2 Chapter 1: Does Golden Finger also y with Matryoshka dolls?
Trantor: 549690339
The Federations Titled Legendary Celestial Brilliance publically confirmed that his son will be studying in our city, quickly sparking a craze for contracting Undead Department Beasts in our city. As such, our guild would like to advise everyone to make rational contracts, instead of blindly chasing stars
Bai Qi put down his phone, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and looked at the bustling crowd and beasts outside the car window as his consciousness slowly sank into his Soul Space. He looked at the giant white egg inside, sighing helplessly.
[Name]: Evolution Egg
[Condition]: Inactive
This was the umpteenth time he had checked this egg since he traveled to this world, but the data behind the Evolution Egg apparently had no n to change, it was always in an inactive state.
A Golden Finger that couldnt be activated was worse than not having one at all.
Master, please stop the car.
The car stopped obediently. Bai Qi stood up, carrying his backpack and quickly got off. He then headed toward the nearby Elf House.
As soon as he got close, Bai Qi saw Beast Masters holding small beast-like skulls walking out of the building in front of him.
The Elf House.
Thergest beast breeding base in Gusu City, which also operates a Beast trading business, and asionally adopts stray beasts.
The Elf House was mainly focused on canine beasts, but other types of beasts were also avable, albeit undead ones were very rare.
The star effect was really powerful indeed
The news he had just seen shed through Bai Qis mind. He quickly pulled his gaze back, pushed open the door, and walked into the Elf House. He saw a thin youth patientlyforting a Golden Dog.
Zhuge Chen quickly noticed Bai Qis arrival. He handed the Golden Dog, which was already calm, to an employee next to him. He walked to Bai Qi and asked, Didnt you have a ss with Professor Chu today? Why are you here so early?
Bai Qi shrugged and said, You know, if I had waited for Professor Chu to finish, I wouldnt have been able toe over today. By the way, wheres that guy? I brought his new mechanical prosthesis.
Zhuge Chenughed and said, The previous prosthesis waspletely destroyed by his biting. Now hes resting in the rehabilitation room. Ill take you there.
Bai Qi nodded and left with Zhuge Chen for the rehabilitation room.
Someone, catch that little skeleton!
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a cry of rm suddenly came from the distance. A small, delicate skeleton suddenly ran out of a room, scampering frantically in all directions.
Roar?
The dog-like beasts around them immediately perked up at the sight of the little skeleton, charging towards the skeleton.
These were stray beasts adopted by the Elf House, and naturally acted on instinct without a Beast Masters control.
The little skeleton was also aware of the enemy approaching quickly and reacted just as quickly, darting around through the crowd with deft agility, and the pack of dogs was unable to catch him.
Was this guy truly among the very slow Undead Department low-level servant skeleton soldiers who could be outpaced by 70-year-olds?
Bai Qi looked somewhat baffled at the agile little skeleton slicing through the crowd, doubting what he was seeing. As the Beast Masters hesitated, he took a small metal ball out of his bag, took aim at the right time, and threw it at the little skeleton. Arge made of characteristic fibers flew out.
Although there were no ferocious beasts wreaking havoc in Gusu City, there were asionally situations where beasts lost control. Bai Qi had prepared some knick-knacks for self-defense and the Spider Web Ball was one of them.
Sensing the spider web suddenly overhead, the little skeleton instinctively wanted to dodge, but the roads around were blocked by the dogs. The little skeleton could only watch as the spider web enveloped it.
The little skeleton that was caught by the spider web was evidently not willing to cooperate, struggling with all its might. But the spider web only tightened, and by the time Bai Qi approached, the little skeleton could not move at all.
You really are not afraid of causing trouble, Zhuge Chen, putting a skeleton and dogs together.
As Bai Qi picked up the small skeleton and was about to hand it to Zhuge Chen, he suddenly felt a tremor in his consciousness space. The giant white egg, silent for many years, suddenly shook violently. The surface was instantly covered in countless cracks, letting out streaks of ck light.
Finally, the light faded, the eggshell scattered to the ground, and the thing inside was revealed.
Another egg?!
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron 0%)
[Condition]: Activated
Gazing at the ck giant egg in his soul space, Bai Qi felt as if his heart had been trampled by tens of thousands of divine beasts, a chaotic mess.
Did the so-called Golden Finger also y with matryoshka dolls these days?!
However, why did the Evolution Egg, which had been silent for so many years, suddenly awaken today?
Bai Qi exited his soul space, looked at the Little Skeleton struggling desperately in the spider web, and pondered with a doubtful expression.
Bai Qi, your left hand
Zhuge Chen pointed at Bai Qis left hand and asked, Have you awakened your talent?
Bai Qi, stunned at these words, followed Zhuges nce and found an intricate rune mark appearing on the back of his left hand.
Rune marks, the medium for Beast Masters to link their beast control space to summon beasts.
It was also the hallmark of a Beast Master.
Surely, was the Evolution Egg his Beast Mastery Talent? If it hadnt suddenly activated today, he might never have be a Beast Master in his lifetime.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi once again looked at Little Skeleton, feeling the informationing from the Evolution Egg. After a moment of silence, he said to Zhuge Chen, Ill buy this skeleton.
Then, without waiting for Zhuge Chens reply, Bai Qi ced his left hand on Little Skeletons head.
In an instant, the rune mark on Bai Qis left hand suddenly spread out, transforming into two transparent circr arrays that enveloped Little Skeleton, one on top, one below.
Seeing these two bing arrays gradually closing in, Little Skeleton struggled instinctively, but it calmed down the instant it came into contact with the array, allowing itself to gradually disappear into the array.
Finally, when the two arrays fully closed, the figure of Little Skeleton disappearedpletely and appeared in Bai Qis soul space.
Then, Bai Qi felt a warm current flow throughout his body and soul in an instant. His spirit invigorated, it seemed that even his body had be much stronger.
After contracting a beast, a Beast Master would receive certain feedback. He had truly be a Beast Master.
Bai Qi shook his head and gradually adjusted to the sudden surge of spirit power, then shifted his attention to Little Skeleton.
[Name]: Skeleton Soldier
[Race]: Undead Department
[Development Level]: Zero Stage, Level One
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Servant (Mutation)
[Racial Skill]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Beginner)
[Condition]: Evolvable
No wonder it was so fast. It turned out to be a mutant species. Its not surprising that the Evolution Egg would guide him to make a contract.
But he didnt even have an offensive skill. This was quite weak. No wonder it was a low-level servant at the bottom of the Undead Department, the kind that even mutation couldnt save.
Everybody knew that bloodline level represented a pet beasts basic attributes and growth limit, while the development level reflected a pet beasts developmental condition.
This low-level servant, the Skeleton Soldier, probably wouldnt stand a chance against a second-stage elite creature even if it advanced to the third stage.
However, the bloodline levels didnt seem that crucial anymore.
Looking at the Evolvable on Little Skeletons status bar, Bai Qi felt full of anticipation.
Chapter 3 - 3 2: Hatching Eggs Works as Well
3 Chapter 2: Hatching Eggs Works as Well
Trantor: 549690339
Looking at the disappearing Little Skeleton in front of him, Zhuge Chens eyes turned strange, he asked, Bai Qi, did you make a contract with that skeleton?
Bai Qi nodded, saying, Thats right, I felt a connection with this little guy, so I made a contract with him immediately.
A connection? Are you kidding me
Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes,pletely clueless about how to respond.
Ill pay you back for Little Skeletonter, Im going back home.
At this moment, Bai Qi was excited, he quickly made up an excuse and took big strides towards the outside of the Elf House. Only then did Zhuge Chen snap out of it, shaking his mechanical prosthetic in his hand, saying, The mechanical prosthetic is not installed
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Qi had already disappeared at the doorway. Zhuge Chen could only sigh helplessly and quietly put away the prosthetic.
Soon, Bai Qi returned to his home.
A three-story vi with a courtyard.
Bai Qis parents were researchers for a certain consortium, so his living conditions were decent.
However, his parents were often not at home. Apart from the short conversations when they sent him living expenses every month, Bai Qi was not much different from an orphan.
But Bai Qi didnt mind, he enjoyed the peace.
After returning home, Bai Qi began to examine the Rune Mark on the back of his left hand.
After awakening their talent, Beast Masters would form a Rune Mark on the back of their hand, which would also transform the Beast Masters Soul Space into a suitable Beast Control Space for beasts to live in.
Moreover, this Rune Mark would gradually enhance the Beast Masters spirit and physique.
But right now, these were all secondary.
Bai Qi, controlling his Spirit Power and connecting it to the Rune Mark, a Transparent formation appeared before him. Apanied by ripples, a pure white Little Skeleton climbed out from inside.
ording to the Level of the Beast Masters, theplexity and color of the summoning formation would also be different.
Simply put, the higher the level, the moreplex the formation, and the darker the color will be.
For a beginner Beast Master at the First Stage like Bai Qi, the summoning formation was simply a nearly Transparent circr formation.
The summoned Little Skeleton was obviously a bit confused. A mes of Soul flickered continuously in its hollow eye sockets, seeming somewhat unaware of its situation.
ording to the data published by the Federation, Beast Controls Bloodline Level is divided into five sses, namely Servant, Elite, Lord, King, and Emperor.
As a Servant with the lowest rank in the Undead Department, Little Skeletons intelligence was indeed worrisome.
The only hope now was that the Evolution Egg lived up to its name.
Bai Qi immersed his consciousness into the Evolution Egg. A stream of information flooded into his mind, allowing Bai Qi to roughly understand the functions of the Evolution Egg.
Just like its name, the Evolution Egg could freely enhance the Bloodline Level of the Beast Control, strengthen the natural Talent of Beast Control itself.
If it is said that the growth level of Beast Control determines the current strength of Beast Control, then the Bloodline Level determines the upper limit of Beast Control.
In other words, as long as there is an Evolution Egg, it was not impossible for a caterpir to evolve into a Sky-Rending Seat.
With the low racial value of the skeleton soldiers and the Evolution Egg that can enhance the Bloodline Level.
This specialty, was a perfect match!
But how should this be used?
With an experimental mindset, Bai Qiid his hand on Little Skeletons head and extended his Spirit Power towards the Evolution Egg.
The moment Bai Qis Spirit Power touched the Evolution Egg, a ck light extended from his palm, quickly enveloping the Little Skeleton within it. Bai Qi felt a sudden weakness in his body and some trance in his mind.
But this feeling onlysted for a short while, and Bai Qi returned to normal. Looking at the dark eggshell in front of him, his expression became even weirder.
[Name]: ck Iron Egg
[Condition]: Evolving
So its really hatching eggs. Can a creature like a Skeleton even hatch?
Its neither oviparity nor viviparity, how can a skeleton rte to these?
After circling around the ck Iron Egg for quite a bit, Bai Qi eventually gave up the idea of elerating the hatching process by heating it and stood quietly waiting on the side.
Crack.
After waiting for about half an hour, the ck Iron Egg finally cracked open. The shattered shell scattered all over the ground, and the figure of Little Skeleton was also revealed.
It still looked thin, apart from the slightly brighter me in its eye sockets, there didnt seem to be any significant changes.
Thats it?
With a doubtful mind, Bai Qi once again put his hand on Little Skeletons head, his eyes shining.
[Name]: Skeleton Soldier
[Race]: Undead Department (Mutated)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage, Level One
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Servant
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Beginner), Skeletal Hardening (Beginner)
[Condition]: Evolvable
The bloodline level had changed from a low-level servant to a mid-level servant, and there was an additional racial skill.
Such significant changes made Bai Qi wonder whether the effects of the Golden Finger were too strong or whether the base of Little Skeleton was just too weak.
Lets try it one more time.
Thinking about it, Bai Qi once again used the Evolution Egg, silently waiting with anticipation for Little Skeleton to hatch again.
Atst, the moment Little Skeleton appeared, Bai Qi immediately started to investigate.
As he expected, Little Skeletons data had not changed. It was still a mid-level servant, and no new skills were added.
It must be because the foundation was too weak
Bai Qi quietly dismissed the idea of directly evolving the Skeleton into a divine beast. Looking at the lively Little Skeleton in front of him, he suddenly thought of something.
He was so engrossed in researching the Golden Finger, he almost forgot to name the little guy.
Although some Beast Masters simply used the creatures species to name their controlled beasts, the name Skeleton Soldier really was a bit toome.
I choose you, Skeleton Soldier!
Thinking about the image he would project during battles in the future, Bai Qi got goosebumps.
Im going to name you Alpha.
tter tter.
Little Skeleton seemed very satisfied with its new name. With a click of its jaw, it released a wave of affection towards Bai Qi through their shared pact.
Bai Qi, seeing this, was quite satisfied. He said, Alpha, try out your skills.
Little Skeleton nodded, a sh of soul fire emanated in its eyes and a metallic luster emerged from its bones. The originally fragile bones that seemed to break at a single blow suddenly became much harder. However, it seemed they couldnt cover the whole body; only a small part had changed.
After all, these were newly acquired skills, and the proficiency was not yet enough.
Bai Qi stroked his chin, pointing at a big tree in the yard, and said, Alpha, use Skeletal Hardening and attack that tree.
As soon as the words fell, Little Skeleton sprang from its spot and reached the tree at a speed that surprised Bai Qi. It swung a punch.
Bang.
The tree trembled, and a shallow fist mark appeared on it.
Alpha picked up its fallen right arm with a clueless face, looked at the sturdy tree in front of it and then at its own weak bones. The soul me in its eyes dimmed a bit.
Just like in the Elf House, Little Skeletons speed did indeed far exceed its peers. Otherwise, it wouldnt have been able to dodge so many people. The evolution had made it even faster.
Its power, however, was still a bit weak; its output was clearly not enough.
And it seemed that Little Skeleton itself couldnt handle the speed; the joints were too fragile.
It needs to evolve a few more times.
tter tter
Little Skeleton also felt what Bai Qi was thinking. It lifted its spirit again, staring at Bai Qis right hand with an extremely expectant process.
Evolve, I want to evolve!
Bai Qi once again used the Golden Finger to envelop Little Skeleton. After a brief dizziness, he began to think about other possibilities.
Alphas base was simply too low. It would not bebat-ready in a short time. He needed to enhance itsbat power from other aspects first.
Bai Qi pped his hands, immediately made up his mind, and then plunged into the vi.
Chapter 4 - 4 3: Andru Beast - Skeleton Version

The next day.
Zhuge Chen appeared in front of Bai Qis house with arge bag, waited for quite a while after ringing the doorbell, before the gate slowly opened. With deeply set dark circles and worn-out face, Bai Qi appeared at the door.
Seeing that it was Zhuge Chen, Bai Qi shook his somewhat dizzy head and said, Zhuge Chen? You finally came. Did you bring any food?
Uh, are you okay?
Seeing Bai Qi in this state, Zhuge Chens face fell, handing over the shopping bag he was holding to Bai Qi and said, You were fine yesterday
Bai Qi yawned, flipping through the shopping bag while answering, Nothing much, just didnt sleepst night.
Zhuge Chen looked doubtfully at Bai Qi devouring the food like a starving ghost, but didnt ask further, saying, You ran off as soon as the contract was concluded yesterday. I thought Ide see you today and congratte you.
By the way, wheres your skeleton?
Alpha? Hes lying in my workshop.
Bai Qi pointed towards his yard, feeling a wave of dizziness. He immediately took a piece of bread out of his bag, rapidly cleaned it up, and then regained his senses.
Yesterday, he had evolved Alpha six times in a row, nearly draining his already not-so-strong bodypletely. Add to that his own reckless messing around with other things, if Zhuge Chen hade a bitter, he might have starved to death here.
However, it was also a wake-up call for Bai Qi. In the future, when using the Evolution Egg, he must prepare some supplements in advance.
Looking at Bai Qi in this state, Zhuge Chen remembered some rumors about pets of the Undead Department and couldnt help but shudder.
This guy, he hasnt been depleted by that skeleton, has he? He seems to have heard about cases in other cities where pets of the Undead Department had rebelled and sucked the life out of the Beast Master.
Are you sure youre okay?
Bai Qi nodded, saying, Its good that you came, could you lend me a hand?
Zhuge Chen nodded, followed Bai Qi to his workshop, and saw Alpha obediently lying on a tform, but he had already been dismantled into pieces.
This scene was almost identical to that of a bizarre science experiment in the movies.
Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi speechlessly and asked, Is this what you were working onst night?
Alphas foundation is too poor, so I n to strengthen him a bit, Bai Qi nodded, took a mechanical shoulder guard from the side and quickly connected Alphas arm and body.
Dont just stand there, help me install this too. Ive specially designed it as plug-and-y; its not difficult.
Is this your way of asking for help.
Zhuge Chen couldnt help but roll his eyes, but seeing Bai Qi in a state where he could fall asleep at any moment, he earnestly helped out.
Soon, Alpha was assembled once again, still looking frail. But with the addition of the metal armor, he seemed somewhat stronger.
Not bad, now there was no need to worry about Little Skeletons joints falling off due to his fast speed.
Bai Qi examined him up and down and was quite satisfied with his design.
Actually, if it werent for Little Skeletons inability to handle too much weight, Bai Qi would have wanted to add more.
Aser sword, chest te cannon
As long as he wanted, making a beast from the Other Realm like Andru wasnt impossible.
Of course, Bai Qi was only thinking about this, such weapons were only eligible for Beast Masters of the third stage and above. Not only were they worth a fortune, they were also not affordable for a student like Bai Qi, who relied on his parents living subsidy.
Seeing Bai Qi in this state, Zhuge Chen shook his head helplessly and said, So why were you so eager to make the contract yesterday? There were quite a few beasts worth making the Main Pet at Elf House.
Having awakened his talent with much difficulty, but contracting a skeleton soldier with a very low ceiling, Zhuge Chen couldnt help but feel a bit sorry for Bai Qi.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, Alpha may just be a skeleton soldier, but he is considered to be a mutant species. He may not be much worse than others.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen was stunned, and remembering the somewhat abnormal speed of Alpha the day before, he seemed to understand. So thats it. If its a mutant species, then it makes sense.
[Name]: Skeleton Soldier (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Three Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servant (Mutated)
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Beginner), Skeletal Hardening (Beginner), Invisibility (Beginner)
[Condition]: Evolvable
Although they barely avoided dying from exhaustion at home, the gains were also quite good. Not only did they elevate the bloodline level to high-grade servant, they also once again developed a racial skill, and the growth level also improved by three levels.
However, the cost was that the originally neat courtyard now looked like it had been ransacked by bandits.
It seemed that they had to go and equip Alpha with some special training tools.
Zhuge Chen, circling around Alpha, couldnt help but exim, Attaching mechanical weapons to a skeleton soldier, what would Professor Chu think if he found out?
Bai Qi shrugged, This is called learning being put to use, and theres no rule saying that students of Mech are not allowed to install them on other pet beasts.
Mech, full name, Mechanical Pet Beast Arms Design, was also one of the special majors of Star Mechanics Academy.
Um I suppose so.
At Zhuge Chens words, he was somewhat at a loss and couldnt refute Bai Qis argument.
Even though there are no instances of mechanical arms and non-mechanical pets being put together yet, some auxiliary mechanical equipment is still rtively popr with pet-type pet beasts. As for installing weapons, there seems to be no explicit prohibition against it.
So, are you nning to raise this um, Alpha as a mechanical pet beast? I remember traditional pet beasts and mechanical pet beasts dont have the same energy, do they?
Bai Qi shook his head, That wont be the case, its only a temporary solution for now.
The strength of a Mechanical Beast was that it could be equipped with various weapons and energy sources. As long as the resources and technology were in ce, and it didnt exceed the mental capacity of the Beast Master, it could be strengthened indefinitely.
Alphas current equipment could only be considered as external weaponry, and still needed to supplement energy separately.
Unless Bai Qi could research a technology that allowed traditional pet beasts and mechanical weaponry to share or convert Energy Value, it could only be used for now.
Of course, the most important reason was that he was broke.
As a newly emerging pet beast system for humanity, Mechanical Beasts, despite their strength and providing the Federation with tools to contend with the kingdom of ferocious beasts, werent affordable for just anyone.
Besides, he had the Evolution Egg on hand, so there was no need to worry about this for now.
Theres nothing that cant be solved by evolution. If there is, then simply evolve multiple times.
Alright, I should get going. I was originally going to have you install the mechanical prosthetics, but lets wait until youve rested.
Zhuge Chen nned to leave after a short stay, and only then did Bai Qi remember that he had been so preupied with studying the Golden Finger the day before that he had forgotten about this.
Its okay, Ill go with you now.
Bai Qi put Alpha into the pet beast space and pulled Zhuge Chen out.
By the way, do you have any other quirky pet beasts like Alpha?
Chapter 5 - 5 Four: Beast Master Association
5 Chapter Four: Beast Master Association
Trantor: 549690339
Argh~
In the Elf House daycare room, Bai Qi silently watched a man and a wolf, ying out a scene of an epic chase, and sighed quietly.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf
[Race]: Wolf Species
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Introduction]: This wolf, which dwells year-round in freezing climates, is calm andposed, boasting remarkable ice-based skills.
Even though Bai Qi was a mechanical engineering student, his knowledge was rather extensive, so he quickly recalled the information about this pet.
However, he found it hard to reconcile the image of this Arctic Ice Wolf with the one in front of him.
The ck and white fur, the deep blue pupils, and the three lines of vertical scars that patterned at the center of its forehead.
Add to that its unusually hyperactive nature it was a spitting image of Bai Qis Husky from his previous life.
It was said that dogs evolved from wolves, but looking at the situation before him, it seemed more like devolution.
What else would you call an Arctic Ice Wolf without any ice-based skills if not a devolution?
Ill handle this.
Seeing Zhuge Chen, who was clearly out of stamina, Bai Qi stepped forward and touched the Husky with a metal stick. The Husky immediately stiffened and fell down.
Gosh~ this rascal, even with one leg less, he couldnt stay quiet.
Seeing the Husky finally stop, Zhuge Chen panted heavily, and asked, But, will it be okay like this?
Bai Qi shook his head and said, Of course, this level of electric current will only paralyze him temporarily, it wont hurt him.
Speaking of which, Bai Qi turned the Husky over, picked up his mechanical limbs and tools from the side, and started working with ease.
Done.
Soon, Bai Qi had installed the mechanical limbs. Seeing the Husky that was stillying still and sticking out its tongue, Bai Qi couldnt help but roll his eyes.
Zhuge Chen, are you sure this guys leg was smashed by an ice block and not bitten off by its own kind?
With such an amusing personality, this Husky would certainly be treated as an oddball within its stern-faced Arctic Ice Wolf peers.
Zhuge Chen shrugged, and said, Who knows, but you reminded me. Ever since the mechanical limb was installed, it has been rejected by its own kind. I must arrange a separate room for it.
As soon as his words fell, the Husky abruptly stood up, randomly bolted, and steadily fled the daycare room.
Argh!
In this world, there was no cage that could lock him up!
Watching the quickly retreating Husky, Bai Qi took out a remote control and pressed a button. A small electric current suddenly sprang from the mechanical limb, causing the Husky to twitch all over and fall to the ground. The air was faintly filled with the scent of roasted meat.
I installed an electric shock device inside. it will prevent this guy from running around in the future. Here, this is the remote control.
Zhuge Chen took the remote control, not knowing what to say, but Bai Qi was impatient and urged him, Okay, take me to see those more entric pets you have.
Zhuge Chen nced at Bai Qi in confusion, and asked, Why, are you looking for some more mutant species?
Bai Qi nodded and said, Sort of.
The Evolution Eggs activation had been rather sudden, and Bai Qi wasnt sure yet if it was because of the Alpha or the mutation.
The Undead Department Pets werentmon within the city, even if there were any, they were already under contract with someone and he couldnt research on them, so he could only try mutated ones at Zhuge Chens ce.
Once Bai Qi confirmed, Zhuge Chen revealed a helpless look, and said, Youve been to my farm before, if there were any mutated ones then they would have already been booked. As for Alpha, it just came from Undead Hill so no one found out.
Tsk, that makes sense.
Bai Qi could not help but feel some headaches, but still was not willing to give up, and dragged Zhuge Chen around each breeding area again.
Of course, the result was obvious, and the Evolution Egg hadnt undergone any change.
He might just have to go to Undead Hill, but it seemed that only those who had obtained a Beast Master license could go there.
He had been too focused on studying the Golden Finger and had forgotten about this matter.
However, Alpha had just made a contract, and probably wouldnt pass the examination for now. He could take a walk around the training field there, and see the effect of his modification.
Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi hurriedly rushed to the counter, where a young female receptionist weed him with a smile.
Hello, wee to the Beast Master Association. What service would you like to avail?
Bai Qi stepped forward and said, Hello, I want to rent a training ground.
There are only three ways to enhance a Beast Masters pet.
Resources, training, and battle.
Using resources to supplement the growth needs of the pet is the easiest and simplest method, but this method is slow and costs a lot of money.
Training is rtively more challenging, but it can more effectively promote the improvement of the pets own abilities. If it is supplemented with appropriate resources, the effect might be even better.
As for battles, although they have the highest risk and can even threaten the life of a Beast Master, the benefits they bring to the pet and the Beast Master are the most significant.
This benefit is not an improvement in one aspect of ability but is thebat skills and experience gained in life and death. This is not something that can be obtained from resources and training,
Bai Qi had just signed a contract with Alpha and naturally wouldnt risk going outside to engage in any life-and-death battles. As for resources.
What resources can the Undead Department use to enhance themselves? Waiting online, its quite urgent.
So the only option left for Bai Qi was training.
The female receptionist smiled and nodded, saying, Can I know your pets race, so I can arrange a venue for you.
Bai Qi said, Undead Department, Skeleton Soldier.
Upon hearing Bai Qis words, the female receptionists face was a little awkward, and she said, Im sorry, but recently theres been a surge in the number of undead Beast Masters in Gusu City, so the training field for the Undead Department is already full.
This too? Was it because of the Son of Celestial Brillianceing to Gusu City?
Bai Qi couldnt help but despise Gusu Citys blind star-chasing behavior. However, after noticing the strange look in the female receptionists eyes, he quickly realized.
Did she think of him as one of those mindless fans?
Bai Qi felt rather helpless and was about to leave when the female receptionist continued, Of course, if you dont mind, I can arrange for you to train with others.
Usually, Beast Masters dont like to expose their training methods in front of others, but recently the training field for the Undead Department was seriously overcrowded. Most of the ones here were first-stage apprentice Beast Masters, and thats why the association proposed this solution.
No problem.
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and chose to agree.
He wanted to see the training effect of the specialized field first. If the difference wasnt significant, he might as well stay at home and train.
Okay, then. Please fill out your basic information, and then pay 500 Federal Coins to wait for your number.
500 Federal Coins?!
Bai Qi felt a pang of pain. He had just given Alpha a set of simple mechanical armor, and had also paid Zhuge Chen the fee for Little Skeleton. He had very little left of his living expenses.
Although considering the wear and tear of the training field, this price was reasonable, but that didnt help his current financial straits.
It seemed he needed to find a way to earn money. If he only relied on the living expenses given by his parents, Bai Qi would really have to eat dirt.
Chapter 6 - 6 Five: Do You Think You Are a Transformer?

Trantor: 549690339
The poprity of the Undead Departments training grounds far exceeded Bai Qis expectations. It was not until after waiting for roughly an hour that the female receptionist finally began to call Bai Qis name.
Hello, your training partner is also a first stage trainer. He has already gone in. The training period is three hours, and here is your number te. Please keep it properly.
Bai Qi took the number te and rushed towards the training grounds.
Being charged five hundred for three hours, and furthermore, with the cost divided among multiple people, suggested that he would only being here for training once in the short term, considering his funds. Thus, he could not waste any time.
Following the number on the number te, Bai Qi arrived in front of a training room. Looking at the door teeming with an undead atmosphere, he pushed it open and walked in.
Graveyard.
That was Bai Qis first impression upon seeing the scene behind the door.
In order to enhance the effects of pet training, the Beast Master Associations training grounds were generally constructed based on the breed and attributes of the pets they cater to, primarily utilizing same-attribute materials for construction.
However, Bai Qi did not expect the Beast Master Association to have such leisurely sentiments as to create a graveyard here.
While I understand its to maximize the training effect, but was it necessary to make it this creepy
Bai Qi couldnt help but grumble a little.
If a small child were to be frightened here one day, the Beast Master Association might just have to deal with a wave ofints.
As Bai Qi stepped into the training ground, he saw a four-meter-long, hefty-limbed skeletal giant tiger with a mouth full of tusks squatted next to a young man. Its hollow eyes, with twin will-o-the-wisp burning, were fixed on Bai Qi.
[Name]: Ghost Bone Giant Tiger
[Race]: Undead Department
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: Ripping w, Tiger Nutation, Intimidation
Compared to Bai Qis Little Skeleton, the abilities of the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger were clearly several levels above, but Bai Qi did not have any intention ofparing with it. Instead, he summoned Alpha by opening his magic array.
He hadnte to fight, so it didnt matter how strong the others were. Moreover, with the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi didnt worry for Alphas future in the slightest.
Skeleton soldier? Have the Beast Masters of Gusu City gotten so brainless in their pursuit of stardom?
Lu Yuan looked disdainful upon seeing that Bai Qi had summoned a lowest-level skeleton soldier.
But he figured that made sense, as Gusu City was just a small town after all, and they couldnt contract high-rank Undead Department pets.
Also, what the hell were those mechanical guards on its joints?
Once both parties arrived, a middle-aged man dressed in dark-colored work clothes walked out from another small door. Looking at the pets that the two of them had summoned, he said, My name is Lan Shao, I will be your apanying trainer today. As this seems to be your first time here, lets practice evasion and defense.
Upon hearing Lan Shaos words, Lu Yuan frowned, clearly somewhat reluctant.
His Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was a high-grade elite. It didnt exhibit the slow speed and low defense issues of lower-rank skeleton pets. He wanted more practical training.
As he registered this, Lan Shaoughed and said, Do not disparage evasion and defense skills. The higher the ranks of the battle, the more crucial these two skills be.
Bai Qi nodded quite in agreement with Lan Shaos viewpoint.
Preserving oneself was paramount. Only by staying alive was there a chance to progress.
Seeing that there was no disagreement, a blue magic array suddenly appeared in front of Lan Shao. An imposing ck and white giant wolf appeared in front of everybody.
Its appearance was identical to a Husky; however, it emanated an air of royalty.
This is my main pet, the Arctic Ice Wolf King, a Third Stage Lord. All you need to do is dodge its ice arrows as best as you can.
Lan Shao patted the head of the Arctic Ice Wolf King and said, Dont worry, Ill adjust the frequency and power of the attacks based on your status.
Both of them nodded, controlling their beasts to enter the training field, then retreated out of thebat range.
Pets that had already bonded wouldnt attack humans on their own, but if hit by their skills, people could still get hurt, so they couldnt get too close.
Ice Wolf King, use ice arrow.
Seeing that they were ready, Lan Shao ordered the Arctic Ice Wolf King via the psychic bond between a Beast Master and their pet.
Awooo~
The Arctic Ice Wolf King let out a howl, and suddenly its body was surrounded by chilling frost. It opened its mouth wide, and sharp ice arrows flew out, roaring toward Alpha and the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.
Alpha, harden your skeleton, then dodge the ice arrows.
Bai Qi immediately issued themand to Alpha. Given that Lan Shao was focusing on evading and defending today, he naturally didnt want to overdo it. Considering that Alphas skeletal hardening was only at a beginners level, Bai Qi didnt n to resist head-on.
In contrast, Lu Yuan, having seen the ice arrows approaching, issued apletely differentmand.
Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, Ripping w!
Upon receiving themand, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger roared, its front w appearing cloaked in a ghostly light as it swung, tearing through the hail of ice arrows.
Power and burst are good, its been bred quite well.
Lan Shao immediately saw that the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger wasnt simple and secretly praised it, then turned his gaze toward the Little Skeleton, immediately taken aback.
Even though both were under a shower of ice arrows, to amodate Bai Qis Little Skeleton, the attack density on both sides was slightly different.
After all, they were customers, and he couldnt exactly shatter their confidence.
However, considering the way the Little Skeleton was responding, it seemed he might have overthought it?
Unlike the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, who forcefully resisted the ice arrows, the Little Skeleton had no intention of resisting directly. It relied solely on its speed to dodge, clearly with ease.
Even when it encountered unavoidable situations, the Little Skeletons joints would bend at unorthodox angles to forcefully dodge.
The Little Skeleton even managed to roll itself into a skeleton ball to evade the ice arrows.
ncing at Bai Qis school emblem on his clothes, Lan Shao seemed to understand something and immediately issued a newmand to the Ice Wolf King.
Whew Whew Whew!
Upon receiving themand, the frequency of ice arrows on the side of the Little Skeleton suddenly increased drastically, and likewise on the side of the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.
Faced with the sudden esction of the Ice Wolf Kings attack, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger clearly felt the pressure. It not only used Ripping w, but also began to properly dodge. When evasion was not possible, it even chose to resist with its body.
Indeed, even if a Third Stage Beast Master refrained from unleashing full power, the skills they utilized werent something to be casually resisted.
However, this was a good thing. He could focus on training once that guy knew his limits and retreated earlier.
Lu Yuan looked at his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, which was advancing and retreating with tact, but noticed that the attention of Lan Shao and even the Ice Wolf King were not on his giant tiger, but all focused on the Little Skeleton on the side.
Was it shattered?
Following Lan Shaos gaze, he saw that under the concentrated attack of the Ice Wolf King, the Little Skeleton waspletely unscathed. It skillfully dodged all the ice arrows, without even a slight scrape.
Seeing this, Lu Yuans expression turned weird.
Such fast speed and varied body forming, do you think youre a Transformer?

7 Chapter 6: Predecessors Truly Did Not Deceive Me
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi naturally noticed their gazes and was quite satisfied with his modifications.
When he designed the shoulder guards, he not only considered strengthening the joint connections but also reced the joints with spherical jointsmonly used in mechanical beasts.
With this type of joint installed, Alphas movements were not limited to conventional cognition, and its degree of freedom in movement was substantially enhanced.
Only an undead creature like Alpha could undergo such an operation. Other pets wouldnt be able to.
Watching Alpha in the field effortlessly dodging the ice arrows with his constantly twisting body, Bai Qi suddenly lost some interest in the training and thought about leaving.
The experiment results were apparent. There seemed to be no point in staying around longer, especially when they werent training for actualbat.
The training had only started fifteen minutes ago. Shouldnt the front desk be willing to refund him?
That kids expression, why does it annoy me so much
Seeing the bored expression on Bai Qis face, Lan Shao suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation. The Arctic Ice Wolf King felt the same way, and the originally slender ice arrows suddenly transformed into ice cones.
Crackle, crackle.
When the ice arrows changed into ice cones, Alpha immediately felt the pressure increase. His original rxed movements suddenly became a bit rushed, but after a brief adaptation, he managed to cope.
The innocent Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, however, wasnt as fortunate. After struggling for a while, it was hit by the concentrated ice cones and had its leg bone be broken, temporarily losing its fighting capability.
It was because the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was injured that Lan Shao realized his error. He immediately ordered the Ice Wolf King to stop its actions and asked Bai Qi, Has your skeleton soldier undergone mutations?
Bai Qi nodded when he heard the question, he didnt have any intention of hiding anything, and candidly admitted it.
Little Skeletons speed was so exaggerated. If he didnt admit that it was a mutation, others might suspect him.
Although the Evolution Egg seemed to be very simr to the Beast Master Talent, it was better to be cautious.
Moreover, Alpha was indeed a mutant species.
I see, that exins it.
Lan Shao nodded. Even though the modifications were refreshingly new, even without them, the Skeleton Soldiers speed was unusually high.
It was somewhat wasteful to have this rare mutation, which you might note across even if you were to have ten thousand beasts, happening on a skeleton soldier that was doomed to have no future.
But, Lan Shaos professional ethics would not let him express his improper remarks. After a brief pause, he continued speaking, Since your pet is a mutant, I will increase the difficulty a bit.
Lan Shao made eye contact with the Ice Wolf King, and the wolf understood immediately. With a long howl, the temperature in the training field dropped several degrees, and frost gradually appeared on the ground.
Your Ghost Bone Giant Tiger should be okay, right?
Lan Shao looked towards Lu Yuans Ghost Bone Giant Tiger. The leg bone broken by the ice cone had already been reconnected and regained movement.
The biggest advantage of the Undead Department Beasts is that unless they encounter an attribute counter, they can fully recover given sufficient time.
In that case, lets get started.
Seeing Lu Yuan nod, Lan Shaopletely ignored Bai Qi, who seemed eager to speak but did not, andunched another attack.
Didnt this guy intend to let me get a refund?
Bai Qi rolled his eyes in annoyance. Watching the Arctic Ice Wolfunching another attack, he had no choice but to make Alpha resist the Ice Wolf Kings attack with all his might.
Through the brief battle before, the Ice Wolf King had generally understood the situation of their two sparring partners. Even though the ice spear attack was the same, the rhythm was inconsistent. Sometimes an Ice Storm would be mixed in, and the frost on the ground made it even harder for the two beasts to dodge.
This time, the Ghost Bone Giant Tigersted even a shorter time before it was defeated. Lu Yuan did not force the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to keep resisting, letting it rest on the side instead.
Although Undead Department Beasts have high resistance to non-attribute counter attacks, it still takes time for them to recover. Moreover, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger spent a lot of energy when it used its abilities and needed time to recover.
During the respite, Lu Yuan finally had time to observe Alpha slowly.
An undead beast is not like a regr beast. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a bloodline. To mutate, it either needed to have an unusual status when it was alive or be exposed to something special after its death.
Looking at the appearance of the Little Skeleton, thetter seemed more likely.
After its over, I should ask him where he got this skeleton soldier. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains.
Lu Yuan made up his mind.
When Lu Yuan was making his own calctions, Bai Qi was gradually immersing himself in the training.
He had only sworn an alliance with Alpha for one day. They hadnt even participated in a decent battle. Instead, it was through this training that he was beginning to feel the allure of beast warfare.
Alpha, go invisible.
Seeing that Alpha, who was clearly bing more harried, Bai Qi took the initiative to give orders. Alphas originally an frigid-white bone immediately became blurred and slowly disappeared from their vision.
Invisibility skill? Not bad, but the skill level is too low.
Seeing Little Skeleton using invisibility, Lan Shao couldnt help but praise it. However, he soon found Little Skeletons traces. After sending a thought to the Ice Wolf King, the beast heavily pounded the ground. Rows of ice spikes erupted from the ground, resembling a long snake slithering towards a dark corner.
Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately tried to dodge. His body wobbled suddenly, however, and his movements slowed down for a brief moment, forcing him to watch the ice spikes envelop him.
The Arctic Ice Wolf King stopped its attack in time, but Little Skeletons leg bones were hit by the ice spikes, breaking on the spot.
This is an exclusive training field for the Undead Department. The recovery speed of undead creatures here is faster than usual, so theres no need to worry.
Upon seeing Little Skeleton injured, Lan Shao promptly exined.
After all, he was a trainee Beast Master. In case he knew nothing andined about himter, it would be quite troublesome.
Bai Qi nodded, allowing Alpha to use Bone-breaking Reformation to repair himself, while thoughtfully observing Alphas mechanical joints.
Alpha was clearly aware of the previous attack, but because his movements were unstable, he was hit.
It seemed that even if he chose some lightweight metals for manufacturing, the changes to Alphas center of gravity were unavoidable.
The structure still needed to be simplified. Some unnecessary defenses could be abandoned.
He also needed to think about how to assemble weaponster.
Tsk
While Alphas speed was exaggeratingly high, its other basic attributes were too poor, resulting in its speed advantage not being fully utilized.
The barrel effect, those before me were not deceiving me.

Trantor: 549690339
Creak, crack.
(Master, I think I got a bit stronger.)
Just as Bai Qi was contemting how to enhance Alphas armaments, Alpha suddenly ryed a message to him, breaking Bai Qis train of thought.
Alpha had used Bone-breaking Reformation to heal its injuries. Curiously prodding at the area that had been broken previously, Bai Qi looked along with it and noticed something unusual as well.
These bones, seemed to have gotten stronger?
Did Bone-breaking Reformation have this effect?
Bai Qi cast a dubious gaze towards the Ghost Bone Giant Tigers leg which had been broken earlier. Not noticing anything unusual, he pondered for a moment before turning to Lan Shao, Could I just train in defense for now?
Startled at these words, Lan Shao nodded, Of course, your beasts evasive capabilities are indeed not bad.
Alright, thank you.
Bai Qi expressed his thoughts to Lan Shao, causing Lan Shaos expression to be puzzled, Are you sure about this?
Bai Qi nodded, Yes, it might just be a bit troublesome.
Lan Shao responded, Not really, as long as you dont mind.
Having second thoughts? No chance. Didnt you see that the skeleton is even more excited than the Beast Master?
Bai Qi quickly disassembled Alphas mechanical guard and sent Alpha back into battle. However, Lu Yuan didnt rush to join the fight, instead he watched from the sidelines.
His Ghost Bone Giant Tiger had been using skills to fight earlier and consumed quite a bit of energy, so he needed some time to recover.
He wanted to see what this strange mechanical skeletons master was thinking.
Ice Wolf King, attack.
Upon receiving Lan Shaos order, the Ice Wolf King looked at the small skeleton, which wasnt even as big as his paw, in front of him, ncing uncertainly at its master.
Really smack it?
Smack!
What if I smash it?
Just dont hit the head.
After getting confirmation from its Beast Master, the Ice Wolf King stopped hesitating and directly smashed its paw towards Alpha. Alpha instantly shattered, leaving only a perfectly intact skull.
Yet within no time, all of Alphas bones reattached under some mysterious force, swiftly restoring to its original form.
This little skeleton recovers so fast.
This time both Lan Shao and Lu Yuan noticed Alphas excessive recovery speed. However, after considering Alphas mutant status, they quickly let it go and continued attacking Alpha.
Mutation, well, its pretty normal.
Three hours passed in a sh.
Times just about up, lets bring the training to an end.
Lan Shao watched the still eager Alpha and Bai Qi, and said with a bitter smile, Although undead beasts recover fast as long as their soul cores arent damaged, you have to know when to stop.
Okay, I understand.
Bai Qi nodded, but the excited expression on his face gave him away.
[Name]: Skeleton Soldier (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage, Level Four
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servants (Mutated)
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Proficient), Skeletal Hardening (Proficient), Stealth (Novice)
[Condition]: Evolvable
Bai Qi patted Alphas small head, which seemed to find it to be quite enjoyable, creating a series of crisp cracking sounds.
Be stronger, stronger!
Even though its growth level did not rise, Bone-breaking Reformation and Skeletal Hardening had both be proficient. The efficiency was terrifying.
The Beast Master Associations training was really different; those five hundred dors were well-spent.
Its a pity that he couldnt afford to keeping, his wallet couldnt handle it.
Sigh~
I wonder when Ill be able to obtain the Beast Master license, otherwise, I wont even be able to afford a pet.
If theres nothing else, I will leave first.
After greeting Lan Shao and Lu Yuan, Bai Qi left the training room directly.
Uh, goodbye. Huh?!
Lu Yuan nodded nkly, then suddenly remembered that he had not asked Bai Qi where he got the Little Skeleton from, and quickly chased after him.
However, he was a step toote.
Considering his age, he should be in university, and I think theres only one university in Gusu City, the Star Mechanics Academy. Is he a student there?
Lu Yuan recalled the mechanical armor on Alpha earlier, and suddenly understood. He turned to ask Lan Shao who was next to him.
Is the person who was training with us just now a student from Star Mechanics?
Lan Shao thought for a moment and replied, Yes, he is a student of the Mechanic Martial Arts Department in Star Mechanics Academy.
Mechanic Martial Arts?
The speciality that provides weapons design and manufacturing services for mechanical Beast Masters?
Do researchers have this kind of training?
Lu Yuan unconsciously looked at the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger in front of him and couldnt help but ask Lan Shao, Is the training method he used just now really feasible?
Lan Shao was taken aback, pondered his words, answered, Every Beast Master has their unique training methods, it really depends on you. However, I personally believe that blind obedience is not advisable.
Lu Yuan nodded. Looking at the imposing Ghost Bone Giant Tiger in front of him, he dismissed Bai Qis unconventional training method.
He specially came to Gusu City to study with the Son of Celestial Brilliance, he will certainly learn the most effective training method for the Undead Department Beasts.
This peculiar method, its better not to learn.
I want to continue training, deduct the fee from my ount.
Hmm~
This time, I want the exclusive use of the area!
After leaving the Beast Master Association, Bai Qi, feeling a bit hungry, quickly walked towards the nearestmercial street.
Alpha is of the Undead n, he can go without food or sleep, but Im a human, I cant do that.
Also, the use of Evolution Egg requires physical and mental energy, hence, my food requirements are even higher.
Phew~ I am really broke now.
Bai Qi tossed tworge bags on the ground, looked at the bottles and cans inside, opened one bottle, hesitated for a moment, but still threw a gray pill into his mouth.
Compressed ration pill.
Its the most widely circted type ofpressed food on the market, consuming one can sustain a normal persons physical requirements for half a day. Its suitable for researchers who dont have time to eat or Beast Masters who adventure outside.
But the taste, well~
You get what you pay for, thats the universal truth in any world.
Bai Qi managed to swallow onepressed ration pill, then chugged a few mouthfuls of water, which finally removed some of the indescribable taste in his mouth.
I need to think of a way to make some money, the taste of nutrient solution is said to be a lot better.
Having solved his food issue, Bai Qi summoned Alpha again.
Clickety-ck.
(Master, are we continuing training?)
As soon as Alpha appeared, he expressed his desire to continue training to Bai Qi, who shook his head and said, No rush, we need to bnce work and rest, lets first level up the bloodline.
Clickety-ck.
Alphas eyes dimmed, he was clearly regretful.
When we have money, lets go back to the training.
On seeing the disappointed face of Alpha, who looked like a child denied candy, Bai Qi was surprised.
From low-grade servants to high-grade ones, Alphas intelligence had increased greatly.
Well, it should be equivalent to a three to five-year-old child.
I wonder how much it will increase when he breaks through to the Elite Level.
Bai Qi put his right hand on Alphas head, a pitch-ck eggshell once more enveloped Alpha, and Bai Qi returned to his own workshop.
Chapter 9 - 9 8: Steel + Skeleton = ?
9 Chapter 8: Steel + Skeleton = ?
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi gazed at the mechanical armor in front of him, reflecting on his recent training. He took out a pen and paper and started to sketch. Soon, a brand-new design for mechanical armor appeared in his hands.
This time, hed discarded some unnecessary defense armor, keeping only the basic structure. Then he reconsidered the whole weight distribution; there should be no more loss of bnce during high-speed movement as experienced before.
Bai Qi looked at the ck giant egg quietly lying in the courtyard and began the transformation.
Since the economy hadnt caught up yet, hed have to rough it out for a while.
Because he was just making adjustments, Bai Qi quicklypleted the transformation, while the ck Iron Egg in the courtyard cracked open.
Alpha skillfully crawled out from the ck Iron Egg, allowing his body to absorb the shell of the ck Iron Egg. The initially dull skeleton due to continuous training instantly became crystal clear.
It must be because of the Evolution Egg. Otherwise, how would amonly used technique in the Undead Department have such a special effect?
Seeing what happened to Alpha, Bai Qi immediately understood and then proceeded to install the new armor.
Come, lets see how effective it is.
Crack-ack.
Alpha nodded, then began running quickly around the courtyard. He encountered any obstacle without slowing down, just using his flexible joints to change shape and dodge.
Once I have moneyter on, Ill rece Alphas armor with a lightweight metal one. The effect should be considerably improved.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, unconsciously picturing future scenarios in his mind. But soon, he came to his senses.
With his current resources, he couldnt afford to acquire the rare metal needed for light and defensive gear. The priority was to enhance Alphas power as much as possible and get his Beast Master license.
The armor is fine for now; the next step is the weapon.
Bai Qi summoned Alpha to his side and again brought out the ck Iron Egg to envelop Alpha, all while considering what weapon to equip Alpha with.
Alphas speed is extremely fast, but its body is very fragile, not suitable for heavier weapons, and the remaining material also doesnt allow for it. So, wait a second!
Halfway through his thoughts, Bai Qi suddenly remembered something. He looked sharply towards Alpha, who was already thoroughly covered by the ck Iron Egg, a regretful expression on his face.
He was so focused on what weapon to equip Alpha to that hed forgotten to first take off the mechanical armor on Alpha.
Hopefully, this wouldnt affect Alphas evolution; otherwise, it would be a huge loss.
Worried about Alphas condition, Bai Qi lost his mood to keep fiddling with the weapon. He paced back and forth around the ck Iron Egg, afraid hed miss something.
Crack!
Finally, under Bai Qis anxious gaze, the ck Iron Egg cracked open again, but Alpha did not immediately emerge like before.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi quickly stepped forward, only to see a figure suddenly leaping out of the eggshell andnding steadily in front of him.
If it wasnt Alpha, who else could it be?
Seeing that Alpha was unharmed, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then noticed that Alphas originally pale white bones seemed to have some metallic luster.
Was it affected after all?
Bai Qi furrowed his brows, his spirit power locked onto Alpha, and a new set of information appeared in his mind.
[Name]: Shadow Bone Spike (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Five
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Proficient), Steel Skeleton (Beginner), Shadow Lotus Skill (Beginner)
[Condition]: Evolvable
Was this racial evolution?!
Though he had heard that the bloodline level would undergo changes in the beasts race when breaking through significant boundaries, Bai Qi had only read about it in books, not expecting to experience it himself.
Bai Qi could barely hide his tion, leaping in cheer, and Alpha, sensing his Beast Masters mood, was also dancing in joy.
However, Bai Qi was ultimately a pragmatic man, and his rationality soon overcame his emotions. He quickly became calm and started studying Alphas evolution.
Besides its race evolving from the most ordinary of skeleton soldiers into Shadow Bone Spikes, the bloodline level had also been upgraded from a servant to a low-level elite.
It took him one time to go from low-level servant to mid-level, two times from mid-level servant to high-grade, and six times from high-grade servant to low-level elite.
1, 2, 6.
He couldnt detect any pattern from it.
Plus, there was the factor of the mechanical armor.
Bai Qi nced at the mechanical armor that hadpletely integrated with Alpha and felt a twinge of regret.
If he had known that the Evolution Egg had this ability, he would have designed a full body armor for Alpha, even if it meant selling everything.
Bai Qi fiercely pulled at his hair, forcibly directing his attention onto Alphas skills.
There were still three skills, but apart from Bone-breaking Reformation, the other two skills had changed.
Skeletal Hardening had turned into Steel Skeleton. The effect was simr to Skeletal Hardening, but there seemed to be an inclusion of steel properties, which was probably due to the absorbed mechanical armor.
The original Stealth had unexpectedly changed into Shadow Lotus, which left Bai Qi somewhat puzzled.
[Name]: Shadow Lotus
[Introduction]: This is a Shadow Department skill. It can erase the users presence, hiding in shadow and control the skeleton to attack the enemy,
an active attack skill!
A bright light shed across Bai Qis eyes. He pointed towards a big tree in the courtyard and said, Alpha, use the Shadow Lotus!
Alpha nodded and immediately vanished into a residual shadow. Bai Qi then saw a flower made of bone emerge from behind the trees shade, gently twisting around it.
The lush green tree was instantly shattered, leaving a mess on the ground. Alpha quickly reverted to its original form, and the Fire of Soul in its sockets was dancing with glee.
Alpha had finally be stronger!
Feeling the joy radiating from Alpha, Bai Qi couldnt help but burst into a wide grin.
The Shadow Lotus consumed a high amount of energy and was evidently more effective when used for sneak attacks. However, this did not conceal its formidable power.
At the very least, it was a perfect trump card.
As for regr battles, given Alphas speed, as long as it was paired with a bit of weaponry, it should be enough.
What weapon?
Shadow Bone Spike.
The best pair for an assassin was undoubtedly the dagger.
Bai Qi instantly decided on Alphas primary weapon, and sensing Bai Qis thought, Alpha twirled its palm, and two Bone Daggers appeared in its hands.
Okay, no more fretting about where to find materials for weapon making.
The Bone Daggers coupled with the Steel Skeleton wouldnt be inferior to typical metal ones.
Bai Qi patted Alpha on the head. With a sudden spark of inspiration, he returned to his workshop, grabbed the remaining materials, and threw them into Alphas hands, announcing, Alpha, lets evolve once more.
Chapter 10 - 10 9: The Spirit of a Worker
10 Chapter 9: The Spirit of a Worker
Trantor: 549690339
He wasnt sure if it was because Alpha had evolved into an elite, but this time the consumption was greater than before.
The moment the ck Iron Egg took form, Bai Qi felt weak all over, as if he hadnt eaten for days. He felt dizzy and only managed to regain his strength after consuming several condensed food tablets.
Bai Qi pulled up a chair to sit in front of the ck Iron Egg, quietly waiting for Alpha to hatch once again, all the while contemting his next steps.
The functionality of the Evolution Egg was quite impressive, except for the after-effects which were rather ufortable.
He wondered if his frail body could sustain the process once Alphas bloodline level increased further.
Although it was said that a Beast Masters physical endurance would increase as the strength of their beast improves, it seemed that his body was not keeping up with the energy consumption of the Evolution Egg.
So, the best current solution was to buy some nutrient solution to supplement the energy consumption.
Nutrient solutions, made from fruits of various nt-type beasts, contained more energy than condensed food tablets.
However, they were a bit pricey
So, he really needed to make some money!
Bai Qi sighed. He had been so busy shopping for supplies in the morning that he forgot to check if there were any suitable tasks for an apprentice Beast Master at the Beast Master Association.
In this era, Beast Masters had integrated into all walks of life in the Federation. If Federation residents encountered problems they couldnt solve, they would postmissions at the Beast Master Association.
However, an apprentice like him wasnt likely to get any good tasks.
Crack.
He didnt know if it was because Alphas bloodline level had increased, but it took an hour for Alpha to hatch this time. Alpha was still holding those pieces of scrap metal.
Was thest time just a coincidence?
It seemed like there was less scrap metal this time though?
Alpha, anything changed?
tter, tter.
(I feel tougher.)
Bai Qi nodded, surveying the enhanced metallic sheen on Alphas body, and had a hunch.
Seems like the previous remarkable effect was due to Alphas coincidental upgrade from a servant to an elite, whereas under regr circumstances, Alpha could only absorb a portion of the elements.
However, this gave Bai Qi a glimpse into a new world.
Alpha absorbed steel, which led to a new skill: Steel Skeleton. If he were to add some diamonds or the like the next time Alphas bloodline level breaks through, would there be any changes?
Or, even more outrageously, could adding elemental materials result in a new race with other attributes?
me Skeleton? Frozen Skeleton?
The more Bai Qi thought about it, the more excited he became. But when he thought about his nearly depleted wallet, his enthusiasm quickly died down.
Well, hed see what tasks were avable at the Beast Master Association the next day.
As for now
Bai Qi looked at the metal scraps still remaining in Alphas hand, swallowed a few condensed food tablets in advance, and then activated the Evolution Egg.
The familiar weakness overcame him. Bai Qi didnt hesitate to swallow the food tablets but still felt a bit dizzy. He simplyid on the ground, closed his eyes, and rested.
At this rate, hed have to move the Evolution Egg to his bedroom next time since it would be morefortable to lie down on a bed.
The next day.
Bai Qi woke up and saw Alpha practicing his swordy in the courtyard. He stretchednguidly.
He had evolved Alpha four times in a row the previous day and absorbed all the scrap metal. Even though he had used condensed food to recover quickly, he couldnt endure the mental exhaustion and fell asleep after leaving Alpha to train on its own.
Bai Qi originally thought he would feel some after-effects the next morning, but he actually felt surprisingly refreshed, even more so than usual.
Turns out there were positive effects from overexertion. Hed have to n his use of the Evolution Egg more carefully in the future; there might be beneficial effects.
Bai Qi walked into the courtyard, and Alpha, sensing his arrival, paused its exercise. In a sh, it was standing right in front of Bai Qi.
tter, tter.
(Master, are we going back to that ce to train today?)
After evolving to elite, Alpha could now express its thoughts more clearly.
Bai Qi gave an awkward smile, saying, We will go, but not for training. We need to make some money.
tter, tter.
Alpha seemed to somewhat understand and nodded, then returned to the Beast Control Space. After a quick wash up, Bai Qi set off for the Beast Master Association once more.
Hello, are you here to rent a training field today?
The female receptionist had a good memory and recognized Bai Qi at once.
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly, replying, Uh not for training today, Im here to check out avable tasks.
The receptionist pointed at the digital board on the wall of the Association hall, exining, All tasks released by the Association are posted on the notice board. Whether or not you can find a suitable task will depend on your luck.
Bai Qi looked in the direction the receptionist pointed to. Seeing the bustling crowd of people choosing tasks under the notice board, he couldnt help but cover his face with his hand.
Regardless of which world it was, there were always jobs to be done, it seemed.
Bai Qi took a task board from the receptionist, entered his information, and started searching.
[F-ranked Task]: Haunted House Recruitment
[Task Description]: Appoint ghost-type beasts to be staff members
The reward was alright, and the job seemed quite easy, but unfortunately, Alpha was more of a skeleton type and did not meet the requirements Skip, skip, skip.
[F-ranked Task]: Cleaning up Scattered Bones
[Task Description]: Recently in Gusu City, people have been casually discarding bones of undead creatures, causing much fear among the citys residents
Cleaning scattered bones sounded simple but the reward was too little, probably even less than what Alpha would make from doing deliveries.
[F-ranked Task]: Sparring Partner
[Task Description]: Designated undead beasts are required for battle practice
The reward was pretty generous, plus it offered a chance to use the training field for free. This was the one
Wait?! Its already been taken! Who took it!?
[F-ranked Task]: Capturing the Scallion Bird
The reward was quite lucrative. Sadly, Alpha couldnt fly, so it was impossible to take on this task
[F-ranked Task]: Wilderness Escort
Tons of tasks were posted, but despite searching for a while, Bai Qi couldnt find any suitable ones.
The F-ranked tasks were mostly small and fiddly jobs with low pay. The Beast Master Association only epted these tasks to give apprentice Beast Masters more opportunities to practice.
Most Beast Masters, including Bai Qi, saw it that way.
Only there were just too many people looking for tasks here at the Association. Several good tasks that Bai Qi asionally came across were quickly snatched up by others.
That speed, it would have taken them at least 20 to 30 years to master it.
Maybe he should really let Alpha do deliveries after all

Bai Qi had practically gone through all the F-rank tasks, yet he still hadnt found a mission that caught his interest.
Maybe he should just pick a few random tasks to alleviate his financial pressure?
Just as Bai Qi was preparing to sumb to reality, an E-rank task appeared on the mission board.
In contrast to the F-rank tasks that mostly dealt with trivial matters, E-rank tasks tended to carry a degree of risk, so only professional Beast Masters usually had the qualifications to ept them.
However, it was surprising to Bai Qi that such an E-rank task would appear on the mission board for apprentice Beast Masters.
[E-rank Task]: Eradicate the Screaming Mushrooms
Screaming Mushrooms were a kind of nt-attribute beast, with a racial skill of shrieking. They mostly grew on the periphery of the Undead Hill, hiding in the mud and only popping up when people approached.
If someone wasnt prepared in advance, they could easily faint from the mushrooms screams. If no other person happened to find them, by the time they woke up, they would likely be met with a swarm of undead creatures.
Why would the Beast Master Association send an apprentice Beast Master on such a task? Had the staff gone mad?
With questions brewing, Bai Qi carefully read the task information and finally understood.
Recently, due to the surge of undead poprity in Gusu City, the Beast Masters venturing into the Undead Hill had increased. They inadvertently carried out spores of the Screaming Mushrooms, resulting in a part of the fields on the outskirts of Gusu City being overrun by these mushrooms.
The reproduction rate of the Screaming Mushrooms was extremely fast. In a short amount of time, they surpassed the traditional four pests, causing much trouble for the farmers.
Therefore, several neighboring viges released a joint task asking Beast Masters for assistance in handling the situation.
This is it!
After reading the task information, Bai Qi immediately epted it without any hesitation.
While the screams of the Screaming Mushrooms were troublesome for most beasts, to undead creatures like Alpha, they were basically useless. Moreover, the task was not located in the Undead Hill, making the mission much simpler.
Bai Qi put away the task board, ran to the female receptionist to register his information, and then waited by the side for others.
Although there was no threat from an undead beast master, the menace of a horde of Screaming Mushrooms was still considerable. Thus, Bai Qi couldnt handle the task alone and needed to wait for others to form a team.
Shortly afterward, four more individuals epted the task. Bai Qi also received a notification to gather outside the Beast Master Association.
The four were around the same age as Bai Qi, and they seemed to know each other. They were in the middle of an enthusiastic conversation when Bai Qi arrived.
Seeing Bai Qi approaching, a tall youth with a cheerful smile on his face came up and said, Hi, my name is Gao Cheng. Are you also a Beast Master whos epted the Screaming Mushroom task?
Hello, everyone.
Bai Qi nodded, greeting the group. The other two also replied in kind.
Lets introduce ourselves first.
Gao Cheng indicated himself first, Gao Cheng, apprentice Beast Master, Level One First Stage Fire Armor Scorpion, proficient in Fiery Pincers Strike and Scorpion Tail Sting.
Han Jian, apprentice Beast Master, Level Zero Stage Five Ice Crystal Toad, proficient in Ice Crystal Shot.
Wei Ze, apprentice Beast Master, Level Zero Stage Five Emerald Centipede, proficient in Venomous Wrap.
Wu Lan, apprentice Beast Master, Level Zero Stage Five Carbon-tailed Snake, proficient in Fire Star Tail Swing.
Has the influence of the Five Poisons Cult spread to the Other Realm as well? He seems to not fit in very well
Bai Qi couldnt help but think to himself. He then introduced himself, Bai Qi, apprentice Beast Master, Zero Stage, Sixth Level Shadow Bone Spike, proficient in Bone-breaking Reformation.
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, the group fell silent.
Your beast doesnt have any attack skills?
Gao Cheng looked at Bai Qi somewhat speechlessly, unsure of how to advise him. Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly, Well, there is one, but its at a very low level, so I didnt mention it.
You cant go on like this. Its tough to pass the professional Beast Master exam unless your beast has a couple of impressive attack skills.
Gao Cheng earnestly offered Bai Qi some advice. Looking at the sky, he said, The client has already prepared protective tools for us. Unless anyone has any objections, we should get going.
The group exchanged nces, and since no objections were raised, they got into a car led by Gao Cheng, heading for the outskirts of Gusu City.
Gao Cheng was quite enthusiastic, providing advice for the mission throughout the journey. He didnt exclude Bai Qi just because his beast had no attacking skills. The group of five quickly got acquainted.
Bai Qi, observing the seasoned Gao Cheng, asked, Brother Gao, your beast is already at the First Stage, why havent you taken the professional Beast Master exam?
Hearing Bai Qis question, the other three showed curiosity too.
To be a professional Beast Master, the primary prerequisite was for their beast to reach the First Stage. Otherwise, they would not be eligible for the assessment.
Gao Cheng sighed, Ive already taken the exam three times but failed each time.
Is the professional Beast Master exam that difficult?
Bai Qi was slightly worried. He had nned to go to the Undead Hill outside the city after bing a professional Beast Master. It now seemed like it would be a difficult task.
Gao Cheng solemnly nodded, The professional Beast Master exam tests not only your ability to handle beasts but also your wilderness survival skills. Its not as simple as battling.
Wilderness survival skills?
Bai Qi had heard about it, but he had always thought the exam would only theoretically test these skills. Now, it seemed he had oversimplified it.
Seeing the others grow a bit disheartened by his words, Gao Cheng quickly tried to lift their spirits, But you can still give it a try. Although it tests wilderness survival skills, its not very hazardous, and it would be good to familiarize yourselves with it.
Wei Ze looked at Gao Cheng and asked, So, Brother Gao, will you be participating in the next exam?
Gao Cheng nodded, Of course, Ive spent a lot of time preparing for it. I dont think there should be any problems.
Well, we probably wont. It seems like we dont have enough time.
The Beast Master Profession upgrade exams generally urred once every three months, and the next exam was in half a month. They certainly wouldnt have enough time to prepare.
By the way, Bai Qi, judging by your outfit, you must also be a student at Star Mechanics Academy. Why havent you contracted a mechanical beast?
Bai Qi shrugged, Im a mecha martial arts student. I only contracted my beast recently and didnt have time for other things because of some special reasons.
You only contracted your beast a few days ago and are already at level six? And you are from a nonbat major? What were they doing all this while..?
The fourbat-major students looked at each other in silence

After more than an hour, the group finally reached their destination.
The staff waiting there showed great enthusiasm upon their arrival.
The workers seemed overly loud, as if they were afraid the group might not hear them. Bai Qi even wondered if they were under the influence of the Screaming Mushroom.
For this reason, the group didnt linger with the workers, under their guidance, they headed straight for the mission area.
However, when they saw the vast mushroom farm before them, all were silent for a long moment.
Searching for a Screaming Mushroom in this mushroom farm, this task could take forever.
The Screaming Mushroom naturally hid itself in the soil, and now it has the cover of so many mushrooms, this was beyond a question of difficulty.
No wonder this kind of task was given to novice Beast Masters, he doubted if any professional Beast Masters would want to do it.
Lets summon our beasts first.
Gao Cheng, clearly more experienced, was the first to suggest. Bai Qi and others agreed and began to summon their animalpanions.
A snake, a scorpion, a toad, and a millipede appeared in front of Gao Chengs group, which made Bai Qis Little Skeleton seem out of ce.
Disorderly formation~
Just as Alpha appeared, the only girl in the team, Wu Lan, immediately took notice of the metallic luster on the skeleton of the Little Skeleton. She asked, Senior, where did you get this Shadow Bone Spike? Its so beautiful!
Uh I bought it from Elf House in Gusu City.
Bai Qi was dumbfounded, suddenly feeling like he had a tough time understanding the aesthetics of modern youth.
Although Alpha now had a high tech style, it was still a skeleton. There was no way to link it with the word beautiful.
Tsk~ No wonder the Beast Master Association had to issue a special notice reminding people not to blindly chase stars, Bai Qi had underestimated the psychological endurance of the star-chasing group.
Elf House? I see.
Wu Lans eyes sparkled, the other two boys also showed a hint of intent, it seems that they had some ns.
This was a free advertisement for Zhuge Chens business, it seems like Bai Qi had to ask him for advertising feester.
Alright, lets start looking for Screaming Mushrooms. Everybody, put on your protection gear.
Gao Cheng interrupted their conversation, distributed the specially made earmuffs to everyone, and said, Screaming Mushrooms prefer cold environments. My Fire Armor Scorpion will draw them out, and you guys can catch them while the iron is hot.
Bai Qi and the others nodded in agreement with Gao Chengs strategy, all controlling their animalpanions to follow the Fire Armor Scorpion.
As expected, just as the Fire Armor Scorpion took a few steps, a Screaming Mushroom, all grey, shot out of the ground and emitted a sharp screech.
Hiss~
At the same time, Bai Qi and the others quickly covered their ears, but they still felt a buzzing in their ears and involuntarily took a few steps back.
It was this noisy even with earmuffs on, no wonder those workers spoke so loudly. It must have been the Screaming Mushrooms that caused it.
Fortunately, the Screaming Mushrooms ability didntst long, after finishing its scream, it fell back to the ground and tried to burrow away.
Fire Armor Scorpion, use your tail spike!
Gao Cheng, clearly more experienced in battle, saw the Screaming Mushroom trying to flee and immediatelymanded the Fire Armor Scorpion to attack. A slender tail spike instantly skewered the Screaming Mushroom.
As long as the Screaming Mushroom doesnt return to the ground, it cant use its screeching ability for a short while, so everyone has to act quickly.
Gao Cheng took the Screaming Mushroom off the tail spike of the Fire Armor Scorpion and tossed it into the container provided by the workers. Bai Qi and the others got the idea, and started doing it themselves.
Apart from Gao Cheng, the rest had controlling abilities, so they were able to catch the Screaming Mushrooms before they hit the ground. Bai Qi observed for awhile before he started taking action.
Alpha, can you pierce them the moment the Screaming Mushrooms jump out?
Bai Qi passed his intentions to Alpha through telepathy. Alpha somewhat understood and looked at the five venomous pets who were experimenting with catching the Screaming Mushrooms on their own. Two bone daggers appeared in its hands in an instant, it then started to run quickly across the mushroom ground.
Hey, dont do that!
Seeing Alpha running like that, Gao Cheng instantly became worried.
There were obviously quite a lot of Screaming Mushrooms here. Based on Alphas mode of running, it would definitely attract arge number of Screaming Mushrooms at once.
If it allowed arge number of Screaming Mushrooms to screech at the same time, the earmuffs they were wearing now would definitely not be able to block the noise, and it might even cause substantial injuries.
Nonbat majors were so unreliable!
Just as Gao Cheng was about to send the Fire Armor Scorpion to remedy the situation, the ground where Alpha ran past shot up three or four Screaming Mushrooms. Their gradually opening mouths were preparing a powerful sound wave.
Pchit! Pchit! Pchit!
Just as everyone instinctively covered their ears, Alpha swung its daggers swiftly, piercing the Screaming Mushrooms before they could release their ability.
Even if the timing of a Screaming Mushroom emerging was off, Alpha could quickly turn its body tond a strike.
As Alpha ran, not a single Screaming Mushroom was able to release its ability.
Is that possible?
Alphas surprising performance stunned Wu Lan and the others. Gao Cheng then exined, Theoretically, the ability of a pet beast can indeed be interrupted before its released, but
This is a Skeleton Beastmaster!
If it were the Ghost Department, that would be understandable, but which Skeleton Beastmaster can run so fast?!
This is not scientific!
Gao Cheng found it increasingly difficult to maintain his cool as a senior. He looked at Bai Qi and Alpha with a more peculiar gaze.
Shadow Bone Spike, a branch of the Undead Department Skeleton Type, Gao Cheng had heard of it, but to his knowledge, this creatures speed, while not slow, was never this exaggerated.
Furthermore, this skinny little skeleton was not only superhumanly fast, but its movements were also weirdly elusive,pletely defying the motion limits of normal creatures.
Instead of Alpha being an undead creature, he was more willing to believe it was a mechanical beast that happened to look like a skeleton.
This guy was fundamentally a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department, maybe it was intentionally shaped into a skeleton.
Yes, it must be the case!
The four didntmunicate at all, yet they all bizarrely came to the same idea, their gazes at Bai Qi were now mixed with different emotions.
As rumored, Mechanical Beastmasters are way moreplicated than traditional Beastmasters.
Just like Bai Qi right now, clearly ying dumb to catch a big fish.
Tsk They would have to be more careful around Mechanical Beastmasters in the future, otherwise they might be sold without realizing.

Soon, Alpha returned to Bai Qis side, his soul-fire flickering with a handful of Screaming Mushrooms. Bai Qi patted him on the head approvingly.
Good job.
Chitter-chatter.
Pleased by Bai Qis praise, Alpha hopped and skipped with joy
Bai Qi, is your pet truly an Undead Departments Ghost Bone Spur?
Gao Cheng approached Bai Qi, cast a doubtful nce at the metallic sheen on Alpha, and asked, Those moves they arent something a skeleton beast trainer could make, are they?
And the color of the skeleton
Bai Qi nodded, saying, Indeed, Alpha is a Ghost Bone Spur. Yet, before his evolution, he went through a mutation which exins his speed.
Before his evolution? Mutation?
Gao Cheng seized on Bai Qis point, saying, So when you made the pact, he was just a skeleton soldier? And now hes evolved?
Well I was just lucky, very lucky.
Realizing his slip, Bai Qi hurriedly added: As for the color, I painted it myself, because the original appearance was somewhat frightening.
It wasnt that Bai Qi intentionally wanted to deceive anyone; it was simply that the power of the Evolution Egg was somewhat special, and it was better to avoidplications.
Bai Qis exnation didnt convince anyone, however, not knowing a better exnation, they left it at that.
Forget it, lets justplete the task first. The reward for this task is calcted per mushroom. Wed better not waste time.
Gao Cheng looked at the vast mushroom field and said, Judging by the situation, the density of the Screaming Mushrooms here isnt small.
The others nodded, unconsciously eying the Screaming Mushroom in front of Bai Qi, with a flicker of envy in their eyes.
Apart from the basic remuneration for the task, they could also sell the Screaming Mushrooms to the workers here, each worth 50 Federal Coins.
In other words, with Alphas efficiency, as long as he collected more, they could make back the money for a training ground visit.
However, while Bai Qi was pleased, the others didnt have it so easy.
Well, lets go and clean up the other side, Bai Qi will be enough for this ce.
The only girl of the trio, Wu Lan suggested first, and her two partners nodded in agreement.
If they stayed with Bai Qi, they had reason to believe that they wouldplete this task empty-handed.
Thats fine, well regroup here in three hours.
Seeing this, Gao Cheng also went with the flow. After all, they would finish faster if they worked separately in such arge farm.
Once the five agreed on the time, they went their separate ways.
Alpha, let us set a small goal: catch 50 before noon.
Bai Qi said to Alpha beside him.
Whether or not you can evolve quickly depends on your performance!
Chitter-chatter.
(Evolution, Evolution!)
Alpha nodded his understanding. Recalling his rapid improvement in the ck Iron Egg, he shot off like a bullet.
The Screaming Mushroom task was even simpler than hed thought. He just didnt know how long this task couldst; otherwise, Bai Qi was confident about reaching a small target first.
Time flew, and three hours passed quickly.
The density of Screaming Mushrooms was far greater than Bai Qis estimation, and Alpha had gathered 68 of them.
If it wasnt for their worry about damaging the original mushroom field, Alphas efficiency might have been higher.
After all, the major advantage of the Undead n was that they didnt need to rest.
Soon, the other four persons also returned. Gao Cheng was in a somewhat better state, but the other three were clearly exhausted.
Alphas method of clearing the Screaming Mushrooms had given them some new insights. They also nned to neutralize the Screaming Mushrooms before they could apply their skill.
However, what was expected didnt go as nned. The idea was good, but there were inevitable mistakes during implementation, and after three hours, the three people were left spinning from the Screaming Mushrooms.
Bai Qi, are you still gathering?
Seeing Alpha still racing around the field, Wu Lan and the others couldnt help but be surprised.
Well, Alpha is an Undead, he doesnt need to rest.
Bai Qi nodded, looking at the exhausted group of three, and asked, So, you are done?
Wu Lan and the others smiled awkwardly, and Gao Cheng also found it somewhat embarrassing, saying, Its been three hours, even if the beast isnt tired, the person should be.
Bai Qi understood and absent-mindedly responded, having just remembered that he had only eaten apressed food pellet that morning and was not hungry just yet.
Gao Cheng nced at the box at Bai Qis feet and curiously asked: How many have you gathered?
Its just okay, just 68.
Bai Qi yawned, The density of Screaming Mushrooms is lower than I thought. By the way, how did you fare?
Well, we barely managed toplete the task.
Wu Lan and her teammates looked at each other, not wanting to discuss this further.
Okay, lets eat first. I saw the workers preparing lunchit should be ready soon.
Gao Cheng diffused the tension, and the focus then shifted to food without anyone noticing him kicking a box into the background.
Gao Chengs Fire Armor Scorpion was also quick in attacking, and its efficiency had increased considerably after adopting Alphas strategy, gathering 22 Screaming Mushrooms in three hours.
He didnt expect Bai Qi and Alpha to be even more incredible, reaching a count of 68. This made him, a veteran who had participated in three Beast Master exams, quite ufortable.
Soon, the workers brought lunch boxes for the group and began to collect the Screaming Mushrooms. Bai Qi and the others each received a lunch box and started to eat heartily.
After working all morning, they had expended a lot of energy and naturally needed to refill their energy, especially since they would be working for longer hours in the afternoon.
During lunch, the group started chatting again.
Bai Qi, since youre a student of Mechanical Engineering Department, why did you choose a pet from the Undead Department?
Wu Lan had had this question for a long time and asked it straightaway when she had the chance.
My talent awakenedte, and coincidentally, I came across Alpha, a mutant species, so I just made a pact with him.
After swiftly finishing a lunch box, Bai Qi still felt unsatisfied and asked a worker for another portion.
He didnt know if it was because he had eatenpressed food pellets for two days, but he found his appetite had significantly increased, and he still did not feel full after eating two portions.
I see.
Wu Lan nodded, scrutinizing Alpha, who was obediently standing behind Bai Qi. Soon, she noticed something unusual about Alphas joints.
Huh? Those dont look like normal joints, do they?
Wu Lans words attracted the attention of the others who came over to take a closer look, their curiosity piqued.
You mean these? Yes, youre right. Alpha was too fast, and his joints were too fragile, so I reced them with mechanical ones.
Everyone was silent after hearing Bai Qis exnation.
No wonder Alpha could make such strange movementsthe joints had been modified!
A Mechanical Engineering Department student installing mechanical joints on his undead pet.
Well, that makes sense.

Understanding the origin of Alphas unusual movements, not only did Wu Lan and hispanions interest not decrease, but it grew even more thrilling. After receiving Bai Qis approval, they immediately got their hands on it.
Bai Qi, is it really feasible to perform mechanical modifications on non-mechanical beasts?
Although Gao Cheng wasnt a student of the Star Mechanics Academy, he knew the differences between mechanical beasts and traditional ones. Seeing Bai Qi altering his own skeleton, he was somewhat surprised.
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied, I cant say for sure. After all, I only made some pure mechanical modifications and didnt involve the energy system.
I see.
Gao Cheng seemed thoughtful, looked at his Fire Armor Scorpion, and had some other thoughts.
Bai Qi, can you check if my Fire Armor Scorpion can also be modified?
He had already failed the Beast Master professional examination three times. Recently, his pets strength had also reached a bottleneck. Now seeing Alpha as a living example, he naturally didnt want to miss out.
Uh, probably not.
Seeing Gao Chengs hopeful eyes, Bai Qi couldnt help feeling a bit of a headache.
The reason he could modify Alpha was that skeletal category beasts, especially low-level skeletons like Alpha, have bones that can be freely disassembled and reassembled, so the difficulty isnt high.
But modifying a beast with dual attributions like the insect system and the fire attribute, like the Fire Armor Scorpion, would be much more troublesome.
At least, Bai Qi didnt think that ordinary steel could withstand the high temperatures of the Fire Armor Scorpion.
Gao Chengs face fell, but he quickly recovered, remarking, True, if it were possible, others would have done it long ago.
However, your methods are still impressive, Bai Qi. You actually thought of mechanically modifying undead beasts.
Wu Lan seemed to have be a little fan of Bai Qis, not being stingy with her praises. But she soon revealed her true intentions.
If my second beast is also a contracted skeleton type, could you help me modify it too?
Before Bai Qi could respond, Gao Cheng interrupted, My personal suggestion, itll better if you dont cross-train systems. After all, ones energy is limited. Dividing your attention too much isnt beneficial.
Gao Chengs words werent unfounded. Most Beast Masters in the Federation specialized in training a single race. The asional exceptions were usually auxiliary pets.
For example, the recently trending Titled Legendary Celestial Brilliance specialized in Undead Department Pets, with every pet chosen after careful consideration.
After all, a Beast Masters energy and resources are limited. Its impossible to cater to every pet. Basically, they focus on training one or two main pets.
Choosing a pet that has nothing to do with ones main pet simply because of idol worship, like Wu Lan did, is quite irrational.
After Gao Chengs earnest lecture, Wu Lan and the others fell into contemtion.
Seeing their thoughtful expressions, Bai Qi didnt know how to join the conversation and could only bury his head and eat. Before long, he had finished his third boxed meal.
Phew, Im finally full.
Bai Qi rubbed his belly, looked at the high-hanging sun overhead, and took a sip of the mineral water by his side.
This damn weather, even the water was heated.
The water had been provided by the staff. It had only been left outside for a while, yet it had already been heated by the sun.
Senior, do you feel hot? Do you want my Ice Crystal Toad to help?
Hearing Bai Qisint, Han Jian immediately summoned his Ice Crystal Toad. The surrounding temperature immediately dropped, and without any hesitation, Bai Qi put his bottle of mineral water on the Ice Crystal Toad.
Huh?
As soon as Bai Qis hand touched the Ice Crystal Toad, he couldnt help but exim. Han Jian was somewhat puzzled, asking, Whats wrong, Senior? Did you get frostbite?
Bai Qi shook his head, replying, No, its just that your Ice Crystal Toad is really convenient. Ites with built-in air conditioning.
Han Jian grinned, saying, This Ice Crystal Toad is a high-level Elite caught for me by my parents friends from the Ice Lake.
Cut it out. Its not like everyone elses pet isnt an Elite.
Han Jians opponent lifted his spirits at the end of his words, causing Wei Ze to immediately retort. Wu Lan, who was next to him, quickly put down her box of rice to mediate.
Given her proficient skills in this, she likely had plenty of experience in dealing with these situations.
However, Bai Qi didnt have the energy to deal with these matters.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron 5%)
[Condition]: Activated
Ever since its activation, the progress of the Evolution Egg hadnt changed. Bai Qi nned to go to Undead Hill to check if it was rted to Undead Department Beasts. But now, it had changed again.
What exactly was the reason?
After ncing at the Ice Crystal Toad, Bai Qi pretended to retrieve his mineral water and touched the toad again.
There was no change in progress, but Bai Qi didnt give up. He moved his target to other pets.
Brother Gao, can I see your Fire Armor Scorpion?
Gao Cheng looked puzzled when he heard this, but he released his Fire Armor Scorpion in front of Bai Qi.
What, is there a problem?
Bai Qi responded, Nothing, I just felt a little frozen earlier. I want to warm up with the Fire Armor Scorpion.
Gao Cheng fell silent when he heard this, but he didnt stop Bai Qis action.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron 10%)
[Condition]: Activated
Indeed, it increased by five percent!
Bai Qis eyes shone as he roughly guessed the way to upgrade the Evolution Egg, which was to physically touch the beasts.
However, he had been petting cats and dogs at Zhuge Chens ce after activating the Golden Finger, and there were no hints about the progress of the Evolution Egg?
Looking at it this way, it seems that not any pet will do.
Bai Qi turned his attention to the other two, casually making an excuse to touch their beasts.
Wu Lans Charcoal Fire Snake didnt provide progress to the Evolution Egg, only Wei Zes Emerald Centipede provided a three percent progress.
Indeed, in order to evolve, you must pet beasts!
The higher the level of the species, the more progress it offers?
Also, it seems to be linked to the attributes of the species?
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, he had a rough guess in his mind. But he soon began to have a headache.
In order to increase the progress of the Evolution Egg, he must touch the beasts personally. The easiest way is to touch the beasts that have already been contracted.
But if he were to do so, he estimated that he would be locked up in the Arkham Talent Academy tomorrow.
As for wild beasts, it was even more impossible. Lower-level ones probably werent useful, and higher-level ones werent stupid. Going up rashly would only stir up hostility.
It seems a little troublesome~
Bai Qi, watching the cracks appearing again on the Evolution Egg, sighed helplessly.
If only there was a simpler way to evolve

Though it was a bit difficult, Bai Qi was truly satisfied that hed discovered a way to improve the Evolution Eggs upgrade path.
Alpha, lets keep going.
Bai Qi drained the icy water in his hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhration.
He had cleared out 68 Screaming Mushrooms in the morning, and along with the 1000 Federation coins guaranteed by the task, he had already earned 4400 Federation coins.
ording to the current trend, earning three to four thousand more in the afternoon wouldnt be a problem. By then, his financial woes would be temporarily resolved.
Thinking about finally escaping the torment ofpressed food pills, Bai Qi couldnt help but have sparks in his eyes. He chose a new direction and started harvesting on arge scale.
Dont they ever get tired?
Seeing the equally excited Bai Qi and Alpha, Wei Ze and the other two nced at each other, wondering what to make of their own pet beasts who were toozy to move due to energy exhaustion.
Its normal, Undead Department Pets stamina is endless if they dont use skills.
Gao Cheng struggled to provide an exnation, but no one knew whether he believed it himself.
He had heard of undead creatures possessing unlimited stamina, but he had never heard of Undead Department Beastmasters possessing the same trait.
Bai Qi naturally did not know what they were thinking. He took Alpha to search for the Screaming Mushrooms everywhere, while the others also lost the mood to rest and started working with their clearly somewhat reluctant pet beasts.
By evening, Bai Qi and Alpha returned, fully loaded, and had already begun nning how to use this ie.
As for Gao Cheng and the others, they were all, without exception, somewhat wiped out.
Their pet beasts did not have Alphas supermodel speed, so they could only rely on skills to clear the Screaming Mushrooms.
As time went on, the recovery of energy value became a problem, and mistakes became more frequent.
It was almost certain that they would not take this task again tomorrow.
Gao Cheng looked at the sky and handed over the storage box in his hand to the staff, saying, Its gettingte; we should go back too. Everyone still has to go to ss tomorrow.
Other than him and Bai Qi, the other three were high school students. Although they werebat professionals, they still needed to study humanities courses.
After all, one could not train a Beast Master without a goodmand of knowledge.
They had no objection to Gao Chengs opinion. After settling the task rewards, they set off on their return journey together.
Not long after, the three of them, Wu Lan were deep in sleep, with only Bai Qi still eager to deal with the first pot of gold he had earned.
He had earned a total of 8100 Federation coins today, far exceeding his estimate, enough for him to buy a lot of nutrient solutions and go to the training ground several more times.
However, in this way, there would not be enough funds to equip mechanical armament.
Forget it, first improve Alphas level, and wait until he gets the professional Beast Control license to solve the problem of funds.
Gao Cheng nced at Bai Qi and suddenly asked, Bai Qi, you are also nning to take the professional Beast Master exam, right?
In this era, there are many professions rted to Beast Control, such as the traditional Beast Breeding Master, who is responsible for breeding, the Alchemist who makes potions with pet beast materials, or the emerging Mechanical Beast Master.
All these professions were born around pet beasts, but they all have one thing inmon. They are auxiliary professions.
Since Bai Qi was a mechanical beast student, it was expected that he would be a Mechanical Beast Master, but after a day of contact, Gao Cheng firmly believed that Bai Qi would definitely participate in the professional Beast Master assessment.
After all, he had never seen any Mechanical Beast Master who would modify a non-mechanical pet beast.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded and said, Yes, I will strive to get the license this year. It will give me more options for taking tasks.
Whether it is the Evolution Egg or the Mechanical Armament, both require a lot of financial support. Relying on F-grade tasks alone is not enough.
Huh, isnt your pet beast only at the Zero Stage Sixth level?
Gao Cheng was full of question marks, It should be somewhat difficult to improve to the First Stage, right?
Although the rise of Pet Beast Growth Level is not as difficult as the Race level, it bes more difficult as it gets higher, especially the promotion of the major stages, which is even more difficult.
It is a bit difficult. Otherwise, I nned to participate in the assessment in June directly. Now, I can only team up with you, Brother Gao, next time.
The professional Beast Master assessment is conducted every three months, and now it is currently mid-May, so the assessment in June is just over twenty days away.
Although there was the Evolution Eggs cheat, Bai Qi did not think he could get Alpha upgraded to the First Stage in just twenty-something days.
Seeing Bai Qis confident look, Gao Cheng was once again at a loss for words.
Are all top students this confident nowadays?
It took him more than two years to train his Fire Armor Scorpion to the First Stage, and Bai Qi ns to upgrade by six levels in half a year?
Also, what do you mean, team up with me next time?
Is it really polite to say that?
The corner of Gao Chengs mouth twitched slightly, but he still advised, I still suggest that you train your primary attack skills a bit more. After all, the professional Beast Master assessment looks at abilities in all aspects.
Bai Qi nodded and said, Alright, I will focus on training after I return.
Alpha had just gained an attack skill, Shadow Lotus Skill, yesterday and hadnt had time to train it, but Gao Chengs words also served as a reminder to Bai Qi.
Despite Alphas high speed, he might encounter opponents with control skills. At that time, relying solely on the Shadow Lotus Skill seemed somewhat insufficient.
After they returned to Gusu City, they all went their separate ways. Bai Qi, however, visited themercial street once again before returning home.
Looking at his recently replenished bnce shrinking again, Bai Qi felt a pang of pain. Only after seeing the box of nutrient solutions did he feel a little better.
With the support of the nutrient solutions, the side effects of the Evolution Egg should be reduced a lot.
But he would try it first anyway.
Bai Qi summoned Alpha, opened a bottle of nutrient solution, and then wrapped Alpha in the Evolution Egg again.
A feeling of weakness came over him once again, and Bai Qi immediately finished the nutrient solution.
Sour and sweet, it tasted a little like fruit juice.
Bai Qi smacked his lips, then felt a gentle energy instantly flowing throughout his body,pletely dispelling the weakness, and even feeling a lot better than before.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for. What the heck is apressed food pill? Straight to the cklist!
Bai Qi looked at the nutrient solution in his hand with satisfaction. In this way, he could boldly use the Evolution Egg.
He just hoped that this nutrient solution would not develop a resistance, lost its effectiveness after drinking too much.
Never mind, once he became a professional Beast Master, he could change to a new one.
He couldnt stop taking the nutrient solution~

The next day.
Bai Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes, gazing at the sun that was already rising to its zenith, and then reluctantly got up from the bed.
Although he had the support of the nutrient solution, Bai Qis physical recovery speed was able to keep up with the demand of the Evolution Egg, but after repeated use, he was still a bit tired, so Bai Qi simply moved it all into the bedroom for his convenience.
Evolving, taking in supplements, designing blueprints, and then evolving again, taking in more supplements
He spent the previous night in this cycle until he finally went to sleep in the early morning.
I should go out to find something to eat, and then head to the training site.
After consuming six to seven bottles of nutrient solution overnight, Bai Qi wasnt really hungry, but having an empty stomach felt strange. So he decided to have something quickly and head straight to the Beast Master Association.
He had evolved Alpha six times the previous night and there was still plenty of umted energy that hadnt been fully absorbed, so Bai Qi decided to find another trainer to help.
Why not do it himself? You may ask.
Bai Qi indeed tried, but after his hands went numb due to Alphas steel skeleton, he directly gave up.
Who wouldve thought that an actively used skill like Skeletal Hardening would turn into a passive skill after upgrading to Steel Skeleton?
Although it hadnt reached the strength of steel, it wasnt something Bai Qis small body could handle.
Bai Qi arrived at the Beast Master Association, and this time he was received by another receptionist.
Im sorry, the training field of the Undead Department is fully booked for today.
Cant I join in anywhere?
Theres no ce avable.
Apologizing somewhat reluctantly, the receptionist added, If you want to train your pet beast, I rmend you try thebat arena; the effect isnt bad either.
Combat arena?
Bai Qi hesitated for a while, and asked, The opponents in thebat arena are all of the same level, right?
The receptionist nodded and reassured him: You can rest assured. The opponents level will not exceed one level difference. There wont be a situation where your opponentpletely trumps you.
Ah, but what I want is to bepletely trounced.
He mostly came here to use Bone-breaking Reformationbined with the ck Iron Egg to quickly enhance Alphas physical strength. If hes paired with simr level opponents, the efficiency would decrease a lot.
However, it seems that there arent any other options avable at the moment, and realbat is indeed the main focus of professional Beast Masters.
Then could you arrange a match for me?
The receptionist smiled slightly and asked, Do you have any specific opponents in mind? If not, we can randomly match you up.
Randomly will be fine.
Great, please pay the fee first, and then wait for your number.
Another charge Thankfully, its slighter cheaper than training.
Bai Qi paid the fee somewhat reluctantly, took the number te, and went to the adjacentbat zone to wait.
Aside from the dojo, the Beast Masters Association is the only ce that offers the battlefield, so there are quite a few people here.
Although this official venue doesnt allow any form of gambling, watching others battles is also a means of umtingbat experience, so the majority here are apprentice Beast Masters.
The efficiency of the association is quite high. About ten minutester, Bai Qi heard his number called and promptly followed the systems directions to thebat arena.
When Bai Qi arrived at thebat arena, the referee was already waiting inside.
The referee, who had just dispatched a group of contestants, was checking the information of the next group. Seeing Bai Qi appear, he said, Hello, your opponent hasnt arrived yet. Please wait a little.
Alright.
Bai Qi nodded his head and proceeded to his position under the referees guidance.
Thisbat zone is broadcasted in real-time to the public, so the cameras installed everywhere will present every move of the beast and its master to the audience outside in high definition.
Soon, Bai Qis opponent arriveda burly man with a full beard.
Bai Qi examined his opponent and looked at the referee with some confusion.
Wasnt it said that the level difference shouldnt be more than one level? Are you sure this guys pet hasnt reached the First Stage yet?
The referee cleared his throat and asked, You two are Bai Qi and Shi Yong, right?
Bai Qi nodded his head and extended his hand towards the burly man, stating, Hello, Im Bai Qi.
The burly man took Bai Qis hand in his own, giving it a firm shake, and replied, Hello, my names Shi Yong, Im eighteen years old, I like
What a mature-looking eighteen-year-old!
Bai Qi sarcastically thought to himself, forcibly pulling his hand back and looking at the vivid fingerprints on it. He looked at Shi Yong with more suspicion.
This guy, hes underreported his age by ten years, hasnt he?
And those overly developed muscles does this guy train with his pet beast?
Thisbat match will be free fighting. It will end when either beast loses theirbat abilities. The time limit is half an hour.
The referee discreetly coughed twice, signaled for both of them to return to their positions, and started to exin the rules ofbat.
Ahem, if there are no problems, we will be ready to start.
Normally speaking, battles between apprentice Beast Masters generally end very quickly. After all, none is particrly proficient in conserving their energy value and most times, one side would admit defeat after running out of energy.
Both of them nodded their heads and activated their Beast Control Spaces. Two transparent arrays slowly began to take shape in the middle of the field.
The speed at which a Beast Master can summon a beast is directly proportional to the Beast Masters spirit power. In their case, its alright to do a slow summon, but if this were to happen on the wild battlefield, your opponent wouldnt be willing to wait for your slow summons.
Even in the past, before the establishment of the Federation, assassinations of Beast Masters using sniper rifles were reported. It wasnt until the Federation was established that the correspondingws were introduced to prevent non-military Beast Masters from using such long-range weapons.
Finally, the summoning formations took shape, and a humanoid beast with the head of a frog and two pairs of arms, almost two meters tall, crawled out from Shi Yongs formation.
Like his owner, this beast was full of muscles. Just by sight, you could tell that it was quite powerful.
[Name]: Braced Frog
[Race]: Combat System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: st Punch, Powerful Grapple, Double Kick
As soon as the Braced Frog entered the fray, the spectators who originally still had excitement in them instantly lost interest, waiting for the next match to begin.
After the appearance of the Braced Frog, Alpha also crawled out from the formation. Its petite figure, which was originally only half a human height, was made to seem even smallerpared to the Braced Frog.
They had every reason to believe that the Braced Frog would end the match in an instant.
Looking at that delicate skeleton, they wondered if it would break just from the Braced Frogs pinch.

Trantor: 549690339
Unlike others, Bai Qis eyes lit up when he saw Shi Yong summon the Braced Frog.
He had just been fretting about not having a training ground, and here was a ready-made toil sent to his doorstep.
Only half an hour though, which was a bit annoying.
Any issues? If not, lets start thepetition.
The referee asked for both their inputs and once confirmed there were no issues, he announced the start of the match.
As soon as it started, Shi Yong undid his cloak, assuming the poise of a muscr man, showing off his robust muscles unreservedly to everyone present.
Kid, youre too weak, you cant survive in the wild with such a physique. Join our Haoli Dojo now, I guarantee you and your pet beast can possess sturdy muscles!
Braced Frog, demonstrate your power!
Crackle Crackle.
(Master, what are they up to?)
Watching the strange duo in front of him, Alpha whose wisdom had just awakened two days ago felt somewhat confused.
Never mind, just protect your headter on, anything else, feel free to kick.
Building strong muscles on a skeletal Alpha, perhaps this guys brain was flooded with muscles.
Crackle Crackle.
Yes, master.
Upon receiving Bai Qismand, Alpha decided to give up resisting. He simply stood still at his spot. The sight of Alphas actions drew sighs from the audience.
This guy, he actually has such a low-level undead creature as his contractor, another foolish kid brainwashed by the star effect.
Exactly. Didnt you notice that he painted his skeleton? Thats the trend.
I mean, he meets a fighter, isnt this a masochistmitment?
Tsk tsk The young these days, they are impulsive.
True Big brother, how old are you this year?
28.
The two fighters, engaged in a duel, were not aware of the surrounding discussions. Shi Yong, after posing and seeing that Bai Qi was not making the first move, decided not to drag this out any longer andmanded the Braced Frog.
Braced Frog, use st Punch!
Croak!
The Braced Frog uttered a low croak, its equally muscr legs stomped heavily, immediately reaching Alpha. Its four massive fists hit Alpha simultaneously, breaking Alphas slender body as if it was struck by a bomb, leaving only the skull intact.
The weak spot of the skeleton beastmaster is typically the head, which houses the Fire of Soul. As it was an ordinary fight, Shi Yong seemed careful not to go overboard.
However, this opponent was too weak to disy the strength of their Haoli Dojo!
Equally disappointed was the Brawny Frog. Looking at the opponent who couldnt even withstand one blow, the Braced Frog decisively turned to leave.
Referee, announce the results.
Shi Yong walked towards the referee, intending to change opponents, but the referee rejected his request.
Im sorry, the match isnt over yet. Return to your positions please.
Shi Yong, confused at hearing this, followed the referees gaze towards Alpha.
Alpha, who was originally shattered, had somehow regenerated and was just standing there, as if nothing had happened.
This guy, he recovers so quick!
It was well-known that the Undead Department Beasts could regenerate from broken bones, but they usually did not recover so rapidly. He had never seen any recover as fast as Alpha.
Great, this will highlight the strength of our Haoli Dojo!
Alphas resilience clearly exceeded Shi Yongs expectations, but it also conveniently suited his intentions, so heunched another attack with the Braced Frog.
This time, Braced Frog used a Double Kick,pletely shattering Alpha with consecutive powerful kicks until there was hardly a piece of whole skeleton left.
But Alpha quickly recovered, and Shi Yong didnt intend to stop the Braced Frog. The fiercely attacking arms never ceased, and Alpha repeatedly went through the process of being shattered and reassembled.
Half an hourter.
Cough, cough. I dere that this match ends in a tie.
The referee looked sympathetically at the panting Braced Frog and the still clueless Alpha before announcing the result of the match.
With his discerning eye, it was clear to him that Shi Yongs Braced Frog was extremely well-trained, possessing impressive skills and base attributes.
Its just unfortunate for the Braced Frog to encounter such an opponent with an abnormal rate of recovery.
Thats it?
Bai Qi looked at Alpha, whose skeleton had clearly be much sturdier, smacked his lips feeling a bit unsatisfied.
He had finally found a freebor source, and it ended so quickly. The Beast Master Associations battle time was absolutely unreasonable.
They should have fought for a few hours.
Seeing Bai Qis status, Shi Yong felt something was off instinctively. But he couldnt worry about it at the moment and shouted, I request an overtime match! Add another hour!
Theres overtime?
Bai Qis eyes lit up, showing a renewed interest.
The referee nodded and said, Yes, but the cost of overtime is 1000 Federal Coins. Are you both splitting it?
They charge for overtime?
Bai Qi was somewhat hesitant. The money he earned yesterday was mostly spent on nutrient solution, leaving him with only 1500 Federal Coins. Signing up for the battle cost him 200, and overtime would cost 1000. This was exceeding his budget.
With this amount of money, hed rather buy a couple more bottles of nutrient solution instead of ying overtime.
No problem, Ill cover the cost. But you must fight a good one with me!
Seeing Bai Qi hesitating, Shi Yong generously decided to cover the cost himself.
Youre on? Then lets begin.
Upon hearing that someone was going to cover the cost, Bai Qi agreed immediately. Alpha, who had been standing there foolishly, also adjusted its pose and enteredbat mode.
Although it was his masters order, which was beneficial to Alpha as well, being hit for half an hour had pissed off Alpha a bit.
tter tter.
(Master, can I attack?)
Bai Qi nodded and said, Well, since hes stayed with us for so long, lets give him a good fight.
tter tter.
(Understood.)
Alpha assumed abat stance, and the Braced Frog was also brimming with fighting spirit. However, this time, it did not recklessly use skills like before, but adopted a stance that somewhat resembled the warriors on TV.
Dont tell me you think our Haoli Dojo can only use martial arts. You underestimate our master, the Thunder Hand!
Braced Frog, attack with full power!
Ribbit!
The Braced Frog let out a furious cry, and its four arms, transformed into streaks of lightning, hastened towards Alpha.
However, the moment Braced Frogunched its attack, Alpha disappeared from its original spot. Before Braced Frog could locate its target, it felt a sharp pain in its kidney area. Barely managing to twist around and check, Braced Frog saw two des stabbed into its lower back, with the handles, being held by Alpha.
This guy,cking martial virtue, dared to ambush!
And, he attacked the kidney!

18 Chapter Seventeen: Rejecting All the Gaudiness
Trantor: 549690339
The Braced Frog managed to endure its pain, turning back with a punch, but Alphas speed was too fast, dodging with ease.
Shi Yong wanted the Braced Frog to keep on with the assault, but the frogs lower back had been stabbed making it weak. It could only watch helplessly as Alpha once again distanced itself.
Frustrated, Shi Yong red at Bai Qi, snapping, That was low, resorting to sneak attacks. Cant you fight fair and square?
Bai Qi looked somewhat wronged. He hadnt ordered Alpha to attack the lower back; it was all Alphas own initiative.
That said, the result was pretty good.
No matter how high your martial arts, youre afraid of a cleaver. No matter how good your kung fu is, a brick can knock you out.
In the face of absolute speed, refuse all mboyance.
Alpha, dont just casually attack someones lower back in a duel like that, only when sure they are an enemy. Understand?
*tter* *tter*
Alright, responded the obedient Alpha, nodding its head. It swiftly shifted to the front of the Braced Frog, the Bone Daggers firmly locking onto their opponent.
Upon seeing Alphas daggers, the Braced Frog immediately felt a stinging pain in its lower back.
Nevertheless, as a Combat System beast, the Braced Frog had a strong ability to heal. Its muscles wriggled, and its wound slowly started to close.
Braced Frog, be careful this time. Dont rush in to attack, beware of another sneak attack, warned Shi Yong, his earlier fury gone. He calmly assessed the current situation and gave the Braced Frog new orders.
*Ribbit!*
The Braced Frog nodded its head, its arms forward, ready for whatever came its way.
Alpha, restricted by Bai Qi, also refrained from any sneak attacks and slowly approached the Braced Frog, the pair circling each other like martial artists.
Finally, the two once again shed one forceful and mighty, the other swift as lightning. The fight now began to resemble a formal duel.
However, despite Alphas extremely fast response, its frail build was a disadvantage. Coupled with the Braced Frogs specialized training, Alphas attacks were easily blocked by its opponent.
Learning from its experience, the Braced Froginstead of shattering Alphas limbsheld them tightly, to be safe, it also gripped Alphas legs.
You definitely wont escape now.
Shi Yong nodded satisfactorily after seeing this, and just as he was about to boost his dojos pride, he saw Alphas skeletal form bizarrely fluctuate before the bones in its chest and abdomen turned into sharp des and stabbed at the Braced Frogs joints.
*Ribbit* *Ribbit*
This thing, always aiming for the weak spots.
The pain made the Braced Frog lose control of its strength and it ended up shattering Alphas bones. However, Alpha seized the opportunity to break free while appearing whole once more on the side.
*tter* *tter*
(Master, its weak. The Screaming Mushroom was more fun.)
Bai Qi didnt know how to respond hearing this. They were here to fight, not y. Its fortunate the opponents couldnt understand Alphas speech, or else theyd be furious.
Sheath your daggers, remember what we are here for.
Bai Qi warned Alpha again, who reluctantly put away its daggers and chose to deal with the Braced Frog barehanded.
*Ribbit Ribbit*
(Beast Master, can I hit him with all Ive got?)
Upon seeing Alpha sheath its weapon, the Braced Frog became less wary. However, it still requested permission from its Beast Master.
Having been bested three times, Shi Yong was quite upset and thus agreed to the Braced Frogs request.
This time he came to Gusu City representing his dojo. If he lost, his dojo couldnt open a branch there, then the dojos master might beat him to death!
Getting the consent of its Beast Master, the Braced Frogs eyes shone brightly. Again itunched Double Kick, rapidly narrowing the distance with Alpha. Each of its arms used different techniques to attack Alphas different parts.
Able to handle two arm movements independently, this youngds Braced Frog has been well trained.
The referee noted the value of the Braced Frogs technique and nodded appreciatively.
If the frog had used this skill earlier, the fast little skeleton might not have been able to damage it.
Indeed, faced with the uneven rhythm of the Braced Frogs attack, Alpha started to struggle and could only maintain its foothold through its superb speed.
However, soon enough, Alphas frailty came to light. Whenever it couldnt dodge in time, it got its bones broken by the frog. Shi Yong purposely sted the broken bones away to dy Alphas recovery.
Seeing the Braced Frog finally gained an upper hand, Shi Yong smiled again. He looked at the silent Bai Qi and said, You better surrender. The Braced Frogs usual opponent is the Steel Training Dummy, not a fragile skeleton like yours.
Steel Training Dummy?
Understanding Shi Yongs hint, a light bulb turned on in Bai Qis mind, halting any further y with Shi Yong.
We surrender.
Without hesitation, Bai Qi chose to surrender. He forcefully recalled Alpha and turned to look at the referee.
Um, well, I dere the winner of this match is Shi Yong from Haoli Dojo.
The ref obviously saw Shi Yongs intentions but didnt mind throwing him some promotion.
After all, having a dojo in Gusu City would only benefit its development.
When Gusu Citys rating went up, the treatment from the association would naturally improve as well.
However, he couldnt understand why Bai Qi suddenly surrendered.
Looking at the little skeleton, it seemed to be getting the hang of the Braced Frogs attacking rhythm. If it continued, it was hard to say who would have won.
Hearing the ref announce the result, Bai Qi promptly left. But instead of going home, he headed straight for the training equipment store.
Boss, do you sell Steel Training Dummies for practicing fighting skills?
The shopkeeper nodded, Yes, we do. But the cheapest model will cost you 10,000 Federal Coins. Are you sure you can afford it?
Bai Qi clearly looked like a student, presumably, he didnt have that sort of purchasing power.
10,000 Federal Coins?
Bai Qi winced in pain. He obviously couldnt afford it, unless he got another task, like the Screaming Mushroom.
No, better make it two tasks.
The shopkeeper saw Bai Qis hesitation and pointed to a battered steel pir in the corner. If you dont mind, I have a damaged one that you could use. Ill give it to you for 1,000 Federal Coins.
Bai Qi examined the steel pir and decisively responded.
Deal!

Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qis Home.
The boss directed two pets to carry the damaged steel training dummy into Bai Qis yard, saying cheerfully, With shipping included, this steel dummy will be 1300 Federal Coins.
Hearing the bosss price, Bai Qi confirmed even more that he had been ripped off, especially when he saw the bonus repair materials given by the boss, he was even more sure of it.
However, it hade to this, and he felt it wouldnt be right to haggle with the boss anymore. He could only silently keep this loss in his heart.
Bai Qi watched the boss leave, and after some rummaging in front of the living room television, he summoned Alpha.
As his previous fight had been forcibly interrupted, Alpha seemed a little disoriented. His small head stared curiously at Bai Qi.
Gulu, Gulu.
(Master, why didnt you let me finish fighting him?)
Bai Qi patted Alphas head, saying, There were too many people, we need to develop low-key, otherwise well be targeted ahem, lets just say it would be easier for others to target us.
Alpha appeared to understand, but he seemed to ept Bai Qis opinion.
His master seemed smarter than him, so he must be right to listen to him.
However, todays happenings have reminded me. You indeed need to learn some fighting skills detached from your abilities. Otherwise, youll truly waste your super speed.
Bai Qi switched on the television, clicked the hot fighting films recently, then set it to auto switch, and made Alpha sit in front of the television.
Your task now is to watch TV, learn how people fight. Ill go and fix the steel training dummy.
After finishing his words, Bai Qi rushed into the workshop without looking back. He carried a bunch of tools in front of the old steel training dummy and began to dissemble it.
The steel training dummy was damaged in many ces. No wonder the boss had given just a tenth of its price. If you hired a professional to repair it, the cost might be even bigger than buying a new one.
Bai Qi was very sure that the boss had made a big profit, but for Bai Qi himself, it wasnt a loss.
After all, he was a high-talented student in machinery and martial studies; he could fix this kind of problem.
Besides, it even helped him for modifications.
Evening.
Bai Qi finally finished repairing thest part. Looking at the steel training dummy, which was good as new, in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.
Lets try it out first.
Bai Qi turned on the power, and the steel training dummy was activated immediately. It began to rotate in different sections at different speeds. The metal rods firmly embedded in it produced a kind of whistling sound, indicating you shouldnt touch it casually.
Most importantly, spikes would asionally spring out from the seemingly smooth cylinder, catching you off guard.
Bai Qi pressed the remote control in his hand and the rhythm of the steel training dummy changed again. In the end, the speed of its rotation surpassed Bai Qis handling ability, making it impossible to see the shape of the metal rod clearly, just like a chainsaw.
Good, just as I anticipated.
Satisfied with how things turned out, Bai Qi nodded and turned off the steel training dummy, then he ran back to the house nning to let Alpha try it out.
I want to fight ten of them!
Just as Bai Qi entered the living room, he heard a murderous roar. Alpha on the opposite side stared nkly at the screen. Only the soul fire jumping in his eyes showed Alphas current mood.
Are you watching Ye Da?
Ye Da and his pet beast merged on the screen at the moment. After that, they defeated an enemy whose number was ten times theirs, with a simple and clear fist technique.
Beast masters with fusion talent could enjoy fighting themselves.
Just right, he also practices with a dummy. However, he uses a wooden dummy, while you use a steel dummy. As long as you train well, you can achieve the same level as him.
Bai Qi pressed pause and led Alpha to the yard, saying, From now on, you will train with this. If it works well, we wont need to spend money at the Beast Master Association.
Alpha nodded as if he sort of understood. Looking at the steel training dummy before him, he made a solemn gesture to the steel dummy, imitating the moves in the movie, and thenunched an attack.
Judging by the moves, they were strikingly simr to Ye Das moves.
It really works!
Bai Qi smirked and pressed the button. The steel training dummy started to rotate again, but not as fast as before.
The original steel training dummy divided into several movable sections. However, Bai Qi installed a rotation device inside and set different modes so that Alpha could gradually adapt to the training.
Taking into consideration that this was the first time Alpha was using it, Bai Qi started with the first stage.
Surely enough, although the rotative steel training dummy took Alpha by surprise, Alpha quickly adapted to the rhythm using his super speed and the experience from fighting the Braced Frog. His moves were leisurely andfortable.
Upon seeing this, without any hesitation, Bai Qi initiated the second stage. The speed of the steel training dummy doubled, making Alpha a bit ufortable. Eventually, a metal spike that shot out suddenly broke his arm.
However, Alpha quickly recovered using the Bone-breaking Reformation, returned to the steel training dummy to continue training, and then his arm was broken again. This cycle continued. It was much harder than fighting the Braced Frog.
To gain maximum effect, Bai Qi had purposely set the rotation of the dummy to random.
Which means, even Bai Qi, the designer himself, wouldnt know how the rotation speed of the steel training dummy would change, or when the metal spikes would shoot out.
The purpose of this was to make Alpha adapt to all kinds of emergency situations.
Just like when the Braced Frog got serious, attacked with different moves using its four arms. Alpha clearly struggled; this was also why Bai Qi didnt want to continue.
After all, no one wants others to see all their trump cards, right?
Of course, it wouldnt matter if the training doesnt work out, as long as Alpha couldpletely absorb the residual energy of the Evolution Egg.
If this n works, then he would be able to arrange time more rationally in the future, maximizing the efficacy of the Evolution Egg.
Looking at Alpha, who was constantly fighting with the steel training dummy, Bai Qi had no intention to stop. He ran back to the workshop and started to sketch on paper.
Inspired by Shi Yong, all sorts of inspirations kept popping out of Bai Qis mind. If it werent for poverty limiting his creativity, Bai Qi was confident that he would design a whole set of training devices for Alpha now.
If possible, he would find some professional martial fighting videoster. Maybe Alpha could learn something from them.
How about Yong Dong, Nine Strong Fist, Lonely Nine Swords, Returning Spirit, Cutting Heaven Sword Technique
And so on.
A martial artist called Alpha, it doesnt sound bad just thinking about it.

Tsk, this nutrient solution is draining faster than I expected.
Bai Qi stared at the rapidly diminishing number of nutrient solutions in the refrigerator, feeling a bit of a headache rising.
Though hed already tried to reasonably time the use of the Evolution Egg, the consumption rate of the nutrient solution significantly exceeded his projections. In just one week, hed exhausted half a months worth of supply from his n.
At least itllst till the end of the month, guess Ill just have to tighten my belt.
Bai Qi calcted the consumption, reconsidered, and decided to abandon the idea of taking on any missions.
It wasnt because it was troublesome, but rather because he simply did not have the time.
While university coursework wasnt extensive, it still demanded attendance. After all, general knowledge is quite important, not to mention cybeics was a subject he was deeply interested in.
Compared to those F-ss missions with pitiful rewards, Bai Qi preferred attending sses at the university.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The knocking interrupted his thoughts. Closing the fridge, Bai Qi advanced towards the door. Upon opening it, he found Zhuge Chen standing there, a husky at his side.
With a confused nce at the man and the dog, Bai Qi asked, Zhuge Chen, what brings you here? And why did you bring this guy?
Zhuge Chen scratched his head awkwardly, answering, I had no choice, this fellow has been acting up recently, I dont know why. He was almost attacked by the other Arctic Ice Wolves. He doesnt want to stay alone in his room, so I was hoping you could look after him for a while.
Acting up? Dont tell me is he in heat?
Bai Qi eyed the huskys belly skeptically, suggesting, Have you considered giving him a little surgery?
Hearing Bai Qis words, the husky, who had previously been curiously scanning his surroundings, immediately stiffened and quickly crossed its paws over its private region.
Howl! Howl!
(This guy, hes definitely evil!)
Zhuge Chen let out a bitterugh, conceding, Lets not, I dont want anyints from the dog lovers in the shop, plus he isnt even fully grown yet, its impossible for him to be in heat.
Bai Qi nodded, saying, I dont mind housing him, theres still room in the yard, just consider it as having an extra guard dog. However, I wont cover his food costs.
Its not that he was stingy, but he was barely managing as is.
Thankfully, Alpha belonged to the Undead n and didnt need to eat, otherwise living conditions would have been even tougher.
Dont worry, Ive made arrangements for that,
Zhuge Chen pointed towards a truck parked in the back, saying, Food and a temporary kennel for half a month. If its not enough, Ill have someone bring more over.
Zhuge Chen certainly deserved his reputation as the future heir of Elf House his wealth was striking!
Bai Qi gave Zhuge Chen a thumbs up, and together they unloaded the truck and set up the temporary doghouse in the courtyard.
As soon as Zhuge Chen stepped into the yard, he saw Alpha training with the Steel Training Dummy, and he was momentarily stunned on the spot.
What on earth have youe up with now?
Zhuge Chen nced at Bai Qi who was next to him, at a loss for words.
Nothing much, just some training equipment for Alpha. The training areas outside are simply too expensive.
Are you sure its training equipment and not some kind of offensive weaponry?
If this isnt training equipment, then what is?
The two worked together and quickly finished setting up the temporary doghouse for the husky. Afterward, Zhuge Chen didnt stay around for long and quickly left.
For some reason, the number of people who came to Elf House to buy Undead pets had suddenly increased, and he had just managed to squeeze out some time.
Having seen Zhuge Chen off, Bai Qi removed the leash from the husky. The husky instinctively tried to frolic about the yard, but after catching sight of the remote control in Bai Qis hand, it obediently came to a standstill.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, saying, Good, I dont have Zhuge Chens patience, so youd better behave while youre here.
Awooo
(Darned human, one day Ill let you taste what its like to be electrocuted!)
The husky obediently nodded its head, but its constantly wandering eyes revealed its inner thoughts.
Is this fellow really the Arctic Ice Wolf renowned for its cold and aloof personality
Feeling a bit helpless, Bai Qi patted the huskys head. Suddenly, he felt the Evolution Egg in his mind vibrate.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron Egg 23%.)
[Condition]: Activated
The progress of the Evolution Egg had increased by ten percent.
Bai Qi looked at the husky, somewhat puzzled. He had just interacted with the creature a few days ago and the Evolution Egg showed no changes then. So why was there a movement today?
Could it be that the Evolution Egg progress had a specific time to increase?
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, then focused his attention. The huskys information instantly appeared in his mind.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf
[Race]: Wolf Species (Mutant)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Three Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Racial Skills]: Ripping w, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance
[Condition]: Evolvable
So, this guy had also mutated!
Perhaps, the reason hed been so agitated these past few days was because of the mutation.
But there was nothing special about these attributes; it didnt look like hed mutated at all.
Certainly, it couldnt be the Current Resistance, could it?
Bai Qi examined the husky from head to toe but found nothing particr. He then turned his focus to the Evolvable condition.
Dating back to when he first cleared the Screaming Mushroom mission, Bai Qi learned that the Evolution Egg could also be used on other pets.
However, Bai Qi had no ns to benefit others with his gift. Besides, this ability was rather astonishing, it was better not to expose it so casually.
Anyway, using it on the husky once or twice should be fine, considering it was to spend half a month in his house. Nobody would figure it out.
By the way, he wanted to confirm something.
Since the Evolution Egg could fuse metal and bone, could it perhaps also fuse cybeics and flesh?
Behave and stay still.
After warning the husky, Bai Qi ced his right hand on its head. A jet of dark energy gushed out immediately, rapidly enveloping the husky.
Awoo? Woof! Woof! Woof!
(What on earth is this!)
Seeing the strange energy suddenly gushing out of Bai Qis hand, the husky was scared into barking, its legs shaking as it tried to escape.
However, the ck Iron Egg was notably fast and instantly enveloped the husky.
Scritch! Scritch!
A series of scratching sounds emanated from the ck Iron Egg, which wobbled slightly before the scratching sounds gradually ebbed.
Werent the creatures supposed to fall into a Deep Sleep upon being enclosed by the ck Iron Egg?
This oddity did not escape Bai Qis observant eyes. He made a mental note before sitting off to one side to wait.
An hour quickly passed, the agitated husky broke free from the ck Iron Egg, warily considering the shattered eggshell all around.
This thing was capable of making it fall asleep unwittingly, it was even more dangerous than that metallic lump that could produce electricity!

Trantor: 549690339
Just as the husky was warily staring at the eggshell fragments, those pieces turned into streaks of ck energy and rushed straight towards the husky.
Woof Woof Woof!
Seeing that the thing was trying to keep up with it, the huskys bark fully transformed into a dogs yelp. It fled in panic, but in the end, it was still caught by the ck energy that slowly fused into its prosthetic limb.
Argh?
With the fusion of the ck energy, the husky suddenly felt much better about the metallic lump. It no longer felt as cold as before.
Seeing this, Bai Qi stepped forward quickly, carefully examining the huskys prosthetic limb. Soon, he discovered that the prosthetic, which was originally connected only by metal sps, was showing signs of fusion with the flesh.
The Evolution Egg, can it even fuse with this kind of mechanical energy?
Bai Qi released the huskys mechanical limb, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
Choosing the Mechanical Weaponry major was definitely the right decision.
Combining traditional pets with mechanical weaponry, he was about to usher in a new era!
Argh?
(This human, has he lost his mind?)
The husky looked at Bai Qis goofy smile, snorted audibly with disdain, then started running all over the courtyard, feeling incredibly free.
Seeing the husky behave this way, Bai Qi also slowly calmed down.
Although the Evolution Egg could seamlessly integrate mechanical prosthetics and flesh, Bai Qi was still unsure about the underlying principles. He would need to invest some time for research.
Thinking about this, Bai Qis gaze at the Husky suddenly became a bit strange. The husky, which was initially running around cheerfully, felt a chill run down its spine and instinctively hid in its dog house.
This ce was dangerous, it suddenly wanted to go home.
Due to his discovery of the new territory, Bai Qi rarely spent his day without caring for Alpha. He needed his full attention on the husky, as it seemed.
After using the ck Iron Egg three times in a row, the fusion between the mechanical limb and the Husky became more and more profound, leaving almost no perceivable joint.
However, even so, the Husky didnt undergo significant changes like Alpha.
Do I have to wait for its bloodline level to evolve?
Recalling the huskys previous evolution, Bai Qi knew that this matter couldnt be rushed.
Anyway, the fool will stay here for half a month. Theres plenty of time for thorough research.
Worsees to worst; once he advances to the second stage, hell form a Soul Contract with this dimwit.
Although he cant figure out what about the Husky has changed, having the Evolution Egg in hand, the contract doesnt seem to bear much importance to him.
Time to evolve Alpha. It shouldve absorbed all the remaining energy by now.
Bai Qi prepared dinner for the Husky, opened a bottle of Nutrient Solution for himself, and walked over to Alpha.
After a week of training, Alpha had be ustomed to the speed of the second phase, moving with supreme ease, exhibiting the charisma of a battle professional.
What pleased Bai Qi the most was that even though Alpha did make mistakes asionally and got hit by a steel rod, it no longer suffered fractures.
[Name]: Shadow Bone Spike (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Eight Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (proficient), Steel Skeleton (proficient), Continuous sh (beginner), Shadow Lotus Skill (beginner)
[Condition]: Can evolve
Alpha trained without interruption, and its originally fragile skeleton finally disyed aspects akin to a Steel Skeleton, which along with Bone-breaking Reformation both reached a proficient level.
But the biggest gain was that Alpha had obtained another active attack skill.
[Skill Name]: Continuous sh
[Skill Introduction]: Rapidly swinging the weapon in hand for cutting enemies, quickly strangling the enemy.
He had tested the power of this skill, and although it didnt have the kind of explosive power and concealment like Shadow Lotus Skill, it won by requiring less energy usage, making it more suitable for frontalbat.
It could be said that Alpha had initially qualified to take on the role of the main pet.
Lets evolve two more times while its still daylight, and well test you on the battlefield tomorrow.
Having closed off and cultivated at home for a week, Bai Qi also wanted to go out and test Alphas actualbat power.
After all, data is just data, and actualbat isbat. Shutting yourself away is not advisable.
However, before Bai Qi could use the Evolution Egg, the Husky, which had been gorging on its food, suddenly jumped up and barked madly into the distance. Alpha also stopped its practice, nkly staring into the west.
Whats wrong, is there a problem?
Bai Qi followed their gaze, but saw no abnormalities.
Suddenly, a shrill rm rang across the Gusu Citys sky, immediately followed by broadcasting.
Attention, all citizens, there is a sudden disturbance at Undead Hill, disaster level B! All citizens engaged in outdoor activities, please immediately proceed to the nearest shelter.
Attention, all citizens, there is a sudden disturbance at Undead Hill, disaster level B! All citizens engaged in outdoor activities, please immediately proceed to the nearest shelter.
Attention, all citizens, there is a sudden disturbance at Undead Hill, disaster level B! All citizens engaged in outdoor activities, please immediately proceed to the nearest shelter.
The urgent broadcast repeated itself over and over, and Gusu City, which was supposed to slow down, suddenly revived again with excitement.
What the hell!
Outbreak at Undead Hill?
Undead Catastrophe!
Bai Qi had only read about the destruction caused by the Undead Catastrophe in books during the eighteen years he had been in this world. He didnt expect to actually encounter it today.
However, Bai Qi didnt seem worried at all.
After twenty years of development, numerous walls had been constructed around Gusu City, and there were Beast Control battalions stationed outside the outermost wall. Even if there was a real Undead Catastrophe, it wouldnt threaten him for now.
Moreover, the scale of this outbreak shouldnt berge, otherwise, it wouldnt be just ssified as a B-level disaster.
The Undead Catastrophe is a catastrophic disaster that can destroy an entire continent. Its far more terrifying than a beast tide.
But since Undead Hill was bombed by Mechanical Legend twenty years ago, there shouldnt be any advanced undead creatures, right? So how could there be a sudden outbreak?
Bai Qi felt a little confused, but he wasnt curious enough to go running around.
Even a B-level disaster isnt something he, an intern, could participate in, going out now would only add to the chaos.
Bai Qi pacified Alpha through the Soul Contract and then noticed the Husky still barking frantically towards the direction of Undead Hill.
This creature seems to have noticed the trouble at Undead Hill earlier than Alpha, an undead creature.
While its true that Arctic Ice Wolves have Perception Skills. But isnt this distance a bit too exaggerated?
Speaking of it, the dog was restlessly acting uncharacteristically a few days ago. Could that be because it sensed something?
If thats the case, he might have hit the jackpot.
Chapter 22 - 22 21: Secret Realm Tower
22 Chapter 21: Secret Realm Tower
Trantor: 549690339
Due to the uprising at Undead Hill, people in Gusu city were constrained in their movements, save for a necessary few industries and the professional Beast Masters.
As for students like Bai Qi, they were told to stay home and attend online sses.
Can a Beast Master who cant go out to fight really be called a Beast Master?
Those who just formed a pact to be Beast Masters suddenly became restless.
What, we can train at home?
Alright, I understand.
Within seven days, a bunch of mischievous kids turned their homes upside down, causing their parents endless headaches.
However, this didnt affect Bai Qi at all, as he could focus on raising his pet beast at home.
Although Bai Qi did not think Gusu City would repeat the cmity of twenty years ago, to be safe, he focused all his energy on training Alpha over the next few days.
As for the Husky, Bai Qi ruthily abandoned it.
Although Bai Qi was interested in the fusion of flesh and machinery, he decided that increasing his own power was presently more urgent, so he wouldnt be caught off guard if something did happen.
But how long is this state of affairs going tost?
Looking at Alpha, who was still training hard in the yard, and the Husky who was sitting to one side with curiosity, Bai Qi yawned boredly.
The materials in the workshop were all used up, he had nothing to do other than drafting diagrams. Alpha could train by himself, and the only thing Bai Qi could do was to use the Evolution Egg on Alpha.
He waspletely treated like a tool.
Nevermind, lets just evolve Alpha once more.
The moment Bai Qi attempted to use the Evolution Egg on Alpha, whose skeletal recovery speed had begun to slow down, a clear broadcast suddenly resonated over Gusu city.
Attention all citizens, the Undead riot has ended, citizens may gradually return to normal life.
Attention all citizens, the Undead riot has ended, citizens may gradually return to normal life.
Attention all citizens, the Undead riot has ended, citizens may gradually return to normal life.
Upon hearing the broadcast, all the citizens of Gusu City burst into cheers, the majority of whom were parents exhausted by their mischievous kids.
It ended so quickly? Was it suppressed by the Federation?
After hearing the broadcast, Bai Qi immediately put Alpha into his Beast Control Space and rushed towards the Beast Master Association.
When Bai Qi arrived, the front of the Beast Master Association was already packed with people.
It had only been a short week, but the disaster was deeply tied to their personal lives. Not only Bai Qi, following the news of the lifting of restrictions, a crowd flocked to the Beast Master Association to understand thetest developments.
Regarding this situation, the Beast Master Association was well prepared. Multiple big screens at the entrance were continuously ying the current situation at Undead Hill.
On the barren Undead Hill, the Beast Control Corps was methodically cleaning up the battlefield. Above Undead Hill, a valiant man was standing on a gigantic ck bird, overseeing below.
Isnt that the Legendary Celestial Brilliance?
Among the Beast Masters present, some recognized the man and were briefly stunned. However, watching the giant tower standing in the center of Undead Hill, their initial astonishment at seeing the Titled Legendary figure was reced by shock.
It turns out that the Undead creatures inside Undead Hill were moving outside because the Secret Realm Tower had appeared inside.
Though the Federation was established barely a hundred years ago, human Beast Mastery dates back thousands of years, and these Secret Realm Towers are the remnants left by the Legendary Beast Masters and Legendary Pet Beasts of the past.
No wonder the long dormant Undead Hill suddenly erupted. It was because of the Secret Realm Tower.
However, what would the government and the association n to do?
Soon enough, while everyone was still fascinated by the Secret Realm Tower, another message appeared on the screen.
The Secret Realm Tower of Gusu City is now open. After consultation between the government and the Beast Master Association, it is decided to open it to apprentice Beast Masters. The harvests belong to the individual and the spots are limited. Interested Beast Masters should register at the association.
As soon as this message came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
Each Secret Realm Tower represents endless opportunities and wealth, usually controlled by the Federation and the Beast Master Association. Most people present wouldnt have a chance to ess it.
But now, the government had decided to open it to all apprentice Beast Masters, which was unexpected.
However, after hearing this news, Bai Qi smelled something fishy.
A newly discovered Secret Realm Tower, especially in a ce like Undead Hill, was being opened to apprentice Beast Masters. It felt like they were being used as cannon fodder.
Nevermind, lets sign up first and see.
Despite some concerns, Bai Qi couldnt resist the temptation of a Secret Realm Tower.
But the number of people were too many.
Looking at the sea of heads in front of him, Bai Qi couldnt help feel a bit overwhelmed.
Indeed, in the face of the temptation of a Secret Realm Tower, almost nobody could resist.
Looking at this situation, the association should have other testing methods. Otherwise, there would be too many people entering the Secret Realm Tower.
The apprentice Beast Masters who can pass the test will significantly enhance their pet beasts strength after receiving the rewards from the Secret Realm Tower.
The professional assessment in June would be much morepetitive.
For some reason, Bai Qi instinctively thought of Gao Cheng, who had helped him clear the Screaming Mushrooms.
This time, he should be able to pass it, right?
After a long queue, Bai Qi finally registered and also learned about the specific arrangement for this Secret Realm Tower expedition.
Because the Secret Realm Tower had just opened and couldnt withstand too many people simultaneously, the association decided to send in batches. Hence, all the apprentice Beast Masters who had signed up for the expedition were required to participate in a test, which determined the order they would enter based on their performance.
This was simr to what Bai Qi had anticipated.
Nevermind, lets go home and prepare to enter the first batch.
Looking at the lengthy queue behind him, Bai Qi headed home.
The training and examination for this trip wouldst three days. Participants had to prepare themselves, especially food and other necessities.
It seems that the leftoverpressed food pills could be put to use now.
Thinking about what he should bring for the expedition, Bai Qi quickly arrived home but found his steel training dummy half destroyed by the Husky and shook his head helplessly.
He left in such a hurry that he forgot to lock up this creature. After only half a day, this thing managed to tear apart the steel training dummy.
No, he could not leave this creature at home. Otherwise, when he returns after three days of training, his house would probably be destroyed.
By the way, how did this thing manage to tear apart a steel training dummy? Are Other Realm Huskies all this fierce?

The next day.
At Taize Lake, Husky wore an expression of woe, silently carrying a sizable backpack and walking dejectedly in front. Strolling behind it was a rxed and content Bai Qi.
Although the trial assessment was only three days, there were many things to prepare.
Food, a simplistic bedroll, emergency medical supplies
Of course, Bai Qi wasnt going to carry such arge pack himself, he needed to find a porter.
With its vibrant energy and physical strength equal to that of an adult, the Husky was a natural choice.
Awooo! Awooo!
(I may not be a human, but you really are a dog.)
If not for the electrical device inside its mechanical limb, Husky was sure to rise up and overthrow Bai Qis oppressive rule.
But now
The wolf must lower its head under the eaves of a house.
Bai Qi!
Just as Bai Qi was preparing to register at the entrance, a familiar voice rang out from behind. He turned to see Gao Cheng waving at him.
I knew youde.
Gao Cheng quickly walked up to Bai Qi, nced curiously at the Arctic Ice Wolf next to him, and asked, Whose Arctic Ice Wolf is this?
Bai Qi replied, Oh, a friend left it with me, and I brought it here just in case it might be useful.
Although a First Stage Beast Master could only contract with one creature, some gentle creatures could be kept by ones side without a contract.
Most of those were used as pets, so seeing Bai Qi bring one to the trial assessment was a first for Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng chuckled and said, The Arctic Ice Wolfs sensory abilities are good, it might really be helpful in the trial.
Bai Qi nodded and asked, By the way, Brother Gao, do you know how the trial is being conducted this time?
Even though Bai Qi knew about the existence of the trial assessment, due to not being a Beast Master, he wasnt too clear about the details.
Gao Cheng paused for a moment and exined, ording to tradition, we should hunt ferocious beasts or find materials to acquire points. The ranking will then be based on points, and it should be the same this year.
So, this was a test of the Beast Mastersbat abilities and survival skills?
Bai Qi quickly grasped the purpose of the trial assessment. An army of Beast Masters, d in camouge uniforms and riding Arctic Ice Wolves, appeared from the banks of Taize Lake and swiftly formed a long queue.
These were all soldiers of the Beast Control Army. The creatures they contracted with and the resources for nurturing them were all provided by the government, requiring no contribution from the Beast Masters themselves.
The reason the Zhuge Family could gather so many undead creatures was that the Elf House was the government-designated supplier for army creature contracts.
Silence!
After the Beast Control Army arrived, a dark-skinned coach stepped out from the queue. He swept his gaze over the Beast Masters present and said loudly, In half an hour, we will start the trial. Before that, listen carefully to the rules.
There are a vast number of ferocious beasts, and many resources inside Taize Lake. What you have to do is hunt as many ferocious beasts and gather as many resources as possible. Different resources can be exchanged for points. Anyone who can reach the endpoint with resources worth 1000 pointspletes the trial.
However, this year, we will not set up safety points inside the field. We only provide you with a distress signal device. If you activate it, we will consider your assessment failed, and someone will escort you out within five minutes.
During the five minutes after the distress signal operation, your personal safety depends on yourself. So, think about it carefully. When youre ready,e to me to sign the safety promise and receive the point directory.
The coachs voice was loud and clear, everyone present could hear clearly. But after a brief silence, there were immediate whispers among the crowd.
Without safety points, what if we encounter danger?
I dont believe it, they must be trying to scare us, making us give up and not go to the Secret Realm Tower.
But what if there really are none
Then then lets not go.
Looking down at the chattering rookies, the coach felt a hint of disappointment but quickly concealed it.
Though he didnt know why the government asked him to do this, the effect was surprisingly good.
They had been at peace for twenty years. These pampered young Beast Masters had even lost the courage to go on an adventure.
It was a pity that the Legendary Celestial Brilliance had discovered this Secret Realm Tower, and at present, only apprentice Beast Masters could enter it. Or how could it possibly be these rookies turn?
Bai Qi was also a bit surprised by the coachs words. Although such a trial field must have been cleared of high-level ferocious beasts, ferocious beasts were still ferocious beasts. They wouldnt just target your creature like in normal fights.
Consider the fragile bodies of the apprentice Beast Masters. A single blow was basically crippling, let alone surviving until after five minutes.
Bai Qi nced at the coach who was scrutinizing the crowd with an inspecting gaze, and signed the safety promise without hesitation.
Alpha was now at Zero Stage Eight Level, and along with his high-speed Supermodel and Steel Skeleton, he shouldnt have a problem with self-preservation.
Moreover, Bai Qi felt that this coach was trying to scare them.
In this peaceful era, even the army wouldnt easily gamble with citizens safety. Bai Qi believed many of them could understand this, but whether they dared to take this wager was another question.
After all, in addition to the threat of ferocious beasts, the surrounding Beast Masters were also rivals.
The coach only stated that reaching the endpoint with enough resourcespleted the trial. But he didnt say how these resources were obtained.
The registration process continued, and Bai Qi was reading the point directory in his hand.
The directory was very well made. Besides high-definition pictures, it contained living habits and skills of the beasts and even marked their habitats.
And especially for some ferocious beasts with higher points, the details were marked incredibly meticulously. It seemed like they were afraid that you wouldnt challenge them.
[Name]: Ice Ghost
[Race]: Ice, Undead
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Ten Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Freeze Fang, Blizzard
[Description]: Lives in the iceyer of Taize Lake, very irritable
[Points]: 1000
Completing the trial required 1000 points, and this creature was exactly 1000 points. Bai Qi didnt believe for a second that this was a coincidence.
Bai Qi smiled secretly, seeing all the ferocious beasts in the directory as progress for the Evolution Egg. If the entrance wasnt blocked, he wanted to go in right away.
Whether the Evolution Egg could be upgraded again would all depend on this trial!
Chapter 24 - 24 23: A Little Shock Will Do
24 Chapter 23: A Little Shock Will Do
Trantor: 549690339
Half an hourter, the novice Beast Masters who signed the safetymitment followed the leadership of the Beast Control Army into the vicinity of Taize Lake, while many more Beast Masters returned, deted.
Im really envious of these novices. I heard that this Secret Realm Tower is a trial type. Even if they only clear one level, they can still gain a lot of resources.
Pfft, if you want to, be a novice Beast Master and see if the instructor will beat you to death. If you survive, you can go.
The instructor turned his head and gave a harsh re at a few soldiers, saying, Stop fooling around. Go to your positions. We dont want any casualties.
Yes, sir!
The soldiers immediately donned serious faces. After all the novice Beast Masters entered the area around Taize Lake, they quietly trailed behind them.
Although the instructors previous speech was meant to scare people, this training was indeed somewhat different from usual. Their orders were to secretly protect these novices unless absolutely necessary; they couldnt provide aid.
However, the novice Beast Masters inside wouldnt know what was going on.
Taize Lakeside.
The novice Beast Masters dispersed as soon as they entered the area around Taize Lake.
This time, their training concerned reservations for the Secret Realm Tower, no one wanted to waste time.
Bai Qi, should we team up? We could look out for each other.
Gao Chengs pet beast had already reached its first stage. Although it hadnt yet passed the Beast Masters professional assessment, handling this type of training was rather easy. As such, he didnt mind taking Bai Qi along.
Thank you, but Id rather try it on my own.
Bai Qi declined Gao Chengs kind gesture. Points were important, but hunting beasts was just as crucial, moving together with Gao Cheng would certainly be inconvenient.
Then be careful. Try toplete the mission as early as possible.
Despite being rejected by Bai Qi, Gao Cheng didnt mind. He summoned his Fire Armor Scorpion to advance deeper into the Lake region.
Although the training said that umting enough points was considered passing, there must have been a ranking, which might directly affect the order of entering the Secret Realm Tower.
After Gao Cheng left, Bai Qi quickly identified his own target.
[Name]: Crystal Alligator
[Race]: Crystal n
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Eight Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Race Skills]: Crystallization, Bite, Rush
[Introduction]: Hiding in theke, itunches sneak attacks on its enemies.
[Points]: 200
The Crystal Alligator might only be two levels higher than the Ice Ghost, but their points differ by a full 800. However, whenpared to creatures like squirrels, who only bring in thirty or forty points, this monster was a jackpot.
However, Bai Qi chose the Crystal Alligator not because of its points, but because of its attribute.
The mostmon beasts in Gusu City were from the Wolf species and Ice n. Although there was a recent trend for undead, it still couldnt shake the position of these two ns in Gusu City.
Finding a monster like the Crystal Alligator, which had a unique attribute, was a rare opportunity for Bai Qi.
Lets go, lets go. Time to get into hunting.
After confirming his target, Bai Qi summoned Alpha, striding towards the Crystal Alligators location. The reluctant Husky had no choice but to follow obediently.
As an important method of transportation and biological radar, Bai Qi wasnt going to leave it behind.
Alpha, keep an eye on our surroundings. If any ferocious beasts show up, strike first, said Bai Qi.
This was his first time participating in a trial. Even though the hovering mechanical eye above him suggested there was someone looking out for him, he couldnt help but worry.
He had just activated his Golden Finger (a special ability or advantage). If he died now, it would be a huge loss.
He who strikes first, wins; he who strikesst, suffers.
Bai Qi understood this principle well.
At theke.
The map in the points manual was very detailed, so Bai Qi and Alpha did not take long to arrive at theke.
Along the way, they encountered several creatures. Bai Qi even ran into some of Alphas kind, but most were not worth many points. Some were even worth none at all, and Alpha easily took care of them.
Bai Qi initially wanted to collect them all by abiding by the principle of waste not, want not, but after seeing the resentment in the huskys eyes, he chose to let it go.
Even though the mechanical limbs had almost entirely fused with the huskys flesh, it was still, after all, a disabled dog and overexploiting itsbor seemed hical.
Found it! Bai Qi eximed.
As they cautiously moved along thekeshore, they spotted an enormous Crystal Alligator basking in the sun with its mouth wide open. The crystal clusters on its back shone with a rainbow of colors in the sunlight.
Roar!
The Crystal Alligator was highly alert. As soon as Bai Qi and hispany approached, it detected them, let out a ferocious roar, and its aggressive eyes fixated on the unexpected enemies.
However, after a closer look, the Crystal Alligator seemed less interested.
It had thought that food had delivered itself, but instead, it found a pile of bones, which was quite boring.
But the dog and the human behind seemed to taste well.
Drool began to drip from the Crystal Alligators mouth, and its short limbs started pping at an astonishing rate, rapidly charging towards Bai Qi.
Rapid Charge!
Although the Crystal Alligator was bulky and normally moved slowly, it could dramatically increase its speed by using this special ability. Enemies usually didnt have time to react.
Alpha, its body is extremely hard. Aim for its eyes! Bai Qi quickly advised Alpha through their bond as he moved away.
The husky was even quicker to react, finding arge rock to hide behind.
Given the terrific size of the Crystal Alligator, its small eyes were practically insignificant, targeting them was a formidable challenge. And a careless move could lead to severe injury given the enormous force it carried while charging.
If this had happened earlier, Alpha might be running around aimlessly to deplete the Crystal Alligators energy. But now
Alpha swung the two Bone Daggers in its hands, the bones all over its body shining with a metallic luster. The Fire of Soul in its eyes flickered continuously, and it closely observed the oing Crystal Alligator.
In Alphas perception, the Crystal Alligators speed wasparable to a crawling turtle. It didnt move to dodge until the charging creature was almost upon it. Then it dexterously sidestepped and struck a dagger at its eyes.
Feeling a threat, the Crystal Alligator instinctively used its defensive skill, Crystallization. A transparent crystal spread out from the crystal cluster on its back, intending to envelop its whole body.
But Alpha was too fast. Before the crystal could reach its eyes, the dagger had already punctured one.
Having practised on the steel training dummy for so long, and with all the knowledge gathered from countless movies, Alphas movements became more purposeful, and it finally managed to exploit its speed advantage.
The intense pain caused the Crystal Alligator to cry out in anguish and it opened its giant mouth, ready to snap at Alpha.
The Bone Daggers were rtively short, and Alpha wasnt able to hit the Crystal alligators vital spot.
Just then, a stream of fine electricity suddenly erupted from Alphas palm. It flowed through the metallic Bone Dagger and into the Crystal Alligators body. The creature stiffened and stopped moving.
The strong current had forcibly destroyed the Crystal Alligators brain.
Chapter 25 - 25 24: It is common knowledge that the Secret Realm Tower has two entrances.
25 Chapter 24: It ismon knowledge that the Secret Realm Tower has two entrances.
Trantor: 549690339
After confirming that the Crystal Alligator was truly dead, Bai Qi ran out from behind the stone, walked over to Alpha and removed a pair of mechanical gloves from its hands.
As an undead creature, Alpha naturally didnt possess thunder properties. The electric current just now was emitted from these specially made gloves, flowing into the Crystal Alligators brain through the hardened Bone Daggers.
Unfortunately, Bai Qi had not yet mastered small energy storage technology, so attacks like the one just now could only beunched once before the battery needed to be reced.
Bai Qi swiftly reced the battery in the gloves, then walked over to the Crystal Alligator, cing his hand on its head.
He had previously only touched living pet beasts and wasnt sure if the strategy would work with deceased ferocious beasts.
Fortunately, the moment Bai Qi touched the Crystal Alligator, several cracks appeared on the ck shell of the Evolution Egg.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron Egg 28%)
[Condition]: Activated
Uncontacted low-level elites can provide 3% progress, mid-level elites provide 5%, and the progress from high-grade elites is uncertain, but it must be higher.
Bai Qi thought back to the pets of Gao Cheng and others he hade into contact with before, and roughly sorted out a simple pattern.
Under normal circumstances, it should be like this. If its a mutant species, it should be even higher.
Considering that the low-level elite Husky had brought him 10% progress after mutating, if the species were of a higher level, the provided progress might be even higher.
Lets go, onto the next target!
Bai Qi had Alpha cut off the Crystal cluster from the back of the Crystal Alligator and toss it into the backpack on Huskys back, before they continued on to the next target.
Considering that some ferocious beasts were toorge to carry, the Scoring Guidebook listed the most valuable parts of these beasts. One could umte points simply by carrying these parts to the end point.
Now, Bai Qis target was one of the beasts with the highest scores, the Ice Ghost.
He only had three days of activity around Taize Lake, and Bai Qi didnt want to miss this opportunity to interact with so many different types of ferocious beasts. However, if he failed the trial exam because he was hunting beasts, the loss would outweigh the gains.
So, Bai Qi nned to first ensure that he would pass the trial exam, then take his time hunting beasts.
Due to its own attributes, the Ice Ghost preferred to be active within the iceyer therefore, the three-quarter-of-the-year frozen shores of Taize Lake was the perfect choice.
The area where the Ice Ghost was active was not far from where the Crystal Alligator resided. After casually dealing with a few small ferocious beasts, the two arrived at the Ice Ghosts location.
However, it seemed like they were a step toote.
Furthermore, Bai Qi recognized this person.
It was Lu Yuan, who had trained with him before.
Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, use Ripping w!
Both being senior elites and at level 10, Lu Yuans Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was in no way inferior to the Ice Ghost. Its sharp bone ws were wrapped with the sound of wind thunder and ferociouslyshed onto the icy blue spherical creature with two sharp horns in front.
But the Ice Ghost was clearly faster than the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger. It quickly floated up with its round body to avoid the Ripping w attack. With a swing, sharp ice cones shot out from the two horns on its head, whizzing towards the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.
Freezing Fang.
It could condense countless ice cones to attack the enemy, causing the struck target to be immobile, as if bitten by sharp fangs.
Facing the attack from the air, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger showed no panic and easily dodged it. However, before it could counter-attack, a snow storm appeared between the Ice Ghosts horns, rapidly covering the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.
Damn it, it used AOE so early.
Seeing that the Ice Ghost used a group attack skill so early even when facing a single opponent, Lu Yuan was clearly surprised. Looking at the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger about to be frozen by the snowstorm, he immediately roared out.
Ghost Bone Giant Tiger, use Intimidation!
Intimidation was a kings skill that only themander-level pet beasts couldprehend. It could oppress enemies of a lower race level in terms of aura.
His Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was merely a high-grade elite, but because it was originally a tiger, it inherited this skill.
Indeed, after the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger used intimidation, the Ice Ghosts body suddenly shuddered, and the skill it was preparing to evoke was forcefully interrupted.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan was about to retaliate, but unaware of the Ice Ghost sneaking out from theyers of ice,unched an attack on both him and his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.
Damn it, another Ice Ghost has returned.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan cursed under his breath and quicklymanded the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to retreat to defense. Suddenly, he saw a small, thin figure sh past him, attacking the Ice Ghost that had just appeared in the air.
This fellow, looks so familiar?
Seeing the Little Skeleton appear above the Ice Ghosts head, Lu Yuan couldnt help feeling a sense of familiarity. After seeing the man and dog that followed, he instantly recognized them.
It was the student specializing in mechanical battle arts who had previously modified his own skeleton. Why was he there as well?
Be careful, your skeleton soldier cant break through the Ice Ghosts defense
After all, the Ice Ghost was a high-grade elite. The skeleton soldier didnt stand a chance against it.
As soon as Lu Yuans voice fell, Alphas dagger pierced the Ice Ghosts body and a strong current surged, paralyzing the Ice Ghost on the spot.
Then, Alphas body suddenly deformed, enveloped the Ice Ghost, and its skeletal structure, like countless sharp des, shredded the Ice Ghost into fragments, leaving only two sharp horns falling down.
Tsk that was too harsh, how am I supposed to skin him all mashed up like that?
Bai Qi looked exasperatedly at the ice shards on the ground, picked up the two intact horns, and sighed with some regret as he surveyed the unmoving Evolution Egg.
Crack, crack.
(Master, I was wrong.)
Looking at Alpha, who appeared like a child who had done something wrong, Bai Qi gestured dismissively. ncing at Lu Yuan, he asked, Are you dealing with this or should I?
Lu Yuan was still immersed in the formidable attack power demonstrated by Alpha. It was only when Bai Qi shouted that he snapped back to reality. Without replying, he issued a series ofmands to the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to finally take down the Ice Ghost.
After eliminating the Ice Ghost, Lu Yuan hesitated, but his curiosity got the better of him. He pointed at Alpha obediently standing behind Bai Qi and asked, Your skeleton soldier
Alpha Race evolved, so it looks a bit different.
Bai Qi exined casually, asking, Are you also aiming to go to the Secret Realm Tower?
No shit! Who would participate in this event if it wasnt for the Secret Realm Tower? And thats not what I was asking about!
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance, toozy to engage in a pointless conversation with Bai Qi. He mounted the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger and quickly moved on.
His goal was to secure the first ce in the trial examination, and thus be the first to enter the Secret Realm Tower to im the first-arrival reward. Naturally, he couldnt waste too much time here.
Having a mountable pet sure is convenient. Regrettably, I was originally nning to skin his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger.
Looking at Lu Yuan, who was quickly disappearing into the distance, a hint of envy shed in Bai Qis eyes as he looked at the Little Skeleton at his side, determined.
Speaking of which, the Arctic Ice Wolf wasnt small in size when fully grown. It should be rideable.
Thinking about this, Bai Qi suddenly realized that Husky had run off. Scanning the surroundings, he finally discovered the silly creature digging at the spot where the Ice Ghost had previously emerged.
Hey, hey, hey, youre not nning on digging a hole for yourself right here, are you?
Although Husky had lost its ice-based skills, it still preferred a cold environment. However, it wasnt suitable now.
But then, when Bai Qi saw the ck door Husky had dug out, he stood there astounded.
This door, doesnt it look like the door of the Secret Realm Tower in Undead Hill?
Chapter 26 - 26 25: Entering the Secret Realm Tower
26 Chapter 25: Entering the Secret Realm Tower
Trantor: 549690339
Woof! Woof! Woof!
After days of Bai Qis dedicated training, the Husky had utterly abandoned its original racial characteristics. It had switched itsnguage and was sitting proudly in front of therge door, waiting for Bai Qis praise.
You rascal, you even have this kind of ability.
As Bai Qi took a closer look at thisrge door, he became increasingly certain that this door must be rted to the Secret Realm Tower in Undead Hill.
Suppose he reported it to the Association, there should be quite a few rewards, right?
Bai Qi nced at a few floating mechanical eyes in the distant sky and began to wave to attract their attention.
Creak.
At that moment, the door slowly opened revealing a whirlpool. It extended all the way to Bai Qis feet. Without a chance to react, he fell straight in.
After one man, one dog, and one skeleton disappeared, the mechanical eyes only arrived btedly, leaving a giant ck door.
Examination Headquarters by thekeside of Taize Lake.
President Qin Jiang of Gusu Citys Beastmaster Association stood in front of a giant screen. The screen was clearly disying the situation in Taize Lake.
Although this practicum did mean to let these probationary Beast Masters suffer a bit, they still needed close monitoring.
However, the images the mechanical eyes brought back could hardly satisfy Qin Jiang.
There were those chased by the Piercing-Back Wild Boar, those who fainted from the fright of the Green-haired Spider, and even more absurdly, there were some who were knocked unconscious by a measly two-level Light Teeth Rabbit.
These years have been toofortable it seems, I suppose Ill have to increase the difficulty for the next practicum.
Looking at the state of the young generation of Beast Masters in Gusu City, President Qin couldnt help feeling upset. The Titled Legendary Celestial Brilliance Bai Heguang, who was sitting beside him,forted him and said, President Qin, you are worrying too much, there are people with good performances in this practicum.
With this being said, Bai Heguang pointed to a few probationary Beast Masters on the screen who were currently challenging Level-10 Ferocious Beasts, stating, Although they are still immature, its good enough for their age.
Hey, Heguang, arent you just praising your son in a roundabout way? I heard that he has already advanced to Level 3 a few days back?
Qiu Chas case is quite special, it is of no reference value.
Hearing Bai Heguangs statement, President Qins face rxed a bit, he said, This time I especially had the Beast Control Army bring out several Ferocious Beasts from the Secret Realm Tower to help these kids adapt. I hope they can perform better in the Secret Realm Tower.
Having said that, President Qin signaled the staff to switch the camera view to the several beasts that had been brought in from the Secret Realm Tower.
Because of their high scores, these few beasts, despite being the highest level beasts, have Beast Masters challenging them.
Looking at the performance of these people, President Qin nodded with satisfaction. Even though their overall strength was rtively weak, like Bai Heguang said, there were still many promising seeds.
Huh? Why is there no image of the Ice Ghost?
President Qin spent a long time looking but couldnt find the image of the Ice Ghost. After checking, the staff in charge of controlling the mechanical eyes reported, Reporting to the President, the mechanical eye near the Ice Ghost was struck by an unknown energy and image data loss urred. All the Ice Ghosts should have been hunted down by people.
Also, the soldiers in the field reported that an examination participant named Bai Qi has disappeared. Where he disappeared, another secret passage was found!
Bai Qi woke up groggily from a field of ice, by his side were a simrly bewildered Husky and Alpha.
Well, wait. Alpha didnt have a face.
Stupid dog, what the heck have you dug out!
Looking at the light blue ice walls around him, Bai Qi was filled with rage instantly, and in his fury, grabbed the Huskys neck and shook it violently.
Arooo arooo arooo.
(What does it have to do with me, you kicked the door open!)
Before he could react, an opening suddenly formed in the surrounding ice walls, and an Ice Ghost popped out.
Wait, whats going on.
Looking at the Ice Ghost rapidly flying towards him, Bai Qi was puzzled. He quickly retreated a few steps and left the battlefield to Alpha.
Alpha, remember to leave a full corpse!
Although he was not sure of the situation currently, since he hade across another Ice Ghost, Bai Qi would naturally not let go of the progress it offered.
Having received themand, Alpha entered his stance and then quickly approached the Ice Ghost.
Seeing this skinny skeleton daring to attack, the Ice Ghost immediately retaliated by shooting ice teeth everywhere. Alpha easily dodged them, and the asional ones he couldnt avoid, Alpha easily smashed.
Seeing this, the Ice Ghost immediately tried to create distance, however, Alpha was too fast. With a leap, Alphanded on the Ice Ghost, followed by a series of chopping movements.
Snap.
The Bone Daggers easily broke through the Ice Ghosts defense and hit its core. Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately rushed up andnded on the Ice Ghost before it dispersed.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron Egg 38%)
[Condition]; Activated
No wonder it was a high Level Elite. It directly provided ten percent of progress!
Bai Qi looked at the Evolution Egg, where the cracks had already spread to one third of its surface, he couldnt help but grin from ear to ear.
In this manner, it wasnt just a dream for the Evolution Egg to level up once again.
Chatter chatter.
(Master, how did I perform this time?)
You did a great job!
Feeling the strong emotions Alpha sent over, Bai Qi lovingly patted Alphas little head.
Because its core was hit, the Ice Ghost onlysted a little while before gradually fading, leaving behind an amber stone enveloped in light blue mes.
Theres a reward too?
Seeing this suddenly appeared amber, added with the ck door that threw him in here, Bai Qi had a rough guess of where he was.
Undead Hills Secret Realm Tower.
If those guys who are still working hard to earn points knew that I just walked in like this, theyd be furious.
Thinking about how he had entered the much-coveted Secret Realm Tower in advance, Bai Qis smile twisted a little.
Alpha, pick up that amber.
As an Mechanical War student, Bai Qi had studied various materials and could tell the origin of this amber at a nce.
Soul Stone, a type of ore that can rapidly enhance the soul strength of the Undead. Its usually only formed after the death of powerful Undead creatures.
Im finally rich! No more struggles!
This was indeed a rare material; it was notmonly found outside. Unless arge number of Soul Stones flood out from here, this Soul Stone should definitely sell at a high price.
If it met the crazy fans of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance, it might even sell for a higher price!

27 Chapter 26: I Want to Fight Ten People
Trantor: 549690339
This time, it wasnt Ice Ghosts that emerged from the ice wall, but their evolved version, Ice Ghost Guards.
[Name]: Ice Ghost Guard
[Nature]: Ice, Undead
[Level]: First Stage Level One
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Frost Strike, Frozen Breath
Despite being a high-grade elite like the Ice Ghost, the Ice Ghost Guard was no longer round but had evolved into a humanoid form. The ice spear in its hand was clearly more threatening than the frozen fangs.
Especially Frozen Breath, although it might not cover asrge an area as Blizzard, its activation speed was significantly faster. Coupled with the equally swift Frost Strike, many trainee Beast Masters would likely fall there.
However, for Alpha, there was no difference between Zero Stage Tenth Level and First Stage Level One. Rather, the Ice Ghost Guards, whod lost their ability to fly, were easier to deal with than the Ice Ghosts.
At least there wasnt that much jumping around now.
Sure enough, faced with the weapon-bearing Ice Ghost Guards, Alpha fully showcased the results of his recent practice, easily breaking the limbs of the Ice Ghost Guards and temporarily disabling theirbat abilities.
Creak creak.
(Master,e quickly!)
As the first beneficiary of the Evolution Egg, Alpha roughly understood Bai Qis intentions. Therefore, he was particrly proactive this time, only temporarily disabling the capabilities of the Ice Ghost Guards, allowing Bai Qi to progress safely.
Not bad. If theres another Soul Stone this time, Ill give you one.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, pressing his hand on the head of the Ice Ghost Guard. The progress of the Evolution Egg grew again, but presumably because of its connection with the Ice Ghost, it only rose by five percent.
I hope the next challenge isnt another Ice Ghost variant.
Bai Qi released his hand somewhat disappointedly while Alpha swiftly beheaded the Ice Ghost Guard. A Soul Stone once again appeared on the spot.
There was another one!
Bai Qi quickly picked up the Soul Stone. Afterparing it with the one from the first level, he found that the quality of this Soul Stone was significantly higher. If sold, it would definitely fetch a higher price.
Alpha, this one is yours.
Thinking about this, Bai Qi handed over the Soul Stone he had obtained on the first level to Alpha without hesitation.
Creak creak.
Having endured for a long time, Alpha jubntly hopped around on the spot, then forcefully crushed the Soul Stone. A small me flew into Alphas body, merging with his existing Fire of Soul.
Soon, Alpha had absorbed all the mes from the Soul Stone. The Fire of Soul in his eye sockets became more vigorous, and even his bones glowed a bit more brightly.
[Name]: Shadow Bone Spike (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Level]: Zero Stage Nine Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Master), Steel Skeleton (Master), Continuous sh (Skilled), Shadow Lotus Skill (Novice)
[Condition]: Evolvable
After eating the Soul Stone, Alphas level directly increased by one. His status was markedly stronger, and even the proficiency level of the Continuous sh skill he had recently acquired had risen by one level.
If such were the case with rare materials, what about Epic materials? What about Mythical ones?
Bai Qi strongly suppressed his impulse to give the other two Soul Stones to Alpha as well and swiftly walked towards the Teleportation Circle to the next level.
The Secret Realm Tower had a total of nine levelshed only just climbed two. His journey was far from over~
..
President Qin watched the footage before and after Bai Qis disappearance, his face growing increasingly stern. He turned to an instructor beside him and asked,
Whats the progress on investigating that door? Is the disappearance of that trainee Beast Master confirmed to be rted to that door?
The instructor shook his head, replying, Weve tried many times, but that door seems to be a one-time entry pointwe simply cant get in.
As for that trainee Beast Master, he likely entered the Secret Realm Tower ahead of us.
Moreover, he even reached the fourth level.
The instructor projected a video retrieved from Undead Hill onto the screen. ying on the screen was the scene of the Secret Realm Tower.
The runes from the first three levels of the Secret Realm Tower had been activated, while the fourth level was faint, indicating that it had not been sessfully challenged.
President Qin fell silent for a while, then ordered the instructor, Have people guard the entrance. Once that young manes out, bring him straight to me.
The instructor appeared to understand and asked, What about this training session?
Continue as normal.
..
The fourth level of the Secret Realm Tower.
Bai Qi looked speechlessly at the ten Ice Ghosts surrounding Alpha, his expression twisted.
The enemy on the first level was an Ice Ghost, the second level was an Ice Ghost Guard, and the third level was the advanced form of the Ice Ghost Guard, the Ice Swordsman.
[Name]: Ice Swordman
[Race]: Ice, Undead
[Level]: First Stage Level Three
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Frost sh, Frozen Breath, Ice Ghost sh
Although the difficulty of the third level was not low, it was still within Bai Qis predictions. Alpha defeated the Ice Swordsman with his superb martial arts skills.
However, for this fourth level, the master of the Secret Realm Towerpletely let loose.
Although Bai Qi expected the increase in enemy numbers, he didnt anticipate it to suddenly jump to ten.
Secret Realm Tower, are you messing with me, or did you flunk math? Come,e, let me tutor you.
Alpha, lets withdraw first. The number is a bit too many, Bai Qi remarked as he watched the Ice Ghosts slowly closing in. He was thinking of leaving, and the Husky beside him was nodding so vigorously it was a blur.
Unlike the man and the dog, Alpha seemed quite excited. After looking at the numerous Ice Ghosts around him, the Fire of Soul conveyed waves of fighting spirit.
Creak creak.
(Master, I want to fight ten!)
Um, lets give it a try then.
Feeling Alphas intense fighting spirit, Bai Qi was somewhat helpless but still agreed to Alphas request.
In any case, the ferocious beasts wouldnt attack him. If Alpha was defeated, he could instantly recall Alpha and leave the Secret Realm Tower.
However, once they are back, he wouldnt let Alpha watch those movies anymorethose seem to have made him crazy.
Tsk, if he had known this earlier, he should have given the other two Soul Stones to Alpha as well. He didnt think that at this level, Alpha wouldnt be able to defeat these Ice Ghosts even if he cant break through to the First Stage.
As for now, even if he can win, the fight will probably be a tough one. Alpha, separate from them and look for opportunities to ambush.
Since the enemies were numerous, straight-on fighting was impossible. The only option was kite tactics.
I wonder if this Secret Realm reward supports installment payment? A certain number for a certain number of kills?
Chapter 28 - 28 27: Found an Organization
28 Chapter 27: Found an Organization
Trantor: 549690339
Undead Hill Secret Tower.
Having lost all interest in the assessment, Qin Jiang delegated the task to other staff members and, along with Bai Heguang, arrived at the front of the Secret Tower after a short wait.
President Qin, is this young man of particr interest to you?
Bai Heguang nced at the flickering runes of the fourth floor, saying, Hes 18 and still not a professional Beast Master. This young mans talent seems ordinary.
As the youngest Titled Legendary figure in the Federation, Bai Heguangs standards were high. At Bai Qis age, all prodigies were already professional Beast Masters. The fact that Bai Qi was still a trainee reflected his modest talent.
What if this young man only became a Beast Master a month ago?
Qin Jiang handed a document to Bai Heguang, saying, In the history of the Federation, there were plenty ofte bloomers who awakened their talentste. Moreover, this youngster seems a bit different from others.
Bai Heguang quickly scanned through the document. His eyebrows knitted as he remarked, Thisd, is he actually applying mechanical modifications to beings of the Undead Department?
Upon seeing this, Qin Jiang smiled, I know, Heguang, you dont have a great impression of Mechanical Legend. But isnt this young man carving out a brand-new path?
Bai Heguang gave a forced smile, then summoned a giant ck bird, jumping onto its back.
President Qin, theres something I need to attend to, so Ill be on my way.
Without waiting for Qin Jiangs response, he drove the bird into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
This guy, even after bing a Titled Legendary figure, hes so difficult.
Qin Jiang shook his head. Suddenly, the massive door to the Secret Realm Tower opened, and a man and a dog appeared before him.
Bai Qi brushed off the ice shards from his head with a disgruntled look. This damned ce, is it really intended to be passed by an intern Beast Master?
Despite Bai Qi not being a magic-based profession, Alphas kite flying tactics were still sessful in eliminating all ten Ice Ghosts.
However, when Bai Qi entered the fifth floor and saw the ten Ice Ghost Guards, he immediately chose to concede.
You must be kidding defeating ten Ice Ghosts depleted Alphas energy mostly. In the face of ten more Ice Ghost Guards, victory seemed impossible.
Unless Alpha could grasp arge-scale attack skill or a control skill.
Unfortunately, besides swiftly promoting its race, Bai Qi hadnt discovered any ability regarding skills in the Evolution Egg yet.
At present, his only solution was to convert the gains from the Secret Realm Tower into real power first, then try again.
Bai Qi gingerly took out an iron ingot still emanating cold air from his bag, already having an idea in mind.
Seeing Bai Qi standing in front of the Secret Tower gate and incessantlyining, Qin Jiang couldnt help but cough a couple of times to draw his attention. Cough, cough! Are you Bai Qi?
I am Bai Qi, and you are?
Looking at the elderly man standing in front of him, Bai Qi felt he was familiar but couldnt remember exactly who he was.
I am the president of the Beastmaster Association in Gusu City, Qin Jiang. You just finished your Secret Realm Tower trial?
Oh no, my sneaking in was discovered. If Id known this, I wouldve used up all the materials while I was still inside the tower.
This was a big mistake.
With a twitching eye corner, Bai Qi tightly grabbed the bag, gave an embarrassed smile, and said, Well, President Qin, it was not intentional. I just didnt expect that there would be an entrance near Taize Lake, I identally stumbled upon it.
Qin Jiang shook his head at Bai Qis excuse, Dont worry, I am not here to reprimand you for that. I am wondering whether youve already passed the fourth level?
Bai Qi paused before replying, Yes, that was me.
Upon hearing Bai Qis confirmation, a smile swept across Qin Jiangs face. A golden scroll unfolded beneath their feet, shining like the Great Sun. Before Bai Qi could react, the figures of Qin Jiang, Bai Qi, and Alpha vanished.
By the time they reappeared, they were in Qin Jiangs office in the Beastmaster Association in Gusu City.
Looking at the familiar scene outside the window, Bai Qi was taken aback.
The golden scroll was the privilege of a Six Stage Beast Master, symbolized by its color. As a result, Six Stage Beast Masters were given another nickname, the Sunrise Level.
As for how they were transported here so quickly, Bai Qi was clueless.
Could it be that President Qin had contracted a space-attribute pet?
Envy shed across Bai Qis eyes, but Qin Jiang got right to the point: Could you tell me about the fourth and fifth levels?
Bai Qi nodded, Both the fourth and fifth levels are simr to the first three in environment, all being ice fields, except the enemy in the fourth level are ten Ice Ghosts, and in the fifth, ten Ice Ghost Guards.
Despite the ten Ice Ghosts ability to fly, they are rather slow, and their levels are slightly lowerpared to those in the first level. Its quite a tight win. But without group attack skills, it is very difficult to defeat ten Ice Ghost Guards.
Qin Jiang fell silent after hearing Bai Qis exnation and his gaze on Bai Qi became more peculiar.
Mother of God, this old man doesnt have some special fetishes, does he?
Bai Qi shivered and subtly backed away two steps.
Can you summon your pet for me?
Qin Jiang seemed to have realized his weird behavior. He forced a friendly smile on his face, but it looked even stranger in Bai Qis eyes.
Nevertheless, Bai Qi obediently summoned Alpha.
Ghost Bone Spur? Thats not quite right. It seems to be a bit different.
As the president of the Beastmaster Association, Qin Jiang was extremely knowledgeable. He identified Alphas race at a nce but was somewhat puzzled by Alphas metallic sheen.
Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly exined, Uh, Alpha has mutated, so its slightly different from themon Ghost Bone Spurs.
The dramatic changes in Alpha were bound to raise questions, forcing Bai Qi to attribute everything to mutation.
A mutant species?
Qin Jiang smiled, turned to look at Bai Qi, and said, But training it to level nine in just one month is quite impressive. Did you also make these mechanical joints and this pair of gloves?
Simple enhancement, simple enhancement.
Bai Qi nodded awkwardly and asked, President Qin, is this legal?
Its legal. As long as it does not go against humanitarianism, its legal.
Qin Jiangughed heartily, and then turned serious, Bai Qi, I am going to ask you now, are you willing to join our Beastmaster Association?
Chapter 29 - 29 28: Special Talent Development Plan
29 Chapter 28: Special Talent Development n
Trantor: 549690339
Join the Beast Master Association?
Upon hearing Qin Jiangs words, Bai Qi was somewhat taken aback.
Thats right.
Qin Jiang nodded, saying, Since the Beast Master Association was established, there has always been a special talent cultivation program and I just happen to have a rmendation slot. If youre willing to join the Beast Master Association, I could reserve this slot for you.
Once you join this program, you wille under intensive cultivation by the association. The resources and status youll gain would be unimaginable.
As for the benefits? Trust me, even Sunrise-Level Beast Masters and some Legendary Beast Masters would envy your treatment.
If you have any doubts, I can tell you straight away that the Titled Legendary Celestial Brilliance of the Undead Department was once part of the associations special talent cultivation program.
After hearing Qin Jiangs words, Bai Qi could only feel his heartbeat quickening.
Celestial Brilliance, the Titled Legendary, was one of the Federations top warriors. Although he didnt hold any formal positions, his status was equivalent to that of a Federation Senator.
And such a person was once a beneficiary of this special talent cultivation program.
If he was given this slot andbined with the Evolution Egg, could he also achieve such feats?
Could good fortune just fall from the sky like that?
Bai Qis eyes shone brightly. However, after seeing Qin Jiangs grin which bore no difference from a weird uncle gazing at his goldfish, Bai Qi could not help but probe further.
President Qin, why would you give this slot to me? Isnt such a slot quite valuable?
Its true that desserts falling from the sky were sweet, but Bai Qi was not ustomed to such suddenness.
Seeing Bai Qis doubtful expression, Qin Jiang exined with augh, Theres a reason why I chose you.
Qin Jiang handed Bai Qi a picture it was the secret tower entrance he found in the Ice Ghosts habitat.
So its about the secret tower after all.
From the founding Emperors era, the history of human beast control has spanned over a thousand years, leaving countless secret towers waiting for exploration.
These secret towerse in all kinds and serve different functions, but they all share amon trait.
Theyre all hidden and extremely hard to ess.
Had it not been for Celestial Brilliance, cracking open this secret towers entrance alone wouldve taken us at least a month.
Bai Qi nodded; he was clear on this.
Why did the secret towers almost all fall under the control of the Federal Government or the Beast Master Association? It was because ordinary Beast Masters, despite discovering the secret tower, couldnt break the entrances seal. They could only stare at it dry-eyed.
He didnt notice this earlier, but after hearing Qin Jiangs exnation, he began to realize it.
When he entered the secret tower earlier, he didnt seem to encounter any barriers, did he?
Seeing Bai Qisprehension, Qin Jiang continued, Thats why Im confident that you possess a special talent that allows you ess to the secret tower without hindrance. This is the main reason why I want you to join the Beast Master Association.
Just think about it, once you join the Beast Master Association, youll be the first to enter anytime a secret tower is discovered by the Association. You cant be unaware of what this signifies, can you?
Wow, the pie is gettingrger andrger!
Bai Qi subconsciously nced at the Husky who was curiously examining Qin Jiangs office. His eyes shed with suspicions.
He wasnt sure if anyone else had the special talent Qin Jiang mentioned, but he was certain he didnt.
After all, when he initially entered the secret tower, the Evolution Egg didnt show any abnormalities.
On the contrary, it was this silly dog. It became restless when the Undead Hill secret tower emerged, and Husky was the one who found the entranceter.
Perhaps, Husky possessed the talent Qin Jiang spoke of.
After all, whats the difference between digging a hole and digging for secrets?
Ahem! Well, President Qin, what if I dont possess the talent you mentioned? After all, this isnt a regr entrance isnt it possible that its just a coincidence?
Qin Jiang chuckled, Do you think we didnt have others try? Nobody but you could enter.
However, even if you dont have the talent I mentioned, youre still deserving of this slot.
You managed to train a skeleton soldier into the Nine-Level Nether Bone Spikes just within a month of contracting. With such progress, calling you a genius wouldnt be an exaggeration.
After hearing Qin Jiangs words, Bai Qi was still somewhat hesitant.
So, what would I need to do after joining the association? Like the Beast Control Army, for instance?
Qin Jiangs description indeed sounded tempting, but theres no such thing as a free lunch. He was bound to pay some price.
If he had to live under someones control all year round like the Beast Control Army, Bai Qi would rather not. How could he go beast farming without freedom?
If he could not go beast farming, how would the Evolution Egg level up?
Qin Jiang nodded, Of course, there will be missions. But theyre notpulsory. The Beast Master Association operates differently from the Federal Government.
If you wish, you can take up positions in various associations like me or go on adventures. Given your status as special talent, youll receive preferential treatment in every city covered by the association.
Wait a minute, no 996 shifts or looking 24/7, and thererepanies that good now?
Bai Qi took a deep breath and said, If thats the case, Ill join.
Qin Jiang nodded in satisfaction, Then, wee to the Beast Master Association.
In a few days, the person responsible for the special talent cultivation program wille to validate whether you possess that talent. If it proves to be true, you might be assigned to explore some undeveloped secret towers in the future.
Explore undeveloped secret towers?
Bai Qi suddenly had cold feet.
Thats right. The association has discovered numerous secret towers; some could be forcibly cracked open, some required slow research, but therere also those which have remained sealed to this day. Thus, the association has been on the lookout for people with your talent over the years.
Just as I thought, pies falling from the sky arent meant to be eaten.
Thinking that he might be thrown into secret towers even Legendary Beast Masters couldnt handle, Bai Qi immediately wanted to retract his words. But after hearing what Qin Jiang had to say next, he swallowed his words back down.
However, your strength as a trainee is too low. Without the abilities of a professional Beast Master, venturing into those secret towers would be suicide. Theres a portion of the funding in the talent program dedicated for trainee Beast Masters like you. Ill go apply for it, so strive to be a professional Beast Master as soon as possible.
All right, thank you, President. When am I expected to start?
Also, how much would that funding approximatively be?
Ill have someone prepare your documentster; you can take them when you leave.
Qin Jiang said, As for the funding, its not much, around twenty million.
Two thousand million?
Bai Qis eyes instantly turned into the shape of Federal Coins. The Soul Stone he had carefully preserved suddenly seemed less appealing.

Trantor: 549690339
For Bai Qi, 20 million dors was more tangible than having priority in exploring the Secret Realm Tower.
After all, considering his current strength, he couldnt go to particrly high-level Secret Realm Towers. So, it would be better to use this 20 million dors to buy some Nutrient Solution, and then make Alpha evolve several times.
Wait, he was a millionaire now, he should buy higher-level supplements.
20 million dors should be transferred to your card by tomorrow. Remember to give your card number to my secretary when you go to pick up your documentster, said Qin Jiang.
By the way, you are still a student at Star Mechanics Academy, arent you? If you dont want to affect your studies, it is best not to disclose the information about your participation in the special talent training program.
Qin Jiang continued: After all, there arent many people in the whole Federation who participate in this program.
Bai Qi nodded. If people knew that he, too, participated in the program where Legendary Celestial Brilliance once participated, he would probably make the headlines that day, not the next.
He didnt want to be watched by paparazzi all day, for then, how could he make his pet beast evolve?
Oh, right, I almost forgot about this.
Qin Jiang seemed to suddenly remember something, No one knows about your disappearance today, so keep it quiet for now. After the practice, I will include you in the list of those who passed the assessment, and you can continue with the challenges.
Its a pity that the level of your beast is still a little low, otherwise you could have done a few more challenges and other Beast Masters from other cities would not benefit from the firstpletion reward.
Firstpletion reward?
Bai Qis ears perked up instantly, Is there a firstpletion reward for this Secret Realm Tower?
Qin Jiang nodded, saying, The Lamentation Tower has never been exploited before. Based on past experience, the first person to pass it will receive a unique reward. What it is, I cant say for now.
Epic treasures, skill legacy stones, special equipment, or even directly inheriting this Secret Realm Tower are all possibilities.
However, its a pity that each city can only independently develop newly discovered Secret Realm Towers for one month. After one month, it will open to the entire Federation, and then the talented Beast Masters from the neighboring cities will certainlye to challenge it.
Inherit the Secret Realm Tower?
Bai Qi wiped the saliva at the corner of his mouth and suddenly felt an urge to go back and challenge it right away.
Now, less than a month is left. Try to raise your level as much as you can and climb as many floors as possible.
Observing Qin Jiangs demeanor, Bai Qi couldnt help but feel an urge toment in his heart.
A trial Secret Realm Tower targeting Apprentice Beast Masters, yet he didnt even have confidence for him to have one month to gear up.
Who were you underestimating?
20 million Federation Coins and Evolution Egg, Bai Qi didnt want to target anyone, he just wanted to say one thing.
Everyone present here was garbage.
Alright, I need to go back and check out the situation of the practice field. You should go back and rest for a while, Qin Jiang said.
Looking at the sky, he summoned the golden array again, Also, after you get the Associations certificate, you can log in to the Associations internal website to purchase materials. It is much cheaper than outside, and you get a substantial discount once your quota is confirmed.
Discounts as well?
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, the treatment for insiders was exceptional.
A sh of golden light passed and Qin Jiang disappeared. The secretary, who had been waiting for a while, brought Bai Qis certificate.
Mr. Bai Qi, you are now a member of the Beast Master Association. From now on, you can use the training grounds of the Association branch in any city for free with this certificate. There are other benefits that I wont go into details about now, but I hope you can keep this certificate safe.
Free use of training ground?
Wow, thats a big saving.
Bai Qi took the certificate, looked at the six disparate towers on the cover, nodded, and said, All right, thank you for your work.
The secretary smiled, then took Bai Qi to register his payment card number, and took Bai Qi home by car.
Mr. Bai Qi, someone wille to pick you up and take you to the Undead Hill in three days, and you might need to pretend to enter for the first time then.
Understood.
After watching the secretary leave, Bai Qi rushed back home impatiently, opened the exclusive website of the Beast Master Association, entered his ID, and a series of dazzling products appeared in front of Bai Qi.
Nutrient Solution 50 Federation Coins. Damn, its literally half the pricepared to outside. The marketce is truly full of cheats.
Crying Ramen 500 Federation Coins. This vor is quite distinctive for the potion master.
Strength Spinach 2000 Federation Coins. Enhances body constitution. But Im allergic to spinach, so, never mind.
Deathly Beans 10000 Federation Coins. Wow, these have strong effects. Wait, you cant move for one whole day after consuming them? Never mind.
Gods Water 20000 Federation Coins. It can permanently restore and enhance the body constitution and spirit of the consumer. This is quite good.
After looking for a while, Bai Qi roughly selected a few new supplements. He wanted to take a look if there were any materials for Alpha, but seeing the heart-wrenching bnce in the card, he closed the website silently.
Hang in there. I can make a big purchase after the fundse in tomorrow. Its like what President Qin said, there are extra discounts for special talents, so I have to wait for a couple more days.
Being unable to spend money despite having it, Bai Qi felt itchy inside. He could only distract himself by doing other things for the time being.
I will have 20 million tomorrow, so I dont need to have thesepressed food pills anymore. Neither does Alpha. Ill save them for Husky as food.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi fumbled a little bit in his backpack, and threw thepressed food pills to Husky with disdain.
Pant?
(Can I eat this?).
Husky carefully sniffed thepressed food pill and swallowed it down after confirming that it was safe.
Ah!
The moment Husky swallowed thepressed food pill, its face turned green. It threw up the food pill and kicked it twice in disgust.
Even a dog wouldnt eat thesepressed food pills!
Wait, its a wolf.
Bai Qi muttered to himself, and then took the rewards from his challenge in the Lamentation Tower towards his bedroom.
Initially, he nned to convert these gains into funds to use the Evolution Egg for Alpha. Now that the money problem was resolved, he decided not to keep these things and use them to enhance Alphas strength, which was the best deal.
He remembered what President Qin mentioned about the firstpletion reward. The priority was to improve Alphas strength, and then pass all the levels as soon as possible.
Even if he couldnt inherit the Secret Realm Tower directly, getting Epic materials or treasures would be great.
What made Bai Qi so confident?
Although there wasnt much evidence, Bai Qi had a strong intuition.
Alpha was about to evolve again.
Chapter 31 - 31 30: Ice Shadow Swordsman
31 Chapter 30: Ice Shadow Swordsman
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi excitedly returned to his own bedroom and summoned Alpha.
Due to the aftermath of the battle with ten Ice Ghosts, Alphas condition was obviously not good, with the color of his entire skeleton somewhat dimmed.
Even though the Undead Department doesnt need to rest, this only applies to routine activities. Overuse of skills and depletion of energy value would still affect their condition.
Crack Crack.
(Master, can we go there again?)
Even though Alpha looked weary, his will to fight was still strong.
Be patient, Ill help you strengthen your power first.
Bai Qi handed the Soul Stones of an Ice Ghost Guard and an Ice Swordsman to Alpha, and said: First absorb these two Soul Stones and see if they can help upgrade your level.
Crack Crack.
Alpha nodded happily, crushing the Soul Stones forcefully, and two mes of different sizes appeared in the air. At Alphasmand, they were directly absorbed.
After absorbing the two mes, the Fire of Alphas Soul suddenly surged. An icy blue fire gushed from Alphas skull, making Bai Qi feel slightly uneasy.
A Beast Control Edition of the Evil Spirit Knight?
He helps an old woman up every day; he shouldnt get burned, right?
Fortunately, Alphas conditionsted only a short while before it gradually returned to normal.
Crack Crack
(Master, Ive leveled up again!)
Upon confirmation from Alpha, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He then took out the frosty metal ingot from his backpack.
This was the reward Alpha had received after clearing the fourth floor. Initially, Bai Qi was annoyed at the reward not being ten Soul Stones, but he also saw information about this metal ingot on the Beast Master Associations website and instantly found it very attractive.
[Name]: Cold Spirit Iron
[Description]: A special metal generated upon the death of high-grade specter beasts in extremely cold ces; through some special method, it can impart or strengthen ice attributes to Undead Department pets.
[Price]: 5 million Federal Coins
Just this tiny metal ingot was worth 5 million Federal Coins the Lamentation Towers rewards were a bit too generous.
If it had been earlier, Bai Qi would definitely have sold the metal without hesitation. But now, of course, like the Soul Stones, it was given to Alpha.
As to the special method mentioned in the description, it didnt specify. But Bai Qi didnt care; the Evolution Egg could absorb even ordinary metals, so naturally, it could absorb the Cold Spirit Iron.
Bai Qi had Alpha hold the Cold Spirit Iron. After thinking for a while, he ran downstairs and moved all the nutrient solution to the bedroom, cing it where he could easily reach it. He opened a bottle of nutrient solution and stuck it to his left hand, then ced his right hand on Alphas head.
I hope my instinct is correct, otherwise we might really have to wait a month before taking the challenge.
Bai Qi silently prayed, then activated the Evolution Egg.
As usual, a liquid-like ck light flowed from Bai Qis palm, slowly covering Alpha.
But this time, when only one-third of the shell was formed, Bai Qi felt as if his body had been hollowed out. The strong weak feeling almost made him faint instantly.
Alpha really evolved again!
Luckily, Bai Qi was prepared. He drained his nutrient solution bottle with his left hand, but it barely restored his strength while his energy was rapidly depleting.
The energy from the nutrient solution wasnt enough. He would go and purchase new supplements tomorrow!
Bai Qi kept going, pouring bottles of nutrient solution down his throat as though drinking water. After about a dozen bottles, the ck Iron Egg finally took shape with difficulty.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
This Golden Finger was so unfriendly, why couldnt ite up with something simpler?
Bai Qi copsed heavily onto the bed, panting. The extreme spiritual fatigue couldnt be fullypensated by the nutrient solution, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
Ah-choo!
After an unknown period, Bai Qi was awakened by a chill, and he sneezed involuntarily.
Why is it so cold here, did the cooling system break? Or did I catch a cold?
As Bai Qi rubbed his nose in confusion, he quickly found the source of the unusual chill.
A towering skeleton encased in blue ice armor.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Growth Level]: First Stage Level One
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Mastery), Steel Skeleton (Mastery), Ice Sword sh (Beginner), Shadow Lotus Skill (Proficient), Ice Armor (Beginner)
[Condition]: Evolvable
Alpha had sessfully evolved!
Looking excitedly at Alpha, who was radiating cold currents, Bai Qi felt the side effects of the Evolution Egg were so insignificant.
Even though this might be thanks to the Cold Spirit Iron, evolving twice in a month would be too much for even the Beast Master Association, right?
A flower-like grin spread across Bai Qis face, as he began checking out Alphas newly acquired skills.
[Name]: Ice Armor
[Level]: Intermediate
[Introduction]: Itposes a protective suit out of the Frozen Power, causing ice damage to anyone thates in contact with it.
[Name]: Ice Sword sh
[Level]: Intermediate
[Introduction]: It emits an icy de to strike at enemies, causing freezing effects.
Two ice attribute skills!
And both with controlling effects!
Seeing the special effects of these two skills, Bai Qis face was contorted inughter.
Although he hadnt acquired any AoE skills like Ice Ghost Guards Frozen Breath, having one offensive and one defensive skill in his repertoire was quite good.
And looking at Alphas skeletal frame, concealed beneath the ice armor, it was clear that he had gained considerable strength.
Ice Shadow Swordsman
So it means moving from being an assassin to a swordsman, huh?
Alpha, lets test out your skills, said Bai Qi, looking at Alphas full-body ice armor. Ercan you remove your ice armor?
Clink, clink.
(I can.)
Alpha nodded, the Ice Armor fading into a puff of cold air, instantly turning the bone-chilling cold into an invigorating coolness.
Wow, it seems I wont have to use air conditioning in the future, thatll save me some money.
Bai Qi satisfyingly patted Alphas shoulder before quickly darting out into the yard.
Woof?
Upon seeing Bai Qis appearance, the Husky who was still upied with its unfinished work immediately hopped off the Steel Training Dummy, wearing an innocent face when looking at Bai Qi.
(Human, let me exin myself.)
Bai Qi nced at the heavily dismantled Steel Training Dummy, a teasing look shed in his eyes as he ordered Alpha: Alpha, use Ice Sword sh!
Alpha nodded slightly. The bones of his palm rotated, creating a white bone hilt.
At the same time, a stream of Frozen Power flowed from Alphas arm to the bone hilt, quickly condensing into a wide sword de.
After the ice sword was formed, Alpha shed heavily in the direction of the Steel Training Dummy, and countless ice flowers rapidly spread across the ground.
Holy moly, isnt Ice Sword sh supposed to be a single-target attack?!
Chapter 32 - 32 31: There Must Be a Witch Ghoul King
32 Chapter 31: There Must Be a Witch Ghoul King
Trantor: 549690339
The terrified Husky watched as the Ice Flower stopped just in front of it, freezing its tears in the cold atmosphere.
Awooo~
The Husky trembled and hunkered down, motionless. Meanwhile, Bai Qi looked excited as hemanded Alpha to use the technique several times. The expansive courtyard quickly filled with an icy floral aura, its chill dispersing the summer heatpletely.
Everywhere the Ice Sword touches can be frozen, and it can spread within a certain range. This skill is much stronger than I had thought.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, and let Alpha proceed with showcasing the Ice Armor.
Alpha summoned the Ice Armor rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a full set had formed.
This armor Why does it look familiar?
Bai Qi carefully examined it, quickly recognizing that despite its rough appearance, it was identical to the soldiers armor hed seen in the Legend of the Emperor film hed watched a few days ago out of boredom.
Alpha, can you change the shape of this armor?
Crackle crackle.
(It seems like I can.)
What about this Ice Sword?
(It seems doable.)
Bai Qis eyes lit up. He scrambled back into the house, pulling out a pen and paper and began sketching feverishly. Soon, the iconic equipment set of a ssic boss from a game called Shankou Mountain in Bai Qis previous life was fully portrayed on paper.
As a future weapons master, Bai Qis drawing skills were naturally excellent. His representation of the detailed equipment set truly embodied its essence despite someck of precision.
Alpha, try to make the Ice Armor and Ice Sword based on this.
Bai Qi ced the design before Alpha, who carefully examined it before slowly transforming the armor worn on his body.
Because of the added texture, the speed at which Alpha formed the armor was significantly slower than before. Nheless, when thest piece, Frost Sorrow, was shaped into the crown piece, Bai Qi was filled with praise.
The Andulu Beast wasnt formed yet, but the Witch Ghoul King had already been created.
Fighting ability aside, just this look alone was enough to scare a bunch of enemies to death.
After all, who wouldve guessed that such a fearsomely stylish set of armor would hide a skeleton beneath it?
It seemed that the Beast Master Association also held some modelingpetitions for pets. If Alpha entered thepetition with this model, he was guaranteed to sweep thepetition.
Maintaining such a finely detailed form seemed to take a significant toll on Alpha. It started to crack after just a short time.
The Ice Armor was still at a beginner level. To maintain this high level of precision required a great amount of energy.
Alpha, remove the Ice Armor.
Bai Qi gave the order, and Alpha immediately removed the armor. However, he retained the beloved Ice Sword.
ssics were ssics, no matter where. Once Alpha had leveled up his skills, Bai Qi was determined to have Alpha wear the full equipment set into battle.
After all, every team needs a Witch Ghoul King
Since Alpha couldnt maintain the detailed armor, Bai Qi designed another set for him. Except for a helmet, everything else was kept as simple as possible to ensure movement efficiency.
Though Alphas body had erged, his speed advantage was still present. Too heavy of armor could have the opposite effect.
Furthermore, as a member of the Undead n, Alphas only weak point was the Fire of Soul in his head. The Ice Armor was mainly just to annoy the enemy.
Imagine an enemy finally breaking through Alphas armor, only to find nothing inside but bones and to receive frostbite damage.
Even better, if an enemy finally managed to break one of Alphas bones, it would quickly reshape itself, rendering all of their efforts in vain.
Wouldnt that be frustrating?
Having tested the two new skills, Bai Qi then moved on to testing his basic attacks.
Previously, due to Alphas special nature, he had mainly used guerri tactics. But now, with his increased size, Alpha had essentially transformed from an assassin into a swordsman, which Bai Qi naturally wanted to observe carefully.
Bai Qi searched all around until he finally set his target on a false mountain rock in the courtyard.
Alpha, dont use a skill, attack that false mountain and see.
tter, tter.
Alpha nodded, his hands gripped the filial piety sword firmly. With a heavy stomp of his feet, his towering body turned into a stream of light and disappeared. The false mountain, too, broke apart in response.
Bai Qi ran to the front of the false mountain and saw the ce where the mountain had split was incredibly smooth, already covered with a thinyer of frost.
The power of a regr is not bad either. Ice Shadow Swordsman, indeed powerful.
Satisfaction once again appeared on Bai Qis face. Images of various ice nbinations constantly appeared in his mind as he studied them with Alpha.
You first then finally
Seeing Bai Qis excited face, the Husky, still trapped in the ice flower, yawned out of boredom, licked an ice flower, and fell asleep.
(Foolish humans)
Lamentation Tower.
The three days of testing ended quickly, and the top twenty apprentice Beast Masters were gathered around the base of the Lamentation Tower, watching the constantly flickering runes of the fifth floor and discussing amongst themselves.
Wang Lin, two stages.
Zhang Dafan, one stage.
Ye Fan, three stages.
Lu Yuan, three stages.
Gao Cheng, four stages
Although all of them had passed the exam and the first three stages, they were all beaten up and out upon encountering the ten Ice Ghosts of the fourth stage.
After all, hardly anyone could stand up to the Blizzard unleashed by ten Ice Ghosts working together.
So this is the strength of the students in the urban area?
Lu Yuan looked deeply at Gao Cheng, who wasforting his Fire Armor Scorpion, his eyes full of seriousness.
He specifically came to Gusu City to seize the first piece of the pie in the undead craze hitting Gusu City.
The Undead Legendary Son studying in Gusu City was bound to enhance the citys investment in training undead Beast Masters. So long as he showed enough strength and talent, he would surely attract the attention of the higher-ups.
And this secret Realm Tower was the best opportunity given to him by the heavens above.
But who could think that a secret tower essible only by apprentice Beast Masters would be so perverted? Even after giving it his all, he failed to pass the fourth floor.
But luckily, besides Gao Cheng, who had passed the fourth floor, only two others were still challenging the fifth floor; all others had been defeated already.
With this in mind, he would rank at least fourth in this secret space exam and surely catch the attention of the Beast Master Association.
Whoosh.
Just then, a figure appeared from the entrance of the secret tower. Gao Cheng, who had beenforting his Fire Armor Scorpion, went up to meet it.
Han Wei, how did it go?
The thin young man named Han Wei shook his head and said, Although my Wind Demon Wolf is fast enough, the Ice Ghost Guards of the fifth floor cooperated too well; one minor mistake and I lost.
Gao Cheng pped Han Wei on the shoulder and said, Its fine, at least you were narrowly defeated. I was kicked out directly.
Han Wei shrugged indifferently and said, I dont care, after all, I was forced toe by my old man. This grade is eptable.
With that, Han Wei nced in the direction of the fifth floor and said, But I guess the fifth floor shouldnt be a problem for Xia Xuan. After all, his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus is equipped with many group attack weapons.
Chapter 33 - 32: Killing One Person in Ten Steps
Chapter 33: Chapter 32: Killing One Person in Ten Steps
Trantor: 549690339
Gao Cheng gave a wry smile, saying, The advantages of the Mechanical Engineering Department are indeed considerable, yet there arent many like him, right?
Han Wei said, Normal for the future heir of the Xias Group. He doesntck money. Hes not like other Mechanical Beast Masters who have to scrape and save.
Although the Mechanical Beast Masters upgrade fast, the consumption is indeed equally huge. Typically, an average family cant afford it.
Gao Cheng nodded, and Bai Qis figure popped up in his mind.
He had not seen him since the trials began. With the abnormal speed of Little Skeleton, I wondered if he could make it into the top twenty.
The runes on the fifth floor lit up!
A startled exmation drew everyones attention. The runes at the fifth level, initially flickering, had stabilized, and the runes on the sixth level had begun to flicker.
That guy Xia Xuan has indeed passed the fifth floor, I wonder if he can pass the sixth floor.
Han Wei nced at the sixth floor of the Lamentation Tower, a sh of fighting spirit in his eyes.
Contracted his first beast just a year ago, yet his strength had already surpassed mine. Should I call him a genius, or just say he was overprivileged. Achoo! Um, I think Imte?
As everyones attention was focused on the Lamentation Tower, Bai Qi finally arrivedte, though his condition seemed a bit off. He asionally sniffed hard, clearly having caught a cold.
Gao Cheng noticed Bai Qi and immediately ran over to him, saying, Bai Qi, whats wrong with you?
Bai Qi rubbed his nose and said, Its nothing, I just got a bit cold these days and caught a slight cold.
He had been practicing skills with Alpha over these days. Despite their precautions, he still got it.
You got chilled?
Gao Cheng looked at the scorching sun overhead, unsurprisingly at a loss for words, saying, Did you alsoe to challenge the Lamentation Tower?
Bai Qi nodded and said, I recall Im ranked Ah, yeah, 19.1 almost missed the chance.
To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, Qin Jiang had arranged Bai Qi to be rankedter. Other people stopped paying much attention to him after they heard his rank.
Even those in the top few ranks hadnt passed, so what could a mere 19th ce do?
Its pretty good to be in the top 20, but I suggest you get psychologically prepared.
Gao Cheng pointed to the Lamentation Tower, saying, Although this Secret Realm Tower is open to us novice Beast Masters, the difficulty is not low. Youd better be more cautious.
Gao Cheng patiently exined the conditions of the first four levels of the Tower of the Undead to Bai Qi, saying, Thats all I know, I hope it can help you a bit.
Thanks a lot, Brother Gao.
Bai Qi asked, By the way, Brother Gao, what was your reward for the fourth floor?
He had obtained the Ice Attribute skill for Alpha with just a piece of Cold Spirit Iron, if he could get a few more, he could surely enhance quite a bit more.
After all, Gao Chengs beast was a Fire Armor Scorpion, which didnt match the attribute of the Cold Spirit Iron. He should be able to sell it to him if he negotiated.
Three high-stage Soul Stones, I passed rtively slowly and didnt get the bonus for being the first one.
Gao Cheng scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Of all the people who came here to challenge the tower, he was the oldest, but his performance was not the best. It was indeed somewhat embarrassing to say it out loud.
Every floor has a first-passage bonus?
Bai Qi found a new discovery, immediately grabbed Gao Cheng, and asked, Are you sure theres one on every floor?
Well, thats what the instructor said. But the bonus for the first three floors was taken by the Beast Control Army, so only thest few floors remain.
Gao Cheng nodded, nced at the flickering runes on the sixth floor, saying, But assuming there are no surprises, it should all be taken by Xia Xuan, right? Xia Xuan?
Bai Qi remembered the identity of Xia Xuan quickly.
The genius freshman of Star Mechanics Academy, a double major student in Beast Control Battle and Weapon Mastery. He was definitely regarded as a popr figure.
However, Bai Qis attention was not on Xia Xuan right now, but on the already lit runes on the fifth floor.
Old Qin tricked me!
Why didnt he say clearly that every floor has a first-passage bonus!
It was all right for the first three floors since they were not open at that time.
But if he knew that every one of the following floors had a first-passage bonus, how could he be leisurely staying at home till now!
So now, someone had stolen a floor of the tower directly, and he had suffered a big loss!
Looking at the increasingly solid light of the sixth floors runes, Bai Qi immediately lost the mood to wander around. He directly ignored Lu Yuan, who wanted to greet him, and hurriedly rushed into the Lamentation Tower.
This guy, hes still rushing about.
Lu Yuan, who had been ignored, felt somewhat awkward. Fortunately, no one here noticed him, so Lu Yuan pretended as if nothing had happened.
Gao Cheng, do you know that guy?
Han Wei said, Why dont I seem to remember him?
Gao Cheng said, Hes a student of Weapon Mastery, met him during a mission once, um, his strength is pretty good.
I see.
Upon learning he was a student of Weapon Mastery, Han Wei lost interest and found a ce to sit down nearby.
The students of Weapon Mastery were no different from the traditional breeders of Beast Control. It was already quite impressive for them to squeeze into the top twenty in the trials.
However, to make him pay serious attention, it was stillcking a bit of interest.
The Lamentation Tower.
As soon as Bai Qi entered the tower, he cruised through the first three floors swiftly and directly.
Since he had already cleared them, Bai Qi didnt get any rewards when he cleared them again, so he didnt have much expectation for the fourth floor either. With Alphas full-out effort, he cleared the fourth floor with astonishing speed as well.
Looking at Alpha, with not even a scratch on his icy armor, Bai Qi hesitated no more and stepped into the fifth floor.
As soon as Alpha made his appearance, ten Ice Ghost Guards emerged one after another, quickly moving towards Alpha, trying to surround him.
Alpha, try that move.
Creak, creak.
(Okay, Master.)
Alpha nodded, held his sword with both hands reversed, and thrust it forcefully into the frosty ground beneath.
Ice Age!
As Bai Qi let out a somewhat nerdy roar, the ice flowers quickly spread out from the tip of the sword and soon reached the feet of the Ice Ghost Guards.
And before the Ice Ghost Guards could react, they spread up their bodies and immediately froze all the Ice Ghost Guards.
The Ice Ghost Guards were also of Ice Attribute and began to struggle after a short dy. The iceyer on their bodies soon showed signs of shattering. However, it was already toote.
While controlling the Ice Ghost Guards, Alpha began to move. The frozen ground did not affect Alphas movements. The speed was even slightly faster, and all Ice Ghost Guards were beheaded within an instant.
Kill one in ten steps, without leaving any track after a thousand miles.
That must refer to this situation.
Wow, so cool!
Chapter 34 - 33: The Tower Was Stolen
Chapter 34: Chapter 33: The Tower Was Stolen
Trantor: 549690339 |
Alpha easily took care of the monsters on the fifth floor, quite excited, he barely bothered to pick up the five Soul Stones that appeared on the ground and quickly dashed back to Bai Qi.
Crackle, crackle.
(Master, how did I perform?)
Bai Qiughed, You did quite well. Hurry up and absorb those few Soul Stones so we can move on to the next floor promptly.
After another racial evolution, Alphas various values had significantly increased, which was within Bai Qis expectations.
However, the immediate priority was to speedily clear the sixth floor to avoid someone else snapping up the premiere reward of the sixth floor.
The Lamentation Tower had nine floors in total, and the premiere rewards naturally became more borate as they went up. Bai Qi didnt want to just hand them over generously.
Because of the promotion to the First Stage, Alpha absorbed the Soul Stones quickly, and in no time, all five Soul Stones had beenpletely absorbed. However, this time it didnt level up, it just made his energy level a bit more full.
There was indeed a big difference between the First Stage and Zero Stage. Seeing that Alpha was ready, Bai Qi hastily took Alpha into the teleportation array to the next floor.
The familiar Ice Field environment was the same, but what appeared was not the ten Ice Sword Guards that Bai Qi had anticipated, instead there were five each of Ice Ghosts, Ice Ghost Guards, and Ice Sword Guards.
The master of this Secret Realm Tower sure knows how to y-
Confronted with an unpredictable jump in difficulty, Bai Qi wasnt surprised at all, but instead quickly gave Alpha instructions.
Alpha, first deal with the Ice Ghosts, then take down the other enemies together.
Pick off the mages and healers first, this is amon understanding in all games.
Crackle, crackle.
Upon receiving instructions, Alpha heavily stamped his feet and sprang up, instantly appearing in front of an Ice Ghost, piercing it with a sword.
Then, Alpha didnt stop but rather used the body of Ice Ghost to surge towards another side, directly taking down two more Ice Ghosts.
Because of this, the other wild beasts reacted. The Ice Ghost Guard immediately threw out the Ice Spears in its hand, forcing Alpha to retreat. Likewise, the Ice Sword Guard, who also held an Ice Sword, immediately carried out a surprise attack on Alpha.
Alpha, use the electric.
Seeing, Alpha about to be encircled, Bai Qi immediately gave new instructions.
Alpha forced back two Ice Sword Guards with one sword and then took two metallic spheres from the grooves in his ice armor and hurled them forward.
Boom!
The metallic spheres exploded mid-air, transformed into tworges and fell towards the Ice Sword Guard. Although the Ice Sword Guard quickly dodged, the fallings were too quick and still caught a few. Before they could struggle, they were immobilized by the electric current emitted from the ends of the.
Be it Ice Ghosts, Ice Ghost Guards, or the higher race Ice Sword Guards, all had the attributes of ice and undead. Although they had an outeryer of ice protection, they were still harmed by the strong electric currents.
Even though it was not effective, it was enough if it caused a slight hesitation.
The instant the Ice Sword Guard and other ferocious beasts were trapped, Alpha timely made the finishing move, leaving only two Ice Ghosts, three Ice Ghost Guards, and one Ice Sword Guard in the field.
Alpha, freely attack and dispose of them as quickly as possible.
Crackle, crackle.
(Understood, Master.)
Alpha pointed with his sword, took the initiative to attack his enemies. The giant filial piety sword in Alphas hand seemed to have no difference from Bone Daggers, easy and effortless to wield.
Inparison, Ice Ghost Guards and Ice Sword Guards who also held cold weaponsunched much cruder attacks. Except for when using skills which had a small effect on Alpha, their normal attacks were like children brandishing sticks, and were no threat.
As expected, the strongest offensive path was the king.
Easy peasy-
The sixth floor of the Lamentation Tower.
Xia Xuan looked at the three ferocious beasts before him, struggling under the barrage from his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, and a confident smile spread across his face.
Indeed, the changes on the sixth floor had surprised him, but the mere increase in numbers couldnt affect him much.
After all, his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus was equipped with a substantial amount ofrge-scale attack weapons, making it excellently suited for this kind of group battle.
Were it not for the low spirit level of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, which prevented it from handling excessively powerful weapons, he could have cleared this floor even faster.
But, it didnt matter.
Thinking of the twenty apprentice Beast Masters who werepeting against him for the ranking this time, Xia Xuan felt disdainful.
Ordinary citizens striving topete with him for the ranking? If it wasnt for his fathers concern about the bad impression it might create, he would have nned to reserve the whole ce.
The control over a Secret Realm Tower was much more valuable than any Soul Stone or Cold Spirit Iron.
Finally, under the relentless onught of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, the ferocious beasts of the sixth floor were all eliminated. But what appeared before Xia Xuan was not Cold Spirit Iron or anything more high-grade, but ten Soul Stones.
How could this be? Soul Stones should be only ordinary rewards. Could someone have cleared this floor before me?
The young master of Xias Group, the genius of Star Mechanics Academy, was stolen from in such a small ce as Gusu City?
Xia Xuan frowned, having difficulty understanding the reason.
He had been the first to clear the fifth floor, which meant no one had reached this far before him. The only one who might have been able to catch up with him would have been Han Wei.
But to think that Han Wei could clear the sixth floor before him, Xia Xuan found that hard to believe.
Xia Xuan wasnt interested in thinking too much about it. Seeing the entrance to the seventh floor appear, he didnt even bother to pick up the ten Soul Stones. He stepped right in.
The seventh floor.
As soon as Bai Qi entered the seventh floor, he felt a chilly wind strike his face. Even though he had put on his thermal clothes early, he couldnt help but shiver.
What kind of ce is this?
Bai Qi tightened his clothes, looking at the gloomy, pitch-ck graveyard before him, and found the master of this Secret Realm Tower even more unfathomable.
Just now he had been on an ice field, and now its suddenly a graveyard. It was like he was in some kind of horror movie.
Whoowhoowhoo
No sooner had this thought crossed Bai Qis mind than low, mournful wails echoed from the graveyard, giving him goosebumps.
But despite Bai Qis lengthy search, he could only hear the wailing swirling around him and couldnt locate its source at all.
I made a mistake. I should have brought that stupid dog along. He could havee in handy now.
In his haste to leave in the morning, Bai Qi had forgotten to bring his husky. Looking back on it now, it was indeed quite stupid.
Bai Qi and Alpha searched together for quite some time, but they couldnt find any trace of the enemy. Bai Qi was gradually losing his patience.
If I cant find you, then Ill just go for AOE attack.
Creaking creak.
(Copy that!)
The Fire of Soul in Alphas eyes surged as it once again unleashed the Ice Epoch. In an instant, a surge of ice flowers froze everything within a ten-meter radius. At the same time, a ghost wreathed in blue mes emerged from the ground just before it too was covered in ice..
Chapter 35 - 34: Ghostly Reflection
Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Ghostly Reflection
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi took out a monocle from his pocket and put it on to take a look at the Fire Wraith. Immediately, corresponding information appeared on the lens.
Originally, Bai Qi nned to buy a Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook first. Who could have imagined that President Qins secretary would deliver one over directly, saving him some money.
However, this design always reminded Bai Qi of an ape-hke creature that received a battle power rating of five for humans.
[Name]: Hellfire
[Race]: Soul Race
[Growth Level]: First Stage, four-level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: Ignition, Candle Soul, Wail
[Description]: A soul living in the Land of Death, its mes can cause both physical and mental damage to enemies.
The first six battles were against the Ice n and the Undead Department, but the seventh has switched to a fire attribute ghost of the Soul Race. Hmm, that makes perfect sense.
With a numb look at the drastically changed attributes of the enemy in front of him, Bai Qi said to Alpha, Alpha, be careful, physical attacks are useless against this one.
Creak, creak.
(Understood, master)
As a member of the Undead, Alpha naturally understood the peculiarities of the ghost.
Without a physical body, in a pure soul form, ordinary physical attacks could only look at them helplessly on the sidelines.
However, Alpha was not only capable of physical attacks.
Alpha nced at the Hellfire, which was still hovering outside the freezing area, brandished Frost Sorrow aggressively, and rushed forward, freezing everything in its path.
The Hellfire clearly had no intention of taking Alphas attack head-on. It danced around agilely in mid-air, constantly dodging Alphas strikes while looking for opportunities to touch Alpha, leaving me marks all over Alphas body.
Is this the Ignition?
[Skill Name]: Ignition
[Skill Description]: Touch the enemy to leave a mark. Once the umted energy of the mark reaches a certain point, it will ignite the ghost fire and burn the enemy.
It turned out to be a dyed skill.
Through the Soul Contract, Bai Qi sent Alpha a series ofmands. Alphas attacking approach suddenly changedpletely. It gave up defense entirely to attack the Hellfire with all its might.
Ahh!!!
Alphas fierce onught caused the Hellfire to be somewhat disoriented.
Suddenly a piercing wail came from its twisted body. Alphas Fire of Soul began to shake violently, and its movements stopped.
At the moment Alpha stopped, the Ignition marks that Hellfire had left earlier exploded simultaneously. A blue me engulfed Alpha instantly, gradually forming the image of a candle above its head.
[Skill Name]: Candle Soul
[Skill Description]: Use ones own soul as fuel to burn the enemy. The candle will not extinguish until one side exhausts its soul.
My goodness, is it nning a mutual destruction?
Its just showing confidence in its advantages as a Soul Race.
Bai Qis mouth twitched, his heart filled withints about Hellfires perverted skill, but he had no intention of ordering Alpha to resist. He just let the fire of Candle Soul slowly burn Alpha until there was not even a trace left.
Though affected by the Candle Soul, the Hellfire shrank significantly, but it seemed unaffected. It floated to where Alpha had disappeared, looking confused.
The Candle Soul might deplete its soul, but as long as it defeated its enemy, it could receive some feedback. However, it currently received nothing, leaving the Hellfire very puzzled.
Creak,creak!
(Witness my Shadow Lotus Skill!)
Just as Hellfire was confused, the ice surface where Alpha had disappeared suddenly shattered. Several icy blue bone spurs emerged from the ground, enclosing the Hellfire like a blooming flower.
The Hellfire attempted to escape upon witnessing this, but each of these bone spurs was wrapped in a thickyer of ice. Dark energies flowed within them, ignoring the mes surrounding the Hellfire and piercing into its body.
Ahhhll!
With a sharp cry, the body of the Hellfire suddenly exploded. Only when it was reduced to a small ball of me was it frozen by Alpha.
Crack,crack.
(Master, should we try this way?)
Alpha quickly returned to its normal state, cautiously dragging the core of the Hellfire over.
Can the Soul Race be looted too?
Looking at the small ball, that seemed to extinguish at any moment inside the chunk of ice, Bai Qi felt a wave of doubt. Still, he pressed his palm against it.
Crack.
Suddenly, several more cracks emerged on the Evolution Egg, the progress increased once again.
The Soul Race can indeed be looted!
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron Egg 68%)
[Condition]: Activated
The previous battles against the Ice Ghost Guard and the Ice Swords Guard each added five percent. Now, the Hellfire added another ten percent, and the Evolution Egg had been promoted by more than half.
ording to the current trend, the next upgrade was just around the corner. Bai Qi released his hand. Alpha then forcefully crushed the core of the Hellfire. A withered branch appeared on the empty space in front of them.
[Name]: Soul-nurturing Wood
[Description]: A branch from a special nt, it can enhance the spirit power of the Soul Race creatures and other creatures. However, it causes irreversible damage to creatures with life, use with caution.
The first-through reward for the sixth floor was Cold Spirit Iron. He had thought the seventh floor might have some fire attribute materials, but he didnt expect it to be a material for the Soul Race.
After seeing the description, Bai Qi immediately nned to monopolize it. But after seeing the additional information in the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook, he had to give up.
To enhance the soul by damaging the body, this thing was not meant for humans. Only lifeless undead could withstand it.
However, this is good for Alpha. Whether its the Skeletal Type or the Soul Race, the soul is vital.
Bai Qi put away the Soul-nurturing Wood, let Alpha rest for a while, and then continued to the next floor.
Having consecutively obtained the first-through rewards for the sixth and seventh floors, Bai Qi set his mind at ease since Xia Xuan should not be able to overtake him abruptly.
Here Ie, eighth floor!
Below the Lamentation Tower.
The gate opened with a huge noise, Xia Xuan and his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus appeared at the bottom of the tower, traces of scorching could still be seen on the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
The ferocious beast on the seventh floor suddenly became a Fire Attribute Undead. Xia Xuan had a hard time dealing with it because he had specially modified the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus ording to Ice n enemies.
The firepower of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus was indeed strong, but it had a disadvantage when dealing with the soulless Undead.
Xia Xuan? Why are youing down? Whos the one challenging the eighth floor?
On seeing Xia Xuans appearance, Han Wei looked at the eighth floor rune, still shing, with some doubt.
Hmph! I dont know!
Hearing Han Weis question, Xia Xuan coldly snorted and walked to one side without saying another word.
Could it be him?
Gao Cheng and Han Wei exchanged a nce, the figure of Bai Qi emerging in their minds at the same time.
Impossible! That guy only has a skeleton soldier, how could he reach the eighth floor!
Lu Yuan, who always maintained a cold attitude waiting for someone to strike up a conversation, finally couldnt resistmenting when he heard their conversation. This response left Gao Cheng rather baffled.
Skeleton soldier? Didnt Bai Qis pet beast be a Shadow Bone Spike?

Eighth floor of the Lamentation Tower.
ng, ng, ng!
Two long swords, one red and one blue, kept shing, sparking off shes of fire and frost. The stray waves of power from their duel resulted in Bai Qi running around for cover, an unwilling participant in the mayhem.
The beast of the eighth floor was an evolved form of Hellfire, a Hellfire Sword Demon.
[Name]: Hellfire Sword Demon
[Race]: Soul Race
[Evolution Level]: First Stage, four Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Racial skills]: Soul Burning Sword, Ignition, Intimidation
[Introduction]: A ghost controlling fire, condensed its body around a long sword, its greatest strength came from its greatest weakness.
Although it was still at the first stage, the Hellfire Sword Demons race level had stepped up a tier, bing a lord-level monster.
Lord, as the name suggests, had the qualifications tomand elites and the servant-level of the same race beasts. The most striking evidence was thepulsory skill Intimidation.
It was precisely because of this skill, Alpha, for the first time, couldnt utilize its advantage in speed and could only opt for a head-on collision with the Hellfire Sword Demon.
Fortunately, Alphas strength wasntcking either, in fact, it exceeded Bai Qis expectations. It wasnt at a disadvantage for the time being.
It was just that the currents of their duel were strong and turbulent. If Bai Qi hadnt run fast, he might already have been involved in the crossfire.
Bai Qi nced at the surroundings which were as fiery as a volcano mouth, then at Alpha, whose ice armor showed signs of melting. He knew that this couldnt go on, so he gave Alpha a new instruction.
Alpha, one all-out attack!
Crackle, crackle!
(Understood!)
Alpha received the instruction. It abandoned defense and gathered all its energy into the Ice Sword. Then, with a sh, it struck a heavy blow on the Hellfire Sword Demon.
This blow carried all of Alphas strength. Its speed and momentum were incredibly fast, but gave away room for attack.
The Hellfire Sword Demon seized the opportunity. It side-stepped and stabbed out with its sword.
Alphas ice armor cracked, revealing ayer of blue bones beneath.
With a jingle sound, Alphas bones, now stronger than steel, resisted the Hellfire Sword Demons attack without any damage.
The Sword Demon, who had also lost its defense, was cut in half by Alpha. The transparent body rapidly retreated towards the fire sword as if it were liquid.
The Sword Demons main body was therge sword condensed with fire essence. As long as it returned to therge sword, it could regenerate itself quickly in this environment.
Just in the instant when the soul of the Sword Demon returned to the fire sword, Alpha grabbed the sword hilt. A strong electric current released from its gloves and enveloped the fire sword.
Ahhh!!!
With a scream, the Hellfire Sword Demon lost itsbat power temporarily. Alpha immediately carried the Hellfire Sword Demon to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi grabbed the fire sword, and the bar of the Evolution Egg instantly surged by 20%, reaching 88%.
The Lord indeed gave a lot more than the elite, even if it was a low-level Lord.
Looking at the Beast Control Space, Bai Qi saw the ck giant egg that had already cracked open, he nodded in satisfaction.
He originally thought it would take a lot of effort to evolve again, but now it seemed that it should be no problem.
I wonder how much progress the beast of the next level could provide. It would befortable if it is also 20%.
Bai Qi handed the fire sword back to Alpha. Looking at Alpha holding an ice sword in one hand and a fire sword in the other hand, he suddenly had another idea.
Pity that the fire sword was the Hellfire Sword Demons main body, it couldnt be kept. Otherwise, it could have stayed for Alpha to use it as a standby weapon.
Then, Alpha would have Frost Sorrow in one hand and Fire Joy in the other.
A double swords berserker, YYDS!
The effects of the strong electrical current didntst long, and the Hellfire Sword Demon quickly showed signs of recovery, with the surrounding fire gradually converging towards the fire sword under its attraction.
Crack crack.
(Alpha, I dont like it this hot.)
Alpha transmitted a strong feeling of dislike and swung the filial piety sword, slicing the fire sword into two.
The teleportation circle slowly appeared, and a noticeably superior piece of Soul-nurturing Wood appeared in front of Bai Qi.
Finally, thest challenge.
Bai Qi let out a deep breath, suppressing his excitement as he lumped the
Soul-nurturing Wood and the Cold Spirit Iron he obtained from the sixth level into Alphas hands.
After that, Bai Qi used the Evolution Egg again.
Alpha had climbed from the first level all the way up to the eighth, consuming a significant amount of energy. The Evolution Egg could help Alpha recover from injuries and restore energy.
This was essentially using Bai Qis physical and spiritual energy to replenish Alphas magic.
Once the ck Iron Egg was formed, Bai Qi moved to one side and began to meditate.
This was something Bai Qi learned over the past few days: after using the Evolution Egg and then meditating, the efficiency of increasing his spiritual power would improve significantly.
Anyway, he had nothing to do for this hour, so he might as well.
If this were the outside world, he might not be in the mood to meditate.
An hour passed quickly, and Bai Qi and Alpha awoke together and entered the teleportation circle.
After everything spun around, Bai Qi arrived at the ninth level.
There was no Ice Field, no graveyard, no volcano spewing magma.
Only a ck door, somewhat familiar in its design.
In front of the door, a red key was suspended silently in mid-air.
The ninth level was just like this?
Where was the legendary boss?
Where was the first-clear reward?
What about the inheritance rights of the Secret Realm Tower?
I am going to report this, the heartless game master is withholding benefits for the yers!
Bai Qi instantly turned into ainer, cursing at the Secret Realm.
After a round ofining, Bai Qi eventually cooled down, walked over to the key, and tried to grasp it.
Immediately, a flood of information rushed into Bai Qis mind, and at the same time, a red fruit fell from the sky andnded in front of him.
But the current Bai Qi had no mood to care about this fruit, all his attention was immersed in the information brought by the key.
This owner of the Lamentation Tower, he really knows how to have fun!
Below the Lamentation Tower.
Gao Cheng was pacing anxiously at the entrance, while Lu Yuan was looking conflicted, staring unblinkingly at the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower.
He didnt particrly care about Bai Qi, he just needed to confirm how strong Bai Qi had be.
A Beast Master who had just contracted a skeleton soldier a month ago could now climb to the ninth level?
Even if that skeleton soldier had mutated, this was way too exaggerated.
Finally, after waiting for what seemed like forever, the runes of the ninth level solidifiedpletely, and Bai Qis figure appeared at the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower.
Following behind him was Alpha, who waspletely enveloped in Ice Armor.
This guys beast, is it really not a Shadow Bone Spike (Skeleton Soldier)?!

Trantor: 549690339
Huh? Why are you all looking at me?¡±
Bing the sudden focus of attention, Bai Qi felt a bit dumbstruck.
Gao Cheng, who was rtively familiar with Bai Qi, rushed to Bai Qi¡¯s side, pointed at the fully lit Lamentation Tower and asked hesitantly: ¡°Uh, Bai Qi, did you defeat the ferocious beast of the ninth level?¡±
¡°Probably, I guess so.¡±
Bai Qi wasn¡¯t sure how to answer Gao Cheng¡¯s question. If possessing the key counted, then he should have indeed defeated it.
With Bai Qi¡¯s confirmation, everyone present gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief. However, they chose to believe.
After all, the twenty people who were qualified to challenge the Lamentation Tower were all here, and everyone else had failed before Bai Qi showed up. Other than Bai Qi, there was no one else.
Are you really Bai Qi? Is this your pet beast?¡±
Gao Cheng was somewhat speechless, while Lu Yuan still had a skeptical attitude. He couldn¡¯t connect the ice-armored swordsman behind Bai Qi with the skeleton soldier from before, no matter how he tried.
Could mechanical modifications also change the attribute?
Bai Qi nced at the bewildered Lu Yuan, nodded puzzledly and said, ¡°What else could it be? Didn¡¯t we meet during practice? Was it injured?¡± nj ii
Lu Yuan was at a loss for words, not knowing where to start, while Gao Cheng found it hard to watch and said, ¡°Can¡¯t me him, who would expect your, urn pet beast to have undergone such a drastic change in appearance.¡±
¡°But, I remember your pet beast to be the Shadow Bone Spike. How did it transform into this?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°Oh you mean this, Alpha obtained a piece of Cold Spirit Iron after challenging the Lamentation Tower, and for some reason it evolved again.¡±
With Alpha¡¯s rapid transformation, Bai Qi was toozy to exin and attributed everything to the Lamentation Tower.
¡°I see, no wonder you stayed atop for so long.¡±
Gao Cheng had an epiphany, but after seeing Alpha¡¯s drastically altered appearance and aura, he couldn¡¯t help but feel envious.
If Lu Yuan wasn¡¯t mistaken, then Bai Qi¡¯s pet beast had undergone racial evolution twice within a month or so?
And it looked like the strength was considerable?
Was he really a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department and not a descendant of a great beast trainer?
All right, all right, let¡¯s disperse. Those who want to continue the challenge can continue, those who are not interested can leave first.¡±
President Qin had informed the instructor about Bai Qi¡¯s identity beforehand. Seeing Bai Qi being surrounded, the instructor timely stepped forward to help Bai Qi wrap up.
¡°Bai Qi, you are the first person to pass all nine levels. I need to take you to President Qin right away. Come with me.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head. Even if the instructor hadn¡¯t mentioned it, there were things Bai Qi wanted to confirm with President Qin.
Besides, he was genuinely scared of the fervently hot gazes of these people. ¡°Hold on!¡±
Xia Xuan, who had been alone, suddenly stood in front of Bai Qi, scrutinizing him with a probing look.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Although Bai Qi and Xia Xuan were students of the Star Mechanics Academy, they were not familiar with each other.
After all, to Xia Xuan, Bai Qi, who had not awakened his talent, was unworthy of his notice.
And Bai Qi, likewise, had no interest in brown-nosing Xia Xuan.
In response to Bai Qi¡¯sment, Xia Xuan instinctively felt annoyed, his face turned cold, and he said, ¡°I heard you made a pact just a month ago, and now you can pass this Secret Realm Tower, I find it hard to believe.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ Whether you believe it or not doesn¡¯t seem to matter, does it?¡± Bai Qi pointed at the Lamentation Tower behind him, looking puzzled, and said, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first. You can continue the challenge.¡± ¡°No, I intend to verify your true strength personally.¡±
¡°I challenge you to a duel!¡±
¡°Do you dare to ept?¡±
Looking at Xia Xuan¡¯s eager face, Bai Qi was even more baffled.
Did he offend him?
Are the hearts of the rich so fragile?
Bai Qi turned his seeking help gaze towards the instructor, who, to his surprise, was quite interested. The instructor stepped forward saying, ¡°Since you both want to challenge, I can act as the referee.¡±
Brother, didn¡¯t you just say you were going to see President Qin right away? How did that change?
¡°Everyone disperse, disperse.¡±
Seeing the instructor agree to the duel, the ever-enthusiastic Han Wei immediately began to organize the people around him to make room for the two to fight. The instructor also stepped aside, signaling the two to get ready. How could a fight suddenly start¡
Bai Qi let out a helpless sigh, having no choice but to ept Xia Xuan¡¯s challenge.
¡°I agree, but I want to increase the stakes. I bet the first-through reward of your fifth level.¡±
Bai Qi had always been unhappy about not receiving the fifth level¡¯s reward.
Now that Xia Xuan had brought it up, Bai Qi naturally couldn¡¯t let the opportunity slip by.
I don¡¯t care. You can have it if you want as long as you agree to fight me.¡±
Nonchntly, Xia Xuan took out three pieces of Cold Spirit Iron and handed them to the instructor. Bai Qi also took out an equal amount of Cold Spirit Iron for the bet.
¡°Alright, let it be a swift and decisive battle!¡±
¡°Ahem, in principle, gambling is not allowed in a duel, but today is a special case, so we will make an exception.¡±
The instructor took the Cold Spirit Iron, seeing that both of them had summoned their pet beasts, he waved his hand to signal the start of the match.
¡°Let thepetition begin!¡±
As soon as the instructor¡¯s words fell, Alpha turned into a blurring shadow and disappeared. When it reappeared, it already stood atop of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast¡¯s head, its broad filial piety sword pressing against the beast¡¯s skull. It could prate the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast¡¯s skull at any time if Alpha desired.
While the Mechanical Beast Control didn¡¯t have the same organ structure as traditional Beast Control, vulnerable parts still existed, namely, the intelligentputer that housed the soul of the Mechanical Beast Control.
Although Bai Qi had never contracted a Mechanical Beast, as a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department, he instantly identified the location of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast¡¯s brain.
Such a close distance, even if the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast¡¯s firepower
was strong, it would be toote to employ.
¡°This speed, how is this possible!¡±
Seeing Alpha swiftly overpower his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast, Xia Xuan clearly found it hard to ept. On the other hand, Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng, who had trained with Bai Qi andpleted tasks together, were somewhat indifferent.
Seeing the astonished expressions around them, Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng both
felt a bit of disdain rising in their hearts.
It is all about running a bit faster, it¡¯s not a big deal. These people haven¡¯t seen much.
¡°This speed, can my Wind Demon Wolf catch up?¡±
Han Wei¡¯s Wind Demon Wolf was also known for its speed. Compared to others, he felt the pressure more directly, but couldn¡¯t help feeling anxious.
However, seeing the frustration and disbelief in Xia Xuan¡¯s eyes, Han Wei¡¯s mood suddenly improved.
Being able to see the young master of the Xia family suffer a loss, this was indeed a huge gain!

¡°I was¡ instantly killed?¡±
Seeing Alpha hit the vital spot of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus in an instant, a trace of disbelief shed in Xia Xuan¡¯s eyes. But thinking of the special metal used on the head of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, his confidence promptly inted again.
¡°So what if you found the brain? You think you can break through it?¡± ¡°Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, lock onto him!¡±
Roar!
Responding to themand, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus went on a mechanical rampage. All kinds of guns suddenly appeared, pinpointing Alpha, who was on its head.
Even with Alpha¡¯s speed, it couldn¡¯t escape from the firing range of the
Mechanical Tyrannosaurus at such close quarters.
¡°Who said I wanted to attack its head? Am I that bored?¡¯
Bai Qi nced at Xia Xuan oddly, waved his hand, and Alpha struck with his sword.
However, the target was not the head of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, but the neck hidden beneath countless cannons.
¡®Lt.T.¡¯L¡
The filial piety sword easily tore open the metal shell and conveniently severed the wires inside. Electricity stuttered out, and the tyrannosaur¡¯s body started to twitch erratically.
¡°Is that about everything?¡±
Bai Qi looked to the instructor standing off to one side, but the instructor didn¡¯t seem ready to end things just yet, and remained silent. On the other side, Xia Xuan was still hastily issuing newmands to the Mechanical
Tyrannosaurus.
¡°How troublesome.¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat speechless at the sight, and Alpha, picking up on Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, urately sabotaged a few more key points on the Mechanical
Tyrannosaurus.
Boom!
The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, shaped after the bulky Tyrannosaurus, could no longer support its immense body and crashed to the ground. Its myriad cannons were frozen over by ayer of frost, and were temporarily silenced.
¡°I¡ admit¡ defeat!¡±
At this point, Xia Xuan had no dignity left to persist and quickly admitted defeat, intending to leave without hesitation.
¡°Hold up!¡±
At that moment, Bai Qi suddenly called out to Xia Xuan. In the curious eyes of the onlookers around, he slowly walked towards the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus. Withplete solemnity, he touched his right hand to the tyrannosaur¡¯s head.
Was he nning to give Xia Xuan some advice?
Indeed, it made sense. As an engineering and martial arts student who managed to pinpoint the Tyrannosaurus¡¯s weak point, it was normal for Bai Qi to have some ideas.
Xia Xuan seemed to have the same thoughts as well. He looked slightly reluctant and was about to throw out some titudes but noticed a strange expression on Bai Qi¡¯s face.
Was that¡ contempt?
¡°It¡¯s fine now. You can go.¡±
Bai Qi scrunched his face in distaste, ignoring Xia Xuan altogether.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron Egg 98%)
[Condition]: Activated
It only increased by ten percent. This Mechanical Tyrannosaurus is indeed only at the elite-level. The final two percent is going to be a tough one.
Should I challenge the rest and take advantage by growing my beast?
That seems feasible.
Subjected to Bai Qi¡¯s dangerous gaze, everyone involuntarily shuddered, unconsciously stepping back.
¡ö¡öAlright, now that the fight is over, Bai Qi,e with me. President Qin should be getting anxious.¡±
Now you mention President Qin¡¯s impatience, what were you doing before? Bai Qi pulled a disgusted face, but obediently recalled Alpha to the Beast Control Space, mounting the instructor¡¯s Arctic Ice Wolf.
¡°Hold tight!¡±
Before Bai Qi could properly sit, the instructor tapped the Arctic Ice Wolf, and in an instant, the two men and a wolf turned into a streak of light that disappeared from the spot.
And Xia xuan was left standing there, mouth agape. Bai Qi¡¯s final look of contempt echoed in his mind.
My meticulously designed work was rejected by amoner?
¡°Um, Senior Gao, are you familiar with Bai Qi? I want him to help modify my
pet beast.¡±
The speaker was Lu Yuan, who was increasingly undecided.
¡°We¡¯re not very close, and I also want to¡
Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi¡¯s face was pale. The moment the Arctic Ice Wolf stopped, he jumped down and began to vomit in a corner.
Seeing this, the instructor couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°Young man, you need to exercise more. With such a constitution, it¡¯s very dangerous to go out in the wild in the future.¡±
On hearing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. He wiped his mouth and didn¡¯t bother to rebut.
Riding a wolf and drifting, do you think you¡¯re delivering tofu? ¡°Alright, President Qin is waiting for you upstairs, I won¡¯t go up. I have to keep an eye on the Lamentation Tower.¡±
The instructor patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and then quickly drove away on the Arctic Ice Wolf, causing amotion on the road as he went.
Bai Qi entered the association and went straight to President Qin¡¯s office.
Inside, he found another person.
¡°YOU finished your challenge, Bai Qi? Perfect, let me introduce you. This is Luo Xiang, the examiner sent by the association headquarters.
¡°Hello.¡±
Bai Qi greeted Luo Xiang first, but Luo Xiang didn¡¯t seem to like the courtesy, waved his hand and said, ¡°No need for that, let¡¯s start the test.¡±
With that, Luo Xiang threw a Rubik¡¯s cube to Bai Qi.
¡°Solve this Rubik¡¯s cube, and you¡¯ll have passed the exam.
¡°Just like that?¡±
¡°Just like that!¡±
Bai Qi skeptically looked at President Qin and only started to study the Rubik¡¯s cube when President Qin nodded.
This was an ordinary three-level Rubik¡¯s cube, but instead of each side being a solid color, there were messy runes all over. Obviously, it was deliberately scrambled.
But Bai Qi didn¡¯t care. Compared to the bizarre codes he faced daily at his mechanical martial school, these runes were decidedly simple.
After a dizzying round of operations, Bai Qi quickly solved the Rubik¡¯s cube and returned it to Luo Xiang.
¡°Ignoring the limitations of the runes on the cube, you indeed possess that special talent.¡±
Luo Xiang nced at the Rubik¡¯s cube, satisfiedly nodded his head, and extended his hand, saying, ¡°Congrattions on joining the Beast Master Association¡¯s Special Talent Training Program.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Although he found it rushed, Bai Qi was quite delighted. He shook Luo Xiang¡¯s hand firmly.
¡°Haha¡ not bad, not bad, our Gusu City is about to have another talent.¡± President Qinughed loudly, ¡°Spend some time training at the Beast Master Association, strive to pass the ninth level as soon as possible. We can¡¯t let other city¡¯s Beast Masters have advantage over us.¡±
¡°Lao Qin you are stingy, Bai Qi¡¯s level is too low. His top priority is to learn about rune knowledge with me. As soon as he graduates and can decipher a few secret realm towers.¡±
¡°NO, no, Bai Qi is still an apprentice Beast Master. His foundation is not steady, mastering the basics first.¡±
¡°No need to hurry on that, which talent n member actually mastered basics responsibly.¡±
¡°No, no¡¡±
Both were busy arguing,pletely ignoring Bai Qi.
¡°Well, I¡¯ve already passed the ninth level.¡±
¡°Wait a minute. Let the two of us¡ Wait, what did you just say?
¡°I passed.¡±

President Qin walked up to Bai Qi, and earnestly asked, ¡°Bai Qi, could you repeat that?¡±
Reluctantly, Bai Qi sighed, took out the key and the fruit he had obtained after clearing the tower, and said, ¡°I said, I cleared the tower, and this key was acquired on the ninth floor.¡±
Bai Qi briefly informed Qin Jiang and Luo Xiang of his encounter on the ninth floor, which caused their expressions to change instantly.
¡°Combination-type Secret Realm Tower!¡±
The two exchanged nces, both seeing the surprise and delight on the other¡¯s face.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯ve made a significant contribution this time. As soon as I go back, I¡¯ll apply for your reward!¡±
Luo Xiang suddenly found this neer who had just joined the n to be remarkably pleasing to the eye. He patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder vigorously and said, ¡°How about it, are you interested in going with me to the headquarters for further development?¡±
¡°Get lost! Bai Qi is a member of our Gusu City branch. You better stop scheming.¡±
President Qin shielded Bai Qi behind him warily, saying, ¡°Let me warn you, don¡¯t teach Bai Qi your bad habits.¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged indifferently and stopped talking, but his gaze on Bai Qi remained somewhat strange.
¡°So, what is a Combination-type Secret Realm Tower?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask his own question.
He had heard of trial andbat-type secret realm towers, but this was his first time hearing of abination type.
¡°Bai Qi, you should know that the Secret Realm Towers are transformed from Legendary Beastmasters¡¯ Beast Control Spaces, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, this wasmon knowledge, and so he naturally understood.
¡°Do you know that some Beast Masters can incorporate other people¡¯s Secret Realm Towers into their own?¡±
Luo Xiang grinned mysteriously, leaving Bai Qi somewhat bewildered.
One can do that? Aren¡¯t the Secret Realm Towers unique?
¡°Ahem¡. This is an exceptional case, and saying that it¡¯s one in ten thousand is still being conservative, so Bai Qi, don¡¯t be surprised.¡±
Qin Jiang timely exined, ¡°But abination-type Secret Realm Tower is indeed very rare, the more it isbined, the higher the value.¡±
¡°Moreover, only after clearing the levels can you know if there are other towers thereafter. So for now, I also cannot assess the value of this tower.¡±
¡°Maybe, whoever clears the next tower will directly acquire the inheritance rights of all the Secret Realm Towers.¡±
Upon hearing Qin Jiang¡¯s description, Bai Qi understood immediately.
After clearing one level, you enter the next, it¡¯s like a set of nesting dolls, just like his Evolution Egg.
¡°Bai Qi, have you told anyone else about this?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°Aftering out, I was immediately brought here by the instructor. Well, no, I also had a battle with someone in between, other than that, nothing.¡±
¡°Alright, that¡¯s good.¡±
Qin Jiang nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just reach Level Nine of the Zero Stage? How did you clear it?¡±
¡°I¡¯m curious as well, as far as I know, the fourth floor is ten Ice Ghosts. The challenge of the Secret Realm Tower is quite high.¡±
Luo Xiang was also quite curious, saying, ¡°I heard that your pet was a mutant species of Shadow Bone Spike. Although it is decent, it should still be quite challenging to clear the levels.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ Because my pet evolved again.¡±
Bai Qi summoned Alpha again. The sight of the Ice Shadow Swordsman even surprised Qin Jiang and Luo Xiang.
The two looked at each other, mutual astonishment on their faces.
In this day and age, is racial evolution so easy?
¡°Let¡¯s continue our discussion about the Combination-type Secret Realm Tower.¡±
President Qin forcibly changed the subject and returned the red key to Bai Qi, asking, ¡°Have you tried to open that door?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°I tried, but it was no use. That door can only be opened by a Second Stage Beast Master. My level isn¡¯t high enough.¡±
So it was true.
After reflecting for a moment, President Qin looked towards Luo Xiang and said, ¡°Luo Xiang, go back to the headquarters and check the information on the Lamentation Tower. It¡¯s not often in history to see someone transforming a Combination-type Secret Realm into a trial tower.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s no problem, but aren¡¯t you afraid of those guys in the headquarters hatching some schemes?¡±
A smile surfaced on President Qin¡¯s face as he said, ¡°Let them scheme. As long as the headquarters demand it, I can even give them the control of the Lamentation Tower, but the key to enter the next tower is Bai Qi¡¯s private property, and I can¡¯t make decisions regarding that.¡±
It seems this key is rather valuable, huh?
A scarcemodity?
Upon understanding the meaning behind President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi carefully put away the key. Then, shaking the red fruit in his hand, he asked, ¡°What about this fruit? Is it also expensive?¡±
His Pokedex was only at an internship level and didn¡¯t have much information, so he didn¡¯t find any relevant information.
But considering it was a first clearance reward from the ninth level, he figured it would be of high value.
¡°Sun me Fruit, a Beast Master who eats it can improve their physique, but it¡¯s only useful for apprentice Beast Masters, not too valuable. However, it¡¯s nearly extinct outside, so if you sell it, you should be able to get a good price.¡±
Luo Xiang, with his extensive knowledge and experience, recognized the origin of the fruit just by looking at it a few times.
Can improve physique? Then it absolutely can¡¯t be sold!
The Evolution Egg has a great demand on physical strength. Although Bai Qi¡¯s physical condition had improved under its torment recently, it was still somewhat inadequate.
Now that he has something that can improve his physique, Bai Qi was reluctant to sell it.
President Qin asked Bai Qi for some information on the monsters in the different levels of the Lamentation Tower, saying, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already cleared the Lamentation Tower, you should focus on improving your strength. By my calctions, you should be able to make it for the professional assessment at the end of the month.¡±
Due to the Lamentation Tower, the Gusu City Beastmaster Association had deliberately postponed the professional assessment initially scheduled in mid-June. The intention was naturally to allow the Gusu City Beast Masters to concentrate on climbing the tower.
However, it seems to be irrelevant now.
¡°Alright, I am also nning to focus on training Alpha.¡±
Alpha¡¯s evolution was rapid, and the proficiency for several skills he had learned was quite low.
While his current strength wasmendable, the world was vast and there would certainly be people who could contract stronger Beasts. At that time, skill proficiency would be key.
He wondered whether the Evolution Egg at the next level had the ability to enhance proficiency.
After bidding farewell to President Qin and Luo Xiang, Bai Qi hurriedly returned home.
The 20 million dors had already been credited to his ount, but the discount that President Qin mentioned hadn¡¯t arrived yet, so Bai Qi resisted the urge to shop and concentrated solely on training Alpha.
But now, having already cleared the Lamentation Tower and unable to explore the next tower for the time being, the pressing matter was to rapidly improve his and Alpha¡¯s level.
As for how to do it?
Now that he had money, it was obviously straightforward.
Buy! Buy! Buy!

Who Want to Harm the Dog
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi rushed home, nced at the huskyfortably cooling itself on top of an ice block, and then went to his bedroom to start a shopping spree.
It had to be said that the benefits of this special talent nurturing program were really good. The items sold on the Association¡¯s website were already affordable, and now they were offering a 30% discount.
¡°Huh¡ let¡¯s see, God¡¯s Water is 14,000 Federal Coins after the discount. Is selling it by the box cheaper? Let¡¯s go with ten boxes for now!¡±
¡°Hmm, Angel Fruit, I haven¡¯t seen this before. Its effects are even stronger than God¡¯s Water! Each one sells for 500,000, a bit expensive but I¡¯ll buy a few to prepare for Alpha¡¯s racial evolution.¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t hesitate to buy arge number of supplements and some mechanical materials before exiting the website.
¡°Phew- I spent 10 million dors just like that?¡±
Half of his 20 million Federal Coins was spent in no time, Bai Qi was quite impressed by his own shopping capabilities.
But, man, it felt good to splurge-
Bai Qi nced at his remaining robust bnce, resisting the urge to continue shopping, and closed the webpage.
Although the money came easy, there were many more expenses in the future. Better to spend sparingly.
After all, the cost of learning Mechanical Martial Arts was not small.
Next, Bai Qi took out the Sun me Fruit and examined it carefully.
The whole Sun me Fruit was red, clear and lustrous, as if a me was burning within it.
Wonder what it tastes like.
The fruit was not big, Bai Qi swallowed the whole Sun me Fruit in one gulp.
Oh, a mixture of sour and sweet, much tastier than a tomato.
Bai Qi savoured the vor, feeling a bit unsatisfied. Afterwards, he felt a warm current flowed through his body,pletely dispelling his fatigue.
Other than that, there were no other changes.
Could it have expired from waiting too long?
With doubt in his mind, Bai Qi summoned Alpha to use the Evolution Egg once more.
His physical stamina and spirit power were quickly depleted, but without the previous weakness, he only felt slightly dizzy.
¡°Not bad, barely passable.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, drank a bottle of the Nutrient Solution to replenish his energy, then headed towards his workshop.
Previously, due to budget constraints, the equipment Alpha used for training was only a piece of junk that had been discarded. Now that Bai Qi had money, it was natural to redesign a piece for Alpha.
Alpha¡¯s rate of evolution was too fast, and its skill proficiency always couldn¡¯t keep up. The Association¡¯s training grounds were not open 24/7, so Bai Qi could only design a set by himself.
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang just as Bai Qi was halfway through his blueprint.
¡°Is it delivered already?¡±
He ordered only a little more than half an hour ago, and they already delivered it? This speed of delivery deserved a five-star review!
Bai Qi opened the door and was greeted with the sight of a massive griffin.
¡°Hello, ShunTong Express at your service, here is your delivery.¡±
[Name]: Gale Wing
[Nature]: Flying system
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Racial skills]: Storm assault, Intimidation, Crazy w Strike
[Introduction]: Griffin that rides the wild winds and soars in the sky, extremely fast in flight
Using a low-level Lord to deliver packages, are all courierpanies operating at this level now?
Bai Qi looked at the griffin behind the delivery guy and couldn¡¯t help but make a sarcasticment in his mind. The delivery guy seemed to understand Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts and exined, ¡°I¡¯m just joking, the Association wouldn¡¯t trust the internal products to be transported by other courierpanies, we have our own channels.¡±
I see, that makes sense.
However, it seems a waste to just let this Lord creature that was delivered to the door fly away.
Lv You unloaded the God¡¯s Water and Angel Fruit from the Gale Wing¡¯s back, all preserved in a refrigerated box. Bai Qi saw the opportunity, went to help, and touched the Gale Wing.
Roar!
The Gale Wing clearly didn¡¯t like being touched by a stranger and couldn¡¯t help but let out a low roar.
¡°Sorry, my Gale Wing is a bit shy. I can handle this.¡±
Lv You quickly apologized to Bai Qi, unloaded all the goods, and said, ¡°Here are your God¡¯s Water and Angel Fruit. The rest of the mechanical materials will be sent over by a dedicated vehicle in a while, make sure to ept the delivery.¡±
¡°Alright, thank you for your hard work.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, watched as Lv You disappeared into the horizon, and carried all the items back into the house. Afterward, he began to check the condition of the Evolution Egg.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (ck Iron Egg, 99%plete)
[Condition]: Activated
In the Beast Control Space, thest intact shell of the Evolution Egg also broke open. From the cracks, one could faintly see the bronze light seeping out. However, the progress of the Evolution Egg was stuck at 99%.
Based on past experiences, a low-level Lord should be able to provide a progress of 20%, why was it only 1%?
Would it be stuck for several years like before?
¡°Do I need to go find a mutant species to evolve the egg again?¡±
Thinking of the previous method to activate the Golden Finger, Bai Qi suddenly felt a headacheing on.
Although he encountered two mutant species within a short month, normally, mutant species were not something you could juste across.
At least, among the people Bai Qi knew, it seemed that only he possessed a mutant species.
If only he knew, he wouldn¡¯t have evolved the husky so early.
Bai Qi withdrew his consciousness from the Beast Control Space, looked at the contented husky and decided not to worry about these problems for now.
As for the issue with the mutant species, he could ask President Qin if there was a solution when the time came.
If all else fails, he could find an excuse to activate the contract on President Qin¡¯s beast, that might work too.
The most pressing matter was to quicklyplete the training facilities for Alpha, then be a Second Stage Beast Master as soon as possible, and contract the husky.
Bai Qi was pretty sure his second beast would be the husky, so he asionally increased the husky¡¯s attributes when Alpha was absorbing the residual energy from the ck Iron Egg.
Mutant species were rare, and Bai Qi wasn¡¯t going to let the husky go that easily.
Moreover, this dummy¡¯s mutation was probably rted to its sensory abilities.
Having a radar pet that could even sense the appearance of the Secret Realm Tower, Bai Qi felt confident wherever he went.
As for weakbat capabilities¡
Hehe-
Could it be weaker than Alpha when it first contracted?
That said, it¡¯s about time to put the husky¡¯s enhancement n on the agenda
A fusion product of energy mechanics and flesh and blood creatures, this dummy had much more operability than Alpha.
Oooh?
(Recently, I¡¯ve been feeling like there are viins who want to harm dogs?)
The husky, which had been sleeping in the pile of ice, suddenly woke up and looked around suspiciously. After making sure there were no dangers, itid back down,pletely unaware that someone had set their sights on it..
Chapter 41 - 40: Transformation = Evolution?
Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Transformation = Evolution?
Trantor: 549690339
Zizz-zizz.
Inside Bai Qi¡¯s home workshop, he held an electric soldering iron, tinkering with something. The husky was quietly squatting beside him, watching his operations.
¡°Number two screwdriver.¡±
After putting down the electric soldering iron, Bai Qi ordered the husky who obediently lifted its right leg. A screwdriver extended from inside its mechanical prosthetic limb and quickly spun, aimed at a screw.
¡°Phew- It¡¯s finally done.¡±
After removing his goggles, Bai Qi looked at the formidable new Steel Training Dummy in front of him and nodded satisfactorily.
The previous Steel Training Dummy had been dismantled by the husky beyond repair. Bai Qi didn¡¯t bother to fix it. Furthermore, ever since Alpha evolved into the Ice Shadow Swordsman, the previous Steel Training Dummy could hardly inflict any harm anymore, and the efficiency of training had naturally declined.
But the one now was different. It used higher-level materials and the power system, and even Alpha¡¯s attack mode was upgraded.
Bai Qi took out a remote control and made the Steel Training Dummy 1.0 Version move to the yard, facing Alpha who was training on the speed of his Ice Armor condensation, he said, ¡°Alpha,e and try.¡±
Alpha halted his training and looked at the shiny metal cylinder in front of him, puzzled.
tter-tter.
(Master, is this a new training equipment?)
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, just like before.¡±
Alpha nodded, walked in front of the Steel Training Dummy, and readied himself, and Bai Qi pressed the first button.
Rumble¡
Tens of steel rods extended out from the Steel Training Dummy and started spinning rapidly like propellers.
Alpha tried to resist forcefully as before, but he didn¡¯tst long before cracks appeared on his ice-blue skeleton, but they quickly healed.
¡°Alpha, try it with the Ice Sword.¡±
Seeing that Alpha was slowly adapting to the rhythm of the Steel Training Dummy, Bai Qi immediately pressed the second button.
Tens of differently shaped des drilled out from the steel rods, which either protruded or rotated, initiating an attack on Alpha. Before Alpha could condense his Ice Sword, his arm was broken by a rapidly rotating Wolf¡¯s Tooth Stick.
Steel Training Dummy ¨C Unmatched Mode!
tter-tter.
(Master, I wasn¡¯t ready yet.)
Alpha reattached his severed arm and said to Bai Qi.
Ever since he evolved into the Ice Shadow Swordsman, Alpha¡¯s emotions had grown richer, and now, he even started to experience feelings of grievance.
¡°You¡¯ll have to get used to it. Battles in the wild won¡¯t give you time to prepare like other bouts.¡±
Bai Qi earnestly lectured Alpha who obediently nodded, then heposed himself and continued to struggle with Steel Training Dummy 1.0.
¡°No wonder martial arts novels always say that people with simple thoughts learn faster than others. There¡¯s some truth to that.¡±
Bai Qi watched Alpha, who was gradually getting into the swing of things, very pleased. Finally, he turned his gaze onto the husky.
Awoo?
(Human, what are you plotting this time?)
Feeling Bai Qi¡¯s gaze, the husky immediately became alert.
Thest time Bai Qi looked at him this way, his mechanical prosthetic limb ended up with a bunch of jumbled tools, and it had been thoroughly turned into Bai Qi¡¯s tool dog.
Why didn¡¯t it resist?
Please remove the electrical device from its prosthetic limb before you talk to me.
¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to upgrade you.¡±
Bai Qi squatted down and checked the integration of the husky¡¯s mechanical prosthetic limb and flesh.
Out of fear of causing adverse reactions, Bai Qi didn¡¯t install any weapons, but settled for some tools instead.
The oue seemed good so far. The husky could control tools inside for some simple operations.
It proved that his idea of using biological nerves to control energy machinery was feasible.
As forplicated actions, the connection between the husky and the mechanical prosthetic limb was inadequate for the husky to carry them out yet.
But Bai Qi was in no hurry. After a few more evolutions, the bond between the machinery and flesh would intensify, and things should improve significantly.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
A series of hurried doorbell rings reverberated. Bai Qi, who was preparing to use the Evolution Egg on the husky, had to stop abruptly.
¡°I haven¡¯t ordered anything these days. Who could be looking for me?¡±
While muttering, Bai Qi opened the front door. He was a bit puzzled to see that Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan were standing at the doorway.
¡°Brother Gao, Lu Yuan, how did you find my house?¡±
Gao Cheng scratched his head shyly and said, ¡°Sorry to bother you, we actually need your help with something.¡±
Lu Yuan remained silent, but clearly shared the same goal with Gao Cheng.
¡°Let¡¯s talk inside.¡±
Both followed Bai Qi into the yard and saw Alpha battling against Steel Training Dummy ¨C Unmatched Mode. They were stunned.
Does he train his pet beast this way all the time?
And this kind of equipment, wouldn¡¯t it be confiscated as an offensive weapon?
Even students specialized in mechanical martial arts wouldn¡¯t do this, right?
¡°Sorry, it¡¯s a bit noisy here. Let¡¯s talk inside.¡±
Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan stared at each other, feeling for the first time that their training had been toox.
No wonder he could increase his pet beast¡¯s strength to this extent within just a month. Besides the good luck, his terrifying training method must be one of the reasons.
¡°What do you two want to drink?¡±
Bai Qi invited them to sit down, and then started rummaging through the fridge.
Gao Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, saying, ¡°No need, we¡¯ll leave in a bit.¡±
¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite.¡±
Bai Qi casually opened a bottle of God¡¯s Water and took a sip, saying, ¡°You two havee all the way here for something? If it¡¯s about the data for Lamentation Tower, I¡¯ve already reported it to the Beast Master Association. You can go to the association and ask.¡±
To assist trainee Beast Masters of Gusu City to pass levels better, President Qin had Bai Qi sort out the data about monsters on each level and wrote an attack guide to give to the challengers. It could be considered an exclusive benefit for Gusu City.
He¡¯s using God¡¯s Water as a beverage?
Lu Yuan¡¯s eyes twitched. Suddenly, he felt thating here was a mistake.
He couldn¡¯t adapt to such extravagant and crazy training methods.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Gao Cheng pointed at Alpha outside and said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not about the Lamentation Tower. We came mainly to ask whether you could help us modify our pet beasts too?¡±
¡°Our pet beasts¡¯ strength can¡¯t be improved in a short time, so we want to ask if there are any other methods.¡±
¡°If they could also have a Racial Evolution like your pet beast, I would basically be guaranteed to pass the professional examination at the end of the month.¡±
¡°Otherwise, ording to this year¡¯s situation, I might be eliminated again.¡±
Modification = Evolution?
Umm, seems like these two made a mistake?
Chapter 42 - 41: Tool Dog Transformation Plan
Chapter 42: Chapter 41: Tool Dog Transformation n
Trantor: 549690339 |
Looking at the two eagerly expectant faces, Bai Qi said, ¡°Alpha¡¯s evolution and transformation are not rted, and when I initially only added some simple mechanical protective gear to Alpha.¡±
¡°If you both are so fascinated with modifications, I suggest you consider adopting a mechanical pet for your next beast.¡±
Bai Qi did not deceive them. After the Husky¡¯s fusion with the mechanicalponents, he attempted simr fusion for Alpha, but they all ended with no result.
After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s rejection, Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan were somewhat disappointed. But after hearing Bai Qi¡¯s second sentence, theypletely gave up.
Due to the existence of the Star Mechanics Academy, there were several Mechanical Beast Masters in Gusu City, but the number was still smallpared to other systems.
After all, Mechanical Beast Masters require a lot more knowledge than other systems.
Both of them had chosen fighting professions. Now it was toote for them to switch to studying mechanics, even if they wanted to.
¡°Sorry, I couldn¡¯t help you.¡±
Seeing the disappointment on their faces, Bai Qi said somewhat awkwardly.
¡°No problem, it¡¯s our fault.¡±
Gao Cheng sighed and his eyes suddenly sparkled, ¡°Beast Control is a process of human and beast growing together. I can¡¯t believe I was trying to take shortcuts with external forces, no wonder I can¡¯t pass the profession test.¡±
While talking, Gao Cheng firmly grasped Bai Qi¡¯s hand, ¡°Thank you, Bai Qi. If it wasn¡¯t for you, I¡¯d still be trying to figure out how to cheat.¡±
Uh, why do I suddenly feel a little guilty?
Looking at Gao Cheng, who suddenly personified righteousness in front of him, Bai Qi felt somewhat guilty. He quickly withdrew his hand, saying, ¡°Hehe¡ I believe in you, Brother Gao.¡±
Gao Cheng nodded, ¡°By the way, do you remember Xia Xuan?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Alpha¡¯s first serious adversary since his debut, he certainly wouldn¡¯t forget.
¡°Since he was defeated by youst time, I heard from Han Wei that Xia Xuan has been frantically modifying his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus. He even hired several high-level Mechanical Beast Masters to work on modr system modification.¡±
¡°Your training methods, although very, um, unique, you still need to be careful if you want to defeat Xia Xuan again.¡±
A hint of worry crossed Gao Cheng¡¯s face.
While the sight of Bai Qi instantly defeating Xia Xuan that day was very dazzling, Gao Cheng had afterwards reflected on it and realized some clues.
Alpha¡¯s speed was unmatched. Xia Xuan¡¯s Mechanical Tyrannosaurus had powerful firepower, but it was visibly slow in its movementspared to Alpha. The defeat was predictable at such a close distance.
However, one of the biggest advantages of the Mechanical system is that it allows freedom to modify within the Beast Master¡¯s capacity. After Xia Xuan¡¯s adjustments, he would definitely challenge Bai Qi again.
¡°A modr level management system?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, that¡¯s it.¡±
After hearing Gao Cheng¡¯s words, Bai Qi was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly stood up, ¡°I just remembered that I have left something undone, I won¡¯t detain you two further.¡±
¡°Oh- Okay, then we¡¯ll go first.¡±
Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan left Bai Qi¡¯s house somewhat confused. Listening to the Husky¡¯s mournful howls from the courtyard, they exchanged worried nces. ¡°Is he, abusing the dog?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think so¡¡±
¡°So what do we do now?¡±
¡°Go for training together?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±
Ah, woo?
(Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?)
The Husky woke up confused and instinctively asked himself these questions.
¡°Species: Arctic Ice Wolf; Location: Zhongwu District, Gusu City; Activity: Sleeping.¡±
Meow!
A cold system sound suddenly rang in the Husky¡¯s ears. The Husky immediately woke up and, after seeing the mechanical covering half of its body, let out a terrified meowing sound.
¡°Hm? Could it be nerve damage from the brain connection? That shouldn¡¯t be, as I didn¡¯t install anything inside the brain, did I?¡±
Seeing the Husky¡¯s reaction, Bai Qi cautiously held the Husky and carefully examined it.
There was originally a simple system inside the mechanical limb that could remember the host¡¯s usual behaviors and then make corresponding cooperative movements.
This technology is not high-end, and can barely be used in things like mechanical limbs. Although the Husky could directly control the mechanical limbs due to the evolution egg, it was only limited to turning screws and such. If it wanted to perform moreplex operations, it could only rely on time umtion.
However, Bai Qi became enlightened after hearing Gao Cheng mention the modr level management system.
Since the evolution egg can connect the Husky¡¯s biological nerves and mechanical circuits, why not directly connect aputer brain?
Let the biological brain issuemands, and have the mechanical brain perform specific operations.
In a certain sense, isn¡¯t this also a modr level management system?
For this, he directly changed the simple system inside the Husky¡¯s mechanical limb into a specificputer brain for a mechanical pet beast. To avoid wasting theputational power of this 800W Federation Coins worthputer brain, Bai Qi expanded the Husky¡¯s mechanical limb into a half-body mechanical armor.
From a certain perspective, the only thing missing between the Husky and the mechanical pet beast is a spiritual awakening.
But looking at theputer brain¡¯s performance just now, it has sessfully connected with the Husky¡¯s biological brain after the fusion of the evolution egg. It¡¯s just that the Husky¡¯s brain seems to be damaged.
Bai Qi carefully examined the Husky¡¯s entire body. Only after confirming that there was no problem, he exhaled in relief.
Woof, woof, woof!
(It seems I¡¯ve be stronger again!)
As an odd creature that had been moving with prosthetics since childhood, the Husky quickly adapted to its new form and was showing a great deal of curiosity.
Electric welding, wrench, electric saw¡
All kinds of tools popped out from various parts of its body under the Husky¡¯s control, and the Husky even began shifting its attention to other ces.
Like the Steel Training Dummy 1.0
A strange light shed in the Husky¡¯s eyes, and then it ran towards the Steel Training Dummy 1.0 with its legs moving. The tools continuously shaking on its body clearly reflected its thoughts.
¡°I thought he would be more normal after installing aputer brain, it seems I was expecting too much.¡±
Seeing the Husky¡¯s response, Bai Qi pressed the remote control in his hand with a helpless expression. A strong electric current instantly flowed throughout the Husky¡¯s body.
Ah, woo-
(Again with this damn electric current, I¡¯ll tear him apart one of these days!)
The Husky spat out a puff of ck smoke, unwillingly copsed on the ground, but resentment still shed in its eyes.
Bai Qi walked up to the Husky, then used the ck Iron Egg to envelop it.
Theputer brain and the Husky have initially fused sessfully, whates next is to increase the fusion degree by grinding. If theputer brain and the Husky canpletely merge, it should be more normal.
When he contracts with the Husky after reaching the second stage, pulls up this guy¡¯s level, and after its energy value increases, he can consider further installing offensive weapons.
As for now, it can temporarily be used as a tool dog-

¡°Number one wrench.¡±
Woof!
¡°Number three welding gun.¡±
Woof Woof!
¡°Cut at a 45-degree angle, 5mm.¡±
Woof Woof Woof!
In the workshop, a man and a dog worked seamlessly together, efficiently assembling a mechanical creation that was more like a cannon than a steel training dummy. In the corner, three simr training dummies stood.
Since he got the husky as his assistant, Bai Qi experienced for the first time the feeling of being Iron Man. His work efficiency increased more than twofold.
If not for the asional spurt of misbehavior from this knucklehead, the efficiency might have been even higher.
Beep beep beep!
The sound of an rm emitted from the husky halted their actions.
¡°Alright, it¡¯s time for evolution.¡±
Bai Qiid down his tools and looked at the disappeared luminescence from the connection point between the husky¡¯s flesh and its mechanical body, nodding with satisfaction.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf
[Race]: Wolf Species (Mutant)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Sixth Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: Mechanical Paws, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance
[Condition]: Evolvable
After using the Evolution Egg, the shattered eggshell transforms into energy that attaches to the beast and slowly absorbs. Certain specific behaviors can elerate this process.
Alpha¡¯s was Bone-breaking Reformation, while the husky¡¯s was a bit more civilized, simply requiring to operate a half-body armor.
So, to optimize the process, Bai Qi calcted both Alpha and the husky¡¯s energy absorption rates and set a schedule to ensure seamless transitions.
Bai Qi ced his right hand on the husky, and the ck iron egg quickly took shape, enveloping the husky, while Bai Qi continued his unfinished work as if nothing had happened.
After over a month of ¡°abuse¡± from the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi¡¯s physique and spirit power had significantly improved. Except for the time when the husky evolved from a low-level elite to a mid-level elite, exhausting his stamina, he generally felt no significant fatigue.
While he had no formalparison, Bai Qi believed that his physique should rank among the top among his peers.
Even if it wasn¡¯t, Bai Qi was not worried, as he felt that he hadn¡¯t reached his limit, and was still steadily improving.
If he continued to strengthen at this rate, bing a Seven Stage Legend, Bai Qi wondered if he could tear apart ferocious beasts with his bare hands like those Beast Masters with a fusion gift?!
Bai Qi chuckled, then attached thest part to the training dummy.
The Steel Training Dummy ¨C Pea Shooter was finallyplete.
Bai Qi activated all four Pea Shooters and moved them to the four corners of the training room next door.
Even though the vi area was fairly open, the racket that Alpha produced training with the steel training dummy was too loud, and Bai Qi had receivedints.
To reduce problems, Bai Qi had set aside a room, turning it into a soundproof chamber for Alpha¡¯s training sessions.
It wasn¡¯trge, but it was enough.
Crack crack.
(Master, are we going to climb the tower?)
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for the Lamentation Tower for now, we¡¯re not getting any rewards anyway, let¡¯s y a game first.¡±
Crack¡
(Okay.)
Alpha was visibly disappointed, but it still obeyed Bai Qi¡¯smand and stood in the center of the room.
¡°Try not to get hit. If you are hit more than three times, it will be considered a challenge failure,¡±
*Crunch* *Crunch*
Alpha obediently nodded, while Bai Qi quickly left the room and looked into the room through the transparent ss.
¡°The match between nts and skeletons, begins now!¡±
Puff! Puff! Puff!¡
The four Pea Shooters activated all at once, firing colorful cannonballs from their trumpet-shaped muzzles directly at Alpha in the center of the arena. Unperturbed, Alpha swerved slightly, easily avoiding the bombardment of colorful cannonballs. The four Pea Shooters did not pose a significant threat to Alpha.
Bai Qi slowly turned the knob on the remote, increasing the Pea Shooters¡¯ rate of fire. This forced Alpha to dodge with greater effort.
Nevertheless, he managed it with ease.
Alpha, now a High-grade Elite, was not easily hit by ordinary attacks.
¡°We still have a long way to go,¡±
Bai Qi cranked the knob to its maximum setting. In an instant, the yard was engulfed in a cloud of colorful cannonballs. As they collided with each other and the walls, their trajectories became increasingly unpredictable.
Yet Bai Qi was not done, he pressed a few buttons and new muzzles extended from the Pea Shooters, again spewing colorful cannonballs.
Pea Shooter ¨C Dual Pea Shooter.
This time, the room waspletely encased in colorful cannonballs, and Alpha was finally unable to dodge in time. He was hit by one of the cannonballs, disrupting his rhythm and leading to a series of consecutive hits.
*Crunch* *Crunch*
Alpha looked a little ashamed, but he quickly rallied.
(I am still too weak. If I weren¡¯t, the master wouldn¡¯t leave me behind when he goes to fight.)
The Fire of Soul in Alpha¡¯s eyes zed fiercely. Even behind the ss, Bai Qi could sense the intense battle intent emanating from Alpha.
Such determination¡ it really had the vor of a nts vs. Zombies battle.
Bai Qi grinned, pressed a button, and tubes extended from the base of the Pea Shooters. They worked like vacuum cleaners, sucking up all the colorful cannonballs that had fallen to the floor, and a second round of fire began.
As a bright young man of the new era, recycling and preventing waste were basic principles.
Not that Bai Qi would ever admit that he was running out of money.
As he watched Alpha improving, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, then returned to his room to meditate.
After a Beast Master forms a contract with a beast, as the beast grows stronger, the Beast Master also experiences physical and mental enhancements through feedback.
However, this feedback is generally slight. If a Beast Master wishes to level up quickly, aside from using special materials, they can only rely on meditation to gradually strengthen their Beast Control Space.
Even though Bai Qi¡¯s mental strength had skyrocketed thanks to the Evolution Egg, he was still rtively new to Beast Mastery and far from reaching the Second Stage.
That¡¯s why, he had been diligently practicing meditation whenever he had free time of these past few days.
He was of course preparing for entering the second tower.
ording to President Qin, the key he acquired in the Lamentation Tower would surely draw the attention of both the association headquarters and the Federation.
If he were living a hundred years ago, as an apprentice Beast Master holding such a priceless item, he would be in grave danger.
But there was no need to worry about that now.
In fact, he could even profit significantly from this situation.
¡°When someonees to buy this key from you, don¡¯t hesitate, doesn¡¯t matter who it is, the highest bidder wins!¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like you can¡¯t enter the tower if you sell the key. As a member of the Special Material n, you have the right to enter any Tower of Secrets owned by the Federation or the Association.¡±
¡°When the timees, climb the tower with your all, seize as many first clearances as you can!¡±
¡°They are not short of money, don¡¯t do them any favors.¡±
These were President Qin¡¯s exact words. Although it somewhat undermined the image he had always held of President Qin, Bai Qi must say-
He loved it!

Buzz, buzz, buzz¡
Just as Bai Qi adjusted himself and was about to start meditating, his phone in his pocket started to vibrate.
The caller was Luo Xiang, who had previously assessed Bai Qi in the Special Training Program.
¡°Hey Bai Qi, hurry over to the Star Mechanics Academy right now. I have something to discuss with you.¡¯1
¡°I¡¯m saying, Team Leader Luo, it¡¯s five in the afternoon right now, and the school is currently on holiday, what are you doing over there?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t ask so many questions. Just hurry over here, it¡¯s good news.¡±
Beep, beep, beep¡
Bai Qi put down the phone that was already hung up, and silently sighed while watching the gradually setting sun outside the window.
Were superiors always on the job?
Bai Qi was a member of the Gusu City Beastmaster Association, but in the Special Training Program, he was under themand of Luo Xiang. Now that Luo Xiang summoned him, Bai Qi found it embarrassing to refuse.
Of course, there was also the matter of the good news that Luo Xiang mentioned.
The Star Mechanics Academy sat in the center of Gusu City. This time coincided with the peak period of people getting off work. By the time Bai Qi arrived at the Star Mechanics Academy, it was already dusk.
¡°Bai Qi, this way.¡±
Luo Xiang, who had been waiting for a while, immediately signaled to Bai Qi once he spotted him. ¡°Hurry up, Professor Dong has been waiting for a long time.¡±
¡°Professor Dong? Who is that?¡± Bai Qi was confused.
Even though the Star Mechanics Academy was famous for its Mechanical Engineering Department, there were many otherrge and small departments. Bai Qi had no idea who Professor Dong in Luo Xiang¡¯s mouth was.
¡°You haven¡¯t heard of Professor Dong from the Ancient Rune Department? What have you been doing all these years in school?¡±
Is it strange for a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department not to know a professor from the Ancient Rune Department?
Moreover, most of the students don¡¯t even know all the professors in their own department.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes in exasperation. ¡°Team Leader Luo, can you finally tell me what it is now?¡±
¡°You remember what I mentioned to youst time, right? The matter about studying rune knowledge.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
¡°Originally, I wanted to take you to headquarters for training, but Old Qin didn¡¯t agree, and I couldn¡¯t stay here for too long. So, I asked Professor Dong from the Rune Department of Star Mechanics Academy to teach you about runes.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already taken care of the rtionship for you, so it won¡¯t affect your studies in the Mechanical specialisation. You just need to find some time to go there asionally.¡±
Thanks a lot!
Telling a Mechanical Engineering student to go study runes, isn¡¯t this a bit too interdisciplinary?
Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang with a bitter expression and suddenly regretted joining the Special Training Program.
If only he could get his money back if he quit the program now.
¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking. Although your [Breaking the Void] talent can ignore the rune seal of the Secret Realm Tower, this talent can¡¯t always be triggered, so in most cases, you have to rely on yourself to solve it.¡±
Bai Qi asked, ¡°Team Leader Luo, you seem to be very familiar with this kind of talent?¡±
Luo Xiang nodded. ¡°Yes. Because I have it too. How else do you think I could be an examiner?¡±
Alright, it was my fault to be fooled.
Bai Qi remained silent and followed Luo Xiang to the teaching building of the Rune Department.
Compared to the techno-style Mechanical Engineering Department, the building of the Rune Department seemed to have a style of a Western wizard from a past life.
Strange runes, deep paths. It was enough to give anyone the creeps.
¡°Professor Dong is a prominent figure in the Federation¡¯s Rune Department. She moved to Gusu City after retirement, so remember to be polite to her.¡± Luo Xiang solemnly warned Bai Qi as they arrived at the office door. After Bai Qi admitted to understanding, Luo Xiang knocked on the office door.
¡°Professor Dong, I¡¯ve brought the kid.¡±
¡°Oh, it¡¯s you, young Luo. Pleasee in.¡±
A gentle voice sounded from inside the room, and Luo Xiang cautiously opened the door and walked in with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi looked around. The style of this office was quite different from the wizard-like style he had imagined, it looked more like a library.
Almost everywhere he looked, there were stacks of various books.
The voice came from behind a pile of books.
¡°I was worried you might note. Let me take a look. Who is this talented individual you personally rmended?¡±
An olddy with a constant smile on her face emerged from behind the book pile. Seeing Bai Qi, she asked in surprise, ¡°Howe I don¡¯t recall having such a student in the Rune Department?¡±
This olddy couldn¡¯t memorize every student in the entire department, could she?
¡°Professor Dong can draw all of the one hundred and four thousand nine hundred and eighty-one runes discovered up to this point by hand, without any errors. Do you think she will find it hard to remember the students in one department?¡± Luo Xiang whispered to Bai Qi about Professor Dong¡¯s glorious history, and exined to Professor Dong, ¡°Bai Qi is indeed not a student of the Rune Department. He is specialized in Mechanical¡±
Upon hearing this, Professor Dong was surprised, ¡°Mechanical? A student of Professor Chu?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve taken almost all of Professor Chu¡¯s sses.¡±
Looking at the situation, do these two have some kind of feud? He hoped this Professor Dong would kindly refuse to tutor him.
¡°That¡¯s fine, if you can digest Professor Chu¡¯s courses, you¡¯ll definitely have no problem with learning runes.¡±
When Bai Qi heard this, his expression immediately became gloomy, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot.
Since when are Mechanical and Runes corrted? The two are huge leaps apart, aren¡¯t they?
Bai Qi nced at Luo Xiang, who was sitting upright next to him and became increasingly convinced that this man must have known that it would end up like this, hence his assurance.
¡°Um, Professor Dong, won¡¯t it be a bit toote for me to switch fields now?¡±
Professor Dong smilingly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, learning runes is not as difficult as you think. In some ways, runes and the Mechanical Department even have some simrities.¡±
With that said, Professor Dong took out a thick book from a nearby shelf and said, ¡°This book contains all the runes and their corresponding exnations discovered so far. Read it first and if you have any doubts, feel free toe and ask me.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re not too bothered by it, you can also try to imitate the runes ording to the book. It¡¯s very beneficial for your Spirit Power.¡±
Imitating runes can enhance Spirit Power? Are you guys sure you¡¯re in the right ce, Professor Dong?
This is the Beastmaster World, not Hogwarts.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s doubtful expression, Professor Dong didn¡¯t mind. Luo Xiang directly opened the Rune Dictionary and pointed to a rune on the first page and said, ¡°Try it out, and you¡¯ll know.¡±
Bai Qi looked where Luo Xiang was pointing and was immediately convinced after seeing the rune, which was as warped as Cthulhu.
If he could imitate such aplex rune, it would be strange if his spirit power didn¡¯t increase.
And there were one hundred and four thousand nine hundred and eighty-one more runes like this one!
Suddenly, he thinks that what Professor Dong said earlier might be reversed.
If one could learn runes, there is no way they couldn¡¯t learn Mechanical!

Thinking that he would have to spend time learning suchplex runes made Bai Qi¡¯s head spin in frustration.
But faced with Professor Dong¡¯s kindly demeanor, Bai Qi felt too embarrassed
to refuse.
Well, learning one thing was the same as learning two. At worst, he¡¯d have to spend his meditation time studying runes.
After all, both methods were meant to increase spirit power, so the way didn¡¯t really matter.
¡°Alright, I have a couple of research topics to investigate, so I won¡¯t keep you any longer. If you have any questions, feel free toe see me anytime.¡± Professor Dong gave a gentle smile, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, there¡¯s no need to rush.
After all, you have the same talent as Luo Xiang. Runes are merely a
supplement.¡±
¡°Alright, thankyou, Professor Dong.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and carefully stored the dictionary.
¡°Well, Professor Dong, we¡¯ll be on our way now. We¡¯ll visit again when we get
the chance.¡±
¡°Go handle your business. Your willingness is enough.¡±
Professor Dong smiled and then returned to his pile of books, continuing to pore over them.
The two carefully left Professor Dong¡¯s office, not releasing their breaths until
they had walked a good distance away.
¡°Alright, now you have your book, and it¡¯s time to work hard.
Luo Xiang patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and said, ¡°Young
man, I¡¯ve got my eye on you.¡±
Bai Qi chuckled, saying, ¡°Are you sure I will still be alive by the time I finish
this book?¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, saying, ¡°That¡¯s not my problem. Besides, if you want to conquer the Lamentation Tower, it¡¯s best that you diligently study these runes.¡±
Insider information?1.
Bai Qi perked up his ears and quickly leaned in towards Luo Xiang, saying, ¡°Does team leader Luo have any advice?¡±
¡°Combination-type secret realms aren¡¯tmon, but they are invariably ancient. I¡¯ve seen the images you replicated. You may need to utilize knowledge of runester.¡±
If that was true, then he had better take his studies seriously.
Not until Bai Qi took the matter seriously did Luo Xiang nod his head in satisfaction, ¡°Runic civilization isn¡¯t as simple as you think, so practice hard.¡± ¡°I have a suggestion: focus on runes rted to the Undead Department first. Having said this, a golden rune appeared under Luo Xiang¡¯s feet. A giant owl sprung from it, carrying Luo Xiang on its back.
¡°I have other tasks to attend to. I¡¯ll be off now. The next time I hear news of you, I hope it¡¯s that you¡¯ve cracked the Lamentation Tower.¡± Luo Xiang waved at Bai Qi and then vanished into the sky on his owl.
Another Sunrise Level Beast Master.
Given Luo Xiang¡¯s age, he was probably in his twenties.
Those who came from the Special Training Program were truly exceptional.
Bai Qi tightened his grip on the heavy book in his hand and then hurried toward the school gate with a serious look.
It was getting dark. He wondered howte he would have to stay before being able to go home.
How he wished he had a flying pet beast under hismand.
Bai Qi¡¯s home.
There was chaos everywhere.
Husky, who had just awoken from the Evolution Egg, saw the empty house and his long dormant dismantling instinct was revived.
Woof-
(Finally, it¡¯s my time to shine!)
Husky quickly ran to a corner, pulled off the canvas there, and exposed the Steel Training Dummy, which he had thoroughly disassembled. Various tools appeared as he started assembling it with gusto.
Maybe it was due to exposure or the aid of his smart brain, but Husky began to piece the training dummy back together, bit by bit.
Finally, under the cover of darkness, a remodeled Steel Training Dummy waspleted by Husky¡¯s hand. The design was a bit bizarre, to say the least.
It would be better to call this a Frankenstein dummy than a Steel Training Dummy.
However, Husky was quite pleased with himself.
Woof!
(I finished!)
Husky appraised his maiden work up and down, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was. He then wheeled the Steel Training Dummy into the courtyard and expertly switched on the power.
ZZZap, ZZZap.
The instant the power was switched on, the Steel Training Dummy was engulfed in a current. Husky realized there was a problem and quietly moved away.
Boom!
Finally, the Steel Training Dummy couldn¡¯t handle the pressure and blew up. The scattered parts flew everywhere, and one of them almost injured Bai Qi, who had just arrived home.
¡°What¡ What happened here?¡±
Bai Qi looked at his courtyard, which seemed to have just been attacked, with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Did I forget to turn off the gas when I left the house? No, that can¡¯t be it. There was enough dust in their kitchen to bake a cake, there couldn¡¯t possibly have been a gas explosion.
After searching around for a bit, Bai Qi finally spotted Husky trying to sneak away in a corner, and he felt his veins bulge in anger.
Woof!
(Oh no, I¡¯ve been discovered!)
Husky reluctantly turned around, and upon seeing Bai Qi¡¯s furious expression, he shivered all over, forcing out an innocent smile.
¡°Human, would you believe me if I said the Steel Training Dummy started it?
Huh?
Following Husky¡¯s gaze, when Bai Qi saw the Steel Training Dummy which was clearly reconstructed and then blown to pieces again, a sh of surprise crossed his eyes.
Did this idiot do it?
Apparently sensing Bai Qi¡¯s change in attitude, Husky immediately tried to move forward and act cute. But before he could get close, a strong current electrocuted him again.
Woof-
(This is an unavenged grievance, this is not what a dog should endure!) Bai Qi summoned Alpha, extinguishing all the scattered mes in the courtyard, made some exnations to the inquiring neighbors, and then returned home.
As expected, leaving this dangerous critter alone at home was the biggest mistake he had ever made.
However, managing to reassemble a Steel Training Dummy that was nearlypletely dismantled and sessfully installing a robotic brain was much better than he had expected.
It seemed worthwhile to cultivate this aspect more.
Bai Qi nced at Husky with some interest and directly gave it a kick.
¡°Stop pretending, dummy. This electricity doesn¡¯t affect you.¡±
Woof?!
(Human, how did you see through my superb acting skills!)
Husky looked at Bai Qi with surprise, but before long he was back to jumping and bouncing around.
The ¡®expert level¡¯ current resistance was not a joke. This amount of electricity could only temporarily restrict its movements.
¡°Come with me.¡±
Bai Qi led Husky back to the workshop, quickly drawing a simple blueprint and cing it in front of Husky, asking, ¡°Can you make this exactly hke the blueprint?¡±
Woof?
(Human, are you crazy? I¡¯m just a dog!)
Seeing Husky¡¯s disdainful expression, Bai Qi felt a bit stupid and couldn¡¯t help but p himself a few times. However, after seeing the Steel Training Dummy outside, he suddenly had an idea and assembled a Spider Web Ball in front of Husky.
¡°Can you do this?¡±
Husky nodded his head upon seeing this. Various tools once again emerged from his half-metal body, and he actually assembled a Spider Web Ball! This creature was practically half a Mechanical Pet Beast!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes burned even brighter as he looked at Husky. Just as he was about to give Husky a thoroughpliment, the Spider Web Ball in his hand suddenly heated up. Instinctively, Bai Qi threw the SpiderWeb Ball away.
Boom!
The moment Bai Qi threw the Spider Web Ball, Husky¡¯s imitation exploded. Fortunately, the Spider Web Ball wasn¡¯trge, so it didn¡¯t have much destructive power.
Woof! Woof, woof!
(Is this, is this what humans call ¡®art¡¯!)
Husky¡¯s eyes were gleaming with excitement, as if he had already seen the direction of his future!
Chapter 46 - 45: Official Cheating, Truly Fatal

Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi walked through the entrance, leading his husky, and was immediately recognized by the receptionist. ¡°Mr. Bai Qi, you¡¯re taking your dog out today?¡± ¡°Couldn¡¯t help it, if I left this thing at home, I was afraid there would be no home to return to.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly. ¡°Is there any Undead Department training grounds avable?¡±
The receptionist covered her mouth as she lightlyughed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the president ordered to reserve a training room for you, though you might have to wait for a trainer.¡±
¡°No problem, I can train by myself.¡±
Be it the Steel Training Dummy 1.0 or Pea Shooter, the training targeted mostly Alpha¡¯s basic abilities. Skills like Bone-Breaking Reformation were practiced more often, but practicing skills like the Shadow Lotus Skill at home was inconvenient.
Of course, Bai Qi also wanted toy low for a while.
Ever since the husky learned to assemble mechanical creations, it opened a whole new world, spending more time in the studio than Bai Qi did.
To avoid bing homeless, Bai Qi decisively chose to train at the association.
If he lingered, he might have been arrested as a terrorist.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you to the training ground.¡±
With a slight smile, the receptionist led Bai Qi straight to the members-only area, only leaving after showing him how to use the facilities in the training ground.
¡°VIP treatment is fantastic.¡±
Bai Qi tethered the husky aside, activated all the targets in the training ground, and then summoned Alpha.
¡°Alpha, today we are going to focus on two offensive skills, especially the Shadow Lotus Skill.¡±
G-g.
Alpha obediently nodded, its body gradually disappearing into the darkness as it began a new day of training. Bai Qi found a spot to sit down and started studying a Rune Dictionary given by Professor Dong.
Since Luo Xiang already gave several hints, it would be uneptable for Bai Qi to ck off.
Besides, Bai Qi unexpectedly found these runes far more interesting than he imagined.
Perhaps, did he have talent for these?
Woo?
(Why does this human keep grinning? Did he get shocked silly?)
The husky curiously nced at Bai Qi who was grinning, then yawned idly.
(This dark ce is no fun, home is way better.)
I want to go out and y.
The husky gazed at the chain around it, thought about it, and gave up the idea of breaking free.
The evil human upgraded the electric device on it, and it couldn¡¯t bear it for now.
Click.
Just then, the door of the training room opened abruptly, and President Qin entered.
Putting down the dictionary in his hand, Bai Qi said, ¡°Mr. President, why are you here?¡±
¡°I was about to look for you. I heard you were here, so I came straight over.¡±
President Qin looked at Alpha, who was practicing the Shadow Lotus Skill, nodded in approval, and said, ¡°Not bad. Your Ice Shadow Swordsman may have an ice attribute, but essentially, it belongs to the Undead Department. The Shadow Department should not be neglected either.¡±
Is that so?
Why didn¡¯t anyone tell me?
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, clearly not having thought about that.
Seeing this, President Qin smiled, and said, ¡°I think I need to help you sign up for a course on basic beast control.¡±
¡°Uh, no need, I think I¡¯m fine as is.¡±
Without hesitation, Bai Qi turned down President Qin¡¯s kind offer.
Just learning about runes was already giving him a headache. If another one is added, might as well kill him.
¡°When you just said you were going to find me at home, did you find a mutant species?¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t think he was lucky enough to encounter another mutant species, so he had asked President Qin to keep an eye out for him.
The reason naturally, was to save it for a contract.
¡°What are you thinking, are mutant species that easy toe across?¡±
President Qin red at Bai Qi annoyed, ¡°Luo Xiang reported about that key in your hand yesterday, and some have already expressed interest in purchasing it. So, there isn¡¯t much time left for you.¡±
No wonder he suddenly got him to go to Professor Dong to learn about runes and gave him advice that day. Clearly, it was premeditated.
Bai Qi¡¯s forehead pulsed as he silently cursed Luo Xiang countless times.
¡°You can¡¯t me him,¡± Qin Jiang said. ¡°Even if he hadn¡¯t reported it, the association would have found out soon enough, maybe even sooner.¡±
The Beast Master Association had branches throughout the federation. Many witnessed Bai Qi¡¯s victory that day, and it was certainly impossible to keep it from the headquarters.
¡°But don¡¯t worry, since the Lamentation Tower appeared in Gusu City, Gusu City has the exclusive rights to exploit it for a month, which even the headquarters can¡¯t vite. ording to the timeline, you still have at least ten days to improve your abilities.¡±
Upgrade to the second stage in ten days?
President Qin, you think too highly of me.
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Even though the Evolution Egg had pushed his spirit power to grow quickly, upgrading to the second stage in that amount of time was a bit too much.
¡°I know this sounds a bit exaggerated, so I¡¯ve specifically looked for a teacher in undead pets to give you special training. Every bit of improvement counts.¡± After all that, you still want to give me extra lessons!
Bai Qi pouted but didn¡¯t refuse.
Although he didn¡¯t believe any teacher could help him reach the second stage within ten days, having a teacher would be beneficial. After all, he was technically a self-taught Beast Master. Learning some professional methods would be useful.
¡°Is that teacher also from Star Mechanics Academy?¡±
¡°No, he¡¯ll be here soon, you¡¯ll know then.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, flipping through the Rune Dictionary, and started waiting.
Very soon, the door of the training room opened again, and Bai Qi finally knew who President Qin was referring to as the teacher for undead pets.
Titled Legendary of the Undead Department, Celestial Brilliance, Bai Heguang.
Bai Qi, uncertain, looked to President Qin for confirmation. After receiving it, he fell silent.
Inviting a Titled Legendary to tutor an apprentice Beast Master, does the Beast Master Association usually indulge in such extravagance?
Bai Heguang nced at Bai Qi and frowned slightly, ¡°President Qin, this is the kid you want me to help train?¡±
President Qin nodded, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him.¡±
¡°In a way, he is also your junior. So, I¡¯m counting on you for the next few days.¡±
¡°As long as you can get him to the second stage within ten days. You can use any method, just don¡¯t kill him.¡±
Hey, you didn¡¯t say it that way just now.
Seeing the cunning smile on President Qin¡¯s face, Bai Qi¡¯s forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
You said that whatever he could achieve would be fine, why has it changed to ¡®just don¡¯t kill him¡¯?
The officials cheat, it¡¯s really deadly!

After President Qin left, only Bai Qi and Bai Heguang were left in the training area.
Oh, and a dog and a skeleton as well.
¡°Actually, I don¡¯t like you.¡±
Bai Heguang made a startling deration, leaving Bai Qi momentarily speechless.
Being disliked by a Titled Legendary, what unforgivable misdeed had hemitted?
¡°But for the sake of President Qin, I can help you train. However, if I see you messing around with those ridiculous mechanical alterations on undead creatures again, you won¡¯t be so lucky.¡±
When Bai Qi heard this, he immediately understood and nodded without hesitation.
Although he wanted to make alterations, he needed to have something to alter first. Anyway, he now had a new target: the husky. He didn¡¯t need Alpha anymore.
However, Celestial Brilliance had such a big grudge against the Mechanical Engineering Department.
Seeing Bai Qi nod, Bai Heguang¡¯s face looked a bit better. He looked at Alpha who was still practicing the Shadow Lotus skill, and said, ¡°The skill is not bad, but you¡¯ve missed the main point.¡±
¡°Death and darkness are the main themes of undead creatures.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, arge ck Array appeared in front of Bai Heguang. A huge ck bird slowly emerged from it.
At the same time, a dark force filled with a strong aura of death flooded out from the ck bird, engulfing both Bai Qi and Alpha in the training area, leaving them unable to move.
The husky, who was even closer, was not affected by this force at all. It was simply scared stiff, not daring to move.
Woof¡
(This bird¡ is so scary!)
Bai Heguang coldly looked at Alpha, who was forced to emerge from the shadow and resist the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s intimidation. He said, ¡°Next, the Jiuyou Darkbird will gradually increase the intensity of its intimidation. If you cannot withstand it, you will be swallowed by the Darkbird¡¯s power.¡±
¡°Same goes for you!¡±
¡°As a Beast Master, you are fighting against unreasonable ferocious beasts. Do you expect those beasts to stupidly only attack your pet?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s face fell. These words made too much sense, and he found himself unable to argue.
But you could have given me a heads up.
Bai Qi gritted his teeth, concentrating all his energy to resist the pressure of the Jiuyou Darkbird, when he suddenly heard a familiar cracking sound in his mind.
The Evolution Egg cracked?
In the Beast Control Space, the ck shell of the Evolution Egg was already full of cracks. Bronze-colored light seeped from the cracks, even coloring the Beast Control Space in bronze.
Is it upgrading?
He hadn¡¯t managed to get any Mutant Species yet.
Could it be because of the Jiuyou Darkbird?
Bai Qi was a little confused, his previous guess was instantly disproved.
However, his attention was quickly drawn to the evolving egg.
After his Beast Control Space waspletely bathed in a bronze light, the ck shell of the Evolution Egg finally brokepletely, revealing a bronze egg-
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze o%)
[Condition]: Activated
After ck Irones Bronze. Why am I not surprised?
Finally, will there be a King¡¯s Egg?
Bai Qi murmured in his mind, then suddenly discovered that the broken ck Iron eggshells, unlike the original eggshells that disappeared after activation slowly clung to his Beast Control Space and fused with the Bronze Light to form a bronze crystal wall.
At the same time, a brand-new Rune Mark appeared next to the one on Bai Qi¡¯s left hand.
Upgraded to the Second Stage?
Bai Heguang, noticing Bai Qi¡¯s changes, was also slightly surprised. He patted the Jiuyou Darkbird beside him, which immediately got the hint and lifted the pressure on Bai Qi.
He reached the Second Stage in just over a month. No wonder President Qin values this kid so much.¡±
Bai Heguang had no intention of disturbing Bai Qi. Instead, he turned his attention to Alpha in the center-field.
At this time, Alpha was still resisting the pressure of the Jiuyou Darkbird. Its Ice Armor and even its bones kept breaking and then repairing themselves. Its originally light-blue Ice bones gradually became grayish, and by the time Bai Qi woke up, the Ice Armor and Ice Sword on Alpha¡¯s body had turned deep blue.
Now, Alpha¡¯s appearance was more reminiscent of that big filial son.
¡°You¡¯ve already be a Second Stage Beast Master, so I¡¯vepleted the task that President Qin gave me.¡±
Bai Heguang put away the Jiuyou Darkbird, showing no intention of chatting with Bai Qi. He turned around and headed for the door.
¡°Your pets are not bad, don¡¯t waste them.¡±
With that, Bai Heguang suddenly disappeared, leaving Bai Qi stupefied on the spot.
Was that the end of the training session? Weren¡¯t they supposed to have ten days¡
Wait, what did he just say?
Second Stage Beast Master?
Me?
Bai Qi incredulously looked at the second Rune Mark on the back of his own hand, a burst of joy immediately spreading across his face.
How brutal it was to take advantage of the official system so easily and directly be a Second Stage Beast Master?
Bai Qi was rejoicing, immediately pulled the Husky in for a vigorous shake, while Alpha also approached him from the field.
nk. nk.
(Master, can I be as powerful as that bird?)
Alpha did not hide his inner longing in the slightest. Bai Qi patted Alpha¡¯s shoulder solemnly and said, ¡°Believe me, you can!¡±
Bing a Second Stage Beast Master in just over a month. Wasn¡¯t this pace quite rare?
Indeed, the Evolution Egg proved to be a great thing.
Bai Qi nced at the bronze crystal walls surrounding the Beast Control Space and began to examine Alpha¡¯s status.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Level]: First Stage Level Three
[Bloodline Level]: High-Grade Elite (Speed Variation)
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Perfect), Steel Skeleton (Mastery),
Ice Sword sh (Proficiency), Shadow Lotus Skill (Mastery), Ice Armor (Mastery)
[Energy Value]: 3000
[Condition]: Evolvable
After upgrading to the Bronze Egg, not only could I see the Energy Value, but I could also see the direction of the variation?
This function seemed to be taking over from the manual.
Although other attributes hadn¡¯t changed much, Bone-breaking Reformation had unexpectedly improved to the perfect level, and Alpha¡¯s recovery speed had gone up a notch.
However, the biggest improvement was Alpha¡¯s first active offensive skill, Shadow Lotus Skill, which had be of the mastery level.
¡°Alpha, use the Shadow Lotus Skill.¡±
nk. nk.
(Okay, Master.)
Alpha nodded, and a dark blue lotus appeared under the target, instantly shredding the target into pieces. The fragments hadn¡¯t even had a chance to fall before they were corroded by the dense dark power around the bones and quickly turned into ashes and dissipated.
No wonder Celestial Brilliance disdained other attributes. The power of darkness was indeed potent.
It was a pity that Celestial Brilliance was not interested in paying attention to him. It was unknown where to find such brutal experience packages in the future.
With a thoughtful expression, Bai Qi made new ns for the future cultivation direction of Alpha.
¡°Let¡¯s try out the effects of the Bronze Egg first.¡±
Bai Qi allowed Alpha to withdraw his skill and then brought him into the Beast Control Space, simultaneously connecting his Spirit Power with the new Bronze Egg.
Instantaneously, rays of light shot out from the surrounding bronze crystal walls, swiftly outlining an egg shape around Alpha, which eventuallypletely solidified.
Evolution directly in the Beast Control Space was the special ability of the Bronze Egg.
In this way, we can evolve anytime and anywhere..
Chapter 48 - 47: Erha’s Evolution Path
Chapter 48: Chapter 47: Erha¡¯s Evolution Path
Trantor: 549690339
Looking at the Bronze Egg quietly lying in the Beast Control Space, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Immediately after, a familiar sense of exhaustion overwhelmed him.
Indeed, after upgrading the Evolution Egg, the consumption had also increased.
Bai Qi took out the God¡¯s Water he carried with him and gulped down several mouthfuls but didn¡¯t find much relief. He drank the whole thing, then took out several more bottles to drink before he finally relieved the feeling of weakness.
Having the ability to evolve anytime and anywhere was good, but the issue was this kind of consumption could not keep up. He couldn¡¯t always carry a stack of God¡¯s Water, could he?
If only he had some sort of storage equipment.
Such things were also avable on the Beast Master Association¡¯s website, but unfortunately, the price was something Bai Qi could not afford.
Moreover, even if Bai Qi could afford the price, these items were not readily avable in the market.
Having weighed all factors, the most feasible option currently was to clear the next Secret Realm Tower as soon as possible to see if he could gain control.
By then, he could move both Alpha and Husky¡¯s training area directly into the Secret Realm Tower, without worrying about beingined about.
However, that was something to be dealt withter on. What he needed to do now was to quickly contract the second pet beast.
Bai Qi walked over to Husky, patted his furry head, and asked, ¡°Dumbo, would you like to be my pet beast?¡±
Ah, woo?
(Pet beast, am I not one already?)
Seeing Husky¡¯s puzzled expression, Bai Qi smiled, then activated the second Rune Mark on the back of his left hand.
Immediately, two bronze arrays appeared under Husky¡¯s feet and above his head, slowly converging in the middle, causing Husky¡¯s body to gradually disappear.
The process was no different from when he contracted Alpha, except that the color of Bai Qi¡¯s array seemed a bit unusual.
Generally, a Second Stage Beast Master¡¯s array would be white, but Bai Qi¡¯s was bronze.
It was probably influenced by the Bronze Egg.
Soon, the two arrayspletely solidified, and a warm flow began to nourish Bai Qi¡¯s body and soul out of thin air.
With this, he was officially a Second Stage Beast Master.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (psychic mutation)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Sixth Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Mechanical w, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance
[Energy Value]: 600
[Condition]: Evolvable
Psychic mutation, no wonder this guy has such strong perception and learning abilities.
Only the energy value iscking. However, once it is upgraded to the first stage, it should improve.
Woof woof woof!
(Human, where is this? Let me out quickly!)
Husky¡¯s intelligence was clearly higher than that of Alpha. He was just contracted and he could already clearly convey his thoughts to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi summoned Husky, feeling the tight connection between him and Husky, and said, ¡°Since you have be my pet beast, let me give you a name as well.¡±
Woof!
(Naming? I¡¯ll do it myself!)
This was the first time he had so muchmunication with a pet beast, and Bai Qi found it very interesting, he agreed to Husky¡¯s request.
¡°Tell me, what do you want your name to be?¡±
Ah woo! Ah woo!
(Nichs Zhao Si!)
The Husky looked extremely excited; he tried to name himself, but Bai Qi tly denied him.
¡°You¡¯ll be called Beta. It fits well after Alpha and it¡¯s easy to remember.¡±
Huh?
(What happened to canine rights? Is it over?)
Bai Qi forcefully hit the silly husky with a punch, looking at its half-machine body, something clicked in his mind.
He had picked the wrong name. What if he had contracted this mutt first? Wouldn¡¯t it be Alpha Dog then?
Damn¡ Huge mistake.
Bai Qi regretfully shook his head and then, ignoring the Husky¡¯s resistance, put it into the Beast Control Space to start hatching eggs.
Although he had evolved the Husky quite a bit recently, its growth level and bloodline level were still too low. The next step was to enhance this creature substantially.
Otherwise, when he went to challenge the next Secret Realm Tower, the Husky might not prove very useful.
¡°Has Celestial Brilliance left?¡±
Unsure if he was feeling guilty, President Qin returned, his brows furrowing slightly when he saw Bai Qi sitting alone in the training ground.
This guy, his obsession was too deep.
Hearing President Qin¡¯s voice, Bai Qi stood up and said, ¡°Celestial Brilliance said that I¡¯m already a Second Stage Beast Master, so he has finished his task and left.¡±
¡°You¡¯re already a Second Stage, no wonder¡ Wait a minute! What did you just say?¡±
Changing from his usual calm demeanor, President Qin abruptly grabbed Bai Qi¡¯s left hand. On seeing two Rune Marks on it, he finally believed.
¡°You reached Second Stage after just one small training session, are Legendary Beast Masters really this powerful?¡±
President Qin¡¯s face flickered with disappointment; it seemed he had some regrets about not being able to break through to legendary status. However, he quickly adjusted and spoke earnestly.
¡°Now that you have broken through to the Second Stage, it¡¯s time to carefully select your second pet beast. The first one was a Mutant Species which you encountered due to good luck. This second one can¡¯t be taken lightly.¡±
President Qin had barely finished his sentence when he realized there was a creature missing from the training ground. Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s awkward smile, the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily.
¡°Did you contract the Arctic Ice Wolf?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, saying, ¡°Yes, this creature has been raised in my house for a while; there¡¯s a bit of emotional attachment.¡±
¡°You could keep it as a pet, given your talent, you could have contracted a much better beast.¡±
President Qin was extremely sullen, but since the pet beast had been contracted and it couldn¡¯t be changed, he could only find an alternate solution.
¡°Forget it, an Arctic Ice Wolf it is then. At least it¡¯s from a superior species, so it needs good nurturing.¡±
¡°There are a few sessful breeders of Arctic Ice Wolf kings in the Beast Master Association. I¡¯ll be sure to get them to guide you.¡±
An Arctic Ice Wolf King? It seemed there was no chance for this creature¡¯s evolution to go in that direction anymore.
Thinking about the half-machine armor on the Husky, Bai Qi ruled out this evolution path.
¡°Are there any other potential evolutionary routes? I already have one Ice Attribute beast.¡±
President Qin pondered a moment, then said, ¡°As far as I know, the Arctic Ice Wolf has two other cultivation paths.¡±
¡°One is the Blood Moon Werewolf, a dual attribute of Dark/Ice, at the Mid-Level Lord Level. However, the breeding difficulty is quite significant, and it needs a specific environment, so I don¡¯t rmend it.¡±
¡°The other one is the Green-scaled Wolf, a dual attribute of Ice/Poison,
Low-level Lord, with rtively low breeding difficulty. You can attempt this if you¡¯re interested.¡±
¡°Note, both of these directions will slightly influence the temperament of the Arctic Ice Wolf, so prepare yourself for a significant change in its nature.¡±
¡°The main reason I don¡¯t suggest you cultivate the Blood Moon Werewolf is that a Beast Master was once injured by his own pet beast. It may be very powerful, but it¡¯s too risky.¡±
Upon hearing of the two alternate evolution paths given by President Qin, Bai Qi felt both of them were promising, even if the creature experienced significant changes in its temperament.
Could it be more exaggerated than Beta, this daft creature?

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Have you decided which path to choose?¡±
Beta was of spirit power variation, so both of these evolution routes shouldn¡¯t affect it too greatly.
However, the attribute of the Blood Moon Werewolf perfectly ovepped with Alpha¡¯s, which Bai Qi hadn¡¯t nned on cultivating at first, otherwise, the attribute would¡¯ve been too singr.
As for the Green-scaled Wolf, its poison attribute isn¡¯t bad, but judging by the situation a few days ago, Bai Qi seriously doubted he might have been poisoned by this idiot.
¡°President, are these all?¡±
President Qin shook his head and said, ¡°Apart from beasts from the insect system, most pet beast only have at most two or three types of evolution. Your skeleton is already an exception.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
Bai Qi was silent, he was initially going to see if there were any powerful evolutionary models to learn from, but now it seems he was overthinking it.
Even though Beta is an Arctic Ice Wolf, its ice attribute ability has already been degenerated, strictly speaking, other than its looks, this thing has little connection with an Arctic Ice Wolf.
In that case, it seems that he doesn¡¯t necessarily needs to stick to the Arctic Ice Wolf¡¯s evolution path?
After all, with the Evolution Egg in hand, can¡¯t he just DIY at will?
Surely Steel Garuru is just right on the road!
Bai Qi quickly let go of his doubts, bowed to President Qin and said, ¡°I roughly have an idea, thank you for your guidance, President.¡±
¡°Uh, don¡¯t you need a cultivation method?¡±
President Qin asked in doubt, ¡°Or are you just nning to cultivate along the regr path?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s take one step at a time, who knows if it might evolve on its own.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°By the way, President, are there any other benefits in the Special Training Program? Like funding, materials, and the like.¡±
¡°Have you spent your 20 million dors?¡±
¡°Cough cough, money is easy to spend in this era, you know it, President.¡±
President Qin looked surprisedly at Bai Qi and said, ¡°There are such benefits, but you won¡¯t need them yet.¡±
¡°The Association will provide a free Lord-level pet beast contract for Special Training members, originally, I nned to help you pick one, but who knew you were so fast and contracted first.¡±
Offer a free Lord pet beast?
Can I break the contract now?
Bai Qi felt his heart bleed.
¡°Uh, President, this benefit won¡¯t expire, will it?¡±
President Qin shook his head and said, ¡°That won¡¯t be the case, you just need to wait a while.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good, otherwise, I would¡¯ve suffered a big loss.¡±
Bai Qi exhaled, though theoretically, he could evolve any pet beast into a Lord or higher, but why not take the easier route if he could?
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±
Bai Qi still hadn¡¯t figured out the effect of the Bronze Egg yet and he had almost depleted his God¡¯s Water, it was no use staying here any longer, Bai Qi was thinking of leaving.
President Qin stopped Bai Qi, and handed over a flyer and said, ¡°Wait a minute, since you have already broken through, I can give you this task.¡±
¡°The Haoli Cup Friendship Combat Competition? It seems familiar¡¡±
Bai Qi took the flyer, and looking at the moving hormones, he immediately remembered.
Alpha¡¯s first opponent in the battle, that muscr hulk, seemed to be from the Haoli Dojo.
¡°In recent years, the construction of Gusu City has be more prosperous, with many dojos and financial groups wanting to move in, Haoli Dojo is one of them.¡±
¡°Originally, for the Haoli Dojo¡¯s reputation in the Federation, they should have been on the headlines in Gusu City, but they were unlucky and kept being reced by other events.¡±
Other events?
Bai Qi blinked, then understood.
First, the Son of Celestial Brilliance settled in Gusu City, then the Lamentation Tower appeared. Almost all of Gusu City¡¯s inhabitants were drawn to these two events, seemingly oblivious to anything else.
¡°So, to alleviate this situation, the Haoli Dojo specially organized a friendlypetition and invited all promising apprentice Beast Masters from Gusu City to participate.¡±
¡°In order to achieve maximum impact, thepetition¡¯s prize is quite substantial. The top three winners even get extra bonuses. This has been quite the news recently.¡±
Prizes?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes instantly morphed into little money symbols.
Although he was a Second Stage Beast Master, he had not gone through the professional Beast Master assessment. As such, he was still considered an apprentice Beast Master. Participating in such apetition would be akin to unbridled killing, wouldn¡¯t it?
¡°Don¡¯t get ahead of yourself. The Haoli Dojo is hosting this friendlypetition to gain a reputation, not to hand out money to you. You can be sure they are fully prepared,¡± President Qin interrupted Bai Qi¡¯s daydreams.
Qin continued, ¡°This time you¡¯re representing the Gusu City Beast Master Association. If you lose too badly, I will hold you ountable.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Understood, I¡¯ll do my best.¡±
President Qin paused for a moment, ¡°I will teach you a method to hide Rune Markster. Before the opening of the next Secret Realm Tower, don¡¯t let anyone know you¡¯ve broken through.¡±
One could hide Rune Marks?
This was just like ying a pig to catch a tiger ¨C the perfect trick!
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, carefully following President Qin¡¯s instructions and promptly hiding his second Rune Mark.
¡°Thepetition is in three days. Go home and prepare well. I will have the application information delivered to you in time.¡± Once President Qin saw that Bai Qi mastered the method, he didn¡¯t linger and left right away.
As the president of the Gusu City Beast Master Association, he had a lot of tasks to attend to every day. If it weren¡¯t for Bai Qi, he would have barely had the patience to meddle in other matters.
After President Qin left, Bai Qi also went straight back home. Looking at the two Bronze Eggs that were still yet to show any hints of hatching, he sat cross-legged and started to meditate.
Crack.
Finally, Alpha¡¯s egg broke through, and Bai Qi immediately awakened, pressing the timer in his hand.
Bai Qi noted the time, waited a bit, and then Beta¡¯s egg also broke open.
¡°Each Bronze Egg takes two hours, twice the duration of a ck Iron Egg. I wonder if their effect also doubles.¡±
Bai Qi called upon Beta first, and immediately information was transmitted from the Bronze Egg to him.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Growth Level]: First Stage, four Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Perfect), Steel Skeleton (Master), Ice Sword sh (Proficient), Shadow Lotus Skill (Master), Ice Armor (Master)
[Energy Value]: 5000
[Condition]: Evolvable
A single evolution had increased by one level, and the Energy Value had increased by 2000?
If this trend was to continue, it was entirely possible for Alpha to surpass 10,000 Energy Value before reaching the next stage!
The pet beasts need to consume Energy Value when using skills, and the amount of Energy Value directly determines the number of times a pet beast can use their skills.
Same level, same skills, Lord Level beasts can undoubtedly use the skills more times than an Elite Level, the difference lies in this Energy Value.
Generally speaking, an Elite Beast like Alpha¡¯s minimum Energy Value at the first stage should be 1000. Now it¡¯s increased by 2000, that¡¯s equivalent to having the energy of two more Elite Beasts.
Are Bronze Eggs really this terrifying?
Chapter 50 - 49: Friendly Competition
Chapter 50: Chapter 49: Friendly Competition
Trantor: 549690339
After checking Alpha¡¯s status, Bai Qi summoned the Husky out again.
[Name]; Arctic Ice Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (Psychic mutation)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Seven
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Mechanical w, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance
[Energy Value]: 1100
[Condition]: Evolvable
The Husky¡¯s growth rate was not as significant as Alpha¡¯s, but considering that both the Husky¡¯s growth level and bloodline level were lower than Alpha¡¯s, this progress was quite considerable.
Woof woof woof!
(This dog feels powerful and unstoppable!)
The doubling of the energy value made the Husky somewhat excited, and it ran towards Bai Qi¡¯s studio with all its legs.
¡°How can it have so much energy?¡±
Seeing the Husky acting like this, Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He was about to open the electric control device, but found that the remote control was damaged, and on it, he could clearly see a canine imprint.
¡°Alpha, help it calm down.¡±
Rattle, rattle.
(Calm down?)
Alpha was a bit puzzled, but after that, it blocked the Husky¡¯s path with a blink of an eye andnded a heavy punch on Husky¡¯s head.
Awoooo¡
(This dog has been careless; it didn¡¯t manage to dodge¡)
The Husky fell unconscious onto the ground with reluctance and was then carried back to Bai Qi by Alpha.
¡°Eh, I only asked you to freeze it, why did you beat it?¡±
Rattle, rattle.
(But that¡¯s how they do it on the TV.)
Looking at Alpha¡¯s innocent face, Bai Qi remained silent.
There was a need to filter the movies that Alpha watched.
Forget it, this is fine too. After all, fainting does not affect evolution.¡±
Bai Qi put the Husky into the Beast Control Space and evolved it again, while Alpha, as usual, went to its own training room to train.
They were both from the Undead n, but that bird was much stronger than he was.
Was it because it had an extra pair of wings?
Alpha thought carefully, unconsciously moving its own ribs.
Buzz, buzz, buzz¡
Bai Qi reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes to pick up the phone.
¡°The user you dialed is on another call, please wait¡¡±
¡°Bai Qi!¡±
President Qin¡¯s deep voice came from the phone, immediately awakening Bai Qi.
¡°Mr. President, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter? Can you tell me what day it is?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion. It was not until he saw the Haoli Cup flyer on the table that he realized what was happening.
I swear, I actually forgot about this!
Bai Qi nced at the sun, which had almost moved to the middle of the sky, and said, ¡°So, would it be toote for me to get there now?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
Hearing President Qin¡¯s obviously a bit angry tone, Bai Qi was struck as if by thunder.
Did he lose the prize money just like that?!
How was he supposed to cheat?! How was he supposed to conduct research?!
Bai Qi suddenly felt that his life was plunged into darkness, while President Qin¡¯s voice came out from the phone.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, thepetition hasn¡¯t officially started yet, but if you don¡¯t hurry up, I think it¡¯s necessary to talk to Luo Xiang about the quota.¡±
Bai Qi immediately jumped up from the bed, drank a bottle of God¡¯s Water to stop the hunger, and headed straight for the Haoli Dojo.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
Jiangwu District.
Haoli Dojo.
True to its name, all of Haoli Dojo¡¯s buildings were full of strong man style. Coupled with the muscr strong men at the entrance, it felt exceptionally different in Jiangwu District, known for its water town style.
On the temporary stage in front of the dojo, eight young beast masters were seriously listening to a very muscr man¡¯s speech.
Lu Yuan, who was feeling ufortable under the scorching summer sun, leaned towards Gao Cheng and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t the director of the Haoli Dojo a man of character? Why can he talk so long?¡±
Before Gao Cheng could answer, Han Wei sneered and said, ¡°Heh, if you knew his real name, you wouldn¡¯t be surprised.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°The name of the director of the Haoli Dojo is Wen Ruoshui. Once he starts his speech, it¡¯s like a long river that never runs dry. So, you better sit tight.¡± Han Wei nced at the two empty spots in the center of the crowd and said, ¡°Moreover, there are people who haven¡¯t shown up yet. I guess we won¡¯t start anytime soon.¡±
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned but then realized what he meant.
In order to showcase the strength of their own dojo, Haoli Dojo had invited the top five trainee Beast Masters from the probationary assessments to participate in the friendshippetition.
The contestants from Haoli Dojo had arrived early, but as for the home team from Gusu City, two people hadn¡¯t arrived yet.
One was the wealthy Xia Xuan, who probably looked down on this kind ofpetition; it was understandable that he didn¡¯t show up.
The other, of course, was Bai Qi.
¡°How much longer do we have to endure the sun¡¡±
Feeling the increasingly hot air around him, Lu Yuan was full ofints. Finally, when the students of the Haoli Dojo could barely stand it any longer, Bai Qi finally arrivedte.
¡°That guy¡¯s finally here.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi appear, Gao Cheng sighed with relief. However, Han Wei looked speechless, saying, ¡°But what the hell is up with his look? Did his beast turn against him?¡±
Because Bai Qi was in such a hurry to get out, he was still in a disheveled state, and with his panda-like dark circles, he looked just like someone who had been drained of energy.
But what was even more dumbfounding was, why did this guye riding a skeleton?
¡°I swear, my next beast will definitely be a flying one!¡±
Bai Qi got off Alpha and made a secret vow.
The traffic in Gusu City was really moving. If it weren¡¯t for his prompt decision to let Alpha carry him on the road, God knows where he would be stuck right now.
Bai Qi stood in his assigned ce, and Gao Cheng whispered, ¡°Why did youe sote, Bai Qi, and¡ you are¡ is everything okay?¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I just haven¡¯t slept welltely.¡±
Bai Qi yawned and looked at Wen Ruoshui, who was still delivering his speech, and said, ¡°How long has this big guy been talking? When will thepetition start?¡±
Out of curiosity about new things, Bai Qi had been tirelessly evolving his two pets for the past three days, which led to the fatigue that even the God¡¯s Water couldn¡¯t erase.
¡°The time is almost up. Once again, thank you all foring. Now, ourpetition will officially begin.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi arrive, Wen Ruoshui finally stopped the speech and began to announce the rules for thispetition.
¡°In order to fully demonstrate the strength of all you young talents, this friendshippetition will not follow the traditional 1VS1 match but will be a gauntlet match..¡±
Chapter 51 - 50: Exercise Reveals Age
Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Exercise Reveals Age
Trantor: 549690339???????????? ¡ã
¡°Guardian match?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled, while Gao Cheng on his side exined, ¡°Simply put, a guardian match is like setting up a stage for a duel. You can choose whether to attack or to defend. The one who defends the most times wins.¡±
Han Wei pursed his lips and said, ¡°This method is a huge test of the stamina of the beast and the Beast Master. It¡¯s quite troublesome. Tsk, if I had known, I wouldn¡¯t havee.¡±
¡°Oh, I see.¡±
Bai Qi finally understood but noticed everyone was looking at him strangely. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What is it? Is there something on my face?¡±
¡°This is basic knowledge for Beast Masters. You don¡¯t know?¡±
Lu Yuan looked at Bai Qi speechless. He could not fathom how Bai Qi had attained such strength in a mere month.
I had no choice. I¡¯m a mechanical weaponry student. I¡¯ve never studied these topics.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders innocently.
Well, it seems like everyone has no other questions. Let¡¯s begin then.¡±
As soon as Wen Ruoshui announced the start of the contest, he stepped down and a professional referee reced him.
¡°This guardian match uses a point system. Each yer has one chance to attack and one chance to defend. One point will be awarded each time a yer defends sessfully. The points of defeated yers will also be added to the victor¡¯s total.¡±
¡°So, who wants to be the first defender?¡±
As soon as the referee¡¯s words fell, a contestant emerged from the Haoli Dojo and took the lead.
¡°Haoli Dojo student, Tian Ping, at your service.¡±
Tian Ping stepped into the center of the arena, and a six-armed beast slowly appeared from a light-white array.
[Name]: Mighty Frog
[Race]: Combat System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: st Punch, Double Kick, Stomp, Vortex Palm
¡°Chairman Wen, this student of yours is quite talented. Howe he hasn¡¯t be a professional Beast Master yet?¡±
President Qin nced at Tian Ping¡¯s Mighty Frog a few times and asked, ¡°This Mighty Frog, it must be close to the second stage, right?¡±
Wen Ruoshui chuckled, ¡°President Qin, you tter him. This kid only knows how to fight and nothing else, that¡¯s why he hasn¡¯t been able to pass the exam. It¡¯s quite embarrassing.¡±
I don¡¯t believe you.
President Qin¡¯s smile remained, but he was cursing inwardly.
This Mighty Frog is at least at the first stage, eighth level. Its endurance attribute is pretty good, and if you think Wen Ruoshui didn¡¯t n this, then he might as well quit after all these years.
These days, even Combat System Beast Masters have so many tricks.
Lucky we are also prepared. Otherwise, we would really fall for his scheme.
The contestants below also noticed the difference in the Mighty Frog. Lu Yuan, in particr, started thinking of strategies.
In a guardian match, one wins by umting points, so under normal circumstances, thetter you enter the arena, the greater the advantage. Tian Ping¡¯s Mighty Frog is an evolved form of Braced Frog and excels at closebat. However, his own Ghost Bone Giant Tiger is also of the closebat type. Even with the boost from Intimidation, he doesn¡¯t have much advantage. Maybe it¡¯s better to wait and see.
¡°No one wants to challenge? I guess I¡¯ll go first then.¡±
Seeing no one willing to take the lead, Bai Qi decided to step onto the stage, but Han Wei beat him to it.
¡°Sorry, I have an appointmentter, so I¡¯ll go first.¡±
So what if you have a meeting? I was nning to finish early and go home to sleep.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, but he still stepped down.
Han Wei waved at Bai Qi and then summoned his Wind Demon Wolf. He told
Tian Ping, ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry, so can we speed this up?¡±
Tian Ping shrugged, indicating he didn¡¯t mind. The referee on the side decided to start the match.
¡°Let the match begin!¡±
As soon as the announcer finished speaking, the Wind Demon Wolf vanished with a heavy stomp. It started running rapidly around the ring,unching des of wind from all directions towards the Mighty Frog.
Knowing that the Mighty Frog¡¯s closebat abilities were extremely strong, Han Wei naturally wouldn¡¯t be so foolish as to engage in such a fight. Moreover, his Wind Demon Wolf also had powerful long-range capabilities.
¡°Mighty Frog.¡±
Seeing that Han Wei did not intend to engage in closebat, Tian Ping conveyed a thought to the Mighty Frog. He showed no surprise.
Ribbit, Ribbit.1
The Mighty Frog gave a low croak and its burly body nimbly evaded all the wind des. Then, with a heavy stomp, an invisible shockwave spread out in all directions.
Stomp.
Han Wei evidently hadn¡¯t anticipated the Mighty Frog¡¯s quick movements. The Wind Demon Wolf was instantly engulfed by the shockwave before it could evade, and fell heavily to the ground.
Immediately after, the Mighty Frog sprang up, its heavy foot aiming for the Wind Demon Wolf. The Wolf hurriedly dodged, but the Mighty Frog¡¯s six arms all swung together, miraculously creating a giant water vortex in the air and forcefully pulling the Wind Demon Wolf back in.
Thump!
The Wind Demon Wolf failed to dodge in time and was struck down by all six arms of the Mighty Frog, crashing to the ground and losing itsbat strength.
¡°Han Wei, you were defeated just like that?¡±
Seeing Han Wei defeated so easily, Gao Cheng, who was familiar with him, found it hard to believe. The remainingpetitors also snuffed out their desire to challenge him.
Despite his wish to end the match as early as possible, Han Wei hadn¡¯t fool around. But he hadn¡¯t envisioned such an oue.
¡°There¡¯s something off about that guy¡¯s level.¡±
Han Wei spat bitterly, called back his Wind Demon Wolf, and stepped down from the stage. He cautioned, ¡°His pet beast¡¯s level and skill proficiency are pretty high. Be careful.¡±
Be careful, how do we be careful?
Lu Yuan¡¯s face contorted.
They originally nned to let others wear down this guy first, but if even Han Wei was defeated in a sh, they would probably be unable to drain even a bit of the opponent¡¯s strength on stage.
¡°Level problem?¡±
Bai Qi nced at Tian Ping¡¯s mature face, and everything suddenly clicked.
This old man was impersonating a young man to participate in the
petition. This was absolutely despicable.
He needed to be seriously suppressed.
Seeing Bai Qi seemed to be ready to step in, Gao Cheng warned anxiously, ¡°Bai
Qi, you¡¯re not in the best condition. Maybe I should give it a go first?¡±
¡°No need. I am afraid if I wait any longer, I would fall asleep.¡±
We didn¡¯t allow you to go on stage because we didn¡¯t want that to happen!
Feeling like you could copse at any time¡
If even Bai Qi lost, the younger generation of Gusu City would bepletely suppressed by the Haoli Dojo.
By then, who knew what the professional assessment difficulty would turn into.
Bai Qi and Alpha went up on the stage together. Before they could introduce themselves, a shout of surprise came from the spectator seats of Haoli Dojo.
¡°Is that you?! That treacherous bastard?!¡±
Who is badmouthing me?
Bai Qi followed the voice, only to see Shi Yong ring at him indignantly, as if he couldn¡¯t wait to jump up onto the stage and have another round with him.
It¡¯s him? That exins it.
Seeing that Shi Yong was the one speaking, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t find the words to exin, but involuntarily studied both Tian Ping and Shi Yong.
¡°What, is there something on my face?¡±
Tian Ping asked, a bit embarrassed by Bai Qi¡¯s scrutiny.
Nothing, just noticing how all the individuals from the Haoli Dojo look so old¡ ahem, mature. Yes, mature!¡±
Bodybuilding really does make you age¡ying low is surely the best way to go..

Chapter 52: Chapter 51: No Backstabbing, Smacked with a Cudgel Instead?
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Looking old?¡±
Tian Ping was immediately a little annoyed and said, ¡°I call this maturity!¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t argue, followed along with Tian Ping¡¯s words and responded with a yawn, ¡°Let¡¯s get started, I need to get back soon.¡±
¡°Brother Tian, be careful with this guy, he¡¯s cunning, specializes in kidney stabs!¡±
With Shi Yong¡¯s words, the expressions of all those present changed when they looked at Bai Qi, especially the men who unconsciously covered their lower back.
Maybe this is how he got through the ninth floor¡
¡°I remembered, his little skeleton moves fast and specializes in backstabbing, very ruthless.¡±
¡°Good thing my Stubborn Stone Ball doesn¡¯t have a waist, it¡¯s not afraid of being stabbed.¡±
¡°What if he stabs you instead?¡±
¡°Hiss¡ are young people so shameless these days, I need to be more careful in the future.¡±
Hearing the surrounding conversation, Bai Qi was somewhat speechless.
His reputation was utterly destroyed in one fell swoop.
¡°Alpha, remember to be light-handed, um, don¡¯t backstab.¡±
Crack crack.
(Don¡¯t backstab? I understand.)
Alpha looked at his towering six-armed opponent and instantly understood Bai Qi¡¯s meaning.
¡°Are both yers ready? Then let the match begin!¡±
The referee once again announced the start of the match, and Tian Ping, who was prepared, didn¡¯t rashly attack, but prioritized defense, with one pair of his arms tightly guarding his lower back.
He¡¯s determined tobel him as a kidney hitter.
¡°Alpha, attack.¡±
Bai Qi instructed Alpha, who immediately turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the Mighty Frog, moving even faster than Han Wei¡¯s Wind Demon Wolf.
Han Wei frowned slightly, ¡°This won¡¯t work for him unless he can stay far from the ground, otherwise, it¡¯s difficult to dodge the Stomp.¡±
The Wind Demon Wolf was extremely fast, but it could not fly, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been hit by the Stomp.
Although Alpha was faster than the Wind Demon Wolf, it was even more grounded, and going up rashly would be inviting death.
As expected, seeing Alpha rush forward, the Mighty Frog lifted its right foot, obviously nning to use the Stomp.
But Alpha was faster, shing at the ground with its sword as the Mighty Frog stomped down, countless Ice Flowers swiftly spread, creeping towards the Mighty Frog.
Crack!
The Ice Flowers collided with the shockwave from the Stomp, instantly turning into countless ice crystals dancing in the sky, but they equally negated the residual wave of the Stomp.
The Mighty Frog was blocked by the ice crystals, and couldn¡¯t see Alpha¡¯s position clearly, only vaguely aware of a figure rapidly approaching.
¡°Mighty Frog, use st Punch.¡±
Tian Ping immediately issued a newmand to Mighty Frog, who threw all six mighty fists forward, releasing st energy from the punches, instantly turning the sky full of ice crystals into nothingness.
President Qin was somewhat surprised, ¡°This seems a little different from regr st Punch.¡±
The usual st Punch only uses a great amount of force to damage the enemy¡¯s interior to achieve a st effect.
But Tian Ping¡¯s st Punch exploded in mid-air, obviously unusual.
Wen Ruoshui nodded, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right. Tian Ping¡¯s Mighty Frog took in the power of the st Stone. Its st Punch will far surpass its usual strength.¡± ¡°That kid¡¯s name is Bai Qi, isn¡¯t it? If he¡¯s smart, he¡¯ll immediately have his beast retreat or risk severe damage from the st Punch if it hits an Undead creature.¡±
Wen Ruoshui seemed to kindly remind President Qin who twitched at the corner of his eye, replying, ¡°Heh, heh¡ Thanks for the tip.¡±
That little brat¡ he better beat this guy good or else he¡¯ll never stop mocking me.
¡°Brother Tian¡¯s st Punch is formidable. I wish I had a st Stone too.¡±
Shi Yong, who also had high hopes for cultivating a Mighty Frog, said this with an envious expression. Meanwhile, a student nearby snickered, ¡°That¡¯s because youcked the guts to participate in this battle. Otherwise, you could¡¯ve imed the championship.¡±
¡°The championship? Forget about it. With Brother Tian around, I don¡¯t have a single chance.¡±
Shi Yong shook his head and red at the ring, saying firmly, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t mind not having the st Stone, just as long as I can give the guy a solid beating.¡±
First, it was betrayal, then it was running away from a fight. Shi Yong had been holding his breath in anger.
As the Mighty Frog¡¯s st Punchnded, the storm of ice crystals finally dissipated, exposing Alpha¡¯s figure to the Mighty Frog¡¯s sight.
Croak, croak!
The Mighty Frog didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately executed a Double Kick towards Alpha. You could vaguely see some st Energy left on itsrge feet.
After absorbing the st Stone, every Combat System skill the Mighty Frog used could be powered up with st Energy, it just hadn¡¯t done so before.
However, faced with the Mighty Frog¡¯s fierce attack, Alpha¡¯s movements were far too slow to react in time.
¡°This guy, he couldn¡¯t have been hit by the st wave, could he?¡±
Seeing Alpha dumbfoundedly standing without moving, Lu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but panic.
Even though he was somewhat resentful towards Bai Qi (he would never admit it was because Bai Qi¡¯s beast evolved too quickly), it didn¡¯t mean he wanted to see Bai Qi lose just like that.
If even the first person to clear the Lamentation Tower couldn¡¯t beat Tian Ping, then what was his perennial fifth ce worth?
Lu Yuan looked at Bai Qi, wanting nothing more than to rush up and remind him to dodge quickly. However, Bai Qi looked thoughtful, having an odd expression on his face.
Bang!
Finally, the Mighty Frog¡¯s Double Kicknded on Alpha. The deep blue armor shattered loudly, disintegrating into fragments upon contact with the st Energy, and fell to the ground.
However, after all the ice fragments fell, not a trace of Alpha could be seen.
¡°His pet is a skeleton, it couldn¡¯t be that its bones were shattered, could it?¡±
Anxious, Tian Ping quickly looked over in Bai Qi¡¯s direction.
Both beasts and Beast Masters have a Soul Contract. If a beast dies, the Beast Master would also bear a huge bacsh. Moreover, they would have one less contract position for the rest of their lives.
If he really killed Bai Qi¡¯s beast, then the friendship match that day would bepletely ruined.
Perhaps, it would even sour the rtionship between the Haoli Dojo and the Beast Master Association.
Thinking of this, Tian Ping became somewhat frantic, and the Mighty Frog was also a bit at a loss.
Thunk!
Just then, a figure shot out from the block of ice under the Mighty Frog¡¯s foot. Before the Mighty Frog could react, the figure swung itsrge sword body and mmed it onto the Mighty Frog¡¯s head.
Croak¡
After receiving a heavy blow, the Mighty Frog felt dizzy and faint. Alpha then happily ran to Bai Qi¡¯s side, waiting for his praise.
Bai Qi nced at the increasingly bizarre atmosphere around him and sighed helplessly.
No backstabbing, so you resort to a sucker punch?
They say that beasts follow their masters, so why is it that Alpha hadn¡¯t picked up a bit of my positivity?

¡°Bai Qi sessfully challenged, points inherited.¡±
The referee checked the condition of the Mighty Frog and, confirming that it had lost its fighting ability, announced the result of the match.
¡°Damn, this guy, he¡¯s really cunning!¡±
Seeing that Tian Ping was actually defeated by such means, Shi Yong was righteously indignant, wishing he could charge up and give Bai Qi a good lesson.
¡°It¡¯s my loss.¡±
As the lead character who took the surprise blow, Tian Ping quickly cooled down after a brief burst of anger. He walked in front of Bai Qi and said, ¡°Your beast is very powerful. We should exchange pointers again when there¡¯s a chance.¡±
¡°Yeah, a fair and square exchange.¡±
Tian Ping wasn¡¯t a fool; the Mighty Frog was already at the first stage ¨C stage eight. Even with a sneak attack, it wasn¡¯t one that could be defeated with one blow.
So the only exnation was that the skull itself was very strong.
¡°Alright, if there¡¯s a chance.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and then looked at Alpha, saying, ¡°I told you not to backstab. What¡¯s the difference with this surprise attack? Although it¡¯s very effective, a frontal assault is also very necessary.¡±
Creak, creak.
Alpha seemed to understand and nodded. Then he saw another student from Haoli Dojoing up to the stage.
¡°Haoli Dojo, Junior Beast Master Liu Fengyu, here to challenge!¡±
Liu Fengyu¡¯s face was full of disdain. He red maliciously at Bai Qi and Alpha, as if he wanted to devour them.
Well, his hostility had obviously reached its peak.
Bai Qi forcefully knocked on Alpha, saying, ¡°Gusu City Junior Beast Master, Bai Qi.¡±
Liu Fengyu snorted and then summoned his pet beast.
It was a huge mosquito with knotted muscles.
[Name]: Muscr Mosquito
[Race]: Combat System, Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Electric Sting, Harden, Using Force to Throw, Million-Weight Punch
Anotherbat system pet beast, and it also had short-term flying ability. Although its level was obviously lower than Tian Ping¡¯s Mighty Frog, it was not weak.
Seeing Liu Fengyu summon the Muscr Mosquito, President Qin said to Headmaster Wen beside him, ¡°Headmaster Wen, you do have quite a variety of beasts here. This kind of beast is notmonly seen in Gusu City.¡±
¡°Haha¡ If President Qin wants it, I shall send you a couple of them after the match?¡±
¡°Then I would be rude to refuse.¡±
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a deal was reached with just two sentences.
¡°Are both contestants ready? The match begins!¡±
The moment the referee¡¯s word ended, Liu Fengyu roared out, and the Muscr Mosquito also pped its wings and quickly flew towards Alpha.
This kind of opponent who relies on sneak attacks to win is definitely not able to withstand a single blow as long not given time to hide.
Therefore, Liu Fengyu used his full strength from the start.
¡°Muscr Mosquito, Million-Weight Punch!¡±
Although the Muscr Mosquito was not small in size, it moved with great agility and changeability once its wings pped. Coupled with the
Million-Weight Punch, one would never know from where the attack woulde.
¡°Alpha, make it quick.¡±
Creak, creak.
(Understood.)
A glint of fire in Alpha¡¯s eyes, tightly gripping his filial sword, he swung it at the Muscr Mosquito that was attacking him with giant punches.
Sharp ice des flew out from the Ice Sword in an instant, blocking the space in front of him. Although the Muscr Mosquito avoided them with its agile flying skills, its skill was forcibly interrupted.
¡°Muscr Mosquito, again, directly attack!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi block the Muscr Mosquito¡¯s attack in this way, Liu Fengyu was somewhat annoyed and issued instructions again.
Buzz buzz¡
The Muscr Mosquito nodded and once againunched a million punches at Alpha. Suddenly, countless bones enveloped within Shadow Department Power rose from the ground, engulfing the Muscr Mosquito like a ck rose.
¡°This¡¡±
Seeing the dense shadow energy in the Shadow Lotus Skill, Liu Fengyu stood stunned. He wanted to direct the Muscr Mosquito to break free, but the mosquito did not dare to move a bit.
At such a close distance, the Muscr Mosquito could clearly feel the dark energy above. This energy could significantly injure them, creatures of the Combat System.
Feeling the Muscr Mosquito¡¯s strong resistance, Liu Fengyu had no choice but to give up.
¡°Bai Qi is the victor, points continue.¡±
¡°Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?¡±
The referee timely dered the result of the match, paused, and added a sentence.
With his experience, he could naturally see that Alpha was holding back. Unless there was an ident, the rest of the contestants would not necessarily be his opponents even if they sequentially faced him.
Indeed, upon hearing the referee¡¯s inquiry, the Haoli Dojo and the Gusu City team members all fell silent.
First Tian Ping, then Liu Fengyu.
Both of these contestants had considerable strength, but both were easily defeated by Bai Qi.
Looking at Alpha¡¯s current state, it was clear there was no exhaustion, so a prolonged war of attrition wouldn¡¯t work.
After waiting a while and seeing no one stepping onto the stage, the referee, receiving a nod from Headmaster Wen, cleared his throat.
¡°Since no one is challenging, then I dere this contest¡¯s champion is Bai Qi of Gusu City!¡±
Hearing the referee announce the result, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, and he looked expectantly at Headmaster Wen, who was slowly approaching.
The flyers didn¡¯t mention how much the prize money was, but the Haoli Dojo should be fairly generous, being arge dojo and all.
Headmaster Wen came up to Bai Qi, looked him up and down, andughed, ¡°Gusu City is indeed full of talents, even able to develop such a powerful beast from such a weak teenager. It seems our dojo¡¯s training is not enough.¡±
Saying this, Headmaster Wen red at the direction of the Haoli Dojo, and said, ¡°Starting today, do 100 push-ups, too sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day. Got it?¡±
¡°Got it!¡±
All the students of the Haoli Dojo answered in unison, their voices even drowning out the noise from the audience below.
Just because someone is weak doesn¡¯t mean they can¡¯t train a powerful beast. Are all the Beast Masters of your Haoli Dojo supposed to fight themselves?
Hearing Headmaster Wen¡¯s words, Bai Qi muttered to himself, but thinking about the award he was waiting for, he forced himself to endure.
After boosting morale, Headmaster Wen, satisfied with his own students¡¯ performance, took an envelope from the attendant¡¯s hand and presented it to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°This is the prize money for this championship.
Congrattions.¡±
¡°As for the other materials, you¡¯ll have to choose.¡±
Headmaster Wen extended hisrge hand, offering two stones, one red and one blue, to Bai Qi.
¡°These two stones, the st Stone, and the Thunder Stone, are part of my private collection as for their specific uses¡¡±
Headmaster Wen pointed at the st Stone and said, ¡°You¡¯ve seen the effect of the st Stone just now. It can increase your attack with st Power.¡±
¡°While the effect of the Thunder Stone is quite simr, it¡¯s reced with a Thunder Attack.¡±
¡°Both of these stones are Epic materials, they just differ in attribute.1
¡°So, have you decided which one to choose?¡±
Chapter 54 - 53: Only Children Make Choices
Chapter 54: Chapter 53: Only Children Make Choices
Trantor: 549690339
A burst of envy.
The ability of a pet beast not only contained innate potential, but it also could be influenced artificiallyter.
Epic materials like the st Stone or the Thunder Stone, if used in a certain way, could imbue additional attributes to one¡¯s pet beast.
Compared to the unknown amount of prize money, these two Attribute Stones held a more attractive appeal for Beast Masters.
¡°Epic material, damn it!¡±
Lu Yuan¡¯s eyes shed with envy, wanting to challenge Bai Qi right away. However, after recalling how effortlessly Bai Qi beat the two from Haoli Dojo, he hung his head low.
The properties of st Stone and Thunder Stone shed with the Undead Department. Even if we get the most of them, we¡¯d only exchange them for some money. We do not envy.
Right, we don¡¯t envy.
Han Wei looked at the Lu Yuan beside him with confusion, saying, ¡°Eh, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡±
Nothing, he¡¯s probably feeling a little overwhelmed, he¡¯ll be fine.¡±
Gao Cheng smirked, ¡°Which one do you think Bai Qi will choose?¡±
Han Wei shook his head, ¡°Honestly, it¡¯s hard to choose. The Thunder Stone conflicts with the properties of the Undead creatures, so it¡¯s out. The st Stone isn¡¯t as fussy, but Bai Qi¡¯s pet beast already has the Ice Attribute, so it doesn¡¯t work either.¡±
¡°But just casually picking one to sell, he¡¯s probably not going to feel quite right about that.¡±
Chicken ribs, they¡¯re totally chicken ribs!¡±
Gao Cheng looked thoughtfully at Bai Qi on the field, who had already made a decision.
¡°Can I have both of them?¡±
Everyone¡
How did he have the nerve to ask that?!
President Qin covered his face in shame. Thankfully, he hadn¡¯t publicly revealed that Bai Qi was a member of the Beast Master Association. Otherwise, his bold im today may have left the association red in the face.
If word had gotten out, people might think that the Beast Master Association was really poor.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s response, Wen Ruoshui was also taken aback, then he asked with a smile, ¡°And if I said no?¡±
¡°Phew, those parts in the novels where the seniors generously reward the juniors really fooled me.¡±
Bai Qi silently spat, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take the Thunder Stone.¡±
Both attributes were good. However,pared to the st Power, Bai Qi liked the Thunder Power a bit better.
With one thunderbolt execution, all evils retreat.
Why did the novel heroes always need the help of Thunderbolt? Wasn¡¯t it to satisfy the demands of readers like Bai Qi?
¡°Hahahaha, I like you, such a straightforward person. Take both of them!¡±
Wen Ruoshui burst intoughter and handed both Attribute Stones to Bai Qi. Everyone was astonished.
He really got both?!
Chairman Wen, do you have more? I want some too.
Not too many, just a billion or two will do.
¡°However, these two Attribute Stones need a specific method to absorb them. If you don¡¯t understand, you should make more trips to the Haoli Dojo. I can teach you.¡±
Hearing Wen Ruoshui¡¯s words, President Qin immediately stood up, quickly reaching Bai Qi, and said, ¡°Chairman Wen is new and probably busy. Bai Qi, don¡¯t bother Chairman Wen. If you have any questions, just ask at the Beast Master Association.¡±
This guy, trying to steal people right in front of him, indeed, one who trusts these guys with all muscles in their heads is an idiot!
¡°Then I won¡¯t be polite, thank you, Headmaster Wen!¡±
Bai Qi hadn¡¯t expected Wen Ruoshui to be so straightforward, but he quickly grasped Wen Ruoshui¡¯s purpose and swiftly pocketed both Attribute Stones.
Seeing how Old Qin had taken over, who knew if the other party might regret it? It was better to put it away soon.
As for any specific method, Bai Qi was not in a hurry.
With the Evolution Egg, he didn¡¯t need any special method. He could just brute-force his way through everything.
¡°Haha, true. We can talk more about this another time.¡±
Seeing President Qin act this way, Wen Ruoshui immediately understood and didn¡¯t press the issue, continuing on with the awards for the second and third winners.
¡°Well then, let¡¯s end the battle today.¡±
Upon hearing Wen Ruoshui announce the end of the match, the host who had been idle from the start immediately stood up, announcing:
Everyone, our Haoli Dojo officially opens in Gusu City today. If you are interested in joining, you can speak to our staff about the detailster.¡± The first hundred people to apply will receive a free Elite Pet Beast and professional training guidance, so hurry up¡¡±
Upon hearing the host¡¯s words, the crowd immediately erupted in surprise. Whether they had already formed a contract or not, many were intrigued.
First, they offered two Epic Attribute Stones as prizes. Now, they¡¯re giving away Elite Pet Beasts. This Haoli Dojo was indeed generous.
People had said that these dojos were backed by strong consortiums, and it certainly seemed to be the case.
With this in mind, the prize money would certainly not be meager.
Bai Qi chuckled, starting to n his next shopping spree.
The Husky had leveled up quite a bit and was nearing the edge of racial evolution.
Even though he didn¡¯t know if Husky would undergo racial evolution like Alpha did, he still had to prepare.
But before that, he needed a good sleep }
With the prize money and Attribute Stone in hand, Bai Qi immediately sensed the onset of exhaustion. He longed to find a ce to lie down and nap.
¡°After this,e with me to the Association. There¡¯s something I need to discuss with you.¡±
President Qin grabbed Bai Qi by the shoulder, and the two of them quickly made their way back to the Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi watched in envy, realizing how convenient it was to have a space-based beast. It was faster and morefortable than a flying-based beast.
Unfortunately, space-based beasts were not easy toe by. He could only dream for now.
However, he could perhaps keep some space-based materials and customize using Evolution Egg?
¡°Looking at your performance today, you must have trained rather hard these past few days. But don¡¯t overdo it. You can¡¯t just rely on your youth. Otherwise, you¡¯ll regret it when you¡¯re older.¡±
President Qin said earnestly, not noticing the odd expression in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes.
What a fascinating man President Qin is¡
Oh right, President Qin, earlier you said you wanted to discuss something with
Did someone from headquarterse?¡±
President Qin shook his head. ¡°Headquarters recently discovered a Secret Realm Tower from the Founding Emperor Period. Everyone who¡¯s free has gone there, so there¡¯s nobody left to manage us here.¡±
At the recent news, Bai Qi was taken aback. Was the deal off?
What about the big profit he had anticipated?
However, Luo Xiang has found a new buyer for you, so it¡¯s had no effect on us.¡±
Bai Qi fell silent.
Couldn¡¯t he just spit it out? It was nerve-wracking.
¡°May I know who this buyer is?¡±
President Qin smiled mysteriously, pointing at the seven-star g fluttering at the entrance of the Association, saying: ¡°Who do you think can take away the exploration rights of the Secret Realm Tower from the Association?¡±
Stunned, Bai Qi asked uncertainly, ¡°Is it¡ the Federation?¡±
President Qin nodded. ¡°Yes. Actually, the tower that headquarters is interested in was discovered by the Federation. The Association doesn¡¯t have the rights to explore it. But after Luo Xiang¡¯s negotiations, the Federal Government agreed to trade the priority exploration rights of Lamentation Tower for the chance to co-explore Emperor Tower.¡±
¡°In a way, this can be considered a private transaction between the Federation and you, separate from the Association.¡±
¡°So when the Federation¡¯s representatives arrive tomorrow, don¡¯t hold back..
Feel free to name your price!¡±

Trantor: 549690339
Upon hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi had an epiphany.
He had originally been worried that headquarters might use their superior-subordinate rtionship to suppress him, but now that the buyer had been switched, he was not panicking at all.
Was there anyone richer than the Federation around here?
¡°Go home and have a good rest today, and think about what you need. Otherwise, I won¡¯t care if you¡¯re shortchanged tomorrow.¡±
Bai Qi immediately approached President Qin and said, ¡°How about you give me some advice? I can¡¯t just ask for a piece of mythical material, can I?¡±
¡°Why not?¡±
¡°Uh, really?¡±
Bai Qi was dumbfounded and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t mythical materials very rare?¡±
¡°Mythical materials are very rare, but so are Combination-type Secret Realm Towers.¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Once you get your professional Beast Master license and join the Special Training Program, you¡¯ll understand the value of Combination-type Secret Realm Towers.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, as if he had opened a new world¡¯s door.
¡°Can I ask for more then?¡±
Upon returning home, Bai Qi immediately took out the prize money from thepetition and started to check it.
¡°10 million dors¡ Those major powers sure have money.¡±
Bai Qi expertly input the ount number and password, and immediately there was an additional $10 million in the ount.
¡°Alpha¡¯s Cold Spirit Iron and Soul-nurturing Wood have not yet been fully absorbed, so they can be put aside for now. It¡¯s time to upgrade Beta.¡±
Since the next level of the Lamentation Tower required a Second Stage Beast Master, it might be a bit insufficient relying solely on one pet like Alpha. It would be safer to upgrade the Husky first.
¡°Alpha¡¯s size isn¡¯t big, so he can¡¯t installrge weapons. That¡¯s a problem.¡±
Bai Qi took out a bottle of God¡¯s Water to refresh himself, then summoned the Husky.
Woof woof woof!
(I¡¯m out again!)
Being kept by Bai Qi in the Beast Control Space for three days, the Husky was indeed somewhat stiff. As soon as he came out, he excitedly ran around the yard.
However, the Husky didn¡¯t y for long before he changed his destination and headed straight for Bai Qi¡¯s workshop.
(My art, here Ie!)
¡°Alpha.¡±
Bai Qi sighs helplessly at the sight, summoned Alpha too. Alpha immediately brought the Husky back.
Woof woof woof!
(You stinky bone, wait for me!)
The Husky red at Alpha with a resentful face, and gave up struggling.
¡°Stay still, I¡¯m going to level you up.¡±
Bai Qi had Alpha carry the Husky to the workshop, connected his smart-brain to the Husky¡¯s, and started operating it.
¡°Basic assembly, basic mechanical engineering, basic weaponry,plete guide to basic materials, basic energy conversion¡¡±
¡°Mhm, it should all be there.¡±
Bai Qi carefully checked, and after confirming that nothing was missing, took out a bunch of materials and ced them in front of the Husky. ¡°Try assembling another Spider Web Ball.¡±
Huh?
Human, did you take the wrong medicine today?)
The Husky looked at Bai Qi with shock in his eyes, full of skepticism. He cautiously touched the parts in front of him, and after seeing no unusual reaction from Bai Qi, he began to work freely.
This time, the Husky¡¯s assembly speed was noticeably faster than before. In a short while, he assembled three Spider Web Balls.
¡°Alpha, be on standby at all times.¡±
Although Bai Qi had input all the basic mechanical knowledge he currently possessed into the Husky¡¯s smart-brain, thinking of the Husky¡¯s powerful passive, Bai Qi still couldn¡¯t put his mind at ease.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the three Spider Web Balls showed no sign of movement. Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°Alpha, try throwing one.¡±
Alpha nodded, picked up a Spider Web Ball, and threw it out.
Bang!
The Spider Web Ball exploded onmand, ejecting the web inside. It was no different from the ones Bai Qi had made himself.
¡°Having a theoretical basis really does make a difference.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, while the Husky on the side had its head drooping, looking listless.
So art, has it gone extinct now¡
Boom!
Just at this moment, another Spider Web Ball suddenly exploded. Although it was frozen by Alpha in time, Bai Qi and the Husky were still left with sooty faces.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Bai Qi picked up thest Spider Web Ball that Alpha had frozen before it exploded and looked at it with his Codex.
[Name]: Unstable SpiderWeb Ball
[Introduction]: Canunch a web to trap enemies, but is more likely to hurt oneself.
Bai Qi was silent, pulled the Husky in front of him, and the Husky¡¯s data appeared before him.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (Psychic Mutation)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage-Ten Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Mechanical w, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance, Mechanical Assembly
[Energy Value]: 2900
[Condition]: Evolvable
The data was quite normal, except there was an added skill of Mechanical Assembly.
Try again, still doing the SpiderWeb Ball.¡±
Bai Qi pushed the Husky to the parts again, watching every step of the Husky until it was finished.
Again, three SpiderWeb Balls werepleted, Bai Qi checked each one with the Codex, and found that only one was unstable, the rest were all normal.
The steps had no issues whatsoever, they were even more precise than when he operated them himself, yet there were these unstable Spider Web Balls.
Does this count as a sort of special passive¡
Bai Qi nced speechlessly at the Husky who was thrilled, thought for a moment, then took out the Thunder Stone and the st Stone. He suddenly had an idea in his heart.
It seems that perhapsrge weapons are unnecessary after all.
Bai Qi opened the Union website and bought arge number of materials. He then took the two stones to the Husky.
¡°Here¡¯s a chance for you. Choose your path of evolution yourself.¡±
Originally, he wanted to use the Thunder Stone inbination with the Mechanical Engineering Department to develop a new path of evolution.
One side is the Thunderbolt Wolf, the other side is Mechanical Armament. If it runs out of electricity, it can shock itself. Isn¡¯t that more convenient than that Wolfpained Alliance Couple?
But looking at it now, doesn¡¯t the st Stone seem to suit this guy more?
Huh?
(Really, could it be true?)
The Husky looked skeptically at Bai Qi, and only began to choose after Bai Qi¡¯s repeated assurances.
First, the Thunder Stone. The Husky just sniffed it, and an electric current flowed through the Husky¡¯s nose.
Woof!
I don¡¯t want to be electrified again!
The Husky quickly retreated two steps, obviously remembering some unpleasant memories, then turned his gaze towards the st Stone.
Huh?
(This is¡)
As soon as the Husky saw the st Stone, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on its head; it immediately picked up the st Stone in its mouth.
This is it!
Chapter 56 - 55: Valley-Breaking Mechanical Wolf
Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Valley-Breaking Mechanical Wolf
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Are you sure?¡±
Seeing Husky had chosen the st Stone, Bai Qi sighed inwardly, then put away the Thunder Stone, saying, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s get started.¡±
Bai Qi gestured for Husky to continue holding the st Stone, then took out some God¡¯s Water and Angel Fruit from the storage box and put them nearby. Husky was already at the zero stage and at level ten, and ording to Alpha¡¯s experience, letting Husky carry the st Stone at this time meant there was a great probability of evolving.
Moreover, Husky also had a bunch of mechanical creations on him, which may further increase the probability of evolution.
As expected, when Bai Qi made Husky use the Evolution Egg, a strong wave of weakness returned, and even the Angel Fruit that he had held in advance fell from his hand.
Was this Epic Material so terrifying?
Bai Qi, fighting dizziness, tried to pick up the Angel Fruit but Alpha, who had been by his side, picked it up and handed it to him.
At the crucial moment, Alpha was still reliable.
Bai Qi quietly gave Alpha a thumbs up, then began to chew the fruit ferociously.
Crisp and chicken vored.
As he chewed, Bai Qi appraised the taste of the Angel Fruit, regaining some energy, then opened a few bottles of God¡¯s Water and drank it, finally feeling somewhat better.
¡°Survived that one. Next time I have to put this in my mouth in advance.¡± Although he knew that after recovery, both his physical constitution and spirit would improve, the feeling was really quite ufortable.
He hoped this idiot could evolve into a form powerful enough.
As Bai Qi waited anxiously, the Bronze Egg finally cracked open again. The air around suddenly exploded and Alpha, who had always been silently guarding Bai Qi, quickly erected an ice wall in front of Bai Qi.
What would the effect be if one were to use a legendary material for evolution, given how powerful the effect from an epic material was?
Finally, the explosion in the air gradually faded, and a giant wolf half a human height slowly stepped out of the smoke.
The cold, dark red machinery covered half of its body, and one could barely see red energy flowing in its deep blue eyes, adding some sense of pressure.
It seemed to have evolved sessfully.
Howl?
But not long after this form took shape, Husky¡¯s expression changed, and with its tongue hanging out, it started running around the yard, causing explosions from time to time.
¡°Well, it¡¯s still the same stupid dog.¡±
Bai Qi covered his face and sighed, nced at Alpha next to him, and Alpha immediately waved his Ice Sword and froze Husky.
However, this time, Husky was not helpless as before. A sh of red light in his eyes and the iceyer where the mechanical w touched exploded.
This guy, can already control the st Power?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes sparkled, and he didn¡¯t stop the contest between the two beasts, but instead stood aside and watched.
Ice Skeleton and st Wolf, who would win?
After breaking free from the control of the iceyer, Husky boldly rushed towards Alpha. Red energy wound around the mechanical w and ruthlessly pped Alpha.
The energy derived from an entire st Stone was notparable to any of his previous small mechanical creations.
Thinking that he could finally suppress this hateful skeleton, Husky showed a joyful smile on his face and even began to daydream about making this skeleton serve him in the future.
Because of this, Husky didn¡¯t notice at all that a broad Ice Sword was swinging at him from the left.
Awoo awoo¡.
Apanied by a series of screams, Husky was knocked to the ground by the Ice Sword. The st Power which had just been finally condensed alsopletely dissipated, and Husky had to endure Alpha¡¯s beating.
¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t break it.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi held back hisughter and stopped Alpha¡¯s action. Although Husky¡¯s intelligence was higher than Alpha¡¯s, his battle experience was much poorer. It served him right to be beaten for thinking about other things during a fight.
Bai Qi walked up to Husky, focusing his Spirit Power on Husky.
[Name]: ??? (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (spirit power variation)
[Growth Level]: First Stage, Level One
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Race Skills]: Perception (Mastered), Mechanical Assembly (Beginner), st Strengthening (Beginner), Current Resistance (Mastered), st w ¡¯ (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 5000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Husky¡¯s panel had entirely changed. Despite being just at the first stage, level one, its Energy Value had already matched Alpha¡¯s level four capacity.
Moreover, it had two new skills rted to st Power.
¡°I understand the st w, but what¡¯s st Strengthening? Beta, show me.¡±
Bai Qi, having never heard of such skill, ordered this to Husky.
Equally curious about its new ability, Husky thought for a moment, trotted over, picked up a nut, and flung it away.
Boom!
The nut exploded mid-air, resembling a small hand grenade.
Wasn¡¯t this just a stable version of a bomb maker?
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, controlling Husky¡¯s desire to continue practicing.
This evolution was evidently sessful. Husky had acquired offensive capabilities and woulde in handy once the designed configurations were in ce and ready for modification.
But what is the meaning of the question mark here in the name section?
Could it be that Husky¡¯s evolution path was unique and had not been documented before?
Seems usible. Leaving aside the st Power, the fusion of mechanics and flesh lifeforms would also be unique to Husky.
¡°So, I have to name the race?¡±
Stroking his chin, Bai Qi contemted.
Possessing the st Power, having half mechanical body, and being from the Wolf Species.
Why not name it st Meeh Wolf then!
Bai Qi pped his palm, prepared to confirm Husky¡¯s new species, when he saw Husky¡¯s head shaking wildly.
¡°What, don¡¯t like it? I think it¡¯s really good.¡±
Bai Qi was very pleased with the name he came up with, he thought it sounded better the more he said it.
Woof, woof, woof!
(I want to name myself.)
Husky conveyed his thoughts to Bai Qi. A mechanical arm then emerged, swiftly writing a fewrge characters on the ground.
¡°Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf?¡±
Bai Qi read the words out loud, unconsciously ncing at Alpha standing beside him.
That name¡ it carries a massive grudge, doesn¡¯t it¡
It¡¯s not like these two had known each other for that long.
¡°Let¡¯s just call it Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf. We should set longer-term goals, stop picking on our own kind.¡±
Awooo ~
(Alright, I¡¯ll give you humans this one.)
Husky raised his head proudly and strutted towards the workshop. However, Alpha¡¯s soul me within his eye sockets flickered intensely.
Creak, creak.
(Master, may I punch him?)

Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Federal Security and Logistics Management Bureau
Trantor: 549690339
The next day.
Bai Qi arrived at the Beast Master Association on time, and after inquiring with the front desk receptionist, he headed for the meeting room. President Qin and a well-dressed tall man were already in the room by the time Bai Qi arrived.
For some reason, the two were not conversing, and simply sat quietly in the room. Seeing this made Bai Qi feel somewhat guilty as he initially thought he was lucky not to bete.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re here. Let me introduce you. Yi Yu, special representative of the Federal Security and Logistics Management Bureau,¡± President Qin gestured to the man, ¡°And this is Bai Qi.¡±
¡°Nice to meet you, I¡¯m Yi Yu.¡±
Yi Yu stood up, smiling as he extended his hand, ¡°The name of the Federal Security and Logistics Management Bureau is a bit long, so we usually just call it the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
This brought to mind a certainic book character, their bureau chief wasn¡¯t a one-eyed bald guy by any chance, was he?
¡°Hello.¡±
Bai Qi shook Yi Yu¡¯s hand and took his seat at President Qin¡¯s prompting.
¡°I¡¯ve already briefed Bai Qi about the general situation. Now it¡¯s time for the two of you to negotiate the specifics of the trade.¡±
President Qin clearly had no intention of beating around the bush, and he got straight to the point before leaning back and falling silent.
Are you not going to help me bargain, Old Qin?
Even if you told me to name my price, you could at least give me an idea, couldn¡¯t you?
At least tell me what this Federal Security and Logistics Management Bureau is about.
Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly shot President Qin a look, but Qin didn¡¯t seem to notice. No matter how hard Bai Qi strained and twitched his eyes, Qin remained impassive.
¡°Um, I hope you don¡¯t mind me addressing you directly as Bai Qi,¡± Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s state, Yi Yu smiled warmly, ¡°Rx, Bai Qi. I¡¯m just here on behalf of the Thirteenth Bureau to negotiate a trade with you, not the Federation. So you can just take it easy.¡±
Can I say the very existence of this Thirteenth Bureau is what makes me a bit timid?
Seeing Bai Qi standing there silently, Yi Yu began, ¡°Before I came here, I got to know a bit about you, Bai Qi. You¡¯re a first-year student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Star Mechanics Academy. At 534 p.m. on May 6th of this year, you awakened your talent and contracted an undead department beast, a Mutant Skeleton Soldier, in the Elf House.¡±
Do these guys specialize in prying into personal information? They even checked when I awakened my talent?
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°That¡¯s correct.¡±
Having finished, Yi Yu gave a small smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for overstepping. It¡¯s a professional habit to be thorough. This is just to make our trade easier. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±
Do I have a choice in the matter?
Bai Qi shook his head in response, and Yi Yu continued, ¡°Considering your current developmental path, I¡¯ve prepared two trade proposals for you.¡±
¡°The first one: the Thirteenth Bureau can provide you with a Mythical Material and ess to all Mechanical Engineering blueprints up to the Legendary Level. But the key to the Lamentation Tower and the right to explore it must belong entirely to the Thirteenth Bureau. Neither you nor anyone in your association will be allowed to enter for exploration before the Thirteenth Bureau opens the Lamentation Tower again.¡±
The old man Qin was right. This federal institution really was wealthy. They begin negotiations by offering a Mythical Material and the entirety of the Mechanical blueprints. They truly were arrogant in their wealth.
Without mentioning the value of the Mythical Material, ess to all blueprints of the Mechanical Engineering Department up to the Legendary Level was already a considerable asset.
In simple terms, with these materials, provided Bai Qi secured sufficient funds, he could manufacture any mechanical armament except the Federation¡¯s core weapons.
It seemed he wouldn¡¯t be at a loss to exchange the key to the Secret Realm Tower of uncertain value for a Mythical Material and ess to the entire Mechanical Engineering blueprints.
After contemting for a while, Bai Qi turned his gaze back to Yi Yu, ¡°And the second option?¡±
Yi Yu let out a small grin, ¡°For the second option: the Thirteenth Bureau will still provide you with a Mythical Material, but we won¡¯t be able to provide the Mechanical Engineering rted blueprints. The key to the Lamentation Tower will belong to the Thirteenth Bureau, but Mr. Bai Qi, you will still retain the right to explore the tower. However, we request that the Thirteenth Bureau be allowed to explore it three days prior.¡±
¡°Exchanging the right to the Secret Realm Tower for a Mythical Material and ess to the Mechanical Engineering blueprints, I personally suggest that you choose the first option, Bai Qi.¡±
¡°After all, even the Beast Master Association doesn¡¯t have ess to certain Mechanical Engineering blueprints.¡±
Upon hearing this, President Qin remained silent. The Meeh Department was crucial to mankind¡¯s ability to resist the Ferocious Beast Tribe, so each piece of core knowledge was, understandably, held by the Federation. Yi Yu wasn¡¯t speaking out of turn.
Seeing President Qin¡¯s reaction confirmed the truth of Yi Yu¡¯s words for Bai Qi. After contemting for a moment, Bai Qi made his decision.
¡°I choose the second one.¡±
¡°But, I would like to modify one condition.¡±
Actually, had it been earlier, Bai Qi would¡¯ve undoubtedly chosen the first one.
However, when he thought about Luo Xiang¡¯s specific advice to him to learn about rune knowledge and to study hard, Bai Qi felt the value of the Lamentation Tower must¡¯ve greatly exceeded his expectations.
The attitude of the Thirteenth Bureau was the best proof of this.
Yi Yu nodded in understanding, ¡°You can. After all, negotiations are underway, and we can discuss any ideas.¡±
¡°I need a Mythical Material belonging to either the Undead or Space Department, but I can¡¯t give up the right to explore three days in advance.¡±
The Thirteenth Bureau was subordinate to the Federation and was specifically responsible for handling such matters. If they were given three days to explore first, wouldn¡¯t there be nothing left afterwards?
With this, Yi Yu immediately shook his head, ¡°Mythic Space Materials are far too scarce, and with my authority, I can¡¯t guarantee that to you. However, I can try to apply for Undead ones. As for the three days of exploration rights, I apologize, but this is the bottom line for the Thirteenth Bureau, and I cannotpromise on it.¡±
Seeing how adamant he was, Bai Qi fell silent.
¡°Ahem¡¡±
Seeing both fall silent, President Qin finally intervened, ¡°How about this: keep the three-day priority exploration right for the federation while they will provide some Mechanical Engineering blueprints as well?¡±
Yi Yu pondered for a moment and then lifted his head, ¡°Let¡¯s follow President Qin¡¯s suggestion then. However, when ites to the Mechanical blueprints, I can only provide material up to the fourth stage. Would that be eptable?¡±
At this, Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, trusting President Qinpletely. Given his long years of life and experience, he surely must have had a more profound understanding of the matter.
As for what would be left after three days, that would be a matter of destiny.
Even though he couldn¡¯t attain all the Mechanical Engineering blueprints up to the Legendary Level, having ess to the ones up to the fourth stage was enough for now.
He couldn¡¯t be too demanding after all.
¡°This storage card contains all the Mechanical Engineering blueprints up to the fourth stage. As for the Mythical Undead material, I¡¯ll apply for itter, so it might take some time.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s agreement, Yi Yu took out a storage card and handed it to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi gave Yi Yu the key he had prepared beforehand.
¡°With this, we have a deal.¡±
Yi Yu, with a grin, put the key away, ¡°In six days, President Qin, please clear the vicinity of the Lamentation Tower. The Thirteenth Bureau will thene and take over on time.¡±
¡°Fine, safe travels.¡±
President Qin responded coolly, before asking his secretary to see Yi Yu out.
¡°Mr. President, why do I get the feeling you¡¯re not too fond of this guy?¡±
Waited until Yi Yu left, Bai Qi finally voiced his doubts.
¡°Not exactly, I just don¡¯t want to have too much contact with this madman.¡±
¡°A madman? He seems pretty sane to me.¡±
Bai Qi expressed his doubt, and President Qin said seriously, ¡°That¡¯s because those who have seen him in his insane state have all been sent to Federation Prison.¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t want him to keep an eye on you every day, it¡¯s better to keep your distance.¡±
Well, if he¡¯s a stalker, then Bai Qi better be more cautious..

Trantor: 549690339
President Qin obviously didn¡¯t want to talk more about Yi Yu, and directly changed the topic, ¡°By the way, did you bring the two attribute stones with you? I happen to be free today and could help you figure out how to use them.¡± ording to Luo Xiang, even Thirteenth Bureau might not be able to clear the next tower within three days, likewise for Bai Qi.
So to be safe, it was better to try and increase Bai Qi¡¯s strength as much as possible.
¡°Uh, I¡¯ve already used one of them.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know how, but when Beta touched the st stone, it evolved.¡±
President Qin:¡±¡¡±
¡°Are you sure your talent isn¡¯t elerated evolution?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly and then ran out before President Qin could react.
¡°President, I have to go back and organize some data, so I won¡¯t chat anymore.¡± Watching Bai Qi run away like a rabbit, President Qin quietly pulled back his hand, feeling suddenly exhausted.
It was too casual for pets to evolve these days, right?
It was quite different from when he was training them in his time¡
Woof woof woof!
(Human, something else ising out!)
The Husky, who was studying the Easy Mechanical Manual with Bai Qi, suddenly raised his head and began to bark wildly in the direction of Undead
Hill.
¡°It¡¯s okay, they probably just opened the next tower.
Bai Qi nced at the time, it was thest day of Gusu City¡¯s exclusive exploration rights to Lamentation Tower.
It turned out that the Federal Organization had cracked the gate of the next tower within one day.
ording to this trend, in three days, he would probably only be able to get a little soup.
However, being able to exchange for a mythical material and a manual for Four Stage mechanics was not a loss.
Moreover, he was nowpletely certain that Husky could sense the appearance of the Secret Realm Tower.
¡°If we get a chance in the future, we must pay attention to spiritual materials. If Beta can sense the birth of the Secret Realm Tower in advance, we¡¯ll make a fortune.¡±
Bai Qi imagined the sight of Husky digging out Secret Realm Towers everywhere in the future and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
Arroo?
(Human, are you crazy?)
With a puzzled look on his face, the Husky looked at Bai Qi, who immediately punched the Husky and said, ¡°Stop looking around, did you remember the tactics I told you about?¡±
Woof!
(Are you looking down on someone? Besides, are we discussing tactics now?) The Husky rolled his eyes, controlling a mechanical arm to grab a small metal ball of varying size and type from the row in front of him and threw it at the ice wall in front of him.
Boom!
The metal exploded instantly, sting a small hole in the ice wall. ¡°Cough cough¡ icm radius brass ball, explosion radius 3cm, mediocre effect.¡± Bai Qi nced at the detector beside him, quickly recorded the data, and on top of this row of data, dozens of simr rows of data had already been recorded. The Husky¡¯s st strengthening skill could store the st power in the metal and then explode as needed. Although it didn¡¯t seem as direct as the st w, Bai Qi saw it as more valuable for development.
Adding st power to a mechanical being that already had explosive power would yield a power greater than the sum of its parts.
What he had to do now was to find the metal with the highestpatibility with st Power.
¡°As expected, Kl alloy has the highest energy storage capacity and is much more stable, but the energy transfer speed is still a bit slow, but for now, it will have to do.¡±
After Alpha had repaired the ice wall n times, Bai Qi finally screened out the metal with the highest overall properties, then opened the internal website of the association, and entered the task area to look around.
As a member of the Beast Master Association, Bai Qi could also post tasks on this internal website. In order to find the metal he favored, Bai Qi tried to post a task on it.
¡°is the poster nning to make a bomb? Hey, are you a demon, I want to report.¡±
¡°The one upstairs, zz, verified.¡±
¡°+2¡±
¡°+23333-¡±
¡°Did the original poster run to the wrong ce? This problem sounds like something a mechanic would encounter.¡±
-Not necessarily, those of us with fusion talents also need this kind of metal to make weapons.¡±
¡°Oh my god, fusion talent! Respectfully admiring the big shot!¡±
¡°Paying respects to the big shot!¡±
¡°Long live the emperor¡ uh, sorry, wrong ce.¡±
Why were there so many entricments on the forum of the Association? Bai Qi frowned and quickly skimmed past those meaningless replies, finally finding the information he wanted in an unnoticeable corner.
ck Mountain Old Dog: ¡°If you want to simultaneously ensure energy storage capacity, stability and transmission speed, ordinary native metals won¡¯t work. It would have to be an alloy. If you¡¯re interested, you can try the Titanium tinum Alloy, it should meet your needs.¡±
Titanium tinum Alloy? Why did it sound so familiar?
Bai Qi pondered but couldn¡¯t remember exactly where he¡¯d heard the name, so he decided to directly ask ck Mountain Old Dog.
After waiting for seven or eight minutes, ck Mountain Old Dog responded.
¡°Gusu City, third floor of Jiuding Mall.¡±
Jiuding Mall?
A shopping mall under Xia¡¯s Group?
Was it already built?
Seeing ck Mountain Old Dog¡¯s reply, Bai Qi finally remembered where he had heard the name Titanium tinum Alloy.
It seemed Xia Xuan once mentioned it during one of Professor Chu¡¯s sses? They really managed to develop it.
Bai Qi thanked ck Mountain Old Dog, collected his two pets into the Beast Control Space and headed straight to Jiuding Mall.
¡°WOW, so this is what being backed by a conglomerate feels like, it¡¯s on another levelpared to themercial streets.¡±
Looking at the shopping center in front of him, which looked like arge cauldron, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but praise its grandeur. Seeing what was for sale inside made his eyes spin.
Xia¡¯s group was a rising conglomerate in the Federation, its business was almost entirely rted to Mechanical Engineering. Their prices were pretty high, not suitable for DS teenagers like him.
But now, he had turned things around.
Suppressing his impulse to shop, Bai Qi headed straight for the stores on the third floor.
¡°Titanium tinum Alloy? I¡¯m sorry, but we¡¯re currently out of stock. If you need it, I can rmend some other alloys to you.¡± After listening to Bai Qi¡¯s purpose, the third floor¡¯s shop assistant apologized, shook his head, and started rmending other alloys to him.
¡°For example, this Taishan Alloy is simr to the Titanium tinum Alloy, and its properties are only slightly different. You can consider it.
Bai Qi picked up the Taishan Alloy, weighed it in his hand, and rejected it immediately.
Husky¡¯s stature was too small, the weight of this Taishan Alloy was too heavy. If they used it on Husky, he could forget about moving quickly.
¡°Don¡¯t like it? No worries, we still have¡¡±
The shop assistant introduced Bai Qi to some different metals, but they were allmon alloys. Bai Qi looked around casually, but none of them really interested him.
Forget it, let¡¯s make do with the Ki alloy for now.
Bai Qi walked around but didn¡¯t find any alloys he favored. He was about to leave when a tall and thin figure blocked his way.
Bai Qi tried to sidestep it and leave, but the figure still blocked his path.
¡°Excuse me.¡±
¡°Huh- is this your attitude towards an old opponent?
Old opponent?
Bai Qi looked up, and waspletely dumbfounded when he saw Xia Xuan, who was standing in front of him with a proud face.
So, having one fight makes you an old opponent now?

Chapter 59: Chapter 58: Mechanical Restructuring
Trantor: 549690339???????????????? &
Xia Xuan nced at the metal shop behind Bai Qi, suddenly thought of something, and asked, ¡°Have you reached the second stage?¡±
Oh my god, this guy is too sharp, he can even figure this out?
Bai Qi nced at the second Rune Mark that he still kept hidden, unsure where he had given himself away.
As a mechanical warfare student, you naturally chose the Mechanical Engineering Department, anding to Jiuding Mall to buy materials shows your good taste.¡±
Xia Xuan seemed quite pleased with Bai Qi¡¯s expression, and continued, ¡°Just so happens, I have also just broken through to the second stage, you can apany me for another round.¡±
So it was just a wild guess¡
But it didn¡¯t matter, anyway, he no longer needed to keep it a secret after he attempted the second tower.
Bai Qi sighed resignedly and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m in a rush, I don¡¯t have time to y with you.¡±
He had to climb the next tower in three days, and he needed to quickly rece the mechanical armor parts on Husky with Kl alloy to build up hisbat power. He didn¡¯t have spare time to spar with this guy.
¡°You!¡±
Xia Xuan was clearly annoyed by Bai Qi¡¯s attitude, but before he could react, a soft-looking young man who had always been following him stepped forward and yelled at Bai Qi, ¡°It¡¯s your good fortune that our Master Xuan is willing to fight with you, you actually dare to refuse, let me, Hua Rong, teach you a lesson.¡±
How could he encounter such a cliched scene even in another world?
Looking at Hua Rong who was brimming with righteous indignation, Bai Qi was full of dark lines.
¡°Hua Rong, out of the way!¡±
Xia Xuan pushed Hua Rong away, nced at the Titanium tinum Alloy counter behind Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Based on your look, are you here to buy Titanium tinum Alloy?¡±
Bai Qi kept silent, and Xia Xuan seemed to have found Bai Qi¡¯s weakness, a trace of a smile surfaced on his face.
¡°Well, as long as you¡¯re willing to fight me one round, regardless of the oue, I can gift you a batch of Titanium tinum Alloy.¡±
With that said, the smile on Xia Xuan¡¯s face became even brighter.
For someone like Bai Qi who came from amoner¡¯s background, the next step should be to struggle for a while and then reluctantly agree to fight him.
As for the result, naturally, he would be defeated and then take his favor and leave dejectedly.
From small torge, he had yed simr scripts so many times, this time it was just another opponent.
¡°Deal, cheaters will die a bad death.¡±
Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, Bai Qi directly grabbed Xia Xuan¡¯s hand and shook it vigorously. His speed was so fast that even a seasoned GT like Hua Rong felt inferior.
¡°You don¡¯t want to consider it further?¡±
Looking at Bai Qi¡¯s excited face, Xia Xuan asked with some confusion.
¡°Are you backing out?¡±
A trace of contempt appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face, immediately rendering Xia Xuan speechless.
¡°No, let¡¯s fight now!¡±
As the mall carefully established by Xia¡¯s Group, the Jiuding Mall naturally had training grounds, butpared to the training grounds provided by the association, the price was several times higher.
After all, it was a private battleground, mainly for profit, and unlike before, Bai
Qi didn¡¯t have to queue up painfully anymore.
Xia Xuan took Bai Qi into the battleground, and immediately, referees and other relevant personnel entered to prepare.
¡°Both of us are Second Stage Beast Masters, so let¡¯s have a team battle.¡±
Xia Xuan stood opposite Bai Qi and without waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s response, he consecutively summoned two beasts.
One was still the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, while the other one looked like a Sword Dragon Beast, but it was smaller than the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
This fellow really does love the dinosaur series.
Bai Qi removed the concealment of the second Rune Mark, and sessively activated two arrays to summon Alpha and Beta.
Crack crack.
(Master, are we going to fight again?)
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Humans, those two big guys, can I disassemble them?)
The moment the two beasts appeared, they noticed the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus and Mechanical Sword Dragon Beast on the opposite side and seemed to be eager to try it out.
¡°One skeleton, and a crippled dog? Pfft¡ With such a lineup, our young master Xuan could easily crush them!¡±
Looking at the two beasts summoned by Bai Qi, Hua Rong couldn¡¯t help but ridicule him again. Only the referee at the side seemed a bit confused.
The Energy Value of these two beasts seems a bit unusual¡ Looks like I need to get someone to rece this Energy Detection Device.
The referee patted the detector on his head, and after seeing no changes in the value disyed, he simply took it off and started announcing the match rules.
The rules for team matches are, both sides can summon two beasts to fight at the same time. The match will end when all of one side¡¯s two beasts have lost their ability to fight. Do either of the sides have any objections?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, this was his first time participating in a team match, but it wasn¡¯t his first group fight.
After all, he had been trained in the Lamentation Tower, a 2V2 is definitely fair.
The referee confirmed with Xia Xuan once more, and seeing thetter nod, he dered, ¡°If both sides have no issue, then, the match begins!¡±
The referee exited the battleground, and immediately, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus fired several missiles,nding in the middle of the battleground, stirring up a cloud of dust, making it impossible to see the scene on the other side.
Xia Xuan stared closely at Bai Qi¡¯s Alpha, and said, ¡°Last time, I let you ambush me sessfully, this time, I won¡¯t make the same mistake.¡±
Having said that, Xia Xuan pointed to the Fierce Dragon Beast and Sword Dragon Beast. The two Mechanical Dinosaurs quickly transformed, and slowly began to reassemble.
Mechanical reassembly?
Seeing the transformation of the two Mechanical Dinosaurs, Bai Qi immediately recognized it.
The reason the Mechanical Department was able to surpass other departments in a short span of hundred years and relied on by the Federation to coexist peacefully with the Ferocious Beasts, besides having the ability to load nuclear weapons, was primarily due to this mechanical reassembly.
Almost every Beast Master would studybination techniques after contracting multiple beasts.
But no matter how well harmonized, the bestbination techniques were still based on the coordination of multiple beasts, and inevitably there were ws.
However, the Mechanical Department could fuse multiple beasts into a single beast into a new piece of machinery, the effect was definitely more than adding 1 + 1.
Soon after, the Fierce Dragon Beast and Sword Dragon Beastpleted their reassembling. What appeared on the battleground was a dragon-headed giant nearly four meters tall, and the giant held a serrated long sword in his hand.
¡°Come on, let¡¯s see if your skeleton can still beat my Mechanical Tyrannosaurus in a closebat!¡±
Xia Xuan was smiling confidently, looking at Alpha, who was only slightly taller than the Fierce Dragon Beast¡¯s leg, he had already started imagining the scene of the Fierce Dragon Beast ruthlessly crushing Alpha.
As for Husky, Xia Xuan ignored it directly.
What can a crippled dog with mechanical prosthetics do?
¡°Are you sure you want to engage in closebat?¡±
Watching Xia Xuan giving up the greatest firepower output ability of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus for a melee fight with him, Bai Qi¡¯s face became a little funny.
¡°What, are you scared! If you¡¯re scared then admit defeat!¡±
Xia Xuan¡¯s smile became even more distorted, failing to notice the evil smile on Bai Qi and Husky¡¯s faces.
¡°Beta, deploy the artillery!¡±
Chapter 60 - 59: Shrimp and Pig’s Heart
Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Shrimp and Pig¡¯s Heart
Trantor: 549690339
At Bai Qi¡¯smand, four discs flew out from Husky¡¯s half-body armor andnded on the ground, quickly extending into a small turret.
The mechanical folding technology was one of the things Bai Qi learned from the reference materials given by Yi Yu.
Xia Xuan, who was initially taken aback by Bai Qi¡¯s words, was stunned for a moment, but hisughter erupted uncontrobly upon seeing the tiny turret, smaller than the foot of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡ªSword Dragon Armor Model.
¡°A turret? You call this thing a turret?¡±
¡°Fierce Dragon Beast, take them out!¡±
Xia Xuan waved his hand, and the Fierce Dragon Beast immediately charged towards Alpha and Husky with its serrated greatsword. Alpha, seeing this, immediately prepared to fight back, but was stopped by Bai Qi.
¡°Beta, show them what you¡¯ve got.¡±
Woof!
(Roger that!)
With a howl from Husky, the four turrets fired in unison, spewing out not shells, but small metal balls.
Seeing the metallic spheres being released from Husky¡¯s turret, Xia Xuan¡¯s disdain grew. The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus quickly swung its greatsword, smashing all the spheres into fragments.
Even though these metal spheres seemed to possess no offensive power, Xia Xuan would not allow any mishaps this time¡ªhe was here to redeem his former disgrace.
Unfortunately, things did not go as he had nned.
The moment the greatsword came into contact with the metal balls, they burst apart, revealing webs that flew toward the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, covering much of its body in an instant.
However, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus paid no heed to these webs, continuing to move as normal. However, as the number of webs increased, it was forcefully glued to the ground.
¡°ck Widow No.6¡¯s stickiness has passed the test in actualbat.¡±
Watching the webs sessfully restrict the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡¯s movements, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and even made a note of it.
¡°So, you n to restrain my Mechanical Tyrannosaurus with this?¡±
Xia Xuan huffed coldly. Several metal pipes extended from the body of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus and spewed fire across the webs, quickly burning them off.
¡°Of course not.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, snapped his fingers, and the turrets shot out countless steel balls. Theynded on the Fierce Dragon Beast just before it could break free from the web restrictions.
Somended on its surface, others on its joints, with no exceptions¡ªall were firmly attached to it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!¡
As Husky¡¯s eyes shed red, the steel spheres exploded one after another, causing the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus to shake violently.
¡°Miniature bombs? Impossible! How could something so small have this much power!¡±
The surprising potency of the steel sphere explosions had taken Xia Xuan off guard. The connection between the hastily assembled Sword Dragon Armor and the Fierce Dragon Beast suffered damage as a result.
However, the spheres could only damage the rtively fragile joints. The overall structure of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus was not severely affected. ¡°Sword Dragon Beast, dismantle!¡±
Xia Xuan abruptly deactivated the Sword Dragon Beast¡¯s weapons, intending to order the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus to counterattack. However, he soon noticed that Husky had somehow reached the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus. He eyed the Mechinal Tyrannosaurus menacingly, various tools in his mechanical arm.
Awoooo!
(Dismantling brings me joy!)
Ding, dong¡
To the onlookers¡¯ astonishment, Husky swiftly disassembled the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡¯s ankle, knee and limb joints¡
In the blink of an eye, Husky had severed the connections throughout the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
¡°Haha¡ Do you think I would be defeated by the same trick twice after myst failure!¡±
Watching Bai Qi attempt the same tactic, Xia Xuan taunted him bitterly. He immediately sent orders to the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡¯s numerous auxiliary brains. The supposed-to-bepletely-shutdown Mechanical Tyrannosaurus suddenly split apart, preparing tounch an attack on Husky.
¡°Uh, I suggest you not¡ oh, toote.¡±
Upon seeing Xia Xuan insisting on activating the modrponents to make an offensive move, Bai Qi immediately tried to stop him. Still, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡¯s charging was too fast. Before Bai Qi could finish his words, streaks of red energy had appeared all over the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The st Power, agitated by the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡¯s own energy, exploded instantly. This also detonated the umting energy, mercilessly reducing all the individual parts into fragments.
Woof! Woof, woof, woof!
(Art! This is art!)
Husky, who had detected the danger early on and hidden behind Alpha, looked at the continuously exploding Mechanical Tyrannosaurus with eyes full of longing.
When would he be able to create such art independently?
¡°This match is won by Bai Qi!¡±
While Husky was admiring his masterpiece, the referee had already made a decision.
Actually, there was nothing to decide. The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus¡¯s every part had its own standalone energy source. They exploded when triggered by Husky¡¯s st Power. Other than the primary brain housing the soul, the other parts were blown to bits.
Anyone could see who lost.
¡°Young Master Xia, you lost? To a dog?¡±
Witnessing the defeat¨Cand a terribly disastrous one at that¨Cof the
Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, Hua Rong and others who were originally cheering on the sidelines fell silent once again.
Awooo?
(Dog? I am a wolf!)
Husky¡¯s ears twitched, staring back at Hua Rong with an angry look. Bai Qi, on the other hand, waved at Xia Xuan and said, ¡°Young Master Xia, don¡¯t forget the ton of Titanium tinum Alloy you owe me.¡±
¡°A ton? Why don¡¯t you rob me!¡±
Xia Xuan, still reeling from his second defeat, immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, ring at him.
Bai Qi clicked his tongue disdainfully, saying, ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t you say it was free?¡±
Xia Xuan felt his face burning under Bai Qi¡¯s scornful gaze, and said, ¡°I can only give you 100KG, take it or leave it.¡±
Although the Titanium tinum Alloy wasn¡¯t the best Xia¡¯s Group had to offer, it wasn¡¯t something that was readily avable either. The 100KG was already from his personal stash.
¡°Tch, I guess that will have to do.¡±
Bai Qi sighed somewhat reluctantly.
With only 100KG, it was unlikely to be used as a regr consumable. However, it was more than enough to build Husky a permanent half-body armor and turret model.
¡°Please do send the 100KG Titanium tinum Alloy to the Beast Master Association, Young Master Xia.¡±
Bai Qi withdrew his pets and made his way out. As he walked out the door, he suddenly turned back.
¡°Oh, by the way, Young Master Xia, when are you nning our next fight? I¡¯d like to think about what I want in advance.¡±
Puft!
Xia Xuan felt a surge of bitter bile rise in his chest. Hua Rong and others were so angry that they couldn¡¯t speak, pointing at Bai Qi with wide-open eyes.
The nerve of him! What a shameless scoundrel!

The continuous ringing of the doorbell echoed in Bai Qi¡¯s ears while he was busy, yet his attention remained focused on the Rune Dictionary in his hand, showing no intention to get up and answer the door.
¡°Alpha, go get the door.¡±
nk nk.
(Understood, Master.)
Alpha obediently nodded, and with a shimmering sh, he went to the door and opened it, revealing a gigantic griffin standing at the entrance.
¡°Um, hello, is your master home?¡±
Looking at Alpha, who was as imposing as an Ice Warrior, Lv You asked somewhat uncertainly.
nk nk.
(Master, someone is looking for you.)
Alphamunicated Bai Qi telepathically, then started to study the griffin standing in front of him.
More urately, he was examining the griffin¡¯s wings.
(This strange bird, it seems stronger than me.)
Alpha¡¯s ribs twitched unconsciously, as if he wanted to fly like the griffin. At that moment, Bai Qi finally walked out and seeing Lv You, he was somewhat puzzled.
¡°I don¡¯t recall ordering something recently?¡±
Scratching his head awkwardly, Lv You said, ¡°I¡¯m not here for a delivery today. President Qin asked me to escort you to Undead Hill.¡±
Undead Hill?
Has the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s three-day exploration priority expired?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up as he quickly dashed back into his house to store his two pet beasts in the Beast Control Space. After quickly packing up a few items, he came back out.
¡°Shall we start our journey now?¡±
¡°Um, sure.¡±
Lv You nodded, feeling a bit puzzled.
Didn¡¯t the president say that this guy is oblivious to the concept of time? He seems okay to me.
Bai Qi mounted the griffin, which immediately extended its wings. With a few ps, they took off and shot toward the direction of Undead Hill.
¡°In addition to delivering packages, Lv You, you seem to also work as a chauffeur¡ uh, a door-to-door pick-up service?¡±
Lv You nodded and remarked, ¡°I had no other option, Gale Wing is a Lord-level Creature. The materials needed to train it are so abundant, I have to take on extra jobs to afford it.¡±
An inspiring youngster!
Bai Qi looked at Lv You admiringly, remembering how he himself used to rack his brains over earning money.
In contrast, he seemed to have lost that fighting spirit now.
Sigh, money does corrupt!
Gale Wing was fast. It didn¡¯t take them long to arrive near Lamentation Tower.
Lv Younded Gale Wing steadily, ¡°I can only drop you off here. It¡¯s a restricted area ahead and I can¡¯t get any closer.¡±
¡°Alright, thanks for the ride.¡±
The sight of Lamentation Tower was so close, Bai Qi quickly rushed towards it.
Thanks to the long-term ¡°training¡± from the Evolution Egg and the feedback from his two pet beasts, Bai Qi¡¯s physical stamina had considerably improved.
If it were his former world, he could have broken all Olympic records in minutes.
In no time, Bai Qi arrived at the bottom of Lamentation Tower. Seeing him, President Qin instantly came forward and said, ¡°You¡¯re here faster than I expected. It seems getting someone to pick you up was the right call.¡±
So, is that how you see me?
Bai Qi remained silent, looking at the unchanged Lamentation Tower around him, asking, ¡°Where¡¯s the next tower? I don¡¯t see it.¡±
¡°Tower of Gratitude is interconnected with Lamentation Tower. It¡¯s right beneath your feet.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s question, Yi Yu also came over, ¡°I apologize, but the people we sent to explore have not yet exited. It may take some time for you to wait. Aspensation, we will inform you about the first floor.¡±
Just the first floor? That¡¯s stingy.
Bai Qi nodded, exchanging no further words with Yi Yu.
If Old Qin, a cunning fox who had lived several decades longer than him, didn¡¯t want to get too involved with Yi Yu, Bai Qi certainly wouldn¡¯t push his luck.
If he got targeted by Yi Yu, even if Evolution Egg could now be used in the Beast Control Space, there was no guarantee it wouldn¡¯t slip up.
He didn¡¯t want to be sliced up for research like ab rat, or be caged like aying hen.
Yi Yu noticed Bai Qi¡¯s distance, maintaining his smile, he no longer attempted a conversation, silently waiting for the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s exploration team to return.
Whoosh!
Finally, when Bai Qi was getting slightly bored, a man dressed in a warrior outfit and wielding a pair of hammers appeared before the gate.
¡°Xusheng, how did it go?¡±
Seeing the man appear, Yi Yu asked in a low voice.
Li Xusheng shook his head, ¡°There were too many Rune Puppets on the fifth floor, I couldn¡¯t break through.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, pointing to Bai Qi, he said, ¡°This is Bai Qi, the one I told you about. Share with him the situation about the ferocious beasts on the first floor.¡±
Li Xusheng nodded and walked over to Bai Qi. But when he was about to speak, he saw Bai Qi with a haggard face, looking as if he had suffered a huge blow.
Fifth floor? The fifth floor?!!
Do you have any idea how many first-time rewards I missed by five floors?!!
Bai Qi thumped his chest in pain. Only after noticing Li Xusheng approaching did hee back to his senses.
¡°Thirteenth Bureau special task force member, Li Xusheng, Third Stage Beast Master.¡±
¡°Beast Master Association member, Bai Qi, Second Stage Beast Master.¡±
After briefly introducing themselves, Li Xusheng began to exin the situation of the first floor.
¡°The first floor has three Hellfire Sword Demons. Their offensive capabilities are just decent ¨C as long as you break them down one by one, you¡¯ll be fine.¡±
That¡¯s it? Just that?
Bai Qi listened carefully but the story never continued. When he saw Li Xusheng closing his mouth, he became sure of his guess.
¡°Well then, thank you.¡±
Even if it wasn¡¯t much helpful, at least he now knew about their number which was still a piece of information.
¡°No need.¡±
Li Xusheng shook his head, looked at Bai Qi¡¯s extended hand, hesitated for a moment and his double hammers suddenly disappeared. He quickly reached out, skimming shake Bai Qi¡¯s hand and was off.
Crack.
In just a fleeting moment of their handshake, the Evolution Egg suddenly cracked a few times. The progress of the Bronze Egg immediately grew by fifteen percent.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 25%)
[Condition]: Activated
Is this guy a pet beast?
Bai Qi looked at Li Xusheng with some surprise.
It was rumored that once the pet beast evolved to Seven Stage Legend, it gained the ability to transform into a human form. Was the Thirteenth Bureau so extravagant that they sent a Legendary Ferocious Beast to climb the tower?
Bai Qi¡¯s gaze caught Li Xusheng¡¯s attention. The neutrality on Li Xusheng¡¯s face was instantly reced by hostility. At that moment, President Qin stepped in. ¡°He is the descendant of a Beast Master and a Legendary Pet Beast. He hates being treated like a freak so, unless you want him to beat you up, it¡¯s best to stop looking at him that way.¡±
Bai Qi suddenly understood. Feeling remorseful, he waved at Li Xusheng, before swiftly heading towards the entrance.
If a Third Stage Beast Master like Li Xusheng could only reach the fifth floor, this Tower of Gratitude must be challenging.
He better hurry up and climb the tower. If he missed out on the rewards for being the first to clear it, he¡¯d be miserable..

Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi put his hand on the door of the Lamentation Tower, and the door, which was originally covered in flickering ice-blue runes, immediately flipped, identical to the stone door he had encountered on the ninth floor.
He then felt a moment of dizziness, then disappeared from where he stood.
Upon Bai Qi¡¯s disappearance, Yi Yu suddenly asked President Qin, ¡°President Qin, do you think Bai Qi can clear the Tower of Gratitude?¡±
President Qin shook his head, saying, ¡°Even the Thirteenth Bureau couldn¡¯t clear it, how could our small association in Gusu City possibly do it?¡± ¡°President Qin, you¡¯re being modest. I actually think that Bai Qi has a good chance.¡±
Yi Yu smiled, making no attempt to conceal his admiration for Bai Qi, leaving President Qin and Li Xusheng, who was resting at the side, looking on in surprise.
After a moment of spatial disturbance, Bai Qi found himself standing on a red volcano. The environment was much like the eighth floor of the Lamentation Tower.
¡°Alpha, are you able to handle the three Hellfire Sword Demons that will appear?¡±
Bai Qi summoned Alpha. Immediately, three holes opened in the red crystal wall above him, and three Hellfire Sword Demons, each holding a red longsword, descended from it.
¡°Ghoul speak.¡±
(No problem.)
Alpha nodded confidently, his Ice Sword quickly forming in his hand. A bone-chilling coldness emanated from him, spreading in all directions and dispelling the heat of the volcano.
The Elemental System abilities were indeed useful.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then he summoned the Husky.
Woof, woof, woof!
(What is this hellhole? Why is it so hot!)
The moment the Husky appeared, it was startled by the intense heat. Its instinct was to retreat back into the Beast Control Space.
Despite losing its Ice-based skills, the Husky still preferred colder environments. Being put in a volcanic environment was practically torture. ¡°Quit moping around. You didn¡¯t seem to mind when you yed around with explosions.¡±
Bai Qi shoved the Husky away and pointed toward Alpha, who had already begun to engage the three Hellfire Sword Demons. ¡°Keep an eye out. If Alpha can¡¯t beat them, you go up and help.¡±
Woof?
(Can¡¯t beat them? Human, are you joking with me?)
The Husky nced at the energy data disyed on the monitoring device and looked disdainfully at Bai Qi.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Growth Level]: First Stage Seven Level Defining
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Perfect), Steel Skeleton (Perfect), Ice Sword sh (Proficient), Shadow Lotus Skill (Proficient), Ice Armor (Proficient)
[Energy Value]: 11000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Even though Alpha was only at First Stage-Seven Level, its energy value was close to that of a Second Stage. You want me to help out? How rude?
And besides, who wants to help this moronic bonehead?
The Husky cast a nce at Alpha, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, yawned out of boredom, and started fiddling with his mechanical guidebook. Fighting was too boring, and only boneheads like Alpha, whocked a brain, enjoyed it. Studying art was much more interesting.
Seeing the Husky¡¯s attitude, Bai Qi could only shake his head helplessly, but he didn¡¯t make a fuss about it.
While they were bantering, Alpha hadpletely taken control of the pace of the battle. The ming swords of the three Hellfire Sword Demons had been mostly covered in ice, severely diminishing their firepower.
¡°Alpha, finish this quickly.¡±
Ghoul speak.
Alpha nodded, and with a swing of Frost Sorrow, he beheaded the Hellfire Sword Demons. He then picked up a red crystal that had appeared on the ground and returned to Bai Qi¡¯s side.
[Name]: Fire Soul Crystal
[Description]: A product formed after a soul is roasted by mes.
Is this it?
Because it¡¯s not the first time, they gave me this thing?
Is customer service here? Could you please change it to a Soul Stone for me, thanks.
Bai Qi looked somewhat disgustedly at the Fire Soul Crystal in his hand and casually tossed it to the Husky.
Awo?
(What is this thing, can it explode?)
The Husky deftly caught the Fire Soul Crystal and, after a brief examination, became interested.
However, at this time, the teleportation circle to the next level also gradually appeared. The Husky didn¡¯t have time to study it carefully, and was dragged by Bai Qi into the next level.
The second floor was still very hot, but it wasn¡¯t a volcanic scenario, rather it resembled a medieval central European castle.
If you reced the magma in the moat with a river.
¡°Why does it feel like Ironforge? Are the owners of these two towers dwarfs?¡± Bai Qi suspiciously looked at his surroundings, while Alpha was the first to detect something wrong and ceaselessly roared at a wall covered with runes.¡± Boom!
An oddly shaped humanoid mech burst from the wall and immediatelyunched an attack on Bai Qi.
What the hell, why is this level attacking the Beast Master?
Looking at Alpha standing in front of him, Bai Qj immediately put some distance between himself and the mech. At the same time, he patted the Husky¡¯s head, asking, ¡°Got any intel?¡±
So as not to waste the Husky¡¯s sensing abilities, Bai Qi ced the monster guide that President Qin gave him on the Husky, making it easy for it to investigate.
Woof woof!
(Almost there, don¡¯t rush me.)
The Husky was hopping up and down, and its half digital eye scanned the humanoid mech continuously. It quickly obtained specific data.
[Name]: Rune Puppet ¨C I
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department?
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Description]: An ancient mechanical puppet, abilities and attributes unknown A Rune Puppet?
Seems Li Xusheng mentioned it when he came out. Is this the thing he mentioned?
Looking at the Rune Puppet in front of him, with arms of varying thickness and lengths, he even had arge chimney on his back, Bai Qi suddenly became interested.
Although the mechanical department only became popr in the Beast Control system in recent decades, Automatons had been passed down for a long time. Some simr creations existed in severalrge countries before the founding of the Federation.
However, these had basically all been lost. Now that I¡¯vee across aplete one, I naturally want to study it carefully.
¡°Alpha, be careful not to damage it.¡±
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Dumb bone, go easy on it.)
Both the man and the dog showed great interest in the Rune Puppet, causing Alpha, who was originally prepared for a big fight, to suddenly be somewhat restrained.
Giggling¡.
Seeming to sense Alpha¡¯s unease, the attack of the Rune Puppet suddenly became more fierce. Arge circr saw appeared on the Rune Puppet¡¯s right arm, spinning toward Alpha.
Seeing this, Alpha immediately released several streams of frost to block, but they were all easily cut in half by the circr saw. Just as the Rune Puppet was about to reach Alpha, the Puppet¡¯s movements suddenly froze, and the arm holding the saw suddenly exploded.
Did it explode by itself?
Could it be that the owner of this ce isn¡¯t a dwarf, but a goblin?!
Chapter 63 - 62: Rune Puppet
Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Rune Puppet
Trantor: 549690339
Awooo?
(Who from over yonder is crossing tribtion here?)
Seeing the sudden explosion of the rune puppet, the Husky¡¯s eyes lit up, keen to rush over and examine it, but a wall of ice rose before the Husky, blocking its path.
tter tter.
(This is my enemy!)
Alpha stood in front of the Husky, staring at the rune puppet on the ground because of the circr saw explosion, without any hesitation, it immediatelyunched an attack.
(Take advantage of your illness, take your life!)
Even so, this fellow was far from being ill, yet!
Sure enough, as Alphaunched another attack, the circr saw, which had initially been blown away by the st, suddenly flew back and reconnected to the hand of the rune puppet.
Can it actually be yed this way?
This technology seemed to have a hint of mechanical rbination.
Bai Qi became increasingly curious as he watched this, while Alpha¡¯s Ice Sword
sh alsonded on the Rune Puppet.
Thick frost constantly spread through Alpha¡¯s ice sword. Though the rune puppet continued to cut ceaselessly, it couldn¡¯t match the speed of the frost¡¯s spread, slowly restricting its movement.
Bai Qi requested to restrict its movement, and Alpha naturally implemented this thoroughly.
ng ng.
However, just when Alpha was about topletely subjugate the rune puppet, the puppet¡¯s eyes suddenly turned bright red, a huge cannon barrel emerged from its chest, and a hot energy began to converge in the center, leading its icy surface to start melting.
¡°Alpha, take it down first.¡±
Upon seeing the sudden outbreak of the rune puppet, Bai Qi no longer had the leisurely spirit of y, directly ordering Alpha to take it down.
tter tter.
Following Alpha¡¯smand, it lifted its massive sword, and rows of ice des howled out.
With the mastery of Ice Sword sh gradually increasing, Alpha could now control the form of the frost attack, no longer the crude ice flower it was initially. This method was learned from Han Wei¡¯s Wind Demon Wolf.
It seemed effective at present, directly shing the rune puppet into fragments.
Without the external mechanical concealment, there was an hollow metal cube from within the rune puppet, and at the center of the cube, a fiery red crystal was embedded.
A Fire Soul Crystal?
Can this be used as a power source?
Bai Qi, somewhat surprised, looked at the Fire Soul Crystal at the heart of the rune puppet. As he was about to have Alpha pick up the core, runes emerged on it. The fragments of the shattered armor, much like the previous circr saw, also disyed the same patterns before flying back towards the core.
In a short moment, the rune machine began to reform.
It can self-repair? Was ancient technology this powerful?
Bai Qi¡¯s face changed, suddenly understanding why Li Xusheng, a third-stage hybrid beast master, couldn¡¯t defeat the rune puppet.
Was it because he was simply worn down?
¡°Alpha, aim for its core.¡±
Bai Qi issued a newmand to Alpha, which immediately understood. Alpha once againunched an Ice Sword sh, while the rune machine swung its circr saw in defense. The massive cannon on its chest also did not rest,unching attacks of red energy towards Alpha.
However, the frequency of Alpha¡¯s attacks clearly far exceeded that of the rune puppet and it was quickly disassembled again, revealing its core.
This time, Alpha didn¡¯t give his opponent the chance to reassemble. Its dark blue body promptly disappeared into the shadows, transforming into a shadow lotus that directly pierced the core. The previously dazzling runes were corroded by the power of the shadow, instantly dissolving.
After the core shattered, the remaining parts exploded in sequence, not giving
Bai Qi a chance to examine them.
The keeper of this Secret Realm Tower is very stingy indeed.
Bai Qi silently mocked himself for a moment before picking up a piece of red metal that had appeared on the ground to examine it.
[Name]: Red me Iron
[Description]: A metal born under high-temperature conditions that has an extremely strong absorption capacity for mes.
This isn¡¯t too bad, it could be used to create some attribute counteracting tools.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, had Alpha freeze the Red me Iron before handing it to the Husky, and then, without rushing to the next level, began to study the broken core he got from Alpha.
It seemed that due to Alpha¡¯s Shadow Department Power, the core, which should have been a gathering of energy, had been preserved instead.
Bai Qi gave the core a careful examination but didn¡¯t find anything resembling a circuit. The energy from the Fire Soul Crystal seemed to be transmitted out of thin air.
¡°What a pity, the rune on it has been destroyed, otherwise, we might have gotten a clearer picture of the situation.¡±
Bai Qi let out a sigh of regret then turned to the Husky, asking, ¡°Did you record anything just now?¡±
Woof woof!
(Do you think I can get through this ice wall with my height?)
The Husky rolled its eyes somewhat annoyed, looking at the ice wall that had formed just over its height, its resentment was obvious.
¡°Forget it, the next level should still be the Rune Puppet, Alpha, remember to control it directly with the Shadow Lotus.¡±
Bai Qi tossed aside the now discarded puppet core and proceeded to the next level with his twin pets.
Underneath the Lamentation Tower.
Li Xusheng, finally recovered, stood up ready to continue challenging the tower but was stopped by Yi Yu.
¡°Don¡¯t rush, let¡¯s see if he can make it.¡±
Yi Yu pointed at the gradually illuminating fifth rune on the gate and chuckled, ¡°President Qin, the Beast Master Association has quite a few talents recently, eh? A second stage Beast Master has actually made it to the fifth level.
¡°Just a stroke of good luck.¡±
President Qin gave a wry smile, ¡°I have also investigated, isn¡¯t this tower a relic of the Era of Law Emperor? Rune Puppets and the Mechanical Engineering Department are quite rted after all.¡±
¡°True, but this Bai Qi is still quite impressive.¡±
Yi Yu nodded in agreement, just as he was about to say something else, a massive Skeleton Dragon descended from the sky,nding in front of the Lamentation Tower.
The youth with a baby face sat upright on the Skeleton Dragon.
¡°Skeleton Dragon? Are you Heguang¡¯s son, Bai Qiucha? Why didn¡¯t your fathere?¡±
President Qin nced at the Skeleton Dragon a few times and immediately recognized the neer¡¯s identity.
Bai Qiucha called back the Skeleton Dragon and went up to President Qin, bowing slightly, ¡°My dad had a sudden matter to attend to and left Gusu City. In the future, Qiucha might need to rely on President Qin more.¡±
¡°No need to rely on anyone, with your father¡¯s status, no one dares to bully you.¡±
President Qin chuckled, ¡°By the way, what brings you here today?¡±
Bai Qiucha pointed at the Lamentation Tower, ¡°Before my dad left, he assigned me a task, he asked me to clear this Secret Realm Tower.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
President Qin nodded and turned to Yi Yu, ¡°Minister Yi, can we add one more person on our side?¡±
Although the Thirteenth Bureau only asked for three days of priority exploration rights, it was only for Bai Qi. ording to practice, the Thirteenth Bureau has exclusive exploration rights for this month.
Yi Yu smiled saying, ¡°The son of Legendary Celestial Brilliance, of course it is possible.¡±
¡°Xusheng, you can go in as well.¡±
Li Xusheng nodded, nced at Bai Qiucha and turned towards the entrance, while Bai Qiucha furrowed his brows, but followed in as well..

Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Not Upholding the Martial
Morality
Trantor: 549690339
The two of them, one leading and the other following, arrived at the entrance. Li Xusheng saw that the rune for the fifth floor was flickering, a hint of surprise crossing his eyes.
A Second Stage Beast Master was about to challenge the fifth floor so soon?
No wonder this guy was the first to clear the Lamentation Tower.
Looking at the persistently flickering rune for the fifth floor, Li Xusheng couldn¡¯t help but stop in his tracks, as if he wanted to see how far Bai Qi could go-
¡°Move, I¡¯m in a hurry.¡±
Just as Li Xusheng halted, Bai Qiucha overtook him from behind and walked directly toward the entrance.
As the Legendary Son, this wasn¡¯t Bai Qiucha¡¯s first solo exploration of the Secret Realm Tower. If it hadn¡¯t been for the specialness of this tower as mentioned by his father, he might not have evene.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng furrowed his brow, an unintended sh of bloodlust in his eyes.
¡°Cough cough, what a crappy tower, ganging up on Beast Masters.¡±
Just as Li Xusheng was about to explode with rage, a disheveled Bai Qi appeared at the entrance, tiny sparks still visible in his hair and clothes.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s disheveled state, President Qin understood and sympathized despite his regrets.
A Third Stage Beast Master like Li Xusheng was stuck on the fifth floor, so it was understandable that Bai Qi, a Second Stage Beast Master, couldn¡¯t get past.
He might have been a bit too hasty.
¡°Bai Qi, how do you feel?¡±
President Qin walked over to Bai Qi and asked in a low voice. At the same time, Bai Qiucha, who had been preparing to enter the Secret Realm Tower, also halted, examining Bai Qi closely.
He was somewhat interested in whoever his father considered noteworthy.
Bai Qi shook his head, saying, ¡°The fifth level has fifty Rune Puppets at the least at the First Stage, and they can regenerate; we can¡¯t beat them through brute force.¡±
Fifty?
That exined it.
Understanding dawned on President Qin. That number of enemies was indeed difficult for someone like Bai Qi to handle, since he hadn¡¯t been a Second Stage Beast Master for long and his Pet Beasts weren¡¯t high level. Even if there were options for Area of Effect attacks, it would still be difficult to clear this level.
Moreover, judging by the fact that even a Third Stage Beast Master like Li Xusheng couldn¡¯t pass, these Rune Puppets were not just superior in numbers. The regenerative power that Bai Qi mentioned was important as well.
¡°But I may have found a trick. If I study it a bit more, I should be able to manage.¡±
Just as President Qin was about tofort Bai Qi and suggest they retry another day, his next words startled him. Both Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha frowned.
This guy was quite cocky.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuchapletely lost any remaining interest in Bai Qi and entered the Secret Realm Tower directly, while Li Xusheng also turned and left. ¡°Bai Qi, you are sure you can make it?¡±
¡°Shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and then began studying the Rune Dictionary with Husky.
¡°Are you sure you remember everything?¡±
Woof woof!
(Human, you may underestimate your own skills, but don¡¯t undervalue this Woof!)
Seeing the man and dog so engrossed in their conversation as if no one else was around, President Qin suddenly felt redundant. He silently retreated to the side, gazing at the flickering rune of the fifth floor, filled with admiration.
Truly worthy of being the son of Celestial Brilliance. With the Skeleton Dragon and his unique Talent as a Soul Communicator, he stood unmatched amongst his peers.
But this Li Xusheng was also formidable, as he was the offspring of a Legendary Pet Beast. Although the lineage might be a bit diluted, he wasn¡¯t inferior to Bai Qiucha.
Perhaps, the key to clearing the Tower of Gratitude depended on these two.
¡°Okay, Beta, do you remember how to do it?¡±
Shortly after, Bai Qi closed the Rune Dictionary and the confident Husky strutted his way towards the Tower of Gratitude.
As Bai Qi passed Minister Yi, Yi u gave a slight smile and asked, ¡°Are you all set?¡±
¡°I suppose.¡±
Nodding, Bai Qi looked at Yi Yu¡¯s smiling face and inexplicably felt a bit unnerved.
This guy wouldn¡¯t be¡into him, right?
Yi Yu nodded, saying, ¡°Then let me wish you sessful passage in advance.
Maybe we can even have a second transaction.¡±
¡°Uh, thanks.¡±
GLancing around at Yi Yu, Bai Qi shivered involuntarily and quickly dove into the Tower of Gratitude.
¡°It seems Minister Yi is really fond of Bai Qi, huh?¡±
Hearing Yi Yu¡¯s words, President Qin couldn¡¯t help asking. However, Yi Yu just shrugged and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t your association the same? The Special Training Program isn¡¯t open to just anyone.¡±
Who would believe that!
President Qin turned away and fell silent, both of them once again sinking into a quiet stupor.
Secret Realm Tower Fourth Floor.
Bai Qi and Husky suddenly appeared before the teleportation circle leading to the fourth floor, with a fragment of a Rune Puppet ¨C Type III lying by Bai Qi¡¯s feet.
Compared to the Lamentation Tower, this Secret Realm Tower¡¯s creator had a bit of a sense of humor, having added a memory feature.
Bai Qi summoned Alpha, made sure both pets were OK, then stepped onto the fifth floor.
Unlike the previous Ironforge style, the environment of the fifth floor resembled a primitive workshop.
Indeed, it was from these workshops that the fifty Rune Puppets emerged.
¡°Alpha, try to focus on control as much as possible, and wait for my order, Beta, find the opportunity to ambush.¡±
Click, ck.
(Master, I want to try again.)
A strong feeling of unwillingness transmitted back to Bai Qi¡¯s mind. Shaking his head, he said, ¡°It¡¯s not that I think you can¡¯t seed, but that this challenge is just too brutal. They never intended for lower stage Beast Masters to pass. Let¡¯s try out a new method first.¡±
Alpha looked down in disappointment, but his attention was quickly seized by the fifty Rune Puppets ¨C Type I pouring out from the workshops.
ng, tter!
As soon as these fifty Rune Puppets appeared, they started to wobble toward Bai Qi. Meanwhile, Alpha did not hesitate to charge at them, brandishing Frost Sorrow.
The enemies in this Tower of Gratitude were different from those in the Lamentation Tower; they didn¡¯t ignore the Beast Masters at all. Any kind of attack would do; if Bai Qi let these guys get too close, he would be in danger.
Therefore, Alpha didn¡¯t hold back at all during the attack. With an Energy Value of 11,000, Alpha could use his skills freely without worrying about their cost.
Due to Bai Qi¡¯smand, Alpha mostly just damaged the Rune Puppets¡¯ circr saw arms and the giant cannon on their chest. He didn¡¯t damage the Puppet Core in the middle.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to; he just couldn¡¯t.
During the previous challenge, both Alpha and Husky had joined the battle: Alpha with his melee sh, Husky with his distant bombardment. In just a moment, they had demolished more than ten Rune Puppets.
But as they were wrecking these puppets, the workshops started to release the same number of puppets.
No matter how they fought, the battlefield always retained a regiment of fifty Rune Puppets.
In other words, the creator of the Secret Realm Tower basically didn¡¯t intend for a Second Stage Beast Master to pass.. That was totally unfair!

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Beta, have you found that rune yet?¡±
Woof, woof!
(Almost, almost, stop rushing me.)
Husky¡¯s eyes darted around the Rune Puppet, lighting up when he saw a symbol that was akin to a balloon. He summoned four cannons and bombarded the Rune Puppet. Once he ascertained that the puppet had utterly lost its capacity to move, he pounced on it and struck the rune with his paw.
Squeak, rattle¡
Once Husky smacked the rune, the struggling Rune Puppet stiffened, the runes on its body winking out one by one until it finally ceased all movement.
Upon seeing that the Rune Puppet has shut down, Bai Qi turned to the workshop on his side. Once he confirmed no new puppets had been dispatched, he started cheering excitedly.
Sure enough, as long as the Rune Puppet was not destroyed, the workshop won¡¯t release new ones.
No wonder Alpha was fightng tirelessly before. All you needed was to turn these puppets off.
No wonder Luo Xiang took special pains to teach me runes. Knowledge is truly the ultimate source of power.
Luo Xiang didn¡¯t lie to me!
¡°Alpha, target the rune that Beta discovered earlier. Just don¡¯t attack the core; everything else is fair game.¡±
Bai Qi ryed Husky¡¯s discoveries to Alpha. Alpha instantly revised hisbat approach, splitting the filial sword he held into two Frozen Daggers. He began to swiftly dart around within the Rune Puppet.
Cleared of the greatsword¡¯s restrictions, Alpha¡¯s attack frequency increased markedly, and hardly any Rune Puppets could keep moving in his wake.
They were either totally shut down or corrupted to the point that only a Puppet Core remained.
¡°Tsk, indeed, it¡¯s a Speed Variation. These daggers are his main weapon.¡±
Watching Alpha reap widely among the Rune Puppet legion, Bai Qi could not butment:
¡°Looking at this, is my Double Swords Berserker hopeless?¡±
Under the Lamentation Tower.
The fifth floor¡¯s rune was fully lit atst, and the runes of the sixth floor began to sh slowly.
Somebody had passed the fifth floor!
Upon seeing the scene, President Qin¡¯s eyes sparkled. His thoughts immediately flew to Bai Qiucha, who recently entered.
As expected of Legend¡¯s son ¡ª his strength was truly superior ¡ª he cleared the fifth floor in a short time.
Considering this, the Secret Realm Tower will ultimately end up in the hands of the Beast Master Association.
JJust then, Bai Qiucha emerged at the entrance, closely followed by Li Xusheng.
Both seemed drained, and Li Xusheng was heavily wounded, bearing no visible trace of the blood dripping from his wounds.
Seeing Bai Qiucha emerge, President Qin immediately asked with a broad smile, ¡°Qiucha, have you cleared the fifth floor?¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, saying, ¡°Barely managed to clear it. However, the Skeleton Dragon was used up too much. I can¡¯t pass the sixth floor.¡±
¡°You¡¯ve done well already. Defeating fifty Rune Puppets at once is certainly challenging.¡±
Hearing Bai Qiucha¡¯s brief ount, President Qin didn¡¯t withhold his praise.
¡°Xusheng, have you activated your second talent?¡±
Yi Yu shot a nce at the wounds on Li Xusheng¡¯s body, his expression instantly turning cold.
¡°Those puppets are troublesome. Without activating my second talent, I wouldn¡¯t have had enough stamina.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, his face once again lighting up with a cheery smile, he said, ¡°Alright, remember to write a report to me when you get back.¡±
Li Xusheng remained silent, nodding his head without saying anything else. He nced at Bai Qiucha, who was also busily recovering his energy nearby, and nned to rest himself.
¡°Hey, if the two of you are out, who¡¯s in the sixth floor now? Bai Qi?¡±
After chatting with Bai Qiucha for a while, President Qin suddenly noticed that the rune for the sixth floor was still shing. He paused in surprise, and Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng stopped their rest to look towards the entrance.
The obsidian doors of the Tower of Gratitude had the sixth rune constantly flickering. The frequency of the flickering kept increasing until it finally stabilized.
The sixth floor, they passed it too?!
Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng exchanged a nce. They simultaneously gave up on their rest and dashed towards the entrance, but they were stopped by President Qin and Yi Yu respectively.
¡°Let¡¯s first see what¡¯s happening, no hurry.¡±
President Qin watched the rapidly shing seventh rune, his face full of disbelief reced by a bright smile.
He actually managed to pass the sixth floor before two genius third stage Beast Masters. He truly did not make a mistake about this kid.
He must take this little guy to the headquarters, those old guys will be so jealous.
¡°The seventh floor is passed too.¡±
As President Qin was thinking about the next steps, Bai Qiucha suddenly spoke. Regardless of President Qin¡¯s objections, he dashed towards the Tower of Gratitude.
The same scene was also ying out with the Thirteenth Bureau. However, Li Xusheng was unable to convince Yi Yu and had to reluctantly stay put.
Watching Bai Qiucha¡¯s rapidly retreating figure, President Qin shook his head helplessly, then looked towards the Tower of Gratitude¡¯s entrance with a puzzled expression.
Just how did Bai Qi manage to go through the fifth, sixth and seventh floors so quickly?
The seventh floor of the Tower of Gratitude.
Bai Qi, seeing Alpha and Beta showing clear signs of fatigue, halted their progress. After taking a few bites of Angel Fruit, he put his twin pets into the Beast Control Space and activated the Evolution Egg.
This wasn¡¯t ast-minute attempt for a breakthrough; he was just using the Evolution Egg to help his twin pets recover their energy value.
Even though they had figured out the trick to pass the challenge, the fifty Type II and Type III enemies of the sixth and seventh floors depleted quite a bit of energy from his pets. In their current state, they definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to pass the eighth floor.
While the pets were evolving, Bai Qi began to inspect the rewards from passing the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors first.
The reward for passing the fifth floor was a piece of Red me Iron covered in runes, the reward for the sixth was a brand new puppet core, and the reward for the seventh was a carving knife made entirely of ck crystal.
It looked almost as if they were asking him to craft his own puppet.
Bai Qi yed with the carving knife for a bit before drawing out a nk piece of Red me Iron, ready to start carving in the same way as the piece from the fifth floor.
Despite Bai Qi¡¯s several attempts, he couldn¡¯t leave any trace on the Red me Iron, and he finally gave up, frustrated.
¡°This thing, it¡¯s definitely not a task for ordinary humans.¡±
Bai Qi packed the carving knife, watched the still silent Bronze Eggs in Beast Control Space, and chewed up the entire Angel Fruit in record time.
The powerful energy instantly filled up Bai Qi¡¯s physical strength and spirit power. The remaining energy wasn¡¯t wasted; instead, it surged into the Evolution Egg, elerating the evolution process of his twin pets.
Eating supplements during peak physical condition could speed up the evolution. This was a pattern that Bai Qi recently discovered.
Although there was no need to waste resources in normal times, it was quite handy in times like this.
Soon, the two Bronze Eggs hatched, and the reinvigorated Alpha and Husky were summoned out by Bai Qi again.
¡°Let¡¯s depart and see what the eighth floor looks like..¡±
Chapter 66 - 65: Alpha Soaring in the Sky
Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Alpha Soaring in the Sky
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi stepped through the teleportation circle transporting him to the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude.
The eighth floor was a vast square. Bai Qi looked around but didn¡¯t see any room present.
¡°Looks like they¡¯re not gunning for a crowd fighting tactic this floor,¡± he muttered to himself before noticing another teleportation circle lighting up on the other side of the square.
Was this a straight pass?
Did his actions somehow glitched the game?
Just as Bai Qi begin to worry about a potential ban from the administrators of Secret Realm Tower, the ground in front of him suddenly copsed, creating a deep chasm between him and the teleportation circle.
As expected, there weren¡¯t any easy ways out.
Bai Qi peered over the edge of the floor at the flowing magma below, feeling slightly overwhelmed.
One would surely die if they fell into that scorching temperature.
He should have formed a pact with a flying pet beast sooner, then he could have just flown across.
Unlike Husky, who was currently of no use at all.
Woof?
(Human, I didn¡¯t force you to form a pact with me. Plus, are you sure you could fly across?)
With a look of disdain, Husky threw a handful of steel balls into the sky. Massive rune symbols appeared on the crystalline barrier above, emitting waves of energy that turned the steel balls into fine powder.
Alright, it wasn¡¯t going to be that easy after all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Bai Qi mulled over a strategy, stone pirs rose from the magma, forming a bridge leading straight to the other side.
Considering the destructive power of those rune symbols just now, Bai Qi didn¡¯t rashly step onto this road. He examined the rune symbols thoughtfully.
¡°Alpha, go and step on that stone pir.¡±
Following Bai Qi¡¯smand, Alpha approached. As soon as his paw touched the rune, a Rune Puppet appeared from the crystalline barrier overhead andnded in front of them.
¡°I knew it.¡±
Bai Qi nodded as Husky swiftly manipted its cannon turret, reducing the Rune Puppet to fragments in no time.
¡°Looks like this Secret Realm Tower is indeed meant to test rune skills.¡±
After smoothly progressing through the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels, and now encountering this trial, Bai Qi would have to be quite dim-witted not to notice the purpose of the tower.
¡°If my guess is right, to clear this floor we¡¯ll need to understand these runes,¡± he mused.
But it seems, there are other ways to evade the dangerous runes as well.
As this idea struck, Bai Qi¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He patted Husky and said, ¡°It¡¯s your time to shine.¡±
Woof!
(Human, finally you¡¯vee begging to me.)
Husky strutted confidently onto the stone pir.
The first one, no problem.
The second one, also fine.
The third¡
The fourth¡
Using its excellent perceptual abilities, Husky sessfully avoided the threatening runes. It reached the middle of the stone pathway without incident.
Woof woof woof!
(Bonehead, I win this time!)
Husky paused, ncing defiantly at Alpha. But before it could gloat for long, the rune beneath its feet suddenly changed, the resulting shockwave sending the overly confident Husky flying.
Arwooo! Arwooo!
Seeing the forming runes overhead, Husky howled miserably, unable to stop itself from rising.
Just then, Alpha leaped high andnded heavily on Husky, pushing it back to the ground. Alpha nimbly twisted its body and narrowly dodged the energy beam.
However, with this maneuver, Alpha was left falling towards the magma below.
¡°Husky, fire the rope!¡±
Seeing the descending Alpha, Bai Qi swiftly instructed Husky. But before it could respond, the ribcage of Alpha sprung open. Ayer of frost slowly spread from the ribs, amazingly transforming into a pair of ice wings.
Alpha¡¯s fall slowed as it extended the icy wings. It barely managed to glide back using the unfamiliar mechanism.
Wow, who knew you could do that!
Seeing Alpha¡¯s ingenious solution, Bai Qi was thrilled.
He realized that these ice wings were more of a gliding method, not empowering Alpha to fly as freely as other flying pet beasts. However, it was a new way for Alpha to maneuver.
Just like my pet, intelligent and amazing, follow me!
Woof!
(Damn it! I knew that ice-head would pull a stunt like this.)
Husky cast an envious nce at Alpha. It felt the bump on its head and turned away disgruntled.
Bai Qi inspected his two pets, making sure they were fine, then once again turned his attention to the path before him.
The number of stone pirs never changed, but the runes on them did every 30 seconds. Their distribution waspletely random without apparent patterns.
With restricting runes above and burning magma below, the only way to pass was to cross the stone path within half a minute.
Leaving them with one choice.
¡°Later, Alpha, you¡¯ll do this and Husky, you¡¯ll do that¡understood?¡±
Bai Qi called over his two pets, whispering instructions. While Alpha didn¡¯t seem topletely grasp the n, Husky vehemently shook its head.
Woof woof woof!
(I refuse to be on top!)
¡°Ahem, then how about the bottom?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Husky with a wicked glint in his eye, causing Husky to shiver all over.
Despite its initial defiance, Husky eventually sumbed to Bai Qi¡¯s intimidation. It allowed Bai Qi to hoist it onto his shoulders and Alpha hefted them both up.
Then came the skeletal dog armor!
¡°Alpha, let¡¯s go!¡±
The moment the pir¡¯s runes started to shift, Alpha was off like an arrow from a bow. Husky on Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder was providing rapid guidance to navigate the safest path.
Bang!
Finally, right at the moment when the rune on the stone pir was about to change, the group managed to step onto solid ground. Alpha abruptly halted, the unsuspecting Husky went flying, crashing face-first onto the ground.
Woof!
(Bonehead, you¡¯ll pay for this!)
After delicately setting Bai Qi down on the ground, Alpha disappeared, leaving behind a monocle that fell into Bai Qi¡¯s hand.
The monocle¡¯s design was very simple, simr to the ones that Bai Qi knew from his past life. The nobles of ¡®O¡¯ country wore simr designs. Aside from that, it didn¡¯t seem to possess any special attributes.
However, ifbined with the items he received from previous floors, it made sense.
When Bai Qi put on the monocle, his vision immediately changed. The previously uniformly colored rune now had various different hues to them.
The earthy yellow runes were the ones thatunched Husky into the sky earlier.
Red ones were absolutely explosion runes.
And there were colorless ones too. Wait, weren¡¯t those the safe routes?!
Giving such a divine tool as a floor reward, this didn¡¯t seem like they really wanted to hand it over..
Chapter 67 - 66: Passing Through Again
Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Passing Through Again
Trantor: 549690339???????????????? ¡ã
But despite hisints, Bai Qi was highly satisfied with this pair of mono lens sses.
Being able to see runic attributes would be significantly beneficial for his future studies. Still, he decided that it would be best to seek Professor Dong¡¯s advice on using these sses correctly.
Bai Qi carefully stowed away his runic monocle and stepped back on the teleportation circle, arriving at the ninth floor.
As soon as he entered the ninth floor, he saw a deactivated rune puppet crouching on the floor, one hand on its forehead, a precisely crafted Rubik¡¯s Cube floated in front of it.
Remembering the previous challenge, Bai Qi didn¡¯t rush to grab the Rubik¡¯s Cube. He kept Alpha on alert towards the puppet and began investigating his surroundings.
¡°Beta, is there danger here?¡±
Bai Qi patted the Husky on the head. The Husky, unimpressed, twisted its head away without responding.
(I know, but I won¡¯t tell.)
Looking at the Husky¡¯s behavior, Bai Qi maliciously grinned, grabbed the Husky and threw it towards the rune puppet.
Bark Bark Bark Bark!
(Humans, I may not be a wolf, but you are truly a dog!)
Afternding, the Husky roared at Bai Qi, who callously ignored him.
Bai Qi walked over to the rune puppet, examined it closely, and found that not only was its power exhausted, many of its runes were damaged-it waspletely useless now.
¡°So, is the ninth floor another welfare distribution?¡±
Bai Qi immediately recalled the ¡°Lamentation Tower¡± scenario, took a deep breath, and picked up the Rubik¡¯s Cube.
The cube was made of obsidian, a third-order Rubik¡¯s Cube, with runes randomly engraved on it. Bai Qi didn¡¯t know their purpose.
And that was it?
Bai Qi waited patiently; neither the first-time clear rewards nor the teleportation out appeared.
¡°Quit!¡±
¡°QUIT!¡±
Bai Qi tried all thenguages he knew; the secret realm tower gave no response, almost like it nned to trap him there.
¡°Damn it, I had too many cheats activated and finally got ount locked.¡±
Distressed, Bai Qi hand ruffled through his hair, looking at the scrambled Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hands, suddenly had an idea and started looking it over thoroughly.
The previous step tested observation, maybe the ninth step tests operation, Bai Qi reasoned.
Bai Qi didn¡¯t know many runes, but even a third-order Rubik¡¯s Cube didn¡¯t pose much of a challenge to him, even if he couldn¡¯t understand the runes on it.
Soon enough, he was able toplete the third-order Rubik¡¯s Cube. Six runes had light up m session, and the cube was pulled out of his hand and flew into the air.
So it was like that, huh?
Bai Qi nodded his head in satisfaction, awaiting the arrival of the first-time clear rewards. However, the runes on the cube only flickered before dimming and descending back into Bai Qi¡¯s hands.
It was still the same cube, only now it had transformed into a fourth-order cube.
¡°Why does this plot seem so familiar to me¡¡±
Looking at the now more challenging Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hands, Bai Qi rubbed his temples, his mind going back to an unending golden finger challenge.
¡°Using a Rubik¡¯s Cube as the ninth floor challenge is a bit childish, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Bai Qi continued fiddling with the cube while shifting his attention to the broken rune puppet beside him.
¡°Maybe it wants me to repair this puppet.¡±
Bai Qi considered the first-time clear rewards he had gotten so far and believed it was usible.
¡°Who cares, let¡¯s try and see.¡±
Back at the entrance to Twin Towers,
Bai Qiucha, who had failed yet again, leaned against the Skeleton Dragon in defeat, his eyes never leaving the rapidly shing ninth rune glyph on the entrance door, filled with uncertainty.
He was a unique profession among beast masters, a Soul Communicator. He could establish connections with pets far stronger than himself without the fear of bacsh, thus making him an outstanding figure among peers of the same level.
But even so, he couldn¡¯t simultaneously eliminate 50 Rune Puppets-II on the sixth floor.
Li Xusheng shared this uncertainty. As a fusion talent beastmaster with potent physical strength due to being mixed-race, he could output without concerns Still, he only passed the fifth floor after activating his secondary talent. As for the sixth floor, he was unsure he could get through.
If these two third-stage Beast Masters couldn¡¯t pass it, who knows how Bai Qi sted his way to the ninth floor.
Perhaps this was why dad (the minister) was interested in this kid?
Finally, under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, the ninth floor¡¯s rune stabilized. Bai Qi reappeared at the entrance with an old rune puppet standing next to him.
¡°Bai Qi, you cleared the floor, what¡¯s the reward?¡±
President Qin approached Bai Qi. Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s tired expression, he summoned an elf. The elf circled Bai Qi, sprinkling countless spots of light. Bai Qi immediately felt his fatigue wash away; its effectiveness was much better than the Angel Fruit.
¡°President Qin, what kind of pet is that?¡±
Looking at the elf that returned to President Qin after it aided him, Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t the association say they were going to give me a pet? Can I choose this one?¡± President Qin shook his head, saying smugly, ¡°Forget it. There is only one light elf in the Federation, none other.¡±
Wow, a rare pet!
Old Qin was lucky!
Bai Qi put away his envy and started plotting something else.
Perhaps, when Alpha evolves next time, he cane to Old Qin?
The wool offered was free; why not take it?
¡°Ahem, we digressed.¡±
President Qin pulled Bai Qi aside, nced at Yi Yu not far away, and asked
¡°What¡¯s the reward of the ninth floor? It can¡¯t just be this useless puppet, ¡¯ right?¡±
¡°Um, kind of.¡±
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment before giving an ambiguous answer.
¡°What do you mean by kind of?¡±
With a ck line on his face, President Qin looked at Bai Qi¡¯s evasive eyes and decided not to question further.
With so many people and so many eyes here, it¡¯s not good to ask too much. ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve cleared two secret realm towers consecutively, that¡¯s quite an aplishment even in the Federation.¡±
Yi Yu smilingly walked over to Bai Qi and eyed the rune puppet next to him, saying, ¡°Is this the reward from the ninth floor?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Bai Qi answered, without the slightest hesitation.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s confirmation, Yi Yu¡¯s eyes shone, he looked at the puppet closely and asked, ¡°I am very interested in runes, but I haven¡¯t found a decent rune puppet. Can you give this to me?¡±
¡°I can exchange it with mechanic handbook data after the fourth stage.¡±
¡°Are you sure?¡±
¡°Absolutely!¡±
¡°Deal.¡±
The two of them quickly made the trade, one handed over the handbook, and the other handed over the puppet. It was all smooth and happy.
However, the surrounding people were somewhat dumbfounded.
What the hell just happened?
Chapter 68 - 67: Everyone is Overjoyed
Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Everyone is Overjoyed
Trantor: 549690339
The transaction was finalized, and Yi Yu immediately put the Rune Puppet into a ring.
¡°President Qin, I¡¯ve finished what I came here for, so I¡¯ll take off now.¡±
¡°Sure, I won¡¯t see you off then.¡±
Yi Yu nodded and nced around. The members of the Thirteenth Bureau hidden nearby instantly appeared, summoned a Flying Machine Beast, and started packing up and leaving.
¡°The approval for that Mythical Material shoulde in a few days; it should be delivered to you soon.¡±
¡°I enjoyed this transaction, I hope we can trade one-on-one again in the future.¡±
Watching Yi Yu leave in a hurry, President Qin, curious as ever, approached Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Why were you so quick to hand over that puppet? Do you have something else up your sleeve?¡±
¡°President, are you doubting my integrity!¡±
Bai Qi replied sternly, ¡°That Rune Puppet truly was my reward for passing the ninthyer!¡±
But not all of it.
More exactingly, he had obtained that Rubik¡¯s Cube before even passing the level, so it couldn¡¯t have been considered a reward.
¡°Tch, why is he so interested in that puppet? Does the Thirteenth Bureau have some unique intelligence?¡±
President Qin pondered, and Bai Qi finally disclosed everything he knew.
After attempting and failing to use the Rubik¡¯s Cube to pass the level, Bai Qi had set his sights on the Rune Puppet.
The construction of that Rune Puppet wasn¡¯tplicated. As a student specialized in Mechanic Beasts, Bai Qi found it entry-level to repair the puppet.
The only thing that stumped him were the missing runes on the puppet. However, Bai Qi found them all on the Rubik¡¯s Cube, and used the carving knife and runes sses he had obtained earlier to sessfully repair the puppet.
After fixing the Rune Puppet, Bai Qi also figured out the function of the Secret Realm Tower¡ªit was merely a training tool for the young to gain knowledge in runes.
That puppet, was merely a training material.
¡°I see, Rune Puppets were indeed popr during the Era of Law Emperor.¡±
President Qin realized and asked, ¡°What about the cores of these two Secret Realm Towers, did you get them?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, took out a red-and-blue ring and handed it to President Qin, ¡°It should be this. However, I can¡¯t enter it now, which is a bit of a waste.¡±
The Lamentation Tower could only let the Beast Masters of the first stage enter. Bai Qi couldn¡¯t go in, and the Tower of Gratitude had a memory function that only permitted entry to thest floor you cleared. Since Bai Qi had already cleared the tower, he couldn¡¯t go anywhere at all.
Bai Qi originally thought that after clearing the Gemini Tower he could get control of a secret realm, but his expectations were shattered.
¡°Trial-type Secret Realms are like this. If you don¡¯t mind getting a Auxiliary-type Secret Realm in exchange for these two, I can apply for one for you.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mind at all.¡±
Bai Qi was ecstatic and immediately epted President Qin¡¯s suggestion.
With the increase of the Twin Pets¡¯ levels, especially due to one genius pet focussing on explosion, Bai Qi¡¯s home was beginning to show signs of inability to hold these two beings.
Originally, he had ced his hopes on obtaining a separate secret realm after clearing the Gemini Tower, but it seemed that his hopes were dashed.
¡°Alright, with the matters of the Secret Realm Tower at an end, focus on cultivating your pets and raise their levels. When you pass the professional examination, I¡¯ll take you to the headquarters for a look,¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, and looking to Bai Qiucha, who had Bai Qi in his sights, introduced, ¡°Almost forgot, let me introduce Bai Qiucha, the son of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance.¡±
¡°d to meet you, I am Bai Qi.¡±
Bai Qi was momentarily stunned, but then reached out and enthusiastically shook Bai Qiucha¡¯s hand.
More than a month ago, Gusu City¡¯s media had been extensively reporting that Bai Qiucha would settle in Gusu City. It was absolutely sincere to say that he had long-awaited to meet him.
However, he didn¡¯t expect Bai Qiucha to be so young. Combined with the Skeleton Dragon behind him, he was the picture of oddly adorable.
Tch¡ if the paparazzi got wind of this, the female fans of Gusu City would surely go crazy over him.
¡°Hello.¡±
Bai Qiucha withdrew his hand and asked, ¡°How did you clear that tower?¡±
Well, damn. Was the Legendary Son always this direct? He immediately asked for game strategies?
But, since the tower was already cleared, it wouldn¡¯t hurt to tell him.
¡°Are you in university yet?¡±
Bai Qiucha knotted his eyebrows, ¡°I¡¯m about to go to Star Mechanics Academy for my first year, does it have anything to do with this?¡±
¡°In that case, I suggest you choose the Rune Department, it should be helpful for you in clearing the tower.¡±
As if enlightened, Bai Qiucha said, ¡°I see, thank you.¡±
Seeing Bai Qiucha being so polite, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised.
Weren¡¯t these children from aristocratic families supposed to be arrogant like Xia Xuan?
¡°The Bai Family is an old family in the Beast Control Association, their family education is strict. They cannot bepared with those upstarts.¡±
President Qin chuckled, ¡°You young people should have lots to talk about. Qiucha, I still have some matters to attend to. Could you trouble yourself to escort Bai Qi home?¡±
¡°Sure, president.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, leapt onto the Bone Dragon, and said to Bai Qi, ¡°Get on.¡±
¡°Thank you for the trouble.¡±
Cautiously, Bai Qi walked to the Bone Dragon¡¯s side. The moment he touched the Bone Dragon, his face lit up with ecstatic joy.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 65%)
[Condition]: Activated
It suddenly increased by forty percent! The Bloodline Level of this Bone Dragon must be at least King-level, no, it might even be Emperor-level!
The son of the legend is truly amazing!
But howe he wasn¡¯t overwhelmed by Beast Bacsh? Such a powerful beast, a low-rank Beast Master shouldn¡¯t be able to handle it.
Filled with envy and curiosity, Bai Qi finally climbed onto the Bone Dragon¡¯s back. The Bone Dragon immediately pped its wings, and set off quickly with Bai Qi.
After the two left, President Qin took out the ring of the Gemini Tower and carefully examined it.
It really was a Combination-type Secret Realm, but with only two levels and both being trial-type, it didn¡¯t seem to be worth the price the Thirteenth Bureau paid.
President Qin was puzzled, he took onest look at the Lamentation Tower and then disappeared.
On the ne of the Thirteenth Bureau.
Li Xusheng watched the Rune Puppet next to Yi Yu, and finally couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Minister, the Bureau spent so much just for this puppet?¡±
Yi Yu nodded with a smile and counter-questioned, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s not worth it?¡±
Li Xusheng kept silent, but the expression on his face spoke volumes for his stance.
¡°Just this Rune Puppet certainly isn¡¯t worth it. But paired with this, it¡¯s enough.¡±
Yi Yu took out the key he had received before. Instantly, a rune on the puppet¡¯s forehead changed and a keyhole appeared.
¡°Artifacts from the Era of the Law Emperor, how could they not have a backup..¡±
Chapter 69 - 68: The Ice Cream Assassin Cannot Be
Chapter 69: Chapter 68: The Ice Cream Assassin Cannot Be
Trantor: 549690339
Gusu City.
The enormous body of the Bone Dragon naturally attracted the attention of many, especially the long-awaited fans, who screamed and chased fervently, almost causing a traffic ident.
Indeed, there are crazy fans in every world.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
As Bai Qi was contemting, Bai Qiucha came up with a casualment. Subsequently, the Bone Dragonnded gently, stopping in a huge courtyard.
Bai Qi looked around and immediately recognized it as the most luxurious mansion district in Gusu City. Inparison, the vi where Bai Qi lived was basically in a civilian area.
¡°I will have the butler send you backter, but now,e and join me for a
fight.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will suppress my power to the second stage.¡±
Why do these second-generation love brawls so much¡
And don¡¯t you know that the race suppression among the Undead Department is the most exaggerated?
(Boss, I want to try it.)
Just as Bai Qi was about to reject directly, Alpha suddenly applied for a fight.
¡°Are you sure? You might not be able to exhibit even half of your power against this guy.¡±
Once the bloodline level of a beast has been upgraded to Lord level, it will master the Intimidation skill, which will cause absolute suppression to the beasts whose bloodline level is lower than your own within the range of intimidation. The bigger the gap, the stronger the suppression effect.
It can be said that Intimidation is the symbol of a king.
And Bai Qiucha¡¯s Skeleton Dragon was at least King-level. Alpha was only Elite, suppressing half of the power is Bai Qi taking care of Alpha¡¯s mood.
(Sure!)
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, then looked at Bai Qiucha, who was also eager to try, and finally summoned Alpha.
¡°Ice Shadow Swordsman? You were able to train such a rare evolutionary type,
you are quite good.¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at Alpha for a few times, and directly recognized Alpha¡¯s race.
As the son of a Undead Department Legendary, Bai Qiucha¡¯s understanding of Undead is notparable to ordinary Beast Masters.
¡°But the subsequent evolution type of Ice Shadow Swordsman is very difficult, you have to be prepared.¡±
Subsequent evolution type?
Is it difficult?
Bai Qi smiled, not paying any attention.
If you talk about how to quickly improve skill proficiency, Bai Qi might be really not yet there, but evolution, Bai Qi is truly not worried.
Even if there is no subsequent evolution type, we could directly create one for you!
¡°Thank you, but can we start now?¡±
Bai Qi nodded to Bai Qiucha to express his gratitude. Bai Qiucha then led Bai Qi to the edge of arge battleground at the other end of the yard.
¡°This is where I usually practice with my dad, we willpete here.
What a guy, a private battlefield and a Titled Legendary personal coach, I¡¯m not envious at all.
Bai Qi went to the position of the battlefield, but saw Bai Qiucha, for some reason, directly walked to the center, pressing his hand on the Skeleton
Dragon.
¡°My Skeleton Dragon is a King-level, and it has absolute suppression to your Ice Shadow Swordsman. Although I will avoid using the Intimidation skill, some suppression may still exist, so I will personally participate in this one.¡±
Human VS Beast?
Could it be that he has a Fusion Gift?
Bai Qi was puzzled, but Bai Qiucha had already made his move.
¡°Skeleton Dragon, Skeleton Armor!¡±
Roar!
As soon as the words fell, the massive body of the Skeleton Dragon let out a furious roar. It slowly disintegrated and, while shrinking, converged towards Bai Qiucha. Gradually, it formed a piece of bone armor that covered Bai
Qiucha¡¯s body.
Holy cow, I want this skill too!
Bai Qiucha flexed his wrist and a bone long spear appeared in his hand.
¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Bai Qiucha turned into a white shadow that disappeared on the spot, charging directly at Alpha¡¯s chest.
Seeing that Bai Qiucha had such speed, Bai Qi became even more envious. However, he wasn¡¯t worried about Alpha¡¯s situation in the slightest.
This speed was not a problem for Alpha.
Facing the rapidly thrusting spear, Alpha simply sidestepped it and swiftly turned around to stab at Bai Qiucha s waist.
¡°No, not that!¡±
Seeing this move from Alpha, Bai Qi immediately stopped him.
If he stabbed the pets in the back, it was okay. But if he injured Bai Qiucha, Celestial Brilliance would ground me to dust.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯smand, Alpha¡¯s movement paused. Bai Qiucha seized this w and the long spear once again transformed into a long sword, shing at Alpha.
Can you y like this?
Seeing that Bai Qiucha actually changed his weapon directly, Bai Qi fully turned into a lemon monster, wishing Evolution Egg could evolve the ability to use a
Skill As right now.
Back on the battlefield, Alpha saw Bai Qiucha¡¯s weapon changing into a long sword. He immediately stopped his attack and held his sword stiffly. However, the moment his ice sword touched Bai Qiucha¡¯s bone long sword, it shattered into pieces, and Alpha was also thrown off.
Perhaps Alpha¡¯s speed was not slow, but his other attributes fell shortpared to the Bone Dragon.
But Alpha wasn¡¯t the first to face such an opponent. After a few rolls, he stabilized himself. He once again summoned an ice sword and stabbed it into the ground. Layer uponyer of frost spread towards Bai Qiucha, following the ground¡¯s surface.
Ice Epoch!
Seeing the situation, Bai Qiucha did not recklessly attack. He extended his left hand forward, and from the dragon¡¯s head on his armguard spewed a faint blue me, instantly turning Alpha¡¯s frost into steam.
Indeed, a warrior who can¡¯t breathe fire is not a good beast master!
The battlefield quickly became shrouded in mist from the steam. A nimble figureunched an attack at Bai Qiucha under the cover of the mist.
¡°Nice strategy, wrong opponent.¡±
Bai Qiucha shook his head. A pair of bone wings appeared on his back. With one strong p, the mist disappeared, revealing Alpha.
As Alpha¡¯s whereabouts were exposed, he immediately changed his attack rhythm, dropped his sword and switched back to a dagger.
And after switching to a dagger, Alphaunched a stormy attack on Bai Qiucha but never directly shed with him.
Feeling the sudden change in Alpha¡¯s attack rhythm, Bai Qiucha also began to feel some pressure. He managed to defend many attacks using his skeletal armor. He was barely able to keep up with Alpha¡¯s speed.
¡°So, it¡¯s a speed variant species. No wonder it caught dad¡¯s eye.
Seeing Alpha, whose attack intensity had not weakened at all, Bai Qiucha finally got serious. Energy gathered on the bone armor, preparing to unleash a skill. Countless bone spikes wrapped with shadow power protruded from the ground and aimed at Bai Qiucha.
¡°Sky-splitting sh!¡±
Seeing the Shadow Lotus Skill surrounding him, Bai Qiucha¡¯s eyes narrowed. With a circr swing of the sword in his hand, he instantly shattered the Shadow Lotus Skill into fragments.
With his sneak attack failing, Alpha was thrown off. His broken bones were slowly healing under the Bone-breaking Reformation skill, but he temporarily lost his fighting ability.
¡°You¡¯re pretty good, only¡¡±
Bai Qiucha¡¯s words were cut off as he suddenly fainted and hit the ground. Behind him, a hand holding an ice stick just dropped it, quickly returning to
Alpha¡¯s arm.
Bai Qi was speechless.
It was indeed difficult to notice a normal bone mixed in with a pile of shadow bones.
But why always with the sneak attacks, he¡¯s not meant to be an ice cream
assassin¡.

Trantor: 549690339
Luckily, Alpha hadn¡¯t used too much force, so Bai Qiucha quickly regained consciousness. He touched the slightly swollen back of his head and looked out in astonishment.
Bai Qi walked somewhat awkwardly over to Bai Qiucha, noting the angry stares from a group of stewards and attendants. He gave a bashful smile and said, ¡°Well, my pet evolved from a skeleton soldier, so it might have developed some strange attack habits. Are you okay?¡±
Bai Qiucha pushed away the towel offered by a steward, wiped his face, and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, it¡¯s my fault for being careless.¡±
It¡¯s good that he was fine. If something happened, Bai Qi doubted he would be able to leave this door today.
Bai Qi nced at the furious female attendants, feeling slightly terrified.
This shouldn¡¯t end up on the inte, or else he could only leave his house at noon from now on¡
¡°I now understand why my father took an interest in you. The pet you trained is indeed very strong.¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at the notch in his dragon bone sword and said, ¡°But your level is too low. It¡¯s not fun to fight. Wait till you get to the third stage, then we can have a game where everyone goes all out!¡±
Well, he hadn¡¯t had the second stage for long, and now he wanted him at the third stage. He must have a high opinion of him.
But as the other party cordially invited him, it would be rude for Bai Qi to refuse. After chatting nonsense with Bai Qiucha for a while, he got home with the help of the steward.
¡°It¡¯s okay to drop me off here. Thank you.¡±
¡°All right.¡±
The steward nodded, got out of the car to open the door for Bai Qi, causing him to be a little taken aback.
Old Qin seemed to have mentioned that the Bai family was an old family in the association. It seemed just like that.
The steward turned around and said, ¡°Well, Young Master Bai, I won¡¯t send you any further.¡±
¡°Um, you can just call me Bai Qi.¡±
Hearing the steward refer to him that way, Bai Qi felt somewhat unable to shoulder the burden.
¡°You¡¯re a friend of the young master. If you¡¯re free in the future, you cane and chat with our young master more often.¡±
Um, it seems like you¡¯ve misunderstood something?
¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s appropriate.¡±
Since the Skeleton Dragon was already a done deed, considering the attitude of those female attendants towards him today, Bai Qi didn¡¯t really want to get involved too much with Bai Qiucha.
There was no benefit in riding on someone else¡¯s coattails.
¡°The young master doesn¡¯t have many friends. It¡¯s rare to see someone like you who dares to ignore the old master¡¯s legendary title. I¡¯m very relieved that the young master can make a friend like you, so there¡¯s no need for you to be polite.¡±
This wasn¡¯t about being polite. He just wanted to live a little longer. Also, was this supposed to be apliment?
Bai Qi muttered to himself, unable to refute the steward¡¯s words, so he just nodded in acquiescence.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s agreement, the steward smiled and drove away.
Living the life of the eldest son of this family doesn¡¯t seem to be that easy either.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, sent the Husky back to the studio to sort out the new guide, and then went back to his room to prepare the Evolution Egg for Alpha.
Even though he had won by a sneak attack against Bai Qiucha just now, Alpha had also suffered some injuries. He could faintly see scorched traces from the Bone-breaking Reformation.
¡°I hope there¡¯s no ill aftereffects.¡±
Bai Qi connected his mind to the Evolution Egg, suddenly feeling a rapid depletion of his energy. Drinking the prepared God¡¯s Water didn¡¯t help either.
Is it going to racially evolve? But it shouldn¡¯t!¡±
Bai Qi struggled up, drank several bottles of God¡¯s Water, and finally felt a little better. He didn¡¯t feel like resting any more, and just sat there quietly waiting for Alpha to hatch.
Finally, Alpha broke out of his shell again, still looking the same as before without any major changes.
¡°Did the Evolution Egg go wrong, or am I deluding myself?¡±
Bai Qi ced his hand on Alpha¡¯s head, beginning to check his status.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Level of Growth]: First Stage Eighth Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Race Skills]: Skeleton Maniption (Beginner), Ice Sword sh (Proficient),
Shadow Lotus Skill (Proficient), Ice Armour (Proficient)
[Energy Value]: 13000
[Condition]: Evolvable
How did it lose two skills?!
Bai Qi shook his head, thinking he was seeing things due to dizziness, but the result remained the same.
¡°Skeleton Maniption? Could two skills have fused into one?¡±
Considering the lesson learned from the Shadow Lotus Skill, Bai Qi came up with an exnation and then opened the handbook to look it up.
[Skill Name]: Skeleton Maniption
[Skill Introduction]: a High-level ability of the Skeleton Rune, allows you to freely control bones for change and enhancement.
Unbelievably, it managed to fuse a high-tier skill; what a big surprise!
Seeing Alpha gain a high-tier skill out of nowhere, Bai Qi was quite taken aback and then took Alpha to the yard to test the effect.
¡°Alpha, use Skeleton Maniption.¡±
Crack crack.
Alpha tilted his head, seeming to also be adapting to this new skill. Then, its right hand quickly twisted and transformed into a Bone de, and then again into a long spear.
Is this what Skeleton Maniption is like? It seems simr to Bai Qiucha¡¯s skill!
Did it really steal it?!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, and he watched as Alpha suddenly plunged his hands into the ground, and white bone spikes emerged from the soil, instantly turning the yard into a beehive.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qi was dumbfounded and looked at Alpha, not sure what to think.
Even osteo hypersia isn¡¯t this exaggerated.
Also, Alpha, are you sure your surname wasn¡¯t Night in your previous life?
Awoo?
(What happened?)
The Husky, having noticed themotion, also came out of the workshop and
was somewhat dumbfounded looking at the badly damaged yard.
Didn¡¯t we agree not to demolish the house?
Bai Qi ignored the Husky and said to Alpha, ¡°Alpha, can you throw your finger bones like darts, like this¡¡±
Crack crack.
(I¡¯ll try.)
Alpha, seemingly understanding what was being asked, nodded and quickly pulled his arms back to their original state, then tried it out as Bai Qi had instructed.
The finger bones did indeed fly out, but their power was rather disappointing; throwing a stone would have done more damage.
¡°I guess I was overthinking.¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi lost some interest. However, this in no way detracted from his happiness over Alpha acquiring a high-level skill.
Since one was able to fuse, a second one surely could. As for the pattern, it¡¯s unclear at the moment.
Bone-breaking Reformation and Steel Skeleton were both at perfect levels of familiarity; perhaps it has to do with level of familiarity.
Bai Qi nced at the still proficient Ice Sword sh and Ice Armour and directly set up the next training n.
¡°However, fusing two lower-tier skills into one high-level skill, isn¡¯t that a bit too much? Is the Evolution Egg that buggy? Or did I miss something?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, not noticing a piece of bone fragment with a distinct color embedded on Alpha¡¯s spine..
Chapter 71 - 70:1 Bring Salt for Myself
Chapter 71: Chapter 70:1 Bring Salt for Myself
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi¡¯s house.
In the spacious courtyard, Bai Qi was engrossed in a six-stage Rubik¡¯s Cube, while at his side, Alpha intently held an ice knife, making arduous impressions on an ice block.
After challenging the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi¡¯s interest in rune knowledge grew substantially. Almost every day, he yed with the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, which he¡¯d obtained from the ninth floor.
As for Alpha, he had been sent by Bai Qi to practice rune writing, ostensibly to improve his precision control of ice n skills.
¡°Phew¡ finally done.¡±
After a dazzling series of maneuvers, Bai Qi finallypleted the six-stage Rubik¡¯s Cube, immediately, he took out tools to print six brand-new runes, then tossed the impressions to Alpha
¡°Alpha, change the runes.¡±
Crisp crackling sounds were heard.
(Okay, boss.)
Alpha obediently took the impressions and began a brand-new carving.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction at the scene, walked over to the ice brick that
Alpha had already carved, picked up a single rune lens, and began to scrutinize
it.
Bright red: fire attribute rune, average quality.
Light green: nt attribute rune, poor quality.
Deep blue: water department rune, perfect quality.
Colorless: failure.
ck: Shadow Department rune, perfect quality!
Bai Qi quietly recorded the attributes and patterns of the runes into his brain beforeparing them to the Rune Dictionary that Professor Dong gave him, and then saved them.
¡°I wonder if these runes can be carved onto weapons. Maybe they could
produce some fantastic effect.
Thinking about the pirs on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a flurry of imagination.
Boom!
An explosion shattered Bai Qi¡¯s reverie. The next thing he knew, a burnt Husky ran out of his designated workshop.
¡°Stupid dog, didn¡¯t I tell you not to research explosives at home?!¡± Looking at the messy workshop, Bai Qi¡¯s forehead burned with rage. He caught hold of Husky and gave him a rough shake.
Woof woof¡
(Human, let me defend myself!)
Husky struggled to present a Spider Web Ball carved with runes to Bai Qi, sessfully diverting his attention.
¡°Is this an Explosion Rune?¡±
After careful identification, Bai Qi asked, ¡°When did you learn this?¡± Because of a bunch of newly obtained mechanical engineering schematics,
Husky was busy organizing data under Bai Qi¡¯s order and should have had no time for developing runes.
Woof!
(Because I¡¯m a genius!)
After being blown away by this rune on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Huskymitted it to memory. Over the past few days, he had secretly engraved it onto a Spider Web Ball. The effects were evident from the chaotic state of the workshop.
If Bai Qi hadn¡¯t been foresighted enough to provide Husky with a st-resistant workshop, the damage wouldn¡¯t have been limited to a few minor things.
However, looking at the explosion¡¯s power earlier, the st Powerbined with the Explosion Rune exceeded Bai Qi¡¯s expectations.
Incorporating runes into Alpha¡¯s weapons is feasible!
A gleam shed across Bai Qi¡¯s eyes. He quickly selected several Shadow Department runes from his Mind to test the effects, when he heard an urgent knock on the door.
¡°As expected, anotherint. Removing the doorbell didn¡¯t really help.¡± Bai Qi red at Husky, quickly gathered his thoughts together, and opened the front door.
¡°Sorry there was an explosion due to a short circuit at home. Someone has been called over to fix it, it won¡¯t infringe on¡ wait, Zhuge Chen, howe it¡¯s you?¡±
Halfway through his exnation, Bai Qi noticed that it wasn¡¯t aining neighbor at his door, but Zhuge Chen, whom he hadn¡¯t seen in a long time.
¡°Of course I¡¯m here for something.¡±
Zhuge Chen said, ¡°Right, those exnations of yours were so smooth. What on earth have you been through these days?¡±
Facing Zhuge Chen¡¯s puzzled look, Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, ¡°It¡¯s a long story, let¡¯s talk inside.¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded and followed Bai Qi into the yard, only to see Husky controlling the robotic arm to put out a fire and was taken aback.
¡°Is this the Arctic Ice Wolf I gave you?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Ahem, I haven¡¯t had time to tell you yet, but after I broke through the second level, I signed a contract with this guy here and made some small modifications¡¡±
You call this a small modification, yet it looks like a half-wolf to me.
And what is your skeleton doing, transitioning into ice sculptures?
Zhuge Chen was a bit dumbfounded. He was gone for just a month, yet so many things had changed.
Does the world of beast masters change so fast?
Seeing Zhuge Chen¡¯s expression, Bai Qi quickly changed the subject, ¡°Oh right, you haven¡¯t told me why you came to see me yet?¡±
Zhuge Chen snapped back to reality, ¡°Oh, your parents couldn¡¯t reach you, so they called me. They asked me to tell you that they are busy with a new project and won¡¯t have time to contact you for a while.¡¯
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned and then remembered, he rummaged in a corner and finally found his phone which had automatically shut down a long time ago.
Recently obsessed with runes and new mechanical drawings, Bai Qi hadpletely forgotten about the existence of his phone.
He gave his phone a charge and immediately saw a series of missed calls and messages, part of them were from his parents and the content wasn¡¯t much different from what Zhuge Chen had said.
Most of the remaining messages were from President Qin.
-The professional assessment is in seven days, prepare well and don¡¯t mess up.¡±
¡ö¡öReceived any messages? There¡¯s a task from the special training side for you,e to the guild so we can discuss it.¡±
¡°Where did you run off to? There¡¯s no answer when I knock on your door.¡±
¡°Bai Qi, respond as soon as you see this, or else I¡¯ming to get you.¡±
¡°Are you dead? If not, hurry up to the guild!¡±
Thest message was from five minutes ago, judging from Old Qin¡¯s tone, he¡¯d probably kill Bai Qi if he didn¡¯t show up soon.
Why didn¡¯t Old Qin just send someone to fetch him if it¡¯s so urgent?
Bai Qi silently shifted the me onto President Qin,pletely forgetting that he had removed the doorbell and hid in the soundproof room.
¡°Oh right, your parents found out about you bing a beast master and were worried you wouldn¡¯t have enough money. So they transferred some money to you and asked me to remind you to check.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s change of expressions, Zhuge Chen said, ¡°Also, my father said thanks to you, the Undead Department Beasts from the Elf House has been selling really well recently. He wants you to be the spokesperson, are you interested?¡±
¡°Spokesperson? Why on earth would they choose me?¡±
Bai Qi was a bit confused, while Zhuge Chen helplessly exined, ¡°You¡¯ve really underestimated your influence. The first to pass through the Lamentation Tower, champion of the Haoli Dojo, and frequent visitor of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance¡¯s mansion, you could now be considered a famous figure in
Gusu City.¡±
Wait, when did the paparazzi get so efficient, they actually managed to capture all that?!
Keeping a low profile in mind, Bai Qi was about to refuse Zhuge Chen¡¯s goodwill.
¡°My father said, as long as you¡¯re willing to be a spokesperson, the remuneration is negotiable, but if you¡¯re not willing then he won¡¯t¡¡±
¡°No problem, when do we sign the contract?
Zhuge Chen: ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to think it over?
Bai Qi shook his head, firmly sticking to his decision.
It had nothing to do with the remuneration, he just wanted to rub salt in his own wounds once more..
Chapter 72 - 71: Occupational Assessment
Chapter 72: Chapter 71: upational Assessment
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing that Bai Qi didn¡¯t seem to be joking, Zhuge Chen pulled out a contract from his bag, saying, ¡°This is a contract my dad gave me, take a look at it. If you have any ideas, just let me know.¡±
Bai Qi took the contract andughed, ¡°Your dad left all these matters to you?
Sounds like you¡¯re going to inherit the family business.¡±
Zhuge Chen kicked at Bai Qi indignantly, ¡°Do you think I want this? Who asked me not to awaken my talent? I¡¯ve no choice but to follow my dad¡¯s old path.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think like that. Maybe one day you¡¯ll awaken suddenly .just like me.
Bai Qiforted him, then began to look through the contract.
The contract wasn¡¯tplicated. It simply required Bai Qi to stress that Alpha was purchased from the Elf House when others asked about its ownership. In return, the Elf House would pay Bai Qi 10% of the profits from sales of Undead Department Pets from the date of the contract.
Though it was only 10%, it was a considerable amount given the scale of the Elf
House, especially with the current Undead Department craze in Gusu City.
Bai Qi put down the contract with some confusion, ¡°Are you sure I don¡¯t need to do anything else?¡±
At the moment, he was someone who dealt withrge volumes of Federal Coins in the tens of millions. Yet, facing the terms Zhuge Chen has proposed, Bai Qi felt somewhat unsure about epting the money.
Suchx requirements were virtually indistinguishable from giving away money.
Zhuge Chen shrugged, ¡°This is a contract my dad drafted. I don¡¯t know the details, but if he wants to give it to you, just ept it. He has plenty of money.¡± Bai Qi fell silent. If even the heir to the business wasn¡¯t concerned, then why should he be?
Money offered on a tter, and legitimately at that-who wouldn¡¯t want it? Bai Qi swiftly signed his name on the contract and handed it to Zhuge Chen, ¡°So, you came for these two things?¡±
Zhuge Chen motioned to the Husky, who was busy tidying on the side, ¡°Originally, I came to take this guy back since it¡¯s been here for quite a while. But since you¡¯ve made a pact with it, forget it.
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Speaking of which, 1 haven¡¯t settled the money for this guy with you.¡±
¡°Forget it, you¡¯ve be our spokesperson now. We can let go of this small sum.¡±
Zhuge Chen waved his hand and said, ¡°But why did you make a pact with this little guy? If you like Arctic Ice Wolves, you should¡¯ve picked a better-qualified one from our house.¡±
Bai Qi sighed, ¡°Can I say I regret it now?¡±
I wonder when the secret realm Old Qin promised woulde. If it doesn¡¯te soon, he won¡¯t be able to stand the Husky¡¯s mischief any longer. ¡°You¡¯re too impatient. Getting Alpha, the Mutant Speciesst time, was down to your good luck. You should be more cautious with your second one.¡± ¡°Um, haven¡¯t I told you? This guy is also a Mutant Species¡
¡°¡Is it toote to return the money run now?¡±
Beast Master Association.
As soon as Bai Qi got off Zhuge Chen¡¯s car, Zhuge Chen immediately drove away, showing no sign of lingering.
If he didn¡¯t go back and thoroughly check after consecutively making pacts with two Mutant Speciesing from the Elf House, Zhuge Chen wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep.
¡°Should I tell him that the only two Mutant Species from their house are here with me?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head a little helplessly. He then turned around and began walking into the association.
Before he got far, President Qin¡¯s secretary came his way, hurriedly saying when he saw Bai Qi, ¡°You¡¯re finally here, Bai Qi. If you didn¡¯te soon, the President was going to personally hunt you down.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯ve been a little busy recently, didn¡¯t notice¡ didn¡¯t notice.¡±
¡°Never mind, I¡¯ll take you to see the President now.¡±
The secretary shook his head and led Bai Qi to President Qin¡¯s office.
¡°Mr. President, Bai Qi is here.¡±
¡°Mmm, you can leave us.¡±
President Qin turned around and looked at Bai Qi, who seemed a little guilty.
He wanted tosh out, but held back.
Calm down, he still had to test for general headquarters those old guysing up. He would put up with it.
Thinking of this, President Qin gave a dry cough and reced his expression with a warm smile, ¡°How¡¯s training goingtely? Encountered any problems?¡±
¡°Uh, it¡¯s fine for now.¡±
Seeing President Qin suddenly sporting a smile, Bai Qi felt even more guilty, ¡°Why did you want to see me, President Qin?¡±
¡°The professional exam is tomorrow. I called you over because there¡¯s a task I need to give you.¡±
The exam is tomorrow? Time passed so quickly?
Bai Qi felt lost, which only served to fuel President Qin¡¯s indignation.
This guy has really forgotten!
¡°Cough cough!¡±
President Qin coughed twice, turned around, and continued without looking at Bai Qi, ¡°Normally, the professional exams in each city are separate. However, this year, due to the Lamentation Tower, the exam in Gusu City was postponed by half a month, coinciding with our neighboring Lingxi City.
¡°So, the president of the Beast Master Association in the next city wants to co-host arge exam with Gusu City, and in the process, allow the young beast masters in both cities to interact.
Bai Qi scratched his head, asking uncertainly, ¡°So?¡±
¡°So, in order not to lose face for Gusu City, you must take first ce in this professional exam!¡±
President Qin¡¯s forehead vein throbbed and his patience was failing.
¡°President, calm down, calm down!¡±
Bai Qi awkwardlyughed, then asked, ¡°But I heard that the beast masters of Lingxi City are considered strong in the entire Federation, what if something goes wrong?¡±
President Qin¡¯s eye twitched slightly, ¡°Then should I cancel you from the elite training list and rece you with someone more capable?¡±
¡°just kidding, just kidding, I guarantee I¡¯llplete the task!¡±
Hearing that, Bai Qi¡¯s face turned serious and he epted the task from President Qin.
President Qin gradually calmed down, ¡°Indeed, the overall level of the beast masters in Lingxi City is higher than that of Gusu City, you should prepare diligently.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. His mother was from Lingxi City, so he had some understanding of it.
Due to the system of eliminating thest ce, students from Lingxi City almost always proceeded under pressure, so if yougged behind even a bit, you risked being eliminated.
Therefore, all Beast Masters from Lingxi City were born fighters, daring topete and contend.
¡°Also, the supportive secret realm I mentioned to youst time has arrived, see if it¡¯s suitable.¡±
President Qin took out a ring and said, ¡°It¡¯s definitely less valuablepared to the Gemini Tower, but the space inside is not small, you should be able to conduct your experiments safely.¡±
Adding to this, President Qin said seriously, ¡±1 know you¡¯re talented in the mechanisms aspect, but for some dangerous experiments, don¡¯t do them at home. I don¡¯t want to be used of the Beast Master Association abusing its power.¡±
Taken aback, Bai Qi soon understood.
No wonder no one reported the Husky¡¯s mischief at home, it turned outPresident Qin helped to suppress it.
Wow, having an organization is indeed great..
Chapter 73 - 72: Practical Application of Runes
Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Practical Application of Runes
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi submerged his spirit power into the ring and saw a vast in, faint traces of cultivation still visible.
¡°This sanctuary used to be used for breeding nt-attribute pets, it was recently moved out, so the environment is still pretty good.¡±
President Qin said, ¡°However, you have to treasure it. If you mess around too much, you¡¯ll be the one losing out.¡±
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, already starting to n the renovation of the sanctuary.
He had to rebuild his workshop. He received a series of mechanical engineering manuals from Yi Yu, and Bai Qi needed to spend some time studying them.
Husky needed a new home as well, um, it had to be explosion-proof.
Then there was Alpha¡¯s training room¡
It was another massive project.
¡°There¡¯s one more thing. The association ns to summon thetest batch of special training members to the headquarters for training, so once your assessment is over, you¡¯ll go straight to the headquarters.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve informed Professor Chu, so you don¡¯t have to worry about your studies.¡±
Bai Qi was stunned, ¡°Is Professor Chu that easy to deal with?¡±
In Star Mechanics Academy, Professor Chu was the most senior and also the most tough. Bai Qi¡¯s absence from exams wouldn¡¯t necessarily obtain a passing grade from Professor Chu.
¡°Professor Chu is just demanding, not pedantic. Plus, when¡¯s thest time you went to ss? Don¡¯t you have an idea in your mind?¡±
President Qin nced at Bai Qi and said, ¡®Tve arranged with Professor Chu. As long as you submit an assignment before the start of the next semester, you¡¯ll be fine.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Then shall I prepare to leave?¡±
¡°Get out as soon as possible. I get annoyed when I see you.¡±
President Qin waved his hand, indicating that Bai Qi should leave as soon as possible. Bai Qi, relieved, quickly left.
¡°This guy, really unreliable. Suddenly, I kind of understand Heguang¡¯s feelings.¡±
Watching Bai Qi¡¯s retreating figure, President Qin shook his head helplessly.
When Bai Qi returned home, he immediately began to pack and tidy up.
The rune set, God¡¯s Water, Angel Fruit¡
A series of items rted to beast control were all organised by Bai Qi. He then took out the Secret Realm Core Ring and put it on his hand. Using his spirit power to cover the items in front of him, the once crowded yard instantly emptied.
¡°Having a space equipment is indeed refreshing. My mom no longer has to worry about me not tidying up.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, looked at the equipment and materials that appeared in the sanctuary, then used his spirit power to wrap himself. He also appeared in the sanctuary.
This sanctuary, which was once used to cultivate nt-attribute pets, had a considerably better environment than the Gemini Tower and arge enough space of about 20 or 30 acres to fully utilize.
¡°First, let¡¯s organize the things, then prepare for tomorrow¡¯s assessment.¡±
Looking at the pile of stuff in front of him, Bai Qi summoned his twin pets.
Woof woof!
(What is this ce?!)
Husky was obviously curious about this unfamiliar ce, cautiously checking the surroundings. But after confirming there was no danger, it started to run around freely,pletely ignoring Bai Qi¡¯s orders.
¡°This guy, can¡¯t really count on him.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly, then began to instruct Alpha to start sorting.
The sorting process was essentially a simple categorization. There was no power source in the sanctuary, some equipment could not be used, so Bai Qi and Alphapleted the work quickly.
¡°I need to get an energy system next time, I¡¯ll check out Jiuding Mall when I have time.¡±
After arranging his things, Bai Qi pulled out a Spider Web Ball that had been engraved with explosion runes by Husky.
Because it was spherical, the explosion runes on the Spider Web ball were a bit crooked, but overall they were sessful.
Bai Qi looked at the Spider Web Ball in his hand, eager to try it out, but considering the unpredictability of Husky¡¯s creations, he handed the Spider Web Ball over to Alpha.
¡°Alpha, test how effective it is.¡±
Click click.
Alpha nodded and threw the Spider Web Ball forcefully.
Bang.
The SpiderWeb Ball smashed onto the ground without any reaction, and not even a trace of a web was spread out.
¡°It¡¯s broken?¡±
Bai Qi let Alpha recover the Spider Web Ball to check it again thoroughly, but he couldn¡¯t find anything wrong with it.
¡°Maybe the wrong person is using it?¡±
Bai Qi turned his gaze towards the exuberant Husky and ordered Alpha to grab him.
¡°Beta, are the ones that you ignited before and this one the same?¡±
Woof?
(Is there a problem?)
Husky curiously took the Spider Web Ball, gave it a good look, and then straightforwardly threw it away.
Boom!
The Spider Web Ball instantly exploded, sting a huge hole in the originally t prairie. The scattered webs made the surroundings a mess.
Indeed, a separate area must be allocated for this guy.
As Bai Qi observed the gradually recovering secret realm, he grabbed Husky and said, ¡°Make one for me again directly on the spot.¡±
Husky¡¯s eyes lit up at his words, and his mechanical arms swayed rapidly, quickly assembling another Spider Web Ball.
Next, using the engraving knife Bai Qi had taken from the Tower of Gratitude, Husky clumsily engraved the Explosion Rune onto the Spider Web Ball, giving birth to a brand new Explosive Spider Web Ball.
Donning the rune sses, Bai Qi observed a faint red color and poor quality.
¡°Throw it again for a try.¡±
Upon themand, Husky once again tossed the SpiderWeb Ball. The Explosion Rune was triggered again. Still, this time, it was frozen by Alpha with frost before it could explode.
¡°So it is like this, the st power was injected during the engraving. No wonder even with such a low degree ofpletion, it can have such an effect.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in approval. Thebination of st Power and the Explosion Rune was a quick way to enhance Husky¡¯sbat power.
But it was a bit dangerous.
¡°From now on, only after you get good at engraving the rune can you engrave the Explosion Rune on these things, got it?¡±
Bai Qi looked seriously at Husky, who wore a face of distress.
Woof¡
(Human, you can¡¯t be so mean.)
Bai Qi ignored Husky¡¯sment and turned to Alpha. Finding a random ice attribute rune, he asked, ¡°Alpha, try to engrave using the ice attribute energy.¡±
Alpha nodded, receiving the engraving knife from Bai Qi, and started to engrave on an ice brick.
Clink clink.
(Boss, it¡¯s done.)
After these days of training, Alpha¡¯s carving technique was significantly better than Husky¡¯s. At the moment of the rune¡¯spletion, Bai Qi even saw a halo covering the whole ice brick.
¡°Beta, use the st w on this ice brick.¡±
Woof?
(Human, who are you belittling?)
Husky looked at Bai Qi skeptically but obediently used the st w.
The red energy flowed from Husky¡¯s ws into the ice brick, but instead of exploding the ice brick into pieces as Husky imagined, it merely sted a chink onto it.
Woof?
(The art¡ is gone?)
Rune: Solidify.
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes sparkled, unable to care about Husky¡¯s forlorn expression. He dug out all the ice attribute and dark attribute runes, letting Alpha try them one by one.
Runes for practical use! Just in time for testing in tomorrow¡¯s assessment!

Chapter 74: Chapter Seventy-Three: Domination Assessment

By the side of Taize Lake.
At the border between Gusu City and Lingxi City, outside Danggu Mountain examination point.
Because the two cities had a joint examination for the first time, the professional examination was unprecedentedly popr. Although the majority were young people, many middle-aged people also came to try their luck.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect a joint examination between the two cities this time, the n of startling everyone by passing the examination in one try doesn¡¯t seem feasible.¡±
Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Lu Yuan¡¯s expression was a bit solemn.
With the help of resources obtained inside Lamentation Tower, he had raised his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger very well. Aside from a few people like Bai Qi or Xia Xuan, he felt quite confident.
However, including Lingxi City was a different matter.
The overall standard of Beast Masters in Lingxi City is higher than in Gusu City, and even more so for the students at Tianxuan High School within it.
After a brief observation, Lu Yuan had already spotted many students from Tianxuan High School.
¡°Lu Yuan, you came quite early.¡±
Gao Cheng parted the crowded audience to reach Lu Yuan.
¡°Brother Cheng.¡±
Lu Yuanughed and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s the first joint examination between the two cities, I should definitelye early to observe the situation.¡±
After Lamentation Tower, the two had be more familiar and often trained andpleted tasks together.
¡°True, the difficulty level of this examination is much higher than usual. I wonder if I can pass.¡±
Despite what he said, Gao Cheng didn¡¯t seem particrly nervous.
With the resources he had obtained from the Lamentation Tower, he gave his Fire Armor Scorpion a huge power boost. Coupled with his previous experiences, he felt confident about passing the exam despite the joint examination between the two cities.
¡°Yoho, both of you are here.¡±
At this moment, Han Wei came forward from afar, his face full of disdain.
¡°Had I known there would be so many people, I would haveeter, what a loss.¡±
Han Wei yawnedzily. Seeing this, Gao Cheng couldn¡¯t help but give a wry smile, saying, ¡°The difficulty level of this examination is not small,ing early to limate to the environment is beneficial.¡±
¡°Adapting does nothing if we can¡¯t enter the examination hall.¡±
Han Wei pursed his lips and looked around, asking, ¡°By the way, have Bai Qi and Xia Xuan arrived?¡±
Gao Cheng shook his head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen them, but I¡¯m pretty sure they won¡¯t pass up on this examination.¡±
Han Wei stretchedzily and said, ¡°True, both of them have reached the Second Stage and are sure to pass.¡±
¡°Second Stage?!¡±
Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng eximed almost in unison, their eyes full of disbelief as they turned towards Han Wei.
¡°You guys didn¡¯t know? Some time ago, Bai Qi and Xia Xuan had a fight. I don¡¯t know the exact result, but judging by Xia Xuan¡¯s state afterward, I think he lost.¡±
Remembering Xia Xuan¡¯s disgusted expression when he asked about the incidentst time, Han Wei couldn¡¯t help chuckling.
That guy, he actually reached the Second Stage?
Lu Yuan stood dumbfounded, feeling like his worldview was being washed away once again.
It must be because he hasn¡¯t undergone enhancements¡
That must be it!
On the other side, Bai Qi found his examination hall with his admission ticket, and looking at the bustling crowd around him, he couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit nostalgic.
¡°But, there are really a lot of people.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a bit like the talent market of my past life.¡±
Bai Qi looked around and didn¡¯t see many familiar faces, so he headed straight for the examination hall entrance.
The professional examination was divided into three parts.
The first part was the basic examination, primarily testing the level of your pet beast and other various indicators.
The second part was a theoretical examination, testing the Beast Master¡¯s understanding of nurturing pet beasts and wilderness exploration and other aspects.
Both of these examinations were conducted in the morning, while the third part, the practical examination, was in the afternoon.
At this time, Bai Qi held his exam admission card and moved forward with the crowd, and in front of them, there was a massive gate-like detection instrument.
As long as the candidates summoned their pet beasts and passed through the gate, all relevant data would be detected clearly and precisely. Simr instruments were ced in thirty locations at the Danggu Mountain examination site.This was also the reason why both tests were held in the morning.
¡°Please show your admission ticket.¡±
A female examiner sat in front of the detector, smiled and picked up the instrument to scan a boy¡¯s admission ticket. After confirming it was correct, she said, ¡°Please summon your pet and stand in the marked position.¡± Those able to serve as professional examiners were naturally professional Beast Masters. Although it was only for a short day, the remuneration was quite generous.
Especially for this joint exam between two cities, the slots for examiner were fiercelypeted for.
The boy seemed to be infected by the female examiner¡¯s smile, his face slightly red, but it somewhat alleviated his pressure. He took a deep breath, and a pale white summoning array appeared in front of him.
Then, a tall bird, predominantly white, with a bright red crown on its head and ck throat and neck, crawled out of the array.
[Name]: Red-crowned Crane
[Race): Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Air Slice, Flight, Red Poison
The Red-crowned Crane, one of the signature pets of Gusu City, looking at its feathers and red crown, was trained quite well.
Meanwhile, the detector timely reported the data of the Red-crowned Crane.
¡°Examinee: Yu shan.¡±
¡°Race Name: Red-crowned Crane.¡±
¡°Bloodline Level: Mid-Level Elite.¡±
¡°Growth Level: First Stage One Level.¡±
¡°Energy Value: 1200.¡±
Hearing these data, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, and the female examiner on the side nodded as well.
Generally speaking, pets had less demand for energy value at the Zero Stage, since the number of skills used at the Zero Stage was quite limited.
After all, with just a couple hundred energy points, a skill might be exhausted, not worth it, so most attacks are basic.
However, once they progressed to the First Stage, their energy value experienced a breakthrough.
For an elite level like the Red-crowned Crane, the minimum energy value was about 1000. The boy¡¯s pet was only at the First Stage One Level and had 1200 energy value, which was considered not bad in terms of training.
After all, the more or less of the energy value directly affected the number of times the skill can be used, having more naturally had the advantage.
But from then on, unless there was a racial evolution, it could only be slowly umted by hard work, no more breakthrough increases should ur.
The exam went on as usual, basically no highlights, even a bit dull Although everyone knew that Elite races were powerful, not everyone could make a pact with them. Many people¡¯s pacts were at the Servant level, with energy values basically below 1000.
¡°Examinee: Wang Yun.¡±
¡°Race Name: Six-eyed Monkey.¡±
¡°Bloodline Level: Low-Level Lord.¡±
¡°Growth Level: First Stage Four Level.¡±
¡°Energy Value: 4300.¡±
In an instant, the original dull detection environment suddenly stirred up waves, as exmations came from all sides.
¡°Holy shit, a Lord-Level pet!¡±
¡°The energy value is ten times mine, haha, I am a waste¡¡±
¡°Is it from Lingxi City? It¡¯s over, there¡¯s no chance for this exam.¡±
A slew of examinees turned their heads in the direction of the sound. When they saw the Tainxuan High School uniform on that girl, there was another exmatory uproar.
¡°It turns out she¡¯s from Tainxuan High School, no wonder.¡±
Being stared at by many examinees from Gusu City, Wang Yun just kept a cold face, full of disdain in her heart.
She had long heard that although Gusu City was overall more developed than Lingxi City, the young Beast Masters were much poorer, totally not living up to the scale of Gusu City.
Wang Yun put the Six-eyed Monkey on her shoulder, passed through the detector, and looked at the few ssmates causingmotion around, and justughed softly.
If everything goes as expected, they from Lingxi City will dominate this joint examination..
Chapter 75 - 74: Stealing the Spotlight
Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Stealing the Spotlight
Trantor: 549690339
Soon, Wang Yun met up with some of her ssmates.
¡°How did it go for you all?¡± she asked.
A female student smiled, saying, ¡°It was a breeze. But the overall skill level in Gusu City is so low. There was not a single one with an Energy Value above one thousand.¡±
Wang Yun replied with a faint smile, ¡°Don¡¯t getcent. We are not only representing Tainxuan High School but also the honor of Lingxi City. We¡¯ll be in trouble if we don¡¯t make it into the top ten.¡±
Hearing her words, the other girls shrank their necks slightly and mumbled, ¡°There are ten or more boys over there, it¡¯s gonna be hard making it into the top ten. The top twenty is more like it.¡±
¡°Exactly. Gusu City is in such a mess right now. The final rankings will probably match the school rankings.¡±
Despite the loud chatter, the candidates from Gusu City were helpless despite their vexation.
At that moment, a report drew everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Candidate: Bai Qi.¡±
¡°Race Name: Ice Shadow Swordsman.¡±
¡°Bloodline Level: High-grade Elite.¡±
¡°Growth Level: First Stage Eighth Level.¡±
¡°Energy Value: 13000.¡±
The site fell silent momentarily.
Did someone just make it above ten thousand?
And it¡¯s a High-grade Elite to boot?
The crowd was dumbfounded, staring at Bai Qi, wide-eyed and incredulous.
Even a Low-level Lord only had an Energy Value of 4300, how did this guy end up with 13000?
I must be hallucinating due tock of sleep.
Everyone shook their heads, but the data on the detector had not changed.
¡°Wait, it¡¯s that Bai Qi!¡±
At that moment, one sharp-eyed person recognized Bai Qi and soon others followed suit.
¡°The one who passed the Lamentation Tower first?¡±
¡°No wonder Qiu Cha is familiar with him, the people he associates with cannot be ordinary.¡±
¡°Tsk¡ It¡¯s hard to believe, but for some reason, I am feeling great suddenly.¡±
¡°Me too.¡±
Seeing the expressions of candidates from Tainxuan High School and Lingxi City change, the candidates of Gusu City were relieved as they held their heads high.
¡°May I leave now?¡±
Bai Qi had anticipated that Alpha¡¯s extraordinary Energy Value might cause some disturbance, but he hadn¡¯t expected it to be so exaggerated.
¡°Yes, you may leave now. Please prepare for the theory examination.¡±
The examiner pointed towards an adjacent passage, silently uploading Bai Qi¡¯s data.
As a Beast Master of Gusu City himself, he had heard that Bai Qi had caught the Council Elder¡¯s eye. It seems that the person the Elder was referring to was Bai Qi-
But a High-grade Elite with an Energy Value of 13,000 was scary indeed, the young ones were too fearsome.
Given this, Gusu City might actually stand a chance in this joint examination.
Bai Qi recalled Alpha, preparing to find his theory examination hall. At this moment, candidates who had passed the first round of examination quickly swarmed around him.
¡°Dude, an Energy Value of 13,000. Did you drug your beast?¡±
¡°I heard that the Ice Shadow Swordsman is a high-rank evolution of the Skeleton Knight. Do you have any special cultivation methods? I¡¯ll buy them at a high price!¡±
¡°Move aside! How can someone just give away such secrets? By the way, where did you buy your pet beast? I¡¯ll reach the Second Stage soon and want to get one for myself.¡±
Seeing the horde of people pouncing at him like a pack of wolves, Bai Qi felt nervous. He finally managed to escape with the examiner¡¯s help.
¡°Being in the spotlight has its downsides, I need to stay home more often in the future.¡±
Bai Qi quickly left, but a few pairs of eyes remained fixated on him.
¡°Wang Yun, do you think Zhang Kai and the others can beat this guy?¡±
Wang Yun frowned, saying, ¡°The strength of a pet beast is not solely determined by its Energy Value. He might just be an empty vessel. Instead of worrying about Bai Qi, you should be more cautious of running into Xia Xuan.¡±
The group of girls agreed and started looking for Xia Xuan.
¡°I heard Xia Xuan is handsome and he¡¯s the heir to the Xia¡¯s Group, wouldn¡¯t it be great if we could get acquainted with him?¡±
¡°Dream on. I just saw Xia Xuan going inside.¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t I hear anything?¡±
¡°You were too busy looking at Bai Qi to notice anything else.¡±
¡°Oh no¡ I missed out.¡±
Achoo!
Not far away, Xia Xuan, escorted by Hua Rong and his followers, was heading towards the examination hall when he sneezed. He then cast a nce at Bai Qi.
He believed that the data and appearance of his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus would definitely ignite the venue. However, he was testing at the same time as Bai Qi, resulting in Bai Qi stealing the limelight, leaving him unnoticed.
This guy¡ Why does he steal my thunder everywhere we go, like a limpet?
¡°Young Master Xuan, don¡¯t bother about him. Energy Value is not everything in a professional examination. In the following two rounds, Young Master Xuan will surely shine!¡±
Hua Rong tteringplement calmed Xia Xuan down.
That was true. Be it the theory or practical examination, he was confident. All he had to do was be mindful of that bloody dog.
Thinking that way, Xia Xuan walked proudly towards the examination hall.
If he secured the first position in the joint examination, he could finally hold his head high in front of those two.
Soon, the first round of basic examination ended, and the written test was about to begin.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re in this examination hall too?¡±
When Bai Qi arrived in front of the examination hall, he ran into Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan.
Bai Qi asked, ¡°You both are in this hall too?¡±
Gao Cheng nodded and said, ¡°Yes, you and I are in the same hall, Lu Yuan is next door.¡±
Bai Qi understood and prepared to enter the examination hall.
¡°Bai Qi, how prepared are you for this examination?¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°I should be fine.¡±
As a student at the Department of Mechanized Martial Arts, Bai Qi was confident about his intellect. He had also crammed with past years¡¯ real papers before setting out, so he thought he should be alright.
Besides, he had a half-mechanized dog called Husky. The examination materials were already stored in Husky¡¯s smart brain.
What? You say it¡¯s cheating?
Where does the regtion of professional Beast Master examination say that a pet beast can¡¯t help?
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s confident appearance, Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
¡°That¡¯s good. In this joint examination between two cities, the question papers will also be set by the two cities together. There will certainly be some characteristic questions from Lingxi City. I thought you were unprepared, but since you are, it should be fine.¡±
What!
Why didn¡¯t Old Qin tell me about this?
Bai Qi remained silent for a while before he could squeeze out a sentence.
¡°Gao Cheng, do you have any materials with you? Can I revise them again?¡±
Gao Cheng:¡±¡.¡±
Chapter 76 - 75: Don’t Ask, If You Ask, I Did Better Than You in the Test
Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Don¡¯t Ask, If You Ask, I Did Better Than You in the Test
Trantor: 549690339
The theoretical exam was half an hourter, Bai Qi, relying on Husky¡¯s brainpower, finally managed to record it. He then entered the exam room filled with confidence.
The exam room was not small,rge enough to amodate over a hundred people taking the exam at the same time. Above the exam room, all kinds of creatures from the Mechanical Engineering Department were almost everywhere.
Given the presence of Star Mechanics Academy, the use of mechanical creatures in Gusu City was quite extensive, so Bai Qi was not surprised that these devices were being used to monitor him.
But what was the purpose of these Super Energy Dolls?
[Name]: Super Energy Doll
[Race]: Super Energy Apartment
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Skills]: Telekinesis, Synchronization Interference, Illusion Beam
Bai Qi sensed his twin pets, which were essentially unreachable, and couldn¡¯t help but develop a headache.
Originally, he nned to cheat using Husky. Now, it seemed that this wasn¡¯t going to work.
Trying to take shortcuts really was not the way to go.
As Bai Qi was observing the surrounding surveince equipment, three examiners walked in. The head examiner said, ¡°All examinees, please take your seats. Do not sit in the wrong position.¡±
Bai Qi and the others took their seats in response. Once everyone was ready, the screens on the desks disyed the test paper for this theoretical exam.
To improve efficiency, both answering the questions and grading were done on the smart brain. Basically, the theoretical exam results would be out before the afternoon¡¯s practical exam started.
Bai Qi received the test paper and first nced over the whole paper.
Just as Gao Cheng predicted, there were many ssic questions from Lingxi City in this exam. The content was almost evenly split with Gusu City.
Thest big question was a bit surprising to Bai Qi. It was about rune knowledge.
¡°This is practically a freebie, I¡¯ve got this.¡±
¡°Watch how a genius like me crushes thepetition!¡±
In the meeting room of the Danggu Mountain Exam Centre.
President Qin and the President of Lingxi City Beast Master Association, Cui Ming, were sitting in front of a huge screen, checking the results of the first exam.
¡°President Qin, has Gusu City been toocent these years? These results are not promising,¡± said Cui Ming mockingly, looking at the Lingxi City examinees leading significantly on the screen.
¡±Hmm-¡±
Seeing Cui Ming¡¯s smug appearance, President Qin¡¯s eyes twitched. Pretending not to hear Cui Ming¡¯s words, he asked the several Shining Moon-level Beast Masters around him, ¡°Have the data for the top ten been sorted out yet?¡±
A Shining Moon-level mage nodded, operated on the keyboard for a while, and the data of ten examinees appeared on the screen.
Looking at the data of the top ten, President Qin¡¯s expression improved considerably. 1. Bai Qi
Test pet: Ice Shadow Swordsman, a High-grade Elite, First Stage Eighth Level.
Energy Value: 13,000 points. - 2. Xia Xuan
Test pet: Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, a Low-level Lord, First Stage fifth level.
Energy Value: 9,000 - 3. Zhang Kai
Test pet: Nocturnal Roon, a Low-level Lord, First Stage sixth level.
Energy Value: 8,800 - 4. Han Wei
Test pet: Wind Demon Wolf, a High-grade Elite, First Stage fourth level.
Energy Value: 5,600 - 5. Wang Yun
Test pet: Six-eyed Monkey, a Low-level Lord, First Stage fourth level.
Energy Value: 4,300
Three of the top five candidates were from Gusu City, and Bai Qi¡¯s energy value took the lead. This was definitely something to boast about.
¡°A High-grade Elite with an energy value of 13000? President Qin really kept this trump card up his sleeve.¡±
Looking at Bai Qi¡¯s shocking performance, Cui Ming couldn¡¯t hide his astonishment but refused to back down, he said, ¡°So, Bai Qi is the special trainee you endorsed to the headquarters, isn¡¯t he, President Qin? It¡¯s a shame that Yan Yun from our Lingxi City, advanced so rapidly that he was given his professional certification early. Otherwise, these two could havepeted.¡±
President Qin chuckled and replied, ¡°No need to rush. After all, the special trainees will have plenty of opportunities in the uing group training. Let¡¯s focus on the current examination.¡±
Cui Ming said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Even though a high energy value is impressive, the practical examination tests more than just one¡¯s ability to control beasts.¡±
Their Lingxi City was famous for its Super Energy Beasts, and among their Beast Masters, they had several individuals with unique talents, which gave them an advantage in the practical test.
¡°Hehe¡I heard that Yan Yun is already at the third stage? Coincidentally, Celestial Brilliance¡¯s son, Bai Qiucha, who also is at the third stage, is in Gusu City. Why don¡¯t they meet?¡±
What a cheek, bringing up the unique and gifted Soul Communicator, Bai Qiucha, the son of the Legendary Son. Why don¡¯t you call the Legendary Celestial Brilliance himself?
Seeing Cui Ming¡¯s fiasco brought President Qin immense satisfaction.
Although Gusu City was still overall inferior to Lingxi City, their high-end talents were exceptional. They had three in the top five and five in the top ten. The crucial part was that the first ce was from their city.
Moreover, as the Lamentation Tower gradually opened up to the entire city, the overall standard of Gusu City would rise as well.
It all banked on whether Bai Qi could hold up his end in the practical tests ahead.
In the examination room.
Bai Qi stared at the question paper before him, deep in thought.
Question 12: What should a Beast Master do when he is hypnotized by a spirit-beast in the wild, and there is no time to summon his own beast?
Who would venture into the wild without summoning their beast beforehand?
If such a situation did ur, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t overly worried. With Husky¡¯s superior perception, Bai Qi didn¡¯t anticipate such an oue.
However, a spirit beast might disrupt Husky¡¯s senses, which reminded him to improve their resistance to such interference in the future.
Question 15: What is the correct course of action when a Beast Master is surrounded by a group of ferocious beasts in the wild?
Wait, was this question even worth considering? Either you trample over your opponents, or they trounce you. Did they want you to throw a party with the beasts instead?
Grouching about the starkly different real exam questions aspared to the past years, Bai Qi quicklypleted the exam.
Quite a few candidates had alsopleted, but since candidates weren¡¯t allowed to submit papers early for the theory exam, everyone just waited, mostly spending the time left to review their answers.
Compared to the uing practical test, the first two tests weren¡¯t as essential, but they were able to weed out those with inadequate basic skills.
But Bai Qi had no intention of reviewing his answers. After verifying that his identity information on the paper was urate, he leaned onto the table and started to meditate.
As everyone knows, the probability of revised answers being wrong is quite high.
Soon, the theory exam was over. The candidates exhaled with relief and pulled out their phones to wait for the results.
Because the papers were checked by a smart system, the results of the theory exam came out quickly, deciding whether the candidates could partake in the next round ¨C the practical test.
Indeed, within five minutes, some candidates found their scores.
¡°Damn, I scored exactly 60 points! Thank you all!¡±
¡°I only got 61 points, I¡¯m such a loser.¡±
¡°Ditto, ditto!¡±
Gao Cheng came over to Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, how did you do?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and sighed, ¡°I crammedst minute, but thankfully, I managed to pass.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good. The most important part, the third round of practical tests, is yet toe.¡±
Gao Cheng nodded. He had scored 88 points, just around what he had expected. Adding the grades from the first test, as long as he performed decently in the next round, he should be among the top 50. It was a pity that thest rune question exceeded his expectations; otherwise, his score would have been much higher.
¡°By the way, how much did you score?¡±
Looking at Bai Qi¡¯s frustrated face, Gao Cheng somehow feltpelled to ask.
¡°Ah, just scored 95. Misread one question.¡±
Why the hell did I ask this guy?
Is this the world of top performers?
Chapter 77 - 76: Practical Assessment Begins
Chapter 77 - 76: Practical Assessment Begins
Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Practical Assessment Begins
Trantor: 549690339 ¡ã
Soon, the results of the first two rounds of the assessment were out, and the list ofpetitors eligible for the next round of the practical test was disyed on the big screen at the foot of Danggu Mountain.
¡°Wow, 9,527 candidates passed the first two rounds, two-thirds of them are from Lingxi City. Just how over-the-top can this get?¡±
Bai Qi glimpsed at the list on the screen, and couldn¡¯t help smacking his lips. No wonder Old Qin demanded that he must win first ce. They clearly gave up on the lower end of the market.
However, the Beast Masters from Lingxi City were really overdoing it, each of the scores was just unbelievable.
¡°Attention, candidates. The third-round practical test will start at 1 p.m. sharp, all candidates should get prepared in advance.¡±
The practical test will be a wilderness survival exercise, arge number of ferocious beasts have been released in the Danggu Mountain, posing potential threats, yet also hiding ample resources.¡±
¡°ording to the regtions of the exam, all resources obtained during the exercise will belong to the examinee.¡±
Resources will be the examinee¡¯s property? How could this be?
Listening to this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes sparkled. With Husky, the canine radar, wouldn¡¯t the resources in Danggu Mountain be at their disposal?
Moreover, he just received a new Secret Realm Ring, which could be used to store resources.
He couldn¡¯t help but feel that Old Qin deliberately gave him the Secret Realm Ring around this time.
Achoo.
In the monitoring room, President Qin suddenly sneezed for no reason, looking rather puzzled.
How could he suddenly sneeze during such hot weather? That must be some audacious soul thinking about him.
President Qin nced at the distribution map of resources and ferocious beasts in Danggu Mountain, his eyes flickered with spection.
Just how far could these youngsters go?
Time flew by, and Bai Qi received his unique task.
In order to fully assess each candidate¡¯s strength, the association would design targeted missions based on the first round¡¯s assessment of the pet.
Missions:
A: Hunt a Light Feather Bird.
B: Collect a piece of thunder ore.
C: Hunt a Steel Scaled Snake.
What¡¯s this? Is there no room left for survival at all?
Having to go after the Light Feather Bird and the thunder ore was now beyond the question of whether it could be done or found. They had seemingly decided not to let Alpha, this undead creature, get anywhere near them.
Especially the thunder ore, there were bound to be ferocious beasts guarding the vicinity of this type of attribute-bearing ore, and its attribute was probably thunder, this was too clearly targeted.
As for the Steel Scaled Snake, this creature lived underground for years and disliked fighting. One would usually not be able to find it unless one had the ability to burrow.
Just who so rudely set this overtly targeted mission? No wonder Gao Cheng couldn¡¯t pass the examination year after year.
Bai Qi, however, was not too worried. These missions were only targeted at Alpha, not at Husky. It could even be said that these three missions were basically a pure giveaway for Husky.
Indeed, having two pets with different attributes was a beautiful thing.
Complete the missions first thing after the assessment starts and then start collecting resources.¡±
Bai Qiid out the general n and followed the guide of the examiner into Danggu Mountain.
The atmosphere within Danggu Mountain was nothing like the one beside Taize Lake because of the numerous ferocious creatures released. It made one feel as if they had arrived at a vast primitive forest.
In fact, with the scale of Danggu Mountain, it was not any different from the primeval forests of Bai Qi¡¯s previous life.
Looking at the dark forest in front of him, Bai Qi involuntarily shuddered and quickly summoned his pets.
¡°Alpha, stay nearby to protect me. Husky, you look for these targets.¡±
Bai Qi ryed the three mission objectives to Husky, who, however, exhibited a reluctant look.
Woof Woof! Woof Woof!
(¡°I¡¯ve been immersed in studying recently and don¡¯t have time for these trivial matters.¡±)
Seeing this, Bai Qi widened his grin and said, ¡°You believe it or not; I can get your gear stripped down right now?¡±
Awooo?
(¡°Did I just say something?¡±)
Bai Qi patted Husky, telling both
Persistent Pain Gxy B-0655 of his pets about the mission and rewards of this trial.
The practical test willst until six a.m. tomorrow, and all resources found during this period will be ours. We¡¯ll be left empty-handed if we¡¯rete.¡± When Bai Qi brought this up, Husky immediately understood, and he suddenly looked ferocious. He barked towards Danggu Mountain ahead.
(¡°The resources here are mine, as far as I¡¯m concerned. Even a legend cannot take them.¡±)
Seeing Husky like this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, while Alpha on the side was still somewhat bewildered.
Crack. Crack.
(¡°Resources, are they edible?¡±)
While Alpha¡¯s intelligence was growing, it was all manifested in battle. His enlightenment in other aspects was almost nil, he didn¡¯t understand why its Master and Husky were so excited.
¡°So, where should we start exploring?¡±
Bai Qi looked around, seeing only clusters of deep fog, he was unable to detect his exact location.
To avoid conflicts arising too early, the staff members had transported the participants to different locations utilizing flight system beasts before the assessment.
Then let¡¯s advance toward the top of the mountain along this path. The best resources should be at the highest point.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the peak that was just visible through the fog and instructed Husky to move swiftly.
¡°Husky, remember to watch out for resources along the way, anything will do.¡± Since he had the Secret Space, it wouldn¡¯t matter how much he took. It would be a waste not to take them.
Woof Woof!
They hadn¡¯t walked far before Husky started barking at something ahead.
Alpha instantly prepared for battle as well.
¡°What, enemy?¡±
Bai Qi looked around nervously. The fog here remained dense. If they encountered a toxic beast ambush, while the two beasts may be unharmed, he would certainly be in trouble.
Awooo?
( Enemy? Didn¡¯t you tell me to find resources?¡±)
Husky looked at Bai Qi with disdain, then jumped up to a tall tree and teased a white flower before bringing it to Bai Qi.
[Name]: God¡¯s Flower
[Description]: medicinal herb, can be used to produce God¡¯s Water
This was a pretty good find, too bad he didn¡¯t have the recipe to produce God¡¯s Water.
Bai Qi put the God¡¯s Flower into the Secret Space. Just as he was thinking about praising Husky, he noticed that Husky was digging something under the tree where he found God¡¯s Flower.
Did he find another resource? This detection capability was just too impressive.
Seeing Husky¡¯s actions, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes sparkled, feeling increasingly convinced that contracting with Husky was the right choice.
However, seeing Husky burying a stone with an explosion rune carved on it in a deep hole, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched involuntarily.
¡°Husky, what are you doing?¡±
Woof Woof!

¡°Why do you need to use an explosion rune for marking? Don¡¯t you guys usually do it with urine?¡±
Awooo¡

Hearing Husky¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of
his eyes.
Using explosion runes as markers, what a dangerous habit he picked up from who knows where.
No way, he needed to thoroughly check when he got home, he didn¡¯t want to get sted to death by his own pet and end up on the trending news one day.
The man and his two beasts moved on, with Husky using his strengths to a tee, sniffing out arge amount of resources.
Unfortunately, none of Bai Qi¡¯s three task targets appeared.
¡°This career exam is a total scam, at least give a bloody map.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the fog around him and said, ¡°Beta, find a way out ASAP. This spooky ce doesn¡¯t look like somewhere the Light Wings Bird would like to roam.¡±
The Light Wings Bird was light attribute, the mineral was lightning attribute, it
just didn¡¯t seem to fit this dreary environment. If they continued to stroll around like this, they were really going to be screwed.
Gulu gulu.
(Boss, there is someoneing.)
At that moment, Alpha suddenly issued a warning to Bai Qi. He then instantly enteredbat mode, with two short swords in his hands, one ck and one blue.
There were actually people thrown into this godforsaken ce too?
Upon seeing the figure slowly appearing through the fog, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit excited.
After all this time, he finally ran into a living person. This means they should
be close to escaping this foggy area.
Soon, the person appeared in front of Bai Qi, with a fiery red bird at his side.
[Name]: ming Beak Crane
[Race]: Fire attribute, Flying System
[Growth Level]: High-grade Elite
[Skills]: Fireball, me Peck Attack
¡°What the hell, it¡¯s a Beast Master from Gusu City, I thought I found an Ice
Dead Butterfly.¡±
The stranger also noticed Bai Qi, but he couldn¡¯t help butin when he
saw Alpha beside him.
An examinee from Lingxi City¡¯s Tainxuan High School?
Bai Qi nced at the emblem on the man¡¯s clothes and decided not to converse with him. He was just going to leave.
The tasks in the career exam differed for almost everyone, so there was no directpetition for resources like in the previous survival test. Naturally, Bai Qi was reluctant to fight.
-Hey, isn¡¯t it kind of rude to just leave without saying a word?¡±
Observing how Bai Qi had disregarded him, Li Lei got upset. He blocked Bai Qi¡¯s path and said, ¡°Are all people from Gusu City as arrogant as you?
¡°Hello, goodbye.¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat speechless, and he responded casually. But Li Lei obviously had no intention of letting Bai Qi go. After ncing at Alpha a few times, he recognized Bai Qi¡¯s identity.
¡°So, you¡¯re Bai Qi? The Ice Shadow Swordsman with an energy value of 13,000,
you don¡¯t seem that impressive.¡±
¡°Hehe¡¡±
Bai Qi took a look at Li Lei, who wore a prideful look, and mentallybeled him under the category of ¡®edgy teenager.¡¯
This type of character would definitely be a young master from arge family who¡¯s just there to hand out experience points for the protagonist in an adventure novel. Unfortunately, he arrived on the scene a bitte.
Perhaps sensing Bai Qi¡¯s disdainful look, Li Lei was immediately provoked. Heunched an unprovoked attack on Bai Qi without warning.
¡°ming Beak Crane, me Peck Attack!¡±
Squawk!
The ming Beak Crane received themand and its long beak was immediately wrapped in mes,unching a swift peck attack at Alpha.
ng ng ng!
However, Alpha¡¯s reaction speed was obviously faster. As the ming Beak
Crane executed its skill, the bones in Alpha¡¯s arm twisted and spun rapidly to form a bone shield bathed in frost. It easily blocked the ming Beak Crane¡¯s offensive.
¡°What was that skill?!¡±
Seeing that Alpha had blocked the ming Beak Crane¡¯s surprise attack so easily, Li Lei was a bit surprised. But considering Bai Qi¡¯s astonishing energy value, he soon came to his senses.
¡°You¡¯re pretty good. But being good alone isn¡¯t going to cut it!¡±
Li Lei scoffed coldly and the ming Beak Crane immediately flew into the sky,unching a barrage of fireballs at Alpha.
Li Lei¡¯s ming Beak Crane was abination of the Flying and Fire systems. Being capable of long-range attacks and having no flying capabilities as well as being an ice attribute, Alpha was in a big disadvantage.
This boosted Li Lei¡¯s confidence in his ability to beat Bai Qi.
Seeing how the ming Beak Crane seemed to have an advantageous position over Alpha, Bai Qi¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile. He said, ¡°Alpha, let¡¯s test out the runes.¡±
Gulu gulu.
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded, infusing his two short swords with ice and shadow Energy Values He dodged the fireball attacks from the memouth Crane while using the surrounding trees as stepping stones to swiftly close in on his opponent.
Child, you¡¯re still too naive to have an air battle in the forest.
Just as expected, upon seeing Alpha approaching the memouth Crane in such a manner, Li Lei reacted and immediatelymanded his crane to increase its distance from Alpha.
However, they were, after all, in a forest. The memouth Crane could not fully utilize its flying advantage, while Alpha hopped back and forth between trees, gradually closing in on the crane.
At that moment, they appeared in a clear open space within the dense forest. The memouth Crane instantly seized the chance to fly higher, barely avoiding Alpha¡¯s dual sword attack.
¡°Now it begins ¨C my rhythm!¡±
Watching Alpha begin to fall due to theck of trees to leap from, Li Lei quietly sighed with relief, then ordered the memouth Crane to speed up its attack. ¡°Does being able to fly mean you¡¯re remarkable?
Upon seeing Li Lei¡¯s self-confident demeanor, Bai Qi smirked. Alpha threw his swords, and they whistled as they soared towards the airborne memouth Crane.
Steel Rune: Maism.
This attack by Alpha clearly caught Li Lei and the memouth Crane off guard, and both were pierced by the swords.
Screech!
With a shriek, the memouth Crane stiffened its wings and plummeted, then started to attack blindly in terror, neglecting to exclude its Beast Master from its barrage.
Ice Rune: Solidification.
Shadow Rune: Blinding.
¡°These runes really work. They just consume a bit too much energy. But we have plenty, we can afford it!¡¯
Seeing the three chosen runes work sessfully, Bai Qi nodded approvingly. Li Lei, standing nearby, also realized something was wrong and forcibly retracted the memouth Crane back into the Beast Control Space.
¡°I lost.¡±
At first, he thought he could defeat Bai Qi and strike a blow at the prestige of Gusu City, but instead, he was the one who became aughing stock.
¡°Uh¡¡±
¡°Rx, I know the rules.¡±
Li Lei took out two Tranquilizing Grass from his bosom and said, ¡°Here are two Tranquilizing Grass aspensation for my defeat in the battle. Goodbye.¡± Without waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s reply, Li Lei started to head deeper into the dense forest.
¡°But¡¡±
Li Lei paused, then took out two Blue Stones from his bosom and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any more, so don¡¯t be too greedy!¡±
¡°However¡¡±
This time Li Lei didn¡¯t take out anything else, but quickened his pace, disappearing into the dense woods without looking back.
¡°Don¡¯t be smug. You¡¯ll surely lose once you encounter Zhang Kai and his gang!¡± I only asked for directions. Was there any need to be so agitated, and what are these for, a road toll?
Are all Beast Masters in Lingxi City this straightforward¡ ?
Bai Qi ran his tongue over his teeth and just as he was about to continue exploring the way, he suddenly heard the sound of explosionsing from deep within the forest.
¡°What is¡¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, then turned to look at Beta in shock and asked, ¡°When did you set up mines again?¡±
Ahow?
(Did I? Maybe I just forgot?)
The Husky guiltily turned its head aside. Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s countenance turning darker, it finally confessed.
Woof Woof Woof!
(They don¡¯t cause harm! At most, one might fall and eat¡ Wait, I mean, eat shit?)
Resigned to silence, Bai Qi picked up the resources left behind by Li Lei and examined them.
Tranquilizing Grass, a necessity for tranquilizing potions.
Water Wave Mineral, food for Water Attribute Beasts.
Both items were popr and could fetch a good price on the market. No wonder Li Lei was so upset ¨C it was indeed as if a piece of flesh had been cut of from him.
However, due to this, Bai Qi increasingly felt like a road bandit.
Sigh! I am essentially good-natured, yet there are always people leading me down the path of corruption..

¡°Phew ¨C finally got out of that hell hole.¡±
Not long after his fight with Li Lei, Bai Qi had found the exit and was once again basking under the sun.
¡°It¡¯s past three o¡¯clock now. Let¡¯s find the Light Wings Bird first before it gets too dark.¡±
The Light Wings Bird preferred to stay in sunlight and hardly ventured out after dark, making them the first target for Bai Qi.
Rattle rattle.
(Boss, there¡¯s a scent I despise over there.)
Just then, Alpha pointed towards the left.
¡°A scent you despise? Sound¡¯s fascinating!¡±
Bai Qi pped his hands upon hearing it and let Alpha lead the way. However, he noticed that the Husky, who usually raced to the front, was inexplicably standing still.
¡°Better hurry up, or you¡¯ll be stripped bare if you fail.¡±
Whoo?
(Where¡¯s your humanity?)
The Husky gave Bai Qi a resentful nce with an expression of helplessness, trailing behind him.
Crackle crackle.
¡°Oh, a thunderstone mine¡ No wonder this guy didn¡¯t want toe.¡±
Seeing the glistening stone not far off emanating electric sparks, Bai Qi understood why the Husky was reluctant.
The pup had been zapped since childhood. Although it had developed current resistance, it still held a psychological fear.
¡°How about a chance for revenge? Blow those thunderstones up?¡±
Woof woof!
(Let this puppy blow stuff up!)
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, the normally lethargic Husky instantly sprang to life. Its four turret-like guns were quickly unfolded, and it began a mad barrage on the thunderstone. Its face even twisted with excitement.
Such grudges!
Watching as the thunderstones gradually fell under the Husky¡¯s bombardment, Bai Qi could only chuckle bitterly.
I should probably dismantle that electric paralysis device soon. It doesn¡¯t look like this guy can handle it much longer anyway.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Just then, the ground beneath Bai Qi¡¯s feet suddenly cracked open. The source of the fissure was none other than the thunderstone mine that the Husky was bombarding.
I¡¯ll amped up the intensity of the paralyzing device tenfold when we get back¡
Looking at the massive pit that had suddenly appeared beneath his feet, Bai Qi silently plotted the Husky¡¯s uing modifications.
Luckily, Alpha reacted swiftly. It scooped up Bai Qi the moment he started falling and managed to avoid the dramatic scene of a Beast Master falling to death.
¡°Alpha, you¡¯re the most reliable.¡±
Bai Qi pped Alpha¡¯s shoulder, growing more pleased with his first pet beast.
Few words but a formidable force, diligent and hard-working.
This makes it a qualified pet for the new era.
As for that dumb dog¡
ncing at the Husky, who had managed to avoid the pit even before him, Bai Qi could feel a twitch at the corner of his eye.
He felt like he would eventually end up dead because of this dumb creature.
Maybe when he got back, he should see if he could use the Evolution Egg to acquire a couple of abilities like invulnerability or immortality to withstand it.
Woof woof woof!
(There¡¯s a big guy over there.)
Just then, the Husky burst out barking at the deep pit underfoot and Alpha also switched to alert mode, blocking Bai Qi behind him.
Soon, apanied by the sound of stone friction, a giant Steel Scaled Snake emerged from the big pit and appeared in front of Bai Qi.
[Name]: Steel Scaled Snake
[Race]: Steel Apartment
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Skills]: Steel Tail Whip, Dash, Earthquake Wave, Harden
Just delivered itself right onto my doorstep?
Looking at the Steel Scaled Snake in front of him, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shone brightly. He directed Alpha, ¡°Alpha, coil him!¡±
Alpha, receiving themand, immediately switched to a broad-de Ice Sword and attacked the Steel Scaled Snake.
Roar!
The Steel Scaled Snake, awoken from its sleep and seeing such a small creature as Alpha daring to attack, it went directly into a violent state. Its body shimmered with a metallic light and it was hardening instantly. Its tail whipped towards Alpha.
Alpha, seeing this, didn¡¯t intend to resist directly. He jumped over the Steel Scaled Snake¡¯s tail whip and shed heavily against the giant snake.
Bang!
The Ice Swordnded on the Steel Scaled Snake, creating a deep mark, but Alpha¡¯s Ice Sword also shattered.
Alpha had also added a solidification rune to this Ice Sword. Unexpectedly, it couldn¡¯t withstand a head-on collision.
Only hardness, no toughness, how is this any different from those kitchen knives in my previous life that couldn¡¯t withstand the slightest impact?!
¡°No wonder the Skeletal Type isn¡¯t suitable for these fancy things.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi shook his head. He issued a newmand to Alpha, who immediately discarded the Ice Sword in his hand. The bones in his arms twisted and entwined rapidly, transforming directly into two giant Bone des.
Roar!
The Steel Scaled Snake, awakened from its sleep and injured by the Ice Sword, immediately turned its head to bite Alpha. But this time, Alpha didn¡¯t dodge. The power of the Shadow Department adhered to the Bone des, and he attacked the Steel Scaled Snake with a series of frenzied shes.
Unable to resist the corroding power of the Shadow Department, the metallic scales of the Steel Scaled Snake began to melt away. The snake abandoned its attack, quickly creating distance from Alpha.
The Steel Scaled Snake smacked the ground heavily with its giant tail. Invisible ripples swept across the ground towards Alpha. Alpha immediately jumped up to dodge, but the Steel Scaled Snake quickly retreated into its previous pit.
¡°Damn, my prey is getting away!¡±
While Bai Qi dodged the earthquake wave, he directed Alpha to intercept the Steel Scaled Snake.
This Steel Scaled Snake lived underground all year round. If it escaped back underground, it would be difficult to find it again.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just at that moment, a series of explosions sounded from the pit. The half-buried Steel Scaled Snake suddenly stopped moving, freezing in ce. What¡¯s happening?
Bai Qi looked a little confused. As soon as he saw Husky with a smug smile on its face, he understood what had happened.
Woof, woof!
(I¡¯m truly a genius!)
¡°Alpha enjoys backstabbing, and you like nting bombs. Can¡¯t you guys use some directbat tactics?¡±
Bai Qi, looking at the Husky wagging its tail in front of him and seeking praise, couldn¡¯t help but smile.
It seems I need to strengthen my pets¡¯ concept of education. Always exploiting weaknesses could easily damage my reputation as a Beast Master.
Although it fits right into the title of the Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf.
Bai Qimanded Alpha and Husky to pull the Steel Scaled Snake out together. A beam of light from above immediately scanned the Steel Scaled Snake and then it disappeared right on the spot.
Professional assessment was different from previous experiences as there were no security personnel in the examination area. The monitoring of all student statuses and even task statistics was handled by the huge mechanical lifeform over their heads ¨C the Snare.
As the name suggests, the Snare monitored everyone on Danggu Mountain. As soon as the students finished the tasks, the Snare would automatically scan and confirm, then take away the captured ferocious beasts.
Although all the resources belonged to the students, they couldn¡¯t possibly be expected to carry around a giant Steel Scaled Snake..

Seeing such a massive pet beast getting caught so easily by the Snare, Bai Qi felt somewhat envious, w
Space Transmission Technique, a seven-stage mechanical technology.
¡°If I could master this technology, it would make our future operations much easier.¡±
Bai Qi watched the slowly disappearing light overhead with some envy, other ns beginning to form unconsciously in his mind.
Maybe he could find an opportunity to make a trade with Yi Yuter?
Although he didn¡¯t have anything valuable to offer at the moment.
¡°But at least this task is finallypleted.¡±
ording to the professional assessment regtions, passing the practical assessment required thepletion of two tasks. If some weren¡¯tpleted, the resources obtained during the assessment could be converted into points, which were used for admissions based on rank.
As for how many were admitted, that was up to the two main examiners¡¯ moods.
Bai Qi nced at the time, It was 3:10 in the afternoon, there was still a considerable time until the end of the test, enough for him to stay and collect resources for a while.
¡°Beta, maximize your perception. Whatever you can evolve into, it depends on this next round!¡±
Woof woof?
(Really, you¡¯re not fooling me?)
The Husky suspiciously eyed Bai Qi a few times, but in the end, it couldn¡¯t resist the allure of evolution and began sniffing vigorously on the ground.
Though it already possessed the blueprints for the first six stages of the Mechanical Engineering Department, crafting them still required a significant amount of resources. The endorsement fee from the Elf House still hadn¡¯te through, and relying solely on the 5 million dors transferred by his parents wouldn¡¯tst long.
However, thanks to a certain someone, he seemed to have found a shortcut to wealth umtion.
Monitoring room in Danggu Mountain.
Cui Ming, looking at the feedback from Snare, was so delighted that his mouth almost reached his ears.
While the first round was dominated by Gusu City, they finally turned the tide in the second and third rounds with their examinees showing great performance, leading all the way.
Especially during the third round, several students from Tainxuan High Schoolpleted their tasks in no time and started resource gathering early.
Among the first ten whopleted the tasks, only Xia Xuan managed to secure a spot in the top three.
However, the happiest for Cui Ming was the poor performance of Bai Qi, who secured first ce in the first round.
Taking more than two hours to finish the task was not slow, butpared to other prodigies, it was a bitckluster.
¡°President Qin, it appears that Gusu City needs to work more on their practical training. Such results don¡¯t live up to President Qin¡¯s reputation from your time.¡±
President Qin sighed as if regretful. ¡°What can we do? The living conditions in Gusu City are too good, resulting in those kids beingid-back.¡±
Cui Ming¡¯s face stiffened. One of the main reasons why Lingxi City is sopetitive is that they are always trying to catch up with Gusu City. President Qin¡¯s words were salt in the wound.
Upon seeing Cui Ming¡¯s difort, President Qin slightly smiled, but the smile quickly faded.
What was taking that rascal Bai Qi so long? He didn¡¯t seem this slow during the tower climbing.
¡°Ahem, anyway, as long as you remember our previous agreement, President Qin, if the total score of Lingxi City surpasses that of Gusu City, the Gemini Tower must be solely used by Lingxi City for a year.¡±
¡°Ha, I¡¯m not that old. Just make sure that you won¡¯t go back on your word and give up the Mind Spring.¡±
They eyed each other, then turned their heads, not looking at each other anymore, like quarreling children.
Just then, an examiner responsible for monitoring the contestants suddenly reported, ¡°Presidents, there¡¯s a significant energy fluctuation on Danggu Mountain. Some of the top ten students seem to be battling.¡±
¡°A battle? That must be Xia Xuan and Zhang Kai, right?¡±
Upon hearing the report, Cui Ming immediately ordered the examiner to zoom in and check the situation.
Just as expected, one of the battling participants was indeed Lingxi City¡¯s prodigy, Wang Yun, but the other one wasn¡¯t Xia Xuan; it was Bai Qi.
¡°Howe it¡¯s this guy?¡±
Cui Ming frowned, but soon rxed.
Although Bai Qi¡¯s Ice Shadow Swordsman, with its 13000 Energy Value, surprised him, it was still a High-grade Elite. Against Wang Yun¡¯s Six-eyed Monkey, a Lord Level beast, it didn¡¯t have much of an advantage.
After all, in front of the Intimidation skill, essible only to Lord Level beasts and above, Elites and Servants can barely deliver half theirbat prowess.
¡°President, Wang Yun is starting to fall behind.¡±
Cui Ming:¡±!!!¡±
Danggu Mountain.
Bai Qi led Husky around leisurely in search of various resources.
Thanks to Husky¡¯s extraordinary sense perception, Bai Qi almost never took a wrong turn, and he could always find something valuable after a while. Even though the overall quality was not high, every little bit added up.
He was not picky.
Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t encounter many Beast Masters along the way. The two he met were from Gusu City, and he reluctantly let them go after a moment¡¯s hesitation.
If nobody knew about him hitting his own people, it would be fine, but if Old Qin found out, he would surely be beaten to death.
It was better to hit the other side.
Woof woof!
(What a wonderful smell.)
Husky sniffed, then suddenly bolted, causing Bai Qi to almost be pulled off his feet.
¡°Stupid dog, are you trying to kill your own Beast Master?!¡±
Bai Qi grumbled as he stood up, brushing off the dust, and chased after Husky. As he was about to scold him, his attention was drawn to a line of white flowers in front of him.
[Name]: Angel¡¯s Flower
[Introduction]: It is said that this nt formed where drops of angel¡¯s blood fell to the earth and it can bear Angel Fruit.
Could such good things actually exist on Danggu Mountain?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shone, and he rushed over without thinking about settling scores with Husky.
If it had been in the past, the Angel¡¯s Flower might not have been of much use, since it couldn¡¯t be cultivated in ordinary ces. However, Bai Qi now had a support secret realm, which was originally designed to cultivate nt attribute beasts. It was more than suitable to nt Angel¡¯s Flower in.
If he actually managed to sessfully cultivate it, wouldn¡¯t he achieve financial freedom, eliminating the need to worry about Evolution Egg expenses in the future?
With this thought in mind, Bai Qi immediately directed Alpha and Husky to carefully relocate the Angel¡¯s Flower into the secret realm.
¡°Stop!¡±
With a scream, a streak of golden light suddenly shot from a distance. Alpha was about to defend, but the golden light bypassed Bai Qi and went straight towards something behind him.
Chirp chirp!
Bai Qi turned his head and saw a bird shing with white light emerge from the Angel¡¯s Flower bushes. It skilfully dodged the golden light¡¯s attack and took off into the sky with a p of its wings.
Was that a Light Wings Bird?
It seemed like the Light Wings Bird did like to rest on vegetation with light elements or high energy values, and the Angel¡¯s Flower was the perfect candidate.
He was so excited to find the Angel¡¯s Flower that hepletely forgot about this possibility.
How careless of him.
Seeing the Light Wings Bird that was within her grasp being scared away by Bai Qi, Wang Yun couldn¡¯t help but feel aggrieved. ¡°Bai Qi, you did that on purpose, didn¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, he said, ¡°You know me?¡±
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun clenched her fists tighter. ¡°Do you know how long I waited for the Light Wings Bird tond and rest? Now everything is ruined because of you!¡±
Uh, the contest only started three hours ago, she couldn¡¯t possibly have been waiting all this time, could she?
¡°Um, sorry?¡±
Bai Qi tried to apologize to her, but Wang Yun obviously had no interest in further conversation and turned to leave.
Just then, Husky suddenly came out from the woods nearby, throwing a tightly wrapped object in a spiderweb in front of Bai Qi, looking at him with a ttering expression.
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Human, I caught the Light Wings Bird.. How are you going to reward me?)
Chapter 81 - 80: Battle with Wang Yun

Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi picked up the bundle of spider web, tearing off a piece to confirm its identity, and couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat surprised.
¡°How on earth did that rascal capture the Light Wings Bird?!¡±
Wasn¡¯t the sess rate of a dog catching a bird close to zero?
Despite his confusion, Bai Qi was still quite pleased with Husky¡¯s performance. To pass the assessment, he only needed toplete two tasks. However, threepleted tasks would earn him more points. Although they meant little to most people, Bai Qi was on a mission.
Given Bai Qi¡¯s understanding of Old Qin, if he didn¡¯t present satisfactory results, Old Qin might actually consider recing him.
Therefore, the more points, the better.
¡°Bai Qi, I challenge you!¡±
Just as Bai Qi was waiting for Snare to take away the Light Wings Bird, Wang Yun suddenly challenged him.
¡°Is there a buy-in¡ cough, wager involved?¡±
Even though Bai Qi preferred to finish transnting all the Angel¡¯s Flowers, resources that were delivered to his doorstep shouldn¡¯t be refused, right?
¡°Hmph! You¡¯ll have to prove yourself by defeating me first!¡±
Wang Yun¡¯s face was cold. She waved her hand, and the golden glow shot back tond beside her. It was the Six-eyed Monkey.
¡°Alright then, let¡¯s make this quick.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, agreeing to Wang Yun¡¯s duel invitation.
No sooner had he agreed than the Six-eyed Monkey leapt off Wang Yun¡¯s shoulder, its paws lunging towards Alpha. Such was the speed of the attack that even Alpha almost failed to dodge it.
As expected, there was a distinct difference between Elites and Lords, even with just one level between them.
Watching Alpha being forced to dodge the relentless attacks of the Six-eyed Monkey, Bai Qi grew more eager about moving up to Lord Level.
Actually, a few days ago, Bai Qi felt that Alpha was close to making a breakthrough, but he had deliberately held it back.
Based on past experiences, if Alpha advanced to Lord Level, it would trigger a race evolution. But to maximize the benefits, Bai Qi decided to wait until the Mythical Material from the Thirteenth Bureau arrived.
The Evolution Eggbined with Mythical Materials would surely result in a powerful race¡¯s evolution!
However, the immediate task was to deal with his current adversary.
¡°Alpha, Skeleton Maniption.¡±
Ka-cha Ka-cha!
The fire in Alpha¡¯s eyes shed. Its arms transformed into Bone des, Ice Armor instantly covering its entire body. Itunched a counterattack against the Six-eyed Monkey.
¡°Heh, a skeleton-type beast trying to match my Six-eyed Monkey in speed¡ how conceited!¡±
A mocking expression crossed Wang Yun¡¯s face. A double beam of fire suddenly lit up in the top pair of eyes of the Six-eyed Monkey. To it, Alpha¡¯s swift offensive seemed to have slowed down, and it easily evaded Alpha¡¯s sh.
¡°Is that¡ a vision-enhancing skill?¡±
Bai Qi instantly recognized the skill used by the Six-eyed Monkey.
Understanding dawned on Alpha, and it swayed, stretching out two more pairs of arms, each one wielding a Bone de, all attacking the Six-eyed Monkey conjointly.
¡°Useless. With the fiery eyes of my Six-eyed Monkey, such attacks are ineffective.¡±
Wang Yun was very confident. The Six-eyed Monkey was naturally swift. Coupled with its powerful Spirit Power and fiery eyes skill, Alpha¡¯s attacks didn¡¯t stand a chance of hitting it.
Even with the addition of Ice Attribute, the Ice Shadow Swordsman was still ssified under the Skeleton race. And among the Skeleton race, few Elites could match the speed of the Six-eyed Monkey.
¡°Enough ying around. Monkey, end the battle.¡±
Seeing that Bai Qi had no more tricks up his sleeve, Wang Yun was somewhat disappointed. She gave an order to the Six-eyed Monkey. All six eyes of the Six-eyed Monkey lit up at the same time. Alpha instantly felt an intangible force controlling it. Its movements faltered.
Super Energy Attribute skill, Mind Control!
¡°The Light Wings Bird is mine!¡±
Chirp chirp chirp!
Just then, the Six-eyed Monkey screamed in pain, and was sent flying. Although it altered its course in time, it still looked a bit awkward.
¡°Sixsi!¡±
Seeing the two short knives that quickly flew back to Alpha¡¯s hand after injuring the Six-eyed Monkey, Wang Yun was shocked.
Isn¡¯t his pet beast supposed to be an Ice Shadow Swordsman? Why does it have this kind of skill?
Wang Yun checked on the Six-eyed Monkey¡¯s condition, and then red angrily at Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Sixsi, use Intimidation! Super Energy Ray!¡±
The Six-eyed Monkey stood up and screeched at Alpha, a wave of invisible power immediately rushed towards Alpha.
At the same time, the Six-eyed Monkey¡¯s six eyes suddenly became hazy, slowly separated from its body, and flew into the air while also growingrger andrger.
In its pupils, energy slowly began to gather.
Super Energy Ray, although it¡¯s just a regr skill of Super Energy Apartment pet beasts, when used by the Six-eyed Monkey, it can multi-strike with the help of illusion projections formed by its eyes, making it much stronger than ordinary high-level skills.
Even if the Ice Skeleton was quick, it couldn¡¯t avoid this skill.
¡°I originally didn¡¯t mean to hurt your pet beast, but since you struck first, don¡¯t me me!¡±
Bai Qi remained silent. Actually, it was you who challenged first and struck first.
This skill of shifting me has truly reached a divine level!
Bai Qi sighed, snapped his fingers, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t me you, because the contest is over.¡±
Hearing this, Wang Yun was somewhat puzzled. Alpha had fallen into Six-eyed Monkey¡¯s illusion projection and couldn¡¯t escape due to the Intimidation skill. Plup plup plup!
A series of noises of the earth cracking open suddenly reached Wang Yun¡¯s ears. On turning his head, Wang Yun saw that bones wrapped in Shadow Department Power were like huge closing flowers, enveloping his Six-eyed Monkey.
In an instant, the Six-eyed Monkey, which was halfway through casting its spell, was locked inside a white bone cage.
Chirp chirp chirp!
Seeing this, the Six-eyed Monkey immediately tried to escape, but countless bone spurs shot out from the bone cage, preventing it from getting anywhere near.
¡°How is this possible? How can your Elite Pet Beast not be affected by Si- -er¡¯s Intimidation skill?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, he certainly couldn¡¯t tell him Alpha had been tortured by a Legendary Pet Beast before, so this level of intimidation wasn¡¯t a big deal.
¡°Do you still want to fight?¡±
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun returned to his senses, dropped a few items, red fiercely at Bai Qi, and turned to leave.
¡°Bai Qi, I¡¯ll remember you!¡±
Well, although I am quite handsome, why remember me for no reason?
Bai Qi smacked his lips, gathering the materials Wang Yun had left behind.
Certainly, having a Lord Level pet beast, his resources were better than Li Lei¡¯s. If there were a few more, I wouldn¡¯t need to run around.
Huh?
It seems I¡¯ve stumbled upon something?
A lightbulb went off in Bai Qi¡¯s head, he suddenly thought of a more convenient method than hunting down his opponents.
Instead of finding them one by one, why not let theme to him voluntarily?

Soon, Bai Qi had moved all of the Angel¡¯s Flowers into the secret space. He only rxed when he confirmed that there was no sign of rejection from the Angel¡¯s Flower.
¡°I¡¯ll need to create a separate greenhouse for the Angel¡¯s Flowerster on. Otherwise, who knows when Beta, this stupid dog, might chew on it.¡±
Bai Qi withdrew his spirit power, then stretched out his muscles. ¡°Beta, widen the search area. We¡¯re preparing to harvest the whole field!¡± he said to Husky.
¡°Woof! Woof!¡±
(It¡¯s all wrapped up in this dog¡¯s body!)
Husky howled, and swarms of Mechanical Bees and Mechanical Spiders crawled out from his half-mechanical body. They quickly dispersed, beginning to scout out the surroundings.
[Name]: Mechanical Bee / Mechanical Spider.
[Introduction]: Mechanical creations, specifically used for scouting out the surrounding situation.
With his surveying machines and his own perception skills, Husky¡¯s range of perception expanded several times over.
Calming Fruit?
Gather it all up!
Moonlight Stone?
Dig them all up!
Exotic Fruit tree?
Uh, I could not bring all of that.
Midway up the Danggu Mountain.
Several examinees stared at the forest in front of them, cut through like the passing path of the Insect Race, a bewildered look in their eyes.
Where are all the resources that were supposed to be everywhere?
Why does this seem worse than the small mound behind my house?
¡°I took the exam on Danggu Mountainst year. There should be a cluster of Tranquilizing Grass here. How is it all gone now?¡±
¡°Who isn¡¯t in the same boat? I¡¯ve just passed by the Exotic Fruit forest ¨C some bastard harvested all the fruits in there, not even a single one was left for me.¡± ¡°The two of you are lucky. You¡¯re just failing toplete your tasks. Look at me. I was blown away by some bastard¡¯s leftover bombs. I feel like I¡¯ve fallen into shit.¡±
¡°Uh, dude, that smell on you. You didn¡¯t really end up eating it, did you?¡±
¡°¡You know too much.¡±
The group chatted. Suddenly, they felt people approaching from behind and immediately became alert.
¡°Who is it!¡±
They were all examinees from Lingxi City, skilled in wilderness survival. Their alertness was high.
Seeing the three inbat-ready stance, Bai Qi quickly waved his hands and said, ¡°Rx, I am just here to do some trading with you.¡±
Saying that, he took out a Tranquilizing Grass and an Exotic Fruit. ¡°These should be the items you need for your task, right? Give me something of equal value, and I am willing to trade.¡±
Seeing the two items in Bai Qi¡¯s hand, the examinees¡¯ eyes brightened. They immediately took out items of the same value for the trade, but Bai Qi put away the two items.
¡°Sorry, these aren¡¯t valuable enough.¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible. These two items are both rare materials. How could they be less valuable?¡±
One of the examinees frowned, looking a bit disgruntled.
¡°I know, but since these items are mine, I get to decide the price.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head seriously, scanning the badges on their uniforms. ¡°You guys are from Lingxi City? Then the price would be five times the value.¡± ¡°Five times? Might as well just rob us!¡±
¡°Please don¡¯t vilify me. This is a legitimate trade.¡±
Bai Qi straightened his face, saying, ¡°I¡¯ve harvested all the Tranquilizing Grass and Exotic Fruit nearby. If you want toplete your tasks on time, your only choice is to buy from me.¡±
¡°So it was you causing all the trouble!¡±
The three of them red at Bai Qi, and then looked at each other, quietly surrounding him.
¡°Actually, I don¡¯t rmend you guys doing this.¡±
Seeing their movements, Bai Qi sighed, and chin-nodded toward their backs.
Two broken swords quietly hovered behind two of them. Behind the remaining person, a tall Ice Shadow Swordsman in ice armor silently watched him.
¡°Is that the Ice Shadow Swordsman? Are you Bai Qi?¡±
Looking at Alpha overwhelming protection, one of them recognized him.
¡°Hmm, you¡¯ve got the wrong person.¡±
Bai Qi waved away the notion casually, ¡°So, are we trading or not? If not, I will be on my way.¡±
The three nced at each other, seeing a sense of helplessness in their eyes. They gritted their teeth and offered up five times the resources for the trade with Bai Qi.
Although they didn¡¯t like it, it was more economical toplete the task.
Though resentful, they didn¡¯t want to lose everything over a small matter.
¡°Tsk¡Thanks for your patronage.¡±
Bai Qi received their resources with a beaming smile, having confirmed that everything was correct, he handed over the items they needed.
¡°Remember to spread the word, both to people you know and those you don¡¯t. If all goes well, all the resources around here should be with me. So, remind them to make a move ASAP.¡±
Upon hearing this, the three men¡¯s eyes twitched. They wanted to retaliate, but thinking of the undead creature that appeared silently behind them, they chose to give up.
If I can¡¯t trouble them, I can still avoid them, right?
Watching the three walk away, Bai Qi¡¯s smile grew even wider.
I quite enjoy the feeling of people disliking me but being unable to do anything about it!
Looking at the sky which had darkened, he pitched a tent that he took out from the secret space, then turned to Husky and asked, ¡°Did you hand out all the flyers?¡±
¡°Woof! Woof!¡±
(It¡¯s all taken care of!)
Husky confidently patted his chest, then pulled out arge screen directly from the secret space, plugged it into his energy source, and all the materials they had collected and their prices appeared on the screen.
¡°Exchange rate for Gusu City examinees: 1:2, Lingxi City ordinary examinees: 1:3, Tainxuan High School examinees: 1:5. Hmm, pretty reasonable.¡±
Even though Bai Qi had collected many resources and pretty much monopolized some, it was impossible to plunder the whole Danggu Mountain.
However, with the current rate of exchange, when the small amounts added up, his business would only get bigger.
He only had to take care of the sales; the resource searching would be left to these hard-working bees.
I just realized I have a knack for business!
Satisfied, Bai Qi nodded his head. Then, he crawled into his tent.
¡°Beta, you¡¯re in charge of trading tonight. Alpha, keep an eye out for any troublemakers and kick them out forcefully. Also¡ Achoo!¡±
¡°nk nk.¡±
¡°Woof! Woof!¡±
His twin pets, Alpha and Beta, confirmed they understood and quickly returned to their positions. Meanwhile, Bai Qi rubbed his nose and crawled back into his tent.
Just like I thought, the nights in the mountains are chilly. Hmmm. I should add an extra nket tonight.
¡°Bai Qi, Bai Qi!¡±
Bai Qi was woken up by shouting. He reluctantly opened his eyes and poked his head out of his tent. Han Wei and others were looking at him with strange expressions. Next to them, a group of people were orderly lining up to trade with Husky.
These were people who couldn¡¯tplete their tasks on time and couldn¡¯t defeat the ferocious beasts either, so they had no choice but to exchange resources with Bai Qi.
Even though they were reluctant, the ones who could beat Bai Qi had alreadypleted their tasks. The only ones left were them, the weaklings.
You said we should fight back?
Okay, you go first?
¡°Why are you here? You haven¡¯tpleted the tasks either?¡±
Bai Qi crawled out of the tent. ¡°Since we know each other so well, I won¡¯t charge you extra. I¡¯ll change the exchange rate to 1:1..¡±

Gao Cheng and the others looked at each other without a word, saying, ¡°We don¡¯t need it anymore since we¡¯vepleted our tasks. You should keep it to do business.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, not surprised at all.
Gao Cheng and his friends were amongst the top performers in this examination. They had more thanpleted their tasks. Thus, he primarily targeted those performing in the middle and lower ranks from the start.
¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that President Qin and others will hold you ountable?¡±
Gao Cheng anxiously nced at several examinees who had immediatelypleted their tasks with Snare after obtaining the resources, feeling somewhat worried.
Bai Qi waved his hand, saying, ¡°Why should they hold me ountable? Is there any rule written on the admission ticket precluding trading in the actualbat examination?¡±
¡°Um, no such rule.¡±
Gao Cheng shook his head, falling silent.
There wasn¡¯t much time left until the end of the examination, so there should be no problem.
¡°Attention all examinees. Due to certain reasons, the scores for this actualbat examination are void. The re-examination is tentatively scheduled for nine o¡¯clock tomorrow morning. All examinees, please wait at your current location for teleportation.¡±
¡°Attention all examinees. Due to certain reasons, the scores for this actualbat examination are void. The re-examination is tentatively scheduled for nine o¡¯clock tomorrow morning. All examinees, please wait at your current location for teleportation.¡±
¡°Attention all examinees. Due to certain reasons, the scores for this actualbat examination are void. The re-examination is tentatively scheduled for nine o¡¯clock tomorrow morning. All examinees, please wait at your current location for teleportation.¡±
At this moment, a loud announcement echoed from the sky.
All examinees on Danggu Mountain were taken aback, and those, who were trading with Husky, werepletely stunned on the spot.
Did Bai Qi mess up?
Bai Qi also realized something. Seeing the changing expressions of the examinees, he immediately packed away the Twin Pets and his tent into his Secret Realm Ring and quickly walked away.
¡°The wind is tight, time to go!¡±
The examination was invalidated. The people who had traded with him were indeed wronged.
If they stayed any longer, they were asking for trouble.
¡°This guy is still so unreliable¡¡±
Watching Bai Qi quickly disappearing into the woods, Lu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh, then noticed that the surrounding examinees were inexplicably turning their attention to them.
¡°Are you guys close with Bai Qi?¡±
¡°Yes, I just heard that Bai Qi was giving them a discount.¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes¡¡±
Seeing the hostile gazes of a group of people, Lu Yuan quickly understood and directly summoned the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to mount on.
¡°Quickly go! We have been set up by Bai Qi!¡±
Han Wei and Gao Cheng exchanged a nce, immediately summoned the Wind Demon Wolf to mount on, and instantly disappeared on the spot. Lu Yuan, who was the first to react, was still dumbfounded in his ce.
¡°Incredibles, you are so disloyal!¡±
Lu Yuan yelled and chased after them in a hurry, but he hadn¡¯t run far when he was targeted by a light beam and was directly teleported out of Danggu Mountain.
In no time, the bustling Danggu Mountain became deserted.
Main cabin of Snare.
Looking at the rapidly changing environment around him, Bai Qi knew he had been forcibly teleported by Snare and breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost thought he was going to die under those guys¡¯ hands. He wondered if Gao Cheng and the others had managed to escape.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯ve done quite well this time.¡±
Just as Bai Qi was about to catch his breath, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Bai Qi instantly felt a jolt of fear and turned his head stiffly. Seeing President Qin¡¯s amiable smile, he immediately bowed at ny degrees without any hesitation.
¡°President, I was wrong!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi admitting his guilt so quickly, President Qin couldn¡¯t help but grin. He turned to Cui Ming and said, ¡°You should talk. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help but beat him if I speak.¡±
Cui Ming rolled his eyes at the mention of this, but still stepped forward, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, because of some of your actions, the number of people who passed the examination this time far exceeded our expected number. Moreover, your actions have had a very negative impact on the examination. So after consulting with President Qin, we have decided to hold another actualbat examination.¡±
At this point, Cui Ming¡¯s expression became somewhat strange, saying, ¡°We have reported your previous behavior to the headquarters. The headquarters have decided to add ¡®no trading between each other¡¯ to the professional examination regtions.¡±
¡°So, congrattions on bing the first candidate who changed the professional examination regtions single-handedly.¡±
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly at these words. He¡¯d rather not have this kind of honor.
¡°Also, because your behavior has had adverse effects, the association has decided to take back the resources you obtained inside.¡±
They wanted to take it back? What about the rule that resources belonged to the examinees?!
Bai Qi tightly held the Secret Realm Ring while casting a pleading look at President Qin.
¡°Cough, cough. Let¡¯s do this. The resources you found yourself can be disregarded, but hand over all the resources obtained from other people¡¯s trades.¡±
President Qin proposed apromise. After a short pause, Cui Ming also agreed to this method.
What could Bai Qi do if he disagreed?
¡°Alright, let¡¯s put this issue to rest for now. We have another matter to discuss.¡±
President Qin stroked his beard and looked at Cui Ming, saying, ¡°To avoid the repetition of the just happened incident, I suggest that Bai Qi not participate in the new round of actualbat examination.¡±
What the heck, Old Qin, you are messing with me!
Bai Qi¡¯s face changed at these words, and he was about to argue with President Qin. However, after hearing the next sentence from President Qin, he was immediately overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
¡°Let him be the first.¡±
Cui Ming frowned, saying, ¡°The professional examination has never had such a precedent. This is too unfair to others.¡±
President Qin chuckled and said to Bai Qi, ¡°Fair? Alright, Bai Qi, you go back and prepare well. Remember to take care of the examinees from your city in the next round, understand?¡±
¡°Ah, no problem!¡±
Realizing what was asked of him, Bai Qi immediately pulled out a copy of the professional examination regtions to study, making Cui Ming nervous.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s decide Bai Qi as the first in the third round examination.¡±
Upon hearing Cui Ming¡¯s agreement, President Qin nodded in satisfaction and continued, ¡°That being the case, let¡¯s give the Mind Spring to Bai Qi first.¡± ¡°Impossible! Our agreement was to decide based on the overall performance!¡± Without any hesitation, Cui Ming rejected President Qin¡¯s suggestion. However, seeing President Qin¡¯s roguish smile and Bai Qi¡¯s eager expression, he reluctantly agreed again.
¡°I can give the Mind Spring now, but only to Bai Qi alone! Also, I will send someone to explore the Tower of Gratitude for one day.¡±
President Qin waved his hand and said, ¡°One day, how is that enough? Just let Bai Qi soak for a few days, and you guys explore for a few days.¡±
This time, Cui Ming stood his ground and said, ¡°No, one day at most. The Mind Spring is a treasure of Lingxi City. I can¡¯t let Bai Qi soak for so long.¡±
¡°Deal!¡±
President Qin nodded and shook hands with Cui Ming.
He didn¡¯t expect it to go so smoothly. Bai Qi¡¯s meddling turned out to be quite useful!
He decided that if something like this ever happened again, he would just shut his door and let Bai Qi handle it!

Watching President Qin and Bai Qi, big and small foxes alike, Cui Ming was toozy to stay. He left the main cabin right away.
With Bai Qi¡¯s mess, Danggu Mountain test area couldn¡¯t be used for now. He needed to arrange another venue instead.
By the way, he had to get Bai Qi into the Mind Spring.
Seeing Cui Ming leave, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Mind Spring? What the hell is that?¡±
¡°What the hell!¡±
President Qin re at Bai Qi, ¡°If Cui Ming wasn¡¯t gone, he¡¯d definitely fight you to the end.¡±
Bai Qiughed awkwardly and stayed silent, and President Qin began to exin to Bai Qi.
¡°Do you have any idea what the most famous beast type is in Lingxi City?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Lingxi City was renowned for its Super Energy creatures, which were the subject of yesterday¡¯s theoretical exam.
¡°One of the reasons Lingxi City has so many super energy creatures is the Mind Spring. Even some of the super energy people in Lingxi City were born because of it.¡±
President Qin continued, ¡°Usually Cui Ming keeps a close eye on it, he would not have taken it out to bet if he wasn¡¯t eager for our Gemini Tower.¡±
¡°Mind Spring can significantly improve the spirit power of creatures and Beast Masters. Even if your two creatures are not super energy creatures, enhancing their spirit power is also beneficial.¡±
¡°Although it¡¯s not as straightforward as energy values, once the spirit power is up, the speed at which your creatures release skills or improves proficiency can increase.¡±
Energy value is equivalent to memory storage, spirit power is like a CPU, understood!
¡°But the most important thing is, Mind Spring can rapidly improve the spirit power of Beast Masters and enhance the Beast Control Space.¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, ¡°So, seize the moment and meditate at that time, trying to maximize the effect and upgrade to the third stage earlier.¡±
¡°Even though you¡¯ve upgraded quickly,pared to those talented trainees, you¡¯re still a bit behind.¡±
¡°Mr. President, I¡¯ve only been a Beast Master for two months, aren¡¯t you expecting too much from me?¡±
Bai Qi was frustrated, he had only recently reached the second stage and now Old Qin was already thinking about stage three. He was even more ambitious than Bai Qi.
Apart from the matter of his spirit power not reaching the standard, ording to previous experience, he wouldn¡¯t be able to upgrade before reaching the full level of Evolution Egg.
Damn, he was so focused on making business during the practical test that he forgot to take the chance to upgrade his creature.
What a loss.
Thinking that he had missed the opportunity to swiftly upgrade Evolution Egg, Bai Qi felt pained.
President Qin said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve got to get the venue change sorted. You rest here, and in a while, Cui Ming will arrange for someone to take you to the Mind Spring.¡±
¡°Okay, I got it.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and after President Qin left, a Beast Master came along and led Bai Qi toward the lounge.
Along the way, the Beast Master showed great interest in Bai Qi, asionally ncing back at him with curiosity in his eyes.
¡°Uh, is there anything weird on my face?¡±
Bai Qi checked himself over, not knowing what was wrong with him.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just wanted to see what someone who can restart a professional exam looks like.¡±
¡°Hasn¡¯t this happened before?¡±
The Beast Master shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been an exam official for some years now. I¡¯ve encountered quite a few idents, but I¡¯ve never seen anything like your case.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be headlining the hot search list tomorrow!¡±
Seeing the Beast Master so interested, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
Old Qin wouldn¡¯t expose him, would he? If word got out, wouldn¡¯t all those folks he had ripped off recognize him?
Bai Qi still didn¡¯t know that his name had already been spread among all the candidates.
Of course, it wasn¡¯t a good fame he was known for.
¡°Alright, here¡¯s your lounge. Someone from Lingxi City should being to find you in a bit, don¡¯t fall asleep.¡±
The practical test hadsted from yesterday afternoon to early this morning. Many candidates had stayed up all night, and Bai Qi, being so high-profile, must not have had it easy either.
¡°Uh, I¡¯m fine.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head. He had entrusted all the trading matters to Alpha and Husky, so he had a good night¡¯s sleep.
After seeing off the Beast Master, Bai Qi went into his lounge, then directly headed into the Secret Space.
The subsequent trading was mostly not handled by him, but now that he had to sort it all out.
¡°What the hell! There¡¯s so much stuff!¡±
As soon as he entered the Secret Space, Bai Qi was startled by the massive pile of resources in front of him.
Woof woof!
(Human, you¡¯re finally here. I¡¯m exhausted.)
Husky, who was organizing these resources by type and attribute, saw Bai Qi appear and immediately startedining. Alpha, on the other hand, was quietly moving some heavier ore.
As undead creatures who knew no fatigue, Alpha would have been a model worker in the previous world.
¡°Beta, do we have material list?¡±
Husky nodded, a virtual screen immediately present all ofst night¡¯s gains on its electronic eye for Bai Qi.
¡°Well, what if I suddenly don¡¯t want to hand it over¡¡±
Thinking of having to give out such abundant resources, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel pained.
¡°Never mind, let¡¯s focus on the long-term. Let Beta dig up a few more Secret Spacester.¡±
Bai Qi sighed, ¡°Beta, filter out the items we got from trading with others, we have to give those back.¡±
Woof?!!!
(Human, are you kidding me!)
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°Can¡¯t help it. If you¡¯re not satisfied, you can fight Old Qin. If you win, they¡¯re yours.¡±
Hearing this, Husky immediately wilted, its puppy eyes filled with tears looking at the piles of resources reluctantly.
Seeing Husky like this, Bai Qi also felt a bit upset.
Although Husky has strong perception skills, it couldn¡¯t find stuff faster alone than many candidates together, and the item types were noticeably less diverse.
If he gave all of these away, there wouldn¡¯t be much left for him.
¡°That said, I should be able to hand over other things of equal value.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twirled around, and he instantly had an idea. Right after hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Husky immediately understood.
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Human, you¡¯re almost half as smart as me!)
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, kicked Husky aside, ¡°Hurry up and get to work. I have to upgrade both of youter.¡±
He was originally interested in searching for some spiritual materials to reinforce Husky¡¯s spirit power and enhance its perception skills,
but he didn¡¯t expect someone had already sent the opportunity to him without him needing to do much..

Thump! Thump! Thump!
As soon as Bai Qi returned to his resting area from the secret realm, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, a stranger, a Beast Master, came in. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m an examiner from Lingxi City. I¡¯m here to take you to the Mind Spring,¡± the stranger said.
Bai Qi asked, ¡°Are we going now? Is the Mind Spring on Danggu Mountain?¡± Wang Lingughed and shook his head. ¡°Of course not. The Mind Spring is a sacred ce in Lingxi City that we keep hidden very well, unless there are some young natural talents that need it.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head in understanding. It would make sense for it to be hidden, ording to Old Qin¡¯s words, if it weren¡¯t for the temptation of the Gemini Tower, Cui Ming wouldn¡¯t take it out.
¡°Then, let¡¯s get going.¡±
Wang Ling agreed, took Bai Qi aboard a small airship, and set a course for Lingxi City.
Little Ling Mountain.
The sacred ce of Beast Masters with super energy in Lingxi City.
Bai Qi looked at the religious buildings outside the window and wondered, ¡°Is the Mind Spring here?¡±
Wang Ling gave a faint smile, tacitly epting Bai Qi¡¯s assumption. As a cradle for Beast Masters with super energy in Lingxi City, Little Ling Mountain had cultivated countless masters. A reason for its effectiveness was the existence of the Mind Spring.
Moreover, because it was located here, there was no worry of pollution or attack by ferocious beasts.
¡°You shoulde with me first; we¡¯re yet to finish some formalities,¡± Wang Ling said.
Wang Ling led Bai Qi into a temple of simple design, where a middle-aged man dressed like a monk in the old days came over with a ss box.
¡°ording to the rules, you are not allowed to take any storage items into the Mind Spring. Please put your Secret Realm Ring here.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, we have a specialist who will take good care of it. It won¡¯t be lost.¡± Upon hearing Wang Ling¡¯s words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but purse his lips. How could they suspect such a new-age decent youngster like him? That¡¯s utterly outrageous!
Bai Qi unwillingly handed over his Secret Realm Ring after taking a look at the bunch of ice buckets he had prepared in the secret realm.
Wang Ling carefully put the Secret Realm Ring into the ss box and confirmed to Bai Qi, ¡°Master Gu Lin will guide you to the Mind Spring next. You have 24 hours, so please don¡¯t waste them.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Now that he couldn¡¯t carry extra items, he naturally had to make the most out of this free buffet.
¡°Please follow me.¡±
With a smile on his face, Gu Lin beckoned Bai Qi to follow him to the back hall. As they passed through the entrance, Bai Qi instantly felt dizzy as if in a vertigo. The small inner hall had turned into a pond full of lotuses.
With such a sensation, was this also a secret realm?
Bai Qi gazed at the unique surroundings and started to specte.
Gu Lin did not dy, he led Bai Qi further in, ending up in front of a stone pond resembling a lotus.
¡°This is the Mind Spring. You can stay here for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the secret realm will automatically teleport you out.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and asked, ¡°Thank you. But are there any methods of use or taboos concerning the Mind Spring?¡±
Gu Lin shook his head and exined, ¡°Nothing really, but most people would have their pets soak in it.¡±
Bai Qi remained silent for a moment. He was actually nning to take a sip himself, even without a container. But now, he decided not to.
Old Qin did say that Beast Masters could also soak in the spring. He wondered how many people had soaked in it over the years. He had no interest in drinking foot bath water from other people.
¡°You can actually drink it if you¡¯d like. The Mind Spring can get exhausted. The water here has just been refreshed recently, and nobody else had used it.¡± How did he know what I was thinking?
Bai Qi was taken aback. He looked at Gu Lin with disbelief.
Gu Lin apologized with an obligated grin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m a super-energy talent My power gets amplified here and I inadvertently heard your thoughts. I won¡¯t be able to do it outside.¡±
¡°That¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not like it was something important,¡± Bai Qi said, nodding However, there was still a sense of alertness on his face.
These super-energy talents were really overpowered. If they became celebrity paparazzi, no amount of information could be hidden from them.
¡°I should probably leave now. I won¡¯t bother you further.¡±
Realizing that Bai Qi was being alert, Gu Lin left without caring much. He quietly retreated the way he came, and only then did Bai Qi summon his twin pets and start studying the Mind Spring.
¡°Since everyone else soaks in it, maybe I should too.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Alpha. ¡°Alpha, you go in first and give it a try.¡±
As an Undead creature, Alpha had a high demand for spirit power. Its reaction would be the most direct.
The moment Alpha entered the Mind Spring, the two fires of the soul in its eye sockets began to burn violently. mes could be faintly seen from the skeleton beneath the ice armor.
Apparently, Alpha also sensed something. It turned off the ice armor, letting its entire body soak in the spring.
Feeling thefort inside Alpha¡¯s soul, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to let Husky join him, a figure shed past Bai Qi and jumped into the Mind Spring.
Ssh!
A huge ssh erupted. The precious Mind Spring of Lingxi City was sshed all around. Unsurprisingly, Bai Qi was drenched.
¡°Beta, lick this whole ce dry for me, or I¡¯ll send you out and have them cook you red-braised.¡±
Looking at the water level of the Mind Spring rapidly decreasing, Bai Qi had a slight twitch in the corner of his eye. He lifted Beta out of the spring and went in himself.
Just as President Qin said, the Mind Spring did help Beast Masters too. As soon as Bai Qi made contact with the spring, he felt a boost in his spirit; even the Bronze Light on the crystal wall of the Beast Control Space seemed a little brighter.
Indeed, a good ce. I need to make good use of it and meditate!¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shone, and he immediately closed them and began to meditate. On
the other hand, Husky reluctantly began to clean up the water outside.
Woof woof¡
(The tragic life of Wang needs to be redeemed¡)
Luckily, Husky quickly realized the benefits of the Mind Spring. After drinking
only a few mouthfuls, he felt rejuvenated and invigorated.
Once Husky finishedpping up the spring water outside, he could even clearly feel every tissue in his body, and even the control over his mechanical arm improved markedly.
It felt as if his brain was being managed by his spirit power.
Woof!
(If I drank all of this, would I be smarter than a Beast Master?)
Imagining himself directing and guiding Bai Qi in the future, Husky¡¯s eyes began to gleam, and he pounced toward the Mind Spring enthusiastically.
¡°Based on the data, the Mind Spring only purpose is to strengthen our spirit power intensity and speed of thought. It cannot increase our IQ so please give up your unrealistic ideas.¡±
Woof?!
(Who, who¡¯s speaking in my mind!)
With the fur of Husky standing on its own, his eyes rolled back and he fainted,nding in the Mind Spring.
(Humans, this ce is haunted¡.)

Little Ling Mountain.
Mind Spring.
Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dazzling bronze light reflecting from the crystal wall of the Beast Control Space, nodding with satisfaction.
No wonder Lingxi City treated Mind Spring as a treasured resource. He had just soaked in it for a moment, and it felt as effective as many days of meditation.
However, Bai Qi discovered that the strengthening effects of Mind Spring had hit a temporary bottleneck for him, no further absorption had any effect.
In the novels of his past life, didn¡¯t they all say that when the protagonist went to some magical ce to practice, they would allow the Golden Finger to absorb energetically and directly drain the ce dry, why was it so lofty with him?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the still motionless Evolution Egg in the center of the Beast Control Space, feeling somewhat helpless.
He had initially thought about letting the Evolution Egg absorb if he couldn¡¯t take the energy away. Now, it seemed that he shouldn¡¯t think too much about it and could only hope that Alpha and Beta would upgrade more.
Speaking of which, he wondered how these two were soaking.
Bai Qi nced around, Alpha was still immersed in Mind Spring, apparently not facing the same bottleneck as Bai Qi, as for the Husky¡
Bai Qi looked at the Husky floating on the water, eyes closed, tongue hanging out, and suddenly panicked,
¡°Is this fellow drowned after falling asleep in the water?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s heart jumped, promptly pulling the Husky to his side. Before he could check on the Husky, he heard a faint snoring sound, immediately exasperation filled his face, and he directly tossed the silly creature into the spring.
He had been worried about this fellow, and it turned out the creature had fallen asleep.
Glub, glub, glub, glub¡
The Husky, who had been sleeping soundly, was jolted awake by Bai Qi¡¯s sudden attack and struggled desperately to escape from the spring.
Woof woof woof!
(Human, this ce is haunted, let¡¯s run!)
¡°Haunted?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s expression became strange, and he unconsciously looked towards the Husky beside him.
This dumb creature was with Alpha, a skeleton, all day, and was still scared of ghosts?
He didn¡¯t know if there were ghosts in his past life, but the ghosts in this world seemed identical to the Soul Race.
If there were really ghosts, he would let Alpha deal with it!
¡°I apologize, Beast Master, it¡¯s likely that the primary consciousness had been frightened by me, leading to some misunderstanding.¡±
What the heck, this ce does have ghosts!
A mechanical voice simultaneously appeared in both Bai Qi¡¯s and the Husky¡¯s ears. The man and dog were shocked and immediately clung to each other.
¡°Beast Master, please calm down, I am just a split consciousness from Beta. In human terms, I should be considered a sub-personality ¨C ah yes, in fact, a sub-dog personality.¡±
Sub-dog personality?
What kind of strange vocabry was this?
Bai Qi internallymented but also gradually calmed down.
¡°You said you are Beta¡¯s sub-dog personality, so does that mean Beta has developed a split-personality?¡±
Bai Qi had naturally heard of split-personality disorder, but this was the first time he heard about split-dog personality.
¡°The primary consciousness is a psychic mutant, whose soul is naturally stronger. It produced me, a split consciousness, due to the stimtion from Mind Spring.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, this exnation seemed reasonable, but the fact that an additional consciousness appeared was indeed unexpected.
¡°So, are you sharing a body with Beta now? Is there a primary or secondary difference between you?¡±
¡°Under normal circumstances, this would indeed happen. However, I migrated my consciousness to the Wis-brain voluntarily after analyzing the pros and cons, so we can coexist.¡±
The mechanical voice came yet again from the Husky¡¯s half-mechanical armor. It then manipted the mechanical arm to carry out a series of operations, and Bai Qi finally felt relieved.
Arf arf arf?
(So, you are my split consciousness? My little brother?)
Seeing Bai Qi chatting happily with the mysterious voice, the Husky gradually calmed down and tried tomunicate with its split consciousness.
The mechanical voice replied, ¡°I am the same as you, and if I want, I can also be the primary consciousness.¡±
Woof!
(What?!)
The Husky immediately recoiled in shock, poised to flee. Suddenly, a faint electric spark emerged from the half-mechanical armor, and the Husky was electrocuted unconscious in an instant.
Good gracious, so ruthless even on its own body, this split consciousness is utterly brutal!
Bai Qi watched in astonishment, then immediately ced his hand over the Husky.
[Name]: Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (psychic mutation)
[Growth Level]: First Stage Third Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Perception (Perfect), Current Resistance (Perfect), Mechanical Assembly (Mastery), st Strengthening (Mastery), st w (Proficient), Soul Whisper (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 8000
[Condition]: Evolvable
The energy values hadn¡¯t changed much, but the Perception skill had been upgraded to Perfect, and a new skill called Soul Whisper had been added.
[Skill Name]: Soul Whisper
[Skill Introduction]: Super Energy Apartment skill, which can directly transmit one¡¯s voice into others¡¯ soul.
Uh, why do I have a bad feeling about this skill?
Looking at the Husky, which had been taken over by its split consciousness in front of him, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit apprehensive. The split consciousness also sensed Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts and assured, ¡°Beast Master, you can rest assured that Soul Whisper requires psychic power, which could not be used on those stronger than us. Moreover, you can actively block the skill¡¯s effects.¡±
¡°Is it true? Then I¡¯m relieved.¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, he beat his chest, finally vaguely relieved.
If he couldn¡¯t block it, Bai Qi had serious doubts that he would end up being annoyed to death by that dumb creature in the future.
That said, the split consciousness of Husky seems quite reliable.
ording to the split consciousness, it voluntarily migrated into the Wis-brain, which seemed to be no different from the spiritual awakening of the Mechanical Beast.
So, from a certain point of view, the Husky had transformed its mechanical part into a Mechanical Beast.
Coming to Mind Spring this time was a real jackpot!
¡°However, Mind Spring has existed for so many years. Why haven¡¯t I heard of simr cases in Lingxi City? It can¡¯t just be special to you, right?¡±
The split consciousness paused for a moment, immediately projecting a virtual screen in front of Bai Qi, ¡°ording to the data, in history, Super Apartment Beast Tamers and pets of Lingxi City have some quirks, 80 percent of which could be influenced by Mind Spring.¡±
¡°As for why we encountered this situation, it may have to do with our usage.¡±
Bai Qi paused and immediately thought back to when he told the Husky to lick up the spring water that had sshed out earlier.
¡°So, is the effect better if you drink it?¡±
¡°In theory, yes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, looking uncertainly at the Mind Spring.
Continuing to soak seemed futile, so should he try drinking it?
Chapter 87 - 86: Schuck and Beta
Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Schuck and Beta
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave up on his n.
Even though drinking it himself might not cause mutations, Master Gu Lin did say it was drinkable. However, the thought of the potential risks of developing Split Personality Disorder deterred Bai Qi from doing so.
After all, with the Evolution Egg, his Spirit Power wasn¡¯t going to grow any slower than others, he didn¡¯t mind waiting a tad bit longer.
He didn¡¯t want to end upmitted to Arkham for a moment of greed.
¡°So, what should I call you both in the future? I cannot keep calling both of you Beta.¡±
The split consciousness said, ¡°A name is just a code. You can call us whatever you like, Beast Master.¡±
Hisss¡
In his past life, the phrase ¡°do whatever you want¡± was what he dreaded the most.
Bai Qi scratched his head, pondering the names for the two consciousnesses.
Dog 1? Dog 2?
No, no, their head would probably go bald faster with these names.
Jin Ha? Schuck?
He didn¡¯t know why, but he always reckoned that there might be another consciousness messing things up. It was important to value their lives, so he scratched those names off the list too.
Despite thinking for a long time, Bai Qi couldn¡¯te up with a satisfying name.
¡°Forget it, you should be called Schuck from now on, and the principal consciousness should be called Beta!¡±
Even though they were not quite the same species as the duo Bai Qi remembered, he was toozy to try anymore.
He finally understood why other Beast Masters rarely named their pets. It can be such a headache!
Schuck was silent as his intelligence paused momentarily, but he quietly epted the name.
¡°We will be leaving the Mind Spring in eight hours thirty-four minutes. With our current efficiency, it is hard to absorb all the resources from the Mind Spring. So it¡¯s best if you start making ns, Beast Master.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Even though Alpha had not appeared yet, the changes in Husky aftering in contact with the Mind Spring greatly exceeded his expectations. It would indeed be a pity if they just left without exploiting more of its benefits.
However, they did have a solution.
A day passed quickly. Master Gu Lin arrived in the Secret Space faithfully on time. He walked briskly towards the Mind Spring.
The use of the Mind Spring was governed by strict regtions. Even their Beast Masters from Little Ling Mountain had to go through several reviews to get a chance to enter.
If Cui Ming wasn¡¯t the chairperson of the Association, there was no way Bai Qi could have gotten in so easily.
Therefore, Gu Lin didn¡¯t n to let Bai Qi stay even a second longer than necessary.
However, to Gu Lin¡¯s surprise, when he reached the Mind Spring, Bai Qi was already there waiting, beside him stood his two pets.
¡°Are you done soaking already?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said,¡± I have almost reached my bottleneck. Soaking any longer would just be a waste of time.¡±
Gu Lin looked at Bai Qi with an inquisitive gaze, a strange light shing in his eyes as he tried to eavesdrop on the internal dialogue in Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
Woof woof woof! Woof woof¡
A series of howls echoing in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, Gu Lin couldn¡¯t hear any of Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts and he reluctantly backed out.
Meanwhile, Bai Qi discreetly breathed a sigh of relief, giving a thumbs-up to Husky at his side.
This Soul Whisper, unexpectedly useful!
It might not work on Gu Lin, but it could certainly work on Bai Qi!
¡°Master Gu Lin, if there¡¯s nothing else, shall we be on our way?¡±
Facing Master Gu Lin, a Super Energy Apartment expert, Bai Qi was a little nervous. Seeing that Gu Lin showed no intent of speaking up, Bai Qi quickly reminded him.
¡°Oh right, you have to participate in the next ranking Battle. You shouldn¡¯t stay here for too long.¡±
Gu Lin¡¯s gaze swept over Alpha, encased in thick Ice Armor, and Husky, with a bulging belly. Although he was a bit puzzled, he left the Secret Space with Bai Qi-
After a blink of spatial transition, Bai Qi was back in the ancient temple. Wang Ling was already waiting for him, holding a ss box containing Bai Qi¡¯s Secret Realm Ring.
¡°Bai Qi, how are you feeling?¡±
¡°Hmm, very unique.¡±
Having almost made Husky develop a split consciousness with just a soak, saying it was unique was quite an understatement.
Wang Ling nodded and said, ¡°I felt the same way the first time I soaked, but I never had the chance to do it again.¡±
¡°By the way, the Association President asked me to take you to rest nearby. After the other examinersplete the practical test, you will have to participate in a Ranking Battle. You can use this time to process what you have learned from the Mind Spring.¡±
On hearing Wang Ling mention the Ranking Battle again, Bai Qi instantly became curious. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s the Ranking Battle? Have the rules for the upational exam changed?¡±
He finally managed to clinch the upational exam, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take any sudden changes now.
¡°The vocational exam is indeed over. ording to the rules from the previous years, those who rank in the top hundred by points will receive the license.¡±
¡°However, the top twenty have to participate in another Ranking Battle. Based on their ranks, they can collect monthly subsidies from the Beast Master Association.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
Bai Qi was slightly surprised. Such a huge fuss just to collect a little extra subsidy, could he opt-out?
¡°It¡¯s not that much, only about an average of a hundred thousand. But this is a joint examination between two cities, so it might be a little more.¡±
An average of a hundred thousand? That suddenly seemed very enticing¡.
Bai Qi¡¯s interest was piqued. But after looking at his two pets beside him, he backed off and said,¡± I¡¯m kind of tired, I¡¯ll head off first.¡±
After saying that, Bai Qi put on the Secret Realm Ring and disappeared from the spot.
¡°Ah, it is indeedfortable to have your own Secret Space.¡±
Watching Bai Qi suddenly disappear, Wang Ling naturally knew that Bai Qi had entered his Secret Space. An envious look shed in his eyes.
Although he is already a Four Stage Beast Master, he does not have his own Secret Space.
If he had a Secret Realm Ring with him while venturing out, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being ambushed by Ferocious Beasts while resting. He could also carry more items than others, it would be very beneficial.
Comparing with others can be so annoying.
Secret Space.
Bai Qi appeared in the Secret Space with his twin pets. All three of their gazes were fixed on Alpha.
¡°Schuck, prepare a container right away. Alpha, get ready to defrost.¡±
¡°Received.¡±
Schuck nodded, pulled out a heap of metal tes and began to work. In no time, a rudimentary pool was formed.
Afterward, Alpha directly jumped into the pool. An opening suddenly appeared in his Ice Armor and streams of spring water flowed out from within.
Watching the Mind Spring water continually flowing out from the hollow body of Alpha, Bai Qi showed a satisfying smile.
Not allowed to bring a container? Well, they will have to create their own then.
Apart from allowing Husky to drink as much as he wanted, Bai Qi utilized Alpha¡¯s unique structure and Ice Armor to create a movable container.
He admitted that there was an element of gambling in his actions, but luckily, he had bet correctly.
The biggest credit, of course, went to Beta¡¯s Soul Whisper.
¡°I wonder if I¡¯ll be able to use it against Beast Masters during battles. If I can, wouldn¡¯t it mean that I can defeat others without a fight by annoying them?¡±
As Bai Qi stroked his mustache, he couldn¡¯t help but disy an evil smile.
A Ranking Battle, seems like a good time to give it a try-

Chapter 88: Chapter 87: The Iron Rice Bowl Turns into a Golden Rice Bowl

Little Ling Mountain.
Under Wang Ling¡¯s guidance, Bai Qi arrived at a conference room. By the time he arrived, the conference room was already filled with about ten people. These people grouped together in twos and threes, and as Bai Qi made his appearance, all eyes turned towards him.
Some were curious, but most held a sense of resentment.
Among the resentful, Wang Yun and Li Lei were of course present. ¡°Bai Qi, over here!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi emerge, Gao Cheng immediately stood and waved towards him signaling Bai Qi to join them.
¡°Congrattions, you¡¯re also first in the practical assessment.¡±
Gao Cheng gave Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder a slight pat, ¡°I tried looking for you all over Little Ling Mountain, I thought you didn¡¯t participate.¡±
¡°Ahem, I kept a low profile this time.¡±
Feeling somewhat guilty, Bai Qi fake-coughed a couple of times and averted Gao Cheng¡¯s gaze.
On the way here, Wang Ling had already informed him about the situation in the practical examination.
To avoid disputes, both Chairman had fabricated an exam result cing Bai Qi as the top student.
Doing so was absolutely against the rules, but after both Chairman reported Bai Qi¡¯s Resource Points from the previous round, no one uttered any more words.
Even if they didn¡¯t, letting this guy proceed would probably result in him getting first ce, and he might even stir up more trouble.
The examiners had no objections, but the candidates might.
While Gao Cheng and Bai Qi were chatting idly, Zhang Kai moved towards Bai Qi, extended his hand and said, ¡°Hello, I am Zhang Kai.¡±
Bai Qi took note of the two rune marks on the back of Zhang Kai¡¯s hand, shook Zhang Kai¡¯s hand and replied, ¡°Bai Qi. Is there anything you wanted to ask?¡± Zhang Kai chuckled and responded, ¡°Being first in both rounds of examination, it¡¯s normal for people to want to meet you, right?¡±
¡°I heard from Wang Yun that your beast is extremely powerful. I feel sorry that we didn¡¯t encounter each other during the practical examination, but during the next ranking battle, we¡¯re bound to cross paths. I¡¯m looking forward to your performance.¡±
Upon finishing, Zhang Kai left without waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s response, returning to the team from Lingxi City.
Did this guye to dere war?
Gao Cheng exined, ¡°Zhang Kai is a seed contestant from Lingxi City. He originally skipped the exam and was appointed a professional Beast Master, but it seems he came here to target us in Gusu City.¡±
¡®However, in the first three rounds of examination, Zhang Kai was first in the theoretical examination during the second round, but was ranked second in all others, so¡¡±
Bai Qi nodded, forming a preliminary impression of Zhang Kai.
If he¡¯s always a close second, but still smiles so brightly, he¡¯s either a schemer or a fool.
Considering the situation, he¡¯s probably a schemer.
¡°By the way, seeing how you¡¯re here, Gao Cheng, means you¡¯ve passed the professional exam, right?¡±
A trace of a smile appeared on Gao Cheng¡¯s face as he nodded, ¡°Yes, finally passed it.¡±
Bai Qi replied, ¡°About time. But since you understand the professional exam so well, why did it take you so many attempts to pass?¡±
¡°Ahem¡¡±
Gao Cheng blushed in embarrassment. Han Wei, who was nearby, chimed in, ¡°It¡¯s because this ¡®someone¡¯ always failed the theoretical part, and was therefore eliminated after the second round.¡±
Seeing Han Wei exposing his weakness in front of everyone, Gao Cheng was slightly peeved and replied, ¡°You didn¡¯t make it past the second round for years either!¡±
Han Wei pouted and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, this genius has always been irst in theory. I just felt sorry seeing you alone, so I willingly gave up the third round.¡±
¡°But if you still don¡¯t pass this year, I can¡¯t be bothered to wait for you.
Otherwise my parents will cut off my allowance.¡±
As Han Wei patted Gao Cheng¡¯s shoulder, he nced at Wang Yun who was ring at them. A teasing smile appeared on his face as he added, ¡°Man, what did you do to Wang Yun? I heard she¡¯s quite the ice beauty in Lingxi City.¡± Han Wei¡¯S voice wasn¡¯t small, and everyone in the room turned towards Bai Qi. Looking at Han Wei¡¯s mischievous grin, Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly.
No wonder he got along with Gao Cheng. With a mouth like that, the average person really couldn¡¯t bear it.
Speaking of which, President Old Qin wouldn¡¯t me him if he beat him up during the ranking match, right?
A single sentence from Han Wei suddenly made the atmosphere in the cabin be a bit strange. Fortunately, Cui Ming and President Qin showed up at this moment, immediately attracting everyone¡¯s attention.
Cui Ming¡¯s expression was obviously gloomy. The candidates from Lingxi City, such as Zhang Kai, were panicked after seeing Cui Ming¡¯s look. They all lowered their heads and didn¡¯t dare to meet Cui Ming¡¯s gaze directly.
Everyone present was an elite from Tainxuan High School. They all previously thought that this joint examination with Gusu City would undoubtedly result in aplete sweep, greatly boosting the prestige of Lingxi City.
Unexpectedly, the number of people from the two cities who entered the ranking battles were the same.
Although it was a tie, for them, it was as good as a loss already.
¡ö¡¯First of all, congrattions to all of you for passing the exams and making it into the top twenty.¡±
President Qin looked at the candidates in front of him with a joyful expression and said, ¡°However, your assessments are not over yet. Show your best in the uing ranking matches and strive for a result that satisfies you.¡±
¡°Since this year¡¯s exam is a joint one, and it¡¯s with Lingxi City, the significance
of this year¡¯s exam is particrly high.¡±
Feeling particrly happy for sessfully embarrassing Cui Ming, President Qin added, ¡°For this reason, the subsidies you can receive from the Society after this year¡¯s ranking match will be double that of previous years!¡±
Double?
Upon hearing that the subsidy would be doubled, Bai Qi suddenly perked up.
If the original monthly average was one hundred thousand, wouldn¡¯t doubling it mean it is now two hundred thousand a month?
If he could win the first ce in the ranking battle, this steady ie would instantly upgrade to a golden bowl!
Immediately, a terrifying will to fight ignited around Bai Qi, startling those nearby.
Bai Qi¡¯s actions naturally caught everyone else¡¯s attention. Xia Xuan had a disdainful look on his face, while Zhang Kai frowned slightly.
Although steady ies were tempting,pared to the rankings in the ranking battle, it was not worth mentioning.
If one could win first ce in the ranking match, the resources and opportunities one could get afterward would far exceed the value of these subsidies.
It could have been bearable if it was someone else, but Zhang Kai couldn¡¯t stand Bai Qi behaving in this way.
Was he actually defeated by such a money-grubbing person?
¡°Ahem!¡±
President Qin also noticed Bai Qi¡¯s impropriety, and lightly coughed twice to remind him to regain hisposure.
Understanding this, Bai Qi immediatelyposed himself and returned to his seat in silence. However, in his heart, he sneered at these people.
They really did not understand the cost of life, disregarding the consumption of raising two pet beasts. Just studying the affairs of mechanical blueprints was already a burden for Bai Qi. How could it work if he didn¡¯t seize this opportunity to make more money?
¡°The ranking match will begin in one hour. You can take a rest first and recover your strength.¡±
Cui Ming nced at the twenty contestants in the room and left with President Qin.
¡°Phew- Finally, there¡¯s something to eat. I¡¯m starving.¡±
Han Wei, who had been hungry all the way, finally couldn¡¯t help but speak up
¡°Lingxi City¡¯s breakfast is famous. Shall we all go together to try it out?¡±
Gao Cheng nodded and turned to Bai Qi and Lu Yuan beside him, ¡°Bai Qi, you guysing?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Lu Yuan managed to fight his way into the top twenty this time, putting him in exceptional spirits. Let alone breakfast, he could eat a whole cow right now.
¡°No need, I brought my own food.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand, took out a bottle of God¡¯s Water, and gulped it down His hunger immediately disappeared.
He¡¯s using God¡¯s Water as a meal?
Now I understand why his pet beast has an energy value of t3ooo.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s extravagant meal, the candidates from Lingxi City instantly felt enlightened, adding God¡¯s Water to their list of resources to hoard..
Chapter 89 - 88: The First Battle at Gao Cheng
Chapter 89: Chapter 88: The First Battle at Gao Cheng
Trantor: 549690339
An hour of rest passed quickly, and Gao Cheng and his friends, full from food and drink, returned to the examination site in front of Little Ling Mountain, rubbing their bellies.
President Qin and Cui Ming had already been waiting there early, but there was an old man about President Qin¡¯s age next to them.
¡°Let me introduce you. This is the referee of your ranking fight, Master Mo Guan, a Master of the Sunrise Level.¡±
Another Master of the Sunrise Level!
Hearing Mo Guan¡¯s name, the candidates immediately became solemn and looked respectfully at Mo Guan.
They had naturally heard of Mo Guan, the number one man below the Legendary level. In a way, Mo Guan¡¯s stature was even higher than that of the two association presidents.
¡°No need to be so nervous. I am just a referee today.¡±
Mo Guan waved his hand, signaling everyone to rx, and said, ¡°In order not to waste your time, let¡¯s start grouping first.¡±
Mo Guan pointed to the screen next to him, and a match list immediately appeared on the screen.
¡°First match, Bai Qi vs Gao Cheng.¡±
Seeing that he was matched up with Bai Qi right off the bat, Gao Cheng¡¯s face turned bitter.
¡°Howe I ended up with you? My luck is really too bad.¡±
The ranking battle adopted a knockout system in order to save time. If he was eliminated in the first round, there¡¯s no way his ranking would be good.
¡°Gao Cheng, let¡¯s go buy lottery tickets when we get back. You buy first, I¡¯ll buy the next number.¡±
Han Wei patted Gao Cheng¡¯s shoulder sympathetically, but his facial expression and wordspletely betrayed what he was actually thinking. ¡°Don¡¯t be smug. You might be next in the next round!¡±
Gao Cheng red at Han Wei and then climbed onto the ring with grand strides. He said, ¡°Come on, Bai Qi, I also want to see just how big the gap between us is.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll fight with all my strength.¡±
Among the top twenty, the number of people from Gusu City and Lingxi City didn¡¯t differ much, so it was normal to encounter one¡¯s own people. But Bai Qi didn¡¯t expect to run into Gao Cheng directly.
However, since Gao Cheng had already said so, Bai Qi naturally had to take it seriously.
Based on Gao Cheng¡¯s personality, if Bai Qi went easy on him and made it obvious, Gao Cheng would definitely end their friendship.
Bai Qi climbed onto the ring and, at Mo Guan¡¯s signal, summoned their respective beasts.
Gurgle gurgle?
(Master, is this the enemy?)
Because they had once taken on a task together, Alpha still had some impression of Gao Cheng¡¯s Fire Armor Scorpion.
¡°Not an enemy, so defeat him lightly. Don¡¯t hit too hard.¡±
Alpha nodded, heavy ice armor instantly covered his entire body, and his arms took the shape of bone des.
¡°Are you all ready? Then let thepetition begin.¡±
Mo Guan waved his hand, and an invisible barrier instantly sprang up around the ring, separating the two of them from the other candidates.
¡°Fire Armor Scorpion, Extreme Heat Ray.¡±
At the start of the match, Gao Cheng initiated the attack first, but he didn¡¯t rashly approach Alpha. Instead, he used the Extreme Heat Ray for ranged attack.
Thanks to the spiny tip at the end of the Fire Armor Scorpion, the Extreme Heat Ray, which was extremely fast, instantly turned the field into a bullet hailstorm, leaving no space for Alpha to dodge.
However, after soaking in Mind Spring, although Alpha didn¡¯t undergo a dramatic change like Husky did, his spirit power had skyrocketed. The Fire Armor Scorpion¡¯s concentrated attack didn¡¯t seem any different from slow motion in his eyes.
Subsequently, under Gao Cheng¡¯s surprised gaze, Alpha easily maneuvered his way through the gaps of the Extreme Heat Ray, quickly moving closer to the Fire Armor Scorpion.
¡°Fire Armor Scorpion, Extreme Heat Ray Sniping Mode!¡±
Seeing Alpha close in, Gao Cheng immediately roared. The Fire Armor Scorpion¡¯s storm-like attacks paused suddenly. Not long after, a single Extreme Heat Ray, far superior in speed and power than before, burst from the scorpion¡¯s tail, heading straight for Alpha.
This ray was extremely fast. With Alpha¡¯s current distance, there was no way he would be able to dodge in time, but Alpha indeed didn¡¯t intend to dodge. His arms crossed over each other, swiftly turning from bone des into a gigantic bone shield.
But that was not the end. In an instant, ayer of frost spread over the bone shield, swiftly solidifying into a smooth surface of ice. Stranger still, there were peculiar runes on the outeryer of the ice.
¡°It¡¯s useless. This Extreme Heat Ray has umted most of the Fire Armor Scorpion¡¯s energy. Even a second stage beast might not be able to withstand it.¡±
Seeing this, Gao Cheng immediately wanted to advise Bai Qi, but Bai Qi did not show any panic.
¡°Who said I have to block it?¡±
As soon as the words fell, the high-heat ray hit the ice surface. After a brief stalemate, it was reflected back.
Ice n Rune: Solidify, Polish
The rays immediately hit the surrounding barriers, but they caused no ripples, silently merging into the barriers.
¡°Lao Qin, did the kid just use a rune?¡±
Mo Guan immediately noticed the rune on Alpha¡¯s ice shield and asked President Qin next to him.
¡°Heh heh¡ Isn¡¯t that obvious?¡±
President Qin¡¯s face was full of indifferent smiles, but in his heart, he was confounded.
What trick is this little brat using now?
Seeing that Alpha sessfully blocked the Fire Armor Scorpion¡¯s high-heat ray, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
Ever since soaking in Elf Spring, Alpha¡¯s control of the Frozen Power had be increasingly effortless. It could even condense runes directly on the ice surface to achieve a simr effect.
However, it was only limited to the Ice n, the Shadow Department couldn¡¯t do it.
¡°Alpha, attack freely, don¡¯t give it any more chances to snipe you.¡±
Creak, creak.
(Boss, rest assured, the same move can only be used on me once.)
Alpha shook its head, its arms formed bone des again, then extended a bone spur. It swiftly etched several runes on the bone de and attacked the Fire Armor Scorpion.
Seeing this, President Qin was immediately startled.
The Federation¡¯s research on runes had never stopped, but most of the applications were for decoding the Secret Realm Tower or creating the Legendary Secret Realm Tower, or carving on tools like the Rune Puppet.
He had never seen someone like Bai Qi directly engraving on a pet beast.
Don¡¯t let this guy break his own pet beast.
Seeing Alphaing close, the Fire Armor Scorpion also gave up its n for long-distancebat. It waved its double pincers to defend and simultaneously used its tail sting to attempt a sneak attack. It began a defensive counterattack.
With Alpha sbat power, it was definitely impossible to resist head-on, so Gao Cheng could only rely on this tactic.
Moreover, the defense of the Fire Armor Scorpion wasn¡¯t low. Alpha might not be able to break through its defense.
But after only repelling Alpha¡¯s attacks a few times, the Fire Armor Scorpion inexplicably started to show chaos. Regardless of how Gao Cheng controlled it, the Fire Armor Scorpion was randomly attacking. The weak point was easily seized by Alpha, and it was directly kicked out of the arena.
¡°I lost.¡±
Gao Cheng willingly admitted defeat. He asked Bai Qi, ¡°Just now the Fire Armor Scorpion suddenly lost control, did you do it?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°I temporarily added a Dark Rune: Chaos, to Alpha¡¯s bone de. If struck multiple times, it will affect the pet¡¯s mood. But because it was temporary, the effect wasn¡¯t very good.¡±
If the effect is already like this when it¡¯s not good, what would happen if it were better?
Gao Cheng sighed, then quickly came to terms. ¡°You¡¯ve really opened my eyes today. It¡¯s just a pity I couldn¡¯t push you to use your full power.¡±
Bai Qi smiled and didn¡¯t respond.
¡°The runes you mentioned, aren¡¯t they the ones learned from the Rune Department?¡±
Bai Qi paused, ¡°More or less, but the specific application might be a bit different.¡±
¡°I suggest you study them, it will help you in the future.¡±
The Secret Realm Ring of the Gemini Tower is now in President Qin¡¯s hands, the total opening to Gusu City is inevitable. If Gao Cheng wanted to rise higher, he obviously couldn¡¯t do it without the help of runes.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll look into it.¡±
Gao Cheng nodded, then he remembered his pet beast still lying outside. He rushed over with an aching heart.
Alpha faithfully executed Bai Qi¡¯s orders, attacking with full force but without hurting the crucial parts. Even though it was just a kick, it still had Shadow Department Power. So at this moment, the Fire Armor Scorpion was not only still in chaos, but its shell was also slowly being corroded by the Shadow Department Power.
Still, it hit too hard¡

Bai Qi scratched his head somewhat embarrassingly, intending to assist Gao Cheng by taking the Fire Armor Scorpion for treatment. However, a Light Elf flew in from a distance, circled around the Fire Armor Scorpion, and the Fire Armor Scorpion immediately returned to its original state.
Due to holding the Fire Armor Scorpion, Gao Cheng was simrly affected by the dust that the Light Elf sprinkled. Both his strength and spirit returned to their peak state within an instant.
Another Light Elf?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes instantly lit up, and he looked at President Qin, saying, ¡°President, I have also overexhausted myself a bit. Could you also let the Light Elf treat me?¡±
He did not get a chance to take advantage of the Light Elfst time, this time he definitely had to make use of this opportunity well.
¡°Get lost!¡±
As if you¡¯ve exhausted yourself. Shameless!
President Qin nced at Alpha, asking, ¡°How did you think of engraving runes on pets?¡±
Bai Qi replied: ¡°I learned it from the Tower of Gratitude but I¡¯m still in the experimentation stage.¡±
President Qin was silent. Celestial Brilliance wouldn¡¯t let you mechanically modify the undead, so you switched to runes directly?
¡°Ahem¡Old Qin, if there¡¯s anything you can discuss it with meter, I still have
topete.¡±
Seeing President Qin¡¯s expression, Mo Guan immediately issued an eviction order. Knowing that it wasn¡¯t really appropriate to discuss these matters, President Qin directly transported Bai Qi to the adjoining rest room.
¡°Are all runes usable in this way?¡±
President Qin pondered for a moment, seemingly considering something. ¡°President, you really have high hopes for me. A total of 140,981 runes, do you consider me a master of the Rune Department?¡±
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eye. The amount of runes in the Rune Dictionary was simply toorge, and most of them were simply categorized without any details on their functionality.
If it wasn¡¯t for the assistance of the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube and Rune sses, Bai Qi didn¡¯t believe he could find those runes.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s strange gaze, President Qin knew that he was being overly optimistic. ¡°Then, can the runes you¡¯re using now be applied to other pets too?¡± Although Bai Qi only used two runes earlier, the effects were rather impressive.
It is fair to say that such a rune is equivalent to giving the pet an extra skill.
Moreover, from what he learned, Bai Qi seemed to have used other runes during the real battle assessment too.
If the use of runes could be poprized, the Federation¡¯s strength would certainly take a leap forward!
¡°It should work on all skeletal-type creatures. As for other types, I haven¡¯t tested them yet.¡±
Bai Qi thought for a moment, gave an honest answer, but when he thought of engraving runes on other types of pets, Bai Qi felt it was a bit strange.
If I gave the pets tattoos, wouldn¡¯t that affect them negatively¡
¡°Alright, when we get back I¡¯ll have someone send several Skeletal creatures over to you for testing. If there are any issues with the runes, I¡¯ll contact Professor Dong to assist you.¡±
Having received confirmation from Bai Qi, President Qin¡¯s eyes shone brightly as he forcefully issued orders to Bai Qi.
¡°President, are you sure you want me to undertake such high-end research, since I¡¯m merely a mechanical martial arts student?¡±
¡°So you remember that you are a mechanical martial arts student.
Bai Qi found it difficult toprehend President Qin¡¯s ideas, but President Qin didn¡¯t care, saying: ¡°All these years, I haven¡¯t seen anyone engrave runes on pets. For now, you just give it a try.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Seeing that Old Qin seemed to be set on him, Bai Qi had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
It was high time he tried some runes he dared not try on Alpha.
¡°By the way, the Thirteenth Bureau sent a message. The Mythical Material you requested got approved and should arrive in a few days.¡±
Finally, it¡¯sing?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up at the news. If it did not arrive soon, he would not hold back and would immediately have Alpha evolve. After all, keeping it waiting wasn¡¯t exactly right and it kept dying Alpha¡¯s evolution rhythm.
President Qin looked at Bai Qi, saying: ¡°I know your luck is good, but don¡¯t me me for not reminding you. In the past, there have been Beast Masters who mishandled Mythical Materials and ended up dead. So, be careful.¡±
¡°Once the material arrives, I¡¯lle and help you figure out the best way to use it. If necessary, I¡¯ll ask Celestial Brilliance. He knows more about this than I
do.¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
Bai Qi nodded confidently.
If all went ording to n, Alpha would surely drain himself again during this evolution process. Considering the effects of the mythical material, it might even be a bit more exaggerated thanst time. Therefore, for safety¡¯s sake, even if President Qin didn¡¯t mention it, he himself would have volunteered to find President Qin.
But how should he exin it then?
An undead creature bacsh? That seemed feasible too.
¡°All right, there¡¯s stillpetition going on over there. I can¡¯t be away for too long, let¡¯s head back.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, once again escorted by President Qin back to the arena.
The Little Ling Mountain Arena.
A petite roon was quietly hovering in mid-air.
On the opposite side of the roon, a somewhat fragmented Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was watching the roon warily, not daring to get any closer.
[Name]: Nocturnal Roon
[Nature]: Super Energy Type
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Skills]: Night Surprise Attack, Mind Power Orb, Intimidation
Lu Yuan¡¯s face was solemn at the moment, not daring to let the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger act rashly.
Despite the roon being small enough to be swallowed by the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger in one gulp, the roon had not allowed the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to get any closer since the start of the fight.
¡°Darn it, can I report this guy for cheating?!¡±
As he watched the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger being toyed with by the opponent,
Lu Yuan was cursing internally.
The levels of the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger and the Nocturnal Roon were close. Even the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger had mastered the Intimidation skill due to its race. With Lu Yuan¡¯s enhancement talent added, there was hardly any gap between the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger and the Nocturnal Roon.
But Zhang Kai¡¯s talent was outrageously unfair as it could forcefully disable his own talent.
For a Beast Master withbat talent, the loss of talent bonus would cause the pet¡¯sbat power to be halved.
¡°Roar!¡±
The Nocturnal Roon seemed to get a bit bored. Its initially closed eyes slowly opened. The arena, which was originally bright, was suddenly enveloped in darkness, and the roon¡¯s figure gradually disappeared from the tform.
Ghost Bone Giant Tiger immediately went into defense mode. Being an undead creature, the darkness had no effect on it.
As expected, as soon as the Nocturnal Roon appeared from the darkness, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger responded. It tried to counterattack with a w swing but missed as the Nocturnal Roon teleported behind the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger. Its originally small body suddenly swelled, and a series of punches smashed the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger into fragments.
¡°The Ghost Bone Giant Tiger has lost itsbat capabilities, Zhang Kai advances!¡±
Master Mo Guan looked at the rxed Zhang Kai and the frustrated Lu Yuan, announcing the result of the game.
Lu Yuan¡¯s enhancement talent was impressive, undoubtedly one of the most suitable talents forbat. However, it was indeed at a disadvantage against Zhang Kai¡¯s Silent Talent.
But Lu Yuan¡¯s mentality was somewhat poorer. If he had observed more carefully, he would have found that Zhang Kai¡¯s talent could not be maintained for a long time.
Still, Zhang Kai¡¯s talent was quite extraordinary.
With proper training, he would absolutely be a great talent.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Despite the easy victory, Zhang Kai showed no signs of excitement.
Lu Yuan was not weak, butpared to Bai Qi and Xia Xuan, he was still a bitcking, and Lu Yuan had never been his goal.
Seeing Zhang Kai¡¯s attitude, Lu Yuan grew even more irritated and said, ¡°I admit I¡¯m not your opponent, but you¡¯re still far from being able to beat Bai Qi.¡± Lu Yuan wasn¡¯t bluffing with those words. Although he hadn¡¯t fought Bai Qi formally, judging by Bai Qi¡¯s fight against the Haoli Dojo, the Nocturnal Roon was not as strong as that horrific skeleton from Bai Qi.
At least, he didn¡¯t think the Nocturnal Roon could surprise attack Alpha. Hearing Lu Yuan¡¯s words, Zhang Kai¡¯s stride faltered. As if sensing something, he turned to look at Bai Qi who had just emerged from the resting room. His eyes were full of hostility.
¡°Uh, what just happened?¡±
Bai Qi looked confusedly at Zhang Kai and scratched his head in bewilderment..

Trantor: 549690339
The speed of the first round was swift and it didn¡¯t take long for the final bout tomence.
Wang Yun VS Xia Xuan.
Theoretically speaking, the small size of the arena for this type of battle was disadvantageous for Xia Xuan and his massive mechanical beast. Moreover, this was in Lingxi City, which meant Xia Xuan was essentially fighting on opposing turf, almost all the cheering from the audience was for Wang Yun.
Naturally, the majority of the cheers were from men.
However, Xia Xuan seemed well-prepared, his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus had moreyers of heavy armor than usual. Apart from the dense assortment of weapons, not a single joint was exposed.
Against the excessively tough defense of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, Wang Yun¡¯s Six-eyed Monkey couldn¡¯t exploit its advantages and was forcibly defeated by the indiscriminate attacks of Xia Xuan¡¯s beast.
Bai Qi roughly calcted that the ammunition Xia Xuan had consumed in a mere thirty seconds was worth more than a hundred thousand federal coins.
Tsk, the whims of the rich.
¡°Still, it¡¯s a roundabout way of demonstrating the principle that a single strong force can break myriad methods.¡±
Wang Yun¡¯s Six-eyed Monkey had an exceptionally strong ability to observe and adapt quickly, but it didn¡¯t possess a corresponding attacking power. Against an average opponent, it could manage well enough, but against someone like Xia Xuan, who tantly ced emphasis on defenses, it was at a loss.
¡°It seems the Steel Training Dummy task can be shelved temporarily. It¡¯s more important to focus on improving Alpha¡¯s attack power for the time being, otherwise, it¡¯ll be hard to cope in the future.¡±
Alpha was a master of Speed Variation, and its attack power was currently satisfactory. However, there was no certainty it wouldn¡¯t face opponents skilled in defense in the future. If Alpha didn¡¯t possess a striking offensive method, it might have to suffer the same fate as the Six-eyed Monkey did today.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s serious demeanor, Han Wei and the others looked disdainful.
The Haoli Dojo¡¯s physically powerful beasts weren¡¯t even rivals for Alpha. And this guy was worried that Alpha¡¯s attack power was insufficient?
What would they be considered then, trash?
¡°Xia Xuan advances to the next round. The first round of the examination officially ends. Competitors in the next round, please take the time to rest.¡±
Mo Guan announced the results, and the list of participants for the second round appeared on the big screen.
¡°Bai Qi, Xia Xuan, Han Wei¡ just threepetitors from Gusu City qualified for the top ten?¡±
Seeing the lonely three names of Gusu City on the screen, President Qin and Cui Ming¡¯s moods took a swift turn.
¡°These boys, theirbat experience is socking. It seems necessary to discuss the after-school extension scheme with the mayor.¡±
With a gloomy expression, President Qjn quietly formted a whole new routine.
¡°It won¡¯t do, we must let that boy Bai Qi secure the first rank,¡±
With that thought, President Qin disappeared on the spot with a teleport.
At that moment, Bai Qi was earnestly ying with his Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, while an overly thick Rune Dictionaryy on the side.
He had advanced to the tenth level of the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube. Both the number andplexity of the runes appearing on it had significantly increased. Bai Qj needed to make the most of his time to build up his knowledge repository.
¡°At a time like this, you actually have the leisure to y with your Rubik¡¯s Cube?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s leisurely demeanor, President Qjn was instantly irked and gave him an earful.
Old Qin has a bone to pick with me? Wasn¡¯t everything just fine?
With an innocent face, Bai Qi put down the Rubik¡¯s Cube and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this me brushing up on my rune knowledge, so I canplete your task, President?¡±
Upon hearing this, President Qin paused for a moment, then said, ¡°Leave the rune matter for now. I need to make it clear to you, in the uing matches, you cannot lose any, and you need to win them impressively. Do you understand?¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t achieve the first rank, you know what will happen.¡±
¡°Uh, understood!¡±
This sort of pressure¡ Old Qin wouldn¡¯t have made another bet with Cui Ming, would he?
Small bets give pleasure,rge bets harm the body. How could Old Qin at his age not understand this simple truth?
With a sigh of frustration, Bai Qi thought, winning is one thing, but winning appealingly and impressively, isn¡¯t Old Qin just forcing him to show off?
I¡¯m low-key, I can¡¯t deal with such a thing.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s unwilling expression, Old Qin quickly thought of a solution, ¡°That¡¯s right, I heard you signed an endorsement contract with the Elf House?¡± ¡°Correct, is there a problem with that?¡±
¡°No problem, the champion of every upational Test is always invited for simr endorsements. With the joint exam of the two cities this year, there will probably be more invitations. If the title is taken by someone else, I fear that your endorsement fee might just¡¡±
In an instant, sparks flew from Bai Qi¡¯s eyes as he dered,
¡°Rest assured, President, the championship will definitely belong to our Gusu City!¡±
Whoever robs me of my little money, I will y!
Little Ling Mountain Arena.
The candidates for the second round hadn¡¯t yet entered the arena, but the audience had already filled the seats, discussing the twopeting names about to appear on the screen.
Bai Qi VS Zhang Kai
¡°Hey, who do you think will win this round? ¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? For sure, it is Zhang Kai.¡±
¡°Zhang Kai¡¯s Silent Talent,bined with the superpower attributes of the Nocturnal Roon, will certainly surpass Bai Qi!¡±
¡°Makes sense, besides I heard Zhang Kai might have reached the Second Stage. With a two against one advantage, it¡¯s easy to abuse.¡±
¡°Who are you looking down on? Is it even necessary for a two against one?¡±
¡°Well, it seems like you¡¯re right. Hey, Zhang Kai is entering the arena.¡±
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhang Kai slowly stepped into the battlefield, while Bai Qi on the opponent¡¯s side had yet to enter.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me he knew he couldn¡¯t win, so he just ran away?¡±
From the spectator seats of Lingxi City, came a spate of ridicule, drawing nods of agreement from the crowd. However, some people came up with opposing opinions.
¡°That¡¯s unlikely. After all, Bai Qi did win the first round of the two examinations, and I¡¯ve heard from a friend in Gusu City that this Bai Qi is very strong.¡±
¡°This friend of yours? A guy or a gal?¡±
¡°It¡¯s a gal.¡±
¡°Big bro, please ept my admiration!¡±
¡°Gao Cheng, have you seen Bai Qi?¡±
Despite being urged three times by Mo Guan, Bai Qi didn¡¯t appear, which left Lu Yuan rather restless.
Now, Bai Qi was considered theirst hope, well, one of them, for Gusu City. If he fled without a fight, he could forget about ever showing his face again.
¡°I just checked the rest room, he wasn¡¯t there. He might be somewhere, practicing harder.¡±
Gao Cheng was also a bit anxious and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go look for him again, hopefully, I can make it in time.¡±
¡°No need, I can see him.¡±
Han Wei¡¯s eyes twitched as he pointed in the direction opposite to Zhang Kai. Gao Cheng and a few others also looked in the direction where Han Wei was pointing.
High above the arena, Bai Qi was d in Bone Armor, hands behind his back, and stepping on the Bone Long Sword flying through the air, instantly capturing everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Holy shit, is this the legendary Sword Flying?!¡±
¡°Knees down to the big guy, may I ask when the big guy will take disciples?¡±
¡°Speaking of which, isn¡¯t the big guy¡¯s pet beast the Ice Shadow Swordsman? When did he change it to this sword?¡±
¡°Are you blind? This is the Ice Shadow Swordsman transformed. Look, it¡¯s turned into a lounge chair now.¡±
¡±23333-¡±
Looking at Bai Qi, who flew up on his sword and then casually sat on a bone deck chair, even Mo Guan, who had been an examiner for many years, couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
¡°Old Qin, where on earth did you find such a, um, talent?¡±
President Qin¡¯s eyes twitched,pletely at a loss as to how to describe Bai Qi¡¯s mboyant performance.
You¡¯re meant topete seriously, not show off!
Chapter 92 - 91: Can Intimidation Be Impressive?
Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Can Intimidation Be Impressive?
Trantor: 549690339 | ¡° c¡¯
Looking at Bai Qi who was leisurely lounging on the recliner, closing his eyes to rest, a trace of gloom shed in Zhang Kai¡¯s eyes. He said, ¡°Are you provoking me?¡±
In response, Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and got up, saying, ¡°You misunderstand, I just felt a bit dizzy from the flying sword¡¡±
Bai Qi had deliberately pranked his entrance to avoid being underrated, and it was as shy as he had hoped, catching everyone¡¯s attention and bing the talk of the town.
However, Bai Qi slightly miscalcted one aspect ¨C he had a fear of heights! Luckily, Alpha responded at the right moment. He transformed into a recliner and let him rest; otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself big time. However, looking at Zhang Kai, it seemed that he didn¡¯t believe in his exnation.
¡°Are both contestants ready? Thepetition begins!¡±
As soon as the voice fell, two runes brightened up in front of Zhang Kai. A nocturnal roon and a towering monkey undead soul stood before Zhang Kai. [Name]: Deand Berserk Ape
[Nature]: Undead
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
Another low-level lord!
¡°I know you¡¯re a second-stage Beast Master too. Summon your other beast.¡± he said.
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded and let Alpha return to his normal state. Opening the array, a huge double-headed wolf appeared on the field.
One head was still a silly husky, and the other was a majestic mechanical wolf head.
¡°Er, Gao Cheng, wasn¡¯t Bai Qi¡¯s second pet beast an Arctic Ice Wolf?¡±
Looking at the strangely shaped double-headed wolf in front of him, Han Wei was a bit bewildered.
¡°Should be, right?¡±
Gao Cheng was equally puzzled. He had seen the husky during the previous practical exam as well. Even though it was obviously mechanically modified, it still had a single head.
Had it evolved in these recent days?
¡°What the hell is this guy trying to pull?¡±
Looking at the double-headed husky in front of him, Zhang Kai could not help but frown.
He had heard of pets with two or more heads before, but it was his first time seeing a husky like this, with one mechanical and one biological head.
¡°Hmph! All form and no substance!¡¯1
With a cold snort, Zhang Kai looked down upon Bai Qi even more. Without warning, his silent talent was activated, wrapping Bai Qi in an instant. At the same time, the Berserk Ape fused into Zhang Kai¡¯s body, turning into sweeping ck armor and a long stick.
¡°Yo, it¡¯s actually a beast that has mastered the attached skill; Cui Ming, you really pulled out all the stops.¡±
Seeing Zhang Kai¡¯s second pet beast, Mo Guan could not help butpliment. There were two ways for a Beast Master to fuse with a beast. The first was the Beast Master himself possessing a Fusion Gift, and the second was the pet beast mastering the attached skill.
However, the probability of the Attached Skill appearing was lesser than the Fusion Gift. It was challenging toe across.
The Silent Talent, along with the attached beast, added to the nocturnal roon that excelled at psychic attacks and sneaky assaults, made thisbination a tad excessive.
Cui Ming obviously enjoyed Mo Guan¡¯s praise very much. He said, ¡°Master Mo, you¡¯re exaggerating. Bai Qi is, after all, a Special Training candidate; he¡¯s no match for Zhang Kai.¡±
Keep ttering him, keep on ttering him.
President Qin twisted his head around in annoyance,pletely ignoring the conversation.
On the stage.
Looking at the majestic Zhang Kai, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit envious.
Even though Alpha could transform into armor as well, it was just a change in shape, unlike Zhang Kai, who also received a boost in attributes.
If he were to confront them wearing Alpha, it would be suicidal.
¡°Nocturnal Roon, Berserk Ape, use Intimidation!¡±
Zhang Kai and the nocturnal roon used Intimidation together. A strong momentum aimed at Alpha and the husky, even the surrounding audience felt a significant pressure.
Two Lords against two Elites, under the pressure of double intimidation,
Zhang Kai couldn¡¯t figure out a way he could lose!
¡°Is it just Intimidation? We have it too!¡±
¡°Alpha, use Intimidation!¡±
After soaking in the Mind Spring, Bai Qi unexpectedly discovered that Alpha had prematurely awakened his Intimidation.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Growth Level]: First Stage Eighth Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial Skills]: Skeleton Control (Proficient), Ice Sword sh (Perfect), Shadow
Lotus Skill (Master), Ice Armor (Master), Intimidation (Novice)
[Energy Value]: 13000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Gargle Gargle.
(Alright, boss!)
A chilling aura surged from Alpha, colliding head-on with the double intimidation of the Nocturnal Roon and Deand Apeman, creating a ¡°boom¡± sound as if the air was being stricken.
The entire battle stage was momentarily enveloped by two powerful auras, but it onlysted for an instant before Alpha¡¯s aura was suppressed back.
After all, Alpha had just obtained this ability and was faced against two, Bai Qi originally didn¡¯t n for Alpha to ovee the intimidation of these two lord creatures.
As long as he held them off, his n would be half aplished!
Howl¡
Apanied by a melodious wolf howl, a strong wave of spirit energy transmitted into Zhang Kai¡¯s mind. The connection between him and the Deand Apeman was suddenly weakened, nearly dispersing their attached state.
The Nocturnal Roon beside it was likewise affected, instinctively shifting its intimidation target to the Husky.
Awooooo!
(Hold tight!)
Upon seeing this, Husky swiftly dodged away, regardless of the Nocturnal Roon¡¯s pursuit, they couldn¡¯t lock onto Husky¡¯s position.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to, but this Husky was simply too annoying!
Soul Whisper, what a horrifying skill!
¡°When did the Arctic Ice Wolf learn spiritual skills?¡±
Upon seeing this, Zhang Kai immediately abandoned the idea of suppressing Bai Qi with intimidation. He pulled back his area of control, which only then slightly weakened Beta¡¯s wailing howl.
¡°If so, then I¡¯ll just beat you fair and square!¡±
Zhang Kai swung his staff, promptly closing in on Alpha. Meanwhile, the
Nocturnal Roon slipped silently into the shadows out of sight.
¡°Trying to ambush? You might have picked the wrong opponent.¡± Seeing that the Nocturnal Roon was preparing tounch a stealth attack, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smirk.
¡°Schuck, Beta, leave that roon to you guys, um, be a bit gentle.¡±
¡°As for here¡ Alpha, thrash him!¡±
Gargle Gargle.
(Okay, master.)
Alpha swung both of its arms. They transformed into bone des to meet Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai, who was not afraid in the slightest, waved a long staff in his hand, surprisingly matching blow for blow with Alpha¡¯s speed variation.
¡°The lord-level creatures indeed have inherent superior attributes.¡± Observing Zhang Kai, who somewhat resembled a renowned monkey from his past life, Bai Qi was increasingly anxious to see the results of Alpha¡¯s next evolution. However, he quickly shifted his attention back to the battle stage. ¡°Deand Apeman, smash the ground!¡±
Roar!
Following a battle cry, the ck staff in Zhang Kai¡¯s hand instantly grewrger. Under Zhang Kai¡¯s swing, it quickly reached Alpha¡¯s head.
Due to the Deand Apeman being an undead creature, using the attached skill for too long would cause harm to Zhang Kai¡¯s body, so seeing that he couldn¡¯t quickly achieve victory, he used his most powerful strike.
¡°Smash the ground? I can crack open the sky too.¡±
Bai Qi snapped his fingers. Alpha¡¯s body began to twist immediately. Strand after strand of white bone extended out, then rewound around Alpha. The previously thin-figure suddenly became robust.
Alpha Warrior Form!

Trantor: 549690339
Boom!
The ck giant stick and six bone des collided, and the ground beneath
Alpha immediately cracked open.
Although the Deatnd Savage Ape was of the Soul Race, it was able to provide considerable power after attachment. Even when facing power-type pets, Zhang Kai was not at all inferior.
What surprised Zhang Kai was that Alpha only swayed slightly before stabilizing its body, even forcibly throwing the ck giant stick off.
¡°Was that skill just now Skeletal Hardening?¡±
¡°How could it be? Skeletal Hardening only increases strength, that bone has grown!¡±
¡°Does that mean, when I go home, I should soak my skeleton in milk?¡±
¡°You bunch of rookies, that¡¯s a high-stage skill of the Skeleton type, Skeleton Maniption.¡±
¡°High-stage skill? 23333-¡±
Zhang Kai, who was thrown off, seemingly had not expected that Alpha would have such a trick. But, he instantaneously made a decision, he dropped the idea of using his mighty strike to end the fight, and once again shrunk his stick to its normal size, trying to entangle Alpha.
However, under Zhang Kai¡¯s somewhat frustrated gaze, Alpha¡¯s shape changed once again.
The skeletons that originally coiled around its body disappeared, reced by two skulls on its shoulders and four arms below.
Alpha. Three Heads and Six Arms form!
¡°The Skeleton type can be used like this?!¡±
¡°No way, once I go back, I¡¯ll have to own a Skill As of Skeleton Maniption, even if I have to sell everything I own!¡±
Including Lu Yuan, all the Skeleton Beastmasters in the arena suddenly felt as though a new world had opened up to them.
¡°Alpha, take him!¡±
Seeing Alpha sessfully switch between two forms, Bai Qi pointed at Zhang Kai with satisfaction. Alpha whistled out like a sharp arrow, directly propelling himself right at him.
Facing the rapid attack of six bone des, Zhang Kai was clearly overwhelmed, but he did not give up. He nced from time to time at the shadow that slowly covered the entire ring.
The Nocturnal Roon was his main pet!
Sure enough, as Alpha pressed down on Zhang Kai, a series of intangible thought balls flew out of the shadows and silently flew towards Alpha. Alpha responded immediately, the power of the Shadow Department attached to the skeleton, using two arms to resist the omnipresent thought balls.
Zhang Kai seized this opportunity to increase his offensive forcing Alpha to respond with all its power, while a giant roon quietly appeared behind Alpha. However, because of the shadow¡¯s cover, the outside world couldn¡¯t see any signs at all.
[Skill Name]: Night Surprise Attack
[Skill Introduction]: Use the night to eliminate all the pet¡¯s breath, andunch a full-body surprise attack on the enemy. The power is enormous, but there is a short weak period after use.
We won!
As he looked at Alpha who showed no reaction at all, the nocturnal roon was ready to emerge from the night. At that moment, a giant dog head suddenly appeared before it.
Woof woof!
(Are you ying hide and seek?)
The Husky¡¯s pair of curious blue eyes looked at the nocturnal roon that had just shown its head from the shadows, sniffing at it curiously, which scared the nocturnal roon back.
It was a coincidence, it must have been a coincidence!
The Nocturnal Roon calmly watched the Husky searching in the shadows, nning to ambush Alpha from a different spot.
But, at the moment it emerged, the Husky reappeared in front of it again, sticking out its tongue and scaring the Nocturnal Roon back.
¡°First this skeleton, and then that dog, what is going on with this guy¡¯s creatures!¡±
Seeing the Nocturnal Roon, a beast of a lord-level creature, being scared off like a rat by an elite-level Arctic Ice Wolf, Zhang Kai felt like he was going to explode.
¡°Nocturnal Roon, blow up that Arctic Ice Wolf directly!
Zhang Kai gave up on ambush and ordered the Nocturnal Roon to deal with the Husky directly.
Roar!
The Nocturnal Roon received the order and immediately jumped out of the shadows, with his body inting again and wing powerfully towards the
Husky.
Awwo!
(Are you sure you want to stand there?)
The Husky remainedpletely calm as the huge paw came close. A sh of red light in his eyes and the ground beneath the Nocturnal Roon exploded, sending it flying.
However, it wasn¡¯t over. When the Nocturnal Roon steadied itself in mid-air using telekinesis and nned to counterattack, a wave of ghostly howls resonated deep inside it. Then, a bunch of Mechanical Fleas crawled out from its body, causing the Nocturnal Roon to stumble and fall again.
Then a series of uninterrupted explosions followed. Wherever the Nocturnal Roon stopped, there would be an explosion. By the time thest explosion ended, the Nocturnal Roon was dizzy and hadpletely lost its ability to fight-
¡°The explosive hit rate is 89%, with an effective damage rate of 60%. There is room for improvement.¡±
After dealing with the Nocturnal Roon, the always silent Schuck finally spoke, summarizing the efficiency of thebat. In its field of vision, the entire stage was almost stealthily covered with mechanicalndmines engraved with explosion runes.
¡°Sure enough, the correct decision was making Schuck responsible for controlling the explosion power.¡±
Seeing Schuck control the originally unstable explosion of the Husky so precisely, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
At least they didn¡¯t have to worry about being blown up by the dummy Beta.
On the other side, Zhang Kai got distracted because the Nocturnal Roon was defeated by the Husky¡¯s entric battle tactics. Alpha naturally wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity. A sh of ck light in his eyes, and a Shadow Lotus Skill burst out from the ground, breaking through the defense of the Netherworld Berserker and stopping the bone spur in front of Zhang Kai.
Seeing Bai Qi easily handle Zhang Kai, a seeded yer from Lingxi City, Mo Guan was a bit surprised.
With his discerning eyes, he naturally saw that Alpha was still in control despite his battle with Zhang Kai. He hadn¡¯t yet used his ice n abilities and those strange runes.
¡°Bai Qi vs Zhang Kai, Bai Qi wins, advancing to the next round!¡±
When they heard Mo Guan¡¯s decision, there was an uproar within the arena. This seeding candidate from Tainxuan High School, guaranteed to be offered admission to one of the top ten academies, was defeated so easily.
Moreover, this guy isn¡¯t even abat specialist?
Rumor has it that he¡¯s in machine warfare?
How could that make the purebat professionals feel!
¡°By the way, I just remembered, Bai Qi¡¯s Skeleton was bought from the Elf House. Gusu City is near Undead Hill, could that be why it¡¯s a superior variety?¡±
¡°Possible!¡±
¡°Elf House, don¡¯t they mostly sell Arctic Ice Wolves? Wait, isn¡¯t Bai Qi¡¯s other pet an Arctic Ice Wolf too?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, to the Elf House!¡±

¡°I suppose this counts aspleting the chairman¡¯s task then.¡±
Listening to the discussion amongst the spectators, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
Having taken out Zhang Kai, the strongestpetitor in Lingxi City, this time securing the top spot in the joint examinations should be guaranteed, as should be the endorsement fees.
s, now I can happily shop again.
Humming a little tune, Bai Qi returned to the contestants¡¯ stand. Before he could open his mouth, Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan arrived, eyes full of resentment. ¡°You said that Alpha¡¯s modification was a special case. How do you exin that Arctic Ice Wolf of yours?!¡±
Eyeing Gao Cheng¡¯s murderous gaze, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile, ¡°ident, it was an ident.¡±
Regardless of how perfectly the robotic and biological parts of Husky seem to mesh, it took Bai Qi bit by bit merging it with the Evolution Egg. Let alone helping out with this kind of favor again, he wasn¡¯t willing to make another one for himself.
Too time-consuming, and most importantly, too expensive.
Not to mention, Schuck, aiming for practicality in movement andmunication, spent a whole day with Bai Qi building an additional mechanical head on the half-body mech armor, thus giving rise to the two-headed Husky figure.
However, ording to Schuck, this mechanical head was just a temporary arrangement, with a series of modifications nned for the future.
After looking over the restructuring n that Schuck had presented to him, Bai Qi decided never to discuss any rted issues with Schuck again.
Discussing these things with an Al with consciousness was like stabbing himself in the foot.
¡°If the mechanical head was an ident, then the runes you used in your battle with Cheng aren¡¯t idental, right?¡±
Lu Yuan examined Bai Qi from head to toe, seemingly trying to figure out what other strange things Bai Qi might be hiding in his head.
¡°Hmm, let me do some further research into that.¡±
Not denying it this time, Bai Qi felt his phone vibrate and promptly retreated from Lu Yuan and the others to the resting area.
¡°Zhuge Chen?¡±
Bai Qi had a hunch.
¡°What is it?¡±
Spare me the nonsense, why would I find you if it wasn¡¯t for anything?¡± Oh lord, businessmen are all so ruthless. They don¡¯t care about years of friendship.
¡°I saw your recent match. My dad asked me to find you immediately to renegotiate the contract. I have sent you the electronic version. What do you think?¡±
Renegotiate the contract? Was my performance just now a bit too much?
Bai Qi opened the new contract sent by Zhuge Chen, carefully reviewing it before he could finally rx.
There wasn¡¯t much change in the misceneous content of the contract, just the naming of the endorsed creatures and the sharing ratio was updated.
Initially, he was only endorsing skeletal creatures. Now, an Arctic Ice Wolf was added, and an additional 20% was included in the sharing ratio.
Originally, my dad wanted to give you another 20%, but he¡¯s nning to establish a dojo affiliated with our Elf House soon, so we¡¯ll have to inconvenience you for the time being.¡±
A dojo?
Bai Qi silently gave Zhuge Chen¡¯s dad a thumbs-up.
The Elf House handles sales, the dojo handles training, and I handle publicity. They clearly want to establish an industrial chain.
¡°No problem, let¡¯s settle on this! Well sign the contract when I get back!¡± Thinking about the profits he could make from this industrial chain, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes turned into dor signs as he agreed to Zhuge Chen¡¯s proposal without hesitation.
I¡¯m going to strike it rich this time!
¡°Okay, when you return to Gusu City, Ille to pick you up. My father wants to have a face-to-face chat with you.¡±
Initially, getting him to sign with Bai Qi was mainly because he was already familiar with him. Zhuge Xu ¨C Zhuge Chen¡¯s dad ¨C didn¡¯t expect Bai Qi to havee so far at that time, thinking of riding the hot trend while taking their younger generation along.
But now, Bai Qi has defeated Zhang Kai, a hot candidate for the top scorer, and it is said that Xia Xuan, the only one in Gusu City who seems to have hope to defeat Bai Qi, has also lost to him. Thus, the top scorer is pretty much set in stone.
An endorsement from the top scorer of the joint examination of the two cities, inviting a few masters to sit in the dojo at the opening, then their Elf House would be able to gain a solid footing in the financial group.
¡°Okay, I haven¡¯t seen Uncle in a while.¡±
Bai Qi immediately agreed. He did know Zhuge Xu, and because of him, he became acquainted with Zhuge Chen. It¡¯s just that Zhuge Xu was busy with business all year long and Bai Qi barely saw him.
¡°Alright, you focus on your match, I have to prepare something.¡±
Zhuge Chen hung up, and Bai Qi returned to the arena.
¡°Who¡¯s the current match between?¡±
Bai Qi looked towards the arena, and the two contestants inside weren¡¯t familiar to him. They were probably students from Lingxi City.
They are both from Lingxi City, one is Sun Ling and the other Gu Shan.¡±
Gao Cheng pointed to Gu Shan, who had an ordinary face, ¡°That Gu Shan can contract double the pets than anyone else because of his talent enhancement of the Beast Control Space. He¡¯s quite strong.¡±
Bai Qi looked in the direction Gao Cheng was pointing and indeed saw four pets of different races and attributes surrounding Gu Shan.
Emerald Snake, Golden Pupil Cat, Water Cannon Turtle, zing Bird.
This guy¡¯s configuration, is quite imaginative¡
Gazing at the four pets standing in four respective directions: front, back, left, and right of Gu Shan, Bai Qi also became interested and watched them for a little longer. He quickly discovered that the average levels of these four pets were quite low.
Undoubtedly, Gu Shan contracted four pets too early, and now his resources can¡¯t keep up.
But beating Sun Ling shouldn¡¯t be a problem.
Everyone¡¯s levels are still quite low, so at this stage, the advantage of quantity still exists.
Of course, if Beast Masters who have talent enhancement for Beast Control Space and have enough resources, they are extremely powerful in theter stage. After all, having double the pet spaces than others is no joke.
Unless there is an unexpected twist, after this round ofpetition ends, there
should be some people who will have their eyes on Gu Shan.
But isn¡¯t there anyone in Lingxi City reminding Gu Shan not to rush to contract so many pets?
Soon, the battle between Gu Shan and Sun Ling came to an end. Gu Shan advanced to the next round sessfully, while Bai Qi and hispanions didn¡¯t have the mood to watch any more. They decided to go to a nearby restaurant to enjoy their lunch.
This time, Bai Qi didn¡¯t refuse. He felt that he was about to adopt a diet of herbs soon. However, unable to stand the murderous gazes thrown by Gao Cheng and the others, he decided to go with them.
His role, of course, was to settle the bill.
An hourter, everyone returned to the arena after a good meal.
It was lunchtime now, and the arena was sparsely popted, with only a few die-hard fans and journalists still on the spectator seats.
The top ten hot contenders had basically finished their matches, and most spectators lost interest and went to worship their own temples (¡®having lunch¡¯).
However, thepetition was tightly scheduled, so not long after, the spectators started returning.
Although it¡¯s a pity that Zhang Kai was eliminated too early, there would be nome ducks among the top five. The matches should still be quite enjoyable.
Sure enough, after thest neer of the second round had emerged, Mo Guan announced the schedule and pairing list of the third round.
And upon seeing the arrangements for the third round, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned.
¡°I got a bye?¡±

Chapter 95: Chapter 94: Xia Xuan Loses Again
Trantor: 549690339
Looking at his name singled out on the big screen, he only felt a wave of heartache.
Being unable topete meant he couldn¡¯t show off anymore?
Without showing off, wouldn¡¯t his endorsement fees decrease?
I¡¯m going to report this; there¡¯s some foul y!
Coach, I want topete!
Regrettably, the arrangement of the grand tournament was entirely random, and outsiders couldn¡¯t intervene, otherwise, Zhang Kai and Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t meet this early.
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s see what tricks Xia Xuanes up withter. Therge-scale energy system in the secret realm may still rely on him to solve it.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Xia Xuan¡¯s opponent on the battle chart, and by chance, it was Gu Shan, whom he had noticed earlier.
¡°It¡¯s a pity, Xia Xuan¡¯s big guy isn¡¯t afraid of a mobbing.¡±
Even though he had defeated Xia Xuan twice, Bai Qi still recognized Xia Xuan¡¯s strength. Especially under the financial onught of the other party, an average person really couldn¡¯t contend with him.
Shortly, the break time ended, and the match between Xia Xuan and Gu Shan officially began.
Looking at Gu Shan, who was dressed ordinarily, looked ordinary, and even had amon pet beast, Xia Xuan¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but sh with disdain, and soon he cast his gaze to Bai Qi in the audience.
Because of some bbermouth brazenly spreading rumors, his two losses to Bai Qi were well-known in the circle. Lately, he had enough of everyone else¡¯s ridicule.
This time, he learned his lesson, and with the help of a professional team, hepletely remodeled the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus and Mechanical Sword Dragon Beast.
This time, whether it was a quick sneak attack or violent disassembly, long-range or closebat, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus had a method to deal with it.
As long as he could counter the previous humiliation in such arge-scalepetition, the previous negative news would be swept away.
¡°Please prepare, contestants.¡±
Mo Guan¡¯s gaze swept across the two, signaling them to get ready, and both immediately summoned their pets.
On the one hand, there were two beautifully crafted and giant mechanical beasts, on the other, a lower-level ordinary pet with a normal bloodline. Hardly anyone was optimistic about Gu Shan¡¯s oue, and everyone started looking forward to the next battle.
¡°Let¡¯s finish this quickly, I still have to prepare for the final battle.¡±
Xia Xuan nced at Gu Shan, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and impatiently gave orders to the two Mechanical Beasts. Gu Shan on the other side finally reacted and began to move.
However, this time Gu Shan did not let his four pet beasts attack separately. Instead, they clung together closely,unching a long-range attack on the two Mechanical Beasts together.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, four different types of attacks actually harmoniouslybined together, and they burst out with a power that exceeded their original strength.
¡°Is this, Elemental Resonance Talent, this kid is a Dual Talent user?!¡±
Seeing the methods Gu Shan used, Mo Guan was somewhat unsettled, looking at the stage with a surprised face. Cui Ming also had a surprised look, apparently also not expecting Gu Shan to have a second talent.
However, very quickly, Cui Ming¡¯s surprise was overwhelmed by ecstasy.
Beast Control Space enhancement talent added to Elemental Resonance Talent, Gu Shan¡¯s talents are nothing less than Zhang Kai¡¯s.
No, not considering any specific match-ups, it could be even higher!
What is Tainxuan High School doing, wasting such a talent.
¡°First, it was the Silent Talent, and now another Dual Talent holder, why do all these little monsters pop out from Lingxi City.¡±
Looking at the two Mechanical Beasts below that were submerged by thebined attack of Gu Shan¡¯s four pet beasts, President Qin had already envisioned Gu Shan¡¯s bright future, which was followed byints.
¡°But thankfully, I still have a Breaking the Void talent holder here.¡±
President Qin looked at Bai Qi, feeling somewhatforted in his heart.
Though Gu Shan¡¯s talent was good, the resources he consumed were doubled. And Bai Qi had the Breaking the Void talent. He would neverck resources, and Gu Shan may not be Bai Qi¡¯s opponent in that regard.
Finally, the energy wave dissipated, and Xia Xuan¡¯s two mechanical beasts were left in tatters, clearly having lost theirbat ability.
¡°Did I lose again?¡±
Xia Xuan dumbfoundedly looked at his two mechanical beasts and then nced at Gu Shan across from him who was also panting heavily, a hint of regret shed in his eyes.
Simultaneously using two talents and that high-powered skill put a big burden on Gu Shan. If he hadunched his attack before Gu Shan, the oue might have been different.
He who strikes first prevails, and he who strikesst suffers, he had forgotten about this again.
¡°Gu Shan, advances to the next round.¡±
The hot favorite to win the championship, Xia Xuan, was unexpectedly eliminated. But the spectators in the arena became even more excited.
The purpose of watching thepetition was to see the exciting stuff. There¡¯s no point in watching once the result is known.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Xia Xuan to lose. If I didn¡¯t know that Xia Xuan wasn¡¯t short of money, I¡¯d suspect he was throwing the match.¡±
As someone who was rtively familiar with Xia Xuan among the people present, Han Wei was also surprised by Xia Xuan¡¯s unexpected defeat.
¡°Tsk, good thing no one dares to gamble on professional assessments, otherwise a lot of people would be jumping off buildings tonight.¡±
Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this. If he hadn¡¯t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn¡¯t believe the oue, especiallypared with Wang Yun and Zhang Kai, Gu Shan was way too low-key.
As a Dual Talent user, if it were up to Bai Qi, he¡¯d definitely be showing off.
Without showing off, where would the moneye from to train so many pet beasts!
¡°However, that Four Element Combination Skill is indeed tricky.¡±
Bai Qi rubbed his chin and started thinking about countermeasures.
He hasn¡¯t signed a new contract with the Elf House yet. If the championship that¡¯s already in his hands slipped away, it would be a big loss.
¡°Alright, it¡¯s my turn next.¡±
The first match of the third round ended at an amazing speed. Even when Han Wei¡¯s round started, the spectators in the arena were still recalling Gu Shan¡¯s set of attacks.
Of course, part of the reason was that there was a big gap between Han Wei¡¯s opponent and him, so the entire game ended quite ndly.
However, Han Wei¡¯s performance after the game did catch the attention of some people.
¡°Master Mo Guan, I forfeit the next round.¡±
Han Wei waved at Mo Guan and loudly expressed his thoughts. Mo Guan, after discussing with President Qin and Cui Ming, also agreed to Han Wei¡¯s request.
As a Beast Master, they had the right to admit defeat. It was just that in this kind of ranking battle, people generally didn¡¯t exercise this right.
But considering Bai Qi and Gu Shan, the twopetitors whose strength far exceeded their peers, Han Wei¡¯s forfeit seemed wise.
It¡¯s brave to strive for the unknown, but it¡¯s foolish to still strive when the result is known.
¡°Contestant Han Wei has forfeited. The two contestants participating in the final battle are Bai Qi and Gu Shan.¡±
¡°Please prepare well, you two. The final battle will be held in one hour.¡±
The rest period for this round was obviously longer than before, which could be said to be a concession to Gu Shan.
After all, Bai Qi was on a bye in the previous round and did not consume any energy. But Gu Shan, on the contrary, needed a good rest..

Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Vehicle Overturned? Doesn¡¯t Exist (Seeking First Subscription)
Trantor: 549690339
An hour quickly passed, and Bai Qi emerged from the secret realm on time, walking solidly onto the ring.
Once was enough for Sword Flying; too much might well backfire.
The most critical point was that he indeed felt rather nauseous from flying by sword.
After Bai Qi entered the ring, Gu Shan finally arrived, his face showing no signs of fatigue.
After demonstrating his Dual Talent, Cui Ming personally found Gu Shan and helped him recover his physical strength, all with the intent of defeating Bai Qi in the final battle.
If he could take the first ce in the two-city joint exam and then slightly refine him, Gu Shan could undoubtedly be a symbolic figure in Lingxi City.
Perhaps, in the future, Lingxi City could have another legend?
The more Cui Ming thought about it, the more excited he became, well below him, Gu Shan also began to look forward to his future.
He was naturally quite dull and with Zhang Kai, a Silent Talent holder among his peers, his Dual Talent could not be disyed well, so he did not talk about it much.
However, after this chance to show his mettle, he was enjoying the treatment once received by Zhang Kai, how could he not be excited.
If he could train these four pets, no, train more pets,bined with his Elemental Resonance Talent, who among his peers would stand a chance against him!
Thinking of this, Gu Shan¡¯s face lost its previous dullness, reced by boundless daydreaming.
Looking at Gu Shan, who was grinning foolishly, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but be aware that this fellow must have been deceived by the pie Cui Ming had painted for him.
However, this fellow certainly had potential, fitting perfectly the temte of amoner¡¯s genius protagonist.
¡°Ahem, can we begin now?¡¯1
At Bai Qi¡¯s reminder, Gu Shan quickly responded, turning back into his usual dull self and rapidly reaching his battle position.
¡°Both contestants are in position, thepetition begins now!¡±
As soon as Mo Guan¡¯s voice fell, Gu Shan quickly summoned his four pets and prepared to activate his Elemental Resonance Talent.
During the one-hour break, Cui Ming not only helped him recover his physical strength but also gave him all of Bai Qi¡¯s data.
ording to the data, Bai Qi¡¯s main pet, the Ice Shadow Swordsman, was speedily adept, and the Arctic Ice Wolf seemed to be good at spiritual attacks, so to defeat Bai Qi, his only choice was to initiate an attack before Bai Qi, and win the match in one fell swoop.
To this end, Cui Ming even secretly stuffed Gu Shan a Spirit Power Strengthening Ne to speed up his skillunch.
¡°It¡¯s the same old trick. Don¡¯t you know that the same moves are useless against some people?¡±
Seeing Gu Shan, as he had expected, wanting tounch a quick attack, Bai Qi grinned and Alpha quickly plunged its arms into the ground. The ground under the paws of Gu Shan¡¯s four pets began to rumble.
¡°Not good, quickly gather together!¡±
Gu Shan sensed something wrong and instinctively wanted his pets to gather, but he was one step too slow.
A cluster of bones pierced the ground and rapidly formed four Bone Cages that forcibly separated Gu Shan¡¯s four pets. The entwining Shadow Department Power made it impossible for the four pets to struggle free in a short time. They could only watch as the Bone Cages slowly dragged them further apart.
¡°Damn it!¡±
Seeing his four pets separated, Gu Shan became anxious. With a hardened heart, he forcefully activated his Elemental Resonance Talent.
Although they were a little far apart, as long as the four petsunched their attack together, he could blend the attacks.
The only problem was that he might be seriously ill afterward.
¡°Still thinking about turning the tables? Sorry, you¡¯re one step toote again.¡±
Spying the Elemental Shock emanating from the mouths of the four pets, Bai Qi¡¯s face expressed a satisfying smile. He intentionally dispelled the Shadow Department Power on the Bone Cages.
¡°Has Bai Qi gone mad?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi not only not stopping Gu Shan but actively dispelling the restraining Shadow Department Power, Lu Yuan and the others were somewhat baffled, only Han Wei, who had the keenest eyes, saw something. ¡°On the Bone Cages are, runes?¡±
As soon as his voice faded, the Husky, who had been crouching on one side, suddenly stretched out its w and pressed it on Alpha. A red st Power swiftly followed Alpha¡¯s skeleton all the way to the Bone Cage, lighting up the runes on the Bone Cage.
Fire attribute rune, explosion.
Stimted by the st Power, the densely tucked Explosion Runes on the Bone Cage were activated instantly, and Alpha also cut off its connection with the Bone Cage in response.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Followed by four sessive explosions, the four Bone Cages sted open, thick smokepletely enveloped the ring, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
However, everyone in thepetition knew the result.
Bearing the brunt of such an explosion, Gu Shan¡¯s four pets couldn¡¯t withstand it with their level.
And even if they did, they wouldn¡¯t have much fighting power left.
As expected, once the smoke cleared, Gu Shan¡¯s four pets were already sprawled out on the floor. The Water Cannon Turtle that had rtively higher defense could barely move, while the other three pets hadpletely lost theirbat abilities.
¡°I lost.¡±
Looking at his pets in such a sorry state, Gu Shan was somewhat unable to ept it for a while. However, he was naturally someone who did not reveal his emotions. After a brief moment of shock, he came to his senses and actively conceded.
¡°I appreciate it.¡±
Seeing Gu Shan conceding, Bai Qi also responded with a bow.
The level of Gu Shan¡¯s pets was still too low. If only the Pet Beast Growth Level or the race level were a little higher, it would not have fallen to the firstbined strike of Alpha and Beta.
But it must be said that thisbination was really quite good.
Bone Cage Explosion!
This was the codename that Schuck had chosen for their joint action, and Alpha readily epted it.
As for Beta, thisbined attack required a high level of control over st Power to ensure that an unstable explosion did not ur, so Schuck had zapped him unconscious in advance.
¡°The match has ended, Bai Qi versus Gu Shan, Bai Qi is the winner, I dere the champion of this united examination rankingpetition from Gusu City is Bai Qi!¡±
Seeing the two end their fight harmoniously, Mo Guan nodded in satisfaction and loudly announced the result of the match. After a short silence, a thunderous apuse erupted in the arena.
This rankingpetition had been full of unexpected twists and turns.
First, two favored champions were eliminated, followed by the surprising emergence of Gu Shan as a dark horse. Just when it seemed this dark horse was about to make his move, he was killed almost instantly by Bai Qi.
The ticket price for this match had been well worth it!
Looking at President Qin, whose mouth was curled into a grin from ear to ear, Mo Guanughed and said, ¡°Old Qin, you¡¯ve found a promising neer this time around. I look forward to seeing his performance in the special training.¡± ¡°Oh, don¡¯t mention it, Zhang Kai and Gu Shan have much more potential than this kid.¡±
President Qin waved his hand at his words, forcefully praising Zhang Kai and Gu Shan, but anyone who wasn¡¯t blind could see that he was just making polite remarks.
What is potential?
Potential is the ability that has not been developed yet. It may be strong once developed, but it means nothing if it isn¡¯t developed.
Besides, who said Bai Qicked potential?
As the others left it unspoken, Mo Guan started to announce the rest of the rankings. The top 20 candidates of the qualifying tournament, one by one, came to the center of the ring, waiting to receive their professional Beast Master¡¯s licenses from the presidents.
As the top 20 in thebined examination of the two cities, the licenses of these Beast Masters were to be personally granted by the chairman of the association, which was quite an honor.
As for Bai Qi, the champion, he was responsible for Mo Guan, the referee of this rankingpetition.
¡°Congrattions. I hope to see your amazing performance again next time.¡±
With a smile, Mo Guan gives Bai Qi his professional Beast Master¡¯s license as well as the championship medal of thebined examination of the two cities.
¡°Thank you, I will work hard.¡±
Bai Qi solemnly epted the medal and the license, feeling somewhat excited.
Finally, he had officially stepped into the door of bing a Beast Master.
Well, let¡¯s set a small goal first.
Earn a billion first?
Wait, the thirty percent endorsement fee for two pets from the Elf House, that doesn¡¯t seem to count as a goal.
Hurry up and find a partner?
Phew, a real man needs only his pets, not a woman in his heart!
Be a legend before graduation?!
This is doable!
Bai Qi silently set his next goal,pletely missing what the two presidents had said.
Soon, the award ceremony ended and the candidates began to leave.
¡°Phew, finally, the exams are over. I¡¯m going to rx back at home.¡±
Han Wei stretched and asked, ¡°Gao Cheng, do you guys wannae along?¡±
Gao Cheng nodded with a broad smile on his face.
¡°Great, I n to rest for a couple of days too, then think about my uing schedule.¡±
Even though he was defeated in the first round of the rankingpetition, at least he had managed to obtain his professional Beast Master¡¯s license and ranking.
Moreover, the person who beat him was this year¡¯s champion Bai Qi, so he didn¡¯t mind at all.
Han Wei put his arm around Bai Qi¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Bai Qi, are youing? You won thebined examination of the two cities. We should celebrate, right?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pass, I have a lot of things to do.¡±
Alpha¡¯s mythical material was about to be ready. He needed to prepare in advance.
Old Qin also needed him to experiment with the general application of runes, which would require a lot of time to research.
Schuck and Beta¡¯sbat system also needed to be readjusted and redistributed.
He also needed to look into the energy system and regional distribution in the secret realm, as well as research on the cultivation of Angel¡¯s Flowers.
Oh right, he would also need to go to the association¡¯s headquarters for special training in a while¡
Thinking about all this, Bai Qi instantly felt a headacheing on.
This was a recipe for sudden death.
He had to buy some supplements to strengthen his body.
With that thought in mind, Bai Qi quietly took out his phone, logged into the association¡¯s internal website, and began to search for higher-level supplements.
Although Old Qin¡¯s Light Elf was powerful, there was no guarantee that there would be no idents, so he needed to have supplements ready.
But evolving into a Lord might consume a lot of his energy instantly, and he might not have time to consume items that need to be chewed, like the Angel Fruit. It would be best to have something that didn¡¯t require him to administer it himself.
Should he consider getting an IV drip?
Chapter 97 - 96: Rune Evolution
Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Rune Evolution
Trantor: 549690339
Gusu City.
Bai Qi¡¯s home.
Secret realm.
A dozen or so skeletons were arranged neatly in a row, motionless except for the flickering soul fire in their eye sockets, proving they were not sculptures.
¡°No wonder the Federation prioritizes the Undead Catastrophe over other disasters. The high-ranking undead really suppress the low-ranking ones to an exaggerated extent.¡±
Looking at the obedient skeletons under the influence of Alpha¡¯s intimidation skill, much like docile rabbits, Bai Qi officially realized the distinct ss differences among the Undead department creatures.
¡°Luckily Alpha had grasped the intimidation skill before the fight with Zhang Kai. Otherwise, it might not necessarily have been a match for that dead brute.¡±
Feeling a bit relieved, Bai Qi put on the rune sses, took the rune engraving knife, and headed towards the first skeleton.
¡°Schuck, you¡¯re in charge of collecting the experimental data. Alpha, remember to keep these guys in check.¡±
The day he returned to Gusu City, President Qin gifted him fifteen skeletons for Bai Qi to experiment on. Bai Qi, delighting in these free test subjects, dly epted them all.
¡°Let¡¯s try the first set of runes.¡±
Bai Qi pushed his sses up and started to carve on a skeleton with his engraving knife.
Compared to Red me Iron, the skeletons¡¯ bones were significantly more fragile. Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel much resistance.
However, Bai Qi noticed that as he carved with his knife, his spirit power flowed naturally into the runes.
¡°Apart from a beast¡¯s energy, can a Beast Master¡¯s spirit power also serve as a source?¡±
Bai Qi had a faint spection. But his hand slipped due to this distraction, ruining the half-finished rune.
As expected, carving runes required delicacy. Only Alpha, who was single-minded, could spend a whole day on it.
Bai Qi took a breath, calming his heart to start carving again.
This time there were no issues. A brand new rune soon formed under Bai Qi¡¯s hand.
¡°Hmm, it flows like a cloud and flows like water. It has a master¡¯s touch.¡±
Looking at his first creation, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
¡°Generic Rune: Harden, Simrity: 67%, Beast Master, you still need to work hard.¡±
Just as Bai Qi was self-satisfied, Schuck¡¯s cold electronic voice suddenly rang out, immediately grounding Bai Qi back to reality.
¡°Tsk¡ That¡¯s what¡¯s wrong with mechanical life forms, not knowing how to be tactful.¡±
Bai Qi clicked his tongue, ncing at Schuck a little annoyed, then turned to Alpha, ¡°Alpha, let it guide the energy to activate the rune.¡±
ck ck.
(Alright.)
Alpha nodded, approached the skeleton, and with a sh of the soul fire in its eye sockets, the skeleton shook a little and looked at the rune on its arm puzzledly. However, it didn¡¯t perform the next step.
ck ck.
(Master, it seems to not understand yourmand.)
Bai Qi was silent. The skeleton¡¯s intellect was too low. It didn¡¯t even know how to guide its energy value?
Looking at it this way, Alpha was pretty clever.
It was just a bit silent usually.
¡°Forget about it, Alpha, you activate it.¡±
With a resigned sigh, Bai Qi stepped aside and let Alpha activate it.
Alpha nodded, grabbing the skeleton¡¯s arm, cautiously letting in a trickle of energy, and the Harden Rune lit up. A faint sparkling glow also gradually enveloped the skeleton¡¯s arm.
This was almost identical to a beast¡¯s hardening technique.
¡°Schuck, test the effect of hardening and record the duration.¡±
Bai Qi directed Alpha to stop the energy, then let Schuck step forward. After some fiddling around, Schuck quickly gave feedback.
¡°It¡¯s basically simr to the hardening technique in effect but its power is very low. If you could reach a 100% simrity, Beast Master, we should be able to enhance the effect to a beginner¡¯s proficiency level.¡±
Is it just at a beginner¡¯s proficiency level?
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit disappointed. Hardening was amon technique. Many beasts could master it with training. If the effect was only at a beginner¡¯s level, it was a little mediocre.
¡°Forget it, at least it proves that runes can be promoted among skeletal creatures.¡±
Bai Qi consoled himself and immediately started on the second rune.
This time, to avoid the previous embarrassment, Bai Qi practiced a few times on a board beforehand, confirming that there were no problems before he started.
¡°Shading Rune: Camouge, Simrity: 89 %, with an extremely high simrity, congrattions Beast Master.¡±
Listening to Schuck¡¯spliments, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then signaled for Alpha toe up and activate it.
Bang!
Just as Alpha injected its energy into the camouge rune, the skeleton¡¯s whole body instantly cracked, and then exploded into countless fragments.
ck ck.
(Boss, I¡¯m sorry, it wasn¡¯t deliberate.)
Seeing the skeleton explode in its hands, Alpha immediately lowered its head, apologizing to Bai Qi in a somewhat wronged tone.
¡°No problem, there must be an issue elsewhere,¡±
Alpha¡¯s control over energy is urate, it wouldn¡¯t overload the energy value. The so-called problem would lie within the runes.
Bai Qi patted Alpha¡¯s head, contemted over the scattered fragments on the ground for a moment, then moved to another skeleton soldier and again carved a concealment rune on it.
¡°Alpha, you give it another try.¡±
Alpha nodded, carefully injecting energy into the skeleton.
This time, the skeleton didn¡¯t explode. Its form slowly blended with the surrounding shadows.
If the issue wasn¡¯t the nature of the rune itself, then it must be the quantity of runes.
Bai Qi took out the engraving knife and carved a hardening rune on a second skeleton, before asking Alpha to activate it.
Sure enough, the skeleton soldier exploded into fragments.
¡°Can they only bear one rune? No, it should be that they can only bear one kind of rune at a time, and it seems to be rted to the level too.¡±
Alpha had already applied multiple runes in actualbat before. During the battle with Gu Shan, it had etched numerous explosion runes onto four Bone Cages ¨C if it were purely limited by quantity, Alpha would have exploded long ago.
But with this understanding, Alpha would need to be cautious when using runes in the future.
With this thought, Bai Qi summoned two more skeleton soldiers for testing. The results matched his expectations. A skeleton soldier could only withstand one kind of rune. Exceeding one would inflict unbearable damage on itself.
However, if both the growth level and bloodline level improved, the number of runes it could bear should increase. Alpha was a clear example of this.
¡°At least something significant was found, but the cost was a bit heavy.¡±
In just over ten minutes, four skeleton soldiers were exhausted. Bai Qi seriously doubted whether these skeleton soldiers wouldst until his lunch.
¡°Let¡¯s test whether the runes of other attributes can take effect.¡±
Looking at the remaining eleven skeleton soldiers, Bai Qi temporarily set aside his experiments with shadow runes and started testing other attribute runes.
¡°Let¡¯s try the ice attribute rune first.¡±
From the runes provided by the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, Bai Qi selected an ice n rune called ¡®Lower Temperature¡¯ ¨C a rtively simple one.
Bai Qi had tried this rune before; it can lower the temperature within a certain range. As for its effectiveness, it could barely serve as an air conditioner.
After several consecutive engravings, Bai Qi got the hang of it, the speed and quality of his engravings noticeably improved. Quickly, he etched ice attribute runes all over the skeleton soldier.
¡°Alpha, this time try to test the limit of the skeleton soldier.¡±
Alpha nodded, the icy blue energy spread from his fingers to the skeleton, igniting the first rune, then the second, the third¡
Soon, all the runes on the skeleton were lit, and a chill began to emanate from the once ordinary skeleton.
Sess!
Seeing the sessful demonstration of the skeleton soldier¡¯s ice-based skills, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
He had been worried that the skeleton soldier,cking the ice-based powers of Alpha, would be unable to trigger the ice runes. But now, it seemed that he had been overthinking.
Creak creak.
(Master, it seems this skeleton soldier is actively absorbing my energy. Should I stop it?)
Bai Qi was about to test the high-level ice runes when Alpha suddenly sent this message.
¡°Is it absorbing your energy? Can these things bacsh?¡±
Bai Qi frowned slightly, about to let Alpha stop supplying energy, when Schuck suddenly advised him otherwise.
¡°The energy flow in the skeleton soldier is very stable and seems to be undergoing some kind of change, I suggest you watch it a little longer, Beast Master.¡±
Schuck¡¯s spirit power swept across the skeleton soldier, quickly grasping its status, and promptly projected an energy value change graph of the skeleton soldier into the air.
¡°The equipment I have is still too basic to detect more detailed data. I suggest you grab more materials as soon as possible, Beast Master. I need a significant upgrade.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
Bai Qi nodded somewhat nkly, feeling a bit disgruntled.
Who exactly is the Beast Master here¡?
Suddenly, the skeleton soldier stopped absorbing Alpha¡¯s energy. An icy blue energy gradually seeped out of its runes, gradually covering its entire body, and the temperature around the skeleton soldier dropped rapidly.
If before it was like a refrigerator preservationyer, then now it was more akin to the freezerpartment.
Crack.
Once the frost subsided, the figure of the skeleton soldier was revealed, but its body was no longer pale white. It had turned a faint blue, and the previously etched runes had all disappeared.
Looking at the skeleton soldier in front of him, constantly radiating cold air, Bai Qi was rather surprised. Schuck timely presented updated data about the skeleton soldier.
[Name]: Ice Bone
[Nature]: Ice n, Undead Department
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Servant
[Description]: An undead born in frost, its attacks can carry the power of freezing.
¡°Is this¡ an evolution?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but exim when he saw the data that Schuck presented.
The runes actually facilitated the evolution of the skeleton soldier?

Department
Trantor: 549690339
The wisdom of the Ice Skeleton after evolution was clearly higher than that of the previous Skeleton Soldier, and it seemed to fear Alpha a bit more than to merely obey it as before.
¡°Alpha, let it try to attack you?¡±
Alpha nodded, gave instructions to the Ice Skeleton, but thetter obviously didn¡¯t dare to offend Alpha, which was superior in both bloodline and growth level, and it stood shivering on the spot.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s too timid. At least Alpha was brave enough to resist legendary
creatures.¡±
Looking at the behaviour of the Ice Skeleton, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help feeling a little disgusted and had no choice but to let Schuck test the Ice Skeleton.
¡°It¡¯s no different from the Ice Skeleton recorded in the pictorial book. It should be considered a sessful evolution.¡±
Hearing Schuck¡¯s words, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
If Ice n runes could evolve the Skeleton Soldier into the Ice Skeleton, could runes of other ns do the same?
Or, could he carve runes before Alpha¡¯s evolution and then they will permanently retain the effect of the runes after the evolution?
Bai Qi was more and more excited, his fiery eyes swept over the remaining ten Skeleton Soldiers, his face full of eagerness to try.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
President Qin and Professor Dong were standing at Bai Qi¡¯s door, repeatedly
pressing the doorbell.
Because Bai Qi had been missing for over ten days in the past, President Qin this time gave up on contacting him and brought Professor Dong directly to his home.
However, even so,
He waited at the door for about ten minutes, but saw no sign of Bai Qi opening
it.
¡°This little brat, how dare he keep me waiting this long. I¡¯ll have to give him a
good beatingter.¡±
Watching the unopened front door, President Qin¡¯s forehead vein popped out, and he was ready to break in.
Professor Dong sighed, ¡°After all, you¡¯re the president of an association, can¡¯t you have some patience? Anyway, I have the whole day free today, so there¡¯s no rush.¡±
President Qin shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s because you don¡¯t know this boy¡¯s situation. If I didn¡¯t remind himst time, he would have missed the professional assessment.¡±
¡°It¡¯s quite normal, Bai Qi is a promising researcher. It¡¯s human nature to get so engrossed that you don¡¯t notice the outside world. Don¡¯t I often do the same?¡±
Oh great, it seems like I¡¯m the odd one out here.
President Qin red at Professor Dong a few times, then saw a car stop in front of Bai Qi¡¯s house, and then Zhuge Chen got out of the car.
¡°President Qin, Professor Dong?¡±
Looking at President Qin and Professor Dong standing at Bai Qi¡¯s front door, Zhuge Chen was a little puzzled, ¡°Are you here to see Bai Qi?¡±
President Qin nodded, ¡°Yes, I came to see him for something. Are you also here for Bai Qi?¡±
Zhuge Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m here to take him over to my dad¡¯s ce to renegotiate
the endorsement contract.¡±
The reason the Zhuge family could be so big and powerful in Gusu City was that they had an excellent rtionship with the Beast Master Association. The initiative to seek Bai Qi¡¯s endorsement was something that President Qin had known in advance.
President Qin chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing you came. If you were anyter, Bai Qi might have been targeted by someone else.
Zhuge Chen said, ¡°I originally wanted toe earlier, but I thought Bai Qi deserved a few days of rest, so I waited till now. Besides, I¡¯ve already arranged it with Bai Qi before, so he shouldn¡¯t be stolen by someone else.¡±
¡°By the way, why are you twoing to see Bai Qi?
President Qin nodded, ¡°I assigned a task to Bai Qi before, and I brought Professor Dong today to give him some guidance. Who knew this boy hasn¡¯t responded till now?¡±
Seeing President Qin¡¯s angry expression, Zhuge Chen also couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°He¡¯s probably busy with some strange research. But I just contacted him before, he should be out soon.¡±
As soon as his voice faded, the front door slowly opened, and Bai Qi, with dark circles under his eyes, poked his head out from behind the door.
¡°President Qin, Professor Dong, Zhuge Chen? Why have you alle together? Bai Qi looked puzzled at the three, while Zhuge Chen exined with a smile, ¡°I just arrived and saw President Qin and Professor Dong waiting at your front door. Then you opened the door.¡±
Bai Qi yawned and tried to look alert, inviting the three of them into the house. Professor Dong scanned Bai Qi from head to toe and spoke softly, ¡°Bai Qi, your current state is too bad to urately draw runes for your pets. I suggest you put that task aside.¡±
President Qin also said, ¡°Yes, that research isn¡¯t urgent. I especially brought Professor Dong today so he could give you some pointers, it¡¯s a chance for you to save some time.¡±
¡°Drawing runes? But I¡¯ve alreadypleted that.
Bai Qi took a bottle of God¡¯s Water out of the fridge to drink, pointed in the direction of Alpha¡¯s training room and said, ¡°Look, it¡¯s there.
President Qin and Professor Dong exchanged surprised looks, then quickly walked towards the training room.
Inside the training room, several differently colored Skeleton Soldiers were desperately dodging the Pea Shooter¡¯s attacks. At the side, an arctic double-headed Ice Wolf was seriously taking down data.
¡°Is this, the Skeleton Soldiers I gave you?¡±
President Qin looked uncertainly at Bai Qi, finding it difficult to associate these creatures with the previous Skeleton Soldiers.
¡°Yes, these are the ones that sessfully evolved. The rest were all destroyed from rune energy disorder.¡±
¡°You mentioned evolution earlier?¡±
President Qin¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up as he grabbed Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and stared at him intently, ¡°All these developments happened after applying runes?¡± Bai Qi nodded, and Professor Dong immediately began examining the evolved skeletal soldiers more closely.
¡°It¡¯s true that they haven¡¯t evolved long, but can runes actually foster the evolution of pets?¡±
Professor Dong adjusted her sses, turned to Bai Qi, and asked, ¡°Can you demonstrate it once more in front of me?¡±
She had dedicated her life to studying runes and had a deep understanding of their applications, most often used in crafting treasures or building the Secret Realm Tower.
She was already profoundly stunned when President Qin told her that Bai Qi applied runes directly to pets, let alone being told today that runes could also enhance pet evolution?
In response to her question, Bai Qi spread his hands wide and said, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t mind, but I don¡¯t have a single skeletal soldier on hand right now.
¡°That¡¯s easy to fix. Just wait for a moment.¡±
Just as Bai Qi finished speaking, an array under President Qin¡¯s feet flickered, and he disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, there were three more skeletal soldiers within the array.
Did he have to act so fast?
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butment as he saw the three skeletal soldiers President Qin had captured with such ease. But faced with the eager looks of President Qin and Professor Dong, Bai Qi obediently carved a rune onto one of the skeletal soldiers, and then let Alpha activate it.
After a brief wait, the skeletal soldier sessfully evolved into an Ice Skeleton and joined the training group under Alpha¡¯s suppression.
¡°It really evolved¡¡±
Professor Dong stood in ce, having witnessed the evolution of an Ice Skeleton firsthand, murmuring to herself, while President Qin excitedly looked at Bai Qi, ¡°Does this effect apply to runes of all attributes? If we rece skeletal soldiers with other pets, can they evolve in the same way?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve only sessfully done it with Ice, Shadow, and Fire attributes, I haven¡¯t tried the others yet.¡±
Bai Qi pointed at the three different evolved types within the training room, ¡°Skeletal soldiers are at such a low level that they can only bear a single rune. Higher-level skeletal creatures should be able to bear more than one. As for flesh-and-blood creatures, I¡¯ve never tried, but it probably won¡¯t work, since they have too many organs and their energy cirction isn¡¯t as stable as skeletal creatures.¡±
¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the Ice Ghost series from Lamentation Tower and the Hellfire series that followed probably have something to do with runes.¡±
¡°But I have no idea how they managed to apply runes to the Soul Race.¡± After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, President Qin asked, ¡°Is this what you¡¯ve been researching these past few days?¡±
¡°Well, something like that.¡±
In truth, Bai Qi had figured out everything he said on the first day; he¡¯d spent the following days researching the runes to carve onto Alpha, discarding the sessful evolutions for Schuck and Beta to y with.
President Qin pondered for a moment, ¡°Celestial Brilliance is back in Gusu City today. I¡¯ll ask him toe over and take a look.¡±
¡°Celestial Brilliance is the Federation¡¯s leading expert on the Undead Department, he might have some unique insights.¡± The trio continued their lively discussion, while Zhuge Chen, who had been standing behind them the entire time, looked bewildered.
However, he did understand one thing ¨C Bai Qi could evolve ordinary skeletal soldiers.
They even wanted to coborate with Celestial Brilliance to research more advanced evolution!
¡°I have to tell father right away, no! I need to get him over here!¡±
Zhuge Chen sensed a business opportunity and immediately sent a flurry of texts to Zhuge Xu. Then he stuck close to the trio, fearful of missing anything. ¡°Bai Qi, your discovery is unprecedented, and it may even have a significant impact on the current pet system. Are you interested in bing my student and delving deeper into the application of runes?¡± As an expert in runes, if Bai Qi were to be her student, he would quickly grasp even more runes, and be able to apply them to pets. Even if they can¡¯t be applied to other types of pets, just the skeletal system alone could branch off into numerous variations.
She was certain that the skeletal system was on the verge of a whole new era! Correspondingly, the status of Gusu City within the Federation would also get aprehensive boost!
Wasn¡¯t the once unknown city of Langya only now rising due to the discovery of a new breeding method for Web Spiders?
¡°Um, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s necessary.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly, ¡°I just lucked out and discovered this, I don¡¯t really have anything profound. I should spare myself the embarrassment. I¡¯ll leave such high-end matters up to you, Professor Dong.¡±
Bai Qi had initially onlypleted the task assigned by President Qin and took the opportunity to get some freeb rats. But if he were to dive deeper into this research, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t want to.
After all, there were over a hundred thousand runes, and he did not have the leisure to experiment with each one.
Given that amount of time, he could utilize the Evolution Egg multiple times and achieve many results.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s refusal, a hint of regret shed across Professor Dong¡¯s face, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t force you. If you have any questions about runes, you can alwayse to me.¡±
¡°Thank you, Professor Dong.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Even though he didn¡¯t n on delving deeper into rune evolution, he still needed to continue studying runes. They were needed for both fighting and exploring the Secret Realm Tower.
¡°However, it¡¯s a pity to just give up on such a discovery.
Professor Dong paused and turned to President Qin, ¡°What do you think about Bai Qi showcasing this oue at the opening ceremony?
President Qin nodded, ¡°It¡¯s possible. At that time, I¡¯ll apply for a patent for Bai Qi. It¡¯s sure to have a considerable promotional effect..
Chapter 99 - 98: The Industrial Chain Expands Again
Chapter 99: Chapter 98: The Industrial Chain Expands Again
Trantor: 549690339
¡°The inauguration ceremony?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled when he heard president Qin and professor Dong¡¯s words. However, Zhuge Chen seemed to have some understanding. ¡°Professor Dong, are you talking about the inauguration ceremony of the Star Mechanics Academy Undead Department?¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°We will discuss the specifics once Celestial Brilliance arrives. After all, he is the honorary dean of the Undead Department and we need his consent for such matters.¡±
¡°Undead Department? Is the Star Mechanics Academy really going to open an Undead Department?¡±
Bai Qi suddenly understood. Although there were rumors of Gusu City investing heavily in the Undead Department when Bai Qiucha decided to reside in Gusu City, the authorities never made an official statement and the matter eventually fizzled out.
However, if president Qin¡¯s words were anything to go by, was this news real?
¡°Yes, Undead Hill is almost fully developed, providing Gusu City with a stable source of undead creatures, which is enough to support an Undead Department.¡±
President Qin said, ¡°Actually, Celestial Brilliance wanted to announce this when he arrived earlier, but there was an uprising at Undead Hill and the emergence of Lamentation Tower, so the matter was put on hold.¡±
So there was such backstory. He had wondered why Celestial Brilliance would settle in Gusu City with his son for no apparent reason.
The smile on President Qin¡¯s face was unmistakable. ¡°But now it seems, this turns out to be a good thing. If it were not for the Gemini Tower, we wouldn¡¯t have known about a possible evolution path for the Undead Department.¡± ¡°You have surely brought a great honor to Gusu City this time.¡±
Bai Qi smiled sheepishly, ¡°I was just lucky. But president, can I skip the inauguration ceremony? You can directly file a patent for me.¡±
Celestial Brilliance was already unhappy when Bai Qi performed mechanical modifications on Alpha. A few days ago, he had even hit Bai Qiucha with a surprise attack. Bai Qi considered himself lucky that Celestial Brilliance hadn¡¯t directly confronted him yet. Now wouldn¡¯t approaching him be just looking for a beating?
One should keep a low profile in life, not always seeking fame or trending on social media ¨C collecting patent fees quietly would suffice.
As for Celestial Brilliance, it was better to avoid him if he could.
If it was impossible to avoid, he could at least wait until he himself became a legend.
Right then, a giant ck bird descended from the sky andnded in Bai Qi¡¯s yard. A dignified middle-aged man stepped off the bird ¨C if it wasn¡¯t Celestial Brilliance Bai Heguang, then who could it be?
Shit, speak of the devil and he appears, could he react any faster?
It seemed that one really shouldn¡¯t mention someone behind their back, or they would get a shock.
¡°President Qin, professor Dong.¡±
Bai Heguang entered the training room, greeted President Qin and Professor Dong, and then his gaze fell on Bai Qi.
¡°We meet again.¡±
¡°Ha ha¡ indeed.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. Can I say I¡¯m not too keen on seeing you?
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s expression, Bai Heguang frowned, then suddenly tossed a wooden box into Bai Qi¡¯s hands.
¡°This is the mythical material from the Thirteenth Bureau for you. I brought it back on my way.¡±
You just toss mythical material that casually?!
Is every title legend this casual?
Bai Qi collected the box in his hand with some apprehension, muttering in his heart.
¡°I was wondering why you came so quickly, turns out you came to deliver mythical material.¡±
Upon hearing this, President Qin chuckled and said, ¡°Perfect timing. I wanted to discuss some serious matters with you.¡±
President Qin pulled Bai Heguang towards an ice skeleton, ¡°Take a look, what¡¯s different from a regr ice skeleton?¡±
Bai Heguang nced over, ¡°Apart from the slightly unstable energy fluctuations, there is no difference. What¡¯s the matter, president, are you nning to do research using ice skeletons?¡±
Although Bai Heguang was addressing president Qin, his eyes were often darting towards Bai Qi, the meaning was pretty clear.
Big shot, what did the mechanical engineering department ever do to you to hold such a grudge?
Bai Qi wore an innocent expression, turning to president Qin for help.
¡°It¡¯s not about nning to do research, but research has already been sessful.¡±
President Qin shook his head, pushing Bai Qi to the front, ¡°Bai Qi, repeat what you did just now.¡±
¡°Uh, okay.¡±
With a hard scalp, Bai Qi walked past Bai Heguang, repeated the steps he had done previously, then let Alpha input energy and activate. A regr skeleton soldier appeared in front of Bai Heguang.
After watching Bai Qi¡¯s operation, Bai Heguang¡¯s normally calm face finally showed a hint of surprise. President Qin then informed Bai Heguang of the conclusions Bai Qi had previously drawn.
¡°Rune Evolution?¡±
Bai Heguang grabbed the ice skeleton. The ice skeleton, which was already medium-grade servant level, was like a giant doll in Bai Heguang¡¯s hands,pletely at his mercy.
¡°I see. elerating absorption of external attribute energy through runes to promote personal evolution. It indeed is a novel approach.¡±
After hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s remarks, Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Bai Heguang acknowledged this method, then he shouldn¡¯t hold a grudge against Bai Qi for using undead creatures to conduct research, right?
After all, it was really not very pleasant to be coveted by a Titled Legendary.
Upon hearing this, President Qin¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°Oh- Can this method be applied to creatures of the Soul Race or other types of pets?¡± Bai Heguang shook his head and said, ¡°It might be possible for the Soul Race, but it would probably be difficult for others to merge with runes.¡±
After hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s exnation, President Qin also felt a bit regretful. If rune evolution could be widespread, the Federation¡¯s strength would absolutely leap forward, and they wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the threat from the Ferocious Beast Tribe anymore.
However, having an alternative method of evolution was always a good thing. Compared to otherplex training methods, rune evolution was definitely simpler.
¡°Now that you, Heguang, have verified that this path is viable, I n to have Bai Qi disy it at the Undead Department¡¯s opening ceremony. What do you think, Heguang?¡±
Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi upon hearing this, shook his head, and said, ¡°Rune evolution has not yet been verified on higher level skeletons. It¡¯s hard to convince people with just the evolution of some low-level skeleton soldiers, so I don¡¯t rmend exposing it so soon.¡±
President Qin nodded upon hearing this and said, ¡°That¡¯s true. If there isn¡¯t enough experimental data, those guys at the patent office won¡¯t easily approve
However, I can establish a specialized research group within the Undead Department, with you as the group leader. As long as the universal applicability of rune evolution on skeletons and even Soul Race creatures is verified, I will personally help you apply for the patent.¡±
When Bai Heguang said this, everyone present was somewhat surprised.
A specialized research group? Celestial Brilliance really hoped for this path of rune evolution.
No, it should be said that he really had high hopes for Bai Qi.
¡°This is also good. When the timees for training, it can open the eyes of those old geezers.¡±
President Qin touched his beard with a smile, growing fonder of Bai Qi by the second.
¡°Since you, Bai Chuanqi, are interested in establishing a specialized group, why not let our Rune Department join in?¡±
Professor Dong responded with a warm smile, saying, ¡°After all, runes aren¡¯t something that can be learned in a short amount of time.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded upon hearing this, saying, ¡°That would be even better.¡±
The two quickly reached a consensus, leaving Bai Qi stunned.
So this meant they didn¡¯t even n to ask for his opinion?
What happened to human rights? What about freedom?
Ding dong! Ding dong!
At that moment, a hurried doorbell ring echoed from the entrance. Zhuge Chen immediately reacted, rushing out to open the door and quickly returning with a pudgy middle-aged man who looked about seventy to eighty percent simr to him.
¡°Bai Qi, 1 heard from Zhuge Chen that you¡¯ve researched a new mode of evolution for skeleton soldiers? Hurry and show me. If the evolution can be stable, your uncle guarantees that you¡¯ll definitely be the youngest tycoon in the Federation!¡±
Zhuge Xu¡¯s voice came rushing in before he was even fully through the door.
Another one? Can¡¯t they all juste together? He was already bing an icy skeleton farm, and with a few more visitors, he could open as a bone yard.
Bai Qi looked at Zhuge Xu¡¯s excited face somewhat speechlessly. Before he could respond, Zhuge Xu noticed Celestial Brilliance and the others.
¡°Ah, I see Bai Chuanqi, President Qin, and Professor Dong are all here. Sorry, sorry, didn¡¯t notice you all because I was in such a rush.¡±
Zhuge Xu stered on a smile and apologized to the others, then gave Zhuge Chen behind him a re.
You little brat, why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier that Celestial Brilliance was here!
Zhuge Chen shrugged his shoulders innocently. Can¡¯t me me, it¡¯s not like I knew he wasing. If you disagree, go straight to Celestial Brilliance and settle the score.
After the two men exchanged looks, Zhuge Xu quickly grasped the situation.
He pondered for a moment, then said, ¡°Had no idea you all think so highly of the project Bai Qi is researching. If that¡¯s the case, I, Zhuge Xu, will have no choice but to shamelessly join in.¡±
¡°The Elf House will provide the funds and materials for the Specialized Rune Evolution Research Group, but we¡¯ll also be tasked with selling the research outputs. We¡¯ll split the profits and the students from the Undead Department can take up internships at the Elf House or affiliated gyms, without any conditions. What do you all think?¡±
On hearing Zhuge Xu¡¯s proposition, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but voice his admiration.
Wow, it¡¯s less a case of forcing his way in, and more of a win-win cooperation.
The Undead Department is in charge of basic training, the Elf House provides resources and pets, the Specialized Research Group is responsible for evolution research, the gym provides practical training and advanced grooming, and Bai Qi handles the endorsements.
He hadn¡¯t even signed thest contract, and the industrial chain had already expanded?
Indeed, after hearing Zhuge Xu¡¯s proposal, Celestial Brilliance and the others also showed quite an interest. President Qin even began discussing the details of the coboration with Zhuge Xu right away.
As for Bai Qi, he waspletely ignored.
Bai Qi nced at Zhuge Chen, who was on the side, his eyes gleaming with dor signs, and wisely retreated, taking out the box that Celestial Brilliance had given him.
What does this mythical level material look like?
When Bai Qi opened the box, a shining spinal bone that looked like crystal appeared before him.
This is a mythical level material?
Feeling the faint aura of dominance emanating from the spine, Bai Qi instinctively reached out and touched it.
Hum-
A dragon¡¯s humming sound rang in Bai Qi¡¯s ears, and in his mind appeared the image of a giant dragon made entirely of crystal bones.
Crystal dragon bone?
Chapter 100 - 99: Evolution to Lord Level
Chapter 100: Chapter 99: Evolution to Lord Level
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi felt a faint trace of dragon might lingering on the crystal spine, a hint of surprise shing in his eyes.
He had originally thought that the Thirteenth Bureau would try to appease him with some inferior mythical material, but instead, the Thirteenth Bureau directly sent over a dragon bone.
Those directly under the Federation sure were wealthy!
Crunch crunch crunch.
(Master, I want that bone!)
As Bai Qi was studying the crystal dragon bone, a strong desire was transmitted from Alpha who was still in the Beast Control Space.
Use it now?
Bai Qi nced at Zhuge Xu and the others who were still studying rune evolution nearby, hesitating.
Alpha was definitely going to evolve into a Lord Level this time, which would definitely drain a lot of his energy. It would be hard to exin if noticed by Celestial Brilliance.
However, Alpha¡¯s desire was just too strong. After pondering for a while, Bai Qi quietly left the training room and entered the secret space.
The six solidified runes on Alpha had long been set, and its bloodline level had also reached a critical point. Now that the mythical material had arrived, it was time for it to evolve.
Moreover, he also wanted to see what Alpha would evolve into with the addition of a mythical material and a rune.
In the secret space, Alpha received the crystal dragon bone. The soul light in its eye sockets surged instantly, eager to absorb this crystal dragon bone immediately.
However, Alpha still resisted the desire in his heart and quietly waited for Bai Qi to use the Evolution Egg.
As Bai Qi¡¯s first pet, Alpha is definitely the biggest beneficiary of the Evolution Egg, so it knew that only the Evolution Egg could give it the greatest benefits.
¡°Schuck, I may not be able to take care of myselfter, remember to help me replenish energy.¡±
Bai Qi summoned the Husky to his side, piled a bunch of replenishment products beside him, thought for a while, gnawed an Angel Fruit in advance, and then put his hand on Alpha.
¡°Evolve!¡±
Bai Qi took a deep breath and activated the Evolution Egg.
A bronze liquid spread from the palm of Bai Qi, and he was instantly dried up to the point of fainting.
Fortunately, Schuck reacted very quickly. Upon noticing Bai Qi¡¯s abnormality, he stretched out his mechanical arm to support Bai Qi and injected a syringe into Bai Qi¡¯s body, allowing him to recover temporarily.
However, this situation onlysted for a moment, and Bai Qi once again felt the sensation of fainting. He immediately took an Angel Fruit from Schuck and quickly finished eating it, then the second one, and the third one¡
Finally, when Bai Qi¡¯s replenishment products were about to run out, the Bronze Egg barely took shape.
¡°Goodness, does the evolution of a Lord Level consume so much?¡±
Just now, Bai Qi really felt the arrival of death. If Schuck had injected the needle a little bitter, he might have been killed on the spot.
¡°No way, I have to ask Old Qin for help, or I¡¯ll either die or get heavily injured this time.¡±
Bai Qi, like a homeless wanderer who hadn¡¯t eaten for dozens of days, finished all the rest of the replenishment products but still didn¡¯t get any better. He could only forcibly raise his spirits and send himself out of the secret space.
¡°Let¡¯s temporarily agree on this. As for the specific process, I will find a chance to discuss it in detail with youter.¡±
Zhuge Xu rubbed his round belly, nced around with a cheerful smile, and asked, ¡°By the way, where is Bai Qi?¡±
Zhuge Chen thought for a while and then said, ¡°I just saw him go out. He must have gone to study that mythical material.¡±
¡°This boy, I¡¯ve warned him multiple times that mythical materials aren¡¯t toys. He didn¡¯t go messing with it again, did he?¡±
President Qin¡¯s eye twitched slightly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. Then, when he saw Bai Qi appear in the yard looking no different than a dry corpse, he wasn¡¯t surprised at all.
Just as I thought!
President Qin let out a silent sigh, directly summoned the Light Elf towards Bai Qi, and only after it sprinkled down a light powder did Bai Qi finally recover.
¡°Phew- I¡¯m saved.¡±
Bai Qi straightened up, looking at the Light Elf still hovering overhead, his eyes filled with envy.
If he could have a Light Elf too, then he would not have to worry about this kind of situation anymore.
¡°Bai Qi, did you already use that mythical material to evolve your pet?¡±
Bai Heguang, the legend of the Undead Department, immediate connected the dots after seeing Bai Qi in this state.
¡°Um, yeah.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, confirming Bai Heguang¡¯s deduction from his expression.
President Qin nced at Bai Qi who was still a little weak, and asked, ¡°Heguang, have you seen this situation before?¡±
Bai Heguang nodded and said, ¡°Undead Department pets are more aggressive than pets of other departments. Some high-talent pets would absorb the energy of the Beast Master if there isn¡¯t enough energy during their evolution.¡± ¡°My Jiuyou Darkbird also experienced a simr situation when evoving to the Emperor-level, but at that time I was already a legend and I had prepared enough resources in advance, so I wasn¡¯t affected.¡±
There really is such a thing?
The group of them suddenly realized, and Bai Qi quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
He was worried about how to exin initially, but now Bai Heguang had basically given him a perfect excuse.
It¡¯s decided, he would use this excuse to go to Old Qin for a Light Elf in the future.
Seemingly sensing someone¡¯s malign intent, President Qin suddenly felt annoyed and gave Bai Qi a hard knock on the head.
¡°You rotten boy, do you know that if it weren¡¯t for me just now, you would have died of exhaustion?¡±
Bai Qi innocently spread his hands and said, ¡°How could I knowing Alpha would suddenly evolve, and so dramatically at that.¡±
Bai Heguang suddenly asked, ¡°Did you also carve runes on your pet?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I solidified six runes on Alpha, thinking that I won¡¯t have to do carvings during a fight.¡±
¡°As I thought, runes are the opportunity for evolution, and mythical materials provide the energy needed for evolution, which is why it suddenly evolved.¡±
A light shed in Bai Heguang¡¯s eyes, ¡°Where¡¯s your pet? Summon it and let me see.¡±
Bai Qi nced at the Bronze Egg that was lying quietly in the secret space, shook his head, and said, ¡°It¡¯s still evolving and can¡¯t be summoned at the moment.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded but didn¡¯t say anything further, nor did he show any signs of leaving. The others also quietly stood by, their eyes fixedly on Bai Qi.
They had just been discussing when to try higher-level skeletal creatures, and then Bai Qi made his move. Naturally, they were eagerly awaiting the results. Bai Qi, however, was feeling a tad overwhelmed.
Being stared at by a Titled Legendary, two Masters of the Sunrise Level and two predatory businessmen, Bai Qi admitted he was a bit unnerved.
If they knew about the existence of the Evolution Egg, he¡¯d definitely be in for a rough time.
Finally, under Bai Qi¡¯s anticipatory gaze, the shell around Alpha slowly cracked. Beams of dazzling light seeped out from the gaps, illuminating the Secret Space.
Then, an aura of draconic majesty emanated from the shell, startling the observing Husky into retreating several steps, though it still felt significant pressure.
Being the same Intimidation skill, the Dragon Majesty was stronger than those of other races!
Crack!! Crack!! Crack!!
Under the cover of Evolution Light, the cracks on the Bronze Egg widened. Streams of deep blue energy seeped out from the gaps, and wherever they passed, thend and vegetation rapidly lost their vitality.
Just then, countless pieces of information flooded into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Skill Name]: Dragon Majesty
[Skill Level]: High Stage
[Skill Introduction]: A dragon department skill, a power from the dragon bloodline, which canpletely suppress non-dragon races.
[Skill Name]: Ice Crystal Barrier
[Skill Level]: High Stage
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Ice and Crystal n, able to summon an Ice Crystal Barrier capable of blocking most types of attacks, causing frost damage to attackers.
[Skill Name]: st Crystal Spike
[Skill Level]: High Stage
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Ice and Crystal n, where when the Ice Crystal Barrier is voluntarily or involuntarily shattered, the crystal fragments turn into countless crystal spikes that attack enemies, dealing both physical and frost damage.
The three new skills caused Bai Qi¡¯s expression to be increasingly pleased. Dragon Majesty, a powerful skill far surpassing ordinary Intimidation skills. Unless Alpha encounters other dragons like Bai Qiucha¡¯s Skeleton Dragon or other mythical bloodline creatures, other pets would not be able to fully perform in front of it.
Most importantly, this Dragon Majesty seems to be a passive skill.
As for those two Crystal n skills, there was no need to think about it ¨C they definitely came from the Crystal Dragon Bone.
Arge-scale defensive skill, a group attack skill, the key point being that both were high-stage skills. The effect of the Mythical Material was truly terrifying!
The evolution of Alpha was still ongoing, and only half of the Bronze Egg was left. However, they couldn¡¯t see the actual appearance of Alpha as it was hidden behind the Bronze Light.
Then, Bai Qi received another piece of information.
[Skill Name]: Withering Breath
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Shadow, Ice, and Dragon Department, causing anything within the scope of Withering power to rapidly decay, whether they are living or non-living, they will wither rapidly like flowers. Arghhhhh!!!!
Right now, Bai Qi felt like rushing into the Secret Space to give Alpha a big hug.
Super Skill¡
The Withering Power that can decay everything, could such a skill really exist in a Lord Creature?
Roar!
Apanied by a thunderous roar, the remaining Bronze Egg exploded apart, and Alpha finally broke free from the eggshell.
The nearly two-meter tall figure, bones as clear as the Crystal Dragon Bone, constantly shing an enchanting radiance, there was no sight of the gloominess usually found in undead creatures.
On the spine that snaked like a giant dragon, still emanating a faint Dragon Majesty, six segments shed with the light of Runes.
In its broad palm, it held a deep blue Crystal Great Sword. Theplex runes engraved on it added a hint of mystery to this great sword.
Boom!
Alpha¡¯s momentum exploded once again. The Bronze Eggshell fragments that were sted away earlier immediately flew back and merged into the spine. Instantly, liquid crystal flowed over its body, forming a suit of crystal armour. A lifelike dragon¡¯s head appeared on the armour, projecting a self-imposed majesty.
The crystal continued to spread, forming a dragon-shaped helmet on Alpha¡¯s skull. Only the two fires of its soul continued to flicker.
Finally, Alpha¡¯s transformation ceased, and aplete set of information flooded into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Name]: ??? (Alpha)
[Nature]: Ice n, Undead Department, Dragon Department
[Level]: Second Stage First Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Withering Breath (Preliminary), Dragon Majesty (Preliminary), Skeleton Maniption (Perfect), Ice Crystal Barrier (Skilled), st Crystal Spike (Skilled), Shadow Lotus Skill (Masterful)
[Energy Value]: 186000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Having close to two hundred thousand energy value just after breaking through, when Alpha levels up and improves its skill proficiency, it would be a high-end existence even among the Lords with this type of evolving type.
¡°I¡¯ll call you Withering Dragon Lord..¡±

Upon hearing this, Alpha immediately conveyed an emotion of joy, and therge sword in its hand flew out and rotated in the air before quietly floating behind Alpha.
Wow, such maneuvering, full marks for the hints of sword control.
Woof woof?
(Is this still that stinky bone?)
Looking at Alpha in front of him, who was utterly transformed, Beta curiously used his perception skills. He instantly felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him, and Alpha in front of him was reced by a Crystal Skeleton Dragon.
Howl¡
(Finished, I can¡¯t take revenge now¡)
Feeling the shivers across his body, Beta suddenly felt that his life was hopeless. After Schuck had scanned Alpha, he silently established a file in his brain.
[Schuck & Beta Strengthening n 1.01]:
Beta: Strengthen perception and st power.
Schuck: Upgrade mechanical system, consider fusion with Thunder Stone.
Of course, Bai Qi didn¡¯t understand what Schuck and Beta were thinking. At this moment, he waspletely engrossed in Alpha¡¯s massive transformation, and people outside the secret realm like President Qin also noticed the anomaly in Bai Qi.
Zhuge Chen said, ¡°Has the evolution seeded? Hurry up and summon him to check!¡±
Bai Qi nodded and immediately summoned Alpha.
Crrack¡
The moment Alpha appeared, the Ice Bone in the training room and the other few evolved beasts involuntarily trembled, instinctively lowering their skulls towards Alpha.
The aura of a dragon, it was not something their subordinates could withstand.
¡°This feeling, is it dragon might? Has it evolved to Lord Level? And its level is not low either.¡±
President Qin looked at Alpha for a few moments and quickly determined Alpha¡¯s general situation. Bai Heguang was directly attracted to the withering aura that seemed to exist on Alpha¡¯s body.
The Jiuyou Darkbird, which was originally just stopping in the courtyard, was also attracted by the aura on Alpha¡¯s body. Its body instantly shrank to the size of a sparrow, circled around Alpha for a moment, thennded on Bai Heguang.
¡°Withering power, didn¡¯t expect to see a super skill in a Lord-level creature. Boy, what kind of evolution material did you give your pet?¡±
A crisp, feminine voice came from the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s mouth, immediately attracting Bai Qi and Zhuge Chen¡¯s attention.
I had already heard that legendary creatures could speak humannguages, and could even directly transform into human forms. Now it seems that it¡¯s indeed true.
But, what would the Jiuyou Darkbird look like after transforming?
A bird girl?
Bai Qj paused for a moment and said, ¡°Aside from the Crystal Dragon Bone that Bai Chuanqi just gave me, there are only a few runes.¡±
Really runes?
President Qin and Zhuge Xu looked at each other. Professor Dong was even more unlike his usually calm self, his face showing a trace of the fanaticism unique to schrs, and he started observing Alpha up close.
¡°These six runes have perfectly integrated into the energy conversion system, no, they have be another core of energy conversion.¡±
Professor Dong observed the six runes on Alpha¡¯s spine with a magnifying ss and said, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the runes should function as a converter, distributing the power of the Crystal Dragon Bone more reasonably and perhaps also increasing the upper limit of tolerance.¡±
Professor Dong pushed his sses up and looked at Celestial Brilliance and President Qin, ¡°I suggest to hold a press conference immediately and disclose Bai Qi¡¯s achievements, then promptly set up a special research group to carry out rune evolution experiments on skeletal creatures at various stages.¡±
¡°Bai Qi¡¯s performance in the inter-city joint examination will definitely attract interested people¡¯s attention. If others take the lead, we will suffer a big loss.¡±
Hearing this, President Qin nodded, nced at Bai Heguang who was still keeping a straight face, and said, ¡°Okay, I will arrange it as soon as I go back. As for the patent office, Heguang, you might have to make the trip first.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Although a universal experiment has not yet been conducted, Alpha¡¯s sessful evolution was enough to prove that at least one core patent application could be made.
As for other derivative series, they are not controble, nor is there a need to control them.
As long as you hold the core patent for rune evolution, others must pay patent fees to Bai Qi for whatever they research unless they can bypass the runes.
As for whether someone would dare to default, would you be sure to do so for a patent applied for with the Titled Legendary?
¡°Oh right, Bai Qi, this one of yours¡¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°Wilting Dragon Lord, his new race name.¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°I need to include your Wilting Dragon Lord in the Federation Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook. Come to the association sometime, and I¡¯ll have someone carry out a simple test.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, only the basic information. No skill data or evolution material will be made public.¡±
The Lord-level is a dividing line in the beast¡¯s race value. Below the Lord-level, race data and everything could be disregarded, but everything above Lord-level belonged to the Federation¡¯s strategic resources, and would absolutely not be made public at will.
The reason for the rush to add it to the guidebook, aside from gaining the upper hand, was also considered a preheat before the public disclosure of rune evolution.
¡°In that case, update Beta¡¯s evolution type at the same time.¡±
Upon hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi immediately called out Husky and asked, ¡°Oh right, President, is there a reward for discovering a new evolutionary type?¡±
President Qin:¡±¡¡±
Zhuge Chen:¡±¡¡±
Zhuge Xu:¡±¡¡±
Even the well-experienced President Qin was taken aback at the sight of the two pets before him, both of which lookedpletely different from their peers.
He knew that Husky had merged with a st Stone, and he thought the double-headed wolf model was just Bai Qi¡¯s peculiar taste. Now you¡¯re telling him that this is another new evolutionary type?
¡°Are you sure your talent is Breaking the Void and not evolutionary eleration?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged innocently. He never said his talent had nothing to do with evolution. These Breaking the Void talents were forcefully associated with him in the first ce.
¡°Never mind. Bring it along for updating tomorrow.¡±
President Qin didn¡¯t know what to say about Bai Qi anymore, he continued, ¡°And these days, prepare well, Luo Xiang should being to take you to the headquarters for training.¡±
He had to go to training now? He didn¡¯t even have time to manage his secret grounds.
At least give him some breathing space. Not even mules were treated like this.
Bai Qi looked disappointed. Once you got involved in an organization, you lose all your freedom.
¡°You don¡¯t have to worry, even if Luo Xianges, he has to wait until after the conference ends. You can rest well these few days.¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, looked at Professor Dong, and said, ¡°We¡¯ve been here long enough, we¡¯ll head back now. Remember toe to the association early tomorrow. I¡¯ll have Lao Mo help test your two beasts.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, seeing the two off through the gate. As soon as he turned around, he noticed Celestial Brilliance mounting on the Jiuyou Darkbird and disappearing into the horizon.
Having a flying pet beast sure is convenient. Theye and go as they please.
Speaking of which, he still had a promise of a pet beast from the special training. He wondered if he could pick a flying system beast master.
¡°Ahem, ahem¡¡±
Noticing that Bai Qi seemed lost in thought again, Zhuge Xu cleared his throat, ¡°Bai Qi, let¡¯s discuss that contract now.¡±
Bai Qi suddenly remembered. He had been preupied with the Rune Evolution and had almost forgotten about the most important thing.
Without money, how could he afford to keep the high-maintenance Evolution Egg?
Bai Qi led them to the living room, where Zhuge Xu got straight to the point without any unnecessary chatter.
¡°Our two families have known each other for a long time, and Uncle Zhuge won¡¯t y any tricks on you. As per the previously agreed endorsement fee, I¡¯ll give you an extra ten percent. You won¡¯t need to deliberately promote anything. Do what you need to do with peace of mind, and feel free to take the money.¡±
Getting paid without having to work didn¡¯t feel right. Maybe they should add something else to the equation?
Before Bai Qi could recover from Zhuge Xu¡¯s generosity, Zhuge Xu continued, ¡°However, I want to make an agreement with you. If youe up with something new in the future, please consider working with Elf House first. We will share the profits equally!¡±
At this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, ¡°Uncle Zhuge, aren¡¯t you overestimating me? I¡¯m just a student.¡±
No sooner had he spoken than there was a strange look on the faces of both Zhuge Xu and Zhuge Chen.
Do you still remember that you are just a student? What you are doing now is hardly student-like, is it?
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Zhuge is not trying to pressurize you, just think of it as an early investment.¡±
Sayin this, Zhuge Xu took out a brilliant golden Federation Card and pushed it in front of Bai Qi. ¡°You¡¯ve bagged the top spot in the dual city exams this time, and your Uncle Zhuge doesn¡¯t have much to offer you. There¡¯s a small sum saved in this card, not much, just 10 million Federal Coins, think of it as your pocket money.¡±
Just 10 million? As pocket money?
Well, I suppose I don¡¯t quite understand the world of the rich.
Bai Qi was startled. He was wondering whether he should ept it or not, when Zhuge Chen spoke from the side, ¡°My dad loves to toss money around. If you don¡¯t want it, he¡¯ll just give it to someone else. You shouldn¡¯t be polite.¡± ¡°Stinky boy, what do you mean by ¡®tossing money around¡¯? Is that how you talk about your own father?¡±
Zhuge Xu gave Zhuge Chen a firm knock on the head, then instantly switched back to friendly uncle mode, ¡°But Chen is right. If you don¡¯t ept this, who knows where I might end up squandering it. Just think of it as your first share of dividends.¡±
¡°Then I¡¯ll thank Uncle Zhuge.¡±
Not being modest anymore, Bai Qi picked up the golden card in front of him. Zhuge Xu nodded in satisfaction, ¡°Bai Qi, your pet has just broken through, and you should have a lot of things to handle. We won¡¯t take up any more of your time. Remember to visit Elf House more often if you have time.¡±
¡°I will.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries with Zhuge Xu and his son, and then saw them off.
¡°Phew- Finally, I can thoroughly study Alpha¡¯s new abilities.¡±
Watching Alpha within the yard manipting the giant sword into variousplex moves, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
They say pets reflect their beast masters. That seems reasonable.
¡°Alpha, Schuck, Beta, return to the secret realm first. I want to see what these super abilities that only Lord-level creatures can master actually look like..¡±

Beast Master Association.
¡°Lao Mo, I specifically asked you to stay back as Bai Qi¡¯s evaluator. I hope you don¡¯t think I¡¯m making a big fuss over a small matter.¡±
Upon hearing this, Mo Guan smiled and said, ¡°Given our years of friendship, this is just an evaluation. It won¡¯t take up too much of my time. Besides, I¡¯m curious to see what kind of new evolution Bai Qi can stir up.¡±
Earlier, Luo Xiang had mentioned Bai Qi and his outstanding performance at the joint examination of the two cities had also piqued Mo Guan¡¯s interest.
¡°That¡¯s good. Don¡¯t hesitate to be tough on this kid when the timees.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have everything under control.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s advancement trajectory was extremely smooth, making him an absolute genius in Gusu City. However, those who could be selected for special training were almost all monstrous talents. President Qin was afraid that if Bai Qi flew too high, he would suffer a heavy fall.
Soon, the two of them reached the association¡¯srgest internal battlefield, where a baby-faced teenager was already waiting at the entrance.
¡°Qiu Cha, what brings you here?¡±
President Qin approached the boy and asked, ¡°Did Heguang send you?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, ¡°Not exactly. I just heard that Bai Qi found apletely new evolution for the Ice Shadow Swordsman. I wanted to witness it.¡±
President Qin nodded, ¡°Bai Qi should be arriving soon. But you¡¯ll have to wait outside for a while.¡±
Although the basic information of Bai Qi¡¯s two new evolutionary types will be made public after today¡¯s evaluation, they cannot disclose their specific skill data. Even Bai Qiucha, hailed as the Legendary Son, cannot ess this information.
¡°Understood, I just want to see it firsthand.¡±
Being the first peer to defeat him, Bai Qiucha¡¯s curiosity about Bai Qi far surpassed others. He couldn¡¯t wait to see what kind of evolutionary types Bai Qi coulde up with.
Perhaps they can have another fair battle sometime in the future?
¡°President Qin, Master Mo Guan.¡±
As the three of them waited at the entrance, Bai Qi also arrived at the battlefield. Seeing Bai Qiucha standing off to the side, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised, ¡°Bai Qiucha, what are you doing here?¡±
Bai Qiucha answered, ¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence.¡±
Bai Qiucha did not disclose his true intentions, nor could he articte his reasons.
¡°Oh.¡±
Watching Bai Qiucha looking awkward, Bai Qi shook his head in confusion before turning to President Qin, ¡°Mr. President, shall we start now?¡±
President Qin turned to Mo Guan and said, ¡°Let¡¯s get started.¡±
The three of them entered the battlefield and took their respective positions. With no further ado, Mo Guan activated the golden rune. A huge humanoid creature covered in golden light appeared on the battlefield.
[Name]: Golden Armor Giant Spirit
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
What a splendid pet!
¡°This is my main pet, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit. I will limit its power to less than 1% to ensure a fair fight. Feel free to attack boldly.¡±
Mo Guan, with a smile on his face, asked, ¡°Which pet do you want to test first?¡±
Bai Qi paused for a moment before replying, ¡°Let¡¯s start with the Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf.¡±
Ever since Bai Qi tamed Alpha, it hadn¡¯t actually had a proper battle. Usually, it spent its time absorbing mechanical diagrams. Today, with a free target, it was a great opportunity to try things out.
¡°Okay.¡±
Mo Guan nced at the Golden Armor Giant Spirit, which instantly understood and, shaking its huge body, wrapped itself in ayer of gold armor.
As a renowned defensive master of the Federation, it would be a challenging feat for ordinary legendary pets to breach Mo Guan¡¯s Golden Armor Giant Spirits¡¯ defense. Now, even though it was only using 1% of its power, it was still enough for the Husky to have a field day.
¡°Come out, Schuck-Beta.¡±
Bai Qi signaled with his hand, and the Husky slowly emerged from the green rune. As soon as it arrived, it was taken aback by the sight of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
Woof Woof!
(Human, where did you get this massive chunk of gold? Are you rich?)
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched as he hit Beta on the head, ¡°Idiot, can¡¯t you tell it¡¯s a pet?¡±
Arwoo Arwoo!
(Human, you¡¯re no fun.)
Beta disdainfully looked at Bai Qi, then turned its focus to the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
(Such a big guy¡ He should be worth a lot if sold, right?)
¡°Schuck-Beta, attack the Golden Armor Giant Spirit with all your might.¡±
Woof Woof! (Roger that.)
Both heads responded simultaneously. A mechanical arm sprouted from Schuck¡¯s body. At the end of the arm was a green ring.
¡°Did you give your pet the Secret Realm Ring I gave you?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head innocently, ¡°Uh, is that not allowed?¡±
President Qin was at a loss for words. Generally speaking, during a fight, Beast Masters were allowed to use equipment because it was a part of their abilities, provided it was not overdone.
As for the pets wearing equipment, there was indeed no corresponding provision.
¡°Let¡¯s leave it at that,¡± he said.
President Qin turned his head, not intending to banter with Bai Qi anymore.
Equipment was equipment, Mo Guan was after all a Master of the Sunrise Level. Bai Qi couldn¡¯te up with any exceptional tricks anyways.
Seeing President Qin agree, Schuck immediately connected a strand of spiritual energy to the Secret Realm Ring, and a heap of metal parts poured out from the ring.
Looking at the pile of parts that quickly umted, President Qin¡¯s eyes twitched slightly, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re nning to assemble a weapon on the spot?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and replied, ¡°The Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf has mechanical attributes by nature, so it should be reasonable to use mechanical weapons, right?¡±
¡°Reasonable, of course, reasonable!¡±
President Qin exhaled heavily, forcing himself to calm down. Mo Guan, even more indifferent, waved his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Lao Qin. It¡¯s a test, so naturally we have to push it to the limit. I¡¯ve encountered Mechanical Engineering specialists before.¡±
Hearing Mo Guan speak, President Qin stopped talking, while the pile of parts had already taken shape swiftly under Schuck¡¯s assembly.
Finally, a three-meter-high turret appeared on the battlefield under Schuck¡¯s control, aiming the gun barrel squarely at the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
¡°Because of its own size limit, does it mean you have to assemble additional weapons? The idea is not bad, but it¡¯s too slow in actualbat.¡±
Upon seeing this, Mo Guan immediately gave a straight forward evaluation.
¡°However, being able to assemble its own weapons, your pet should be more on the research side.¡±
Bai Qi paused upon hearing this, admitting, ¡°You could say that.¡±
Whether it was Schuck or Beta, their roles currently seemed to be nothing more than tool dogs, cough, tool wolves. Neither of them had developed muchbat ability.
However, Schuck had recently tinkered with some things, and there might be some surprises.
All of a sudden, Schuck extracted a Thunder Stone and built it into a groove on the turret. At the same time, Beta pressed its own w on the turret.
In an instant, blue and red strands of energy spread rapidly along the gun body, gradually converging towards the muzzle.
¡°Thunder Power and st Power?¡±
Looking at the two forces that were gradually converging at the muzzle, for the first time, Mo Guan¡¯s expression changed. These two forces finally converged.
Boom!
An ear-splitting st was followed by a red-blue beam of light sting out of the muzzle,nding directly on the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
In the stunned looks of Mo Guan and President Qin, the power of Thunderbolt and Firest almost instantly ripped through the Golden Armor¡¯s defense,nding directly on the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
The Golden Armor Giant Spirit instinctively tried to resist, forgetting that it currently possessed only one percent of its power. The golden arm held up in defense for only a few seconds before being burnt through by the power of Thunderbolt and Firest.
Thunder Roar Cannon has arrived!
¡°This¡¡±
Seeing that Husky had indeed broken the power of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit, President Qin was momentarily at a loss for words.
Given the level of Golden Armor Giant Spirit, even one percent of the power was an insurmountable hurdle for a First Stage Husky. Moreover, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit was a defensive pet. Yet, now its front line was sted out so easily?
President Qin nced at Husky, who still bounced around afterunching a terrifying attack, and suddenly felt his world-view refresh.
So the young people today are so powerful?
¡°Lao Qin, I suddenly understand your mood now.¡±
Mo Guan nced at the quickly recuperating Golden Armor Giant Spirit, then looked at the Thunder Roar Cannon, saying, ¡°This kid, he is really capable.¡±
President Qin nodded, looking at the gradually dissipating runes on the Thunder Roar Cannon, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me, you made this thing with a rune too?¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°I was previously trying to create a Thunder-skull, so I tried a few runes of the Thunder power. In the end, it evolved into this.¡±
Initially, he hadn¡¯t thought in this direction, but the enthusiastic Beta beside him came up with the idea after seeing the explosive effect of Thunder Power. Even the usually rational Schuck agreed to this n.
For this, Schuck even put in a Fire Soul Crystal and Red me Iron obtained from the Tower of Gratitude into it, just to withstand the power of Thunder and Fire.
But because of time constraints, today was the first trial. Looking at it, the effect seemed quite good?
President Qin looked at the Thunder Roar Cannon deeply and said, ¡°From now on, during regr battles, you are forbidden from using this, understand?¡±
If even Mo Guan couldn¡¯t withstand it, among those of the same level, President Qin dared to bet, no one was able to withstand such a powerful tool.
¡°President, don¡¯t worry, the Thunder Roar Cannon is currently only a prototype and I won¡¯t use it casually.¡±
Not using the prototype, does that mean you are going to use the final version?
Just as President Qin was about to say something, Husky suddenly sensed something, quickly snatching the Thunder Stone, and ran back. Bai Qi also seemed to realize something and instinctively covered his ears.
Boom!
Under President Qin¡¯s dumbfounded expression, the Thunder Roar Cannon explodedpletely. A huge bang echoed through the battlefield, startling Bai Qiucha who was waiting in the battle room.
Such a huge noise, did Master Mo Guan take action?
Could Bai Qi push Master Mo Guan this far?
Chapter 103 - 102: The Beast Master Has Misled Me!
Chapter 103: Chapter 102: The Beast Master Has Misled Me!
Trantor: 549690339
President Qin gazed at the devastated training ground, his face sullen, and Bai Qi was equally troubled.
Even dog-like splitting couldn¡¯t contain Beta¡¯s unstable explosive talent? It seemed these sort of things should not be handed over to Beta in the future.
¡°Bai Qi, should you dare to bring this thing out during training, you better not return, understood?¡±
If it weren¡¯t for both him and Mo Guan being Masters of the Sunrise Level, they wouldn¡¯t be able to contain the explosion in time. Imagine if it had happened during a battle with a group of lower-ranking Beast Masters, wouldn¡¯t many be finished?
If that were the case, it wouldn¡¯t be a matter of disgracing them, barely avoiding enmity would already be a blessing.
Bai Qi gave a sheepish smile and then, with a fierce punch he sent Beta into the Beast Control Space.
Given the circumstances, it seemed that unless necessary, Beta¡¯s consciousness should remain asleep, Schuck would prove more useful.
Huh?
The husky, who was directly transferred to the Beast Control Space, seemed to perceive Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, and a look of sorrow surfaced on its face.
(No longer loved, eh, reced by a new generation, huh¡)
¡°Who would have thought that this Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf would also be so powerful, I seemingly underestimated you.¡±
Mo Guan looked at the deep pit on the ground left by the Thunder Roar Cannon and said, ¡°However, if we talk purely about its abilities, it should only be at the High-grade Elite level.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. This was consistent with the judgment of the Evolution Egg.
After all, the reason why Husky could cause such arge destruction was mainly due to the amplification by the Thunder Roar Cannon, its real level might just be an Elite Grade.
¡°Alright, now it¡¯s time for the main event, call out the new evolutionary form of Ice Shadow Swordsman to take a look.¡±
The performance of Husky did surprise him somewhat, butparatively, he was more interested in Alpha.
He wanted to find out what a fusion of Mythical Material and Rune Evolution would look like.
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi once again summoned the Array, Alpha, its body reflecting brilliant light, appeared on the battlefield, and a faint air of dragon dominance immediately enveloped the field.
¡°Master, how much power should we release this time?¡±
As Alpha had clearly stronger aura than Husky, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit began to release Intimidation to counter Alpha, and then asked Mo Guan for confirmation.
¡°Uh, lets¡¯s start with ten percent.¡±
Mo Guan thought for a moment, deciding not to be too reckless.
As the defense master of the association and even the Federal Civilization, Mo Guan had evaluated Lord Level creatures before, using about five percent of his power at most.
However, considering Husky¡¯s impressive performance just now, it was better to be safe.
After all, if a two-level junior repeatedly broke through his defense, even if he was going easy on them, it would be somewhat embarrassing if word got out.
Upon receiving themand from his Beast Master, the body of Golden Armor Giant Spirit suddenly swelled up and the golden shield in front of it also solidified considerably.
Although Alpha was just at the Lord Level, the faint air of dragon dominance on Alpha made Golden Armor Giant Spirit take Alpha seriously.
Most crucially, Alpha seemed to carry a power that even it found somewhat daunting.
¡°Well then, let¡¯s get started.¡±
Seeing that both sides were ready, President Qin signaled for the match to start.
¡°Alpha, go.¡±
Crackle, crunch.
(I understand.)
Alpha¡¯s eyes shed momentarily and an ice crystal wall instantly rose before it. The chilling air around the wall caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.
Bang!
Subsequently, Alpha lightly tapped the ice crystal barrier, and the barrier instantly shattered, turning into countless pieces that flew towards the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
Seeing this, Golden Armor Giant Spirit immediately erected a shield to defend, covering most of its massive body. The ice crystal fragments fell onto the shield, making a nging sound.
After releasing ten percent of its power, Golden Armor Giant Spirit had finally revealed the strength of a Defensive King. The ice crystal fragments not only failed to inflict any damage on the golden shield, they shattered on impact. Some fragments were even repelled back.
[Skill Name]: Schizonepeta Shield
[Skill Introduction]: The shield, formed by energy, can deflect part of the damage back to the attacker while resisting the attack.
Just now, if Alpha¡¯s Thunder Roar Cannon hadn¡¯t exceeded Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s estimate and broke the Schizonepeta Shield, it would¡¯ve also reflected part of the thunder-fire power back.
¡°Reflective Shield? This is specially designed to drive close-range fighters into a corner.¡±
Bai Qi immediately figured out the effect of the Schizonepeta Shield and couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips.
If Alpha was in its pre-evolution state, it would definitely be restrained by this ability, a reflective shieldbined with rapid recovery, the Three Heads and Six Arms, or even the Thousand-handed Tathagata, might not be able to withstand it.
But now, it wasn¡¯t anxious at all.
On seeing the quickly rebounding ice crystal fragments, a rune on Alpha¡¯s spine lit up suddenly, and the ice crystal fragments momentarily halted in mid-air.
Maic Superior Rune: Control Object.
As Alpha tilted its head, the ice crystal fragments immediately changed course and flew toward Golden Armor Giant Spirit again. Those that fell to the ground also sprang into the air and joined the stream of ice crystals.
Now with Alpha guiding them actively, the attack angles of the ice crystal fragments became crafty, leaving virtually no blind spots.
Yet, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit was a defense specialist, a master at using the Schizonepeta Shield. No matter how Alpha manipted its strategy, it could not pierce through the Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s defenses. Instead, it was the shard pieces that, under constant rebound damage, gradually reduced to a pile of powder.
¡°Is that all?¡±
Having seen the Husky¡¯s Thunder Roar cannon before, Alpha¡¯s control object attack seemed a bitme inparison.
At the very least, it was not deserving of Alpha¡¯s Lord Level status.
But Bai Qi wasn¡¯t worried. He sent a message to Alpha, and all the icy crystal dust in the sky returned in front of Alpha.
Then, Alpha opened its mouth slightly and let out a deep blue breath that covered the icy crystal dust. The originally transparent crystals instantly shone with deep blue light, looking like a sky full of stars from afar.
Withering Breath.
Seeing Alpha sessfully merging the two skills, Bai Qi felt his blood boiling. Striking a somewhat melodramatic pose, he let out a loud roar.
¡°Alpha, Stardust Spin Attack!¡±
As he finished speaking, the mes in Alpha¡¯s eyes suddenly erupted, and the icy crystals enveloped by the Withering Breath once again flew toward the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
This time, the Schizonepeta Shield could not easily block those crystals. The second the crystals made contact, small pits appeared on the golden shield.
Under the effect of the Withering Power, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit could not quickly repair its Schizonepeta Shield, and could only watch as it gradually eroded.
Alpha noticed this change and once again summoned crystal shards to join the attack, quickly revolving around the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
¡°Incorporating the Withering Breath into the ice crystals to expand the attack area, then using high-speed cutting to erode the enemy, is a pretty good strategy.¡±
Seeing that the Golden Armor Giant Spirit was gradually being suppressed, Mo Guan couldn¡¯t help but admire.
¡°However, this alone will not be enough to break the Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s defense.¡±
Roar!
Just as he finished speaking, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit suddenly roared towards the sky, its body armor shining golden, directly repelling the Withering Ice Crystals that had been cutting around it.
Metal Element Super Skill: Undying Golden Body!
Alpha had used its Super Skill, and the Golden Armor Giant Spirit, relying on just its advanced Schizonepeta Shield, could no longer stand up to the onught. It naturally had to fight back with something of its own.
From a certain perspective, this Undying Golden Body was the Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s trump card.
Indeed, the Undying Golden Body far exceeded the Schizonepeta Shield in both defense and recovery capabilities. The pits that the Withering Ice Crystals had finally corroded were restored almost instantly.
Looking at the immovable Golden Armor Giant Spirit, which resembled an indestructible wall, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Bai Qi¡¯s mouth.
Such a big target shouldn¡¯t be missed.
¡°Alpha, try that.¡±
Gaga?
(Boss, are you sure?)
¡°Sure! This isn¡¯t our house anyway, fire away.¡±
Gaga!
(Alright!)
Alpha nodded, the control runes on its spine suddenly red with light, and the giant sword that had always been floating behind it lifted into the sky. After a spin in the air, it finallynded in Alpha¡¯s hand.
¡°Switching from a high-density attack to a concentrated one, good thinking.¡±
President Qin nodded in satisfaction after seeing this. However, when he thought of Bai Qi¡¯s overly dramatic somersault earlier, he couldn¡¯t help butin, ¡°Can¡¯t you draw your sword in a normal position?¡±
He had put up with Bai Qi arriving on a flying sword during thepetition for mboyance, but doing the same during battle crossed the line for President Qin.
He needed to properly chastise this kid, or else he would get too carried away.
President Qin gave Mo Guan a discreet look, who immediately got the message. The Golden Armor Giant Spirit was all set up, ready to counterattack.
Though it specialized in defense, it didn¡¯t mean it couldn¡¯t attack. At the very least, it was more than capable of giving Bai Qi a lesson.
However, before the Golden Armor Giant Spirit could initiate its attack, Alpha suddenly raised the Crystal Great Sword, and all the Withering Ice Crystals gathered towards it, instantly forming a ten-meter-long great sword.
But it didn¡¯t stop there. After the great sword was formed, Alpha¡¯s arms were quickly wrapped around each other and transformed into the shape of a dragon¡¯s head, tightly gripping the sword¡¯s hilt. At the same time, it let out a Withering Breath, covering the sword.
¡°Splitting into two with one sh, Withering Divine Sword!¡±
Bai Qi raised his right hand and waved toward the Golden Armor Giant Spirit. Synchronously, Alpha made a shing motion towards the Undying Body of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit with the Withering Sword.
Boom!
The Withering Great Sword heavily shed onto the Undying Golden Body, and the Golden Armor Giant Spirit immediately felt a massive forceing from the sword. It stumbled and almost lost bnce.
What a powerful sword!
The Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s eyes were full of golden light. It tried to push the great sword away with all of its strength, only to discover that its Unyielding Golden Body, which had never been broken by a non-Legendary Pet Beast before, was melting rapidly like butter in heat. The sword almost instantly arrived at the Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s head.
This is going too far!
A sh of panic shed in the Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s eyes. It tried to remove the power limit but it was already toote. It could only watch helplessly as the sword got closer and closer.
The Withering Power was a superior power of the Shadow and Ice n elements. Even though it had self-healing skills, being injured by this power would cause severe damage even if it managed to heal.
¡°Damn that Beast Master!¡±
Chapter 104 - 103: A Familiar Routine
Chapter 104: Chapter 103: A Familiar Routine
Trantor: 549690339
Beast Master Association.
The central battlefield.
Bai Qiucha, who was waiting outside the door, was once again drawn in by the massive stir from inside, growing ever more curious about the ongoing battle.
Listening to the hubbub, it seemed that Master Mo Guan was genuinely pulling out all the stops. It looked like Bai Qi¡¯s pace of improvement had far exceeded her own estimation.
After all, how could someone capable of defeating her be just an average person!
Crack!
The door slowly opened. Bai Qiucha immediately rushed forward, only to see Mo Guan emerge with a solemn expression on his face.
Behind Mo Guan, President Qin, on the other hand, wore a broad smile and was continuously chatting with Bai Qi.
President Qin, in a good mood, patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, saying, ¡°Well call it a day with the evaluation. Go back and rest well. There¡¯s a press conference in a few days, and we don¡¯t want you to appear worn out.¡±
¡°Okay, President.¡±
Bai Qi nodded mechanically, still pondering his earlier battle.
The Withering Divine Sword indeed broke through the Undying Golden Body of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit during the battle, but midway through the strike, Alpha had some trouble controlling the trajectory of the oversized sword and diverted it to the side.
Theplexity of blending two abilities was indeed a little high¡ no, it might be due to low proficiency.
But mastering this Super Skill certainly wasn¡¯t easy!
Bai Qi shook his head slightly in disappointment, while Mo Guan, watching him, felt as if he had swallowed a fly ¡ª his difort increasing considerably.
Though that sword strike had merely grazed the Golden Armor Giant Spirit¡¯s scalp, causing no harm at all, the oue was far less satisfying than if the Giant Spirit had taken a full-on blow from the Withering Divine Sword.
If it weren¡¯t for Bai Qi¡¯s low level, and the fact that he was only here to evaluate Alpha, Mo Guan would have not hesitated topete with Bai Qi today.
¡°Lao Mo, let¡¯s go. We haven¡¯t drunk together in a long time. Tonight, we¡¯ll have a grand feast, my treat!¡±
Having a splendid day, President Qin grabbed a frowning Mo Guan and headed straight to his office, leaving Bai Qiucha utterly confused.
All the grim faces suggested that the evaluation didn¡¯t go well¡
But why was President Qinughing so heartily then?
Confusing.
Giving up on the matter, Bai Qiucha turned to Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Can you tell me about your beast¡¯s new evolved form?¡±
Bai Qi, still brooding over his fight mistakes, countered, ¡°New evolved form? Which one are you referring to?¡±
Which one? So, there¡¯s more than one?
Bai Qiucha was taken aback. She was about to inquire further, but noticed that Bai Qi had already wandered off.
¡°Nevermind, I will ask him next time.¡±
Shaking her head in disappointment, Bai Qiucha made her way toward the Tower of Gratitude.
Upon Bai Qi¡¯s suggestion that he study runes, Bai Qiucha had invested a lot of time into it.
However, it seemed he didn¡¯t have much of a knack for runes; just looking at them gave him a headache.
With the word that Bai Qi had developed a new evolved form, he had intended to take a look and perhaps glean some insight, but now that Bai Qi had left, he resigned himself to continuing his attempted breakthrough.
Jiuding Mall.
¡°Hello, may I assist you with something?¡±
Just as Bai Qi stepped into the Jiuding Mall, an elegant female receptionist immediately rushed forward to wee him.
¡°I¡¯d like to see if there¡¯s arge-scale energy system avable for purchase.¡±
The receptionist¡¯s eyes lit up, her smile beaming brighter, ¡°We at Jiuding Mall are one of the Federation¡¯srgest mechanical marketces. We certainly have energy systems. However, could you specify the magnitude of the one you are seeking?¡±
Bai Qi pondered this for a moment, ¡°It doesn¡¯t need to be anything huge. An Ark Level should suffice.¡±
Ark, Ark Level?
You nning on constructing a battleship or something?
The receptionist¡¯s smile instantly froze before she awkwardly exined, ¡°Apologies, sir. Ark Level energy is considered a strategic resource and requires a report to be filed with the Beast Master Association.¡±
¡°Simply report to the Association? That¡¯s good, I thought it would be quite the hassle.¡±
Upon hearing the receptionist¡¯s response, Bai Qi was finally able to rx.
Considering the destructive power of Alpha and Husky in their current states, their training areas needed careful design, certainly requiring substantial energy.
Improving the growth environment for the Angel¡¯s Flower and the other nts transferred from Danggu Mountain were also energy-intensive.
Furthermore, considering Schuck¡¯s gradually progressing mastery over mechanical blueprints, the number of pieces of equipment that would be needed was set to increase. Therefore, Bai Qi decided to directly opt for an Ark Level energy system.
Although there were higher levels of energy systems like Catastrophe and Star, those were beyond his imagining.
Poor!
Still, poor!
Bai Qi sighed, and the receptionist beside him finally reacted, saying, ¡°Then, sir, may I show you to our energy area?¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, intending to follow when a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder, attempting to pull him away.
However, thanks to Bai Qi¡¯s routine torments by the Evolution Egg and Alpha¡¯s recent breakthrough to Mid-Level Lord ¡ª which had given him a significant burst of adaptive physical enhancement ¡ª Bai Qi merely shook a little before shaking the hand off.
Could this be another troublemaker?
Turning around, Bai Qi saw an arrogant-looking man scrutinizing him.
¡°I thought the top student in the two cities¡¯ joint exam would be some formidable figure, turned out it¡¯s just an ordinary character like you. What a letdown.¡±
¡°Xia Xuan losing to you was simply careless.¡±
Really now¡
Rendered speechless, Bai Qi nced at the man, immediately turned around, and followed the saleswoman. ¡°Do you have any ongoing promotions here, like any discounts¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi tantly ignoring him, Wu Yi couldn¡¯t help but turn livid. He hastily stepped in front of Bai Qi, saying: ¡°Young man, don¡¯t be so arrogant. I¡¯m this year¡¯s provincial exam top scorer, far superior to the likes of you from some remote city.¡±
So, he came here for attention?
¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t know you, and I don¡¯t have the time to entertain you. If you¡¯re bored, go right out the door and turn left into the Haoli Dojo. There¡¯s a group of burly men there who can entertain you for an entire day.¡±
After saying that, Bai Qi intended to brush past Wu Yi. But Wu Yi clearly had no intention of letting Bai Qi off so easily, he snorted: ¡°My family owns a share in Jiuding Mall, believe it or not, I can make your purchase fail.¡±
¡°You own shares in it?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s expression changed, he looked at Wu Yi in surprise.
Wu Yi reveled in Bai Qi¡¯s reaction, he nodded satisfactorily: ¡°Of course, you¡¯d better treat me nicely if you want to buy something here.¡±
¡°Do you have the authority to write off the bill?¡±
Caught off guard by Bai Qi¡¯s question, Wu Yi hesitated, instinctively recalling the conversation about the Energy System earlier.
Although his family owned a share in Jiuding Mall, his share was minuscule. He could let go of purchases amounting to a few tens of millions, but the cheapest Energy System was priced at more than tens of millions. If his dad found out, he would undoubtedly yell at him.
¡°So, you can¡¯t.¡±
Seeing Wu Yi hesitant, Bai Qi sighed disappointedly.
As expected, only Xia Xuan would prove useful. Not everyone could turn into a wealth dispenser.
¡°Wait, I ll write it off. But you have to spar with me first!¡±
Oh, herees the familiar trap again?
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, saying: ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll spar with you. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. If I win, I get a Catastrophe-level Energy System for free.¡±
¡°Catastrophe Level? Weren¡¯t you just asking about the Ark¡¡±
Wu Yi¡¯s statements were cut off by Bai Qi¡¯s contemptuous look.
¡°Catastrophe it is then, I won¡¯t lose anyway!¡±
Although Gusu City had seen a surge in recent years, the overall level of Beast Masters could not bepared to that of the provincial cities.
¡°Then it¡¯s settled, whoever backs out is a dog.¡±
Awooo?
(What has the dog done to you? Is it right to disparage a dog like that?)
Once Bai Qi made this statement, Wu Yi found himself at a loss for words. Facing the direction of the Jiuding Mall¡¯s battlefield, he trudged along, and Bai Qi calmly followed him.
Arriving at the battlefield, Wu Yi cleared all the referees and spectators, even shutting down the surveince systems.
The news of Xia Xuan losing to Bai Qi twice had spread through their circle because of employee whistleblowers. Wu Yi naturally wouldn¡¯t repeat this blunder.
¡°To save time, we ll conduct a ivl match. Whoever¡¯s pet beast loses itsbat capability first, loses.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and both of them began to summon their pet beasts.
Due to the recent fight, Alpha¡¯s energy value was down to about 20% to 30%, roughly around 30 to 4.0 thousand, so it appeared somewhat lethargic.
In contrast, as soon as Wu Yi¡¯s Array appeared, it illuminated the entire field with a dazzling light. Bai Qi had to shield his eyes.
¡°How is it? As a person from a small city like yours, you probably haven¡¯t seen a high-end pet beast like Goddess Butterfly.¡±
Looking at the gigantic white butterfly in front of him that radiated a blinding light, Wu Yi waspletely infatuated.
Such a beautiful, elegant, and powerful pet beast was the perfect match for a genius like him.
Well, Xia Xuan didn¡¯t count.
¡°Light department?¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Compared to the Undead Department, the number of Light Department pet beasts was rtively smaller. Apart from their rarity, the other big issue was their cultivation materials.
But rich young masters like these, who didn¡¯tck money, could indeed afford to breed them.
¡°Let¡¯s start then.¡±
Looking at Wu Yi, who was confident of his victory, Bai Qi signaled for the match to start.
¡°Ha- A beast from the Undead Department dares topete with my Goddess Butterfly. What a humbling experience.¡±
After observing Alpha¡¯s Crystal Skeleton, Wu Yi¡¯s worries hadpletely disappeared.
Even if it was a Legendary Pet Beast, under the same level, the Light Department suppressed the Undead Department. If he still lost, he might as well dig a hole and bury himself in it.
¡°Let¡¯s begin then.¡±
Wu Yi gestured to signify the start of the match and immediately gave the Goddess Butterfly instructions without waiting for Bai Qi to react.
¡°Goddess Butterfly, activate the Lament of the Light Goddess!¡±
Chapter 105 - 104: That’s it?
Chapter 105: Chapter 104: That¡¯s it?
Trantor: 549690339
Lamentation of the Goddess of Light?
It sounded quite formidable!
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately dropped his contempt, gesturing for Alpha to be careful. Meanwhile, the Goddess Butterfly had already made its move. A series of radiant lights appeared on its pair of massive wings. The lights grew brighter and brighter until they transformed into a beam of light that shot directly towards Alpha.
The light beam was incredibly fast and wherever it passed, it was burned into nothingness by it. One could imagine what would happen when touched by it.
As the valedictorian of the provincial capital, Wu Yi¡¯s strength was undoubtedly excellent. One of his winning proactive methods was this fast-acting, equally potent Lamentation of the Goddess of Light!
A mere Undead Department creature would basically meet its fate of purification once it was exposed to Lamentation Light.
Thinking about this, an image of a distraught Bai Qi appeared in Wu Yi¡¯s mind, and he couldn¡¯t help but chuckle a little.
¡°Watch out!¡±
Just then, Bai Qi suddenly shouted a warning from the opposite side. Before Wu Yi could react, he saw a bright light in front of him and instinctively turned his head to avoid it.
A bolt of white light flew past Wu Qi¡¯s scalp. His well-groomed hairstyle was instantly cut off arge chunk. One could even directly see his scalp.
But Wu Yi didn¡¯t care about his image at the moment. He was merely staring in amazement at the almost invisible crystal wall in front of Alpha.
¡°What is this thing?!¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, with no intention of exining to Wu Yi.
Seeing Wu Yi¡¯s previous stance, Bai Qi thought that Lamentation of the Goddess of Light would be terrifying. But it didn¡¯t even break through the Ice Crystal Barrier, and it was reflected back instead.
Had the provincial capital deteriorated to this level? This intensity didn¡¯t even exceed Gu Shan¡¯s skill.
Perhaps detecting Bai Qi¡¯s disdain, Wu Yi was somewhat irritated. He gave the Goddess Butterfly anothermand.
However, Bai Qi no longer wanted to waste any more time with Wu Yi. He gestured towards Alpha, and a vast dragonic aura burst forth from Alpha. The Goddess Butterfly¡¯s half-released skill was interrupted, and it started to tremble on the spot.
In front of Alpha¡¯s dragonic power mixed with attributes of Crystal Dragon and Undead System, the Goddess Butterfly, being of insect system, didn¡¯t even think of counter-attacking, but instead directly fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight.
Was that it?
I hadn¡¯t even exerted my power, and you¡¯re already down?
The valedictorian of the provincial capital, was that your level?
¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need topete anymore, right?¡±
Bai Qi dismissed Alpha and walked up to Wu Yi. Only then did Wu Yi react. Looking at the Goddess Butterfly, which hadpletely lost the ability to fight, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I admit defeat.¡±
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face. He said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble the valedictorian Wu to arrange my Catastrophe-level Energy. There¡¯s no need for you to deliver it, I¡¯ll fetch it myself.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Wu Yi¡¯s face became even more unsightly, but his face suddenly lit up as he had an idea. He stood up and said, ¡°Okay, I will arrange it for you right away!¡±
Having said that, Wu Yi immediately ran towards the outside, showing no signs of dragging his feet.
¡°Wow, he¡¯s so generous. Losing millions of Federal Coins without batting an eyelid. Now that¡¯s what I call wealthy!¡±
Seeing how straightforward Wu Yi was, Bai Qi was even more convinced that money was a good thing. He followed after Wu Yi.
Due to the size of the energy system, the Energy Area upied an entire floor, and something like the Catastrophe-level Energy even had its own storage room.
After all, there were certain risks associated with the energy system. If they were piled up together carelessly, it could easily lead to explosion.
¡°Here, this one just arrived today. It¡¯s brand new and unopened. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
Wu Yi pointed at a massive circr energy system in front of him with a diameter of around ten meters and said, ¡°But are you sure you don¡¯t need me to arrange for people to send it to your house?¡±
¡°No need to go through that trouble. I will just take it directly.¡±
After a brief inspection by Bai Qi and confirming that it was indeed a genuine product, he took out the Secret Realm Ring and put it into the Secret Realm.
A Secret Realm Ring?
Hadn¡¯t it been said that this guy was just an ordinary civilian without any significant background? How could he have such an invaluable item?
Wu Yi suddenly left in a tense mood, wanting to say something but eventually saying nothing.
¡°Phew, it¡¯s the first-time I¡¯m receiving something so big, I¡¯m a bit overwhelmed.¡±
After confirming that the Catastrophe-level Energy was sessfully put in the Secret Realm, Bai Qi felt a bit dizzy. He quickly took out a bottle of God¡¯s Water and took a few sips. After that, he waved at Wu Yi and said, ¡°Thanks a lot for your help this time. I still want to continue shopping around. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±
With the 10 million Federal Coins he had nned to use to buy the energy system saved, Bai Qi was naturally going to go on a good shopping spree. There were still many things in Jiuding Mall that he couldn¡¯t buy from the Association.
¡°Mr. Wu, wasn¡¯t that Catastrophe Series Energy system returned? Will this¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi leaving, an employee couldn¡¯t help but speak up but he was immediately shut up by Wu Yi.
¡°So much nonsense. It was originally supposed to be destroyed. You¡¯d better act as if you don¡¯t know anything.¡±
¡°Oh¡¡±
The employee lowered his head in disappointment and didn¡¯t say another word.
Finding a good job isn¡¯t easy, he better not meddle in others¡¯ affairs.
In the Secret Realm.
Having picked up a Catastrophe-level Energy, Bai Qi was in a great mood. He splurged in Jiuding Mall. If it weren¡¯t for his bnce running out again, Bai Qi might have continued to shop for a while longer.
¡°These materials should be enough for now. Next, it¡¯s off to training camp, I shouldn¡¯t need any more stuff.¡±
Looking at the pile of materials in front of him, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He then called Husky and together they went to the Catastrophe-level Energy.
¡°Wow¡ a Catastrophe-level energy system that can provide a year¡¯s worth of energy for a small city¡¯s shelter. This really is a strategic energy system! We¡¯ve really hit the jackpot this time!¡±
Bai Qi, his grin wide, said, ¡°Schuck, let¡¯s activate it first and see, then we can n out our next steps.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
Schuck was just as excited. With ess to such an energy system, he would be able to delve into mechanical manuals that had been beyond his reach.
Having in his possession up to the sixth stage of mechanical manuals, Schuck activated the energy system after some exploratory touching. A breathtaking glow of energy instantly illuminated the Secret Realm, leaving Bai Qi dumbstruck.
¡°Despite the protectiveyer, there¡¯s such a strong sense of intimidation. If it exploded¡ I don¡¯t think anyone would survive.¡±
In this moment, Bai Qi finally understood why the energy systems of Ark Level and above were treated as strategic resources.
Leaving everything else aside, the damage caused by a single explosion from this energy system was far beyond what a ferocious beast could create.
¡°I¡¯ll have to leave Old Qin a message about this, so no one gets the idea we¡¯re terrorists.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, deciding to connect a device and test the effects.
Just then, the once radiant energy system flickered before gradually dimming and eventually shutting downpletely.
¡°Schuck, did you turn off the power?¡±
Shaking his head, Schuck replied, ¡°No, I was investigating how the energy works.¡±
¡°Then is it possible that Beta touched it?!¡±
An ominous thought crossed Bai Qi¡¯s mind, and instinctively, he nned to leave the Secret Realm.
Given Beta¡¯s hidden unstable explosive talent, if it had touched the energy system¡
At that thought, Bai Qi quit considering the materials he still hadn¡¯t heated up and nned to scoot with his twin pets.
Woof woof woof!
(Human, you can doubt me, but never challenge my dog pride!)
Beta red at Bai Qi with a look of defiance. Bai Qi rolled his eyes and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That¡¯s a relief, but he would need to warn Schuck to be more careful in the future. If there were any explosions, this Secret Realm would be wasted.
¡°Did it malfunction for no reason, or did Wu Yi give me a defective product?¡±
Recalling Wu Yi¡¯s previous strange behavior, Bai Qi quickly came to his senses.
Wu Yi¡¯s change in attitude from before had slipped right past him due to his intensive study of runes. Now it seemed he had been fooled.
However, Bai Qi had no ns to bother Wu Yi about it.
After all, he had received the system for free, and the sheer mass of the thing was worth a lot if sold by weight.
From a certain point of view, he didn¡¯t lose out.
¡°Schuck, first check and see what the problem is. If it can be fixed, we should do so.¡±
Schuck nodded and one man and his dog began checking the Catastrophe Energy System.
A Catastrophe-level energy system isn¡¯t ordinary machinery, so this was Bai Qi¡¯s first time seeing one. While Schuck had the mechanical manual, it didn¡¯t include Catastrophe-level energy systems.
So, one man and his dog decided to use this opportunity to thoroughly research thisrge-scale energy system.
After a long while¡
One man and his dog copsed on the ground, looking helplessly at the energy system that remained motionless.
They hadbed through every part of the energy system that could be dismantled and inspected, but found no issues.
On the contrary, the energy system seemed perfectly normal.
¡°So, there might be some problem on the inside?¡±
Hearing this, Schuck nodded, saying, ¡°I think so, but we don¡¯t have the ability to dismantle the internal core, and it¡¯s too dangerous.¡±
The core of the Catastrophe-level energy is extremely dangerous, so it is securely sealed within the most central part of the system.
Apart from the manufacturer who produced this energy system, no one else can take it apart.
Do you want to try to forcefully break it?
Okay, make sure to purchase arge amount of insurance beforehand.
¡°Forget it, leave it for now. Some other day, I¡¯ll ask Professor Chu if he can fix it.¡±
Bai Qi stood up helplessly, ready to seek other solutions.
Woof woof woof!
Just as Bai Qi was preparing to leave due to the uneventful situation, Beta, who was a bit bored due to Bai Qi¡¯s restrictions, suddenly sniffed the air. Then, taking control from Schuck, he began sniffing around the Catastrophe Energy System.
Had he detected something?
Seeing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. He closely watched every move Beta made, and when Beta stopped, he was on edge.
Not because Beta found something, but because the dog was starting to umte st Power in his ws.
¡°You stupid dog! Are you trying to kill us both?!¡±
Sighting Beta¡¯s move, Bai Qi was about to use his bond to forcefully recall Beta back. Suddenly, a green figure emerged from the energy system and attached itself to Beta¡¯s w.
Looking at the green jelly like substance on Husky¡¯s paw, Bai Qi was dumbfounded.
What¡ was it?
Chapter 106 - 105: The Sorrow of Beta
Chapter 106: Chapter 105: The Sorrow of Beta
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi leaned in for a closer look, scanning up and down until he quickly identified the identity of this blob of jelly.
A Slime Monster?
Isn¡¯t this thing usually used for garbage disposal year-round? How did it get into the energy system?
Before Bai Qi could figure out the reason, Beta suddenly looked horrified and threw the Slime Monster straight out.
Woof! Woof!
(Human, this thing is absorbing my energy!)
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow at this, giving Alpha a look. Alpha immediately understood what he meant. Six small ice crystal barriers immediately formed in the air, turning into an Ice Crystal Box that enclosed the Slime Monster.
Walking to the ice box, Bai Qi saw a red energy slowly flowing inside the green body of the Slime Monster, it was indeed Beta¡¯s st Power.
Well, other Slime Monsters may just feed on some metal products, but this thing even swallowed the st Power.
Speaking of which, was the Catastrophe Systempromised because of this thing?
A Slime Monster with the same status in the Alien Series as Alpha used to have?
Buzz buzz!
Just then, the Evolution Egg started to shake violently, sending out a wave of long-absent fluctuations.
Was this Slime Monster a mutant species?!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up immediately, intending to let Alpha release it so he could study this little guy properly. However, the st Power in the Slime Monster suddenly surged and blew the Slime Monster into countless pieces.
Looking at the remnants of the Slime Monster¡¯s body, which hadpletely dyed the whole Ice Crystal Box green, Bai Qi felt a bit perplexed.
This mutant species didn¡¯t even get warm, no wrong, it was gone before it even got warm?
Thinking of the fact that he had just missed out on such good progress, Bai Qi red at Beta, who lookedpletely innocent.
Awu?
(It attacked me by itself, are you ming me?)
Just as Bai Qi was about to give this dumb dog a good lesson, a strange sound came from inside the ice box. The green liquid slowly gathered together and once again formed into the shape of a Slime Monster.
However,pared to its previous green appearance, there were now some red lines on its body.
Kapok kapok.
The Slime Monster seemed to have developed a strong interest in Beta, two watery eyes popped out of its fluid body, staring firmly in Beta¡¯s direction.
It was unscathed even after being blown up from the inside by the st Power, was this little guy still a Slime Monster?
¡°Alpha, let it out.¡±
Bai Qi gestured to Alpha to release it. Once the Slime Monster regained its freedom, it immediately hopped over to the husky.
Awu?
Beta was about to run away at the sight, a Slime Monster that couldn¡¯t explode was not a good piece of art.
¡°Beta, don¡¯t move. Let it absorb!¡±
Seeing Beta trying to escape, Bai Qi immediately forbade Beta from moving. Beta was reluctant, but it had no choice but to give up resistance under the watchful eyes of the sneaky Schuck.
Soon, the Slime Monster reached Beta¡¯s body. After circling around Beta, it seemed to be looking for something.
Bai Qi understood immediately and said, ¡°Beta, release a bit of your st Power and see.¡±
Helplessly sighing, Beta condensed a small strand of st Power at its paw.
Kapok kapok!
Seeing this, the Slime Monster immediately followed Beta¡¯s body to its paw and carefully wrapped up the st Power.
As expected, the strand of st Power was absorbed into the Slime Monster¡¯s body after being wrapped up by the Slime Monster, and resulted in a series of subtle explosions in its body.
This time, the body of the Slime Monster didn¡¯t blow up into pieces, it just swelled slightly and returned to its original state.
This little guy, he took a good beating!
Bai Qi was getting more and more interested in this Slime Monster as he ced his hand on it.
[Name]: Slime Monster
[Nature]: Alien Series (PhysicalMutations)
[Level]: Zero Stage Nine Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servants
[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption, Mimicry, Corrosion, Toxin Resistance, zing Resistance, Radiation Resistance, Current Resistance¡
[Energy Value]: 2400
[Condition]: Evolvable
It is indeed a mutant species!
Looking at the ¡®Physical Mutations¡¯ behind the properties of the Slime Monster, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud.
This time, not only did I get a free Catastrophe System, I also got a mutant species. Wu Yi really is a benefactor!
Xia Xuan¡¯s status is reduced by one¡
¡°But what¡¯s with this little guy¡¯s abnormal energy level and all those resistances¡¡±
Seeing the long list of resistance skills behind the Slime Monster, Bai Qi suddenly realized why this creature could survive inside the Catastrophe System.
¡°The zing Resistance, was it generated because it absorbed the st Power?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Slime Monster, which was anxiously circling around Beta because it couldn¡¯t absorb the st Power, and then at Beta, who had a miserable expression on his face. A strange smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
¡°Beta, you¡¯ll be taking care of this little guy from now on!¡±
Woof!
(Human, are you sure you¡¯re speaking humannguage!)
The Husky red fiercely, wishing it could tear open Bai Qi¡¯s brain to see what he was really thinking. On the other hand, the Slime Monster seemed to understand Bai Qi¡¯s words. It jumped onto Beta¡¯s head with a slither, curiously looking at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi grew more satisfied seeing the Slime Monster¡¯s level of intelligence. He said, ¡°Little guy, would you like to stay here with me? Three meals a day, guaranteed!¡±
Ka-plop, ka-plop.
The Slime Monster paused for a moment, then, mimicking Bai Qi, it formed a hand and waved it at him.
¡°Is that¡ five meals a day?¡±
Ka-plop, ka-plop.
The Slime Monster withdrew its hand and then stuck back onto Beta¡¯s head, not moving anymore.
Alien Series, like the Undead Department, does not have the concept of sleep, but they still need rest.
The Slime Monster seemed to have eaten its fill.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect this Slime Monster was a glutton. It¡¯s easy to coax.¡±
Seeing the Slime Monster acting like it wanted to stay on Beta, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. Beta, on the other hand, looked miserable as it tried unsessfully to shake off the Slime Monster.
¡°Leave it. It¡¯s good this way.¡±
Bai Qi glimpsed at the striking green on Husky¡¯s head and held back hisughter, ¡°The color suits you. Don¡¯t take it off.¡±
With this explosion-proof, energy-absorbing Slime Monster around, he didn¡¯t have to worry about being blown up by Beta¡¯s art someday.
Upon hearing those words, Beta immediately red at Bai Qi, wanting to fight him. But after seeing the restless Alpha behind Bai Qi, it gave up.
A dog takes its revenge, not even ten years toote.
Once this dog had honed its skill, it would surely give this rotten bone a good beating!
¡°Schuck, check the Catastrophe System again to see if there¡¯s any problem.¡±
Schuck nodded and restarted the Catastrophe System. The previously calm Slime Monster, smelling a familiar scent, immediately woke up.
Ka-plop, ka-plop.
Seeing the familiar food in front of it, the Slime Monster instinctively wanted to leave Beta¡¯s head and return to the Catastrophe System. Beta looked relieved.
With this thing with him, how could this dog properly research art!
However, the Slime Monster seemed unable to resist the allure of st Power. After wavering for a while, it returned to Beta¡¯s head.
Awooo!!!
(This dog¡¯s artistic life¡ is over¡)
Beta howled to the sky in sorrow, but it was immediately electrocuted into unconsciousness by Schuck halfway through its howl.
The power of the Thunder Stone also caught the Slime Monster¡¯s attention, but it seemed to only be able to absorb power that was released out. After circling around Schuck¡¯s mechanical body for a while, it gave up.
¡°The Catastrophe System is working perfectly fine. It was just the Slime Monster disturbing the energy flow, causing the Catastrophe System to malfunction,¡±
Schuck looked at the Slime Monster on Beta¡¯s head, ¡°Being able to withstand the power of the Catastrophe System and resist st Power, I¡¯d rmend the Beast Master consider it as the third pet.¡±
A contract with the Slime Monster?
Bai Qi was torn.
Mutant species are met by chance, not sought. This Slime Monster indeed had value for contract.
But the pet he wanted for the third contract was a Flying System pet!
Star Mechanics Academy.
As the summer vacation started, all students left the campus to enjoy their fun- filled holidays.
However, the academy was not deserted. Instead, it was bustling with peopleing and going.
¡°As expected, my decision toe to the urban area was right!¡±
Lu Yuan passed through the crowded people, looking at the new teaching building and the huge que in front of him with a satisfied smile.
¡°Star Mechanics Academy Undead Department¡±
When he first heard that Celestial Brilliance would settle in Gusu City, he spected and specifically headed for thepetitive urban area to learn, hoping to catch the first wave of undead craze.
But then, several issues arose in Gusu City. He never heard more news about the establishment of the Undead Department and gradually gave up.
However, just when the thought was fading away, the academy abruptly announced the opening of the Undead Department and invited Celestial Brilliance to be the honorary dean.
The moment this news came out, countless young Undead Department Beastmasters across the Federation rushed to Gusu City Star Mechanics Academy to apply. Everyone hoped to be taught by Celestial Brilliance.
Without Gusu City¡¯s favoritism towards local students, Lu Yuan seriously doubted whether he could get in.
Lu Yuan was about toplete the registration as soon as possible and find a good spot in the conference hall when he noticed Bai Qi squeezing through the crowd from afar.
¡°What¡¯s that guy doing here in the Undead Department?¡±
Lu Yuan was puzzled. He stepped forward, and Bai Qi also noticed him, ¡°Lu Yuan, you¡¯re here too?¡±
¡°That question should be mine.¡±
Lu Yuan pointed speechlessly at the nearby Undead Department building, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m here to enroll in the Undead Department. What else could I be doing?¡±
¡°Oh, I see.¡±
Bai Qi realized, ¡°I was wondering why there were so many people today. So the enrollment has started, huh?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s palpably out-of-touch expression, Lu Yuan mentally shook his head.
You are a student of Star Mechanics Academy after all; you could at least show some interest in your own academy.
Lu Yuan sighed, ¡°I heard that a new evolution method of Undead Department will be announced in the opening ceremony. Your main pet is an undead. Maybe you¡¯d like to listen too, it might be helpful.¡±
¡°Oh, okay, thanks.¡±
Bai Qi nodded at Lu Yuan¡¯s words. He had always seen Lu Yuan as a quiet person and was surprised at his helpfulness.
Only, what would happen when Lu Yuan finds out that the new evolution method was developed by him? Would hee after Bai Qi?

Star Mechanics Academy Undead Department.
The press conference hadn¡¯t started yet, but the auditorium capable of amodating a thousand people simultaneously was already at full capacity.
When the news that the Legendary Celestial Brilliance was going to be the head of the Undead Department at Star Mechanics Academy came out, it created quite an uproar across the Federation.
A Titled Legendary, one of the most distinguished among Legendary Beast Masters, such presence wasmanding respect wherever they go, almost an ethereal existence.
In particr, the Undead Department Titled Legendary ¡°Celestial Brilliance¡± ¨C Bai Heguang, was famously independent among the legends.
Such an entity¡¯s agreement to be the head of a college was shocking, even though it was just an honorary position without administrative responsibilities.
Because of this, after the news came out, masters of the Sunrise Level across the Federation and even legends all flocked to Gusu City.
Aside from wanting to personally verify the truth of the message, they had another purpose.
A whole new way of evolving the undead creatures.
¡°Chairman Wen, long time no see.¡±
As soon as the tall and sturdy Wen Ruoshui walked into the auditorium, an elegantly dressed man who was already seated took the initiative to greet Wen Ruoshui.
¡°I thought, it turned out to be Master Duanmeng.¡±
Upon hearing that, Wen Ruoshui smiled and sat down next to Duanmeng, making Duanmeng¡¯s already slim figure appear even more lean.
Wen Ruoshui stretched his neck and said, ¡°Master Duanmeng, did youe here intending to teach at Star Mechanics Academy?¡±
Duanmeng nodded, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s an honor for every Undead Department Beastmaster to work with Bai Chuanqi.¡±
¡°But, when did your Haoli Dojo start to take an interest in the Undead Department, Chairman Wen?¡±
Wen Ruoshui said, ¡°The Haoli Dojo only respects strength, there are no hard restrictions on the type of pets, after all, apart from the Soul Race, other pets can all participate in physicalbat!¡±
Hearing Wen Ruoshui¡¯s words, Duanmeng¡¯s face darkened immediately, ¡°Huh, only a brainless brute would like that kind of violent fighting style.¡±
Duanmeng, a master of the Undead Department, was famous for his strategic battle style.
Wen Ruoshui, a master of the Combat System, was known for his straightforward and brutal fighting style.
The two of them obtained their licenses and became masters at the same time. Because of their different fighting styles, their rivalry was well-known within the circle.
As expected, after a brief exchange, the two turned away and stopped talking. The opening ceremony of the Undead Department finally officially began.
On a spacious tform, President Qin, Celestial Brilliance Bai Heguang, and an old man with white hair walked out from the backstage together. The spectators below, who were originally whispering amongst themselves, immediately stopped talking when they saw the three appeared.
Naturally, President Qin and Celestial Brilliance were familiar with them. One was the president of the Beast Master Association of Gusu City, and the other was a Titled Legendary from the Undead Department. They naturally received considerable respect.
However, the bigger reason was the seemingly ordinary old man who was actually the former legend, current head of Star Mechanics Academy, Li Xiu.
Li Xiu walked to the center of the tform, looked around and said, ¡°First of all, thank you all for attending the opening ceremony of our Star Mechanics Academy Undead Department, I feel extremely honored.¡±
As soon as his voice fell, thunder-like apuse sounded from the audience that didn¡¯t stop until Li Xiu signaled for it to.
¡°You all are aware of the old man¡¯s character, I won¡¯t say much, first, allow me to introduce the honorary dean of the Undead Department, the Titled Legendary ¡°Celestial Brilliance¡± ¨C Bai Heguang!¡±
Li Xiu pointed to his side, everyone¡¯s eyes immediately gathered on Bai Heguang. However, Bai Heguang didn¡¯t seem to intend to make a lengthy speech. He simply nodded slightly to greet everyone.
Such behavior did not cause dissatisfaction among the Beast Masters below or those watching the live broadcast outside, but instead induced even more fanaticism.
¡°Bai Chuanqi is so handsome!¡±
¡°Is this the aura of a Titled Legendary? When can I be like this?¡±
¡°Wake up, child, you have a higher chance of dreaming about this by sleeping somewhere else.¡±
¡°I love Li Min! I love Li Min!¡±
¡°Damn, someone got the wrong film set!¡±
¡°It¡¯s really Bai Chuanqi!¡±
Seeing Bai Heguang admit his identity as the honorary dean with his own eyes, thest stone in Lu Yuan¡¯s heart fell and was immediately filled with anticipation.
What exactly would be the new evolution style of the Undead Department?
Maybe it could help his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger to further enhance its abilities.
After going through the Lamentation Tower and the two-city joint examination, Lu Yuan recognized his weak points.
Facing the endless emergence of lord-level creatures, the bloodline level of the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger seemed a bit low. Although there was room for improvement in his own training, the best way to improve was to enhance the bloodline level.
¡°However, Bai Qi probably wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity either; If he was also sessful in evolution, the gap between us would widen again.¡±
Thinking about Bai Qi¡¯s abnormal skeleton, Lu Yuan was overwhelmed, and could only pin all his hopes on the rumored new evolution method.
A simple skeleton soldier could evolve to be so strong, there was no reason that his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger would be weaker after evolving.
After all, the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger was one of the few races that was able toprehend the intimidation skill at the elite level.
Seeing that Bai Heguang didn¡¯t intend to say much, Li Xiu had no choice but to resume speaking, ¡°Everyone has their own business to attend to. I won¡¯t dy your time. I hereby announce that the Star Mechanics Academy Undead Department officially opens!¡±
This time, the apuse that was thunderous before did not reappear. Everyone was staring at the stage without previous agreement, waiting for them to announce the next thing.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiu and President Qin exchanged nces. President Qin immediately stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said, ¡°I suppose everyone already knows what I¡¯ m about to say. Today, taking advantage of the grand opening of the Undead Department, I¡¯m going to introduce you to a whole new way of evolution for the Undead Department!¡±
¡°Rune evolution!¡±
Rune evolution?
President Qin¡¯s words immediately caused amotion below.
In their spection, Gusu City might have discovered some new evolution form or a new race of evolution. After all, the sudden appearance of the lord-level creature, the Wilting Dragon Lord, had attracted quite a bit of attention a few days ago.
But they never thought that the evolution of the Undead Department would be rted to runes.
¡°Rune evolution? Since when did runes have anything to do with evolution.¡±
As a master of the Undead Department, Duanmeng frowned, unable to figure out what rune evolution was all about.
President Qin looked around and was very satisfied with the intense scene below.
¡°Cough, cough, I knowyou all have doubts in your hearts, so I won¡¯t exin too much. Just witness it with your own eyes.¡±
President Qin turned sideways, the curtain behind him slowly rose, and four dull skeletal soldiers stood neatly in a row, each holding a box of the same design.
¡°Skeletal soldiers? Just low-level minion¡¯s evolution?¡±
Seeing that the ones making an appearance were skeleton soldiers, the lowest rank of the Undead Department, the crowd was somewhat disappointed. Moreover, when they saw Bai Qi, who was obviously still a student standing beside the skeletal soldiers, they were even less interested.
As expected, it must be some well-off youngster padding his achievements with the research results of his elders before the grand opening of the Undead Department.
They had seen this trick many times.
¡°Bai Qi, why did he go up?¡±
Lu Yuan instantly recognized Bai Qi on stage. His brain froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
¡°So he knew about rune evolution all along? No, could it be rted to him?¡±
Thinking about what Bai Qi had done before, Lu Yuan felt more and more that his guess was very likely.
Just how much has this guy been doing behind our backs¡
¡°I know everyone is a bit disappointed, but don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s see the results first. Bai Qi, your turn.¡±
Seeing this, President Qin was not surprised. After soothing a few words, he signaled Bai Qi to start.
Bai Qi nodded in response, walked to the first skeletal soldier, and introduced, ¡°This is a low-level minion skeletal soldier. Whether it¡¯s attack power, defense power, speed or even wisdom, it¡¯s at the bottom among beasts. I believe no undead beast master would choose a skeletal soldier as a pet, right?¡±
The crowd fell silent, Bai Qi¡¯s words were all well known.
Although the news of Bai Qiucha¡¯s settlement in Gusu City caused a wave of contracting undead creatures, it did not include skeletal soldiers. Even if someone bought them, they were only used as specimens.
Seeing the crowd¡¯s reaction, Bai Qi was not surprised, paused, and continued, ¡°But now, because the skeletal soldiers are at the bottom, they have unlimited potential for evolution.¡±
¡°Through my continuous research, I have discovered a new, very convenient way of evolution.¡±
¡°I guarantee that the pets of the Undead Department will change their gloomy image because of this way of evolution, and like other departments, have a variety of evolved forms!¡±
As his words fell, there was another uproar below, and the citizens gathered in front of the screen were all dumbfounded.
Does this kid really know what he¡¯s talking about?
Me?
An eighteen-year-old college student?
Daring to say he¡¯s researched apletely new form of evolution?
There should be a limit when trying to ride the coattails of a trend, right?
Seeing the escting discussion below, silent all the while, Celestial Brilliance suddenly opened his eyes. An invisible momentum enveloped the entire venue, quieting the auditorium once again.
Just now, President Qin seemed to call him Bai Qi?
The surname is Bai? Could it be a rtive of Celestial Brilliance?
Seeing that Bai Heguang was helping to maintain order on his own initiative, Bai Qi was calmed down. He put on special gloves, opened the box in the skeletal soldier¡¯s hand, and took out an ice crystal emitting cold air.
¡°This is a cold light stone, amon grade ice attribute material.¡±
Bai Qi waved the cold light stone in his hand, then, under the puzzled eyes of the crowd, pressed the cold light stone into the rune carved on the spine of the skeletal soldier.
Suddenly, a light shed on the rune, and the cold light stone was instantly absorbed by the rune. At the same time, a dazzling light erupted from the skeletal soldier.
This was, the light of evolution?!
What this kid said is true?!
Almost instantly, both the people in the auditorium and those gathered in front of the screen watching the opening ceremony remembered one name.
Bai Qi.

Trantor: 549690339
Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the light of evolution gradually faded from the first skeleton soldier, revealing an icy skeleton in front of everyone.
¡°Name: Ice Bone.¡±
¡°Nature: Ice n, Undead Department.¡±
¡°Bloodline Level: Mid-level Servant.¡±
As soon as the Ice Bone appeared, its data were immediately disyed on the side screen.
¡°It evolved into Ice Bone just by using a singlemon-grade Cold Light Stone?¡±
Seeing the skeleton soldier seed in its evolution, all the masters present cried out in amazement.
Unlike growth levels which can be increased through continuous training, a beast must be supported by certain materials if it wants to change its bloodline.
Because of the differences between different races and levels, the forms for beast evolution are almost never the same, so every form is extremely valuable.
Now, Bai Qi had actually facilitated evolution with only a single piece ofmon Cold Light Stone. Although it was the lowest-grade skeleton soldier, it was enough to surprise everyone.
Wait, they were talking about Rune Evolution just now, weren¡¯t they?
There are quite a few masters present who belong to the Undead Department. They quickly recalled Bai Qj¡¯s previous act of pressing the Cold Light Stone into the backbone of the skeleton soldier.
If their guess correctly, the runes they were talking about should have been drawn on the spine of the skeleton soldier in advance, right?
But aren¡¯t runes only used in the making of treasures and the Secret Realm Tower? How are they now used for evolution?
We must try this when we return!
Seeing the astonished expression of the people below, Bai Qi continued his actions, applying the same method to the remaining three skeleton soldiers. Apanied by three shes of the evolution light, three skeletons with distinct auras appeared before everyone.
¡°Fire w, Hidden Sting, Poison Breath, can skeleton soldiers evolve in so many different directions?¡±
Seeing the four undead creatures in front of them, with properties and forms greatly different from before, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Although they only evolved into lower-order servants and their apanying attributes were feeble, that Rune Evolution undoubtedly broke the premise that all low-order servants are useless.
These skeleton soldiers had additional attributes, as long as they were properly cultivated, another evolution was not impossible.
But the key question was, could this so-called Rune Evolution be used on higher-order undead creatures?
More broadly, could it be applied to allbat pets?
¡°Is there only a lower-order demonstration? If it can only be applied to the status of a servant, it doesn¡¯t have too much value for ordinary Beast Masters, does it?¡±
Finally, a Beast Master couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°Of course, there is.¡±
Bai Qi and President Qin exchanged a nce, and immediately two Beast Masters from the association came on stage, each summoning theirbat pets.
Both were round-bodied, but their auras werepletely different.
One body was extremely cold, the guardian of the first level of the Lamentation Tower, the Ice Ghost, and the other was hidden entirely in the shadows.
[Name]: Phantom
[Nature]: Soul Race
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Elite
¡°This is a Phantom of the Soul, a first-stage, ninth-level creature. Following the regr evolution path, Phantoms can evolve into Shadow Warriors of the Shadow Department.¡±
Bai Qi pointed at the Phantom and then looked at the Ice Ghost, saying, ¡°This one is the Ice Ghost from inside the Lamentation Tower in Gusu City, it has the dual properties of being undead and ice n, high-grade elite.¡±
Having listened to Bai Qi¡¯s introduction, many in the audience were puzzled, but masters of the Soul Race like Duanmeng had a vague guess.
Seeing the puzzled expressions below, Bai Qi took out a Soul Stone and Cold Spirit Iron, swiftly engraved runes on them with the Rune Engraving Knife, and then threw them both into the Phantom¡¯s body.
Although the Soul Race doesn¡¯t have a physical form, that doesn¡¯t mean they can¡¯te in contact with physical objects. These two items stayed inside the Phantom¡¯s body after being absorbed. The runes on the two materials also slowly began to shine.
Finally, the Light of Evolution appeared once again. The originally gloomy Phantom slowly moved towards the Ice Ghost, and when the Light of Evolution disappeared, the Phantom of the Shadow Department had evolved into an Ice Ghost of the Ice n attribute.
However, no one was paying attention to the change in the Phantom¡¯s attribute anymore.
A mid-level Elite directly evolving into a high-grade Elite, even though it was also a single-level promotion, meantpletely different thingspared to when a skeleton soldier evolved into an Ice Bone.
This meant that the two main branches of the Undead Department had new paths for evolution, significantly strengthening the power of the Undead Department.
Looking at the Beast Masters and media below, who were engaged in fervent discussions, President Qin¡¯s face broke into a broad smile. He leaned over to Bai Qi and whispered, ¡°Goodd, I was worried you would mess it up, but you really did it.¡±
¡°Well, I didn¡¯t expect it to seed either. The sess rate was less than ten percent when we experimented yesterday. We were lucky today.¡±
President Qin: ¡°¡¡±
The experiment with the Soul Race was actually a spur of the moment idea for Bai Qi. From seeing the Slime Monster swallow the st Power and evolve the zing Resistance, Bai Qi thought of a way to help the Soul Race ovee Runes.
If we can¡¯t engrave Runes directly onto the Soul Race, then we can engrave the needed runes onto the materials for evolution in advance and then have the Soul Race absorb them.
When Bai Qi shared his idea with President Qin, he too was somewhat skeptical. But with the notion of giving it a try, President Qin managed to bring a few Soul Race creatures for Bai Qi to experiment.
Fortunately, Bai Qi¡¯s whimsical idea really worked. However, the chances of sess were quite low, and the strength achieved was also somewhatcking.
ording to Bai Qi¡¯s estimation, to improve the quality and sess rate of evolution, besides enhancing thepletion of runes, the environment might also have an impact.
Compared to that, Evolution Egg was more reliable, and other than the risk of getting wrung dry by people, it had no other requirements.
Most importantly, situations like failed evolution or iplete evolution wouldn¡¯t happen with it.
However, Bai Qi was toozy to bother about this now. His task was aplished after all, as the evolution had been sessful.
¡°President Qin, I have a question. Is it appropriate to ask?¡±
As the group pondered over the value represented by the Ghost¡¯s evolution into Ice Ghost, Duanmeng suddenly thought of something and asked loudly.
¡°Of course, you can ask.¡±
Upon hearing Duanmeng¡¯s question, President Qin immediately showed a knowing smile on his face, and he evenughed out loud after hearing the question Duanmeng raised.
¡°A few days ago, a new evolution form of the Ice Shadow Swordsman, the Wilting Dragon Lord, was introduced in Gusu City. Is it also evolved by this, um, Rune Evolution?¡±
With Duanmeng¡¯s words, the room fell silent immediately.
Wilting Dragon Lord, a Mid-Level Lord with ice, shadow, and dragon attributes.
While it wasn¡¯t unusual to see creatures with dual attributes, the presence of three attribute types was different, especially since one of them was the dragon attribute.
They hadn¡¯t put much thought into this initially, but with each new evolution they saw, they couldn¡¯t help but specte.
¡°Yes, the Wilting Dragon Lord was indeed evolutionized by utilizing rune evolution, and its Beast Master is this young man in front of you, Bai Qi.¡±
Upon hearing President Qin¡¯s words, all eyes in the room instantly focused on Bai Qi. Lu Yuan and the others outside the venue opened their mouths wide in shock, unable to calm their excited hearts for a long time.
Did his skeleton pet evolve again?
Hearing President Qin¡¯s introduction, Bai Qi timely summoned Alpha. It was only when a faint dragon¡¯s aura rolled over the room that everyone came back to their senses.
It really has the dragon attribute!
¡°This is my main pet, the Wilting Dragon Lord. Prior to its evolution, it was an Ice Shadow Swordsman at the High-Grade Elite level. It too was evolved using runes.¡±
Bai Qi pointed at Alpha and said, ¡°However, the materials and runes I used are a bit special, so they may not be replicable.¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t state things too absolutely. After all, it¡¯s one thing to talk about mythical materials, but as far as he knew, he was the only one with an Evolution Egg. If some rich and ostentatious person tried to use mythical materials for evolution and failed, he might end up being chased by the whole Federation.
¡°Not replicable?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, some Beast Masters silently extinguished the ideas in their hearts.
¡°So, is it uncertain about the evolution from Elite to Lord level?¡±
Duanmeng frowned and continued to question.
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°Due to time constraints, Bai Qi hasn¡¯t had time to conduct more in-depth research. However, the Beast Master Association of Gusu City has decided, in conjunction with the Star Mechanics Academy, to establish a Rune Evolution research group. Both the Undead Department and the Rune Department will participate, with Celestial Brilliance and Professor Dong from the Rune Department being among the members.¡±
¡°As for the group leader, it will be Bai Qi, the discoverer of this method of evolution.¡±
To let a student be the group leader and a Titled Legendary a member?
Hearing President Qin¡¯s announcement, the people in front of the screens didn¡¯t know why, but they couldn¡¯t be surprised anymore.
It wasn¡¯t because it was not shocking enough, but they had be numb.
Bai Qi was challenging the heavens¡
Finally, amidst the stunned gazes of countless people, the opening ceremony of the Undead Department officially ended, but there were still many people left in the lecture hall.
They all wanted to ask about the specifics of Rune Evolution. Of course, many of them also wanted to join the Rune Evolution research group.
It did seem somewhat demeaning to let a newly minted professional Beast Master join the team, but since the Titled Legendary didn¡¯t mind, they didn¡¯t have the grounds to be pretentious.
Most importantly, if this so-called Rune Evolution really poprized, they could greatly improve their pets, regardless of whether their namessted forever or not.
However, it was clear that President Qin didn¡¯t intend to waste time chatting with them and teleported away with Bai Qi right after the ceremony ended.
As for Heguang, despite his status as dean, he hadn¡¯t yet left, but dare you go ask him?
¡°Phew, things like this really aren¡¯t meant for humans. President, if there¡¯s something like this next time, I won¡¯t participate.¡±
Bai Qi undid his formal attire andined to President Qin. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say few people woulde? I think the number of Sunrise Level Masters in the lecture hall was close to a hundred, correct?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not up to me. If you don¡¯t want to do this again, cause less trouble.¡±
President Qin rolled his eyes, seemingly having foreseen Bai Qi causing trouble again.
¡°Isn¡¯t it President you who let me make trouble¡¡±
Mumbling quietly, Bai Qi saw President Qin suddenly threw something over and hastily prepared to dodge.
¡°Your patent certificate, Federation-certified, core patent. As long as you don¡¯t mess up too badly, you shouldn¡¯t have to worry about retirement.¡±
Hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi¡¯s face changed. He clumsily collected the certificate, confirmed it wasn¡¯t damaged, and then put it away.
A core patent, another golden goose!
Chapter 109 - 108: Andulu Beast Plan Restarted
Chapter 109: Chapter 108: Andulu Beast n Restarted
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi stowed away his certificate and asked, ¡°Getting a core patent usually involves a lot of reviews, how did it get approved so quickly?¡±
President Qin replied, ¡°Do you think the title of Legendary Celestial Brilliance is just for show? With his guarantee, all processes passed through in one go. It would be even quicker if not for the long journey.¡±
So that¡¯s how it was, reputation really did matter everywhere.
¡°Although the patent application was quick, a fair amount of people in the Capital have noticed you, so you might be busy from here on out.¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder in a supposedlyforting gesture, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, it will just be some challenges at most. It¡¯s nothing serious.¡±
Bai Qi cast a disdainful look at the gloating President Qin, ¡°Mr. President, is it right for you to abandon me like this after using me to cross the river?¡±
President Qin burst intoughter, saying, ¡°I¡¯m just giving you a heads up. The training camp you¡¯re about to join is filled with elites from every region. If you don¡¯t have enough highlights, just having the Breaking the Void talent won¡¯t help you secure sufficient resources in the camp.¡±
¡°The training camp provides resources?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shone brightly at his words, as if a massive treasure trove was beckoning to him.
¡°Of course, are we just gathering you all there for fun?¡±
President Qin red at Bai Qi irritably, then his face turned serious, ¡°But remember, out of all the trainees, you¡¯re the only Second Stage Beast Master. If you don¡¯t work hard, you might just fade into the crowd.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and replied, ¡°I got it, don¡¯t worry, Mr. President.¡±
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze 99%)
[Condition]: Activated
Due to his recent research on Rune Evolution, Bai Qi had collected arge wave of pet beasts along with the emergence of the slime monster, finally raising the progress of the Evolution Egg to 99%.
But Bai Qi felt that his physique and Spirit Power hadn¡¯t reached their upper limit yet, so he wasn¡¯t in a rush to break through.
He would only consider continuing his evolution once the Evolution Egg couldn¡¯t enhance him further.
Most importantly, he currently had no leads on where to find a Mutant Species to break through the final 1%.
Well, next time the Evolution Egg encounters a Mutant Species, I should hold off on evolution.
If I can bear to.
President Qin said, ¡°Luo Xiang should be here soon. If there¡¯s anything unsolved, quickly deal with them. Once the training camp starts, you won¡¯t have much leisure time.¡±
From where did you deduce that I¡¯m leisurely, Mr. President? If you don¡¯t have evidence, be careful, I might sue you for nder.
Bai Qi said, ¡°Oh right, Mr. President, you mentioned before that the Beast Master Association provides a free Lord Level pet beast. Could I also exchange for it at the headquarters?¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s originally sent from the headquarters anyway, directly picking it up there would eliminate the need for transportation.¡±
As he said this, President Qin suddenly grabbed Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, ¡°You must remember, connect with me before making a contract this time. I¡¯ll help you choose, don¡¯t just rashly make a contract like before.¡±
While the Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf did indeed perform spectacrly during the assessment, it was still just an elite creature,cking potentialpared to a Lord Creature.
Unless it could evolve again, its future achievements would be quite limited.
¡°Well, I will strive for it.¡±
Looking at President Qin¡¯s serious expression, Bai Qi felt a little guilty.
Although he was dying to make a contract with a flying pet beast, ensuring that he wouldn¡¯t be stuck in traffic again, the potential disyed by the slime monster also tempted him.
Though itwas just a servant, it could withstand Beta¡¯s st Power, and its multitude of resistances proved its high cultivation value.
At least it was much stronger than Alpha in the beginning.
Well, let¡¯s just see how it goes. What if I encounter a Mutant Species flying pet beast.
Alpha: ¡°¡¡±
Or a support-type pet beast like the Light Elf would also do. I¡¯m not picky.
SchuckBeta:¡±¡¡±
Bai Qi discussed some details about the training camp with President Qin then left the Beast Master Association.
He had practically moved everything from his home. He¡¯d recently replenished the supplements Alpha had exhausted when evolving, so there seemed to be nothing left to pack.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯d better go back to the mysterious realm and continue working on the Catastrophe System.¡±
Bai Qi had been too busy preparing for the opening ceremony over the past few days to manage affairs in the mysterious realm. He had delegated everything to Schuck and had no idea how things were going so far.
Thinking along these lines, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t be bothered to go home. He directly entered the mysterious realm.
¡°Bai Qi¡ err¡¡±
Just as Bai Qi disappeared, Lu Yuan suddenly ran over from afar. Before he could say anything, Bai Qi had already vanished.
¡°This guy, why does he always run so fast?¡±
Lu Yuan looked exasperatedly in the direction Bai Qi had disappeared, sighing.
He had thought to ask Bai Qi if his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger could also evolve through Rune Evolution, only for Bai Qi to stride off with President Qin.
Although he had cleverly guessed that Bai Qi might be at the Beast Master Association, he was still a stepte.
Should I stake out his house?
Mysterious realm.
As soon as Bai Qi appeared in the mysterious realm, he was stunned by the bustling scene in front of him.
Several skeletons of various colors were working on various tasks under Schuck¡¯s direction.
The one using its fiery ws to weld at high temperatures was Fire w;
The one continuously shuttling parts and materials through the shadows was Shadow Stinger;
The one administering cold treatments to some materials was Ice Bone;
The one busily moving materials with its head low was Steel Skull;
These were all given to Bai Qi by President Qin at the beginning for his rune research. They were never taken back, and Bai Qi was originally nning to give them to the Elf House. But he never thought that Schuck would directly enlist them as his helpers.
Additionally, Bai Qi noticed that all the skeletons had mechanical devices installed on them, guiding the precise operation of energy.
Bai Qi walked up to the Husky, grabbed a slime monster, kneaded it a bit, and asked, ¡°Schuck, how is the Catastrophe System instation going?¡±
Schuck paused for a moment, then replied, ¡°The primary design has been drafted, mostly ording to your requirements, Beast Master. However, the actual construction will take time, so I ask for your patience.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction. Since gaining Schuck¡¯s mechanical conscious mind, he had started delegating many tasks. He¡¯d even stopped doing much of the hands-on work for Mechanical Weapons specialization.
Ah, going from frugality to extravagance is easy, but the reverse is hard.
He had indeed fallen to indulgence.
Bai Qimented secretly and then threw the slime monster back onto the Beta. Beta, who had just started recovering, sank back into itsnguishing state. Dog¡¯s life, it¡¯s gone¡
Bai Qi looked at the hardworking skeletons in front of him and asked, ¡°Do you need me to fetch a couple of skeleton soldiers to help you out?¡±
¡°No need. Even if the skeleton soldiers evolve sessfully, their attributes are still too low. The mechanical devices are much more effective. These are just temporary solutions.¡±
Schuck shook his head and said, ¡°However, these skeletons do possess different attributes. Once the base construction isplete, I n to modify them.¡±
Uh, was this a n to recreate the Andulu Beast project that had failed on Alpha?
If Celestial Brilliance found out, he would probably chop him up¡
Shaking his head, Bai Qi silently determined the future of these skeletons.
Unless one day he could defeat Celestial Brilliance, or Schuck gave up on modifying them, these skeletons might have to stay in this secret realm for the rest of their lives.
Bai Qi asked, ¡°By the way, how is the instation of the Angel¡¯s Flower going?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve temporarily simted an environment suitable for the Angel¡¯s Flower. It seems to be growing well so far, but if you want it to flourish, you should find some light-element materials.¡±
¡°Light-element materials¡¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, instinctively thinking of Wu Yi.
Since his main pet was the light-attribute Goddess Butterfly, there must be plenty of light-element materials around him, right?
But that guy was too calcting, not straightforward like Xia Xuan. If he tampered with the light-element materials and damaged the Angel¡¯s Flower, the loss would outweigh the gain.
¡°Never mind. Let¡¯s go and find some light-element runes instead.¡±
Looking at the orderly construction site in front of him, Bai Qi didn¡¯t linger any longer and directly left the secret realm.
Bang!
Just as he returned to the real world from the secret realm, he felt a figure collide with him head-on. He had no time to dodge, so the collision was quite a full-on impact.
Oh no, he hadpletely forgotten that he had entered the secret realm right at the entrance of the Beast Master Association. That was a mistake.
¡°Bai Qi, why are you here?¡±
Just as Bai Qi was nning to apologize, a familiar voice came. Looking up, the person he had bumped into turned out to be Bai Qiucha.
¡°Uh, sorry, I just came out of the secret realm and didn¡¯t notice you.¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head, then said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, you¡¯re just in time. I have something to ask you.¡±
¡°Ask me?¡±
Bai Qi was surprised, not quite understanding Bai Qiucha¡¯s meaning.
Bai Qiucha, the legendary son, had so many resources at his disposal, so why did he need his help?
¡°That¡¯s right. These days I¡¯ve been trying to break through the Tower of Gratitude, but I always fail at the seventh floor.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded seriously and said, ¡°I know the Tower of Gratitude tests a Beast Master¡¯s rune knowledge, so I want you to teach me about runes.¡±
Scratching his head awkwardly, Bai Qi said, ¡°I¡¯m just a student, wouldn¡¯t it be better to learn from a Rune Department professor if you want to study runes?¡±
Bai Qiucha said, ¡°I asked. Learning runes is extremely time-consuming. I can¡¯t afford to wait.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t wait? The Tower of Gratitude isn¡¯t going anywhere, you can take your time to learn.¡±
¡°The Tower of Gratitude can only amodate second and third stage Beast Masters. If I continue to suppress my level, it¡¯ll hinder future development, so I need to learn quickly.¡±
Suppressing your level?
You¡¯re about to break through?
Looking at the potential youngest four-stage Beast Master in Federation history before him, Bai Qi was speechless for quite some time.
¡°I¡¯ve researched it. You didn¡¯t take much time learning runes before going to the Tower of Gratitude. So, I want to learn your elerated method!¡±
As she spoke, Bai Qiucha suddenly bowed deeply to Bai Qi, saying solemnly, ¡°Please!¡±
Oh,e on, why the bow!? Speech is fine!
Looking around at the crowd that was gathering slowly, as well as a few phones that had started recording, Bai Qi already foresaw tomorrow¡¯s headline news.
¡°Son of Celestial Brilliance Bows Down to Founder of Rune Evolution, Hidden Secrets Suspected¡¡±
Chapter 110 - 109: Demon Instructor
Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Demon Instructor
Trantor: 549690339
As more and more spectators gathered around, Bai Qiucha seemed to realize his summoning disy might¡¯ve been a bit inappropriate. He summoned the Bone Dragon and quickly took off into the sky, Bai Qi trailing behind.
It¡¯s over. The news is bound to spread like wildfire tomorrow. Hopefully, no obsessed fan girls wille knocking on my door.
Starting at the flickering shlights below, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
The Bone Dragon¡¯s flight speed was swift, and they managed to reach Bai Manor in no time.
Bai Qiucha apologized somewhat regrettably: ¡°I didn¡¯t consider our surroundings earlier, but we should be able to talk freely here in my house. It¡¯s safe from eavesdroppers.¡±
Practicing espionage movies in real life, are we?
Bai Qi said, ¡°The Tower of Gratitude is essentially a rune learning tower. Its intrinsic value isn¡¯t significant, so¡¡±
¡°Not eptable!¡±
Bai Qi was interrupted mid-sentence by Bai Qiucha¡¯s stern refusal.
¡°I despise unfinished tasks. I refuse to allow a secret realm tower that I attempted yet failed to clear in my career!¡±
Wow, is it that serious? You sure are in for a headache now.
Looking at the stern-faced Bai Qiucha, Bai Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, ¡°There¡¯s no harm in a few failures in life. They can sometimes motivate you to learn further.¡±
¡°Think about it, if you clear the tower right away, would you still want to continue learning runes?¡±
¡°And moreover, if you keep dwelling on past failures, how different would it be from tying your own hands?¡±
Listening to Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha felt like he was suddenly enlightened.
Indeed, his tenacity with learning runes has been fueled by his desire to clear the Tower of Gratitude.
If it wasn¡¯t for his imminent breakthrough to the Four Stage and his inability to return to the Tower afterward, he wouldn¡¯t havee looking for a shortcut from Bai Qi.
Thinking of this, a sudden rity disyed itself on Bai Qiucha¡¯s face. He removed a band from his left wrist, and the three Rune Marks on the back of his left hand instantly turned into four.
¡°Thank you. I should not have been so fixated¡wait, what¡¯s this?¡±
Bai Qiucha was just preparing to thank Bai Qi for his insight when Bai Qi handed over a small booklet to him.
¡°You wanted a shortcut, didn¡¯t you? After much sorting, I have collected all the runes and their corresponding functionality in The Tower of Gratitude. You can quickly browse through them.¡±
What the hell!
You could¡¯ve mentioned the shortcut sooner! Why all this nonsense?!
With twitching eyes, Bai Qiucha took a deep breath, forcing down the impulse to punch Bai Qi, while gazing at his left hand, which now permanently bore the fourth Rune Mark.
¡°Thankyou. But I might not need it anymore!¡±
Bai Qiucha pushed the booklet back to Bai Qi, who then noticed four Rune Marks on Bai Qiucha¡¯s wrist.
He was probably too slow in his exnation, but no harm done, as his hard work had paid off.
Although Bai Qi wasn¡¯t particrly close to Bai Qiucha, he could not bear to watch a genius youth wallow in vain regrets. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered with the lengthy persuasion at all.
I am so kind.
Looking at the self-indulgent Bai Qi, Bai Qiucha found himself reassessing Bai Qi yet again.
This guy is truly unique.
Bai Qiucha nced at Bai Qi and said, ¡°I had initially nned to have a duel against your Wilting Dragon Lord. But I just broke through to the Four Stage and need time to adapt. So our duel will have to wait until the training camp.¡± ¡°Training camp? Are you going too?¡±
The moment Bai Qi asked the question, he wished he could smack himself.
The Bai family was part of the Beast Master Association, with Bai Qiucha¡¯s talent, there was no way he wasn¡¯t going to join this training camp.
¡°Yup, we can have a real duel then.¡±
With a determined look on his face, Bai Qiucha said, ¡°Now that your Wilting Dragon Lord and my Skeleton Dragon are Lord Level, we have more freedom during the duel.¡±
¡°Haha, we can discuss it when the timees.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and asked, ¡°By the way, can you tell me what the training camp is all about?¡±
Old Qin has prompted Bai Qi more than once to prepare for the training camp. If Bai Qi wasn¡¯t curious, he¡¯d be lying.
But Old Qin was too fond of ying tactical games and refused to spill the beans. A free Informer at hand was not something Bai Qi would pass on easily.
¡°It¡¯s my first time as well, but from what I know, besides basic theoretical learning, secret realm exploration and realbat take precedence.¡± Secret realm exploration and realbat?
Wouldn¡¯t that mean plenty of resources?
Bai Qi instantly perked up and said, ¡°So, everything collected during the training is owned by the individual?¡±
¡°I believe so, but I can¡¯t confirm until the training camp starts.¡±
¡°Good, I understand now.¡±
With a rough idea in mind, Bai Qi was about to bid Bai Qiucha goodbye when his phone started vibrating. It was Luo Xiang.
¡°Has he arrived already?¡±
Upon answering the call, Luo Xiang¡¯s voice was fired out like a rapid machine gun st.
¡°Bai Qi, I had an emergency and can¡¯t apany you to the headquarters. But rest assured as I¡¯ve already booked your flight. It¡¯s at one in the afternoon. Someone will be there to pick you up when you arrive. Be sure to be on time, as the person hatesteers.¡±
¡°Beep Beep Beep¡.¡±
The line went dead, and Bai Qi was left confused.
Is Brother Luo always this busy?
During thest visit to the Tower of Gratitude, he simply grabbed a Rune Dictionary from Professor Dong and ran off. This time, it was worse. He didn¡¯t even show up in person.
With a leader like that, was he really not going to be screwed over in the future?
¡°Was that Brother Luo you were just talking to on the phone?¡±
Bai Qiucha, already a Four Stage Beast Master, couldn¡¯t help but ask, her natural senses picking up on the voice on the phone.
¡°Yes, do you know him?¡±
¡°Of course, I do.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, saying, ¡°Brother Luo is one of the rising talents in the Beast Master Association in recent years. He¡¯s only in his twenties, but the number of Secret Realm Towers he has broken through is close to the triple digits.¡± The triple digits?
Who would¡¯ve thought that Luo Xiang was that loaded?!
¡°My dad said you and Brother Luo Xiang both have the Breaking the Void talent. I believe you can achieve the same in the future,¡± same said Bai Qiucha. Bai Qiughed, ¡°I¡¯ll take that as a good omen.¡±
Checking the time, he noted it was already noon.
¡°Damn, can¡¯t Luo Xiang buy ater ticket?!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi hurriedly put away his phone, turned to Bai Qiucha and said, ¡°Um, could you drop me off at the airport?¡±
They were on the outskirts of Gusu City, at least an hour¡¯s drive from the airport. Hailing a cab, he surely wouldn¡¯t make it in time.
¡°I was originally nning to challenge the Tower of Gratitude before proceeding to the headquarters. But since I can¡¯t now, I¡¯ll go with you,¡± said Bai Qiucha.
With that, she snapped her fingers, and their waiting butler quickly approached. After she whispered a few words in his ear, he hurried off.
¡°You¡¯reing too? But is there enough time to book a flight now?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head, ¡°No need for that. We can just use my private jet.¡±
A private jet?
Don¡¯t you and your father both travel by flying pets?
Bai Qi followed Bai Qiucha¡¯s pointed finger, where a small ne was slowly rising from the ground. Through the ss of the cockpit, he vaguely saw the driver was the butler.
Does this old guy also know how to fly a ne?
Are all butlers so versatile nowadays¡
The butler, who had just been in the cockpit, suddenly appeared in front of Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, ¡°Young master, the ne is ready. Shall we leave now?¡±
Bai Qiucha nced at Bai Qi, and nodding after confirming he had no objections, said, ¡°Let¡¯s go now.¡±
The butler nodded, leading them onto the ne, before steering it directly northward.
Simultaneously, as they left Gusu City, Lu Yuan had already arrived at Bai Qi¡¯s house. He quietly squatted by the door, waiting for Bai Qi.
¡°This time, I must have him modify my Ghost Bone Giant Tiger!¡±
Songlin City.
The Airport.
¡°Young master, Master Bai Qi, we¡¯ve arrived,¡± said the butler, signaling for the two of them to disembark.
¡°We¡¯re here already?¡±
Bai Qi nced out the window at the unfamiliar scenery, curious.
Songlin City and Gusu City were located at the south and north of the Federation, respectively, quite a distance apart. So this was his first time visiting Songlin City.
¡°What are those six towers? They look somewhat like Secret Realm Towers,¡± Bai Qi looked out the window and immediately saw the six towers in the distance. Amidst a cluster of low-lying buildings, they were particrly conspicuous.
¡°That¡¯s where the headquarters are ¨C the Six Towers,¡± said the butler, nodding his head, ¡°There is a no-fly zone around the Six Towers, so we can only dock at the airport first. Rest a bit while I arrange for a car.¡±
Bai Qiucha acknowledged with a nod, evidently ustomed to this routine. Bai Qi, however, remembered something, ¡°Right, Luo Xiang told me he was going to have someone meet me. How should I contact him?¡±
Upon hearing this, the butler grinned, ¡°If Luo Xiang requested it, it must be Master Zhang Shan. If Young Master Bai Qi doesn¡¯t mind, I can help you in reaching out to him.¡±
¡°That would be great.¡±
ording to Luo Xiang¡¯s previous phone conversation, Zhang Shan was not an easy person to get along with. Since the butler knew him, Bai Qi spared himself the trouble.
But after dialing Zhang Shan¡¯s number, the butler paused and looked over at Bai Qi, ¡°I apologize, Master Bai Qi. It seems Master Zhang Shan has already arrived.¡±
¡°Um, alright.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, following the butler off the ne, immediately noticing his pick-up person ¨C a stern-faced man with the subtly pinned Beast Master Association badge on his chest.
¡°Bai Qi?¡±
The stern-faced man also spotted Bai Qi approaching and directly inquired.
Straight to the point, unlike Xia Xuan and the others who could feign silence to give themselves a boost in dignity. Bai Qi was quite clear in his assessment: this guy was definitely born with the icy demeanor, you could even call it outright cold.
¡°Me, may I ask who you are?¡±
In light of Luo Xiang¡¯s previous warning and the butler¡¯s demeanor, Bai Qi was careful not to be impolite.
¡°My name is Zhang Shan. For theing half a year, I¡¯ll be one of your tutors. So, I expect you to address me as Coach!¡± Zhang Shan gave Bai Qi a chilly stare, ¡°Now, student Bai Qi, get in the car!¡±
He¡¯s my tutor for the next six months?
By the looks of it, he¡¯s a ssic drill sergeant¡ the next six months won¡¯t be easy¡
Chapter 111 - 110: Strikes Again with a Cudgel
Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Strikes Again with a Cudgel
Trantor: 549690339
After giving instructions to Bai Qi, Zhang Shan turned his gaze to Bai Qiucha.
¡°Bai Qiucha, I am also your guide, so get on the car right away.¡±
After saying this, Zhang Shan turned his head to the housekeeper and said, ¡°Master Zhai, you don¡¯t need to worry about things from now on. If you have no other matters, I¡¯ll take them away first.¡±
Good grief, was he like this with everyone?
Seeing that Zhang Shan was the same even when facing the Legendary Son, Bai Qi sullenly climbed into the carriage without saying a word.
This union is not like a school, no matter how rebellious you are, the teacher will not argue with you. Seeing Zhang Shan¡¯s perfect devilish instructor setting, Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to look for trouble for no reason.
Moreover, he had a fellow mate¡
Bai Qi looked at Bai Qiucha, who obediently got in the car, and quietly asked, ¡°Are you sure Luo Xiang and Ice¡ cough cough, Master Zhang Shan are very familiar?¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, ¡°As far as I know, Master Zhang Shan has only one friend in the headquarters and the association, Brother Luo. Alright¡ they could even risk their lives for each other.¡±
I see, since ancient times red and blue made a couple, an iceberg with a goof.
Zhang Shan was obviously the iceberg. As for Luo Xiang¡
Well, it makes sense.
Bai Qi silently stamped Zhang Shan with the iceberg male emblem, and Zhang Shan had also finished talking with the housekeeper, and simply climbed into the car.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
After Zhang Shan entered the car, there was no unnecessary talk, and the driver, who was clearly aware of Zhang Shan¡¯s character, skillfully started the car and drove towards the Six Towers.
Songlin City was as warm as spring all year round, with splendid scenery. But as a tourist attraction, these were all basic conditions. What really made people remember Songlin City was its enduring old charm and style.
Songlin City was one of the cities with the most Secret Realm Towers discovered by the Federation to date, with more and more being developed continuously. So, to ensure that the emergence and development of the Secret Realm Towers were not affected, Songlin City retained its originalyout to the maximum extent possible, except for basic buildings.
Even the mechanical facilities that the Federation had generally poprized faced some restrictions here.
For example, the car they were riding in now, although it was a smart electric car, it was designed in the style of a model from hundreds of years ago, and even the billboards on the roadside were made of wood.
Added to the asional sight of ancient towers in the vision, Bai Qi even thought he had time-traveled again.
The car passed through several streets and gradually entered the outskirts of Songlin City. The bustling streets became quiet.
¡°Get out of the car.¡±
Zhang Shan, who had been sitting upright and hadn¡¯t spoken for a long time after getting on the bus, suddenly spoke.
Have we arrived?
Bai Qi looked at the still somewhat distant Six Towers, then at the silent wilderness around him, raising his eyebrows.
At least it was an organization that had been passed down for thousands of years. It wouldn¡¯t still be ying such a crude routine, right?
Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged nces, both obediently got off the car, and the Rune Mark on Bai Qiucha¡¯s hand began to flicker.
¡°Very good. Stay alert at all times, it¡¯s a prove that you have qualifications to survive.¡±
Looking at the vignt Bai Qiucha, Zhang Shan nodded approvingly, then turned to Bai Qi and said coldly, ¡°If you were thrown into the Ferocious Beast Tribe, you would never survive even for a day.¡±
Bai Qi remained silent upon hearing this. With his current small build, he wouldn¡¯t survive a day if thrown into the Ferocious Beast Tribe.
Well, if he was a bit more vignt, maybe he could survive half a day.
But apart from hisints, Bai Qi still took Zhang Shan¡¯s words to heart.
After bing a professional Beast Master, he was qualified to explore the wilderness. If he was not vignt enough, indeed, he could end up dead in the wilderness.
Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to have taken his words to heart, Zhang Shan did not waste any more words, but his face was still as cold as ever: ¡°Now, attack me!¡± What?
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and in that instant of being stunned, danger was already approaching.
A sh of the Rune array in front of Zhang Shan, two lightning bolts went towards Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha. Bai Qi instinctively shed to the side, summoning Alpha at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three continuous Ice Crystal Barriers appeared in front of Bai Qi and Alpha, but they onlysted for an instant before they were directly broken by the lightning, grazing Bai Qi¡¯s scalp and hitting the ground behind him.
Bai Qi touched his slightly charred hair, knowing that Zhang Shan was apparently serious. If he couldn¡¯t satisfy him, he wouldn¡¯ t be killed, but he would definitely have to suffer some hardships.
But what about the peaceful development they had agreed on? Why had the style suddenly changed?
On the other hand, Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon also blocked Zhang Shan¡¯s lightning strike. The huge dragon body was in front of Bai Qiucha, eliminating any possibility of an attack reaching Bai Qiucha.
¡°Your reaction speed is not bad, but if you are just doing this, it¡¯s not enough!¡±
A unicorn, its entire body glowing with golden thunder light, stood next to Zhang Shan, making rumbling noises from its mouth from time to time that were intimidating enough to shake one¡¯s heart.
[Name]: Thunder Beast
[Nature]: Thunder Series
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Skills]: Thunder Strike, Thunderbolt, Thunder Trample, Thunder Shadow
Facing the intimidation of Thunder Beast¡¯s Thunder Strike skill, Alpha and the Skeleton Dragon resisted in unison. Two fundamentally different dragon intimidations burst forth from the twin pets, confronting Zhang Shan¡¯s Thunder Beast head-on.
¡°Dragon Intimidation?¡±
Seeing Alpha employ Dragon Intimidation as well, Zhang Shan was slightly surprised. He caught the eye of the Thunder Beast beside him. The Thunder Beast understood instantly, let out an angry roar, and suddenly, a peal of thunder resounded throughout heaven and earth. A thick thundercloud quietly appeared over Alpha and the Skeleton Dragon¡¯s heads.
Then, golden bolts of lightning poured from the thundercloud. The bone dragon had no means of dodging the barrage of attacks and was forced to withstand them by pping its wings. Following that, itunched an attack on the Thunder Beast.
To catch a bandit, one must first catch its leader. If they didn¡¯t defeat the Thunder Beast, they could only be bombed actively by the thundercloud until they lost the ability to fight.
However, the Thunder Beast seemed to know the bone dragon¡¯s n. With a heavy stomp of its hoof, it vanished on the spot and reappeared in front of Alpha. Its horn, wrapped in a golden electric arc, pierced towards Alpha like a sharp sword.
ng!
The unicorn¡¯s horn crossed paths with the great sword, creating a pleasing impact sound.
Although the Thunder Beast was huge, the attack of the horn on its head was quick, urate, ruthless, and incessant, like a snake leaving its hole.
Faced with the Thunder Beast¡¯s horn attack and the asional lightning falling from above, Alpha unleashed his speed, dodging the electric shocks while swinging his great sword and engaging in closebat with the Thunder Beast.
After reaching the Lord Level, Alpha¡¯s Speed Variation finally held an advantage. Facing the Thunder Beast¡¯s double attack, he was not at a disadvantage.
However, this yed right into the Thunder Beast¡¯s hands.
Witnessing Alpha entangled with the Thunder Beast, the Skeleton Dragon, with its dragon breath already gathered at the mouth, found no opportunity to release it. Instead, it was continually seeking an opportune moment.
The Thunder Beast was fighting two on its own, with most of the Thunder Trample attacks focused on the bone dragon. So the pressure on the bone dragon was considerable. Any further dy would be detrimental to it.
However, the situation quickly changed.
Seeing that the Thunder Beast could not be easily defeated, Alpha suddenly retreated several steps. A few ice crystal barriers instantly appeared between it and the Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast wouldn¡¯t let Alpha easily increase the distance between them. Its body transformed into a bolt of lightning and surged forward. The ice crystal barrier instantly turned into a shower of ice dust, obstructing the Thunder Beast¡¯s vision.
Then, a Crystal Great Sword suddenly flew out from the ice dust, charging directly towards the Thunder Beast.
¡°Want to ambush? Good idea, but you should at least first get out of the attack range of Thunder Trample.¡±
Zhang Shan gave a cold evaluation. A golden thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, directly stirring the Crystal Great Sword aside.
But before the Thunder Beast could continue its attack, the Crystal Great Sword ascended from the ground and attacked the Thunder Beast from behind. At the same time, Alpha, who had finally increased the distance from the Thunder Beast, charged again, wielding six crystal bone des andunched a storm-like attack on the Thunder Beast.
1¡®Skeleton Maniption, Rune¡¡±
Facing the sudden onught of Alpha¡¯s attack, the Thunder Beast also felt some pressure. It switched from offense to defense, causing the attack from the thundercloud above to stagnate.
¡°Skeleton Armor!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately seized the opportunity and entered an armor state with the Skeleton Dragon. They skillfully avoided the lightning overhead, quickly closing the gap with the Thunder Beast.
The Skeleton Dragon¡¯s attacks were tremendous. Before the Thunder Beast and Alpha separated, it had only disadvantages and no advantages. It was easier to engage in closebat with the Thunder Beast along with Alpha.
Those who defend for a long time will inevitably lose. The Thunder Beast, which initially suppressed its power, began to fall into a passive stance under the attack of the two.
¡°In the face of a powerful enemy, cooperation is necessary, however, you two are still¡¡±
Seeing the two finally cooperating, Zhang Shan nodded in satisfaction, ready to let the Thunder Beast end the fight. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, everything went ck, and he nearly fainted.
Growl!
Seeing its master injured, the Thunder Beast immediately gave up on Alpha and Bai Qiucha. In an instant, it arrived behind Zhang Shan, crushed a bone rod that extended from the ground with a foot, and stood bearing Zhang Shan. Releasing a torrent of a delicate current, Zhang Shan finally regained consciousness.
Zhang Shan touched the growing lump on the back of his head, nced at Bai Qi, who feigned innocence, and fell silent for a moment.
¡°Get in the car!¡±
Zhang Shan recalled the Thunder Beast and returned to the car wordlessly. Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi nced at each other, then tidied their respective pets and walked towards the car.
¡°Why did you attack Master Zhang Shan? You were lucky not to knock him out. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to stop the Thunder Beast if it went berserk.¡±
¡°Oh, can¡¯t I attack the Beast Master? Didn¡¯t he just attack the two of us? Besides, did I hit him hard?¡±
Bai Qi asked in surprise, his face was one of bewildered innocence.
Isn¡¯t this amon scenario in novels, an actualbat test before joining a certain force? Isn¡¯t it?
If he hadn¡¯t been worried about Alpha not being able to control himself, he would have used Withering Breath to attack.
God, he was worried that Master of the Sunrise Level had a better physical condition earlier, so he deliberately instructed Alpha to be heavier than when he hit Bai Qiucha. Isn¡¯t it over now?
Hey, president, is it toote for me to quit the training now?
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s demeanor, Bai Qiucha was temporarily speechless. He nced at Zhang Shan, who had already got in the car, and involuntarily touched the back of his own head.
¡°Bone Dragon, next time when I¡¯m fighting with Bai Qi, put a helmet on me first, especially strengthening the defense of the back of my head!¡±
Chapter 112 - ill: Arriving at Six Tower
Chapter 112: Chapter ill: Arriving at Six Tower
Trantor: 549690339
Soon, the car finally entered a castle surrounded by six tall towers. After undergoing a series of both obvious and hidden checks, Zhang Shan signaled for the two to get out of the car.
¡°These are your IDs. With these, you cane and go freely from the headquarters. As for your dormitory, someone will take you thereter.¡± Zhang Shan handed over two IDs to the two of them, then turned and left without looking back.
Upon seeing that Zhang Shan did not mention the blunt hit from earlier, Bai Qi felt even more of a headache.
Abiting dog doesn¡¯t bark¡ no, that¡¯s not quite right. Under the calm surface, there must be a storm brewing. It felt like Zhang Shan would retaliate privately. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry about that. Master Zhang Shan may not seem easy to get along with, but he¡¯s famous for being fair and impartial. He absolutely wouldn¡¯t let personal feelings affect his work.¡±
¡°Is that so? Then I¡¯m reassured.¡±
Hearing Bai Qjucha¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi finally breathed a little easier. He then followed Bai Qiucha to the castle gate. After presenting their IDs again, they smoothly entered the main hall of the castle.
Inside the main hall, a good number of the Special Training Beast Masters had already arrived.
However, these Beast Masters clearly had a strong sense of territoriality. They stood in groups of three or four in the hall, without any interaction amongst themselves.
And when Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha entered, all of the Beast Masters¡¯ attention was focused on the two of them.
Some sneakily nced out of the corners of their eyes while others tantly looked them over, but most of the looks were filled with provocation and hostility.
Those who were selected for the Special Training Program were the best of the best, mostly arrogant individuals who were dissatisfied with anyone they met. The difference was simply a matter of whether they repressed or expressed these feelings.
Of course, the most crucial reason was the two¡¯s identities.
One was the well-known child of legend, the other was the rising star developer of Rune Evolution. It would be truly pretentious to say they didn¡¯t recognize the two.
However, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t mind. They directly ignored the provoking gazes and walked towards a corner.
Seeing the demeanor of Bai Qj and Bai Qiucha, the Beast Masters who had arrived earlier could not help but draw back their gazes in disappointment. Many among them were troublemakers, mostly hoping for a show. They were hoping to see Bai Qi or Bai Qiucha lose their cool and start a fight with their ssmates¡±, so they could closely observe their strengths.
But Bai Qi, naturally, was not going to do such foolish things. ording to Old Qin, his rank in the special training was the lowest. If anyone was to step forward, it should be Bai Qiucha, who had already reached the Fourth Stage. However, after Bai Qi surveyed the room, he suddenly quickened his pace toward a slightly awkward-looking young man not far away.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s move, the surrounding Beast Masters instantly became excited again.
Was he about to start something?
It seemed that he had noticed Bai Qi¡¯s approach. The awkward young man also turned around. After recognising it was Bai Qi, he instinctively took a step back. ¡°Gu Shan, so you¡¯re here too?¡±
In this unfamiliar environment, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t nning on taking the initiative to interact with these people. But he didn¡¯t expect to see a familiar face here.
Gu Shan was clearly still immersed in the trauma of being defeated by Bai Qi. He was stunned for a while before responding to Bai Qi¡¯s question.
¡°Yeah, the president said I shouldn¡¯t waste my Dual Talents, so he sent me in too.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Gu Shan¡¯s two talents were quite good individually. Having them both in one person made him twice as valuable. If Cui Ming didn¡¯t pay attention to this, he would truly be failing as the branch president.
But young people should be careful about what they say in public settings, as it can easily draw resentment.
Indeed, after Gu Shan revealed his Dual Talents, quite a few people shifted their attention to him.
Dual-Talent users, the probability of encountering one is even lower than hitting the jackpot on a random Federation lottery ticket. They hadn¡¯t expected to meet one at this training session.
Soon, most of the Beast Masters¡¯ attention in the hall was focused on Gu Shan, and the initially attention-grabbing Bai Qi was slowly overlooked.
It seemed as if this was not bad either.
Feeling fewer and fewer gazes on him, Bai Qi silently breathed a sigh of relief Meanwhile, Gu Shan bore the pressure that should have been on Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha with tears in his eyes.
Did I say something wrong again?
As expected, mother was right. I should speak less when outside. Otherwise, I might offend people.
Thinking of this, Gu Shan tightly closed his mouth, no longer speaking. Bai Qi also felt it was inappropriate to continue to pit Gu Shan against others, so he leaned against a wall and started to drink God¡¯s Water.
Although the fight with Zhang Shan did notst long, Alpha had sustained some damage. To prevent any unexpected incidents, Bai Qi immediately put Alpha in the Evolution Egg to speed up recovery.
The saying goes that bad thingse easily while good things don¡¯t. Just as Bai Qi was closing his eyes to rest, a tall woman suddenly walked over to him. The surrounding Beast Masters also instantly perked up, refocusing their attention on Bai Qi.
The woman walked up to Bai Qi, extended her hand and said:
¡°Hello, can we get to know each other?¡±
Bai Qi opened his eyes and looked around. ¡°You¡¯re looking for me?¡±
The woman nodded with a smile, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s you, Bai Qi.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and curiously scrutinized the woman.
Although she was covered in a long windbreaker, her figure was still visible. Despite wearing a pair of nerdy sses on her face, it failed to hide her exquisite features.
Wow, she¡¯s definitely a beauty.
But the woman seemed to enjoy Bai Qi¡¯s appraising gaze as well; she held her head up unconsciously, but froze in ce after hearing what Bai Qi asked next.
¡°Uh, I don¡¯t owe you any money, do I?¡±
She let out a sigh as if at a loss for words, then rposed herself, ¡°My name is Lu Qing. I¡¯m a student at the Tower of Knowledge specializing in runes. I¡¯ve heard you¡¯re the founder of rune evolution, and I wanted to get to knowyou.¡± Relieved at hearing this, Bai Qi thought to himself that, traditionally, when a beautiful woman approached him uninvited, it was either to collect a debt or seek revenge-being handsome was of no benefit in such situations.
However, this Lu Qmg was apparently a member of the Six Towers. No wonder all the guys around were so excited.
The Six Towers were at the core of the Beast Master Association.
These were the Tower of Decision, Holy Relic Tower, Moon Night Tower, Tower of Competition, Tower of Knowledge, and Schizonepeta Tower.
Legend had it that these six towers were left behind by beings of nearly mythical standing throughout the Association¡¯s history. However, none of them seemed to make it to the mythical level and left their Secret Realm Towers here instead.
The Tower of Knowledge was specifically designed for storing all sorts of references, evolutionary forms, and rted information in the possession of the Association.
Simply put, it was the Association¡¯s exclusive library.
Being a student of the Tower of Knowledge, Lu Qing clearly had some solid background. She was definitely in a different leaguepared to a half-baked practitioner like him.
¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not exactly big on studying runes. I¡¯m afraid I might disappoint you.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s response, Lu Qing frowned.
How could the founder of rune evolution possibly im that he had little knowledge of runes? If he did not want to share his knowledge, he should have said so directly. Why concoct such an absurd excuse?
¡°In that case, I¡¯m sorry for bothering you.¡±
Rejected by Bai Qi on such a flippant pretext, she decided not to press on. She turned around and was about to leave when a young woman in sports attire suddenly emerged from the crowd. Giving Bai Qi a once-over, she said, ¡°Hey you¡¯re Bai Qi, huh? You are pretty cute. I can see why Qing¡¯er keeps mentioning you all the time.¡±
Upon hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s words, Bai Qi was taken aback. The surrounding onlookers were instantly up his throat, showering him with hostile nces.
It¡¯s rare to see a beauty or two in the Special Training Program, and this guy has already snagged one?
Deserves to die!
Zhou Yan, stop your nonsense or I¡¯ll sew your mouth shut.¡±
Looking at Zhou Yan¡¯s snide face, Lu Qing wasn¡¯t even slightly abashed. She pushed up her sses and spoke calmly.
¡°Uh, forgetit.¡±
Chagrined, Zhou Yan broke into a smile. Noticing the hostile nces of the Beast Masters around her, her eyes widened. Hands on hips, she shouted at them, ¡°What are you looking at? You want to fight?!¡±
At this, some of the knowledgeable Beast Masters turned away, daring not to look anymore. Those who didn¡¯t know any better noticed that Zhou Yan was not to be messed with and also averted their gaze.
¡°Holy shit, she¡¯s fierce.¡±
Witnessing Zhou Yan scare off so many Beast Masters with just one sentence, Bai Qi was in awe. Just when he was about to inquire about her from Bai Qiucha he noticed that she had discreetly slipped away.
¡°Bai Qiucha, where are you going?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s words stopped Bai Qiucha in her tracks. Zhou Yan also immediately noticed Bai Qiucha¡¯s presence, quickly dashed over to her.
Xiao Bai, you¡¯re here too? Come, apany your sister in a fight. I¡¯ve been itching for a bout for ages.¡±
Bai Qiucha turned around stiffly and grinned at Zhou Yan awkwardly, ¡°Sister Yan, it¡¯s you, huh?¡±
Duh, if not me then who? Wait¡you¡¯ve reached the fourth stage?¡±
Zhou Yan swiftly noticed the four rune marks on Bai Qiucha¡¯s hand, a gleam in her eyes.
¡°Great! Now I won¡¯t have to hold back when I fight you.¡±
At Zhou Yan¡¯s words, a bitter look crossed Bai Qiucha¡¯s face.
Oh, Sister Yan, I have something to discuss with a friend. Can I fight with you another time?¡±
¡°Friend? Which friend?¡±
Zhou Yan scanned the surrounding, asking back. Only then did Bai Qiucha realize that Bai Qi had disappeared, and the Beast Masters who knew what was going on had quickly left the danger zone, except for Gu Shan who was still standing there, frozen.
¡°You mean him? That¡¯s perfect. I don¡¯t like one-on-one fights anyway. We¡¯ll just have a two-on-one.¡±
With that, Zhou Yan dragged Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan towards the battlefield on the side.
Only after they had left did Bai Qi appear again, easing his breath discreetly as he watched them leaving.
He definitely didn¡¯t want to mess with someone Bai Qiucha-who was always itching to fight him¡ªwas apparently wary of. He pitied Gu Shan, though, who was drawn into the fight for no reason at all.
Well, he thought, let¡¯s observe three seconds of silence in their honor.
Chapter 113 - 112: The Little Wish of the Mud Monster
Chapter 113: Chapter 112: The Little Wish of the Mud Monster
Trantor: 549690339
Just as Zhou Yan was dragging Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan towards the battlefield, the entrance door of the hall was suddenly kicked open by someone. The clear sound of shattering drew everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°What a shoddy door, it can¡¯t even withstand a kick.¡±
A robust woman walked in from outside, ring at the wobbly door with disdain and spat.
Wow, are all the female Beast Masters at the headquarters so fierce?
Bai Qi stood stunned, looking at the woman in front of him and couldn¡¯t utter a word. The other Beast Masters around him were also equally shocked.
As for the rest, they seemed to have guessed something, their faces filled with despair.
The rumor turned out to be true. The chief instructor of this training session is truly this wild woman.
A Master of the Sunrise Level, abat enthusiast known as the ¡°Fist of Songlin,¡± Leng Feifei.
Afterining about some of the Logistics officers, Leng Feifei started to examine the Beast Masters in the hall.
¡°Teacher, you¡¯re here!¡±
Immediately sighting Leng Feifei¡¯s appearance, Zhou Yan dropped Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan and excitedly ran towards her. As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Leng Feifeinded a hefty punch on her head.
¡°You¡¯re bouncing around like a kangaroo, don¡¯t you have any poise as ady? Can¡¯t you learn from people like Lu Qing, and didn¡¯t I tell you what to call me here?¡±
Zhou Yan covered the back of her head with a wronged look, secretly stuck her tongue out at Lu Qing, and quickly straightened her body to bow respectfully to Leng Feifei.
¡°Good Morning, Chief Instructor!¡±
Leng Feifei nodded satisfactorily. However, the Beast Masters from various parts of the Federation inevitably looked at the damaged door behind her, then at the athletically built Leng Feifei and shivered uncontrobly.
Just a kick from her could shatter a metal door. If they were at the receiving end, they would not stand a chance.
Mum, I want to go home!
After admonishing Zhou Yan for a while, Leng Feifei finally turned her gaze towards the Beast Masters in the hall. Wherever her gaze reached, none dared to make eye contact.
¡°Hmph! This year¡¯s students are really boring.¡±
Leng Feifei shook her head, saying, ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit troublesome, let me introduce myself formally. I am Leng Feifei, your chief instructor for this training session.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll make it clear from the start, if you came here just to have a good time, I suggest you leave immediately. Don¡¯t waste each other¡¯s time, or else I assure you theing days won¡¯t be pleasant.¡±
¡°You all have one day to consider. Those who want to stay should gather here at eight o¡¯clock tomorrow morning.¡±
¡°By the way, remember, I don¡¯t liketers.¡±
After saying her piece, Leng Feifei turned and left without hesitation. Seeing this, Zhou Yan could only regretfully let go of Bai Qiucha, pinched Bai Qiucha¡¯s chubby face hard, and silently followed.
¡°Whew- I was saved¡¡±
Upon seeing Zhou Yan leave, Bai Qiucha finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly approached him and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you this flustered before. What on earth did Zhou Yan do to you?¡±
Having interacted with Bai Qiucha over the past few days, Bai Qi had started to gain a preliminary understanding of him.
There was no need to mention his extraordinary talent; the unique Spirit Master ability of the Federation made it difficult for him not to be a legend.
His family background was also impressive; he was the heir to one of the oldest families in the association and the Titled Legendary Son.
These two factors contributed to Bai Qiucha¡¯s solid self-confidence and self- esteem.
Had he not been deceived by Bai Qi, with Qiucha¡¯s character, he would probably still be at odds with the Tower of Gratitude.
The fact that such a person was disying fear to another Beast Master was indeed shocking.
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha rarely rolled his eyes, saying, ¡°If you were beaten by Sister Yan since childhood for over ten years, you¡¯d probably be worse off than me.¡±
Beaten for over ten years?
Poor kid.
Bai Qi sympathetically patted Bai Qiucha¡¯s shoulder in constion.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s reaction, Bai Qiucha irritably said, ¡°Don¡¯t get too happy too soon. Aunt Leng is Sister Yan¡¯s teacher. Her passion forbat surpasses even Sister Yan¡¯s. So, if you want to sessfullyplete the training, you better mentally prepare.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s smile immediately froze on his face. If even Zhou Yan was scared to breathe heavily in front of Leng Feifei, one could only imagine how terrifying Leng Feifei was.
Thinking about it, Zhang Shan might seem quite cute inparison.
At least, Zhang Shan wouldn¡¯t kick down a door.
Whatever, let¡¯s take one step at a time.
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and was then led by the Association staff to the academy dormitory by the castle.
Matching the overall style of the surroundings, the students¡¯ dormitory also adopted an ancient design. However, it was fully equipped and was single-roomed, which Bai Qi appreciated.
Finally, not having to experience living in an eight-person dormitory like his previous life.
Bai Qi and others reported quitete, so the dorms were almost full, leaving only a corner for Bai Qi.
Bai Qi didn¡¯t mind this. After all, he spent at least half of his twenty-four hours a day in the mysteries. The dorm was truly just for sleeping. There was basically no difference between giving him akeside room or a basement.
Bai Qiucha, as the future sessor of the Bai family, naturally had a mansion in Songlin City.
However, Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t seem to want to make it too special, so he also opened a dormitory room opposite Bai Qi.
¡°Considering Aunt Leng¡¯s personality, there¡¯s a good chance of abat test tomorrow, so you should rest well today.¡±
Bai Qiucha reminded Bai Qi and then closed the dormitory door. It was apparent that he was still holding a grudge against Bai Qi for abandoning him.
Bai Qi shrugged off this situation, unfazed. He had already gotten used to Bai Qiucha¡¯s tsundere image and went straight into the mysteries after entering the dormitory.
He spent thest few days on Bai Qiucha¡¯s private ne. To avoid suddenly appearing mid-air while entering and exiting the mysteries, Bai Qi hadn¡¯t entered them for a few days. Now, he finally got a chance, so naturally, he wanted to check on the situation there.
Aw-woooo¡
(Human, I admit my mistake, please take this thing away¡)
As soon as Bai Qi entered the secret realm, the Husky rushed to him frantically, looking at Bai Qi with a face full of grief.
Seeing Husky looking like this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh.
The idiot had been subdued by Alpha but was not discouraged, but now it actually surrendered to a slime monster?
There¡¯s always something out there that can defeat another, this saying really was true.
The Slime Monster seemed to sense Bai Qi¡¯s arrival, its jelly-like body suddenly sprouting tworge eyes. After looking at Bai Qi for a few moments, it jumped onto Bai Qi, and then began to dance wildly.
Bilop, bllop.
¡°Uh, I have no idea what you¡¯re trying to say.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, he had not established a contract with the Slime Monster, so he couldn¡¯t understand what it was thinking.
Just as Bai Qi was feeling perplexed, Schuck, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly woke up and said, ¡°It says it¡¯s very happy living here, and it¡¯s asking if you, Beast Master, could not send it away.¡±
¡°Schuck, can you understand the Slime Monster¡¯s dialect?¡±
Schuck shook his head and said, ¡°Of course I can¡¯t understand, but Beta can.¡±
Bai Qi then realized, Beta¡¯s Soul Whisper could allow it to make a connection with someone else¡¯s soul, understanding the Slime Monster¡¯snguage was certainly not a problem.
¡°Beta, you¡¯re finally useful.¡±
Bai Qi patted Beta¡¯s head with relief, ¡°Tell it for me, I won¡¯t send it away.¡±
Although he was still uncertain about whether to form a contract with the Slime Monster as his third pet beast or not, Bai Qi did not n on letting it go even if he decided not to.
After all, it was a mutant species, if not now, he could always keep it for contractingter. It¡¯s not too much trouble to feed it.
Woof woof!
(I refuse!)
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s n to keep the Slime Monster, Beta turned its head away and ignored Bai Qi.
Bai Qi asked, ¡°Is that so? I was actually thinking about bringing you out to y, but it seems there¡¯s no need now?¡±
Aw-woo?
(Go out to y?)
Beta¡¯s eyes lit up at those words. If it could go outside, wouldn¡¯t it have the chance to get rid of this annoying slime?
Thinking about finally being able to free itself from the Slime Monster¡¯s bondage, Beta immediately made contact with the Slime Monster.
Woof, woof!
Bllop, bllop.
Woof, woof!
Bllop, bllop.
The dog and the Slime Monster happily beganmunicating and quickly came to a conclusion.
Woof, woof!
(Human, it understands your intentions, but it¡¯s asking if it can stay in a different ce.)
Bai Qi asked in confusion, ¡°A different ce? Where?¡±
Beta nced at Alpha¡¯s direction but remained silent. Bai Qi then looked at Beta suspiciously, ¡°This isn¡¯t you settling scores, is it?¡±
Aw-woooo!
¡°Human, you¡¯re insulting my doggy dignity!¡±
Beta retorted Bai Qi¡¯s words indignantly, but the shifting of its eyes exposed its true intentions.
¡°Schuck, maybe you should take over.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Schuck, who immediately understood what to do. He directly stunned Beta and took full control of its body.
¡°Beast Master, I suggest you also integrate the Thunder Stone into my evolutionary process, as this body¡¯s electric resistance is increasing.¡±
After stunning Beta, Schuck made a very serious suggestion to Bai Qi.
¡°Uh, okay.¡±
Bai Qi nodded at Schuck¡¯s words. Schuck, an intelligence borne from the same body, was pretty ruthless to itself. It made him wonder if bing fused with the smart brain made its thinking be mechanical as well.
Poor Beta.
Though, Schuck¡¯s suggestion was indeed a good one. Like that Thunder Roar Cannon fromst time, if Husky couldmand both thunder and fire abilities, it would undoubtedly be a lot more convenient.
It didn¡¯t take long for Schuck to finishmunicating with the Slime Monster, exposing its real thoughts to Bai Qi.
The request was simple, just ensure it¡¯s well-fed.
¡°I see, that¡¯s easy to solve. There are lots of things I can¡¯t provide, but three meals a day is no problem, you can stay here without worry.¡±
Looking at the gradually forming nting area in the secret realm, Bai Qi made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life!
¡°As long as it doesn¡¯t cause destruction, you can eat anything else, eat your fill!¡±
Chapter 114 - 113: The Start of Training Camp
Chapter 114: Chapter 113: The Start of Training Camp
Trantor: 549690339
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, the slime¡¯s eyes narrowed into a thin slit and rubbed affectionately on Bai Qi¡¯s face before hopping and bouncing towards the nting area.
It was a bit tired of the taste of st Power recently and wanted to try something new.
Blorp blorp?
The slime reached a pile of Soul-Calming Grass and curiously prodded it. Suddenly, it expanded, swallowing the entire pile of the grass.
Belch-
After devouring such arge pile of Soul-Calming Grass, the slime seemed quite satisfied. It let out a full burp andy motionless on the spot. Its body, which had be bright red from ingesting arge amount of st Power, gradually became transparent.
Seeing the slime in this state, Bai Qi, who had originally nned to discuss the secret realm transformation with Schuck, was stunned on the spot.
¡°Schuck, didn¡¯t I just say I¡¯d feed it all it wants?¡±
Schuck nodded his head and said, ¡°So, Beast Master, are you nning to go back on your word?¡±
Bai Qi stiffened at his words, and said, ¡°Of course not. I am always a man of my word!¡±
With that, Bai Qi walked over to the slime, hugged it in his arms, and said, ¡°Ahem, but the recent secret realm transformation has been a bit chaotic. I think I¡¯d better take this little guy out first.¡±
Schuck:¡±¡¡±
After Bai Qi left the Secret Realm, he looked at the zing sun outside the window and decided against going out. He directly replenished Alpha, who had juste out of the Evolution Egg, with an egg and tossed the slime to one side. Then he started toying with the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube.
Recently, because he was busy studying Rune Evolution, Bai Qi basically had no time to study the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube. Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to give it a thorough inspection.
ording to the results of his previous research, a low- level servant could carry one rune, a mid-level servant two¡a high-grade elite six, and so on. Almost every bloodline small level could carry one more rune.
Now that Alpha had been promoted to the Intermediate Lord Level, in theory, it should be able to carry two more runes. Bai Qi naturally wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity to enhance their power.
Moreover, ying with this Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube actually enhanced his Spirit Power. Although the effect wasn¡¯t as noticeable as using the Evolution Egg, it was all about steady progress and umting small gains.
Bai Qi had already observed in the assembly hall that the lowest level of the other participants was around three while there were a few at level four.
As for level five, in theory, they shouldn¡¯t need toe here for training.
Knock Knock Knock!
Just as Bai Qi was engrossed in solving the tenth-order Rubik¡¯s Cube, a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.
Bai Qi was a stranger here, and the only two people he knew were Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan.
ording to Gu Shan¡¯s reticent nature, the chances of him taking the initiative to approach were slim. So it might be Bai Qiucha.
¡°I hope he¡¯s not here to get back at me for this morning¡¯s incident¡¡± Bai Qi thought to himself with some unease. After all, he had hitched a ride on the other¡¯s private ne. His actions were indeed a bit out of line.
If it really came to that, he¡¯d let him have a go at it.
Bai Qi gritted his teeth and silently made up his mind. He then opened the door, only to find Luo Xiang standing there.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect to catch up with you. I thought you¡¯d bete.¡±
Luo Xiang sized up Bai Qi and said, ¡°So, how is it? Getting along with Zhang Shan okay?¡±
¡°Heh¡ I¡¯m not dead yet.¡±
Bai Qi chuckled and turned to walk into the room, with Luo Xiang not hesitating to follow him in.
¡°Brother Luo, didn¡¯tyou just say you were in a hurry? Howe you¡¯re back so soon? Have you already taken care of it?¡±
Returning to the room, Bai Qi casually put the Rubik¡¯s Cube aside, and asked.
¡°Notyet, but I¡¯m also one of the instructors for this training, I had toe back either way.¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, and said, ¡°Also, stop calling me ¡®Team Leader.¡± It sounds weird. Just call me by my name or Brother Luo, like Cha does.¡±
¡°Uh, Brother Luo, you¡¯re also an instructor?¡±
¡°I am the Master of the Sunrise Level after all. Is it really that strange to be an instructor?¡±
¡°Not strange at all. It¡¯s entirely reasonable!¡±
Bai Qi yanked the corner of his mouth. Given Luo Xiang¡¯s character, he was pretty sure that Luo Xiang would just provide a few clues and let him figure the rest out.
Speaking from experience, no objections allowed.
¡°But I won¡¯t stay for long. Most of the time, the training will be handled by the head instructor.¡±
With that, a sympathetic expression crossed Luo Xiang¡¯s face, and he said, ¡°Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you, you¡¯d better bring plenty of supplements for the uing training. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to handle it otherwise.¡± Supplements?
Sorry, that¡¯s one thing I¡¯ve got plenty of.
Bai Qi quietly noted Luo Xiang¡¯s advice. Luo Xiang noticed the slime on Bai Qi¡¯s bedside and was instantly intrigued, picking it up.
¡°A slime? Are you nning on doing some sort of research again?¡±
Luo Xiang naturally knew about Bai Qi¡¯s previous research on rune evolution. Upon seeing the slime, he immediately had this thought.
¡°You think too highly of me. How on earth would I research a slime¡¡±
Luo Xiang chuckled, ¡°Who knows? After all, before you, no one thought about tattooing their pets with a rune engraving knife. On my way here, I¡¯ve heard about quite a few people trying to add runes to their pets.¡±
Holy crap, is the tattoo era reallying?
Bai Qi looked somewhat surprised, while Luo Xiang continued, ¡°But as far as I know, nearly all of them have failed.¡±
As Bai Qi had originally predicted, most pets¡¯ body structures were far moreplex than undead creatures. This presented a fatal problem for runes, which required stable energy cirction. It seemed that there would be plenty of research to do if they wanted to poprize rune evolution amongst other pets.
¡°By the way, Brother Luo, did youe looking for me just to talk about this?¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, ¡°Of course, there¡¯s something else.¡±
¡°This training program is thergest one in recent years. Besides improving the younger generation¡¯s abilities, it¡¯s also meant to select students for the Six Tower.¡±
¡°Students of the Six Tower? Like Lu Qing?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows rose, immediately recalling Lu Qing, who had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with him previously.
¡°You¡¯ve already met Lu Qing? Well, he does primarily focus on runes, so it¡¯s natural that he would be interested in you.¡±
Luo Xiang said, ¡°Since you¡¯vealready been in contact, I assume you¡¯re familiar with the history of the Six Tower.¡±
¡°The Six Tower, as the core of the association, mainly consists of carefully chosen members. After all, joining the Six Tower means more opportunities and resources. Inparison, the short-term support from intensive training doesn¡¯t quite measure up.¡±
¡°So what I¡¯m saying is, if you don¡¯t have any particr ce you want to join after graduation, you might consider striving for it.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded. Naturally, obtaining more resources was beneficial. However, he was the lowest-ranked in this training program, so whether he couldpete for a spot would ultimately depend on fate.
¡°Oh right, this training program operates on a points system. You can exchange points for materials within the Holy Relic Tower ¡ª even mythical materials can be exchanged!¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi abruptly stood up, his eyes full of determination.
He was determinated to get his hands on the mythical materials inside the Holy Relic Tower, and no one, not even the president himself, could stop him. He had his own words on that!
Gathering hall.
Full of energy, Bai Qi arrived at the hall early with Bai Qiucha, hoping to prepare ahead. However, he found that the hall was already packed; he was actually among thest arrivals.
There are overachievers everywhere these days¡
Bai Qi quietly sighed before he closed his eyes to meditate on the spot, waiting for Leng Feifei¡¯s arrival.
ording to Bai Qiucha, there was a high likelihood that arge-scale battle would take ce today to assess the abilities of all students, and possibly rank them, thereby encouragingpetition among the students.
Bai Qi was quite familiar with these tactics, so he wasn¡¯t surprised.
Finally, at exactly eight o¡¯clock, Leng Feifei made her timely appearance in the gathering hall. With her were Luo Xiang, Zhang Shan, and a few other people Bai Qi didn¡¯t recognize.
It appeared that they were going to be the instructors for this training program.
After a quick nce at the essentially unchanged number of students, she nodded, and then threw out a palm-sized wooden door.
The wooden door grew with the wind, quickly ergifying into a ten-person high size, standing tall in the middle of the gathering hall.
¡°Is that¡ the entrance to the Secret Realm?¡±
The instant Leng Feifei took out the wooden door, Bai Qi immediately sensed an aura simr to that of the Secret Realm Ring. After seeing the deep passage behind the door, he was convinced this was the case.
Is today¡¯s content going to take ce within the Secret Realm?
¡°Since you chose to stay, I assume you¡¯ve prepared mentally. So now, I¡¯ll announce the first task for this training session: running!¡±
Running?
The Beast Masters began to whisper amongst themselves in surprise, clearly not expecting Leng Feifei¡¯s task to be so simple.
¡°Tsk, these youngsters are still too naive, thinking that running will be as easy as pie. It might not be the hardest task, but it certainly is the most torturous one,¡± Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t help but snicker, while Zhang Shan coldly warned him, ¡°Mind your image. And leaking the content of the training just now counts as disclosing confidential information. 1 will report this to the Schizonepeta Tower.¡±
¡°Such a buzzkill.¡±
Luo Xiang sighed, but obediently shut his mouth. The Schizonepeta Tower wasn¡¯t a ce for just anyone. If he provoked this guy too much, it was entirely possible he would be sent there.
One must choose one¡¯s friends wisely ¡
Bai Qi looked at the Secret Realm¡¯s entrance in front of him and then at Luo Xiang, who was casting a mysterious smile his way. He sensed something was off.
If all they were doing was running, there was no need to decamp into the Secret Realm. There were plenty of open spaces in Songlin City.
Seeing this, Leng Feifei didn¡¯t waste any more words. She took the lead in passing through the entrance to the Secret Realm, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll lead the way. Until I stop running, the task doesn¡¯t end.¡±
Without waiting for the Beast Masters to react, she immediately started running into the entrance, disappearing into the passage soon after.
Seeing this, the Beast Masters stopped hesitating and hurried after her. Bai Qi was no exception. He stepped in withoutgging behind.
However, in the moment he crossed the gate, he felt his body sinking and almost lost his bnce.
Others weren¡¯t as lucky. They fell to the ground as soon as they entered the gate. The people behind them didn¡¯t have time to avoid and ended up in a heap together.
Looking at their embarrassing state, Bai Qi silently distanced himself. He tried moving a bit and quickly noticed the anomaly here.
The gravity here seems to be much stronger than outside.
Chapter 115 - 114: Tearing Ferocious Beasts Apart With Bare Hands Isn’t A Dream?
Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Tearing Ferocious Beasts Apart With Bare Hands Isn¡¯t A Dream?
Trantor: 549690339
Watching the Beast Masters around him lose bnce due to the sudden change in gravity, Bai Qi took out a steel ball from his secret realm and casually threw it to roughly judge the gravity difference here.
¡°Almost double the gravity, huh¡¡±
Bai Qi moved his body around, slowly adapting to the gravity here. Meanwhile, individuals like Bai Qiucha, Zhou Yan, and some other Four Stage Beast Masters had already taken the lead after a brief pause.
Being Four Stage Beast Masters, their physical quality was naturally much betterpared to that of the Third Stage Beast Masters. Especially for someone like Zhou Yan, who had been physically training since a young age, this level of gravity difference was almost negligible.
However, after a brief adaptation period, Bai Qi quickly adjusted his pace and kept up with the Four Stage Beast Masters, leaving the Third Stage Beast Masters gaping in surprise.
Was this guy really a Second Stage Beast Master?
¡°Hey, I thought you¡¯d be weak like those nerds. Didn¡¯t expect you to be in such good shape. How about we spar sometime?¡±
Seeing that Bai Qi was swiftly following them, Zhou Yan¡¯s interest in Bai Qi piqued.
¡°Eh, let¡¯s not. I¡¯m only at the second stage, I can¡¯t hold up in a fight.¡±
Bai Qi immediately shook his head at Zhou Yan¡¯s proposition, deciding that it was better not to provoke a powerful face who had been chasing after and beating Bai Qiucha for over a decade.
¡°Fair enough, Bai Qi, make sure to keep at it. I¡¯lle and find you once you¡¯re at the third stage.¡±
Zhou Yan nodded, looked at the group of Third Stage Beast Masters catching up from behind, and suddenly elerated to catch up with Leng Feifei.
Although Leng Feifei was leading, she always maintained a fixed distance from the first batch of students. Now that Zhou Yan had sped up, Leng Feifei1 s speed also increased, making the Beast Masters behind her grumble in dismay.
They were Beast Masters, not warriors, and they had spent almost all their time improving their spirit power. They couldn¡¯t handle Leng Feifei¡¯s torment with just the physical strength buff their pets provided.
However, grumbling aside, these young Beast Masters gritted their teeth and pursued.
Aside from their individual talents, they were chosen for specialized training because of their mental aptitudes. More importantly, they all shared amon goal.
Joining the Six Tower!
Watching the Beast Masters behind him gritting their teeth and pressing on, Bai Qi once again recognized the benefits the Evolution Egg granted him.
A physique that surpasses ordinary Beast Masters!
If he, at only the Second stage, was already catching up with the physicality of the Four Stage Beast Masters, how terrifying would his physical strength be once he became a legend?
Perhaps, tearing ferocious beasts apart with his bare hands wasn¡¯t just a dream?!
Thinking of that, Bai Qi was suddenly filled with excitement. A small goal gradually formed in his heart.
Be a Legendary Beast Master!
Due to the special maic field in this secret realm, the timing devices of all the Beast Masters were practically useless, with most of them unaware of how long they had been running. Sensibly, they just continued to move forward after the group in front of them.
At the same time, the young Beast Masters who had entered the passage at the same time were gradually separating.
The leading group was still headed by Four Stage Beast Masters like Zhou Yan, although a few Third Stage Beast Masters, who had obviously undergone relevant training, had slowly joined in.
The second group wasposed mostly of Third Stage Beast Masters who were keeping pace with the first group as their differences weren¡¯t that big.
As for the third group, the difference was quite significant.
In this deep and seemingly endless tunnel, those with rtively weak physical constitutions gradually felt an additional burden. As the gap between them and the lead group increased, this burden also grew until they ultimately copsed.
¡°I¡¯m done, I quit!¡±
Finally, a few Beast Masters could no longer bear the strain and they fell to the ground after shouting their intention to quit. This reaction gradually spread among the other Beast Masters around them.
As Bai Qi heard sporadic shrieks from behind and noticed that the tunnel in front of him still didn¡¯t seem to have an end, he couldn¡¯t help but ask Bai Qiucha, ¡°How long do we have to keep running?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, but I guess we may have to keep running for a while.¡±
Although the first group only had seven or eight people, the second group still had a considerable number of people.
Based on his understanding of Leng Feifei, there was no way she would end the test so easily.
¡°Is that so?¡±
Bai Qi nodded in understanding, nced at Gu Shan, who was running out of breath between the first and second groups, and took out a bottle of God¡¯s Water, asking, ¡°Want some?¡±
Gu Shan looked startled and then shookhis head, stating, ¡°Thanks, but I can handle it.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged at Gu Shan¡¯s response. Gu Shan, being one of the only two Second Stage Beast Masters in this training camp, had managed to stay close behind the first group, which greatly surprised Bai Qi.
Was it because of the dual talents?
Just like how Beast pets would use up energy values when casting skills, Beast Masters would also consume physical strength when making use of their talents.
Generally, the higher the quality of the talent, the more physical strength it consumed. Zhang Kai¡¯s Silent Talent, for instance, demanded an exceedingly high level of physical stamina. Otherwise, if Zhang Kai had his talent active throughout, there wouldn¡¯t be anypetition for others.
As for a dual-talent user like Gu Shan, without enough physical strength, he would probably copse from exhaustion just by activating both this talents.
So, that might also be the reason why Leng Feifei took them for an extended run today.
As a crucialponent ofbat, a Beast Master¡¯s ability to maintain their talent greatly influenced battle oues, and increasing their stamina only had advantages, not disadvantages.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel rushed anymore and took a sip from the God¡¯s Water.
It wasn¡¯t that he was running out of energy, itwas just that his mouth felt a bit lonely.
Seeing Bai Qi like this, Lu Qing, who also maintained a leading position, sniffed and said, ¡°Is this God¡¯s Water?¡±
She even vocalized the scent, her nose almost as good as Beta¡¯s.
Bai Qi looked at Lu Qing with some astonishment and nodded.
¡°As a researcher, one should have a healthy physique. Bodies maintained through supplements aren¡¯t useful.¡±
Lu Qing pushed his sses, quickened his pace, passed Bai Qi, and joined Zhou Yan at the forefront.
¡°Was I just mocked?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Lu Qing somewhat nkly while Bai Qiucha tugged at the corner of her mouth with a face full of schadenfreude.
Being targeted by a disciple of the Tower of Knowledge, Bai Qi¡¯s uing days might not be so easy.
¡°That¡¯s the Bai Qi Luo Xiang keeps mentioning, interesting¡¡±
As the group spoke, their conversation escaped Leng Feifei¡¯s attention. As she nced back at the troops behind her, a dangerous glint suddenly shed in Leng Feifei¡¯s eyes.
¡°So, he still has time to flirt. Seems like mere gravity is tooid-back.¡±
No sooner had her words fallen than the previously silent tunnel with only the sounds of footsteps emitted sounds of shifting stones, apanied by the buzz of wings from behind.
¡°These are Bewitching Poison Bees!¡±
[Name]: Bewitching Poison Bees
[Nature]: Toxin System, Insect System
[Growth Level]: Low-level Elite
The poison of the Bewitching Poison Bees was very special. It wouldn¡¯t cause any real damage to opponents, but instead induced all sorts of strange illusions.
If one was not mentally strong enough, they would easily expose their true thoughts.
¡°I want to be the number one in Songlin!¡±
¡°Wu wu wu¡ Mom, I¡¯m afraid of the dark!¡±
¡°A Mao, why did you abandon me? Didn¡¯t we agree to be brothers?¡±
The Bewitching Poison Bees appeared suddenly, and many Beast Masters were affected before they even had the chance to react, turning the lifeless tunnel into a lively spectacle.
¡°Who would have thought, these people have a lot of drama in them¡¡±
Watching the soap-opera-like scene behind him, Bai Qi shivered. He was ready to summon his spirit beast at any moment.
There were too many Bewitching Poison Bees, and he wasn¡¯t sure if he could withstand an attack.
If he ended up like these guys, he wouldn¡¯t have the face to go out.
It wasn¡¯t only Bai Qi who thought this way. A few slower runners had already activated the Curse Mark, preparing to summon their spirit beasts.
¡°A friendly reminder: unless the teacher actively tells you to summon the Beast Control, it¡¯s best not to rely on Beast Control to help. Otherwise¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, several Beast Masters from the back had summoned their spirit beasts to fend off the Bewitching Poison Bees, but before they could do anything, a sh of light came from behind Leng Feifei and knocked down those spirit beasts.
¡°I¡¯ve said, today¡¯s training focus is running, not beast duels. If anyone else summons Beast Control for defense in this tunnel, I¡¯ll count them as disqualified immediately.¡±
Leng Feifei gave a look behind her, the light returned to her side, revealing a fully-armed ghost.
¡°A Soul Race spirit beast?¡±
Bai Qi was a little surprised. Seeing Leng Feifei¡¯s absurd physique, he thought she was just like Wen Ruoshui, both being Combat System Beast Masters. He didn¡¯t expect her to have a Soul Race spirit beast.
¡°Aunt Leng¡¯s Soul of the General isn¡¯t amon Soul Race creature.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s expression, Bai Qiucha was quick to enlighten him. But before she could say more, at the end of the tunnel where it used to stretch into the distance, a light suddenly appeared.
Is it over?!
The Beast Masters instantly saw hope, bursting into a full sprint, finally outrunning the Bewitching Poison Bees.
The Bewitching Poison Bees didn¡¯t chase them any further and instead targeted the Beast Masters who fell behind.
However, Bai Qi and the other Beast Masters who made it out of the tunnel had no sympathy or ridicule for those unlucky ones, their attention waspletely focused on the sight before them.
Upon exiting the tunnel, a massive rainforest appeared before Bai Qi. The foggy forest was so dense that he couldn¡¯t see what was inside.
A chasm separated the tunnel and the rainforest, and only one iron rope connected them across the chasm.
This can¡¯t be their idea to make them climb the rope. So cliche!
Bai Qiined to himself while Leng Feifei had already jumped onto the rope, running towards the other end without looking back.
Well, it looks like that¡¯s the case¡
Chapter 116 - 115: Still Have to Rely on the Dog
Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Still Have to Rely on the Dog
Trantor: 549690339
Soon, Leng Feifei¡¯s figure disappeared into the mist, leaving a group of Beast Masters staring at each other.
Bai Qi walked to the edge of the cliff and looked over.
Hmm, it was so deep that if he fell, he could consider where to go in his next life.
Bai Qi looked at the lock chain swaying in the wind and could not help butin, ¡°So, we are supposed to reach the other side through this lock chain? This training is a bit too thrilling.¡±
¡°Thrilling? The instructor was quite restrained today.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Zhou Yan could not help but licked his lips, took a flip and fell onto the lock chain, swiftly heading towards the other side just like Leng Feifei.
¡°Shall we set off?¡±
Bai Qiucha nced at Bai Qi and followed Zhou Yan¡¯s movement to step on the lock chain. However, after a few steps, she backed up again.
¡°The lock chain is shaking too much, it¡¯s impossible for a normal person to get across.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan in the distance who was walking as if on level ground, feeling a bit strange.
So, in your eyes, two people ahead aren¡¯t normal?
Even though he agreed with her, but my dear, is it really okay to express it so directly?
Looking at Zhou Yan who had suddenly stopped on the lock chain and turned back to look, Bai Qi suddenly understood why Zhou Yan had been beating Bai Qiucha for more than a decade.
Talking bad behind other¡¯s back, who else to beat if not you!
However, despite his criticism, they still had to cross the lock chain.
Bai Qi stared at the lock chain for a while, then took out a measuring tool andpared it to the lock chain, then dumped out a pile of materials from his magical pocket and began assembling them skillfully.
Since they were in a magical space, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t enter his own pocket dimension, but he could take out things from it.
As for the reason, Bai Qi didn¡¯t understand it either.
Bai Qi¡¯s actions attracted a lot of attention, and curious eyes were cast on him.
It was obviously unrealistic to try and cross without relying on their magical creatures, so they wanted to see what good idea Bai Qi coulde up with.
Soon, an electric zip line appeared in Bai Qi¡¯s hand.
Leng Feifei only said that they couldn¡¯t use their magical creatures, she didn¡¯t say they couldn¡¯t use equipment.
Coolly holding the zip line, he came to the lock chain, installed it very skillfully, and then looked at Bai Qiucha, ¡°Do you need me to make one for you?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head. Suddenly, a pair of bone wings appeared behind her, and she simply flew up.
Bone wings? Could it be that Bai Qiucha was also a human-beast hybrid?
Thinking of Bai Heguang¡¯s legendary pet beast, Jiuyou Darkbird, Bai Qi¡¯s gaze suddenly became ambiguous. However, Bai Qiucha quickly exined her situation.
¡°My talent is Soul Communicator, which allows me to turn some of a Beast¡¯s abilities into my own.¡±
pping her wings, Bai Qiucha said, ¡°The instructor only said we couldn¡¯t summon our beasts, she didn¡¯t say we couldn¡¯t use our talents, right?¡±
What? Talents can be used this way?
Looking at the rapidly innovating Bai Qiucha, Bai Qi¡¯s worldview was once again broken.
Using one¡¯s own talents to pass was indeed not a vition. However, the Soul Communicator¡¯s talents were a bit too much.
Bai Qi looked at the Evolution Egg in the Beast Control Space, silently picturing a few usage methods.
Flying egg? Bomb egg?
Looking at the Evolution Egg lying steadfastly in the Beast Control Space, Bai Qi silently gave up these unrealistic ideas. He fixed the other end of the electric zip line to his body, then activated the power and headed towards the other end of the lock chain.
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t wait any longer and followed with her bone wings fluttering.
The actions of the two undoubtedly opened a new world to the remaining Beast Masters. There were numerous individuals who tried to use their talents or create tools, and there were also those who simply gave up because they were helpless.
After all, Leng Feifei said that training adopted a point system. As long as they didn¡¯t vite any rules, they would just lose some points at most.
Compared to the dangerous lock chain in front of them, losing a few points was something they could afford.
The lock chain was very long, and the middle swung more violently. However, it didn¡¯t affect Bai Qi. Instead, he took advantage of the wind to elerate towards the other side, even catching up with Zhou Yan, who started first.
¡°Hmm?¡±
Seeing that Bai Qi was able to cross the lock chain in this way, Zhou Yan was curious. However, after seeing the astonishing speed of Bai Qi¡¯s electric zip line, she didn¡¯t care about that anymore and hurriedly elerated her running.
Leng Feifei had arranged simr training for her several times. If she couldn¡¯t be the first to pass, she would have a hard time in the future.
It would be a loss, but given Leng Feifei¡¯s character, she wouldn¡¯t care if her opponent had used other auxiliary tools.
However, as Zhou Yan ran, the already swinging lock chain began to swing more violently, directly affecting the people behind her.
Seeing this, Bai Qi did not dare to be careless and immediately ran the zip line at full power, speeding towards the finish line.
Finally, the zip line reached the end of the lock chain, and Bai Qi flipped onto the ground. Behind him was Zhou Yan with a sad face and Bai Qiucha who was flying in with her bone wings.
¡°Your adaptability is good, not as rigid as some bookworms.¡±
Leng Feifei nced at the electric zip line and said to Bai Qi, ¡°But next time, I hope to see you cross the zip line with your own abilities, understand?¡±
There¡¯s a next time?
Bai Qi was silent, he had a general idea of what his life would be like for the next six months, but he obediently nodded.
After reprimanding Bai Qi, Leng Feifei turned her gaze towards Zhou Yan, the usually fearlessly daring Zhou Yan shivered unconsciously under Leng Feifei¡¯s stare.
¡°It seems like you¡¯ve been too rxed recently, after today¡¯s training, you¡¯re penalized to sprint back and forth on the chain a hundred times!¡±
¡°Yes, teacher!¡±
Hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s decision, Zhou Yan immediately agreed loudly, while he also let out a sigh of relief.
Following the arrival of the three, another group of people arrived consecutively, but the ones who arrived immediately after were not the several Four Stage Beast Masters that Bai Qi had anticipated, but instead Lu Qing.
Lu Qing¡¯s method of advancing was the same as Zhou Yan¡¯s, she also walked over on the chain.
However, it wasn¡¯t due to exceptional physical prowess, but rather the pair of shoes on Lu Qing¡¯s feet that shimmered with the glow of runes.
Was it a treasure artifact?
Bai Qi curiously studied it for a few moments, and memorized the runes on it.
The Rune Department was a major school, not purely for researching runes alone, the study of treasure artifacts was also part of it.
As a product of the previous era, the value of treasure artifacts were not to be underestimated, some powerful ones could even spark a scramble among legends.
Of course, Bai Qi didn¡¯t believe he could make a treasure artifact at this point, but that didn¡¯t stop him from preparing in advance.
One must have dreams, who knows if one day he might seed.
However, Lu Qing clearly noticed the attention from Bai Qi. Afternding, she immediately dispersed the glow of the runes, showing no intention of letting Bai Qi memorize it.
Being rejected by Bai Qi in front of so many people earlier, it was impossible for Lu Qing to not bear a grudge. Now seeing Bai Qi interested in her rune shoes, how could she be willing?
The group waited for a while, but no more people came over the chain, from nearly a hundred students now only dozen remained.
¡°Good, by sessfullypleteing the first task, you¡¯ve proven yourselves having the basic qualifications to bepetent Beast Masters.¡±
Leng Feifei looked around, nodded in approval. With a snap of her fingers, everyone who¡¯d failed in the passage or were blocked by the chain reappeared.
¡°As for you all, considering this was the first round of assessments, I won¡¯t disqualify you yet, I will just deduct the corresponding credits. However, it won¡¯t be so easy next time.¡±
Upon hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s words, the disqualified students felt as if they¡¯d been pardoned, but they quickly fell into worry.
Who knew when Instructor Leng¡¯s next training session would be? If there was another round tomorrow, wouldn¡¯t they be doomed?
However, Instructor Leng clearly had no intention of calming them down.
Turning towards the rainforest behind her, she said, ¡°Now, I¡¯ll announce the second task ¨C eating!¡±
Eh, why do Instructor Leng¡¯s tasks always feel so¡ ordinary?
Bai Qi curiously watched Leng Feifei.
Given the experience from the round before, Bai Qi doubted that this ¡®eating¡¯ task dered by Leng Feifei would be a simple one, it might even be more troublesome than the previous running test.
Sure enough, upon hearing the chatter of the students, Leng Feifei snapped her fingers again and nearly a hundred grilling stands appeared in front of everyone.
¡°Today¡¯s lunch is roast pork, everyone needs to catch a Wood Armor Wild Boar and take it here, otherwise forget about having any meals today.¡±
[Name]: Wood Armor Wild Boar
[Attribute]: Wood Element
[Bloodline Level]: Low-Leevl Elite
Feasting on Low-level elites, the association is sovish!
Bai Qi silently gave Leng Feifei a thumbs-up, although he didn¡¯t mind, the rest of the Beast Masters who hadn¡¯t yet recovered from the previous rounds were quite overwhelmed.
Some of them had directly fallen in the passage while some others fell off climbing the chains.
Although they were all transported away by the secret realm without any injuries, both their physical and spirit powers were substantially drained. If they were to fight now, they would be lucky to use half their abilities.
After all, the state of the pet beasts were also influenced by the Beast Masters. Although this Wood Armor Wild Boar was just low-level elite, it was a social creature, capturing them wasn¡¯t going to be easy.
Above all, the rainforest was sorge, where were they supposed to find a Wood Armor Wild Boar?
Leng Feifei leaned back, sinking into a couch that had popped up out of nowhere. She then took out an hourss and ced it in front of her, ¡°To not disrupt your training this afternoon, the mealtime is limited to one hour. Those who don¡¯t want to go hungry better get moving.¡±
¡°Also, I don¡¯t want to see anyone eating whatever they¡¯ve carried with them.¡±
Bai Qi froze upon hearing this, prepared in advance, was that not directed at him?
Why was she singling him out?
Hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s words, the Beast Masters who¡¯d nned resting a while before resuming their searches immediately got up. Summoning their pet beasts, they charged into the depths of the rainforest.
¡°I¡¯m going ahead.¡±
Bai Qiucha waved a goodbye to Bai Qi, pped her bone wings, and flew towards the rainforest.
It¡¯s indeed beneficial being able to fly.
Watching several people around him summoning flying Beast Control, Bai Qi¡¯s mouth was watering in envy. However, upon remembering the slime in the secret realm, he started to feel a headache again.
Forget it, will see after reaching the third stage.
Bai Qi wiped the corner of his mouth, summoned Husky, informed it of the target, and simrly started to advance into the rainforest.
Even if they could fly, when ites to finding things, they still have to rely on a dog!
Chapter 117 - 116: High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods
Chapter 117: Chapter 116: High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods
Trantor: 549690339
As soon as Bai Qi¡¯s mechanical double-headed wolf appeared, it caught the attention of Lu Qing.
She moved closer to the Husky and, with a single nce, distinguished it from the rest, remarking, ¡°The fusion of mechanical and flesh life? How did you achieve it?¡±
Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Qi replied, ¡°I¡¯m honestly not sure.¡±
He wasn¡¯t dodging the question. Because of his immersion in rune studies recently, he hadn¡¯t really been researching the fusion of machinery and flesh. The entire project had been handed over to Schuck.
As for Husky, which theoretically should have been the Federation¡¯s first case of machinery and flesh fusion, it was entirely due to Evolution Egg. If asked to exin, he couldn¡¯t do it.
He certainly couldn¡¯t tell Lu Qing that it hatched from an egg, could he?
After being rebuffed twice by Bai Qi, a slight frown formed on Lu Qing1 s face.
After all, it was his own research, and it was appropriate not to disclose it to her.
But if he didn¡¯t want to say it, he should have just said so. Pretending to be ignorant was a bit too clumsy.
¡°Hmph!¡±
With that thought, Lu Qjng coldly snorted, summoning her own pet beast and starting to search for the target of their mission.
[Name]: One-eyed Night Hawk
[Nature]: Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
¡°What have I done to upset her now¡ ¡±
Seeing Lu Qing¡¯s attitude, Bai Qi looked bewildered, while Beta on the side had a look of contempt on his face.
Owoof! Owoof!
(Human, are you nning to spend the rest of your life with me¡)
As soon as he heard this, Bai Qi gave Beta a heavy blow, saying, ¡°Enough talk, find me a Wood Armor Wild Boar now.¡±
No sooner had he spoken than Schuck timely provided the data about the Wood Armor Wild Boar.
¡°Wood Armor Wild Boar, covered entirely by highly poisonous wood armor, usually disguised as tree stumps, and using fruit scent from their bodies to attract prey. Moreover, they live in groups, so we just need to find the ce with the strongest fruit scent.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction at the words. They say that the second personality of a schizophrenic ispletely opposite to the original one. That was indeed the case.
Owoof?
(Human, why did I just feel like I was being looked down upon by you?)
Beta looked at Bai Qi suspiciously, but seeing Bai Qi¡¯s threatening look, Beta obediently began to search.
Being in a better position than the over-obsessed pet, Beta had no choice but to submit to Bai Qi, in order to get rid of the clingy slime monster.
Unlike their previous practical experience sessions by Taize Lake and at Danggu Mountain, the moment Bai Qi stepped into the rainforest, a faint sense of danger arose from the bottom of his heart. The normally chatty Beta also quieted down.
This ce was very dangerous¡
¡°Forget it, better summon Alpha too.¡±
Looking at the dark areas between the trees, Bai Qi quietly summoned Alpha as well, and after a moment¡¯s thought, he also summoned the slime monster and held it in his arms.
Judging by the first task, unless you were fatally wounded or chose to give up, Leng Feifei wouldn¡¯t interfere.
Although he had Beta¡¯s sensory ability and Alpha¡¯s protection, theoretically Bai Qi should not have been ambushed. However, having the slime monster with him might have worked wonders at a critical moment.
Woof woof!
(Human, I think I¡¯ve found it!)
Beta¡¯s sensory abilities were far beyond the ordinary. Even in this fog-filled rainforest, they were not affected much, and he quickly arrived at a thicket.
¡°So which of these are the Wood Armor Wild Boars, then?¡±
Bai Qi stared at it for a while but couldn¡¯t spot the difference between the shrubs. He wanted to ask Beta for confirmation, but found that Beta had backed off at some point, covering his nose with a disgusted look on his face.
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Where¡¯s the promised fruit scent? I¡¯m nearly suffocated by the smell.)
Does it stink?
Bai Qi sniffed and detected aplex fruity scent that didn¡¯t smell bad to him. ¡°Beta has a stronger sense of smell; he must have picked up a different scent.¡± Schuck nced at the thicket in front of him, directly activated the thermal imaging system and carefully scanned the whole thicket, immediately finding the presence of the Wood Armor Wild Boar.
¡°Human, I suggest you find a safe ce to stay; there might be trouble.¡±
As he looked at the thermal image Schuck had cast, Bai Qi was momentarily stunned.
No wonder he couldn¡¯t distinguish between the shrubs and the Wood Armor Wild Boar. Turns out the entire thicket was camouge by the Wild Boars!
Bai Qi quickly estimated that there had to be at least a hundred Wood Armor Wild Boars in this thicket.
¡°Alpha, quickly knock one unconscious and take it away without rming the whole herd.¡±
Though Wood Armor Wild Boars were Low-level Elites, with an average Level around the First Stage. However, when they reach a certain number, they can still put up quite a fight.
But it seemed that these wild boars were sleeping, otherwise they would have already detected Bai Qi.
Crack crack.
(Boss, rest assured, leave it to me.)
Alpha waved at Bai Qi, his arm immediately morphing into a massive crystal club. He sneaked up to a Wood Armor Wild Boar and whacked it hard on the head.
Grunts!
With Alpha¡¯s hefty blow, the Wild Boar only managed a couple of grunts before it fell unconscious. The other Wild Boars nearby stirred slightly at the noise but soon went back to sleep.
Being on the outskirts of the rainforest, it was rare for anyone to provoke their group.
Except for a certain she-devil.
¡°Nicely done.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, intending to leave with the Wood Armor Wild Boar, when a sudden shout came from the nearby trees.
¡°I¡¯ve found it! It¡¯s exactly like the one recorded in the book, the Wood Armor Wild Boar is right here!¡±
The owner of the voice was clearly thrilled, not bothering to keep his voice down, and the wild boar herd, which was already showing signs of waking up, instantly came to life.
Snort! Snort!
Apanied by snorts, the bushes rustled, and one by one, the Wood Armor Wild Boars emerged from hiding, revealing their sturdy bodies and began surveying their surroundings.
Where the hell did this foole from?
Watching the wild boar herd being awakened, Bai Qi wished to strangle this fool to death.
Although they hadn¡¯t awakened the herd, Alpha, who was currently carrying a drowsy wild boar, was undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing.
Snort! Roar!
Seeing theirpanion being attacked, the eyes of the Wood Armor Wild Boars instantly turned red and, roaring, charged towards Alpha. The rest of the wild boars followed suit.
¡°What a hassle!¡±
Bai Qi, had no time to scold the fool who had awoken the wild boar herd. He signaled to Alpha, who immediately understood and released the might of the dragon.
The vast dragon might was released, causing the Wood Armor Wild Boars to abandon their fury and rece it with endless fear.
Dragons, regardless of where they were, stood at the top of the food chain. How could they not be afraid?
However, it seemed that Alpha¡¯s dragon might was a bit excessive. After a moment of fear, the Wood Armor Wild Boars rolled their eyes and instantly fainted.
¡°They faint so easily? I wouldn¡¯t have been so cautious if I had known.¡±
Seeing that the herd of Wood Armor Wild Boars was scared into fainting by Alpha¡¯s dragon might, Bai Qi was speechless.
But so be it.
Bai Qi instructed Alpha to switch to a fatty-looking Wood Armor Wild Boar and, humming a little tune, headed back the way he came.
¡°What the hell happened?¡±
After Bai Qi left, the instigator who had awoken the wild boar herd finally arrived. He looked at the fainted wild boars littering the ground and burst intoughter.
¡°They¡¯re all fainted! God is really helping me out! I¡¯m indeed born to be legendary!¡±
A certain foolughed uproariously as he began selecting the best-looking Wood Armor Wild Boars. However, he didn¡¯t get far before he suddenly fainted.
Survival tip: Wood Armor Wild Boars release toxins from their body after they¡¯re scared into fainting. You must remove the wood armor before consuming it.
At the edge of the cliff.
Alpha returned to the barbecue with the Wood Armor Wild Boar, but Zhou Yan had arrived first. Seeing Bai Qi, she provocatively lifted her brow.
This girl is sopetitive, even when eating¡
Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan speechlessly, found a random grill, and gestured for Alpha to drop the wild boar.
¡°Schuck, do you have a recipe for the Wood Armor Wild Boar?¡±
Schuck nodded and promptly handed over the information.
¡°Wood Armor Wild Boar. Due to its wood attribute, the meat is tender and fragrant, requires minimal cooking, just remove the wood armour and roast.¡± That simple?
Bai Qi instinctively nced at Zhou Yan, who was carefully handling the Wood Armor Wild Boar, then looked at the nonchnt Leng Feifei.
Something¡¯s wrong!
Indeed, after a brief pause, Schuck continued his exnation:
¡°However, the Wood Armor Wild Boars¡¯ wood armor contains substantial toxins. If you¡¯re not careful when removing the armor, the toxins can easily seep into the meat. If you identally eat it, you will be poisoned.¡±
I knew it, there¡¯s no way we just catch a wild boar and roast it to finish the task. Bai Qi nced at Alpha, who instantly understood. Hisarms turned into two crystal bone des, quickly cutting into the Wood Armor Wild Boar. He neatly removed the wooden armor in no time.
On the other hand, Zhou Yan, who was still doing the work herself, had only managed to remove half of it.
¡°Holy hell, can you be any faster!¡±
Seeing the situation, Zhou Yan immediately became anxious. A Soul of the
General emerged from her Array and attached itself to her directly, immediately speeding up her actions.
Soul attachment.
Seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s actions, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help feeling envious.
Either it¡¯s fusion or attachment. Can¡¯t any of you just properly be a Beast Master who strategizes from the back?
What a mess!
Bai Qi looked down on Zhou Yan and others in his heart,pletely forgetting his dream of hand ¨C tearing ferocious beasts.
¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡±
Bai Qi shifted his attention, watching Alpha cut the Wood Armor Wild Boar into several pieces. He instructed Beta to light the firewood, leisurely starting the barbecue.
Soon, an enticing aroma filled the entire area, causing the surrounding Beast Masters who had just caught their Wood Armor Wild Boars to swallow their saliva and speed up their pace.
Glop, glop.
The sleeping slime was also awakened by the aroma. Itsrge watery eyes looked around and quickly locked onto its target, leaping right onto it.
But it wasn¡¯t the meat. Rather, it was the pile of Highly Poisonous Wood Armor that Alpha had carved off.
Pork is not as delightful as toxins!

Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Is it Possible to y This Way with a Slime Monster?
Trantor: 549690339
Clearly, the slime monster very much enjoyed the taste of the highly poisonous wood armor. After gulping one down, it immediately began engulfing the next without any pause until its body was filled to the brink. Only then did it settle down.
¡°This little creature really will eat anything.¡±
He remembered that there seemed to be a toxin resistance skill among the slime monster¡¯s abilities. He wondered if it acquired it by eating this way.
In this case, it seemed like it wouldn¡¯t cost too much to raise this little creature.
A smug curve formed at the corner of Bai Qi¡¯s mouth as he quietly expanded the slime monster¡¯s menu a little more.
¡°Let¡¯s eat first,¡± he said.
Bai Qi looked at the now dripping wood armor wild boar meat and took a bite straight away.
The meat was tender and required almost no effort to chew. After swallowing, he could feel a wave of energy flowing from his stomach to the rest of his body, quickly replenishing the energy he had lost while running.
The strength recovery from the meat of a low-level elite creature was indeed impressive, nearly on par with God¡¯s Water, except it couldn¡¯t restore spirit power.
Apparently, he didn¡¯t necessarily need to limit his focus to supplements, nutritious meals seemed to be another good choice.
While Bai Qi was feasting heartily, Beta wasn¡¯t idle either. It squatted beside him, enjoying its own meal. As for Alpha, it was quietly handling the roasting process.
Seeing the one-man-three-pet spectacle, other Beast Masters also hastened their roasting process.
However, it was clear that not many of them had a moving encyclopedia like Schuck. Some of them who camete didn¡¯t even remove the highly poisonous wood armor and just started roasting it.
Everyone had ess to the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook, but it didn¡¯t tell you how to cook wood armored wild boar.
¡°Their wilderness survival skills are too poor. I wonder what the guys back at the guild are doing.¡±
Leng Feifei looked at the so-called elites¡¯ clumsy cooking methods, a flicker of impatience in her eyes.
At this rate, they would have trouble surviving not only in the wilderness but also inrger secret realms.
Sure enough, as time passed, signs of poisoning gradually appeared among some Beast Masters. Some were even so severely poisoned that their whole bodies swelled and glowed green, with the trend of evolving into giants.
¡°Phew, I haven¡¯t had such a satisfying meal for a longtime.¡±
Bai Qi rubbed his bulging belly andid down contentedly on the ground.
Since his awakening into an Evolution Egg, he had gradually adopted the habit of using supplements to curb his hunger. It had been a long time since he had the tangible sense of satiety.
¡°Maybe I should keep a few wild boar in my secret realm. After all, I don¡¯tck a bit of space.¡±
Woof woof!
(I approve!)
Slurp slurp!
(I agree!)
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Husky immediately stopped what it was doing, raised its paws to show its approval. Even the slime monster, who was silently digesting the highly poisonous wood armor, formed a hand to express its opinion by imitating Husky.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but find it amusing.
He¡¯d truly raised two big eaters.
After Bai Qi had eaten his fill, he began to observe the people around him.
Bai Qjucha and Lu Qjng were also quick, having processed the wood armored wild boar and started eating.
However, unlike Bai Qi¡¯s wolfish manner, these two only cooked the most essential parts of the wild boar. They even had a pair of cutlery which they used to eat their pork chops.
Tsk, these big shots do have a refined way of eating. Seeing this, it seemed like he should prepare a cooking kit for the secret realm.
By then, he could cook sweet and sour ribs, red-cooked lion¡¯s head, or twice- cooked pork. Would that not be more delicious than a simple roast?
Bai Qi then looked in another direction. Gu Shan was also in the middle of his meal, and he seemed very skillful, clearly not new to this.
However, some other people were in quite a predicament.
There were some who were knocked out by the toxic fumes from the wood armor before they could even start eating. Others were not fully conscious from eating the meat without properly removing the highly toxic wood armor. There were even those who hadpletely turned green and started wreaking havoc. Out of almost a hundred Beast Masters, only around twenty had a stable lunch.
Soon, an hour had passed, then Leng Feifei finally stood up, looked around, and said, ¡°Time¡¯sup!¡±
As her words fell, the grills in front of everyone disappeared, together with the half-eaten roast pig.
¡°It¡¯s over, Auntie Leng is going to blow a fuse.¡±
Bai Qjucha nced at the chaotic scene and had a pretty good idea of what was about to happen.
¡°Can¡¯t even run or eat properly. What the hell did you guys eat growing up?¡±
As expected, after a short silence, Leng Feifei suddenly exploded, verballyshing out at all the Beast Masters.
¡°You even managed to poison yourselves eating wild boar. You¡¯ re still calling yourselves elites¡ If I were you, I would¡ If you don¡¯t want to die, then hurry up and¡¡±
A series of censored words flew out of Leng Feifei¡¯s mouth like a machine gun. The young Beast Masters¡¯ faces were red and hot, they wanted to retort, but they had no idea where to begin.
¡°How long is Instructor Leng going to scold them? Those guys seem like they¡¯re almost out.¡±
Bai Qi nced at a few people nearby who were gasping more than they were breathing and asked.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, it should stop before anyone of these fes die.¡±
Bai Qiucha shrugged and said, ¡°But for now, we just have to wait.¡±
Bai Qi was silent, following Bai Qiucha¡¯s example, he kept his eyes on his nose and nose on his heart, silently bearing Lip¡¯s baptism of Leng Feifei.
Although it was a little harsh to hear, Leng Feifei¡¯s words were not without merit. Physical strength determined the effectiveness and duration of the Beast Master Talent, and the choice and processing of food decided the survival of the Beast Master in the wilderness.
The two seemingly simple tasks of the day were closely rted to the field adventures of the Beast Master.
Kapok?!
Seeing its food suddenly disappear, the Slime gathered a question mark over its head, seemingly puzzled by where its food had gone.
However, the Slime quickly identified a new target.
The green giants soaked in toxins.
Then, to Bai Qi¡¯s surprise, the Slime bounced over to a student who was deeply poisoned, and swallowed him in one gulp.
¡°Holy cow, that thing can¡¯t be eaten!¡±
Seeing the actions of the Slime, Bai Qi was instantly panicked.
If it had swallowed a student from the special training, he wasn¡¯t even sure if he would be able to leave the ssroom in his lifetime, let alone bing a Legendary Beast Master.
You just can¡¯t raise a glutton.
Fortunately, the Slime didn¡¯t digest the student as he had feared. Instead, it visibly absorbed the toxins from the student¡¯s body and quickly moved onto the next student.
By the time the toxins from thest student were absorbed by the Slime, it hadpletely turned into a big green ball and rolled back to Bai Qi. It spat out a green bubble and fell into a deep sleep.
The Slime is used in this way?
Instructor Leng also noticed the existence of the Slime and suddenly lost the mood to continue the lecture, saying, ¡°The training for today ends here, and the collective training this afternoon is cancelled.¡±
With that, Instructor Leng disappeared on the spot.
¡°Phew, saved atst.¡±
When they saw Instructor Leng leave, the Beast Masters breathed a sigh of relief. After many gave Bai Qi a grateful look, they rested on the spot. Zhou Yan and several others quickly gathered around Bai Qi, staring intently at the Slime. ¡°Bai Qi, this Slime of yours hasn¡¯t been contracted yet, right? Consider it, trade it to me? The price is negotiable!¡±
Zhou Yan showed a strong interest in the Slime and directly stated his intention as soon as he arrived.
¡°Sorry, I still want to keep it for personal use.¡±
Bai Qi responded without hesitation, refusing Zhou Yan¡¯s request.
Physical mutations were one thing, but knowing that this little fellow can also detoxify, Bai Qi would never give it away under any circumstances.
Looking at the resistance skills of this little guy, Bai Qi estimated that it could also absorb other things like radiation, apart from detoxification.
A pet that can remove DEBUFF, he would have to be out of his mind to give it away!
¡°Okay, but I guess a hug won¡¯t hurt.¡±
Zhou Yan sighed a bit disappointingly, then didn¡¯t wait for Bai Qi¡¯s agreement, hugged the Slime in his arms, apparently treating it like a pillow.
¡°That Slime just absorbed arge amount of toxins, if you don¡¯t want everyone here to get poisoned again, you better be gentle.¡±
Watching the Slime constantly changing shape in Zhou Yan¡¯s hand, Lu Qing pushed her sses up and quietly reminded him.
¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of, if worsees to worst, we can let this little guy absorb it back.¡±
Zhou Yan shrugged indifferently, then turned to Bai Qi and looked pitiful. ¡°I mean, Bai Qi, aren¡¯t you really considering selling me this little guy? It¡¯s such a cute pet and it really doesn¡¯t fit into your pet lineup.¡±
Bai Qi was speechless, is there a thing about pet lineup matching these days?
And who said my pets are not cute?
Look at Alpha, then look at Schuck Beta, which one¡
Okay, none of them is really a cute pet.
¡°Never mind, I¡¯ll go and catch one myself another day.¡±
Looking regretfully at the Slime in his hand, glowing like a green gem, Zhou Yan stuffed it back into Bai Qi¡¯s hand. Then he turned around and walked back the way he came.
¡°Now that the afternoon training has been cancelled, I¡¯m going back to train by myself. See you tomorrow.¡±
Looking at Zhou Yan taking the lead, Lu Qing didn¡¯t stay any longer. She pushed her sses and followed Zhou Yan.
¡°Let¡¯s go back too.¡±
Seeing the other Beast Masters leaving one after another, Bai Qi didn¡¯t n to stay any longer.
Discovering the Slime¡¯s new use today, naturally, he wanted to study it carefully.
Could it be possible to build up a Slime with full resistance and that would mean he wouldn¡¯t be affected by any DEBUFF anymore?
Except for not being able to replenish health, this is simply a perfect auxiliary pet beast!
Chapter 119 - 118: Infinite Resistance Stacking?
Chapter 119: Chapter 118: Infinite Resistance Stacking?
Trantor: 549690339
With Head Instructor Leng Feifei absent, the students no longer had any restrictions and quickly returned to the assembly hall, much more rxed on the return trip.
However, seeing that Leng Feifei had not taken away the Secret Realm Gate, they guessed they would be visiting here often in the uing half-year.
Thinking about this, the Beast Masters scattered to prepare for the training the next day.
Although they didn¡¯t know what kind of training would be waiting for them, they had to ensure they passed the first two tasks, or their participation in this training camp would be absolutely pointless.
None of these things mattered to Bai Qi. After leaving the training secret space, he went back to his room, and then entered his own secret space.
¡°Alpha, call Ice Bone and the others over.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi entered the secret space, he had Alpha find the hard-at-work skeleton soldiers and then wake up the slimes, who were sound asleep after a satisfying meal.
¡°Can you absorb their energy?¡±
Ka-pu Ka-pu?
A question mark appeared above the slime¡¯s head; it clearly didn¡¯t understand
Bai Qi¡¯s intent.
¡°Tsk, not having a contract is really troublesome.¡±
Bai Qi reluctantly had to bring out Beta as a trantor again.
Woof woof!
(The human wants you to eat that skeleton.)
Ka-pu?
(Is it tasty?)
Woof woof!
(It¡¯s tasty!)
After serialmunication, the slime finally understood Bai Qi¡¯s intention, its body swiftly ballooning to envelop one Ice Bone soldier.
Then, the cold aura of the Ice Bone began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye until it disappearedpletely. Due to the rapid energy loss, the Ice Bone lost its bnce and copsed.
The Ice Bone was just a mid-level servant with low rank and pitifully low energy value. It simply couldn¡¯t withstand the energy absorption ability of the slime.
¡°This absorption speed seems faster than I thought.
Bai Qi saw this and nodded, then signaled Alpha to pull the slime off the Ice
Bone.
He was counting on these free workers for the secret space transformation, so he couldn¡¯t let the slime drain them too much.
Bai Qi carefully ced his hand on the slime to sense its condition but didn¡¯t find any cold resistance on it.
¡°There¡¯s no sign of frozen resistance. Is the Ice Bone too weak, or does developing resistances require some sort of opportunity?¡±
Bai Qi paused, then said, ¡°Alpha, create an ice crystal barrier, remember to control the intensity.¡±
Ever since the Dark Department Power and Frost Powerbined into Withering Power, Alpha lost the ability to control ice and frost directly and could only control it indirectly through the ice crystal barrier.
Crrrack.
(Master, are you sure you want to do this? I¡¯m afraid it might get hurt.)
Alpha could tell Bai Qi attached great importance to the slime, so it hesitated.
¡°It¡¯s okay, it can handle st Power without dying.¡±
Upon hearing this, Alpha nodded, then carefully conjured up a palm-sized Ice
Crystal Barrier and sent it in front of the slime.
Ka-pu Ka-pu?
(Food?)
The slime circled the Ice Crystal Barrier a few times, then swallowed it in one gulp.
As expected, even though Alpha deliberately weakened the energy on the Ice Crystal Barrier, the slime¡¯s current rank couldn¡¯t quite handle it.
The moment the slime swallowed the Ice Crystal Barrier, it froze instantly.
Cracks appeared on the jade-like surface of its body, as if it were going to shatter at any moment.
¡°Damn, I broke it!¡±
Seeing the condition of the slime, Bai Qi immediately wanted Beta to help thaw
- Just then, the frost on the surface of the slime suddenly shattered, and the slime crawled out from inside, safe and sound.
Ka-pu Ka-pu
¡°It¡¯s delicious, I want more!¡±
The slime seemed to have fallen in love with the taste of the Ice Crystal Barrier.
It jumped onto Alpha and refused to leave.
Awoo¡
(I¡¯m¡ relieved¡)
Seeing this, Beta¡¯s eyes teared up. The once extinguished heart of art in him revived.
Seeing that the slime hadn¡¯t been injured, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, cing his hand on it and began checking its status.
[Name]: Slime
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Nine Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servants
[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption, Mimicry, Corrosion, Toxin Resistance, zing Resistance, Radiation Resistance, Current Resistance, Frost Resistance
[Energy Value): 3000
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡°So it was because the Ice Bone was too weak.¡±
Seeing the frost resistance appear on the slime, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Judging from the current results, as long as the slime absorbs enough attribute energy of sufficient strength and doesn¡¯t die, it can develop corresponding resistances.
Looking at the current situation, if resistances can be stacked indefinitely, provided enough resources and time, perhaps the slime could be the first pet beast in Federation history to have full resistances.
¡°I¡¯m not worried about magic resistance anymore, I wonder how its physical resistance will stack up.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the slime wandering around Alpha, trying to eat the crystals on its body then immediately started the next test.
However, the result did not surprise Bai Qi.
Seeing the slime on the ground, shattered into countless pieces by Alpha¡¯s light tap, Bai Qi was, despite his disappointment, unsurprised.
¡°I must be too greedy to want a slime monster to have both magic and physical resistance talents,¡± Bai Qi mocked himself, but then a confident smile quickly appeared on his face.
Having natural dual resistance was unrealistic, but it seemed possible to cultivate these traitster on.
¡°Let¡¯s get more materials first.¡±
Having preliminary confirmation of the potential for a slime monster to have full magic resistance, Bai Qi didn¡¯t dy any further. He left the secret realm, logged directly onto the association website, and started shopping.
Fire Armor Shell, Thunder Soil, Bone-swallowing Wood¡
Bai Qi bought all sorts of strange attribute materials, the very picture of a spendthrift.
Because he was at the association¡¯s headquarters, Bai Qi¡¯s orders were delivered to him quickly after being ced.
¡°Hello, please sign for your order.¡±
The delivery man had a simr attire to Lu Qing, a one-piece robe. The only difference was the emblem on the chest.
Lu Qing had a book, while the delivery man had a big tree.
This delivery man was also a member of Six Tower.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and was about to take the box from the delivery man, but the man sidestepped him, saying, ¡°Some items inside are easily breakable, I can handle it.¡±
The delivery man carefully ced the box into Bai Qi¡¯s room, then handed him a sheet of paper, saying, ¡°This is a detail of precautions for these items, please be careful.¡±
Bai Qi took the paper given by the delivery man, gave it a quick nce, and was somewhat surprised.
Fire Armor Shell, handle with care as it can produce high temperature and burn the skin if shattered.
Thunder Soil, mild in nature, but shouldn¡¯t be mixed with water and fire attribute materials, as it may trigger thunderstorms.
Bone-swallowing Wood, highly corrosive, rmended to wear gloves when handling. Direct contact with the sap can prate into the bones and cause osteomcia.
The paper was filled with detailed precautions and handling methods for all the materials, far more detailed than the descriptions on the website. Bai Qi had reason to suspect that the delivery man had summarized them himself.
¡°If there is nothing else, I¡¯ll go. There are still many orders for me to deliver.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi reading attentively, the delivery man didn¡¯t n to stay any longer. However, Bai Qi stopped him just as he reached the door.
¡°Hello, did you summarize these all by yourself?¡±
The delivery man nodded and said, ¡°You could say that. I deal with these things all day. I summarized these in my spare time.¡±
Bai Qi asked, ¡°So, you tried them all yourself?¡±
A look of confusion came over the delivery man¡¯s face as he countered, What else?¡±
Well, pretend I didn¡¯t ask.
Feeling a bit aggrieved, Bai Qi nodded and asked, ¡°You are also a member of Six Tower, right?¡±
The delivery man nodded and said, ¡°I forgot to introduce myself, Yi Xiaowei, an apprentice of the Holy Relic Tower.¡±
¡°Bai Qi.¡±
Bai Qi shook hands with Yi Xiaowei, ¡°You seem to be about my age, why haven¡¯t I seen you at the group training?¡±
Shrugging, Yi Xiaowei replied, ¡°I¡¯m not good at fighting, so I don¡¯t waste time on it. Dealing with materials is much morefortable.¡±
Comfortable?
Are you sure the things you do arefortable?
Looking at the dangerous situations Yi Xiaowei had summarized on the paper from his own experiments, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help licking his lips.
In ancient times, there was Shennong who sampled all kinds of nts, now there¡¯s Yi Xiaowei testing all kinds of materials.
There really are so many brave people in this world!
¡°I still have orders to deliver, I can¡¯t chat anymore. If you¡¯re interested in this, you cane and find me at the Holy Relic Towerter.
After checking the time, Yi Xiaowei waved at Bai Qi and hurried away. ¡°Holy Relic Tower¡ Yi Xiaowei¡ I really should go and check it out one day. Bai Qi watched Yi Xiaowei leave, then picked up the materials Yi Xiaowei had delivered and returned to the secret realm.
¡°Slime monster,e, let¡¯s eat some soil and see the effect.
The next day.
The assembly hall.
Having had the experience of the first day, all the Beast Masters who were originally lightly armed were now fully equipped.
Some brought supplements, some brought cooking utensils, and some even brought aplete set of detoxification equipment.
¡°This¡ looks like everyone has been traumatized¡¡±
Bai Qi, hands in his pockets, sauntered into the hall. Seeing the appearance of the other Beast Masters, he couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.
Fortunately, he had the secret space where he could stash everything, or he¡¯d probably look the same.
¡°Bai Qi, where¡¯s your slime monster? Let me y with it.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi arrive, Zhou Yan immediately ran over, eagerly asking Bai Qi for his slime monster.
¡°Um, the slime monster might be a little indisposed these days, why don¡¯t you go and find Bai Qiucha instead?¡±
Bai Qi instantly pictured a slime monster spewing rainbow-colored bubbles and scratched his head awkwardly.
After purchasing arge pile of materials, Bai Qi had been doing various tests on the slime monster. However, the slime monster digested these solid substances slowly. Despite this, it couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of ¡°delicious food¡±, resulting in an expected oue.
It was overfed.
¡°Indisposed? Do slime monsters have genders?¡±
Squeak-
Just as Zhou Yan was puzzled, the door opened slowly with a screeching noise, and all the students immediately turned their gaze toward it.
The visitor was not Leng Feifei as they had expected, but Zhang Shan, who had received Bai Qi and the others when they arrived at Six Tower.
Zhang Shan nced around the room and said, ¡°I¡¯m in charge of today s training task. The project is real-worldbat!¡±
Chapter 120 - 119: The Feeling of Winning Without Effort
Chapter 120: Chapter 119: The Feeling of Winning Without Effort
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Real battles, we aren¡¯t just going to run and eat now, are we?¡±
Upon hearing Zhang Shan¡¯s words, the Beast Masters who had been preparing for today¡¯s mission exchanged looks, feeling like they¡¯d be fools.
This was indeed a thorough maniption.
¡°Quiet!¡±
Facing the chattering crowd of Beast Masters, Zhang Shan¡¯s face turned cold. Everyone felt a chill down their spines and instinctively quieted down.
Zhang Shan took out an opaque box and said, ¡°Now, everyonee and get your number tes.¡±
Everyone exchanged nces, but obediently stepped forward to pick their numbers.
Although Leng Feifei seemed rough around the edges, her emotions were clear to read. Despite being a newly minted Sunrise, Zhang Shan¡¯s icy demeanor put more pressure on them than Leng Feifei did.
¡°Bai Qi, what¡¯s your number?¡±
Gu Shan nced at his own number, then unusually took the initiative to run over and ask Bai Qi, an air of anticipation forming around him.
Bai Qi looked at his tag and said, ¡°I¡¯m number 13.¡±
¡°Oh, I see¡¡±
Upon hearing this, Gu Shan was slightly disappointed. He was number 38, a good distance from Bai Qi¡¯s number, so they probably wouldn¡¯t have the chance to battle together.
So much for getting revenge¡
¡°Eh, Bai Qi, you¡¯re also number thirteen?¡±
Zhou Yan, having overheard the conversation, walked over with his own tag in hand. It too read ¡°thirteen.¡±
¡°Well, what a coincidence.¡±
Bai Qi nodded awkwardly.
It wouldn¡¯t be a battle between those with the same numbers, right? Zhou Yan was a Four Stage Beast Master and clearly someone who adhered to the embodiment system. Given Zhou Yan¡¯s insane physical abilities, if a fight broke out, Bai Qi would be nothing more than a target.
Soon, others also noticed the anomaly with the numbers, causing another wave of discussion.
¡°Damn, I¡¯m with Bai Qiucha. Is this game over for me?¡±
¡°Haha, I¡¯m with the goddess Lu Qing. I wouldn¡¯t mind losing!¡±
¡°Pfff, pathetic. Look at you. Someone else should handle matters like this.¡±
Boom!
Seeing the assembly hall buzz with activity once again, Zhang Shan directly summoned his Thunder Beast and gave a thunderous roar at everyone.
¡°Next time someone tries to waste time, they can report to the Schizonepeta Tower.¡±
Everyone shut their mouths as Zhang Shan¡¯s icy gaze swept over them.
¡°All those with the same number are automatically grouped together, and the adjacent groups will engage in a two-person battle. Now, everyone enter the secret realm.¡±
Zhang Shan pushed open the door inside the assembly hall. Beyond it was not the familiar deep corridor, but an ancient arena.
So, this door was like a gate to anywhere, leading wherever you want. Compared to this, his Secret Realm Ring seemed a bitme.
Wonder if a door like this was avable for purchase somewhere?
As soon as Zhang Shan spoke, the students were taken aback, their mood suddenly turning. However, they didn¡¯t dare to reveal their feelings again.
¡°Brother Bai Qi,e, I¡¯ve got your back.¡±
While Bai Qi was examining the door, Zhou Yan grabbed him and they headed into the Secret Realm.
Once they passed through the door, Bai Qi and Zhou Yan found themselves in the center of the arena, but they didn¡¯t see any other students.
This secret realm was probably like the Lamentation Tower, a test-type secret realm. Different people should end up in parallel spaces, and apart from teammates or opponents, there would be no other encounters.
Sure enough, not long after they¡¯d taken their positions, their opponents appeared within the arena.
Bai Qi recognized them too, one was called Ran Xu, and the other Qiao Li, both were Third Stage Beast Masters. In yesterday¡¯s running task, these two were among the frontrunners in the second echelon.
But most importantly, they had bothe from the same ce.
¡°Running into acquaintances in a random team-up, this luck¡ It¡¯s pretty good!¡±
What they were doing now was a two-person battle¡ªbeing teamed up with someone familiar would definitely give them an advantage.
¡°Don¡¯t panic, they¡¯re just two Third Stage Beast Masters. Watch how¡well, thisdy takes care of them.¡±
Zhou Yan patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder to reassure him, then summoned her pet beast¡ªa female warriorpletely encased in armor.
[Name]: Soul of the General
[Nature]: Undead Department
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: The soul of an ancient Beast Master who didn¡¯t disperse after death, bing a Heroic Spirit-like existence. Can attach to a Beast Master to form various types of weapons.
¡°Soul of the General, attach!¡±
Zhou Yan shouted, and the female warrior instantly turned into a streak of light and merged into her. A gorgeous set of armor appeared on Zhou Yan¡¯s body, and a silver spear appeared in her hand. From a distance, it looked as though a legendary warrior had reincarnated.
¡°You two, hurry up and summon your pets. I¡¯m running short on time.¡±
Zhou Yan was clearly confident in herself, with no intention of summoning other pets. Seeing her confidence, the two opponents¡¯ initial nervousness turned intoughter.
Even though she was a Four Stage Beast Master, she had abandoned her numerical advantage of multiple pets, and moreover, it seemed like she had the intention to give a one-on-one fight with them, neglecting herpanions.
How did such a foolish behavior catch the eye of Leng Feifei to be taken as an apprentice?
Ran Xu and Qiao Li exchanged nces, a shing array appeared, and six pets suddenly appeared in front of them.
¡°Kabi Bear, Master Monkey, Self-exploding Weasel, Poison-eye Moth, Echo Mosquito, and Mist Butterfly, that¡¯s a pretty goodbination of offense and defense.¡±
Looking at the six pets summoned by the two of them, Zhou Yan couln¡¯t help but nod, but there wasn¡¯t the slightest worry in her eyes.
¡°Is thatdy nning to fight six of them by herself?¡±
Seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s disposition, Bai Qi broadly guessed Zhou Yan¡¯s idea, nevertheless he summoned Alpha.
As for Husky, it was still left in the Secret Realm by him.
Firstly, he needed the Husky to keep an eye on the Slime Monster to prevent his home from disappearing when he returned.
Secondly, it seemed like it wasn¡¯t necessary to bring it out.
After all four had summoned their pets, Zhang Shan¡¯s voice echoed in the arena.
¡°Thepetition rules are simple, if both members of a team lose, it¡¯s defeat. Everything else is fair.¡±
¡°Now, let thepetition begin!¡±
As soon as the words fell, Ran Xu and Qiao Li immediatelyunched their talents.
Ran Xu¡¯s was the strength enhancement, most suitable for thebat system, while Qiao Li¡¯s was sensory sharing, which connected the senses of the six pets and two beast masters almost instantly as the battle started.
From that moment on, their vision and even their five senses were shared.
Then, the threebat pets rushed forward, while the three insect-system creatures circled around, slowly changing the surrounding environment.
¡°This talent, it reminds me of the incense mosquito.¡±
Looking at the six pets attacking in formation, Bai Qi was about to let Alpha use the group attack, but Zhou Yan moved faster, charging out waving her long spear.
¡°Come on, it¡¯s been a long time since I took action myself, don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s face was filled with eagerness for battle, while her long spear, which was even taller than her, winded up a gust as she directly met Ran Xu¡¯s threebat-type pets.
Zhou Yan, with her spear alone, easily battled against the three pets¡¯bat power and asionally forced the three pets to defend.
Rawr!
The straight spear hit the Kabi Bear, famous for its tough skin and thick flesh, which let out a tragic howl, the intense pain spreading to all pets through their shared senses.
All of the six pets that originally had clear roles suddenly felt the impact and stopped their actions. Zhou Yan seized the opportunity to attack first with her spear at the poison-eye moth, which was spraying poison.
¡°Sensory sharing has its downsides.¡±
Zhou Yan knocked down the Poison-eye Moth with one spear, twirled the spear, and surprisingly attacked the remaining Mist Butterfly and Echo Mosquito simultaneously.
Both these pets were long-range attackers, and the Mist Butterfly could even change the surrounding environment. If it unleashed the mist,bined with sensory sharing, their battle wouldn¡¯t be so easy.
Just as Zhou Yan was about to attack the two insect-system creatures, Qiao Li and Ran Xu regained their senses. The Self-exploding Weasel seized Zhou Yan and detonated without hesitation. Left with no choice, Zhou Yan could only dodge.
Boom!
After an explosion, the Self-exploding Weasel created a pit on the ground and stirred up a load of dust, while the Mist Butterfly quickly spread the mist, covering more than half of the arena.
Although they lost both Poison-eye Moth and Self-exploding Weasel, two key attackers, now with the Mist Butterfly¡¯s mist field, the advantage shifted to their side.
Ran Xu and Qiao Li exchanged nces, slowly moving their lines of attack, without any hint of recklessness.
¡°I really hate these tactical fights.¡±
Zhou Yan looked at the increasingly dense mist in front of her, a sh of impatience in her eyes. With a big swing of her spear, lines of fire immediately formed in the air and flew towards the mist.
But apart from the explosions caused by the falling mes, Zhou Yan didn¡¯t hear any sound of the pets being hurt.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately wanted Alpha to join in and help, but was stopped by Zhou Yan.
¡°I said I would handle these guys.¡±
Zhou Yan said in a strong tone, Bai Qi felt it inappropriate to refute her face to face, so he let Alpha stop. However, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the direction where Ran Xu and Qiao Li were standing.
It seemed that Zhang Shan hadn¡¯t mentioned that attacking Beast Masters wasn¡¯t allowed, right?
No, no, how could he be thinking such a way, Alpha was so used to taking advantage of his opponents that it had be a habit.
They should defeat their opponent with sheer strength and in a fair fight.
At that moment, Bai Qi suddenly felt a surge of heat in the arena. The once vibrant Zhou Yan was now wrapped in firepletely, with cracks simr to magma appearing on her elegant silver long spear.
¡°You guys are a lot stronger than I thought, so I¡¯ve decided to fight you seriously!¡±
Zhou Yan, like a goddess of fire, held her spear aloft, and without waiting for any reaction from Ran Xu, thrust the long spear heavily into the ground.
In an instant, columns of fire shot up into the sky, the intense heat turning the mist into nothingness, and the remaining four pets were totally exposed to Zhou yan.
They were only a few meters away from Zhou Yan, but with the Echo Mosquito¡¯s interference ability, Zhou Yan actually failed to detect them.
If it weren¡¯t for Zhou Yan¡¯s outburst, their sneak attack might have been sessful.
But all this was now in vain, not only the four pets, even Ran Xu and Qiao Li were surrounded by the wall of fire, trembling in fear of being turned into barbecues by Zhou Yan.
¡°You¡¯re already surrounded by me. Do you still want to resist?¡±
Zhou Yan swept her gaze over Ran Xu and Qiao Li. As soon as the two heard her words, they immediately shook their heads like rattles, choosing to admit defeat without hesitation.
What a scary beast master, it¡¯s just one stage difference!
Bai Qi shared the same feeling, he had only summoned Alpha throughout the fight and did nothing else to achieve victory.
Although it was exciting to have a high-level character leading the fight, for some reason he felt like an ornament hanging on the leg of a leader¡

Salutations to the Gatling

¡°Really giving up?¡±
Upon hearing Ran Xu and Qiao Li concede their loss, Zhou Yan instinctively twisted her neck, suddenly looking at Bai Qi, she said, ¡°How about it, Bai Qi, want to have another round?¡±
¡°I refuse!¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes at the suggestion. A Four Stage against a Three Stage, who had to fight six enemies on his own, was like slicing through melons and chopping up vegetables. Had she the nerve to challenge him at the Second Stage?
Moreover, once defeated, he would have ended up like Bai Qiucha, who was pursued and beaten every day.
He preferred not to make these kinds of arrangements.
¡°Bai Qi, Zhou Yan VS Ran Xu, Qiao Li, Bai Qi, Zhou Yan win.¡±
Zhang Shan¡¯s cold voice sounded from above the arena, and the defeated Ran Xu and Qiao Li were teleported out directly.
¡°This wouldn¡¯t be another advancement rule, would it?¡±
Seeing the two of them left behind, Bai Qi had some spection in his heart. Zhou Yan, too, was silently waiting for the appearance of the next batch of enemies without releasing her attached state.
Bang!
Finally, the ground of the arena shook, and their enemies for the next round finally appeared.
However, it was not other students they had anticipated, but a towering minotaur standing three times their height.
[Name]: Earthshaking Bull Demon
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
Roar!
As soon as the Earthshaking Bull Demon appeared, it spotted Bai Qi and Zhou Yan across from it. Madness shed in its bloodshot eyes, and its muscr arm mmed heavily into the ground, unleashing an invisible ripple that spread toward the two.
¡°Dodge it!¡±
Seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately leapt into the air to avoid the shock wave, while Bai Qi, with Alpha¡¯s help, evaded the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s attack.
Launching an unprovoked attack on humans upon sight, it was clear this Earthshaking Bull Demon was a ferocious beast, not a tamed pet beast!
Watching the two evade its attack, the Earthshaking Bull Demon plunged its hands deep into the ground, pulling out a pir of rock and charging at them once again.
In response, Zhou Yan had no more time for light-hearted chatter with Bai Qi. She brandished her spear and faced the Earthshaking Bull Demon head-on, only to be flung away by it.
This Earthshaking Bull Demon was at least at the Four Stage!
Watching Zhou Yan being sent flying so easily, Bai Qi quickly estimated the level of the Earthshaking Bull Demon. Having Alpha ce himself in a safe location, hemanded Alpha to join the battle.
In facing an actualbat situation, Zhang Shan yed his game of words quite well.
Inside the assembly hall.
Arge screen suddenly appeared in the otherwise empty hall, showing footage of the first-round winners battling various fierce beasts.
¡°You had me catch so many ferocious beasts for this?¡±
Luo Xiang ced his right hand on Zhang Shan¡¯s shoulder, watching young Beast Masters on the screen fighting each beast with a cornered look, he joked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of exhausting them? Your teacher won¡¯t let you off just because you¡¯re a member of the Schizonepeta Tower-¡±
Zhang Shan gave Luo Xiang a cold nce and pped his arm away from his shoulder. ¡°I reported the actualbat training n to the president long ago. If there are any problems, they would be your responsibility as the beast catcher.¡±
Luo Xiang was momentarily stunned before he cursed, ¡°Damn you, Zhang Shan, you set me up!¡±
Zhang Shan gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and ignored Luo Xiang, who likewise got serious and began to observe the battles closely.
¡°Do you think these youngsters can defeat their opponents?¡±
Zhang Shan shook his head, saying, ¡°Probably not. The ferocious beasts I arranged for them, whether in growth level or bloodline level, are higher than theirs. Moreover, thebat power of ferocious beasts is higher than that of pet beasts. Unless they have received simr training before, there is no chance forthem towin.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded upon hearing this and then his eyes fell on the screen where Bai Qi was. His mouth curled into a smirk as he said, ¡°I think perhaps someone can win.¡±
Zhang Shan furrowed his brow and asked, ¡°You mean that Bai Qi? The Earthshaking Bull Demon is one of the strongest among these beasts. I don¡¯t think they stand a chance.¡±
His first impression of Bai Qi was average. Although his nurturing of his pet beast was indeed good, those who could only win by trickery would not fare well in a battle against ferocious beasts.
Watching Zhang Shan¡¯s expression, Luo Xiang revealed a mischievous grin. ¡°How about we ce another bet?¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
¡°A month¡¯s worth of meals.¡±
¡°Two months.¡±
¡°Deal!¡±
In the arena.
Zhou Yan pushed aside the rubble on her body, looked at the raging Earthshaking Bull Demon in front of her, and couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°They even use ferocious beasts to fight. The headquarters sure knows how to y.¡±
No matter the cursing, the excitement on Zhou Yan¡¯s face grew.
¡°But now, I don¡¯t have to worry about getting punished for brawling, right!¡±
Upon hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s words, Bai Qi was momentarily speechless.
Did that mean she had been restraining herself in daily life? Was she about to unleash her full potential?
Zhou Yan walked to the center of the arena, where the blue array appeared again, and a Pegasus cloaked in blue mes materialized.
[Name]: Ghost me Pegasus
[Nature]: Fire attribute, Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
Zhou Yan mounted the horse, and the ghostly mes on the Ghost me Pegasus spread across Zhou Yan¡¯s body, turning the fire on Zhou Yan into blue. ¡°Big dumb bull, let¡¯s have another round!¡±
Zhou Yan roared at the Earthshaking Bull Demon, drawing its attention, and then led the Ghost me Pegasus to charge over.
Roar!
Upon seeing Zhou Yan daring to approach, the Earthshaking Bull Demon once again ignored Alpha, the weaker one, and swung the rock column towards the ground.
Cracks¡
A trench suddenly appeared on the ground, and quickly spread towards Zhou Yan.
[Skill Name]: Crevasse
[Skill Level]: Mid-Level
[Skill Description]: Rips the surface, forms a huge crevasse, and causes dizziness to nearby enemies.
The crevasse moved quickly, but Zhou Yan was evidently prepared. The wings of the Pegasus pped, and it flew up immediately, charging straight towards the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon saw this and immediately tried to lift the rock column to counterattack, but the Pegasus was too fast. Before it could lift the rock column, Zhou Yan¡¯s spear was already aiming for its eyes.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯sbody was protected by rock armor, its only weakness was the eyes. With Zhou Yan¡¯s battle experience, he naturally knew what to do.
Seeing this, the Earthshaking Bull Demon immediately gave up on the rock column. It stomped hard with its right foot, and rock spikes extended from the ground, stabbing straight towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan saw this and didn¡¯t dodge, but instead thrust his spear forcefully. A stream of blue fire spurted from the tip of the spear, quickly charging at the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
Once burned by this ghost me, even if the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s double level was higher than Zhou Yan¡¯s, it could not easily dissolve it.
Roar!
At that moment, the Earthshaking Bull Demon let out a sudden roar. The deafening wave of sound was transmitted directly into Zhou Yan¡¯s ears. Even though Zhou Yan was infused with Soul of the General, he felt dizzy.
Then, a strong gravitational force came from the ground, forcibly pulling him towards the ground¡¯s rock spikes.
Soundwave Control Skill and Gravitational Control!
This time, it¡¯s over!
Zhou Yan immediately realized that he had been trapped by the Earthshaking Bull Demon, quickly dissipated the Ghost me Pegasus, and concentrated all his Spirit Power onto the Soul of the General to block this attack.
¡°Alpha, Shadow Lotus Skill!¡±
At that moment, Bai Qi¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind him. Zhou Yan then saw countless crystal bone spurs wrapped with Shadow Department Power drilling out from the ground, directly shattering the ground¡¯s rock spikes and shooting towards the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s attention was all on Zhou Yan, and it didn¡¯t notice the appearance of these bone spurs. It was unexpectedly covered by the Shadow Lotus Skill, and Zhou Yan also immediately broke free of the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s soundwave control, quickly distancing himself.
¡°Thankyou, I almost fell into this bull¡¯s trap.¡±
Zhou Yan cautiously looked at the Earthshaking Bull Demon, who was like a bud wrapped in crystal flowers, and was increasingly convinced that it was a pure beast without any trace of human captivity.
Wherever ce it lived, if it was morefortable, the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s fighting method would not be so skilled.
¡°You rest and recover first, I¡¯ll stall it for a while.¡±
Bai Qi handed a bottle of God¡¯s Water to Zhou Yan, and thenmanded Alpha to initiate another attack.
Although it was blocked by the Shadow Department Power, Bai Qi was sure that it couldn¡¯t hurt the Earthshaking Bull Demon at all, at most it could trap it for a while.
But, that was enough.
¡°Alpha, try that move.¡±
Clinks and nks?
(Are you sure, master?)
¡°I¡¯m sure!¡±
Alpha nodded, its whole skeletal structure twisted quickly, initiating its most significant change ever since Bai Qi contracted it.
The leg bones wrapped around each other quickly, gradually forming arge base. The upper body constantly sprouted arms, gathering like a disc behind Alpha.
However, the front ends of these arms were not hands, but dragon heads.
Bang!
At the same time that Alpha transformed, the Earthshaking Bull Demon also broke free from the Shadow Lotus Skill¡¯s control. Its red eyes quickly locked onto Alpha, the horn on its head shining with a light-yellow glow, it charged straight at Alpha.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately wanted to stop his recovery and block it, but was stopped by Bai Qi.
¡°Do you know how the Cavalry Era was ended?¡±
Zhou Yan was puzzled by the sudden question. He had no idea why Bai Qi would bring up such a topic at a time like this. Meanwhile, Alpha had already initiated its attack.
Da! Da! Da!
At the moment the Earthshaking Bull Demon charged, nearly a thousand dragon heads on Alpha¡¯s back began spewing blue mes. Within these mes, numerous crystal bullets shot directly at the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
¡°What the, what¡¡±
Watching the Earthshaking Bull Demon stopped by the crystal bullets and witnessing the wounds corrode one by one, Zhou Yan was stunned. Meanwhile, Bai Qi looked quite satisfied.
May the Gatling Bodhisattva, The Dying Bullet of Six Pure Roots, fire thirty-six hundred times in a breath, with great mercy andpassion, deliver the Bull Demon!
Chapter 122 - 121: Just Basic Moves
Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Just Basic Moves
Trantor: 549690339
Watching as Alpha drove the Earthshaking Bull Demon to continual retreat, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction,
Using repulsive force to shoot finger bones as bullets, adding a dose of Withering Breath to ensure damage, Alpha¡¯s machine gun form truly performed well.
It was a pity that the recoil was so great that it could only anchor itself to the ground, losing Alpha¡¯s best mobility. If the attack didn¡¯t work, it was done for.
¡°I suddenly believe that you pioneered this whole Rune Evolution thing. Normal people wouldn¡¯te up with this,¡±
Zhou Yan looked at the Earthshaking Bull Demon, which was utterly defenseless, and gave Bai Qi a thumb up.
¡°Hehe¡¡±
What did she mean by ¡®normal people wouldn¡¯t think of this¡¯? Was it polite to say that?
Bai Qi chuckled lightly, but his gaze remained locked on the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
Although the Withering Machine Gun¡¯s attack was powerful, it consumed a lot. It was only because Alpha¡¯s Energy Value was far beyond the same Stage; otherwise, it could not withstand such consumption.
But the most crucial point was, the Earthshaking Bull Demon hadn¡¯t yet used its Super Skill.
As a qualitative change in the Bloodline Level, Lord-level Creatures could master Super Skills. Some had many, while others had few, but at least everyone had one.
So far, the Earthshaking Bull Demon hadn¡¯t used its Super Skill, so all advantages were futile.
As expected, after being constantly pushed back by the Withering Machine Gun into a corner, the Earthshaking Bull Demon finally couldn¡¯t bear it any longer, bracing the Withering bullets and roaring up to the sky.
¡°Watch out, it¡¯s about to unleash its Super Skill!¡±
Seeing this, Zhou Yan once again entered her avatar state, simultaneously summoning her Ghost me Pegasus to charge up. Meanwhile, Alpha increased the frequency of its attacks, aiming to defeat the Earthshaking Bull Demon in one fell swoop.
But the Earthshaking Bull Demon was incredibly resilient. It didn¡¯t stop its actions even as its flesh and blood were corroded within its earthy armor, and you could see the bones inside. All its power was concentrated on the horns on top of its head.
A small ck ball slowly formed, then slowly flew into the sky. It emitted a formidable gravitational force, pulling Zhou Yan and Alpha toward it.
Meanwhile, the buildings around the arena were also affected by this gravitational force, being drawn towards the ck ball, causing significant interference for them.
¡°Holy cow, is it invoking Gravity Control? Where¡¯s your insect-repelling talisman!¡±
Seeing the Earthshaking Bull Demon even using this all too familiar yet new technique, Bai Qi was astonished.
Just a high-grade Lord, and it already mastered one of the four fundamental forces, gravity! It was even more outrageous than Alpha¡¯s Withering Power!
I have to confiscate those horns!
Bai Qi wiped the saliva on the corner of his mouth and gave Alpha an instruction. Alpha immediately got it, countless bones spread out from under the crystal base, clutching the ground firmly. Meanwhile, it withdrew the Withering Machine Gun and slowly formed a sniper rifle on its shoulder.
¡°Damn, first it was a machine gun, now it¡¯s a sniper rifle. Is your pet from the Undead Department or the Mechanical Engineering Department, huh?!¡±
Seeing this while struggling to resist the ck ball¡¯s gravity, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but grumble. Bai Qi simply shrugged, saying, ¡°Sister Zhou, could you hold off the Earthshaking Bull Demon for a bit? I need some time.¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan paused, then nodded. She directed the Ghost me Pegasus to resist gravity while gathering all its mes on thence, and stabbed at the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
¡°Meteor Storm!¡±
Countless spear shadows appeared from Zhou Yan¡¯s reach, like meteors bombing directly on the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
Seeing this, the Earthshaking Bull Demon had no choice but to increase the gravity of the ck ball. It tried to distort Zhou Yan¡¯s offensive and conjured a dirt wall to counter the attack.
¡°Alpha, are you ready?¡±
cking noise.
(Soon)
A bullet, entirely condensed from Withering Breath, took shape in Alpha¡¯s hand. Alpha condensed a thin crystal barrier around it as a shell and then loaded it into the sniper rifle.
¡°Good! Fire!¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand, and Alpha timely activated the Rune. All its energy gradually gathered towards the sniper rifle, and as the Control Object Rune shone to its limits, the Withering bullet disappeared in a blink of an eye, reappearing on the wall behind the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
On top of the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s head, you could vaguely see a tiny bloody hole.
One-shot kill!
Facing a bullet made of Alpha¡¯s concentrated energy, the defense of the Earthshaking Bull Demon was renderedpletely useless. Its brain was shattered, its once-red eyes gradually lost vitality, its towering body slowly fell, and the gravitational ball atop its head dissipated gradually.
¡°So¡ that works too!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi neatly kill the Earthshaking Bull Demon in one shot, Zhou Yan was so surprised she couldn¡¯t close her mouth.
A high-grade Lord, Four Stage level, was just killed by a Second Stage Lord in one fell swoop?
Erm, not worth mentioning.
Seeing the shocked look on Zhou Yan¡¯s face, even the stable Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help feeling smug.
To defeat a Ferocious Beast of two stages above, Alpha¡¯s record could be boasted about for a long time.
But it¡¯d be challenging to reproduce this feat. The opponent must remain immobile, and there must be a strong lure to distract the opponent. Plus, it consumed all of Alpha¡¯s Energy Value.
Looking at Alpha, now so weak it couldn¡¯t even maintain its crystal armor, if the shot had missed before, it would¡¯ve been ughtered.
Naturally, Zhou Yan understood this as well. But after seeing the destructive power of Alpha¡¯s sniper shot, she couldn¡¯t help touching her forehead.
Luckily, it¡¯s on our side¡
Bai Qi, I am sure now. If anyone else regards you as a Second Stage Beast
Master, they¡¯ll regret it for the rest of their lives.¡±
Zhou Yan patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and said seriously, ¡°However, that move you used wasn¡¯t meant to deal with Beast Masters, was it?¡±
Bai Qi replied sternly, ¡°How could it be? Do I look like that kind of person?¡±
Yes! Very much so!
Who in their right mind would research this kind of thing.
Zhou Yan silently criticized Bai Qi for a while before casting his eyes on the
Earthshaking Bull Demon in the ring.
Even though it had only been shot through the head, the Earthshaking Bull Demon looked as if it had been dead for many years, its body gradually drying up, with only the pair of horns and skin still normal.
¡°The instructor hasn¡¯t announced the result yet, hurry up and dissect this guy.¡± Hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s words, Bai Qi immediately came to his senses. Looking at Alpha, which hadpletely lost its ability to move, he could only seek help from Zhou Yan.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡±
Zhou Yan swung his spear, danced around the Earthshaking Bull Demon, and soon cut off the demon¡¯s skin. As for the two horns, they had already fallen off on their own before Zhou Yan could take action.
Because the Withering Power had exploded inside its brain, the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s head looked normal from the outside, but inside it had almostpletely rotted due to the Withering Power. If it weren¡¯t for the horns, which had concentrated the essence of the Earthshaking Bull Demon, they would have probably met the same fate.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan could only give up on the rest of the Earthshaking Bull
Demon and threw the skin and horns in front of Bai Qi.
¡®You killed the Earthshaking Bull Demon, so ording to the rules, all these materials are yours,¡± he said.
The demon¡¯s skin has good defense, but it¡¯s only of Rare grade. However, those horns are quite good, since they gathered all the energy before death, reaching Epic grade.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, but he hesitated when he reached out to take them.
¡°Sister Zhou, you held off the Earthshaking Bull Demon just now, it¡¯s not quite right for me to take all of it.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi acting this way, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes, and said, ¡°If you really want to give it to me, why don¡¯t you start by letting go of your hand?¡±
Bai Qi, feeling disappointed, released his hands which were already on the horns and said, ¡°Then Sister Zhou, you first.¡±
Zhou Yan patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°This stuff is useless to me. The meat of the Earthshaking Bull Demon would have been more useful to me, but it¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s all rotten.¡±
Zhou Yan looked regretfully at the body of the Earthshaking Bull Demon, which had started to rot, and sighed.
¡°Meat?¡±
Bai Qi also realized, feeling a bit regretful.
The flesh and blood of a High-grade Lord-level creature must be more nourishing than the meat of the Wood Armor Wild Boar.
By then, having steak, sirloin, dried beef, and not needing to buy supplements would be a breeze.
Mistake, mistake. It looked like he couldn¡¯t let Alpha use this move on edible ferocious beasts in the future.
Or perhaps, cut the losses in time would also do.
Perhaps unable to bear with their behaviour, Zhang Shan sent both of them out without any warning.
When they returned to the gathering hall, the other Beast Masters had all returned. They were all dumbfoundedly watching the screen.
Even though there was a Four Stage Beast Master leading the team, Bai Qi was just a Second Stage Beast Master, who somehow managed to defeat a High-grade Lord of the fourth stage. Are you sure you didn¡¯t hide your level?!
The training is over. The ones who passed are Bai Qi and Zhou Yan.¡±
Zhang Shan coldly nced at the Beast Masters present and announced the result of this training.
¡°The training time for the afternoon will be notifiedter. All of you return to your dormitory and wait for the news.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shan quickly left while Luo Xiang gave
Bai Qi a thumb up and quickly followed.
¡°I won this time. When will you make good on our bet?¡±
¡°I have to sort out the mission data. Let¡¯s do it another day.¡±
¡°You cheapskate, I knew you would cheat!¡±
With the departure of both instructors, the Beast Masters no longer concealed their emotions and turned their curious eyes to Bai Qi.
¡°Bai Qi, congrattions on bing a big star-¡±
Seeing the converging gazes of the surrounding people, Zhou Yan chuckled and took Bai Qiucha, who was intending to ask Bai Qi, and walked outside.
¡°A¡¯Cha, apany me to fight one more time, I wasn¡¯t satisfied earlier!¡±
¡°I think Sister Yan, you can try fighting Bai Qi¡¡±
¡°You think I¡¯m stupid, what if I get a headshot?¡±
The two left while arguing, and after taking a few nces at Bai Qi, Lu Qing also turned and left.
Now she was beginning to believe that the Rune evolution was researched by Bai Qi.
After all, probably only Bai Qi could transform the Undead Department to this extent, but she wondered what Bai Chuanqi would think when he saw this? Everyone knew about the grudges between Bai Chuanqi and the Mechanical Legend..
Chapter 123 - 122: "Do What You Say"
Chapter 123: Chapter 122: ¡°Do What You Say¡±
Trantor: 549690339
One by one, they all left, Bai Qi didn¡¯t stay either. He was about to leave when a figure blocked his path.
¡°Hello, my name is Xiao Yuan, from Langya City, Insect System Fourth Stage
Beastmaster.¡±
Xiao Yuan had also been in the first group during the running task the previous day, so Bai Qi somewhat remembered him. However, Xiao Yuan didn¡¯t seem especially interested in Bai Qi at the time, so they didn¡¯t speak to each other.
Now, he had actively sought Bai Qi out, obviously because of Bai Qi¡¯s previous performance.
The discoverer of Rune Evolution, one who had killed a Lord-level Ferocious Beast that was two stages higher, these two feats were enough to make them reach out to Bai Qi voluntarily.
¡°Bai Qi, Second Stage Beastmaster from Gusu City.¡±
Bai Qi responded politely.
¡°I did not expect you to really be at the Second Stage, viewing you from my usual perspective was my mistake.¡±
At these words, Xiao Yuan was still somewhat surprised, and the surrounding Beastmasters couldn¡¯t help but exim.
He really was a Second Stage Beastmaster.
They say that there are a lot of exceptionally gifted people in special training, and this turned out to be true¡
However, this Xiao Yuan also seemed quite formidable, and there were also several other Fourth Stage Beastmasters, all with fair share of rumors. It seemed they were all not ordinary people.
It seemed that in the special training that was about to start, they were fated to remain in the background.
¡°Thank you, I have something else to attend to, so I will take my leave.¡±
¡°Sure, as you wish.¡±
Bai Qi gave a faint smile and without wasting time with Xiao Yuan, he motioned to the still stunned Gu Shan and headed towards their dorm.
Watching Bai Qi leave, Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t help but show a trace of a smile.
¡°No wonder the old man specially told me to keep an eye on this kid, I thought it was his personal grudge with President Qin, now it seems, he¡¯s indeed
interesting.¡±
Upon returning to the Secret Realm, Bai Qi called out Alpha once again.
Due to excessive energy consumption, Alpha¡¯s Crystal Bone was noticeably
dull, much to Beta¡¯s delight.
Woof woof!
(I feel like my chance for revenge ising!)
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. He then took out one of the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s horns and handed it to Alpha before using the
Evolution Egg.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s ability to manipte gravity should have been concentrated in these two horns. If Alpha could obtain the ability to control gravity through them, coupled with the Control Object rune, it could definitely maximize its effect!
¡°Heavenly Expedition, Myriad Heavenly Attraction, the technique to recreate
Mosquito Eye¡¯s abilities are not a dream.¡±
Watching Alpha gradually being enveloped by the Bronze Egg, Bai Qi had full of expectation in his eyes, taking out the other horn, he looked at Husky.
¡°Beastmaster, I don¡¯t rmend us to add the gravity attribute. Inparison, I support thebination of mechanical and spirit attributes.¡±
Schuck saw through Bai Qi¡¯s n at a nce and directly expressed his opinion.
¡°You¡¯re right, you have Spirit Power Variation, so it is more worth it to strengthen Spirit Power.¡±
After thinking about it, Bai Qi agreed with Schuck¡¯s opinion.
Unless there was a Racial Evolution, Alpha would need some time to absorb the horn, using one horn might not necessarily make Alpha master Gravity Control, it would be safer to keep the other one as well.
¡°Now, it¡¯s your turn, little guy.¡±
Bai Qi turned his attention to the colorful Sleepy Slime that was still in Deep Sleep beside him, took out the Earthshaking Bull Demon¡¯s hide, and directly covered the slime with it.
The magic resistance of the Slime wasn¡¯t a concern, but its physical defense wascking. The Bull Demon¡¯s hide could resist both the Withering Power and the sniper rifle of Alpha, entirely impervious to Zhou Yan¡¯s long spear as well. Its physical defense was absolutely top-notch, and he hoped it could be transferred to the Slime.
TWO Bronze Eggs appeared in the Secret Realm, Bai Qi was not idle either and began researching with Schuck again.
¡°Judging from today¡¯s training content, theing days of the training camp might not be very easy. You should first put aside other things and increase yourbat power.¡±
As his second pet, Husky until now had not shown significantbat power.
The only assault skill it carried was st w.
Oh yes, there was also that Thunder Cannon, which could likely send itself hurling too.
¡°Can be done, I have alreadypleted the design for the Secret Realm modification. The rest is only a matter of construction, I can supervise it remotely.¡±
Schuck nodded, ¡°As for my upgrade n, I generally have some ideas. Here is the draft of my n, Beastmaster, please take a look.¡±
Saying that, Schuck put a file in front of Bai Qi.
¡°The Valley-Breaking Mechanical Wolf Enhancement n 1.53 version? When did you make this?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the lengthy series of upgrade ns and couldn¡¯t help being surprised.
¡°I did some research when I had free time.¡±
Schuck said, ¡°But these basically focus only on the mechanical enhancements, for the main body¡¯s upgrade n, the Beastmaster will have to decide.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and looked at somewhat bored Beta.
There was not much left to explore about the st Power, Schuck¡¯s enhancement n had reserved ns for st Power. However, Beta¡¯s Soul Whisper was hardly mentioned.
¡°For a spiritual attack skill that can only be used in speech, how should we use it ¡±
As Bai Qi eyed Beta for a while, he suddenly thought of something.
¡°Schuck, help me record a sound!¡±
In the afternoon.
Zhang Shan notified all the students on time to participate in the afternoon training, and the content was still actualbat.
¡°Everyone,e up and draw your number tes again.
The old-fashioned lottery method didn¡¯t disappoint these students, there was even a faint sense of relief and anticipation.
If they were suddenly asked to run, they wouldn¡¯t have been prepared at all. And if they ended up being teamed up with a few monsters, they could win without raising a finger.
Zhou Yan drew a number te and then looked at Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, do you think we can continue to be in the same team?¡±
Bai Qi shook his number 13 te in his hand, and pointed at Gu Shan who also held a number 13 te, and said, ¡°Sorry, it seems we can t.
¡°Alright.¡±
Zhou Yan sighed regretfully after hearing this, but upon seeing Gu Shan¡¯s wooden expression, she quickly approached him.
¡°Gu Shan, do you want to swap number tes with me?
Gu Shan scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this, not knowing how to respond.
¡°Yan sister, I suggest you not do this¡¡±
Bai Qiucha pointed in the direction of Zhang Shan and Zhou Yan immediately realized what she meant and turned around, only to see Zhang Shan staring at her with a cold gaze.
¡°Ha ha ha¡ it was all a joke, don¡¯t get upset.¡±
Zhou Yanughed awkwardly and let Gu Shan go, then she went over to Lu Qing and asked, ¡°Qing¡¯er, what¡¯s your number?¡±
¡°Number 14.¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses and looked at Bai Qi, saying, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you so soon, I hope you can let me see the practical effects of the runes. With Lu Qing¡¯s indifferent gaze on him, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but get a headache.
The mind of a woman, like the needle on the ocean floor.
He didn¡¯t know how he had offended Lu Qing, she seemed to grab onto him every opportunity she got.
Could it be because his rune evolution took ce before hers?
Soon, the number tes were drawn again, but the students soon found that the number of tes was slightly different this time.
The number of students who got the same number had increased to four.
Were they preparing for four versus four?
Everyone¡¯s eyes converged on Zhang Shan, but Zhang Shan remained silent and just opened the gate again.
This time, what appeared was not the arena from the morning, but a vast grasnd.
¡°Although it¡¯s 4V4, isn¡¯t this dimensional space too big?¡±
The students frowned slightly at the sight, but Lu Qing and a few Six Towers¡¯ students seemed to have some understanding and appeared to have guessed something.
¡°The next training exercise is apetition for number tes, with all students vying with each other. Your own number te is worth 3 points, identical numbers are worth 3 points, other people¡¯s tes are worth 1 point. The exercise willst for one week. Those who umte ten points and sessfully reach the exit pass.¡±
I go, they¡¯ve changed thepetition rules again!
After hearing Zhang Shan¡¯s exnation, the students were in an uproar again.
The same number equals three points, other numbers equal one point. It¡¯s evident that snatching the same number te has the highest efficiency. In this case, those with weaker abilities among the same number group essentially cannot escape being targeted.
Everyone was discussing heatedly, but was soon silenced by Zhang Shan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Let me make it clear, some ferocious beasts have also been sent into this secret space, so those who are afraid can apply in advance to not participate in the training.¡±
Bai Qi was startled upon hearing this. Had the iceberg turned a new leaf today? He was quite reasonable, wasn¡¯t he?
¡°Instructor, I¡¯d like to apply not to participate.
Sure enough, upon hearing that they could take leave, a student who performed the worst on the first day nervously raised his hand. Its not that he didn¡¯t want to persist, but Zhang Shan¡¯s rules in the afternoon were theplete opposite of the morning. The people who should have been teammates had now be enemies, putting him under a lot of pressure.
After all, one of those with the same number as him was Zhou Yan.
¡°Sure.¡±
To everyone¡¯s surprise, Zhang Shan actually agreed to this student¡¯s request. However, before others could follow suit, Zhang Shan¡¯s next statement plunged that student¡¯s mood into an abyss.
¡°I will have someone retrieve your student identification. I will contact your association about your specific results. You can leave now.¡±
Direct expulsion from school was quite severe.
Seeing Zhang Shan¡¯s serious expression, Bai Qi didn¡¯t think Zhang Shan was joking, and the student also realized the problem and quickly corrected himself, saying, ¡°Then I¡¯ll not take the leave.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already agreed to your request, so you¡¯re no longer a special training member. Please leave.¡±
After saying this, Zhang Shan no longer paid attention to that student, and instead turned to the others and said coldly, ¡°Anyone else wants to leave? If not, go in immediately!¡±
Everyone looked at each other and quickly went through the wooden door into the grasnd, immediately dispersing without intending to hang around. Bai Qi nced at the dispirited departing student and felt somewhat helpless. Although he had heard many people mention that Zhang Shan was well known for carrying out his promises, he didn¡¯t expect him to be so serious. It seems he had to be careful during Zhang Shan¡¯s training in the future.
After all, he and Zhang Shan had a grudge over that one stick.. Who knew if this guy would hold a grudge!

Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi passed through the wooden door and appeared in a meadow.
Although everyone entered from the same entrance, theirnding positions had slight discrepancies. Almost every student quickly distanced themselves from others afternding, looking for suitable cover.
Due to the morning grouppetition system, they hadn¡¯t intentionally hidden their number tes, so most of the students noticed those with the same number as them.
ording to the rules of this match, those with the same numbers were definitelypetitors. They, of course, didn¡¯t dare to linger here.
Most importantly, this training session was tost for an entire week. Zhang Shan was clearly forcing them into a war of attrition.
The top priority was to find a safe ce and then consider the next steps.
After all, besides thesepetitors, they were faced with another problem.
Food supply for seven days.
If they had known in the morning that they were going to be trapped in the secret territory for a week in the afternoon, they wouldn¡¯t have thrown away those supplies. They were indeed thoroughly had this time.
¡°A week of exploration, it looks like I¡¯ll have to keep some food in the secret territory in the future.¡±
This six-month intensive training suggested that such exercises were unlikely to be few and far between.
It was such a pity about the Earthshaking Bull Demon in the morning. Otherwise, they could get some beef jerky, which would have been convenient to carry.
Bai Qi looked around his surroundings and summoned the Husky, then started searching for a suitable temporary base.
¡°Schuck, scan the surroundings and find a suitable location. Beta, look out for nearby enemies.¡±
Alpha was still evolving, so for the moment, the Husky was his only fighting force. Therefore, Bai Qi nned to y it safe and slowly assess the situation.
¡°Understood.¡±
Schuck nodded, immediately releasing mechanical bees and a radar to scan the surroundings. On the other hand, Beta looked eager and excited.
Woof!
(I can finally flex my muscles!)
Gazing upon the unending ins, Beta had already started imagining the scene of his grand performance.
Whiz!
Not long after they set off, a Breaking the Void sound echoed from behind Bai Qi. And the target was himself.
Woof!
However, Beta¡¯s perceptual abilities were by no means a joke. He issued a warning as soon as he sensed danger, and his two mechanical arms extended instantaneously to erect a metallic shield against the ambush.
Bai Qi turned around and took cover behind the Husky, quickly locating the enemy who had attacked him.
An Iron Feathered Eagle.
(Name): Iron Feathered Eagle
[Nature]: Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Level]: Second Order Second Tier
¡°You¡¯ve only summoned an Arctic Ice Wolf, the morning battle has surely drained your Main Pet. You¡¯re at the end of your rope now!¡±
A self-assured voice echoed from the bushes. Bai Qi looked towards the source and saw a student holding a number 13 te grinning widely at him, full of confidence.
¡°This one¡¯s sure he¡¯s got me¡¡±
Bai Qi had no impression of this person, probably one of theters from the second or even the third squad. But this didn¡¯t prevent Bai Qi from developing a liking for him.
Distance doesn¡¯t matter when one sends you a numberte, the gesture is a heavy one. He saved him from making an extra run, what a great guy!
¡°Beta, test that one out, Schuck, be ready to attack.¡±
Woof!
¡°Got it!¡±
Upon receiving themand, the Husky¡¯s gun turret instantly deployed, keeping a firm lock on the Iron Feathered Eagle in the sky. The opponent, Ni Ba, went on alert as a result, having the Iron Feathered Eagle increase its altitude. His Iron Feathered Eagle excelled in long-range attacks, its effective attack range was a good 500 meters. He didn¡¯t believe this strange Arctic Ice Wolf could hit a target 500 meters up in the sky.
Seeing this behavior of the Iron Feathered Eagle, Bai Qi didn¡¯t show any signs of panic, instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile.
Owooooo, Owoooooooo
Apanied by a melodious howl, both Ni Ba and the eagle found devilish sounds echoing in their minds.
¡°Red umbre, white pole, napping after a meal¡ The whole vigees to eat. Eating under an umbre, sleeping together on nks¡ Everyone being air-dried. Air-drying under a white pole, umbres growing on our bodies.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my little, little apple, no amount of love for you is too much¡ igniting the fire in my life, fire fire fire fire fire¡.¡±
¡°¡Oppa Gangnam Style¡¡±
One earworm after another echoed in both Ni Ba¡¯s and the Iron Feathered Eagle¡¯s minds. Their already gathering skills were shockingly disrupted. Screech!
The Iron Feathered Eagle, not understanding what Beta was singing about, still felt dizzy from the enchanting rhythm. It even experienced temporary loss of control over its body and swayed with the rhythm. It sounded an rm, calling its Beast Master back to reality.
¡°Such a strong psychic attack, can even impact my control over my body.¡±
Ni Ba nced warily at the still-singing Husky, about to regroup and attack. However, the Husky¡¯s melody suddenly shifted, bing serene and tranquil. Seeing the people and the eagle across from him gradually bing calm, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
Thebination of the Great Compassion Mantra and the Soul Whisper was simply amazing.
It was such a shame that the DJ kept changing the tempo, Bai Qi felt a bit hesitant, but the effect could have been even better if he went with it.
¡°Take them down.¡±
Watching the Iron Feathered Eagle gradually descending, Bai Qi immediately signaled Schuck to act, and Schuck activated the turret he had prepared long ago.
Boom, boom, boom!
The intense gunfire caught the Iron Feathered Eagle off guard. Trying to distance itself again, a sudden multitude of spider webs rained down from above, forcibly pulling it down back into the range of the gunfire.
Squeak¡
Though it was a tier three, the Iron Feathered Eagle couldn¡¯t withstand the bombardment of so many explosive shells imbued with st Power, emitting ck smoke as it fell from the sky.
¡°Damn it, can this Arctic Ice Wolf actually use mechanical weapons?¡±
Seeing this, Ni Ba was about to summon his pet beast again when he felt something crawling on the back of his neck. Turning his head, he found a mechanical spider.
¡°Game over!¡±
Bai Qi snapped his fingers and the mechanical spider immediately released a current of electricity, causing Ni Ba to faint.
Woof woof!
(Zapping people feels great!)
Seeing Ni Ba¡¯s current state, Beta felt inexplicably delighted. Just as he was about to gleeful sing a note, Bai Qi immediately covered his mouth.
¡°Themotion just now was too loud, it¡¯ll definitely attract a lot of people to investigate. It¡¯s best we leave.¡±
Bai Qi efficiently took the number 13 tag from Ni Ba and then quickly left with the Husky.
Not long after, a Beast Master riding a ck panther appeared. After inspecting Ni Ba and the status of the Iron Feathered Eagle, he continued in the direction Bai Qi had left.
Taking on Ni Ba must¡¯ve required a lot of effort, the enemy¡¯s strength is probably just average. This could be a chance to seize the spoils after the battle. Crack!
Before they could get far, the panther seemed to step on something. Soon after, a wave of Explosion Power surged from underground,unching the ck panther into the air.
But it wasn¡¯t over, as they struggled to regain bnce andnd, a series of explosions resounded, giving them no chance to rest.
¡°Damn it! Who the hell ntednd mines here!¡±
Three dayster.
Gu Shan was carefully moving through the grass over a person¡¯s height. Beside him, his four pets were vigntly scanning the surroundings.
Being a Beast Master with the lowest level, Gu Shan was under the most pressure.
After all, weaklings were often picked upon. Even if they didn¡¯t have the same numbers, gaining one point wouldn¡¯t be bad.
Fortunately, Gu Shan, who was ustomed to running around the mountains in Lingxi City from since he was young, was quite good in terms of physical strength and ability to hide. So, he hadn¡¯t been targeted by anyone yet. However, consequently, he only had his own number te.
The Four Spirits Fusion Technique consumed too much of his and his pets¡¯ physical strength, so he didn¡¯t n to use it unless necessary.
¡°I wonder how¡¯s Bai Qi doing now¡¡±
Thinking of the number 13 tag in Bai Qi¡¯s hand, Gu Shan had aplicated mood.
As a defeated warrior, he longed to fight Bai Qi again. After all, Bai Qi had taken advantage ofunching the first strike when he took down the Four Spirits.
In this environment, it would be hard for Bai Qi to separate his four pets as easily as before.
But considering Bai Qi¡¯s impressive performance in recent days, he alsocked confidence.
However, both of their tags were the same. To pass, a battle was inevitable. Bang!
While Gu Shan was hesitating, an explosion suddenly sounded from a valley not far from him.
¡°Did someone start fighting again?¡±
Gu Shan bent down, hesitated for a moment, but decided to go check it out.
Toplete the training, he would need ten points. After three days, most Beast Masters would have gathered some number tes. If he could seed with his Elemental Resonance, maybe he could solve the problem once and for all.
Thinking of this, Gu Shan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the front of the valley.
The valley was now in a mess, with traces of explosions everywhere.
Clearly, the explosion heard just now was from here.
But after observing for a while, several people had indeed entered the valley, and there were no signs of battle, only signs of a one-sided attack.
¡°Could it be a long-range attacker?¡±
Gu Shan hesitated for a moment but decided to leave.
The chances of the enemy being a part of the Flying System were high, and their attack was a long-range one. With the enemy in the dark and him in the light, it was too risky to act rashly.
Better to wait a bit more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, with series of bombing sounds, a figure stumbled out of the valley. Around the valley, several turrets emerged, and a gigantic rune- engraved cannon was aimed in the direction of the valley!
¡°Why do these turrets look so familiar?¡±
Gu Shan scanned the turrets around him, his memories prickling as if he¡¯d seen them somewhere, but he couldn¡¯t remember.
But when he heard the voice in the valley, he didn¡¯t hesitate to choose to leave.
¡°The people in the valley listen, you¡¯re surrounded. Surrender and hand over your number tes immediately!¡±
Chapter 125 - 124: Becoming King of the Mountain
Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Bing King of the Mountain
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi sat inside the cave, simultaneously surveying the situation in the valley through the images transmitted by the scout bees and leisurely sipping God¡¯s
Water.
Next to him, over a dozen number tes were casually piled up.
¡°Knowing there¡¯re traps here yet they still came. Should I say they¡¯re fearless or merely aren¡¯t afraid of death?
Ever since his battle with Ni Ba, Bai Qi had found this valley with Schuck¡¯s guidance.
The rules of this round seemed to push towards guerri warfare, simr to the practical exam but the difference being the enemies had evolved from ferocious beasts to Beast Masters.
Naturally, there were no fools among the Beast Masters participating in this training, so they quickly dispersed.
Of course, Bai Qi didn¡¯t bother to chase them one by one. He decided to remain at ease while the others panicked until a significant number of tes were collected. Then he would snatch them.
After all, Alpha was in istion for evolution, and unless it was necessary, Bai Qi didn¡¯t intend to use it before it absorbed the horns of the Earthshaking Bull
Demon.
As for Husky, it didn¡¯t yet have the ability to confront lord-level creatures. Therefore, for safety reasons, Bai Qi and Schuckcoborated to install a multitude ofndmine turrets in the valley.
Little did Bai Qi expect, his actions turned the guerri war into a valley defense battle.
And the number tes by his side were the spoils of war.
¡°Listen up, everyone in the valley, you¡¯re surrounded. Drop your number tes and surrender immediately, or I¡¯ll open fire!¡±
Watching the Beast Masters still vigntly surveying their surroundings in the valley, Bai Qi picked up a loudspeaker to warn them. Subsequently, he activated the concealed turrets around him.
Funnily enough, among the Beast Masters trapped in the valley were his previous opponents, Ran Xu and Qiao Li.
¡°Damn, how in the world did this bastard bring so many mechanical weapons!¡±
Ran Xu¡¯s face was somber, not daring to move even a bit as he looked at the dense arrangement of turrets.
If it was just the turrets, it would be more manageable as they were visible, but the real trouble was thendmines that could appear under their feet at any moment.
No wonder they say you can fight a mechanic, but never ept a duel from one.
A well-prepared mechanic was downright overkill!
¡°I recall he has a Secret Realm Ring. These must have been brought in through
it.¡±
After scanning the surroundings, Qiao Li locked onto the highest peak around the valley and said, ¡°The most offensive weapons are there, and they¡¯re the most peculiar. That bastard Bai Qi must be hiding there.¡±
Ran Xu nodded, remembering the shot fired by Alpha to kill the Earthshaking
Bull Demon, he suddenly became uneasy.
¡°This far, can we really get close to them?¡±
Qiao Li remained silent for a moment, clenched his teeth and said, ¡°The skeleton surpassed two stages to kill the ferocious beast, it surely overdrafted its energy. I guess it hasn¡¯t recovered itsbat strength yet, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have set up so many mechanical weapons to bolster his courage.
¡°Valid point!¡±
Ran Xu agreed, determination shed in his eyes. After summoning all his beast controls, he braced himself against turret fire and quickly advanced towards the Thunder Roar Cannon.
¡°Some are truly not afraid of death¡¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately contacted Husky, guarding the Thunder Roar Cannon, and said, ¡°Schuck Beta, use thirty percent of your power, give them a warning.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Upon receiving the instruction, Schuck nced at Beta, who was impatient at his side, and said, ¡°Be mindful of the intensity. If you blow up the Thunder Roar Cannon again, you can forget about waking up for the next month.¡±
Awooo¡
(Yes, yes, your lordship is embarrassed for being scared of himself, it¡¯s such a loss of face for a wolf.)
Beta yawned, cing his right paw on the Thunder Roar Cannon, while Schuck controlled his mechanical left paw and put it on as well.
in an instant, Thunder Power and st Power flooded into the Thunder Roar Cannon, swiftly illuminating all the runes on the cannon.
Then, a shock wave formed by the Thunder me Power flew out of the cannon mouth, narrowly missed Ran Xu and Qiao Li, and shot out.
¡°What just happened¡?¡±
Ran Xu touched his swept-backhair and turned his head stiffly.
On the mountain behind them, a sizable round hole had been burned into it by the Thunder me Power. The air still held a faint scent of charring.
The force of the cannon should be equivalent to high-stage skills, right?
No, considering destruction alone, it might be even higher.
¡°Onest warning, leave one number te and quickly leave, or the next shot won¡¯t miss.¡±
Ran Xu and Qiao Li looked at each other. Simultaneously, they took out one te from their chests and ced it on the ground.
Seeing them behave so cleverly, Bai Qi nodded satisfyingly, pressed a button, and two mechanical mice emerged from the nearby bushes. They picked up the number tes and disappeared back in.
Seeing this, disappointment shed in Ran Xu¡¯s and Qiao Li¡¯s eyes.
They had initially intended to draw out Bai Qi or at least confirm his location.
Given the situation, that clearly seemed unlikely.
Both of them nced at the turrets around them that were still firmly locked on them. They chose to leave.
¡°Motherfucker, being threatened by a Second Stage Beast Master. I can¡¯t stand
it!¡±
Seeing Ran Xu and Qiao Li retreat after being threatened by Bai Qi, a Beast Master riding a me Giant Tiger cursed out loud and charged towards the
Thunder Roar Cannon.
As a Third Stage Beast Master and a prominent figure, he would lose face if he just admitted defeat.
But before he could get far, another shot of Thunder me Power was fired, piercing the right leg of the me Giant Tiger.
¡°Did you really think I wouldn¡¯t dare to attack you?
Bai Qi smacked his lips. Old Qin said that he couldn¡¯t use the Thunder Roar Cannon while fighting at the same level, but there was no rule against using it in cross-stagebat.
Anyway, the crisis protection mechanism was in ce in the Secret Realm. If anyone faced a real life-threatening peril, they would be teleported out straight away. Bai Qi decided that if he was really pushed, he¡¯d force everyone away, one by one.
Roar!
The me Giant Tiger, its paw pierced by the Thunder me Power, gave a miserable howl. It wanted to charge again, but it was stopped by its Beast Master.
¡°Meeh master, I¡¯ll remember this!¡±
The Beast Master red hatefully at the three Thunderbolt cannons set up in sequence in the sky above. Leaving a number te behind, he reluctantly led his pet beast away.
The reason why he had dared to make such a reckless assault was that aside from his resentment, he had been certain that the Thunderbolt cannon, a powerful explosive weapon, was bound to have a long cooldown period.
He hadn¡¯t expected that Bai Qi would actually have three Thunderbolt cannons ready at once!
After three contestants gave up in a row, the other Beast Masters could do nothing but leave a te behind and depart.
With four days left in thepetition, they didn¡¯t have to bang their heads against this wall.
Let the problem children chew on this tough nut.
Gu Shan, who had already been slowly withdrawing, sped up his pace after seeing the others abandon the contest. But he hadn¡¯t gotten far when he ran into Zhou Yan riding her Ghost me Pegasus on the way to the valley.
¡°Gu Shan? What are you doing here?¡±
Without answering, Gu Shan silently kept his mouth shut while Zhou Yan asked of her own ord, ¡°I heard some noise from Bai Qi over here. Is that true?¡±
Is it just noise? It was practically turning the world upside down!
Ran Xu and Qiao Li, who passed by, couldn¡¯t help but roll their eyes when they heard this.
A Second Stage Beast Master had a group of Third Stage Beast Masters at their wits¡¯ end. If this wasn¡¯t world-shaking, what was?
It was intolerable. They had to report it to their instructor when they got out. They couldn¡¯t put up with this during future training sessions!
Seeing Gu Shan and the others¡¯ strange expressions, Zhou Yan got a rough idea of what had happened, and drove her Pegasus straight towards the valley.
¡°Is that Sister Zhouing?¡±
Bai Qi spotted Zhou Yan¡¯s arrival ahead of time through a scout bee, and his previous sense of satisfaction instantly vanished.
Schuck had just been promoted to Second Stage. Even though the mechanised weapons he produced could handle Third Stage Beast Masters, they were still a bitcking for a Four Stage Beast Master.
What about recruiting Zhou Yan?
With no hesitation, Bai Qi sent a scout bee straight to Zhou Yan.
On seeing the scout beeing close, Zhou Yan instinctively wanted to strike it down, but she halted her action after hearing Bai Qi¡¯s voice.
¡°Bai Qi, what in the hell are you doing here?¡±
Bai Qi replied, ¡°I was just toozy to run around and wait for others toe to me ¨C ¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°So you¡¯re ying king of the hill and calling yourself the big boss?¡±
¡°Uh, you could put it that way.¡±
Bai Qi, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly, acknowledged Zhou Yan¡¯s interpretation of his actions.
¡°Then I want to join. But I want to be the big boss!
Hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s request, Bai Qi was stunned, while the other Third Stage Beast Masters, waiting for a good show, were all utterly confused.
The plot was going off-track!
¡°What, no good?!¡±
Zhou Yan frowned when Bai Qi didn¡¯t respond. Bai Qi immediately snapped out of his daze.
¡°Of course it¡¯s good, I couldn¡¯t ask for more!
He had originally been considering how to sweet talk Zhou Yan. Now, it looked like the other party had taken the initiative to offer herself up.
¡°Sister Zhou, you can be the big boss, I¡¯ll happily be second inmand!¡± Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Zhou Yan nodded in satisfaction. She then pointed at Gu Shan behind her and said, ¡°He can be ourckey.¡±
What does it have to do with me¡
Gu Shan, looking utterly confused, was grabbed by Zhou Yan and pulled onto the back of her Pegasus, immediately flown towards the depths of the valley. Seeing this, the Beast Masters who had just been exploited by Bai Qi were in a daze. They gave up on their ns for revengepletely.
One Bai Qi had been trouble enough, and now there was a Zhou Yan as well. They might as well bring a couple more people, so they could be altogether screwed.
As the saying goes, it never rains but it pours. Just as they had this thought, Bai Qiucha arrived riding a Bone Wing beast from a distance.
Then, right after, came Lu Qing¡
In just a few minutes, this valley had be the most dangerous ce in the Secret Realm.
The gathering hall.
With a suppressed smile, Luo Xiang looked at Zhang Shan, whose expression was twitching a little, and said, ¡°I remember one of the training items was about how to establish a safe base in the wilderness, right? Shouldn¡¯t we just move that ahead?¡±
The original n was to test the students on their ability to conceal themselves,unch surprise attacks and survive in the wilderness. However, when it got to Bai Qi¡¯s part, it had been turned into a base defense battle.
No, it was more like him dering himself king of the hill!
He had the feeling that headquarters might have to modify some rules again¡

Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Discovering the Secret Realm Tower
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qiucha looked at Zhou Yan, who was excitedly distributing number tes, and couldn¡¯t help but speak up, ¡°I say, Yan sister, are we really okay doing this?¡±
¡°Call me Big Boss!¡±
Zhou Yan red at Bai Qiucha and replied, ¡°The instructor only said that we only need enough points topass, he didn¡¯t specify how, so what¡¯s wrong with it?¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses, her gaze never leaving the book in hand, and interjected, ¡°I agree with Zhou Yan on this. Our method is indeed the most efficient, the process isn¡¯t that important.¡±
¡°Hmm, hmm.¡±
Gu Shan also nodded, quietly pocketing his own number te.
¡°Alright then.¡±
Bai Qiucha exhaled resignedly after shooting a nce at Bai Qi, who was snickering on the side.
He was raised to face challenges head-on and had hardly ever considered taking shortcuts.
Ever since he met Bai Qi though, this was the second time he was doing so.
First, he had given up on the Tower of Gratitude and then they had formed this street gang, god knows what wasing next¡
Beep, beep, beep, beep¡
Just then, an rm sounded in the cave. Two figures appeared on the screen.
¡°Is that¡ Xiao Yuan and Li Mu?¡±
Zhou Yan leaned in for a closer look and immediately recognized the two.
¡°Why are they together?¡±
Lu Qing responded, ¡°We grouped up, so other people would naturally do the same. It¡¯s quite normal.¡±
Zhou Yan understood and then excitedly eximed, ¡°Perfect! We¡¯ve been bullying weaklings for the past few days and it¡¯s gotten boring. A couple of Four-Stagers will be more interesting.¡±
With that, Zhou Yan made a move to rally everyone for a fight.
Lu Qing quietly turned a page in her book and said calmly, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m only at the third stage. I don¡¯t want to challenge a higher stage like someone here.¡± Zhou Yan nced at Gu Shan upon hearing this. Gu Shan silently held up two fingers and nced at Lu Qing. His attitude was evident.
¡°That¡¯s a bummer. Second Boss and Third Boss,e patrol with me.¡±
Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha looked at each other and sighed quietly.
They had initially thought that by recruiting Zhou Yan and the others to their side, they wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being robbed. Bai Qi could then stay here peacefully for seven days.
However, things didn¡¯t go as nned. Zhou Yan seemed to revel in her role as Big Boss and was keen on leading them on raids!
Although they gained quite a lot, their reputation had utterly tanked.
Ah, my good reputation¡
The duo followed Zhou Yan out of the cave somewhat reluctantly. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan and Li Mu had already reached the entrance.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s emergence, Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Bai Qi, I knew it was you. I told you Zhou Yan isn¡¯t smart enough to think of gang mugging as an efficient method.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly at Xiao Yuan¡¯s words.
His reputation as bandit ¡®Second Boss¡¯ was now set in stone¡
¡°Xiao Yuan, what are you implying? Looking for a fight again?¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s veins were pulsing as she prepared to battle.
Xiao Yuan shrugged, ¡°Sorry, we¡¯ve fought 534 times and we¡¯ve drawn 498 times. The rest just didn¡¯t finish, so I don¡¯t n on wasting time.¡±
¡°Then what did you guyse here for?¡±
Zhou Yan inspected the two curiously. Xiao Yuan stepped back and said, ¡°Li Mu wanted to talk to Bai Qi, that¡¯s it. I¡¯m just here for the ride. Don¡¯t mind me.¡±
¡°Li Mu?¡±
Zhou Yan was taken aback. She nced at Li Mu, then back at Bai Qi behind her, seemingly understanding something.
¡°Uhh, what did I do this time?¡±
Bai Qi was clueless as everyone¡¯s eyes suddenly shifted to him. Li Mu stepped forward and stared at Bai Qi intently.
¡°Bai Qi, as of today, you¡¯re my love rival!¡±
Love rival? What the hell?
Bai Qi was even more confused. Meanwhile, Bai Qiucha came up to him and whispered, ¡°Li Mu and Lu Qing are from the same city. They are childhood friends. He probably has his sights set on you.¡±
Lu Qing, buddy, we have talked less than ten times total. Don¡¯t be so sensitive.
¡°Um, maybe you¡¯ve misunderstood something?¡±
Bai Qi sighed and was about to exin when Li Mu waved his hand dismissively, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t overpower you with my higher level. Since you excel in runes, I¡¯ll defeat you in that regard and prove that I¡¯m the most suited for Lu Qing.¡±
With that, Li Mu turned around and left, not giving Bai Qi a chance to refute.
¡°Is this guy always like this?¡±
Bai Qi looked exasperatedly at Bai Qiucha. After receiving confirmation, he kept silent.
So, he was indeed fooled by Old Qin¡¯s ttery.
Where were the resources that would make all masters and legends jealous? He gained an unwee ¡®love rival¡¯ for no reason. He hadn¡¯t yet seen the benefits of the training, but had had to endure quite a bit of inconvenience.
¡°Well, as long as they¡¯re not here to rob us, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±
Seeing this, Zhou Yan dispelled her battle stance and patted Bai Qi on the back sympathetically, ¡°But you have to be careful Bai Qi, Li Mu always keeps his promises. He¡¯ll surely give you a hard time.¡±
Bai Qi remained silent as Zhang Shan¡¯s long-missed voice then rang out in their ears.
¡°Time¡¯s up. This training session is now over.¡±
Just as Zhang Shan finished speaking, Bai Qi felt the world spinning around him. They were back in the assembly hall.
¡°Damn it, I haven¡¯t collected my equipment!¡±
As soon as Bai Qinded and was about toin, he noticed dozens of eyes on him.
Of course, it was all hostility.
Well, it hadn¡¯t even been ten full days of training, and it seemed that enemies were everywhere.
Bai Qi sighed heavily, instead, calming down and openly epting the icy stares raining down on him.
He was already knee-deep in a sea of hostility. Having a few more enemies wouldn¡¯t make much of a difference.
Zhang Shan also noticed the gazes fixed on them. He nced at Bai Qi but didn¡¯t add anyment, only proceeding to announce the names of those who passed.
ording to the original system, only a quarter could pass the training. Because of Bai Qi, the number was even fewer now, so Zhang Shan finished the announcements quickly.
¡°You have a day off today. Report back tomorrow on time for theoretical sses.¡±
Zhang Shan packed up the results sheet, turned around, and walked away, leaving behind a group of sobbing Beast Masters.
Finally, someone thought of handing out the course schedule early.
Could the instructor please slow down? They hadn¡¯t had a chance to lodge aint yet.
¡°Phew¡ we can finally rest for a while.¡±
Bai Qi stretchedzily. These past few days, apart from ¡®robbing¡¯¡ er, ¡®exchanging friendly banter¡¯ with Zhou Yan and his ssmates, he¡¯d been researching on enhancing Husky. But due to limitations in his environment, he couldn¡¯t proceed with modifications and could finally tinker around with it properly.
Zhou Yan came up to Bai Qi, draped an arm around his neck, and asked, ¡°Second inmand, are you free this afternoon?¡±
Big sister, weren¡¯t you taking the role-ying a little too seriously? And your eyes were scaring me¡
You aren¡¯t nning another ¡®raid,¡¯ are you?
This isn¡¯t training, robbery is a crime.
Bai Qi replied, ¡°I¡¯m a little tired. I want to go back and rest.¡±
¡°Rest? Don¡¯t be so weak, young man.¡±
Zhou Yan disdainfully scanned Bai Qi and said, ¡°Good. I know a restaurant.
They are very skilled at nutritious meals. I¡¯m in a good mood today, so I¡¯ll treat you to a good meal.¡±
After finishing her sentence, Zhou Yan didn¡¯t wait for Bai Qi to refuse. She turned her gaze to Bai Qiucha and the others, saying, ¡°Third inmand, white-paper-fan, you shoulde too.¡±
¡°I refuse.¡±
Lu Qing closed his book and said, ¡°I need to report to the teacher about the recent situation. You guys go ahead.¡±
¡°Also, stop calling me white-paper-fan.¡±
After finishing, Lu Qing left the hall without looking back.
¡°So boring. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t like reading.¡±
Zhou Yan puckered her lips and looked at Gu Shan, saying, ¡°Then, Gu Shan, youe. It isn¡¯t fun if we are short by one.¡±
Upon hearing her words, Gu Shan obediently followed behind Zhou Yan, showing no signs of resistance.
After spending a few days together, Gu Shan had essentially be Zhou Yan¡¯s follower, someone who would do her bidding without question.
¡°The restaurant Zhou Yan mentioned is indeed good, Bai Qi. You can give it a try.¡±
Bai Qiucha added, ¡°We often interact with the Undead Department. We should take care of our health.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes.
Who needed to take care of their health? They were talking polite nonsense, but they were taking it too seriously. Once he leveled up to the fourth stage, he would see who beat whom!
Songlin City.
Suburbs.
Songyue Building.
Zhou Yan led Bai Qi and the others to the restaurant with familiarity. The owner seemed to be very friendly with Zhou Yan, leading them directly to a private room.
¡°Miss Zhou, the usual order?¡±
Zhou Yan nodded and said, ¡°The usual, but double the portion. I¡¯ve been starving recently.¡±
The owner nodded and left, while Zhou Yan turned to Bai Qi and the others, exining, ¡°This restaurant is quite old-fashioned, with inherited culinary skills. Besides the good taste, their food can also improve one¡¯s constitution. While still in Songlin, you might want toe and eat here more often.¡± Improved constitution? So that meant all the ingredients were from ferocious beasts, right?
Understanding this, Bai Qi looked forward to it.
Their meals over thest few days had mostly been provided by Zhou Yan. While her cooking was decent, they had been eating barbeque for seven days straight. It was about time for a change, and the decor of the restaurant was indeed exquisite, located by ake, a reminiscent of the famous buildings from Bai Qi¡¯s past life.
¡°Oh, by the way, they also provide food for beast pets. Do you want to let your beastse out and try?¡±
At Zhou Yan¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha was somewhat torn betweenughing and crying.
The only beast he had was a Skeleton Dragon. What could it be looking forward to eating here? Harvest souls directly?
As for Gu Shan, his beasts were all normal, but he had four of them and was a little embarrassed to call them all out.
Seeing that neither of them made a move, Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel like summoning Husky out for a free meal either. But before Zhou Yan could persuade them further, Husky took the initiative to jump out.
This glutton, he shouldn¡¯t have given it the permissions to enter and exit the secret realm.
Seeing Husky squirming out of the realm, Bai Qi was about to send it back, when Beta started sniffing the ground earnestly, seemingly looking for something.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with this guy?¡±
Seeing Husky in this state, Zhou Yan and the others were puzzled, but it seemed Bai Qi had a rough idea.
This scene appeared to be somewhat familiar¡
Just then, Husky suddenly stopped at the window and started to bark wildly at theke outside.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Then, to the astonishment of everyone, a tall tower began to slowly rise from the bottom of theke, mysterious runes faintly visible on its surface.
The Secret Realm Tower!

Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi and Gu Shan looked at each other as they watched the Secret Realm Tower slowly rise in front of them.
They had heard that Songlin City was littered with Secret Realm Towers, but it was a bit too much toe across one during a meal.
Nevertheless, it was good in a way, at least it proved that Husky indeed had the ability to sense the appearance of the Secret Realm Tower.
They just wondered if they could still find the backdoor?
¡°My goodness, I¡¯ve beening here to eat for some time now. Who would have thought that there¡¯s a Secret Realm Tower in thiske?¡±
Zhou Yan stared at the towering structure in disbelief, then had a sudden thought.
¡°If Qing¡¯er finds out that she missed a chance to touch a Secret Realm Tower firsthand, do you think she¡¯ll be furious?¡±
¡°Judging by the look of this Secret Realm Tower, it seems to be a battle-type.
We should first stop others from approaching recklessly.¡±
Bai Qiucha assessed the Secret Realm Tower, voicing out his own judgment.
Battle-type Secret Realm Towers often have their own exterior countermeasures, and it¡¯s easy to get hurt if triggered carelessly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan nodded and was about to alert their boss, but realized Bai Qi, leading Husky, was already running towards the Secret Realm Tower.
¡°God, he is just like Qing¡¯er, getting so distracted when seeing a Secret Realm Tower!¡±
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan muttered under his breath and quickly followed. Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan followed suit.
Although this ce was in the suburbs, many people were dining at the Songyue Building. They had noticed the emergence of the Secret Realm Tower and came out to observe.
However, most people just observed from afar without approaching it,
As residents of Songlin City, they were no stranger to Secret Realm Towers and were merely bored.
However, the tourists in Songlin City were much lessposed.
¡°I can¡¯t believe it. I fished out a Secret Realm Tower. Does this mean I¡¯m the Heaven¡¯s Chosen from the legends?¡±
A young man fishing by theke, upon seeing the huge Secret Realm Tower, was filled with excitement. Instinctively, he wanted to explore.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz!
Just then, the Secret Realm Tower slightly trembled, and a row of runes lit up on the bottom wall. The originally clearke suddenly turned green.
¡°Is this¡toxin?!¡±
The young man immediately tried to move away, but the toxin spread rapidly, reaching him through theke water in no time. The young man fell directly into theke.
The surrounding spectators began to panic as they saw this. Bystanders quickly moved away, while some Beast Masters summoned their beasts, preparing for a rescue operation.
But before they could act, Bai Qi, leading Husky, was already by theke and used his mechanical arm to pull the young man out.
Looking at the young man who was now entirely green, Bai Qi immediately pulled a slime monster out of the secret space and threw it on the young man.
Gorp. Glop?!
(What is that smell?)
The semi-awakened slime monster immediately woke up at the pungent smell emanating from the young man, promptly engulfed him and started absorbing the toxin in his body.
The young man woke up soon enough, and as he watched the slime monster move away from him back to Bai Qi, he tried to say thanks but noticed Bai Qi squatting intently where he had been fishing, and a strange-looking two-headed dog was digging something there.
¡°Um, thank you for saving me.¡±
The young man moved closer out of curiosity to express his gratitude, but Bai Qi seemed preupied and only responded with a grunt.
¡°Beta, are you sure it¡¯s here?¡±
Woof! Woof!
(Yep, should be. Smells like that door we came acrossst time.)
Beta nodded and quickened the pace of digging.
¡°Good, we can¡¯t get in through the main entrance anyway.¡±
Bai Qi nced at theke around the Secret Realm Tower, which had transformed into a poison pond, quietly picked up the slime monster and ced it by his side while the young man quickly realized the danger and left without another word.
Pinching her nose, Zhou Yan managed the staff of Songyue Building to evacuate the crowd and walked over to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, what are you doing here? This Secret Realm Tower is quite dangerous. Non-professionals should stay away.¡±
Gu Shan hesitated and said, ¡°Um, boss, it seems that we are professionals.¡±
¡°Ah, it seems so.¡±
Ranked as special trainee students, their task was to explore the Secret Realm Tower. If someone specialized in dealing with these, they were it.
¡°The countermeasures of this Secret Realm Tower has been activated. None of us have a contract with a support beast. We should notify Moon Night Tower first. They¡¯re good at purifying toxins.¡±
Bai Qiucha checked the condition of theke and then cast a nce at Bai Qi, who looked hopeful, and suddenly had an idea.
¡°Bai Qi, your talent is Breaking the Void1, right?¡±
¡°Me? Well¡ I guess.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. This talent was what Luo Xiang and Old Qin had ¡°bestowed¡± upon him. Everyone said so, so it must be true.
¡°Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we take a look inside the Secret Realm Tower?¡±
A gleam shed in Bai Qiucha¡¯s eyes. He missed his turn thest time with the Tower of Gratitude because of Bai Qi. Now, encountering another tower, he couldn¡¯t miss the opportunity.
¡°I seem to recall the teacher mentioned there were a few students in this training session with an equally rare talent of Breaking the Void. So Bai Qi, you¡¯re one of them.¡±
Zhou Yan was also eager, saying, ¡°An unexplored Secret Realm Tower, if we could be the first to open it, the teacher will stop calling me stupid, right?¡± Alright, so that¡¯s what you¡¯re thinking.
Bai Qiucha and the others were silent, beginning to search for an entrance. However, they didn¡¯t find anything after circling the area.
¡°Looks like, the entrance to this Secret Realm Tower is submerged in theke. Cha, why don¡¯t you iste theke water? I¡¯ll evaporate this poison pond.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, ¡°We aren¡¯t familiar with the situation underwater. If we trigger some sort of mechanism, and the range of the poisonous gas expands, then that would be troublesome.¡±
¡°Alright, then we have no other choice but to wait for support from the headquarters.¡±
Zhou Yan sighed with a hint of disappointment. Suddenly, he heard an explosion nearby. When the smoke cleared, Bai Qi was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a quiet gate.
¡°This is, the gate to the Secret Realm Tower?¡±
The group looked at each other in silence, realizing where Bai Qi had gone.
¡°Cough, cough, you stupid dog, couldn¡¯t you have warned me before the explosion?¡±
Bai Qi wiped the dust off his head,nded a heavy punch on Beta, who looked innocent.
Howl howl¡
(It was you who asked this doggy to speed up¡)
¡°Beast Master, I suggest you first consider your current predicament.¡±
As Bai Qi and the dog were joking around, Schuck timely issued a reminder.
Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, only then did he realize he was at the edge of a cliff, a deep abyss less than twenty centimeters away from him.
¡°Holy hell, this back door really is a death trap.¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi broke into a cold sweat, rolling and crawling away from his original location.
If the gate of the Secret Realm had ced him a little differently when he entered, he might have died prematurely.
Originally, he just wanted to find the back door of the Secret Realm Tower and then figure out how to enter. After all, he had none of the Breaking the Void talent that Old Qin spoke of.
But to his surprise, just as Husky blew the gate open, he fell right in.
Could it be, he really had some kind of Breaking the Void talent?
It seemed that he should stay away from Beta digging pits in the future. If he fell unluckily, it could be a fatal meal outside.
Bai Qi looked around. The ce where he was seemed to be a mountain range, stretching thousands of miles without end. Compared to it, Bai Qi¡¯s Secret Realm seemed quite simple.
¡°It¡¯s really disheartening when peoplepare. But considering therge Secret Realm this person possesses, the original owner of this ce must have been quite formidable.¡±
Bai Qi enviously surveyed the Secret Realm, but quickly noticed something odd.
Such arge mountain range, with such flourishing flora, but he didn¡¯t see a single bird or beast, not even the sound of insects.
Either this Secret Realm had been left for too long, and all living creatures had died off.
Or there was a powerful creature nearby.
Considering the swift countermechanisms of the Secret Realm Tower just now, the first exnation was obviously imusible. After all, a well-functioning Secret Realm Tower, especially such arge one, wouldn¡¯t have a species extinction.
So the only exnation was¡
Just then, Bai Qi felt a violent tremor from the Evolution Egg, as if it was going to bounce out of the Secret Space, and Beta was also looking behind him with a wary face.
Then, the distinct sound ofrge wings straining against the wind came from under the cliff behind Bai Qi, putting Husky instantly on high alert.
¡°Holy hell, is it some kind of summoning curse that whatever I thinkes?¡±
Bai Qi immediately tried to summon Alpha when he saw this. However, after seeing the green giant dragon in front of him, he was frozen in ce.
A dragon, a real-life dragon!
Crack crack!
(Boss, should we fight?)
Alpha, having just been summoned, saw the dragon in front of him. However, Alpha felt no fear and prepared for battle immediately.
¡°Even the weakest adult dragons are legends. What the hell are we supposed to fight it with!¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, looking at the dragon on the cliff edge, who was curiously watching them, instinctively told Alpha to carry him and prepared to flee.
Of course, he knew that he couldn¡¯t outrun a dragon. If it were in the wilderness, Bai Qi would absolutely give up struggling, and even sprinkle some seasoning on himself to suit the dragon¡¯s taste.
But this was a Secret Realm, who knows, maybe some protective mechanism might get triggered?
But Bai Qi didn¡¯t get far before he noticed something strange behind him, so he couldn¡¯t help but look back.
¡°Am I hallucinating? Is a dragon scared of me?¡±
Seeing the green dragon, who was also turning in horror to flee, Bai Qi was a bit dumbfounded and tentatively told Alpha to stop.
¡°It¡¯s really a human!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi stop, the green dragon screamed and promptly fainted.
¡°Schuck, can you check if I¡¯m still asleep? Or did I get poisoned?¡±
¡°Your vital signs are normal, Beast Master.¡±
¡°Then what¡¯s the deal with this cowardly dragon¡¡±
¡°Um¡ this question is beyond the search range of my database, I refuse to
answer..¡±
Chapter 128 - 127: This Dragon is a Vegetarian
Chapter 128: Chapter 127: This Dragon is a Vegetarian
Trantor: 549690339
Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Bai Qi, Alpha, Husky¡ well, and a Slime Monster, stood in a line, staring nkly at the Green Dragon, who was still unconscious.
¡°Well, Beast Master, is it really okay for us not to take this chance to run away?¡±
¡°Run? Didn¡¯t you just scout? The surrounding area is all covered by poisonous
mist, this is the only safe ce.¡±
Woof, woof!
(Exactly, it¡¯s dead either way, this dog chooses to die in the dragon¡¯s mouth.)
Creak,creak!
(I want to fight it!)
Squish, squash!
(Can it be eaten?)
Looking at this one man and three beasts, Schuck suddenly felt his brain enter a
brief state of crash.
Was this what humans often called tiredness?
Phew.
Finally, the Green Dragon slowly woke up. The breath he exhaled stirred up a gust of wind. As he woke, Alpha immediately entered a battle ¨C ready state. The Wilting Sword flew out from behind him andnded directly in his hand. He watched the Giant Dragon in front of him vigntly.
[Name]: Wilting Dragon Lord (Alpha)
[Nature]: Ice n, Undead Department, Dragon Department
[Growth Level]: Second Stage Level 5
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Withering Breath (Proficient), Dragon Power (Proficient),
Skeleton Maniption (Perfect), Ice Crystal Barrier (Mastery), st Crystal
Spike (Mastery), Shadow Lotus (Perfect), Gravity Amplification (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 206000
[Condition]: Evolvable
After a week of continual evolution, and consuming two bullhorns, Alpha had finally mastered Gravity Amplification as he had wished.
[Skill Name]: Gravity Amplification
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description]: Can forcefully change the gravity of an object ording to
one¡¯s will, or use one¡¯s energy to construct a gravity ball.
Initially, Bai Qi had fretted about Alpha only previously mastering one super skill despite being at the level of a mid-level lord. Now it wasn¡¯t a problem anymore, for he had learned another one.
This trial pointed out a road for Bai Qi.
Kill ferocious beasts, steal skills!
Unfortunately, he clearly couldn¡¯t win against the creature before him, otherwise, if he sliced some dragon attribute materials off it, Alpha might have evolved directly into a Bone Dragon.
After all, he had been craving Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon for more than just a
day or two.
¡°Did I just see a human? No, I must have been dreaming!
After slowly waking up, the Green Dragon shook its head and mumbled to himself. He was about to go back to sleep under the cliff, when he suddenly realized that a man and three pets were staring at him.
¡°Not a dream? Is it really a human?!¡±
Seeing this, the Green Dragon almost fainted again. Seeing this, Alpha quickly erected an Ice Crystal Barrier to support the huge head of the Green Dragon, which managed to bring it back to its senses.
¡°This guy is really afraid of humans, isn¡¯t he?¡±
Ahint of amusement shed in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes as he used the Ice Crystal Barrier as steps, walking towards the Green Dragon.
Indeed, seeing the tiny human in front of it, the Green Dragon instinctively retreated a step, only stopping when it realized that there was no threat from Bai Qi.
The Green Dragon looked at Bai Qi carefully and asked, ¡°Are you human?¡±
Bai Qi tried to squeeze out a smile he thought was friendly and said to the timid dragon, ¡°Yes, I am a human. But I¡¯m not your enemy.¡±
¡°Not an enemy? That¡¯s good.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, the Green Dragon heaved a sigh of relief, sat down heavily.
Are the dragons of this era this easily fooled? He hadn¡¯t even started cajoling it
yet¡
Or was it just dulled from staying in the secret realm for too long?
Seeing the Green Dragon who hadpletely let down his guard, Bai Qi alsopletely eased up and signalled to Alpha to be at ease. He asked, ¡°Could I ask how long you have been in this secret realm?¡±
The Green Dragon shook its head and said, ¡°Since mother was injured and died,
I¡¯ve mostly been sleeping, so I¡¯m not very clear how long has passed.¡±
Mother? It seemed that the master of this secret realm was a Dragon
Department Beast Master.
However, how did the countermeasures of the Secret Realm Tower seem to belong to a Poison Department Beast Master?
¡°Oh, do you know how to enter and exit this secret realm?
Different from trial-type secret realms where one can obtain rewards or control of the entire Secret Realm Tower by passing the trials, it¡¯s hard to freelye and go in other secret realms unless one can find the control core or the entrance and exit mechanisms themselves.
And this timid dragon had lived here for so long, it should know some information.
¡± Leave? Is there an entrance or exit here? ¡±
The timid dragon looked at Bai Qi with a baffled expression, not understanding what he was asking.
¡°Alright, forget I asked.¡±
Bai Qi sighed quietly and began to ponder ways to leave.
Looking at the timid dragon¡¯s reaction, it seemed that there were no entrances or exits nearby. In that case, the control core was definitely in the area outside the poisonous mist.
However, the scout bees he had sent out earlier were corroded by the poisonous mist. Unable to ascertain the extent of the poisonous mist, Bai Qi didn¡¯t wish to act rashly.
Rumble¡
All the beasts turned their gaze toward Bai Qi, who was scratching his head in embarrassment.
He had held his hunger after hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s praise about the food at Songyue building, nning to savor it all by himself. But the secret realm issue cropped up unexpectedly, and now he was genuinely hungry.
Nichs the timid dragon looked at Bai Qi and cheerfully invited, ¡°Oh human, haven¡¯t you eaten? Why note to my ce? I can treat you to some good food.¡±
¡°Um, I¡¯m not sure if that¡¯s a good idea.¡±
He wasn¡¯t sure if his small body could handle a dragon s meal¡
¡°No problem, I¡¯ve got more than I can eat anyway, and it¡¯s very boring for a dragon alone. You all can keep mepany.¡±
With a careless wave of his hand, Nichs grabbed the three beasts and their master with his w and, pping his wings, flew towards the cliff edge.
Wow, was this the power of a legendary creature?
Bai Qi looked at Alpha, who waspletely powerless to resist, and inwardly cursed.
Where exactly did this guy get his fear of humans from? Didn¡¯t he know that he could squash humans like ants if he wished?
Though, it was a good thing things were like this.
Thus, under the ¡°hostage¡± situation imposed by Nichs, the party continuously descended until they saw a huge cave embedded in the cliffside.
The cave was well-hidden by lush vines. From above, it looked in no way peculiar. Inside, it was bathed in verdantndscapes, presenting a vibrant scene of abundant life.
Who would have thought? This timid green dragon fancied a stylish living environment.
¡°This is my home,¡± said Nichs, ¡°I will go and fetch some food for you all.¡± With that, he gently released Bai Qi and the others, pped his wings and took off once again.
¡°So, this is a dragon¡¯s cave? It¡¯s quite different from what I imagined.
The cave was well-hidden by lush vines. From above, it looked in no way peculiar. Inside, it was bathed in verdantndscapes, presenting a vibrant scene of abundant life.
Who would have thought? This timid dragon fancied a stylish living
environment.
Woof woof!
(It smells delicious here.)
Beta sniffed around and was about to head deeper into the cave when Schuck forcefully stopped him.
¡°Running around the house of a legendary creature-are you in a hurry to die?¡± ¡°Beta, don¡¯t wander around yet-let¡¯s wait a bit,¡± Bai Qi patted Beta, indicating him to calm down. He then walked to Alpha, who seemed dazed, and asked, ¡°Alpha, what¡¯s up?¡±
Click ck.
(I like the environment here; it seems to be boosting my power.)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in understanding. It was no surprise Alpha was resonating with the Green Dragon cave since he was now of Dragon attribute.
Assured Alpha was alright, Bai Qi felt relieved, sat down cross-legged and sank his consciousness into the Beast Control Space.
Streams of silver light were pouring from between the cracks in the Evolution Egg, illuminating the bronze crystal wall and creating a strange, mottled pattern.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 100%)
[Condition]: Activated
The encounter with the timid dragon had filled up the progress of the Bronze Egg, but for some reason, the progress was still stuck at 100%, without advancing to the next phase as expected.
¡°I hope it won¡¯t be stuck here for years likest time¡¡¯
With a slight twitch of his lips, Bai Qi tried to expedite the Evolution Egg¡¯s upgrade with his Spirit Power, but it held on without hatching, utterly disregarding his efforts.
Come on now, this is Beast Master World, not some world of cultivation. Why the heck are there bottlenecks?
¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s leave this forter once we¡¯re out of this secret realm.
Sighing at the aloof Evolution Egg, Bai Qi fruitlessly exited the Beast Control Space just as Nichs returned from outside.
Nichs dropped his wful of stuff in front of Bai Qi and offeren excitedly, ¡°Here, these are my favorite foods. You guys should try them.
Looking at the bunch of grass in front of him, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. He inquired uncertainly, ¡°Um, you eat these¡ regrly?¡±
¡°Yeah, of course! What else would I eat?¡±
Nichs grabbed a handful of grass and added, ¡°I¡¯ve been eating these since I? was a chick. They¡¯re good for your stomach and help with sleep, they¡¯re great.
¡°Okay¡¡±
No wonder Nichs didn¡¯t react to them-turns out, he¡¯s a vegetarian dragon.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating? You don¡¯t like it? I could get you something else.¡±
¡°No need!¡±
Bai Qi immediately raised both hands to stop him.
Though the grass was a bit in, at the very least, it was edible. If Nichs ended up bringing back tree bark or something, he wouldn¡¯t know what to do. After all, even though the dragon was a bit timid, it was still a legendary giant dragon!
What if they caused him to lose his temper? The four of them wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against a single smack from him.
Thinking this, Bai Qi looked at the slime that had zealously started munching away at the pile of grass. He picked up a stalk as tall as him, tore off a piece, forcefully stuffed it in his mouth, and after a cursory chew, swallowed directly. After all, he either had to eat something or not. Better to appease this timid dragon first.
When he swallowed the grass, however, a warm sensation spread quickly throughout his body, even enhancing his Spirit Power!
This grass¡¯s effects were stronger than even the Angel Fruit¡¯s!
Then, to Beta¡¯s surprise, Bai Qi grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into his mouth.
Awoo?
(Has he mistaken the grass for food?)

Trantor: 549690339
Witnessing the vigorous devouring of both man and dragon, Schuck immediately activated the scanning device.
¡°Massive quantities of energy value detected, matching with database¡ Match sessful, 80% simrity with Dragon Blood Grass.¡±
Eh?
(Does that mean it¡¯s edible?)
Beta licked its tongue and tried some Dragon Blood Grass. Then, it too joined the feeding frenzy.
In the colossal dragon¡¯s cave, only Alpha was left standing there dumbfounded.
¡°I can¡¯t eat anymore.¡±
Feeling satisfaction radiating from his body and soul, Bai Qiy on the ground, looking blissful, clearly ready for a good sleep.
Although this timid dragon seemed unreliable, it sure had great taste.
It helps satiate hunger and induces sleep. It really works.
Observing Bai Qi¡¯s satisfaction, the timid dragon lifted its head proudly, ¡°I told you it was delicious, didn¡¯t I? So, did I lie to you?¡±
Bai Qi signaled a thumbs up upon hearing this. He looked at the timid dragon, wagging its tail like a small puppy, seeking praise. He then sat up and said, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s excellent. But where did you find these things?¡±
The timid dragon pointed towards the outside, ¡°At the other side of the mountain. There¡¯s lots of this grass. But there are lots of scary little bugs over there, so I usually gather several days of food supply at once.¡±
¡°Little bugs?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi became curious. The timid dragon was the only creature he had encountered. Moreover, he didn¡¯t see any signs of other animals, let alone bugs.
ording to the timid dragon, it looked like all creatures had gathered in other locations.
Could it be possible that all of them were scared away by this dragon¡¯s might?
¡°Yes, they don¡¯t have ws, but they are slimy all over. Able to glide very quickly, their mouths are filled with sharp teeth. They often spit at me. Such a nuisance.¡±
Remembering some ghastly memories, the timid dragon couldn¡¯t help but shiver.
¡°Is it really that frightening?¡±
Seeing the timid dragon¡¯s reaction, Bai Qi had some doubts.
This creature fainted at the sight of humans. If now it was just shivering, these bugs were probably just general worms.
Noticing Bai Qi¡¯s doubtful gaze, the timid dragon felt wronged and directly stood up, ¡°Yeah, if you don¡¯t believe me, I can guide you there.¡±
¡°Fair enough, going straight to sleep after eating isn¡¯t good for health.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in agreement, put Alpha and Husky back into Beast Control Space. He picked up the slime creature and climbed onto the dragon¡¯s outstretched w.
He wanted to experience the feeling of being a dragon knight. But after seeing the sharp scales on the dragon¡¯s body, he gave up the idea.
Even though it was just a thought, Bai Qi had good reason to believe that those scales could easily cut most saddles, uh, I mean, dragon saddles.
So, one must have an iron butt to be a dragon knight!
With Bai Qi in its grip, the dragon pped its wings and left the cave, flying towards the deep mountains.
Although it appeared weak and unreliable, the timid dragon demonstrated excellent control over its strength. Despite its fast speed, Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel any wind pressure.
Because of this, Bai Qi had the time to take a good look at his surroundings.
Apart from the area where the timid dragon lived, all the rest was shrouded in poison mist, extending much further than Bai Qi expected.
Thankfully, they didn¡¯t recklessly wander about earlier. Otherwise, he might have suffered the same fate as the scout bee.
As Bai Qi was lost in his thoughts, the timid dragon suddenly halted and pointed towards a valley not far away, ¡°There, that¡¯s the ce.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi looked in the said direction. All he saw was lush grasnd in the valley, simr to what the green dragon had brought back.
However, apart from the Dragon Blood Grass, the valley was crawling with enormous green serpents.
Each serpent was of gigantic size. Compared to them, the Steel Scaled Snake he had encountered during the upational test looked rather lean.
Looking at the snake nest below, Bai Qi turned his stiff neck towards the dragon, ¡°By little bugs, did you mean them?¡±
¡°Yeah, what else should I call them?¡±
The timid dragon looked at Bai Qi curiously as if he was staring at an idiot.
Okay, no ws, slimy all over, glide very fast, have sharp teeth, and like to spit.
He should have realized that the timid dragon was referring to snakes.
¡°Earlier, I only gathered enough for you guys to eat. I didn¡¯t bring much, since we are here now, I will get some more.¡±
With that, the timid dragon lowered itself and darted towards the valley.
Hey, dude, could you drop me off first? I don¡¯t want to be mistaken as the enemy and attacked.
Observing the serpents rising upon sensing the dragon¡¯s approach, Bai Qi felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He pulled the slime creature to shield himself.
It¡¯s payback time now, slime creature.
Ka-Plop, Ka-Plop?
Formed into an umbre shape, the slime tilted its head in curiosity, not understanding Bai Qi¡¯s intentions. However, it was already used to Bai Qi¡¯s way of handling things and didn¡¯t mind.
But it seemed there was more delicious food over there¡
Quickly, Nichs, the timid dragon, hovered over the valley where numerous giant snakes were gathering. Roaring angrily, his mighty dragon¡¯s awe erupted. This invisible coercion stirred a wild wind in the valley, lifting some of the smaller snakes into the air and flinging them hard against the mountain walls, killing them instantly.
The power of a legend, finally revealed!
¡°Damn it, thank God this dragon has an inexplicable fear of humans. Otherwise, we¡¯d be screwed.¡±
Watching as Nichs resolved the snake problem with just a single roar, Bai Qi wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, determined to work on his rtionship with the timid dragon.
A legendary creature, if brought out, would undoubtedly be worshiped as a guardian deity by the Federation.
In fact, the Federation did treat some ownerless legendary creatures this way.
If he could establish a good rtionship with Nichs now, wouldn¡¯t he have a legendary creature backing him up once they got out?
Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but drooled a little.
Roar!
Just then, an angry roar echoed from the valley, pulling Bai Qi back from his daydream.
Turning towards the sound, he saw a giant python that was about the same size as Nichs slithered out of the cave with arge tumor-like growth on its head that resembled a horn or a crown.
Shit, was this guy about to turn into a flood dragon?
The python clearly feared Nichs, as it kept its head raised high, incessantly roaring at Nichs.
¡°Um, should we leave first?¡±
Seeing the giant python appear, Nichs suddenly got cold feet.
¡°Why? This guy should be no match for you, right?¡±
Although the python¡¯s aura was impressive, Bai Qi could also sense that it hadn¡¯t be a legendary creature yet.
He had seen two legendary creatures, he was capable of making this judgment.
¡°I just don¡¯t want to fight!¡±
Saying this, Nichs turned around and headed back to the dragon cave with Bai Qi without looking back.
Seeing Nichs behave this way, Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled. But it wasn¡¯t the time to ask questions, so he let Nichs take him back to the dragon cave.
¡°I¡¯m a bit tired today, and I want to rest. You can sleep anywhere you like.¡±
Saying this, Nichs immediately went to a corner of the dragon cave andy down to sleep.
¡°This guy, eat when he wants, sleep when he wants¡ Why am I a bit envious!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed helplessly. Feeling tired, he shaped the slime monster into a bed and fell deep asleep too.
Before the Songyue Building.
At thekeside stood an old man d in white, a crescent badge fixed on his chest, looked at the Secret Realm Tower in front of him, lost in contemtion.
Meanwhile, a group of Beast Masters dressed in ck were controlling their beasts to cleanse theke of toxins.
¡°Um, Grandpa Xiao, do you think Bai Qi will be okay?¡±
Zhou Yan, unusually quiet, asked the old man softly.
Chief of the Moon Night Tower, Xiao Ding, currently the oldest legend in the Federation, unquestionably.
Xiao Dingughed upon hearing this, ¡°Oh, our little Yan¡¯er is showing concern for others. Could you be falling in love?¡±
Zhou Yan rolled her eyes in response. ¡°Grandpa Xiao, you know nothing. I¡¯m going to be a female fighter like my teacher. Men would only slow me down!¡±
¡°Ha ha ha¡ You really are Leng Feifei¡¯s disciple. Yourments are just as distinctive.¡±
Xiao Dingughed heartily, then looked at the gate guarded by a group of people at the edge of theke. ¡°But this Bai Qi is really a troublemaker. No one has ever discovered a secret realm here in all these years, but he did at once. Things will surely be interesting in theing days.¡±
At Xiao Ding¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha and the others, who were also standing behind him, nodded in agreement.
If it¡¯s about stirring up trouble, they were willing to crown Bai Qi as the ultimate!
¡°But his Breaking the Void talent isn¡¯t bad. Even Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t open the gateway this quickly. I wonder where Old Qin found such a gem.¡±
Remembering that Bai Qi was rmended by President Qin, Xiao Ding¡¯s expression became strange.
¡°Lu Qing, Li Mu, have you figure out the gateway yet?¡±
At Xiao Ding¡¯s words, Lu Qing and Li Mu froze for a moment, but quickly got back to work. One was carefully deciphering the runes on the gate, the other trying tomunicate with his talent, attempting to break the gate¡¯s prohibition directly.
I just told Bai Qi off, and now I¡¯m losing face in front of Qing¡¯er.
Bai Qi, you are indeed a worthy opponent!
Achoo!
In his sleep, Bai Qi suddenly sneezed loudly. Seeing Nichs, who was sleeping soundly not far away, he casually pulled a fewrge leaves over him as a nket and then fell back asleep.
He had forgotten to cover himself while sleeping, he hoped he wouldn¡¯t catch a cold..

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Seeing the Matryoshka Doll Again
Trantor: 549690339
Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Burp¡
Bai Qi burped and looked at Nichs, who was still in a deep sleep next to him, feeling a bit helpless.
Ever since their return from the snakeir, Nichs had been sleeping for straight five days without even turning over.
Fortunately, the Dragon Blood Grass Nichs brought backst time was plentiful. Coupled with the fruits growing in the dragon cave and the food stored in Bai Qi¡¯s secret realm, they weren¡¯t running out of food.
¡°How long does this fellow n to sleep? If he sleeps for seventeen or eighteen years, we might miss our meals.¡±
Bai Qi yawned and looked at the husky, who was also eating Dragon Blood Grass with a disdainful face, and then at the Alpha, who was Making strenuous efforts to practice gravity amplification, a sudden idea struck him.
¡°How about you two have a fight?¡±
Ahwo?
(Human, are you crazy? Asking a Mid-Level Lord to challenge an Elite!)
Beta couldn¡¯t help but roll its eyes and gave Bai Qi a contemptuous look before turning its head away, refusing to speak.
¡°Well, then, I guess we should wait until you¡¯ve reached the Lord Level.¡±
Bai Qj sighed helplessly. Stuck in the secret realm all these days, Bai Qi had spent his time eating grass and discussing the modifications n of the mechanical parts with Schuck.
After all, having the Mechanical Engineering Department¡¯s data on the six stages, strengthening the mechanical parts was rtively simple.
The only problem now was the shortage of satisfactory metal.
Although Xia Xuan¡¯s titanium tinum alloy had a pretty good overall performance, it still fell short of Bai Qi¡¯s expectations.
As a dual-attribute pet of mechanical and biology, the material used for the mechanical parts would significantly impact the skill the husky would acquire after evolving into a Lord.
If possible, he would like to find a legendary metal for the Husky like Alpha. If that¡¯s not doable, a mythical material of spirit power would suffice.
¡°Schuck, what do you think about me helping the Federation to win over a legendary creature as a guardian beast and asking for a piece of legendary material as a return?¡±
Schuck paused for a moment and said, ¡°Although I also want to do it, from these days¡¯ observations, the possibility of this Green Dragon leaving the secret realm is rtively low.¡±
¡°That makes sense.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in frustration, considering the current lifestyle of this creature, it surely was a stay-at-home dragon.
No, it was even worse than a stay-at-home dragon. At least they have activities, but this creature was only eating and sleeping,pletely wasting the power of a legendary creature.
¡°It¡¯s alright. Let¡¯s focus on improving your racial values.¡±
Bai Qi then equipped Alpha, Husky and the slime with the Evolution Egg.
There was no immediate need to ammend the reinforcement n, and they couldn¡¯t leave. Therefore, using the Evolution Egg was ideal.
There was plenty of Dragon Blood Grass here, so it would be a waste not to use it.
Maybe due to continuous use of the Evolution Egg and the Dragon Blood Grass, Bai Qi¡¯s physical constitution had significantly improved.
After using the Evolution Egg three times in a row, he only felt a little weak. He ate two bites of Dragon Blood Grass and instantly recovered.
¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll move some of them to that valley. Then I can alternate between eating them and the Angel Fruit.¡±
Feeling the mild energy from the Dragon Blood Grass, Bai Qi sat down and started meditating.
Despite his good performance in training, his level was rather low. Being stuck here was the perfect time to meditate and improve his spirit power.
Snap!
Just then, the always broken Evolution Egg made a crisp sound. The bronze shell couldn¡¯t conceal the silver light any longer, and it filled Bai Qi¡¯s Beast Control Space with a silvery shine.
Did it finally break through?
Feeling the gradually expanding Beast Control Space and the Evolution Egg, which was still emitting a silver glow, Bai Qi fell into contemtion.
During thest time, Bai Heguang¡¯s Jiuyou Darkbird had helped himplete the progress of the ¡°ck Iron Egg,¡± making him advance to the second stage. This time, although he had advanced to 100% progress with the help of Nichs, he was still stuck without any advancement.
Initially, he thought he would stay stuck for a long time. However, he unexpectedly advanced.
Without encountering other pets, and Alpha¡¯s evolution also didn¡¯t take ce, the only probable reason could be the Dragon Blood Grass.
¡°Who would have thought that the Dragon Blood Grass, which can enhance physical fitness and spirit power, would really break my limit.¡±
Using the Evolution Egg consumed a lot of physical energy and spiritual power. However, after recovering, it also strengthened Bai Qi¡¯s physical constitution and spirit to a certain extent.
But this enchancement also had its own limit. Thest time during the ¡°ck Iron Egg,¡± because of an increase in usage frequency, he had reached a phase limit rather early.
But after he advanced to the second stage, the usage frequency of the Evolution Egg actually decreased. Hence, until now, he hadn¡¯t reached the limit of the enhancement.
In conclusion, in addition to raising the progress to 100%, advancing the Evolution Egg also needed a particr physical constitution and spirit power.
¡°Huh, didn¡¯t expect this Golden Finger to be so user-friendly.¡±
Looking at the Evolution Egg, which was still emitting a strong light, Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel troubled.
As per the past experience, the physical energy consumption increased after the Evolution Egg leveled up. If he didn¡¯t have a strong physical constitution and spirit power, he would most likely dehydrate.
So, from a certain perspective, the Evolution Egg¡¯s mechanism was protecting him.
Atst, changes in Bai Qi¡¯s Beast Control Space stopped. The original bronze crystal wall turned into a silver color, and the Evolution Egg returned to its original position.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Silver Egg 0%)
[Condition]: Activated
¡°It¡¯s a pity I put some on these guys too early, otherwise I could have tested the effect of the Silver Egg right away.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Silver Egg with some regret, nning to wait for another two hours, when the Evolution Egg transmitted another message.
¡°Can it be like this?¡±
Bai Qi walked up to Alpha¡¯s giant egg with some uncertainty, tentatively ced his hand on the eggshell, and then activated the Evolution Egg.
Familiar feelings, familiar form, his physical strength and spirit power quickly drained. The silver eggshell spread out along Bai Qi¡¯s right hand, surprisingly wrapping around the outside of the Bronze Egg.
Watching the rapidly forming Silver Egg, Bai Qi gnawed on a piece of Dragon Blood Grass to restore his strength, and once again sheathed Alpha in ayer of Silver Egg.
Nesting dolls!
Again, nesting dolls!
Bai Qi fell weakly to the ground, gnawing on Dragon Blood Grass while digesting the information from the Evolution Egg.
After upgrading to the Silver level, the Evolution Egg gained a new function, which was to simultaneously apply multiple Evolution Eggs to a single pet.
Although this feature seemed useless at first nce, Bai Qi liked it quite a lot.
Stacking eggs meant stacking time. In this way, he could just apply a few eggs to his pets before going to bed, making the most of his time, right?
Even any time when he was inconvenient to use the Evolution Egg could be utilized in this way.
He was on a fast track to bing a master of time management!
With this thought in mind, Bai Qi giggled foolishly. Suddenly feeling a bout of dizziness, he hastily munched on a couple of des of grass to fill his stomach.
It seemed that he couldn¡¯t be too reckless. He should first strengthen his constitution and spirit.
After continuously eating several Dragon Blood Grasses and nibbling on an Angel Fruit to change the taste, Bai Qi finally managed to recover.
¡°The ck Iron Egg takes half an hour, the Bronze Egg takes two hours, this Silver Egg should take at least four hours, oh and the stacking time needs to be ounted for.¡±
Looking at the three peacefully standing Silver Eggs, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit bored.
¡°Speaking of which, now that I¡¯m a third-stage, I should think about which creature to form a pact with.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the three Rune marks on the back of his left hand, unconsciously nced at Nichs the timid dragon lying next to him.
It could fly and it could fight, fitting Bai Qi¡¯s requirements perfectly.
Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking. A mythical creature. Even if Nichs was willing, Bai Qi dared not form a pact.
He would definitely explode¡
Perhaps sensing the aura of the Evolution Egg, Nichs finally woke up gradually. Upon seeing Bai Qi, it suddenly let out a shriek.
¡°A human!¡±
Bai Qi was blown away by the gust of wind from Nichs¡¯s shock, without any ability to resist, rolling toward the entrance of the cave.
What the heck, this thing must have just woken up and forgotten me, right?
Fortunately, the three Evolution Eggs blocked his path, saving Bai Qi¡¯s life. Nichs finally woke up fully.
¡°Huh, what are you doing? Are these eggs yours?¡±
Nichs curiously looked at the three Silver Eggs behind Bai Qi. He sniffed around and finally stopped in front of Alpha¡¯s egg.
¡°I¡¯ve wanted to ask you about this before, the smell on this, um¡ bones of yours, it¡¯s familiar, is it also a dragon?¡±
Bai Qi paused, then said, ¡°You could say that.¡±
After Alpha integrated the Crystal Dragon Bone, it developed a dragon attribute; considering it as Nichs¡¯s kindred was not a problem.
¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡±
Nichs¡¯s eyes lit up, and he started circling around Alpha¡¯s Silver Egg.
¡°Can it transform into a dragon just like me? Can it fly? No, it¡¯s too thin, it seems like it can¡¯t fly.¡±
¡°Why don¡¯t you just leave it here? I¡¯ll help it put on some weight.¡±
Watching Nichs chatter nonstop, Bai Qi suddenly had a wicked grin on his face.
Looking at this trend, it seemed not impossible to trick this thing into leaving? ¡°Ahem! Well, Alpha is my pet, so it might not be able to stay here with you.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡±
Nichs hangs his head in regret, but before he had a chance to be disappointed, Bai Qi hit while the iron was hot, ¡°Why don¡¯t youe with me? That way, you can always be with Alpha, right?¡±
¡°Leave?¡±
Nichs looked confused, obviously he never thought in that direction before. ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t you want to change to a morefortable environment? Don¡¯t you want to eat more delicious food?¡±
¡°To tell you the truth, I don¡¯t really want to leave. I think it¡¯s pretty good here,
and as for food¡¡±
Nichs grabbed a handful of Dragon Blood Grass and said, ¡°I¡¯m a vegetarian.1
Chapter 131 - 130: The Third Favorite Pet
Chapter 131: Chapter 130: The Third Favorite Pet
Trantor: 549690339 |
Bai Qi scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache; he looked at the deserted dragon cave of Nichs, and thought of another n.
¡°You must be very lonely here by yourself, right? There are plenty of other dragons outside, and quite a few female dragons too ¨C ¡±
¡°Female dragons?¡±
Nichs shook his head and said, ¡°I am only over eight hundred years old, still young, I am not considering anything about female dragons.¡±
Over eight hundred and still young? Is that how magnificent your dragon race is?
No bother living here, don¡¯t bother eating, don¡¯t bother with love affairs either.
I am sorry, I disturbed you¡
Seeing Nichs¡¯s indifferent demeanor, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang of frustration.
Holy cow, a homebody dragon is really unbeatable!
Wait, it is a homebody dragon, right?
Taking advantage of this idea, Bai Qi swiftly pulled out a television from his Secret Realm Ring, casually chose a cartoon and started ying it.
That wasn¡¯t all, Bai Qi brought out a few game consoles and showed Nichs the currently most popr game ¡°Little Ring¡±.
¡°What is this?¡±
Seeing all these unfamiliar electronic devices in front of him, Nichs¡¯s curiosity was instantly piqued. His gaze moved between the cartoons and the video games, almost causing his neck to twist into a flower.
Ah ha, sure enough, whether it¡¯s a homebody man or a homebody dragon, neither can resist the lure of anime and video games.
¡°Want to have a go?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Seeing Nichs¡¯s decisive reaction, Bai Qi, in contrast, became less anxious. He simply began to teach Nichs hands-on how to operate a television and video game console.
I don¡¯t care if you have niche interests, but you have to have an interest.
Crack!
The Husky and the Slime broke out of their eggshells one after the other. The energy from twoyered eggshell flowed into them, making them feel revigorated.
Thebined energy of a Bronze Egg and a Silver Egg was already not inferior to a supplement.
Huh?
(Did I just wake up from sleep? I think I saw a dragon watching TV. Is it a soap opera?)
As soon as Beta emerged, he saw Nichs, who was staring at the TV screen with great concern and was stunned.
¡°That¡¯s what I should be asking you! Why is there a soap opera stored in my television archive?¡±
Bai Qi punched Beta, originally intending to use cartoons and games to attract Nichs. However, the guy inexplicably turned on a soap opera and couldn¡¯t tear himself from it.
But it did achieve the desired effect.
Huh? Why did it go off? I was still wondering what would happen to the chick after she was sold.¡±
Nichs was engrossed in the show when the TV screen suddenly went ck. He couldn¡¯t help but shake the TV.
¡°Ahem, let me have a look.¡±
Bai Qi secretly put away the remote control in his hand and pretended to check the TV, saying, ¡°It looks like it ran out of power.¡±
The level of technology in the Federation far exceeded that of the previous world. Almost all electrical appliancese with their own power supply, so even if there was a power outage, it would not be significantly affected. ¡°Out of power?¡±
Nichs asked anxiously, ¡°Then hurry up and power it up!¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about it, it needs to be charged outside.¡±
Outside? So as long as we go out, we can continue to watch TV?¡±
Seeing Nichs obviously wavering, Bai Qi immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot, ¡°That¡¯s right, and there are even more TV programs outside. I can get you a thousand-inch screen then, that¡¯ll be enough for you!¡± ¡°Really?¡±
¡°Really! When have I ever lied to you?¡±
Seeing Nichs even more hesitant, the Husky on the side looked scornful.
Who promised the Slime that he could eat as much as it wanted?
Bai Qi gave Beta a heavy punch, then continued to ask, ¡°So, have you decided?¡± Nichs was silent for a moment, then said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I will go out to have a look, and if it¡¯s not fun, I wille back.¡±
¡°But how are we going to get out?¡±
Hearing Nichs¡¯ question, Bai Qi fell silent.
He entered through the back door this time, and unlike the Gemini Tower, getting defeated in the challenges wouldn¡¯t get you kicked out.
And the only creature he could currently ess was Nichs, who was full of uncertainties. Now that even Nichs didn¡¯t know where the exit was, Bai Qi didn¡¯t need to think further.
¡°Right, are you familiar with this ce? Besides you and those¡ urn¡ bugs, are there any other creatures here?¡±
Nichs thought for a moment, then said, ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any around here, I don¡¯t know about further away, I don¡¯t like to wander.¡±
Alright, it really was a homebody dragon.
Bai Qi facepalmed, but soon thought of something.
¡°So, besides here, the only ce with creatures is that valley, right?¡±
Nichs nodded and said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡±
¡°Then that must be it.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the entrance to the Secret Realm should be in that valley. If we could take over that valley, we could get out.¡± ¡°The valley? Shall we not go?¡±
When Nichs hears Bai Qi wants to go to the valley, he starts to hesitate again. Seeing Nichs like this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°I¡¯ve been meaning to ask you, you¡¯re stronger than that poisonous serpent, so why are you so scared of it?¡±
Nichs shook his head and said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t know why, it¡¯s just that when I was a child, my mother always told me that if I see a big bug with horns on its head, I should run away, we can¡¯t beat it.¡±
A big bug with horns on its head?
Bai Qi paused, suddenly thought of something, took out a pen and paper and scribbled for a while, saying, ¡°Is this the big bug your mother mentioned?¡±
The head like a camel, horn like a deer, eye like a rabbit, ear like a bull, neck like a snake, belly like a m, scales like a carp, ws like an eagle, it was the Eastern Dragon n.
¡°Yes, yes, yes, it¡¯s this one!¡±
Nichs, the timid dragon, nced at the majestic giant dragon on the drawing, nodding frantically.
¡°So that¡¯s it, turns out your mother was beaten by an Eastern dragon¡
Bai Qi realized suddenly.
The dragons of this world were divided into two types. One type was the winged dragons, simr to Nichs and Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon, and resembled the Western dragons of the previous life.
The other type was the wingless dragons, simr to the Eastern dragons of the previous life.
However, Eastern dragons seemed to have virtually gone extinct a long time ago, leaving only some historical myths behind. Thus, the currently dominant dragons in the Federation were the Western dragons.
Looking at the lifelike Eastern dragon in front of him, Nichs, out of fear, took a step back.
¡°You just said there are many dragons outside, are they all like this? If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m not going out. If you can make it out, just remember toe visit me in the future. Oh¡and bring Alpha.¡±
Bai Qi looked serious upon hearing this and replied, ¡°Of course not. It looks like I need to enlighten you.¡±
With that said, Bai Qi started to draw again on the paper, and several creatures emerged on it.
The so-called snakes grow into pythons, pythons grow into ¡°ran¡±, ¡°ran¡± grow into Flood Dragons, and Flood Dragons grow into dragons. Those creatures in the valley are basically venomous pythons, thergest one is slowly evolving into a ¡°ran¡± and is not the big bug your mother mentioned.¡± ¡°Really?¡±
Nichs was still somewhat dubious.
¡°Of course, but if you continue to ignore them, things might change for the worse.¡±
Bai Qi spoke earnestly, ¡°If it grows two horns, you might not be able to beat it alright?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Nichs finally made up his mind.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll apany you on this trip!¡±
Seeing Nichs being sessfully persuaded, Bai Qi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, he noticed Beta¡¯s eyes filled with disbelief.
Woof woof!
(Even a small dragon can be deceived, is there anything you can¡¯t do human?)
¡°When did I fool him? dare to say where I got it wrong? Also, next time don¡¯t look at me with that sort of gaze, or I won¡¯t mind letting the slime creature return to its old ce.¡±
An Wo?
(Did I say anything just now?)
Threatened by Bai Qi, Beta immediately yed dumb, while Bai Qi started discussing the subsequent matters with Nichs.
¡°Alpha hasn¡¯t hatched yet, shall we set offter?¡±
¡°No problem, I also need to pack some stuff.¡±
After saying this, Nichs went into the depths of the cave and began to rummage around.
¡°Then, the next thing to consider is another matter.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the slime creature who had been quietly eating ever since it woke up. He walked up to it and asked, ¡°Little guy, would you like to be my pet?¡±
In fact, ording to Bai Qi¡¯s wish, it would be best for this third pet to be a flying creature. If not something like Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon or Bai Heguang¡¯s Jiuyou Darkbird, at least it should be like Lv You¡¯s Gale Wing. But now, the method to leave the secret realm was most likely in that valley. Although Nichs had promised to take action, if something went wrong, he might have to rely on the slime creature to save them.
The slime creature was quite obedient now, but there was a significant differencepared to after forming a contract.
Kapu Kapu?
(Pet, can it be eaten?)
Seeing the question mark that appeared above the slime creature¡¯s head, Bai Qi
had no choice but to ask Beta for help again.
Woof woof!
(Pets can¡¯t be eaten. But if you listen to him in the future, you can eat whatever you want.)
Kapu Kapu?
(Is it different from now?)
Woof woof!
(Indeed. By following him, maybe you can eat that big thing in the future.)
Kapu Kapu!
(Then I want it!)
Looking at the slime creature in front of him whose face was full of excitement and whose arm reached out to touch him willingly, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction. He connected his spirit power with the third Rune Mark and two silver arrays enveloped the slime creature and sent it into the Beast Control Space.
At the same time, the data of the slime creature was directly fed into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Name]: Slime Creature
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Level]: First Stage One Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servants
[Racial skills]: Energy Absorption (Perfect), Mimicry (Perfect), Corrosion (Proficient), Toxin Resistance (Proficient), zing Resistance (Skilled), Radiation Resistance (Skilled), Current Resistance(Skilled). Frozen resistance (Beginner), me Resistance (Beginner).
[Energy Value]: 8800
[Condition]: Evolvable
Impressive, it already has an energy value of 8800 at level one. If the level increases further, it will be terrifying.
Also, the energy feedback from forming a contract with the slime creature seems to be much greater than Alpha and Husky.
Feeling his physical fitness improving yet again, Bai Qi was more and more satisfied with the slime creature.
¡°The usual rule, I will also give you a name.¡±
First there¡¯s Alpha, then there¡¯s Beta, so you should be called¡
¡°Hulk!¡±

Hearing the name Bai Qi gave to the Slime creature, Husky couldn¡¯t resist expressing some distaste.
The names that Bai Qi had originally given them were already bizarre enough, but somehow, he had managed to trump himself with an even more peculiar name.
¡°Don¡¯t like it? I was thinking of trying a different style.¡±
Bai Qi sighed with some disappointment, ¡°In that case, you can be called
Gamma.¡±
Cmari Cmari?
(I have a name?)
The Slime creature was clearly very pleased with its name, bouncing around the cave in delight.
¡°I¡¯m all packed up, when do we set off.¡±
Nichs appeared from the depths of the cave, but as Bai Qi looked him up and down, he could see no signs of any packed items.
Could it be that Nichs had actually mastered a Space Skill?
¡°Where is all your stuff? Did you eat it all?¡±
Nichs shook his head, then spread out his dragon w to reveal a slowly opening green flower. Nestled within the flower¡¯s petals, were the things the Green Dragon had stashed away in the cave.
¡°This is my skill, the Jade Flower Realm, I can use it to store some things.¡±
So it was indeed a Space Skill.
Envious, Bai Qi licked his lips then checked the time. ¡°Alpha should wake up in about three hours, let¡¯s wait a bit longer.¡±
Nichs nodded, ¡°Perfect, you can tell me about the outside world.¡±
Bai Qi patted his chest, ¡°Not a problem! Just make sure to remember what I tell you, otherwise people will trick you outside.¡±
¡°Mmm, I¡¯ll only believe you, Bai Qi! I won¡¯t believe a word anyone else says!¡±
¡°Good, then let me start by telling you about¡¡±
Valley Snake Cave.
Countless giant snakeszilyy in the valley, their crimson tongues flicking in and out, greedily absorbing the unique aroma of the valley.
Without predators, they couldfortably absorb the dragon aura within the Dragon Blood Grass to enhance themselves. The only pity was that they were not qualified to enter the cave, otherwise their rate of evolution would have been faster.
Roar!
A roar sent the entire valley shaking. The giant snakes raised their heads, looking at the sky.
A massive green dragon was hovering above the valley, releasing its terrifying draconic aura without restraint, instantly crushing some of the weaker poisonous snakes into mush.
Hissss¡
Seeing this, the giant snakes all enteredbat mode, opening their mouths and spewing a massive wave of venom at the skyward beast.
But Nichs was flying too high, the venom couldn¡¯t reach him and just fell back to the ground.
¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±
Bai Qi pped Nichs, who immediately understood. He turned towards the valley and spewed out a green dragon¡¯s breath, directly enveloping the entire valley.
[Skill Name]: Jade Breath
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Effect]: Ability of the Green Dragon. Can purify any abnormalities, infiltrate enemies with the power of jade, and drain all of their energy.
To avoid any mishaps, Nichs directly used the Super Level skill, and its effect was indeed significant. The valley¡¯s poisonous snakes exploded on contact with the Jade Breath, transforming into streams of green light that merged with the Jade Breath.
¡°Even though it¡¯s a Super Skill, the effect is quite different when used by a legendary creature.¡±
This was the first time Bai Qi had seen a legendary creature using a Super Level skill and at such a close distance, no less.
No wonder legendary creatures were revered as guardian deities by the Federation. Before a legendary creature, those below legendary status indeed had little power to resist.
And this was when Nichs was not even giving it his all. If he went all-out, the scene would have been even more shocking.
Soon, all the poisonous snakes in the valley disappeared under the Jade Breath. Yet the Dragon Blood Grass and other nts within the valley werepletely unscathed, even appearing more lush than before.
However, such a massivemotion woke up the Giant Python. Its massive body slithered out from the cave. Upon seeing Nichs in the sky, it immediately let out an angry roar.
Looking at the huge python below that seemed ready to rush upwards, Nichs instinctively wanted to retreat.
The fear of the Eastern Dragon, which had been ingrained in his mind for hundreds of years, was not something that could be forgotten so easily.
¡°Don¡¯t be a coward, we¡¯re with you!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately began to reassure Nichs. He signaled askance at Alpha, who immediately got the message. Switching into machine gun mode, Alpha started to attack the python like crazy.
Because he was held by Nichs, Alpha didn¡¯t need to worry about the recoil, so he focused entirely on the assault. His attack rate was significantly faster than when he was previously fighting the Earthshaking Bull Demon. Combined with the addition of the Withering Power, the initially ferocious python was instantly caught off guard.
Roar!
Seeing itself being hurt by a small skeleton, the python was once again enraged. It whipped its tail and countless scales shimmering with dark green light spun toward Alpha.
Seeing this, Nichs instantly gained some altitude, but the python didn¡¯t seem to want to let them go, matching their attack height.
¡°Alpha, let¡¯s see that new skill.¡±
Click-click-click.
(Okay.)
Alpha nodded and was instantly covered by a stream of earthy yellow power which gradually concentrated, finally converging onto the bones of his right hand.
Then, with a flick of his finger, Alphaunched the phnx, causing all the scales of the poison snake that it passed to deviate from their trajectory.
Gravity Amplification.
Because it was a recently mastered skill, the proficiency of Gravity Amplification was only at the beginner level. Therefore, unlike the Earthshaking Bull Demon, Alpha couldn¡¯t condense a gravity ball out of thin air and could only use some mediums to perform.
Although the power was less, it was enough to interfere with the physical long-range attack of the poison snake, it wasn¡¯t as potent as the Earthshaking Bull Demon to explode the star-effect.
The attack from Alpha seemed to have encouraged Nichs, he could also clearly sense the difference in power between him and the poison snake.
So, not every insect with long horns is capable of fighting.
Finally, the shadow that had existed in its mind for many years gradually disappeared, reced by the confidence that a legendary creature should have.
With his feet in the Void, Nichs coldly looked at the poison snake still roaring below, and said, ¡°If thou dost not leave quickly, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless!¡±
Puff!
Hearing Nichs¡¯s words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh aloud, immediately contacting Husky in the Beast Control Space, swearing, ¡°You stupid dog, what did you show him again!¡±
Woof! Woof!
(Nothing much, just showed him some mythological TV series.)
Just as I thought!
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched a little, however, seeing Nichs gradually oveing his fear of the giant snake, he remained silent.
It¡¯s okay to be entric, as long as he can win.
The giant snake didn¡¯t understand Nichs¡¯s actions, but this didn¡¯t prevent it from noticing the disdain in Nichs¡¯s eyes. It was instantly filled with rage and its energy began to converge towards the lump on its head.
At the same time, a dense green cloud gradually appeared directly above the heads of Bai Qi and the others, the putrid smell could even be smelled from afar.
Is it, calling the wind and summoning the rain?
Brother, you¡¯ve run to the wrong film set.
Looking at the thickening green cloud above his head, Nichs also sensed a hint of danger and immediately took flight towards the valley.
The giant snake seemed to have predicted this result. As Nichs flew, it also shot towards the sky.
¡°You guys go down first, so that I can concentrate on dealing with him.¡±
Nichs skillfully avoided the giant snake¡¯s attack, set Bai Qi and Alpha on the ground, then flew up again, pulling the giant snake to fly elsewhere.
Bai Qi had no intention of staying at all, he directlymanded Alpha to carry him and ran towards the cave where the giant snake had emerged from.
Nichs was undoubtedly stronger than the poison snake, but from what this guy said, it seemed he hasn¡¯t really fought properly, so he might not be able to exert his full strength.
So, just to be safe, Bai Qi and Nichs had nned in advance.
Nichs was responsible for eliminating the valley snakes and the giant snake. If not, he would first pull the giant snake away, while Bai Qi was responsible for entering and inspecting the situation inside the cave.
If they could find the core, it would be the best. If not, there would be no need for them to continue wasting time with the giant snake.
But before they could run far, poison rain began to fall from the green cloud above their heads.
¡°Damn, it¡¯s really summoning the rain.¡±
Looking at the falling poisonous rain above his head, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but curse. Alpha immediately summoned the Ice Crystal Barrier to block it above his head.
However, the poison snake¡¯s level was much higher than Bai Qi¡¯s. The Ice Crystal Barrier only held out for a while before showing signs of being corroded by the potent poison. Some that fell on the ground quickly evaporated, turning into dense poisonous mist floating towards Bai Qi.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately summoned Gamma out. Gamma instantly transformed into an armor,pletely enclosing Bai Qi and blocking the poisonous mist outside.
¡°Phew¡ It was indeed a correct decision to contract with the Slime Monster.¡±
Looking at the valley that was also covered in poisonous mist, Bai Qi quietly sighed a sigh of relief, then told Alpha to speed up and run towards the cave.
Although Gamma had toxin resistance, his skill level was too low and could only protect him from being poisoned by the slightest.
If the slime monster couldn¡¯t hold it, and as before, dposed on its own, with his small physical stature, he could boast to the King of Hell that he had survived for five seconds.
Fortunately, the ce where Nichs set them down was not far from the cave. Under Alpha¡¯s full sprint, they quickly ran into the cave.
As soon as Bai Qi entered the cave, he sensed an unusual aura, and the pervasive toxins seemed disturbed by this aura, hovering only at the entrance of the cave, unable to enter.
¡°It seems that this ce is most likely the core area of the secret realm.¡±
Seeing this scenario, Bai Qi further affirmed his suspicion, summoned all three of his pets, and carefully proceeded deeper into the cave.
Woof! Woof!
(What kind of creepy ce is this? Everything is so slimy! It¡¯s disgusting!)
Beta shook off the sticky substance attached to his paw and didn¡¯t hide his dislikes, while Schuck activated the cleaning device to wash off the surrounding slime.
¡°This is a snake¡¯s den. Did you think it was your home? Hurry up and find the core.¡±
Bai Qi kicked the hypersensitive Husky and started carefully inspecting every corner of the cave.
Finally, after passing through a sticky tunnel, the cave started to broaden.
And what came into view was a huge skeleton.
The owner of this skeleton had been dead for a long time, some parts of it had already started to rot.
But even so, Bai Qi could still sense a profound dominant aura.
It was the aura he had seen on Alpha and Nichs.
The Dragon Majesty.
Then, is this a dragon bone?!
Chapter 133 - 132: Bai Qi, You’re Lying!
Chapter 133: Chapter 132: Bai Qi, You¡¯re Lying!
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi stared in disbelief at the dragon bone in front of him, which was two sizes bigger than Nichs. Bai Qi finally believed the other party¡¯s statement that he was still small.
The bone was almost decaying, but it still carried such a formidable aura. No wonder the Dragon Race, with their exceptional talents, was eminent among many systems.
If he took this back, these would be invaluable materials worth a fortune!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes once again turned into the shape of coins, ready to go ahead and take them, but he noticed something seemed to be piled under the dragon bone.
¡°Schuck, what are those things?¡±
Out of caution, Bai Qi did not rush forward.
Schuck released all of his surveince bees, quickly confirming what those things were.
¡°They appear to be snake eggs, likelyid by that giant python.¡±
After havingpared and deduced, Schuck finally drew a conclusion.
¡°Moreover, these snake eggs seem to be about to hatch.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes grew cold. With so many snake eggs, even if only a few hatched, it¡¯d have been enough for him to handle.
¡°Alpha, cool them down.¡±
At Alpha¡¯smand, an Ice Crystal Barrier was summoned above the dragon bone. It then turned into ice dust and covered the snake eggs, which had been showing signs of activity, and quieted down immediately.
¡°It seems that those snakes in the valley hatched from here.¡±
Bai Qi carefully approached a snake egg, looking at the small snake curled up under the nearly transparent eggshell, he suddenly had an idea.
¡°Schuck, can you find out the species of this snake?¡±
¡°Database matching¡ Found a simr snake species with 78% simrity, the Green Scale Snake. The bloodline appears to have changed.¡±
Having scanned the snake egg, Schuck provided his own analysis.
¡°I see, so these snakes are a new species, right?¡±
¡°That should be the case.¡±
Bai Qi smiled, instructed Alpha a few times, and then Alpha instantly disappeared on the spot.
Subsequently, Bai Qi kept moving among the snake eggs, and where he passed, the snake eggs disappeared. Therge nest of snake eggs was amazingly wiped clean by Bai Qi.
Roar!
As if sensing what happened to its children, the python that was supposed to be entangled with Nichs suddenly appeared in the cave. After seeing its now empty home, it recklessly rushed towards Bai Qi.
Oh shit, is Nichs this unreliable!
Bai Qi cursed under his breath, immediately called back Alpha who was aiding the snake eggs¡¯ hibernation, preparing to face-off with the python.
Boom! Just then, the cave¡¯s roof suddenly copsed, and Nichs fell from the sky,nding right on the python. His heavy pawsnded on the python¡¯s tail, and his ws held the python¡¯s body firmly. Before the python could counterattack, Nichs opened his mouth and spewed Jade Breath.
Being hit by the super skill of a legendary creature, the python¡¯s breath slowly faded, and it, like its progeny, turned into Jade light and merged into Nichs¡¯ body.
¡°The dragon has won, the dragon really won!¡±
Having ovee his inner fear for many years, Nichs was clearly excited, and Bai Qi was quite delighted too.
A legendary giant dragon that had ovee its fear, if he took it out, wouldn¡¯t he be walking sideways in the Federation?
But Nichs quickly sobered up from his joy, looked at the dragon bones gradually revealing its full view under the sunlight, and suddenly froze.
¡°Mother?¡±
¡°Mother!¡±
Hearing Nichs¡¯s words, Bai Qi felt a chill in his heart, and seeing the dragon bone, which was previously deathly still and now suddenly glowing green, he had no choice but to acknowledge this fact.
Originally, he was thinking about taking some rtively well-preserved dragon bones, but it looked like now, unless he nned to measure strength with Nichs, it wasn¡¯t going to happen.
Well, not being able to have dragon bones meant one couldn¡¯t make a cover for the dragon.
He didn¡¯t care!
Bai Qi forcefully pulled on Husky¡¯s neck, trying his best to shift his attention elsewhere, making Alpha and the slime monster, who were by his side, puzzled.
Ka-pu ka-pu?
(Has the Master always been like this?)
Ga ga.
(asionally, I guess.)
Ka-pu ka-pu.
(I understand now.)
Perhaps sensing the pull of the same origin, increasingly more green light points were emitting from the dragon bone. They lit up the entire cave just like fireflies.
Nichs also seemed to have noticed something. He did not resist at all and let the green light points enter his body.
Finally, when thest green light disappeared into Nichs, the huge dragon bone turned into ash and disintegrated instantly. Obviously, because its energy was exhausted, it could no longer maintain itself.
¡°So, was the python changed because it absorbed the energy from the dragon bone?¡±
Looking at Nichs, whose size was obviouslyrger than before, Bai Qi also understood the reason why the python was so fierce. But the heartache he had just eased red up again.
Had he been able to take all of it back, and if his three pets had absorbed it, how much would they have been strengthened?
¡°Hmm, it seems like I¡¯ve found a way out.¡±
While Bai Qi was heartbroken and once again venting on Husky, Nichs suddenly said something without a cause.
¡°Really? Have you found the control core?¡±
Bai Qi looked around but couldn¡¯t find anything special.
¡°Mother gave it to me. I¡¯ll try.¡±
With that, Nichs¡¯s eyes suddenly turned a jade green, and then arge door appeared.
It was now right in front of them.
Alright, I¡¯m really not bothered by it.
Bai Qi managed to muster a faint smile, just as he was about to look for Husky, he found that the dog had scampered off at some point and was now digging around Nichs¡¯ feet.
¡°What have you found this time?¡±
Bai Qi curiously watched Alpha, temporarily forgetting about his previous loss.
Soon, a meaty object was dug up by Husky. However, after sniffing it, Husky kicked it away with a disgusted look on his face.
I thought it was something good, but it turns out to be this disgusting thing, I¡¯m really disappointed.
¡°Is that the flesh tumor of a poisonous python?¡±
Looking at the meatbail that Husky had kicked away, Bai Qi soon recognized its origin.
Although it was a bit small, it was undoubtedly the flesh tumor on the head of the giant python.
If it could be preserved under Nichs¡¯ Jade Breath, then this meatbail was definitely a good thing!
Thinking this, Bai Qi immediately had Alpha pick it up and store it in the secret space for safekeeping, fearing Nichs might burn it again if he was not satisfied.
¡°Hmm, it seems like there are people opening the portal back outside. Should we go?¡±
Just then, Nichs appeared to have sensed something, tilted his head, and asked Bai Qi.
¡°Let¡¯s go, of course we should!¡±
Outside the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Li Mu¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, one hand tightly pressed on the main entrance of the Secret Realm Tower, unable to feel any chance of opening it, while next to him, Lu Qing was helplessly trying to persuade him.
¡°Li Mu, I¡¯ve almost deciphered the rune of the main entrance, why don¡¯t you let me give it a go?¡±
Li Mu heard this and firmly shook his head, saying, ¡°There¡¯s a certain chance of triggering a defense mechanism if the rune is deciphered, it¡¯d be better if I do it.¡±
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing sighed lightly, exchanged a nce with Zhou Yan next to him, and was about to forcibly drag Li Mu away.
Given Li Mu¡¯s stubbornness, when he said he wouldn¡¯t retreat, he wouldn¡¯t. However, they had already dyed a great deal of time. If they continued like this, who knew if Bai Qi was still alive?
But right at that moment, the originally closed gate of the Secret Realm suddenly swung open. A huge figure, shrouded in terrifying aura, appeared before them.
Still in the process of fervently trying tomunicate with the realm, Li Mu stared nkly at the figure that had suddenly appeared. Before he could react, Zhang Shan, who was in charge of handling this Secret Realm Tower, let out a furious roar.
¡°Everyone, move away immediately!¡±
This kind of aura, he had only ever felt it from legendary creatures. Now when none of the legends were present, their only option was to run.
Not only Zhang Shan made this decision, but also the Beast Masters of the Federation who were either cleaning up the nearby waters or maintaining public order, they pulled away instantly upon sensing this aura.
However, they did not run away, but instead went intobat mode.
As Beast Masters of the headquarters, this wasn¡¯t their first time dealing with such a situation, so they had some experience.
Moreover, if they also retreated, wouldn¡¯t the nearby citizens be left at the mercy of this ferocious beast?
After backing away, the group of them finally got a clear view of this creature that was menacingly radiating sheer terror.
A giant dragon!
¡°Eh? You guys are here?¡±
Just when everyone was on high alert, a familiar voice suddenly emerged from atop the giant dragon¡¯s head.
Everyone turned their eyes and astonishingly found that the voice¡¯s owner was none other than Bai Qi, who had been trapped inside the Secret Realm!
Zhou Yan reached out and pinched Lu Qing¡¯s arm, asking, ¡°Qing¡¯er, am I still dreaming or is Bai Qi really sitting on top of a legendary dragon¡¯s head?¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses, brushing off Zhou Yan¡¯s hand in the process, and said, ¡°You are wide awake, you didn¡¯t see wrong, but next time, can you pinch yourself instead?¡±
Zhou Yan nodded but didn¡¯t respond, simply staring at Bai Qi in idiocy.
Just a few days and Bai Qi was able to contract with a legendary dragon?
¡°Bai Qi?¡±
Looking at Bai Qi, who was standingfortably on top of Nichs¡¯s head, Zhang Shan furrowed his brows and asked, ¡°Can you simply exin the situation?¡±
Bai Qi paused for a moment, and said, ¡°Um, it¡¯s a bitplicated, let¡¯s talk about it once we get back to headquarters.¡±
Zhang Shan:¡±¡¡±
¡°Can you at least get the dragon to stop intimidating first?¡±
¡°Oh, sure.¡±
Only then did Bai Qi realize that Nichs was still releasing his dragon¡¯s majesty and immediately patted Nichs¡¯ head saying, ¡°That¡¯s enough, they¡¯re going to get scared if you keep this up.¡±
Nichs: ¡±¡¡±
Seeing that Nichs didn¡¯t respond, Bai Qi leaned over in confusion, only to find that Nichs¡¯s eyes were rolling back a little.
Oh crap, isn¡¯t he about to faint again?
Seeing this, Bai Qi rolled his eyes and poked Nichs¡¯ eyes hard in front of the astonished crowd.
Finally, Nichs came back to his senses, looking at the gathering crowd and feeling a bit dizzy again.
¡°I have never seen so many humans before, I¡¯m a bit dazzled.¡±
¡°Haven¡¯t I told you that you¡¯re a legendary creature? There aren¡¯t many who can defeat you, what¡¯s there to be afraid of?!¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Nichs felt slightly better. Just as he was about to say something ording to the script that Bai Qi had prepared for him earlier, Nichs noticed that six powerful auras were rapidly approaching from a distance.
They all seemed stronger than him!
Bai Qi, you lied to me!
Chapter 134 - 133: Nicholas Ye Sidao
Chapter 134: Chapter 133: Nichs Ye Sidao
Trantor: 549690339
Soon, six creatures about the same size as Nichs appeared outside of the Green Dragon Secret Realm. Upon seeing the six figures being carried by these creatures, Zhang Shan and others bowed respectfully to them.
These six people were none other than the core of the Beast Master Association, the Six Tower Masters.
¡°Even managed to coax out a Legendary Giant Dragon? Huh, this youngster is interesting.¡±
The bald elder standing in the middle examined Nichs, then looked at Bai Qi riding on the dragon¡¯s head, and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.
A young man smiled warmly and said, ¡°What a coincidence, Chairman, I also think this kid is good. I heard from Luo Xiang that Zhang Shan was even knocked out by him when he went to pick him up? If I have the chance, I n to recruit him into the Schizonepeta Tower. These people here are all dull- minded, it¡¯s too boring.¡±
¡°Song Yao, you can stop dreaming. I¡¯ve seen this kid¡¯s assessment video. He has a good tactical mind. He should join our Tower of Competition.¡±
Another muscr man immediately objected when he heard Song Yao¡¯s words. Upon hearing the man¡¯s words, Song Yao¡¯s smile was immediately reced by a cold murderous intent.
¡°BaiTongchen, are you seeking death?¡±
Bai Tongchen raised an eyebrow and said, ¡°Oh? You want to try?¡±
Suddenly, the two of them were at odds.
¡°Both of you shut up.¡±
At this moment, a gentle woman standing next to the chairman frowned slightly, causing them to immediately cease their argument.
Lan Ke, the Tower Master of the Tower of Knowledge, is a Legendary Beast Master.
Seeing the quieter scene, Lan Ke loosened her eyebrows. The chairman, Zhao Futu, could barely hold back hisughter, as he steered the giant creature to Nichs, who was about to faint, and said, ¡°Hello, I am Zhao Futu, the chairman of the Beast Master Association. May I ask your name, sir?¡±
¡°Bai Qi, how should I respond?¡±
Upon hearing Zhao Futu¡¯s question, Nichs hurriedly asked Bai Qi in a soft whisper.
¡°He¡¯s asking for your name. Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t have a name?¡±
¡°Name? I don¡¯t have one. I don¡¯t need it.¡±
Bai Qi sighed upon hearing this, and said, ¡°Then just make up one.¡±
¡°Make up one?¡±
Nichs thought for a moment, and got an idea quickly.
m Nichs Ye Sdao!¡±
Upon hearing these words from Nichs, everyone in the room was taken aback. Their expressions turned strange, and Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but pinch himself.
Indeed, he shouldn¡¯t have let this creature watch television, let alone let him name himself!
¡°Good name!¡±
While everyone was secretly sneering, Zhao Futu¡¯s eyes lit up. He said, ¡°Then, Mr. Nichs, would you like to go somewhere quieter with me to have a chat?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Nichs nodded and seriously said, ¡°But I like tranquility. Let those people go-¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded, and Zhang Shan and the others immediately led the Association members to disperse the crowd.
Soon, only the Six Tower Masters remained around Nichs.
Well, and Bai Qi on its head.
¡°Holy shit, did Bai Qi really lure out that Giant Dragon? He is too fierce!¡±
Watching Nichs, who didn¡¯t seem to mind Bai Qi sitting on his head, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but curse.
¡°As far as I know, dragons would not easily allow someone to ride on them. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be so difficult to form a contract with the Dragon Race. From the looks of Bai Qi, it seems he has gained this Giant Dragon¡¯s friendship.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded in agreement, saying, ¡°I gradually understand why my father is so concerned about Bai Qi.¡±
¡°Too bad we can¡¯t hear what they are saying, otherwise we could have known what Bai Qi did in the secret realm. We¡¯ll just have to ask himter.¡±
Zhou Yan sighed with regret, knowing the calming barrier formed by the Void Skate under the chairman¡¯s control could smooth out all energy fluctuations, to say nothing of blocking sound transmission.
Lu Qing adjusted her sses and said, ¡°Given the involvement of a Legendary Giant Dragon, what happened to Bai Qi in the Secret Realm will definitely be regarded as ssified. So, you might as well stop thinking about it.¡±
After saying that, Lu Qing turned around and left.
¡°Qing¡¯er, where are you going?¡±
¡°To read.¡±
Zhou Yan remained silent, and then saw Li Mu summon his pet and quickly left as well, clearly also affected.
¡°These two, have such weak mental strength.¡±
Zhou Yan looked scornfully at the departing figures, only to realize that Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan had also quietly left.
¡°What¡¯s with you two?¡±
Bai Qiucha stopped, pointed towards where Bai Qi was, and said, ¡°Bai Qi is already at the third tier, we should also put in more effort.¡±
¡°Third tier? Sowhat?¡±
¡°Bai Qi has only awakened his Talent less than three months ago¡¡±
¡°¡let¡¯s do it together¡¡±
Watching the people disperse, Zhao Futu finally turned to Nichs with a smile, and said, ¡°Mr. Nichs, can we start our conversation now?¡±
Zhao Futu¡¯s behavior made Nichs feel a good affinity for him, but remembering the words Bai Qi has said to it in the Secret Realm, it resumed its aloof demeanor again.
¡°Hmm.¡±
Zhao Futu didn¡¯t act surprised, and simply asked, ¡°May I ask, has Lord
Nichs been staying in this Secret Realm Tower all this time?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Zhao Futu continued, ¡°What brings Lord Nichs out this time?¡±
¡°Having fun¡ Ahem, I was invited by Bai Qi to visit the human world. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m wee though.¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhao Futu nced at Bai Qi and smiled, ¡°Of course, you¡¯re wee. It would be even better if Lord Nichs would settle down here.¡± Upon hearing Zhao Futu¡¯s words, Nichs couldn¡¯t help but nce at Bai Qi. ¡°What does this old man mean by settle down?¡±
¡°It means room and board are covered, you just have to agree.¡±
¡°Great!¡±
The whispers between the two didn¡¯t escape the Six Tower Masters, who were somewhat amused.
As Legendary Beast Masters, they could naturally tell that the Green Dragon was very powerful, but mentally not very developed, at best at a grade-school level.
But it was precisely because of this that they cared more about the Green Dragon.
The destruction a Legendary Giant Dragon of limited intelligence could cause was not something they wanted to see.
But conversely, if they could build good rtions with it, it would be an additional guardian deity for both the Beast Master Association and the Federation!
These days, swindling a grade-schooler was much easier than swindling a seasoned veteran.
But judging from Bai Qi and Nichs¡¯ demeanor, it seemed they had no need to make the effort just yet.
Nichs and Bai Qi murmured to each other for a while before finally responding to Zhao Futu.
¡°Ahem, after considering, I¡¯ve decided to stay here. However, I have a few demands.¡±
¡°No problem. We humans are very friendly towards our friends. But what does Lord Nichs specifically want?¡±
Nichs paused for a moment, then said, ¡°First, find me a ce to stay.¡±
Upon saying that, the green light in Nichs¡¯s eyes shed, and the Secret Realm Tower behind him shrank into a small pendant and fell into Bai Qi¡¯s hand.
¡± I will stay in the Secret Realm for a while. If I need anything, I will let Bai Qi ry it. I¡¯m heading back.¡±
After saying that, Nichs put Bai Qi down from his head and directly flew back via the Secret Realm Gate.
Back in the Secret Realm, Nichs immediately copsed on the ground and let out a heavy sigh.
Being watched by six legendary creatures, he couldn¡¯t pretend anymore.
Outside the Secret Realm, Bai Qi looked at Nichs¡¯ pitiful state while his eyes twitched involuntarily.
Apart from being unable to fight Wingless Dragons, what did this fellow¡¯s mother instill in him? He possessed the strongest power yet acted the most cowardly. He was simply disgracing the Dragon Race.
¡°Bai Qi.¡±
Seeing Nichs leave, Zhao Futu approached Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Can you tell me about your experiences over these past few days?¡±
¡°Mr. President,¡± Bai Qi immediately stood up straight and said, ¡°Actually, there isn¡¯t much. I identally fell into the Secret Realm and met Nic¡ ahem, Lord Nichs. We chatted for several days, and then he decided toe out with me for a look.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
Zhao Futu looked at Bai Qi with a smile. He naturally knew that Bai Qi was hiding some things, but he didn¡¯t mind.
Although the Federation¡¯s history isn¡¯t long, human history spans thousands of years, and there have been numerous individuals with excellent rtions with legendary creatures.
Like the Martial Emperor Zhang Youren, who had poor talent and could barely contract with a Snake Turtle. He won the favor of arge number of legendary creatures and established a new era with their help.
As long as Bai Qi could win the trust of legendary creatures and maintain friendly rtions with humans, that would be enough.
Thinking of this, Zhao Futu patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, ¡°In that case, you just need to inform Xiang Li about the needs of Lord Nichs.¡±
Xiang Li was the Master of the Holy Relic Tower, also a Legendary Beast Master. Bai Qi nodded, then asked sheepishly, ¡°Um, Mr. President, I¡¯ve brought a Legendary Giant Dragon back to our association, is there any reward?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not picky; I¡¯d be happy with just some Mythical Level Materials.¡± Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, the expressions of the tower masters turned strange. Are young people so bold these days, daring to demand benefits directly from the president? Moreover, asking for Mythical Level materials right off the bat? ¡°Hahaha¡ You¡¯re pretty good, kid. I like you a lot.¡±
Zhao Futuughed heartily upon hearing this. He then rode the Void Skate and quickly disappeared, and the others also left one after another, leaving only Xiang Li.
¡°So did he agree or not?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion. Were the words of legendary powerful people always this vague to seem cooler?
Watching Bai Qi¡¯s mutterings, Xiang Li went straight up to him, drew a short knife and made a sh in the void, creating a Space Door in front of them.
¡°Come with me.¡±
Is this a Space Artifact?
Just a sh, and a Space Door is already opened. That¡¯s practically equivalent to a Door-Door Fruit.
With envy in his eyes, Bai Qi looked at the short knife in Xiang Li¡¯s hand. If he could carry one like that, he wouldn¡¯t need to worry about being besieged by ferocious beasts in the wilderness.
Compared with unlimited slide shoveling, my Door-Door Fruit is so much better!
With full admiration, Bai Qi followed Xiang Li through the Space Door.

Chapter 135: Chapter 134:1 Want Them All!
Trantor: 549690339
After passing through the Space Door, Bai Qi found himself in a spacious circr hall.
Within the hall, folks moved to and fro, all wearing long robes. The image of arge tree emzoned on the robes clear indicators of their identities.
Members of the Sacred Relic Tower.
¡°Yi Xiaowei,e here.¡±
Xiang Li spoken into a badge pinned at his cor, a young man suddenly appeared before them. It was Yi Xiaowei, the young man who had previously brought Bai Qi materials.
Yi Xiaowei walked up to Xiang Li and asked, ¡°Tower Master, how can I assist you?¡±
Xiang Li briefly informed Yi Xiaowei of the current situation, then turned towards Bai Qi, ¡°You can turn to Yi Xiaowei for anything you require. As for the Mythical Level material that you and the Chairman have been looking for¡¡±
Xiang Li paused for a moment, then handed a token engraved with the symbol of the Six Towers to Yi Xiaowei, saying, ¡°You can take him to pick something from Area A.¡±
Damn, that was easy. A Mythical Level material! It¡¯s really happening!
While Bai Qi beamed with joy, Xiang Li did not seem interested in further small talk. He simply opened another Space Door and disappeared on the spot.
Yi Xiaowei said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see you again so soon. Did the materials I deliveredst time work out okay?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Of course, they were fine. I¡¯ll probably need to buy more in the future.¡±
He had bought a variety of materials previously to test the limits of Gamma¡¯s endurance.
Even though Gamma had withstood everything, it had not developed any resistance, possibly because there were too few materials.
Now that Gamma had formed a pact, it was undoubtedly worth further cultivating.
¡°Alright, just contact me directly next time you need something. I¡¯ll make sure to give you an insider¡¯s price.¡±
Yi Xiaowei nodded and proceeded to exchange contact information with Bai Qi.
¡°Let¡¯s go and pick up your Mythical Level item.¡±
As Yi Xiaowei led Bai Qi towards Area A, he asked, ¡°By the way, I heard from the Tower Master that you managed to coax a Legendary Giant Dragon out of the secret realm?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t ¡®coax¡¯ anything out, I ¡®persuaded¡¯ it.¡±
Bai Qi promptly corrected Yi Xiaowei¡¯s phrasing.
¡°So, it¡¯s true then? There are treasures all over that Legendary Giant Dragon. Any part you cut off would be at least an Epic material.¡±
A bright light shone in Yi Xiaowei¡¯s eyes, and he unconsciously made a cutting motion with his hands.
This guy, he¡¯s terrifying!
From the look in Yi Xiaowei¡¯s eyes, Bai Qi was convinced that he wasn¡¯t joking. If he were to evere face-to-face with a giant dragon, he¡¯d undoubtedly try to cut a couple of pieces off without hesitation.
No way. He couldn¡¯t let the timid dragon Nichs meet Yi Xiaowei. If he did, Nichs would most likely seal off the secret realm and refuse to leave.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
Soon, Yi Xiaowei led Bai Qi to arge metal door. After cing Xiang Li¡¯s token onto the door, runes lighted up on the door, which slowly opened.
This door was indeed a treasure.
Expected of the Sacred Relic Tower which managed all the assets from the Federation. It was truly extravagant!
Under Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, the metal door finally fully opened to reveal arge-scaleputer loaded with technological advancements.
The Germination 5.1 model.
One of the best AIs currently in the Federation.
The space behind theputer was filled with a modern logistic line.
Although it seemedmonce, it stood out in stark contrast amongst the treasures of the Sacred Relic Tower.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s confusion, Yi Xiaowei smiled and exined, ¡°While the Sacred Relic Tower is always handling various materials and treasures, that doesn¡¯t mean we don¡¯t incorporate technology. After all,puters are much faster than quill pens.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, followed Yi Xiaowei through the door, and watched him work on theputer. Shortly, four images appeared on the screen.
¡°These are the Mythical Level materials stored in Area A. The Tower Master didn¡¯t specify an attribute, so I pulled up everything avable.¡±
¡°Thank you!¡±
Bai Qi immediately leaned into the screen, carefully inspecting the descriptions under each image.
[Name]: Light Spirit Holy Diamond
[Level]: Mythical
[Description]: Mythical grade light attribute material, a diamond formed by being immersed in light attribute energy for years. It possesses extreme hardness and potent light attribute.
This light attribute material is quite rare. If used on a beast, it might acquire healing abilities simr to Old Qin¡¯s Light Elf.
The first material made Bai Qi¡¯s eyes sparkle in excitement. He almost instantly chose it, but when he saw the descriptions for the other images, he resisted the impulse and continued examining the rest.
[Name]: Hurricane Feathers
[Level]: Mythical
[Description]: Mythical grade wind attribute material. The feathers of a mythical wind creature. It can imbue a beast with the power of a hurricane, allowing it to move freely within the storm.
Controlling hurricane-like powers wasn¡¯t too bad, but it would be more suitable for flying beasts. If his third contract hadn¡¯t been a slime, he might have chosen this, but it¡¯s not an immediate necessity so he¡¯ll pass.
[Name]: Twin Star Core
[Level]: Mythical
[Description]: A water and fire dual attribute material that can harmonize the twopletely different types of energy.
Dual attribute materials, able to coordinate two disparate energies, was it okay to take out such a perverse material?
What to do, suddenly didn¡¯t want to look anymore!
Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to look away from the Etherium Liquid Gold and continue checking thest material.
[Name]: Etherium Liquid Gold
[Level]: Mythical Level
[Description]: Mythical Level metal ss material, able to freely transition between solid and liquid states, has high malleability, and amplifies various energies and spirit power to a certain extent.
Solid, liquid dual-phase metal? This was just the kind of material that mechanics dreamed of.
If designed correctly, the mechanical life created with this kind of metal could freely change its attack form, and itsprehensive performance would be much better.
Looking at the four materials on the screen, Bai Qi¡¯s mood suddenly became somewhatplicated.
What if he wanted all of it¡
Bai Qi¡¯s bemused expression naturally caught Yi Xiaowei¡¯s eye, prompting her to giggle and Bai Qi to regain hisposure.
¡°Sorry, you¡¯ve got me all confused.¡±
Yi Xiaowei shook her head, saying, ¡°It¡¯s okay, everyone whoes to the Holy Relic Tower to pick resources has that look. You¡¯re actually one of the better ones.¡±
¡°But if I may offer you a piece of advice, it¡¯s still better to choose the materials that you can currently use. After all, the mythical level materials are hard to find, and the usage recipes are even rarer. If you take one that you can¡¯t use at the moment, it¡¯s actually a waste.¡±
¡°Thanks, I¡¯ll consider it carefully.¡±
Bai Qi nodded gratefully, but his inner conflict remained.
Others needed a recipe, but he didn¡¯t!
As long as the materials were in ce, a full-attribute pet beast could be created for you.
Too bad, he could only choose one right now. Yi Xiaowei¡¯s advice was still useful.
Bai Qi exhaled deeply to calm himself down.
The Hurricane Feathers were wind attribute materials, he wasn¡¯t going to contract any pets in the short term, so this was the first to be ruled out,
Although the dual attributes and coordination abilities of the Twin Star Core are quite attractive, it could be used on either Alpha or Husky. But the attributes these two pets have don¡¯t conflict, so the power of coordination would be wasted for the time being.
As for the remaining Etherium Liquid Gold and Light Spirit Holy Diamond, the Etherium Liquid Gold could significantly enhance Husky¡¯s mechanical capabilities, and it could also amplify various energies, including spirit power. This was like a tailor-made material.
As for the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, Bai Qi was quite sure that he could at least get a super light attribute skill, but it wasn¡¯t guaranteed to be a healing type skill.
Geez, he wanted all of them¡
After thinking for a long time, Bai Qi finally made a decision.
¡°I choose the Etherium Liquid Gold.¡±
As the second pet, Husky¡¯s immediatebat ability was a bit weak, and he had been looking for suitable metals recently, so Etherium Liquid Gold was indeed the best choice.
As for the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, even though he was tempted, unless he could exchange it with the Twin Star Core, he wouldn¡¯t dare to use it on Alpha.
The Slime creature could use it, but the slime¡¯s bloodline level was still too low, Bai Qi was worried that it would be burst directly, so he could do nothing but give up.
Moreover, he already had other ns for the slime.
¡°Are you sure?¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Yi Xiaowei worked on theputer for a while, and a crystal bottle containing silver-gray metal was conveyed over.
¡°Is that all?¡±
Bai Qi picked up the bottle, about the size of a thermos, and was somewhat disappointed.
¡°You really shouldn¡¯t beining about the amount. I¡¯ve seen the research records of this metal, it¡¯s very expandable. Provided the energy is sufficient, it could even wrap up the entire headquarters.¡±
Yi Xiaowei patiently exined to Bai Qi, and he calmed down.
If it was as Yi Xiaowei had described, his previous design would have to bepletely overturned.
Yi Xiaowei led Bai Qi out of Area A, saying, ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve selected your mythical level material, next is the business of that Legendary Giant Dragon.¡±
¡°Almost forgot.¡±
Bai Qi pped his own head. The timid Nichs was waiting for his 1000-inch TV and game console. If he wentte and the creature changed its mind, all his effort would have been wasted.
¡°Help me order a 1000-inch big screen TV, make sure it¡¯s the highest resolution, and a game console, remote control, headphones suitable for a giant dragon¡¯s physique¡¡±
Bai Qi chattered away a bunch of things, but was promptly interrupted by Yi Xiaowei.
¡°Are you sure these are what the giant dragon wants, not what you want?¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, saying: ¡°Why would I want a thousand-inch TV, to sleep with?¡±
Yi Xiaoweiughed bitterly, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to give it to you. It¡¯s just that these things are in the realm of mechanical engineering, and I don¡¯t have them.¡±
At her words, Bai Qi was startled. There weren¡¯t many mechanical creations in Songlin City to begin with, and the Holy Relic Tower focused mainly on studying relics, so his request seemed to be a bit over the top.
It seemed that he would have to pay for it from his own pocket.
Only, he was a bit strapped¡
¡°Yi Xiaowei, do you guys take eggs here?¡±
Chapter 136 - 135: Deadly Poison Aura
Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Deadly Poison Aura
Trantor: 549690339
After handing over all the snake eggs to Yi Xiaowei, Bai Qi¡¯s previously deted wallet once again became full, and he boldly ordered a batch of materials for Gamma¡¯s meal.
Bai Qi confirmed the order and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave Nichs¡¯ TV and game console to you. I¡¯ll go and find him arge projector in the meantime.¡±
The television was fine, but giant game consoles needed to be customized, and could only be delivered from other ces.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, as soon as it arrives, I¡¯ll deliver it to you right away.¡±
Yi Xiaowei nodded, then began to find people to deal with the pile of snake eggs that filled the entire hall.
Although the Holy Relic Tower was primarily responsible for managing relics and materials, unhatched snake eggs were still considered materials, and they would naturally collect them without error.
After leaving the Holy Relic Tower, Bai Qi looked at the towering building behind him and the other five majestic high towers around him, and for the first time, he really recognized the depth of the Beast Master Association.
Six tower masters, six legends, six legendary creatures, and these six towers. Just these resources alone were already shocking enough, not to mention Bai Heguang and other legends and masters who also belonged to the Association. Such a deep foundation, no wonder the saying about an organization as solid as iron, and the times as fluid as water, was circted in the outside world.
¡°But that¡¯s good, the thicker the leg you hug, the better!¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and then directly entered the Secret Space, where he carefully took out the bottle of Etherium Liquid Gold and summoned the Husky.
Woof woof?
(What is this? I¡¯ve never smelled this before.)
Beta, the first to notice the abnormality of Etherium Liquid Gold, sniffed at it and was about to taste it.
¡°Don¡¯t move you stupid dog!¡±
Bai Qi, aware of the situation, gave Beta a heavy punch and ryed the information about Etherium Liquid Gold to Schuck.
¡°A metal substance capable of amplifying various types of energy, solid and liquid, it¡¯s indeed a great material!¡±
Schuck also showed considerable interest in Etherium Liquid Gold. Rare emotional fluctuations were noted in his mechanical voice.
¡°But it means we¡¯ll have to start our previous ns all over again.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°You draft a prototype first, then we¡¯ll study it togetherter.¡±
Schuck nodded, grabbed the Etherium metal, and returned to his workshop.
Though the general properties of the Etherium metal had been specified by the Holy Relic Tower, as a meticulous mechanical dog, Schuck still needed to conduct a series of tests back at his workshop.
¡°First, go buy a projector for Nichs, then upgrade Gamma.¡±
After settling the materials he just purchased, Bai Qi left the Secret Space again. Buzz buzz buzz¡
The moment he left the Secret Space, Bai Qi¡¯s phone started to vibrate intensively.
¡°President?¡±
Bai Qi immediately answered the phone, hearing a delightfulughter from the other end.
¡°I knew those old fellows would be scared to death by Bai Qi! Sending him to the training was indeed the right move!¡±
As it turned out, Old Qin had this idea when he sent him here, but it felt good. ¡°Ahem, President, do you need me for something?¡±
However, Bai Qi did not have the habit of eavesdropping, gently clearing his throat to attract President Qin¡¯s attention.
¡°You finally picked up.¡±
Upon seeing the phone being answered, President Qin¡¯s tone shifted dramatically. He showed no appreciation or joy as before and startedining.
¡°You insolent youngster, I was so worried about you, and you¡¯re just now answering the phone?¡±
¡°Also, I heard you made a fuss during training?¡±
President Qin babbled on for quite a while before he finally stopped, by which time Bai Qi was almost asleep.
Needless to say, he didn¡¯t listen to a word of what President Qin had said.
¡°President, you didn¡¯t call toin about me, did you?¡±
President Qin paused, took a sip of tea to soothe his throat, and said, ¡°Of course not.¡±
¡°I heard you pulled a Legendary Giant Dragon out of the hat?¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°It¡¯s not so much tricking, just that my personality and charm attracted it.¡±
¡°Can you have a little shame?¡±
President Qin spat out in disgust and said, ¡°But after all, it¡¯s a legendary creature. Be careful when you deal with it. Otherwise, your little frame isn¡¯t enough for it to swallow.¡±
¡°Yes, yes, I assure you, leader.¡±
Listening to President Qin¡¯s droning, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel warmed.
He was not worried about the vegetarian dragon eating him, but he still epted Old Qin¡¯s concern.
¡°And also, I heard that you¡¯ve advanced to the third stage?¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°Yes, I advanced yesterday.¡±
¡°You cheekyd, just as well. I was worried your level was too low to keep up with them. With this rate of leveling up, you¡¯re even faster than Bai Qiucha!¡±
¡°Keep it up, maybe you could overtake others in the curve and be the youngest fifth stage Beast Master in the Federation.¡±
A twitch started at the corner of Bai Qi¡¯s eye, he said, ¡°Hehe¡ you really think highly of me.¡±
¡°Well, there¡¯s no rush.¡±
President Qin chuckled and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re at the headquarters now, I¡¯ve introduced you to Heguang. He¡¯ll help you pick out a suitable pet.¡±
¡°You are the first to receive the benefits thiste in your special training.¡±
Hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous.
¡°Well, I¡¯ve already made a contract.¡±
The phone on the other end fell into a brief silence. It took a while before President Qin spoke again.
¡°Could you say that again?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve made a contract again¡¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s voice grew quieter and quieter, then instinctively covered his ears.
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°A slime monster¡¡±
¡°Bai Qi!¡±
A deafening roar came from the other end of the call, startling Bai Qi almost to the point of throwing his phone. He hesitated for a moment before picking it back up.
¡°Mr. Chairman, calm down and let me exin.¡±
¡°Hmph! Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve contracted another mutant species?¡±
¡°Mm.¡±
Another long stretch of silence. It took President Qin a while to react.
¡°Bai Qi, are you sure your talent is Breaking the Void and not evolutionary mutation?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s heart thudded nervously. He replied, ¡°Mr. Chairman, aren¡¯t you already certain of my talent through your tests?¡±
When he received his license, the Beast Master Association had checked Bai Qi¡¯s talent again, but they hadn¡¯t found anything.
ording to President Qin, this was the normal manifestation of the Breaking the Void talent, and the existence of the Evolution Egg was thus kept concealed.
But this Old Qin¡¯s intuition was too urate. He almost guessed the function of the Evolution Egg.
¡°I suppose so. But your luck really is too good.¡±
President Qin sighed and then said seriously, ¡°Since you¡¯ve contracted it, I won¡¯t say anything more. But, if you are this impulsive again next time¡¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, never again!¡±
Bai Qi quickly promised. He felt that his encounter with three different mutant species was already unbelievably lucky. If there were more, he worried he might die young.
Being too handsome can invite jealousy from the heavens¡
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s reassurance, President Qin rxed a bit. ¡°Now that you are at the third stage, it¡¯s a good time to consolidate your foundation at our headquarters.¡±
¡°With the talent you¡¯ve shown, the Six Tower Federation will definitely invite you to join them. When that timees, don¡¯t be too polite to these old guys, feel free to name your price!¡±
Bai Qi paused at this. ¡°Mr. Chairman, aren¡¯t you afraid that I might note back?¡±
President Qin rolled his eyes. ¡°Just because you join the Six Tower Federation, doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re no longer part of the association. What are you thinking?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said no more. President Qin, evidently having other guests to entertain, reminded him of a few things and then hung up.
¡°Joining the Six Tower Federation, huh? That sounds quite good.¡±
Bai Qi looked over his shoulder at the six towers behind him, gave a small smile, and then headed straight for the city.
The Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Bai Qi manually taught Nichs how to activate the projection and change the battery. Then, he started preparing to strengthen the slime monster.
He didn¡¯t hide when he used the Evolution Egg before Nichs, so this time, he decided to use it in the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Ka-Pu Ka-Pu.
(Why are we here again?)
¡°Without any surprises, we¡¯ll being here often.¡±
Nichs hadpletely masters the control of this secret realm, thus, he received the rights to ess it in and out. It would be a waste not to utilize such arge secret realm.
And, when the husky and Gamma evolved into a Lord or higher, Nichs might very welle in handy.
He had distinctly felt the immense lifeforce contained within Nichs¡¯s Jade Breath.
¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±
Bai Qi took out the tumor from the python and ced it in front of the slime monster, signaling it not to eat it directly. Then, he activated the Evolution Egg.
¡°It¡¯s a material that sits between epic and legendary. I wonder what ability it will grant the slime monster.¡±
Bai Qi sat down, took a bite of the Dragon¡¯s Blood Grass, and started to meditate.
Four hours quickly passed. The moment the Silver Egg shell cracked open, Bai Qi opened his eyes.
Before the Silver Eggpletely cracked open, a green liquid ooze out from the shell and quickly covered the entire shell. It swallowed it down in one gulp.
Ka-Pu Ka-Pu.
(So yummy-)
After digesting the shell of the Silver Egg, the slime monster transmitted a feeling of immense satisfaction to Bai Qi. It hopped into Bai Qi¡¯sp and fell asleep.
Indeed, living up to its reputation as a glutton ¨C eating then sleeping.
Bai Qi patted the slime monster¡¯s squishy body and began checking its status.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: First Stage Second Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption (Perfect), Mimicry (Perfect), Corrosion (Proficient), Toxin Resistance (Proficient), zing Resistance (Proficient), Radiation Resistance (Proficient), Current Resistance (Proficient), Frozen resistance (Beginner), me resistance (Beginner), Deadly Poison Aura (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 11000
[Condition]: Evolvable
As Bai Qi predicted, after absorbing the tumor, the slime monster underwent racial evolution and gained an additional skill, which was indeed a toxin- rted skill.
However, it wasn¡¯t the poison cloud that Bai Qi had anticipated.
[Skill Name]: Deadly poison aura
[Skill Level]: High level
[Skill Effect]: Toxin skill. After release, it will cause toxin damage to all organisms in the covered area of the aura.
The aura-type skill surprisingly suited Gamma¡
Chapter 137 - 136: Tower of Competition
Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Tower of Competition
Trantor: 549690339
As everyone knows, once a pet beast entered the Legendary Realm, it was eligible to master domain skills.
Within the scope of the domain, the pet beast could transform the surrounding environment into one most suited for its ownbat ording to its will.
However, not everyone could master domain skills as they required high levels of aptitude and skills from the pet beast.
Among all the skills, aura skills were the closest to domain skills.
¡°And it¡¯s a Deadly Poison Aura, truly custom-made for this glutton.¡±
Bai Qi gave a pat to Gamma in his arms, unable to conceal the smile on his face.
¡°If we max out the resistance and then get a Thorns Aura, wouldn¡¯t we just lie down and let others beat us?¡±
Bai Qi wiped the saliva off the corner of his mouth and turned to Nichs who was engrossed in watching TV, ¡°Nichs, can you help out when free?¡± Nichs didn¡¯t turn his head and directly drew a ¡®Do not disturb¡¯ sign in front of Bai Qi using Jade Power.
Seeing Nichs¡¯s behaviour, Bai Qi pretended to be disappointed and said, ¡°Oh no, I suddenly remember a very popr show recently, seems like I¡¯ll have to go watch it myself¡¡±
Before he finished his sentence, Nichs instantly appeared in front of Bai Qi, eagerly asking, ¡°What show, what show? I want to watch!¡±
¡°Ahem, it¡¯s still updating, you¡¯ll have to go out to watch.¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°Perfect timing, you can help me end test Gamma¡¯s new skill.¡±
¡°Newskill?¡±
Nichs seemed uninterested but, to watch the new show mentioned by Bai Qi, he had to obey.
¡°Gamma, use Deadly Poison Aura!¡±
Bai Qi tossed Gamma into Nichs¡¯s hands, awakening it directly through the bond.
Cluck Cluck?
(Time to eat?)
Gamma was a bit groggy and his first thought upon waking up was to eat. He then received Bai Qi¡¯smand and regardless of his surroundings, released his Deadly Poison Aura.
In an instant, a clearly visible green aura radiated from Gamma and spread around. Bai Qi immediately retreated until he was ten meters away and the aura finally stopped.
¡°The effective range is only ten meters? That¡¯s a bit small.¡±
Bai Qi roughly estimated the range and was a bit disappointed. This distance and this obvious aura, the most it could do was fight against some simple- minded opponents. Against someone with slightly longer range of attack, it would be useless.
But Gamma was just a low-level Elite, First Stage Second Level, so there was much room for growth.
Just wondered about the effect.
¡°Nichs, do you feel anything?¡±
Nichs paused for a moment and said, ¡°Mmm¡ the parts of me covered by it felt invaded by toxin, but the toxicity is weak, and it could only stay on my scales.¡±
¡°Do you need me to lower my defenses?¡±
¡°No need.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi twitched his eyebrows and immediately declined.
He had been stupid this time, thinking of letting a Legendary Green Dragon experience the Deadly Poison Aura. Even if Nichs lowered his defenses, Gamma probably couldn¡¯t hurt him.
¡°Let¡¯s try it during training.¡±
Bai Qi sighed and recalled Gamma back to the Beast Control Space and walked out of the Green Dragon¡¯s Secret Realm.
¡°It¡¯s already noon time, no wonder I am hungry.¡±
Looking at the Songyue Building that was bustling with customers despite the existence of the Green Dragon¡¯s Secret Realm, Bai Qi¡¯s appetite suddenly soared.
He had been eating grass for these past few days, now smelling the delicious scents from Songyue Building, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t resist feeling hungry.
¡°Let¡¯s eat first, then go for training.¡±
Burp¡
With a satisfied face, Bai Qi let out a full burp and strolled slowly towards the dormitory.
¡°No wonder Sister Zhou highly rmends it, the food in Songyue Building is indeed remarkable. It¡¯s a pity that the cooking methods can¡¯t be disclosed, otherwise, I could cook for myself when out in the wild.¡±
Just as Bai Qi was about to enter the dormitory, he saw Bai Qiucha and Gu Shaning from the direction of the assembly hall.
¡°Cha, Gu Shan, have you finished your training this morning?¡±
¡°Bai Qi, what are you doing here?¡±
Bai Qiucha appeared puzzled, saying, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be apanying that Legendary Giant Dragon now?¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Nichs¡ ahem, Lord Nichs isn¡¯t demanding, so I came back.¡±
¡°Were you just finished training?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head, unconsciously ncing at the three Rune Marks on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s left hand and said, ¡°Because of the Green Dragon¡¯s Secret Realm, Brother Luo assigned us some open-ended tasks, so there¡¯s no specific training.¡±
¡°However, we just finished a fight with Sister Zhou and we¡¯re going to rest a bit before we continue in the afternoon.¡±
Bai Qi looked at them somewhat astonished, was this the same boy who would change color at the mention of Zhou Yan? he had actually taken the initiative to fight Zhou Yan?
What on earth happened during these few days when he was not around?!
Seeing the puzzled look on Bai Qi¡¯s face, Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan looked at each other and sighed quietly.
He really had no idea how much pressure he had put them under¡
¡°But it¡¯s perfect timing, I¡¯ll join you guys this afternoon, take me along.¡±
Bai Qi was worrying about where to test the effect of Gamma¡¯s Deadly Poison Aura, now with Bai Qiucha and others as free sparring partners, it was a no brainer not to take advantage.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha hesitated and asked, ¡°You just came out from the Secret Realm, don¡¯t you need rest?¡±
The secret realm where the legendary giant dragon lived was undoubtedly far more dangerous than ordinary realms, and Bai Qi must have expended quite a lot to have survived there for so long.
¡°No need, I¡¯ve practically grown moldy in there, so this is a good chance to move around.¡±
These past few days were mostly spent in the dragon¡¯s cave, either eating grass or sleeping, so he was indeed getting bored.
Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan looked at each other, uncertain of what to make of Bai Qi anymore.
¡°Well, we¡¯ll rest for a bit then, and set off in an hour.¡±
Tower of Competition.
Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Bai Qi was slightly surprised.
¡°The Tower of Competition is the only one in the Six Towers open to all members of the Association, so there are far more people here than in the other towers.¡±
Bai Qiucha looked around and quickly spotted Zhou Yan, who had been waiting there for a while. She led Bai Qi and Gu Shan over to her.
¡°Sister Zhou.¡±
Zhou Yan turned and likewise seemed a bit surprised when she saw Bai Qi. ¡°Bai Qi, don¡¯t you need to rest?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged. ¡°No need.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t realize that you have such a strong constitution, Bai Qi. I thought you¡¯d be sleeping for days aftering out of the secret realm.¡±
Corners of Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched. Where had they gotten the impression that he was weak?
¡°But it¡¯s just as well, there¡¯s someone who wants to practice with you.¡±
A teasing smile danced on Zhou Yan¡¯s face as she waved to someone behind Bai Qi.
Turning around, Bai Qi saw Xiao Yuan and Li Mu heading their way.
Xiao Yuan also looked somewhat taken aback upon seeing Bai Qi, then he smiled and said, ¡°Bai Qi, congrattions on bing a Third Stage beast master.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
Bai Qi nodded but said nothing further.
He had only met Xiao Yuan twice and generally had a good impression of him. But having an inherent dislike for shifty eyes, he had no intention to be friends.
It seemed Xiao Yuan didn¡¯t register Bai Qi¡¯s intentional evasion. ¡°Bai Qi, this is your first time at the Tower of Competition, right?¡±
¡°Yes, since I don¡¯t have much to do, I thought I¡¯d practice battling with Bai Qiucha and the rest.¡±
¡°Perfect, we two are also idling around, so we decided toe for some practice.¡±
Xiao Yuan then smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve never got a chance to battle with you. Now that we met, would you like to spar?¡±
This suggestion from Xiao Yuan took Li Mu, who was eager to fight, by surprise.
¡°Xiao Yuan, he is my opponent. Why¡¡±
Xiao Yuan shrugged. ¡°Didn¡¯t you n to defeat Bai Qi in runes? Giving up halfway isn¡¯t your style.¡±
Unable to retort and remembering his performance in the Green Dragon Secret Realm, Li Mu fell silent.
Yes, as long as he hadn¡¯t surpassed Bai Qi in runes, even if he won a fight, what difference would it make?
After convincing Li Mu, Xiao Yuan turned to Bai Qi again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there is a bnce mechanism inside the Tower of Competition which suppresses both parties to the same level, preventing overpowering.¡±
¡°How about it? Will you consider my offer?¡±
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, observing Xiao Yuan¡¯s determination to spar, and finally agreed.
He wasn¡¯t clear why Xiao Yuan was so interested in him, but it didn¡¯t matter who he fought with. This would also give him a chance to gauge the abilities of the other top fighters.
¡°Bai Qi, do you have any food with you?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi ept the challenge, Zhou Yan shot him a look of sympathy.
¡°Yes, why?¡±
Zhou Yan patted his shoulder, ¡°Good, otherwise I¡¯d worry you¡¯d miss dinner.¡±
With that, she didn¡¯t further exin and led Bai Qiucha and the others directly to the viewing gallery.
¡°With that suspect smirk, could there be a trick?¡±
Bai Qi cast a suspicious look at Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan maintained an innocuous smile, showing no signs of deceit.
Well, let¡¯s just cross that bridge when wee to it.
Under Xiao Yuan¡¯s guidance, Bai Qi registered at the front gate and arrived in front of a battle room.
A female receptionist took them to a huge bnce, ¡°Could you both please summon the beasts participating in the fight? We will adjust the bnce proportion based on theirbined conditions.¡±
Such a rule, how amodating!
Bai Qi looked at Xiao Yuan, who was obviously waiting for him to summon first. He nodded and summoned Gamma.
Chomp, chomp¡
(It¡¯s so tasty¡)
Bai Qi was slightly helpless as he watched Gamma continue eating even while sleeping.
After all said and done, Alpha was the most reliable. He didn¡¯t need food or sleep, and rarely spoke. The perfect low-maintenancepanion.
¡°A slime creature? That¡¯s your third beast?¡±
Xiao Yuan nced at the third rune on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s hand, looking thoughtful but never underestimating. Instead, he seemed more focused.
How could someone, who trained the most ordinary skeleton soldier and an Arctic Ice Wolf so powerfully, choose a simple slime creature? There must be something unusual!

Trantor: 549690339
Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve chosen your newly contracted pet, I¡¯ll pick my fourth pet beast.¡±
The blue array flickered, and apletely pitch-ck creature appeared on one side of the bnce.
This pet beast waspletely covered in sharply defined armor, its limbs were robust and powerful, and its mouth was full of tusks, giving off a ferocious aura just by standing there.
[Name]: Ink Dragon Louse
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Pet Beast Growth Level]: Third Stage three level
[Introduction]: It has both the powerful vitality of insect-like creatures and the offensive power of beast-like creatures. Despite itsbative nature, it is not impulsive. It¡¯s rumored to have a trace of the dragon bloodline, making it the first choice for many Insect System Beast Masters.
Good gracious, even his fourth pet beast is already at the third stage. Xiao Yuan¡¯s strength is indeed formidable.
Under the guidance of the female receptionist, Bai Qi ced Gamma on the other side of the bnce. The pointer in the middle of the bnce began swaying from left to right before leaning towards the side of the Ink Dragon Louse.
The gap between a low-level elite and a low-level lord, a first-stage second level and a third-stage three level, was indeed huge.
However, soon a ck and a gold piece, each fell onto the two ends of the bnce, gradually evening out what initially was uneven.
¡°Alright, the growth levels of both your pet beasts have been bnced at second stager level 5, and the bloodline levels have been bnced at high-grade elites. Now, you can pick the type of battlefield.¡±
The receptionist said with a smile, ¡°Do you two have any preferred battlegrounds? If not, you can choose a random one.¡±
Xiao Yuan nced at Bai Qi¡¯s puzzled face, gave a slight smile, and said, ¡°Since this is your first time here, Bai Qi, let¡¯s choose a random battlefield.¡±
¡°Alright, I don¡¯t mind.¡±
Bai Qi was as calm as water, not caring about Xiao Yuan¡¯s arrangements at all. This attitude only made Xiao Yuan respect him more.
A person who could form a friendly rtionship with a mythical creature, he remained calm even when faced with unfamiliar circumstances.
¡°Alright, then a random battlefield it is. Please expedite.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
The receptionist nodded and moved quickly. Bai Qi, however, stood there dazed, lost in his own thoughts.
Probably because of Xiao Ding, their battle setting was arranged quickly. The crowd had already flocked in front of the broadcast screen in the hall.
One was the Moon Night Tower Chief¡¯s grandson, the other, a rising star who was gaining poprity recently. Therefore, their battle naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Bai Qiucha gazed at the two profiles on the screen and asked, ¡°Yan, do you think Bai Qi can win against Xiao Yuan?¡±
Zhou Yan shrugged and replied, ¡°I¡¯m not sure. If Xiao Yuan were fighting someone else, I¡¯d definitely back him. But since his opponent is Bai Qi, it¡¯s somehow hard to predict.¡±
Quietly, Bai Qiucha remained silent while Gu Shan on her side continuously nodded.
Although hisbat experience was not as much as Zhou Yan¡¯s, he could firmly say that Bai Qi was the most unpredictable Beast Master he knew.
In his experience, he had never seen a Beast Master who could y with his pet beast¡¯s abilities so borately.
¡°Hmm, it has started.¡±
While they were talking, the scene on the screen changed, zooming in on Bai Qi and Xiao Yuan¡¯s battlefield.
¡°Is that¡ a volcano battlefield?¡±
Looking at the slowly flowing magma on the screen, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
¡°Such bad luck for Bai Qi. This battlefield severely limits Slime¡¯s abilities. Even without the Ink Dragon Louse¡¯s attack, Slime will probably get damaged by the surrounding heat,¡±mented Bai Qiucha.
She continued, ¡°Then again, the Ink Dragon Louse belongs to the Insect System, and a fire attributendscape won¡¯t be easy on it either.¡±
¡°However, if I recall correctly, Xiao Yuan¡¯s Ink Dragon Louse has the ability of limb regeneration.¡±
¡°This battle, will be testing who can withstand the longest.¡±
With that said, a hint of regret shed over Bai Qiucha¡¯s face.
To say who was better at fighting a protracted battle amongst the younger generation of the headquarters, probably no one could surpass Xiao Yuan. After all, he was the only one capable of reaching a draw with Zhou Yan.
Volcano Battlefield.
Bai Qi wiped off the sweat from his face and looked at the lifelike battlefield in front of him¡
Wait, this was literally a volcano!
After forcibly bncing the strength of the two fighters, followed by this real- life battlefield, Bai Qi felt like he was Liu Lao when she went into the Grand View Garden,pletely perplexed.
City folks sure know how to be fanciful.
¡°It seems like both of us are not so lucky, ending up with this kind of battlefield,¡± Xiao Yuan surveyed the surroundings and looking at the Ink Dragon Louse, unaffected by the high temperatures and then to Slime which lied t on the ground, he offered, ¡°Or, shall we change to a more standard battlefield?¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand, ¡°No need, let¡¯s just proceed as usual.¡±
Due to his previous feeding shenanigans, Gamma had acquired me resistance. However, at only beginner proficiency, it almost melted as soon as it entered the volcanic area.
Luckily, Gamma had, due to the bnce, forcibly increased both its bloodline level and growth level hence it did not suffer a critical blow. On the contrary, its proficiency was rapidly increasing at a pace visible to the naked eye.
Another good method to improve proficiency was discovered¡
¡°That¡¯s the case, thenl won¡¯t show any courtesy,¡± Xiao Yuan smiled and said, ¡°InkDragon Louse, use Ripping w!¡±
Sizzle¡
The Ink Dragon Louse growled lowly, instantly transforming into a bolt of ck lightning, appearing in front of Slime. As its ws swiped, it aimed to tear Slime into pieces.
The most famous attribute of the Slime, as a member of the Alien Series, is its fluid body. Because of this, a slime can swallow anything. However, correspondingly, its physical defense is extremely weak.
It seemed like the Slime wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge the Ink-Dragon Lice¡¯s attack in time.
¡°Is it over just like that?¡±
Looking at how Gamma was stretched to the limit in the ws of the Ink- Dragon Lice, the audience outside seemed somewhat disappointed.
Initially, they held some unexinable expectations for Bai Qi¡¯s Slime, hoping to see some surprising performance. It seemed that they had been overthinking it.
¡°Uh, why hasn¡¯t this Slime split yet?¡±
Just as some viewers were about to switch settings, someone suddenly noticed something.
At that moment, Gamma was being stretched freely in the ws of the Ink- Dragon Lice, but it hadn¡¯t shown any signs of breaking. Unaware people might have even thought the Ink-Dragon Lice was ying with a rubber band.
Toughness. It was an ability the Slime enhanced after absorbing the skin of an Earthshaking Bull Demon. Even though it hadn¡¯t formed into a skill, it surely had improved a lot.
At the very least, it wouldn¡¯ t be torn apart easily by any ordinary skill.
¡°I knew it, this Slime isn¡¯t ordinary!¡±
Contrary to the surprise of the audience, Xiao Yuan wasn¡¯t at all shocked by the Slime¡¯s performance and considered it quite natural.
¡°Ink-Dragon Lice, Shadow Thorn Stab!¡±
Upon hearing the order, the Ink-Dragon Lice curled up immediately. A stream of pitch-ck liquid flowed from its armor and quickly spread to the Slime¡¯s surroundings, enveloping it.
Soon after, in a ce invisible to the crowd, a series of spikes made of shadow energy pierced Gamma¡¯s body instantly and split the Slime under the drag of the Ink-Dragon Lice, like a sharp de.
The toughness hadn¡¯t formed into a skill yet. Even if it had, it would be quite difficult to withstand the Shadow Department Power.
¡°Hmm¡I forgot to train Gamma¡¯s Shadow Resistance. In the future, I need to raise a few more Elemental Skeletons to practice with it.¡±
Looking at the dismembered Gamma, Bai Qi smacked his lips without any worry about Gamma¡¯s condition.
Only tens of fragments. Even Beta was better than that. It wasn¡¯t good enough.
¡°Has Bai Qi gone mad? His pet beast is being torn apart and he¡¯s so calm.¡±
¡°I remember Slimes can reorganize themselves after being torn apart. Maybe Bai Qi thinks the same?¡±
¡°But, have you ever seen a creature survive after being corroded by Shadow Department Power?¡±
¡°Uh, no, I haven¡¯t.¡±
Seeing the chunks of green jelly being corroded by the Shadow Department Power, again the viewers were disheartened.
On the one hand, there was the corrosion of the Shadow Department Power. On the other, there was the burning of volcanic magma. If the Slime could withstand that, it would be a big surprise.
Just moments ago, they thought Bai Qi was going to show something new and amazing, but this was the result.
¡°Um, it seems like something has changed again.¡±
That familiar voice echoed once more with the students turning their gaze to the screen again. Upon seeing the slowly gathering Slime, they were stunned.
It could even resist the Shadow Department Power?
Gulp Gulp?
(Master, what is this? Why does it taste so bitter?)
After being ¡°dismembered¡± by the Shadow Thorn Stab, Gamma finally woke up slowly. It controlled its body to gather rapidly while steadily digesting the Shadow Department Power inside of it.
¡°Do not worry, eat it if you can. Kids should not be picky eaters!¡±
Gulp Gulp!
(Alright, Master.)
Gamma shook its body a bit. The Shadow Department Power inside its body was swallowed at a speed visible to the naked eye and its body became green again.
Seeing this performance of Gamma¡¯s, Xiao Yuan felt no more rxed than before andmanded Ink-Dragon Lice to use the Shadow Thorn Stab again.
As expected, the Shadow Department Power was swallowed by the Slime once again, and it coincided with the birth of the Shadow Resistance.
¡°I never thought that a Slime could have such strong vitality. I was underestimating you.¡±
Xiao Yuan¡¯s face grew solemn, and he said, ¡°In that case, I have to exert my real strength.¡±
As soon as he said this, a red light shed in Xiao Yuan¡¯s eyes. The originally firm eyes of the Ink-Dragon Lice turnedpletely red, and its momentum also surged.
Beast Master Talent: Berserk.
This can make pet beasts enter a berserk state, elevating all attributes and skills, then bursting out hundreds of percent of their power.
Afterward, the Ink-Dragon Lice curled up into a ball shape again, and the Shadow Department Power flowed out but didn¡¯t attack Gamma actively. Instead, it stuck to the armor of the Ink-Dragon Lice, much like spikes.
¡°Ink-Dragon Lice, Thorny Chariot!¡±
At Xiao Yuan¡¯smand, the Ink-Dragon Lice quickly started spinning. The shadow spikes on its body transformed into rapidly rotating des as it charged at Gamma.
Under this density of attack, Gamma would be split into thousands or even tens of thousands of fragments. Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t believe that Bai Qi¡¯s Slime could survive this.
Finally, in the eager eyes of many, the Ink-Dragon Lice violently rammed into Gamma.
However, the brutal scene people had expected to see did not happen. Instead, Ink-Dragon Lice was engulfed by suddenly expanding Gamma, spinning in ce.
It felt like, it went down in one gulp.
¡°Why am I not surprised at all¡¡±
Watching Gamma, which had swallowed the Ink-Dragon Lice in one gulp, Bai Qiucha and Zhou Yan looked at each other; there was no surprise to be found in their eyes.
Chapter 139 - 138: Where did you find it? I’m going too!
Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Where did you find it? I¡¯m going too!
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Could it expand its body? True, the sludge monster could change its body ording to its surroundings.¡±
Seeing the Ink Dragon Louse continuously spinning within Gamma¡¯s body unable to escape its control, and slowly being dissolved by the sludge monster, Xiao Yuan¡¯s face did not show the slightest bit of urgency.
¡°Ink Dragon Louse, use Divide!¡¯1
The Ink Dragon Louse¡¯s movements paused. The shadow spikes that were previously pointing outward suddenly reversed their direction, and it split itself into several parts. Before Bai Qi could register his surprise, a new individual had formed from each piece.
Well, this Xiao Yuan sure knew how to y the game.
Seeing the Ink Dragon Louse multiplying in this way, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up instantly.
The division skill seemed quite suitable for Gamma.
While Bai Qi was pondering where to acquire the division skill from, the Ink Dragon Lice had alreadyunched their new rounds of attack on Gamma. Two even managed to break through Gamma¡¯s blockade and attacked Gamma from outside its body.
However, Gamma didn¡¯t care about those divisions but still firmly trapped the Ink Dragon Louse¡¯s main body. At the same time, a green halo quickly spread around Gamma and stopped only about fifty meters away.
Then, both the main body of the Ink Dragon Louse trapped inside Gamma and the divisions outside began to slowly turn green.
Corrosion + Deadly Poison Aura.
This was a skill that Gamma came with even before it was bound by a contract. It was only of intermediate level, but whenbined with Deadly Poison Aura, the effects were surprisingly good.
Corrosion damaged the opponent¡¯s external armor; the Deadly Poison Aura seeped toxins in. Given time, poisoning an opponent to death was not a dream.
¡°Poison skills?¡±
Seeing the green halo spreading out from Gamma, Xiao Yuan¡¯ s eyebrows raised.
In just a short time, the originally red-hot magma had beenpletely dyed green by the Deadly Poison Aura, with a bubble rising from it from time to time, making it extraordinarily eerie.
Forced to level up to the second stage and be a high-grade elite, the effects of the Deadly Poison Aura had far surpassed its original state.
However, despite this, Xiao Yuan was still not in the least bit panicked, he said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but this level of poison can¡¯t keep up with the recovery speed of the
Ink Dragon Louse.¡±
Due to the expansion of its volume, the area of Gamma¡¯s body that was in contact with the magma also expanded correspondingly. At this moment, it was quite clear that Gamma¡¯s body was being burned by the magma.
On the contrary, the Ink Dragon Louse, which waspletely corroded by Gamma, as soon as the armor on its body was corroded, it instantly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Skill Name]: Limb Regeneration
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Can repair injured, broken limbs and even internal organs, restoring them to their original state.
The Berserk skill could cause damage to the pets, but with this Limb Regeneration ability, the damage suffered by the Ink Dragon Louse could almost be quickly recovered.
Even when facing an attack from an enemy, the Ink Dragon Louse couldpletely give up its defense to attack.
Because there was simply no need to.
¡°I admit that your sludge monster is well-trained, such strong defense power coupled with this poison skill, it can definitely shine in group battles.¡±
¡°Unfortunately, you¡¯re actually protecting my Ink Dragon Louse. On the contrary, your sludge monster will eventually be melted by the magma.¡±
¡°If you don¡¯t have any other active attack skills, you won¡¯t be able to defeat my
Ink Dragon Louse.¡±
Strong sustained fighting power and short-term Berserk talent were not the only reasons Xiao Yuan could overpower Zhou Yan.
Although the Tower of Competition would bnce the double level of both pets, things like skill proficiency couldn¡¯t be bnced.
It was clear at a nce that Bai Qi¡¯s sludge monster had just recently mastered poison skills, at most they were at the entry-level proficiency, while his Ink Dragon Louse¡¯s proficiency in limb regeneration was already at perfection.
The moment Bai Qi wanted to engage in a war of attrition with him, the oue was already predetermined.
¡°That remains to be seen.¡±
Bai Qi hooked up the corner of his mouth in a wicked smile. Seeing Xiao Yuan, who was obviously also nning to y a protracted battle, he took out the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube and started ying with it.
¡°This guy¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s nonchnce, Xiao Yuan was somewhat speechless, but he didn¡¯t say anything else and just silently watched the battle in the arena.
¡°Ah¡ have they finished fighting?¡±
After a while, an audience member slowly woke up and saw no difference in the screen from when he fell asleep. He couldn¡¯t help but ask the person next to him.
¡°Um¡ they seem able to fight for a day.¡±
By this moment, more than an hour had passed since the duel started. The Ink Dragon Louse¡¯s divisions werepletely annihted by the deadly poison and magma, while the main body was still restrained by Gamma. It asionally released shadow power within Gamma¡¯s body, but Gamma¡¯s Deadly Poison Aura had not defeated the Ink Dragon Louse¡¯s Limb Regeneration, nor had it been melted by the magma below.
Maybe even Gamma¡¯s spirit was better than at the beginning.
¡°What is the situation with your sludge monster? How does it have so much energy!¡±
This Xiaoyuan was no longer theposed and confident person he had been at the beginning, with disbelief filling his eyes.
This was the first time that a peer could match him in a war of attrition.
No, looking at Gamma, which was bing more and more courageous, it seemed that the Ink Dragon Louse was at a disadvantage.
¡°Huh? Hasn¡¯t it ended yet?¡±
Because he was bored, Bai Qi, who was ying with the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, suddenly reacted to Xiao Yuan¡¯s words. Looking at his own pet and his opponent¡¯s pet, still at a stalemate, he couldn¡¯t help but yawn.
Indeed, Gamma had a lot of Energy Value, even more so after being strengthened. However, it was able tost this long thanks inrge part to its Energy Absorption.
The perfectly refined Energy Absorption ability would draw a portion of the energy value from the Ink Dragon Lice during Limb Regeneration to replenish itself.
In a way, at least half of Gamma¡¯s energy consumption was provided by the Ink Dragon Lice.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutation)
[Growth Level]: First Stage Second Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Racial skills]: Energy Absorption (Perfect), Mimicry (Perfect), Corrosion (Proficient), Toxin Resistance (Proficient), zing Resistance (Skilled), Radiation Resistance (Skilled), Current Resistance (Skilled), Frozen Resistance (Beginner), me Resistance (Skilled), Shadow Resistance (Skilled), Deadly Poison Aura (Beginner)
Two resistance skills have reached the skilled level, perhaps this can be considered a free practice?
Seeing Bai Qi looking like this, Xiao Yuan kept silent. Due to the suppression of the Bloodline Level, the Ink Dragon Lice could not use its Super Skill at all, and obviously, it couldn¡¯t cause damage to Gamma with the skills it had now.
If there weren¡¯t any unexpected circumstances, this battle was likely going to end in a draw.
Think about it, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and was about to suggest a draw, but suddenly felt a call for helping from the Ink Dragon Lice. Before he could respond, Gamma had spit out the Ink Dragon Lice.
Ka-pu Ka-pu.
(Master, I cannot eat anymore.)
Gamma belched contentedly and then fell into a deep sleep in the magma. The Ink Dragon Lice on the opposite side wanted to get up, but in the end, it slumped down.
It hadn¡¯t experienced a severe battle, but its energy value had beenpletely depleted.
To put it simply, it was exhausted.
¡°Energy absorbed? So that¡¯s it. Was it an Energy Absorption type skill?¡± Xiao Yuan felt the information transmitted by the Ink Dragon Lice, finally understood, returned the Ink Dragon Lice to the Beast Control Space, and once again recovered his usual smile.
¡°I lost this match.¡±
When they heard Xiao Yuan admit his loss, the audience was silent.
Xiao Yuan, who had never lost since bing a Beast Master, actually admitted defeat?
Is this Bai Qi really that powerful?
¡°I had an advantage, or else Gamma would never have been a match for Ink
Dragon Lice.¡±
Even though he won the match, Bai Qi was not proud.
He was well aware that the Ink Dragon Lice¡¯sbat power was definitely not just this.
With such strong endurance, if it could use super skills, with Gamma¡¯s current state, even if it was forcibly promoted, it would not be a match for Ink Dragon
Lice.
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, ¡°A loss is a loss, and you reminded me of something.¡±
¡°I pay too much attention to high and even super skills, once I encounter a situation like today, the pet has a lot of energy but can¡¯t show its fullbat power.¡±
¡°After going back this time, I will train the pet¡¯s low-level skills. Saying this, Xiao Yuan bowed deeply to Bai Qi and said solemnly, ¡°I have learned a lot!¡±
Huh, is this what a genius is? They can gain insight from everything. Bai Qi scratched his head, but also approved of Xiao Yuan¡¯s words. There are always some limitations to the use of Super Skills, not to mention others, the terrifying energy consumption determines that they cannot be used as regr skills.
That being said, the problem of improving the proficiency of these skills is also a hassle.
It¡¯s okay for Alpha and the Husky, their skills are not many, but the passive skills of this slime monster are somewhat terrifying.
It would be nice to have a Skill Machine, to quickly increase the proficiency. After the match was over, both of them returned to the field one after another, and Zhou Yan and others who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded them.
¡°Well done, Bai Qi, even though you have just be a Third Stage Beast Master, you have cultivated such a powerful pet. Tell me, did someone give you special treatment?¡±
Zhou Yan hugged Bai Qi¡¯s neck with an arm, her terrifying arm strength nearly took Bai Qi away until Bai Qiucha reminded her to let go.
¡°Cough cough cough¡ Sister Zhou, could you be gentler next time, the crime of attempting to kill a Beast Master is huge.
Bai Qi rubbed his neck, took a few deep breaths, and then began to recover his breath.
¡°I didn¡¯t even use my strength yet, I don¡¯t know howyou¡¯ve managed to train these pets with your frail body,¡± Zhou Yan pouted and stopped touching him, but Bai Qi was feeling frustrated.
Speech prevailing over fists, I admit I¡¯m weak!
Bai Qiucha said, ¡°Bai Qi, tell us about this slime monster of yours, is it the Lord Creature given by the special training member?
Bai Qi shookhis head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t gone to collect that one yet. Gamma was merely a stray creature and I¡¯d just finished training it early.
Chapter 140 - 139: Alternate Dimension Killing Array?
Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Alternate Dimension Killing Array?
Trantor: 549690339 1
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Zhou Yan immediately grabbed Bai Qi¡¯s cor, intending to force him to spill the beans.
¡°Zhou Yan, a beast tamer¡¯s capture location is his or her private secret. Be careful not to let that Song Yao guy hear you.¡±
Just then, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan immediately stood up straight in awe and turned around to salute, saying, ¡°Tower Master Bai.¡±
¡°Uncle.¡±
Bai Qiucha also bowed in salute at the sight.
The man was none other than the Tower Master of the Tower of Competition,
Bai Tongchen, who is the legendary titled Celestial Brilliance and the younger brother of Bai Heguang.
Bai Tongchen gave Bai Qi a pat on the head. Then he looked at Bai Qi and said, ¡°A few days ago, Old Qin asked me to help you choose a good beast as apanion. I didn¡¯t expect you to have already formed a contract on your own.¡± Bai Qi gave a sheepish grin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for troubling you, Tower Master Bai.¡± Bai Tongchen waved his hand nonchntly. ¡°No matter, a Beast Master is also about fate with his or her beastpanion. Moreover, the potential of your slime monster is quite impressive.¡±
He, as the Tower Master, naturally could not miss Bai Qi and Xiao Yuan¡¯s fight.
He nearly watched the whole process, which was why he conveniently appeared here.
Bai Qi said, ¡°Thank you for yourpliment, Tower Master Bai.¡± ¡°Alright, I have other business to attend to. You guys should spend more time on thepetition tower when you are free. You can¡¯t be a legendary beast master by just studying.¡±
Saying that, Bai Tongchen stepped away and instantly disappeared.
¡°Tower Master Bai is so cool!¡±
Watching Bai Tongchen walk away quickly, Zhou Yan¡¯s eyes turned into heart shapes. She didn¡¯t notice the strange looks Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha were giving her.
¡°Cha, has sister Zhou always been such a fangirl?¡±
¡°No, only for my uncle.¡±
¡°Wow, so sister Zhou likes the uncle type!¡±
¡°Um, I suggest you not to discuss this in front of her, otherwise¡
¡°Bai Qi, what did you just say?!¡±
¡°Ahem. I didn¡¯t say anything, it was Cha!¡±
¡°Bai Qi, you bastard!¡±
¡°Phew, that was a close one.¡±
The sessful scapegoat, Bai Qi, looked at Bai Qiucha who was being chased around by Zhou Yan. He took a moment to mourn for him, then decided to enter the Tower of Competition once again.
He couldn¡¯t reserve the benefit from the bnce enhancement, but the me resistance he had acquired in the volcano arena was actual and effective.
in other words, as long as he used this method, Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t have to worry about having a proficiency problem with Gamma¡¯s array of resistance skills.
¡°Attention all training students, all training students, please gather in the main
hall immediately.¡±
¡°Attention all training students, all training students, please gather in the main
hall immediately.¡±
¡°Attention all training students, all training students, please gather in the main
hall immediately.¡±
At that moment, a familiar voice came from Bai Qi¡¯s student badge, it was Luo
Xiang¡¯s.
¡°Why is there training at this time? What is Luo Xiang thinking?
Bai Qi felt a little puzzled while the other training students had the same expression. But those Beast Masters who had also participated in the training or had been stationed at the headquarters for a long time looked indifferent.
Nowadays, young people have bad psychological quality. They had been pulled out of bed by Luo Xiang at one or two in the morning.
But no matter how much they grumbled, whether it was Zhou Yan who was still being chased by Bai Qiucha, or Lu Qing who had been studying in her room all night, they dutifully arrived at the assembly hall.
However, even when everyone had arrived, Luo Xiang was still nowhere to be
seen.
¡°I feel like we¡¯ve been yed by Luo Xiang again¡¡±
Zhou Yan was visibly frustrated. The reason they had spare time to run to the Green Dragon Secret Realm a few days ago was that Luo Xiang, who was supposed to teach their theory ss, handed them each a Rune Dictionary, put up a sign for self-study, and then disappeared again.
Now, Luo Xiang hadn¡¯t shown up for a long time, and Zhou Yan¡¯s intuition told her that Luo Xiang might have run away again.
¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case. With Instructor Luo¡¯s character, if he doesn¡¯t want toe, no one can find him.¡±
Lu Qing pushed her sses up on her nose and looked at Bai Qi. ¡°Besides, everyone is here now. There¡¯s no reason for Instructor Luo to keep cking off.¡±
Upon hearing Lu Qing¡¯s words, Bai Qi felt a twitch at the corner of his eye. Luo Xiang was actually using him as an excuse to ck off, this instructor was really unreliable!
¡°Yo, you guys got here pretty quick. Looks like I can¡¯t bete next time.
Just then, Luo Xiang finally showed up fashionablyte.
No doubt about it, this guy was intentionallyte.
The students were speechless, but they maintained their silence. Although Luo Xiang seemed unreliable, his real skills were no bluff. They had no ce to question a Master of the Sunrise Level who was on the verge of entering the legendary realm.
¡°Well, let¡¯s start today¡¯s training.¡±
Luo Xiang looked around, suddenly took out a Rune Dictionary, and asked, ¡°By the way, did you guys bring the dictionaries I gave you?¡±
The crowd looked at each other in dismay. That Rune Dictionary was both thick and heavy, with content that could literally make them go blind. Hence, they had basically left it in their dorms. Besides, Luo Xiang had been in a hurry, and who would carry it around for no reason?
However, Bai Qi and the others realized something.
¡°Tsk, you guys are on your own then.¡±
There was a trace of regret on Luo Xiang¡¯s face. He patted the Secret Realm Gate next to him. Immediately, all the students were enveloped in beams of light and disappeared from the spot.
¡°As expected, this is not an open task from Luo Xiang, it¡¯s a pitfall! Looking at the cubic room he was in and the runic inscriptions on the walls, Bai Qi had a good idea of Luo Xiang¡¯s n.
¡°All of you students, the exit to this secret room you¡¯re in is hidden within these runes. As long as you can find the correctbination of runes, you can leave the room.¡±
¡°You have one day to crack it. As for the penalty for overtime¡
¡°I rmend you not to know.¡±
¡°By the way, do not attempt to break the code by brute force-¡±
Luo Xiang¡¯s voice echoed in the secret room, and apart from a few individuals, most of the students groaned in frustration.
Counting the ceiling and the floor, there were six walls in total. Each wall had 16 runes, totaling 96.
Strictly speaking,pared to the dictionary that could be passed down for generations, this number wasn¡¯t much. But not knowing the number ofbinations made these 96 runes quite terrifying indeed.
The key point was, they hardly recognized these runes!
¡°Using runes for an escape room game, Luo Xiang, you¡¡±
Bai Qi crouched down and inspected the runic inscriptions under his feet, before starting to search the room.
The entire secret chamber was divided into square bricks, each engraved with runes of different attributes. Bai Qi had already found three explosion runes and five ice runes.
As Luo Xiang had indicated, Bai Qi believed that touching these runes would likely trigger their effects.
In some ways, this secret chamber was simr to the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude. They just had to find the safe runes to pass.
The runes they were standing on were undoubtedly the safest.
Thanks to his study of runes during these days, Bai Qi quickly found some runes of the same series without needing to use his rune sses. After pressing them, a door immediately appeared in the originally sealed rune chamber.
¡°Easypeasy.¡±
Bai Qi grinned and stepped out of the secret chamber.
Then, he entered another secret chamber¡
¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯ve walked into an alternate dimension killing array¡¡± Bai Qi looked at the room in front of him which was densely packed with runes, and then back at the chamber he had just left, and couldn¡¯t help but grumble. Fortunately, each student had been separated. Otherwise, would they also need to test human nature?
However, the chamber didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of letting Bai Qi continue observing. It started to close slowly, and Bai Qi had no option but to quickly gauge the attributes of the runes under his feet and step into this new chamber.
After assuring the safety, Bai Qi started counting the runes around him. ¡°6*64, with so many runes, it is like persecuting the illiterate! Looking at the chamber, which had visibly increased in quantity and difficulty, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, but then started to organize them rapidly. Thanks to the practice with the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, Bai Qi had a good number of runes, so he quickly found a group of safe runes and sessfully found the door.
However, after passing through the door, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
It was really an alternate dimension killing array. He hoped it wouldn¡¯t upgrade like the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube.
In a white space, Bai Qi¡¯s figure suddenly appeared. Looking at the massive cubeposed of identical smaller cubes behind him, Bai Qi was more convinced of his guess.
Whoever designed this cubic chamber must be a time traveler, and a big fan of horror movies as well!
¡°Luckily, this cubic chamber only has four stages, or else I¡¯d be driven mad.¡± Fouryers in the chamber, the number of runes on the walls went from 16 to 32, then to 64, and finally 128.
Both the quantity and quality improved visibly. Bai Qi was certain, if he didn t spend loads of effort on rune studies, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find the way out. ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect to be the first one out. Old Qin said that the specially trained team members take this very seriously, didn¡¯t they?¡±
Bai Qi looked around the empty white space, then began to examine the situation.
Just then, another figure appeared in the chamber.
It was Lu Qing, who had a quite aplished study of runes.
With her deep understanding of runes, Lu Qing almost seamlessly solved the challenges of the four-fold chamber. She thought she would be the first one, but Bai Qi was even faster.
Indeed, it was no ident that he could research rune evolution. Thinking of this, Lu Qing¡¯s face turned somber. She turned away and ignored Bai Qi, which left him bewildered.
What did he do to offend her this time?
Bai Qi scratched his head in bewilderment, silently creating some distance from Lu Qing.
At least he could avoid her if he couldn¡¯t manage to appease her. In the silence that ensued, another figure appeared in the room. It was surprisingly Zhou Yan, not Li Mu and others as they predicted. ¡°Sister Zhou, have you studied runes as well?¡± Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan with some surprise. Based on his understanding of Zhou Yan, asking her to read was like killing her. He didn¡¯t expect Zhou Yan to have such a highmand of runes.
¡°Rune? Why would I study that nonsense.¡¯
Zhou Yan shook her head, saying, ¡°I just pushed a few runes at random, and here I am.¡±
Is that even possible?
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched a little. He then said nothing, crouched in a corner, and started drawing circles.
He really was asking for humiliation bypeting with a luck god.
Chapter 141 - 140: The Emergence of the Beast Soul Warrior
Chapter 141: Chapter 140: The Emergence of the Beast Soul Warrior
Trantor: 549690339
Shortly after Zhou Yan, Xiao Yuan and Li Mu, a group of Four Stage Beast Masters showed up.
These individuals were older and of higher level in this round of training, each with some knowledge of runes.
However, it was clear they were still inferior to Bai Qi and Lu Qing. They bore visible signs of injuries, clearly from mistakes made in their attempts to break the runes.
What surprised Bai Qi was that Gu Shan emerged just a few minutes after Xiao Yuan and his cohorts.
Gu Shan, who was usually quiet and unassuming, turned out to be quitepetent in various aspects, suggesting he simply preferred to keep his abilities hidden.
¡°So it¡¯s true, you did leave the chamber before me.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi hade out before him, Xiao Yuan gave a light smile, without a hint of surprise. On the other hand, Li Mu appeared increasingly serious.
He lost again¡
As time passed, many more left the cube-shaped chamber. One by one, they left in a more miserable state than those who came before. By the end of the hour, those forcefully ejected from the chamber virtually resembled refugees returning from flight.
And Bai Qiucha was one of them.
¡°Pfft¡ Cha, how did you end up like this?¡±
Observing the distressed Bai Qiucha, who was not his graceful self at all, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter. But seeing Bai Qiucha starting to be indignant, Bai Qi forced himself to stop.
However, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but break into uproariousughter upon recognizing Bai Qiucha, not caring about the unusual stares from those around him.
¡°Hahaha¡ Cha, so you do have bad days, hahaha¡¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qiucha turned a cold shoulder and ignored everyone.
From a young age, he had pretty much led the pack in both practical and theoretical aspects, with the exception of runes. Despite dedicating some time to learning runes recently, it seemed he just didn¡¯t have the talent for it. In the end, he was forcefully expelled.
It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t face failure. He could handle beingughed at by Bai Qi and the others. But being ridiculed by Zhou Yan, the underachiever, was a real blow to his pride.
¡°But it¡¯s time. Why hasn¡¯t Instructor Luo announced the rules for the next round?¡±
After everyone had emerged, Xiao Yuan began to sense something was off.
If Luo Xiang¡¯s urgent summon was a test of their control over runes, to motivate them, then their job here was done, and they should have been teleported away.
Keeping them here obviously meant there were other arrangements. But Luo Xiang¡¯s continuing silence was making Xiao Yuan nervous.
¡°He wouldn¡¯t have forgotten us while gallivanting somewhere else, would he?¡±
Zhou Yan tilted his head in thought, expressing his opinion which was surprisingly gaining poprity among the others.
Surveying his surroundings, Bai Qi remarked, ¡°I don¡¯t think so, but my gut tells me he¡¯s definitely up to something.¡±
Just as he finished speaking, a touch of red appeared in the originally pure- white space, quickly spreading and dyed the entire space red.
Just as expected.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Bai Qi had a feeling this was going to happen. Just as he was about to say something, a slit suddenly broke open in the red dome above. Streams of blood seeped out.
Damn it! First an Alternate Dimension Killing Array, now a Sword God Territory?
¡°This feeling¡ it¡¯s not like a normal secret realm mechanism. It¡¯s more like a Beast Soul Warrior?¡±
Just as Bai Qi was rolling his eyes, Xiao Yuan and the others turned pale. Other Beast Masters also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly summoned their beasts.
¡°Beast Soul Warrior? Really?¡±
Bai Qi became serious on hearing Xiao Yuan¡¯s words.
Even though it had been quiet for nearly twenty years, the Federation never let down its guard against the Ferocious Beast Tribe, mankind¡¯s greatest enemy. Beast Soul Warriors always led the tribe¡¯s assaults.
Beast Soul Warriors were originally humans, only they were different from the humans living in the Federation. They had either been abducted or raised by ferocious beasts.
Their purpose, of course, was to be nourishment for higher-ranking races.
Like the covenants between Federation Beast Masters and their beasts, higher beings from the tribe also formed parasitic covenants with certain humans.
Through these parasitic covenants, ferocious beasts could draw on the soul¡¯s energy of these humans, strengthening themselves. Any human who couldn¡¯t meet their demand would have his soul devoured directly.
Yet, those who survived this brutal symbiosis would have their souls enhanced, gradually bing what Xiao Yuan and others referred to as Beast Soul Warriors.
Meanwhile, because their souls had been assimted by ferocious beasts, these Beast Soul Warriors could obtain some abilities of ferocious beasts. They could even use spirit power to manifest a beast soul during battles, something they liked to call Martial Souls.
However, with the expanding range of the Snare in recent years, Beast Soul Warriors should have had a hard time infiltrating the Federation, let alone here at the headquarters of the Beast Master Association.
But this smells like something Luo Xiang has cooked up¡
Even though Bai Qi held suspicions, he didn¡¯t lower his guard. He summoned Alpha, and while the rest of the trainees summoned their pets, the blood started to coalesce into a bloodthirsty demon.
¡°Hehehe¡ I didn¡¯t expect such a great catch from just invading a secret realm. Human young Beast Masters. If I capture them and bring them back, the Blood Nightmare Demon would definitely reward me greatly!¡±
The bloodthirsty demon swept the young Beast Masters below with its eyes, its gaze sharpening. If it could, it would have swallowed Bai Qi and the others whole right away.
¡°Blood Nightmare Demon? It seems like it¡¯s really a Beast Soul Warrior.¡±
Upon hearing the words of the demon, Bai Qiucha¡¯s face suddenly changed, it was now clear where this anomaly wasing from.
As the Legendary Son, his knowledge of the Ferocious Beast Tribe was definitely more than others, and the Blood Nightmare Demon was a legendary undead creature within the Ferocious Beast Tribe itself.
¡°Clear now? That¡¯s all we need!¡±
Zhou Yan, upon hearing Bai¡¯s words, was not the least bit scared. She immediately entered the state of soul-infusion, then without waiting for Bai Qiucha and others to stop her, she charged straight towards the demon.
¡°What a fearsome little girl, it¡¯s a pity I¡¯m not physical right now, I can¡¯t fight you.¡±
The wicked ghost smirked and did not evade Zhou Yan at all, simply allowing Zhou Yan to pierce him with her spear before disappearing herself.
¡°This guy, always so reckless.¡±
Xiao Yuan sighed without thinking, just as he was about to warn the others to be cautious, arge blood-red portal appeared under everyone¡¯s feet. The students were caught off guard and plunged into it one-by-one.
¡°Alpha, protect me.¡±
Seeing the bloody portal opening under his feet, Bai Qi immediately had Alpha return to his side for protection, then he fell straight down without hesitation. Xiao Yuan and the others seemed to understand that attacking this demon was useless, and all made the same choice.
In an instant, the lively space was left with only the blood-colored demon.
¡°Hehehe¡¡±
After a period of freefall, Alpha managed tond while holding onto Bai Qi. Bai Qi immediately summoned Husky and Gamma.
Now that Bai Qiucha had confirmed that a Beast Soul Warrior had caused all this, he naturally prepared himself fully. In this unfamiliar environment, it wasn¡¯t enough to rely on just a strong offense.
¡°Schuck Beta, be on alert for our surroundings. Gamma, remember to protect me. Alpha, attack whoever we encounter!¡±
Bai Qi gave orders to his three pets, then held Gamma in his arms. The three pets were all focused and prepared for battle.
Gluck Gluck!
(¡°Boss, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let any enemies go.¡±)
Woof Woof!
(¡°So, can I finally unleash my artistic talents freely?¡±)
Crunch Crunch!
(¡°I¡¯ll devour them all!¡±)
Though this was their first time facing a Beast Soul Warrior, they could tell from their master¡¯sposure that this fight was entirely different from the previous ones, which made them particrly serious.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and began to check their surroundings.
The environment here was simr to the cubic room they were in before, rectangr and muchrger. All six sides were colored blood-red, proving that the Blood Nightmare Demon was behind all this.
¡°Is he nning to split us up and take each one of us out? It feels like an overkill.¡±
Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brows, feeling that something was off about this unexpected event. All of a sudden, the blood-red wall opened up with arge hole. A boy with sunken eye sockets and skeletal-like build slowly came out from the hole.
¡°A Third Stage Beast Master? He is underestimating me.¡±
A sh of annoyance passed through the boy¡¯s eyes, he then spoke in a hoarse voice to Bai Qi, ¡°Hey, I advise you to surrender now, I can make it a little easier for you.¡±
¡°So this is a Beast Soul Warrior? Aside from looking a little frail, there¡¯s no difference between him and normal people.¡±
Bai Qi looked the boy up and down with curiosity. Not finding anything unusual, a hint of disappointment showed on his face.
He had expected Beast Soul Warriors to have extraordinary power, or even exude demonic charisma. But this boy merely looked like he was high on drugs.
He had been excited at the thought of Beast Soul Warriors being able to summon Martial Souls. But seeing this, it didn¡¯t seem worth it, it might ruin his good looks.
¡°Was I¡disdained?¡±
The boy apparently misunderstood Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts. He was already annoyed and now his killing intent boiled up. With a thought, a dragon-shaped soul body slowly crawled out from his body.
¡°I was going to give you a chance, but now, feed my Ghost Dragon!¡±
With a cold snort, the Ghost Dragon behind the boy pped its wings. It noiselessly appeared behind Bai Qi and bit towards him.
What the heck, he¡¯s attacking without warning!
Are all Beast Soul Warriors so devoid of martial principles?
Bai Qi ungracefully rolled away, narrowly avoiding the Ghost Dragon¡¯s surprise attack. Alpha also instantly joined in, shing at the Ghost Dragon.
¡°It¡¯s useless, physicttackscan¡¯t hurt our martial souls.¡±
The boy sneered and puckered his lips, just as he was about to teach Bai Qi a lesson. Suddenly, he heard the Ghost Dragon wail in pain, and a deep wound appeared on its mouth.
¡°This is a martial soul? There¡¯s no difference between it and the undead¡¡±
Chapter 142 - 141: Father’s Love and Filial Piety
Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Father¡¯s Love and Filial Piety
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi looked at the Ghost Dragon, which was broken down by Alpha¡¯s sword, smacking his lips in slight disappointment.
I thought the Martial Soul of Beast Soul Warriors was somewhat special. Turns out it¡¯s no different from the Soul Race, and it could be attacked by the Withering Power.
¡°Withering Power? That was my carelessness.¡±
The young man frowned at this and was about to counterattack with the Ghost Dragon, only to find several petite Mechanical Spiders suddenly appearing at his feet.
Woof, woof!
(Art is explosion!)
With Beta¡¯s howl, Mechanical Spiders exploded suddenly, engulfing the boy in smoke.
Seeing Beta¡¯s sessful ambush, Bai Qi was not pleased. He balled up his fists to slug Beta, saying, ¡°Foolish dog, who taught you to brag about sneak attacks! You shout after the explosion, not before!¡±
Uh-huh?
(Who would I announce to if it blew me up too?)
¡°Record it, and watch it yourself.¡±
Woof!
(So, that¡¯s also an option!)
Beta¡¯s face was filled with surprise as another door of knowledge had been opened to him, though his attention was quickly caught by a movement obscured by the smoke.
As a gale blew through, the thick smoke dissipated, revealing the figure of the boy epassed by the Ghost Dragon, apparently suffering no harm.
This situation really seemed to apply the ssicw: smoke without harm.
This doesn¡¯t count, right?
Martial Soul True Body?
A loophole?
Hiding oneself within the Martial Soul Body should be deemed cheating!
From inside the Ghost Dragon, the boy looked at Bai Qi, who was wearing a jealous expression, and said, ¡°And here I thought all the Beast Masters of the Federation were just the formic nerd types. This is quite interesting¡¡±
¡°However, if it¡¯s just this, it won¡¯t do much¡¡±
¡°Ghost Dragon, Curse!¡±
Roar!
Three ck breaths appeared around Alpha, Husky, and Bai Qi as the Ghost Dragon¡¯s eyes flickered ck. Without waiting for any reaction, they fell upon them.
In an instant, Bai Qi felt dizzy, his body involuntarily softened, and he almost copsed on the ground. Meanwhile, the previously spirited Beta seemed to wilt.
¡°It¡¯s pretty ufortable, isn¡¯t it? If it weren¡¯t for the order from above not to harm you, your curse wouldn¡¯t be so light.¡±
Seeing their condition, the young man nodded with satisfaction. He started to walk towards Bai Qi with the intention of tying him up when all of a sudden a Crystal Longsword whizzed past his scalp. It was Alpha¡¯s Withering Great Sword.
¡°Impossible! Why is he unaffected?!¡±
Seeing Alphapletely untouched, the young man was obviously surprised. But after noticing Alpha¡¯s Crystal Bones, he quickly connected the dots.
¡°Crystal Dragon Bone, that exins it.¡±
The Crystal Dragon, one of the mightiest dragon kinds, known for its immunity to most negative statuses. Even after death, when it became an undead creature, it maintained its immunity effect, making it normal for it to resist the curse.
Just as the young man was relieved that Alpha was immune to the curse, he started to question everything.
Husky, who was supposed to lose hisbat power, was acting as if nothing happened. His body was electrified with thunder and he was surrounded by a number of artillery turrets aimed at the young man.
Schuck, being a member of the Mechanical Engineering Department, was also unresponsive to the curse, additionally, he used Thunder Power to drive out the curse infecting Beta.
But that wasn¡¯t the end of it. After a brief spell of weakness, Bai Qi slowly stood up again.
¡°How is it possible?!¡±
Looking at the shocked youngster, Bai Qi grinned and patted the pitch-ck Gamma in his arms, feeling more and more justified about his decision to abandon his Flying Pet Beast and contract with Gamma.
As long as it¡¯s in energy form, it can all be absorbed. This is how ridiculously powerful the perfect Energy Absorption is!
¡°Huh¡ No wonder he asked me to deal with you; you¡¯re no ordinary Third Stage Beast Master.¡±
The young man let out a heavy sigh, forcing himself to keep calm, and floated upward inside the Ghost Dragon until he reached its head.
¡°Now, feel the power of the Dragon Race!¡±
With a roaring shout from the young boy, the Ghost Dragon also made a move. A cobalt me spurted from its mouth. It was the dragon¡¯s indispensable skill¡ª Dragon Breath.
¡°Alpha, Withering Breath, block him!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi didn¡¯t underestimate the situation and immediately had Alpha respond with full force.
Click, click.
(Leave it to me.)
Alpha stuck his sword beside him and opened his mouth, spouting a deep blue breath, as majestic as the Ghost Dragon¡¯s Dragon Breath, making it an evenly matched battle.
This time, the young man was no longer surprised. Aplex Rune Mark appeared on his forehead, causing the Ghost Dragon¡¯s body to drastically expand, and the range of its Dragon Breath to widen, covering Alpha directly.
¡°It¡¯s a shame for a skeleton that can spit out dragon breath.¡±
The young man looked regretfully at Alpha, who hadpletely disappeared in the dragon¡¯s breath. He then turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°You have good potential. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to consider joining our tribe?¡±
¡°As long as you agree, I can rmend you to join under Lord Dragon God, and you will be able to have a martial soul as powerful as mine!¡±
¡°In fact, I can even protect your pet beasts and let them be members of the tribe.¡±
¡°What do you think? Want to consider it?¡±
The young man¡¯s words were quite tempting, but Bai Qi rejected him without hesitation.
¡°Sorry, I¡¯m afraid people will misunderstand that I¡¯m weak!¡±
Bai Qi nced at the young man¡¯s frail-looking body and said, ¡°And don¡¯t you know, you¡¯re standing on the wrong side?¡±
The left side always loses since ancient times. You¡¯re still too young, my boy.
The young man was stunned upon hearing those words and immediately realized something. He saw the Ghost Dragon¡¯s breath gradually freezing up like a liquid, and the frost quickly spread towards the Ghost Dragon along the breath.
Upon seeing this, the young man immediately stopped the Ghost Dragon¡¯s attack and was about to retreat, but a Crystal Longsword came whistling over, piercing through the body of the Ghost Dragon and heading towards the young man¡¯s head.
¡°Damn it, this kid is brutal!¡±
The young man immediately dropped his posture to avoid it, but the Crystal Great Sword seemed unwilling to let him go and chased him relentlessly.
¡°Dematerialize!¡±
Upon seeing this, the young man roared in anger. His entire body instantly became transparent like a ghost, letting the Withering Great Sword pass through his chest but not causing any harm.
¡°Bastard, you forced me into this.¡±
Thinking of the intense pain that would follow dematerialization, the young man did not hide his anger. He immediately left the body of the Ghost Dragon, who then pped its wings and a stream of ghosts came out one after another, flying towards Bai Qi and others.
[Skill Name]: Ghost Attack
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Can summon arge number of ghosts to charge, causing the attacked to be depressed, and severe cases can even damage the spirit. ¡°Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?¡±
Seeing the Ghost Dragon use this skill, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and immediately hid behind Husky.
¡°Beta, I leave them to you.¡±
Woof woof!
(No problem, watch me!)
Beta confidently raised his head and, after a melodious howl, a strange chanting sound prated into the minds of all the ghosts and the young man.
Seeing the ghosts that actually got stuck after hearing the sound, the young man felt like he was about to explode. Just as he was about to let the Ghost Dragon drum the ghosts, Schuck seized the opportunity and directly spit out a force of Thunderbolt, sweeping in a circle and eliminating all the ghosts around him.
¡°What exactly is going on with this guy¡¯s pets?!¡±
The young man forcefully grabbed his own hair to wake himself up. Before he could give new orders, Alpha had already broken out of the ice. Bone spikes flew out directly from his body,unching an all-around attack on the Ghost Dragon.
Seeing this, the young man was about to go up andmand, but found that a piece of green jelly fell from the sky andnded on the ground, passing through his body. At the same time, a green light spread out from the jelly, covering an area of ten meters around him.
¡°I suggest you better not get distracted, otherwise I won¡¯t be responsible if you get poisoned to death.¡±
Bai Qi leaned on Husky and pointed at the Deadly Poison Aura around the young man, saying, ¡°I haven¡¯t used it on humans yet, so I don¡¯t know what effect it will have. So for safety¡¯s sake, you better not dematerialize.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, the young man unconsciously clenched his fists. Seeing the Ghost Dragon tightly entwined by Alpha and the Deadly Poison Aura that had always followed him, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted at the sky of the secret room.
¡°I give up, I quit!¡±
As soon as his words fell, there was a burst ofughter in the secret room. Then a burly figure emerged, it was Bai Tongchen, the tower master of the Tower of Competition, whom he had met in the morning.
¡°Eve told you before not to underestimate your opponents, and now you see, you lost.¡±
Bai Tongchennded a heavy punch on the young man. The young man couldn¡¯t help but cry out in pain, his dematerialized state was forcibly lifted, and his originally skinny body gradually plumped up, turning into normal human appearance.
He looked just like a little boy and had some resemnce to Bai Qiucha.
Bai Tongchen rubbed the disgruntled young man¡¯s head, then turned to Bai Qi who seemed unaffected and said, ¡°Tell me, when did you realize this kid was pretending?¡±
Bai Qi pointed at the back of the young man¡¯s hand that was deliberately covered with gloves and said, ¡°Although I¡¯ve never used it, I¡¯ve seen the logo of Yan Huang, the most popr brand in the Federation, and it¡¯s a limited edition. I don¡¯t think a Beast Soul Warrior of a tribe would have time to follow the trend.¡±
¡°Also, his acting skills were too poor!¡±
Bai Tongchen looked at the young man¡¯s palm and saw the unique logo of the Divine Dragon on the gloves. Hended another punch on the boy.
¡°Bai Yuxiao! Didn¡¯t I tell you to throw these away?!¡±
Bai Yuxiao smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°This is a limited edition, I was afraid it would be stolen¡¡±
A vein throbbed on Bai Tongchen¡¯s forehead, he unconsciously clenched his fist, while Bai Yuxiao retreated like a frightened rabbit, constantly begging for mercy.
¡°Dad, don¡¯t hit my face, okay?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
¡°I¡¯m your own child! Aren¡¯t you afraid that there will be no one to see you off when you are old?¡±
¡°It¡¯s because you¡¯re my own child that I can beat you! Boy, don¡¯t run away!¡±

Chapter 143: Chapter 142: The Real Intensive Training
Trantor: 549690339
Watching the ¡°filial affection¡± drama staged between Bai Tongchen and Bai Yuxiao in the secret room, Bai Qi was somewhat speechless. He silently recalled his three pets back and asked, ¡°Um, Tower Master Bai, would you mind exining what¡¯s going on?¡±
Only then did Bai Tongchen stop his pursuit and said, ¡°Actually there¡¯s nothing much. Luo Xiang just felt that pure theoretical teaching was too dull, so he set up this act.¡±
With that said, Bai Tongchen grabbed Bai Yuxiao, whose face was swollen from being beaten, and said, ¡°It¡¯s just that this kid¡¯s acting skills are too poor, it didn¡¯t work.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxiao pouted and replied, ¡°You should let me summon my other beasts. What does it mean when it¡¯s three against one?¡±
Bai Tongchen¡¯s vein popped again on his forehead, he punched Bai Yuxiao to the ground once more, saying, ¡°Stop ying the big bad wolf with me; both Xiao Yuan and Cha lost. Do you really think you still have a chance?¡±
¡°Xiao Brother and Brother Cha lost? Lost to him?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxiao waspletely shocked, and seemed somewhat disbelieving.
It¡¯s okay for Brother Cha, but how could Xiao Yuan lose? My dad must be trying to fool me.
It must be so!
The more Bai Yuxiao thought about it, the more he was convinced he was right. With a defiant look, he turned his head. Bai Tongchen didn¡¯t bother arguing with Bai Yuxiao any longer and said, ¡°Now that you, Bai Qi, have passed the test,e out with me.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
He had already suspected that this was some kind of test, and now that it was confirmed, naturally there was no reason to stay here any longer.
Bai Tongchen grabbed the two of them, the three of them were instantly enveloped in a pir of light and disappeared. When they reappeared, they were back in the previous space.
The blood-red space wall was disying scenes in different secret rooms, and the blood-red ghost was watching with great interest.
¡°Yo, Bai Qi, you came out so quickly.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi appear, the blood-red ghost immediately waved his hand as if to greet Bai Qi.
¡°This voice¡ It¡¯s indeed Luo Xiang¡¡±
Hearing the voice of the blood-red ghost, Bai Qi was not at all surprised. He felt it was only natural.
Given Luo Xiang¡¯s character, how could he possibly not be involved in this kind of thing?
¡°Brother Luo, you said you were in charge of the theoretical part, so why are you having so much fun?¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged and said, ¡°As members of the Special Training Program, mastering runes is essential, but so isbat experience.¡±
¡°At least, your generation has it too easy.¡±
Luo Xiang¡¯s voice gradually deepened, pointing to several screens that had been interrupted, he said, ¡°At least we have already found quite a few guys who couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of the Beast Soul Warriors and surrendered.¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback by this, and then he understood.
It turns out that this time it was not only testing the trainees¡¯ ability to adapt and fight in actualbat, but also to gauge their bottom lines.
If they can¡¯t even resist a little bit of threat and temptation, the Association naturally won¡¯t waste resources training them.
However, would anyone really be taken in by such poor acting skills?
Bai Qi nced at Bai Yuxiao beside him, somewhat doubtful.
¡°Why do I feel like he¡¯s sneering at me¡¡±
Bai Yuxiao, who had been beaten to a pulp by his own dad, felt instinctively upset when he saw Bai Qi¡¯s gaze. But since his dad was present, he could only pretend not to see.
Soon, several other figures appeared, which naturally turned out to be Bai Qiucha and the others.
As elites, they naturally were able to see some clues, so they ended the battle early.
Of course, there were also those who were clueless.
¡°Huh? I didn¡¯t even start fighting yet, how could theye out already?¡±
Zhou Yan was still in an attacking position. Upon seeing the blood-red ghost in the sky that looked like Luo Xiang, he immediately pointed his spear at Luo Xiang and attacked.
¡°Beast Soul Warrior, die for thisdy!¡±
Bang!
Just at that moment, a figure fell from the sky and pressed Zhou Yan straight to the ground, with cursinging from her mouth.
¡°You¡¯re always talking about killing, where¡¯s the quality and the temperament that I taught you!¡±
If not the head instructor of this training, Leng Feifei, then who could it be with such a violent way of dealing with things?
¡°Teacher, I was wrong¡¡±
Zhou Yan looked up with a woebegone expression, his situation mirroring that of Bai Yuxiao.
Why do all thesebat enthusiasts like to beat people so much? Fortunately, they¡¯re beast masters. If they were beast soul warriors, wouldn¡¯t people die every day?
¡°Bai Qi, wasn¡¯t Yuxiao your opponent?¡±
As soon as Bai Qiucha returned, he noticed Bai Yuxiao, who was looking resentfully at Bai Qi, and asked in a whisper.
¡°Yes, it was him.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Right, you Bai Family really are rich and powerful. Howe everyone has formed a contract with a Dragon Department beast?¡±
Bai Qiuchaughed and said, ¡°We two are just lucky. My father and my second uncle happened to discover a Dragon Race secret realm before we were born, so both of us formed contracts with the Dragon Race.¡±
Well, having a good father is really awesome.
Although he was also quite good.
Bai Qi turned his head and began checking out the images on the wall with Luo Xiang.
All of these beast masters who were pretending to be beast soul warriors were soul race beast masters from the Association. They all disguised themselves, so apart from the first batch of people who came out, everyone else didn¡¯t notice anything and almost all of them chose to fight.
However, this also exposed many issues.
Lack of realbat experience, no intention to attack the beast masters proactively, being influenced by the words of the beast masters¡
At the very least, Bai Qi could see from the increasingly grim expressions on Bai Tongchen and Leng Feifei¡¯s faces that they were not very satisfied with the students¡¯ performance.
As for Luo Xiang, sorry, that ghastly face remained the same, without a hint of any anomaly.
Finally, when the battle on thest screen ended, the space once again returned to its prior white color, yet the number of students present had noticeably decreased.
Were they expelled because they couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of bing a Beast Soul Warrior?
Bai Qi thought of the red crosses that appeared on the screen earlier after agreeing to be a Beast Soul Warrior and he had already guessed the Association¡¯s decision.
Those students who passed also slowly figured out the Association¡¯s intent, both relieved and fearful.
If they had not been firm initially, wouldn¡¯t they have been expelled too?
Although they wouldn¡¯t be convicted, at least within the scope of the Association¡¯s power, it would be very difficult for them to make any progress.
Looking at all the thoughtful students, Leng Feifei finally stepped forward, looked around and said, ¡°Since you came to the headquarters, most of you have not received any training. Do you know why?¡±
¡°Because you are not worthy!¡±
¡°Anyone who doesn¡¯t meet physical strength, wilderness survival ability, team cooperation ability, and even willpower does not deserve to be called a Beast Master Association¡¯s Elite!¡±
¡°I can tell you in advance that in the next half a year, there will be more such training and assessments, and you could be expelled just like they were at any time.¡±
¡°So, if anyone wants to quit now, I will unconditionally allow it!¡±
After speaking, Leng Feifei stood aside without uttering another word, causing the arena topse into a long silence.
After who knows how long, a shaky hand was raised, saying, ¡°I want to quit.¡±
In the few days of limited training, he already discovered that he was among the worst. It was a coincidence that he just withstood the temptation of the ¡°Beast Soul Warrior¡±. If this urred a few more times, he would be unsure if he could resist.
Rather than leaving with a potential traitor¡¯s reputationter, it was better to resign from the tough situation now, at least in his original city he was still a genius.
¡°I quit, too.¡±
¡°Me, too.¡±
With someone taking the lead, the remaining students also expressed their wish to quit one after another. As Leng Feifei had said earlier, all of these requests were epted.
In a mere half-hour, the originally nearly a hundred students were reduced to just over sixty.
Looking at the still quiet group of students, Leng Feifei asked sharply, ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to quit?¡±
Silence.
¡°Good.¡±
A smile finally appeared on Leng Feifei¡¯s face, and she said, ¡°Congrattions, you have officially joined the Special Training Program.¡±
Upon hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s words, some students who still struggled internally were suddenly delighted, while Xiao Yuan, Bai Qi and others remained indifferent.
As the most elite batch in the Beast Master Association, there were definitely some assessments, not just a simple rmendation from the presidents of the branches.
However, they never expected it would be done in this way.
Leng Feifei snapped her fingers, and brand new uniforms and badges appeared in front of everyone. A long list suddenly appeared on the wall behind her, and at the top were Mythical Resources!
¡°Starting today, you are official members of the Special Training Program. Your actions in training, assessments, and even at headquarters will all be scored. The points you gain can be exchanged for the supplies you want at the Holy Relic Tower.¡±
¡°Light Spirit Holy Diamond? Twin Star Core?¡±
Bai Qi quickly found the two Mythical Materials he had reluctantly given up before, his eyes shining. However, after seeing the point requirement, he couldn¡¯t help but twitched at the corners of his eyes.
[Light Spirit Holy Diamond]: 99999 points
[Twin Star Core]: 99999 points
Bai Qi picked up his badge and injected a strand of spirit power into it, immediately seeing his own points.
Bai Qi: 1183
Well, not bad, just short of a bit.
¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking, so we¡¯ve set up a ranking system.¡±
¡°The first one can choose two Mythical Materials for free.¡±
¡°The second ce gets one, and the third ce, only has three Epic Materials.¡±
Leng Feifei grinned and said, ¡°So, work hard!¡±
After speaking, Leng Feifei vanished, and people like Bai Tongchen and Luo Xiang also left one after another. The huge space was quickly left with a group of students harboring mixed feelings.
¡°Phew-1 was saying that these Beast Soul Warriors were so hesitant, it was all fake, so disappointing.¡±
After Leng Feifei left, Zhou Yan finally returned to her usual self, after a slew ofints, she walked up to Bai Yuxiao and said, ¡°Yuxiao, how could you bear to return?¡±
Bai Yuxiao shrugged and said, ¡°I had no choice, I was captured by my dad after losing a bet.¡±
¡°Next, I will be training in the Special Training Program, Sister Yan, you¡¯ve got to cover for me!¡±
Bai Yuxiao ingratiatingly wooed Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan clearly enjoyed this treatment, patting her chest to indicate that she had epted this little brother.
¡°Are you sure this guy is really your cousin? This personality difference is a bit too much.¡±
After seeing Bai Yuxiao¡¯s performance, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask Bai Qiucha who was next to him.
¡°Yuxiao has been left on his own by my second uncle since childhood, he is a bit casual, but a good person.¡±
Bai Qiucha faintly smiled, then looked at Bai Qi and said, ¡°Now that the official training has begun, we are opponents!¡±
Bai Qi was startled, then he also showed a smile and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
The first ce could get two Mythical Materials, it seemed he would have to work hard¡.

The next day, all the students who had passed the selection process arrived in the assembly hall, dressed in their exclusive outfits.
This time, the scenario of leaving them hanging at the beginning didn¡¯t y out again. The six Tower Masters and six instructors were all there early, even Luo Xiang stood seriously behind several Tower Masters.
Seeing this, all the students also wiped the smiles off their faces and quickly fell into line.
Zhao Futu, looking at the sixty-odd students below, nodded and said, ¡°Congrattions once again on sessfully bing special trainees. From today onwards, you will receiveprehensive training from the six instructors. I believe it will be an unforgettable experience for you.¡±
Then, Zhao Futu nced at the other Tower Masters and said, ¡°By the way, we, the six Tower Masters, will invite some of you to join the Six Tower based on your performance going forward. So, please do give it your all.¡±
¡°Well then, I wish you all the best in your training.¡±
With that, Zhao Futu was the first to disappear, and the other five Tower Masters also left one after the other. They weren¡¯t keen to have a long conversation, but the students didn¡¯t mind.
All their attention was now focused on another matter.
Joining the Six Tower!
Seeing the six Tower Masters appearing together and thinking that they were going to listen to a long monologue from Zhao Futu, Bai Qi was taken aback. He quietly asked Bai Qiucha beside him, ¡°Is Chairman Zhao always so concise? Don¡¯t the other Tower Masters have anything to say?¡±
Bai Qi clearly remembered that on every school opening ceremony, the principal and a host of other leaders would take an hour or more to speak, not wrap things up as hastily as Zhao Futu.
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, ¡°The Chairman has always been like this. Moreover, didn¡¯t Instructor Leng say everything that needed to be said yesterday? The appearance of the six Tower Masters today was just a formality. They showed up for the official opening ceremony of the training.¡±
¡°After all, the six Tower Masters are all very busy.¡±
It seemed true.
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but think of how Xiang Li, the Master of the Holy Relic Tower, delegated the task of selecting legendary-level resources to someone else. They did indeed seem busy.
¡°I think my dad looks pretty idle¡¡±
Hearing their conversation, Bai Yuxiao suddenly chimed in. Bai Qi turned his head to look at him, only to see that Bai Yuxiao had turned his head away.
This fellow couldn¡¯t still be brooding over being defeated yesterday, could he?
¡°Ahem!¡±
Witnessing the students¡¯ animated discussions, Leng Feifei cleared her throat lightly, and the hall quieted down immediately, with everyone looking in Leng Feifei¡¯s direction.
¡°I know you are congratting yourselves for passing the test, but I must tell you, you won¡¯t think that way for long.¡±
Leng Feifei swept her gaze over the more than sixty remaining students and pointed at Luo Xiang and the others beside her, saying, ¡°There¡¯s no need for me to introduce myself. Now, let me introduce the instructors who will be training you for the next six months.¡±
¡°Luo Xiang, Master of the Sunrise Level, responsible for Rune Learning.¡±
¡°Zhang Shan, Master of the Sunrise Level, responsible for Combat Training.¡±
¡°Xiao Zhang, Master of the Sunrise Level, responsible for Resource Management.¡±
¡°Kong Huan, Master of the Sunrise Level, responsible for Ferocious Beast Theory.¡±
¡°Lv Lin, Master of the Sunrise Level, responsible for Beast Breeding.¡±
Leng Feifei paused, then added, ¡°Of course, each instructor has a different teaching style, so I hope you all prepare yourselves.¡±
As soon as Leng Feifei said this, everyone instinctively looked at Luo Xiang.
Indeed, he was supposed to be the instructor for Rune Learning, a theoretical subject, yet he had turned it into an escape room scenario. Was that something a normal person would do?
¡°Now, I will announce the official training rules.¡±
Leng Feifei nced at Zhang Shan, who immediately understood and pressed a button in his hand. A lengthy document was then projected onto the wall of the assembly hall.
¡°These are the rules you must follow during your training, even if you are fortunate enough to join the Six Tower after the screening.¡±
¡°Anyone who vites these will be sent directly to the Schizonepeta Tower.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the document, which was still scrolling, and saw that there were already hundreds of rules visible. Including the unseen part, there were probably more than a thousand.
So many rules, were they worried that the Schizonepeta Tower would be too quiet?
¡°Sister Zhou, have you memorized all of this?¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately shook her head and said, ¡°If I must memorize this, I¡¯d rather be locked up in the Schizonepeta Tower.¡±
Well, that was indeed her style.
After asking Zhou Yan, Bai Qi looked at Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao.
¡°Don¡¯t bother. I had memorized all these things by the time I was in third grade.¡±
Without waiting for Bai Qi to speak, Bai Yuxiao immediately sneered, ¡°Instead, you should hurry up and memorize them, or you¡¯ll be in for a rough time.¡±
This kid was really asking for a beating!
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly, ignoring Bai Yuxiao. Seeing the students starting to talk again, Leng Feifei immediately signaled for everyone to be quiet.
¡°There¡¯s no need to rush, you¡¯ll memorize them sooner orter. Let¡¯s start today¡¯s training.¡±
As soon as her words fell, the wooden door that seemed to connect to the various worlds opened again, revealing the familiar passage to all the students. Running again?
The students looked at each other, thinking that the official training would involve some special exercises. Were things still going to be like this?
¡°I should add that during the uing training, you¡¯re not allowed to carry any space-rted equipment. However, this doesn¡¯t include pets from the Space Department.¡±
As soon as Leng Feifei said this, everyone immediately turned to look at Bai Qi.
This rule was surely set against Bai Qi¡
It definitely was!
Thinking of how Bai Qi couldn¡¯t rely on the plethora of mechanical weapons stored in his Secret Realm Ring anymore to turn guerri warfare into a valley defense battle, a group of people led by Qiao Li and Ran Xu felt incredibly satisfied.
¡°No more bringing the Secret Realm Ring huh¡¡±
Bai Qi, upon hearing this, momentarily froze, naturally understanding the origin of the rule. He looked at the wooden door in a trance.
¡°Alright, everyone follow my moves, this time you can summon your pet beasts.¡±
Leng Feifei was the first to enter the wooden door, striding forward towards it, and Zhou Yan, seemingly aware of what would ur, directly attached Soul of the General to her body and followed her through.
Upon witnessing this scene, even though the students didn¡¯t understand the reasoning behind it, they imitated her actions, summoning their pet beasts.
Through the hardship of the past few days, it was clear that the instructor¡¯s words and instructions could not be ignored.
Like the Rune Dictionary, for instance.
The ability to summon pet beasts¡
Seeing everyone summoning their pet beasts conjured a strange smile on Bai Qi¡¯s face, as he directly summoned Alpha, then took out some materials and tools which mighte in handy from the Secret Realm Ring and stuffed them into Gamma.
¡°Gamma, remember, you can¡¯t eat these,¡± he said.
Crunch crunch¡
(But I am hungry¡)
Gamma seemed a little disappointed.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll get to eatter.¡±
Bai Qi patted the now nearly half his size Gamma, summoned out Alpha once again after giving it some thought, and then stepped through the wooden door.
¡°That works?¡±
Watching Bai Qi¡¯s actions, Bai Yuxiao, who had never seen Bai Qi¡¯s clever actions before, waspletely stunned. It was clear she didn¡¯t expect this kind of response.
¡°You¡¯ll get used to it.¡±
Bai Qiucha gave a wry smile, patted Bai Yuxiao on the shoulder, summoned the Bone Dragon, and followed them through.
Walking through the wooden door, Bai Qi instantly felt a heavier burden than before, causing him to stumble.
¡°The gravity is stronger this time.¡±
Seeing Zhou Yan who was also struggling to move forward, Bai Qi knew that Leng Feifei must have amplified the gravity. If he hadn¡¯t advanced to the third level, it would have been quite difficult for him.
Looking at the Beast Masters behind him who wereining and struggling, Bai Qi felt a little relieved.
It was a good thing that the Evolution Egg could enhance physical fitness, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to endure Leng Feifei¡¯s torment.
But Bai Qi still underestimated Leng Feifei. Not long after they started running, changes urred in the corridor.
The t ground suddenly became rugged and traps sprung up here and there. In just a few minutes, several people fell into traps and were eliminated.
With traps being set, ferocious beasts certainly weren¡¯tcking. The Bewitching Poison Bees that caused many people trouble before appeared from both sides of the corridor. Various spiders, snakes, and other venomous creatures crawled out from under their feet and attacked them.
¡°No wonder she asked us to summon our pet beasts, otherwise, we would have been sent to our deaths.¡±
Seeing various poisonous insects constantly emerging from the walls, Bai Qi immediately had Alpha clear the way with its dragon intimidation, and he closely followed behind.
Applying their pet beast¡¯s intimidation skills, the remaining students started to get a hold of the situation.
Those who didn¡¯t have a contract with lord-level beasts could only try to break through forcefully.
Nevertheless, some remained unaffected.
¡°I¡¯ll go ahead first.¡±
The moment Yuxiao entered the corridor, she activated her talent-Dematerialization.
The amplified gravity and the attacks of ferocious beasts all passed right through Yuxiao¡¯s body, leaving no impact whatsoever.
This fellow¡¯s talent is so overpowered!
Watching Yuxiao move as though on t ground through the corridor, Bai Qi and the others were filled with envy. Those beast masters who had the fusion gift or attached skill also followed suit, and their speed of advance increased dramatically.
Each and every one of them is way too much!
Bai Qi, watching the beast masters who were physically inferior to him, but who could merge with their beasts and quickly move away, couldn¡¯t help but grumble.
¡°Doesn¡¯t it just require a little creativity? I can do that too.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, sending amand to Alpha. Alpha¡¯s shape instantly changed, transforming into the shape of a sled.
Afterward, Bai Qi mounted Gamma on the chair of the sled, and had Alpha create a storage area at the back of it,pleting the luxurious padded sled.
¡°It seems like something is still missing¡¡±
Bai Qi, looking at the sled in front of him, pondered for a moment, then seeing the empty front of the sled, he suddenly understood.
Since it¡¯s a sled, how could it be without a sled dog¡.?
Chapter 145 - 144: Just Need a Shock
Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Just Need a Shock
Trantor: 549690339
It was the end of the passage.
Zhou Yan ran out of the passage, panting heavily. She immediately deactivated her ¡°Soul of the General¡± attached skill and copsed onto the ground without any grace.
Either the Fusion Talent or Attached Skill would drain physical energy, and this passage, in regards to both length and difficulty, far surpassed the previous ones. Therefore, running through this stretch had consumed even more energy than before.
However, Zhou Yan was indeed gifted. Her physical fitness far exceeded her peers, so she managed to recover after a short rest.
But this was not the case for the others.
¡°Lady Leng, isn¡¯t this passage too long? Who among us can make it to the end¡¡±
Bai Yuxiao, who had been rxed and cheerful when entering, was crawling out of the passage with an extremely pale face.
The Dematerialization Talent was useful, but it also drained physical strength considerably. And this time, Leng Feifei had obviously extended the length of the passage, so Bai Yuxiao began to falter halfway.
¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
Leng Feifei snorted coldly, pointing at the passage entrance. Following her direction, Bai Yuxiao saw a Double-headed Mechanical Wolf dragging a Crystal Bone Sled at high speed. Sitting on the sled was Bai Qi.
In contrast to Bai Yuxiao and the others¡¯ disheveled appearances, Bai Qi was utterly at ease.
The Ice Crystal Barrier paved the way, the Husky pulled the sled, the slime creature absorbed shock, and the Dragon scared off the ferocious beasts, all while holding a cup of chilled God¡¯s Water.
What was originally a grueling physical training turned into a fancy sledding activity by Bai Qi.
¡°Isn¡¯t this considered cheating?¡±
Bai Yuxiao watched Bai Qi approaching quickly with a dumbfounded expression and couldn¡¯t help but to make a snidement.
¡°Did I say you couldn¡¯t ride on the beasts?¡±
Leng Feifei said, ¡°It seems it was right for your dad to pull you out of the archaeological team. You¡¯re turning into a bookworm.¡±
Bai Yuxiao fell silent and Zhou Yan pursed her lips at the side, a loss for words.
Of course, she knew they could ride the beasts, but the passage was not very wide, and it frequently changed shape, normal riding beasts could never be as flexible as Bai Qi.
Soon, Bai Qi emerged from the passage, followed closely by Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan.
Compared to the previous two brutes, Bai Qiucha and the others appeared much more rxed, while Bai Qi seemed as energetic as if he were on vacation.
Woof Woof!
(Human, it was so much fun over there, should we go for another round?)
The equally excited one was Beta. Not only was it not upset about being used as a sledding dog, but it also seemed to have tapped into some kind of mechanism and was full of energy.
Finally, Schuck was busy revising blueprints, so if it was not going to goof off now, when would it?
Bai Qi patted Beta¡¯s head and said, ¡°No rush, you¡¯ll get your turn soon.¡±
Zhou Yan walked over to Bai Qi, looked at Alpha, which was reverting to its original form, and said, ¡°Bai Qi, do all students from your Mecha and Martial Arts department y like that?¡±
¡°Probably.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Indeed, the Mecha and Martial Arts Department did highly value creative skills, but mostly for ying with machinery. He was unsure if anyone else used undeads in this fashion.
¡°To be honest, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised at anything Bai Qi does now.¡±
Xiao Yuan had a high opinion of Bai Qi and suggested, ¡°How about we have a battle using our main pets soon?¡±
Although the Tower of Competition could bnce the Level of the beasts, matches under these restrictions were certainly not perfect. Xiao Yuan was eager to see just how strong Bai Qi¡¯s main pet could be.
¡°Uh, sure.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head. Didn¡¯t Cha say that Xiao Yuan was not much of a fighter? Why was he always challenging him to battles?
The remaining students gradually emerged from the passage, all worn out.
Dealing with gravity, traps, and various poison harassments had exhausted them, even with the help of their beasts. Not to mention that the passage was obviously extended. They were already outstanding just to have finished the run.
Leng Feifei looked around and said, ¡°Well done, running a suddenly altered track to the end. You have barely qualified in terms of physical fitness.¡±
But before the students could catch their breath, the next sentence from Leng Feifei plunged them into despair.
¡°But your wilderness survival skills are nearly all failing grades!¡±
Leng Feifei¡¯s expression was icy as she continued, ¡°As a Beast Master, you¡¯ll be spending most of your time in the wilderness in the future. Preserving enough strength to respond to sudden situations is a skill each Beast Master must master.¡±
¡°Do you think any of you still have fighting capabilities if you encounter ferocious beasts in your current state?¡±
The crowd fell silent upon hearing her words. Among all the people present, aside from Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan, who were rather good at conserving energy, the rest were practically depleted.
At least, it was highly unlikely that they could use their talents to assist their beasts in battle.
As for Bai Qi, he was tacitly ignored by them.
¡°So that¡¯s the case. I was wondering why my teacher always got me to run.¡±
Upon hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s words, Zhou Yan had an epiphany, making Bai Qi burst intoughter.
Lady, other people might not know, but aren¡¯t you Leng¡¯s student? Shouldn¡¯t you know better? Does this degree of being oblivious not get you kicked out of mentorship?
Seeing the thoughtful expressions of the crowd, Leng Feifei nodded in satisfaction andmanded, ¡°In that case, everyone turn back and run the way we came!¡±
¡°Considering that some people barely exerted any effort, let¡¯s make it twice as difficult.¡±
Upon Leng Feifei¡¯s words, everyone on the scene first blinked in surprise, then red angrily at Bai Qi.
They had barely managed the trip here, and now they were supposed to endure another round that was twice as hard, did she want to kill them?!
Spotting their expressions, Bai Qi, as the primary culprit of this situation, sheepishly smiled and without further ado, aimed a kick at husky and dashed toward the hallway.
Just when he thought that Leng Feifei would be a bit decent, she turned out to be a master of creating trouble as well-
¡°Huff¡I can¡¯t go on. I¡¯ve already run fiveps, will the tutor ever call it quits?¡±
Zhou Yan gave up on all forms of decorum and copsed onto the ground, clearly conveying her refusal to move.
¡°Sister Yan, you¡¯ve already done well enough, look at Gu Shan.¡±
Bai Qiucha, equally exhausted, pointed to Gu Shan, whoy copsed not far away in the hallway, breathing in less than he was exhaling and said, ¡°Looking at him, Instructor Leng will probably call a halt soon, pushing further could result in injury.¡±
Although the constitution of Beast Masters was far stronger than average, they couldn¡¯t stand up to Leng Feifei¡¯s high-intensity training. Those who were still holding on, numbered just a few of them.
¡°That is not necessarily the case. From what I know, the Moon Night Tower had prepared quite a few recuperation pods this morning, possibly in preparation for this.¡±
Xiao Yuan ran past both of them, delivering a piece of bad news.
¡°Moreover, isn¡¯t there someone still bouncing around over there?¡±
Xiao Yuan jerked his chin backward, and everyone turned to see Husky running at high speed, dragging the Crystal Bone Sled behind it. Its energy seemed inexhaustible.
Bai Qi stopped beside them, looked at Gu Shan who had crumbledpletely, and then turned to look at Zhou Yan and the others, whose physical strength had clearly been depleted, and asked, ¡°Eh, why did you guys stop running?¡± You¡¯d know if you ran in our ce!
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, even the strictly educated Bai Qiucha felt the impulse to beat him up. Just then, everyone felt their bodies go still, and the next moment, they found themselves inside the gathering hall.
¡°Morning training is temporarily over. Everyone, go and rest now. Be on time for the afternoon session.¡±
After giving her instructions, Leng Feifei turned and left, leaving behind students who couldn¡¯t help but bemoan their lot.
After enduring that exhaustive morning training, they wouldn¡¯t be able to make it if the afternoon session was just as brutal.
Just then, a Moon Night Tower healer walked over, summoned a Light Pink Butterfly, and had it make a round above their heads and the exhausted students instantly felt much better.
¡°Attention students, the recuperation pods are ready, please follow me.¡± ¡°Recuperation Pods?¡±
Bai Qi paused; he indeed had heard about this technology, but it had been shelved a long time ago due to the existence of healing beasts. He hadn¡¯t expected the association to actually revive it now?
Noticing Bai Qi¡¯s curiosity, Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and said, ¡°Though healing beasts are more effective than recuperation pods, the pods have the advantage when ites to mass production and general usage.¡±
¡°Moreover, these pods are designed by the Moon Night Tower bybining the advantages of beasts and science, and have miracle effects on physical recovery and injury repair ~¡±
¡°Physical Recovery?¡±
Apparently surprised at this, Bai Qi blinked, but Bai Yuxiao was quick to reassure him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you don¡¯t need it since not everyone can be aszy as you.¡±
Before her words had even died out, Bai Yuxiao noticed that Bai Qi, who was hitherto brimming with energy, started looking weak at an almost visible pace. In a moment¡¯s time, he seemed even more exaggerated than when he had disguised himself as a Beast Soul Warrior earlier.
¡°Alpha, help me to the recuperation pod¡¡±
After feeding Gamma four Silver Eggs in a row, Bai Qi felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, a sensation he hadn¡¯t experienced in a while spreading throughout his body. If it wasn¡¯t for Alpha supporting him, he would have fallen on the spot.
Seeing Bai Qi y weak so suddenly, Zhou Yan was visibly confused, ¡°This guy, does his fatiguee with a dy?¡±
¡°Must be some sort of Talent, I guess.¡±
The equally baffled Bai Qiucha shrugged and followed.
He too had exhausted much of his energy during the morning training and needed to recuperate properly.
Unlike the capsule-like structure that Bai Qi had imagined, the exterior of the Moon Night Tower¡¯s recuperation pods was cubical¡ªthe door, once closed, gave absolute privacy due to it being a sealed space.
Could these pods also be movable?
Bai Qi nced at the recuperation pods¡¯ bottom structure along with an independent nutrient solution filler and guessed that it might be designed for outdoor usage right from the start.
Under the guidance of a Moon Night Tower member, Bai Qi entered the recuperation pod¡ªand the first thing in sight was an insultingly designed iron chair.
¡°It looks a bit like an electric chair; did a guy named Yang design this thing?¡±
Bai Qi instinctively flinched, as an ominous saying by a famous ¡°educator¡± from his past life sprung into his mind.
¡°A little electrocution will do the trick¡.¡±
Chapter 146 - 145: The Name of the Butcher
Chapter 145: The Name of the Butcher
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Please change into the therapy suit and sit down, the treatment is about to begin.¡±
Seemingly aware that Bai Qi hadn¡¯t moved, a mechanical female voice immediately began guiding him.
Forget it, this kind of strange obsession should not have spread to the Other Realm.¡±
Guided by the system, Bai Qi changed into a therapy suit and sat down in the electric chair. Several mechanical arms instantly extended from the chair and rapidly connected to the gaps on his therapy suit, spreading a warm current throughout his entire body.
He thought to himself that the heritage of the Thunder and Lightning Dharma King couldn¡¯t possibly have spread to this world. Although it wasn¡¯t a reclining type, the final mode was still immersion in the Nutrient Solution for therapy.
Bai Qi was very satisfied as he felt his physical strength rapidly recovering.
He wondered if these therapy cabins were avable for sale. If he bought one and ced it in the Secret Realm, he didn¡¯t need to worry about exhausting his energy due to excessive use of the Evolution Egg.
The only thing he was unsure about was the battery life of the therapy cabin.
Just as this thought came to mind, Bai Qi, who had just regained some strength, immediately gave Gamma another egg. The green signal light on the therapy cabin immediately turned red.
¡°Huh? Is the machine broken?¡±
A female Beast Master from the Holy Relic Tower was taken aback. She immediately approached Bai Qi¡¯s therapy cabin and examined it for a long time, but she couldn¡¯t find any problems, other than the Nutrient Solution being consumed a bit too quickly.
The Nutrient Solution is being depleted faster than expected. Hmm, let me take note of it.¡±
The female Beast Master took out a notebook and meticulously recorded the change in the Nutrient Solution storage cabin. Just as she was about to leave, the instruction light that had just turned green immediately turned red again, and there was a drastic decrease in Nutrient Solution.
¡°Is it really broken?¡±
Seeing the abnormal state of the therapy cabin, the female Beast Master was immediately frantic, her eyes turning red as she clumsily tried to shut down the Nutrient Solution Cabin.
All the peopleing here were from specialized colleges and were the future elites of the Beast Master Association. If something went wrong due to a malfunction in the Nutrient Solution Cabin, she couldn¡¯t bear the responsibility.
Themotion caught the attention of Xiao Qi, who was in charge. He immediately rushed over and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
With a cry in her voice, the female Beast Master rubbed her eyes as she exined, ¡°I¡¯m not sure¡ It seems that there is an issue with this Nutrient Solution Cabin¡¯s health monitoring device. The consumption of Nutrient Solution is not right, I¡¡±
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Qi patted the female Beast Master¡¯s shoulder to reassure her, before operating on the monitoring screen.
¡°The data shows that there are no problems, and the user does indeed need replenishment. Who¡¯s in it?¡±
¡°I think his name is Bai Qi.¡±
The female Beast Master tilted her head and answered quickly.
¡°Bai Qi?¡±
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Qi was taken aback, before shaking his head in resignation.
This guy, always causing trouble wherever he goes. No wonder the six Tower Masters are so concerned about him.
¡°Keep a closer eye on this. If the Nutrient Solution runs out, just refill it.¡±
¡°Uh, alright!¡±
When she heard Xiao Qi¡¯s words, although still puzzled, the female Beast Master could onlyply.
¡°Phew. The things developed in the Moon Night Tower are indeed useful, despite the chair being a bit creepy. It would be better if it were reclining. ¡± Bai Qi walked out of the therapy cabin with a look of satisfaction. He casuallymented and was nning to ask about the purchase when he saw a crowd gathered around his cabin.
¡°Um, what are you all doing?¡±
¡°Do you know how long you¡¯ve been soaking in there?¡±
Zhou Yan looked Bai Qi up and down curiously, ¡°No wonder your beast is so
strong. Turns out you¡¯re so weak. I won¡¯t envy you anymore.¡±
¡°Rest assured, big sis understands.¡±
At Zhou Yan¡¯s words, Bai Yuxiao immediately nodded her head in agreement.
One person using up three bottles of Nutrient Solution, if that¡¯s not weakness what is?
You guys don¡¯t get it at all!
Seeing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched a moment. He finally understood why Bai Tongchen and Leng Feifei both liked beating up these two disciples of his.
There was no other reason, just that they were asking to be hit!
¡°Well, I also suggest that you should go to the Moon Night Tower for a check-up. After all, consuming so much Nutrient Solution is enough for a small beast¡¯s treatment.¡±
The female Beast Master, her face full of worry, carefully advised from the side.
Hmm. Thanks, but don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary. But can I ask, is this therapy cabin for sale?¡±
The Beast Mistress paused, then quickly understood what he was asking She exined regretfully, ¡°Sorry, this is not for sale, but during the specialized academy¡¯s training, you can use it anytime.¡±
Can¡¯t use it? Then should he just take advantage during training?
Seeing Bai Qi daydreaming again, Bai Qiucha, who had simrly suffered due to the Bone Dragon, couldn¡¯t help but worry, ¡°Bai Qi, why don¡¯t you skip the afternoon ss and rest well?¡±
I heard from Brother Luo that the afternoon ss is a Ferocious Beasts dissection lesson. Missing one ss shouldn¡¯t matter that much.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qiucha¡¯s words, Bai Qi¡¯s ears immediately perked up, ¡°What did you say the ss was?¡±
¡°Ferocious Beast Dissection?¡±
Bai Qiucha was startled. She took out the ss schedule and handed it to Bai Qi, ¡°Special training is almost every year taught by Instructor Xiao Zhang for resource processing, and basically, it¡¯s a fairly routine procedure. The first lesson is actually a demonstration, which we¡¯ll learn more aboutter.¡±
¡°Resource processing, Ferocious Beast dissection¡¡±
Bai Qi muttered under his breath. His eyes shone even brighter, and he even seemed somewhat excited.
This course fits so well with the Evolution Egg¡
¡°Well, I¡¯m in good shape now, so I shouldn¡¯t need to take a leave of absence,¡± Bai Qi stated as he looked around. ¡°When does our afternoon ss begin? I ¡® thinklneedtobebaptizedby knowledge.¡±
Bai Qiucha: ¡°¡¡±
Zhou Yan: ¡°¡¡±
Bai Yuxiao: ¡°¡¡±
In the afternoon.
For convenient teaching, the venue of the Resource Processing course was naturally set at the Holy Relic Tower. However, it wasn¡¯t the Materials Exchange Area that Bai Qi initially visited, but the handling area instead.
As thergest storage and processing point of the Beast Master Association, the dissection area was ingeniously designed. Apart from all the necessary tools, it hardly smelled odd.
¡°We¡¯re not going to have to dissect these ourselves today, are we?¡± Looking at the Giant w Rat corpses on every dissection table, Bai Yuxiao couldn¡¯t help but exim. Lu Qing, who had always kept her distance from such things, frowned at the sight and was already contemting leaving.
She was already a student at the Tower of Knowledge. Once she finished her training, she would naturally officially join the Tower of Knowledge. There was no need to learn this unless something unexpected urred.
¡°A Giant w Rat? I haven¡¯t handled one of these before.¡±
Bai Qi looked up and down at the Giant w Rat a few times, cing his hand on it. As expected, the Evolution Egg shook slightly.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Silver Egg 11.1%)
[Condition]: Activated
Although it was only a pitiful increase of 0.1%, it was still progress and it hadn¡¯t cost him anything. Bai Qi wasn¡¯t one to be choosy.
He wondered if they would switch to higher-level Ferocious Beast corpses in the future. If so, this process would be easy, right?
With this thought in mind, a slight smile appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face.
This smile wasn¡¯t particrly noticeable and wouldn¡¯t attract attention elsewhere. However, along with Bai Qi¡¯s current position and action, it made Zhou Yan and the others feel goosebumps crawling on their scalps, so they quietly distanced themselves from Bai Qi.
This guy is dangerous!
¡°Everyone¡¯s here?¡±
While everyone was curiously looking around, Xiao Zhang, boasting a lion-like hairstyle, finally arrivedte.
You¡¯ve probably heard that the first lesson of resource handling is inevitably Dissection.¡±
While Xiao Zhang was speaking, he put on a dissection suit, ¡°That¡¯s absolutely right, but this time I¡¯m not nning on demonstrating this lesson alone. Instead, I ask you to do it yourselves.¡±
As soon as Xiao Zhang announced this, an uproar immediately broke out in the lecture hall.
They were all capable of reaching third and fourth level, having killed beasts simr or stronger than the Giant w Rat. However, those were killed by their pets. Now, they¡¯re being asked to do it themselves, which was a bit difficult for them.
Xiao Zhang looked serious and said, ¡°I hope you understand that the more advanced the material is, the more it requires us Beast Masters to handle it personally, otherwise the different energies in the pet can easily impact the quality of the material.¡±
¡°Coach, can¡¯t we just bring the beast back and let the professionals process it?¡±
A student raised his opinion as soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking.
¡°No problem at all, but do you only hunt this kind of beast when you go into the wild? Or, if you encounter a giant species, do you n to carry it back too?¡± The student was silent. Indeed, not everyone could have something like a Secret Realm Ring, and Space Department pets were even rarer. If they encountered the situation Xiao Zhang mentioned, they really had no way to deal with it. ¡°Of course, if you encounter a giant species, even if you can process it, you probably can¡¯t handle it alone. So today¡¯s lesson mainly aims to teach you how to select and process the small and medium-sized pets.¡±
¡°I will show you once. You can follow along if you want, or watch the whole process first.¡±
Saying this, Xiao Zhang picked up a sharp short knife from the side, pointed at the sharp ws of the Giant w Rat, and said, ¡°The ws of the Giant w Rat are very hard and can easily be made into sharp tools with some simple processing. However, you need to remove its root joint to easily harvest it.¡± ¡°And the eyes of the Giant w Rat can be used to make¡¡±
¡°The skin can¡¡±
In this way, Xiao Zhang easily disintegrated a Giant w Rat into countless parts under the stunned gaze of a group of students, but aside from his gloves, there was no blood on him whatsoever.
¡°With such skill, I wonder how many beasts Coach Xiao Zhang has dissected,¡± Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
Familiarity breeds skill.
Taking off his dissection suit, Xiao Zhang said, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s the whole process of dismantling a Giant w Rat. You can start now. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.¡±
Coach, I¡¯m done with the dissection.¡±
Just as most people were thinking about how to make the first cut, a voice attracted everyone¡¯s attention.
¡°Oh?¡±
Xiao Zhang raised an eyebrow, walked over to Bai Qi following the voice. Looking at the neatly ced Giant w Rat parts on the dissection table, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
¡°Are you interested in joining our Holy Relic Tower?¡±
As soon as Xiao Zhang said this, there was an uproar. Everyone gathered around to check, and after seeing Bai Qi¡¯s work, they were all surprised.
¡°Is this guy really a mechanical and martial arts student? Or is he a butcher?¡±
Chapter 147 - 146: Gardener Dragon - Nicholas
Chapter 146: Gardener Dragon ¨C Nichs
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Join the Holy Relic Tower?¡±
Upon hearing Xiao Zhang¡¯s invitation, Bai Qi was somewhat tempted.
He had already confirmed that the Evolution Egg had the ability to acquire ferocious beast skills by fusing materials. If he joined the Holy Relic Tower, he would indeed have many more opportunities toe into contact with various kinds of materials.
Moreover, the Holy Relic Tower involved not only various types of resources but also various inheritances of treasures, which were rted to his rune studies.
However, looking at Yi Xiaowei¡¯s demeanor, the members of the Holy Relic Tower seemed to spend most of their time studying various resource materials, without much time to go out?
Seeing that Bai Qi seemed hesitant, Xiao Zhang didn¡¯t rush him, saying, ¡°You can think it over slowly, after all, there¡¯s still a lot of time for training. Perhaps, others might invite you too.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The benefits of the Six Towers were undoubtedly good, but as to which tower to join,parisons had to be made.
¡°Alright, the rest of you, continue with your dissections. If you have any questions, you can ask me.¡±
Xiao Zhang looked around and immediately urged the others to start dissecting. The original neat dissection room suddenly became bloody.
For courses one dislikes, time always seems to pass especially slowly.
After the dissection room turned into a ughterhouse, Xiao Zhang finally ended the dissection ss.
¡°Today¡¯s practical dissection hase to an end. Everyone take a ten-minute break. The next ss, I¡¯ll teach you the cultivation and maintenance of nt attribute resources.¡±
The cultivation and maintenance of nt attribute resources?
This resource processing ss is full of practical knowledge.
I wonder if there will be care methods for the Angel¡¯s Flower and Dragon Soul Grass. If there are, he could be self-sufficient.
¡°Bai Qi, you are really interested in this resource processing ss, aren¡¯t you tired?¡±
Zhou Yan massaged her somewhat sore shoulder and said, ¡°Even I¡¯m a bit overwhelmed, howe you¡¯re still so energetic?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the Giant w Rat on Zhou Yan¡¯s table, which had been virtually minced, and said, ¡°Cough, cough, not everyone can handle it as thoroughly as you, senior.¡±
The dissection knife was made of a special metal that could easily cut through the skin and flesh of the Giant w Rat, but it was somewhat tough to cut through bones.
But Zhou Yan had forcefully turned the dissection knife into a bone-chopping knife. Except for some parts that were really hard, most of them had been minced by Zhou Yan.
That was truly a massacre¡
¡°That¡¯s right. I was born with a unique physique. Do you think just anyone can use a skill like infusing with the Soul of the General?¡±
Zhou Yanpletely ignored the implication in Bai Qi¡¯s words, held her head up in a very arrogant manner, but suddenly noticed Lu Qing leaving with a stern face.
¡°Qing¡¯er, where are you going? The next ss will start soon.¡±
¡°Skipping ss.¡±
Lu Qing didn¡¯t turn her head back and left after throwing out her words, leaving Zhou Yan more confused.
¡°What happened to Qing¡¯er? It¡¯s not an inconvenient time, is it?¡±
¡°Cough, cough¡ Sister Yan, Sister Qing probably can¡¯t stand the environment here.¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at the dissecting table next to Zhou Yan. The Giant w Rat on it was still intact, the dissection tools hadn¡¯t moved at all, but the whole table was sttered with the rat¡¯s blood.
This table belonged to Lu Qing, and the blood naturally sshed over from Zhou Yan¡¯s side.
¡°I see¡ I¡¯ll take Qing¡¯er out more often. She¡¯s be timid from all this studying.¡±
Big sister, that¡¯s because your actions were too exaggerated.
Bai Yuxiao and others rolled their eyes, while Xiao Yuan came over to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi, are you really considering joining the Holy Relic Tower?¡±
Even though it was just the first day of formal training, Xiao Yuan didn¡¯t doubt that Bai Qi would receive invitations from the Six Tower Masters. The only difference was which one he would choose.
Bai Qi said, ¡°We¡¯ll see. There¡¯s still plenty of time.¡±
Xiao Yuan nodded and said, ¡°Yes, but you can also consider the Moon Night Tower when the timees. Although it¡¯s not as wealthy as the Holy Relic Tower, it does have some unique advantages.¡±
Is this an invitation to join the Moon Night Tower?
Bai Qi was taken aback, while Bai Qiucha exined, ¡°Master Xiao is Xiao Yuan¡¯s grandfather. He will basically develop towards the Moon Night Tower in the future. So, his invitation counts.¡±
Okay, another legendary second generation.
No, it¡¯s the third generation.
Bai Qi looked around and found that apart from Gu Shan, others around him were either legendary second generations or apprentices of some masters. There weren¡¯t many who were self-made.
No, he was patronized by Nichs, so he could be counted as a legendary second generation.
The ten-minute break quickly passed. Xiao Zhang appeared again with a thick book in his hand. His demeanor hadpletely changed from a crazed butcher to a genteel schr.
¡°Fellow students, next we will learn¡¡±
The day¡¯s sses finally ended, and all the students were exhausted. Some even went straight back to the healing cabins to replenish their strength.
¡°I thought dissection was troublesome, but it turns out that nt cultivation is even more so.¡±
Zhou Yan stretched and looked at Bai Qi and the others, who were about to disperse, and said, ¡°To celebrate the sessful conclusion of the first day of training, I invite you all to eat the specialty dish of Minghe Mansion, Braised Dragon Lion Head, how about it?¡±
Upon hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s words, Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s forget it. I don¡¯t think I¡¯11 be eating meat for a while.¡±
Although Xiao Zhang¡¯s cooking skills were indeed excellent, he couldn¡¯t stand the brutality of the students, especially Zhou Yan, who had issued the invitation. Her ¡°work¡± was bound to leave a mark on many people.
Xiao Yuan declined, and Li Mu, who had beening and going with Xiao Yuan, naturally did so as well. As for the brothers Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxiao, they ran away quickly.
¡°You¡¯re useless. Not enthusiastic about eating and mentally challenged; someone invites you to a meal, and you don¡¯t want to go,¡±
Zhou Yan said in despair, ¡°Bai Qi, Gu Shan, won¡¯t you go?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and replied, ¡°I have to visit the Green Dragon Secret Realm. I can¡¯t join you.¡±
After speaking, Bai Qi drew out the pendant of the Green Dragon Secret Realm and immediately disappeared from the location.
¡°Boring. Gu Shan, apany me for a meal!¡±
Zhou Yan smacked his lips, dragged Gu Shan, and walked off without noticing Gu Shan¡¯s hesitant expression.
If I refuse now, I¡¯ll probably be beaten to death¡
Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Just as Bai Qi entered the secret realm, he saw Nichs rushing toward him, which made his heart skip a beat.
Did this creature see something on TV and awaken its carnivorous instinct? Fortunately, Bai Qi¡¯s concern didn¡¯t materialize. Nichsid pitifully in front of Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, you finally arrived, this dragon was getting bored to death.¡±
¡°Bored? But I¡¯ve stored hundreds of TV shows in the holographic viewer!¡± Feeling embarrassed, Nichs scratched his head and pointed at the shattered holographic viewer, saying, ¡°Well, this dragon identally smashed the viewer while watching exciting scenes.¡±
¡°Could you give this dragon a durable recement?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched, thinking if televisions or projectors that could withstand an attack from a legendary giant dragon had even been invented yet.
¡°Durable ones might not be feasible. Next time I¡¯ll bring you a few extra ones.¡± Nichs nodded repeatedly, then rested his head on the ground, saying, ¡°Please hurry, I¡¯m dying of boredom.¡±
Brother, you¡¯ve been dormant for centuries, and now, after merely half a day without TV, you¡¯re exaggerating like this?
You¡¯ve adopted this decadence too quickly.
Bai Qi sighed helplessly. It¡¯s easier to transition from frugality to extravagance than vice versa, and surprisingly that even applied to a giant dragon.
He should probably introduce some high-ss hobbies to this creature.
Bai Qi took out a thick book from his bag and gave it to Nichs, saying, ¡°A custom TV will take some time to deliver. In the meantime, you can read this book.¡±
¡°Read?¡±
Nichs curiously pinched the book, which was smaller than him. He brought it close to his eyes, squinting, ¡°Can you get me a bigger book? The font size is too small. My eyes are straining.¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He had topromise for this legendary giant dragon. Everything had to be supersized.
Wait, legendary?
¡°Nichs, aren¡¯t you a legendary creature? You should be able to transform, right?¡±
Nichs looked at Bai Qi in confusion and asked, ¡°Transform? What¡¯s that?¡±
Riiight¡ Nichs is aplete nerd. How could he know about transforming?
¡°Why don¡¯t you give it a try? Imagine transforming into a human.¡±
¡°Imagine looking like a human?¡±
Nichs thought for a moment, nced at his colossal body, then looked at Bai
Qi, closed his eyes, and started emitting faint green lights.
Could it be working?
As the light from Nichs¡¯ body became increasingly bright, a sense of anticipation filled Bai Qi.
Finally, Nichs opened his eyes and looked at Bai Qi saying, ¡°It seems like it won¡¯t work!¡±
Bang!
Bai Qi stumbled and fell to the ground. It isn¡¯t a problem if it doesn¡¯t work, but there was no need to kick up such a fuss.
¡°Nevermind, if I can meet the Six Tower Masterster, I¡¯ll ask them.¡±
Bai Qi rubbed his temples, suddenly remembering the afternoon lesson, and asked, ¡°Are you interested in nts?¡±
¡°nts?¡±
Nichs nodded, ¡°We, the green dragons, love natural energy. Of course, we love nts.¡±
Listening to Nichs¡¯s affirmative reply, Bai Qi showed a grin, ¡°Then, should I relocate some nts that don¡¯t exist here? Aren¡¯t you nning to move to the valley?¡±
¡°Great! I¡¯m fed up with trees and grass here.¡±
Nichs nodded continuously. Bai Qi immediately relocated a few nt specimens like Angel¡¯s Flower from the secret realm.
¡°How do you find these? Although they may not be easy to grow, I will bring a greenhouse next time.¡±
¡°Why won¡¯t they survive?¡±
Nichs looked at Bai Qi curiously and spat on Angel¡¯s Flower. The previously wilted Angel¡¯s Flower started growing quickly, even producing Angel Fruits.
Jade Breath also can be used like this?
A smirk appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face as he patted Nichs, ¡°I¡¯ve decided, from now on, I¡¯ll call you Gardener Dragon Nichs.¡±
Chapter 148 - 147: The Evolution of Huskys Lord
Chapter 147: The Evolution of Husky¡¯s Lord
Trantor: 549690339
Once Bai Qi confirmed that Nichs could grow nts disregarding their environmental needs, he decisively transferred all the supplements from his secret realm to the valley within the Green Dragon Dreand.
Since Nichs had annihted the Poisonous Python Group and found the remains of his mother, he had been contemting moving.
However, he had been previously engrossed in soap operas and had not made a move. Now, under the pretext of gardening, he smoothly moved over.
¡°This should resolve the problem, and with the remains of his mother exerting an aura of draconic prestige, the poisonous gas outside won¡¯t seep in.¡±
Looking at the thriving supplements within the valley, Nichs nodded in satisfaction.
¡°Bai Qi, remember to bring more seeds for me next time. There is still plenty of space in the dragon valley.¡±
¡°No problem!¡±
That¡¯s exactly what I was waiting for.
Bai Qi, who had already considered Nichs his personal gardener, agreed decisively.
Getting a green dragon, who controlled the power of nature, to grow his supplements for him was an iparable luxury, even the Holy Relic Towercked this.
However, there were only two areas within the vast Green Dragon Secret Realm devoid of poisonous gas, and it seemed a waste. He had to keep an eye out for any nts that could disperse the toxins on his next trip out.
Right, he could also keep Gamma here when he didn¡¯t need it, both to purify the air and practice toxin resistance proficiency.
Tsk, the pace was perfect.
¡°If there¡¯s no thing else, I¡¯ll head back first and bring your new TV and seeds then.¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
Nichs carelessly waved a hand, lying quietly within the sea of flowers, evidently immersed in the realm of flora.
They say children are like nk tes, their development depends entirely on what is drawn on them.
In just a few days, Nichs turned from a homebody drawn to soap operas into a gardener.
The TV issue had to be held back at least, lest it deviated him again.
And he also had to reduce the interactions between Beta and Nichs.
Awo?
(Do I perceive someone bad-mouthing me behind my back?)
Within the Beast Control Space, the husky who was resting after frolicking in the morning suddenly raised its head, warily scanning its surroundings. Upon seeing that the Silver Egg of Gamma was still the only entity within the space, hey back down.
Tower of Competition.
Carrying Gamma with him, Bai Qi went straight to his dormitory after leaving the battle room. On the way, both students of special training and beast masters from the headquarters made way for him.
¡°This lunatic is back.¡±
¡°Hmph, apart from their special training, when have you ever seen him leave the Tower of Competition?¡±
¡°Seems so. Isn¡¯t this guy a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department? Why is he as fanatical as Zhou Yan and the others regardingpetitions¡¡± ¡°Who said Mechanical Engineering Department students should all be nerdy? And don¡¯t you know that three towers have extended invites to him?¡±
¡°Really, which three?¡±
¡°The Holy Relic Tower, Moon Night Tower, and naturally, the Tower of Competition. Recently, I heard that the Schizonepeta Tower also has some ns, but not sure if it¡¯s true.¡±
¡°Did he ept?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure, why don¡¯t you ask him?¡±
¡°I will pass.¡±
Madman ¨C another nickname for Bai Qi after Butcher.
The cause was due to Bai Qi¡¯s frequent visits to the Tower of Competition for the sake of training Poison Devouring Monster¡¯s (Gamma) resistance, especially selecting the most adverse environmental conditions for the battles.
Furthermore, Bai Qi never discerned opponents, whether someone actively challenged him, was randomly matched, or was just conveniently grabbed on his way.
All he cared for was battles, always using that same Poison Devouring Monster.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Level]: Second Stage, Do
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Race Skills]: Energy Absorption (Awakened), Mimicry (Perfect), Corrosion (Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Perfect), Current Resistance (Perfect), Frozen Resistance (Perfect), me Resistance (Perfect), zing Resistance (Mastered), Cutting Resistance (Mastered), Shadow Resistance (Mastered), Radiation Resistance (Proficient), Deadly Poison Aura (Proficient).
[Energy Value]: 32,000
[Condition]: Evolvable
After two weeks of frenziedpetitions and evolving, Gamma¡¯s progress was significant. Apart from advancing to the second stage, the other highlight was attaining perfect mastery in half of his skills.
The greatest gain, naturally, was Energy Absorption.
After consulting with Luo Xiang, Bai Qi came to know that the publicly released beast skill proficiencies by the Federation were notplete.
Above the seemingly top-tier Perfect level, there existed another realm called Awakened. As the name suggests, upon entering the Awakened realm, the beast¡¯s skill had a certain percentage of evolving into a higher level skill. Even if it didn¡¯t evolve, its foundational power would significantly strengthen.
Of the three pets, Bai Qi was extremely interested in what skills Gamma could evolve, for he was the only one to have upgraded his skills to an awakened state. This was also one of the reasons why he recently became so obsessed withpetition.
Nevertheless, Bai Qi didn¡¯t n to continue today.
It wasn¡¯t that he was bored, but rather he had more important things to keep him busy.
Husky was evolving to Lord Level.
In order not to waste the top-grade Etherium Liquid Gold for the Mechanical Beast, Schuck hadpletely blocked out all external information and devoted himself to designing. He had onlye up with the final draft three days ago andpleted the modification today.
Now, Bai Qi had to use the Evolution Egg to fully merge the Etherium Liquid Gold with Husky.
¡°I wonder what kind of super skills Schuck Beta would acquire?¡±
Green Dragon Secret Realm.
In thest two weeks, not only did Bai Qi harvest a lot, but Nichs too had an extremely fulfilling time. Using the seeds brought by Bai Qi, Nichs not only transformed the entire valley into a sea of flowers but also nted a circle of Tiger Orchids around the valley to absorb the surrounding poisonous gas.
He hadpletely fallen in love with nting. On the contrary, he¡¯d lost interest in the soap operas and games he used to be obsessed with.
Nichs looked around, content with his masterpiece. He found afortable position and was about to take a nap when he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the space.
¡°Bai Qi, why are you here?¡±
He lifted his head and saw Bai Qi suddenly appearing in the center of the valley. Nichs asked him this.
¡°Ineedyour help.¡±
¡°Help? No problem. Your business is my business, Bai Qi. So long as it¡¯s not a fight with those legendary creatures, anything else goes.¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes. If it was a fight with those characters, not to mention you not daring, even if you dared, it would be useless.
¡°Remember you told me that your Jade Breath can freely strip or grant the target Life Force?¡±
Nichs nodded, ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s not Life Force per se, strictly speaking. It¡¯s power of nature. Life force is that of the Red Dragon.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care. As long as it can replenish health.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand indifferently, ¡°Can Jade Breath be used on humans?¡±
¡°It can, but I¡¯ve never tried.¡±
Nichs was stunned for a moment, ¡°Have you lost the will to live, Bai Qi? Why are you thinking like this?¡±
¡°You¡¯ve lost the will to live. Just keep an eye on my situation. If anything unusual happens, rescue me.¡±
¡°Oh ¡I see.¡±
Nichs nodded as if he understood but actually didn¡¯t. He afterward looked at Bai Qi solemnly.
Bai Qi was his only friend, and he would never sit by and watch him in trouble.
Seeing that Nichs understood his idea, Bai Qi summoned Husky.
Thanks to the fluid malleability of Etherium Liquid Gold, there was no sign of beetles on Schuck¡¯s mechanical half body, seamlessly connecting with the other half of flesh and blood.
If it weren¡¯t for the metallic sheen reflected by Etherium Liquid Gold from time to time, one would not realize that this was a mechanical beast.
Bai Qi squatted down and asked, ¡°Schuck, Beta, are you ready?¡±
Woof Woof!
(Hurry up, I can¡¯t wait to beat up that stinky bone!)
¡°At present, all the mechanical archives that we can bear have been memorized by Etherium Liquid Gold, and the nano-robots have beenpletely injected. The rest is up to your Beast Control, Beast Master.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, put his hands on Husky¡¯s two skulls, and then couldn¡¯t help but remind Nichs, ¡°I¡¯m starting. Remember to be prepared.¡±
¡°Rest assured, I, Nichs, have it under control.¡±Seeing Nichs¡¯s solemn vow, Bai Qi suddenly felt a little nervous for some inexplicable reason. After thinking, he also summoned Alpha to stand by with the injection next.
¡°Well, let¡¯s get started, then!¡±
Bai Qi took a deep breath, then activated the Evolution Egg.
Just like when Alpha evolved, as soon as the silver liquid appeared, Bai Qi¡¯s physical and mental strength were all drained.
However, while he nearly faintedst time, this time although he copsed, his consciousness was still quite clear.
But he can¡¯t hold up for too long, though.
¡°Nichs, hurry!¡±
Feeling his body getting weaker and weaker, Bai Qi summoned up hisst strength to shout, only then did Nichs react. He opened his mouth wide and began to brew Jade Breath.
Before that, Alpha had already given Bai Qi an injection to sustain his life first, and then put some distance between them. The Jade Breath wasingte.
Despite losing most signs of Undead Creatures due to transformation into Crystal Dragon Bone, Alpha¡¯s essence remained unchanged. The Jade Breath, which was full of powerful vitality, was undoubtedly a deadly poison for him.
However, it was a good thing for Bai Qi.
As soon as he was covered by Jade Breath, Bai Qi felt his lost physical strength and spirit power replenished instantly, and the Silver Egg was formed in an instant too.
Those leaking out Jade Power didn¡¯t dissipate but subtly strengthened Bai Qi¡¯s constitution.
He thought using dragon breath to strengthen his body; perhaps he was the only one in this world, right?
It should be, at least in this era.
Chapter 149 - 148: War Apostle
Chapter 148: War Apostle
Trantor: 549690339
Feeling the increasing vitality within his body, Bai Qi instantly felt a spark of excitement.
The Evolution Egg required physical and mental energy, and the Jade Breath swiftly replenished his strength. With both powering him, wouldn¡¯t his fitness level be pushed to its current maximum in no time?
As long as he casually captured hundreds of pets and filled up his progress, Bai Qi felt that he could be a Legend before the end of the training camp!
Just as he thought, he acted.
Bai Qi looked at the Silver Egg of the Husky, ensuring that everything was alright, before also putting one on Alpha. He then followed the principle of not wasting anything and immediately put on a few more.
Just as Bai Qi had anticipated, the vitality depleted by the Evolution Egg was instantly replenished by the Jade Breath. He could feel a surge of unprecedented power flowing within him, providing a thrilling sensation.
At this moment, Bai Qi wanted to shout out, ¡°I am invincible, do whatever you want!¡±
Just then, Nichs suddenly stopped.
Bai Qi, who was relishing the quick enhancement of his physical condition, looked at Nichs somewhat discontentedly and asked, ¡°Why did you stop?¡±
Nichs copsed on the ground with no semnce of dignity, then grabbed some nutritional supplements and stuffed them in his mouth. ¡°You think using a Super Skill is easy? I need to control the intensity of the energy to avoid killing you. I¡¯m not doing this tiring work ever again,¡± he said.
Hearing Nichs¡¯ exnation, Bai Qi slightly pursed his lips in disdain.
The young dragons of nowadayscked a hardworking and patient spirit. It was just a Super Skill; Alpha used it daily as if it was no big deal.
tter?
(¡°Master, it seems you have misunderstood something.¡±)
As the vitality brought by the Jade Breath slowly permeated within him and the invincible feeling gradually faded, the aftereffects of mental exhaustion became evident.
He had almost forgotten that the Silver Egg used mental energy as well. The consumption might not be as severe as the physical depletion, but with him being immersed in the rapid improvement of his physical state, he had not noticed it. But now that he had calmed down, something felt off.
Bai Qi ate two Angel Fruits to temporarily alleviate the feeling of emptiness due to the depletion of his mental energy. He then sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
Whether it was the Angel Fruit or any other nutritional supplement and potion sold in the market, it could only directly regenerate physical energy. As for regenerating mental energy, they could only elerate the recovery. The replenishment effect, if there was any, was minuscule.
After all, this wasn¡¯t a game where one could go around the world just by relying on health and mana potions.
Hmm, it seemed he would have to find a pet that could replenish mental energy.
It seemed like the Blue Dragon in the Dragon Race ranked highly on the mental power scale, right?
Four hours swiftly passed by, and a crack appeared precisely on time on the Silver Egg of the Husky. Bai Qi immediately stopped meditating and fixed his eyes on the Silver Egg.
The fissure expanded, and dazzling Evolution Light spilled out from it. It was apanied by a series of thundering and volcanic eruption-like rumbling sounds, which quickly turned into melodious wolf howls. Bai Qi felt his heart pound uncontrobly, to the point where he wished he could immediately engage in a fight.
At that moment, countless pieces of information once again entered Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Skill Name]: Demonic Roar
[Skill Level): High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Skill of Thunder, me, Spirit. It has the roar of Thunder and the ze Intimidation that can impose deterrence on the enemy, remove the negative state of its own spirit, and temporarily boost its fight power.
[Skill Name]: Thunder me Power
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Skill of Thunder, me. Itbined the destructive power of Thunder Power with the sting ability of st Power to possess the purest destructive power. The best defense is a good offense.
Wow, was there even a war cry skill?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes glistened. Although the Demonic Roar from Husky was a variant of the deterrence type of skills, just like Alfa¡¯s dragon prestige, it was far superior in functionality.
Even though the deterrence ability might not be as powerful andprehensive as Dragon Prestige, it could remove negative mental states. Furthermore, it could boostbat power temporarily. This was an absolute army buff.
If he encountered a Beast Master like Gu Shan who could summon double the number of pets, while partnering with this skill, wouldn¡¯t they be invincible inbat!
He just wasn¡¯t sure if it would have a counterproductive effect on Alpha. After all, it seemed like both Thunderbolt and st were quite counterproductive to the Undead Department.
After going through the Demonic Roar¡¯s information, Bai Qi saw the Thunder me Power and suddenly felt somewhat disinterested.n
Originally, the Husky had already mastered these two powers. Combining these two pure distractive skills would certainly raise their power. However,pared to Demonic Roar, it still was not asprehensive.
Crack!
The Silver Egg split open, revealing arge hole. A silvery-grey fluid flowed out of the egg, passing by Bai Qi as if it had a life of its own before spreading rapidly to the surroundings.
¡°My flowers!¡±
Seeing this, Nichs instantly screamed out in pain and was just about to stop the silvery-grey fluid when the fluid suddenly changed direction, streaming up into the air and solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Bai Qi had a feeling of what was happening, and the information that entered his mind once again proved him right.
[Skill Name]: Mechanical Lord
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Skill of Mechanical, able to mimic any mechanical creation freely.
The exnation was simple and sinct. It seemed as if this wasn¡¯t even a Super Skill. However, Bai Qi was delighted.
To freely mimic any mechanical creation, was, of course, the ability brought about by Etherium Liquid Gold. It certainly had to do with the fact that Husky had memorized arge number of mechanical blueprints in advance. However, this was not the main value of this skill.
One man was an army!
With this skill, Husky could thoroughly break free from the limitations of a Mechanical Beast: the stronger it was, therger its size. As long as Husky was willing, it could switch freely between various weapons, and judging by the current situation, it seemed it could solidify several small turrets at once without any problem.
Only, when using this skill in future battles, he mustn¡¯t allow Beta to take control.
Watching the giant double-headed wolf statue gradually form overhead, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the sight.
This kind of action, it had to be the work of that fool Beta, no one else could¡¯ve done this.
Howl¡
Finally, behind a melodious howl, the Silver Eggpletely cracked open, and a towering double-headed giant wolf slowly emerged.
Nearly four meters in length, its silver-gray body shimmering with a metallic luster, red and blue energy currents asionally shing across its body. There was no longer any trace of the Arctic Ice Wolf.
Seeing Husky¡¯s transformation, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Have you guys fully transformed into the Mechanical Species?¡±
¡°Not exactly, we just thought it looked cool.¡±
Um¡
Is this the rational wolf, Schuck, that I know?
¡°If you, Beast Master, don¡¯t like it, I can retract it.¡±
Seeing the surprise on Bai Qi¡¯s face, Schuck quickly retrieved the Etherium Liquid Gold covering his whole body, revealing Husky¡¯s signature ck and white fur.
Um, because of the evolution to Lord level, its original forelimbs have been restored?
Probably also due to the Evolution Egg.
Looking at the Husky in front of him, who now, except for an additional metallic wolf head, bore very little difference from the Arctic Ice Wolf, Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°From now on, keep this shape unless in battle.¡±
Although the Mechanical Wolf looked cool, it was a bit too cold.
After all, if you want to pet a dog, it should be warm and furry.
However, for battle, having a metallic body does have some advantages, at least considerably increasing the defence capabilities.
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Human, where¡¯s that smelly bone? I want to have a go at it!)
Beta, who had also regained consciousness, was clearly eager to get moving, constantly looking for Alpha.
Bai Qi pointed at Alpha, who was draped with five Silver Eggs, and said, ¡°Wait. It hasn¡¯t finished hatching.¡±
Howl!
(Aha, this stinky bone must be hiding because it sensed my strength!)
Seeing Beta¡¯s smug face, Bai Qi was speechless. He then ced both hands on Husky¡¯s two skulls.
[Name]: ??? (Schuck, Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Species, Wolf Species (Spiritual Mutation)
[Growth Level]: Third tier, Level 2
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Perception (Mid-Level, Awakened), Mechanical Lord (Super Level, Proficient), Demonic Roar (High Level, Beginner), Thunder me Power (High Level, Master), Soul Whisper (High Level, Master)
[Energy Value]: 2348000
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡°There¡¯s still no race name¡¡±
Bai Qi squinted at Husky¡¯s increasingly streamlined skill bar.
The original st Strengthening and st w are gone, which he expected having integrated into Thunder me Power.
As for Current Resistance, Etherium Liquid Gold had substantial resistance to various energies, probably absorbed by the Mechanical Lord.
However, the Perception skill brought him some surprise.
¡°Did it just awaken like this?¡±
Bai Qi smiled, pleased. While the skills were scarce, they were the essence.
Just one Mechanical Lord was enough for Husky to operate. Paired with Demonic Roar and Thunder me Power, it would be a reliable damage dealer.
Bai Qi estimated that if it came to pure damage output, Alpha may not be a match for Husky now.
That silly dog, it finally stood firm!
Bai Qi patted Husky¡¯s head and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s a fresh evolution again, let¡¯s give you another name.¡±
Woof woof?
(A new name? I¡¯ve thought of one
¡°Shut up!¡±
Bai Qi elegantly Ignored Beta¡¯s words, pondered for a moment, and said, ¡°One Man Army¡ well, let¡¯s call you War Apostle!¡±
Woof woof?
(Apostle? I refuse! It sounds like a henchman¡¯s name!)
Schuck sighed, looked at Bai Qi, and said, ¡°War Apostle, Beast Master, your ambition seems a bit grand¡¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°It¡¯s fair enough, the Mechanical Species originated from war, didn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°It seems so.¡±
Schuck nodded. The double-headed wolf sculpture on his head turned back into a liquid and quickly flowed back onto Schuck¡¯s body, but the volume did not change much.
¡°The extension is good, but who knows how it holds up in actualbat.¡±
Bai Qi nced unconsciously at the lounging Nichs by his side, and then at Alpha, who was still hatching, and had no choice but to suppress his urge to test Husky.
He would have to wait until tomorrow to find someone else for a trial run¡

Chapter 149: The Lone Brave

The next day.
The assembly hall.
Zhou Yan looked around and still didn¡¯t spot Bai Qi. She grumbled, ¡°This Bai Qi hasn¡¯t been seen since yesterday afternoon. Where on earth has he run off to?¡±
Bai Qiucha exined, ¡°He must have gone to the Green Dragon Secret Realm. After all, Sir Nichs seemed to be only willing tomunicate with Bai Qi at present.¡±
Every legendary creature was a considerable wealth for the Federation. To avoid offending Nichs, the association hadn¡¯t appointed anyone other than Bai Qi to make contact.
Seeing Zhou Yan in such a state, a smirk appeared on Bai Yuxiao¡¯s face, saying, ¡°Sister Yan, are you worrying about Bai Qi? Could it be¡ Ouch!¡±
¡°Such a young age, and look what¡¯s going on inside your head.¡±
Zhou Yan gave Bai Yuxiao a hefty punch and said resolutely, ¡°I arranged a duel with him in the afternoon. But damn, I waited all afternoon and he never showed up. If I ever run into him again, I¡¯m going togivehim what for!¡±
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanughed, ¡°Speaking of this, Bai Qi promised to have a duel with me using main pets, but he hasn¡¯t kept his word yet. I suffered quite a blow from being ignored by the new ¡®madman¡¯ of the Tower of Competition.¡±
¡°New? Who¡¯s the old one?¡±
Zhou Yan was stunned and asked curiously.
¡°Who else could it be but you?¡±
Lu Qing suddenly spoke up from the side, then directly ignored Zhou Yan¡¯s furious expression, saying, ¡°Today is Teacher Zhang¡¯s ss. I suggest you all stop chatting.¡±
After saying that, Lu Qing pushed up his sses and walked away.
¡°Is the ice-cold guying today again?¡±
Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but shudder, obviously a bit apprehensive.
Inparison, Zhang Shan¡¯s practical ss was moderate, unlike Xiao Zhang who frequently dissected ferocious beasts or Luo Xiang who kept causing trouble.
However, the Schizonepeta Tower he served and his icy demeanor made Zhou Yan feel cold, even if he was just standing there.
¡°A notice camest night. The Number tes Battle will start today for three days.¡±
Normally reticent, Gu Shan suddenly spoke up when he heard Zhou Yan asking.
¡°The Number tes Battle?¡±
Zhou Yan was taken aback, then showed a sinister smile. She patted Gu Shan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Gu Shan, haven¡¯t you always wanted to defeat Bai Qi? Now¡¯s your chance to show the results of your training. Don¡¯t worry, with your lord here, you won¡¯t have any problems!¡±
¡°Yes, boss!¡±
Gu Shan nodded repeatedly, like a loyal follower. Li Mu beside him also seemed a bit excited, but quickly subdued his emotions.
Unless he surpasses Bai Qi in runes, defeating Bai Qi in a fight wouldn¡¯t mean anything!
¡°Huh, you all arrived quite early!¡±
Just then, Bai Qi finally arrivedte. He came up to the group, asking, ¡°What are you guys discussing?¡±
¡°Nothing, just nning how to beat you upter.¡±
Zhou Yan wore a mischievous smile, pulling Gu Shan towards her and saying, ¡°This time, you might have to fight alone.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, then saw Bai Qiucha being led away by Bai Yuxiao, and finally realized.
¡°Is it the Number tes Battle today again?¡±
Xiao Yuan nodded, ¡°Yes, given the time duration, Teacher Zhang should have put a lot of ferocious beasts in there. You¡¯d better form a team early.¡±
¡°Uh, thanks.¡±
Ever since Bai Qi locked down an area, except for the association banning spatial treasures, the special training students had developed a good habit.
Sticking together.
Leng Feifei appreciated this behavior, after all Beast Masters had to stick together to survive in the wild.
However, Zhang Shan disagreed because the Number tes Battle was meant to train the students¡¯ individual fighting and survival skills. Although sticking together was important, it could significantly affect the quality of his sses.
Therefore, by weighing the two, Zhang Shan made a small concession, allowing the students to form pairs.
Of course, in response, he also slightly increased the number of ferocious beasts in the secret realm.
But it seemed like he had been abandoned now.
There was no need to consider Xiao Yuan and Li Mu, the best buds. Zhou Yan seemed to have attached herself to Gu Shan, and Bai Qiucha was dragged away by Bai Yuxiao.
So, his remaining option was¡
Lu Qing?
Bai Qi looked at Lu Qing not far away, and imagining the two of them working together gave him the chills.
Forget it, he would get annoyed to death even if he wasn¡¯t killed by the ferocious beasts.
Besides, who said fighting alone was definitely a disadvantage? Being a solo warrior was quite impressive.
¡°Everyone, listen carefully to today¡¯s task.¡±
Zhang Shan walked into the assembly hall on time, and went straight to the point without any superfluous words.
¡°This time it¡¯s the Number tes Battle as usual, the scoring system remains basically unchanged, but the number tes won¡¯t be handed out to individuals ¨C you have to get them from the ferocious beasts.¡±
Zhang Shan pointed to the badge on his chest, ¡°After you enter the secret realm, I¡¯ll tell you your unique number through the badge. Everyone needs to find at least one number te with their number, otherwise their scores will be invalid.¡±
¡°The time allotted is three days. I will bring you all back at the exact time.¡±
¡°Now, everyone get ready to enter the secret realm.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shan opened the random door, indicating everyone to enter.
¡°The difficulty has increased quite a bit this time¡¡±
Receiving the number after entering the secret realm practically meant nobody could target anyone in advance, and even after entering the secret realm, it would be hard to identify targets.
Moreover, the task required finding one¡¯s own number te, obtained from ferocious beasts, but with only a three-day time limit. It was clearly designed to force everyone to act independently.
Apletely transparent scheme.
Quietly, Bai Qi gave Zhang Shan a thumbs-up. This frosty man might strictly adhere to all the rules and top-down instructions on the surface, but he wasn¡¯t devoid of cunning.
It suddenly became clear why Luo Xiang got along with Zhang Shan. These two were fundamentally the same.
Seemingly discerning Bai Qi¡¯s sinister judgment, Zhang Shan sharply turned around and coldly rebuked, ¡°Bai Qi, quickly enter the secret realm, or else you¡¯ll be marked as skipping ss.¡±
¡°Alright!¡±
Bai Qi nodded and strode into the random portal.
After Bai Qi left, Luo Xiang popped up from somewhere, staring at the images that kept appearing on the screen and saying somewhat speechlessly, ¡°Another number te war. Can¡¯t youe up with something new?¡±
Zhang Shan said, ¡°Data prove that the number te wars are the best way to train Beast Masters¡¯ abilities to fight independently in the wild. Why change?¡±
Luo Xiang sighed helplessly and said, ¡°You are so stubborn, no wonder those kids call you the frosty man. You¡¯re ¡®purely¡¯ scary.¡±
¡°What are you doing here? You shouldn¡¯t have a ss today, should you?¡±
Luo Xiang replied, ¡°The Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm has encountered some issuestely, the association asked me to check it out, so you might have to take over my sses.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡±
¡°No problem, just supervise self-study.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
Zhang Shan nodded, his gaze never leaving the screen. Only after confirming all the students were in ce, he began to transmit the numbers to the students¡¯ badges.
¡°Tsk, seems like he¡¯s also ying some new tricks.¡±
Seeing Zhang Shan¡¯s operation, Luo Xiang took some interest and asked, ¡°You¡¯ve even engraved the number on the beast¡¯s skin. That¡¯s good. Any other hiding ces?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°What do you mean ¡®no¡¯?¡±
¡°It means literally¡ªjust this one number te.¡±
¡°¡ A student worth teaching indeed!¡±
Once again, the world spun around him, and Bai Qi found himself on the grasnd, faint footsteps echoing in the distance.
After two weeks of training, all the students had developed the habit of quickly finding a safe ce to hide uponnding. No longer were there any rookies who would just start a fight.
Hum, hum¡
Soon, Bai Qi felt a humming in the badge on his chest, and a number was emitted.
¡°Number 1? I don¡¯t have to be 13 again.¡±
Bai Qi was quite satisfied with his te number this time. Just as he was about to check the location, he heard a rustling noise from the bush not far away.
Ferocious beasts!
And there are quite a few!
A silver array flickered, and Husky was summoned in an instant. It sniffed the scent of the ferocious beasts almost immediately
Awooo, awooo¡
(Human, we are surrounded by ferocious beasts, and there are quite a few¡)
¡°I see, I¡¯m not blind.¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, observing the wolf pack that had surrounded them. He said, ¡°Perfect, let¡¯s try out your new abilities!¡±
¡°Roger.¡±
Schuck responded coolly, his body immersing with silver Ethereal Flowing Gold in an instant. It continued to spread under his feet, quickly forming a massive circr tform.
Around the tform, several towers formed rapidly, with a strong Thunder me Power condensing at the mouth of the cannons, firmly locking onto the wolf pack.
¡°All targets have been locked. Shall I kill?¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
As he finished speaking, dozens of Thunder me Powers poured out,pletely engulfing the wolves. When the Thunder me Power dissipated, the grasnd within tens of meters around him had been transformed into a site of destruction.
As for the wolf pack, they were no longer existent, not even a trace remained.
This Thunder me Power, it¡¯s quite powerful!
Bai Qi, who initially had no interest in the Thunder me, instantly changed his perspective.
He hadn¡¯t expected thebination of the Mechanical Lord and Thunder me Power to be so powerful. He had been wrong before.
However, he felt like he didn¡¯t have much to do with this¡
Awooo! Awooo!
(In this world, no one can stop this doggo¡¯s progress!)
Beta, feeling stronger than ever before, was exhrated beyond belief, even holding his head a bit higher.
¡°Stop showing off, if anyone should, it should be Schuck.¡±
Bai Qinded a punch on Beta¡¯s head. Seeing the disturbance caused by the previous attack on the grasnd, he smiled slightly.
Since the cannons were fired, there was no need for stealth anymore, right?
¡°Schuck, turn me into¡¡±
Chapter 151 - 150: The Phoenix Myth of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken
Chapter 150: The Phoenix Myth of the Grass Cutter me Chicken
Trantor: 549690339
The Secret Grasnds.
Gu Shan peeked out from behind arge tree, cautiously observing a gargantuan creature sleeping on another tree not far away.
[Name]: Grass Cutter me Chicken
[Nature]: Fire attribute
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Growth Level]: Four Stage Nine Level
[Description]: Mythically said to possess phoenix blood, can freely control fiery mes, but dislikes hot ces, prefers living in lush greenery.
A Four Stage Nine Level High-grade Lord, definitely not something he could deal with, regardless of how powerful his Elemental Resonance might be, it couldn¡¯t make up for such a huge disparity.
However, he had no ns of taking it on himself.
Around Gu Shan, behind trees, a few silhouettes could vaguely be seen, all of them targeting the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
Coo?
Perhaps sensing the gaze of humans, the grass cutter me chicken, which was sound asleep, suddenly stood up to assess its surroundings, revealing clearly the number disyed on its foot to everyone.
Number 1.
After two days time, most of the students finally got over it, realising that the number in this contest was only one.
Meaning, only one person would be able to pass this exam.
Because of this, understanding the truth, all the Beast Masters formed pacts with each other to maintain distance, in hopes of being the first to find the ferocious beast associated with Number 1.
Yet, upon seeing the grass cutter me chicken in front of them, whose size and strength were far beyond their imagination, almost everyone chose to wait. Helpless, they simply couldn¡¯t win against it!
¡°Qiao Li, are we just going to sit here and wait?¡±
Ran Xu, who was already rather impatient with waiting, watched the Grass Cutter me Chicken that had once again fallen into a deep sleep and couldn¡¯t help but itch impatiently to take action. Qiao Li at his side, rolled his eyes in response, ¡°You go if you want, anyways I admit that I can¡¯t do it.¡±
¡°But what if someone takes the first shot? If we fail this and incur the wrath of Instructor Leng, the points deduction can be quite serious.¡±
The training camp worked on a points system. During the training period, the instructors and the Six Tower Masters would score the students¡¯ actions.
And it was not just about adding points.
In Luo¡¯s words, our special training never deducts points, at most it adds negative points.
However, up to now, most instructors gave them positive points, the only exception being Zhang Shan.
Making too many unnecessary movements during realbat was a reason for point deduction.
Choosing the wrong tactic, point deduction.
Not immediately confirming the safety of the surroundings in the secret realm, point deduction.
Many students at one point spected that Zhang Shan was dispatched by the association to suppress their points, preventing them from exchanging points for mythical materials.
This idea only reached the stage of spection and was abruptly ended before any further developments could take ce.
The reason was quite simple.
Cowardliness¡
¡°There are more than sixty people fighting for one number te. Even if points get deducted, there are plenty of people who¡¯ll be in the same boat. What¡¯s there to worry about?¡±
Qiao Li said, ¡°If my guess is correct, Instructor Zhang Shan probably wants us to cooperate and jointly bring down this grass cutter me chicken, and then score us based on our performance in the fight.¡±
¡°Cooperate? Doesn¡¯t Instructor Zhang hate cooperation the most? I heard thatst time he even argued with Instructor Leng over this issue.¡±
Ran Xu raised a question, and Qiao Li simply shrugged nonchntly, ¡°That¡¯s why I said it¡¯s a guess. What else do you n to do? Have a one-on-one fight with the me chicken and then deal with the others?¡±
¡°Uh, nevermind.¡±
Ran Xu was left speechless. Leaving aside the issue of taking on the me chicken alone, if it came to dealing with those freaks, he would rather ept the point deduction.
Just then, there was movement in the surroundings. A female knight riding on a pegasus emerged from the tops of the trees, charging straight towards the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
Who else could it be if not Zhou Yan?
¡°Roast chicken, obediently be this fortress master¡¯s side dish!¡±
Clearly, Zhou Yan was still immersed in role-ying, showing no sign of awareness that she wasunching a surprise attack, and began yelling before she even got close.
Coo, coo!
Awakened by Zhou Yan¡¯s yell, the Grass Cutter me Chicken that was about to drift off to sleep was suddenly startled awake, letting out a furious call. With a violent p of its wings, a terrifying wave of intense heat instantly swept across several hundred meters around it.
Although Zhou Yan was fully prepared, the red me of the Grass Cutter me Chicken countered the cold me of the undead, forcing her to withdraw.
¡°What did this big sister do to reach Stage Four and still be such a loose cannon?¡±
Looking at her own hair, which was slightly curled due to the high temperature, Bai Yuxiao couldn¡¯t help butment. Then, she immediately entered the state of dematerialization.
Your head can be broken, your blood can flow, but your hair cannot be without oil.
The hairstyle that was just done yesterday couldn¡¯t be ruined.
As for whether using such a talent might be somewhat wasteful?
Heh ¨C
A talent that can¡¯t protect the hairstyle, what¡¯s the use of him!
Looking at the two utterly contrasting fools, Bai Qiucha couldn¡¯t resist sighing in exasperation. ¡°Never mind, let¡¯s go too, this big guy isn¡¯t that easy to deal with.¡±
¡°Right, dragging this out forever isn¡¯t an option either.¡±
Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement. Seeing the Grass Cutter me Chicken, entirely enveloped in fiery mes, he said wryly, ¡°Li Mu, you¡¯d better handle this one. This fellow is too much for me, it¡¯spletely restraining my ability. I¡¯ll provide support.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Li Mu nodded, the rune array shed in front of him, and a Ground Dragonpletely enveloped in steel armor appeared instantly, charging towards the Grass Cutter me Chicken without hesitation.
[Name]: Sand Land Dragon
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Introduction]: The Ground Dragon species can draw upon the power of the earth to fight, strong in both attack and defense. However, due to its destructive environmental impact, causing desertification, it has been hunted by humans and its numbers have declined drastically.
As soon as Sand Land Dragon entered the field, everyone felt the ground shake beneath them. The Grass Cutter me Chicken immediately changed targets, spewing a scorching me at the Sand Land Dragon that instantly charred trees and earth everywhere it passed.
¡°Sand Land Dragon, use Sandstorm!¡±
Seeing this, Li Mu didn¡¯t panic at all. He calmly gave an order, and the Sand Land Dragon immediately raised its forelimb and smashed heavily into the ground. The previously thrivingnd instantaneously turned into shifting sand, which then swept towards the blistering me like a wave.
However, Li Mu had clearly underestimated the heat at the base of the me. The sandstorm only blocked it for a moment before the me melted a hole through it. The Grass Cutter me Chicken then broke through the wall of sand and charged towards the Sand Land Dragon.
¡°Damn it, don¡¯tyou dare ignore me!¡±
Seeing himself disregarded by the Grass Cutter me Chicken, Zhou Yan¡¯s forehead veins were bulging. His Soul of the General expanded instantly, wrapping up the remaining Pegasus.
¡°Prepare to meet your maker!¡±
Zhou Yan, enveloped in a cold me, channeled all his strength into his spear, targeting the back of the Grass Cutter me Chicken¡¯s head. Seizing the moment when Grass Cutter me Chicken was distracted, Sand Land Dragon charged straight at it.
Cluck cluck!
Just as their attacks were about to hit the Grass Cutter me Chicken, the chicken pped its wings and vaulted from the ground, forcefully evading the two attacks. It shot its sharp ws straight at Zhou Yan and the Sand Land Dragon.
Whoosh!
ng!
Just then, a white figure shed past, pulling Zhou Yan away from the Grass Cutter me Chicken¡¯s ws. A protective shield also appeared above the head of the Sand Land Dragon, but it only served as a momentary deterrent before the chicken¡¯s ws shattered it, leaving three deep wounds on the dragon¡¯s body.
¡°Besides its ability to control red mes, the ws of the Grass Cutter me Chicken are as sharp as the most advanced cutting machine in the Mechanical Engineering Department. You two are literally asking for death, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses. A Mechanical System Elf made entirely of crystals sat quietly on her shoulder with its hands extended.
Unsurprisingly, the protective shield had been produced by it.
[Name]: Mechanical Girl ¨C Crystal
[Nature]: Crystal n, Mechanical System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Eighth level
[ Introduction]: This is a special creature from the Era of the Law Emperor, made from crystalline mechanical workings. It was unearthed from a secret territory by the Beast Master Association ten years ago.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Having been assisted by the girl he liked, Li Mu was obviously a bit embarrassed, but still expressed his gratitude. Xiao Yuan, standing next to him, patted Li Mu¡¯ s shoulder to show his understanding and summoned a nt attribute pet to start treating the injuries of the Sand Land Dragon.
Even though they hadn¡¯ t been able topletely block the attack, they had managed to deflect the Grass Cutter me Chicken¡¯s w strike. Otherwise, the Sand Land Dragon would¡¯ve suffered much more damage than it already had.
Lu Qing simply nodded when she heard him. Gazing at the now enraged Grass Cutter me Chicken, she said, ¡°The Grass Cutter me Chicken¡¯s ranged and melee attacks are both strong, but its defense is weak. Try to stick with ranged attacks and wear it out as soon as possible.¡±
¡°Bai Qiucha, we might have to rely on you.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, put Zhou Yan down, deactivated the Skeleton Armor and the Bone Dragon immediately returned to its massive form, blowing a breath of dragon fire at the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
The Grass Cutter me Chicken apparently realized the Bone Dragon¡¯s power and countered with its own mes, causing a stalemate to ensue.
¡°They both use the same cold me, but Brother Cha¡¯s Bone Dragon is definitely stronger.¡±
Seeing the Bone Dragon effortlessly holding off the Grass Cutter me Chicken, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but admire.
¡°Brother Cha¡¯s Skeleton Dragon is an Emperor-level bloodline creature after all. Even though Brother Cha¡¯s Spirit Master talent suppresses it to the Lord Level, its true nature remains the same.¡±
Still maintaining his state of dematerialization, Bai Yuxiao climbed onto the Ghost Dragon and said, ¡°Since cold mes work, let me try to help a bit too!¡±
His Ghost Dragon had been found in the same secret territory as Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon. Except Bai Qiucha¡¯s Dragon retained its original strength, whereas the Ghost Dragon was only at the Lord Level.
However, he was content.
After all, not everyone could make a pact with an Emperor-level bloodline creature and survive the ordeal.
¡°Right, let¡¯s all go together.¡±
Zhou Yan and Li Mu, having regrouped and adjusted their strategy, prepared to attack again, while Lu Qing and Xiao Yuan took every chance to assist them.
Facing this multi-pronged attack, the Grass Cutter me Chicken gradually lost its previous dominance, and when Gu Shan and other third-stage Beast Masters also joined, things became increasingly difficult for the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
Cluck cluck!
As an entity on the verge of advancing to the fifth stage, how could the Grass Cutter me Chicken bear this humiliation? It let out a growl, its body suddenly erupted in three-foot-high mes, followed by a dazzling glow of evolution.
¡°This is¡ a second-stage evolution?! Is the legend true that the Grass Cutter me Chicken can evolve into a phoenix?¡±

dinner tonight.
Trantor: 549690339
Upon seeing the changes in the Grass Cutter me Chicken, the expressions of
Bai Qiucha and the others changed instantly.
¡°We must prevent it from evolving, or even if it only evolves into a low-level
Monarch, we won¡¯t stand a chance.1
Bai Qiucha¡¯s face turned serious, and aplex Rune Mark appeared on his forehead. It looked somewhat simr to the one Bai Yuxiao had used to deceive Bai Qi, but it was obviously more intricate.
¡°Brother Cha, can you handle the power of the next stage of the Bone Dragon?¡± Bai Yuxiao¡¯s face changed upon seeing this, and she hurriedly tried to stop him. Xiao Yuan, who seemed to know something, said, ¡°You haven¡¯t been a Four Stage Beast Master for very long, it¡¯s better not to do this. After all, this is just training. If there is an ident, the coach won¡¯t just sit idly by.
Bai Qjucha shookhis head, ¡°I know, but I¡¯ve also trained hard these days.
Moreover, it¡¯s not a full unsealing, I should be able to bear it.¡±
After saying this, Bai Qjucha continued to stimte his talent, and the aura on the Skeleton Dragon¡¯s body also rapidly increased, sweeping the entire field with a king-like aura.
Almost simultaneously, all the students felt an indescribable fear from their
respective beasts.
The aura of a king, terrifying indeed!
Watching Bai Qjucha¡¯s appearance, Xiao Yuan wasted no more words,
¡°Everyone, use all of your power to interrupt the evolution of the Grass Cutter
me Chicken!¡±
Upon hearing this, everyone activated their talents and went all out attacking
the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
However, the state of the Grass Cutter me Chicken was obviously extraordinary at this time. Its body was wrapped in a zing me that could even burn energy, and the attack of the crowd couldn¡¯t even make a dent.
Ultimately, their levels were simply too low. Even with a few Four Stage Beast Masters present, the gap in levels was great.
Now, their only hope was Bai Qjucha.
Boom!
At this moment, a column of blue-red energy flew in from the distance, instantly engulfing the Grass Cutter me Chicken, followed by a shocking boom that reached everyone¡¯s ears.
¡°Thunder me Power, Gu Shan?¡±
Zhou Yan turned his head to look at Gu Shan. When he saw the thundercloud looming above Gu Shan¡¯s head, he was stunned.
If it wasn¡¯t Gu Shan, who else could integrate the Thunder me Power?
¡°1 think I have an idea who it is.¡±
Just as everyone was puzzled, Xiao Yuan suddenly thought of something. He looked in the direction of the sound, and when he saw the silver-grey Wolf Tank slowly appearing in his sight, he confirmed his guess.
¡°Could it be, Bai Qj?¡±
Spectating Bai Qjucha, who had been interrupted in his unsealing process by the Thunder me Power, was surprised to see the appearance of a tank in the grassy secret realm ¨C a weapon of war that should have been impossible to bring in. He also thought of a certain person.
¡°Who else could have done something like this?¡±
Xiao Yuan nced at the disappearing light of evolution above the Grass Cutter
me Chicken¡¯s head, a look of surprise shed in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, the highest level among Bai Qi¡¯s three beasts was
only at the third stage, right?
Such a powerful impact, could it be a super skill?
Under the curious eyes of everyone, the silver-gray tank finally arrived in front of everyone. Bai Qj then popped his head out of the hatch.
¡°Where¡¯s that chicken? Did it run away?¡±
Bai Qj looked around but could not find the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
¡°It should be burnt to a crisp.¡±
Zhou Yan replied woodenly, then suddenly came to a realization, ¡°Bai Qi, you jerk, the only code was on that chicken. Now that it¡¯s turned to ash, what do we do?¡±
¡°Uh, if I say that just now wasn¡¯t me, would you believe me?
Seeing the resentful looks from the others, Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment. Just as he was about toe up with an excuse, the Grass Cutter me Chicken, thought to have turned to ashes by everyone, suddenly burst forth from the ground, its roar echoing through the sky, and the scarlet me on its body was slowly beginning to change into gold.
¡°Its evolution is not over yet, what are you all dawdling around for?
The always vignt Lu Qing coldly said, maneuvering a robot girl to attack the Grass Cutter me Chicken. However, the robot girl was mainly used for assistance, and these attacks were like a drop in the bucket for the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
¡°Damn, even that kind of attack cannot interrupt its evolution? It seems that
the legend of the Phoenix Bloodline is true.¡±
Bai Qjucha¡¯s face fell, and looking at the wound on the Grass Cutter me Chicken¡¯s body that was slowly being healed by the golden me, he was certain that it must have acquired the Phoenix Bloodline.
In this way, even if the Grass Cutter me Chicken had notpletely evolved, with this healing ability, unless they killed it with a single strike, any attack would be wasted.
After all, the huge energy value difference between the levels of the beasts was
a fact. Cycle fighting had no use.
If it wasn¡¯t for this, why would the Federation care so much about the cultivation and recruitment of legendary creatures? The reasonid here.
It looks like I have to use that move. I¡¯ll probably have to stay in bed for a while afterward.
Looking at the Grass Cutter me Chicken recovering its injuries, Xiao Yuan weighed his options and asked Bai Qi, ¡°Bai Qi, how many more times can you use that skill you just used?¡±
¡°Only for a short while, any more and I would run out of energy.¡±
Xiao Yuan nodded, ¡°Good, we will attract the attention of the Grass Cutter me Chicken. You seize the opportunity, try to see if you can kill it with one strike. Otherwise, if it drags us into a war of attrition, we will have to risk Cha using his power.¡±
¡°Considering the coach has yet to interrupt the game, it seems he intends for us to try and defeat this guy. Even if we fail, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems.¡± Bai Qi understood, and looking at the Beast Masters around him who were still attacking in an attempt to dy the Grass Cutter me Chicken¡¯s recovery, he said, ¡°So in short, as long as I attack it with greater force than its healing speed, it should work, right?¡±
Xiao Yuan paused, ¡°That¡¯s correct, but¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s all I need to know.¡±
Before Xiao Yuan could finish, Bai Qi had once again crawled back into the tank.
¡°Bai Qi, don¡¯t be reckless, wait for us¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi about tounch an attack, Xiao Yuan hurried to stop him, only to see the wolf-headed tank begin to contort like liquid, barrel after barrel extending from it, quickly transforming into a fort full of gun holes.
And that was not all, after the barrels took shape,plicated runes slowly surfaced, soon covering the entire fort.
¡°What the hell is this thing! I¡¯m getting the creeps!¡±
Bai Yuxiao stared at the war fort, goosebumps covering his body.
¡°Mechanical Engineering Department, could this be Bai Qi¡¯s Double-headed Wolf?¡±
Gu Shan was the first to react, immediately associating the scenario with the most probable situation. Just as the others were about to object, they saw the giant wolf-head cannon appearing on the top of the fort and closed their mouths.
It really was that idiot¡
¡°Beta, Demonic Roar.¡±
Awoooo awoooo¡
(Understood, listen to my melody¡)
A melodious chorus of howls passed by, Bai Qiucha and the others felt their spirits lift, as their pets showed significant increases in both their attack power and frequency.
Group strengthening skill?
Bai Qiucha and the others exchanged nces, but did not waste the opportunity, ordering their pets to attack at full force.
¡°Schuck, lock the target.¡±
¡°Target locked, Thunder me Power charging¡¡±
¡°Thunder me Power chargingplete, ready to fire.¡±
Seeing the Grass Cutter me Chicken sense something was off and struggling to rid the others¡¯ entanglement, Bai Qi grinned.
¡°Everyone get out of the way, I won¡¯t be held responsible for any deaths or injuries!¡±
Upon hearing this, the crowd hesitated for a moment before choosing to retreat without hesitation upon seeing the grimacing mechanical behemoth behind them.
Cluck cluck cluck cluck!
The Grass Cutter me Chicken, having rid the others, gave a crow and flew toward the Husky, wrapped in gold mes, clearly aiming to stop Bai Qi¡¯s actions.
¡°Sorry, but you¡¯re too slow.¡±
Bai Qi pressed on the button in front of him, and the wolf-head cannon at the top immediately fired a hefty shock wave, pushing the Grass Cutter me Chicken onto the ground. Before the me Chicken could resist, the fort began to rumble, streams of Thunder me Power like free money sprayed out from the gun holes all over the fort,pletely covering the area within several tens of meters of the Grass Cutter me Chicken.
¡°Gu Shan, are you still thinking of challenging Bai Qi?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t thinkl¡¯m sick.¡±
Zhou Yan and Gu Shan exchanged nces, temporarily abandoning the idea of challenging Bai Qi. Meanwhile, Ran Xu and Qiao Li gave up on avenging their past humiliation entirely.
How should they feel about Bai Qi bringing in the Secret Realm Ring that seemed a little normal at least¡
Luckily the fire coverage did notst too long, and about half a minuteter the fort fell silent. By then, the Grass Cutter me Chicken had turned into a roast chicken and lost all signs of life.
However, the fort also lost its solid state and turned into a pool of liquid that slowly retracted. Subsequently, the Husky copsed listlessly onto the ground, with no hint of desire to move.
Bai Qi got down from the Husky in silence, saying: ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to save a little energy? Over two million energy units were depleted all at once, have you forgotten the hardship Alpha had? And¡¡±
In response to Bai Qi¡¯s reprimand, the Husky had no intention of refuting. At this point, it waspletely out of it.
Awoooo¡
(I think I saw an olddy waving at me¡)
¡°Energy depleted excessively, entering temporary hibernation¡¡± ¡°So, this is what you meant by ¡®a short while¡¯. I m the fool. Xiao Yuan approached Bai Qi with a bitter smile on his face. All his attention had been on the Grass Cutter me Chicken, and he had not noticed the issue in Bai Qi¡¯s words.
Instead of once or twice, but a short while, are the skills being calcted by time now?
¡°Although runic amplification was used, the energy consumed just now was at least over two million, right Bai Qi?¡±
Lu Qing nced at the data disyed on the sses and stirred up rare ripples in his eyes when looking at Bai Qi. Meanwhile, Li Mu, who also noticed this, secretly clenched his teeth.
Following the current trend, would he be no match for Bai Qi in realbat? Upon hearing Lu Qing¡¯s words, Zhou Yan rushed over to grab Bai Qi by his cor, shouting, ¡°Over two million? Bai Qi, what did you feed your pet to make it so plump?!¡±
¡°Exactly, my Ghost Dragon has nowhere near this much energy, you better give us the secret form, or you won¡¯t leave here upright today!¡±
Bai Yuxiao also stared at Bai Qi menacingly; if Bai Qi dared utter a single word of refusal, he would definitely storm Bai Qi with a flurry of punches.
Surrounded by a group of shrewd eyes, Bai Qi also broke out into a cold sweat, and pointed to the Grass Cutter me Chicken, now emanating a roasted aroma.
¡°That, how about we have chicken first?¡±

Trantor: 549690339 |
The Secret Meadows.
Underneath thend, washed by the Mechanical Lord, traces of residual Thunder me Power could still be seen flowing. Clearly, it would be impossible for it to restore itself in a short time.
Slightly away on the grasnds, Bai Qi and his team were relishing their roasted chicken.
Zhou Yan swiftly tore off a piece of roasted chicken and took a big bite, saying, ¡°As expected of a chicken about to evolve into a King-level, this taste, this texture, I don¡¯t think I will be able to eat any other chicken after this.¡±
¡°The energy owned by high-grade Lord Creatures far surpasses that of Elite Creatures. If you don¡¯t want to die of overeating, you should continue eating like this.¡±
Lu Qing unexpectedly tossed in her opinion, tore off a small chunk of chicken to eat, then wiped her mouth and told Bai Qi, ¡°I¡¯m full, thanks for the treat.¡±
¡°Um, you¡¯re wee.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged lightly, not worried about the situation mentioned by Lu Qing at all.
Overnutrition?
He quipped.
Ever since he got the Evolution Egg, he only worried he might die suddenly one day, but he had never concerned about dying from overeating.
Of course, what Lu Qing said was not wrong. So most of them stopped eating when they felt full and only tore some off for their pets to eat.
Although consuming the meat of the Grass Cutter me Chicken wouldn¡¯t make any significant difference, it could certainly replenish the energy they spent in the previous battle.
Woof! Woof!
(This chicken is great, Bai Qi, let¡¯s eat this every day from now on!)
As the main battle force annihting the Grass Cutter me Chicken, Husky naturally received the biggest chunk.
¡°Eating high-grade Lord Creature every day? You think this is a chicken bought from the market¡¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes. Since starting the training, they had eaten a lot of low- level Elite Creatures. High-grade Lord, they could only fantasize about that.
Um¡They could consider that once they leveled up in the future.
¡°Bai Qi, here you go.¡±
Bai Qiucha handed a chicken foot marked with a No.lbel to Bai Qi. Xiao Yuan and others were not taken aback by Bai Qiucha¡¯s action. They seemed to have epted it.
During the recent battle, Husky had shown superior power to other creatures at the same stage, and even more advanced.
Although Xiao Yuan and several others were one level above Bai Qi, they admitted that they only had higher energy values; achieving an explosive output like Husky was challenging for them.
Moreover, this beast was his secondary pet!
¡°Well, then I won¡¯t be polite.¡±
Bai Qi took the chicken foot from Bai Qiucha. The Grass Cutter me Chicken was indeed about to evolve into a King-level creature. Despite being bombarded crazily by Husky, it just turned into a roast chicken. These chicken feet were not damaged at all.
ording to the description given by Bai Qiucha and others, the sharpness of these chicken feet was also terrifying.
Hard and sharp, they seemedpatible with Alpha¡¯s giant sword.
Bai Qi put away the chicken foot of the Grass Cutter me Chicken, nning to let Alpha absorb itter.
¡°But wouldn¡¯t the Iceberg guy reim this thing?¡±
¡°Anything you gain during the training period is your own harvest. The Association will not reim it.¡±
Just as Bai Qi muttered softly, a cold, emotionless machine-like voice came from behind him. He jumped up from the ground and greeted, ¡°Good day, Instructor!¡±
Zhang Shan nodded silently, gazing at the almost devoured body of the Grass Cutter me Chicken behind Bai Qi, said, ¡°All of you performed well this time. Even in the face of contingency, you didn¡¯t lose yourposure, and chose the right response. You have all initially qualified to survive in the wild.¡±
Hearing Zhang Shan¡¯s words, everyone fell silent, staring nkly at Zhang Shan, unable to believe their own ears.
¡°Qiao Li, am I insane or did the Ic¡ Instructor Zhang just praise us?¡±
¡°You¡¯re probably not, or else I might be too.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Zhang Shan in surprise too. Since Zhang Shan took up the teaching post, he had always pointed out their mistakes. He had never praised them. And today, he changed his tune?
There must be something fishy!
Sure enough, before everyone could recover, Zhang Shan made a series of critiques about their behavior.
¡°Zhou Yan, when you knew that the enemy¡¯s power was higher than yours, but you weren¡¯t sure about theirbat skill, you stillunched a close-up attack. Do you think you have the physical body of Legendary Creatures?¡±
¡°Bai Yuxiao, your talent for Dematerialization should be the most suitable for harassing the Grass Cutter me Chicken. Why didn¡¯t you utilize your advantage?¡±
¡°Gu Shan, even though you¡¯re the lowest in level, you could have inflicted significant damage to the Grass Cutter me Chicken through Elemental Resonance. Why were you so hesitant?¡±
¡°Bai Qiucha, the Skeleton Dragon is the most powerful among all your beasts. Why did you risk unsealing it and give up your advantage?¡±
¡°Xiao Yuan, you also¡¡±
Why¡Why¡
A series of questioning made the young Beast Masters, who were a little happy just now, fell into a low mood. They wanted to retort, but on second thought, it seemed to be the case.
Soon, Bai Qi was the only Beast Master left in the field who hadn¡¯t been pointed out by Zhang Shan.
After all, the Grass Cutter me Chicken was defeated by Bai Qi. Zhang Shan should have no ce to nitpick, right?
But Zhang Shan indeed deserved his reputation for his impartial, hard-line stance. After a pause, he directed the criticism to Bai Qi.
¡°Bai Qi, did you use a Super Skill just now?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and replied, ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Then do you know why even legendary creatures don¡¯t consider super skills as regr skills?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi instantly thought of Nichs¡¯ previous situation and guessed what Zhang Shan was about to say.
¡°You drained all the energy of your pet beast as soon as you arrived on the battlefield. Have you ever thought about what you would do if the Grass Cutter me Chicken had sessfully evolved and hadn¡¯t died?¡±
Bai Qi remained silent for a long time before speaking up, ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Instructor. I¡¯ll be careful next time.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi admit his mistake so easily, Zhang Shan was somewhat taken aback. The series of examples he had prepared were forcibly held back.
¡°Next time I encounter such a situation, I¡¯ll prepare arge, no, a giant power bank in advance.¡±
Pfft!!!
As soon as Bai Qi spoke, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter, toote to cover it up.
¡°Good idea, I look forward to your performance.¡±
Zhang Shan gave Bai Qi a poker-faced gaze before vanishing from the secret realm. Everyone else immediately received feedback on this number scramble battle from their badges.
¡°Huh, did I pass?¡±
¡°Me too!¡±
¡°Haha, you two scum, I got ¡®good¡¯!¡±
¡°Wow, I can¡¯t ept this¡¡±
¡°The icy man is truly a warm-hearted person. Although he scolded us harshly, he still recognized our efforts.¡±
Looking at the word ¡°Pass¡± disyed on his badge, Zhou Yan patted his chest contentedly and then leaned over to Lu Qing, asking, ¡°Qing¡¯er, what¡¯s your grade?¡±
Lu Qing pushed her sses up and said, ¡°Excellent.¡±
As a supporting contestant, every decision Lu Qing made was right. Her evaluation by Zhang Shan was the lightest, and it was not excessive to get an ¡°excellent.¡±
Zhou Yan looked envious and solemnly swore, ¡°I¡¯m so envious! I will definitely consult you before I act next time.¡±
¡°Give it up, your brain isn¡¯t capable of restraining your body¡¯s instincts.¡±
Zhou Yan: ¡°¡Qing¡¯er, are you really my best friend?¡±
¡°If you put it that way, no.¡±
¡°Oooo¡¡±
Listening to their conversation, Bai Qi refreshed his understanding of Lu Qing once again.
He initially thought Lu Qing was a cold and high-achieving girl, but she turned out to be a dark-hearted sses girl? He felt he shouldn¡¯t provoke her further. ¡°Bai Qi, what was your grade? You performed so well, should be excellent too, right?¡±
Zhou Yan, who was severely battered by Lu Qing¡¯s words, ran over to Bai Qi, curiously asking.
¡°I haven¡¯t checked yet, it should be.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, activated his badge, and started checking.
¡°Huh? Why isn¡¯t there a grade?¡±
Tower of Decision.
Zhao Futu looked at the data reported by Zhang Shan, his face full of smiles.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would give this kind of evaluation only two weeks into training?¡±
Zhang Shan nodded and said, ¡°Yes, although Bai Qi¡¯s fieldbat experience is not as good as the others, his adaptability far surpasses them. I think the hands-on training doesn¡¯t mean much to him anymore, he can skip the ss.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded, turned to Leng Feifei, and said, ¡°Instructor Leng, what do you think?¡±
Leng Feifei nodded and said, ¡°I agree with Zhang Shan¡¯s view. Bai Qi has great potential, and it¡¯s indeed possible to pass up on the generalbat ss.¡±
¡°Since both of you agree, let¡¯s execute it this way.¡±
Zhao Futu put down the documents in his hand, and his secretary immediately took them and stamped them.
¡°However, thebat ss takes up arge proportion in the training. Do you have any ns for Bai Qi during this time?¡±
Zhang Shan pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Bai Qi is very interested in thepetition. How about letting him stay in the Tower of Competition? Tower Master Bai can arrange some different types of opponents to go there, which can also help Bai Qi umtebat experience.¡±
Leng Feifei immediately expressed her opposition, saying, ¡°Bai Qi¡¯s advantage lies in his creativity. Moreover, staying in the Tower of Competition for too long could lead him to misconceptions about fieldbat. I suggest sending him to a real wild environment and giving him real-world training.¡±
¡°No, with Bai Qi¡¯s currentbat power, the nearby wilderness of the city won¡¯t be of any use to him, unless we throw him into the uncontrolled area, which is too risky.¡±
¡°Risky? Twenty years ago, all Beast Masters started their training in the wild.¡±
¡°Times have changed, and besides, Bai Qi only skips mybat ss. He still needs to attend many other sses.¡±
¡°Those are just theoretical lessons. They can be made upter. Compared with realisticbat power, we can put them aside for a while.¡±
¡°I disagree with that¡¡±
Seeing that Zhang Shan, who usually didn¡¯t oppose themand, was arguing with the head instructor Leng Feifei, a smile emerged on Zhao Futu¡¯s face.
¡°Since you two can¡¯t persuade each other, why not listen to my opinion?¡±
Chapter 154 - 153: Nicholas the Timid Dragon’s Gift
Chapter 153: Nichs the Timid Dragon¡¯s Gift
Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°Off to the capital for a deployment mission?¡±
Bai Qi looked somewhat reluctant as he examined the file handed to him by Zhang Shan.
He was counting on scoring more points to exchange for legendary materials. Now, being deployed somewhere with an indefinite return date would impede his point umtion.
¡°Can I refuse?¡±
Zhang Shan nodded, ¡°Of course you can. Although it¡¯s an order from the Association president, refusing is within your rights.¡±
Wow, there¡¯s not even a hint of bribery; are they resorting to bullying now?
Bai Qi sighed quietly, ¡°Could I know the details of the task? After all, I¡¯m only a Third Stage Beast Master, I don¡¯t think I would be of much help, would I?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi, Zhou Yan and others who were listening nearby out of curiosity rolled their eyes in unison.
Just a Third Stage Beast Master, he said! It¡¯s just that simple!
Have you ever seen a Third Stage Beast Master who could take down a Four Stage Ferocious Beast?
Zhang Shan shook his head, ¡°I wasn¡¯t informed of the specifics of the mission. You can ask the apanying personnel when the timees.¡± ¡°Apanying personnel?¡±
Bai Qi froze, then saw Luo Xiang walk in from outside and wave at him, ¡°No need to guess, it¡¯s me.¡±
¡°Alright, I think I get the gist of it.¡±
Luo Xiang had deciphered the most Secret Realm Towers in the Association. If he was going, it was safe to say it was rted to the Secret Realm Towers.
But there were plenty of Secret Realm Towers in Songlin City, and several of them were yet to be deciphered. Was it necessary to go all the way to the capital?
Luo Xiang approached Bai Qi, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re excused from yourbat ss. For other sses, the old man said all you need to do is pass the final assessment.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, he wasn¡¯t bothered about the assessment, but about the points!
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s reaction, Luo Xiang chuckled, ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking. You will be able to earn points during the deployment mission. It won¡¯t be any less than what you get from regr training.¡±
¡°Then there¡¯s no issue.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi sighed in relief. As long as it didn¡¯t affect his ability to get points to trade for legendary material, he didn¡¯t really care about the task.
¡°We were supposed to leave today, but because they added you at thest minute, it¡¯s postponed to tomorrow. You should wrap up your affairs as soon as possible.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, he hadn¡¯t even been at the headquarters for a month, so the only thing he had to take care of was Nichs the Dragon.
¡°If you¡¯re leaving Instructor Luo, who will teach our rune ss?¡±
Finally, someone noticed the problem. Luo Xiang¡¯s face instantly showed a sly smile, patted Zhang Shan who was beside him and said, ¡°Of course, it will be Teacher Zhang.¡±
Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in uproar, sensing a bleak future ahead.
Bai Yuxiao came next to Luo Xiang and quietly said, ¡°Um, Xiang bro, consider taking me along? After all, I study history and I¡¯m an absolute pro!¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, ¡°I don¡¯t mind, but are you certain you won¡¯t be beaten to death by Tower Master Bai?¡±
¡°Never mind that then, my dad might really kill me.¡±
Bai Yuxiao shrank his neck and no longer spoke.
¡± I need to contact the capital now, so I¡¯ 11 leave first. I¡¯ 11e to your room to fetch you tomorrow.¡±
Luo Xiang pulled Zhang Shan along and said to the other students, ¡°I still need to give a crash course to your Teacher Zhang. Your Rune ss today will be a self-study session!¡±
¡°Long live Instructor Luo!¡±
Upon hearing Luo Xiang¡¯s words, Zhou Yan immediately cheered but noticed the others trying to suppress theirughter, looking at her oddly.
Zhou Yan immediately figured out the awkward situation and turned stiffly. Sure enough, Zhang Shan was silently watching her and his constant somber expression made it impossible for Zhou Yan to read his thoughts.
Great, joy turning into sorrow¡
Thankfully, Zhang Shan didn¡¯t have the habit ofshing out on the spot and took one more nce at Zhou Yan before leaving with Luo Xiang.
Once they confirmed Zhang Shan had indeed left, the other students finally cheered. Bai Yuxiao quietly gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up.
¡°Sister Yan, you are fearless, daring to act this way right in front of our icy- faced man. ept my respect!¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s eyes twitched. Just as she was about tosh out, Bai Qiucha, who rarely participated in such jokes, couldn¡¯t help but tease her, ¡°Yan sister, I know you¡¯re happy, but I think Teacher Zhang might have a grievance with you, don¡¯t you think?¡±
¡°You two¡¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s veins popped out on her forehead and she felt an urge to beat these two.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Teacher Zhang has always been fair. He definitely won¡¯t let personal matters affect your studies, but off the record¡¡±
¡°Dead for sure.¡±
Li Mu¡¯s final words doused Zhou Yan¡¯s fiery spirit, rendering her listless.
She suddenly thought, why not attend the rune ss?
Seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s reactions, the other students couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Subsequently, they left the assembly hall in groups.
From the time they began the formal training regime, their schedules had been jam-packed. As they now had a rare chance to rest, they absolutely wanted to cherish it.
Bai Qiucha walked up to Bai Qi, expressing some regret, ¡°I actually wanted to have a full-on practice match with you, but it seems like there¡¯s no chance now.¡±
Because Bai Qi had been training his Slime Monster, he would usually have that creature participate in the Tower of Competition and so Bai Qiucha never had the opportunity to spar with Bai Qi.
Now with Husky demonstrating power far surpassing its level, he naturally wished to have a good fight with Bai Qi.
However, Bai Qi now had to head out on an assignment soon, giving priority to managing everything rted to the Legendary Giant Dragon. It would be inappropriate to challenge him to a fight now.
¡°No worries. Judging by Luo Xiang¡¯s words, I should be back soon, we can fight then.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged,ughing, ¡°Who knows? By then I might have be a Four Stage Beast Master.¡±
¡°Ha, you think bing a Four Stage Beast Master is as easy as climbing stairs? You just dere it and it happens? If you manage to advance within a month, I¡¯ll live-stream myself eating¡¡±
Bai Yuxiao sneered and started talking, but instinctively stopped halfway.
Even though he had joined the training camp temporarily, he had heard loads about Bai Qi over these days and was well aware of how quickly Bai Qi had be a Beast Master.
Could this fellow really advance to Four Stage within a month?
Impossible, advancement after the Third Stage isn¡¯t that easy. He couldn¡¯t possibly surpass this young master in talent, right?
Right, impossible.
With that, confidence returned to Bai Yuxiao¡¯s face. He was just about to finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Lu Qing.
¡°Although I don¡¯t mind watching your live stream, to avoid hurting everyone¡¯s eyes, I rmend you be more careful with your words.¡±
¡°Uh, forget I said anything.¡±
Seeing Lu Qing¡¯s response, Bai Yuxiao awkwardly swallowed his words.
¡°I need to make a trip to the Green Dragon Secret Realm, we¡¯ll chatter.¡±
Bai Qi waved at them and then took his leave.
He didn¡¯t have much to pack in his dormitory, so after he got to the range of the teleportation to the Green Dragon Secret Realm, he activated the Green Dragon Pendant and arrived in the Realm.
Nichs, who was meticulously taking care of the supplements in Jade Valley, saw Bai Qi return so quickly and asked with confusion, ¡°Howe you¡¯re back so soon, Bai Qi?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve been gone for three days, how is that quick?¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and said, ¡°But I might need to leave for a while after this, so I probably won¡¯t be able toe here and see you often.¡±
¡°You won¡¯t being anymore?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Nichs instantly put down his tools and said, ¡°Did you break the rules, Bai Qi? Did you offend those scary creatures outside? How disloyal of you! If theye looking for me, I won¡¯t be able to handle them!¡±
¡°How aboutthis,I¡¯ll run with you!¡±
With that, Nichs turned around and ran into the cave, seemingly making preparations to escape.
¡°Just how many weird TV shows have you been watching in the past few days¡¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m simply going on a mission, if it goes smoothly I could be back in a few days. I¡¯m not running away.¡±
¡°Oh, that¡¯s good. That scared me.¡±
Nichs quickly sighed in relief upon hearing this and continued sorting out his nts.
Damn, when did Nichs start to get so opportunistic?
No good. It seems like besides nurturing his high-end tastes, I also have to reshape his values.
Bai Qi silently nned future lessons for Nichs, ¡°You sure there¡¯s nothing you need me to prepare for you? Once I¡¯m gone, there won¡¯t be anyone around to find you.¡±
¡°No worries, I survived all these years. Plus, it¡¯s not bad taking care of the nts every day either.¡±
Nichs considered it and said, ¡°Can you find me some horticulture materials? I saw on TV that a lot of impressive people enjoy doing this.¡±
Well, his intentions could be purer.
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but tease him, but he still ran out to buy a bunch of horticulture books for him, and magnified them about ten times before bringing it in.
¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be going.¡±
Bai Qi was ready to leave when Nichs suddenly remembered something and said, ¡°Wait.¡±
With that, Nichs returned to the valley and rummaged around for a bit, then he brought out a piece of emerald green dragon scale.
¡°You seem to be in great need of vitality. This is a piece of dragon scale left by my mother. Although the effect might have lessened a bit due to age, it should still aid you.¡±
Green Dragon Scale?
Bai Qi looked surprised, he was just about to reach out and ept it when he paused, saying with hesitation, ¡°I don¡¯t think this is appropriate. After all, it¡¯s part of your mother¡¯s remains. This seems a bit disrespectful.¡±
Nichs waved him off, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Us Green Dragons don¡¯t really care about that. It will just slowly return to nature if left here, it¡¯s better to help you out.¡±
Nichs paused for a moment before adding, ¡°After all, you¡¯re the only friend I have, Nichols. I don¡¯t want anything to happen to you, or else I¡¯ll die of boredom.¡±
After hearing Nichs¡¯ words, Bai Qi was filled with guilt.
His intention of helping Nichs was primarily to turn him into a disposable dragon. However, it seemed like Nichs had genuinely considered him a friend.
Alright, from now on I¡¯ll pay more attention and find some interesting things for him.

Chapter 154: Starry Sky Gate

Thud. Thud. Thud.
Luo Xiang appeared punctually at Bai Qi¡¯s door, knocking on the heavy portal.
¡°Hmm¡is it already morning?¡±
Despite having been up all night, the somewhat excited Bai Qi set aside his Green Dragon Scale and opened the door.
¡°Brother Luo, are we leaving now?¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and said, ¡°They¡¯re rushing us over there, so we should set off early.¡±
Having said that, Luo Xiang suddenly sniffed, saying, ¡°You just came back from the Green Dragon Secret Realm, your aura is teeming with the power of nature?¡±
What the, he can smell that? Is he part dog?
Bai Qi looked doubtfully at Luo Xiang, Could Luo Xiang, like Li Xusheng, also be a double agent?
¡°Don¡¯t imagine things, I am a pure human; I¡¯ve just traversed through numerous bizarre secret realms, so my senses have been honed.¡±
There are such benefits to exploring secret realms?
It seems that I need to go out and run around more when I¡¯m free.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s get going, they seem quite rushed.¡±
Bai Qi nodded at Luo Xiang¡¯s words and quickly left the dormitory with him. A small aircraft was waiting for them.
¡°Mad Owl ¨C Model III? Tsk¡ It¡¯s a pity that the blueprint the Thirteenth Bureau traded with us doesn¡¯t include these, otherwise we could change Husky directly into an airne.¡±
Bai Qi regretfully smacked his lips as the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s blueprint includes most of the seven-stage and lower mechanical weapons, armors, and a series of other things. However, there definitely won¡¯t be something like a strategic aircraft like the Mad Owl.
After all, some things could only be controlled by the Federal Government.
A man in a blue military uniform came down from the aircraft and saluted Luo Xiang, saying, ¡°Master Luo, can we depart now?¡±
¡°No problem, let¡¯s go.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, then pulled Bai Qi onto the aircraft. The man immediately entered the cockpit and the Mad Owl swiftly lifted off, immediately disappearing into the sky.
Watching the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, curiosity shed in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Xiang smiled faintly and asked, ¡°Are you curious as to why it is the military personnel who are meeting us?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Having stayed in the headquarters for a while, Bai Qi had learned about some situationsmoners wouldn¡¯t normally find out.
Although the Beast Master Association was the only official Beast Master organization certified by the Federation and both sides cooperated frequently, it was limited to official activities.
Just like the practical exercises in Gusu City- they were all managed by the military, and the military would hire Beast Masters from the Association to teach.
However, at the end of the day, the Beast Master Association was still an independent civilian organization. It was only a win-win cooperation with the Federation, and there was even a sense ofpetition subtly present between them.
Of course, this didn¡¯t mean that there was no cooperation between the members of the two parties. After all, it wasn¡¯t an age of ignorance, and it was quite normal for someone from the military to hire Luo Xiang to help solve some problems.
However, what was the deal with him being included?
¡°Actually, a rookie like you would normally not be included in this task. The Chairman seems to think highly of you and specifically added a berth for you.¡± Bai Qj was taken aback and asked, ¡°Is this mission very dangerous?¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, responding, ¡°I suppose so. At least it¡¯s somewhat dangerous for Beast Masters below the Fourth Stage.¡±
Bai Qi understood but didn¡¯t make a big deal of it.
Since the Chairman let him go with Luo Xiang, it meant that he was quite confident of his safety. He was probably interested in his Breaking the Void talent that was yet to manifest.
Well, maybe he could take advantage of a secret realm and gather a few mythical resources.
Tianyuan City.
If Songlin City still retained an exotic antique charm, then Tianyuan City, the capital of the Federation, was a thorough future city.
Whether it was the streets or buildings, or anything else that moved and didn¡¯t move, besides humans, were nearly all made up of mechanical creations.
In fact, Bai Qi even saw a car transform into a robot to carry its female owner¡¯s packages.
It could race and carry the load without feeling tired, it seemed that Decepticons and Transformers were the ultimate boyfriends?
Soon, the Mad Owlnded in front of a massivending strip.
¡°Mr. Luo, we¡¯re here.¡±
The pilot opened the cabin door, saluted the two of them again, and once the two had disembarked, he immediately soared away again.
¡°Master Luo, sorry for dragging you all the way over here.¡±
Seeing the two disembark, a man in a suit immediately walked over from not far away.
That voice sounds familiar.
Bai Qi turned at the sound and discovered that it was Minister Yi who had greeted them at the ne, the man he had met before due to the Gemini Tower. However, Li Xusheng was nowhere to be seen.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be personally received by Minister Yi, I¡¯m quite ttered,¡± Luo Xiang said with a faint smile, ¡°Is the Thirteenth Bureau very freetely?¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s just that we do have time to receive Master Luo,¡± he replied.
Bai Qi, seeing the two smiling faces, could feel the sudden tension in the air.
Do these two have a grudge against each other?
Or was it just that Husky was naturally hostile to its own kind?
Nevertheless, Yi Yu, as one of the ministers of the Thirteenth Bureau, quickly shifted the topic. He turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Long time no see, Bai Qi. The Rune Puppet you tradedst time has been of great help to the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
¡°Long time no see.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head, casually responding.
A Rune Puppet?
Wasn¡¯t that used for teaching purposes? Could there be something else hiding inside?
It felt like he¡¯d been bumped.
Bai Qi was quietly alerted, while Luo Xiang proposed,¡± Show us the situation first.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, then turned and led them both to another car.
¡°It¡¯s a bit far away, please be patient with the wait.¡±
¡°No problem, we¡¯re not in a hurry.¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged indifferently, made himselffortable at the back seat, and started to rest.
He really didn¡¯t want to chat with Yi Yu.
Seeing that the usually talkative Luo Xiang was unusually silent today, Bai Qi made a clear understanding of their rtionship and decided to stay quiet as well.
Old Qin and Luo Xiang shared the same attitude towards Yi Yu. Naturally, Bai Qi understood how he should behave.
Yi Yu clearly understood the attitude of Luo Xiang. Therefore, he remained silent all the way till they arrived at a huge metal door.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
As soon as Yi Yu stepped out of the car, two men dressed in Thirteenth Bureau uniforms approached.
¡°Team leader, the Bureau Chief is already urging.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll exin it to the Chief.¡±
Then, Yi Yu turned to Luo Xiang and Bai Qi and said, ¡°Please follow me. The field around the secret realm is too strong. We need to use the Starry Sky Gate to get in.¡±
¡°Starry Sky Gate?¡±
Bai Qi was startled, visibly excited.
¡°Is it the same Starry Sky Gate that can randomly teleport any organism and material to anywhere within the Snare¡¯s coverage?!¡±
Yi Yu nodded, saying ¡°That¡¯s right. However, I¡¯m not sure about the exact extents it can reach, since I don¡¯t have an in-depth knowledge of Mechanical Engineering.¡±
After Yi Yu¡¯s confirmation, Bai Qi¡¯s gaze towards the metal door changed.
The Starry Sky Gate, arge-scale space transmission device invented by humans, surpassed any known space artifacts or space creatures in terms of its transport scale and distance.
In a way, one of the reasons why the Federation could maintain absolute control over such a vast territory, aside from the monitoring of the Snare, was this Starry Sky Gate.
However, they needed to use the Starry Sky Gate to ess the secret realm they were going to visit, and just to transport only three of them?
Bai Qj went closer to Luo Xiang and asked, ¡°Brother Luo, can you tell me where exactly are we going?¡±
¡°The Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.¡±
Bai Qi was stunned by Luo Xiang¡¯s reply.
The Emperor, who rallied the scattered human race, transforming the subservient rtionship between humans and ferocious creatures, that Emperor?
Were they going to visit that very Emperor¡¯s secret realm?
Luo Xiang said, ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited, it¡¯s just a guess at the moment. We¡¯ll have to wait until we get inside to confirm.¡±
Hearing Luo Xiang, Yi Yu nodded, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right, despite the manpower and resources invested by the Thirteenth Bureau and the Beast Master Association, we haven¡¯t yet prated the core area, which is why we invited Master Luo back.¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t expect Bai Qi to be here too, if two people with the Breaking the Void Talent work together, I think we can easily solve the problem.¡±
Bai Qi felt awkward when he heard that. Even though he indeed entered the secret realm by finding the backdoor twice, he was very aware that he didn¡¯t have the Breaking the Void talent, so Yi Yu was thinking too much.
But with Luo Xiang there this time, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems.
Although ording to Luo Xiang himself, the Breaking the Void Talent was unreliable, Bai Qi could at least confirm that Luo Xiang had a pretty high sess rate since he had already cracked more than one hundred Secret Realm Towers.
As the three of them were talking, the Starry Sky Gate was activated. Ayer of light, stretching out like a starry sky, quickly covered the entire metallic door.
¡°Alright, please step in.¡±
Yi Yu stepped aside, signaling the two to go first. Luo Xiang was obviously quite familiar with it and didn¡¯t hesitate to step through.
Seeing Luo Xiang make the first move, Bai Qi immediately followed. The instant he passed through the light barrier, he found himself in another world.
There wasn¡¯t even a ripple or a shake, signs typical of space transmission. Was the Federation¡¯s space transmission technology so powerful now?
If he could learn this, it seemed that he wouldn¡¯t need a Flying System Beast contract.
Just as this thought shed through Bai Qi¡¯s mind, he immediately suppressed it.
The Starry Sky Gate was even more important than some core weapons, and not even Federation members had a chance to ess it, let alone a Beast Master Association member like him.
Instead of bothering with this, he thought it would be simpler to own Space System Beast.
Alternatively, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible to find some Space System Resources and cultivate one himself.
The only thing was, as a Mechanical Engineering student, he really wanted to learn it¡
Chapter 156 - 155: Emperors Secret Realm (Feeling bad, so added an update)
Chapter 155: Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm (Feeling bad, so added an update)
Trantor: 549690339
In the moment when the three of them crossed through the Starry Sky Gate, Bai Qi felt he was targeted by dozens of gazes with a hint of killing intent.
Soldiers, and ones who have been fighting in the outskirts for years!
Bai Qi swiftly made the judgment. However, as soon as these gazes noticed Yi Yu, they quickly receded as if nothing had ever happened.
¡°We¡¯ve arrived.¡±
Yi Yu pointed to the ground in front of them, pockmarked by deep holes, ¡°Over here is the area managed by the Thirteenth Bureau. The area managed by the Association is to the north. Master Luo, would you like to head north first?¡±
Luo Xiang shook his head, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Whichever side is cracked open first, both will start development simultaneously. Let¡¯s just stay close.¡±
Yi Yu responded, ¡°Alright, I will arrange someone to lead Master Luo into the secret realm.¡±
Having said that, Yi Yu turned around and left, giving Bai Qi the time to start observing his surroundings.
The expansive ground had been artificially dug into square pits with sides around ten meters long, andrge equipment was arranged around the pits. From the patterns flickering on the screens, it seemed like they were deciphering runes.
Bai Qi moved closer to one pit and observed at the bottom arge bronze door covered in ancient runes. They seemed somewhat simr to those in the Rune Dictionary, but were moreplex.
They were more akin to those on the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube.
¡°Does it feel like the runes are not quite the same as those of Professor Dong¡¯s?¡±
Noticing Bai Qi¡¯s confusion, Luo Xiang exined, ¡°The earliest runes can be traced back to the Founding Emperor Period. All the runes contactedter by mankind originated from that era. However, during the era of the Law Emperor was when the runes became widespread. Most of the runes studied by the Rune Department are from the Law Emperor¡¯s era, so there are still quite a few differences.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Simply put, runes from the Founding Emperor Period are like Oracle Bone Script, while those from the Law Emperor Period are like Bronze Inscriptions or Seal Script. Easy to understand.
¡°But why are so many pits dug here?¡±
While he was speaking, Bai Qi suddenly realized something. He then turned to look at the numerous pits with incredulity in his eyes.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me all of these are entrances to the Secret Realm Tower?!¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, ¡°Yes, and no.¡±
¡°The Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm is not quite the same as other Secret Realm Towers. Rather than calling it a tower, it would be more appropriate to call it a mausoleum.¡±
¡°A mausoleum?¡±
Bai Qi was greatly surprised on hearing this. Though there were many types of Secret Realm Towers, he had never heard of one being converted into a mausoleum before.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s reaction, Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t helpughing, ¡°Since it¡¯s a mausoleum, it must have been built by someone else. This was probably constructed by the followers of the Emperor.¡±
¡°Among these doors, some lead to the Emperor¡¯s Mausoleum, others lead to high-risk Secret Realms, and some are simply just doors.¡±
Speaking of this, Luo Xiang had a look of irritation on his face, ¡°Although I can understand that preventive measures were taken to ensure that the Emperor¡¯s Mausoleum was not invaded by thieves, making so many doors in the same area, I don¡¯t know which bastard came up with this idea.¡±
These measures were definitely to deter you thieves¡
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°So, is this the Secret Realm that the Association traded the Gemini Tower for the development rights?¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s correct. Even if there was no trade, the Thirteenth Bureau would have eventually cooperated with the Association. But because the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm is so special, the Association simply didn¡¯t bother to bargain.¡±
Bai Qi silently agreed with Luo Xiang¡¯s assertion. With so many doors, it would indeed be challenging to handle it all without some help. Historically, the Association has a longer history than the Federation.
At this moment, Yi Yu walked over and said, ¡°Perfect timing, the Special Ops team is about to depart. You two should join them.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, and behind Yi Yu, a fully armed squad slowly emerged.
There were five people in the team, led by a tall middle-aged man who looked very steady and reliable¡ªpresumably the leader.
Behind him stood three men and a woman, one of whom was Li Xusheng, whom Bai Qi had met in the Tower of Gratitude.
Seeing Bai Qi here also surprised Li Xusheng, but he didn¡¯t show it. His eyes were indifferent, focused on the path ahead.
¡°This is Master Luo Xiang from the Association. He is here to help us crack the secret realm. As for this one, you are probably aware of him already, it¡¯s Bai Qi, who discovered the Rune Evolution a few days ago.¡±
Yi Yu pointed to Luo Xiang and Bai Qi, briefly introducing them. However, the Special Ops team showed no reaction, as if Yi Yu had just introduced two rocks.
¡°Your task is to escort them safely to the entrance of the next level. Understood?¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
Upon hearing Yi Yu¡¯s instructions, the Special Ops team finally responded. Yi Yu then looked at Bai Qi and Luo Xiang, ¡°I have some other matters to attend to, I won¡¯t be able to apany you guys in. If you have any questions, just ask Captain Wang Huai.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and headed straight for one of therge pits without waiting for the Special Ops team. Bai Qi didn¡¯t hesitate either and quickly caught up.
Seeing Luo Xiang¡¯s demeanor, Wang Huai exchanged nces with Yi Yu, then led the Special Ops team to follow them.
Since Luo Xiang had participated in the original exploration and development of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, he was clearly very familiar with the ce. He quickly arrived at arge gate heavily guarded by soldiers.
Luo Xiang looked at Wang Huai, ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡±
Upon hearing this, Wang Huai immediately stepped forward, ¡°We have temporarily confirmed that this door indeed leads to the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm. However, this should not be the central area, but rather the Emperor¡¯s training ground.¡±
¡°Training ground?¡±
Luo Xiang raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something. A strange smile appeared on his face.
¡°Yes, although we haven¡¯t discovered the existence of the Guardians yet, we are certain it is a training ground.¡±
Wang Huai nodded and handed an electronic board to Luo Xiang, saying, ¡°The vanguard team has already discovered the entrance to the next area and have begun deciphering it. Based on our current progress, it seems we need to get through this training ground first.¡±
¡°We¡¯ve already sent people to test it out. The training ground adjusts its opponents based on the level of the individuals entering. So, Master Luo, we might need you to suppress your strength for a bit, otherwise it would be difficult for us to make a breakthrough.¡±
Luo Xiang returned the electronic board to Wang Huai and said, ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. I¡¯ll go it alone, you just need to handle this person.¡±
¡°That¡¡±
A moment of reluctance shed in Wang Huai¡¯s eyes. After looking at the three runes on Bai Qi¡¯s left hand, he said, ¡°Would it be better if we escorted Mr. Bai Qi to the entrance of the next area? We might be able to find out something more.¡±
They had gleaned some information about Bai Qi. He might have some knowledge of runes, but unraveling the mysteries of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm was out of the question.
Without a doubt, Luo Xiang¡¯s purpose in bringing Bai Qi here was high likely to broaden his horizon, and incidentally, to boost his reputation.
After all, participation in the resolution and development of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm was indeed, no, extremely significant in one¡¯s career track record.
¡°No need, just let him join in the breakthrough, as long as he doesn¡¯t die.¡±
Luo Xiang gave Bai Qi a wave, ¡°I¡¯ll go first, have fun.¡±
Then he opened the entrance and disappeared into thin air.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes. Why was Luo Xiang as callous as Old Qin? Couldn¡¯t they have any minimal sense of protection for the young talent?
Well, it felt like he was relying on the wrong person.
Seeing Luo Xiang acting arbitrarily, Wang Huai felt helpless. He turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Mr. Bai Qi, I suggest you seriously consider whether you need us to escort you to the entrance of the next area.¡±
The main task of their group was to attempt to break through the test of the training ground, but they were diverted to show the way by Yi Yu at thest minute.
Luo Xiang was justified, as being a prominent Master of the Sunrise Level, although his presence would increase the difficulty of the breakthrough, his contribution was undeniable.
However, Bai Qi, as a Third Stage Beast Master, seemed somewhat of a burden.
Therefore, the simplest method was to leave this fellow at the entrance of the next area, and then they could focus on making the breakthrough.
¡°No need, Master Luo¡ Master is probably going to attempt to forcefully decipher the entrance, and it¡¯s pointless for me to go there as well. I¡¯ll try to make a breakthrough with you.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hands and directly refused.
If the mechanism of this Secret Realm required a breakthrough of the training ground, and it seemed that the difficulty was not low, then the reward after the breakthrough must have been extraordinary. Naturally, Bai Qi did not wish to miss out on such an opportunity.
Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, the rewards were bound to be unprecedented and unique.
Seeing that Bai Qi did not grasp the implication of his words, Wang Huai was just about to rify the twist and turns of this situation when the always silent Li Xusheng suddenly spoke.
¡°Leader, let him go.¡±
Wang Huai was startled upon hearing Li Xusheng¡¯s words. After seeing the odd expression on Li¡¯s face, he immediately understood.
¡°Could it be that he is the one you mentionedst time¡¡±
Li Xusheng simply nodded and did not say anything more. Seeing this, Wang Huai no longer discouraged Bai Qi. He led Bai Qi and entered the Secret Realm.
As Wang Huai had mentioned earlier, upon entering the Secret Realm, Bai Qi saw a gigantic school field. The ck metal exterior wall gave a strong sense of seriousness, even from a great distance.
However, being too far away, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t see the specific situation inside.
Around the school field was a vast wastnd. Far away, it seemed that there was arge gate.
Was the entrance and the test site so far apart from each other? It was a bit different from the Gemini Tower he had dealt with before.
¡°The training ground here is almost twenty kilometers away. Remember to keep up with uster. The journey does not seem as safe as it looks.¡±
Wang Huai came in front of Bai Qi, saying, ¡°To avoid errors, let¡¯s exchange information first.¡±
¡°Wang Huai, Four Stage Beast Master, Main pet, Barrier Tree Man.¡±
¡°Li Xusheng, Four Stage Beast Master, Main pet, Raksha Giant Elephant.¡±
¡°Tang Miao, Four Stage Beast Master, Main pet, Sky-Attacking Mantis.¡±
¡°Baili Huangmo, Four Stage Beast Master, Main pet, ck me Snake.¡±
¡°Baili Hanhai, Four Stage Beast Master, Main pet, White Ice Boa.¡±
Chapter 157 - 156: Rules for Wild Survival
Chapter 156: Rules for Wild Survival
Trantor: 549690339
The five members of the special team had each introduced their main pet and then all turned their attention to Bai Qi.
¡°Bai Qi, Third Stage Beast Master, main pet, Wilting Dragon Lord.¡±
¡°Wilting Dragon Lord? Is that really your pet beast?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi introduce himself, Tang Miao was a bit surprised.
¡°Does the Federation have another Wilting Dragon Lord?¡±
Bai Qi countered, Tang Miao immediately realized his blunder, sticking out his tongue apologetically, ¡°Sorry, I thought you borrowed someone else¡¯s pet beast¡¡±
¡°Tang Miao, that¡¯s really rude of you!¡±
Wang Huai gave Tang Miao a slightly stern look, saying, ¡°Sorry, Tang Miao¡¯s personality is like that, don¡¯t take his words too seriously.¡±
¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t think you could develop something so advanced at such a young age. My apologies.¡±
Obviously not one to beat around the bush, Tang Miao quickly apologized to Bai Qi after being chastised by Wang Huai.
¡°Haha, actually I¡¯m used to it.¡±
Bai Qj shrugged indifferently. Though not as straightforward as Tang Miao, he¡¯d gotten used to these types of situations.
Or rather, ever since that press conference, simr doubts had never quite ceased.
On second thought, who would believe that a student majoring in mechanical martial arts suddenly brought out something called Rune Evolution and evolved a brand-new Lord Evolution Type?
In any case, Bai Qi believed in himself.
¡°By the way, Bai Qi, can you summon it for me to see? I didn¡¯t have time to check my cellphely due to the heavy workload.¡±
At this point, Tang Miao looked a bit wronged as he nced at Wang Huai. Heined, ¡°me our team leader. We finally got our vacation time approved, but we had to hurry here anyway.¡±
Wang Huai gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t me me, it was Minister Yi who suddenly reached out. We had toe.¡±
¡°But, I¡¯m really interested in this new evolution type.¡±
¡°+1¡±
¡°+1¡±
Barely had Wang Huai finished speaking when the Baili brothers echoed his sentiment in unison, their collective gaze settling on Bai Qi.
¡°Umm, okay.¡±
Being stared at by these guys ustomed to the wilderness, Bai Qi felt slightly uneasy and could only summon Alpha out.
¡°Wow! How cool! It looks much cooler than what the guide¡¯s image showed.¡±
The moment Alpha appeared, a spark ignited within Tang Miao¡¯s eyes as he lunged towards Alpha.
Gargle?
(Boss, is this an enemy?)
Seeing Tang Miao suddenly appear before its eyes, Alpha went into alert mode immediately, but still habitually asked Bai Qj.
Bai Qi quickly waved his hand, saying, ¡°This one isn¡¯t, just stay put.¡±
Gargle.
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded and returned to normal, no longer on its guard.
Keeping a constantly cautious heart but also knowing when to restrain itself, this pet beast was well trained. No wonder Xusheng had a hard time against it.
Observing these subtle movements of Alpha, Wang Huai slightly nodded, unable to resist ncing at Li Xusheng by his side, but Li Xusheng seemed uninterested in engaging with Bai Qi, his gaze was on his surroundings, seemingly lost in thoughts.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect an undead creature to look so cool. If I had known, I would have contracted with the Undead Department.¡±
Tang Miao squatted in front of Alpha and examined it carefully, saying ¡°Bai Qi, if I contract a skeleton soldier, can you also help me evolve it into a Wilting Dragon Lord? Name your price!¡±
What the heck, are all the young beast masters so rich these days?
Could you leave a way to survive for us poor Beast Masters?
Looking at Tang Miao¡¯s expectant gaze, Bai Qi could only shrug helplessly, replying, ¡°Sorry, Alpha¡¯s evolution route is quite unique. It might not be replicable.¡±
¡°Is that so¡¡±
A bit disappointed at Bai Qi¡¯s answer, he then added, ¡°Maybe other Lord Evolution Types could be researched in the future.¡±
Obviously Old Qin and Professor Dong ced great importance on this project; they would definitely develop other Lord Evolution Types in the future. But being the team leader, other than making a round of appearance initially, he didn¡¯t manage these matterster on and was not clear about the current research progress.
¡°Is that so?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Tang Miao was immediately revitalized. Just as he was about to inquire further, Wang Huai interrupted.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s save the talk forter and execute the mission first.¡±
Wang Huai looked at the destendscape in front of him, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, you have the lowest level, so stay behind me during the mission and don¡¯t dwell around.¡±
Bai Qi nodded without any opposition.
He wasn¡¯t familiar with the environment here; there was no need for him to foolishly rush in front. Saving effort where he could was still a good idea.
Seeing that Bai Qi did not feel upset about being looked down upon, Wang Huai began to have a higher opinion of him.
No wonder he was personally brought by Master Luo to Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm. Thankfully, he was not one of those proud and arrogant ¡°smart¡± young masters.
¡°Everyone, prepare for battle.¡±
Almost instantly, Wang Huai¡¯s expression changed from warm to stern as he summoned his own pet beast.
[Name]: Barrier Tree Man
[Nature]: nt Attribute
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Growth Level]: Four Phase Five Stage
The Barrier Tree Man, just like its name, was quite substantial in size. When standing in front of Bai Qi, it was like facing a huge wall.
Seemingly, Wang Huai should be a Beast Master with a defensive type.
The rest of the team also moved into positions, and each of them began to summon their respective beasts and took their positions quickly.
The Baili brothers appeared to be long-range attackers, standing on either side, while Tang Miao seemed to be the hit-and-runbat type, constantly moving around.
As for Li Xusheng, the only one Bai Qi was familiar with, he quietly followed the others from behind.
The division of responsibilities was quite clear.
Watching the strike team getting ready, Bai Qi didn¡¯t interfere, allowing Alpha to stay obediently by his side.
Although he didn¡¯t see any enemies at the moment, judging by the attack team¡¯s highly alert state, there must be enemies hidden somewhere.
As expected, before the team had moved far, Bai Qi heard slight noisesing from behind, and he quickly turned to look.
Before Bai Qi could make out what was happening, two demonic elephants at Li Xusheng¡¯s side transformed into two hammers and smashed into the ground. A giant earthworm, its body nearly the color of the dirt, was squashed into meat paste.
Oh my, how brutal!
[Name]: Sawtooth Earthworm
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Introduction]: Creatures hidden beneath the earth, they can camouge themselves to match thend and ambushed the enemies. Their jagged teeth, resembling mincing machines, can grind most creatures¡¯ skeletons.
¡°Be careful, there should be more around.¡±
After effortlessly killing a Sawtooth Earthworm, Li Xusheng didn¡¯t loosen up, he reminded the team.
¡°I noticed earlier.¡±
A confident smile appeared on Tang Miao¡¯s face. He looked at Wang Huai and said, ¡°Captain, please drive them out from underneath the ground.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Wang Huai nodded. The Barrier Tree Man rooted itself in the ground, and its thick roots started to churn the soil. Soon, several Sawtooth Earthworms burrowed out from underneath the earth.
Before these Sawtooth Earthworms could examine their enemies, Tang Miao¡¯s Sky-Attacking Mantis transformed into a green afterimage. As it circled around the earthworms and returned, the earthworms had been chopped into numerous fragments, falling onto the ground.
¡°Easy peasy.¡±
After dealing with the enemies, Tang Miao hummed a tune. Suddenly, the Baili brothers shot out mes and frost towards his direction all at once, hitting a smaller Sawtooth Earthworm directly behind Tang Miao.
¡°That was close.¡±
¡°You could have died.¡±
The Baili brothers nced at the Sawtooth Earthworm behind Tang Miao, which died painfully after being hit by the frost and mes, murmured quietly, then segued their attention elsewhere.
¡°Tang Miao, don¡¯t underestimate the enemies.¡±
With a low voice, Wang Huai cautioned Tang Miao and looked at Bai Qi, who was standing stunned, asked, ¡°Bai Qi, are you okay?¡±
College-based Beast Masters surely have a hard time handling sudden incidents like this.
¡°I¡¯m okay.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, and ncing at the Sawtooth Earthworms with hardly any intact bodies left, couldn¡¯t help twitching at the corner of his eyes.
A Sawtooth Earthworm¡¯s teeth could be used to make cutting tools, its hide could be used for armor, and its meat was a great source of nutrients.
Now, they were all battered by Li Xusheng and his team. If Instructor Xiao Zhang saw this, he would definitely say it was a waste¡
¡°Good, even though we¡¯re in a secret realm, it¡¯s quite simr to the wilderness. If you encounter a beast, remember to attack with full force. Otherwise, the one who dies could be you.¡±
Wang Huai stated this very seriously without any lecturing tone, but Bai Qi immediately understood the reason behind his team¡¯s relentlessness.
It¡¯s either you die, or it¡¯s me.
Probably, it¡¯s the experience gained through bloody confrontations in the wild.
He suddenly understood why Master Luo insisted on dropping him here.
¡°Alpha, attack with full force, don¡¯t hold back.¡±
Click ck! Click ck!
(Boss, I¡¯ve been waiting for you to say that for a long time.)
Alpha, who was aware of the beasts¡¯ approach, saw his master¡¯s order and the Fire of Soul in its eye sockets zed up intensely. A blue longsword and a yellow longsword instantly flew out from behind Alpha¡¯s back and into its hands.
The azure one was naturally the Wilting Longsword. As for the one dyed in earthy yellow, it was the Gravity Longsword.
The release of Gravity Amplification needed a medium. Even though it could temporarily designate one, it was still somewhat troublesome, so Alpha simply used its crystal bone to coagte another longsword. Specifically to bear the forces from Gravity Amplification.
Armed with two swords, Alpha turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the spot. Everywhere it went, the Sawtooth Earthworms would either be drained of their life force or squashed into meat paste by the immense gravity.
Its level of brutality was not at all inferiorpared to Li Xusheng and the others.
Tang Miao watched the rampaging Alpha and looked back at Bai Qi, who cleverly dodged to the nearby Barrier Tree Man, and whispered, ¡°Captain, he seems slightly different from the rumors.¡±
Also surprised by Bai Qi¡¯s quick adaptability, Wang Huai nodded and said, ¡°His adaptability is beyond expectations, but we still need to be cautious. After all, he is only a Third Stage Beast Master, things won¡¯t be this easyter.¡±
The Sawtooth Earthworm was just a high-grade elite, although high ranked, the Mid-Level Lord bloodline of Alpha was enough to offset these differences, so Wang Huai wasn¡¯t surprised.
But the path ahead would not be so simple.

Chapter 157: Is This A Slime Monster?
Trantor: 549690339
Just as he was finished speaking, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently.
¡°The big one ising!¡±
Wang Huai¡¯s face changed, the Barrier Tree Man immediately grabbed Bai Qi and the others, putting them on his body for protection, while Li Xusheng leaped high into the air, his dual hammers crashing heavily onto the ground.
Boom!
A series of dark red lightning bolts, like spider webs, followed the dual hammers into the ground. The earth within several dozen meters was instantly pulverized, and simultaneously, a huge Sawtooth Earthworm with a golden ring wrapped around its neck drilled out from beneath the ground.
[Name]: Sawtooth Earthworm King
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[ Introduction]: The king among the Sawtooth Earth Mounds, with a golden ring on its neck and extremely powerful vitality.
¡°This is the real deal¡¡±
Seeing the Sawtooth Earthworm King appear, Wang Huai and the others unanimously showed a smile on their faces. Li Xusheng was even more filled with murderous intent, swinging his giant hammer and charging towards the Sawtooth Earthworm King.
¡°Desert, Sea of Starlight, you cover for Xusheng. Tang Miao, you attack freely, and I¡¯ll cover for you.¡±
Wang Huai patted the Barrier Tree Man, and immediately several green auras were cast on their pets, drastically increasing their attack power and speed.
[ Skill Name]: Vitality Aura
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: An aura type skill that temporarily increases a pet¡¯s vitality, enhancing its speed and attack power.
Benefiting from the boost of the Vitality Aura, Li Xusheng¡¯s movements conspicuously changed. He nimbly dodged the acid sprayed out by the Sawtooth Earthworm King, quickly approached it, andunched a torrential attack with his giant hammer.
With the swinging of Li Xusheng¡¯s dual hammers, blood-red lightning was continuously moving on the Sawtooth Earthworm King, with every attack ripping off a piece of flesh.
But the Sawtooth Earthworm King didn¡¯t care about Li Xusheng¡¯s attacks. With the golden ring on its neck shing, the wounds almost healed at a visible rate. Conversely, it was Li Xusheng whose attacking rhythm was disrupted by the strong acid blood sprayed from the wound.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng slightly furrowed his brows, consciously keeping a distance from the Sawtooth Earthworm King, and again summoned a beast.
[Name]: Electric Fur Rat
[Nature]: Beast System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Eighth level
[Introduction]: A rat-type pet, quick as lightning, covered with electricity, highly difficult to catch.
As soon as the Electric Fur Rat appeared, it darted towards Li Xusheng and then entered his body, transforming into a pair of boots on his feet.
¡°Simultaneously merging with two beasts?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows twitched at this sight. Generally, Fusion-Talent Beastmasters only chose to merge with one pet.
It wasn¡¯t about having an upper limit for merging, but merging with two or more beasts at once would put immense pressure on the Beast Master¡¯s soul. In severe cases, it might leave unheble spirit injuries.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Xusheng¡¯s physique is special. Merging with two beasts is not a problem for him.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s appearance, Wang Huai immediately provided an exnation. Bai Qi also recalled the strangeness of the Evolution Egg the first time he met Li Xusheng.
Was it due to his mixed heritage?
After merging with the Electric Fur Rat, Li Xusheng¡¯s speed surged yet again,pletely ignoring the acid sttering around and quickly riddling the Sawtooth Earthworm King with countless bloody holes.
However, no matter how Li Xusheng attacked, the Sawtooth Earthworm King could quickly heal its wounds. Conversely, the surrounding ground was corroded by the strong acid blood of the earthworm, resulting in a pitted and uneven surface, with almost no ce to stand.
Seeing this, a glint of blood shed in Li Xusheng¡¯s eyes as if he was about to do something. But he was immediately stopped by Wang Huai, who sternly said, ¡°Xusheng, don¡¯t act rashly!¡±
Li Xusheng paused, abiding by Wang Huai¡¯smand. He was about to continue his attack but noticed Sawtooth Earthworms slowly emerging from the surrounding acid.
Looking at these Sawtooth Earthworms that sprung up from nowhere, Bai Qi nced thoughtfully at the still-active flesh that Li Xusheng had smashed on the Sawtooth Earthworm King and made a judgment.
¡°Split? ¡±
[Skill Name]: Split
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Can consume energy to split sub-bodies. The sub-bodies possess part of the main body¡¯s energy, their strength is determined by the energy value given at the time of splitting.
¡°It should be the Split skill.¡±
Wang Huai nodded, saying, ¡°Change tactics. Tang Miao, you concentrate on dealing with the Sawtooth Earthworms. Desert, Sea of Starlight, you are responsible for eliminating those pieces of flesh that haven¡¯t yet changed into new Sawtooth Earthworms. This ce is very conducive to their growth. We can¡¯t afford to engage in a war of attrition with them.¡±
¡°Xusheng, continue normal attacks.¡±
¡°Copy.¡±
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao immediately snapped his fingers, and the Sky- Attacking Mantis began to move at full speed, turning into a phantom that constantly moved among the many split bodies. The Balli Brothers, on the other hand, silently eliminated the pieces of flesh that hadn¡¯t yet transformed into new Sawtooth Earthworms.
Although the Sawtooth Earthworm King didn¡¯t have many attacking skills, its vitality was terrifyingly strong. No matter how Li Xusheng attacked, he still couldn¡¯t kill itpletely.
¡°Damn it, the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm is greatly advantaging them, this can¡¯t go on like this.¡±
Wang Huai clenched his teeth in frustration. He originally wanted to save energy for training, but it seemed that there was no room for holding back.
¡°Xusheng, prepare¡¡±
Before Wang Huai could finish his sentence, he saw Bai Qi summon a Slime and immediately kicked it toward the ground below.
¡°Be careful, the corrosive nature of the acid is strong!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi act so rashly, Wang Huai immediately tried to stop him, only to find that the Slime, which should have been entirely corroded by the acid, was merrily swimming in the acid without being corroded at all.
¡°Is this, a Slime?¡±
Wang Huai felt as though his knowledge was refreshed. He turned his curious eyes upon Bai Qi.
¡°You could say so, it just grew resistance because it soaked a lot before.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged and said, ¡°Captain Wang, keep your team members away from my pets, or they might get identally injured.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Wang Huai nodded and immediately signaled Li Xusheng and others to step back. Receiving the instructions, Alpha grabbed Gamma, who was still bathing, and directly stuffed it into his empty chest cavity.
At the same time, a dark green aura slowly spread around. Both Li Xusheng and the Sawtooth Earthworm sensed something strange and quickly retreated.
Wilting Dragon Lord ¨C Highly Toxic Warrior, at your service!
¡°A Deadly Poison Aura?¡±
Seeing the Slime use a field-type technique, Wang Huai was increasingly surprised.
Firstly, it had a resistance to corrosion, following with a Deadly Poison Aura technique, if he wasn¡¯t certain Bai Qi had just arrived at Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm today, and the monsters here appeared randomly, Wang Huai would have suspected that Bai Qi was dispatched by the top personnel to specifically deal with the Sawtooth Earthworm.
Just as Wang Huai was surprised, Alpha had alreadyunched an attack on the Sawtooth Earthworm. Each swing of the long sword imbued with Withering Power took away arge chunk of flesh, which barelynded beforepletely losing the sense of life.
On the other hand, the Sawtooth Earthworm King, due to the Deadly Poison Aura, saw a marked slowdown in the regeneration of its flesh and naturally wanted to get away from Alpha.
However, the Sawtooth Earthworm King¡¯s body was too massive to escape Alpha¡¯s entanglement. All of a sudden, arge mouth appeared on the body of the Sawtooth Earthworm King, revealing dense poisonous teeth, and bit towards Alpha.
¡°Be careful!¡±
Seeing this, Wang Huai immediately instructed the Barrier Tree Man to pull Alpha away. However, he saw that Alpha directly pulled Gamma out from his body and threw it towards the Sawtooth Earthworm King.
Has he gone mad?
Seeing that Gamma was about to be swallowed up by the Sawtooth Earthworm King, Wang Huai and others were taken aback. Just when they were nning to offer support, Alpha swung Gravity and jabbed against the Sawtooth Earthworm King several times, the earthworm king immediately fell to the ground and was unable to move.
Gravity Amplification.
The alreadyrge-bodied Sawtooth Earthworm King waspletely unable to react under the amplified gravity. Numerousrge mouths immediately appeared all over its body, continuously spewing acid at Alpha. However, it was blocked by Gamma, who suddenly expanded its body, and waspletely enveloped by Gamma afterward.
Roar!
The enveloped Sawtooth Earthworm King began to bite Gamma from inside, but the seemingly jelly-like weak body of Gamma showed no signs of damage under its teeth. On the contrary, it itself became increasingly weak, gradually losing the strength to attack.
Is this a f***ing Slime?!
Seeing that the seemingly endless life force Sawtooth Earthworm king was gradually reduced to dry meat by Gamma, Wang Huai and others exchanged surprised nces, not knowing how to evaluate the situation.
Wang Huai was silent for a long time. Looking at Gamma, which was bing brighter due to the absorption of massive energy, he said, ¡°I suddenly realized why he managed to decode the Secret Realm Tower before Xusheng¡¡±
Given the level of this Slime, it should be Bai Qi¡¯s third pet, but it also has such a powerful ability. Naturally, Alpha, as the main pet, wouldn¡¯t be weak.
The Baili brothers routinely expressed their approval, while the eyes of Tang Miao once again turned into the shape of hearts.
¡°Bai Qi, where did you catch this Slime? I also want one!¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know where to find them. I picked up Gamma¡¡±
Tang Miao:
While they were chatting casually, Gamma finallypletely absorbed the energy of Sawtooth Earthworm King, turning it into a pile of dried up flesh, only the gold ring around its neck remained.
Chomp, gulp¡
(Master, Gamma is full and wants to sleep¡)
Having said that, Gamma immediately fell asleep.
Seeing Gamma like this, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t surprised. Gamma¡¯s energy absorption also had a limit. If it didn¡¯t use up the energy, it had to digest it through deep sleep.
In return, Gamma would assimte some of the energypletely for its own use. That was why Gamma had such an unusually high energy value.
It was for this reason that Bai Qi went to great lengths to have Alpha trap the Sawtooth Earthworm King. Otherwise, a full output of Withering Power would have made the division and self-repair a joke.
Of course, there was another reason.
¡°Alpha, bring the part around the gold ring over.¡±
Chapter 159 - The 158th Palm: The Terracotta Army of the First Emperor
The 158th Palm: The Terracotta Army of the First Emperor
Trantor: 549690339
Alpha did as instructed, carrying a sleeping Gamma in one arm and in the other, dragging back the flesh from the vicinity of the Sawtooth Earthworm King¡¯s gold ring to Bai Qi¡¯s side.
Unlike the body that had thoroughly dried out into jerky, the flesh near the gold ring still maintained its vitality.
Moreover, it was clear that the closer it was to the gold ring on the skin, the stronger the vitality. It was even slowly generating new flesh.
Earth Gold Ring, an Epic Material.
Seeing Bai Qi professionally extract the most valuable part from the Sawtooth Earthworm King, Wang Huai couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°And I thought you were some academic type of Beast Master, Bai Qi. Your skills¡ they¡¯re more proficient than even Xusheng¡¯s.¡±
Bai Qi gave a faint smile. Ever since he found out that the Evolution Egg could acquire skills from the core parts of ferocious beasts, Bai Qi could say that he spent the most time on the resource processing ss. His theoretical and practical skills made him the shiest youth in the entire training camp.
However, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t greedy. He nced at Alpha, who immediately cut the Earth Gold Ring into six equal portions. He kept only one portion for himself, while Bai Qi passed the rest directly to Wang Huai.
Though he had not truly ventured out into the wild, he still knew of some established norms.
Spoils from enemies defeated solo belonged to the individual, for cooperative battles, besides some particrly valuable items going to the person who contributed the most, the rest was equally divided.
At least during their training camp, that was how they handled loot involving group battles.
This big Earth Gold Ring was a good ten meters long. Even divided into six, it would be enough for Gamma.
After all, they were just Epic Materials. There was no need to be so petty. And from the looks of it, there might still be a great number of ferocious beasts ahead
Slow and steady wins the race, right?
Seeing this, Wang Huai didn¡¯t refuse either, readily epting the Earth Gold Ring and handing it to Li Xusheng and the others.
¡°Thanks.¡±
Li Xusheng, as usual, was not particrly talkative. He responded quietly and spoke no further, while Tang Miao seemed quite happy.
¡°Thanks! This big chunk of Earth Gold Ring can definitely be sold for a pretty penny, I¡¯ll be able to afford that handbag I had my eye on!¡±
Tang Miao received the Earth Gold Ring, her eyes filled with excitement.
¡°You¡¯re thinking¡¡±
¡°¡Too much.¡±
The Baili Brothers each spoke half a sentence, rapidly dampening Tang Miao¡¯s excitement. They then turned their attention to Bai Qi.
¡°Thankyou for¡¡±
¡°The Earth Gold Ring.¡±
¡°From now on, we are¡¡±
¡°Good friends.¡±
Watching the brothers¡¯ seamless dialogue, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t restrain a smile, ¡°You¡¯re wee, do you always talk like this?¡±
¡°Yes, is there any¡¡±
¡°Issue with that?¡±
Under the curious gaze of the Baili Brothers, Bai Qi felt a bit ufortable and scratched his head, ¡°Cough, no issue, it¡¯s quite good.¡±
Seeing this, Wang Huai chuckled, ¡°They¡¯ve been like this since they were little. You¡¯ll get used to it. But their teamwork is indeed quite good.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, twins indeed had a unique connection that most people didn¡¯t have. Their natural affinity for teamwork was more innate than others. Seeing the way the Baili brothers were, he figured they were probably some of the best.
Each of them spoke half of the sentences, which meant their coordination couldn¡¯t be far off.
Having addressed the distribution of the spoils, the group once again prepared to set off.
The twenty-plus kilometer journey wasn¡¯t far for Beast Masters. But the path was full of ferocious beasts, so it still took them a considerable amount of time to reach the entrance to the training field.
Just as they had seen from a distance, the training field was entirely made of ck metal etched with ancient runes. Bai Qi could vaguely make out some of them, but there were some slight differences with the runes he had encountered before, so he couldn¡¯t be sure if he was correct.
¡°ording to reports from other groups, there will be three waves of attacks after entering. The specific types that will be encountered are unknown, likely generated randomly. And the levels will be assigned ording to the level of the challenger.¡±
Wang Huai paused for a moment, ¡°Because of Bai Qi, our team has the advantage. Everyone rest and recuperate for half an hour, and then we¡¯ll move out.¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
Li Xusheng and the others all acknowledged the order, then sat down at the entrance to the training field, taking out their rations to replenish their energy.
Although they had intentionally conserved energy, the number of ferocious beasts they encountered along the way was too high, causing their condition to deteriorate. Naturally, they needed to replenish their energy.
This was especially the case for Beast Masters with fusion talents like Li Xusheng. Even with the enhancement of their tamed beasts, they still had to fight personally, so the consumption was no small matter.
Looking at the whole team, Bai Qi seemed the most rxed.
Alpha already had the capacity to fight independently. Bai Qi did not participate in the battles, only issuing directions asionally.
In addition, he didn¡¯t even have to walk as he had sat on the Barrier Tree Man the entire way. It was almost like he was out on a sightseeing trip.
That said, Bai Qi did not act differently. Like everyone else, he took out an Angel Fruit from the Secret Realm Ring and started eating.
The moment Bai Qi took out the Angel Fruit, Tang Miao¡¯s nose twitched unconsciously, and she quickly turned to look at Bai Qi.
¡°Angel Fruit?!¡±
Tang Miao moved close to Bai Qi and carefully studied it before she couldn¡¯t helpining.
¡°Captain, didn¡¯t you say that our assault team had the best treatment? Look at this!¡±
Wang Huai gave a bitter smile, ¡°The perks of the assault team are indeed the best, I never lied about that. But your¡¡±
Looking at their reactions, Bai Qi was taken aback. He took a few more from the Secret Realm Ring and handed them to Tang Miao, ¡°Do you want to have some? I still have more.¡±
Ever since the Jade Dragon started enjoying gardening, the Angel Fruit, which was once scarce, had be asmon as apples to Bai Qi.
If there was a difference, it was¡ An Angel Fruit might be slightly tastier?
Tang Miao, who was staring nkly at the Angel Fruit in his hand, asked, ¡°Captain, is it toote for me to quit the team now?¡±
¡°Give it up. Otherwise, I might run away before you do.¡±
Wang Huai shook his head with a bitter smile, handing the Angel Fruits to the others, and said, ¡°Thanks a lot. With this, we can all go all out. The cost? Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll have it reimbursed from above as soon as we get out.¡±
Unlike the previous spoils of war, these Angel Fruits were Bai Qi¡¯s personal belongings. He wouldn¡¯t have the audacity to just ept them without dividing any expenses.
¡°Fine, I¡¯ve got more if you need them.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t wimping around. After all, Wang Huai had the expenses reimbursed. He didn¡¯t mind helping out a bit.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll find you if we need more.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Wang Huai sighed in despair. Angel Fruits, which cost hundreds of thousands each, were indeed beyond his consumption capacity.
With the help of the Angel Fruits, everyone regained their energy in less than half an hour, and their beasts also got enough rest.
¡°Let¡¯s get to work.¡±
Wang Huai stood up and nced at his team members behind him. He proceeded to push open the doors of the training grounds.
Upon their entrance into the training grounds, the walls lit up with Runes and two tforms raised up from the middle ground of the previously vast and empty ce. On the opposite tform, rows of stone figurines holding bows and arrows stood in formation.
After assessing the situation, Wang Huai quickly made a judgment and looked at the Baili brothers and said, ¡°It¡¯s a long-ranged attack test. Desert, Sea of Starlight¡ it¡¯s on you.¡±
¡°No problem, leave it to¡¡±
¡°Us.¡±
The two of them responded in unison, summoning their respective beasts and stepping onto the tform.
Humming¡
Right after the two of them stepped on the tform, streams of Runes started glowing on the initially ragged bodies of the archer effigies. And immediately, they nocked and loosed their arrows in one go.
Faced with the flurry of arrows, the Baili brothers didn¡¯t panic in the least. With ck me Snake on the attack and White Ice Boa on the defense, they didn¡¯t feel any pressure.
Were these Rune Puppets?
No, Rune Puppets were a bit moreplex. But it seemed that the capability of these stone figurines was a bit stronger?
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and immediately summoned Husky.
¡°Schuck, record these Runes. We¡¯U research them thoroughly when we get back.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Schuck nodded, his electronic eyes fixed on those stone figurines, starting to record.
¡°Is this your second beast? Mechanical Engineering Department?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Well, I happened to spot some Runes I had never seen before. It will be more convenient for it to record them.¡±
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao nodded and stared at Beta, who looked like he hadn¡¯t fully woken up yet, his heart fluttering.
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai with a resigned sigh coughed twice, and said, ¡°Ahem, Tang Miao, mind the asion.¡±
¡°Alright¡¡±
Tang Miao pouted, shifting his gaze with some reluctance.
Bang!
Just then, a loud noise came from the tform. The Baili brothers, who were having an easy time till now, suddenly had their defense broken by a massive crossbow bolt and were exposed to the rain of arrows unguarded.
Whoosh!
Upon seeing this, Li Xusheng, who had already been prepared, materialized next to the two men in a sh, pulling them along while leaping clear of the arrow storm in the nick of time.
It appeared that the archer effigies weren¡¯t considering any pursuit. After the three men stepped off the tform, they stopped attacking, but the Runes on their bodies turned red the next instant.
¡°The rm was still triggered, huh.¡±
Wang Huai looked serious; the report did mention that if an outsider intervened during the trial, these stone figurines would go into a raging state, causing their attack and defense attributes to double.
Being the only two long-ranged attackers on the team, the Baili brothers couldn¡¯t even defeat the stone figurines in their normal state. They stood no chance against them in a frenzied state.
¡°Xusheng, try to force a breakthroughter.¡±
After some pondering, Wang Huai looked at Li Xusheng. Given that Li Xusheng seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, he picked up his pair of hammers and got ready to hop onto the tform.
¡°Err, this has to be a long-ranged attack to pass, right?¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately asked, ¡°Well, this guy is best at long- ranged attacks. Let him have a try.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Wang Huai hesitated. Although Bai Qi had performed quite well in the past, and Mechanical Engineering Department was indeed proficient in long-ranged attacks, but judging by the beast¡¯s appearance, it seemed it didn¡¯t carry many mechanical weapons. He really had no idea how it was going to y out.
Li Xusheng was indeed a closebat attacker, so storming in blindly might trigger some other penalty mechanism.
Thinking about it, Wang Huai hesitated between Bai Qi and Li Xusheng for a long time. He finally sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Xusheng, wait a little longer.¡±
Hearing Wang Huai¡¯smand, Li Xusheng slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth as if he wanted to say something but eventually stepped aside.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but pat Schuck and Beta on their heads and asked, ¡°Have you finished recording?¡±
¡°Finished.¡±
¡°Good, then go ahead and destroy them!¡±
Chapter 160 - 159: Armored Warrior?
Chapter 159: Armored Warrior?
Trantor: 549690339
Awooo?
(Human, have you lost your mind?)
Beta stared at Bai Qi in disbelief, obviously surprised to hear the word ¡°disassemble¡± from Bai Qi¡¯s mouth.
Bai Qinded a heavy punch on Beta, saying, ¡°When I tell you to disassemble, just do it. No more nonsense!¡±
Woof woof!
(Disassemble!)
Having received Bai Qi1 s confirmation, Beta nodded continuously before turning to Schuck, who was checking the recorded rune data.
Woof woof!
(Schuck, let me control this time!)
¡°I don¡¯t care, but are you sure you can handle it?¡±
Woof woof!
(You can look down on me, but you can¡¯t look down on yourself!)
¡°To be honest, it¡¯s because we are one and the same that I¡¯m not so sure.¡±
¡°Bai Qi, are you sure this guy is reliable?¡±
Watching his Husky argue with himself, Wang Huai suddenly felt that his decision seemed a bit hasty.
¡°No worries, you¡¯ll get used to it.¡±
Bai Qi dismissed it with a wave of his hand, not finding anything strange, but Wang Huai was a bit overwhelmed.
Brother, it¡¯s not a matter of getting used to it now, but whether we can clear the level.
Finally, under the copsing gazes of the group, the two consciousnesses of the Husky reached an agreement and leaped onto the tform.
Click click click¡
Due to the state of frenzy, the moment Huskynded on the tform, the Archer Terracottasunched a number of arrows. Among them were several crossbow arrows shing with red energy that rapidly arrived above Husky¡¯s head.
¡°Be careful, these arrows¡¡±
¡°Have great impact!¡±
The Baili Brothers immediately warned, as the attack speed was quicker than what they faced before and Husky had no time to summon his weapon.
Ding ding ding¡
Before Bai Qi could respond, a series of crisp sounds came from the tform.
¡°Even though they are cold weapons, their power is really not weak¡¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Etherium Liquid Gold shield in front of Husky that was shot by crossbow arrows to form several deep pits, and nodded slightly.
If one disregards the core weaponry, these Archer Terracottas¡¯ destructive power is on par to second or third tier bullet-firing guns already. The creations of the Founding Emperor Period were indeed solid.
Schuck, who deflected all the attacks with Etherium Liquid Gold, looked at the Archer Terracottas that had no intentions of stopping their attack and said to Beta: ¡°It¡¯s your turn.¡±
Woof woof!
(No problem!)
Beta let out two excited barks and started to mimic weapons with his half of Etherium Liquid Gold.
¡°A hammer, a wrench, an electric saw¡¡±
Although he was surprised that Husky could freely mimic weapons, Tang Miao was still speechless upon seeing the actual weapons.
¡°Bai Qi, I¡¯m suddenly convinced that you really doe from a mechanical martial background.¡±
¡°Ahem!¡±
Bai Qi coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, suddenly regretting letting Beta participate in the battle.
Fighting should obviously be left to Schuck to handle. The wonderful super skill ¡°Mechanical Lord¡± has been made into something weird by Beta.
It¡¯s clear a Husky will always be a Husky. Looks like he can only be used as a living radar in the future.
Beta, who was using Mechanical Lord for the first time, was obviously curious, constantly changing shapes until he felt the murderous intent from someone behind him and remembered the task at hand.
Awooo!
With a melodious howl, the Etherium Liquid Gold began to move, extending into several mechanical arms. It skillfully avoided the harassment of the arrow rain, came directly upon the opposing tform, and started to bash the Archer Terracottas.
¡°Bai Qi, do you call this a ranged attack?¡±
Wang Huai¡¯s eye twitched slightly as his understanding was once again challenged. Bai Qi, on the other hand, was too weary to exin and directly connected with Schuck.
¡°What are you guys up to?¡±
Schuck: ¡°Recording from a distance could potentially have errors, so we nned to bring one back for study, and also ¡¡±
¡°Was it not you, Beast Master, who told him to disassemble it?¡±
Bai Qi sighed with his hands over his face. Although he knew that Schuck was meticulous, he wondered if he had to be so literal with his words. Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if it was sted to smithereens?
Forget it, no point arguing with a dog.
However, one had to admit, Beta¡¯s disassembly ability was indeedmendable. He easily took apart an Archer Terracotta into individual parts, without damaging any of the runes on them.
However, Beta¡¯s actions clearly triggered the Archer Terracotta¡¯s self-protection mechanism again. They turned around and started to attack theirpanion who was already disassembled into parts.
Awooo!
(Let¡¯s go let¡¯s go¡)
Upon seeing this, Beta quickly wrapped the parts of the Archer Terracotta and brought it back. The Archer Terracotta showed no signs of letting up and pursued all the way.
When the Archer Terracotta¡¯s target returned to the tform on the opposite side, the original metal wall had once again transformed into a giant wolf head statue.
Thunder Roar Cannon ¨C Giant Wolf Form!
Under Schuck¡¯s control, the giant wolf slowly opened its mouth. Thunder me Power had already condensed inside it and was directly transformed into a beam of light, spraying out towards the Archer Terracotta.
The powerful energy disintegrated all the arrows along the way directly, and the Archer Terracotta was almost defenselessly enveloped by the Thunder me Power. When the Thunder me Power dissipated, the opposite tform was empty, and not a trace of the Archer Terracotta could be seen.
Tang Miao stared in shock as the previously frivolous Husky defeated the Archer Terracotta array with a single blow, his face nk as he asked, ¡°Desert, Sea of Starlight, is your fusion technique that powerful?¡±
¡°It should be, but¡¡±
¡°It takes time.¡±
The Baili brothers looked at the Husky, bursting with pride as it jumped off the tform, a strange look flickering in their eyes.
¡°This wolf is very¡¡±
¡°Excellent.¡±
¡°We both really¡¡±
¡°Like it.¡±
Woof woof!
(Human, how did I perform this time?)
Beta came in front of Bai Qi with a severed limb in its mouth, its face full of expectation.
Seeing Beta¡¯s ¡°praise me, praise me¡± face, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. However, he still patted Beta¡¯s head in approval.
¡°Not bad, keep up the good work next time.¡±
Awoo awoo¡
Receiving Bai Qi¡¯s praise, it couldn¡¯t help but let out about of howling.
Rumble rumble¡
Two tforms slowly descended, and a bronze road appeared on the previously dirt-covered ground, extending to the center of the school field.
¡°We can continue forward now.¡±
Seeing this, Wang Huai turned to Bai Qi and the Baili brothers, and said, ¡°Do you need to rest for a while?¡±
¡°Not necessary, we¡¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t consume much energy.¡±
Although it was slightly embarrassing, they indeed had been knocked down quickly by the Archer Terracotta and hardly strained at all.
¡°What about you, Bai Qi?¡±
Wang Huai turned his head to look at Bai Qi, who just shrugged and pointed at the Husky, which was still howling at the sky.
¡°Alright, forget I asked.¡±
Wang Huai chuckled wryly and shook his head. This wasn¡¯t the work of a Third Stage Beast Master anymore; he would believe it if someone said Bai Qi was at the peak of the Fourth Stage.
Along the bronze road, the group continued to move forward. Upon reaching the end, another giant tform rose, and in the center of the tform, there was a single terracotta soldier. It wasrger than the previous ones and fully armed.
¡°A General Terracotta?¡±
Seeing the opponent for the second stage, Wang Huai frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a figure had already dashed out.
It was LiXusheng.
The moment Li Xusheng stepped into the range of the tform, a cage of thorns immediately rose up around the tform, sealing Li Xusheng and the General Terracotta within.
¡°Xusheng, be careful. The previous groups all lost to this opponent in the end.¡±
Wang Huai nced at the slowly awakening General Terracotta and reminded Li Xusheng wisely. ording to the experience of the previous groups, the General Terracotta should be the guardian for the third stage. To encounter it now, they were indeed unlucky.
¡°I got it.¡±
Li Xusheng responded indifferently, and summoned three pets and fused them into his body.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow. He had just seen both the Rakshasa Demon Elephant and the Electric Fur Rat, and now it turned out that the third pet was also a Lord-level creature.
[Name]: Blood Armor Crocodile
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Level]: Third Stage, Level Five
If he wasn¡¯t mistaken, that Rakshasa Demon Elephant also seemed to be a Lord-level creature.
Li Xusheng was fusing with three pets at once, two of which were Lord-level creatures. Was he not worried about exploding from all the power?
As Bai Qi wondered this, Li Xusheng sessfully integrated the three pets into his body. In addition to the initial set of double hammers and the boots, Li Xusheng now also wore a blood-colored armor.
¡°So he¡¯s nning on bing an armored warrior¡¡±
Bai Qi muttered to himself. The enhancements ¨C attack, defense, speed ¨C each one focused on an area of specialization.
He was certain that Li Xusheng had chosen his contract pets deliberately.
But following this pattern, was there another pet that could boost intelligence?
After sessfully merging with the three pets, Li Xusheng immediatelyunched an attack on the General Terracotta.
With the Electric Fur Rat¡¯s boots enhancing his speed, Li Xusheng¡¯s movementspletely surpassed the limits of a normal human being. Bai Qi even saw afterimages in the air. Within an instant, Li Xusheng reached the front of the General Terracotta.
However, the General Terracotta¡¯s movements were exceptionally nimble. As Xusheng¡¯s double hammers were about to smash into its head, it suddenly raised its long halberd to block the attack, and then kicked towards Li Xusheng.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng immediately dodged to the side, but the General Terracotta seemed to have predicted Li Xusheng¡¯s move. The halberd whipped around to the side, hitting Li Xusheng squarely.
This sequence of moves were fluid as a stream, without the slightest pause, it waspletely unbelievable that they were performed by a mud figurine.
Li Xusheng grunted when he was hit by the General Terracotta but stood firmly on his feet, turned his hammer around, and attacked the vulnerable spots on the General Terracotta. However, the General Terracotta managed to defend against each strike, quickly increasing the distance from Li Xusheng. Taking full advantage of its longer weapon, the General Terracotta denied Li Xusheng any chance of closing in.
¡°Tsk¡ it¡¯s a bit like a martial arts drama, eh? Schuck, remember to record this to provoke Alphater.¡±
¡± I started recording a while ago.¡±
Schuck responded casually. The runes on this General Terracotta were obviously moreplex than those on the Archer Terracotta, so he had already started recording before the two started fighting.
However, using it to stimte that skeleton was also a good idea.
Cough cough, why would I have this subconscious idea? Did I not separatepletely in the first ce?
Chapter 161 - 16o: Blood Manipulation
Chapter 16o: Blood Maniption
Trantor: 549690339 |
The battle between Li Xusheng and the General Terracotta didn¡¯tst too long. After exchanging several strikes, the attack speed of the General Terracotta suddenly increased,unching a storm of thrusts at Li Xusheng.
Faced with the General Terracotta¡¯s sudden change of pace, Li Xusheng tried his best to evade, but the tform was only so big. The advantage of the Electric Fur Rat¡¯s speed could not be fully employed, and he was gradually forced into a corner.
Shwick!
Finally, when Li Xusheng had no room to retreat, the General Terracotta suddenly thrust out with his halberd, grazed past Li Xusheng¡¯s face, and a long thin wound instantly appeared on Li Xusheng¡¯s face.
However, not a drop of blood was shed.
¡°Xusheng, be careful!¡±
The General Terracotta, having gained an advantage, did not miss this opportunity and aimed each thrust at Li Xusheng¡¯s head.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng clenched his teeth, blocking the halberd with a short hammer and smashed another hammer into the ground. A blood ¨C red thunderbolt quickly spread, forcing the General Terracotta to retreat to the side.
During this brief respite, another beast was summoned by Li Xusheng.
[Name]: Scavenger Vulture
[Attribute]: Flight System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Growth Stage]: Three Stages and One Level
Another Lord Level!
As soon as the Scavenger Vulture appeared, itnded directly on the top of Li Xusheng¡¯s head and then turned into a fully enclosed helmet, protecting Li Xusheng¡¯s head.
It actually formed another set of equipment!
That¡¯s quite impressive even for a cross-breed.
Bai Qi watched Li Xusheng¡¯s actions, one pet, one equipment. If he promoted it to the Seven Stage Legend, wouldn¡¯t he summon the war god with seven beasts?
With the addition of a helmet, Li¡¯s movements became noticeably more agile. However, the most significant change was that he seemed able to predict the General Terracotta¡¯s attacks. The General Terracotta¡¯s speed no longer posed a threat to him.
Finally, after some dogfighting, Li Xusheng found an opportunity. A hammer knocked the halberd out of the General Terracotta¡¯s hand, and then another heavy hammer struck the General Terracotta¡¯s chest.
Sizzle, sizzle¡
The blood-colored lightning spread through the short hammer to the whole body of the General Terracotta, and the y shell of the General Terracotta started to crack.
¡°Won?!¡±
Seeing the state of General Terracotta, Wang Huai and others¡¯ eyes lit up, already envisioning their chance of victory.
Boom!
However, at this moment, the desperate General Terracotta suddenly pulled out a bronze sword from somewhere and swiftly cut across Li Xusheng¡¯s chest. Li Xusheng was thrown back by the tremendous force that came with the sword, and bright red blood sprayed all over the tform.
¡°Howe there¡¯s another sword! It wasn¡¯t mentioned in the intel!¡±
Seeing Li Xusheng ambushed by the General Terracotta, Wang Huai was somewhat excited and immediately summoned the Barrier Tree Man, nning to forcefully break the cage and save him.
¡°No need, I can handle it.¡±
Li Xusheng slowly got up. On his chest, one could clearly see a bone-deep wound. However, besides a few drops of blood at first, blood no longer flowed out of the wound on Li¡¯s chest.
Even the blood that had previously flowed out appeared to be flowing back in.
Was it the skill of the Blood Armor Crocodile?
It wasn¡¯t heard that the Blood Armor Crocodile had the ability to control blood, had it?
Bai Qi slightly frowned. He had encountered the Blood Armor Crocodile in resource handling sses. Although ¡®blood¡¯ was in its name and its skin was indeed blood-colored, it was just due to the environment it lived in. It didn¡¯t mean it had blood-controlling abilities.
As for the other beasts, it was even less likely.
Could it be¡
Bai Qi looked at Li Xusheng. Not only was the blood around the wound flowing backward, but even the blood that had sprayed on the ground was flowing back. The wound on Li Xusheng¡¯s chest was also slowly healing.
As expected, was it due to the power of his other half of the legendary creature bloodline?
After reabsorbing all the blood, Li Xusheng¡¯s condition returned to normal, and the blood armor on his chest began to heal. However, Li Xusheng dispersed the blood armor, and even his helmet and boots.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect to have to use Xusheng¡¯s second talent in the end. We¡¯ll have to write an inspection report when we get back.¡±
Seeing this, Wang Huai sighed helplessly, a hint of worry shing in his eyes.
¡°Tang Miao, prepare the Awakening Potion. Inject Xusheng the moment hees out.¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Tang Miao also looked solemn. He loaded a potion into an injection gun, his eyes fixed on Li Xusheng, ready for anything.
It seemed there was a problem with this ability?
Bai Qi was curious but didn¡¯ t ask.
Although they got along well with Wang Huai and the others, they hadn¡¯t known each other for very long. Besides, judging from their previous reactions, it was apparent that Li Xusheng¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t something that they could discuss casually.
Come to think of it, had Li Xusheng not used this before while in the Tower of Gratitude?
Just as Li Xusheng shed his armor, the earthen shell around the General Terracotta¡¯s body had alsopletely peeled off, revealing a bronze figure.
Damn, they¡¯re like a nested doll everywhere I go!
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly at the sight of the bronze body hidden under the General Terracotta¡¯s earthen armor.
Could you try mixing things up a bit? It¡¯s hard for me to think that underneath this bronze body, there might not be a silver or even golden one?
The General Terracotta, having shed its earthen armor, was slightly smaller, but it was still towering over a typical man, still adorned with runes, gradually turning red, effectively entering a berserk state.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng remained unphased and ripped off his broken battle uniform, revealing his muscr physique, before swinging his twin hammers and moving in for the attack.
Seeing Li Xusheng attack, the General Terracotta simrly swung his sword to meet it. His speed was even faster than before, leaving a sword mark on Li Xusheng¡¯s body almost instantly.
However, Li Xusheng seemedpletely unaffected, allowing the General Terracotta to sh his body, while his twin hammers unwaveringly smashed toward its face.
Boom!
The twin hammers hit the General Terracotta¡¯s head, leaving only two shallow dents. But Li Xusheng didn¡¯t stop, he continued to attack relentlessly with his hammers,pletely giving up his defense, letting the General Terracotta inflict wound after wound on his body.
The General Terracotta seemed to understand Li Xusheng¡¯s intention and immediately tried to pull back to retrieve his halberd. But just as he tried to step back, he found his feet firmly held by a pair of bloody hands.
The source was indeed Li Xusheng¡¯s wound.
¡°So it is indeed blood control¡¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi finally confirmed Li Xusheng¡¯s ability, and almost unconsciously began to guess the origin of Li Xusheng¡¯s legendary bloodline.
Blood control, and mixed blood¡ It couldn¡¯t be a vampire, could it? It seemed like vampires loved to deceive young human girls.
An aggressive talent, and quite a mboyant one at that. I want that!
Bai Qi smacked his lips enviously. It was a shame that the Evolution Egg couldn¡¯t be used on humans, otherwise if he got his hands on some Mythical Materials, life would be blissful.
The general Terracotta, trapped by the bloody hand, shed at the hand first. The hand was immediately severed but quickly reconnected, even splitting into two arms to hold the general Terracotta.
At this point, Li Xusheng¡¯s eyes had turnedpletely blood-red, hinting at the underlying berserk nature, but his expression somehow became colder.
Berserk and frigid, both feelings appearing simultaneously on one person.
¡°You¡¯ve had your fill, it¡¯s my turn now!¡±
Li Xusheng cracked his neck, the blood slowly covered the twin hammers, and then he went crazy smashing them into the general Terracotta¡¯s face.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each hammer strike, it was as if thunder rocked the air, the runes on the General Terracotta¡¯s body dimmed. By the time the General Terracotta¡¯s skull waspletely crushed, there was no light left on its body.
¡°Tang Miao, get ready.¡±
Seeing that Li Xusheng was about to win, Wang Huai became even more nervous. Even the Baili brothers prepared for battle.
My goodness, why do I feel like they¡¯re even more on edge than when facing ferocious beasts? Could he possibly go berserk and transform into a silver super saiyan? Or no, a giant gori?
Finally, after the General Terracotta has been thoroughly smashed, the cage on the tform slowly receded, but Li Xusheng was still holding the General Terracotta¡¯s form unwaveringly, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this, Wang Huai and Tang Miao exchanged nces. Tang Miao immediately understood and aimed straight at Li Xusheng, triggering the trigger without hesitation.
Boom!
A crisp sound, an injection burst out, flying straight towards the back of Li Xusheng¡¯s neck.
These guns are usually used to shoot tranquilizer darts to catch ferocious or out of control beasts, so the injection is extremely fast, no evil beast can escape.
But just when the injection was about to pierce Li Xusheng, a massive bloody hand suddenly oozed from his wound, firmly mped the injection.
Seeing the injection fail, Wang Huai and others all tightened their expressions, about to try again together, when they heard Li Xusheng¡¯s voice.
¡°Captain, I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t need to inject this.¡±
Li Xusheng casually threw the injection on the ground, his body swaying slightly. The blood from the outer wound quickly retreated back into his body, and his face gradually regained some color.
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai immediately approached, gave Li Xusheng a quick check, then immediately summoned the Barrier Tree Man to give Li Xusheng a vitality aura to speed up his recovery.
Rumble¡
After Li Xusheng left the tform, the tform slowly disappeared into the ground, while another bronze road appeared before them.
¡°Xusheng has spent a lot, let¡¯s rest a bit before challenging the next round.¡±
After cing Li Xusheng, Wang Huai turned to look at Bai Qi, but found that Bai Qi had already arrived before the crushed General Terracotta, a look of regret on his face.
¡°Tsk¡ The most important head rune is gone, how am I going to restore this? Schuck, did you manage to record it?¡±
¡°The runes on the earth armor are clear, but the ones on the bronze body seem a bit different, and I didn¡¯t have time to record them.¡±
Bai Qi sighed after hearing this and idly poked the remains of the General Terracotta.
¡°Looking at the situation, I¡¯ll go in the next round after all, it would be too wasteful otherwise¡¡±
Chapter 162 - 161: Ancient Species Creatures
Chapter 161: Ancient Species Creatures
Trantor: 549690339
Although his face waspletely disfigured by Li Xusheng¡¯s attack, Bai Qi, adhering to a principle of not wasting anything, still gathered the remains of the General Terracotta, intending to study them in detailter on.
¡°The guardian of the third level suddenly appears on the second, indicating the difficulty of the next level. Everyone needs to be mentally prepared.¡±
Wang Huai looked around and said, ¡°Xusheng is temporarily unfit for intensebat, so I will take the next level. You all watch carefully. Even if we fail, we should at least collect as much information about the opponent as we can for analysis.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Tang Miao and the others nodded unanimously, obviously aware of the difficulty of the next level.
Wang Huai patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you aren¡¯t a member of our assault team. Your priority should be self preservation. I wouldn¡¯t know how to exin things to Minister Yi otherwise.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be careful.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Wang Huai and the others seemed to have done their homework before tackling the stages, but they were still caught off guard. As a third ¨C stage Beast Master, there was truly no need for him to take unnecessary risks.
However, if they were to encounter another enemy like the General Terracotta, adorned with runes he had never seen before, he wouldn¡¯t mind lending a hand.
Otherwise, if Li Xusheng were to intervene, things might be messy all over again.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi nced at Li Xusheng, only to find that his state seemed somewhat unstable, his eyes flickering manically between sanity and insanity.
Was this a side-effect of using Blood Ability?
Bai Qi was taken aback for a moment before suddenly remembering something. He took out a green dragon scale and handed it to Li Xusheng, saying, Hold this and give it a try. It might help.¡±
Li Xusheng looked puzzled at this unexpected suggestion, but after sensing the strong life force emanating from the green dragon scale, he gratefully epted it.
¡°Thank you.¡±
With the aid of the green dragon scale, Li Xusheng¡¯s condition clearly improved.
¡°Bai Qi, is this a dragon scale?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±
Wang Huai and the others looked at each other, silently linking Bai Qi to wealthy or legendary families.
Indeed, the rumors about Bai Qi being a nephew of Legendary Celestial Brilliance seemed to be true. Otherwise, how could he have developed Rune Evolution, and even raised such powerful creatures?
However, judging from Bai Qi¡¯s carefree gesture when he handed over the dragon scale, the rumors of him being Bai Chuanqi¡¯s illegitimate son seemed more credible.
About half an hourter, Li Xusheng had finished resting. After returning the green dragon scale to Bai Qi, they continued on their journey.
However, not long after they set off, the entire training field suddenly started shaking violently. The ground not far ahead copsed and a deep, enormous tunnel appeared out of nowhere.
¡°Everyone, be ready.¡±
Seeing this, Wang Huai¡¯s eyes hardened, and he promptly signaled the group to prepare themselves.
Roar¡
The ground soon stopped trembling. A low growl of a wild beast echoed faintly from within the tunnel. At the same time, a horrendous pressure descended upon them.
It was the aura of ferocious beasts!
The group exchanged nces and quickly summoned their beasts. The Baili brothers even huddled together. The red and blue Rune Marks on their foreheads appeared, clearly showing they were ready to go all out at once. Finally, apanied by a strong stench of blood, a gigantic saber-toothed tiger slowly sauntered out from the tunnel. It scanned Wang Huai and the others with sharp vertical pupils, unconsciously licking its lips.
It had taken them as food!
¡°Desert in the Sea of Starlight,bine!¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
Upon hearing Wang Huai¡¯smand, the Baili brothers responded together for once. The red and blue Rune Marks on their foreheads began to glow brightly and formed a red and blue yin-yang pattern in the air.
Following this, the ck me Snake and the White Ice Boa instantly entwined and raced towards the yin-yang pattern.
As the ck me Snake and White Ice Boa passed through the yin-yang pattern, their bodies began to transform. They had unountably turned into a gigantic flood dragon with a red and blue unicorn-like horn.
What sort of talent is this that can transform them into dragons?!
What if these two brothers attain the Legend stage? Then wouldn¡¯t they be real dragons?
Are all the members of the assault team so ridiculously talented?!
However, the state of the Water-Fire Dragon seemed unstable. Its transformation had a tendency to copse after passing through the yin-yang pattern. But the Baili brothers intended only to use it for an attack and signaled at the saber-toothed tiger.
¡°Twin Impact!¡±
As soon as they said this, the Water-Fire Dragon opened its mouth wide and released a two-colored energy wave towards the saber-toothed tiger. The magnitude of the attack was just as formidable, if not more, than the Thunder me Power.
The power of water and fire was not supposed to blend together. However, if they did, thebined power wouldn¡¯t be any less formidable than the Thunder me Power. With the higher level, the Water-Fire Dragon would likely prevail over the Husky even if they were to fight it directly.
However, this transformation was too slow and easy to evade.
As expected, just as the Water-Fire Dragon began its transformation, the saber-toothed tiger already sensed something was wrong and prepared to dodge. Even though the Twin Impact attack was exceptionally fast, the tiger managed to escape with only a small scratch on its skin.
Roar!
The moment it appeared, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to be enraged. It roared towards the sky, and a gust of ck wind started sweeping across the training ground.
¡°Beta, any data yet?¡±
¡°Unable to detect a matching record in the database. However, judging from the energy fluctuations, it should be a Fifth Stage Monarch Creature.
¡°Fifth Stage Monarch?¡±
Bai Qi appeared puzzled at this news but became certain after seeing Wang Huai and others¡¯ flickering detection instruments.
¡°Everyone be careful, this is a Fifth Stage Monarch Ferocious Beast! Moreover, it might be an Ancient Species!¡±
Wang Huai looked serious. He blocked everyone behind the Barrier Tree Man while his green Rune Mark on his forehead flickered. The Barrier Tree Man began growing rapidly, with countless branches stretching and intertwining, forming arge wall in no time.
Meanwhile, Tang Miao had also activated his talent, merging with the Sky- Attacking Mantis. He was definitely a bearer of Fusion Gift.
For Beast Masters, who spent most of their time wandering outdoors, the Fusion Gift was most suitable. At least when they encountered enemies they couldn¡¯t beat, both the pet beast and the Beast Master could escape together.
As for Li Xusheng, he directly entered the Four Armored Fusion Form, silently waiting for the right moment.
Seeing this, Bai Qi also summoned all three of his pet beasts.
On the way here, he had learned why the Thirteenth Bureau didn¡¯t send higher level Beast Masters.
The reason was simple: the training ground would adjust the level of the Guardians based on the level and status of the participants. The difference in energy value and skills would be horrifying above Fourth Stage.
Therefore, after analysis by the strategy department of the Thirteenth Bureau, the Fourth Stage was determined to be the most appropriate level.
However, who could have imagined they¡¯d encounter such a powerful enemy.
Fifth Stage signified a qualitative leap in energy value.
Monarch level indicated that the opponent was able to suppress them across races.
And Ancient Species meant that they had absolutely no information at hand and had to explore on their own.
One could say that the only advantage they had in this battle was in numbers, but numbers were of little use when faced with higher stage life forms.
As expected, the ivy wall of the Barrier Tree Man couldn¡¯t withstand the cutting of the ck wind for long. Soon, several crevices were cut out. Although Wang Huai tried his best to maintain it, he was obviously struggling.
Seeing this situation, Li Xusheng and Tang Miao exchanged a nce. They bypassed the ivy wall and attacked the saber-toothed tiger. Meanwhile, the Baili Brothers began preparing for their next wave of attack.
The saber-toothed tiger¡¯s previous dodging behavior had made it clear that it was quite wary of the Baili Brothers¡¯ Twin Attack. They naturally knew what to do.
¡°Alpha, you go assist in the attack. Schuck and Beta, support from a distance and find its weak points. Gamma, urn¡ go help the Barrier Tree Man defend.¡± Seeing everyone from the special attack team get into state, Bai Qi also was not in a mood to idle. He allocated tasks to the three pet beasts one after the other.
Crackling sounds.
(Boss, can we go all out in the attack?)
Woof woof woof!
(I hate cats the most!)
Squelch squelch?
(Am I going to eat again?)
The three pet beasts muttered a bit in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, and then quickly got into state.
Howling sounds.
Apanied by a wolf howl, everyone present, including the pet beasts, felt a boost in spirit, as if they had endless strength. On the other hand, the action of the roaring saber-toothed tiger paused briefly, apparently affected by this. Demonic Roar, a group-enhancing battle cry, had finally been put to use today. Seeing that Bai Qi¡¯s second pet beast mastered such a skill, Wang Huai felt instantly enlightened. While maintaining his growth gift, he also applied a vitality aura to everyone.
Under the enhancement of the Twin Pets¡¯ BUFF, everyone¡¯s state had reached a peak. Alpha turned into a shadow and crossed Li Xusheng and Tang Miao, who had set off earlier, and was the first to arrive in front of the saber-toothed tiger.
Such a fast speed!
Tang Miao raised an eyebrow. The matisse she merged with was a speed type. After the fusion, her speed increased significantly, but Alpha easily surpassed her. Could none of this guy¡¯s beasts be normal?
Thinking of this, Tang Miao couldn¡¯t help but nce back at Bai Qi, only to find that Bai Qi¡¯s expression remained calm, as if this was something to be expected. Alpha, who had a speed variation, naturally became more abnormal with the double BUFF enhancement. But Bai Qi hadn¡¯t expected that it could surpass two Fourth Stage Fusion Gift Beast Masters.
However, this justified his tireless efforts in cultivation day after day, night after night.
Seeing three arrogant bugs daring to attack in the face of its mighty fury, the saber-toothed tiger¡¯s suppressed anger exploded after many years. With a swing of its huge ws, numerous ck wind des aimed at the trio. Tang Miao immediately dodged when she saw this. The powerful explosive power of the matisse was vividly disyed on her. As for Li Xusheng, he activated his special ability directly, condensing a pair of blood wings and flying into the sky.
As for Alpha, it stubbornly summoned dozens of ice crystal barriers to block directly, which were all turned into ice crystals in the blink of an eye and scattered around under the promotion of the wind, quickly covering the entire training ground.
However, Alpha, who should have been cut into pieces by wind des, had now disappeared without trace.
Chapter 163 - 162: The King’s Stance
Chapter 162: The King¡¯s Stance
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing that it had suddenly lost a target, the Saber-toothed Tiger looked around warily and swung its paw around, instantly dispersing the icy dust and revealing Alpha¡¯s figure.
At this sight, the sharp teeth on the edge of the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s mouth began to shimmer. It then spat out countless Light Teeth towards Alpha.
Crack!
The Light Teeth directly hit Alpha, causing Alpha¡¯s figure to shatter like a mirror and turn into icy dust once again.
It was merely a reflection in the Ice Crystal Barrier. The real Alpha silently emerged from the ice dust behind Saber-toothed Tiger, stabbing his double swords at the back of the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s neck with synchronized strikes.
Roar!
However, the Saber-toothed Tiger was not so easily ambushed. Just as Alpha was about to strike, it swiftly dodged to one side, and instinctively snapped at Alpha.
But right at that moment, a Thunder me power rushed from afar, directly hitting the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s eyes. The Saber-toothed Tiger shrank its neck out of pain, failing to bite Alpha.
Awooo, awooo!
(Damn bonehead is still too weak. Without me, you¡¯d be dead.)
Beta, who had sessfully saved Alpha, raised his head high, dering his victory. Alpha, hearing this, gave no response, but created an Ice Crystal Barrier in the sky, making a heavy step on it. Taking advantage of the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s blind spot, Alpha directly thrust his Withering Sword into the Saber- toothed Tiger¡¯s eyes.
Seeing this, Tangmiao and Li Xusheng immediately seized the opportunity. They headed towards the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s blind spot where they concentrated their attacks on its front limbs.
The Saber-toothed Tiger was enormous in size. Enduring the blows head-on was impossible, so they needed to disable its mobility first.
Roar!!!
Finally released from its long-imprisoned cage, not getting a chance to flex its power yet, it had been blinded by these tiny bugs. The Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s suppressed savagery for so many years finally erupted.
A ck, invisible field of influence burst out from the Saber-toothed Tiger. Whether it was Alpha, who was just about to take advantage of the momentum, or Li Xusheng and Tangmiao, who were preparing tounch an attack on the Saber-toothed Tiger, they all felt a sluggish flow of energy once wrapped by this field.
¡°A King¡¯s Field?!¡±
Wang Huai saw the situation, gritted his teeth, and immediatelymanded the Barrier Tree Man to pull Li Xusheng and Tangmiao out of the encirclement of the Field.
The King¡¯s Field was a special skill mastered only by king-level creatures, simr to Intimidation, but not entirely the same.
If Intimidation was a lord creature dering its position on a spiritual level, then the King¡¯s Field was an outright deration of its dominion on an energy level.
Sinctly put, within the coverage of the King¡¯s Field, other types of energy would be suppressed, and the only thing capable of countering it was the King¡¯s Field itself.
Krak-kraa.
(Boss, it seems like my energy can¡¯t be released anymore, and its operation is quite slow.)
The moment the Saber-toothed Tiger activated its King¡¯s Field, Alpha immediately reported his current state.
¡°Affects energy flow¡¡±
Bai Qi paused after hearing it, watched the approaching ck field sphere and after a brief ponder, he said, ¡°If energy attacks won¡¯t work, then let¡¯s try physical attacks.¡±
Krak-kraa.
(Understood, boss!)
Alpha got it at once, directly generated six Bone des, and began to madly strike at the Saber-toothed Tiger.
¡°That works too?¡±
Seeing Alpha forcefully counteracting the Field¡¯s influence andunching a frenzy of attacks on the Saber-toothed Tiger, Tangmiao and Li Xusheng exchanged looks. They were about to follow suit when they were pulled out by Wang Huai.
¡°Breaking the King¡¯s Field isn¡¯t that easy. Bai Qi, you should call back your pet.¡±
Wang Huai looked towards Bai Qi, intending to advise him to call back Alpha, but suddenly found that the King¡¯s Field of the Saber-toothed Tiger had risen again, enveloping them as well.
¡®I guess there¡¯s no need to hide anymore.1
Bai Qi shrugged, watching the Husky who was unable to freelyunch an attack due to being enveloped in the Field, he plunged into deep thought.
The energy cannon attacks, although functionally superior to traditional ammunition attacks, could be quite troublesome in situations like this. He would have to ask Schuck to add some otherbat modes afterwards.
But first, he had to deal with the enemy at hand.
As Wang Huai said, once the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s King¡¯s Field was activated, it hadplete control over all actions within its range. The so-called blind spots werepletely eliminated, with a light stomp, countless Wind des rolled towards Alpha.
Alpha, seeing this, never stopped his attack. He simply dodged and moved around the Saber-toothed Tiger. Wherever he passed, numerous wounds were left, all bleeding profusely.
¡°Bai Qi, are you sure you are truly just a Third Stage Beast Master?¡±
Seeing the immense damage inflicted on the Saber-toothed Tiger by Alpha alone, Tangmiao was dumbfounded.
Her sky-attacking mantis was also a speed type, which was enhanced with fusion, but not as fast as Alpha, let alone having three heads and six arms.
¡°That¡¯s right, I am a Third Stage, but Alpha was only a speed variant.¡±
¡°I see, that exins it.¡±
After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, Tangmiao and the others finally understood. The advantage of mutant species could indeed continue to expand with level advancements, so it was perfectly normal for them to surpass normal creatures.
¡°But what happened to those injuries? Our attacks on the saber-toothed tiger seem to have mysteriously healed rapidly.¡±
Bai Qi replied, ¡°It was nothing major, I just fortified Alpha with a few battle runes.¡±
Dark series rune, bleeding.
When Bai Qi initially chose the runes for Alpha, he had not anticipated that Alpha would evolve into a being with withering power. Considering that Alpha¡¯s skeleton maniption was primarily physical attacks, he decided to inscribe a bleeding rune onto it.
Originally, he thought that with the withering power present, the bleeding rune would bepletely shelved. It turns out that, it was put to use after all.
¡°Battle rune?¡±
Wang Huai and others looked at each other, surprise reflected in their eyes.
It seemed the rumors weren¡¯t entirely credible ¨C whether it was monster training orbat experience, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t anything like the second- generationpetitor that was rumored to have been hoisted up by others.
However, this was indeed good news for them, thepetitor who they thought would be a burden had actually be an essential part of their team. As a result, they, the so-called Fourth Stage Beast Masters, felt somewhat embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Wang Huai and the others exchanged nces andunched another attack with renewed courage.
At the same time, the saber-toothed tiger became aware of the threat Alpha posed. It was already energy-deficient due to not having eaten for a long time, now with the loss of so much blood, even a king-level life could not withstand such a huge loss. The tiger roared, and countless wind des appeared above the heads of Bai Qi and others, attacking them.
As aking-level life form, the saber-toothed tiger was notweak in intellect. Naturally, it could see the rtionship between pets and Beast Masters. As long as the Beast Masters were removed, these pets would naturally be affected as well.
¡°Damn, this beast has no martial ethics, it¡¯s making a sneak attack!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help muttering under his breath. Immediately, the Husky began to control the Etherium Gold Defense, protecting Wang Huai and the Baili Brothers.
Hearing the dense metallic cutting sounds outside, Wang Huai, after a moment¡¯s hesitation, got in touch with the Barrier Tree Man. Numerous vines sprang up from the ground around the saber-toothed tiger and wrapped around it tightly.
As soon as the tiger saw this, it ordered the wind des to attack, but Li Xusheng and Tangmiao had already attacked again by this time. No matter how sharp Tangmiao¡¯s mantis twin des were or how strong Li Xusheng¡¯s hammer blows that rivaled the force of fierce beasts, it prevented the tiger from responding seriously.
And when the serpents controlled by the Baili brothers also began to coil around, the saber-toothed tiger truly could not take care of everything, it was tightly wrapped by the tree vines of the Barrier Tree Man.
Seeing the saber-toothed tiger gradually being suppressed, a gleam of anticipation shed in everyone¡¯s eyes ¨C they could already see the dawn of victory.
Whoosh, whoosh¡
Just then, the wind des that filled the sky disappeared suddenly. The saber- toothed tiger also stopped struggling. The vast training ground was left with only the whooshing sound of the wind blowing.
Afterwards, a whirlwind gradually formed around the saber-toothed tiger¡¯s limbs, which had turned into a bloody mess. It grewrger andrger, eventually recing the tiger¡¯s limbspletely, pulling the tiger¡¯s huge body free from the tree vines and flying towards the sky.
As for Alpha and others, they were directly blown away by the whirlwind, unable to resist at all.
¡°This guy, has he been hiding his true powers till now?¡±
Looking at the indifferent face of the saber-toothed tiger suspended in the air, gazing at them, Wang Huai and the others felt somewhat desperate.
Indeed, the ancient species that had a double level lead was iparable to the previous terracotta warriors. With such a guardian deployed, the training ground didn¡¯t seem to want them to pass at all.
The saber-toothed tiger, having fully unleashed its power, coldly looked down at the few insects beneath it that had caused it significant harm. Its vertical pupils became colder, but it did not easilynd again, allowing itself to slowly get engulfed by the gale, disappearing within it.
Being hunters of the ancient times and favored by the wind, directbat was never their preferred choice. It was simply too hungry, which led to such foolish choices.
From now on, these bugs were at its mercy.
Finally, when the saber-toothed tiger¡¯s figure disappearedpletely in the wind, Alpha and the other pets lost track of it. They could only vaguely sense its presence nearby.
¡°Schuck, Beta, can you find its tracks?¡±
Woof! Woof!
(It¡¯s moving too fast, I can¡¯t keep up!)
¡°Same here, the storm has masked its energy fluctuations, radar can¡¯t find it.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, as he looked at Alpha who was still looking for the saber-toothed tiger¡¯s traces, and said, ¡°Gamma, you hitch onto Alpha¡¯s body to protect it.¡±
Since the saber-toothed tiger chose to sneak attack, it would definitely prioritize the one that posed the greatest threat to it, so Alpha had the highest probability of being attacked.
Hopefully, this time Gamma can disy its abnormal physical attributes and help Alpha withstand the attack.
Swoosh!
Just as Alpha and Gamma quickly converged, the figure of the saber-toothed tiger suddenly appeared next to Li Xusheng and Tangmiao, knocking them away in an instant.
Damn it, why isn¡¯t this guy ying by the rules!?
Chapter 164 - 163: The Most Unorthodox Action of the Year
Chapter 163: The Most Unorthodox Action of the Year
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s actions, Bai Qi and the others were somewhat surprised.
Although the level of Li Xusheng and Tang Miao was higher than that of Alpha, so far, Alpha dealt more damage to it.
Could it be choosing its enemies based on their levels?
Bai Qi and Wang Huai exchanged nces, but due to the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s choice, Alpha and Gamma sessfully rendezvoused. Gamma¡¯s green body was attached to the surface of Alpha, like wearing a green armor,
Wilting Dragon Lord ¨C Magic Immunity status!
Although they were temporarily unable to form wind attribute resistance, with the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s frequent attacks, Bai Qi believed it was only a matter of time.
However, the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s sneaky warfare in the wind was indeed very troublesome, all he could do was to hope that Alpha¡¯s reaction speed was fast enough.
Sure enough, after driving back Li Xusheng and Tang Miao, the Saber-toothed Tiger disappeared again in the gale. Wang Huai seized the moment and pulled the two back.
¡°How are you two?¡±
Wang Huai looked at the two anxiously and immediately summoned a Flower Fairy to heal them.
¡°I¡¯m fine, it seemed to have pulled its punches when the Saber-toothed Tiger attacked us, it didn¡¯t use its full strength.¡±
¡°Pulled its punches?¡±
In response to this, Bai Qi was taken aback. Could the Saber-toothed Tiger be frail from losing too much blood?
Just as Bai Qi had this thought, he saw the Saber-toothed Tiger suddenly appear, and with one w, it sent Alpha and Gamma flying out. The impact punched a huge hole in the wall.
Well, he thought too much.
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai immediately sent the Barrier Tree Man to back them up. he then advised Bai Qi, ¡°Bai Qi, are you sure you don¡¯t want to call your two beasts back first? For now, we¡¯re at a disadvantage. It would be better for us to stay on the defensive.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Alpha and Gamma can take quite a beating, they¡¯ll be okay.¡±
Alpha¡¯s core area is its skull, while Gamma, strictly speaking, does not have a core area, as long as it isn¡¯tpletely evaporated, it could survive.
However, the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯sattacks were truly double standards. It was gentle with Li Xusheng and Tang Miao, both Four Stage Beast Masters, but fought fiercely against Alpha and Gamma, both Third Stage creatures. It wasn¡¯t supposed to be afraid of the hard and bully the weak like this.
Unless it saw that both were humans, so it withdrew?
Hmm?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows rose as he seemed to recall something.
¡°Schuck, do you have a video of the Saber-toothed Tiger attacking Li Xusheng and the others?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Schuck nodded, immediately projecting the video of the two being sent flying, and thoughtfully reduced the yback rate.
It was undeniable that the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s attack speed was really fast. Even when slowed down by ten times, its movements were still very swift, almost appearing and then retreating back into the gale as soon as it was visible.
But that was sufficient.
Bai Qi worked on the keyboard, finally stopping the video at the moment the Saber-toothed Tiger was about to attack the two.
Although it was just a split second, a faint Rune Mark suddenly appeared on the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s forehead when it was about to attack, then its strength weakened.
¡°I see, there is actually a protective mechanism in this training field. It should be restricting Ferocious Beasts from attacking humans.¡±
Upon seeing this, Wang Huai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the protective mechanism was there, their safety shouldn¡¯t be a problem. This way, even if they couldn¡¯t pass the level, they could still bring out the data of the Saber-toothed Tiger.
¡°It should be about right.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in agreement with Wang Huai¡¯s statement, but his eyes were still fixed on the Rune Mark on the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s forehead.
He had a feeling he had seen this Rune Mark somewhere before but just couldn¡¯t remember.
¡°Cough, Bai Qi, I think you should do something with your two beasts.¡±
Finally, Tang Miao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, he couldn¡¯t help but remind as Bai Qj was striving to remember.
Even though the Barrier Tree Man and the serpents of the Baili Brothers were helping attack, the Saber-toothed Tiger seemed to be targeting these two, almost always aiming at Alpha each time it appeared.
Hearing this, Bai Qi looked over to find that the Saber-toothed Tiger seemed to be toying with Alpha, keeping it at bay, but it never managed to hit a vital spot.
Seeing this, Bai Qi had an idea and sent a message to Alpha.
Creak, creak.
Upon receiving the instruction, Alpha forcefully conjured an Ice Crystal Barrier between it and the Saber-toothed Tiger, creating a gap of Giant Strength. Then with a roll, it transformed into a crystal ball, with Alpha¡¯s skull and Gamma encapsted inside it.
The Saber-toothed Tiger seemed curious but didn¡¯t stop. With a w, it swatted at the ball, only to grunt suddenly. It flung the crystal ball away, and its ws began to bleed.
How did it suddenly get injured?
Wang Huai and the others looked at each other, clearly not understanding what had just happened.
However, upon seeing the Crystal Sphere slowly rolling back, Wang Huai and the others didn¡¯t know how to react anymore.
This wasn¡¯t a ball at all, it was clearly a spiked ball!
The smooth crystal shell was now covered in sharp spikes of varying lengths and constantly changing, and at the tips of these spikes, one could vaguely see a faint blue glow flickering.
You like to y with balls, don¡¯t you? Well, here¡¯s your wish. Let¡¯s see if you dare.
Bai Qi¡¯s face developed an evil grin, although his Withering Power could only be released externally, it could still flow within the crystal skeleton, just at a slower pace.
Anyway, they would never surpass the saber-toothed tiger in speed, so they might as well give up on the attack and wait for the enemy toe.
You won¡¯t let me use my energy attack, then I¡¯ll wait for you toe. With the Withering Power attached to the spikes, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t worried about not being able to break through the defense.
A defensive counterattack, that¡¯s the name of the game.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi simply let the Deadly Poison Aura open up and quietlyy there waiting for the saber-toothed tiger toe.
Seeing this, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to realize that this was a tough nut to crack, immediately targeting the other pets first. It found that the Barrier Tree Man and the others had been summoned back to the Beast Control Space, even pets like the Husky had been recalled.
¡°Bai Qi, isn¡¯t this too risky?¡±
Standing defenseless in front of the saber-toothed tiger, at Bai Qi¡¯s rmendation, Wang Huai and the others were somewhat panicked, the others likewise ready to summon their pets at any moment.
After all, they had all received various professional trainings, almost every strategy was the most effective method found out by countless people, but Bai Qi¡¯s approach was somewhat unconventional.
¡°What else can we do? Do you expect us to win against a Fifth Stage Monarch Level Ancient Species?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes, ording to the energy detector that Schuck had, the energy of the saber-toothed tiger was clearly in a state of severe deficit. Simply put, it was malnourished.
If this big cat is still like at the beginning, mindlessly venting its energy, they would have a chance to bleed it out slowly, draining the beast to its death.
But now, it clearly nned to y a gueri war with them, and it was also in its King¡¯s territory, so they could forget about a sneak attack, a frontal attack was also quite challenging, so a defensive attack was the best method.
As for them, rather than giving the saber-toothed tiger a chance to change targets and slowly drain their fighting power, it was better to take a gamble and make it, so the saber-toothed tiger had no choice but to attack.
Fortunately, Bai Qi had bet correctly.
After seeing that Bai Qi and the others were just standing there, the saber- toothed tiger immediately wanted tounch an attack But just as it was about to make a move, the rune appeared on its forehead again, forcibly stopping the aforementioned beast¡¯s impending action.
There really is a limit!
Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger really couldn¡¯tunch an attack on them, Wang Huai and the others let out a sigh of relief, but Li Xusheng cast a deep look at Bai Qi, aplex look shing in his eyes.
Unable to attack Bai Qi and the others, the saber-toothed tiger could only turn its gaze to Alpha, only to find that Alpha had somehow erged its form again.
ordingly, the number of bone spurs on its body had also increased quite a bit.
Seeing this, the saber-toothed tiger once again hid in the wild wind, constantly moving around Alpha, and the spikes on Alpha¡¯s exterior were gradually adjusting their direction. As soon as the saber-toothed tiger appeared, the spikes at that end would instantly elongate.
The Saber-tooth tiger clearly didn¡¯t want to wait any longer, it suddenly leaped out of the wind andunched an attack towards Alpha. Its sharp ws shed with a jet-ck light, clearly nning to sh head-on and destroy Alpha with one w.
Then, just as the saber-toothed tiger was about to hit Alpha, the spikes on Alpha¡¯s exterior suddenly grew rapidly, striking first and piercing the tiger¡¯s palm.
Roar!
Under the pain, the saber-toothed tiger instinctively wanted to fling Alpha away, but Alpha had already predicted the big cat¡¯s behavior. The moment the bone spurs were embedded in the saber-toothed tiger¡¯s palm, they quickly spread and split towards the deeper parts of the tiger¡¯s flesh, gettingpletely fixed on the beast¡¯s paw while slowly injecting the Withering Power into it.
The saber-toothed tiger immediately sensed something odd, so it simply flung its paw on the ground, trying to directly smash Alpha, but at the moment when it came into contact with the ground, there was no sensation of resistance. It found that Gamma had somehow appeared and became a cushion.
However, facing the giant strength of the saber-toothed tiger, Gamma had reached its limit, and could burst at any moment.
But, it was also due to Gamma¡¯s dy, that Alpha had an opportunity to expand the wound on the saber-toothed tiger, actually digging into it, and Gamma didn¡¯t fall behind, following along Alpha¡¯s bones directly into the forelimb of the saber-toothed tiger.
Faced with this attack from within, the saber-toothed tiger didn¡¯t know how to react, it could only roll and scratch on the ground, but it couldn¡¯t stop Alpha from moving slowly inside it.
Finally, after struggling for a while, the saber-toothed tiger¡¯s movement suddenly stopped, its huge eyes turned blood red, and gradually fell silent.
Even as a monarch level creature, it could not survive when its brain was destroyed.
¡°Bai Qi, do all your association¡¯s Beast Masters fight like this? Do you realize that you just killed a Monarch level Ferocious beast two ranks above your level?¡±
Staring nkly at Alpha and Gamma, these two Third Stage Lord creatures, Wang Huai felt somewhat baffled. They had actually killed a Fifth Stage Ancient Monarch Level Species.
Is this even something a normal person could do?
¡°I don¡¯t know about the others, but probably not.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, then pointed behind the two of them and said, ¡°And, you don¡¯t really think that Monarch level creatures are that weak, do you? It¡¯s clearly being restricted, isn¡¯t that right, Instructor Luo?!¡±

Chapter 164: Ancient Beast Master
Trantor: 549690339 |
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Wang Huai and hispanions were stunned and immediately nced behind them.
In the originally empty sky, a giant eagle had silently appeared. Standing atop the eagle was none other than Luo Xiang, who had been taking action independently.
With a lightugh, Luo Xiangnded on the ground and said, ¡°Lad, when did you notice me?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, replying, ¡°Actually, it was just a guess. After all, the difference between the guardian of this third stage and the previous two is just too big.¡±
¡°If I had to give a reason¡¡±
Bai Qi paused, gesturing towards the runes on the walls surrounding the training field that, unnoticed until now, seemed to have dimmed. He continued, ¡°We haven¡¯t passed yet, but this training field has gone quiet. Doesn¡¯t it seem too convenient?¡±
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiangughed and said, ¡°Not bad, but this saber- toothed tiger didn¡¯t escape because of something I did. I just stopped the automatic mechanism of the training field, so it must have gotten away.¡± ¡°Stopped the training field?¡±
At that, Wang Huai looked visibly puzzled and asked, ¡°Master Luo, does this mean you¡¯ve deciphered the secrets of this realm?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not really deciphering the secrets of the realm, I¡¯ve just cracked the entrance to the next area.¡±
Luo Xiang shookhis head, exining, ¡°It looks like the guardian of this secret realm is no longer around, so all the controls for these training fields are at the entrance. I just turned them off, it¡¯s just a coincidence this saber-toothed tiger appeared.¡±
¡°These?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, as if realizing something.
He had wondered why such arge secret realm only had one training field. It was simply too shabby. Now that he heard Luo Xiang¡¯s words, it seemed there were indeed more.
¡°Actually, you guys are rather lucky. The ve contract of this saber-toothed tiger is still in effect, and its condition isn¡¯t too good. The other ces weren¡¯t as fortunate.¡±
Upon hearing Luo Xiang¡¯s words, Wang Huai¡¯s expression subtly changed.
As the captain of the assault team, he naturally knew about the arrangements of the Thirteenth Bureau. From the sound of Luo Xiang¡¯s words, it seemed the others had likely met with mishaps.
Seeing Wang Huai¡¯s expression, Luo Xiangughed, reassuring him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I activated the protection mechanism, so none of them suffered fatal injuries. However, their mechanical beasts are probably in trouble.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Wang Huai sincerely thanked Luo Xiang. They were all part of the Thirteenth Bureau, hisrades. It was great news if hisrades could keep their lives.
After understanding their current situation, Bai Qi finally couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said earlier that you¡¯d have to clear the training field first before opening the entrance? Instructor Luo, is this considered a forced decipher?¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, saying, ¡°The Breaking the Void talent can do more than just ignore the defenses of the Secret Realm Tower. As long as you have a sufficient foundation in runes, this is just a basic operation. You¡¯ll learn it in the future.¡± Breaking the Void talent too?
Alright, that was definitely something he wouldn¡¯t learn.
¡°However, even though this ancient species saber-toothed tiger was suppressed by the ve contract, it was still not weak. I¡¯m surprised you guys managed to defeat it.¡±
Luo Xiang looked at the saber-toothed tiger, whose eyes were still open in death. Seeing Alpha and Gamma crawls out from its ear, he couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter.
¡°To think you¡¯de up with such a strategy. The majestic king of the ancient species suffered such a death, it¡¯s quite suffocating.¡±
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Bai Qi scratched his head. This wasn¡¯t something he¡¯d learned from a monkey in his previous life, was it? The only difference was that it had run into someone¡¯s stomach, whereas Alpha and Gamma went into the mind.
Well, it was more or less the same.
¡°This saber-toothed tiger was discovered in your Thirteenth Bureau area, so it should be yours, but Bai Qi also made quite the contribution. He can have the pair of teeth, the rest will be handed over to you guys.¡±
Luo Xiang pped the massive eagle next to him. The eagle seemed to understand as it easily plucked two sharp teeth from the tiger¡¯s mouth and tossed it in front of Bai Qi.
¡°No problem. In fact, Bai Qi did most of the work in handling this saber- toothed tiger. If everything went to him, it would be fine.¡±
Wang Huai nodded, voicing his thoughts.
¡°Then forget about it. There isn¡¯t much left that¡¯s good anyway. See if your research department can figure out something.¡±
Luo Xiang straightforwardly voiced his thoughts, while Bai Qi immediately tucked away the sharp teeth.
Bro, next time when you¡¯re hoarding the good stuff, could you be a little more discreet? Even though everyone knows that this pair of fangs is of good quality, you don¡¯t have to point it out so directly. It makes things awkward for us.
True to his expectations, once Luo Xiang finished speaking, the faces of Wang Huai and the others turned a troubled look. They didn¡¯t know how to respond. However, Luo Xiang clearly didn¡¯t wish to say anything more. He tossed a bronze token to Wang Huai, then grabbed Bai Qi andnded on the giant eagle.
¡°I¡¯ll leave the rest to you guys. I¡¯ll take Bai Qi and leave first.¡±
Having said that, Luo Xiang immediately rode off on the eagle, leaving behind a baffled Wang Huai and the others.
¡°Captain, are all the Beast Masters in the Association this whimsical?¡±
Tang Miao stared nkly at the quickly departing Luo Xiang, his expression changing continuously.
¡°Shouldn¡¯t be. The ones we¡¯ve dealt with before were quite normal, look at Bai Qi¡¡±
_Halfway through his words, Wang Huai stopped short.
It seemed as though that fellow could not be considered normal either.
Outside the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.
Because the ess to the next level area was decrypted, many doors had lifted their restrictions, causing a scrambled frenzy amongst the research personnel outside.
¡°Instructor Luo, are we heading back to the headquarters now?¡±
Luo Xiang replied, ¡°The Thirteenth Bureau¡¯smission isplete, of course, we will return to the area under association¡¯s jurisdiction. If not needed, I¡¯ll get beaten up by the old man.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, with the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm right in front of him, he would feel regretful if he had to go back just like this.
After all, Luo Xiang mentioned that he would calcte points based on his actions here and wouldn¡¯t it be a loss if he didn¡¯t grab more benefits while he was in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm?
¡°By the way, I¡¯ve copied some runes from the entrance just now. Take some time to look at them, it will assist your exploration in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.¡±
Luo Xiang handed a packet of copied paper to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Although the ancient rune system is not asplete as the one during the Era of Law Emperor, it is still the origin of runes and there are still valuable learning points.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, he had previously shown interest in the runes on the terracotta warriors, hence Schuck has recorded them down. Now that Luo Xiang had brought the copied originals to him, Bai Qi naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse.
Luo Xiang¡¯s copying technique was obviously very skilled ¨C every rune was extremely clear and Bai Qi saw some familiar runes among them.
Among them, the mysterious rune mark that restrained the Saber-toothed Tiger was present.
¡°Instructor Luo, you mentioned that this is a ve contract, why does it look a little like the rune mark that we use to contract our pets?¡±
Hearing this, Luo Xiang showed a faint smile, ¡°You really did notice it.¡±
With that, Luo Xiang pointed to the not-too-distant entrance of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, ¡°You should have heard of the legends of the Emperor, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, not just heard, but history sses would inevitably touch on the stories of the Emperors of the human history, and the Emperor, who led humanity out of the oppression of ferocious beasts, was of utmost importance. ¡°ording to human history that we know so far, humans were originally just ves or food herded by ferocious beasts.¡±
¡°After all,pared to the strong physical abilities and abilities of the ferocious beasts, humans were a lot weaker.¡±
¡°However, everything changed after the emergence of the Emperor.¡±
¡°The Emperor was initially just a small ve, yet he deduced a contract that could control the ferocious beasts from the very contract affixed by the ferocious beasts onto humans, and led humans down the path of resistance with this power.¡±
¡°And these people, were the very first Beast Masters in ancient times.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi was a bit surprised. He knew about the Emperor discovering the method of contracting ferocious beasts, but he didn¡¯t expect that it was deduced from the contract of ferocious beasts enving humans, this information was really mind -blowing.
¡°But since this contract was artificially affixed, where did their talent runee from when they awakened?¡±
Bai Qi pondered for a moment then posed the question.
Luo Xiang replied, ¡°What else do you think exists in this world that can change the talent of a race?¡±
Bai Qi was stunned at hearing this, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, ¡°Mythical creatures? Gods?¡±
Even though the Federation was fundamentally scientific, they never denied the existence of gods, otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be the concept of Mythical Species.
Luo Xiang shook his head, ¡°Gods are merely stronger beings and don¡¯t possess such abilities.¡±
¡°Then who else could it be?¡±
Luo Xiang pointed to the ground beneath their feet, ¡°The only being capable of changing the talents of an entire species would naturally be the central will of this world, Gaia.¡±
¡°World¡¯s Will, Gaia?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
A gleam shed in Luo Xiang¡¯s eyes, ¡°From what I have discovered in various secret realms, the World¡¯s Will doesn¡¯t appear often, but each time it emerges, it can help mankind turn the tables. The Beast Mastery Talent that humans possess was only obtained after Gaia descended during the White Emperor¡¯s period.
Bai Qi listened with interest. This was the first time he heard that the history of humanity, or rather Beast Masters, had such riveting elements. Initially, he thought that history lessons were exaggerating, but now it seemed they had somewhat been conservative.
Suddenly, he felt that he should also move about like Luo Xiang, maybe explore some secret realm towers, it seemed like fun¡
¡°I won¡¯t go into too much detail. You will encounter this sooner orter, after all, you have the Breaking the Void talent and those old guys at headquarters won¡¯t let you idly sit by.¡±
Luo Xiang patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, ¡°That¡¯s why your current priority is to train hard, to raise your strength as soon as possible, so you can roam everywhere with me.¡±
Seeing Luo Xiang in such a state, the corner of Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched.
Big brother, please hold back your smirk first, otherwise everyone will know that you are dragging me into it to help you shoulder the me¡
Bai Qi nced at the rune mark in his hand, ¡°By the way, Instructor Luo, since this rune is the first ve contract, does it mean that those who haven¡¯t awakened their talent could use this to be Beast Masters?¡±
Luo Xiang¡¯s expression turned serious upon hearing this, ¡°Absolutely not, it wasn¡¯t like nobody attempted this before, but all have failed. After all, it evolved from the ferocious beasts¡¯ contract, not everyone can bear it.¡±
Not everyone can bear it, huh¡
Bai Qi nodded, but another thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
If humans can¡¯t bear it, what if the one bearing it isn¡¯t human?
Chapter 166 - 165: Mythical Species
Chapter 165: Mythical Species
Trantor: 549690339
The Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm seemed to be located in the north of the Federation, almost entirely on a in, where traces of human life could be vaguely seen.
Obviously, after the discovery of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, this ce waspletely emptied by the Federation.
As the first emperor in human history and the creator of the Beast Master profession, his secret realm, even if it just touches the edge, was worth the Alliance¡¯s attention.
However, Bai Qi and Luo Xiang soon flew out of the area controlled by the Federation and came to the ce managed by the Association.
Like the area managed by the Thirteenth Bureau, this ce was also filled with metal doors. Butpared to the countless high-end instruments on the Federation side, the Association side seemed a bit retro.
Compass, crystal ball, tortoise shell, dragon-seeking ruler¡
Almost anything that Bai Qi could associate with divination appeared on the Association side. If it weren¡¯t for the asional sight of a fewputers responsible for recording, Bai Qi would have thought he had traveled back to ancient times.
¡°Do you feel like the Association side is much rougher than the Thirteenth Bureau?¡±
Luo Xiang noticed Bai Qi¡¯s expression and couldn¡¯t helpughing: ¡°I thought the same when I first joined the Association. For a while, I even thought I had joined some sort of chatan organization. Only after I discovered that these items were all treasures did I slowly believe I hadn¡¯t been tricked.¡±
¡°All are treasures?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the various ¡°chatan sets¡± almost one in everyone¡¯s hands as far as he could see, somewhat incredulous.
Although he knew that the Association had a long history and deep heritage, it wasn¡¯t to the extent of wholesale distribution of treasures, right?
¡°Don¡¯t worry, after youplete the training, the Association may also assign you a treasure. However, it¡¯s hard to say what it will be.¡±
At this point, Luo Xiang seemed to think of something andughed, ¡°I heard that you haven¡¯t yet received the Lord creature the Association allocated to you? Old Lady Fan in the breeding area has been grumbling about it for a while.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly when he heard this. He did indeed want to go pick it up, but too many variables hade up.
¡°However, the three pets you currently have are well trained, and I¡¯ve heard from President Qin that all of them seem to be of the mutant species?¡± Bai Qj nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, I had the good luck of encountering them.¡± Luo Xiang said, ¡°Mutant species are good, but the starting point of the few that you¡¯ve contracted is too low, and the upper limit might not be high. In the future, if you get the opportunity, consider contracting with some special species of pets.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately thought of the saber-toothed tiger he had just encountered, ¡°Special species? It seems like I¡¯ve heard Instructor Lv mention it.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and said, ¡°Yes, in fact, the mutant species is also considered a type of special species, but the emergence conditions and effects of the mutant species are different, so they are not as powerful as the other types.¡± ¡°The saber-toothed tiger you just encountered is an ancient species. Unfortunately, it¡¯s clear that it was put in there by the maintenance personnel ofter generations. Its bloodline isn¡¯t pure, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be just King-level.¡±
Bai Qj nodded slightly, looking down at the giant eagle beneath his feet, suddenly asking, ¡°Then, Instructor Luo, is your pet also a special species?¡± Luo Xiang nodded and said, ¡°Are you talking about Neil? Yes, Neil is a mythical species, a North Eagle.¡±
Well, no wonder he looks down on the mutant species; it turns out even his mount is of the mythical ssification.
Bai Qi clicked his tongue enviously, but when he thought of the Evolution Egg, he instantly felt better.
Perhaps for others, a creature¡¯s innate bloodline may limit the potential of pets, but with the Evolution Egg, these differences will inevitably be eliminated.
No matter what kind of species, ancient, giant, or mythical, as long as the materials are provided, any species can be produced.
But Luo Xiang¡¯s words also made sense. Although training pets with low bloodline level like Alpha provides more flexibility, it indeed takes more time.
If there weren¡¯t any more unexpected situations, it would be better to find some with special bloodlines.
Soon, the North Eaglended in front of a camp.
Many people noticed Luo Xiang¡¯s arrival, and upon seeing it was Luo Xiang, all showed an excited expression.
¡°Great, finally we don¡¯thave to run around like headless flies.¡±
¡°But I heard Master Luo is here this time to break the entrance for the Thirteenth Bureau?¡±
¡°Are you silly? Anyway, this secret realm is being jointly developed by us and the Thirteenth Bureau. Whoever opens the entrance first doesn¡¯t matter. By the way, isn¡¯t it great to brush up on task rewards?¡±
¡°That makes sense.¡±
Hearing the chatter of the surrounding people, Bai Qi once again recognized Luo Xiang¡¯s unique position in the Association.
More urately, it was the position of a productive secret realm decoder.
It seemed that he had underestimated the Breaking the Void talent. Otherwise, President Qin would not have rmended him to join special training as soon as he reached the first stage.
What a pity, he was just a fake. As long as the Breaking the Void talent couldn¡¯t be triggered stably, he wouldn¡¯t be exposed.
¡°Hm? Luo, you¡¯re here, and who¡¯s this, is it Cha?¡±
At this moment, a strong smell of alcohol suddenly came from behind them. Bai Qi immediately turned around to look, seeing a disheveled man holding a bottle of wine swaying from a house towards them. His messy hair, unkempt beard,bined with the strong smell of alcohol, hardly differed from a tramp. Seeing the downcast uncle walking over, Luo Xiang wasn¡¯t surprised at all. He sniffed and said, ¡°Uncle Chun, where did you find this excellent wine in another secret space? Care to share?¡±
At these words, Chun Yushui immediately threw the bottle of wine in his hand over to Luo Xiang, who caught it effortlessly, only to discover it was already empty.
¡°Heard you wereing, I worked overtime to finish all these wines.¡± Chun Yushui burped, then stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Qi¡¯s cheek, rubbing it vigorously. He patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Eh, Cha, you¡¯ve grown so strong since you were sent to Gusu City by your father?¡±
Bai Qi looked helplessly at Luo Xiang for help, only to find Luo Xiang still battling with the wine bottle,pletely ignoring Bai Qi.
Bai Qi gave up and forcefully pulled himself out of Chun Yushui¡¯s clutch. ¡°Uh¡ this Superior, I think you¡¯ve mistaken me for someone else. My name is Bai Qi, not Bai Qiucha.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re not Cha, then it¡¯s not interesting.¡±
Chun Yushui lost interest immediately. He surveyed Bai Qi from head to toe with his bleary eyes. ¡°Your name seems familiar. I think I¡¯ve heard it together with Bai Heguang¡¯s. Could you possibly be Bai Heguang¡¯s illegitimate son?¡± A corner of Bai Qj¡¯s mouth twitched uncontrobly. He strongly suspected this rumor was spread by this raggedy uncle, after all, not just anybody dared to gossip about an infamous figure like the Titled Legendary.
¡°You¡¯re overthinking it. Bai Chuanqi¡¯s temper isn¡¯t so good. If there really was an illegitimate son, do you think this guy could still be jumping about here?¡± Luo Xiang finally recalled who Bai Qi was and exined, ¡°This kid did so well in training that the old man thought about bringing him out to broaden his horizons. He just came with me from the Thirteenth Bureau and is nning to train hard here.¡±
Chun Yushui nced at Bai Qi and said, ¡°Sounds like you¡¯re nning to train someone else to shoulder the burden?¡±
Luo Xiang rolled his eyes. ¡°Wasn¡¯t I learning it from Uncle Chun here?¡± Listenting to their exchange, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes took on an odd glint.
Why did it sound like Luo Xiang had other intentions when taking him out this time? Getting rid of a burden? Was Luo Xiang forced to be so productive?
Luo Xiang noticed the odd look in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes and cleared his throat. ¡°Ahem, Bai Qi, go and rest first. You can sleep in any room without a tag.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged and did not want to further get in the way. He randomly picked a room far away from Chun Yushui and moved in.
First, it was the Earth Gold Ring, now the Wind Teeth, and the Grass Cutter w that he hadn¡¯t had a chance to absorb. These materials needed to be absorbed as soon as possible to enhance his fight power. Otherwise, with his current Third Stage Beast Master strength, it would be hard for him to progress in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.
After Bai Qi left, Chun Yushui immediately wiped the grin off his face, and his eyes cleared.
¡°You¡¯ve been to the Thirteenth Bureau, how far along are they?¡±
Luo Xiang replied, ¡°On the surface, they are still in the boot camp area, but I believe some have already moved onto the next area. Though I can¡¯t yet figure out their methods, I can say for sure it¡¯s not the Breaking the Void talent.¡± Chun Yushui sneered, ¡°They are as sly as ever. But it doesn¡¯t matter, we¡¯re almost ready here, just ying along with them.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, ¡°I will go in aler to check out the situation in the next area.¡±
As he said this, Luo Xiang looked at Bai Qi¡¯s room. ¡°As for this guy, I¡¯ll leave him to Uncle Chun for now. Do whatever you wish with him. He¡¯s got more lives than a cat.¡±
Hearing this, Chun Yushui chuckled. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid you¡¯ll ruin him, with no one to take on your role?¡±
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Luo Xiang¡¯s mouth. ¡°Trust me, when the timees, you might be the surprise.¡±
Having said that, Luo Xiang walked towards Chun Yushui¡¯s room without waiting for his reply.
¡°I can smell more alcoholing from your room, Uncle Chun. Do you have more hidden in there?¡±
¡°Son of a gun, how is your nose still so sharp!¡±
Although the rooms in the camp were very simple, they contained all the necessary living supplies. Bai Qi looked around and then promptlyy on the bed, examining the rubbings of runes Luo Xiang had given him.
Considering Luo Xiang had taken the time to make these rubbings, it certainly wasn¡¯t just because of some ancient runes. It might be helpful in the following exploration of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.
And also the ve contract, seemed quite promising too.
So many more things to research.
Bai Qi rubbed his forehead and carefully stored the rubbings away, then entered the Secret Space.
After several days of effort, the Five-Element Skulls hadpleted a brand- new base which was muchrger than Bai Qi¡¯s vi.
Bai Qi smoothly moved to the breeding room, summoned Alpha, Husky, and Gamma all at once, and then took out the three pieces of Epic Materials he had recently acquired, his face intently thoughtful.
The Earth Gold Ring must go to Gamma, even if it couldn¡¯t eventually split as nned, at the very least it could strengthen Gamma¡¯s physical condition.
As for the Grass Cutter w, Alpha should be the one equipped with it, considering its sharp attribute. Therefore, no need to think any further on that. Only the Wind Teeth he had just obtained from the Saber-toothed Tiger was left. Bai Qi was a little bit torn.
Based on the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s performance just now, once the Wind Teeth was fused, it would surely acquire Wind Skills. Both Alpha and Husky were suited to it.
Such a headache¡
Chapter 167 - 166: Alpha Evolves Again
Chapter 166: Alpha Evolves Again
Trantor: 549690339
Looking at the Wind Teeth in his hand, then at Alpha and the Husky in front of him, Bai Qi finally chose to enhance Alpha.
In the ability that the saber- toothed tiger just demonstrated, apart from Wind de, there was a skill that could merge into the raging wind.
This skill could hide its form, freely travel through the gales, and even fly.
If Alpha could acquire this capability, its range of motion would be more dynamic, and it could adopt a more versatile way of fighting.
As for the Husky, the destructive power of Thunder me Power was already enough, adding wind attribute would merely be gilding the lily. Therefore, inparison, Bai Qi preferred to focus on enhancing the Husky¡¯s Spirit Power.
After all, be it Schuck¡¯s mental processing rate, Beta¡¯s perception ability, or Soul Whisper, they all depended on Spirit Power. Moreover, this was the Husky¡¯s direction of mutation, so he could not disregard it in anyway.
Besides, the Husky¡¯sbat capacity could also develop from other directions.
Having finalized the allocation scheme, Bai Qi first wrapped the Earth Gold Ring around Gamma¡¯s body, promptly activated the Evolution Egg, and then looked towards Alpha.
The Grass Cutter w might have been of the Metal Element. He assumed it could obtain skills simr to being sharp or sturdy. As for the Wind Teeth¡¯s Wind Element, it was likely to gain cutting or moving type skills. These two materials, barely rted, he wondered what effects would ur if used simultaneously.
With this thought in mind, anticipation shed in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes. He handed both materials to Alpha and then activated the Evolution Egg.
The moment the Silver Egg took shape, Bai Qi suddenly felt a massive loss of strength, his body unconsciously beginning to lean backwards.
However, Schuck was evidently ustomed to this situation. He directly mimicked a chair to catch Bai Qi, expertly gave him an injection, and then handed him the Green Dragon Scale to hold onto. Only then did Bai Qi recover. ¡°Phew¡ Consumed so much strength, is Alpha about to evolve again?¡±
While absorbing the vitality from the Green Dragon Scale, Bai Qi looked at Alpha¡¯s Evolution Egg, somewhat surprised.
¡°ording to our previous calctions, Alpha should still need some time to evolve to be a High-grade Lord. These two epic materials must have expedited the process.¡±
Schuck projected a series of data, which recorded the number of times their three pets used the Evolution Egg and the quantity of materials absorbed.
However, obviously because of different materials, the uncertainty in the data was massive.
¡°Alright, next time, whatever the evolution, I will keep the Green Dragon Scale with me.¡±
Green Dragon Scale could not directly enhance Bai Qi¡¯s constitution as the Jade Breath did, but its recovery rate was much faster than that of the Angel Fruit. Considering his situation today, holding it in his hand was not reliable, so the best solution was to keep it close to his person.
¡°Schuck, make me a pendantter and hang the Green Dragon Scale on it.¡±
¡°I can do it now.¡±
Schuck¡¯s efficiency was outstanding. Almost the moment Bai Qi gave him the order, he extended some Etherium Liquid Gold to wrap up the Green Dragon Scale, subsequently forming a pendant which fell into Bai Qi¡¯s hand.
A silvery-grey chain and a Green Dragon Scale shimmering like jade, Schuck conveniently shaped it in a way that didn¡¯t feel much inferiorpared to famous brands.
¡°Tsk¡ Didn¡¯t know you cared about this, Schuck. Good job, take your reward!¡±
Bai Qi satisfiedly hung the pendant around his neck. He could only feel the vitality of the Green Dragon Scale flowing into his body without any obstruction through the chain made of Etherium Liquid Gold, slowly replenishing his energy.
With this, it seemed he didn¡¯t really need those supplements anymore. Perhaps he could sell them off?
When he returned to Gusu City, he would ask Zhuge Chen if he was willing to work part-time to sell supplements. It could also be considered as another source of ie.
Looking at Alpha and Gamma, who were silently evolving, Bai Qi, whose condition had already recovered, didn¡¯t n to sit idle. He started to study the rubbings of the ve Contract.
Compared to other ancient runes, theplexity level of this Rune Mark was evidently different.
Supposedly simple and even useless patterns could show, upon closer inspection, to be abination of countless tiny symbols. He didn¡¯t know how Luo Xiang had managed to produce such aplete and clear rubbing.
¡°Schuck, erge all these runes for a search. See if there are hidden tiny symbols inside, thenpare them with the symbols on the terracotta soldiers. Don¡¯t miss any.¡±
Schuck nodded, scanned each of these rubbings into the system one by one, and proceeded to slowly restore the crushed General Terracotta. Bai Qi, on the other hand, donned his Rune sses to painstakingly copy each one himself.
Time passed, and while Bai Qi was engrossed in his copying, the cracking sound of the Silver Egg caught his attention.
Naturally, the first to break out of the shell was Gamma.
Due to the merger with the Earth Gold Ring, Gamma¡¯s originally all-green body now had strands of gold. Invisibly, it added a bit of nobility to Gamma, making it distinct from ordinary slimes.
However, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t particr about appearances. Thus, he only took a brief look before beginning to review Gamma¡¯s condition.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Second Stage, Sixth level
[Bloodline Level): High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Energy Absorption (Intermediate ¨C Awakened), Mimicry (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Corrosion (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Electric Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Frozen Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), me Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), zing Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Proficient), Cutting Resistance, (Intermediate ¨C Proficient), Shadow Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Proficient), Corrosion Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Proficient), Radiation Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Skilled), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level ¨C Skilled), Split (Intermediate ¨C Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 84.000
[Condition]: Evolvable
As expected, he got the Splitting Skill!
[Skill Name]: Split
[Skill Level]: Mid-Level
[Skill Description]: Can split into one or several sub-entities. The sub-entities can inherit part of the energy and skills of the main body. The degree of power depends on the energy value provided by the main body at the time of splitting. A smile peeked from theer of Bai Qi¡¯s mouth. He eagerly grabbed Gamma and headed for the battle room.
Unlike the nurturing room that was indoors, Bai Qi had ced the battle room outside. He had separated it from other areas with metal all around and underground, to prevent causing excessive external damage.
¡°Gamma, use Split.¡±
Bai Qi tossed Gamma onto the grass, immediately gave his orders.
Kaput Kaput.
(Okay, master.)
Upon receiving themand, Gamma¡¯s body suddenly shook. A gold line swiftly swam around, directly pulling apart a portion of Gamma¡¯s body and quickly shaping it into a smaller Gamma.
This was not the end. Gamma continued to split until ten split bodies appeared around it before stopping.
The appearances of these split bodies were the same as Gamma. In other words, they were jelly-like. Each split body had a golden line, pointing at Gamma¡¯s main body.
¡°Let¡¯s see the resistance first.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Schuck. Schuck instantly understood and directly sprayed a fine thread of Thunder me Power onto one of the split bodies.
As it was invaded by the Thunder me Power, the split body began to wriggle uncontrobly, letting the thread of Thunder me Power flow around it.
But after a short period of wriggling, the split body immediately burst into pieces, scattered on the ground without showing any signs of recovery.
As expected, the split bodies couldn¡¯t inherit Gamma¡¯s absurd physique. Although they did have some resistance, it was noticeably weaker.
Was it because the energy value of the split was too small?
Or could it just not be inherited at all?
Bai Qi furrowed his brows slightly. This result was a bit too different from his expectations.
¡°Schuck, test the Energy Absorption effect.¡±
Schuck nodded. Various Energy Sources were immediately applied, and under the control of Gamma, the split entities rushed up madly absorbing the energy.
Well, the Energy Absorption efficiency wasn¡¯ t bad. Although not as good as Gamma, it was able to y a role.
¡°So, only thest skill is left!¡±
Bai Qi passed themand to Gamma. Gamma promptly understood. Arge green halo quickly spread out, and the remaining split bodies also released a rtively smaller circle in a copycat manner.
They could really inherit Deadly Poison Aura!
Bai Qi grinned. Even though the split bodies¡¯ resistance wasn¡¯t as strong as Gamma¡¯s, being capable of using Deadly Poison Aura was enough.
Split + Deadly Poison Aura, when Gamma reaches the third stage, or when its Bloodline Level is promoted to the Lord Level, and the data of the Energy Value is pulled up, this tactic will shine.
Split + Poison, the stacked poison will be threatening enough.
After the testing, Bai Qi had Gamma recall its skill. The split bodies gradually returned to the main body, and as for the split body that burst open earlier, Gamma took the initiative to eat it.
Eating myself, Gamma was capable of really doing this.
Bai Qi made a few mockeries. Immediately after, he felt a heat wave from the Rune Mark on the back of his left hand. He immediately reacted, striding towards the nurturing room.
At this point, the nurturing room was thoroughly enveloped in the Evolution Light, and the Silver Egg had already cracked open a great deal. You could vaguely make out the tall figure inside, and asionally hear a few howling sounds.
Seeing this spectacle, it seemed like it seeded!
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. During a racial evolution, absorbing materials and acquiring skills was inevitable. Still, he wondered what skill Alpha had gained.
But his wish came true. As Bai Qi was specting, a piece of information was transmitted into his brain.
[Skill Name]: Wind Wound
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Wind-based passive skill. Elves walking in the wind can be as tyrannical as the howling wind or as silent as the breeze. But everywhere they pass, they leave behind scars that are difficult to heal.
Well¡
Wind Wound¡ it seemed quite different from the Saber-toothed tiger¡¯s skill¡
Bai Qi was filled with curiosity. However, Alpha¡¯s evolution hadn¡¯t ended, so he could only wait patiently.
High-grade Lord¡ Maybe it could gain a new Super Skill?
Chapter 168 - 167: The Brotherhood that Denies All Kinship?
Chapter 167: The Brotherhood that Denies All Kinship?
Trantor: 549690339
Because it wasn¡¯t a major Racial Evolution, the time Alpha took to evolve wasn¡¯t as long as when it first evolved into the Wilting Dragon Lord. Soon, the Evolution Light began to gradually dissipate.
¡°So, the acquisition of Lord-level super skills is indeed random, right?¡±
Looking at the gradually rifying figure of Alpha, Bai Qi sighed with a bit of regret.
Theoretically speaking, Lord-level creatures have a chance of obtaining a super skill at each minor evolutionary stage. However, this is just a theory. Most of them only have one such opportunity.
Previously, when Alpha evolved directly into a Mid-Level Lord, it only acquired ¡®Withering Breath¡¯. But considering the attribute of this power, Bai Qi didn¡¯t mind much.
But now, after evolving into a High-Grade Lord and still not gaining any super skill, Bai Qi inevitably felt a sense of regret.
Well, he nned to exchange for some Mythical Materials at the Association afterpleting the intensive training. He was sure to gain some super skills then.
If he couldn¡¯t understand it on his own, couldn¡¯t he just forcefully add some extra stuff to it?
Just then, aplex piece of information suddenly appeared in Bai Qi¡¯s mind. He read over it carefully and then began tough loudly.
Awoo?
(Has this human gone crazy?)
¡°Without thinking, it must be that Alpha has gained a super skill.¡±
Woof Woof Woof!
(Yet another super skill?! How are we supposed to fight now!)
¡°Not every day is about battling and killing; we are technical personnel. Come, let¡¯s go and choose some melee weapon data.¡±
[Skill Name]: Sword de Storm
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Description]: A Metal and Wind skill, invokes an innumerable amount of sword des. Using a strong wind to set them in rotation around the user¡¯s body. It inflicts damage on surrounding enemies. During this skill, the user gains damage resistance effects.
Holy smokes, he actually got another super skill!
Looking at the description of the Sword de Storm skill, Bai Qi involuntarily wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Although the skill¡¯s name reminded him of a certain red-skinned, husky brute, that didn¡¯t stop Bai Qi from being pleased about his luck, causing him to feel a sense of aplishment.
Indeed, which boy wouldn¡¯t dream of holding a sharp sword and sweeping across the world?
Finally, the Evolution Light surrounding Alphapletely dissipated. The Silver Egg turned into a beam of light and merged into Alpha¡¯s body. A never- before-seen, fierce aura radiated from Alpha¡¯s body. Bai Qi even felt a slight prickling sensation on his skin.
Is this what they call ¡®sword aura¡¯?
Bai Qi tipped his head thoughtfully and made a self-deprecatingment.
No way, thisisn¡¯tsomefantasynd. This was probably Alpha¡¯ s Wind Wound passive ability.
¡°Alpha, how do you feel?¡± he asked.
Crackling noises.
(Good, there¡¯s a new power in my body. My Control Object ability seems to have gotten stronger.)
As he spoke, Alpha spread out his palm. A gust of wind blew and the Withering Sword and Gravity Sword flew out from behind him. Under Alpha¡¯s control, they made various high difficulty and agile movements.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily. Initially, Alpha only manipted objects for brief periods of flight through the Control Object Rune. With Gravity Amplification, he reduced the effect of gravity. Now with wind abilities, his speed had obviously improved.
¡°Let¡¯s go test your new skill.¡±
Bai Qi and Alpha returned to the battle room. He had Schuck use the Etherium Liquid Gold to form several training dummies.
In any case, Etherium Liquid Gold had be a part of the Husky. As long as they had enough energy, they could always recover it. It was the best tool for testing skills.
Awoo¡
(Suddenly I feel a bit panicked. It seems like I won¡¯t have enough time to whack this skull.)
Seeing Schuck obediently making training dummies, Beta surreptitiously nced at Alpha and suddenly slumped.
¡°Theoretically speaking, if both our levels are lower, we will indeed not be Alpha¡¯s opponents.¡±
Schuck lightly added, ¡°However, we still have a pretty significant potential for improvement. You should try to strengthen the primary consciousness.¡±
Awoo?
(Why me, can¡¯t you do it?)
¡°I haven¡¯t fully developed the Etherium Liquid Gold¡¯s characteristics. Apart from further improving the strength of the Mimicry weapon, there won¡¯t be any significant improvement for a while, so it¡¯s up to you.¡±
Hearing Schuck¡¯s words, Beta became excited, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Humans improved their Spirit Power using this method. I¡¯m so smart; I can definitely do it too!
Zzz¡
Seeing Beta suddenly fall asleep, Schuck shook his head helplessly. After finishing the training dummies, he silently turned on the camera system, firmly focusing on Alpha.
¡°Alpha, try out Wind Wound first.¡±
Alpha nodded, walked into the middle of several metal walls, and gradually released his suppression of Wind Wound.
Even though Wind Wound was a passive skill, like the dragon¡¯s might, it could be actively suppressed to control its effect.
Faint scratches immediately appeared on the metal walls, but due to the properties of Etherium Liquid Gold, these scratches were quickly healed.
After all, if it could withstand Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s Wind de, such a petite damage from Etherium Liquid Gold was nothing to worry about.
Looking at this, it seemed to be able to cause invisible cutting damage to surrounding enemies. It was indeed a good grass-cutting skill.
¡°Alpha, turn up the effect to the max!¡±
Alpha nodded,pletely letting go of the restriction. Suddenly, a whirlwind was blowing inside the Secret Space. The Etherium Liquid Gold walls could no longer keep up with the damage from Wind Wound, and the scratches increased more and more.
This skill, it just didn¡¯t want to have any friends!
Looking at the metallic walls that seemed to have been shed with thousands of des, Bai Qi smacked his lips.
If this skill was used in a battle, not to mention defeating enemies, allies would be hurt first. It was just like Gamma¡¯s Deadly Poison Aura, hurting a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred allies.
Well, it seemed that Gamma had some resistance to cutting, and Alpha wasn¡¯t afraid of the Deadly Poison Aura. These two could make a good team.
An association of close rtives?
¡°Alright, enough for now. Let¡¯s check out your Super Skill!¡±
Bai Qi roughly figured out the effect of Wind Wound, and then with a full heart, he prepared to appreciate the effect of the Super Skill.
Looking at the skill description, Sword Storm was simr to Wind Wound. But after all, Sword Storm was a Super Skill, and it also had two attributes, so it surely had some special features.
Upon receiving Bai Qi¡¯smand, Alpha ceased Wind Wound. One by one, bones continuously sprouted and transformed from his spine, gradually turning into arrays of de swords.
These swords only retained their bodies and had no handles. You could vaguely see shimmering golden light streaming through the crystal body of the sword, already revealing its sharpness even without trying it out.
¡°Schuck, get arger target.¡±
Seeing more and more des gathering around Alpha, Bai Qi immediately ordered Schuck to erge the target. Schuck nodded and a metal statue of a Saber-toothed Tiger, urately recreated to scale, appeared in front of Alpha.
¡°Alpha, go for it!¡±
Crack crack!
(Sword Storm!)
Alpha nodded. A golden light immediately appeared on his crystal bones. At the same time, the surrounding des started to rotate like a hurricane, instantly grinding the repairing metal walls from the wound marks left by Wind Wound into pieces.
Without having any direct contact, it already showed such a strong effect. The base destruction force of Sword Storm was even stronger than Withering Breath!
However, the damage from these des seemed to be not only directed externally. There were nging noises transmitting from Alpha¡¯s body, but all of them were blocked by the Overlord effect.
So the Overlord effect wasn¡¯t there to block other people¡¯s attacks, it was there to protect oneself.
A Beast Control version of Seven-injury Fist indeed!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, and he excitedly looked over at the Saber-toothed Tiger statue not far away.
In order to test the power of Sword Storm to the maximum extent, Schuck didn¡¯t disconnect himself from the Saber-toothed Tiger statue. The self-repair speed of Etherium Liquid Gold was different from the separated metal walls.
And from a certain perspective, it was also considered a battle between the twin pets.
Finally, Alpha¡¯s Sword Storm reached a peak speed. Alpha stepped forward and quickly ran towards the Saber-toothed Tiger statue.
With Alpha closing in, deep-to-the-bone scratches immediately appeared on the Saber-toothed Tiger statue. Some parts were even directly cut off by swords and turned immediately into fragments.
But with Schuck¡¯s energy guidance, these damaged parts were quickly repaired and even became tougher.
However, with Alpha¡¯s continuous approach, Schuck¡¯s repair speed visibly dropped, and the Saber-toothed Tiger statue was gradually destroyed until it waspletely demolished.
Looking at the devastated battle room, Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel the slightest pity; instead, he giggled.
With such a powerful destructive skill, if he had to fight the Saber-toothed Tiger now, perhaps the fight wouldn¡¯t need to be so strenuous?
Moreover, there was still room for development for this Sword Storm¡
¡°Alpha, can you include the Withering Sword and Gravity Sword into Sword Storm?¡±
Crack crack.
(Sure, they are just rotating around anyhow, any swords will do.)
¡°Is that so¡¡±
Bai Qi grinned upon hearing this. Adding the Withering and Gravity Swords into a bunch of metal swords would make it even harder to deal with. If he could add some other special features to the metal swords, it would be even stronger.
Things like bleeding, blindness, dizziness, anything goes.
At this thought, Bai Qi had a sudden epiphany and told Alpha about it. Alpha, being a practical character, immediately carved out dozens of swords proficiently, carving some runes onto them, then controlled these swords to float behind him along with the Withering and Gravity Sword.
Watching the revolving des encircling around the back of Alpha¡¯s head, coupled with the Withering and Gravity Swords floating like wings on Alpha¡¯s shoulders, he looked like a giant sword angel. Thebination with his skeletal body created a weird and discordant beauty.
Let¡¯s not start about whether it could fight or not, this look was surely going to upstage everyone!

Trantor: 549690339
Looking at Alpha, who was bing more imposing by the minute and a far cry from his original skeletal, feeble appearance, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He then started to sense Alpha¡¯s condition.
[Name]: Wilting Dragon Lord (Alpha)
[Attribute]: Ice n, Undead Department, Dragon Department
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Eighth Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-Level Lord
[Racial skills]: Withering Breath (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Dragon Might (High Level ¨C Proficient), Skeleton Maniption (High Level ¨C Perfect), Ice Crystal Barrier (High Level ¨C Perfect), st Crystal Spike (High Level ¨C Perfect), Shadow Lotus Skill (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), Gravity Amplification (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Wind Wound (High Level ¨C Beginner), de Storm (Super Level ¨C Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 4100000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Both levels had been upgraded, but apart from the addition of Wind Wound and de Storm skills, Alpha¡¯s racial name hadn¡¯t changed.
¡°Because there hasn¡¯t been a qualitative change, it¡¯s still the Wilting Dragon Lord?¡±
Bai Qi pondered and then noticed Schuck squatting thoughtfully next to the battle room, staring nkly at the pile of Etherium Liquid Gold.
Had he been so shocked that he fell into depression?
Seeing this, Bai Qi coughed lightly, intending to attract Schuck¡¯s attention.
As Instructor Lv said, a qualified Beast Master should notice their pet¡¯s mental state and coordinate the rtionship between their pets in a reasonable way. Otherwise, it would affect the performance of the pets.
It was time to show off hismunication skills, honed through two lifetimes as a Beast Master.
Schuck was indeed alerted by Bai Qi¡¯s cough. Upon seeing Bai Qi, who showed a kind and friendly face approaching him, Schuck immediately deduced Bai Qi¡¯s intentions.
¡°I understand what you want to do, Beast Master. I am not as fragile as you think. Besides, I have already thought of ways to strengthen ourbat abilities.¡±
A stream of data flowed through Schuck¡¯s electronic eyes, indicating that he had already begun to simte.
¡°Also, if there¡¯s a chance, you can pay attention to spiritual materials. Both Beta¡¯s and my abilities are fundamentally based on Spirit Power.¡±
¡°Oh, alright.¡±
Upon hearing Schuck¡¯s words, Bai Qi nodded ndly.
In this day and age, pets could already self-soothe and progress on their own?
Bai Qi looked at Alpha, who had just acquired new skills and upgraded to a High-Level Lord and was already getting used to his new power.
As for Gamma, he was a wee departure from his usualziness, ying with his own split embodiment.
Bai Qi felt strangely like he didn¡¯t exist¡
Watching his three pets involved in their individual activities, Bai Qi suddenly felt like an old father abandoned by his three grown sons, feeling a sense of mncholy in his heart.
¡°I might as well study the runes¡¡±
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly and returned to his room to wrestle with the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube.
The Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube had been yed up to the fifteenth stage, and Bai Qi clearly felt a little exhausted. This side alone had taken him nearly a week, and he still had two sides left unfinished.
The further he went, the more the runes on the cube differed from the runes in Professor Dong¡¯s dictionary. Even while referring to the dictionary, it was bing difficult.
However, after seeing the ancient runes in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, Bai Qi gained some understanding.
The further he got in the cube, the older the recorded runes became. Now, he was dealing with ancient runes.
¡°Isn¡¯t this it?¡±
Thanks to the rubbings, the chaotic fragments of the cube suddenly began to clear up. Bai Qi¡¯s operation speed became faster and faster. The side that was supposed to take a week waspleted in just half an hour, followed by the second side.
Finally, as dusk fell outside, Bai Qi finallypleted the cube in his hand.
Clip-clop¡
Apanied by the sound of a mechanism turning, the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube slowly floated into the air, then shifted and fell back into Bai Qi¡¯s hand.
It was an impressive sixteen-stage Rubik¡¯s Cube!
¡°Is this trying to kill me¡¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly, and he had the impulse to dismantle the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube.
¡°Huh?¡±
At this moment, Bai Qi suddenly found that some parts of the cube seemed to have some divisions. He quickly operated without paying attention to the runes on it.
The difficulty of the sixteen-tier rune was obviously higher by one level. Bai Qi spent about an hour gathering the blocks with some gaps to the same surface. Although it was still not very clear, a faint outline could already be seen.
A lock hole.
Looking at the keyhole on the cube, Bai Qi immediately thought of the key he had sold to the Thirteenth Bureau.
Looking at it that way, the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube ultimately definitely needed that key to be opened, but now that key was in the hands of the Thirteenth Bureau¡ª there was surely no hope now.
This reminded him, maybe that puppet in the final stage could have also been opened with the key?
¡°Oh hell, I got ripped off!!!¡±
Bai Qi painfully thumped his chest, wishing he could travel back in time and kill his past self who was content with trading for a piece of mythical resource.
He was crying because of his own stupidity¡
¡°I didn¡¯t know you were a masochist.¡±
Just at that moment, Luo Xiang suddenly popped up at the door of Bai Qi. After nced at the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube in Bai Qi¡¯s hand, Luo Xiang said, ¡°Is this what you got from the Gemini Tower? To open it, do you need that key?¡±
No wonder Luo Xiang was a seasoned traveler in secret realms¡ªhe quickly noticed the connection between the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube and the key.
At Luo Xiang¡¯s words, Bai Qi stammered, ¡°Instructor Luo, do you know about this?¡±
¡°Sort of, Beast Masters from the Era of Law Emperor liked to y these sorts of tricks. We get used to them.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, taking the Rubik¡¯s Cube from Bai Qi¡¯s hands, and said, ¡°But a 16-stage Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube is indeed rare. It seems that the Gemini Tower isn¡¯t the end. There may be more secret realm towers that follow.¡±
Upon hearing Luo Xiang¡¯s words, Bai Qi fell into deeper despair.
He had sold the key, so he didn¡¯t hold out any hope for the following secret realm towers.
¡°You are worried that the Thirteenth Bureau will find the secret realm first, right?¡±
Luo Xiangughed, saying: ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although I¡¯m not sure if there are otherponents, the cube is essential to open the next secret realm tower. So you can just wait quite peacefully for the Thirteenth Bureau toe to you.¡± ¡°Remember, the party who possesses more elements to enter the secret realm is the most anxious one. You are alone, so what¡¯s there for you to worry about?¡± At these words, Bai Qi was shocked. Was it the minority who actually had the advantage?
With a smirk on his face, Luo Xiang said, ¡°Remember to fleece the Thirteenth Bureau well, and ensure that you are a part of the exploration too.¡±
¡°The value of these secret realm towers that are distributed in different areas is not low.¡±
Bai Qi hastily nodded at that. If the Thirteenth Bureaues looking for him again for a trade, he will propose a deal to trade the technology for space transmission or some other Seven Stage technology. Even if he can¡¯t use it now, researching it in advance would be good.
¡°Oh, by the way, big brother Luo, did youe here to see me for something?¡± Luo Xiang nodded, answering, ¡°I need to go to the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm first and I probably won¡¯te out for a while. You follow Uncle Chun for now. He¡¯ll arrange your tasks.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help twitching at the corners of his eyes. That decadent uncle, would he identally forget him in the secret realm one of these days when he gets too drunk?
¡°Don¡¯t underestimate Uncle Chun. If I were to really count it, Uncle Chun would be my teacher. He¡¯s definitely a top-three expert at cracking secret realms in the Association.¡±
¡°Top three?¡±
In Bai Qi¡¯s mind, the image of a drunken Chun Yushui surfaced. He found it hard to connect it with what Luo Xiang had just said.
¡°You will understand once you spend more time with Uncle Chun.¡±
Luo Xiang smiled, looking at thepletely dark sky outside, and said, ¡°I should get going. How much credit you can earn depends on Uncle Chun¡¯s evaluation. See ya¡¡±
After speaking, Luo Xiang turned around and left.
Just like before, he suddenly popped in and out like the wind¡
Bai Qi, looking at Luo Xiang disappearing into the night, shook his head. Then, he took out an Angel Fruit to curb his hunger.
This was a strange ce to him, and he didn¡¯t feel like going out to find something to eat. Besides, he just wanted something quick and easy.
After all, the 16-stage Magic Cube, which may have been the key to enter the next secret realm tower, was still unfinished. There were also ancient runes that he had not begun to study yet. He had many things to handle.
¡°Hey! Bai Qi, it¡¯s time for dinner!¡±
Just then, Chun Yushui¡¯s shout came from outside the door. Bai Qi went to the door and was surprised to see numerous bonfires that had set up outside the door. The association¡¯s Beast Masters who had been diligently deciphering the entrance to the secret realm during the day were now singing and dancing around the bonfires.
Were they having a bonfire party?
Bai Qi stared nkly at the scene before him. Leaning against the wall, Chun Yushui thenughed and said, ¡°Kid, this is not the Headquarters. It¡¯s not that formal here,e and join the chaos!¡±
¡°Is this really okay?¡±
Bai Qi touched his forehead, somewhat troubled. It was really hard for Bai Qi to connect the idea of Chun Yushui and a top-three secret realm cracker in the Association.
¡°Cracking a secret realm isn¡¯t as easy as it seems. If youck the Breaking the Void talent, a single rune could trap you for the rest of your life. Try not to be constantly stressed; you need to find a way to cheer yourself up, else you might easily copse mum- ¡±
With augh, Chun Yushui passed Bai Qi a bottle of wine, asking, ¡°Would you like to give it a try?¡±
¡°I¡¯d better not. I don¡¯t have this habit.¡±
With an awkward smile, Bai Qi declined Chun Yushui¡¯s kind offer and showed no intention of joining the bonfire party.
If what Chun Yushui said was true, that would exin Luo Xiang¡¯s mysterious and elusive style¡ªhe must have just wanted to unwind.
However, he, on the other hand, didn¡¯t seem to have much pressure here. Wasn¡¯t the door to the secret realm always opening automatically at his touch?

Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s appearance, Chun Yushui shrugged nonchntly.
That kid Luo Xiang was the same when he first came to the association, and now¡
Ah, to be young.
Chun Yushui took a couple of swigs of wine and said, ¡°Oh, by the way, I heard about a guy named Bai Qi who came up with a rune evolution. Is that you?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. His name had spread throughout the Federation due to the new evolution system involving the Undead Department. He was ustomed to it.
¡°Young people do have great ideas. We older guys have been scrutinizing runes for so many years, but none of us have created anything like this.¡±
Chun Yushui gave Bai Qi an appreciative look before saying, ¡°It¡¯s a pity this evolution method can¡¯t be applied to other departments, or else there would definitely be a page for you in future history books.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, ¡°Uh, I¡¯m still young. I don¡¯t n on making history books for now.¡±
¡°Pfft¡hahaha, you¡¯re an interesting kid. I¡¯m liking you more and more.¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, Chun Yushui couldn¡¯t help but spit out his wine, then burst intoughter, attracting the attention of many people.
¡°But your level is still too low. You¡¯d better not spend too much time on these matters. Leveling up is the priority.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Without a high enough level, even if he deciphered the secret entrance, he wouldn¡¯t be able to properly explore. If they hadn¡¯t had the ve contract to suppress the saber-toothed tiger they encountered during the day, they would have all been dead meat.
¡°Uncle Chun, what are youughing at?¡±
Hearing Chun Yushui¡¯sughter, a young man quickly ran over. Seeing Bai Qi sitting next to him, he immediately said, ¡°You must be Bai Qi, right? Hello, I¡¯m Feng Ye, also known as the self-proimed ¡®Emperor of Luck.¡¯¡±
Uh, your emphasis makes it hard not to be suspicious¡
Bai Qi resisted the urge to ask further and politely extended his hand, saying, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Bai Qi.¡±
¡°Feng Ye, you came just in time. You two are at the same rank. How about a duel?¡±
Chun Yushui grabbed a person with one hand, looked at the bonfire pile, and said, ¡°We¡¯ve been digging in the dirt all day. Everyone is getting sick of it. How about letting two young people fight to liven things up?¡±
¡°Sure!¡±
¡°Feng Ye, here¡¯s your chance to bully a newbie. Seize it!¡±
¡°Haha, is Little Ye finally changing his luck, no longer being bullied by you bunch of shameless old men?¡±
¡°Tsk, you¡¯re the one always swindling Feng Ye. Each month he doesn¡¯t even have his allowance for a day before you¡¯ve conned him out of it. Look at the poor kid, he¡¯s starving.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it you who runs the gambling?¡±
Listening to the chaos around them, Feng Ye seemed somewhat interested, while Chun Yushui didn¡¯t wait for Bai Qi¡¯s answer and pushed the two of them out.
¡°Boys, set up the arena, I¡¯m running the bets!¡±
Roar, roar, roar!!!
A group of bystanders quickly moved the bonfire away, clearing arge space, while also setting up runes around it. A simple isted fighting ring was thus set up.
Watching the bustling association members cing their bets, Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly.
He suddenly felt that Zhou Yan might be more suited for this ce.
Oh, Zhou Yan doesn¡¯t know runes, he can¡¯te.
Watching Feng Ye, who had silently walked to the other side, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
Although he would rather go back and study the Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, having been pushed this far, it wasn¡¯t good to back down now.
¡°Uncle Chun, I want to ce a bet too, betting on myself to win!¡±
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He saw the crowdrgely betting on Feng Ye. How could he not seize this opportunity to fleece them?
¡°Not bad, not bad. You¡¯re adapting very quickly.¡±
Chun Yushui nodded satisfied. He then looked at the two and said seriously, ¡°Please take your positions, Beast Masters, and summon your beasts.¡±
Returning back to his position, Bai Qi directly summoned Alpha.
¡°Wow, what a handsome beast!!!¡±
As soon as Alpha appeared, it captured the eyeballs of several female Beast Masters and even some of the young male Beast Masters were somewhat stunned.
¡°Youth. The strength of a beast is not about appearance, what¡¯s solid is what¡¯s true. Little Ye, show them your beast.¡±
Feng Ye nodded and summoned his beast, arge Earth Elemental.
[Name]: Earth Elemental
[Nature]: Elemental System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Level]: Three-stage nine-level
[Introduction]: A creature living in the Elemental World, equipped with powerful defense capabilities and physical attack power. Though mild-tempered, it usually avoids provocation.
¡°Look, this is the type of beast a man should contract¡ªdignified, domineering, not shy.¡±
The Beast Masters around them were clearly very bullish on Feng Ye. After all, they had watched him grow bit by bit. Although he was only at the third stage, his strength was undeniable.
If only his luck were a bit better¡
Upon seeing that both had summoned their beasts, Chun Yushui asked once more for confirmation, ¡°Are you both ready? If so, let thepetition begin!¡±
Right as he finished speaking, Feng Ye¡¯s Earth Elemental sprung into action,unching the first attack. Its seemingly bulky body astonishingly levitated, flying directly toward Alpha.
¡°This is gravity control, huh? Well, who said that an Earth Elemental has to move on the ground?¡±
Bai Qi immediately recognized the Earth Elemental¡¯s method of advance and, showing no surprise, watched as Alpha typically summoned an Ice Crystal Barrier test.
However, it was apparent that the Ice Crystal Barrier could not stop the Earth Elemental, shattering at the slightest touch.
The Ice Crystal Barrier is quite effective against some Energy Series attacks, but when facing an Earth Elemental, a creature with a strong physical output, it falls short.
Even so, Alpha was used to an Ice Crystal Barrier shattering upon impact and did not mind it at all. The monster opened its mouth and exhaled a Breath of Withering, which intertwined with the shards of ice and swept towards the Earth Elemental.
¡°Earth Elemental, defend!¡±
Feng Ye instinctively sensed something wrong and promptly warned the Earth Elemental. The Earth Elemental shivered, shedding numerous small stones that suspended around it, blocking the attack of the ice shards.
At the moment that the ice shards and stones collided, the Beast Masters in the audience gasped in surprise.
¡°Is this corrosion? No, it feels more like weathering.¡±
¡°How is this possible? The weathering of ordinary stones takes at least several decades. How did it weather so quickly?¡±
In the surprised eyes of the crowd, the stones summoned by the Earth Elemental instantly rotted under the Withering Power, exposing the Earth Elemental entirely to the Withering Ice Dust.
¡°Earth Elemental, Gravity Aura!¡±
The Earth Elemental swayed. A dull yellow aura spread out instantly, and the Withering Ice Dust that had been swiftly advancing toward the Earth Elemental was yanked toward the ground by the sharply increased gravity.
But before Feng Ye could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Withering Ice Dust somehow rose back into the sky and flew toward the Earth Elemental once more.
¡°Impossible! How can you adjust to the change in gravity so quickly?¡±
Feng Ye was astonished. However, the moment he saw the Gravity Sword with a flickering light simr to the Gravity Aura behind Alpha, he understood.
¡°I see, so a creature from the Undead Department can also control gravity. I was careless.¡±
¡°But, can you stop this?¡±
When he finished speaking, the Earth Elemental gave a heavy thud on the ground. The originally t ground detonated, turning into countless rocks flying toward Alpha.
Upon seeing this, Alpha was not concerned and used the Withering Ice Dust in front of it to block the attack. The rocks couldn¡¯t even prate the circle of Ice Dust before they were corroded cleanly.
However, the crisis for the Earth Elemental was temporarily resolved.
Feng Ye put on a serious face and said, ¡°Well then, let¡¯s have you witness this king¡¯s ultimate move!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth Elemental lifted its arm. The numerous small stones, leftovers from digging the hole, were attracted by it. They gathered and formed a giant stone fist that flew directly toward Alpha. ¡°Take my million-ton fist punch!¡±
Upon hearing Feng Ye¡¯s roar, Bai Qi¡¯s expression turned solemn. The bones surrounding Alpha immediately began to twist and transform, quickly entering a state of Giant Strength. With its hands tightly gripping the Withering Great Sword, it went to meet the rock giant fist flying through the air.
With such arge volumebined with a million tons of strength, this punch was daunting!
Boom!
Finally, fist met sword with a thunderous noise, yet expressions on both Bai Qi and Alpha¡¯s faces changed.
Not because it was too heavy, but because it was too light.
Creak, creak.
(Boss, I feel like I¡¯ve been swindled¡)
Looking at the stone fist in front of it that was as light as a balloon, Alpha instantly shattered it with a stroke of its sword¡ªin its entire existence, this was the first time it showed dissatisfaction to Bai Qi.
¡°Hmm, perhaps this ability needs to charge up?¡±
Bai Qi tilted his head,ing up with a possible exnation, although he himself was somewhat skeptical.
Meanwhile, seeing the Earth Elemental, that hadn¡¯t really achieved any effect with its hit, made Feng Ye a little embarrassed. The surrounding Beast Masters started to heckle him.
¡°Little Ye, looks like you¡¯re out of luck today. A million-ton fist punch? It doesn¡¯t even look like it has a hundred pounds of force.¡±
¡°Hey, who can me Little Ye for being unlucky! He learned such a gamble-like ability. You can¡¯t fault him for being unlucky.¡±
¡°Pfft, haha¡¡±
Listening to the discussions surrounding him, Bai Qi finally understood.
So, he had misunderstood the meaning of ¡®Million-ton Fist Punch¡¯ all along. It wasn¡¯t a million-ton fist punch but a Million Potluck Fist Punch?
The force of the punch was random?
Just at that moment, Bai Qi suddenly realized why Feng Ye would emphasize that he was a king¡ªit was like ast-ditch effort of a tribal chief.
At this thought, Bai Qi¡¯s look at Feng Ye filled with a bit more sympathy andpassion. However, Feng Ye found it hard to ept this.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with being unlucky? If one punch fails, then I¡¯ll throw a hundred!¡±
Feng Ye snorted coldly. Looking at the Earth Elemental, it quickly understood. It absorbed all the fragments around it into its body and increased its massive size once more, resembling a giant.
But the most remarkable was the nearly hundred fists of different sizes surrounding the Earth Elemental.
¡°Let¡¯s try this again: a Million-ton Fist Punch¡ªHundred Fists Style!¡±
Chapter 171 - 170: Young People Should Still Be a Bit Arrogant
Chapter 170: Young People Should Still Be a Bit Arrogant
Trantor: 549690339 |
Looking at the Earth Elemental that seemed as colossal as a giant, a smile subtly tugged on Bai Qi¡¯s mouth.
It was like he was sleeping and someone had given him a pillow, such arge and living target was much more valuable for reference than the inert Metal Sabertooth Tiger that Schuck had brought out.
¡°Alpha, Sword de Storm, use the final version.¡±
Crackle, crackle.
(Understood, master.)
Frustrated by the Earth Elemental¡¯s Million Ton Punch, Alpha was already miffed. Now facing the Earth Elemental¡¯s full-on attack, even if Bai Qi hadn¡¯t said anything, he would have gone full force.
The sharp des that were originally hovering behind Alpha¡¯s head, as well as Withering and Gravity Twin Swords, began to rotate around Alpha under the pull of the fierce wind. Even the ground around Alpha showed traces of being cut. There were even slight cracks appearing on some of the Earth Elemental¡¯s stone fists.
¡°Is this, a Super Skill?¡±
Feng Ye¡¯s expression stiffened momentarily, but he didn¡¯t show intentions of backing down.
Bai Qi was using a Super Skill, but wasn¡¯t his own Million Ton Punches ¨C Hundred Fist Style the same? And Bai Qi¡¯s skill clearly required time to build up, this time was enough for the Earth Elemental to defeat the opponent.
One punch, just one punch to trigger the Ten Thousand Ton attack and the victory in this battle would be his.
But Feng Ye underestimated Alpha¡¯s power. Although Sword de Storm had not fully ignited, Alpha had released the suppression of Wind Wound and was still causing the Earth Elemental some considerable trouble.
When the Earth Elemental¡¯s stone fist neared Alpha, Alpha¡¯s surroundings were already filled with sword des, and the Sword de Storm finally began to reveal its might.
With continuous boosting from Alpha, the rotating speed of the Sword de Storm got faster and faster. In the end, the shape of the sword des waspletely invisible, leaving only a rapidly rotating hurricane.
¡°Ye won¡¯t lose, right? This skill seems more reliable than Ye¡¯s.¡±
¡°He shouldn¡¯t. After all, Ye is almost at the Four Stage, and he is an Elemental System beast. He definitely has an advantage in Energy Value, he shouldn¡¯t fail¡±
¡°That¡¯s good, I¡¯ve put all my monthly allowance into this bet.¡±
As these people were discussing, Sword de Storm and the Earth Elemental¡¯s Million Ton Punch finally collided.
In an instant, hundreds of the Earth Elemental¡¯s stone fists shattered, rock fragments flew in the sky, but they turned to powder before they touch the ground, kicking up arge cloud of dust.
¡°No wonder the president had Luo Xiang bring him along. If we exclude King Level standpoint, this skill can already pose an initial threat to King Level creatures¡¡±
Chun Yushui watched with interest as Alpha disyed his skill, then turned his gaze to Feng Ye.
¡°If the trigger doesn¡¯t ur soon, Ye is going to lose.¡±
Just as Chun Yushui¡¯s thought came up, Alpha¡¯s Sword de Storm hesitated for a moment, and some metal fragments were scrapped. They were visibly broken by the Earth Elemental¡¯s Million Ton Punch.
Actually triggered?
Since when can a chief be saved by quantity?
Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, while Feng Ye was overjoyed.
It really triggered. Ten Thousand Ton Punch, he didn¡¯t believe a small skeleton could withstand it.
However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, although the Sword de Storm was hit by a stone fist and left a gap, and even fell on Alpha, Alpha¡¯s body shed with a golden light. He slightly staggered, but beyond that, there was no further movement, and the Sword de Storm continued to spin once again.
Tyrant Body.
Although the Sword de Storm had a long start-up, it couldn¡¯t be flexibly used like Withering Breath. But with Wind Wound causing damage beforehand and Tyrant Body ignoring the damageter, this start-up time could be ignored.
Seeing that Alpha actually blocked the Earth Elemental¡¯s Million Ton Punch, Feng Ye was suddenly stunned. But at this moment, the Earth Elemental was gradually entering the range of the Sword de Storm.
The brittle outer shell of the Earth Elemental waspletely shattered with a light touch from the Sword de Storm, revealing the Earth Elemental¡¯s true body.
As an elemental creature, the Earth Elemental had extremely strong physical defense. Even when cut by the sword de, it did not immediately copse, leaving only a series of sword marks.
But every time a blue sword light shed, the Earth Elemental¡¯s body would be as fragile as tofu, and its defense would be instantly broken.
¡°Ye, that¡¯s enough. There¡¯s no need to keep going.¡±
Seeing this, Chun Yushui finally spoke up, and Feng Ye did not make any fuss. After sighing, he quickly admitted his defeat.
¡°Damn, Ye really lost, lost to a newbie. What¡¯s the newbie¡¯s name? I¡¯m going to teach him a lesson.¡±
¡°This kid was brought by Luo Xiang, are you sure?¡±
¡°What, that bastard Luo Xiang, then the more I need to¡treat him well.¡±
¡°Ah, my living expenses, I really have to eat dirt this month.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, the boss must have made a lot on this bet, go to his ce and freeload some food and drinks.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go!¡±
The battle ended, most people wore mournful expressions on their faces. There was no helping it, they all chose the more familiar Feng Ye, but ended up losing everything they had.
However, a small number of people did make the correct bet.
And one of them was reasonably Feng Ye!
Bai Qi looked at Feng Ye, who took out the voucher, in surprise, asking, ¡°Did you bet on yourself losing?¡±
Feng Ye shrugged, ¡°Yes. I am notoriously bad at gambling, so of course I have to bet on the other side. If I win, I lose a month¡¯s living expenses. If I lose, I can still make aeback, so it¡¯s a no-loss situation.¡±
Good boy, this was indeed sobering.
Bai Qi silently gave Feng Ye a thumbs up, and was about to find Chun Yushui to collect his prize when he noticed that the stone table in front of Chun Yushui and the betting list had turned into fragments at some point.
¡°Damn it, Master Chun, you¡¯re cheating again!¡±
Seeing Chun Yushui in this state, Feng Ye¡¯s face darkened instantly, and the other beast masters that also won their bets started to protest in unison.
¡°What do you mean by cheating? Gambling is wrong, and I¡¯m just guiding you all towards the right path,¡± said one.
¡°Stop your bbering, you are the dealer, and you still cheated!¡± argued another.
¡°Ridiculous. I have always maintained my integrity and never indulged in such filthy activities.¡±
¡°Master Chun is great, and we do not tolerate gambling!¡±
¡°Um, brother, I think you missed something.¡±
Watching the uproarious mess that had be of Chun Yushui and the others amused Bai Qi.
It seemed the pressure to decode the secrets of the realm had gotten to them. Their current state was a far cry from their disciplined demeanor during the day.
However, it was an amusing sight.
Watching Chun Yushui pursued madly by Feng Ye, Bai Qi realized why the association let a seemingly unreliable drunkard take charge of the development of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.
If it had been someone like Yi Yu from the Thirteenth Bureau, these Beast Masters would have gone mad, wouldn¡¯t they?
The next day.
Knock, knock, knock¡
A series of knocking sounds came through, and Bai Qi immediately put away the half-yed Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube in his hand and opened the door.
¡°I was wondering if you were still asleep. Hurry up, have some breakfast, and then I¡¯ll show you around this ce.¡±
Despite being defeated by Bai Qi the day before, Feng Ye didn¡¯t seem to mind at all. He enthusiastically led Bai Qi to the cafeteria.
Many people were already dining in the cafeteria. Bai Qi recognized a couple of them as the liveliest fromst night. Still, they were now seriously discussing rune decoding with their partners.
¡°Feels quite different fromst night, right? We always do it this way here¡ª work when it¡¯s time to work, and rx when it¡¯s time to rx. We never mix them up. You¡¯ll get used to it.¡±
Hearing Feng Ye¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi could not help but give him a thumbs up. This level of work-life bnce was unheard of in his previous world.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re here. Quickly eat something, Lao Zhou¡¯s breakfast is quite good.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi, Chun Yushui, who was also having breakfast, quickly waved them over.
As Bai Qi approached Chun Yushui, he was met with the strong smell of alcohol.
¡°Uncle Chun, are you already drinking so early in the morning?¡±
Looking at Chun Yushui, who was chugging a bottle of alcohol, Bai Qi felt utterly baffled.
Weren¡¯t work and private life supposed to be separate? Why was he drinking during work hours?
¡°This is the second thing you need to get used to.¡±
Feng Ye shrugged, saying, ¡°Master Chun loses his motivation when he¡¯s not drunk. The drunker he gets, the more efficient he is at deciphering the secrets of the realm.¡±
You can distinguish runes even after drinking? Are you kidding me?
¡°You¡¯ll understand when you see it for yourself. I didn¡¯t believe it at first either.¡±
Feng Ye chuckled and then brought a breakfast te for Bai Qi.
¡°We should eat something first. Then I will introduce you to this ce. You¡¯re good at studying runes. Perhaps you can help me decode a vault.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, saying, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t call myself a Rune Expert, I might not be of much help.¡±
Although he had spent quite some time studying runes and had achieved some sess, he mainly focused on battle runes. The runes on the entrance were primarily restrictive, making him no different from Xiao Bai.
¡°Bai Qi, there¡¯s no need to be so modest here. The more abilities you show, the more respect you will earn from others.¡±
Chun Yushui spoke seriously, ¡®Tve reviewed your performance during the training period. While it¡¯s good to hold back, if you hide your talents too much, you might end up looking foolish. Young people should be more arrogant.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Bai Qi nodded seriously. He asionally worried about being too prominent, but it turned out that he had been too low-key instead.
No wonder those guys kept watching him, as if they were eager to gang up and beat him.
Ah, when he returned this time, he would put on a good show and ¡°convince¡± them all at once.
At the Association headquarters.
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!
Suddenly, Ran Xu sneezed a few times. The spray flying everywhere made Qiao Li frown.
¡°Did you catch a cold? It¡¯s onlyte August.¡±
Ran Xu shook his head, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I suddenly felt a chill down my spine as if something bad was about to happen.¡±
¡°Perhaps you¡¯re stressing too muchtely. Recently, that Gu Shan has also begun to bloom. With Beast Control Space enhancement and Elemental Resonance Talent, why are all the young people ruthless now?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not bad. At leastpared to Bai Qi, it¡¯s¡¡± Achoo!
¡°Perhaps you should pay a visit to the Moon Night Tower. The dissection ss is about to begin, and you might get scolded to death by Instructor Xiao if you show up like this.¡±
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go now, don¡¯t wanna spread my cold to you.¡±
¡°Hmmm, now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, I feel a chill down my back too.¡±
¡°Together, together¡.¡±

After breakfast, Feng Ye brought Bai Qi to a pit.
¡°This is the area I¡¯m in charge of. Although it¡¯s not opened yet, I¡¯m confident that it definitely leads to the core area of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.¡±
Feng Ye pointed at the bronze door before him, full of confidence. Bai Qi, on the other hand, inexplicably felt a tad nervous.
Whatever a tribal chief believes in always seems to go in the opposite direction.
¡°Here are the tranted rune materials from before. Take a look, it will help with your forting deciphering.¡±
Feng Ye handed Bai Qi a stack of manuscripts, then began his own research.
He had heard yesterday that Luo Xiang had helped the Thirteenth Bureau to reach the next area, and Uncle Chun¡¯s people had been sent to explore together. However, the work on their side could not stop.
After all, the scale of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm was unprecedentedlyrge, and nobody knew if any door directly led to the core area.
Although the two sides talked about exploration together, the one who discovered it first could always gain an early advantage.
Bai Qi took Feng Ye¡¯s manuscript and briefly browsed it.
The notes were very detailed; not only did they exin single runes, but they also tranted their possible meanings whenbined. It was clear that Feng Ye¡¯s rune knowledge was very advanced, at least higher than most people in the training camp.
Most importantly, most of these runes were ancient runes, and ordinary rune knowledge was basically useless.
¡°Feng Ye, you are also a member of the Beast Master Association, right? Why didn¡¯t you participate in the special training?¡±
Although Feng Ye lost to him yesterday, he was absolutely among the top in the training team and should have participated as far as reason dictates.
Feng Ye said, ¡°Training? Spare me. I like digging in secret realms, training¡¯s too grueling and doesn¡¯t suit me.¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback and then responded.
People like Feng Ye probably couldn¡¯t adapt to the lifestyle of the training camp, as it was rather disciplined.
¡°People like us basically hate staying at the headquarters. We follow Master Chun all year round to dig up secret realms. Now that we¡¯ve discovered the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, who wants to participate in the tiring training?¡±
Upon hearing Feng Ye¡¯s words, Bai Qi nodded appreciatively.
Indeed, unlike the training camp that would continue to be held, the elusive Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm was far more attractive.
Thinking about this, Bai Qi put down the manuscript in his hand and began to study the gate in front of him.
Feng Ye¡¯s notes were extremely detailed and he quickly found simr runes on the big gate. Just as he was about to go up and study them carefully, the runes on the bronze gate suddenly shone and then opened with a loud bang.
Feng Ye, who was busily figuring out the password, was momentarily stunned when the door suddenly opened. He then looked at Bai Qi, the ¡°culprit¡±, and said, ¡°What did you just do? Why did it suddenly open?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged innocently and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything, I just touched it.¡±
Feng Ye was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°So that¡¯s the Breaking the Void talent. Isn¡¯t it too buggy?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. This was the third time, it seemed that every time he encountered a Secret Realm Gate, it opened directly. But he really didn¡¯t have the Breaking the Void talent.
Could it be because he¡¯s too handsome?
Bai Qi looked at the Evolution Egg in his Beast Control Space, which was quiet without any movement, and was increasingly confident in his guess.
Yes, that must be it.
¡°Yo, Ye, you¡¯ve finally opened the door. Let me see where it goes.¡±
The sound of the door opening attracted many people to check it out. But upon seeing the grey vortex on the door, they suddenly burst intoughter.
¡°Hahaha, you¡¯ve actually found a scrap secret realm, Ye, your luck, hahaha¡¡± ¡°Scrap Realm?¡±
Bai Qi curiously looked at Feng Ye. Feng Ye looked a little sullen, but exined, ¡°While the Secret Realm Tower is built using the Beast Master¡¯s Beast Control Space, it also forms an independent space. If the structure of the external tower is not strong enough, the secret realm connected to it can easily be flushed into the chaos space after the Beast Master dies. It¡¯s what we called a Scrap Realm.¡± There was this saying. If you don¡¯t know and rush in directly, won¡¯t you die for sure?
Thinking about his previous experiences of running directly into the Secret Realm, Bai Qi suddenly felt a chill.
He must learn more about the Secret Realm.
It wouldn¡¯t work. Bai Qi should summon Husky. With it around, he should be able to sense something.
¡°We¡¯ve been wasting time these days, let¡¯s find another one.¡±
Feng Ye packed his things simply and Beast Masters specializing in door sealing were immediately there to seal the door.
Although it was a scrap realm and had no value for exploration, leaving it as it was would be too dangerous. So some necessary sealing measures were needed. ¡°Bai Qi, are you nning to join me, or will you find a door yourself? Any unupied one is up for grabs.¡±
Bai Qi gave an awkward smile and said, ¡°I think I¡¯ll go back and study ancient runes before Ie back.¡±
There were so many doors here, who knows whaty behind each door. As for following Feng Ye¡
He heard that misfortune was contagious, better be careful.
For the sake of safety, he¡¯d better study those rubbings from Luo Xiang first, and consider other thingster.
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Feng Ye made no objection but didn¡¯t insist either.
Indeed, it was a bit of a stretch for someone like Bai Qi who, despite having the Breaking the Void talent,ckedprehensive rune knowledge, to forcibly decrypt a secret realm, especially the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, the oldest Secret Realm Tower in human history.
After Bai Qi returned to his room, he immediately entered into the secret realm.
¡°Schuck, have all those imprints been dealt with?¡±
Schuck, who was meddlesome about something, immediately nodded at his words, saying, ¡°I¡¯ve already stored all the ancient runes we¡¯ve collected so far in theputer in the research room, along with theparison results to the modern runes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, wanting to say something more, but he held back upon seeing the diligent efforts of Schuck and Beta.
As expected, Alpha seemed to have been hit quite hard yesterday. It would be better to wait until it finished what it was doing.
Bai Qi entered the research room, turned on theputer, and magnified versions of the ancient runes immediately appeared on arge screen next to him.
One of the reasons why runes were difficult to poprize was the simrities between them.
Just thickening a line slightly or shifting it up or down could change the entire meaning of the rune, which is why Bai Qi usually chose to erge them before studying.
Because Schuck had tidied up in advance, Bai Qi learned quickly. He had memorized the general content of the imprints in just over an hour.
However, practical application would require slow, grinding practice.
¡°Let¡¯spare it with the General Terracotta first.¡±
Bai Qi stretchedzily, contacted Alpha through the contract, and soon, Alpha dragged the General Terracotta in.
Looking at the General Terracotta whose head still sported the patchy appearance, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel some pity.
From a certain perspective, this General Terracotta could be considered the earliest mechanical creature in human history, yet it had been smashed by Li Xusheng.
Li Xusheng had aimed for the head of all ces. Didn¡¯t the man know that the secrets hidden in the head were the most crucial?
¡°Alpha, see if you can restore this guy from the inside out.¡±
*Gargles*
(I¡¯ll give it a try.)
Alpha nodded, put his hand on the head of the General Terracotta, and the initially ttened skull began to slowly bulge.
After evolving once again, Alpha¡¯s gravity control ability improved, and he had gained some control over metal, so restoring the General Terracotta was a bit of a stretch, but possible.
However, after Alpha restored the General Terracotta¡¯s skull to its original shape, Bai Qi immediately found that the rune circuit on it had been damaged.
*Gargles*
(Boss, did I screw up?)
Alpha immediately conveyed a self-reproachful emotion, like a child who had done something wrong. There was no trace of his bravery in battle to be seen.
¡°It¡¯s okay, it was to be expected.¡±
Bai Qi patted Alpha¡¯s shoulder, indicating to him to be at ease.
Although the rune system looked primitive, it was actually very precise. Given what Li Xusheng had done to the General Terracotta, it wouldn¡¯t be strange if it couldn¡¯t be fully restored.
His intent was only to verify the ancient runes he had just studied using the General Terracotta, so as long as there was a vague resemnce, it would suffice.
¡°Hm? This rune looks familiar.¡±
Bai Qi circled around the skull of the General Terracotta, found that the rune on his forehead looked familiar, pausing for a moment, he went back to theputer and did some operations. A simr but noticeably moreplex rune appeared on the screen.
After carefulparison of the two runes, Bai Qi finally confirmed his suspicions.
¡°The runes on the Terracotta Soldiers actually evolved from the ve Contracts of the ferocious beasts. Should I say that the Beast Masters were actually created by the ferocious beasts?¡±
Thinking about his discovery, Bai Qi suddenly developed a deep interest in the history of ferocious beasts. However, he quickly suppressed this urge.
As of now, he was only a third-stage Beast Master. It was still a bit too early to explore the history of ferocious beasts.
¡°However, with a reference object, it seems like I can restore the General Terracotta.¡±
Looking at the broken runes on the General Terracotta, Bai Qi had a fervent look on his face.
Ever since Husky had awakened the consciousness Schuck, it had been quite a while since he had toyhaled over something with his own hands.
¡°Alpha, act as my assistant. If there¡¯s any abnormal movement, suppress it immediately.¡±
*Gargles*
(Understood, boss!)
Alpha nodded, and then seamlessly converged countless des to guard in front of Bai Qi.
¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be so careful.¡±
Seeing the clearly overreacting Alpha, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. But on seeing Alpha¡¯s insistence, he decided not to mention it anymore.
While other people¡¯s pets grew more mature as they leveled up, why did his seem to be more like children?
Yes, he should do some psychological counseling for his pets one of these days.

Chapter 172: Rune Second Stage Evolution
Trantor: 549690339
Mystic Land.
The Laboratory.
¡°Connect this with a three-centimeter straight line, then take a 67-degree curved corner¡¡±
Whileparing with the runes, Bai Qi was instructing Alpha to gradually restore the runes on the body of the General Terracotta. His eyes were full of seriousness.
He initially thought he could handle the repair of General Terracotta himself, but he underestimated the hardness of its bronze body.
Even though his physical strength was far above a normal adult now, and he had the help of the Rune Pen from the Tower of Gratitude, he still couldn¡¯t mark the body of General Terracotta. Eventually, he had to ask Alpha to do the job.
And Bai Qi had to admit, Alpha¡¯s carving skills were indeed better than his. At least, Alpha had been repairing continuously for more than two hours here and he didn¡¯t see Alpha make any mistake. He didn¡¯t even tremble.
It seemed his use was diminishing.
Soon, Alpha repaired thest rune on General Terracotta¡¯s body, while theputer beside them timely projected theplete rune structure on General Terracotta¡¯s body.
¡°So, it uses the ve contract as the framework, filling it with various control runes to form aplete system. This is simply a primitive version of a mechanical control system.¡±
After careful scrutiny, Bai Qi suddenly understood.
Mechanics, puppets, terracottas, these three things seemed unrted, but they were all products created by humans to confront fierce beasts.
It could be said that these three items represented the different technological levels of humans in three different eras.
As for who was superior, Bai Qi could not currently give an evaluation.
After all, with different historical backgrounds, the functions of these creations would also differ.
¡°However, even without an energy system and just relying on some runes, the ancients in the Era of the Emperor managed to animate the terracotta soldiers. They were really formidable. Or is there something I haven¡¯t discovered?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the General Terracotta in front of him, who remained motionless even after the runes were repaired. He was deep in thought.
He had already used instruments to examine it earlier. There was no source of energy inside General Terracotta. Its entire body was cast with a kind of bronze-like metal. If it weren¡¯t for the runes on the surface, it wouldn¡¯t be much different from the statues in the museum.
¡°No wonder the terracotta soldiers, despite their power, didn¡¯t survive. Unknown energy systems and high demands for intact rune systems indeed made it less convenient to build than the modr rune puppets from the Era of the Law Emperor.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head in regret, but a thought urred to him as he saw Alpha standing beside him.
¡°Alpha, please call all the skeleton soldiers from the Mystic Land over here ¨C Icicle, no, all of them.¡±
Alpha nodded. An invisible ripple of spiritual power immediately radiated outward, and after a short while, six skeletons of differing aura appeared in theb.
Icicle, Steel Skull, Fire w, Hidden Sting, Poison Breath, Rock Armor.
These were the result of Bai Qi¡¯s research on rune evolution. They had been kept in the Mystic Land building a base previously. Now that the base waspleted, they had been left idle there.
Bai Qi observed the six skeletons for a while before he asked Steel Skull to step forward and lie down next to the General Terracotta.
Looking at Steel Skull, whose figure was around the same size as General Terracotta, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes glowed. He immediately operated the instrument to construct a holographic projection of Steel Skull.
Then, Bai Qi dragged the rune projection extracted from General Terracotta¡¯s body and slowly transferred it onto Steel Skull. After a round of editing, a brand new rune structure ¨C with a simr overall structure but with vastly different details modified by Bai Qi ¨C soon appeared before him.
¡°Alpha, engrave this onto Steel Skull. Remember not to interrupt halfway.¡±
Click click.
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded. After carefully observing Bai Qi¡¯s new constructed rune structure, he immediately started to work on Steel Skull.
Because of his firsthand experience with restoration, Alpha¡¯s inscription this time around was smooth. He swiftly carved the entire rune structure in no time.
Bai Qi meticulously inspected the result. Once he confirmed that there was no deviation, he told Alpha, ¡°Try to operate the energy.¡±
Alpha nodded, transmitting Bai Qi¡¯s instruction to Steel Skull. A ck light immediately nced across Steel Skull, covering its entire body.
¡°Just like this?¡±
Seeing that there was no change in Steel Skull, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed.
He thought some change might ur. It seemed he was thinking too much.
¡°Well, at least it verifies that amplifying simple runes into arger system structure is feasible.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged. He was about to ask Steel Skull to leave when he noticed the emblem on its forehead, and a thought urred to him.
¡°Alpha, try infusing it with spiritual power.¡±
Alpha nodded, pressing his palm on Steel Skull¡¯s forehead and gently infusing a strand of spiritual power into it.
In an instant, the rune on Steel Skull¡¯s forehead lit up and rapidly spread across its body. By the time the light gathered at the ¡°Steel-forged¡± rune on its spine, Steel Skull was suddenly shrouded in a dazzling light.
Light of Evolution?!
Seeing the light from Steel Skull, Bai Qi was ecstatic.
As expected, the rune structure on General Terracotta was based on the ve Contract. The kind of contract inevitably involved the soul, so using spiritual power to initiate it was the most reasonable approach.
But having Steel Skull evolve again was quite surprising.
Under Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, the Light of Evolution on Steel Skull eventually faded, revealing a much taller metallic figure.
Compared to its previous skeletal appearance, Steel Skull¡¯s body was now mostly covered in metal. It even had ayer of metallic muscles covering its limbs. If it weren¡¯t for the skeletal head that was still there, it would be difficult to associate it with the skeleton it was before.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately ced his hand on Steel Skull. He quickly obtained the information of Steel Skull¡¯s new evolutionary form.
[Name]: ???
[Nature]: Steel Apartment, Undead Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
No race name, is this another type of new evolution form?
Bai Qiughed at this sight, he didn¡¯t expect to discover a brand new type of evolution, and it jumped straight from the mid-level servant to the elite, this is an unexpected surprise.
But the key point was, had he found the second stage evolution method for rune evolution?
ck ck.
(Boss, I feel weird.)
Just as Bai Qi was about to study the brand-new evolution form of Steel Skull, Alpha suddenly sent a message.
¡°Weird?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s expression changed immediately upon hearing this, Luo Xiang had mentioned before that such a ve contract could easily cause a bacsh, normal humans couldn¡¯t withstand this, therefore Bai Qi let Alpha perform it.
In this state, could it be that Alpha was also facing bacsh?
If even a third-order creature cannot bear it, what monstrosities were those ancient beast masters!
¡°Tell mewhat¡¯s going on, is your soul damaged?¡±
The soul is the core of the undead, as long as the fire of the soul is not extinguished, other injuries are irrelevant. If this experiment damages the soul, it would be a big loss.
ck ck.
(No, on the contrary, my soul seems to have grown stronger, and I seem to be able to control Steel Skull directly.)
¡°As long as you¡¯re not hurt, but what do you mean by controlling Steel Skull, didn¡¯t you originally¡¡±
Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief, before he had finished speaking, he suddenly realized something. He quickly searched on Alpha and soon found a pattern simr to the contract rune mark in Alpha¡¯s palm.
Did Alpha contract with Steel Skull?
Created a pet contract with a pet?
Bai Qi was dumbfounded as he looked at the rune in Alpha¡¯s palm and then at Steel Skull, which was obediently standing next to Alpha. His mouth opened and closed, but he didn¡¯t know what to say.
After a long time, Bai Qi slowly digested the information he had just discovered. He instructed Alpha to give Steel Skull a series of orders, which Steel Skull obediently followed.
Of course, Alpha could also aplish these things before. After all, the lord has an unconditional suppression effect on the servant. But obviously, it is now even more fluid.
But what Bai Qi was more interested in was whether there was a rtionship between Steel Skull and Alpha, like that between Alpha and himself, that could influence its growth.
¡°Alpha, you just said your soul got a bit stronger, are you sure?¡±
Alpha tilted his head thoughtfully, after careful contemtion, he nodded his head.
(Yes, I¡¯m sure. It¡¯s like some soul energy has appeared out of thin air, and I seem to be able to actively absorb energy from Steel Skull.)
Active energy absorption, doesn¡¯t that sound a bit like the effect of ferocious beasts on beast soul warriors?
Right, the emperor¡¯s ve contract was learned from the ferocious beasts, so it¡¯s normal to have this effect.
¡°So, did I find a squeeze toy for Alpha?¡±
Thinking that he had done something simr to a ferocious beast, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh, then turned his gaze to the remaining skeletons.
¡°Since there¡¯s already a squeeze toy, then let¡¯s get a few more.¡±
Thump, thump, thump¡
Feng Ye had been knocking on Bai Qi¡¯s door for a long time, but got no reply. Seeing Chun Yushui passing by, he couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Uncle Chun, have you seen Bai Qi?¡±
Chun Yushui shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°I saw him enter his room this morning and haven¡¯t seen him get out since. He is probably busy with some research.¡±
For people like them, who are always exploring secret realms, it¡¯s normal to be caught up in research and go without sleep for days and nights, so Chun Yushui didn¡¯t care much about it.
¡°That¡¯s true. He did say something about researching ancient runes.¡±
Feng Ye nodded his head and was about to leave when Bai Qi¡¯s door suddenly swung open.
¡°Eh, Bai Qi you¡um, what happened to you?¡±
Looking at Bai Qi with a distressed face, covered all over with signs of being burned and frozen, Feng Ye was stunned.
Had Bai Qi¡¯s room been invaded by a ferocious beast? Why does he look this way?
Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°Cough, it¡¯s nothing, just an experiment went a little wrong.¡±
¡°Experiment? What kind of experiment could make you look like this, did you fight with your own pet?¡±
Feng Yeughed at his own words, but was surprised to see Bai Qi actually nod in agreement.
¡°Strictly speaking, I guess¡¡±
Because he had to test whether the skeletons under Alpha¡¯s contract had protective consciousness and was almost beaten to death, should it count as fighting with his own pet?
Chapter 174 - 173: Second Brother is Here!
Chapter 174: Chapter 173: Second Brother is Here!
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Fighting with Beast pets? Tsk, you¡¯re quite the talent!¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Chun Yushuiughed heartily. ¡°I now understand why those guys from the Six Tower offered you the olive branch.¡±
Chun Yushui suddenly leaned in close to Bai Qi and said, ¡°How about considering joining our excavation team? We might not be part of the Six Tower structure, but the benefits are nothing to scoff at.¡±
Feng Ye agreed, nodding vigorously, ¡°Exactly, these fes might be a bit calcting, a little bullying, and the work might be a touch strenuous¡ but the benefits outweigh them all.¡±
Brother, are you here to recruit or drive people away? It¡¯s hard to be swayed by what you¡¯re saying.
Thump!
As expected, right after Feng Ye finished talking, Chun Yushui punched him. ¡°Get lost! Do you always have to speak the brutal truth?¡±
Chun Yushui kicked Feng Ye away, then immediately switched to a friendly smile, ¡°What do you think? Have you considered it?¡±
Bai Qi gave a wry smile, ¡°My level is too low, I think I¡¯ll consider these things
Low? That¡¯s not a problem, we only care aboutbat strength. Levels are irrelevant. If we really had to go by those standards, Ye is even less qualified than you.¡±
Feng Ye stiffened upon hearing this, and gave Chun Yushui a resentful nce, ¡®Boss, there¡¯s no need to trash someone like that.¡±
Chun Yushuipletely ignored Feng Ye, ¡°There¡¯s no rush anyway. You¡¯re still in training, and if I try to snatch you from Six Tower right now, they might cause trouble for me. You can decide when the timees.¡±
Seeing that Chun Yushui wasn¡¯t forcing him, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Being too popr is troublesome, there are always people trying to recruit me wherever I go.
Ugh, so annoying.
¡°Right, the Thirteenth Bureau is preparing to enter the next area. We also need to send two exploration teams to follow, so Bai Qi and Ye, you¡¯re both going.¡± ¡°Going to the Thirteenth Bureau? Can I refuse?¡±
Feng Ye made a face upon hearing this. Although both sides had agreed on a joint exploration, unless one side found a new area to explore together, they were mostly on their own.
Andpared to the Thirteenth Bureau, Feng Ye preferred to hop around in his own territory.
Annoyed, Chun Yushui said, ¡°With your luck, it¡¯s a miracle if you can find one correct door in an entire year. Get lost and join the exploration team.¡±
As for you Bai Qi, you dealt with the people from the Thirteenth Bureau yesterday. Things might go smoother with you there.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t feel it was appropriate to refuse, considering wherever he went, he d have a whale of a time anyway.
While they were discussing, two massive hawks flew from the distance andnded on the open ground next to the camp. Two fully armed squads then came down from the hawks.
A soldier took the lead, briskly walking to Chun Yushui and giving a salute,
The 3rd and 4th teams from the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s Special Forces have arrived. Please arrange for us to enter the secret realm, Master Chun.¡±
Chun Yushui nodded and waved at a middle-aged man standing nearby, ¡°Jin, get your ass over here!¡±
The man named Jin immediately scampered over, a fawning smile stered on his face, ¡°Boss, what are your orders?¡±
Chun Yushui pointed at the two squads in front of him and said, ¡°Take them for
a tour in the secret realm, and don¡¯t get lost.¡±
Jin stood tall upon hearing this, giving a rather clumsy salute. ¡°I assure you I willplete the task!¡±
Watching Jin lead the two teams from the Thirteenth Bureau away, Feng Ye cozied up to Chun Yushui, ¡°Uncle Chun, we also have a secret realm to develop, don¡¯t we? How about I stay behind instead?¡±
¡°No problem, but keep in mind, it¡¯s all traps andbyrinths. Are you sure you want to go?¡±
¡°Um, nevermind then.¡±
Feng Ye resigned and shook his head. Traps andbyrinths? If he went there, he was sure he¡¯d have been toast.
Chun Yushui called a few other people to make up two squads of five, then said, Alright, scram. Your task is to gather information about the next area. I need to allocate personnel based on your reports.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, Boss, we¡¯ll definitely get the job done!¡±
¡°Haha, finally, it¡¯s my turn to go out and y. Boys of the Thirteenth Bureau, your Big Sister ising!¡±
¡°Ahem, Sister Li, tone it down a little.¡±
Tear it down, tear it down! Finally, I don¡¯t have to tread lightly anymore!¡±
Watching the motley crew in front of him, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch. He suddenly understood why, even though the Thirteenth Bureau and the association were exploring the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm together, they were so separated. Could it be that these people were holding themselves backst night?
Despite his inner grumbling, Bai Qi obediently boarded the aircraft and flew towards the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s location.
On the ne, the members of the exploration team maintained their excitability from before, but their target was no longer the secret realm, instead it was the neer, Bai Qi.
¡°Little Brother Bai Qi, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want your Big Sister to introduce you to some?¡±
The seductive Lisha sat next to Bai Qi, her face filled with flirtatious intent, she leaned in towards Bai Qi. Before Bai Qi could distance himself, a ruffian-looking youth pushed Lisha to the side.
Bai Qi, your fight yesterday was really exciting! Fancy a spar with me?¡±
¡°Ma Ge, are you asking for it?¡±
The fallen Lisha¡¯s forehead veins bulged as she kicked Ma Ge, sending him flying. The two fell into a tussle in the cabin.
¡°Um, Feng Ye, aren¡¯t you going to stop them?¡±
Looking at Lisha and Ma Ge who were blissfully unaware of their airborne battle, Bai Qi just shook his head.
¡°No worries, they¡¯ll be fine once their fight is over.¡±
Feng Ye brushed it off nonchntly, skillfully dodging the shoe that Lisha had thrown at him, clearly ustomed to such chaotic scenes.
¡°Bai Qi, do you want some cake? This cake is delicious.¡±
During Bai Qi¡¯s confusion, Mi Ling, the only rtively calm person in the group, suddenly offered a piece of cake to Bai Qi.
Finding sanity atst.
Gazing at Ml Ling, who was quietly enjoying her cake, Bai Qi heaved a silent sigh of relief. Just as he was about to take the cake from her, Ma Ge suddenly flew in their direction,nding perfectly on Mi Ling¡¯s cake.
Seeing her cake ruined, Mi Ling stared nkly for a while before uttering in a low, distinct voice, ¡°You, you ruined my cake!¡±
Erm, Mi Ling, calm down. Can I buy you a new one? How about ten?¡¡±
¡°Cough cough, sweet Ling, we¡¯re in mid-air, be sure not to lose your cool okay?¡±
Upon seeingMi Ling¡¯s reaction, Ma Ge and Lisha¡¯s faces paled, dropping their fight to cate Mi Ling, while Feng Ye immediately started looking for parachuting equipment.
Seems like Mi Ling is also a ticking time bomb?
Bai Qi, with a twitch in his eye, found himself missing his friends like Wang Huai. 5
At least, they were much more normal.
¡°Um, do you want to try this?¡±
Seeing Ml Ling on the verge of losing her cool, Bai Qi cautiously extended an Angel Fruit towards her. After sniffing it, Mi Ling immediately took the fruit from Bai Qi¡¯s hand and started eating it blissfully.
¡°Phew, I thought I had to skydive.¡±
Seeing Mi Ling return to her serene state, Feng Ye heaved a sigh of relief, and Ma Ge and Lisha ceased to stir any disturbance, instead, sitting down quietly.
The entrance to Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s Secret Realm.
The two Night Owlsnded smoothly, Bai Qi and his team stepping out of the cabin one by one.
¡°Oh, Bai Qi, you¡¯re back again?¡±
The moment Bai Qi touched down, he heard a familiar voice. He turned towards the voice and saw it was Tangmiao, with Li Xusheng and others behind her.
¡°I¡¯m part of the exploration team, are you as well?¡±
Wang Huai nodded, ¡°We, the Special Attack Group, have always been in charge of this, but unexpectedly we ran into you again so soon.¡±
¡°Indeed, Bai Qi, you might as well stick around all the time. You missed out massively yesterday when the Captain treat us.¡±
With a face full of regret, Tangmiao¡¯s words left Bai Qi chuckling. Suddenly, Lisha walked up to Tangmiao, and scrutinized her before jesting, ¡°So that¡¯s why Bai Qi lost interest in Sister Li, he¡¯s into this type.¡±
Dark lines appeared across Bai Qi¡¯s forehead as he responded, ¡°Sister Li, that¡¯s not a good joke.¡±
Lisha shrugged and said nothing more, but Tangmiao was not the type to hold back and immediately shot back, ¡°Can¡¯t help it, who can resist my young and beautiful charm, right Bai Qi?¡±
¡°Cough cough¡ well, I have something to deal with, I need to go now.¡±
Finding himself in the middle of the crossfire, Bai Qi hurriedly beat a hasty retreat.
This is the Beast Master World, aren¡¯t all Beast Masters supposed to be focused on their beasts without care for look? How did he end up in this kind of drama?! ¡°Seems like this exploration won¡¯t be boring.¡±
Watching Tangmiao and Lisha sh, Wang Huai let out a helpless sigh as the men kept a safe distance from them.
When two tigers fight, one gets hurt; when two female tigers fight, someone gets wrongfully med!
Subtitle: Don¡¯t stay long in this area!
¡°By the way, Wang Huai, did the Thirteenth Bureau only send your team?¡±
Wang Huai shook his head, ¡°No, another team hasn¡¯t arrived yet, but they should be here soon.¡±
Just as he finished speaking, five mecha of different colors descended from the sky,nding in front of them.
A handsome young man descended from the red mecha, facing the eyes of everyone present he stated apologetically, ¡°My apologies for beingte, did we miss anything?¡±
¡°No, everyone is here, let¡¯s head out.¡±
Wang Huai shook his head and was about to lead the team into the secret realm, when the young man suddenly approached Bai Qi, extending his right hand, I ve heard about you from Lao San. Didn¡¯ t expect to meet you today.¡±
Lao San?
He did not know anyone young with the surname Zhang, did he?
But this guy seems somewhat familiar.
¡°Allow me to introduce myself, Xia Yan, Captain of the Special Attack Group
Two, and also Xia Xuan¡¯s elder brother.¡±
Xia Xuan?
Elder Brother?
Did he defeat Lao San, and now Lao San¡¯s elder brother is here to reim the lost honor?!

Trantor: 549690339
Looking at Xia Yan, who was simr to Xia Xuan but clearly more stable, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile, grasped Xia Yan¡¯s hand, and asked, ¡°The ¡®Lao San1 you mentioned, is it Xia Xuan?¡±
Xia Yan chuckled and replied, ¡°Yes, Lao San has always been spoiled. If he ever caused any trouble for you, I apologize for him.¡±
¡°Not troublesome at all, I actually find him quite likable.¡±
Giving away materials for free, how could he not be?
¡°That¡¯s good. I was worried that Lao San¡¯s temperament would make him cause unnecessary strife outside.¡±
Xia Yan nodded, looked at the exploration team of the association behind Bai Qi, and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, are you also here to explore the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm? That¡¯s convenient; we can have a good chat. I am also considered half a Beast Master in the Mechanical Engineering Department, we can exchange some insights.¡±
¡°Uh, I¡¯m just a freshman, probably nothing good to talk about. Let¡¯s just concentrate on exploring the secret realm.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s refusal, Xia Yan didn¡¯t mind. He returned to his team and said to Wang Huai, ¡°Captain Wang, shall we set off now?¡±
Wang Huai nodded and then opened the entrance.
Since the training ground had already been hacked by Luo Xiang, they were directly teleported to the next entrance this time.
Compared to the monotonous bronze doors outside, this door seemed a bit more intricate. Both in terms of size andplexity, it far exceeded the others.
Wang Huai stood at the entrance and solemnly announced, ¡°Earlier, Thirteenth Bureau sent equipment to explore this area. The danger lies far beyond this point, so everyone, please be careful.¡±
Everyone nodded and summoned their own beast pets.
The line-up of Wang Huai and others remained the same, but Xia Yan and the others were uniformly equipped with the same type of mechanical life ¨C the Broken Army.
[Name]: Broken Army
[Nature]: Mechanical Engineering Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-Level Lord
[Introduction]: Battlefield mechanical life, one of the wolf killers; itsprehensive ability is very strong.
Although he knew military members generally had uniformly assigned beast pets, why would Thirteenth Bureau do the same? The only difference were the five different colors.
Luckily, the normal formation of Thirteenth Bureau Special Assault Team was five members. Otherwise, Bai Qi would have doubted that they might pull out a seven-brothers gourd.
After Thirteenth Bureau summoned their beast pets, the association didn¡¯t want to fall behind. Several beast pets of different sizes and shapes suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Lisha summoned a grey Moon Shadow Cat. Ma Ge summoned a zing Pangolin that was covered with mes. As for Mi Ling, she summoned a Red- Backed Sheep.
[Name]: Moon Shadow Cat
[Nature]: Space Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: Active in the moonlit night. It has an excellent sense of perception, and will disappear swiftly once other creatures approach, making it extremely difficult to capture.
[Name]: zing Pangolin
[Nature]: Fire Attribute, Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: Wound all over its body with mes, it loves to live near volcanoes and has a very hot temper.
[Name]: Red-Backed Sheep
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Introduction]: Famous for the red hair on its back. It is the breeding choice of many clothingpanies.
Looking at the three pets, Bai Qi had a strange look in his eyes.
Lisha and Ma Ge were Beast Masters of the Lord Creatures, but they both were so afraid of Mi Ling, who had only a nearly powerless Red-Backed Sheep. Could it be that this Red-Backed Sheep mastered some powerful skill beyond its quality of bloodline?
Bai Qi didn¡¯t know what to make of it hardly. He also summoned Alpha, whose handsome appearance immediately attracted attention.
¡°Bai Qi, your Wilting Dragon Lord has changed again; it looks so cool!!!¡±
Seeing the now cool-looking Alpha, Tang Miao¡¯s eyes instantly turned into heart shapes. She instinctively wanted to rush over, but was pulled back by Wang Huai.
¡°Tang Miao, we¡¯re on a mission now. Be serious.¡±
Wang Huai appeared stern, making Tang Miao feel guilty and she had to obediently retreat.
It¡¯s so tense, is the next area very dangerous?
Seeing this, Bai Qi also turned cautious, ready to summon Gamma as a shield.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Wang Huai activated the key to open the door and walked in. Bai Qj and others followed closely behind.
The world spun around him. Bai Qi only felt a change in the air, a strong smell of decay abruptly assaulted his nose, and he immediately summoned Gamma, molding it into a mask that he wore on his face.
In contrast, others seemed to be well-prepared. The moment the Thirteenth Bureau detected abnormality in the air, they activated their masks, providingplete protection for their heads. Feng Ye and the others also brought out their protective gear to shield themselves.
Ever since he had passed mechanical rted matters onto Schuck, they had grown negligent.
Right, when they returned, he would have Schuck reflect on it properly. They didn¡¯t even think to prepare potential necessary tools for the Beast Master in advance.
Awoo?
(It seemed that someone was saying bad things about the dog, but maybe it was just his imagination?)
Just as Beta, who was trying hard to ¡°meditate,¡± suddenly opened his drowsy eyes to look around and noticed Schuck still testing his abilities, he fell asleep again.
(Hard work, strive, snore¡)
¡°Bai Qi, what are you doing usingyour pet on your face like that?¡±
Watching Bai Qi use his pet as a protective gear, Feng Ye couldn¡¯t help butugh, while Wang Huai and the others quickly understood what was going on.
In terms of resistance to poisonous gas, their protective gear might not be as effective as Bai Qi¡¯s Gamma.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter; the effect is the same anyway.¡±
Bai Qi tried to breathe a few times, found nothing unusual, and even sensed that the air was fresher than outside, so he didn¡¯t care.
¡°The exploration equipment that was sent earlier had been destroyed as soon as it entered, and we didn¡¯t see any creatures doing it. So, everyone has to be careful from here on.¡±
Wang Huai scanned the surrounding environment, turned to Xia Yan, and asked, ¡°Xia Yan, have you discovered anything?¡±
Xia Yan patted the Broken Army next to him. After careful sensing, he said, ¡°My energy detector did not find any energy fluctuations around us other than our own, so there should be no life presence. However, there might be traps or simr mechanisms around here.¡±
Wang Huai nodded, he was about to move forward when Lisha suddenly said, ¡°There¡¯s indeed no life around, but it seems like there are a lot of other things moving towards us.¡±
Hearing Lisha¡¯s words, the Beast Masters from the association, like Feng Ye, immediately went into high alert, their expressions serious, obviously trusting Lisha¡¯s judgmentpletely. The members of the Thirteenth Bureau also quickly adopted a defensive stance.
In the next moment, countless peculiar stone weapons quickly appeared around them, spurring a considerable amount of pressure despite theirck of energy pulses.
¡°Equipment Creatures? There are so many here?¡±
Feng Ye couldn¡¯t help but exim in amazement. Some weapons or artifacts that had been passed down from ancient times could produce spirits and be pets, but this probability was really low, so Equipment Creatures were extremely rare. He did not expect to see so many here.
¡°Not Equipment Pets, more like puppets, simr to the terracotta soldiers at the training ground.¡±
Wang Huai looked at the weapons that were gradually getting closer andmented, ¡°Looking at this situation, this ce seems to be the weapons repository of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm. If there are no surprises, there should be a guardian controlling these weapons from behind. Everybody, quickly eliminate them.¡±
With Wang Huai¡¯smand, Li Xusheng immediately attacked, swinging his dual hammer and leading the others. Tang Miao and the others cooperated with him from the sidelines, they quickly cleared a path among the endless sea of ancient weapons.
On the other hand, Xia Yan¡¯s side was far more orderly¡ªfive Destroying Armies in tandem raised their shoulder-mounted cannons, indiscriminately bombarding the weaponry before them.
¡°This is the scene I¡¯ve been waiting for. Tear them apart!¡±
Watching as the Thirteenth Bureau began clearing the debris, Ma Ge, who had been itching for action, let out a roaringugh. He turned to Feng Ye, ¡°Ye, let¡¯s go!¡±
Feng Ye nodded, and had the Earth Elemental prepared for the attack. Then, Ma Ge¡¯s zing Pangolin rolled into a ball of me and sped towards the Earth Elemental.
¡°Off you go!¡±
Just as the zing Pangolin was about to collide with the Earth Elemental, thetter threw out a punch. The zing Pangolin picked up even greater speed, hurtling towards the ancient weapons and instantly smashing any of them it confronted, leaving only tracks of burning mes behind.
Then in the next moment, as the zing Pangolin was about to rush out of the ancient weapons, Lisha¡¯s Moon Shadow Cat teleported in front of it, emitting a soft cry. A spatial portal materialized before the zing Pangolin. After it rolled in, another portal appeared, and the zing Pangolin emerged once again, its speed even faster than before.
¡°Although the two of them squabbled before, their pets demonstrated great synergy.¡±
Watching the seamless coordination of the Moon Shadow Cat and zing Pangolin as theyid waste to the ancient weapons, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.
¡°You¡¯ll get used to it. Many in our archaeology teams are like this.¡±
Unfazed by the sight, Feng Ye casually pointed towards the side and said, ¡°But if you really want aparison, you should look at Sister Mi Ling.¡±
Bai Qi perked up his eyebrows and followed the direction Feng Ye pointed. He saw that Mi Ling¡¯s Red-Backed Sheep was calmly strolling among the ancient weapons while its thick fur entangled any weapons that attempted to attack it.
Well, this is quite a leisurely way to fight.
Bai Qi nced at Mi Ling who was still calmly eating cake and couldn¡¯t help but smile.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s begin work too.¡±
Gazing at the ancient weapons that continued to multiply in a hail of bombardment, Bai Qi promptly summoned the Husky.
They needed AOE¡ªhow could they overlook the Husky¡¯s Mechanical Lord?
¡°Alpha, Schuck, Beta, bombard them to your heart¡¯s content! Yes, consider this the firstpetition between you two!¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, the previously sleeping Beta immediately roused and Schuck paused its calctions. Both dogs stared at Alpha with bright eyes.
Alpha¡¯s Fire of Soul ignited vigorously. After a moment of eye contact, the two pets attacked at the same time, exerting an intense firepower that even suppressed a group of Four Stage Beast Masters.
Indeed, if you feel depressed, you must express it. Look at them; aren¡¯t they refreshed?

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Being able to cultivate two such low-ranking beings to the way they are now, this Bai Qi certainly has some tricks. Lao San didn¡¯t lose unjustly.¡±
Xia Yan nced at Alpha, who was wrapped all over with sword des, and who was cutting in and out of the ancient weapon pile like a cutter. He then cast a look at Husky who had directly transformed into a group of gun turrets sting frantically, a slight smile yed on his lips.
¡°Are you sure Bai Qi¡¯s talent is really only Breaking the Void?¡±
Upon hearing Xia Yan¡¯s inquiry, a man controlling the Blue Army immediately came forward, saying, ¡°Report to the captain, ording to our investigation, Bai Qi has only shown the Breaking the Void talent, it should be correct.¡±
¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡¡±
Xia Yan nodded and stopped speaking, then suddenly scrambled atop his red Broken Army. The Broken Army instantly flipped over and turned into a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex.
When Xia Yan made his move, the other four members of Special Attack Group Two also started operating their machines, their Broken Armies also transformed into beast forms.
The movements of the group immediately attracted Bai Qi¡¯s attention, but his expression turned peculiar.
Clearly, the Xia family had a real interest in dragons as they had all modified their Broken Armies into Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rexes. However, what was the story with the remaining four?
Triceratops, Pterosaur, Saber-toothed Tiger, Mammoth, plus Xia Yan¡¯s Tyrannosaurus and their respective colors, Bai Qi had every reason to suspect these five Mechanical Beasts would suddenlye together to assemble arge-scale robot.
¡°I hope I won¡¯t see the Great Beast God Meckzode here, too¡¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butment, and Wang Huai, who was beside him, couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled, asking, ¡°Bai Qi, what is this Great Beast God you¡¯re talking about?¡±
¡°Er, it¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just a type ofbinatoryrge-scalebat mecha.¡±
Bai Qiughed awkwardly, made up an excuse on the spot, but a look of admiration appeared on Wang Huai¡¯s face, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, you really live up to being a student of Star Mechanics Academy. You even figured out that Second group canbine to fight.¡±
Cough cough, it really can be assembled, huh.
The corner of Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly, and he asked, ¡°May I know its name?¡±
Wang Huai said, ¡°It seems to be called the Original Beast God, because these mechas were all reformed by Xia Yan using ancient creatures as a blueprint, so he chose this name.¡±
¡°Modification? Isn¡¯t the Broken Army a standard piece of military equipment? Can it be privately modified?¡±
Wang Huai shrugged and said, ¡°Normally, it can¡¯t be. However, Xia Yan is a researcher at the Thirteenth Bureau, so he has the authority.¡±
¡°Furthermore, the Xia¡¯s Group is one of thergest suppliers to the military, and no one would bother about such small matters.¡±
Bai Qi understood upon hearing this. It turned out it was a small request from a golden master father, no wonder.
Butthat said, Xia Yan¡¯s modifications were indeed not bad. It wasn¡¯t just a superficial change of form. It not only allowed the Beast Master to be protected within the Mechanical Beast, but also fully restored thebat capabilities of the Original Beasts.
Inparison, Xia Xuan¡¯s Mechanical Tyrannosaurus and Mechanical Sword Dragon Beast seemed somewhat superficial.
¡°Stop chatting, herees the big guy.¡±
As Bai Qi and Wang Huai were talking, a group of Bronze Beasts suddenly burst out from the uniform pile of ancient weapons. Their actions and defenses far exceeded those of the initial ancient weapons.
However, what they were most concerned about was the huge Bronze Wolf moving in the rear.
With the appearance of this Bronze Wolf, the state of the Bronze Beasts and ancient weapons all greatly improved. The Beast Masters of the Thirteenth Bureau and Association suddenly felt their pressure doubled, and their movements were clearly constrained.
¡°Take out the Bronze Wolf first.¡±
Wang Huai and Xia Yan exchanged a nce, upon which Xia Yan instantly understood, and issued instructions to the other members.
¡°Second group, Original Beast unites!¡±
Hearing Xia Yan¡¯smand, the Original Beasts that had already been closely guarding Xia Yan rapidly converged andpleted the assembly with practiced proficiency.
¡°Aren¡¯t you going to shout out ¡®I¡¯ll form the head¡¯?¡±
Looking at the giant Original Beast God that had almost instantaneouslye together, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips.
Thinking about it, it was quite baffling in an actual battle if viins would wait for your slow transformation. If it came to shouting out slogans before battling, he reasoned that probably the grass on their graves would grow taller than the people.
After assembly, the Original Beast God charged towards the Bronze Wolf. Wherever it passed, whether it was ancient weaponry or Bronze Beasts, they were directly smashed into fragments. In an instant, it arrived in front of the Bronze Wolf.
The Bronze Wolf seemed not to have reacted yet. And by the time the Original Beast God began to attack, it thought to retreat, but it was directly punched into the sky by abination punch from the Original Beast God. Before it couldnd, the Original Beast God flew up directly for another round of brutal beating.
¡°Power, speed, defense, outbreak. This is aplete disy of the specialties of the five Original Beasts.¡±
Watching the Original Beast God constantly flying up and down and brutally bullying the Bronze Wolf, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but inwardly admire.
Separately modifying five Mechanical Lifeforms with different developmental directions, and thenbining them to form arge-scale Mechanical Lifeform, this kind of freelybinable and matchable ability was one of the advantages of Mechanical Engineering Department.
But if put that way, doesn¡¯t the Evolution Egg seem to be the same too?
Shoot the shit!
Aoooo!
(Human, I feel something else ising.)
At that moment, Beta suddenly sent a warning.
¡°More thingsing?¡±
Bai Qi paused, then realized that the Primitive Beast God had somehow gotten deep into the Bronze Beast horde. The Bronze Beasts showed no intention of helping the Bronze Colossus Wolf, but rather kept getting between the Primitive Beast God and people like Bai Qi.
¡°Damn, these guys know how to lure the enemy deep?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butin, just as he was about to remind Xia Yan when the Primitive Beast God, as if sensing it ahead of time, changed the Triceratops spike into a spiked giant fist and mmed it into the ground. A Bronze Beast had just dug out of the ground when it was directly hit by the Primitive Beast God¡¯s fist.
Was it, already prepared for this?
¡°Xia Yan and I joined the military at the same time, almost ten years now, so never treat him as an average rich young master from a consortium,¡±
Looking at Bai Qi¡¯s surprised expression, Wang Huai exined with a smile, ¡°Now we have sessfully lured the wolf out of its hole, it¡¯s time for us to make a move.¡±
At the sound of his voice, Li Xusheng suddenly smashed his double hammers into the ground, red thunder directly destroying dozens of metres of ancient weaponry around. He quickly charged at the Primitive Beast God, while Tang Miao and the Baili brothers moved quickly to coordinate with Li Xusheng.
Bark bark!
(Humans, more than one!)
Just as Bai Qi and the others were about to advance to assist, another figure descended from the sky, directly knocking the Primitive Beast God to the ground, it was a Bronze Giant Ape.
Not only that, but the Bronze Beast which was supposed to have been knocked down by the Primitive Beast God¡¯s punch also revealed its true form, a Giant Crocodile, and directly ignored the Primitive Beast God¡¯s spiked punch, tenaciously biting the arm of the Primitive Beast God.
In an instant, the Primitive Beast God which had just been running rampant was suppressed by two giant beasts.
¡°Three giant beasts?!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Alpha, go and assist immediately.¡± Now that the Primitive Beast God and the Bronze Giant Beast were entangled, everyone¡¯s long-range abilities were limited, Alpha, a closebat pet beast, seemed more reliable under such circumstances.
Growl growl.
(Received.)
Upon hearing this, Alpha immediately transformed into a residual shadow charging towards the Primitive Beast God, wild winds swirling around her like a hurricane, scattering all the Bronze Beasts that were in her way, even some of the weaker ancient weapons were directly shredded into fragments.
Just then, the Bronze Colossus Wolf, which was previously unable tond due to the attack of the Primitive Beast God, suddenly stretched its body. Its limbs spread out, and it opened two thin bat wings, gliding in the air in a circle, blocking Li Xusheng and Alpha¡¯s path.
Holy crap, a flying wolf?!
Looking at the Bronze Colossus Wolf suddenly blocking his path, a sh of red light shed in Li Xusheng¡¯s eyes, and he was obviously nning to forcefully break through with his secondary talent.
Howl¡
At this point, a prolonged wolf howl came from behind them, then they saw a giant silvery-gray figure leaping over their heads directly knocking the Bronze Colossus Wolf to the ground.
¡°A Double-headed Wolf, could it be¡¡±
Looking at the sudden appearance of a Double-headed Wolf fighting the Bronze Colossus Wolf, Li Xusheng¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned around. Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s nonchnt expression and the vanished Husky, he realized.
This guy, he¡¯s really hard to figure out.
¡°Bai Qi, you mechanics can also y this way?¡±
Looking at Husky, which had increased in volume by who knows how many multiples, Feng Ye was full of surprise.
Among all the beast categories, apart from a few special cases, only the Elemental System could temporarily erge its body. The Mechanical Engineering Department could do it too, but mostly it required prior instation or assembling like the Primitive Beast God.
Something like Husky, which simply inted like a balloon, he was really seeing it for the first time.
¡°Never thought your secondary beast would also be so powerful, Bai Qi. I like you more and more.¡±
¡°Ha-ha, this ability is really lit, just like my zing Pangolin!¡±
¡°Awooo¡¡±
Listening to the discussion around him, Bai Qi gave a faint smile, though his heart was filled with confusion.
Can he say that he really doesn¡¯t know what this thing is?
Using the gigantic body of the Mechanical Lord for meleebat?
Does it have to be this cool?!
¡°Schuck, is this the research result of the past few days?¡±
¡°Sort of, I just designed a simple model.¡±
Schuck responded simply to Bai Qi, then immediately bit the Bronze Colossus Wolf¡¯s neck, while Beta seemed to have unleashed the wild instincts within its body, continually tearing at the body of the Bronze Colossus Wolf.
Both being metallic wolves, the Double-headed Wolf, which had independent minds, was naturally at an advantage.
Mechanical Lord, Double-headed Battle Wolf mode!
Seeing Husky effortlessly suppressing the Bronze Colossus Wolf, Bai Qi suddenly felt a sense of relief.
The secondary pet that used to just wreck the house had learned to improve itself, showing such independence andck of reliance on the Beast Master. Indeed, this Beast Master has trained well.
Yes, indeed, I am impressed by myself!
Chapter 177 - 176: Do You Believe in Light?
Chapter 177: Chapter 176: Do You Believe in Light?
Trantor: 549690339 |
Seeing the Bronze Giant Wolf being handled by Husky, a flicker ran through the Fire of Soul within Alpha¡¯s eyes. A sudden gale stirred beneath Alpha, carrying it straight towards the Bronze Giant Monkey, which was furiously beating on the Original Beast.
Not only that, the Withering Sword and Gravity Sword flew ahead under Alpha¡¯s control, with countless icy sword des swirling around it. From afar, it looked as if countless flying swords wereunching an attack on the Bronze Giant Monkey from the heavens.
¡°Holy crap, ten thousand swords returning to the origin?!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi was taken aback. Following Husky, was Alpha now also creating its own moves?
These days, have pets be this bizarre?
Wherever the twin swords passed, the body of the Bronze Giant Monkey rotted, or was pockmarked, couldn¡¯t heal in time, then was covered by countless ice des, in an instant, the Bronze Giant Monkey was full of wounds, the Original Beast God took advantage to break free from the Bronze Giant Monkey¡¯s suppression and began to fight back against the Bronze Giant Crocodile.
¡°An undead creature with multiple attributes? A mimicry metal wolf?¡±
Xia Yan, trying to wrestle free from the bite of the Giant Crocodile, was observing Bai Qi¡¯s two pets revealing a gleam in his eyes.
¡°Have someone investigate Bai Qi again, I want to know if he is unusually talented or if there¡¯s something I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Yes, Captain!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s pets each dealing with two giant beasts, the Beast Masters of the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association were surprised, but after a brief hesitation, they also joined the battle.
Although the Twin Pets¡¯ attack was sharp, but these bronze beasts were fearless, especially after the three giant beasts were attacked, all other Bronze Beasts turned and began to attack Alpha and Husky.
However, before anyone had a chance to help, Husky made a move.
The two-headed battle wolf subtly shook its body, and countless silver-gray fluid flew out immediately, forming a metal wolf when it hit the ground.
These metal wolves were silver-gray, simr in appearance to the Arctic Ice Wolf, they directly killed into the Bronze Beast group afternding, after closely biting a Bronze Beast, their bodies suddenly shed with a red and blue spark arc, then instantly exploded.
Watching the wolves recklessly rushing into the Bronze Beast group and self- destructing, Li Xusheng and others immediately kept some distance, Feng Ye¡¯s group even changed their direction to clear out other Bronze Beasts.
¡°Schuck, don¡¯t tell me you researched this too?¡±
¡°To be precise, I came up with the idea of the splitting wolf pack, but Beta thought of the explosion, it also controls the timing of the explosion.¡±
It really was like that.
Bai Qi sighed, patting his forehead. He thought that Schuck had been behaving recently, but it turns out he was holding back for this moment.
But it¡¯s quite good, he hase up with a tactic.
The Thunderme Cannon Tower washing the ground from a distance, the self-exploding wolf pack sweeping the middle, the two-headed battle wolf fighting at close quarters, Schuck seemed to have mastered the tactics.
Feng Ye looked at Alpha and Husky, who were clearly third-order creatures but performed more impressively than the fourth-order creatures, and felt mixed feelings. He patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, do you have any slightly normal pets?¡±
Bai Qi tilted his head to think, then patted Gamma, saying, ¡°Normal? Does Gamma count?¡±
Feng Ye looked at Gamma, who was still ying the role of a gas mask, with suspicion in his eyes.
He felt that this slime creature also wasn¡¯t normal¡
With Alpha, Husky and the Original Beast God entangling the three giant beasts, the other Beast Masters on both sides could finally go all out in their attacks, and the number of Bronze Beasts on the field visibly began to reduce. Roar!!!
Finally, apanied by an angry roar, the Bronze Giant Wolf waspletely torn apart by Husky, while the Bronze Giant Monkey was chopped into pieces under Alpha¡¯s ten thousand swords.
As for the thick-skinned Bronze Giant Crocodile, it was directly smashed into a pancake by the Original Beast God.
¡°Thank you for just now, Bai Qi.¡±
Xia Yan emerged from the Original Beast God, pounded his chest with one hand to salute Bai Qi in gratitude.
¡°It was no trouble at all, there¡¯s no need for this.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head, then walked past Xia Yan to inspect the Bronze Giant Beasts.
Just like the General Terracotta, simr rune structures could be found on these Bronze Beasts. However,pared to the explicit structure of the General Terracotta, the runes on these Bronze Beasts were more reserved, mostly distributed beneath the surface.
¡°Worried about the damage to the rune structure, so they were embedded inside the body.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, then became frustrated again.
He didn¡¯t find the energy system inside these Bronze Beasts.
¡°Did theye up with remote power and control technology in ancient times?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in irritation, he just couldn¡¯t figure out how these Bronze Beasts were able to move.
Seeing Bai Qi like this, Xia Yan came over and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you seem very interested in these Bronze Beasts?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Not bad, I¡¯m just a bit curious about the creations of ancient people.¡±
¡°As a Meeh Warrior Master, that¡¯s normal.¡±
Xia Yan smiled, looked at Husky, who was slowly returning to its original form, and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re using Mimicry Metal, aren¡¯t you? Being able to freely switch battle states like this, it seems that my Original Beast God has significant room for improvement.¡±
¡°Um, coincidence, it¡¯s just a coincidence,¡± Bai Qi coughed twice. Should he tell thisd, that these things were actually researched by Schuck and Beta?
Forget it, otherwise, it would really be ¡®people not as good as dogs,¡¯ ah no, it would be ¡®people not as good as wolves.¡¯
¡°Going by the situation, there shouldn¡¯t be any ancient weapons and Bronze Beasts for the time being, let¡¯s take a rest and then continue forward.¡±
Wang Huai joined the others, equipping them all with the Vitality Aura to replenish their stamina.
After the recent battle, all of the pets consumed a considerable amount of energy, especially Alpha and Husky who fought above their ss.
¡°Damn, that¡¯s it? I was just getting started.¡±
Feng Ye sighed with regret upon hearing the news. Even with so many enemies around, his Earth Elemental didn¡¯t trigger the ten-ton effect even once, which was truly disappointing.
This guy really has a knack for getting beaten up¡
Bai Qi rolled his eyes at Feng Ye¡¯s im and leaned against Husky to rest.
Awooo¡
(Schuck, next time can you scale down a bit? I feelpletely drained.)
Schuck: ¡°Feedbackepted.¡±
Despite its great performance in battle, the energy required to control such arge body and simultaneously split into a wolf pack for bombardment left Husky¡¯s energy reserves virtually depleted.
As for Alpha, though a considerable amount of energy was consumed, it has just enough to put up another fight.
¡± If only we knew the Bronz Beast¡¯s energy storage method, then we won¡¯t have to worry about running out of energy.¡±
Bai Qi, with regret in his eyes, nced at the scattered remains of the Bronze Beasts on the ground. As he was about to take some back for research, he felt a violent trembling beneath his feet.
Everyone got into a defensive stance, and soon they saw the earth slowly cracking open in the distance, giving birth to a giant stone man emerging from the ground.
As it emerged, all of the pets and humans alike felt a pressure unlike anything they¡¯d encountered before.
¡°This feels like¡ a Legendary creature!¡±
Sensing an aura from the stone man not inferior to that of other Legendary creatures such as the Jiuyou Darkbird, Bai Qi quickly identified the nature of their adversary.
¡°Damn it, we¡¯re only on the second level, howe there¡¯s a Legendary creature acting as the guardian?!¡±
Feng Ye looks sullen, he was so lucky to be allowed to have some fun with Master Chun, only to run into a Legendary Guardian. Did his luck have to be this good?!
¡°All because of your bad omen!¡±
Xia Yan and Wang Huai, among others, felt the same way, while Lisha was already busy conjuring a space tunnel.
¡°Intruders detected, die!¡±
The stone man finally straightened up, looking down at Bai Qi and the others like ants. It lifted its foot to stomp on them, but Lisha¡¯s space tunnel hadn¡¯t fully formed yet.
Under the oppression of the legendary creature, the Moon Shadow Cat was unable to use its space abilities. They normally ripped open space tunnels as easily as eating, but now they couldn¡¯t even tear open a small hole.
¡°Everyone, run!¡±
Upon Wang Huai¡¯s shout, everyone mounted their pets and evaded swiftly. They had no intention of battling the stone man.
Legendary creatures, they wouldn¡¯t be able to smash through their outer shell even if it stood still letting them attack, let alone how it was tough and hard to crack.
However, before they could get far, they felt an abrupt sharp increase in gravity that slowed their movements.
¡°A gravity field? I now understand why Instructor Leng loves leading us through the gravity channel.¡±
Feeling the familiar pressure, Bai Qi hesitated slightly before starting to run again. Alpha quickly transformed into a giant sled, pulling Bai Qi and the rest onto it.
¡°Damn, howe your skeleton can even do this?!¡±
Feng Ye, while letting his Earth Elemental exert anti-gravity aura to counteract the stone man¡¯s gravitational field, couldn¡¯t help butin.
¡°Ye, stop yourints. Let your elemental engage in small talk with that big guy. Maybe he¡¯ll let us pass.¡±
Lisha hit Feng Ye hard and said, ¡°Earth Elemental is made of stones, and so is that thing. They must have amonnguage, right?¡±
Feng Ye rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Sister Li, if I couldmunicate with it, would I still be beaten by Master Chun every day? That creature is a Mountain Giant.¡±
[Name]: Mountain Giant
[Nature]: Elemental System
[Bloodline Level]: Emperor-level
[Description]: An elemental creature that has survived for countless years. It appears no different from a mountain when sleeping, but upon awakening, it bes a terrifying existence.
¡°Hold off on the lecture for now. We need to figure out what to do!¡±
Ma Ge looked at the Mountain Giant getting closer and closer to them with a bitter face.
While Bai Qi¡¯s sled operation tookhim by surprise, the surrounding gravity was clearly intensifying. Even if Alpha could bear it, they couldn¡¯t.
¡°Bai Qi, do you have any ideas?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head. This creature wasn¡¯t like Nichs; it wasn¡¯t the type that could be fooled with a few words.
If he could manipte a legendary creature guarding the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, he wouldn¡¯t need to be a Beast Master. He could be a pet psychologist instead, a surefire professional at manipting pets.
Unless there was a miraculous rescue, they were likely to be doomed.
I wonder if it¡¯s still not toote to believe in the light now?
Chapter 178 - 177: Mechanical Titled Legendary -

Starlight
Trantor: 549690339
As Bai Qi was racking his brain for a way to escape, a giant portal suddenly appeared in the void above their heads. A brilliant beam of light shot out from the portal. Through the intense light, they could faintly make out a humanoid figure.
This phenomenon instantly attracted the mountain giant¡¯s attention. Bai Qi asked Alpha to stop and stared nkly at the sky.
Shit, a light giant!
Is the power of faith really so strong that it can summon one out!
Very soon, the light giant in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes emerged from the portal. The intense light around it disappeared, revealing a gigantic humanoid mechanical creature.
This mechanical creature was made entirely of ck metal, with a long spear made from the same material on its back. From time to time, there were twinkling stars on its colossal body.
Upon closer inspection, Bai Qi found that this humanoid mechanical creature was in no way inferior to the mountain giant. Whenpared to Xia Van¡¯s Original Beast God, they were as different as a child and an adult.
¡°Starlight, a mysteriousrge ck mechanic, could it be¡?¡±
As he looked at the gigantic mechanical creature standing in front of him, Bai Qi murmured to himself and quickly figured out its origin.
The idol of all mechanics, one of the mightiest in the Federation, the Titled Legendary of the Mechanical Engineering Department, ¡°Starlight,¡± ¨C Wang Chen.
This enormous humanoid mechanical creature was none other than the strategic-level mechanical creation, Morning Star, named after Wang Chen¡¯s title.
It was said that this Morning Star was entirely made from special materials found in meteorites. Its attributes were all top-tier. Its power ranked among the top three throughout the Federation.
However, why was this Titled Legendary, Starlight, suddenly appearing in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm? Was it due to knowing that they were in danger, or did some event ur within the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm?
As Bai Qi was wildly guessing, Starlight had already begun battling the mountain giant.
They were merely caught in the crosswind of a punch, Bai Qi and the others were blown away without power to resist, conveniently leaving the gravity field.
¡°What should we do now?¡±
Watching the sh of Starlight and the mountain giant not far away, Wang Huai and the others exchanged nces.
¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like we have much of a choice, does it?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged. Their path to the entrance was blocked by Starlight and the mountain giant. If they dared to venture there, their small bodies wouldn¡¯t withstand a single step from the giant.
Otherwise, he would have really liked to rumble with these two legendary pet beasts and directly fill up the progress of the Silver Egg.
As for staying here, well¡
To put it bluntly, their staying here would essentially be a sacrifice.
¡°Let¡¯s continue looking for another entrance then. The mountain giant has alreadye out. There can¡¯t possibly be two¡¡±
Halfway through FengYe¡¯s sentence, Ma Ge and Lisha hurriedly covered his mouth, and the members of the Thirteenth Bureau looked at Feng Ye with faces filled with trepidation.
This fellow¡¯s mouth is way more dangerous than core weaponry. He could even invite legendary creatures into existence.
They figured that if there were any conflicts with the Ferocious Beast Tribe in the future, they should promptly send this chatterbox over there to babble on. He should be able to annihte the tribe entirely.
With this thought, the members of the Thirteenth Bureau unanimously nodded their heads.
Right, that¡¯s the n!
¡°First, let¡¯s find a way to cross this big pit. It seems like the range of the battles between those two is expanding.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the increasinglyrge area of destruction caused by Morning Star and the mountain giant, and quickly suggested.
¡°Sister Li, can you open your space channel?¡±
Lisha shook her head and said, ¡°It seems the Moon Shadow Cat was frightened and can¡¯t use its ability.¡±
XiaYan said, ¡°We¡¯ll handle this.¡±
The pink-robed warrior immediately understood, summoning his flying dinosaur, cing everyone on its back, and flying towards the big pit. Everyone else quickly put away their pet beasts as well.
While it was referred to as a big pit, this copse was more fitting to be described as a chasm since it was formed when the mountain giant rose.
Apart from the part where the mountain giant had disappeared, thend on both sides had also split open, extending into a long rift.
At the bottom of the chasm, one could faintly see the ck magma slowly flowing.
¡°ck magma?¡±
Bai Qi furrowed his brows at this sight. When the temperature of the magma reaches a certain level, it indeed turns into dark red, but this was his first time seeing ck magma.
Furthermore, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel that this magma bore some resemnce to Alpha¡¯s Withering Breath.
No, it was even purer.
Other people also noticed the peculiarity of the magma. However, their current task was not to study the magma but to find the entrance, so they only took a nce before losing interest.
Yet before they could cross the chasm, the ck magma in the rift suddenly started to boil violently. Bubbles kept popping, and some magma even sshed onto the talons of the dinosaur.
¡°Reporting Captain, the wings of the pterosaur have been corroded by an unknown substance and are ruined.¡±
The Pink Soldier reported their situation immediately, and before Xia Yan could respond, the pterosaur dropped as if it had lost control, heading straight towards the magma.
¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡±
Seeing this, everyone froze instantly. Feng Ye immediately summoned an Earth Elemental to reduce the pterosaur¡¯s weight, Alpha also used Gravity Amplification to help the Earth Elemental, and Lisha¡¯s Moon Shadow Cat finally released their skill, creating an extrarge tunnel underneath the pterosaur.
Just as everyone rxed, the ck magma below exploded instantly and the sky filled with magma charged towards everyone.
¡°Damnit!¡±
The magma came unexpectedly, the Moon Shadow Cat had no time to create another spatial tunnel for defense, and the Earth Elemental could only defend by splitting off a lump of rubble from itself. Yet, it only managed to defend for a moment before disappearingpletely.
What kind of hellish magma was this, why was it so terrifying!
Seeing the magma getting closer to them, Li Xusheng stood up right away, sliced open his own arm, and arge amount of blood gushed out, transforming into a wall of blood in front of everyone.
The ck magma was blocked by the blood wall, but the blood wall visibly turnedpletely ck, and the magma even seemed toe to life, spreading along the blood towards Li Xusheng.
Obviously, if Li Xusheng let this ck substance spread onto him, he would likely meet the same end as the rubble.
¡°Alpha, go help!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately sent Alpha to help. With a swing of the Withering Sword, it severed the connection between Li Xusheng and the blood wall, and at the same time, the Withering Breath was released in an attempt to freeze the magma.
If this magma was really simr to what Bai Qi had sensed, to the Withering Breath¡¯s attribute, theoretically, the Withering Breath should be able to block it for a while.
This time, the movement of the ck magma finally stopped, and Li Xusheng also fell to the ground, barely standing with Wang Huai¡¯s help.
Although his physique was not ordinary and he wouldn¡¯t die immediately after shedding all his blood, the premise was that the blood had to be taken back.
Now, all the blood was corroded by the ck material and melded into the magma, so it was obviously impossible to get it back.
Taking advantage of when Bai Qi was using Withering Breath to resist the ck magma, the Pink Soldier promptly made the pterosaur fall into the spatial tunnel created by Moon Shadow Cat.
As long as they went through the spatial tunnel, they could reach the other side and be safe.
Just then, the ck magma that was still confronting Withering Breath suddenly exploded, sshing towards Bai Qi. Alpha wanted to swing his sword in defense but suddenly slumped to the ground, incapable of doing anything but watching the ck magma hurl towards Bai Qi.
Crispness?
(What¡¯s this smell, something I haven¡¯t tasted before?)
Just at that moment, Gamma, who hadn¡¯t been of any help and was sleeping, woke up leisurely. Seeing the sky full of ck magma, he instinctively expanded his body to wrap Bai Qi.
The ck magma fell on Gamma, and Gamma¡¯s body instantly started giving off a hissing sound. His glossy body visibly shriveled up immediately.
Even more, Bai Qi felt the connection between him and Gamma was gradually fading.
This ck magma was robbing Gamma of his vitality!
Crackle Crackle!
(Boss, get out of here quick!)
Barely standing up, Alpha pushed Bai Qi into the spatial tunnel. Bai Qi instantly appeared on the other side of the crack, and he immediately withdrew Twin Pets into the pet space and used the Evolution Egg straight away.
Ever since he got the Evolution Egg, no matter what injuries Alpha sustained, just using the Evolution Egg once would heal himpletely.
So, Bai Qi thought of this solution for the abnormalities on their bodies at the first moment.
Just when the Silver Egg took shape, a trace of ck spread on the eggshell, covering more than half of it in a few seconds.
Simultaneously, the body of the Evolution Egg seemed to sense the threat, continuously vibrating, releasing dazzling silver light to wash over the ck color on the eggshell, and that ck color really did slow down its spread.
Seeing this, Bai Qi reacted immediately, gripping the Green Dragon Scale tightly and continuously stacking Silver Eggs on Twin Pets.
After they didn¡¯t know how many Silver Eggs were stacked, ck material no longer spread on the eggshell of Twin Pets and the body of Evolution Egg finally calmed down.
¡°Safe atst¡¡±
After confirming that the state of Twin Pets¡¯ Silver Eggs were stable, Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hey straight down on the ground, looking at the Green Dragon Scale in his hand that had dimmed quite a bit, feeling a profound sense of gratitude.
Nichs really had saved his life this time. If it weren¡¯t for the Green Dragon Scale, using the Evolution Egg recklessly like he just did would surely have been a deadly move.
When they get back, he¡¯d definitely have to express his gratitude properly.
¡°Bai Qi, are you alright?¡±
Feng Ye moved closer to Bai Qi with anxiety on his face, and asked in a suppressed tone, while Wang Huai summoned a Flower Fairy to help Bai Qi recover, but he looked extremely worried.
Even though they didn¡¯t know what the ck magma was, the Pterosaur lying beside, about to shut down, already illustrated how terrifyingly dreadful this ck substance was.
This substance seemed to even be able to kill energy!
Chapter 179 - 178: Blood of Death
Chapter 179: Chapter 178: Blood of Death
Trantor: 549690339 |
Upon noticing their worried expressions, Bai Qi let out a light chuckle, saying, ¡°I¡¯m fine, there¡¯s no need to worry.¡±
¡°What about your beast, Bai Qi?¡±
With a serious expression, Xia Yan asked in a deep voice.
The pink warrior had already removed the Al brain that contained the Pterosaur Meeh Spirit when he noticed that the Pterosaur was being corrupted by a dark power. Thus, strictly speaking, the pink warrior¡¯s losses were not significant.
However, it was different for Bai Qi. Neither Alpha nor Gamma could transfer their spirits as easily as a Mechanical Beast, and things looked bleak for them.
¡°Um, they should be fine too. The ck magma appears to lean toward the attribute of death, which conflicts with my green dragon scales. A little rest should help,¡± Bai Qi shrugged off their concern, shaking the green dragon scale on his chest.
Bai Qi deflected the question as Xia Yan tried to press further. Suddenly, Morning Star and the Mountain Giant, who had been fighting previously, fell silent and came to the crevice.
Morning Star put her hands together, instantly transforming them into a giant cannon. Starlight flickered around her as the celestial power rapidly gathered at the mouth of the cannon.
¡°Starlight Extinguisher!¡±
Apanied by a cold mechanical sound, a beam of light shot out, falling onto the crevice like a Milky Way, suppressing the ckva.
¡°So that¡¯s what you¡¯ve been doing, blocking these things?¡±
A gentle voice came from Morning Star. The Mountain Giant nodded ¡°Indeed I have been sleeping here for many years. It¡¯s always been calm. I don¡¯t know ¡¯ why these substances suddenly sprung up today. Plus, the sudden appearance of humans, that¡¯s why I treated them as enemies.¡±
Perhaps because Morning Star suppressed the ck magma, the Mountain Giant¡¯s attitude towards Morning Star and Bai Qi and others significantly improved. The previously suffocating oppressive aura disappeared, reced by a peaceful atmosphere.
¡°I apologize, we just wanted to explore the secrets of the Emperor¡¯s realm and unexpectedly stumbled upon this,¡± Wang Chen stepped out of Morning Star, looking somewhat apologetically at the Mountain Giant.
The Mountain Giant tilted his head, humming, ¡°The Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm? Isn t this the realm of the Champion Marquis under the Emperor¡¯s rule?¡± ¡°Champion Marquis?¡±
Wang Chen was taken aback and looked at the ancient weapons and bronze beasts scattered all over the ground. He couldn¡¯t help but facepalm and sigh.
¡°No wonder Bai Heguang was not interested in this ce. It turns out that this is not the Emperor¡¯s secret realm?¡±
¡°Speaking ill of people behind their backs is not a good quality.¡±
Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Wang Chen. A man stepped on a ck giant bird flew over from a distance and stopped next to Wang Chen. It was the Undead Department¡¯s Titled Legendary ¨C ¡°Celestial Brilliance¡± Bai Heguang.
¡°Damn, howe you always catch me?¡±
Wang Chen shrugged helplessly, ¡°Looking at you, the situation over there at
the guild is the same as here, right?¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, ¡°This secret realm seems to be designated for sealing these things. That¡¯s why it¡¯s so heavily fortified. It¡¯s not the Emperor¡¯s secret realm we spected.¡±
¡°Well, although we were busy for nothing.¡±
Wang Chen looked at the Mountain Giant in front of him, ¡°At least we found a creature that might know about the history of the Founding Emperor¡¯s era right?¡±
Bai Heguang was silent. Then he saw Bai Qi and others on the side and frowned. He flew towards Bai Qi on the Jiuyou Darkbird, while Wang Chen teleported and got to them first.
Two titled legends? Xiaoye, am I hallucinating because of a fever?¡±
Standing m front of one cold and one sunny titled legend, Lisha felt everything was too unreal and was somewhat unstable. She steadied herself by holding onto Feng Ye¡¯s shoulder.
¡°I don¡¯t know if you have a fever, but it shouldn¡¯t be a hallucination.¡±
Feng Ye rubbed his eyes, looking at the two supremely powerful individuals of the Federation in front of him and constructing in his mind how to greet them. However, Bai Heguang apparently did not want to waste time talking with everyone. He directly walked to Bai Qi, looked him up and down, and asked coldly, ¡°Did you juste into contact with that ck substance?¡±
¡°Um, yes, but my green dragon scales cleaned it off.¡±
Facing Bai Heguang¡¯s slightly scrutinizing gaze, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help feeling a
little flustered and brought up his previous excuse.
After all, in a way, he did rely on the green dragon scales to bear the consumption of the Evolution Egg. So it was not entirely a lie.
¡°Green dragon scales?¡±
Bai Heguang frowned slightly. He had naturally heard about Bai Qi meeting a legendary green dragon, so he was not surprised that Bai Qi had mythical resources like green dragon scales.
However, he believed that these things couldn¡¯t bepletely driven out just
by relying on green dragon scales.
¡°No need to worry so much. Isn¡¯t this kid hopping about lively?¡±
Seeing Bai Heguang¡¯s appearance, Wang Chen snapped his fingers. The Morning Star, which had been as big as Mountain Giant, suddenly shrank and fell by Wang Chen. Then she released a stream of celestial power that swept through Bai Qi¡¯s body.
¡°The Blood of Death is not detected. Other than his body being a little weak, everything else is normal.¡±
As soon as Morning Star said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then the people from the association seemed to think of something, and a strange expression appeared on their faces. If it weren¡¯t for the presence of two titled legends, they would undoubtedly have burst outughing.
They can¡¯t you keep their thoughts clean?
But this celestial power is amazing. It can even suppress the ck magma, no the Blood of Death.
If I could get some fragments of Morning Star, with the help of the Evolution
Egg, I might be able to obtain skills like the Light of Stars.
Too bad, it was just a wishful thought.
Despite no news of Morning Star¡¯s actions in recent years, as a student of mechanical martial arts, Bai Qi had some understanding of the legends of Morning Star.
Unless it was someone of Bai Heguang¡¯s level, no one else had a chance of hurting Morning Star, and even if they did, Bai Qi doubted that Wang Chen would just let anyone else step in.
Speaking of the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but wonder how Alpha and Gamma were doing.
Hopefully, they were safe and sound.
¡°We shouldn¡¯t linger here. I¡¯ll take the people from the association away first
You deal with the rest.¡±
Seeing that Bai Qi was fine, Bai Heguang once again returned to the Jiuyou
Darkbird. The Jiuyou Darkbird slightly pped its wings, and a gust of ck
wind swept up Bai Qi and hispanions.
¡°Alright.¡±
No sooner had Wang Chen finished speaking, than the Jiuyou Darkbird had already vanished from sight, leaving Wang Chen shaking his head in exasperation.
¡°This guy, it¡¯s been years and he¡¯s still so awkward.¡±
Wang Chenughed, and then looked at Wang Huai and the others, saying, ¡°You guys should go too, I still have some matters to discuss with the Mountain Giant.¡±
¡°Yes sir!¡±
Wang Huai and the others had no arguments with Wang Chen¡¯smand and, saluting him solemnly, they left for the exit.
Only after watching them leave, did Wang Chen turn his attention back to the Mountain Giant. He put his light smile away and said earnestly, ¡°Can you tell me more about this thing?¡±
At the association¡¯s base.
Bai Heguangnded slowly astride the Jiuyou Darkbird, while Bai Qi and the others, who had been whisked away by the Jiuyou Darkbird, looked for corners to vomit as soon as theynded.
Although they didn¡¯t dare to say it aloud, they had to admit that the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s flying skills were horrific, to the point of making so many people airsick simultaneously.
¡°Damn, Bai Legend, did you literally pass through the secret realm?¡± Looking at their disheveled appearances, Luo Xiang, who had been waiting nearby, couldn¡¯t help butugh.
¡°Do you have a problem with that?¡±
Bai Heguang gave Luo Xiang a sidelong nce and, after noticing Luo¡¯s innocent look, turned to Chun Yushui and said, ¡°Just as you reported, there are indeed remnants of dead bodies inside, but they¡¯ve lost their activity. As long as we don¡¯t open the secret realm, it won¡¯t pose a threat.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Heguang blurt out such confidential information in front of Bai Qi and others, even the usuallyid-back Chun Yushui felt somewhat helpless. Still, considering Bai Heguang¡¯s legendary status, he simply nodded and said, ¡°We¡¯ve started to seal off the other irrelevant entrances to the secret realm. No one else, except for us and the Thirteenth Bureau, can get in.¡± No more entries permitted?
He had been thinking of finding an opportunity to engage with Mountain Giant. He knew bymon sense that a gravity field could be beneficial to Alpha¡¯s gravity amplification ability.
If not for these advantages, at least he could have imed some credit.
And Morning Star¡ he¡¯d totally forgotten to im some credit earlier. What a loss!
While Bai Qi was regretting, Luo Xiang walked over to him and said, ¡°How does it feel to be involved in such arge-scale exploration of a secret realm?¡±
It s okay, just a bit short of a dinner party.¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes at Luo Xiang¡¯s gloating face and retorted, ¡°You went into the secret realm too, didn¡¯t you, Instructor Luo? Why did youe out first?¡± Luo Xiang shrugged and replied, ¡°No choice, I identally woke those things up and had toe out for reinforcements.¡±
Those things?
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eyes and said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that the Blood of Death was awakened by you?¡±
¡°Kind of.¡±
Bloody hell, so the real culprit turned out to be him! If it hadn¡¯t been for having the Evolution Egg, wouldn¡¯t Alpha and Gamma have been totally wasted?
Oh well, maybe not. The Celestial power of Morning Star could remove Blood of Death as well, but they were bound to be seriously injured.
This time was an ident, but don¡¯t worry, I¡¯llpensate you enough.¡± Patting Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, Luo Xiang said, ¡°You must be tired from this ordeal Go rest first. Once I finish up here, I¡¯ll take you back to the headquarters.¡± ¡°Back to headquarters?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback. He had initially thought they would be out for a long while. Were they returning so soon?
¡°What? Are you nning on sticking around at the Thirteenth Bureau?¡± As soon as Luo Xiang uttered those words, Bai Qi felt Bai Heguang¡¯s gaze fall on him. He immediately felt his body giving out shudders, and hastily said, ¡°I¡¯m tired. Give me a break. Bye.¡±
With that, Bai Qi immediately headed for his room.
Spreading rumors in front of a bunch of association Beast Masters and in front of Bai Heguang himself.
This guy was really stirring the pot. Bai Qi was concerned that if he stayed around Luo too long, he¡¯d end up getting sold out.
Chapter 180 - 179: Blessing in Disguise
Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Blessing in Disguise
Trantor: 549690339 |
Returning to his room, Bai Qi had immediately flopped onto the bed and his consciousness had plunged into the Beast Control Space.
Even though there seemed to be nothing wrong with the Evolution Egg, after seeing how Bai Heguang and Wang Chen, two Titled Legendary figures, had taken it so seriously, Bai Qi did not feelpletely at ease.
Crack.
At that moment, Alpha¡¯s Silver Egg suddenly broke open, and a strong aura of death instantly spread across the entire Beast Control Space.
Hum, hum, hum¡
The Evolution Egg appeared to sense the aura of death and began to vibrate intensely. The crystal walls of the Beast Control Space also emitted a silvery light, suppressing this aura of death entirely.
Creak, creak.
(Come back.)
Due to the suppression, Alpha seemed toe to his senses. The aura of death, as if following amand, swiftly returned to Alpha¡¯s body.
To be precise, it returned to the Withering Great Sword.
Seeing this, Bai Qi promptly summoned Alpha and checked him thoroughly. After confirming that something strange wasn¡¯t happening to Alpha, he let out a sigh of relief.
¡°Golden Finger is reliable. Otherwise, it would have been a big loss.¡±
Alpha had been with him since the beginning. If he had been damaged due to exploring a Secret Realm, it would have been as if he lost his wife and his army. ¡°Alpha, how do you feel?¡±
Creak, creak.
(I feel pretty good. I seem to have be stronger.)
On hearing this, Bai Qi was delighted. He immediately ced his hand on Alpha, and a massive amount of data flooded into his mind.
[Name]: Withering Dragon Lord (Alpha)
[Nature]: Ice n, Undead Department, Dragon Department
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Ninth Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Racial skills]: Withering Breath (Super Level ¨C Awakened), Dragon Might (High Level ¨C Master), Skeleton Maniption (High Level ¨C Perfect), Ice Crystal Barrier (High Level ¨C Perfect), st Crystal Spike (High Level ¨C Perfect), Shadow Lotus Skill (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), Gravity Amplification (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Wind Wound (High Level ¨C Novice), Sword de Storm (Super Level ¨C Novice)
[Energy Value]: 4,700,000
Withering Breath has awakened?
Bai Qi observed the change in Withering Breath immediately, filled with both delight and doubt.
So, it turned out that the Blood of Death was a type of material as well, and the Evolution Egg absorbed it. Also, the proficiency level of a super skill was maxed out, leading it to awaken?
With that thought, Bai Qi immediately took Alpha into the Secret Realm Base.
Right when Alpha entered the Secret Realm, Schuck the Husky, who was gradually improving the double-headed wolf and the self-exploding wolf squad tactic, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively looked towards the direction of the fighting room.
Uh¡
(I seemed to sense a dangerous aura.)
¡°The energy detector also detected some abnormal fluctuations. Considering the abnormal mental fluctuation from the Beast Master earlier, did something happen?¡±
Both heads exchanged nces and rushed towards the fighting room while abandoning their tasks. Upon seeing Alpha, Beta immediately took a step back instinctively.
No, to be exact, it looked at the Withering Sword behind Alpha.
Ah¡
(That sword makes me feel ufortable.)
Seeing Schuck rushing over on its own, Bai Qi immediately spoke, ¡°Schuck, Beta, you¡¯re here, perfect timing. Make a target for Alpha to test Alpha¡¯s awakening skill.¡±
¡°Awakening skill?¡±
Schuck and Beta exchanged nces, both seeing surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. But, they obediently followed the order and used Etherium Liquid Gold to form a metallic wolf.
¡°Alpha, give it a try.¡±
Alpha nodded, grabbed the Withering Sword in his hand, and cleanly cut the metallic wolf in half.
¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like any different from before.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi frowned, and just as he was about to instruct Alpha to release the Withering Breath directly, Schcuk unexpectedly reported, ¡°The vitality of the metal target is gone. It has been scrapped.¡±
Vitality gone?
Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. He immediately remembered the condition in which the Pterosaur had been eroded by the ck magma and losing vitality.
That said, the effect of Withering Breath is somewhat simr, making matter contacted with it rot faster. It really is somewhat rted to the Blood of Death.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately went over to the metallic target and carefully examined it.
Just as Schuck had said, even though the two pieces of the metallic target did not have any other injuries, the parts touched by the sword edge hadpletely ¡°died¡±, even the repair and expansion functions of Etherium Liquid Gold were gone.
In simple terms, this metallic target had already be a ¡°corpse¡±.
¡°Even though it hasn¡¯tpletely awakened, it already has the capability to snatch life. Rather than calling this Withering Breath, let¡¯s call it Death¡¯s Breath.¡±
Bai Qi was overjoyed. He had initially thought that Alpha was going to be damaged in some way, but who¡¯d have thought that it was a blessing in disguise and awakened a super skill directly.
By the way, what would a super skill turn into after it awakened?
Super 1, 2,3,4, 5?
Bai Qi¡¯s mind wandered for a while, then he turned his attention to Gamma.
Previously, because Gamma had defended him, almost his entire body was covered with the blood of death. He was also the most seriously injured. Bai Qi even noticed that his soul contract with Gamma was about to break.
He was too preupied before to pay attention. Now that he thought about it, when he put Gamma into the Evolution Egg, it took the most energy.
This time, he really relied on the energy of the green dragon scales. Otherwise, even if he survived, Gamma was likely gone.
For Beast Masters, the death of a contracted beast signified the total loss of a contract slot and also meant the loss of the qualification to be a legend.
However, looking at Alpha¡¯s situation, it seemed that Gamma¡¯s condition was now stable. He wondered if simr skills could be gained after that.
And maybe even evolution again?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation. If that really happened, his journey would be an absolute win.
Seeing him looking smug learning the new Withering Breath Skill, both Husky¡¯s consciousness couldn¡¯t help but grumble in dissatisfaction.
Oh?
(What does this mean? I was just about to surpass stinky bone, and stinky bone is now stronger. Human, are you really not going to do something about it?) ¡°Stop daydreaming and focus on your training.¡±
Woof Woof!
(Training? I understand now.)
With that, Beta wanted to go back to sleep but was awakened by Schuck.
¡°The Great Compassion Mantra given to you by the Beast Master seems to have the effect of strengthening your spirit power. I¡¯ vebined it with the Beast Master¡¯s meditative method. You better practice hard, otherwise¡¡±
Awooo!
(I was threatened by myself!!!)
Beta looked at Schuck in surprise, feeling again the failure of his main consciousness.
It was eptable to be disciplined by humans, but now that he had to be disciplined by his own secondary consciousness, he felt that he had truly failed as a wolf.
No, he had to think of a way to counterbnce Schuck. Otherwise, living as a wolf would be too depressed.
Thinking of this, Beta was suddenly filled with infinite fighting spirit and began to meditate as per Schuck¡¯s method.
While Schuck and Beta were striving hard, Gamma¡¯s eggshell finally cracked open.
Unfortunately, the evolution light Bai Qi was hoping for did not appear.
¡°Predictably, my heart is indeed too dark, I even thought of directly evolving Gamma to the Lord Level.¡±
Bai Qi snapped his mouth in a little regret but soon let it go.
Although it would be nice to evolve directly, he was more inclined to let Gamma evolve with a mythical material. At least he would be able to obtain a super skill. That was much more reliable than leveling up randomly now.
Ka-bang Ka-bang.
(Master, Gamma is very hungry¡)
As soon as Gamma left the Evolution Egg, a strong sense of hunger came over him. When Bai Qi summoned him, he fell to the ground like a melted object.
Such a glutton, the first thing it did after waking up was to think about eating.
Bai Qi sighed and asked Alpha to bring a few Angel Fruits to put on Gamma, Gamma immediately wrapped them up and absorbed them all in an instant. Ka-bang Ka-bang.
(Master, Gamma is still very hungry¡)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly. Five Angel Fruits, worth 250 million Federal coins, had just filled the gap between Gamma¡¯s teeth. If it was before, Bai Qi definitely couldn¡¯t take it.
¡°It looks like I will have to keep you at Nichs¡¯s ce for a long time.¡±
Bai Qi simply took all the Angel Fruit in his hand and piled them all on Gamma. Gamma readily swallowed them all and absorbed them joyfully.
Looking at the happy grin on Gamma¡¯s face, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but give Gamma a loving rub. He then began to check Gamma¡¯s status.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Attribute]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Level One
[Bloodline Level]: High-Grade Elite
[Race Skill]: Bloodsucking Aura (High-Level ¨C Proficient), Deadly Poison Aura (High-Level ¨C Proficient), Split (Mid-Level ¨C Proficient), Mimicry (Low-Level ¨C Perfect), Corrosion (Low-Level ¨C Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), Electric Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), Frozen Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), me Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), zing Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Experienced), Cutting Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Experienced), Shadow Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Experienced), Corrosion Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Experienced), Radiation Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Proficient), ???

[Energy Value]: 826000
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡°Yo, it has evolved directly into third stage? Its energy value is over 800,000, almost reaching the minimum value of a third-stage Lord.¡±
Seeing Gamma¡¯s excessively high energy value, Bai Qi could imagine that Gamma¡¯s energy value would be incredibly powerful after breaking through to the Lord Level.
Physical Mutations, they weren¡¯t kidding.
¡°Why is this skill bar getting longer and longer? Why can¡¯t Gamma be like Alpha who would merge skills on his own?¡±
Looking at Gamma¡¯s excessively long skill bar, Bai Qi was a bit troubled, but he had no choice but to patiently check every one.
While he didn¡¯t take it seriously at first, he gasped when he saw it.
¡°Oh my God! Where is my Awakened Energy Absorption Skill???¡±
Chapter 181 - 180: The Undying Gamma
Chapter 181: Chapter 180: The Undying Gamma
Trantor: 549690339
The reason Bai Qi put off his long-desired Flying System Beast for contract with Gamma was precisely because Gamma could use Energy Absorption to develop resistance.
Now that the Energy Absorption was gone, wouldn¡¯t Gamma¡¯s abilities be wasted?
Thinking of this, Bai Qi carefully sorted out Gamma¡¯s skill column again, finally finding twopletely new skills.
[SkillName]: Bloodsucking Aura
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description): Aura skill, which can absorb the blood and energy of creatures within the coverage area to replenish its own consumption.
After reading the description of this skill, Bai Qi finally knew where Gamma¡¯s evolved skill had gone.
Bloodsucking Aura, it had evolved from a single-target skill to a group skill.
But why did it also gain the ability to suck blood? Could it be because it had absorbed Li Xusheng¡¯s blood at the time?
After pondering for a while, Bai Qi no longer fixated on the origin of the Bloodsucking Aura, and instead focused on the other skill.
[SkillName]: ???
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description]: Life-saving skill. When the body suffers direct fatal damage, it will shed an outer shell to bear the fatal damage. The body enters a dematerialized state, with a cooldown time of three months.
¡°Isn¡¯t it said that Super Skills at least require Lord Level for insight? And this question mark, is it a brand-new skill?¡±
Bai Qi muttered these words and, after seeing the skill description, burst outughing.
A life-saving skill!
That one could use an outer shell to bear the direct fatal damage and even go into a dematerialized state was such a broken skill really possible?
Woooo?!
(Has this human gone crazy again?)
Beta tilted his head, somewhat unable to understand Bai Qi¡¯s actions. Schuck said, ¡°It must be because Gamma obtained some powerful skill. When we realized the Mechanical Lord, Beast Master had the same look.¡±
Bark bark!
(Human, I want a super skill too!)
Beta¡¯s voice was heard directly in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, waking up Bai Qi from his imagination.
¡°Don¡¯t you already have it?¡±
Bark bark!
(That belongs to Schuck, not me¡)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. These two were still so particr, was there such a side effect of split personality?
¡°You want a super skill? No problem, but you¡¯ll have to wait.¡±
Bai Qi pointed at Gamma, saying, ¡°Both of you have already used one Mythical Resource. If we use any more, it should go to Gamma first. As for the future, it depends on your performance.¡±
Woooo¡
(Human, you¡¯re too mean¡)
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, and then suddenly thought of something, saying, ¡°How about, you fight a round with Gamma, and if you win, I¡¯ll arrange the next Mythical Resource for you?¡±
Woooo?!
(What a deal! However, I feel there¡¯s a trap!)
Fighting Gamma when it had two levels ahead. This Mythical Resource was as good as given away.
There must be a catch!
¡°Of course, you need to suppress your energy value to the same level as Gamma. And, you need to end the battle within two minutes, otherwise it¡¯s considered a failure.¡±
¡°That¡¯s it? What if Gamma gets hurt?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s requirements, Schuck couldn¡¯t help but counter ask.
¡°Gamma should be able to withstand it, as for getting hurt, when have you ever seen it get hurt.¡±
The Evolution Egg had recognized Gamma¡¯s life-saving skill, so it must be effective. Although there was a three-month limit, he didn¡¯t foresee Gamma receiving any fatal injuries in the near future anyway.
However, the use about ¡°direct damage¡± did make Bai Qi wonder. If it could resist direct damage, what about indirect damage from skills like curses?
He had to go to the Moon Night Tower when he got back. He should be able to find a specific exnation there.
¡°Alright, get ready for battle.¡±
Hearing that Gamma had a life-saving skill, Schuck immediately agreed. So, the first inner battle of Bai Qi¡¯s Beast Control team officially began.
¡°Ahem, let me reiterate the rules again. It will also be considered a loss if Gamma loses itsbat abilities or if Schuck and Beta expend an amount of energy exceeding the target value. Any questions?¡±
*munch munch*
(Understood by Gamma.)
¡°No Questions.¡±
Seeing the two pets were ready, Bai Qi nodded. With a swift wave of his hand, he announced, ¡°So, the first round of the Legendary Resources Battle, Schuck and Beta VS Gamma, let the battle begin!¡±
As soon as the words fell, Schuck quickly pulled away from Gamma, unfolding the Mechanical Lord. He immediately morphed a few gun turrets andunched a fierce attack at Gamma, who didn¡¯t even have time to react before it was sted into multiple holes, with green jelly sshing everywhere.
Although there was a limit on the energy value, Schuck still managed to ensure enough destructive power. Although Gamma¡¯s resistance against both thunder and me was strong, it wasn¡¯t a conventional calction once Thunder me Power wasbined.
Moreover, the most troublesome part of Gamma was actually its Energy Absorption and Deadly Poison Aura. If it got close, it would be a hassle.
Faced with Schuck¡¯s intensive gunfire attack, Gamma didn¡¯t seem discouraged. In fact, it became increasingly excited.
*munch munch*
(Thunder me Power, delicious!)
Gamma directly absorbed a portion of the residual Thunder me Power on its body. Despite its heavily-damaged body, it was still eager to pounce on the Husky, moving in an eager crawl.
Seeing this, Beta seemed to recall some unpleasant memories. He directly split a Self-exploding Wolf, bit Gamma, and started running towards the distance. His body shed with Thunder me Power, obviously preparing to self-explode.
Just at that moment, a blood-red aura instantly unfolded, and the self-exploding wolf, on the verge of explosion, simply backed down and finally copsed directly to the ground.
¡°Energy absorption? Aura? No, it seems to affect the blood too.¡±
Schuck Beta immediately sensed the strange movement in its energy and blood, instantly covered its body with Etherium Liquid Gold, and kept some distance from Gamma again, stopping the blood movement.
¡°The coverage range is evenrger than the Deadly Poison Aura, is this awakened from energy absorption?¡±
Schuck nced at the blood-colored ring around Gamma and instantly figured out the origin of the Bloodsucking Aura.
Bai Qi chuckled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, be careful to not exhaust your energy.¡±
Schuck nodded, while Beta used Soul Whisper directly in Gamma¡¯s mind, causing an uproar, as Schuck continued to concentrate firepower to bombard Gamma.
Ka-poo Ka-poo?
¡°Is Beta singing? It sounds nice!¡±
Listening to Beta¡¯s roar in its mind, Gamma not only wasn¡¯t affected, but was even more excited, swaying its body as if dancing.
Awoo?
(Did I just find someone who understands me?)
Seeing Gamma like this, Beta was moved to tears and sang even more passionately, forgetting its original intention of disrupting Gamma¡¯s ability to use skills.
¡°Can¡¯t really rely on the main consciousness¡¡±
Seeing Beta in this state, Schuck sighed helplessly, then withdrew all the turrets into a Thunder Roar cannon and firmly locked onto Gamma.
Gamma¡¯s recovery ability and resistance were somewhat beyond its estimate. Non-fatal attacks simply could not cause significant damage to Gamma, only wasting energy and time. It was better to bet everything on a single attack.
But just as Schuck was gathering energy, it suddenly found that small, cute, blood-colored auras were emerging under its feet,yer uponyer, covering it.
At the same time, its inner energy was disappearing at a visible speed.
¡°Split personality? When did it¡¡±
Schuck frowned, and then quickly reacted.
These should be its split bodies from the bombing earlier; it didn¡¯t expect it could split into such small ones now.
Watching more and more Gamma split bodies gather around, Beta finally woke up, nning to distance itself, but was stopped by Schuck.
The reason was that time was almost up.
Awoo!
(Man, I really might lose!)
¡°Stop talking, hurry up and help, if we lose, it would be a great humiliation!¡±
Awoo?
(Embarrassed? Do you mean I¡¯ll beughed at by the bone?)
Thinking of this, a glint shed in Beta¡¯s eyes, directly ignoring the ever-converging Gamma split bodies, and starting to help Schuck gather energy with all its might.
Finally, the Thunder Roar cannon was fully illuminated, and a thick flow of Thunder me Power poured out, directly enveloping the entire Gamma. Those split bodies also suddenly lost vitality, turning into puddles of liquid.
Although the split bodies have their own ability to act, they are still connected to the main body. If the main body is injured, faints, or even dies, the split bodies will also be affected.
So, seeing these split bodies, Schuck Beta was certain that Gamma had absolutely lost its ability to fight.
Soon, the Thunder me Power dispersed, and Gamma¡¯s charred body also appeared, just as lifeless as the other split bodies.
However, Schuck only nced at it and found that this was just an outer shell, while Beta found Gamma, still in a state of dematerialization, with its outstanding perception.
Ka-poo Ka-poo.
(What just happened? Why is Gamma hungry again?)
Gamma removed the dematerialization status and immediately turned its eyes to Alpha and Husky.
The cost of using the life-sacrifice skill was almost all of its energy. Now Gamma was starved, so in its eyes, these two seniors were basically no different fromrge food sources.
¡°Really saved itself by shedding skin, let¡¯s call it Golden Cicada Shelling.¡±
Looking at Gamma, who survived from Husky¡¯s full blow, Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily.
Recover consumption with a bloodsucking aura, consume the other party with a deadly poison aura, plus all those resistances and perverse physique, and then there¡¯s the Golden Cicada Shelling for life-saving.
It feels like once Gamma grows up, there would be no one who could kill it.
Thinking of Gamma¡¯s future, Bai Qi¡¯s smile on his face became brighter, but when he saw Husky next to him, he was immediately reminded of the matter at hand.
¡°So, I officially announce that in the first round of thepetition for legendary resources, Gamma wins!¡±
Awoo!
(Unfair? I don¡¯t ept it!)
¡°Don¡¯t resist, we are too exhausted.¡±
Schuck directly projected its current data, showing all the energy consumption from the fight clearly.
Indeed, they controlled the consumption of the Thunder me Cannon urately, but they underestimated the speed of energy absorption from the blood-sucking auras umted after Gamma¡¯s split bodies. This part was not expected by him.
¡°Never mind, it¡¯s a warm-up, this time. The rules are also not perfect. Once Gamma also ascends to the Lord Level, we can fight at full strength.¡±
Seeing that Schuck and Beta seemed to be feeling depressed again, Bai Qi quickly coughed lightly and said seriously, ¡°It will be like this in the future. Every pet can have a Mythical Material unconditionally. You and Alpha have enjoyed this already. The quota for Mythical Materials in the future will be up to you topete for.¡±
Ga Ga.
(I listen to the boss.)
Woof, woof!
(No problem!)
Ka-poo Ka-poo?
(Gamma doesn¡¯t understand, but Gamma listens to its master.)
Seeing the three pets agree with his idea, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.
There must be rules for everything. Although he should treat everyone equally, a reasonablepetition is also needed.

Chapter 182: Chapter 181: Life in the Primordial Era
Trantor: 549690339
After Husky¡¯s and Alpha¡¯s fight was over, Bai Qi held a series of tests for the three pets. Then, he let them do their own things.
As for Schuck, he naturally continued to study the mechanical manual. Meanwhile, Beta, whose heart was in unison with the others¡¯, was mumbling something.
Gamma, who had just used the Golden Cicada Shelling, was nearly depleted of energy. He was very hungry and ran off somewhere to find something to eat.
As for Alpha, although he usually trained alone, this time he brought along the six little brothers he had just taken in to train.
¡°I wonder how these six skeletons are doing.¡±
Bai Qi paused before finally heading in Alpha¡¯s direction.
Feeling Bai Qi¡¯s approach, Alpha immediately stopped his exercises. The six skeletons also halted at once, their actions mirroring Alpha¡¯s in an almost synchronous manner, like shadows.
¡°Alpha, how are they doing now?¡±
Gurgle, gurgle.
(Not bad, both levels are slowly increasing.)
Bai Qi nodded. Ever since the six skeletons were contracted by Alpha, they had instantly upgraded their race level. However, they were still gradually improving, which satisfied Bai Qi.
Having six obedient pets that could gradually level up without having to take care of them, there was no reason for him not to take advantage of this.
Still, Bai Qi knew that these skeletons must have been able to slowly absorb the energy Alpha had dispersed because the gap between them was so vast. They probably wouldn¡¯t be able to do this much longer.
Unless Alpha widened the gap further with these skeletons quickly, they might get another chance to level up.
Thinking this, Bai Qi concentrated his spiritual power on one of the skeletons and received its data.
[Name]: Golden Armor Corpse
[Nature]: Steel Apartment, Undead Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Growth Level]: First Stage Eighth Level
[Racial Skills]: Steel Armor, Ripping w, Savage Charge
The name ¡® Golden Armor Corpse1 was the new name Bai Qi had given to the evolved form of the Steel Skull. The other five skeletons had simr names.
Poison breath ¨C Wood Armor Corpse.
Ice bone ¨C Water Armor Corpse.
Fire w ¨C Fire Armor Corpse.
Rock armor ¨C Earth Armor Corpse.
Hidden sting ¨C Dark Armor Dead Body.
Afterpleting the evolution of all six skeletons, the name Six Corpse inexplicably popped into Bai Qi¡¯s head, so he simply used it.
As for the Dark Armor Corpse, it was named simply to maintain formation.
Unfortunately, light-element material and undead nature don¡¯t go well together, otherwise, Bai Qi was nning toplete the Yin-Yang Five Corpses.
But now it¡¯s not bad, especially from a certain perspective. The full name of Alpha Wilting Dragon Lord is now fulfilled.
As a lord, he must have some subordinates, right?
It¡¯s unknown whether the Six Corpses can continue the contract as Alpha does. If they can, pull one to ten, ten to a hundred¡
As long as the contracts continue to be signed, could he not directly form an Undead Corps, with Alpha as the Undead King?
As for him, he would naturally be the man ¡erm, man behind the Undead King?
He feels quite good just thinking about it!
Bai Qi wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth, told Alpha to always pay attention to the situation of the Six Corpse, and then went back to his room.
As soon as hended, Bai Qi noticed a few more people in his room. It was none other than Bai Heguang, Luo Xiang, and Chun Yushui.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
Being stared at by three big men, and three men he couldn¡¯t beat at that, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help feeling a shiver run down his spine. He thought for a while but could only squeeze out a single sentence.
Bai Heguang¡¯s eyes were cold as they swept over Bai Qi. ¡°I sensed the power of death in your room just now. Was it from your pet?¡± he said.
¡°Uh, yes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, but in his heart, he was full of disdain.
Why do Bai Heguang and Luo Xiang, like dogs, have noses so sensitive? Does every high-stage Beast Master have a dog¡¯s nose?
What about when they go to the bathroom?
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s confirmation, Bai Heguang scowled. ¡°Summon it to let me see.¡±
Bai Qi was startled by the words, but still obediently summoned Alpha from the secret realm.
But there was more.
Six Corpses.
At this moment, the Six Corpses were surrounding Alpha, each having a palm on its forehead, ad the other ends of the palms were Alpha.
Alpha sensed the change in his surroundings immediately, especially the other breaths around him, and instinctively entered abative state. The Six Corpses also all started to move.
¡°What is this? I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡±
Spotting the array of Six Corpse around Alpha, Luo Xiang was immediately intrigued, looked up and down, but couldn¡¯t figure out a matching creature.
¡°The designs certainly resemble others, but I think these are entirely new types of evolution.¡±
Bai Heguang was indeed a Titled Legendary Undead, he straightway judged the peculiarity of the Six Corpse. Even so, Bai Heguang did not further inquire about the Six Corpse¡¯s origins but instead turned his attention towards Alpha¡¯s Withering Sword.
Bai Heguang leaned close to the Withering Sword, attentively sensed it, and then summoned the Jiuyou Darkbird, asking,¡± Jiuyou, does it look the same as yours?¡±
The Jiuyou Darkbirdnded on the Withering Sword, gently pecked at it, and said, ¡°Correct, it has also absorbed the Power of Death, and it¡¯s even more stable than when I first did.¡±
¡°Also? Bai Chuanqi, you also absorbed the Blood of Death?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s ears moved as he quickly perceived the hidden meaning in the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s words.
Bai Heguang nodded and before he had a chance to speak, the Jiuyou Darkbird stepped in saying, ¡°Absorb? You¡¯ re lucky you weren¡¯t consumed by that thing.¡±
Hearing the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s words, Bai Qi awkwardly scratched his head.
If it hadn¡¯t been for the Evolution Egg and the Green Dragon Scale, Alpha and Gamma might have indeed been devoured.
¡°But since you¡¯ve absorbed it, it¡¯s a blessing in disguise. Maybe this skeleton can evolve to the same level as me in the future.¡±
Perhaps due to the Power of Death, the Jiuyou Darkbird noticeably warmed up to both Alpha and Bai Qi and talked more. After circling around Alpha for a while, it quickly noticed the Six Corpse with disparate attributes surrounding it.
¡°These things seem to have some mysterious connection with your pets, could it be that the modern skeletal creatures can reproduce themselves?¡±
Upon the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t suppress the twitch in his eye, while Luo Xiang retreated to the side tough.
¡°Jiuyou, enough.¡±
Bai Heguang interrupted the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s words. Looking at Alpha, who stood before himpletely transformed, he suddenly turned towards Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, would you be my apprentice?¡±
¡°Apprentice?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s words, Bai Qi froze momentarily, his usually agile mind suddenly turning stiff.
He hadn¡¯t misheard, had he? The Titled Legendary Celestial Brilliance who had always been somewhat irritated with him was offering to take him as an apprentice?
¡°If you¡¯re unwilling, forget it.¡±
Seeing that Bai Qi did not respond immediately, Bai Heguang was ready to drop the matter, but Bai Qi managed to recover just in time and nodded repeatedly.
¡°Willing, willing, disciple Bai Qi, meets Master.¡±
Although the association was open to all the Federation, that was only external. Internally, there were still different factions.
One faction was familial, led by the Bai Family and the Xiao Family, and the other faction was the master-apprentice system.
Although he was unclear why Bai Heguang suddenly wanted to take him as an apprentice, Bai Qi was gifted a free great pir of support, moreover the strongest pir in the Federation. If Bai Qi didn¡¯t grasp this opportunity, he would indeed be a fool.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s agreement, Bai Heguang finally nodded with satisfaction, but Chun Yushui suddenly spoke up, ¡°Bai Chuanqi, is the Bai Family also moving towards the master-apprentice system?¡±
Bai Heguang responded lightly, ¡°I am me, and the Bai Family is the Bai Family.¡±
Chun Yushui shrugged and said, ¡°Indeed. Still, to witness Bai Chuanqi taking an apprentice, I can go brag about it.¡±
Bai Heguang said, ¡°It¡¯s just a student; there¡¯s no need to show off so mboyantly.¡±
Speaking, Bai Heguang turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Although the Power of Death is somewhat simr, even stronger than the Shadow Department Power, there are still differences. If used incorrectly, it can be a double-edged sword.¡±
¡°You go back to your intensive training first. After I finish dealing with matters here, I¡¯lle and teach you how to control the Power of Death.¡±
So, it was because of the Power of Death. No wonder suddenly he wanted to take me as an apprentice.
Bai Qi understood Bai Heguang¡¯s intentions, but he epted it willingly.
Having a Titled Legendary as a teacher ¨C he would be able to walk freely in the Federation from now on.
Oh right, also an apprehensive Legend Dragon as a pet.
Suddenly, he felt that he has strong backing.
¡°Er, master, can I ask about the Blood of Death just now?¡±
Just a slight touch had caused such radical changes in Alpha and Gamma. This Blood of Death must have an extraordinary origin.
Is it named blood because it¡¯s from a powerful creature?
Perhaps because he had just epted an apprentice, Bai Heguang exceptionally showed patience. He did not brush off the question but exined after choosing his words carefully, ¡°You should know that this world¡¯s history is divided into five stages, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The experts of this world were quite dedicated. They had traced the world¡¯s history back to before humans appeared and divided it into five eras.
The Primordial Era, Ancient Era, Middle Ancient Era, Recent Ancient Era, and the current Federation Era.
The era timeline of the Recent Ancient Era was clear, starting from the rise of the Emperor who established the first human country all the way until the Federation was formed, all belong to the Recent Ancient Era.
The Middle Ancient Era refers to the time when ferocious beasts dominated.
Humans were only ves and food at that time, which is why the Middle Ancient Era is also known as the Ferocious Beast Era.
The Ancient Era was when ancient creatures were active. Creatures like the Original Beasts such as the saber-toothed tiger lived during the Ancient Era, so it is also known as Original Era.
The oldest era, the Primordial Era, leans more towards legends.
ording to thetest data avable from experts, living creatures in the Primordial Era only exist in legends now, such as phoenixes, angels, gods¡
Judging by the grave importance Wei Chen and Bai Heguang gave to the Blood of Death, could this mean that the Blood of Death belonged to a creature from the Primordial era?
Chapter 183 - 182: Undead Corps Plan Bankrupt?
Chapter 183: Chapter 182: Undead Corps n Bankrupt?
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to have gained some understanding, Bai Heguang nodded slightly, saying, ¡°The true origin of the Blood of Death is still unclear to this day, but traces of it appear, more or less, in the secret realms of each era.¡¯
¡°Including the Primordial Era.¡±
¡°So, the owner of the Blood of Death might be a mythical creature from the ancient times, or even earlier?¡±
Bai Qi was astonished upon hearing this, he clearly didn¡¯t expect toe into contact with a creature from such a distant past.
If only he had known earlier, maybe he would have collected more of the Blood
of Death.
No, that¡¯s not right. He couldn¡¯t have collected it unless he had the power of the stars simr to the Morning Star.
¡°Probably. You will understand more about the specifics when you ess more secret realms in the future,¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, saying, ¡°Now, you should focus on training. Don¡¯t run around everywhere until you be a Four Stage Beast Master.¡±
¡°Yes, Teacher.¡±
He didn¡¯t enjoy wandering around to begin with. If it hadn¡¯t been for Luo Xiang taking him out, he would still be cooped up at headquarters with Bai Qiucha and others.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s respectfulness, Bai Heguang¡¯s expression softened a bit, and he then shifted his attention to the Six Corpse.
¡± Are these the skeleton soldiers from your Rune Evolution studies before? It seems they¡¯ve evolved again?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, saying, ¡°After the conferencest time, President Qin threw me this. Since I gained some revtions in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm recently, I conducted some experiments with them. To my surprise, they have evolved again.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi spoke, the room fell silent. Both Luo Xiang and Chun Yushui looked at Bai Qi with astonishment.
¡°Bai Qi, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve made a breakthrough in the second stage of Rune
Evolution?¡±
Although Luo Xiang wasn¡¯t part of the Rune Evolution Special Team, he wasn¡¯tpletely ignorant about Rune Evolution.
Even though Rune Evolution does away with theplicated forms and the feasibility of evolution at all stages below the Lord Level has been confirmed, there are also some limitations.
A single undead creature can only undergo Rune Evolution once. Subsequent evolutions still require the traditional methods, otherwise engraving additional runes wouldn¡¯t help.
This was one of the challenges the Rune Evolution Special Team had been working on recently, and President Qin had consulted him because of it. But from what Bai Qi was implying, he seemed to have made a breakthrough already?
¡°Sort of. Thanks to the ancient runes you gave me, Instructor Luo.
Bai Qi briefly informed them about his research on General Terracotta and his experiments with Steel Skull, causing Luo Xiang tough.
Since humans cannot make direct contact with the ve Contract, let beasts do
it instead?
You¡¯re seriously something else!
Bai Heguang nced at the faint Rune Mark on the forehead of the Line Corpse and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, who knows about this research of yours?¡±
¡°I just discovered it a couple of days ago, so it¡¯s just you, Instructor Luo, and
Uncle Chun who know about this.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, saying, ¡°From now on, unless I agree, the method of second-stage Rune Evolution must not be disclosed, and you mustn¡¯t let your beasts continue to make contracts either.
Bai Qi looked puzzled upon hearing this, while Luo Xiang and Chun Yushui understood why.
Luo Xiang asked, ¡°Do you worry it will impact Bai Qi¡¯s contract slots, Bai Chuanqi?¡±
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, saying, ¡°Apart from Beast Masters who possess special talents, the number of contract slots for Beast Masters is fixed. It can¡¯t be replenished if a beast dies or betrays.
¡°Since you know about the ve Contract, you should have also heard about
the origin of the contract rune mark.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and seemed to understand.
The contract rune mark is a gift from the World Will, Gaia. It forms the capital through which humans can stand up against ferocious beasts, but there is a limit to the number.
Given the scarcity of Beast Masters at that time, it would naturally be better to contract more beasts, yet the World Will didn¡¯t do it that way.
Unless it wasn¡¯t that Gaia was unwilling to give more runes, but that humans could only bear so much?
¡°The number of contract slots for human Beast Masters is not a limitation, but a form of protection. Contracting forcefully without sufficiently powerful Beast Control Space would damage one¡¯s own soul.¡±
¡°Although you aren¡¯t personally contracting with the Six Corpse, you still have a connection with it. Don¡¯t take any risks with contracts until you be a Legend, understand?¡±
After listening to Bai Heguang¡¯s advice, Bai Qi kept nodding, but he was slightly disappointed.
He didn¡¯t expect the Undead Corps n, which hadn¡¯t even been officially drawn up, to go bankrupt. He was really unwilling to ept this.
He wondered how those people in the Founding Emperor Period managed to control so many Terracottas and ancient weapons without going crazy. Could it be that the ancient people were more robust and didn¡¯t need to worry about human considerations?
Yes, not acting like a human?
Bai Qi had a sudden sh of inspiration, saying, ¡°Um, Teacher, I suddenly think that the second stage of Rune Evolution can be revealed.
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Heguang frowned slightly.
The reason he suddenly took Bai Qi as his disciple was not only because of the Power of Death, but also because Bai Qi was incredibly good at making things happen.
If it were just any ordinary person, it wouldn¡¯t be an issue, but Bai Heguang was worried that Bai Qi, who always tended to stir things up, would research the Power of Death and possibly create trouble.
Looking at the situation now, his decision seemed correct.
This guy needed to be watched closely. Unlike Bai Heguang¡¯s cautiousness, Luo Xiang was interested, asking, What idea have youe up with? Tell us.¡±
Bai Qi organized his thoughts before speaking, ¡°With regards to the second stage of evolution, isn¡¯t the most essential part the Rune Structure that connects the soul and body? If so, wouldn¡¯t it be sufficient to simply eliminate all the limiting runes within the ve Contract and only retain the parts that propagate Spirit Power?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Luo Xiang and Chun Yushui looked at each other, neither of them readily refuting Bai Qi¡¯s proposition.
It seemed, possible?
Bai Heguang pondered for a moment before responding, ¡°The differences between ancient and modern runes are significant. This method isn¡¯t very reliable. If even a single rune is overlooked, a contract may still be formed between the person inputting and receiving Spirit Power.¡± Bai Heguang paused, then continued, ¡°However, it¡¯s worth researching in this direction. You can get in touch with President Qinter and ask them to research this further.¡±
¡°What if the one providing the Spirit Power isn¡¯t a person?
Upon hearing this from Bai Qi, even the usually unruffled Bai Heguang couldn¡¯t help but look stunned.
Luo Xiang was the first to get it, ¡°Not a person? Are you referring to a treasure capable of storing Spirit Power?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Exactly. Treasure, unique machinery, Spirit Power storage runes, even some masterless legendary creatures can also be used.¡± The three men fell silent upon hearing this. After a while, Chun Yushui was the first to break the silence.
¡°The young people of today indeed have a lot of ideas. I feel old¡¡¯ he murmured before downing a gulp of liquor and leaving Bai Qi¡¯s room. Luo Xiang simplyughed, ¡°I have no idea how President Qin discovered you. To think you coulde up with such a method.¡±
¡°However, it¡¯s indeed worth a try.¡±
Luo Xiang nced at Bai Heguang, seemingly asking his opinion. After a brief moment of thought, Bai Heguang closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.
¡°Alright, you can continue your research. But remember, you must inform me before announcing the results, understood?
¡°Understood, understood. You can rest assured, teacher! Initially, he had been worried that Bai Heguang would disapprove of his mechanical research on the Undead. Now that Bai Heguang had agreed, he didn¡¯t mind fulfilling these harmless conditions.
The Undead Corps, I¡¯m back!
¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll go now. You can take Luo Xiang back.
Bai Heguang nodded his head and then left Bai Qi¡¯s room.
Upon confirming that Bai Heguang had left, Luo Xiang suddenly burst into an odd smile, ¡°Phew, never would I have expected Bai Chuanqi to take you as his disciple. Your days ahead are not going to be easy.¡±
¡°What do you mean?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s heart jumped. Was Bai Heguang a demon instructor, even more terrifying than Zhang Shan?
Luo Xiang chuckled, ¡°Who do you think holds more prestige, a member of the Six Tower or a Titled Legendary Disciple?¡±
Damn, I totally forgot that part!
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but break a sweat. As a legendary figure who had made a name for himself for years, Bai Heguang hadn¡¯t epted any disciples until now. This had been a sore point for many Undead Department Beastmasters.
Now that he had been epted as Bai Heguang¡¯s disciple, the news would surely cause a sensation once it spread throughout the Federation. The challengers acting out of resentment were bearable. Bai Qi didn¡¯t mind finding some free sparring partners for Alpha and the others. But if he caught the attention of crazy reporters and fans, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to step outside.
¡°Instructor Luo, could you please keep it a secret for me?
Luo Xiang shrugged and nodded toward the door, ¡°I have no problem with it, but it seems like it might already be toote.
No sooner had he finished speaking, Bai Qi¡¯s door was bust open and Feng Ye and the others stormed in.
¡°Bai Qi, now that you¡¯ve been taken in by Bai Chuanqi, damn it, how unfair!¡± ¡°Little brother Bai Qi, remember to take good care of your sister in the future-¡± ¡°Bai Qi, let¡¯s fight and see just how wide the gap between us and a Legendary Disciple is!¡±
¡°Awoo, awoo, Bai Qi, do you want to eat?¡±
Looking at Feng Ye and the others who were making a fuss in front of him, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a headache. Seeing Uncle Chun, who was leaning at the door savoring his wine, made him even more exasperated.
He kept wondering why this slob of an uncle suddenly ran off. It turned out he had gone to disseminate the news.
Now that these people knew, he didn¡¯t need a paparazzi to investigate, others would soon be bursting with curiosity.
This wouldn¡¯t do. He¡¯d have to avoid publicity at the headquarters for a while and take this opportunity to focus on reaching his teacher¡¯s requirement of the Four Stage.
Speaking of which, he had been so worried about Alda and Gamma that he hadn¡¯t noticed that his physique had been enhanced again.
Hiss¡ Should he go get some Blood of Death or something to stuff into the Evolution Egg and trigger a bug?
Bai Qi thought for a while, but eventually gave up on the idea.
Although he had the Green Dragon¡¯s Scales to recover his physical strength, the feeling of being eroded by the Blood of Death wasn¡¯t pleasant. He didn¡¯t want to take that risk.
However, he can¡¯t leave this ce empty-handed.
¡°Come,e, everyone spar with me!¡±
He¡¯d missed out on the two legendary creatures, but he couldn¡¯t pass up the chance to study so many unfamiliar pets. He had to progress as much as he could¡

Songlin City.
The headquarters of the Association.
Assembly hall.
¡°I finally got through the first evaluation. If I hadn¡¯t passed, the teacher would have given me a beating for sure.¡±
Zhou Yan looked at her grade report and let out a sigh of relief.
Combat, runes, resource management, pet beast breeding, ferocious beast theory, andprehensive. There were six exams in total, and she only got an excellent grade inbat; the rest were merely passable.
However, Zhou Yan was more than content.
Zhou Yan happily put away her grade report, then turned to look at Bai Qiucha and the others. ¡°Cha, did you pass?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head a little shamefacedly and said, ¡°It seems I really don¡¯t have a talent for runes. I¡¯ll need to spend more time on it.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s okay, runes are Qing¡¯er¡¯s responsibility anyway, it¡¯s okay if we just
have a rudimentary understanding.¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan pped Bai Qiucha¡¯s shoulder hard. She then nced at Bai Qiucha¡¯s grade report, but she was lost for words.
Combat ¨C excellent, runes ¨C good, resource management ¨C excellent, pet beast breeding ¨C excellent, ferocious beast theory ¨C excellent,prehensive ¨C excellent.
You call thisck of talent?
Zhou Yan¡¯s eye twitched slightly. She looked around and saw that Bai Yuxiao and Gu Shan had all avoided her gaze.
¡°Don¡¯t bother looking. Among these people, except you, the worst is also
good.¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses and said, ¡°You should be grateful. This time, the rune exam was supervised by Teacher Zhang. If it was Instructor Luo, I highly doubt you could even pass.¡±
¡°Qing¡¯er, do you have to hurt your own girlfriend like this?¡±
Zhou Yan dropped her head in dejection, not knowing how to retort. But she , quickly cheered herself up, ¡°Never mind, as long as I got through this time, it¡¯s fine. It¡¯s still uncertain when Instructor Luo will return.
¡°It¡¯s not necessarily.¡±
Xiao Yuan pointed at the screen in the center of the assembly hall. It was currently disying the points obtained by everyone after the first examination.
¡°First ce: Bai Qi, 18300.¡±
¡°Second ce: Xiao Yuan, 10240.¡±
¡°Third ce: Bai Qiucha, 9980.¡±
¡°Fourth ce:¡¡±
The rankings of Xiao Yuan, Bai Qiucha, and the others were quite normal, almost consistent with their performances these past days, but the first ce was a bit beyond their expectations.
¡°Bai Qi went on a mission with Instructor Luo, didn¡¯t he? How did he get so many points?¡±
Zhou Yan stared at the leaderboard nkly, clearly having trouble epting it.
¡°Bai Qi¡¯s mission this time was approved by the chairman himself, so his performance on it counts towards the exam.
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, ¡°Before the exam, I noticed that Bai Qi¡¯s points were still the same as when he left. Now that they¡¯ve changed, it must mean that Bai
Qi has returned.¡±
Having said that, Xiao Yuan paused and added, ¡°So unless something unexpected happened, Instructor Luo has also returned.¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately waved her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about Instructor Luoter. Even if it was an external mission, Bai Qi¡¯s score is too high. Did he blow up ferocious beasts or uncover secrets?
¡°During the training period, all points are supervised by the lords of the Six
Towers and all instructors. There can be no mistake.¡±
Lu Qing nced at the screen and said, ¡°But I am also curious about what Bai Qi did to earn so many points.¡±
Zhou Yan and the others had an ¡°aha¡± moment. Then, a thought urred to her, ¡°Where is Bai Qi?¡±
Tower of Decision.
Upon hearing Luo Xiang¡¯s report, Zhao Futu had a smile on his face.
¡°So it was just a seal-type secret realm, Old Fu must be pissed.
Luo Xiang shrugged and said, ¡°Not necessarily. Although it¡¯s not the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, the value of the Champion Marquis¡¯ Secret Realm isn¡¯t small either. And the focus of the Thirteenth Bureau doesn¡¯t seem to be on this secret realm.¡±
¡°How so?¡±
Luo Xiang said, ¡°As the head of the special assault team of the Thirteenth Bureau, Yi Yu only appeared at the very beginning and was not seen afterwards. Considering his pet beast, he must have made some other discoveries.¡± ¡°Yi Yu, huh? A beast with the gift of fate is indeed convenient, but the price is not small.¡±
Zhao Futu thought for a moment and said, ¡°What about our side, what did we gain?¡±
¡°Aside from the ancient farm we found at the beginning, the ancient library weter found could barely be considered a gain. However, decoding will take some time; I¡¯ve already sent everything to the Tower of Knowledge.¡± ¡°Once everything is decoded, it should help us understand the history of that year.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded and then, as if something had urred to him, said, ¡°What about Bai Qi? I see you gave him quite a high evaluation. Leng Feifei hase to find me twice already. Has thisd caused a ruckus again?¡±
With a smile, Luo Xiang replied, ¡°No ruckus, but he has made quite a stir. At least he has overshadowed the younger generations on both sides.¡± Having said that, Luo Xiang briefly described Bai Qi¡¯s performance in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm. Zhao Futu immediately burst outughing,pletely forgetting his dignity.
¡°I knew this kid was trouble wherever he went, but absorbing the Blood of
Death, he really has good luck.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and said, ¡°Indeed, Bai Qi¡¯s main pet had already grasped the power of Withering before, and with the help of the Green Dragon Scale, he was able to survive. Otherwise, even if Mechanical Legend were there, Bai Qi would be in for some trouble.¡±
¡°So, your high appraisal and hush money for Bai Qi¡?
Luo Xiang gave a sheepish smile, saying, ¡°That¡¯s because the Blood of Death was identally released by me. If I didn¡¯t give somepensation, this kid mighte back to bite me someday.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡¡±
Zhao Futuughed heartily, saying, ¡°I see it now, Bai Qi is a carbon copy of you from back in the day,¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not worried about that, Bai Chuanqi has already taken Bai Qi as his apprentice, he¡¯s the one who might get conned, not me.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded his head and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Bai Qi?
Hearing Zhao Futu¡¯s question, Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, This kid barely hit the ground when Old Lady Fan nabbed him, insisting that Bai Qi take the pet the special training program had gifted him.¡±
¡°Haha¡ Old Lady Fan¡¯s patience with humans ismendable. But I remember that Bai Qi only recently advanced to the third rank, right?
¡°Less than a month, I guess. But I think he¡¯s close to the fourth rank.¡± Luo Xiang envisioned the scene of Bai Qi pummeling Feng Ye and his friends and could not help butugh.
A stage three fighter beating a stage four¡ even Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t do something this outrageous, right?
Breeding ground.
Bai Qi, staring nkly like a fledgling chick, was held by an old-fashioned woman with silver hair and slowly descended from the sky.
Only God knew what he had experienced.
He was originally riding on the Wild Owling back from the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, and the moment he entered Songlin City¡¯s territory, this old- fashioned woman, who Luo Xiang referred to as Old Lady Fan, directly tore off the Wild Owl¡¯s top cover and took him away.
However, Bai Qi, who had once fooled the Legendary Giant Dragon, quickly noticed that the progress of the Evolution Egg had been raised to a hundred percent.
So, was this old-fashioned woman a transformed Legendary creature?
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
Old Lady Fan, looking impatient, threw Bai Qi to the ground, saying, ¡°Hurry up and choose a Lord creature and get lost. I don¡¯t have the patience to deal with you.¡±
Seeing Old Lady Fan¡¯s youthful appearance and yet she called herself an old woman was just strange to Bai Qi. But it wasn¡¯t a good idea to provoke a Legendary creature, so he kept his thoughts to himself.
Exactly how many Legendary creatures does the association keep at home, even willing to use them to watch the breeding ground?
Just as Bai Qi was marveling at the association¡¯s wealth, Old Lady Fan suddenly kicked him from behind and said, ¡°What¡¯s taking you so long?¡±
Then, Old Lady Fan passed Bai Qi and directly entered the breeding ground in front of him.
The breeding ground, located on the outside of the Six Tower, looked like an ancient wooden house from the outside. But everyone knew that this must be the entrance to another secret realm.
Indeed, as Bai Qi entered the wooden house, a view of an infinite prairie suddenly met his eyes. A diverse range of energies continuously radiated from various ces in the meadow.
Some of these energies were strong, some were weak, ranging from servants to lords, and Bai Qi even sensed one or two obscure energies. Even though they were only transient, they made his spirit tremble involuntarily.
Regardless of their rank, these creatures seemed to live harmoniously together. To his surprise, Bai Qi saw a skeleton creature intimately resting against a Thunder Beast.
Could the world¡¯s first Thundering Skeleton be born here?
Looking at the dazzling array of pets in the meadow, Bai Qi was thrilled, eager to check out each one.
These were all potential progress¡
¡°Minions, those who are willing to go with this little guy,e over here. Only Lord-level, others need not bother,¡± Old Lady Fan shouted out to the prairie. ¡°Um, Old Lady Fan, is the pet gifting process in the association so casual?¡± Seeing Old Lady Fan¡¯s move, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask, feeling somewhat wronged.
¡°Usually, the choice is made in advance, but since you, young man, are so dawdling, this olddy can¡¯t be bothered to choose for you,¡± Old Lady Fan replied, casually ncing at Bai Qi. ¡°You have a nice scent; I¡¯m sure many creatures will want to go with you.
Nice scent, are you sure you¡¯re not choosing something to eat?
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched, but remembering that he did indeed take a long time, he quit wasting time and became even more eager.
If I could meet another mutant species ¨C I¡¯d settle for an ancient species or mythical species too.
As Old Lady Fun had predicted, it wasn¡¯t long before plenty of Lord creatures ran in front of Bai Qi.
Some of them approached Bai Qi affectionately after seeing him, clearly quite fond of him. But others sniffed him and ran away.
Is it possible that some did not fancy him?
Bai Qi then understood the feeling of pets that weren¡¯t chosen.
The feeling of being rejected, yikes¡

Trantor: 549690339
Soon, eight pets came to a stop in front of Bai Qi. They all stood there obediently, waiting for Bai Qi to make his choice.
[Name]: me-tailed Fox

[Nature]: None

[Name]: Tree of Life
[Nature]: nt Attribute
[Bloodline Level]: High-Grade Lord
[Introduction]: A being with strong vitality, it usually lives deep within the forest, where no ferocious beast would harm it.
Bai Qi looked at the profiles of the eight pets provided by Old Lady Fan and suddenly found himself at a loss.
With eight lord-level creatures to choose from, including the high-grade lord Tree of Life, Bai Qi, who had originally thought he could just casually pick one and then use the Evolution Egg, suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Having too many choices wasn¡¯t a good thing after all.
Old Lady Fan appeared surprised that Bai Qi had so many pets to choose from. Her original irritation seemed to fade away as she said, ¡°My dear Qin, you first registered an Undead creature, andter changed it to an Arctic Ice Wolf. Just what type of Beast Master are you? Summon your pet and let Granny help you choose.¡±
¡°Uh, I think I can¡¯t really be ssified.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and summoned all three of his pets.
Crunch Crunch.
(Boss, are these the enemies?)
As expected, Alpha was the mostbative one among the three pets. The first thing it did upon arrival was to enter its battle stance.
Awo?!
(Human, you were captured by the ferocious beasts, this olddy looks so terrifying!
Gulp Gulp?
(Boss, is it time for food?)
¡°Skeleton, Arctic Ice Wolf, Slime? How did you manage to train them like this?¡± Old Lady Fan, being an expert nurturer, saw through the true forms of the three pets at once and begun to hold Bai Qi in higher esteem.
¡°It was a sheer coincidence.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and pointed at the eight lord-level creatures next to him, saying, ¡°Why don¡¯t you give me some advice, Old Lady Fan?¡±
Since Old Lady Fan seemed to have lived many years, if she noticed anything about the Evolution Egg, it would be hard for him to exin.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Fan didn¡¯t think much and asked, ¡°You haven¡¯t specialized in one system, so the choices are wider. Do you have any idea?¡± Upon hearing this, Bai Qi smacked his lips and said, ¡°I originally did, but now I am dazzled and lost.¡±
Old Lady Fan nodded, her silvery eyes swept over the Alpha¡¯s three pets, saying, ¡°ording to your human habits, a team generally needs at least a strong attacker, defender, supporter, and escape artist.¡±
¡°You already have the first two, but you are missing an escape artist and
supporter.¡±
Old Lady Fan paused and said, ¡°The follow-up evolution of the me Tail Fox is quite powerful, and there are even species close to being myths in the Ferocious Beast Tribe. However, since you already have a strong attacker, it would be wasteful to focus resources on another, which is not advisable.
¡°As for the Netherworld Cat and the Fire Demon Lizard, they are not as good as
the me Tail Fox.¡±
Upon hearing Old Lady Fan¡¯s words, the me Tail Fox and the other two pets lowered their heads in slight dejection. However, they quickly recovered, nodded at Old Lady Fan as a form of salute, and then left.
As expected of legendary creatures, their intimidation factor is significant. ¡°The Gale Wing and the Four-winged Dragon Griffin are both flying creatures. The Gale Wing is excellent for escape, but the Four-winged Dragon Griffin has a higher limit. If you choose a flying creature, I rmend the Four-winged Dragon Griffin.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. No matter where, the potential of the Dragon-Blood species far exceeded ordinary pets. Indeed, he was somewhat tempted.
However, theter ones also seemed excellent.
¡°The Ice Demon Ape is a Mid-Level Lord, performing well in control and output, and its upper limit is not low. It seems that the main pet of the Combat System Titled Legendary among your humans is an evolved form of the Ice Demon Ape.¡±
Titled Legendary of the Combat System?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes sparkled. With such a high limit, wouldn¡¯t he just need to casually train it, and it would inevitably be a legendary creature?
¡°However, I don¡¯t rmend that you choose the Ice Demon Ape.
Old Lady Fan nced at Alpha, saying, ¡°You already have a pretty strong Ice n Undead. Cultivating another Ice n creature won¡¯t benefit you much. Also, these two chaps seem to not get along too well.¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback and realized Alpha and the Ice Demon Ape were already confronting each other. If it wasn¡¯t for Old Lady Fan and himself being present, they probably would have already started fighting.
Regardless of how strong the Ice Demon Ape was, it couldn¡¯t be as vital to him as his own Alpha. Plus, the future of Alpha might not necessarily be worse.
¡°As for the Ancestral Beast and the Tree of Life, you should have heard of their reputations. I don¡¯t need to say too much, do I?¡±
Bai Qi nodded continuously. The Tree of Life was the most worthwhile to cultivate among nt attribute creatures. It possessed a robust vitality, could heal most wounds of the pets, and could even lengthen a Beast Master¡¯s lifespan.
It was known that pets would provide feedback to their Beast Masters. For instance, Alpha enhanced Bai Qi¡¯s speed, the Husky improved Bai Qi¡¯s spirit power (although Bai Qi didn¡¯t think it was necessary), and Gamma enhanced his physical constitution.
If Bai Qi contracted with the Tree of Life, if nothing else, at least extending his life by a decade or so wasn¡¯t a problem.
Bai Qi was all too familiar with the fame of the Ancestral Beast.
The Thunder Bird, the Ice Fish, the me Beast¡
All these famous high-grade Lords and even King-level creatures evolved from the Ancestral Beast, which was how the Ancestral Beast got its name.
In other words, if he chose the Ancestral Beast, he would have an abundance of choices.
The Four-winged Dragon Griffin was a flying creature and would fulfil his long-cherished wish.
The Tree of Life was a super supplement. After contracting it, he wouldn¡¯t need to worry about being drained by the Evolution Egg.
The Ancestral Beast had the highest potential for future development.
It was still such a headache¡
Bai Qi rubbed his head somewhat helplessly. However, Old Lady Fan next to him suddenly spoke, ¡°Although it¡¯s not very fair to this child, I suggest you choose between the Four-winged Dragon Griffin and the Tree of Life.
¡°Why? Is this Ancestral Beast already reserved by someone?¡±
Bai Qi was startled when he heard that and looked at the Ancestral Beast curiously.
¡°In fact, it has been reserved many times before. However, it was always returned.¡±
¡°Can it not evolve?¡±
Bai Qi quickly grasped the key point. Though the Ancestral Beast was Lord-level, it didn¡¯t possess strongbat power in its initial state. It was purely a creature with high race value due to its potential to evolve.
If it couldn¡¯t evolve, the value of the Ancestral Beast would significantly decrease.
¡°It¡¯s not that it can¡¯t evolve, but rather that it will devolve.
Old Lady Fan sighed and said, ¡°Compared to others of its kind, this little fellow evolves more easily. It evolves almost as soon as ites into contact with energy of different attributes.¡±
As she said this, Old Lady Fan gave the Tree of Life a look. It immediately understood and infused a strand of Life Force into the Ancestral Beast. The Ancestral Beast immediately radiated dazzling Evolution Light.
Shortly after, the Evolution Light disappeared. The appearance of the Ancestral Beast had significantly changed.
[Name]: Wood Spirit
[Nature]: nt Attribute
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[introduction]: A spirit born in the forest, it is often active around ces with vitality such as the Tree of Life. It has a gentle nature and dislikes fighting. Damn, the speed of this evolution is even faster than the Evolution Egg! Bai Qi watched in astonishment as the Ancestral Beast, which had greatly changed its appearance right before him. Before he had a chance toment, the Wood Spirit radiated a burst of dark red light, its body gradually twisted and changed, and astonishingly reverted to the original form of the Ancestral Beast. After experiencing one evolution and one devolution, the state of the Ancestral Beast was clearly not good, but it seemed to have be ustomed to this state. Ignoring the Tree of Life¡¯s kind intention to heal it, it staggered wanting to leave.
This creature has quite the character!
¡°You see, this little guy can evolve, but it can hardly maintain the evolution for even a second. That¡¯s why previous Beast Masters who chose him all ended up returning him.¡±
Old Lady Fan sighed and said, ¡°So have you made your choice? Is it the Tree of Life or the Four-winged Dragon Griffin?¡±
¡°I choose the Ancestral Beast!¡±
¡°Hmm, not bad, your choice is¡ wait! What did you say you chose?
Old Lady Fan suddenly looked at Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Could you say that again? Bai Qi pointed at the Ancestral Beast and dered solemnly, ¡°I choose the Ancestral Beast!¡±
The Four-winged Dragon Griffin was good, but besides being dragon-blooded, it didn¡¯t attract Bai Qi much. The Tree of Life was indeed good, but he now had Nichs and the Green Dragon Scales. He didn¡¯t need the supplements as much now.
On the other hand, the Ancestral Beast, which evolves and then devolves, was an unbeatable talent!
As long as he could solve the problem of the short duration of evolution, if he contracted the Ancestral Beast, wasn¡¯t it equivalent to contracting countless kinds of pets?
This was simply a blessing for people having trouble deciding!
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have hurriedly contracted that stupid dog. If he had contracted the Ancestral Beast sooner, wouldn¡¯t he have had everything?
Oh no?
(Human, is it appropriate to think like this in front of me?)
Chapter 186 - 185: Endless Changing Beast - Delta
Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Endless Changing Beast ¨C Delta
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s solemn vow, Old Lady Fan¡¯s expression suddenly turned icy cold, a terrifying pressure descended on Bai Qi, directly toppling him to the ground. Seeing this, the Alpha trio immediately blocked Bai Qi, fully bearing Old Lady Fan¡¯s terrifying aura.
After seeing the appearance of the trio, Old Lady Fan suddenly retreated her pressure, saying, ¡°Then hurry up and take it, don¡¯t get in my way.¡± Bai Qi, who was dizzy from the unprovoked pressure, nodded nkly, then went to the Ancestral Beast, and said, ¡°Little guy, would you like toe with me?¡±
The Ancestral Beast lifted its head upon hearing his words. Its pair of pitch- ck eyes stared intently at Bai Qi for a long time, suddenly bursting with a radiant light, it nodded and abruptly jumped onto Bai Qi.
However, the Ancestral Beast obviously didn¡¯t control its strength well. Before Bai Qi could open his arms, it crashed into Bai Qi¡¯s abdomen, causing Bai Qi to roll his eyes and faint on the spot.
Even with only basic attributes, it¡¯s still a Lord-level creature. Indeed, no ordinary person can match Spirit¡¯ s physique.
Burp, Burp?
(Human, what happened to you? Wake up!)
Seeing Bai Qi suddenly faint, the Ancestral Beast was somewhat panicked, constantly rubbing Bai Qi¡¯s face with its head, whichpletely plunged Bai Qi, who was still somewhat conscious, into unconsciousness.
Creak, Creak.
(Is the boss okay?)
Howl-how!
(No problem, humans are tough, he won¡¯t die.)
Gurgle, Gurgle.
(But Gamma is still a little worried; shall we send him to Sir Nichs?)
Creak, Creak!
(Yes!)
Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Bai Qi slowly came around and saw a pair of giant vertical pupils right in front
of him as soon as he opened his eyes, staring intently at him.
Ffffu-caaht, was he surrounded by the ferocious beasts bred in the field?
Bai Qi instinctively crawled back a few steps, finally seeing clearly the owner of these vertical eyes ¨C it was the timid dragon Nichs, whom he hadn¡¯t seen for a long time.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re awake.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi waking up, Nichs finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, ¡°You have fought directly against a Lord-level creature, several of your ribs are broken, luckily the Green Dragon scales sensed my aura and brought you in, otherwise you wouldn¡¯t be able to move for a while.
Bai Qi gave a wry smile at his words and said, ¡°Indeed, I was beaten up by a
Lord-level creature. Thanks¡±
Nichs nodded and said, ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you say you were going to be out for a long time? Why did youe back so early?¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°There was a little ident, the task waspleted ahead of time.¡± Nichs looked Bai Qi up and down, saying, ¡°No wonder, I wondered why there was such a high consumption of my mother s scales.
¡°But, I see that your physique has greatly improved, is it reaching your current limit?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, after the feedback from the previous brutal extraction days, his physique could not be improved further, and the progress of the Evolution Egg had also risen to ioo¡ã/o.
The only limit seemed to be that his spirit power was a bitcking.
He desperately needed a quick way to train his spirit power¡
Bai Qi stood up, moved around a bit, and then remembered the culprit who had knocked him unconscious, the Ancestral Beast.
¡°Since I¡¯m here, the Alphas must have brought the Ancestral Beast back,
right?¡±
Bai Qi invested his spirit power into the Secret Space, and indeed saw the figure
of the Ancestral Beast.
However, the Ancestral Beast seemed to have not yet adapted to this totally new environment and was merely huddled in the corner, recovering the energy consumed from the previous failed evolution.
This little one, really unsociable.
Bai Qi nodded slightly and directly brought out the Ancestral Beast.
Burp, Burp!
The sudden change in their surroundings startled the Ancestral Beast. But upon seeing Bai Qi, it instantly became happy and dashed straight at him.
¡°Stop, stop, stop!¡±
Seeing the Ancestral Beast elerating, Bai Qi felt his ribs throb in pain and quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the Ancestral Beast.
Burp, Burp?
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s panicked expression, the Ancestral Beast was a little puzzled and felt a bit dejected looking at Bai Qi¡¯s panicked expression.
Indeed, there still weren¡¯t any humans willing to ept him, were there? Seeing that the Ancestral Beast was showing signs of shutting down, Bai Qi immediately coughed lightly, walked to the front of the Ancestral Beast and said, ¡°I¡¯m not some sort of legendary creature like Old Lady Fan. I can t withstand your charge, so next time, take it easy.¡±
The Ancestral Beast was startled, clearly unable to understand the difference between Bai Qi and Old Lady Fan.
However, since someone finally epted him, it was certainly willing to listen
to Bai Qi.
Seeing that the Ancestral Beast seemed to give up the idea of toppling him over, Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He simply couldn¡¯t withstand the assault from a Lord-level creature. Unless one day he could obtain the terrifying physique of a Godlike creature, he would have a chance to endure the Ancestral Beast¡¯s way of expressing joy.
¡°Hmm, Bai Qi, you have a new pet again? The little guy looks so cute. Nichs also took an interest in the Ancestral Beast, couldn¡¯t help but lean into the Ancestral Beast¡¯s face, and started to examine it. The giant dragon¡¯s aura was presented in front of the Ancestral Beast without any cover, and as expected, the Ancestral Beast evolved.
[Name]: Jade Dragon Python
[Nature]: Dragon
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Introduction]: A serpent infused with the bloodline of the Green Dragon. It likes to ambush its enemies by hiding in the trees. It possesses a paramount life force and can survive as long as its head remains intact.
¡°How¡ how has it turned into that giant insect?¡±
Looking at the drastically transformed Ancestral Beast in front of him, Nichs was obviously confused. Even more bewildering to him was that the Jade Dragon Python hadn¡¯t fully formed before it had reverted back to the form of the Ancestral Beast.
After two consecutive evolutions and devolutions, the condition of the Ancestral Beast worsened. It didn¡¯t even have the strength to stand, its limbs turned limp and it fell t onto the ground.
The frequency of this evolution and devolution was way too high, and it could barely move at all.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi slightly wrinkled his brow. He immediately summoned an Evolution Egg and enveloped the beast. He then crouched down and meditated to calm his mind.
Nichs, seeing this, didn¡¯t disturb him but quietly crouched and watched the Ancestral Beast¡¯s Silver Egg.
Although it was only for an instant, he had sensed a kinship from the Ancestral Beast. This made him feel extremelyfortable, more so than gardening, which put his mind at ease.
Soon, Bai Qi woke up from his meditation. At the same time, the Silver Egg of the Ancestral Beast hatched, and countless silvery energy whistled as it entered the Ancestral Beast¡¯s body, gradually repairing the hidden wounds on it.
Bloop, Bloop?
The Ancestral Beast felt the changes in its body and was somewhat surprised. Continual evolution and devolution had induced considerable damage to it, but it had forcibly endured it. Who would have thought that this human could so easily alleviate the damage?
Thinking of this, the Ancestral Beast¡¯s gaze toward Bai Qi softened, and instinctively it wanted to rush into Bai Qi¡¯s embrace.
¡°Stop! I can¡¯t use the Evolution Egg like you can.¡±
Bai Qi stretched out his hand to block the Ancestral Beast, then put his hand on its forehead and began to inspect its condition.
[Name]: Ancestral Beast
[Nature]: None
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Growth Level]: First Stage Nine Level
[Skills]: Savage Charge (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), Heart of Evolution (High-Level ¨C
Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 5000
[Condition]: Evolvable
The status board was so thin and pitiful. If it was not for the fact that the Evolution Egg could not make mistakes, Bai Qi would have suspected that this was the status board of a Servant Creature.
But a Perfect Level Savage Charge, could it be that this guy injured a Beast Master and therefore was returned?
Bai Qi looked at the Ancestral Beast, which was all in ck, like a small ck earth dragon, and said, ¡°Are you willing to try evolving again?¡± Upon hearing about evolution, the Ancestral Beast instinctively resisted a bit. However, when it thought of the strange ability Bai Qi had just used on it, it nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately took out the Green Dragon Scale and put it on top of the Ancestral Beast¡¯s head. After a brief dy, the Ancestral Beast was soon engulfed by the dazzling Evolution Light. When it appeared again, it had already transformed into a mini version of a Green Dragon.
[Name]: Jade Young Dragon
[Nature]: Dragon
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Monarch
Jade Young Dragon! It had directly transformed into a dragon!
Looking at the Ancestral Beast, which didn¡¯t immediately revert to its original state, Bai Qi was excited for a moment. But that excitementsted for a mere five seconds and then it vanished.
The Ancestral Beast devolved again.
This time, the Green Dragon Scale directly released life energy to help the Ancestral Beast recover. The Ancestral Beast seemed to thoroughly enjoy this sensation andy there motionless.
Even Mythical Resources could only sustain it for five seconds, no wonder this little fellow was returned.
Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brow, carefully inspecting the data of the Ancestral Beast.
Even though it wasn¡¯t a Mutant Species, the various attributes of the Ancestral Beast weren¡¯t weak at all, and it could be considered as bnced development. However, its Energy Value was pitifully low,pletely iparable to a creature about to reach the Second Stage of a Lord-level creature.
¡°Is it because of the scarcity of Energy Value, it is unable to sustain the consumption of intense evolution?¡±
After a moment of contemtion, Bai Qi conjured the Golden Armor Corpse from the Secret Space and had it ce its hand on the Ancestral Beast. The energy of the Golden Armor Corpse was much weaker than that of the Ancestral Beast. After quite a long time, the Ancestral Beast changed, transforming into a small creature enveloped entirely in metal. This time, the Ancestral Beast didn¡¯t immediately devolve like before. Instead, it managed to sustain the change for a full three minutes before eventually reverting back.
The first time it sustained an evolved state for so long, the Ancestral Beast was clearly taken aback. Upon seeing the Six Armored Corpses that Bai Qi had summoned one after another, it actively approached them.
¡°Indeed, a high-level energy atmosphere allows the Ancestral Beast to evolve into a more powerful form. However, its attribute value remains at its original state, hence it¡¯s unable to sustain the change and immediately devolves.¡± Bai Qi patted the Ancestral Beast¡¯s head. It seems like this thing isn¡¯t unable to evolve, but instead, it can¡¯t fully evolve. Only by evolving into a form that is not higher or even lower than its current Bloodline Level can it barely hold on a bit longer.
Inparison to other Ancestral Beasts, this condition can indeed be considered handicapped.
However, to him, this was the best talent¡
After evolving and then devolving, doesn¡¯t it mean that this Ancestral Beast can evolve at will ording to the need?
It¡¯s merely raising the attribute value, which is the simplest thing for the Evolution Egg.
¡°From today onwards, you are my, Bai Qi¡¯s, pet. I will call you Delta.
Endless changes, it seems like it was fated¡

Green Dragon Secret Realm.
A ck griffon was circling rapidly in the sky, it was indeed Delta who had evolved into Gale Wing.
However, he clearly hadn¡¯t mastered the skill of flight, fluttering up and down in the air, as if he could fall down at any moment.
Nevertheless, Delta was still joyous.
But such a state didn¡¯tst long. A dark red light shone from Delta¡¯s body and he transformed back into the form of the Ancestral Beast and descended from the sky.
Upon seeing this, Alpha skillfully released a whirlwind, supporting Delta and bringing him in front of Bai Qi.
¡°A wind attribute low-level lord form, itsted for five minutes, still not enough to act as a flying mount.¡±
Bai Qi quickly recorded Delta¡¯s evolutionary duration time on the electronic board in his hand. Looking at Delta, who was still excited, he sighed helplessly. He had originally hoped that the Evolution Egg could forcibly evolve the Ancestral Beast. Indeed, it did evolve, but it onlysted a little while longer before de-evolving once again.
Wind attribute, thunder attribute, fire attribute, electric attribute¡
None involving energy transfer were able to be retained within Delta
Even the Evolution Egg couldn¡¯t bend this rule, Delta was truly an anomaly in the pet evolution world.
It s lucky that he did not need to concoctplicated recipes like others do. If some stubbornpetitor directly shoved a heap of high-level materials inside, there wouldn¡¯t even be a ce for them to cry.
However, it wasn¡¯t as if he didn¡¯t gain anything.
Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head, closely sensing his changes.
[Name]: Ancestral Beast
[Nature]: None
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Growth Level]: Second with three stages
[Skills]: Savage Charge (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect), Heart of Evolution (High-Level ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 41000
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡°Besides those of the special attributes like space and spirit that haven¡¯t been tried yet, only the effects of attributeless materials have been preserved.¡± Attributeless materials, mostly only strengthened fundamental base values like strength, speed, and physique. Apart frombat system beasts, they are generally used as auxiliary materials for beast evolution.
However, from those materials Bai Qi had tried, this was the only material that could retain its effect on Delta.
And the effect was thereby to raise Delta¡¯s level by four in two days, greatly increasing his energy value. The same bloodline level evolution-like states, such as Gale Wing, could now be maintained for about five minutes.
This matched what he had initially guessed when he chose the Ancestral Beast. As long as the base values of the Ancestral Beast¡¯s original state are gutted out, the duration of the evolution can also be correspondingly prolonged.
However, it was unknown whether it was because of the iplete evolution that Delta, regardless of what form he evolved into, besides physical innate talents like flying, didn¡¯t understand half the skills.
Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head, saying: ¡°Before confirming that special attribute materials are also ineffective for you, I¡¯ll train you as abat beast.¡±
Plop Plop!
Although there was no contract yet, Delta, after all, was already a Lord creature, so he understood Bai Qi¡¯s words. After affectionately cuddling Bai Qi¡¯s leg, he ran to the side to practice Savage Charge against a cliff.
Woo?
(Human, this guy doesn¡¯t look smart. Are you sure you want to form a contract with him?)
Beta looked at Delta, who was continuously head-butting the cliff, and quietly distanced himself from Delta.
Stupidity is infectious, this dog should stay away from him.
¡°No problem, though Delta seems weak now, he won¡¯t be inferior to you as he continues to train, as for being smart or not¡¡±
Bai Qi pointed to himself, saying: ¡°As long as this Beast Master is clever, it¡¯s enough.¡±
Woof Woof!
(Human, you¡¯re bing more shameless.)
Rumble¡
Just then, the cliff suddenly copsed, and countless rubble directly buried Delta who wasn¡¯t able to dodge it. Before Bai Qi could let Alpha go and rescue him, Delta crawled out from the rubble and picked another cliff to continue practicing.
He doesn¡¯t seem that weak¡
Nichs, whose den was destroyed, didn¡¯t use Delta, but instead squeezed next to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, can you leave this little fellow here with me? I guarantee I¡¯ll fatten him up.¡±
Fatten him up?
Bai Qi looked at Delta who was covered in ck, his eye twitching slightly.
A bit fat is okay, but turning him white? Are you nning to turn him into a different species altogether?
Despite hisints, Bai Qi did leave Delta with Nichs.
The Dragon Blood Grass of the Green Dragon Secret Realm was very helpful to enhance physique and other aspects, and Delta¡¯s current biggest problem was his energy value. It was definitely good if Nichs was willing to help.
¡°Next, I should go to the Holy Relic Tower to buy some attributeless materials and check the stuff that can quickly improve spirit power.¡±
Holy Relic Tower.
As soon as Bai Qi stepped in front of the Holy Relic Tower, he saw Yi Xiaowei already waiting there.
Although you could also purchase from the association¡¯s intr, and they even offered home delivery, there were too many types of attributeless materials, with effects that were very simr, so Bai Qi directly contacted Yi Xiaowei to help him choose.
Each has its specialty. Professional matters should be handled by professionals. He certainly wouldn¡¯ t admit that he had set his sights on a discount Yi Xiaowei mentioned.
Yi Xiaowei came to Bai Qi, smiling, ¡°You finally showed up. Zhou Yan and the others have been looking for you a crazytely.¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Looking for me? What have I done recently?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion and didn¡¯t dwell on it. Yi Xiaowei didn¡¯t want to continue the topic either and said, ¡°I heard from Old Lady Fan when I was delivering supplies a few days ago that you chose the Ancestral Beast that couldn¡¯t evolve?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Old Lady Fan, who seemed stern, turned out to be a gossip?
Appearances can be deceiving¡
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s confirmation, Yi Xiaowei urgently advised, ¡°Although it¡¯s not very fair to the little guy, I suggest you switch to another one. As long as there isn¡¯t a contract, Old Lady Fan allows exchanges.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand and said, ¡°Thank you, but I think it¡¯s fine. There¡¯s no need to switch.¡±
Yi Xiaowei paused, suddenly thought of something, and said, ¡°The attributeless materials you asked me to find can¡¯t be for it, are you nning to train it into the Combat System?¡±
¡°Uh, you could say that.¡±
Although Delta could temporarily maintain its evolved form, aside from the passive talent that came with its evolutionary form, it only had one ability, Savage Charge. Calling it the Combat System wasn¡¯t wrong.
¡°Combat System, I actually haven¡¯t heard of anyone raising an Ancestral Beast into the Combat System. Maybe your approach will work.¡±
People who chose to contract with Ancestral Beasts usually aimed for various shy evolutionary forms. Who would pick an Ancestral Beast for serious fights?
The two of them went into the Holy Relic Tower together, passed straight through the hall, and arrived at Yi Xiaowei¡¯s personalboratory.
Contrary to Bai Qi¡¯s expectation of an eerie, dark wizard style, Yi Xiaowei¡¯sb was surprisingly tidy.
The dissection area, cultivation area, testing area¡
Each area had clear functions, everything was distinctly allocated, looking like a state-of-the-art biological researchb.
You told me before that you wanted attributeless materials. I¡¯ve selected some for you, but since you n to train the Ancestral Beast into the Combat System, you¡¯ll have to choose some other ones.¡±
Yi Xiaowei sat in front of theputer and after operating for a while, she quickly pulled up the data for six kinds of materials.
[Name]: Ant ws of Herculean Ant
[Level]: Epic
[Description]: The most powerful part of the Herculean Ant, used with other materials it can enhance the power of the pet beast.
[Name]: Thick Rhinoceros Hide
[Level]: Epic
[Description]: Years of fighting have given the rhinoceros a strong defense, used with other materials it can enhance the defense of a pet beast.
[Name]: Twin-Headed Shark Fin
[Level]: Epic
[Description]: The essence of the Twin-Headed Shark, it can greatly enhance the power of a pet beast.
[Name]: Spirit Stone Milk
[Level]: Epic
[Description]: A rare product found only in vibrant ces, it can enhance the constitution of a pet beast to a great extent, increasing energy values.
[Name]: Green Sky Grass
[Level]: Epic
[Description): A nt said to be formed from the blood of a divine beast, used with auxiliary materials it can increase the reaction speed of a pet beast.
[Name]: Lighthouse Jellyfish Tentacles
[Level]: Epic
[Description]: It has a strong self-repairing ability. Used with auxiliary materials, it can enhance the recovery ability of a pet beast.
Yi Xiaowei said, ¡°I understand the situation with that little guy. These that I¡¯ve picked out are basically for purely raising your base attributes. It shouldn¡¯t trigger his evolution, but you still need to be careful when choosing supplementary materials.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Even Combat System creatures were more or less imbued with some attribute energy, which was one of the reasons Bai Qi had asked Yi Xiaowei to make his selections.
Bai Qi, pointing at the six materials on the screen, said, ¡°Get me each of these for now. If I need moreter, I¡¯ll contact you.¡±
The prices of Epic Materials were naturally high. Still, bolstered by the endorsement money and the core patents, Bai Qi¡¯s ount was just about able to handle it.
A mere twenty million or so was just pocket change¡
As for the special series, they were basically Mythical Materials. They required towermaster¡¯s approval, and one couldn¡¯t buy them even with money, so Bai Qi had given up.
¡°Alright.¡±
Yi Xiaowei nodded, ced an order for Bai Qi, then pulled up a new interface, filled entirely with various potions.
There¡¯s no potion that directly enhances Spirit Power as you mentioned. At most, there are temporary ones. Those have substantial side effects, which I wouldn¡¯t really rmend. So, I¡¯ve picked out some potions for you that enhance the effects of meditation.¡±
Yi Xiaowei pointed at a potion on the screen, saying, ¡°However, it¡¯s likely that you people taking part in the training camp don¡¯t have much time to meditate. Therefore, I suggest you pick this Phantom Spirit Potion.¡±
¡°Just drink a bottle before sleep, and it¡¯ll let you immerse yourself in a dreand. The effect on enhancing Spirit Power is two to three times the usual meditation.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes brightened at these words. Two to three times the meditation effect,bined with the bonus from the Evolution Egg over-exercising his physique, he could reach the Four Stage in no time.
¡°However, you can¡¯t drink this too frequently. Otherwise, the potion effect could easily lead to hallucinations and cause some damage to your body.¡± Hearing Yi Xiaowei¡¯s words, the smile on Bai Qi¡¯s face froze. He suspiciously looked at the Phantom Spirit Potion, ¡°Are you sure this isn¡¯t some sort of banned drug?¡±
Could it cause hallucinations and harm the body? Wouldn¡¯t he be arrested for drinking this potion?
Yi Xiaoweiughed at his question, immediately exining, ¡°Haha¡ indeed the name seems a bit¡ however, don¡¯t worry. The Phantom Spirit Potion is made from Dream Vine flower powder. It merely induces dreand, not a hallucinogenic drug.¡±
You make it sound even weirder¡
Bai Qi silentlyined internally, but he still followed Yi Xiaowei¡¯s advice and bought one to test first.
Yi Xiaowei paused, saying, ¡°Actually, potions and such are not a long-term solution. If you want to enhance your Spirit Power over the long term, your best bet would be an artifact of the Spirit ss.¡±
¡°Spirit ss artifact?¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi paused, then quickly understood.
He had only thought about enhancing his Spirit Power with potions and hadpletely forgotten about artifacts.
But I mainly handle materials. I¡¯m not an expert in artifacts, and they¡¯re not readily avable. If you want one, I can help you keep an eye out.¡± Although the Holy Relic Tower managed both resources and artifacts, they had different departments.
¡°That would be much appreciated.¡±
This type of enhancing potion was not like God¡¯s Water, a supplement that you could use a lot of without developing tolerance. If he could have an artifact with simr effects, it would naturally be the best.
Perhaps, it might also help with Rune Tier 2 Evolution.
Because it happened within the Holy Relic Tower, Bai Qi¡¯s ordered items were delivered quickly. Impatient to go back and try them, he didn¡¯t stay long. After asking Yi Xiaowei about precautions, he quickly left.
¡°Bai Qi? What are you doing here?¡±
Xiao Yuan, who had just entered through the door, saw Bai Qi leaving in a hurry and asked curiously.
¡°Buying some materials.¡±
Bai Qi looked up and saw it was Xiao Yuan, which was also unexpected. He said,
¡°Xiao Yuan, are you also here to buy materials?¡±
Xiao Yuan nodded, ¡°The first month¡¯s test scores are out. I n to exchange some for resources to enhance my pet beast.¡±
¡°The scores are out?¡±
Bai Qi was startled and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you nning on saving your points for Mythical Resources?¡±
Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°You really don¡¯t know anything, do you?¡± At Xiao Yuan¡¯s words, Bai Qi was increasingly bemused, while Xiao Yuan didn¡¯t bother exining. He simply brought up the score ranking from the first test. ¡°Aside from you, the highest score among us is about tok points. Clearly, it is not practical to try to umte enough points for Mythical Resources. It¡¯s more sensible to struggle for rank.¡±
Moreover,paratively, I prefer to prioritize exchanging resources to enhance the strength of my pet beast. Although the progress is slower, it¡¯s safer.¡±
Understanding dawned on Bai Qi. This was very fitting with Xiao Yuan¡¯s consistent style ¨C steadiness. After all, even if you got Mythical Resources, it wasn¡¯t easy to use them.
Different pet beasts needed different evolution recipes, and the supplementary materials needed would not be ordinary. Even if one exchanged for them, they could not quickly manifest fighting power.
¡°A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.¡±

Trantor: 549690339
Thinking of how he could use the Evolution Egg to perfectly absorb the characteristics of various materials without any form, Bai Qi once again felt extremely lucky.
Whether it was ten birds or a thousand, as long as he saw them, he would directly stew and eat them, why would he keep them in his hand?
But his points were a little too exaggerated. He seemed to have only over eight thousand points before he left, how did it suddenly increase by ten thousand? Could it be hush money from Luo Xiang?
It must be.
Thinking about Luo Xiang¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi immediately confirmed this.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s surprised look, Xiao Yuan also smiled helplessly and said, ¡°You really don¡¯t care about anything beyond your own world, have you not looked at your badge since you came back?¡±
Bai Qi responded somewhat awkwardly while scratching his head, ¡°I¡¯ve been in the Green Dragon Secret Realm for the past two days, so I didn¡¯t notice.¡±
¡°The Green Dragon Secret Realm? That would exin it.¡±
Xiao Yuan nodded, acknowledging that summoning a legendary giant dragon would certainly require one¡¯s undivided attention. If he had infuriated it, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape unscathed.
¡°I heard from my grandfather that you went to the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm with Instructor Luo? Seems like you gained quite a bit. ording to your current speed of earning points, you might be able to exchange them for a legendary resource,¡±
Xiao Yuan looked deeply at Bai Qi and continued, ¡°But you should be prepared, as there are a few people who aren¡¯t too happy with you.¡±
¡°Ah¡ thanks.¡±
Although Xiao Yuan didn¡¯t specify who it was, Bai Qi knew it was certainly Zhou Yan and Bai Yuxiao.
¡°I have to select resources now, so I won¡¯t talk with you any further. Remember not to bete for the second round of training tomorrow.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and then hurriedly walked out of the Holy Relic Tower.
He never thought that just going out once would earn him so many points, he needed to rush to enhance the power of his pets, and try to take on more external tasks for more points in the future.
¡°That guy, he¡¯s still as impatient as ever.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s manner, Xiao Yuan shook his head with a smile, then turned and entered the Holy Relic Tower.
I need to increase my power as soon as possible. If I lose to Bai Qi in the final assessment, grandfather will be angry again.
The Green Dragon Secret Realm.
As soon as Bai Qi arrived, Delta, who had sensed his presence, immediately stopped his training and eagerly pounced towards Bai Qi¡¯s embrace.
¡°Stop, stop, stop!¡±
Seeing Delta¡¯s response, Bai Qi immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hastily summoned Gamma to guard in front of him, thus avoiding a trip to the ICU.
When he advanced to the Four Stage and formally contracted Delta, he would definitely have to teach him how to express affection. Otherwise, he was very doubtful he could survive until the day he became a Legendary Beast Master.
Delta seemed to realize his own impropriety and politely kept a slight distance from Bai Qi.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. He crouched down and patted Delta¡¯s smooth head, thenid out the six resources he had just bought in front of Delta, saying, ¡°You can choose to absorb whichever one you want first.¡±
Although Alpha had learned a super grade skill by merging two materials at the same time, Delta was very special, so he needed to see which material would offer the greatest improvement for Delta.
Prulu prulu?
Delta obviously hadn¡¯t experienced this before, but obediently approached the materials and began carefully sniffing them. In the end, he stopped in front of the Green Sky Grass.
¡°Green Sky Grass? Prioritizing the enhancement of reaction speed is not a bad idea.¡±
Seeing Delta¡¯s choice, Bai Qi was a bit surprised but didn¡¯t object. He put away the other materials and ced Delta into the Silver Egg.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s try this Phantom Spirit Potion now.¡±
Bai Qi opened the packaging box, took out a bottle of Phantom Spirit Potion, and upon seeing the colorful solution inside the ss bottle, he nodded.
Regardless of the effect, at least the appearance definitely scored top marks, fitting the name ¡°Phantom.¡±
Bai Qi uncapped the bottle and drank the entire bottle of Phantom Spirit Potion in one gulp, only to suddenly turn pale and faint.
This taste¡ did those who made this potion have a grudge with Beast Masters¡
Eight hourster, Bai Qi woke up on time, feeling refreshed and full of energy. Sensing carefully, his spirit power had indeed increased quite a bit.
¡°Although the taste is a bit bitter, the effect is really good.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Phantom Spirit Potion in his hand satisfactorily, nning to buy some more from Yi Xiaowei.
¡°Where¡¯s Delta? He should have finished absorbing it.¡±
Bai Qi put away the potion, took a look around, and found Delta training with Alpha and Nichs. The training program was to dodge attacks.
¡°He even knows how to choose his own training program, are all Lord-level creatures this smart?¡±
Seeing Delta dodging Alpha¡¯s sword de attacks constantly, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. Before he went over to check, Alpha noticed Bai Qi¡¯s waking state first, and stopped.
G g.
(Boss, you¡¯re awake.)
¡°Yeah, how¡¯s training with Delta going?¡¯
G g.
(His reaction speed has increased quite a bit from before, but it¡¯s still not enough. If he encounters an agile enemy, he might be at a disadvantage.)
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly. As the team¡¯s strong offensive hand, Alpha¡¯sbat intuition was quite strong. He trusted Alpha¡¯s judgment.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since the effect is good, wait until he¡¯s finished absorbing it, then I¡¯ll buy more toe back. The data can always be increased.¡±

Chapter 190: Chapter 187: Ancestral Beast? Gold- swallowing Beast! (Part 2)
Trantor: 549690339
Until he found a way to permanently sustain Delta¡¯s evolution, Delta probably had to rely on closebat for a while, which meant upgrading all aspects of his data.
Did he worry about insufficient battle power?
Just thinking about some invincible bald guy who only does basic attacks, Bai Qi felt no concern.
Click and tter.
(Boss, Delta haspletely absorbed the materials you gave him.)
¡°Completely absorbed?¡±
Bai Qi blinked his eyes, saying, ¡°Has Delta already evolved?¡±
Alpha shook its head, and before it could exin, Nichs grumbled from the side, ¡°Bai Qi, could you be any more stingy? How is one de of grass enough to eat?¡±
As he was saying this, Nichs grabbed a handful of Dragon Blood Grass from the side and put it directly in front of Delta, his eyes full of doting.
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly, remembering how a certain dragon had also offered him grass in the past. Even if the Dragon Blood Grass was not ordinary grass, it was still grass.
Moreover, big brother, you are a male dragon, could you stop emitting such a motherly glow?
¡°He manages to digest epic-level materials in one go, this gut is really good.¡±
Patting Delta on the head, Bai Qi suddenly felt his bank bnce might not hold.
This wasn¡¯t an ancestral beast, but a gold-swallowing beast!
Indeed, ughtering ferocious beasts to gather materials was more efficient, although it was bit troublesome. So, it was better to find some ways to increase ie.
It seemed that he needed to hurry andplete the rune tier 2 evolution. By then, he could apply for some patents again.
¡°Hm, isn¡¯t today the start of the second round of training?¡±
Just as Bai Qi was about to use another resource on Delta, he suddenly remembered something. Looking at the time, it was already the next morning.
¡°Aw crap, I hope it¡¯s not Lecturer Frost teaching the ss, or I¡¯ll be penalized again.¡±
Bai Qi swore softly, quickly picked a resource, gave Delta another egg, and then left the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
After Bai Qi left, Nichsy cautiously in front of the Silver Egg, obviously with the intention to guard it well.
The Assembly Hall.
The young Beast Masters gathered early in the hall, waiting for Zhang Shan to announce the second round of training activities. However, everybody¡¯s gaze unconsciously drifted towards the entrance.
Zhou Yan nced at the deserted road outside and said, ¡°Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t n to skip Teacher Zhang¡¯s ss too, would he?¡±
¡°Even if he iste, that should be okay, right? Didn¡¯t Teacher Zhang say before that Bai Qi can be exempted from the practical course?¡±
Bai Yuxiao picked at her ear and said, ¡°But that guy really is a bit too much, he has been back for so long, but hasn¡¯t shown his face.¡±
¡°I heard there might be some changes in the second round of training. It seems like all the subjects will be integrated, and so the exemption from the practical course might be invalidated, right?¡±
Bai Qiucha looked worried and said, ¡°Shall I go look for him? In case it¡¯s some sort of long-term training, it would be a pity if he missed it.¡±
¡°That should not be necessary. I reminded him yesterday when I met him.¡±
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, ¡°It looks like he has been with that legendary giant dragon for thest few days. He might have been called there again.¡±
At that moment, Bai Qi finally appeared at the entrance of the assembly hall, and Zhang Shan who had remained silent on the stage finally spoke up, stating, ¡°You arete by two minutes and thirty-four seconds, I¡¯ve already deducted it from your points.¡±
Bai Qi, who had not yet caught his breath, became rigid. Since when did training include a point deduction? Were they really not going to let them exchange points for mythical-level materials?
No, from now on, he had to ce the entry and exit points of the Green Dragon Secret Realm in the assembly hall, and then set hundreds of rm clocks. Otherwise, his points would eventually be deducted.
Bai Qi muttered to himself internally, but still obediently returned to his seat.
¡± Instructor Leng had something to take care of, so I¡¯ 11 be temporarily acting as the head instructor, and taking care of things rted to your second round of concentrated training,¡± Zhang Shan announced.
Zhang Shan¡¯s gaze swept over the young Beast Masters in the hall and continued, ¡°The second round of assessment will not be split into subject-teaching like before. Instead,prehensive teaching will be adopted. Scores will be added or subtracted based on your performance, once points hit zero, you will be directly eliminated from the training.
¡°So, prepare yourselves mentally.¡±
As Zhang Shan spoke, there was an immediatemotion in the hall, and Bai Qi looked utterly enlightened.
No wonder Xiao Yuan had rushed to exchange his materials, so there was such a strategy.
To facilitate the ranking system, after exchanging for points, you still retained your historical points. However, if these were deducted, you would genuinely lose them. If you were deducted all your points, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to exchange them for a de of grass.
Insider information!
Xiao Yuan must have known some insider information in advance, or else he couldn¡¯t have timed it so perfectly.
¡°Quiet!¡±
Seeing the hubbub below, Zhang Shan¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. He said, ¡°If anyone here feels they can¡¯t endure, you can leave right now. If you think you can, shut your mouths.¡±
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent immediately. It wouldn¡¯t be worth it to get eliminated in this second round after passing the first hurdle.
Plus, the effectiveness of the intensive training was indeed significant. Even if they lost all their points, they would only lose some materials, but the gains far outweighed the losses.
Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s eyes became firm, and no one thought about leaving.
Seeing this, Zhang Shan nodded approvingly and continued, ¡°Well then, I will announce the new content for the first phase of the second round of intensive training.¡±
¡°Point contention battle!¡±
At Zhang Shan¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s hearts thumped.
A point contention battle, do they intend to strip uspletely of our right to skate by?
Indeed, as predicted, Zhang Shan started exining the detailed rules for the point contention battle in everyone¡¯s shocked eyes.
¡°The battle starts with a base score of a hundred points. Challenges within five ranks up or down are considered normal challenges ¨C the loser pays the winner too points. If the gap is wider, the lower-ranked gains doubled points while the higher-ranked loses points, with the multiplier increasing ording to the extent of the disparity.¡±
¡°Our instructors will assign two people every day for the point contention battle. The rest of the time, each student has three opportunities for personal challenges every week, and correspondingly, only three chances to be challenged.¡±
¡°Personal challenges must be proposed face to face, and higher-rankedpetitors cannot refuse challenges from those ranked lower.¡±
Zhang Shan nced around the room, ¡°Did you understand?¡±
Everyone was silent, digesting the rules of the point contention battle while Bai Qi and the others understood immediately what the Association was hinting.
A challenge to a higher rank would receive additional points, a challenge to a lower rank would cause a loss of points, and those ranked higher could not refuse challenges from those ranked lower.
This was clearly encouraging them to challenge those ranked higher!
Thinking of this, Bai Qi suddenly felt a bit helpless.
He was now in first ce, with no hope of benefiting from imposing challenges. On the other hand¡
Everyone in here who could be considered easypetition had rankings beyond the tenth ce. Even challenging them probably wouldn¡¯t yield much profit anymore.
On the contrary, if someone challenged him¡ Oh, the advantages they would gain.
As for those in the top ten¡
Haha, a group of Four Stage Beast Masters ¨C if they took the fight seriously, it would be a tough battle.
Then he suddenly realized ¨C he seemed to have be the biggest piece of meat?
Bai Qi had just thought of this when he noticed several nces directed at him. Among them were the battle -eager Zhou Yan and Bai Yuxiao.
¡°Second Boss, don¡¯t me me for not having brotherly loyalty. I am now ranked 15th. If I challenge you, I get three times the points¡¡±
Zhou Yan red maliciously at Bai Qi, clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with the desire for battle. If not for Zhang Shan¡¯s presence, he would probably have already challenged Bai Qi.
¡°Bai Qi, I apologize in advance.¡±
Xiao Yuan shrugged slightly apologetically, Bai Qiucha wore the same expression, while Li Mu was eager to try.
Looking at the top ten, only Lu Qing remained indifferent, expressing evidently that she was not interested in the point contention battle.
Seeing everyone¡¯s enthusiasm, Zhang Shan¡¯s lips twitched in a grin that was soon concealed.
¡°Ahem, let me announce today¡¯s designated challengers for the point contention battle.¡±
Zhang Shan paused, his gaze sweeping over Bai Qi, and said, ¡°Bai Qi versus Gu Shan.¡±

Upon hearing Zhang Shan¡¯s announcement of thepetition, everyone was startled, and Zhou Yan and others were regretful.
It turns out that they had been beaten out by Gu Shan. This would be the third challenge of the week, and it was anyone¡¯s guess who would challenge them next after missing this one.
Gu Shan was also clearly surprised that he had been chosen for the first point-scoring battle, but on hearing that his opponent was Bai Qi, he was faintly excited.
Did he finally have the chance to wipe out a past disgrace?
¡°Gu Shan, ranked 26th in points, the multiplier adjusted to five times. At the same time, Gu Shan has the right to choose the mode ofbat.¡±
Zhang Shan looked at Gu Shan and said, ¡°Gu Shan, please choose between team battle or individual battle.¡±
¡°Team battle!¡±
Without any hesitation, Gu Shan chose the most advantageous mode ofbat for him. Although he had be a lot stronger, he admitted that he could not defeat Bai Qi in an individual battle.
After all, whether it was the skeleton or the mechanical double-headed dog, they were no longer ordinary pets at the same level.
Zhang Shan nodded at his words and patted a rune on the wooden door All the students were instantly teleported to the arena, and Bai Qi and Gu Shan were already in their battle positions in the arena.
Looking at Bai Qiucha and others gathered on the stands, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
Did high-scoring people have no rights at all? Winning resulted in fewer points, losing meant double deductions, and now he didn¡¯t even have the right to choose his battle?
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, the point multiplier was adjusted to five times Even if he won, he could only get 20 points, which was not even worth a piece of grass. How unmotivated he was¡
Thinking of this, Bai Qi waived to Zhang Shan and said, ¡°Teacher Zhang can I raise the stakes?¡±
Zhang Shan shook his head and said, ¡°You cannot in a teacher-designatedpetition, but you can in a personal challenge, as long as it does not exceed five hundred.¡±
He couldn¡¯t exceed five hundred? Then there was no point.
Bai Qi suddenly lost interest, but when he saw Gu Shan¡¯s serious expression, he quickly adjusted his mindset and summoned all his three pets.
Now that the fight had begun, he should take it seriously. Plus, he wanted to see how much Gu Shan had improved.
Three summoning spells, Gu Shan had also advanced to the third tier.
Seeing Bai Qi summon his pets first, Gu Shan did not dawdle, and six arrays lit up on the field at the same time, obviously summoning six pets directly.
In addition to the previously contracted Emerald Snake, Golden Pupil Cat, Water Cannon Turtle, and zing Bird, there were two new pets, their auras obviously much stronger.
[Name]: Scale Armor Beast
[Nature]: Earth Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: A pet living on the in, it is gentle and does not like fighting, to the point that even a starving aggressive beast does not bear to harm it. But once enraged, it can cause the ground to shake.
[Name]: me-winged Snake
[Nature]: Fire attribute
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: A giant snake soaring through the sky, it causes invisible fires to fall wherever it goes. It has a very explosive temper.
¡°He contracted two lord-level creatures as soon as he reached tier three? How extravagant!¡±
Thinking about the effort he put into training Alpha and Husky to lord-level, then thinking about Gamma who had not yet ascended to the lord-level, Bai Qi suddenly had a surge of resentment, which then transformed into a full-on fighting spirit.
¡®Huh, why did Bai Qi suddenly be spirited?¡±
The change in Bai Qi naturally caught the eyes of Bai Qiucha and others, leaving them exchanging puzzled looks.
¡°Why do I feel that this is out of resentment¡¡±
Adjusting her sses, Lu Qing pin-pointed Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts urately, but was immediately rejected by Bai Qiucha.
¡°Bai Qi¡¯s development path is smoother than Gu Shan¡¯s, it won¡¯t be that bad. I think, he should be respecting his opponent.¡±
Bai Qiucha said, ¡°Gu Shan¡¯s Elemental Resonance Talentbined with these two lord -level creatures can produce significantbat power.¡±
Bai Yuxiao curiously asked, ¡°But doesn¡¯t the association only give one lord-level pet? Where did he get the other one?¡±
¡°I heard that the chairman of their Lingxi City personally sent it to him. He was worried that Gu Shan would contract another pet randomly, so he took care of it directly.¡±
Zhou Yan, who knew Gu Shan¡¯s situation very well, briefly exined, ¡°Beast Control Space enhancementbined with the Elemental Resonance Dual Talent, and now he has ascended to tier three, six against three, he might have a chance to defeat Bai Qi.¡±
¡°I don¡¯tthinkso.¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately denied it. ¡°The first two pets of Bai Qi are much stronger than their peers, and the third one, Poison Devouring Monster, is also quite unique. Although Gu Shan¡¯s Elemental Resonance is powerful, it takes time to unfold, but in that time, Bai Qi could have already defeated his opponent.¡±
Zhou Yan scrunched up his mouth and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his face. ¡°Then, shall we make a bet? How about we bet on points?¡± ¡°Sorry, I used up all my points yesterday.¡±
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly, clearly showing no interest in participating. The other few people alsocked interest, focusing all their attention on the two people in the arena.
¡°Boring.¡±
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Zhou Yan also got bored and began to watch the battle between the two.
¡°Are both sides ready?¡±
¡°Ready.¡±
¡°Then, let thepetition begin!¡±
As soon as Zhang Shan finished speaking, Gu Shan made the first move The lord-level Scale Armor Beast stomped heavily on the ground, immediately causing the ground of the arena to harden.
He had been frightened by the explosive cage of Alpha and the Husky before. His first move was to reinforce the ground?
Chapter 192 - 188: Shocking the Entire Audience (Third Update)—2
Chapter 192: Chapter 188: Shocking the Entire Audience (Third Update)¡ª2
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing Gu Shan¡¯s move, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
It¡¯s said that the quiet ones hold a grudge the longest, and it seemed to be true.
However, Alpha didn¡¯t need the explosive jailbreak to interrupt Gu Shan¡¯s elemental fusion technique now.
¡°Alpha, Schuck, Beta, Gamma, take them out with all your might!¡±
Because of certain grudges, Bai Qi directly signaled the three pets to go all out, and they fully understood Bai Qi¡¯smand, releasing their own momentum without restriction.
The powerful aura conveyed by Dragon Power and Demonic Roar spread unreservedly around them, affecting not only Gu Shan¡¯s six pets but even people like Bai Qiucha outside the field felt this terrifying pressure.
However, Gu Shan¡¯s newly contracted twin pets also quickly reacted, releasing their own lordly pressure to fight back.
The other four pets were still elites; if they couldn¡¯t resist this kind of pressure, they wouldn¡¯t be able to unleash muchbat power.
However, it was clear that neither the Dragon Power nor the Demonic Roar were anything ordinary intimidation could counter; a defeat appeared imminent after only a brief resistance.
Upon seeing this, Gu Shan immediately altered his tactics, still keeping the two lord creatures in the forefront, and then mobilized the remaining four pets tounch an elemental fusion attack.
But this time it was not a four-element fusion, but a two-by-two fusion.
The Emerald Snake, Golden Pupil Cat, Water Cannon Turtle, and zing Bird stood on either side of the lord creatures. Theypleted the elemental fusion almost instantly andunched their attacks on Alpha and Husky.
¡°Because the number of fusion partners has decreased, the fusion speed has also increased? The power doesn¡¯t seem weak either.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly but still showed no sign of panic.
If that were all they had, they still weren¡¯t enough to stand up against the three pets.
Indeed, seeing the four pets attack him, Alpha didn¡¯t even bother defending with the Ice Crystal Barrier but instead manipted the Withering Sword to sh towards the iing elemental bursts with the intention of countering offense with offense!
¡°Isn¡¯t Bai Qi being too risky with this approach?¡±
As one who had trained with Gu Shan the most, Zhou Yan was not quite optimistic about Alpha¡¯s coping strategy. After all, she herself wasn¡¯t very willing to face Gu Shan¡¯s elemental attack head on.
But before she could continue her critique, she saw that the Withering Sword had indeed split the energy-formed elemental bursts into two.
¡°Is that even possible?¡±
Zhou Yan watched in astonishment as Alpha easily neutralized Gu Shan¡¯s attack. It was evident she hadn¡¯t expected this oue, and upon seeing how Husky neutralized the attack, she was even more bbergasted.
Whoooo!
(Gamma, your defense is getting stronger and stronger, quite good.)
Chomp chomp.
(Thanks, this energy tastes delicious, Gamma wants more.)
Watching Husky use Etherium Liquid Gold to stiffen his defenses not just wasn¡¯t enough, but he even pulled Gamma in to act as an additionalyer of defense, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Without a doubt, the one controlling the body now must be that thing Beta.
But it was indeed the best choice.
Gu Shan was also surprised that Bai Qi had so easily neutralized his attack, but he had also achieved his goal of interrupting the intimidation. The four pets continued their offensive without stopping,unching attacks on Bai Qi¡¯s three pets like a rapid-fire cannon.
He gave up the destructive power of fusing multiple elements in exchange for increased fusion speed and attack frequency, and because of the level increase of the four pets, the power of the elemental bursts also increased.
Plus, if he wanted to, he couldter fuse the four pets and evenunch a fatal blow with six pets fusion.
In retrospect, this was also inspired by Alpha¡¯s machine gun mode and sniper mode.
Thinking of this, Gu Shan Increased the frequency of his attacks once more and had the two lord creatures, who had only been contracted not too long ago, join the attacking team.
In fact, Gu Shan constantly changed thebinations and arrangements between the pets, causing all sorts of elemental burst waves to fly around chaotically. The field was instantly filled with a crushing underdog situation.
¡°See, I told you Gu Shan is really strong now.¡±
Seeing this, Zhou Yan held her head high in pride. Gu Shan¡¯s rapid progress was thanks to her private ¡°earnest teachings.¡± If Gu Shan wonter, she should get some points from him.
Right, not much, seventy percent would do.
¡°Gu Shan has indeed improved a lot, but if he doesn¡¯t have other tricks up his sleeve, he might lose.¡±
Bai Qiucha put on the Bone Dragon helmet, a sh of fire in his eyes that prated the omnipresent energy, sensing the presence of Alpha¡¯s Three Pets and, moreover, sensing something else.
Apanied by the sound of swirling winds and thunderous mechanical roars, the Sword de Storm and the Mechanical Lord simultaneously unleashed their power, directly dispelling the surging energy and counterattacking Gu Shan¡¯s six pets.
¡°This is¡ another Super Skill! When did Bai Qi master this?!¡±
Watching the Sword de Storm that was spinning and rapidly closing in on Gu Shan¡¯s Six Pets, everyone was astounded, for a momentpletely overlooking the impressive firepower of the Husky Mechanical Lord.
He really has be stronger!
Gu Shan silently watched the overwhelming Sword de Storm, immediately issued amand to the Scale Armor Beast, and four thick walls of earth immediately rose up, enveloping his Six Pets entirely.
[Skill Name]: Earth Prison
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description]: This super-level earth skill can summon an earth prison rooted in the ground. Unless an attack can release several times the energy value of the earth prison, it is extremely difficult to escape from.
Earth Prison was originally a binding skill, but Gu Shan used it in reverse, transforming it into a protective skill.
As to the purpose, there was no need to guess that he was absolutely preparing for the Six Pets¡¯ fusion skill.
¡°We¡¯ve detected a powerful energy convergence, and it is rmended to rapidly breach the defense to interrupt the attack.¡±
Schuck¡¯s electronic eyes scanned the Earth Prison and quickly determined the behavior of the Six Pets, directly withdrawing all artillery to form a giant Thunder Roar Cannon, filling it with Thunder me Power, clearly intending to shatter the Earth Prison in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, Alpha had also prepared itself, with the Sword de Storm at full power, waiting for Husky to break the prison beforeunching a decisive strike against Gu Shan¡¯s Six Pets.
Boom!!!
Finally, apanied by a thunderous rumble, the Thunder me Power poured out, transforming into a beam of light that fell upon the Earth Prison.
And the Earth Prison, known for its invincible defense, only held up for an instant before the top was sted off, revealing the Six Pets hiding inside.
Seeing this, Gu Shan did not panic at all, but instead revealed a satisfied smile.
¡°I knew you could break the Earth Prison, and this way, my Elemental Shock can reach its maximum power!¡±
Gu Shan¡¯s rarely verbose deration made the surrounding audience realize that releasing the Earth Prison allowed the Scale Armor Beast to also participate in the fusion skills, which would obviously impact the power of the Elemental Shock if it were distracted by controlling the Earth Prison.
But if he did not dispel it, it would be akin to Gu Shan having to expend extra effort himself to break the prison, still affecting the power of his attack.
Now, since Husky had actively broken the defense of the Earth Prison, it was clearly exhausted, while his Elemental Shock was at its peak power.
With this increase and decrease, it was evident that Bai Qi had no chance of defeating him.
¡°Bai Qi, see if you can take my Six-element Burst!¡±
Gu Shan roared, and the Six-element Burst immediately dispersed the Thunder me Power, going straight for Husky. It was so fast that there wasn¡¯t even time to dodge.
But at that moment, Alpha, who had been storing power for a long time, suddenly stepped in front of Husky. The storm, which was full of sword des, gradually turned a deep blue and then stood directly in front of the Six-element Burst.
Bai Yuxiao frowned upon seeing this, saying, ¡°It¡¯s too risky. If the Fire of Soul in the head is hit, it will be very difficult to recover.¡±
¡°Indeed it is a bit, but the Wilting Dragon Lord has not shown any signs of weakening, so the oue is not certain.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s unwise choice, Xiao Yuan, who had always been optimistic about Bai Qi, also somewhat changed his view.
None of them, who were all Four Stage Beast Masters, could say for sure that they could withstand the Six- element Burst.
While everyone was discussing, Bai Qiucha suddenly took off the Bone Dragon Helmet, saying, ¡°No need, the oue is set. Bai Qi has won.¡±
Everyone present was taken aback and immediately looked towards the arena.
The power of the Six-element Burst was indeed formidable, and Alpha was constantly retreating. However, the Withering Power wrapped in the Sword de Storm was spreading along the Six-element Burst, visibly reducing its potency.
¡°This¡,¡±
The crowd exchanged baffled looks as they watched Alpha single-handedly block the Six-element Burst, unable to conceal their astonishment.
¡°The fight isn¡¯t over yet!¡±
However, when everyone thought the oue was certain, Zhou Yan still held unshakeable confidence in Gu Shan.
The Gu Shan of today was not the same underdog who had no strength to retaliate after a single hit.
Chapter 193 - 189: Being targeted again...
Chapter 193: Chapter 189: Being targeted again¡
Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°The battle isn¡¯t over yet.¡±
However, when everyone thought victory and defeat were already decided, Zhou Yan showed no sign of rushing. His calmness attracted everyone¡¯s attention, and they all turned their eyes to Gu Shan.
The six pets that were supposed to have totally consumed their energy value were now leaning against the Scale Armor Beast. A column of earthy-yellow energy connected the six pets together, and at the other end, it connected directly to the ground.
[Skill Name]: Earth Breath
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Effect]: Can rapidly recover energy value with the help of Earth Force, and can restore to the original state at once. Cooldown time: one month.
This Scale Armor Beast even has a skill to quickly recover energy!
With the energy value recovered through Earth Breath, the six pets once again gathered up the ¡°Six-element Burst.¡± However, Alpha had already stopped the Sword de Storm and seemed to be at the end of its strength.
¡°Sorry, I won this battle.¡±
Gu Shan stared at Bai Qi with a serious face, feeling like the shadows of being instantly killed by Bai Qi during the professional qualifying examination were gradually dissipating.
¡°Well, I suggest you check the status of your six pets before you say that.¡±
Seeing Gu Shan¡¯s confident look, Bai Qi indicated the direction of the six pets. Gu Shan¡¯s heart thumped as if he realized something, and he turned his head to look.
What he saw was the previously ready Six-element Burst suddenly bing unstable, and the condition of the six pets was also starting to seem a bit weird, as if they had been poisoned.
At the same time, Gamma emerged from the ground, twisting its body. Two light auras, one red and one green, shone around it, just enough to cover the six pets.
After Gamma showed up, several split bodies surfaced from different locations. Whether it was the Bloodsucking Aura or the Deadly Poison Aura, all of thempletely surrounded Gu Shan¡¯s six pets.
¡°When did you¡?¡±
Gu Shan was confused in his heart, and he tried to control the six pets to fight back. However, under the superposition of several light auras, the four pets who were merely at Elite Level couldn¡¯t resist and directly passed out. The two Lord Creatures that had just contracted were also targeted by Alpha and Husky, their weaknesses locked by a spear and a sword.
This was not a case of running out of energy, but rather an apparent determination of victory with no need for further action!
¡°Host.¡±
Gu Shan was stunned for a while, feeling that the shadow that had just disappeared was surfacing again, even thicker than before. His face, which rarely showed expressions, became wooden again.
¡°Did Bai Qi¡¯s Poison Devouring Monster use two light skills just now? And there was also an ovepped effect of the splitting skill¡¡±
Xiao Yuan¡¯s eyes zed, discerning the tactics Gamma had used to quash Gu Shan¡¯s hope of aeback.
Bai Qiu Cha nodded and said, ¡°Should be, if I am not mistaken, the green one should be the Deadly Poison Aura, the red one seems like the Bloodsucking Aura, but it seems it can also absorb energy?¡±
¡°None of this guy¡¯s pets are simple, are they?¡±
Xiao Yuan shook his head. One pet, Alpha, had strong closebat, the second pet, Husky, assisted from a distance, and now even the third pet, Gamma, had impressive fighting power.
Everyone said they were monsters, but this guy seemed to be the real deal.
Listening to Xiao Yuan and Bai Qiu Cha¡¯s analysis, Bai Yuxiao spoke to Li Mu.
¡°Mu Ge, do you still want to challenge Bai Qi?¡±
¡°Hl think about it¡¡±
Bai Yuxiao and Li Mu exchanged a nce and tacitly gave up on the thought of challenging Bai Qi for points. However, Bai Qiu Cha, Zhou Yan and the others were more eager to fight.
It seemed that they didn¡¯t need to suppress their power at all when battling with Bai Qi¡
As the six pets lost theirbat capabilitiespletely, Zhang Shan announced the result of thepetition.
¡°Bai Qi versus Gu Shan, Bai Qi wins, gaining 20 points.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Zhang Shan on the stage, speechless, and silently epted the 20 points transferred from Gu Shan.
Even a mosquito¡¯s leg is meat. He shouldn¡¯t be picky.
And after all this trouble, those guys should quiet down a bit, right?
Bai Qi looked at the audience, but the reaction he got was not the expected dejection. Instead, everyone looked more determined to fight.
The plot was wrong. Weren¡¯t they supposed to be shocked by the terrifying strength of the three pets going full out, giving up on challenging him, and letting him coast through?
Why was everyone more excited instead, as if they were on a stimnt?
But before Zhou Yan and the others could issue a challenge, everyone felt dizzy and found themselves in a different ce.
¡°The point grabbing battle for today is over, all students please prepare for ss.¡±
¡°Ah- I haven¡¯t even issued my challenge yet.¡±
Zhou Yan murmured when he heard the announcement, but he could only hold back. Bai Qiu Cha and the others had simr thoughts.
At this point, they are not challenging Bai Qi for points alone, but simply wanted to test his limits.
Thinking of this, they looked increasingly fiery, their gaze fixed on Bai Qi like a de. Bai Qi felt like he had a sword hanging over his head and wished he could slide back to thest row.
Suddenly, he found the Thirteenth Bureau quite good, not like these guys who only thought about challenging him. They had no self-awareness as Four Stage Beast Masters.
¡°Bai Qi, pay attention in ss!¡±
Perhaps sensing Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, the teacher, who was giving the lecture, suddenly turned to look at Bai Qi, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Did this guy have to be so intuitive?
Bai Qi nodded reluctantly, ignoring the gaze of the battle maniacs behind him and focused on the lecture.
He hadn¡¯t been a Beast Master for long, so learning more theories certainly wouldn¡¯t hurt.
¡°Phew- I didn¡¯t expectprehensive sses to be so tiring, the fighting in the middle, the dissection after winning¡ This Master may not be able to graduate.¡±
Zhou Yan was lying fidgety on the table, entirely losing her usual optimism and cheerfulness.
Although the special training members did get a lot of resources, even having the chance toe into contact with legendary resources, most of the benefits were concentrated on finishing their training sessfully.
Zhou Yan originally thought she could live her days in peace after surviving the first round of selection. However, this new point deduction policy was making her quite upset.
Based on the current trend, Zhou Yan was certain, even if no one came to snatch her points, they would be deducted by the instructors.
If she really got removed from the special training, she¡¯d probably get a beating from Leng Feifei.
¡°Not really, in a way, the point battle is prepared for a cker like you.¡±
Lu Qing, holding her book, just floated past Zhou Yan, leaving her with these words and left, while Zhou Yan came to a sudden realization.
¡°Yeah, there¡¯s also the point battle. Where¡¯s Bai Qi!¡±
Zhou Yan looked around and noticed that Bai Qi had disappeared.
¡°He probably went to eat.¡±
Bai Qiucha pointed in the direction of the cafeteria, ¡°Bai Qi used up a lot today, he should be eating a bit more, so if you hurry, you still have time, sister Yan.¡±
¡°Good!¡±
Zhou Yan nodded repeatedly, jumped up from her seat and made a beeline for the cafeteria.
Secret Realm Base.
Bai Qi was lying leisurely on the lounge chair, watching the three pets in front of him feasting, his mood was exceptionally light.
In order to ensure that the special training members and their pets could maintain their optimal state, the food provided by the association¡¯s cafeteria was extravagant, with almost all kinds of ferocious nts and animals. As such, they really had everything.
Even Alpha, a skeletal creature that didn¡¯t require food, was provided with a soup pool to replenish his energy, soaking was all it took.
What pleased Bai Qi the most was that the food could be taken away.
¡°Face-to-face challenge only, I don¡¯t believe you guys coulde to the secret realm to find me.¡±
Bai Qi stretchedzily, guessing Zhou Yan and some others might go to the cafeteria to stop people. So, he dashed to the cafeteria to grab a takeaway as soon as the ss ended and returned to the secret realm, effectively eliminating the possibility of being surrounded.
It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid to fight. It was just that a Four Stage Beast Master was not the same as a Four Stage Fierce Beast. If you count the number of pets and the help of talents, Bai Qi admitted that it would cost a lot even if he won, not to mention Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan, who were considered abnormal among the ordinary Four Stage fighters.
Add to that the reward reduction policy for those who challenged lower, he wasn¡¯t willing to do such ungrateful things.
When he advanced to Four Stage, then he would get back at them!
After all, it wouldn¡¯t be long-
¡°Bai Qi, are you a rat? You directly head to the secret realm every time ss ends, can you stop ying cheap tricks!¡±
Zhou Yanined to Bai Qi, who was listening to the lecture seriously.
¡°Er¡ I just need to rush back and review. The secret realm is more quiet, it¡¯s good for studying.¡±
Bai Qi grinned and gave an excuse that even he didn¡¯t buy. Zhou Yan was even more irritated.
¡°No, I want to challenge you right now!¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi shrugged and pointed to Luo Xiang on the stage who was giving a lecture, saying, ¡°Nowit¡¯s ss time, challenges can¡¯t be initiated.¡±
Zhou Yan instantly became upset and turned to Bai Qiucha beside her, ¡°Cha, let¡¯s block him together after ss. We can¡¯t let him enter the secret realm!¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, agreeing straight away to Zhou Yan¡¯s suggestion.
During this past week, not only Zhou Yan, but he had also been looking for an opportunity to challenge Bai Qi, but couldn¡¯t even get a glimpse of him.
So, even someone as patient as him was getting a little annoyed.
Their conversation didn¡¯t escape Luo Xiang¡¯s eyes. Looking at Bai Qi who was rxed, a strange smile crossed Luo Xiang¡¯s face.
¡°Everyone stop for a moment, I have an announcement.¡±
Luo Xiang stopped lecturing, cleared his throat and said, ¡°Considering the negative impact of some students passively avoiding fights, we instructors have decided to change the system of challenging on the spot to challenging through a badge system.¡±
¡°So, those who want to challenge can now operate away at it¡¡±
As soon as Luo Xiang finished speaking, Zhou Yan¡¯s eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed her badge and issued a challenge to Bai Qi.
¡°The challenged party¡¯s three challenge quotas for this week have already been used. Please try again next week.¡±
¡°No more challenges left?¡±
Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t believe the feedback she received from the badge, tried a few more times, but received the same feedback.
¡°Who was so fast!¡±
Zhou Yan turned to look at her and saw Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan silently raising their hands, and thest one was Lu Qing, who normally stayed out of such matters.
¡°Qing¡¯er, weren¡¯t you the one who despises fighting the most? Why did youe to join the fun as well?¡±
Zhou Yan was full of sorrow as she grabbed Lu Qing and began to whine.
¡°Oh, I clicked it by mistake.¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses, reacting very perfunctorily.
¡°Then, you clicked wrongly, can you give this opportunity to me?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Then, can I reserve a challenge slot for Bai Qi next week?¡±
Chapter 194 - 190: Skill Atlas?
Chapter 194: Chapter 190: Skill As?
Trantor: 549690339 |
Upon seeing them silently starting to distribute his challenge slots, a corner of Bai Qj¡¯s eye twitched slightly.
Can you guys respect the involved party a bit more? Acting this way would make him think he was some special profession.
Furthermore, isn¡¯t this new rule a bit too targeted? Couldn¡¯t it be friendlier to outstanding students?
Bai Qi cast a resentful look at Luo Xiang, who only shrugged innocently.
The system wasn¡¯t really his proposal; it was a direct order from the old man to amend it, and obviously aimed at Bai Qi.
After all, there were only a few in the special ss with a personal secret realm, but Bai Qi was the only one who hid all day and was never seen by people.
Speaking of which, it seemed like the association had already amended numerous rules for Bai Qi.
Vmm, vmm, vmm¡
At this moment, Bai Qi suddenly felt the Evolution Egg shaking violently. Instant cracks covered the Silver Egg, allowing golden rays of light to dissipate from within.
Was it about to level up?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and he quickly closed them to feel the changes of the Evolution Egg silently.
Just like the previous times, the shell of the Silver Egg had adhered directly onto Bai Qi¡¯s Beast Control Space and under the rendering of the golden metallic glow, gradually turned into a gold color.
At the same time, a warm strength flowed through Bai Qi¡¯s soul and body. His Spirit Power and physical constitution once again made a breakthrough, and the fourth Rune Mark appeared on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s left hand.
Finally made it to the Four Stage!
A hint of smile appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face, and then began to take a closer look at the gradually revealed true form of the Golden Egg.
Different from the previous shining shell, the Golden Egg had additional irregr patterns, which added more mystery to it.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Golden Egg 0%)
[Condition]: Activated
Just when Bai Qi attached his Spirit Power to the markings on the Golden Egg, a flow of information poured into his mind.
¡°It actually has this ability?¡±
Bai Qi looked surprised and couldn¡¯t help but to try the new ability of the Golden Egg out straight away.
Under everyone¡¯s astonished gazes, Bai Qi suddenly stood up and said to Luo Xiang, ¡°Instructor Luo, I just broke through the Four Stage. Can I take a leave to go and sign a contract with my beast?¡±
¡°You reached the Four Stage, Bai Qi?¡±
Having heard Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Yuxiao couldn¡¯t help but exim. Beast Masters like Ran Xu and Qiao Li, who were still at the Three Stage, looked as if they had just seen a ghost.
This fellow, he was just at the Second Stage over a month ago when he had just arrived. But now he¡¯s already reached the Four Stage?
Suddenly, they all felt like they were useless¡
¡°Yes, I suddenly reached the Four Stage¡±
Bai Qi nodded. During this time, he had been elerating his growth of Spirit Power by using Phantom Spirit Potion before sleeping. Apart from attending sses during the other times, he had been meditating, eventually advancing to the Fourth Stage.
¡°Reached the Fourth Stage? Alright, you can go back first. Remember to return though, as there are still a few people waiting for you.¡±
Luo Xiang gave Bai Qiucha and the other two a nce before continuing with his lecture. As for Bai Qi, he didn¡¯t beat around the bush and directly entered the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Ploroploro?
Seeing Bai Qi appear, Delta instinctively rushed into his hug. But upon noticing Bai Qi¡¯s serious expression, it immediately stopped its steps and obedientlyid down in front of him.
Seeing this, Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head and said, ¡°Little guy, I will officially contract you now, have you decided?¡±
Ploroploro!
Delta nodded continuously. It had decided when Bai Qi had chosen it in the beginning, needless to mention Bai Qi had been caring for it diligently these days. Naturally, it agreed.
¡°Well, don¡¯t resist the contract.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly, cing his left hand over Delta. Two incrediblyplex arrays instantly enveloped Delta, and a thread of connection was made between Bai Qi and it.
Ploroploro!
(So this is how it feels to be contracted, how interesting)
As a Lord-level creature, Delta understood much more than Alpha and the others, but it was still very curious about Bai Qi¡¯s Beast Control Space.
It didn¡¯t know why, but it always feltfortable when bathed in that golden light. The flow and growth of energy appeared to have sped up by quite a bit. After contracting Delta, Bai Qi also felt a powerful wave of energy feedback from Delta¡¯s side. The body, which had just been strengthened due to the breakthrough, felt as if it improved further.
¡°The feedback from contracting a Lord-level creature is indeed great.¡±
Bai Qi flexed his fist, clearly feeling that his strength had increased by a lot, and other aspects like physical power had also made a great leap forward. If he could return to the past, he reckoned he wouldn¡¯t have a problem bing an all-rounder sports champion.
[Name]: Ancestral Beast (Delta)
[Nature]: None
[Bloodline Level]: Low-Level Lord
[Growth Level]: Second Stage-Sixth Level
[Skills]: Savage Charge (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Heart of Evolution (High Level ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 53000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Thanks to Delta¡¯s terrifying resource-consuming ability, which was no weaker than Gamma¡¯s, Delta¡¯s level had increased by another three levels. However, the increase in energy value was still not significant. Regardless, it could be considered a step in the right direction.
Bai Qi casually checked out Delta¡¯s data, afterwards he focused his Spirit Power on the skill bar of Delta.
¡°Let¡¯s see what ability the Golden Egg has added.¡±
With the continuous concentration of Bai Qi¡¯s Spirit Power, suddenly, an item appeared under the skill data of Delta¡¯s Savage Charge. The moment Bai Qi saw this item, he couldn¡¯t help but burst outughing.
[Skill Name]: Savage Charge
[Skill Level]: Intermediate
[Skill Introduction]: Abasic skill that causes damage to opponents by rapidly charging with the body.
[Skill Upgrade]: 1. Thundering Rush ¨C High Level: Thunder skill that uses the power of thunder to elerate, and adds the attribute of electric paralysis, which can control the enemy while causing damage.
Upgrade n: Savage Charge (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) + sh of Lightning (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) ¨C missing - 2. Diamond Headbutt ¨C High Level: Basic skill that gives up part of the speed for stronger destructive power and defense, unstoppable wherever it aims!
Upgrade n: Savage Charge (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) + Harden Body (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) ¨C missing - 3. Night Raid ¨C High Level: Shadow Department skill, which can merge into the shadows, appear anywhere under the night sky and initiate a strike, making it difficult for the enemy to defend against.
Upgrade n: Savage Charge (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) + Shadow Step (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) ¨C missing - 4. zing Strike ¨C High Level: Fire attribute skill, it hits the enemy with the whole body wrapped in mes, with a strong explosive force, and can cause burning damage to the enemy.
Upgrade n: Savage Charge (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) + me Wrap (Intermediate ¨C Perfect) ¨C missing - 5. ??? ¨C Awakening: Insufficient data, condition unknown.
The Skill As, isn¡¯t it here now!
Looking at the full upgrade n under Savage Charge, Bai Qi suddenly blossomed intoughter.
With this, even if the pet¡¯s skill gamble went wrong, they could get it back, and they could cultivate in the direction they wanted.
What surprised Bai Qi the most was that there was even an upgrade n for the awakening skill on the Evolution Egg side, but I didn¡¯t understand why there were no specific data and ns out.
¡°Is it because the conditions aren¡¯t met? Proficiency? Physical values?¡±
Bai Qi thought for a moment and focused his Spirit Power on the Heart of Evolution once again.
[Skill Name]: Heart of Evolution
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Ancestral Beast¡¯s Talent Passive skill, which evolves differently depending on different living environments to adapt to the environment, which is also the origin of the name of the Ancestral Beast race. [Skill Upgrade]: ??? insufficient Data, Condition Unknown
There¡¯s no pattern to this at all-
Bai Qi slightly frowned, then summoned Gamma.
Among the four pets, Gamma has the most skills in both category and quantity, maybe he could figure something out.
Ka-puka-pu?
(Master, is it mealtime?)
As a qualified foodie, the first thing Gamma thought of when he was summoned was eating, but Gamma soon noticed the connection with Delta and hopped over to Delta¡¯s side.
Ka-puka-pu?
(You became the master¡¯s pet too?)
Boo-lu boo-lu.
(Yes, please take care of me.)
Ka-pu ka-pu?
(You won¡¯t steal Gamma¡¯s food, will you?)
Boo-lu boo-lu.
(No, I won¡¯t.)
Ka-puka-pu!
(Then we are good partners!)
Looking at Gamma and Delta chatting harmoniously, Bai Qi was full of joy.
He¡¯s such a sensible creature, no fighting, no grabbing, diligent in training, and polite, Delta can be regarded as the moral paragon of the team!
It¡¯s just that the way he expresses his excitement needs to be changed, because if Savage Charge is used casually one day, he might just be gone.
Bai Qi reached out and rubbed both Gamma and Delta, then started to check Gamma¡¯s status.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Three Stage Four Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Race Skills]: Bloodsucking Aura (High Level ¨C Expert), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level ¨C Expert), Split (Intermediate ¨C Skilled), Mimicry (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Corrosion (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Electric Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Frozen resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), me Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), zing Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Cutting Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Expert), Shadow Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect), Corrosion Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Expert), Radiation Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Expert), Golden Cicada Shelling (Super Level ¨C Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 1042000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Looking at theplex series of resistances, Bai Qi¡¯s scalp also went numb, casually he put his spirit power on the resistance with perfect proficiency.
[Skill Name]: Electric Resistance
[Skill Level]: Intermediate
[Skill Introduction]: Can effectively reduce the damage of current to oneself
[Skill Upgrade]: 1. Elemental Resistance: Formed by the fusion of multiple resistance skills, it can reduce the damage caused by most elemental skills.
Upgrade n: me Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect)* Frozen Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect)*¡ Wind Resistance-missing + Water Department Resistance-missing + Light Resistance-missing - Lightning Immunity ¨C Awakening: Condition Unknown
No wonder Gamma hasprehended so many resistances without any skill fusion, it turns out that it¡¯s because the conditions are insufficient.
It¡¯s a good thing that the Golden Egg has added this skill, otherwise who knows when it could be fused.
It¡¯s much easier to have a clear direction of development like this¡

Chapter 195: Chapter 191: Skeleton Giant Dragon VS Sand Land Dragon
Trantor: 549690339
After confirming the method to upgrade to elemental resistance, Bai Qi turned his attention to the two aura skills.
Aura skills were the forerunners of domain skills. If the skill as could show the way to upgrade in advance, or even show the way to awaken super-level skills, wouldn¡¯t that be fantastic?
[Skill Name]: Bloodsucking Aura
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: An aura skill that absorbs fresh blood and energy values of living creatures within its coverage.
[Skill Upgrade]: 1. ??? ¨C conditions unknown
No upgrade ns either?
Bai Qi frowned and looked at the Deadly Poison Aura, receiving the same response.
Could it be that it can only now show upgrade ns for high-level skills and below?
Defiant, Bai Qi turned his attention to Golden Cicada Shelling. As expected, its skill upgrade column was also filled with question marks. The same was true when he summoned Alpha and Husky.
¡°I really am too greedy¡¡±
Thinking about how eager he was to awaken super-level skills and evenprehend domain-level skills in advance, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but scoff at himself.
With the skill as, he had already avoided many detours. Plus, it only said the conditions were unknown, indicating that an upgrade was indeed possible. It was just that neither he nor his pets were powerful enough yet.
¡°The revolution has not yet seeded. Comrades still need to work hard- ¡±
After giving himself a pep talk, Bai Qi once again focused his attention on Delta.
The Evolution Egg provided five skill upgrade ns. Among them, Thundering Rush, Night Raid, and zing Strike all required the integration of elemental skills, which was clearly not possible for Delta.
As for the other two, Diamond Headbutt wasn¡¯t a bad choice. Although it was a bit slow, it was easy to upgrade. Harden Body skill was rtively easy to train.
However, Bai Qj was a bit more interested in that unknown awakening skill.
With Gamma as a precedent, who awakened a normal mid-level skill into the Bloodsucking Aura, Bai Qi found it hard to resist the urge to awaken another.
After all, Delta would very likely only be able to master one skill for a long time. It was better to be cautious.
¡°For now, we¡¯ll just continue practicing this skill. It¡¯s already at a perfect level of proficiency, so it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to upgrade to an awakened level.¡±
After some consideration, Bai Qi decided to give up on upgrading Savage Charge into Diamond Headbutt.
Since Delta wouldn¡¯t be needed in fights for the time being, continuing to practice casually would suffice. Plus, having consumed so many attributeless materials, Delta¡¯sbat power would be formidable regardless.
The fighting style might just be a bit monotonous, though.
¡°But now that I¡¯ve leveled up to four stages, I can finallypete freely in the points race.¡±
Bai Qj smirked and promptly equipped Alpha and Husky with a Golden Egg each.
As he hadn¡¯t been leveling up, Alpha and Husky¡¯s growth level was stuck at third stage ten. Now that he had broken through to the fourth stage, Alpha and Husky could likewise level up.
Though it may seem like a difference of just one level, strength, speed, spirit power, defense, and energy value would all get a terrifying increase.
Here Ie, points!
The next day.
The crowd gazed at Bai Qj¡¯s empty seat, falling into a silent stupor.
Finally, Zhou Yan broke the silence. ¡°Do you think Bai Qi ran away again?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think so¡ right?¡±
Bai Qiucha responded uncertainly. But then again, it didn¡¯t matter much to her.
Among the three challengers to Bai Qi, she was the third in line. Even if Bai Qj did show up, he wouldn¡¯t have time for her right away. Regardless of who he battled against, it would be tiring. He¡¯d need at least half a day to recover.
¡°Bai Qi just advanced to four stages. He should be getting used to his pet¡¯s changes. Let¡¯s wait.¡±
As the first one to challenge, Xiao Yuan was in no hurry ¡ª instead, he was growing more eager.
Though Bai Qi had demonstrated strong fighting power, he was still at stage three. Regardless of other factors, the difference in energy value alone meant that Bai Qi couldn¡¯t engage in protracted warfare with them.
And Xiao Yuan excelled at just that: drawn-out battles.
Now that Bai Qi had advanced to the fourth stage, breaking the pet level limit, Xiao Yuan was hoping more than ever that Bai Qi would train his pets to the fourth stage before battling him.
Otherwise, even if he managed to defeat Bai Qi, his grandfather would likely still struggle against President Qin, right?
¡°It doesn¡¯t bother me. ording to the new rules, if the challenged party dodges the fight, they¡¯ll automatically lose points. I don¡¯t mind getting free points.¡±
Lu Qing pushed up her sses, her eyes shing with wisdom.
¡°There¡¯s actually that kind of rule?!¡±
Zhou Yan was shocked, and she started looking at those with higher scores a bit differently.
Seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s gaze falling on her, Bai Yuxiao quickly waved her hands.
¡°Calm down, Zhou Yan. Remember who you¡¯re targeting.¡±
¡°Right, let¡¯s beat Bai Qi first.¡±
Only after hearing Zhou Yan¡¯s reply did Bai Yuxiao breathe a sigh of relief.
¡°Spending the whole day with you Fourth Stage freaks is too hard for me, don¡¯t you think so, Mu Bro?¡±
At that, Li Mu stared nkly at Bai Yuxiao and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m one of those Fourth Stage freaks you¡¯re talking about.¡±
Bai Yuxiao was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked around and realized that he was surrounded by Fourth Stage Beast Masters.
Oh no, there was also Gu Shan.
¡°Gu Shan, seems like it¡¯s us against the world. Always on edge, and guarding our points against these people, it¡¯s really not easy.¡±
Gu Shan remained silent for a long time before he raised his head. He took out his badge to show his current ranking. ¡°My ranking isn¡¯t high. They won¡¯te after me.¡±
Bai Yuxiao: ¡°¡¡±
Whoosh!
Just as everyone was caught up in their discussions, Bai Qi suddenly appeared in the assembly hall, startling everyone around him.
¡°Damn, Bai Qi, you finally showed up.¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s eyes lit up, quickly pulling Xiao Yuan aside and said, ¡°Xiao Yuan, hurry up and challenge Bai Qi. Finish his first three challenges so I can apply for the second round of challenges against Bai Qi.¡±
Can they stop giving me such a hard time? I might be rich, but this isn¡¯t right.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. He settled himself into his seat. At that moment, today¡¯s instructor, Xiao Zhang, walked in from the outside.
Alpha and Husky were still inside the Evolution Egg, so Bai Qi decided to appear at this time, precisely to avoid any early challenge proposals.
However, once Alpha and Husky emerged from their shell, who would challenge whom would be a different story.
Xiao Zhang walked up to the crowd, scanned the audience, and said, ¡°First, I¡¯ll announce the members for today¡¯s points dispute battle.¡±
¡°Bai Qiucha VS Li Mu!¡±
When Bai Qiucha and Li Mu heard Xiao Zhang announce the list, they both blinked, then locked eyes, readying themselves for battle.
Since the rules of the points dispute battle had been announced, the selected members for daily battles were mainly Third Stage Beast Masters, and the initiated challenges were also primarily from Third Stage Beast Masters.
Although the point battles were ranked ording to points, when it came to challenging Third Stage participants, the Fourth Stage participants couldn¡¯t bring themselves to do that.
Well, except for Bai Qi.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Bai Qi and the others were once again transported to the arena, and Bai Qiucha and Li Mu were already prepped for battle.
Bai Qi watched Bai Qiucha and Li Mu in the arena with interest, his eyes filled with expectation.
Even though Bai Qiucha had always been chased around by Zhou Yan, that was only right after he reached the Fourth Stage. Bai Qi hadn¡¯t fought Bai Qiucha recently, but he was able to sense their progress.
Legendary Son, Spirit Master, Skeleton Dragon.
Any one of them was enough to forge a strong warrior, let alone thebination of all three.
As for Li Mu, besides seeing him in action during the battle with the Grass Cutter me Chicken, Bai Qi hadn¡¯t been able to see him fight much.
However, Li Mu was able to keep up with Xiao Yuan and the rest. He won¡¯t back down easily.
¡°Know yourself and your opponent, and you will never be defeated. I¡¯ll figure out your secrets first, then challenge you.¡±
Bai Qiughed evilly, making Bai Yuxiao and Gu Shan unconsciously shift to the side.
Bai Qi was formidable when he was at the Third Stage. Now that he is at the Fourth Stage, he¡¯s even more invincible.
The best thing to do would be to keep their distance.
¡°Bai Qiucha, Li Mu, are you ready?¡±
¡°Ready.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Then I announce, let the match begin!¡±
Just as the words left his mouth, bothpetitors simultaneously summoned their beasts. The Skeleton Dragon and Sand Land Dragon, two gigantic creatures, materialized in the arena and charged at each other.
Boom!
An invisible shockwave spread out from the center, colliding with the arena¡¯s protective barrier with a dull thud.
The initial sh between the Skeleton Dragon and the Sand Land Dragon was a stand-off.
However, the Sand Land Dragon was obviously better attuned to charging. After only a brief pause, it lunged at the Skeleton Dragon with its mouth wide open.
Yet, the Skeleton Dragon only needed to p its wings lightly to gain altitude, it evaded the Sand Land Dragon¡¯s attack. Then, with a spin, countless pale Bone Spurs erupted from its body, flying towards the Sand Land Dragon.
Seeing this, the Sand Land Dragon stomped heavily with both feet. The ground around it turned into sand, forming a wall to block the iing bone spurs. The sand then transformed into severalrge hands, reaching out from every direction towards the Skeleton Dragon.
The sand was very fast, and in an instant it was poised to encircle the Skeleton Dragon. Above the Skeleton Dragon, an enormous sand lid appeared, obviously intending to trap the Skeleton Dragonpletely.
¡°Such strong Sand Control Power.¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly. This Sand Land Dragon¡¯s control of sand was quite strong. It had turned cumbersome sand into something swift. Judging from the age-worn appearance of the bone spurs, it seemed to have the ability to cause erosion?
However, this shouldn¡¯t pose a problem for Bai Qiucha.
Indeed, just as the sand hands were about topletely engulf the Skeleton Dragon, a sh of me appeared in the dragon¡¯s eyes. Its huge body flickered and disappeared into the sand. When it reappeared, it was above the Sand Land Dragon.
The Skeleton Dragon, having effortlessly escaped the sand¡¯s grasp, coldly watched the Sand Land Dragon below. Its empty eyes twinkled with the Fire of Soul, and then it roared at the sky, as if proiming its superior position.
As a former Emperor-level Undead Giant Dragon, how could it allow itself to be buried beneath the earth by a lesser creature?

Trantor: 549690339
Watching the Skeleton Dragon effortlessly break free from his binding, Li Mu was not at all surprised. The body of the Sand Land Dragon gradually turned into sand, slowly blending into the surrounding yellow sand. The originally static controlled sand suddenly became spiritual, continuously circling and converging in the air, and eventually merged into a gigantic Sand Land Dragon. [Skill Name]: Sandification
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: After a pet beast undergoes sandification and merges into the yellow sand, it gains stronger sand control ability and can be immune to most physical attacks.
The sandified Sand Land Dragon was clearly much stronger in controlling sand. Torrents of yellow sand transformed into a giant hand or a spear or a sand ball, attacking the Skeleton Dragon from various angles.
The Skeleton Dragon was not in a hurry to counterattack. Its huge body flickered frequently as it deftly maneuvered through the gaps in the yellow sand.
¡°Those two guys, they weren¡¯t so fierce when they were fighting the Grass Cutter me Chicken before. Could this be the legendary situation where they toe the line outside but strike hard at home?¡±
Bai Qi licked his lips, watching the two enormous creatures engaged in an ultra-fast offensive and defensive battle, and couldn¡¯t help butugh in his belly.
¡°But Brother Cha seems to be a bit more conservative today. Why hasn¡¯t heunched an attack yet?¡±
ording to Brother Cha¡¯s previous fighting habits, he would start with a fire breath, and then use other skills if the opponent didn¡¯t die. However, today¡¯s style waspletely different.
Li Mu also seemed to have noticed something unusual about Brother Cha today. A flicker of suspicion shed in his eyes, but he still didn¡¯t n to give up the initiative and once again increased the frequency of his attacks.
However, the Skeleton Dragon also started to fight back at this time. Ayer of Shadow Department Power instantly covered its ghastly white skeleton, and with one w, it dispersed the yellow sand in front of it.
Under the erosion of the Shadow Department Power, the scattered yellow sand did not regather, but directly fell to the ground.
The Shadow Department Power could erode most energy, and while the Sand Land Dragon¡¯s weathering ability was somewhat simr, it was still no match for the Shadow¡¯s Power. Once eroded by the Shadow¡¯s Power, it would lose control over that portion of the yellow sand.
But the sandified Sand Land Dragon was no longer bound by the limitations of its original size. After losing some yellow sand, it immediately procured some more from the ground and once again attacked the Skeleton Dragon.
Upon seeing this, the Skeleton Dragon performed a spin in the sky, spread its wings, and elerated towards the sand Dragon. Its stiff Bone Wings, like sharp des, swiftly cut the Sand Land Dragon in half.
However, that was not the end. Afterpleting the first cut, the Skeleton Dragon quickly changed direction andpleted the second cut, followed by the third cut, the fourth cut¡
In just an instant, the Sand Land Dragon was sliced into dispersed sand by the Skeleton Dragon.
[Skill Name]: de Wing Frenzy
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Through high-speed flight, it uses its Bone Wings as des to cause multiple segmentation damages to the enemy, turning the enemy into fragments instantly.
Due to the adhesion of the Shadow Department Power, what was originally an ordinary skill clearly caused significant damage to the Sand Land Dragon. The massive sand dragon instantly disintegrated, turning into loose yellow sand falling from the sky.
However, the Skeleton Dragon didn¡¯t stop its attack. Its eyes, full of the Fire of Soul, constantly swayed and quickly detected a strand of energy constantly shuttling through the yellow sand.
¡°Got you!¡±
Bai Qiucha smiled faintly, and the Skeleton Dragon immediately opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of dragon fire.
This yellow sand was originally just ordinary dirt. Under the scorched dragon breath, it instantly turned into crystals falling to the ground, and the sky above the arena suddenly seemed to be raining crystal rain.
However, the Sand Land Dragon still didn¡¯t reveal its form.
¡°This time, I won.¡±
Looking at the Bone Dragon, which was spouting dragon breath in mid-air, Li Mu showed no sign of disappointment. Instead, he dered victory.
As soon as his words fell, the crystals in the sky converged together to form a huge Earth Dragon Head, which swallowed the Skeleton Dragon in one bite. The other crystals also flew backward and formed a crystal sandball in an instant, enfolding the Skeleton Dragon.
[Skill Name]: Crystal Control
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Ability to control crystals for attack
¡°This crystal sand will keep converging toward the center until they crush the enemy. Brother Cha, you should concede.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha smiled and said, ¡°Brother Mu, you shouldn¡¯t speak too soon.¡±
As he spoke, a ghastly blue me de suddenly burst out from inside the crystal sandball. A flurry of de light then cut the crystal sand dune into chunks in an instant, allowing the Skeleton Dragon to break free once again. ¡°Holy cow, why does thisbo look so familiar?¡±
Watching the Skeleton Dragon, who held a dragon head long de and stood like a dragon man in the void, Bai Qi nearly choked on his own saliva.
Although the Alpha¡¯s Skeleton Maniption skill was acquired from the Skeleton Dragon, the routine of changing his own shape didn¡¯t seem to be used by many. Brother Cha was definitely copying Alpha.
Tsk, such ack of innovation. Must be changed!
As Bai Qi was furiouslyining, Bai Qiucha was quite satisfied with his new tactics.
Although it was only a change of shape, thebat effect was significantly stronger.
However, feeling a little embarrassed for copying his tactics without Bai Qi¡¯s permission, Bai Qiucha couldn¡¯t help but feel a little guilty.
Roar!
The Crystal sandball was destroyed, forcing the Sand Land Dragon to end its sandification and reappear on the ground. Its back shell was filled with cuts caused by the dragon head¡¯s long de, but it was apparent that it had not suffered any fatal wounds.
Looking at the imposing skeleton dragon in the sky, Li Mu¡¯s face was still impassive, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Was a spiritmunicator this powerful?
At this thought, a firm resolve shed in Li Mu¡¯s eyes. The aura of the sandnd dragon changed, the surrounding earth turned into sand once more, rippling like the sea. At the same time, a strong pulling force emanated from the sandy ground, steadily pulling the bone dragon toward the ground.
[Skill Name]: Quicksand Hell
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Turn the ground into quicksand, trapping enemies in its infinite gravity, making them unable to free themselves.
Even though the bone dragon was flying in the sky, the pulling force of the quicksand hell was too strong, dragging the bone dragon steadily downward.
It was easy to imagine, if it was drawn into the quicksand hell, even the bone dragon would suffer substantial damage.
Seeing this, aplex rune mark shadow suddenly shed on Bai Qiucha¡¯s forehead. The struggling bone dragon paused instantly, the fire of soul in its eye socket suddenly med up fiercely, quickly filling and enveloping the body of the bone dragon, making it look like the bone dragon had revived from afar. ¡°Ghost giant dragon?¡±
People exchanged nces, not knowing that Bai Qiucha had also contracted with a ghost giant dragon.
¡°It¡¯s not a ghost giant dragon, it¡¯s just Brother Cha temporarily restoring the spirit of the skeletal creature using the spiritmunicator talent.¡±
Seeing everyone¡¯s surprised faces, Bai Yuxiao exined in a timely manner, ¡°However, in this state, the skeleton dragon can be considered a fusion of two dragons, Brother Mu is definitely going to lose.¡±
As expected, once the bone spirit united, the aura of the skeleton dragon rose sharply, diving into the quicksand hell. Then, it suddenly flew out from below the sandnd dragon, shooting the sandnd dragon into the sky.
By the time the sandnd dragonnded again, it hadpletely lost consciousness.
The unity of soul and bone was the attack not only against the physical body but also against the soul.
¡°Host.¡±
Li Mu quickly admitted his defeat, and Xiao Zhang announced the result of the battle.
¡°Cha¡¯s progress is very exaggerate. He has only been Four Stage for a little while and he already has this kind of strength.¡±
Zhou Yan smacked her lips. Her fighting method of adding a soul to her body was simr to that of the skeleton dragon, but she merely added extra me damage, without the ability tounch a soul attack like the skeleton dragon. Even from a certain perspective, the skeleton dragon under the unity of soul and bone had a considerable restraining effect on her soldier soul.
¡°Although he can only contract one pet, with the additional benefits of all contract slots, the resurrection speed of the skeleton dragon is very fast. Even if Brother Cha sleeps all day, he can rise to legend. There¡¯s no need to be envious.¡±
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly. His qualifications as the descendant of the chief of the Moon Night Tower meant it was only a matter of time before he became a legend. He didn¡¯t need to be envious at all.
Bai Yuxiao¡¯s eyes turned and she suddenly came up with an idea. ¡°How about you? Yuan, why don¡¯t you fight Bai Qi too? Master Xiao is your uncle. He should agree.¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes. Riding the momentum, let¡¯s have another battle. Master Xiao certainly doesn¡¯t mind showing the others a Four Stage Beast Master¡¯s battle.¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan agreed repeatedly. After a short silence, Xiao Yuan looked at Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi, what do you think?¡±
¡°Well¡ Master Xiao still has to teach sses. Isn¡¯t that not very good?¡±
Bai Qi hesitated. Alpha and Husky would soon hatch. If they started a battle now, he could only send Gamma or Delta to battle.
Regardless of Delta, Gamma¡¯s attribute panel was also very impressive. But without a super initiative attack skill, it could not perform in a higher-level battle at all.
Tsk¡ when can the Evolution Egg be interrupted? Otherwise, if the time continues to extend in the future, would he have to count the time with his fingers before using it?
Clink.
As if sensing Bai Qi¡¯s thought, Alpha¡¯s Golden Egg suddenly cracked open, and Alpha slowly stepped out from inside. Half of the eggshell turned into golden liquid and flowed into Alpha, while the other half dissipated directly.
Really? After the Evolution Egg advanced to the golden level, was it this user- friendly?
Once he confirmed that Alpha had not been affected by the interrupted evolution, Bai Qi was extremely satisfied with the Evolution Egg, but his face still wore an apologetic look.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan seemed to have thought of something. ¡°How about this. We increase the base number of points for the contest? Directly raising it to five hundred?¡±
Five hundred points were equivalent to him challenging Gu Shan 25 times. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t miss it.
Whether he could win the fight, in the face of Withering Breath, Xiao Yuan¡¯s war of attrition was destined to be hopeless.
Just as Bai Qi was about to agree, a giant ck bird suddenly broke through the space and stopped above the arena.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang immediately approached Bai Heguang and asked, ¡°Bai Chuanqi, what brings you here?¡±
Bai Heguang pointed at Bai Qi, ¡°I will take these two with me. Tell the president formeter.¡±
¡°Em, okay.¡±
Xiao Zhang nodded his head. Upon seeing this, Bai Heguang directly hopped onto the Jiuyou Darkbird, lifted Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, and disappeared into the air again.
¡°Damn, asking Chuanqi to help to avoid a battle, aren¡¯t you being a bit too dramatic, Bai Qi?¡±
Chapter 197 - 193: Secret Realm = Small World?
Chapter 197: Chapter 193: Secret Realm = Small World?
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi looked nkly at the rapidly changingndscape below for a long time before finally processing what was happening.
He had finally reached Level Four and was nning to go and earn more points. Why was he suddenly taken away?
Bai Qi looked at the ck w gripping him, then at Bai Qiucha who appeared unaffected and totally ustomed to this. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Master, may I ask where we are going?¡±
¡°Training,¡± Bai Heguang simply responded, and then Jiuyou Darkbird tossed them onto its back.
¡°Dad, you took Bai Qi as your apprentice?¡± Bai Qiucha, managing to steady herself, asked with surprise.
¡°Hm.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, ncing at Bai Qi, ¡°Are you already at the fourth stage?¡±
Bai Qi, ¡°Yes, I just advanced yesterday.¡±
Bai Heguang remained silent for a while before replying, ¡°Good, you can train with Cha.¡±
¡°Recently, has there been any abnormality in your beast?¡±
Absorbing the power of death can also affect the beast?
Bai Qi was startled at the question, he quickly checked Alpha and Gamma¡¯s condition. Confirming they were okay, he shook his head, ¡°No, there¡¯s no difference from before.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, then fell into silence. Bai Qiucha, however, couldn¡¯t help but chime in, ¡°When did dad take you as his apprentice? During thest mission?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Yes, I have just been epted as his disciple a few days before my return.¡±
With Bai Qi¡¯s confirmation, Bai Qiucha fully epted the fact that her father had taken Bai Qi as his student, although it took some time to process.
Bing a Four Stage Beast Master in just six months, Bai Qi¡¯s talent was freakish. It wasn¡¯t too surprising that her father would ept him as a disciple.
However, if this were to be revealed, it would certainly cause an uproar.
That¡¯s okay, it would at least keep the paparazzi off him.
The speed of the Jiuyou Darkbird was very fast, quickly leaving the area of Songlin City, but Bai Heguang showed no signs of stopping and kept going west.
Bai Qi moved closer to Bai Qiucha, speaking in a low voice, ¡°Cha, where is Master intending to take us?¡±
¡°Probably to some secret realm tower or wilderness. Dad always thinks that practicalbat is much more effective than theoretical teaching.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in understanding. When white and Old Qin called him for special training, there wasn¡¯t any redundant dialogue; it was simply a pressure intimidation.
Listening to Bai Qiucha, it seemed that Bai Heguang wanted to get him used to the Power of Death through realbat. Sure, the intensity would be much stronger than the training, but it shouldn¡¯t be too excessive.
After all, with Bai Qiucha present, Bai Heguang would not ce his son in danger.
He didn¡¯t know what kind of secret realm he would encounter. Perhaps he could obtain some Mythical Resources?
The wilderness was not bad either. The materials freshly harvested from ferocious beasts had the best effects.
Full of anticipation, Bai Qi finally reached their destination.
¡°Thousand Cliff Stone Forest?¡±
Bai Qi looked down at the stone columns reaching straight into the sky like long spears, with an expression of surprise.
The Federation had vast territories. Although the Starry Sky Gate and the snare had strong control over various ces, some frontier areas were still rtively poorly managed.
And this Thousand Cliff Stone Forest was one of them.
Legend has it that this ce was once the dwelling of a legendary beast of the Ferocious Beast Tribe, but it was forcibly expelled by the Federation¡¯s army. The resulting battles made it an inhospitable environment for life.
Both the Federation and the ferocious beasts were toozy to take control of this area. Gradually, it became a buffer zone between the Ferocious Beast Tribe and the Federation.
However, many people were still willing to take risks and venture here. Apart from encountering some beasts they wouldn¡¯t normally meet, some lucky ones could even stumble upon secret realms.
Looking around, Bai Qi could already discern several forms swiftly hiding themselves. Among the cliffs, he could also see a few dpidated secret realm gates.
Secret Realm Tower, ferocious beasts; the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest had it all. This must be the location for their training.
Sure enough, Bai Heguang led them through the stone columns to a stone tower that was brimming with a sense of antiquity.
However, Bai Heguang didn¡¯t seem to have the intention of decoding the Secret Realm Tower, instead, he drove the Jiuyou Darkbird directly toward the gate of the Secret Realm Tower.
Damn, is this how a Titled Legendary beasts master deals with the Secret Realm Gate?
Just as the Jiuyou Darkbird was about to hit the gate, Bai Qi felt an invisible fluctuation spreading from the Jiuyou Darkbird. The gate of the stone tower shattered upon contact with the fluctuation, revealing a gray space vortex.
Is this an abandoned secret realm?
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, about to warn Bai Heguang to be careful, but both Bai Heguang and Bai Qiucha remained calm, watching as the Jiuyou Darkbird entered the space vortex.
There was no terrifying fluctuation as Bai Qi had expected. The process of the Jiuyou Darkbird passing through the space vortex was quite smooth. Bai Qi just felt the scene before him flicker and, suddenly, he was in a bizarre world.
This ce was all gray, with varying colored orbs scattered about much like a cosmos, albeit more chaotic. He could also see some other things shing past him asionally.
¡°This is a space rift. Anyone who isn¡¯t a Legend, if they fall in here, basically get blown into nothingness by the space storm. You possess the Breaking the Void talent, and in the future, you will unavoidably be dealing with abandoned secret realms, so remember to be careful.¡±
Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi¡¯s curious demeanor and reminded him.
¡°I understand, thank you for the reminder, Teacher.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, looking at the Jiuyou Darkbird and the invisible region around it that blocked the chaotic space flow, he seemed to have a revtion.
Emperor¡¯s Domain, an ability that only Legendary creatures could master, allowed one to create a space solely belonging to oneself. In that space, you were the creator!
They relied on the Emperor¡¯s Domain to withstand the chaotic flow of space and time. No wonder only Legends could enter here.
However, would Bai Heguang bring them here just to let them train within this space rift?
¡°Found it. This one has drifted quite far this time, it must be of considerable age.¡±
The Jiuyou Darkbird flew inside the space rift for a while. Upon sighting a grey-green luminous ball, it immediately reversed direction and rushed towards it.
This time, the Jiuyou Darkbird seemingly faced some resistance, slowing slightly, but only for a moment, before breaking through the crystal wall on the surface of the luminous ball and diving into it.
Bai Qi, who was inside the Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s domain, felt as if he was in a bubble, and presently, seemed to get squeezed into arger one.
Finally, when the Jiuyou Darkbirdpletely entered the luminous ball, the scene before Bai Qi changed again, transporting him into an unfamiliar world.
This world appeared to bepletely made up of woods. Looking around, Bai Qi could barely see the edge of the forest.
However, although those trees seemed lush, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t feel any sign of vitality, instead, they resembled a dying old man, exuding an aura of decay.
Bai Heguang dismounted from the Jiuyou Darkbird, turned to Bai Qi, and asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t the atmosphere here feel bizarre?¡±
¡°These trees seem to have been eroded by some kind of power, and their vitality seems weak.¡±
The feeling he got was simr to the Withering Power of Alpha, but it was stronger here and appeared more pure and concentrated.
Upon hearing this, Bai Heguang shook his head and said, ¡°It isn¡¯t that the vitality of these trees is faint, it¡¯s that this world is nearing its death.¡±
¡°The world is dying?¡±
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, clearly, he hadn¡¯t thought of this.
¡°Do you know the origin of the Secret Realm Tower?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, knowing that Bai Heguang was about to give him a history lesson. After a bit of thought, he replied, ¡°The Legendary Beast Master can transform their Beast Control Space into a special secret realm, which is presented in the form of a tower, and that¡¯s the Secret Realm Tower.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the exnation given in the Federation¡¯s textbooks, but it¡¯s not entirely correct.¡±
Bai Heguang looked at the gray-green sky above his head, and said, ¡°A Beast Master¡¯s Beast Control Space was originally just a Soul Space and as the Beast Master¡¯s Spirit Power gradually grew, the Beast Control Space would also be increasingly powerful and begin to resemble a real world.¡±
¡°However, a spirit world is merely illusionary. To truly be a mini world, it needs to transition from illusion to reality. The simplest way to achieve this is to attach it to the crystal wall of the main world and use the power of the main world to alter the attributes of the Beast Control Space.¡±
¡°But outside the crystal wall of the main world is not always tranquil. To ensure that it isn¡¯t blown away by the space storm, a peg is needed to firmly anchor the Beast Control Space onto the crystal wall of the main world.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately understood and asked in surprise, ¡°Is this peg the Secret Realm Tower?¡±
¡°Exactly, with the Secret Realm Tower serving as the connection, the Beast Control Space can harness the power of the crystal wall to transform into a miniature world. As long as the Secret Realm Tower remains, even if the Beast Master dies, this mini world will continue to adhere to the crystal wall of the main world. This is what wemonly refer to as a Secret Realm.¡±
Having said this, Bai Heguang paused, then continued, ¡°When you be a Legendary, you will have to create your own Secret Realm Tower. Remember, regardless of what type you choose, the most basic element is stability.¡±
¡°If someone forcibly destroys your Secret Realm Tower before you die, you can imagine the consequences.¡±
¡°I understand!¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi repeatedly nodded. Although he was slightly taken aback by Bai Heguang mentioning matters rted to bing a Legendary so early on, Bai Qi still took it to heart.
Was a Secret Realm equivalent to a miniature world?
He had always thought that a Secret Realm was merely an ordinary space. But now that it was actually a small world, would improving it entail turning it into arge world?
And as the Beast Master and owner of this world, wouldn¡¯t that make him a creator?
But for a Beast Control Space to transform from an illusion into a real mini world, it had to be attached to the crystal wall of the main world. To attach it to the crystal wall without getting blown away by the space storms required the pull of the Secret Realm Tower.
To sum up in one sentence.
The Secret Realm Tower was important!
The Secret Realm Tower was important!
The Secret Realm Tower was important!
Important things need to be repeated three times.
It seemed that when building his own Secret Realm Tower in the future, he had to make sure to design it as an indestructible stronghold. Otherwise, if it can be easily breached like that stone tower just now, he would be doomed.
Yes, he should pay attention to the defense measures of other people¡¯s Secret Realm Towers in the future and incorporate any good ones into his own.
As for whether others will be able to break into his Secret Realm Tower after he dies?
By then he would be dead and gone, why would he care whether they could break into his Secret Realm Tower?
Chapter 198 - One Hundred and Ninety-Four: The True Death
Chapter 198: Chapter One Hundred and Ny-Four: The True Death
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi silently nned for his future Secret Realm Tower, then turned his attention to this world.
¡°Master, you mentioned earlier that this world was dying. What did you mean?¡±
Bai Heguang pointed at Bai Qi¡¯s head, saying, ¡°Although the Secret Realm turns into a small world after its transformation, its origin remains the Beast Master. It won¡¯t fall apart directly after the death of the Beast Master, but it loses any further possibilities.¡±
¡°Also, with the passage of time, the anchoring function of the Secret Realm Tower will gradually weaken. When the Secret Realm Tower can no longer hold it, this small world will separate from the main world.¡±
¡°Without the support of the main world and the Beast Master, this small world will gradually lose its vitality and then step into death.¡±
After hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi fully understood but quickly asked, ¡°Master, did you bring us here just to understand the origin of the Secret Realm?¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, saying, ¡°Of course not.¡±
As he spoke, Bai Heguang nced at the Jiuyou Darkbird, which understood immediately and flew towards the depths of the forest with a howl.
Not long after, Bai Qi heard a rustling sound of falling trees, followed by a group of pale gray creatures appearing before him.
¡°Go, summon your main pet and defeat these creatures.¡±
Bai Heguang stepped back, clearly indicating that he had no intention of participating in this battle.
Given Bai Heguang¡¯s scarcity of words, it seemed abrupt to start practicing now.
Bai Qi nced at the gray ferocious beasts charging at them. Their levels varied, but the highest was only the third rank, clearly picked by the Jiuyou Darkbird.
However, these beasts felt like this world, alsocking in vitality, they resembled the undead but seemed slightly different.
Roar!
While Bai Qi was pondering, the beasts had already reached him. Without any hesitation, he summoned Alpha directly.
Crackling!
(Boss, this ce is dangerous. Why are you here!)
Alpha detected the danger here at the first moment. Seeing the beasts charging at them, he immediately enteredbat mode, conjuring dozens of Ice Crystal Barriers in a split second, blocking the beasts¡¯ path.
However, the sheer number of these beasts, along with the advancing Jiuyou Darkbird, made the Ice Crystal Barrier shatter in just a moment.
But this was just what Alpha had anticipated. The shattered ice turned into a dust that enshrouded the beasts, obstructing their vision and scent. Before they could break free from the influence of the ice fog, dozens of sword des from behind Alpha swept into the fog. The sound of des cutting through flesh followed.
These sword des were conjured in advance by Alpha and had runes attached to them. Their power waspletely different from the temporary des created during a de Storm.
However, instead of feeling thrilled, Alpha dispelled the ice fog to reveal the true faces of these beasts.
Alpha¡¯s sword des had inflicted significant damage on them, and some of the weaker ones had even been dismembered.
But even so, not a drop of blood flowed from these beasts. What was more outrageous was that no matter how severely injured they were, they were still charging at Alpha as if he had barely scratched some models.
Damn, have they all turned into zombies?
Wait, it seems a bit different.
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes, studying these strange creatures that seemed neither alive nor dead, and said, ¡°Alpha, use the Shadow Lotus Skill.¡±
Alpha nodded. Countless bones twined with Shadow Department Power emerged from the ground, enveloping all the beasts like lotuses.
However, before the Shadow Lotus could close, the beastsunched their attacks.
Fireballs, Rock Spikes, Wind des¡
Various Elemental skills were released from these dying creatures, directly breaking the Shadow Lotus. Even more, one of them had released a Holy Light Skill that restored some injured beasts.
They could release multiple Elemental attacks and withstood the Holy Light; these creatures were certainly not undead!
¡°Dad, isn¡¯t it too hard for Bai Qi to face so many Dead Beasts alone?¡±
Bai Qiucha, who had clearly seen these strange beasts before, asked with some concern.
¡°It¡¯s fine. Bai Qi hasn¡¯t taken it seriously yet. These beasts are nothing to be afraid of.¡±
No sooner had the words fallen than Alphaunched a new offensive. A breath of Withering Power sprayed out enveloping all the beasts. When the Withering Breath dissipated, the beasts had lost all vitality, falling to the ground.
¡°Have you already integrated the Power of Death into your skills?¡±
Bai Heguang¡¯s eyebrows shot up. He immediately perceived the effects of the Power of Death and was pleasantly surprised that Bai Qi had already started to apply the Power of Death inbat.
With such strong potential, Gusu City was destined to rise.
However, Bai Heguang¡¯s test for Bai Qi was not over. After these third and lower rank beasts hadpletely died, a fourth rank beast resembling a giant ape was driven over by the Jiuyou Darkbird.
¡°Alpha, strike first, and see if you can capture it alive.¡±
Crackling noises.
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded, holding the Withering Sword and the Gravity Sword in his hands, and charged towards the giant ape proactively.
In terms of destruction, the Withering Sword was undoubtedly the strongest, but in terms of control, the Gravity Sword was clearly superior.
However, the giant ape was a Four Stage creature after all, and Alpha didn¡¯t getcent, choosing to confront it with two swords.
Seeing that even this tiny creature, Alpha, dared to harass him, the giant ape instantly redirected its wrath from the Jiuyou Darkbird to Alpha. It pulled out a huge bone club from its spine and smashed it towards Alpha.
The giant ape¡¯s attack with the club was massive and swift, but before it evennded, Alpha was already in front of it, swinging his swords in a flurry of shes.
Roar!
The awakened Withering Power inflicted irreparable damage on the giant ape, and the Gravity Sword was constantly adding weight to the giant ape. In just a blink, this Four Stage giant ape was easily suppressed by Alpha in its ce.
So weak!
Too weak to be worth training against.
Watching Alpha easily eliminate the enemy, Bai Qi was increasingly puzzled, so he had Alpha go over and study the giant ape.
Crackling noises.
(Boss, this guy seems to have the Power of Death too, but it¡¯s very weak.)
Soon, Alpha reported back his findings and even proactively drew out a trace of the Power of Death.
Without the support of the Power of Death, the giant ape instantly became agonized and then began to age, die, and weather at a speed visible to the naked eye.
¡°This¡¡±
Seeing the giant ape¡¯s fate after losing the Power of Death, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised and seemed to understand why Bai Heguang had brought him here.
Sure enough, after Bai Qi discovered the seque of the Power of Death, Bai Heguang finally spoke, ¡°These pets had absorbed the Power of Death from this world and became neither dead nor alive. Although they can obtain an immortal body and retain their original state, once they lose the Power of Death, they will end up like this.¡±
As expected, such an overpowered skill as the Power of Death couldn¡¯t possibly exist without any repercussions.
However, Alpha¡¯s Power of Death was fused through evolution, it shouldn¡¯t be easily absorbed, right?
¡°Your pet has a highpatibility with the Power of Death, so there doesn¡¯t seem to be any problem with the fusion for now. But if one day you¡¯re pushed to the limit and the Power of Death ispletely depleted, not only your pet, but also you, will be affected.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Master, the abilities of the Power of Death and the Withering Power are very simr, they should be of the same origin, so why is Master so concerned about it?¡±
This question had puzzled him for a while. Both skills deprived vitality, and the difference between the Power of Death and Withering Power seemed to only be in speed; Withering Power could do everything else.
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s question, an expression of ¡°as expected¡± crossed Bai Heguang¡¯s face, ¡°I was surprised that you awakened the Withering Power, perhaps it¡¯s destined for you to master the Power of Death.¡±
Bai Heguang waved to the Jiuyou Darkbird, which immediately shrank to the size of amon sparrow andnded on Bai Heguang¡¯s shoulder.
¡°In the current Federation¡¯s Pet System, the Undead Department is the most special Pro, not for anything else, but because the Undead return to the world as the dead.¡±
¡°But in a way, undead creatures haven¡¯t actually died, they¡¯ve juste back to life with the power of the Shadow Department.¡±
Could it be interpreted that way?
Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang with a touch of surprise, obviously curious about his novel exnation.
But from Bai Heguang¡¯s words, it seems that Undead isn¡¯t really dead, and the Power of Death is?
¡°The Power of Death, in the true sense, causes pets to lose their vitality, including their physical body, soul, and even consciousness.¡±
Bai Heguang looked at the giant ape, which had even its bones weathering, ¡°In a way, these Dead Beasts are technically dead. What sustains their movement is just the trace of the Power of Death in their bodies.¡±
¡°So, bing Undead doesn¡¯t count as death, but being eroded by the Power of Death does?¡±
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and drew a conclusion.
Bai Heguang nodded, ¡°So, your task this time is to turn the Power of Death into a skill of your pet itself. Only in this way can you avoid the possibility ofplete annihtion when the Power of Death leaves the body.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. The surplus Power of Death was now gathered in the Withering Sword. If he wanted to turn it into Alpha¡¯s skill entirely, wouldn¡¯t he have to awaken the Withering Breath?
Could he really awaken a Super Skill?
Thinking of this, Bai Qi suddenly thought of the Primordial Era creature that Bai Heguang had mentioned before.
Alpha¡¯s Power of Death was obtained from its blood, didn¡¯t that mean it had already mastered the Power of Death?
Chapter 199 - 195: Super Skill Awakening?
Chapter 199: Chapter 195: Super Skill Awakening?
Trantor: 549690339
The Stone Tower Secret Realm.
With the Withering Sword in hand, Alpha effortlessly weaved through a group of dead beasts, each swing of the sword taking the lives of a cluster of them.
After Alpha informed Bai Heguang that the skill, Withering Breath, had reached the awakening level of proficiency, Bai Heguang had Alpha only use this skill inbat, and pitted against him were these endless dead beasts.
Arwoo?
(Human, are we just going to keep sitting here like idiots?)
Looking at Alpha ravaging the battlefield, Beta yawned in boredom, swaying slightly, feeling uneasy all over.
Since Beta had entered this world, it had sensed an aura that made it feel ufortable, from flesh to soul.
Although there was no basis for it, but Beta always had a hunch that it was dangerous to stay here.
¡°I need to observe Alpha¡¯s improvement with the Withering Breath skill, so just sit here quietly.¡±
Schuck¡¯s electronic eye kept a firm lock on Alpha, the screens extending from his body continuously updated with patterns of energy changes on Alpha, clearly recording the awakening process of the super skill in real-time.
Although Bai Heguang hadn¡¯t explicitly mentioned it, having Alpha mindlessly ughter these dead beasts like this must have something to do with the awakening of Withering Breath. By recording it now, they might be able to predict the awakening process of other super skills in advance.
Ahwoo¡
(But this is so boring for me¡)
Beta yawned again,ying on the ground, intending on getting some sleep but couldn¡¯t getfortable. It adjusted its position and started reciting the Great Compassion Mantra.
Since Schuck hadbined the Great Compassion Mantra with meditation, every time Beta recited the Great Compassion Mantra, it felt an incredible lightness of soul and a steady increase in spirit power.
So when Schuck got busy, making him follow, Beta would use this method to pass the time.
While Beta was reciting the Great Compassion Mantra, a special spiritual wave spread outwards, and Bai Qi, who was nearby, suddenly felt calmer, and even his thinking seemed to speed up significantly.
Bai Qi curiously nced at Beta, fleetingly seeing a great monk preaching wisdom, but on a closer look, it was still Beta¡¯s unmistakable dog face.
¡°Damn, is Beta considering bing a monk? Are the scriptures those monks spread in their past life real?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Because of the contract, he could naturally sense the changes in Beta¡¯s soul.
This state was simr to when he was meditating, no, it might even be better.
¡°Should I try it sometime?¡±
Bai Qi hesitated, unconsciously imagining himself in a Buddhist robe,passionately saying ¡®Namaste¡¯ to others.
¡°No, forget it. I can¡¯t ept such styles.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly,pletely putting the thought out of his mind.
¡°Bai Qi, is Alpha still practicing?¡±
At this moment, Bai Qiucha walked over from the side, and looked at Alpha, who was still engaged in battle, with some surprise.
They had arrived in this secret realm three days ago already, and Alpha seemed to have never stopped. Even though undead creatures had infinite stamina, their energy value was still limited. Like Alpha, practicing super skills, they should have been exhausted by now.
To this, Bai Qi shrugged, pointed at Schuck¡¯s monitoring screen, and said, ¡°After Alpha kills those dead beasts, it seems like the power of death in their bodies gets absorbed by the Withering Sword, so Alpha does not appear to have any expenditure.¡±
Watching the ck energy that continuously funnelled towards Alpha on the screen, Bai Qiucha nodded.
¡°By the way, where¡¯s the teacher?¡±
Bai Qi nced behind Bai Qiucha but did not find Bai Heguang.
¡°My dad said he had something urgent, so he made us wait here.¡±
¡°Huh, so you¡¯re saying we¡¯re stranded here?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, before my dad left, he cleared this ce out. Creatures above the fourth grade were all dealt with, so there won¡¯t be any danger. Also, my dad will be back in at most ten days to half a month.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi seeming a little nervous, Bai Qiucha quickly reassured him.
What I¡¯m worried about isn¡¯t the beasts, it¡¯s this world!
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly, before, he didn¡¯t know and it was okay, but now he knew exactly what abandoned secret realms were like. If it weren¡¯t for legends to protect them, he would absolutely not go near such ces.
A tiny world that was aimlessly drifting in the void and on the brink of death. If anything goes wrong, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to escape.
And what¡¯s with that nonchnt look? So this disorder is not asional but frequent?
Is it possible to be beaten to death for voluntarily severing the teacher-student rtionship with a titled legend?
Asking online, quite urgent.
Guagua¡
Just then, a screeching sound entered the ears of the two. Beta, who was meditating and reciting mantras, also looked up simultaneously, growling at the sky.
Bai Qi, who heard the noise, looked over and saw that a ck crow had somehow appeared on top of a big tree, its blood ¨C red eyes firmly fixed on Alpha, revealing an obvious greed.
Schuck immediately scanned the crow and said, ¡°I can¡¯t detect its exact energy value, but judging from the richness of the power of death, this dead beast¡¯s level is at least four grades.¡±
¡°A fourth-grade dead beast, huh.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, looking at Alpha who was also staring at the crow, he said, ¡°Alpha, let¡¯s test that out.¡±
Click, tter.
(Okay!)
Alpha silently nodded, with his spine trembling, extended crystalline bone wings quickly, while the sword des that were spinning behind his head also attached themselves to the bone wings.
Then, Alpha gently vibrated his wings, a burst of airflow was generated out of thin air, which lifted Alpha to fly.
¡°Bai Qi, you are really versatile. I have a lot to learn from you.¡±
Looking at Alpha, who was not slow in the air at all, Bai Qiucha couldn¡¯t help but admire.
No wonder his father always told him that although his strength was strong, his application was too poor and he did not utilize the power of the Skeleton Dragon. He didn¡¯t feel it before, but after encountering Bai Qi, he realized this.
Even in the Association, Bai Qi¡¯s understanding and application of skills were far superior to others. His tactics were unimaginable.
The inspiration for the dragon form he used to defeat Li Mu¡¯s Sand Land Dragon came from Bai Qi.
¡°Don¡¯t bother learning from me, I¡¯m afraid the teacher will me me for spoiling you.¡±
Bai Heguang did not seem to like shy things, which could be seen from Bai Qiucha¡¯s previous fighting style ¨C ¨C he basically broke through with force.
In contrast, Bai Qi was quite the opposite. For example, Alpha¡¯s Withering Breath, which originated from dragon¡¯s breath, was normally sprayed. It has a huge radius of affect, true AOE.
But when Bai Qi got it, it became an enchantment skill, used to increase the power of other attacks.
If Bai Heguang hadn¡¯t witnessed it with his own eyes, Bai Qi might have received a scolding.
If Bai Qi were to spoil his own son as well, being expelled from the academy would be considered a lenient punishment.
While the two were chatting, Alpha had already flown to the ck Death Crow. However, the crow did not express a desire to start the fight ahead of time, but stared at Alpha with red eyes.
¡°Did ite here to pose? Alpha, deal with him!¡±
Bai Qi looked somewhat puzzled at the ck Death Crow, with no intention of prolonging the standoff; Alpha also drew his sword rapidly and advanced.
Caw, caw!
Seeing Alpha initiate the attack, the ck Death Crow finally made its move. It pped its wings to easily avoid Alpha¡¯s strike while simultaneously regurgitating a jet of ck energy from its mouth, heading straight for Alpha.
¡°Power of Death?¡±
Bai Qi was immediately able to discern the property of the ck energy sphere. Simrly, Alpha chose not to resist and dodged.
The ck energy bubblended on the ground, and the somewhat green ground instantly decolorized, appearing to havepletely lost its vitality.
What a terrifying breath!
¡°A fourth-tier Dead Beast can control the Power of Death?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s expression quickly turned serious, and Bai Qiucha was also ready to summon the Bone Dragon.
With their power, they naturally wouldn¡¯t take an average fourth-tier creature seriously, but when dealing with the Power of Death, they had to be more cautious.
After all, he¡¯d seen firsthand the aftermath of his father¡¯s Jiuyou Darkbird using the Power of Death.
However, the ck Death Crow¡¯s attack rate was not high. After a short period of adaptation, Alpha managed to regain his rhythm, adeptly avoiding the crow¡¯s breath attack and quickly approaching the crow¡¯s side to stab the crow with his sword.
Due to the corrosion of the Power of Death, the ck Death Crow¡¯s body strength was weak like that of other dead beasts.
However, this ck Death Crow did not die immediately like the previous dead beasts. Instead, it ignored the wound on its body and spewed arge breath of attack towards Alpha.
Seeing this, Alpha immediately tried to retract his sword and dodge, but a strong suction force suddenly exploded from within the crow¡¯s body, forcibly pulling the Power of Death contained the Withering Sword.
This Power of Death was forcibly gathered within the Withering Sword. When sucked by apatible force, it immediately dissipated a part of it.
Caw, caw, caw!
After absorbing the Power of Death, the ck Death Crow suddenly became excited, its alreadyrge body further inted with a ck smoke wrapping around it, tightly entangling the Withering Sword and Alpha, it seemed to intend to swallow Alpha.
Not only that, the dead beasts that were watching the battle had also been affected. The Power of Death within their bodies was forcibly drawn out and entered the ck Death Crow¡¯s body.
Was it bing stronger?
¡°Alpha, break free from it!¡±
Seeing the situation, Bai Qi immediately instructed Alpha. Schuck also initiated the Mechanical Lord, aiming all the cannons at the ck Death Crow.
Click, tter.
(Boss, don¡¯t act rashly.)
Just at that moment, Alpha actively contacted Bai Qi and Husky, then he spread his wings, the sword des immediately buzzed out, and in the blink of an eye, he sliced the ck Death Crow into fragments, breaking free from the ck Death Crow, but did not continue to attack, instead, stupefied, he stared at the Withering Sword in his hand.
It seemed like the ck Death Crow didn¡¯t mind this kind of damage, its actual body directly vaporized and avoided the de¡¯s attack, enveloping Alpha.
But, just when the ck fog was about to envelop Alpha, it sensed something and abruptly halted, circling around Alpha.
Meanwhile, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha stared at each other, both seeming quite bewildered.
That feeling, was that sovereign status?
Chapter 200 - 196: Did They Slay an Entire Small

World?
Trantor: 549690339 |
¡°Cha, have you ever heard our teacher mention Lord Creatures gaining a King¡¯s perspective prematurely?¡±
Bai Qi, looking up at the ck Death Crow that wouldn¡¯t dare to approach
Alpha¡¯s well-defined area, couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°I have heard of Elite Creatures gaining Intimidation prematurely, but a King s perspective¡ not really.¡±
Bai Qiucha shook his head, looking at Alpha who was standing in the sky with a sword. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°Perhaps, Alpha¡¯s Super Skill has awakenedpletely?¡±
Bai Qi, upon hearing this, instantly checked the status of Alpha through the contract. The Withering Breath was still in the awakening state and had not changed in the slightest.
¡°It has not yet fully awakened. I suspect it may have something to do with the
Power of Death.¡±
Croak, croak, croak!
Perhaps unable to resist the allure of the purest Power of Death, the ck
Death Crow charged at Alpha after a brief observation.
At the same time, Alpha awoke from his deep thoughts and shed with his sword. The Power of Death stored within it poured out, striking toward the
ck Death Crow.
Seeing food offering itself, the ck Death Crow didn¡¯t hesitate to erge its form and swallow all the Power of Death, growing to a frightening size of dozens of feet before rapidly shrinking down to the size of an ordinary crow.
Although its size had decreased, the ck Death Crow now exuded a more terrifying aura, and from afar, it somewhat resembled Bai Heguang¡¯s Jiuyou
Darkbird.
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately summoned the Skeleton Dragon, nning to initiate the secret method and unlock the power of the Skeleton Dragon.
The ck Death Crow quickly noticed Bai Qiucha¡¯s move and directly headed
toward her.
The crackling sound of bones!
(Our fight is not over yet!)
just as the ck Death Crow made its move, Alpha intercepted it, opened his mouth and discharged Withering Breath, enveloping the ck Death Crow.
Croak, croak!
The ck Death Crow, having absorbed the Power of Death, looked at Alpha s futile struggles with disdain in its blood-red eyes. It sucked in all the Withering Breath, causing Alpha¡¯s Energy Value to drastically decrease.
¡°I must do something now!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately elerated her unlocking movement. The Skeleton Dragon¡¯s body began to swell, revealing tiny cracks on its pale white bones, as if some horrifying creature was about to break out.
¡°Wait a minute, it seems that Alpha is okay.¡±
Just then, Bai Qi interrupted Bai Qiucha¡¯s actions. Bai Qiucha looked up to see that the ck Death Crow had stopped absorbing the energy and even had spit some out.
¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±
Perplexed, Bai Qiucha looked up at the sky, asking.
¡°God knows, maybe it¡¯s overfed?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Looking at Alpha¡¯s Energy Value, a wicked grin appeared on his face.
Energy Value: 2100W
After ascending to the Four Stage, Alpha¡¯s energy value immediately soared to over eight million. The ck Death Crow absorbed approximately three- fourths of Alpha¡¯s energy value and yet there was still over two million left.
And this energy was enough for Alpha to fight.
However, Alpha seemed to have other ns, he simply thrust his crystal- colored sword into the ck Death Crow.
The ck Death Crow, whether due to an overload of energy or some other reason, failed to dodge Alpha¡¯s attack, and the sword pierced its body, further
injecting energy.
Croak,croak!
As Alpha continued to pour in energy, the ck Death Crow suddenly writhed in agony. The Power of Death, which had previously given it an incrediblefort, now began to run rampant within it, taking away some of its strength
with each fluctuation.
Next, to the surprise of Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, the ck Death Crow gradually shriveled up while the crystal sword was again stained ck.
When the crystal sword turnedpletely ck, the ck Death Crow had disappeared.
¡°Was it devoured?¡±
Bai Qi furrowed his brows, just about to summon Alpha back, when an eerie light appeared around Alpha. The light, bearing a ck aura, began to rapidly spread around, as if wanting to disce everything else.
However, the light didn¡¯t get far before it appeared to be restricted and recoiled back onto the sword held by Alpha, which started to change from a broad heavy sword to a ck long sword with a slender de.
When the transformation of the long sword waspleted, the light faded
away.
The crackling sound of bones!
(Boss, it seems like I have sessfully awakened Withering Breath!)
¡°Awakened sessfully?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up as he immediately summoned Alpha to his side to check his status.

[Skill Description]: A weapon formed by the Power of Death gathering throughout the body. With one sh, life ends!
Sword of Death?
Was this the skill awakened from Withering Breath?
Looking at the description that seemed somewhat simr to Withering Breath, Bai Qi¡¯s emotions wereplex.
He thought he could directly evolve towards King¡¯s Stance and thrash those of the same rank. Still, instead, he developed an unknown-level skill. Bai Qi didn¡¯t
know whether to feel happy or upset.
¡°How is it, is Alpha okay?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s distressed expression, Bai Qiucha couldn¡¯t help but worry.
¡°Nothing¡¯s wrong, Alpha just awakened Withering Breath.
Bai Qiucha:¡±¡¡±
Awakening a Super Skill is no big deal?
The corner of Bai Qiucha¡¯s eyes twitched slightly, for the first time in her life, , she had the impulse to beat someone up. But she held back, asking, ¡°Is it King s
Stance?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, saying, ¡°It seems to have failed to awaken, evolving into
a skill of an unknown level.¡±
With that, Bai Qi outlined the situation with the Sword of Death for Bai Qiucha.
¡°Sword of Death¡ Since the pet beast has given this information, the skill should have evolved sessfully. But it¡¯s likely it was restricted by Alpha¡¯s race level, hence it didn¡¯t transform into King¡¯s Stance.¡±
Bai Qiucha quickly came up with the most reasonable exnation, and Bai Qi epted this exnation as well.
¡°Since it has sessfully awakened, let¡¯s call it a Transcendent Level skill.
Bai Qi looked at the ck long sword in Alpha¡¯s hand, determining a whole new skill level.
¡°Transcendent Level? That¡¯s right, it truly is surpassing the norm. Such a name duly fits.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, looking at the reborn Alpha, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, what about another battle, a fair one, and let¡¯s count this as a new skill test?
Not much time has passed since their battle in Gusu City, but Bai Qi¡¯s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Bai Qiucha was curious whether she could still defeat Bai Qi now.
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi promptly agreed to Bai Qiucha¡¯s suggestion. A sparring partner who was free and durable, why not.
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s promise, Bai Qiucha satisfactorily nodded, then directly entered Skeleton Armor mode. A nce at the proportions of the Skeleton Dragon Armor was enough to give the impression of powerful strength.
But she couldn¡¯t understand why her helmet seemed somewhat heavy, especially the back of the head, which clearly disrupted the overall proportions.
¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±
Under Bai Qi¡¯s suspicious gaze, Bai Qiucha once again felt for her helmet at the back of her head, and upon ensuring its uracy, she looked at Bai Qi.
¡°Oh, alright.¡±
Alpha and Bai Qiucha both got ready to battle; one held a Bone Long Spear, the other had a ck Long Sword. Looking at them, it seemed as if two fully armed warriors were getting ready for a duel.
¡°Schuck, make a record.¡±
Bai Qi patted Schuck by his side, then announced, ¡°The duel begins!¡±
As soon as he spoke, Bai Qiucha took the initiative to attack, taking a heavy step, transforming into an afterimage, and stabbing towards Alpha with her spear.
But Alpha was faster. The instant Bai Qiucha attacked, Alpha moved too, evading Bai Qiucha¡¯s stab, gliding along the spear and arriving in front of Bai Qiucha in an instant, swinging the sword.
The longer, the stronger. The shorter, the riskier.
Alpha naturally knew how to leverage his weapon¡¯s advantage.
Seeing so reactive, Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t get flustered; the Bone Long Spear in her hands underwent a sudden change, transforming direct into a Bone Scythe. With a strongbackward sh, it went straight towards Alpha¡¯s back, even
faster than him.
As the origin of Alpha¡¯s Skeleton Maniption, Bai Qiucha¡¯s weapon change speed was naturally fast too.
Ding!
Just as the Bone Scythe was about to hit Alpha, Alpha¡¯s wrist rotated at a strange angle, blocking the Sword of Death in front of the de of the scythe. The ck sword de cut into the Bone Scythe.
How sharp it was!
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha continued, spinning, a Soul Long Knife suddenly appearing in her hands, shing at Alpha from an angle.
It was indeed the activation of the soul within the Bone Dragon Body.
Seeing this, Alpha¡¯s arm rotated as if it were a wheel, directly severing the Bone Scythe, attacking Bai Qiucha¡¯s Soul Sword head on.
As the sword and knife met, the Soul de shattered instantaneously, and the Sword of Death went straight towards Bai Qiucha, seemingly unable to withhold its attack.
¡°Alpha, stop!¡±
The Bone Scythe and the Soul de could both be severed; who knew whether Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon Armor could withstand the Sword of Death.
If anything happened to Bai Qiucha, he would regret it eternally.
Luckily, Alpha¡¯s control was good, and he forcibly changed the attack direction of the Sword of Death. It passed by Bai Qiucha¡¯s helmet, stabbing into the ground.
Seeing that Bai Qiucha was alright, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. As he was about to ask about her condition, the ground below suddenly shook violently. The forest, which was already half-dead, rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The emerald green sky above turned gloomy.
Aow?
(Human, what happened? Why do I feel like this ce is about to be destroyed?) Beta woke up from his meditation and looked around with horror on his face.
¡°How would I know what happened.
Bai Qi¡¯s face was bitter. Looking at the Sword of Death still embedded in the ground, a terrifying thought crossed his mind.
Did Alpha just destroy a mini-world with a single sh?
Chapter 201 - 197: Gains and Losses
Chapter 201: Chapter 197: Gains and Losses
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing the greatly changed Stone Tower Secret Realm environment, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha immediately moved closer together, carefully observing the surrounding situation.
Although it seemed a bit absurd, the Stone Tower Secret Realm was indeed as Bai Qi imagined. Aside from the forest, the ground also began to decay, and strange whirlpools even appeared in the sky above, as if brewing a terrifying storm.
This small world was indeed on the path to death!
At that moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, swept up Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, and quickly left the Stone Tower Secret Realm, returning to the space rift.
Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang who was standing on Jiuyou Darkbird¡¯s back and said, ¡°Teacher, didn¡¯t you leave?¡±
¡°Hmm, I just left when I noticed a space storm heading towards the Stone Tower Secret Realm, so I came back.¡±
So, it was a space storm. He had thought that Alpha had killed a small world with a single sword strike.
Bai Heguang nodded, nced at the ck long sword in Alpha¡¯s hand, and said, ¡°Has your beast awakened sessfully?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°It has awakened sessfully, but I don¡¯t know the level of the skill, so I named it Transcendent Level.¡±
Silent, Bai Heguang said, ¡°Indeed, there has never been a precedent of a Four Stage Beast Master awakening a super skill. ¡®Transcendent¡¯¡ Very good.¡±
If there was no precedent, then did hee here to practice? His teacher seems to think highly of him.
Bai Qi licked his lips, then suddenly felt a tremor in his surroundings. Immediately afterwards, Jiuyou Darkbird sped up its pace and moved away from the Stone Tower Secret Realm.
¡°This space storm is strong, the Stone Tower Secret Realm probably can¡¯t be saved.¡±
Jiuyou Darkbird said regretfully, looking back at the Stone Tower Secret Realm that had instantly disappeared into the space storm, but it showed no intention of leaving.
Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang and asked, ¡°Teacher, where are we going now?¡±
¡°Wait for the space storm to end.¡±
Bai Heguang answered tly, then stopped talking. He just stared intently at the Stone Tower Secret Realm that was continuously disintegrating in the space storm, seemingly lost in thought.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qj didn¡¯t ask further. He looked at Bai Qiucha, who also seemed bewildered.
The space storm came suddenly and then quietly disappeared. The previously turbulent space rift immediately calmed down.
However, the Stone Tower Secret Realm had disappeared, leaving only some broken stones behind.
The Secret Realm was already on the brink of death. Under the blow of the space storm, it directly disintegrated.
It seemed that Bai Heguang was waiting for this moment. After inspecting the surroundings, Jiuyou Darkbird spat out a ck me, wrapping the broken stones, and in an instant, all was burned to nihility.
Is that¡ the power of death?
The moment the ck me appeared, Bai Qi felt a power that originated from the same source as Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death.
So Jiuyou Darkbird had also mastered the power of death?
It made sense. If he hadn¡¯t mastered it himself, how could his teacher have taught him how to control it?
Soon, Jiuyou Darkbird retracted the me and brought back some things with it.
¡°This is¡ Space Crystal Stone?!¡±
Bai Qj immediately recognized the crystals, fully demonstrating his academic excellence.
[Material Name]: Space Crystal Stone
[Material Level]: Mythical Level
¡°These are just fragments, not yet at the mythical level quality.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head and said,¡± If it were a whole Space Crystal Stone, it could be used to construct a Secret Realm Tower. Now, these can only be used to strengthen a Secret Realm.¡±
While saying that, Bai Heguang divided the fragments into two parts and gave them to Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, saying, ¡°Both of you have personal Secret Realms. These fragments are perfect for enhancing them.¡±
¡°Thank you, Teacher.¡±
Bai Qj took the space crystal fragments, and his mind immediately went to Delta.
Delta had not tried any space materials yet. He could let him try it when he got back.
Having collected the space crystal fragments, Bai Heguang didn¡¯t stay there. He took them with him and left the space rift, returning to the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest.
¡°I have something to deal with. You two continue training here. As for the training¡¡±
Bai Heguang paused, and a Soul Reaper, holding a bloody scythe, crawled out of the array.
[Name]: Blood Scythe Wraith
[Race]: Soul Race
[Bloodline Level]: Emperor-level
[Introduction]: A harvester of life, its bloody scythe can ignore most defenses and directly reap the souls of enemies. It is one of the most ferocious creatures in the Soul Race.
¡°The Blood Scythe Wraith will protect you and tell you what to train.¡±
Bai Heguang instructed the Blood Scythe Wraith a few words, then without waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s response, he directly disappeared into the horizon with Jiuyou Darkbird.
¡°Are all of the Titled Legendary always this busy?¡±
Looking at Bai Heguang who seemed to never rest, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butment.
¡°It¡¯s normal; you¡¯ll get used to it.¡±
Bai Qiucha shrugged casually, seemingly ustomed to this kind of life. He then turned with interest to look at Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death and said, ¡°Our fight was interrupted earlier, shall we continue?¡±
The Sword of Death, which could easily slice through his skeleton scythe and Soul de, was way more powerful than he had imagined. Naturally, he wanted to conclude the fight that had just started.
¡°Let¡¯s drop it. Alpha doesn¡¯t seem to have full control over the Sword of Death yet.¡±
Bai Qj shookhis head, refusing Bai Qiucha¡¯s invitation for a duel.
Although he hadn¡¯t injured Bai Qiucha in their previous fight, it was still a close call. After all, he wasn¡¯t sure if Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Armor could withstand the Sword of Death.
If it didn¡¯t, Bai Qiucha would be in real trouble.
However, he was very satisfied with the destructive power of the Sword of Death.
It was enough that it could sever the skeleton scythe, but the fact that it could cut through the Soul de¡ªwhat did that mean? Didn¡¯t it mean that no tangible or intangible attacks or even defenses could withstand Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death?
¡°Alpha, try to channel the Power of Death and see what effect it has?¡±
Clickety-ck.
(¡°Boss, I don¡¯t think I can do that.¡±)
¡°You can¡¯t?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback. He swiftly remembered the skill description of the Sword of Death, and his face instantly turned bitter.
¡°So this really does incorporate all the Power of Death in the body, without leaving any to fend off¡¡±
At this point, Alpha could no longer casually channel the Withering Power to add buffs to other attacks like before. Even when using skills now, all it did was increase the destructive power of the Sword of Death in his hand.
Bai Qi moved his lips a bit. The inability to release the Power of Death meant that forms like machine gun mode and sniper mode were basically scrapped. He also couldn¡¯t apply it to the Sword de Storm like before.
In other words, Alpha had sacrificed a variety of flexible tactics for a powerful closebat attack method. It was a give-and-take situation.
¡°But, I have a feeling that I¡¯ve got the short end of the stick. How am I supposed to show off now-¡±
Bai Qi sighed, looked at the somewhat downcast Alpha, and quickly reassured him, ¡°It¡¯s okay. We still have the Sword de Storm for ranged attacks, and enhancing closebat isn¡¯t bad, after all, closebat is your forte.¡± Clickety-ck.
Alpha nodded, as was his habit, and tried to suspend the Sword of Death behind him. He found, however, that no matter whether it was the Control Object Rune or the Power of Wind, neither could lift the Sword of Death. In the end, it was Alpha who created a hand behind him to grasp the Sword of Death.
Damn, it can¡¯t even control the sword¡
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel the urge to sigh again, but the Blood Scythe Wraith suddenly came up to Alpha and said, ¡°Its Bloodline Level is too low and can¡¯t withstand such a degree of power. If you want to control the Power of Death, you¡¯d better upgrade your pet¡¯s Bloodline Level.¡±
¡°Bloodline Level is too low?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned at first, then quickly reced by joy. He asked in return, ¡°You mean, as long as Alpha¡¯s Bloodline Level is upgraded to King-level, he¡¯ll be able to control the Power of Death?¡±
The Blood Scythe Wraith nodded, and then drifted behind Bai Qiucha, saying, ¡°Mr. Cha, you should not fight him until he can skillfully control the Power of Death, or you might easily get injured.¡±
¡°Um, okay.¡±
Bai Qiucha reluctantly nodded. He thought that Bai Qi would be able to fight him evenly after upgrading to Four Stage, but now he ran into this situation, which was quite a bummer.
But this way, Xiao Yuan and the others probably couldn¡¯t challenge Bai Qi in the short term. As for when Alpha mastered the Sword of Death,
Shouldn¡¯t there be few who can beat Bai Qi? After all, this skill is somewhat outrageous.
Because they had just emerged from the Stone Tower Secret Realm, the Blood Scythe Wraith had no intention of letting them continue training. Therefore, they each returned to their own secret realms to rest.
After returning to the Secret Realm Base, Alpha quite conscientiously found a vacant spot to familiarize himself with the Sword of Death. Bai Qi, on the other hand, immediately summoned Delta and ced the Space Crystal Fragments he had just obtained in front of him.
¡°Delta, try to see the effect of the Space Material.¡±
Delta nodded and willingly used its forehead to touch the Space Crystal Fragments.
Without any surprise, the Evolution Light appeared again on Delta, and its originally robust shape gradually elongated into a Dapeng.
[Name]: Sky Traveling Peng
[Nature]: Space Department
[Bloodline Level]: Lower King
[Description]: A Dapeng that wanders through the Void is an extremely tough creature capable of dodging or ambushing enemies by drilling into the Void.
A creature of the Space Department!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes brightened at the sight, and he immediately started the timer.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes¡
A full ten minutes passed, and Delta hadn¡¯t devolved again.
Did it mean that the evolution had seeded?
Watching Delta, which was still expanding in size, Bai Qi¡¯s expression slowly changed from surprise to delight.
So it wasn¡¯t that Delta couldn¡¯t evolve, but that the effect of the regr material wasn¡¯t strong enough.
However, upon evolving to a King-level creature, why wasn¡¯t there any feedback?
Bai Qi checked again. Neither his body nor his Spirit Power had received any improvement, and he had not received any new skill information transmitted from Delta.
What a familiar rhythm, it must not havepleted its evolution¡
Chapter 202 - 198: Deltas First Battle
Chapter 202: Chapter 198: Delta¡¯s First Battle
Trantor: 549690339
As expected, under Bai Qi¡¯s regretful gaze, Delta¡¯s new evolutionary form devolved halfway back after enduring for half an hour.
¡°Space department didn¡¯t work, and I guess Spiritual would also be tricky, so I have to rely on Temporal in the end?¡±
Looking at Delta, who was somewhat weakened due to the devolution, Bai Qi started to ponder over the future developmental directive for Delta while feeding it with Green Dragon Scales to replenish its strength.
¡°However, this evolutionsted twenty minutes longer than usual, which shows that Delta has a stronger tolerance for Space Materials. It might be viable to cultivate it in this direction.¡±
¡°We will test the Spiritual materials next, as for Temporal¡¡±
Bai Qi gave a bitter smile. Space department material was quite rare, but it probably existed. However, he had only heard of Temporal material in books.
Blub, Blub.
(I am sorry, Master. I let you down again.)
Delta¡¯s eyes were full of disappointment. It lowered its head and didn¡¯t dare to meet Bai Qi¡¯s gaze. Seeing this, Bai Qi chuckled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Didn¡¯t we make progress yet again? Do you feel any changes in your body?¡±
¡°Changes?¡±
Delta thought for a moment and said, ¡°I think so, but it seems like there isn¡¯t.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Delta had encountered this situation before. Despite each evolution ending in failure, Delta seemed to undergo some change as its evolution period continued to lengthen.
While some of these changes enhanced speed, others improved physical fitness, and some even enhanced spirit power. Still, most of these changes were directed towards enhancing the Energy Value.
Bai Qi boldly spected that if Delta could maintain the evolution for longer, it might learn a skill or two.
¡°Wested for half an hour this time. Maybe we can gain something.¡±
Bai Qi put his hand on Delta¡¯s head and started to check its data carefully.
[Name]: Ancestral Beast
[Nature]: None
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Growth Level]: Second Stage, Four Level
[Skills]: Savage Charge (Mid-Level ¨C Awakening), Heart of Evolution (High Level ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 4.1000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Savage Charge is awakening?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes brightened, and he immediately focused his spirit power on Savage Charge.
[Skill Name]: Savage Charge
[Skill Level]: Mid-Level
[Skill Description]: Basic skill, it damages the enemy with a fast charge.
[Skill Upgrade]: ??? ¨C Awakening: Specific data not known.
Evolution n: Absorb arge amount of Space Power.
Originally there were five options, but now there was only one option left: to awaken the skill. Though there wasn¡¯t a detailed description of the skill, the Evolution n outlined the specifics clearly.
Failed to evolve sessfully but awakened a skill instead?
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. It really required special materials, and a Space Skill, which was not bad at all.
Delta, too, got the news that it could awaken a Space Skill from Bai Qi. It looked more determined, filled with joyous surprise.
If it could be stronger, then it needed to train harder.
Knowing Delta¡¯s direction of improvement, Bai Qi directly handed over all his remaining Space Crystal Fragments to Delta and activated the Evolution Egg.
He was merely testing the effects just now, but now that it was certain that the space department material was effective, it would naturally produce better results with the Evolution Egg.
Soon, Delta voluntarily broke the Golden Egg, and the Space Crystal Fragments disappearedpletely, but there was no change in Delta¡¯s body.
¡°Is it still short of materials?¡±
Looking at the Savage Charge that still hadn¡¯t awakened sessfully, Bai Qi scratched his head in annoyance.
Although he had evenly split the Space Crystal Fragments with Bai Qiucha, they were numerous enough but still couldn¡¯t help Delta awaken the skill.
¡°Should I borrow some from Qiucha?¡±
Giving it some thought, Bai Qi decided against it.
Considering Delta¡¯s feedback, it seemed like even if Bai Qiucha¡¯s Space Crystal Fragments were poured into it, it still wouldn¡¯t be enough. Unless they had aplete Space Crystal Stone, it might be able to awaken sessfully then.
An intermediate skill awakening that consumed Mythical Material, Delta truly lived up to its name of Gold-Swallowing Beast.
¡°You¡¯ve rested enough. Let¡¯s go out and see if there¡¯s anything else.¡±
Bai Qi put away Delta and left the Secret Realm, only to find that Bai Qiucha was already outside.
They were left here by Bai Heguang for training, and staying in their personal Secret Realm would not yield any results. Bai Qiucha just had a short rest and then she came out.
As for her purpose, it is naturally to find the Ferocious Beasts for actualbat training.
¡°Bai Qi, you are out as well. Good timing. I am nning to go deeper into the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest. Want to join?¡±
Because the Jiuyou Darkbird had previously rushed into the Stone Tower Secret Realm, the ferocious beasts in the vicinity had long since left. If they wanted to find beasts for battle, they had to go deeper.
¡°Alright!¡±
Bai Qi looked around and did not see the figure of the Blood Scythe Wraith. He knew that it must be hiding.
Bai Heguang left the Blood Scythe Wraith to monitor their training. If it did not hide, no beast would dare approach, making their training pointless.
Unless they encounter danger, the Blood Scythe Wraith would remain hidden.
Both of them were Four Stage Beast Masters, with strong physique. Even without summoning their pets, they quickly moved far away from the area that they initially deemed safe.
Hiss¡
Soon, the two encountered their first ferocious beast.
[Name]: Wind Snake
[Attribute]: Wind type
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Growth Level]: Third Stage, second level
[Introduction]: A creature living atop cliffs, capable of short flights with the help of strong winds.
¡°Only third stage?¡±
Seeing that the enemy only a third stage creature, both Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exhibited ack of interest.
¡°Should we continue atop my bone dragon instead? It might be faster and scare off some lower creatures.¡±
Bai Qiucha, upon noticing the situation, nned to summon his Bone Dragon to drive off the Wind Snake, but Bai Qi stopped him.
¡°It¡¯s fine, I can use this time to train my four pets.¡±
As for Alpha and Husky, they could probably instantly drain the Wind Snake of its energy and blood. However, they were a good match for Delta, whose level hadn¡¯t yet caught up.
It would be a confidence boost for Delta.
¡°Four pets? Alright.¡±
Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t object and stepped aside. After seeing the Ancestral Beast summoned by Bai Qi, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Ancestral Beast? Bai Qi, have you not yet decided its specific development direction?¡±
The reason why many Beast Masters preferred Ancestral Beasts was due to their diverse evolution types giving them more options. For those indecisive Beast Masters, it was definitely a good choice.
¡°Not really, it¡¯s just that Delta¡¯s situation is a bit peculiar.¡±
Bai Qi gave a simple exnation of Delta¡¯s situation, which caused Bai Qiucha to suddenly understand, but also worry a bit.
The training value of an Ancestral Beast that couldn¡¯t evolve was a bit low.
¡°It¡¯s fine, I think I¡¯ve found a solution.¡±
Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head and pointed to the Wind Snake still hovering in the air, ¡°Delta, try defeating it.¡±
Grunt Grunt!
(Okay, Master!)
Facing the Wind Snake which had the advantage of being in the air, Delta showed no signs of dismay and instead emitted fighting spirit, roaring violently at the Wind Snake!
Hiss¡
Seeing that the opponent only sent out a second stage creature, the Wind Snake felt provoken. It hissed and directed a whirlwind towards Delta.
The whirlwind was fast and reached Delta quickly, but it was effortlessly dodged by Delta.
Despite still being unable to evolve, Delta had received a lot of enhancements from numerous materials boosting both its reaction speed and basic attributes. Thus, dodging this sort of attack was a breeze.
The Wind Snake didn¡¯t mind, and once again spewed out several whirlwinds, even mixed with a few streams of venom.
Seeing this, Delta increased the frequency of its evasions using the terrain of the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest to avoid the Wind Snake¡¯s attacks.
However, the Wind Snake was a rightful inhabitance of the area; its knowledge of the terrain appeared superior to Delta¡¯s. Unknowingly, Delta was cornered.
But the Wind Snake had no intention of charging directly. After enshrouding its figure in a whirlwind, it sessfully randed a sneak attack on Delta from behind, opening its huge mouth.
As it¡¯s basic instinct to carry out sneak attacks was triggered. The Wind Snake was no exception.
However, just as the Wind Snake¡¯s fangs were about to bite into Delta, thetter suddenly spun around, and swiftly mmed into the beast.
Bang!
Caught off guard, the Wind Snake was sent flying by Delta, and its two sharp fangs shattered. They traced a graceful parab in the air before falling to the ground.
On the other hand, Delta didn¡¯t even suffer a scratch.
¡°This one¡¯s really tough¡¡±
Seeing the Wind Snake¡¯s failed sneak attack and Delta¡¯s counterattack, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
He had clearly seen the Wind Snake¡¯s fangs pierce Delta¡¯s skull, yet it had no effect. Instead, it was the Wind Snake that ended up injured.
Moreover, for such an innocent creature like Delta to pull off such a tricky move was surprising. It had sessfully executed a reverse sneak attack.
However, it was a pity that although Delta¡¯s head was tough, its Savage Charge needed a certain distance for eleration. The close distance hadn¡¯t been enough to deal a significant blow. Once the Wind Snake recovered from the shock, it immediately responded with a direct hit.
Hiss¡
After being tricked once, the Wind Snake was naturally hesitant to get close to Delta again. After instinctively retaliated, it immediately drew some distance.
However, before the Wind Snake could adjust its status and mount another attack, it saw a burst of light sh by, followed by a simr-looking ck Wind Snake flying toward it through the whirlwinds. Delta had already disappeared from sight.
Wind Snake:¡±???¡±
The already dazed Wind Snake was even more confused. As it btedly noticed the rade¡± darting toward it, it was instantly hit in the face by the ck Wind Snake. The considerable force of the impact was so high that it shattered the surrounding space, and the snake, now dizzy, fell from the sky.
After the Wind Snake fell, the ck snake slithered slowly back to Bai Qi¡¯s side, affectionately rubbing its head against Bai Qi¡¯s forehead.
¡°This is¡ your Ancestral Beast?¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at the dramatically transformed Delta in surprise, obviously not quite understanding.
¡°Delta easily evolves when affected by external energy, but with only a change in appearance.¡±
Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head, very pleased with its first battle performance.
Although it could only change forms and still only used Savage Charge, the effect was surprisingly good.
Moreover, it seemed as though some space attributes were included in that impact?
Chapter 203 - 199: Orochi?
Chapter 203: Chapter 199: Orochi?
Trantor: 549690339
¡°It can dothat?¡±
Looking at Delta, which was gradually degenerating back into the form of an Ancestral Beast, Bai Qiucha thought it was ridiculously inconceivable, yet somehow totally expected.
A creature that couldn¡¯t evolve, when ced in Bai Qi¡¯s hands, could surprisingly exert unexpected effects.
Yes, that was normal.
Considering Bai Qi¡¯s three beast-like creatures that were anything but ordinary, Bai Qiucha was quite interested in what Bai Qi could nurture Delta into.
Moreover, it seemed that Delta¡¯s victorious strike on the Wind Snake held some significance.
As Delta¡¯s Beast Master, Bai Qi naturally noticed the uniqueness of that strike.
¡°Although it hasn¡¯tpletely awakened yet, it seems to have obtained a bit of Space Attributes?¡±
Bai Qi stroked the fluff on his chin. It seemed that when Alpha was awakening the Withering Breath, it was simr and also obtained a part of the Power of Death effect in advance.
¡°So, the way to awaken skills is to absorb a sufficient amount of Attribute materials? Hmm¡ quite a straightforward and crude method.¡±
Considering how Alpha had absorbed the Power of Death from the Dead Beasts to awaken its skills, andbining it with Delta¡¯s Awakening skill n for the Savage Charge, Bai Qi had roughly estimated the method of awakening.
An enormous amount of Space Power huh¡ why not let teacher take us to explore a few more abandoned secret realms?
Just as this thought emerged in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, he dismissed it himself.
If Heguang hadn¡¯t been nearbyst time, they might have beenpletely annihted like the Stone Tower Secret Realm. They couldn¡¯t risk the chance he might not be close by next time.
We might as well buy it ¡
Thinking of the high price of Space Materials, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Bai Qi. He took out his dissection knife and swiftly dissected the Wind Snake into countlessponents, ssifying and storing each one.
A mosquito¡¯s leg was also meat, he couldn¡¯t afford to waste it.
Having dealt with the Wind Snake, they resumed their journey. On the way, although they met quite a few Ferocious Beasts, they had rtively low Double Levels. Thus, they left most of them to Delta, who was more than happy to handle them.
Chug chug!
(Master, I¡¯ve defeated another Ferocious Beast!)
Delta, now evolved into a Burying Beetle, dragged a w Rat in front of Bai Qi, looking like a child waiting for praise from their parents.
¡°You did well.¡±
Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head in encouragement. A dark red Degeneration Light emerged from Delta¡¯s body, restoring it to its original form of an Ancestral Beast.
Despite still being unable to maintain or control its evolved state, Delta was gradually able to determine when it degenerated on its own, which didn¡¯t drain too much of its energy.
In a way, this could also be considered progress.
¡°Bai Qi, there¡¯s a big oneing.¡±
As Bai Qi was dissecting the w Rat, Bai Qiucha suddenly became alert. Bai Qi reacted immediately, found a rock to hide behind, and summoned Alpha.
This was the real wilderness, and the first duty of a Beast Master was to protect themselves.
Soon, a giant python with a tiger¡¯s head appeared before the two of them.
¡°ASoul Race Ferocious Beast? No, this is a Beast Soul Warrior¡¯s spirit animal!¡±
Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged nces, recognizing the difference between this tiger-headed python soul and the other Soul Race.
Sure enough, after the appearance of the tiger-headed python, a man dressed in ck leather appeared, with another simrly dressed figure following him.
¡°The Thousand Cliff Stone Forest is close to the ck Python Tribe. They might be Beast Soul Warriors from the ck Python Tribe.¡±
Bai Qiucha clearly knew more about the Tribe than Bai Qi and quickly deduced the identities of the two men.
¡°Beast Soul Warriors? What are they doing here?¡±
Bai Qi frowned slightly, looking at the approaching tiger-headed python. ¡°Did they escape from the tribe?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
Bai Qiucha gave a bitter smile. ¡°Being able to condense a spirit animal means they have started to worship Ferocious Beasts. Even if the Ferocious Beasts let them return, they wouldn¡¯t want to.¡±
Bai Qi understood, they were simply brainwashed, he hadn¡¯t expected the Ferocious Beasts to use religious tactics.
¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, they¡¯re probably here to catch low-level Ferocious Beasts, or to see if human adventurers havee here.¡±
Bai Qiucha nced at therge baskets on the two men¡¯s backs and deduced their purpose.
Bai Qi nodded slightly, thinking about the initial training project from the association.
The birth rate of Beast Soul Warriors was not high. In addition to people already living within the territory of the Tribe, they also captured humans from near the Federation to boost their numbers.
Even the genius Beast Masters, who were highly regarded by local associations, couldn¡¯t resist the temptations of Beast Soul Warriors. Not to mention those who came here to seek adventure and wealth.
The two Beast Soul Warriors didn¡¯t notice any signs of Bai Qi and the others and continued to search, following behind the Tiger Head Python.
¡°Why are there so few Ferocious Beasts today? we¡¯re getting close to the Federation¡¯s territory.¡±
The Beast Soul Warrior leading the way seemed fed up. He stopped and leaned against a stone pir to rest.
The Beast Soul Warrior following behind didn¡¯t respond. Instead, he walked over to where Bai Qi had previously dissected the wed rat and examined the area. ¡°It looks like some adventurers have been active in this area recently, and they probably haven¡¯t gone far yet,¡± he spected.
Upon hearing hispanion¡¯s analysis, the resting Beast Soul Warrior perked up. ¡°Adventurers? If we can capture one and bring him back, Mr. Alpha will definitely reward us. Tian Zhong, you¡¯re not messing with me, are you?¡± ¡°When have you ever seen me make a mistake in my judgment?¡±
Tian Zhong smiled and said, ¡°We should hurry up and move on. We are too close to the Federation, and we may easily encounter the Federation¡¯s Beast Masters.¡±
He Shang nodded and directly mounted his tiger-headed python soul. Tian Zhong also summoned a giant Orochi and raced in the direction from which Bai Qi and the others hade.
Upon hearing their conversation, Bai Qi¡¯s expression became grim.
These guys, they really didn¡¯t see themselves as human anymore.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. They had been living in a tribe with a culture of envement from a young age. If they viewed themselves and the Federation humans as the same, that would truly be strange.
Although he understood their perspective, Bai Qi had no intention of letting them leave. After a brief exchange of nces with Bai Qiucha, theyunched their attack together.
Roar!
The Skeleton Dragon, Bai Qiucha¡¯s Beast Control, lunged at the tiger-headed python soul. Meanwhile, Alpha was already closing in on the lesser version of the Orochi at an astonishing speed.
¡°Beast Masters?!¡±
The appearance of Bai Qi and the others clearly startled them. However, having grown up in a tribe, they were by no means rookies with no battle experience, and they were able to quickly regroup.
¡°Tiger python, first soul technique, Tiger Cannon!¡±
With an angry roar from He Shang, a green aura appeared around the tiger-headed python. The python opened its mouth wide and spewed out a massive energy wave that surged towards the Bone Dragon.
Unfazed by the python¡¯s attack, the Bone Dragon effortlessly pped away the energy wave and pushed the python towards a nearby cliff.
At the same time, the Orochi alsounched an attack on Alpha without using any skills, opening its gaping mouth and attempting to swallow Alpha whole.
¡°Are you acting so recklessly because you¡¯re confident in your soul form?¡±
Ever since Bai Yuxiao joined in their training, Bai Qi realized the advantages of a soul form through their constant battles.
Immunity to physical attacks, an elusive presence, and the ability to attack the soul directly¡
In other words, Soul Race entities were the stuff of nightmares for enemies that relied on physical attack.
¡°Kid, you¡¯ve chosen the wrong opponent.¡± Bai Qi looked at Tian Zhong, who had mistakenly identified Alpha as a physicalbat type, in sympathy. ¡°Alpha, help this poor kid clean up. Living with eight heads¡ªit must be nice for you, huh?¡±
Crackle crackle!
(Understood.)
Having sensed the faint hostilitying from Bai Qi¡¯s soul, Alpha once again spread his Bone Wings to evade the Orochi¡¯s attack. Wielding the Sword of Death, he sliced directly into the Orochi¡¯s head.
Roar!
Apanied by the painful wail of its other seven heads, one of Orochi¡¯s heads was chopped off by Alpha. A vast wound was left behind, covered in a ck aura that slowly began to creep up the Orochi¡¯s body.
Well, at least it looks like it can continue to corrode through the wound. That¡¯s a bit of constion.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Meanwhile, Tian Zhong¡¯s face was twisted with pain as he let out a painful cry.
¡°How could you possibly hurt my Orochi!¡±
As an active Beast Soul Warrior in the ck Python Tribe, Tian Zhong¡¯s strength was naturally not weak. If gauged using the Federation¡¯s criteria, he was at the Four-Stage level. With the special characteristics of his beast soul, defeating ordinary Four-Stage Beast Masters was not a challenge.
But now, his Orochi had actually had one of its heads cut off by a small skeleton.
Understand this: the beast souls of Beast Soul Warriors were intimately connected with their spirits. Any injury to their beast soul was the equivalent of taking a knife to their own spirit.
¡°Orochi? Such a low-level name, you were destined to be a minor character.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Tian Zhong with some disdain, and said, ¡°Alpha, finish him off.¡±
Alpha nodded and immediately lunged at the remaining seven heads of the Orochi.
But Tian Zhong had survived several life-or-death situations and quickly realized that the sword in Alpha¡¯s hand was no ordinary weapon. One of the Orochi¡¯s heads spewed gusts of wind to block Alpha¡¯s path, while the Orochi¡¯s main body quickly retreated and barraged Alpha with explosives.
¡°Wind, earth, thunder, fire, teeth; do you really think you¡¯re a real Orochi?¡±
Bai Qi grimaced and looked at the different elemental attacks spewing from the Orochi¡¯s mouth with increasing disgust.
¡°A member of Ba Jieji, an Orochi, with many heads; you¡¯re so pretentious, I¡¯d feel guilty not smacking you down for the audience.¡±
Crackle crackle!
(Roger that!)
Alpha deftly dodged the Orochi¡¯s onught. As a rune mark shed in the palm of his hand, six vastly different figures appeared behind him.
It was the Six Undead Corpses!
¡°You think having many heads gives you an advantage? Alpha, take him down!¡±

Trantor: 549690339
Just as the Six Corpse appeared, they saw the remaining seven heads of Orochiunching an attack against Alpha. Instantly, they formed a formation to start resisting.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, darkness.
The Six Corpse turned to their respective restrained properties, exerting all their abilities. Orochi¡¯s attack was sessfully blocked.
However, the level of Six Corpse was ultimately too low. Even with the counteractive properties, they were struggling to keep up with the energy value, and they began to show signs of weariness.
At this moment, the Rune Mark in Alpha¡¯s palm flickered, and the rune array on the Six Corpse also shed, surprisingly restoring their energy value.
Energy transmission.
This was an ability that Alpha had recently perfected, that allowed him to distribute his own energy value to the Six Corpse through a contract, aiding in their attacks.
Correspondingly, Alpha could withdraw energy from the Six Corpse using this ability.
In other words, with Six Corpse present, Alpha essentially added six mobile power charging points and output terminals.
Unfortunately, the teachers opposed it, and Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to take the risk of a ve contract bacsh. Otherwise, he really wanted Alpha to enter into a contract with hundreds of skeleton soldiers, promote directly to the Undead King, and dominate the field.
As Six Corpse was being constrained, Orochi¡¯s advantage was suddenly obliterated. Meanwhile, Alpha seized the opportunity to get close and swiftly beheaded two more heads. The speed of decay from the Power of Death had also gradually increased.
After losing three heads in a row, Tian Zhong realized how difficult Alpha was. He immediately tried to retrieve Orochi, but aplicated Rune Mark surfaced between his brows. Tian Zhong¡¯s movements also came to a halt.
Was that a ve contract?
Bai Qi immediately recognized the contract on Tian Zhong¡¯s forehead and became cautious.
If Alpha could transmit energy to Six Corpse through a contract, a Beast Soul Warrior¡¯s owner could do the same. Having a Beast Soul Warrior, equivalent to a Four Stage one, as a servant, meant that the Beast Soul Warrior behind it was at least at the Fifth Stage.
Or even higher!
On the other side, Bai Qiucha, who was also beating up the tiger-headed python, encountered a simr situation. Both of them simultaneously gave up their current advantage and quickly regrouped.
¡°Be careful. The beast that enters into a contract with them can control two people, and it must be nearby. We¡¯d better act quickly.¡±
Bai Qiucha¡¯s face was serious. Although it¡¯s unlikely for a Legend toe, encountering a King-Level creature could be disastrous. Beforeprehending the view of the King, the pets of different departments would indeed suffer a lot.
Hissss¡
Soon, along with a chilling sound, a ne around Tian Zhong¡¯s neck wriggled like a snake, slowly coiling up to Tian Zhong¡¯s forehead. Tian Zhong¡¯s initially pained expression had abruptly disappeared, reced by a cold and evil look.
¡°Two pieces of trash dare to take back a polluted soul, do you want to kill me?!¡±
¡°Tian Zhong¡± cursed a few times and then looked towards Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, without hiding his greed.
¡°But you two defeated them, your qualifications are certainly stronger, and with your souls to nourish me, I will definitely be the first to reach the king level in the tribe! Hahaha¡¡±
It¡¯s not¡ King Level-
Looking at ¡°Tian Zhong¡± who wasughing wildly, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha¡¯s expressions changed abruptly, and their watchful eyes turned weird.
¡°Should we attack? This fool doesn¡¯t look too smart.¡±
¡°No rush, he seems to be at the Fifth Stage, let¡¯s wait until the main body arrives.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that too risky?¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Isn¡¯t the Blood Scythe Wraith still around?¡±
¡°Okay¡¡±
Seeing the two discussing privately, ¡°Tian Zhong¡± raised his head arrogantly, ¡°Come on, join our ck Python Tribe, I can sign an equal contract with you, and your pets can receive the protection of the ck Python Tribe.¡±
As he spoke, the poisonous snake ne also raised its head, revealing two fangs engraved with intricate runes.
¡°As long as it bites you once, you can obtain the power bestowed by me, a power you would never otherwisee into contact with¡ huh, what are you doing!¡±
¡°Tian Zhong¡± didn¡¯t even finish his sentence when he saw Alpha swiftly beheading all the heads of Orochi, after which the Orochi was thoroughly corroded by the Power of Death and then vanished.
As the Orochi disappeared, ¡°Tian Zhong¡± was also affected. The originally high head of the poisonous snake ne drooped down, as though it was losing signal.
However, shortly after, Bai Qi and the others heard the sound of stone pirs copsing, and then a python asrge as a skyscraper appeared before them.
[Name]: ckwater Python
[Nature]: Water Department
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
¡°How dare you interrupt your Lord ck Pipe¡¯s speech! You¡¯re not qualified to be my Beast Soul Warriors. Just be my sacrifices!¡±
After that, Lord ck Pipe opened his big mouth and spat out a stream of pitch-ck venom, covering the two of them.
But before the venom could evennd, I green appeared and wrapped up all the venom spat out by Lord ck Pipe, then transforming into a giant slime.
Crunch, crunch¡
(Master, Gamma is feeling a bit overfed.)
Even though Gamma was absorbing the venom from the ck-like Python with all his might, venom asionally leaked out. However, he had no intentions of letting go. Instead, he absorbed even faster.
As a food lover, not wasting food was a fundamental principle.
¡°What on earth is THIS?!¡±
Witnessing the absorption of its venom by a lowly slime, the fury of the ck-like Pythonpletely exploded. It intended to swallow Gamma directly.
At this moment, the Skeleton Dragon descended from the sky and stomped on the ck-like Python¡¯s head, pressing it down, quickly followed by a standard dragon¡¯s breath, fully roasting the Python¡¯s skull.
Even though the ck-like Python was a Fifth Stage creature, its bloodline level still remained that of a lord.
In other words, the ck-like Python¡¯s maximum advantage consisted only of the basic stats of a Fifth Stage creature.
But for them, these discrepancies were not considered discrepancies.
¡°Humans, you havepletely enraged me!¡±
The Skeleton Dragon rode over its face, and the ck-like Python copsedpletely. The Rune mark on its forehead shed once, and Tian Zhong and He Shang¡¯s spirits floated up with a streak of light, merging into the Python¡¯s body.
In an instant, the Python¡¯s power surged, and its body twisted madly trying to shake off the Skeleton Dragon. Its spiny tail directly swung towards the Skeleton Dragon.
However, the Skeleton Dragon¡¯s stats were not to be easily surpassed. Even though it was one stage lower than the Python, the difference wasn¡¯t significant, so it also countered with a tail attack.
BANG!
Upon impact, the spines on the Python¡¯s tail shattered. In contrast, the Skeleton Dragon remained unscathed, its ethereal flesh appeared stronger, and its power increased, pressing down the emerging Python.
¡°Cha, were you hiding your strength before, I never saw you this violent?
Bai Qi, astonished, turned towards the Skeleton Dragon that effortlessly subdued the ck-like Python.
¡°Although the Skeleton Dragon takes up all my contract slots, correspondingly, I can unleash the power of the Skeleton Dragon based on my needs. There¡¯s a priceter, though.¡±
Summoning the spirit body or releasing the power of the Skeleton Dragon was no small feat. It tested both his physical and spiritual aptitude. If the battlested longer, it would be taxing.
Bai Qi understood the exnation. Other Beast Masters were leveling up, Cha the Soul Communicator, was remembering passwords asionally used to force decryptions.
However, such abilities obviouslye with a cost. Therefore, Bai Qi immediately instructed the Alpha, who quickly located the weak point of the ck-like Python.
Bai Qi wasn¡¯t sure if that was the vital point. He made Alpha locate a rtively weak spot and turned Alpha into a razor-like drill. Using the Power of Death as a primary weapon, it forcefully drilled into the ck-like Python.
¡°No, you damn people, if I die, the ck Python Tribe will immediately track you down!¡±
Feeling the proximity of Alpha, who was inside it, the ck-like Python squirmed in pain, cursing aloud.
¡°Got it, we¡¯ll hit and run.¡±
Bai Qi nodded knowingly, snapped his fingers, and Alpha, wreaking havoc within the Python, got the hint immediately. Directly using the de of Death to stab at the Python¡¯s brain.
Even though the Death Power could not be extracted, it didn¡¯t mean the de of Death couldn¡¯t amuse them.
Having been stabbed by the de of Death, the Python lost consciousness instantly. Bai Qi immediately summoned Alpha back and signaled Bai Qiucha to remove the parts of the Python infected by the Power of Death.
It may not have been a King-level creature, but the Python was at the Fifth Stage. Properly treated parts from its body could sell for a decent amount.
The two barely managed to deal with the Python¡¯s corpse, then turned their attention to Tian Zhong and He Shang, the Beast Soul warriors.
They had beenpletely drained of their energy, their painful expressions frozen onto their faces.
Bai Qi could understand a bit of the pain from being drained of all energy and spirit. But it seemed that there was still a significant difference.
The tyranny of the ve Contract was somewhat surprising to Bai Qi. He understood why Bai Heguang prevented him from researching it too deeply.
¡°We are indeed fortunate that our predecessors, like the Emperor, struggled hard, otherwise, we might have ended up as one of them.¡±
Looking at the two dead men, Bai Qi felt a bit lucky. If he had traversed time a bit earlier or if he had been born in a slightly different location, it would have made a world of difference.
Indeed, one¡¯s birth is a matter of technique.
Bai Qi looked at the two of them, nning to ask Bai Qiucha to cremate them, and then noticed the Poison Snake ne on their heads, promptly stopping Bai Qiucha.
¡°Didn¡¯t that fellow just say that the ne was used to establish the ve Contract?¡±
Bai Qiucha was taken aback and said, ¡°Exactly, but this thing is custom tailored, using beast souls as a nucleus¡ªwe can¡¯t use it.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°No worries, I just want to use it as a reference.¡±
Able to contract remotely and control¡ªthe Ferocious Beast Tribe certainly had not wasted their years.
Well¡ It can be borrowed and learned from.
Right, borrowed!
Chapter 205 - 201: Go! Spirit-Control Orb!
Chapter 205: Chapter 201: Go! Spirit-Control Orb!
Trantor: 549690339 |
Bai Qi gathered up Tian Zhong and He Shang¡¯s Poisonous Snake Nes, as well as the body of the ck Python. He then released a breath of dragon fire to clear away any remaining evidence, before retracing his path to their original location.
If the ferocious beasts of the ck Python Tribe were operating in this area, their base could not be far from here. It was likely that other beasts mighte to investigate, and if any of them were king level or higher, they wouldn¡¯t be as rxed as they were now.
Indeed, not long after they departed, two giant pythons appeared. Besides the breath of the skeleton dragon, they detected no other presence of any significance.
¡°Why would the Dragon Race operate here? Could it be that some secret realm has been discovered?¡±
¡°Are you a fool? The Dragon Race wouldn¡¯t be interested in the secret realms found here. We need to report to Lord ck Water immediately. The Federation maybe on the move.¡±
¡°So, you fear that the Federation will take action against us?¡±
¡°Of course! ording to our spies, the humans have found another legendary giant dragon. They may seize this chance to attack us.¡±
¡°We must rush back then!¡±
Meanwhile, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha quickly returned to the vicinity of the Stone Tower Secret Realm. They only stopped after confirming no pursuers were trailing them.
Bai Qiucha nced over his shoulder, and said, ¡°We should be safe here. The ck Python Tribe would not venture this far.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in agreement. This area was close to the Federation, and if high- level creatures of the ck Python Tribe approached, it would definitely draw the attention of the Federation¡¯s snare.
Unless the ck Python Tribe nned to go to war with the Federation, they would not dare to risk venturing too closely.
¡°Let¡¯s stop here for today and continue our training tomorrow morning.¡±
Looking at the darkening sky, Bai Qi bade Bai Qiucha farewell and returned to his own secret realm.
¡°Whew, this day has been more fulfilling than the intense training days.¡±
First, Alpha awakened his transcendent skill ¨C Sword of Death, then they discovered a way to further strengthen Delta, and finally they encountered a Beast Soul Warrior. It had been a fruitful day.
¡°I better process the spoils first.¡±
Bai Qi summoned all four of his pets, then began to distribute the materials found on the ck Python.
¡°Split half and give it to Cha, the poison nd to Gamma and Schuckey, the bones to Alpha and Six Corpse for soup, the scales can be used to enhance the defenses of Gamma and Delta, and the meat for everyone to freshen up their meals. Yes, that should do it.¡±
After Bai Qi finished allocating the materials, Alpha got to work. Therge snake corpse was quickly deconstructed into numerous parts.
Awoo-
(I¡¯ve been thinking about going vegetariantely, so I¡¯ll pass.)
Click Pluck Click Pluck?
(Beta, you don¡¯t want it? Then Gamma will eat it for you.)
Thump Thump!
(Thank you, Master!)
Gamma and Delta immediately began devouring their share. The flesh of a fifth-stage creature was a huge tonic for them, especially for the lowest-level Delta, which could increase its energy value.
Watching his four pets enjoying their meal, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He then began to study the Poisonous Snake Ne he had recovered from Tian Zhong.
Perhaps because the ck Python was already dead, the ne had lost its original luster, but the overall structure was very well-preserved.
¡°Schuck, help me extract all the runes on it.¡±
Bai Qi handed the ne to Schuck, who immediately understood what to do. He scanned the Poisonous Snake Ne, and a holographic image of the ne appeared.
Bai Qi fiddled with the holographic image, removing all irrelevant parts until only aplicated array was left.
¡°No doubt, the ve contract used by the Founding Emperor Period to bind Ferocious Beasts was evolved from the Ferocious Beast Tribe.¡±
Looking at the array, which structurally resembled the ve Contract, Bai Qi immediately brightened.
The other features didn¡¯t matter, but the function of remote contracting and control was worth his attention.
¡°Schuck, list all the runes separately andpare them with the ve Contract, then identify the different runes.¡±
¡°Acknowledged.¡±
The night passed quickly. Having been well-fed, Gamma was still in deep sleep, while Delta was already undertaking its daily ramming training. Next to it was the Six Corpse, who was training with Alpha.
As for Schuck, he was apanying Bai Qi in hisb, studying the Poisonous Snake Ne in detail.
¡°As expected, humans aren¡¯t the only ones who¡¯ve evolved over time. The Ferocious Beasts have also made considerable advances over the years.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the nearly-dposed array in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.
Although the runes used by the ck Python Tribe were somewhat different from the ancient runes in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, and the array was distinctly moreplex, with Schuck¡¯s cooperation, Bai Qi was able to roughly understand the structure of the array on the Poisonous Snake Ne.
The structure of the array on the Poisonous Snake Ne was simr to that of the ve contract, but the ck Python Tribe had added a lot of runes to enhance control and extraction efficiency on top of that.
However, Bai Qi was not interested in these runes. He focused on the other parts.
¡°Spirit Power storage and amplification structure, is this a kind of a WiFi signal booster?¡±
The reason why the ck Python could remotelymunicate with them through Tian Zhong¡¯s body relied on the amplification feature of this ne. Otherwise, with the power shown by the ck Python, it wouldn¡¯t have been able to carry out such a trick.
¡°If I make a spirit power storage device following this pattern, it should trigger the second-tier rune without a contract, right?¡±
Bai Qi worked on the holographic projection for a while, removing all irrelevant runes, keeping only the most fundamental storage and amplification structure, then looked at Husky and said, ¡°Schuck, make a simr apparatus based on this rune.¡±
Although the Poisonous Snake Ne obviously made on a considerable scale, the metal used was clearly designed for spirit power conduction, but Bai Qi wasn¡¯t interested in it at all.
With Etherium Liquid Gold at his disposal, he had no need to search for other metals.
¡°Understood.¡±
Schuck nodded, splitting off a thread of Etherium Liquid Gold to construct the basic rune structure, and then gave it a shell.
Very quickly, a dog head pendant was presented to Bai Qi.
¡°When did you start sharing Beta¡¯s peculiar taste, Schuck¡¡±
Bai Qi looked at the peculiar dog head pendant in his hand, his eye twitching slightly.
¡°I didn¡¯tplete the final step.¡±
Confronted by Bai Qi¡¯s questioning, Schuck promptly heaped the me on Beta, who guiltily avoided their gaze.
*Woofwoofl*
(This is art, you guys don¡¯t understand.)
¡°Fine. As long as it works the same.¡±
Sighing, Bai Qi infused the pendant with spirit power. One by one the runes on the pendant lit up, until Bai Qi was unable to channel any more spirit power into it; only then did it finally return to tranquillity.
¡°Just as expected.¡±
Witnessing the sessful experiment, Bai Qi nodded contentedly.
The spirit power storage device was ready. As long as he optimized the second ¨C stage evolution process of the runes, there should be no more problems.
No sooner had he thought of this than Bai Qi instantly called up the second-tier runes, keeping only the most basic spirit power-energy conduction structure, and left an input port for the storage device; thus, aplete second-tier evolution process for the runes was finalized.
¡°Once we return, I need to test it on a skeleton soldier and adjust it ordingly. Then it should be wless.¡±
Bai Qi stretchedzily, about to turn off the projection and rest for a while, buty eyes on the rune on the Poisonous Snake Ne from which he¡¯d removed everything but a simple contract structure which birthed a new thought in him.
¡°If I activate the contract rune array from a distance using a spirit power storage device, it shouldn¡¯t be counted as a contract space, right?¡±
In the Stone Tower Secret Realm¡
Having waited for quite some time, Bai Qiucha suddenly looked up to see an excited Bai Qi in front of her, and asked, ¡°Are you okay? Why did you stay in the secret realm for so long?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine. Just tinkered with something and thought I¡¯d test it on a ferocious beast.¡±
Bai Qiucha raised her eyebrows at his words, remembering the Poisonous Snake Ne that Bai Qi had taken earlier, and asked, ¡°Are you nning to test that ne on beasts?¡±
¡°Sort of, though I modified it a bit.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and Bai Qiucha upon hearing it, quickly cautioned, ¡°Don¡¯t, remember the incidents in the past about people trying to steal beast souls using ferocious beasts? It always ends badly.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t want our teacher to denounce me.¡±
Bai Qi chuckled and countered,
¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you mention once that all your seven contract spaces are upied by the Skeleton Dragon?¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, responding, ¡°Yes, when my dad had me contract with the Skeleton Dragon, all of my contract spaces were taken up by it. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the Skeleton Dragon¡¯s power.¡±
¡°So that means it is absolutely impossible for you to contract any additional pets now?¡±
¡°That¡¯s correct.¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at Bai Qi curiously. ¡°Why? Is there a problem?¡±
Bai Qi revealed a reassured smile on his face, took out a red and white metallic orb, and offered it to Bai Qiucha, ¡°Do you want to contract another pet?¡±
Taken by surprise at his words, Bai Qiucha was looking at the high-tech orb in her hand. ¡°Contract a pet? With this?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. ¡°However, it¡¯s still in the experimental phase, so I¡¯m not sure how it will work.¡±
After the thought of activating contract runes using the Spirit Power Storage Device urred, Bai Qi hadn¡¯t been able to stop himself. He immediately started working on it till he made a finished product just now.
He initially intended to find an unawakened person to try it out, but now that he had an excellent guinea pig in front of him, there was no need to go far.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha was momentarily speechless.
For humanity to contract pets, the one and only method was through rune marks¡ªcontracting pets via mechanical devices seemed far-fetched, let alone for someone whose contract spaces were fully upied.
But seeing Bai Qi¡¯s anticipation to try it out, Bai Qiucha didn¡¯t outright reject him. Instead, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s the name of this device? How do I operate it?¡±
Bai Qi exined, ¡°It¡¯s quite simple to use. Infuse the button with spirit power, look for a pet, and toss it. As for the name, I was thinking of calling it the Spirit¡forget that, how about Spirit-Control Orb?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget to yell out, ¡®Go! Spirit-Control Orb!¡¯ before you throw it.¡±
Chapter 206 - 202: Successful Contract
Chapter 206: Chapter 202: Sessful Contract
Trantor: 549690339
Upon seeing Bai Qi¡¯s excited look, Bai Qiucha was left speechless. He pushed the Spirit-Control Orb back and said, ¡°Forget it, this isn¡¯t really suitable for me.¡± Although he was interested in contracting with another pet beast, having to shout that embarrassing slogan was too much for him. He preferred to stick with his skeleton dragon till the end.
¡°Cough, then you can just toss it out.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°Shouting a slogan makes it seem more imposing, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha begrudgingly epted the Spirit- Control Orb. He examined the button filled with runes at the border where red and white met on the orb and said, ¡°So, I have to inject my spirit power here, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°The spirit power stored won¡¯tst long, so it¡¯s best if you inject it when you find a beast you like.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded in response and then tried to infuse the orb with his spirit power. The runes of the Spirit-Control Orb lit up withplex symbols, storing his spirit power within.
¡°You really have created a mechanical device that can store spirit power?¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at Bai Qi in surprise and said, ¡°I¡¯ve only heard that treasures can have this capability. Can the Mechanical Engineering Department do it, too?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged and exined, ¡°Actually, from a certain perspective, treasures are just ancient mechanical engineering. The underlying principles are simr. And with the ne as a reference, mine is more of a copy.¡±
A copy? There were numerous mechanical engineers around, but he had yet to see anyone else making copies.
Bai Qiucha shook his head with a bitter smile. Being with Bai Qi, he was always encountering unexpected surprises. Even if Bai Qi said the extra contract might not be sessful, just having a device that could store spirit power was shocking enough.
Moreover, Bai Qiucha had the feeling that this Spirit-Control Orb that Bai Qi had tinkered with might work.
Fearing a further encounter with a beast from the ck Python Tribe, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha decided to proceed in the opposite direction. Along the way, they encountered numerous ferocious beasts, but Bai Qiucha showed no sign of taking action.
¡°Cha, this is just an experiment. Why not just pick one randomly?¡±
Bai Qi helplessly watched as Bai Qiucha continued to observe the ferocious beasts. He used to think that Bai Qiucha was just a bit rigid, but now he realized that this wasn¡¯t rigidity¡ªit was chronic indecision!
¡°That won¡¯t do. What if it actually works, and I don¡¯t like the beast selected? I need to choose carefully.¡±
Bai Qiucha tly rejected Bai Qi¡¯s suggestion with a serious face and resumed his selection.
¡°Or we can just wait until we¡¯re back at headquarters and try it with Old Lady Fan. After all, mine is only the first version, and there¡¯s still a lot that needs to be changed.¡±
Right after he finished speaking, Bai Qi heard a loud boom from the front, and an orange Thunder Rat appeared before the two.
[Name]: Thunder Rat
[Nature]: Lightning Attribute
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Description]: True to its name, the Thunder Rat is small but extremely bad- tempered. It is known to asionally attack itspanions with electrical currents. Some Beast Masters have even wondered if this is the Thunder Rat¡¯s way of showing affection.
¡°I¡¯ve decided on this one!¡±
The moment the Thunder Rat appeared, Bai Qiucha¡¯s eyes lit up. He injected all his spirit power into the Spirit-Control Orb and threw it at the Thunder Rat.
As expected, he missed.
Bam!!!
The Thunder Rat, seeing Bai Qiucha blindly throwing things at it, was immediately filled with electricity. It was clearly irritated.
¡°Brother, hold it down before you throw it.¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly at the sight. Bai Qiucha realized his mistake, promptly activated his Bone Armor mode, defused the electricity around the Thunder Rat, and held it down.
¡°And then what do I do?¡±
Bai Qi paused and said, ¡°Inject spirit power and then strike the Spirit-Control Orb on the Thunder Rat.¡±
Bai Qiucha did as instructed. He took the Spirit-Control Orb and lightly hit the Thunder Rat with it. The Spirit-Control Orb immediately split open, projecting an array on the Thunder Rat.
Bam! Bam!
Feeling the array cover it, the Thunder Rat instinctively felt something was wrong and started struggling frantically, causing the projected array to wobble.
Soon, the spirit power inside the Spirit-Control Orb waspletely depleted and the orb closed up again while the array disappeared.
¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at the still struggling Thunder Rat in front of him, tried to sense for any changes, but found no signs of a contract between him and the Thunder Rat.
Bai Qi took the Spirit-Control Orb from Bai Qiucha and checked it.
There was no problem with the structure. The projected array was correct, but the Thunder Rat was too resistant, causing excessive consumption of spirit power, making it unable to maintain a contract.
¡°I suppose it makes sense in games to beat the pet into submission before contracting.¡±
Bai Qi sighed, his eyes on the Thunder Rat that, despite being immobilized, continued to struggle. He then ryed his thoughts to Bai Qiucha.
¡°So, incapacitate it before trying again?¡±
Bai Qiucha was startled as he looked at the Thunder Rat in his hand. A burst of dragon aura directly exploded onto him, causing the Thunder Rat to immediately roll his eyes and faint.
Subsequently, Bai Qiucha infused his spirit power again, repeating the previous operation.
This time, thearray was firmly imprinted on the top of the Thunder Rat¡¯s head, quickly forming aplete contract rune.
At the same time, Bai Qiucha felt a certain special link had formed between him and the Thunder Rat. He could slightly sense what the Thunder Rat was thinking, but he couldn¡¯t understand as clearly as he could with the Skeleton Dragon.
However, it really felt very simr to after forming a contract!
¡°Bai Qi, I think I can really sense the consciousness of the Thunder Rat now.¡±
Bai Qiucha¡¯s face was full of surprise. He immediately deactivated his bone armor and carefully examined the state of the Thunder Rat.
Although his talent as a Soul Communicator allowed him to cross the double level and contract the Skeleton Dragon, he was naturally envious of others who could make contracts with multiple beasts.
¡°Did it work?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. Cha didn¡¯t have any contract slots, neither now nor in the future. If they could contract sessfully this way, didn¡¯t that mean the Spirit- Control Orb was truly sessful in their research?
He was indeed a genius!
¡°However, it seems that I only have a simple connection with the Thunder Rat.
I can¡¯t control it to do anything else, and I can¡¯t sense its state.¡±
Bai Qiucha sensed for a while, but he couldn¡¯t check the Thunder Rat¡¯s state freely like he could with the Bone Dragon.
¡°Ahem¡ Strictly speaking, the Thunder Rat didn¡¯t make a contract with you, but with this Spirit-Control Orb.¡±
Bai Qi referred to the Spirit-Control Orb in Bai Qiucha¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I set the core of the array on the Spirit-Control Orb. All you did was provide spirit power.¡±
¡°The reason why you can sense the consciousness of the Thunder Rat is also because the spirit power driving the array is yours.¡±
Bai Qiucha was taken aback and said, ¡°So, if someone else activates this Spirit- Control Orb, the Thunder Rat may listen to him.¡±
¡°Not likely.¡±
Bai Qi denied this directly, Bai Qiucha then sighed with relief. But before he spoke again, Bai Qi¡¯s next sentence almost caused him to spit blood.
¡°Because I worried about problems, the structure of the contract was very simple. Even if a contract was made with the Thunder Rat, it could potentially runaway.¡±
After listening to Bai Qi, Bai Qiucha sighed quietly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care anymore. I¡¯m already satisfied that I could contract another beast. If I train it slowly, it will always listen to me.¡±
¡°By the way, were there any other problems?¡±
Bai Qi thought for a while and said, ¡°There should be no more¡right?¡±
Bai Qiucha realized what he meant. Just as he was about to check the state of the Thunder Rat, it suddenly awakened. He nkly stared at Bai Qiucha, who had formed an unknown connection with it, for a long time without any action. Seeing this, Bai Qiucha¡¯s eyes immediately filled with a doting expression. He carefully put his hand on the Thunder Rat¡¯s head, gently patted it, and softly said, ¡°Little guy, you¡¯ll be my pet from now on.¡±
Rat?
The Thunder Rat obviously didn¡¯t quite understand Bai Qiucha¡¯s meaning. Before it had figured it out, it suddenly felt a terrifying consciousness enter its mind along with Bai Qiucha¡¯s spirit power, but it quickly withdrew.
Despite this, the Thunder Rat was still startled and instinctively released protective electricity. Bai Qiucha, who was holding it, was also covered by the electricity, and his originally floating ck hair instantly turned into an afro. Bai Qi carefully poked Bai Qiucha, who was smoking from the electricity, and said, ¡°Erm, Cha, are you okay?¡±
¡°Ahem, I¡¯m fine. The Thunder Rat was probably scared by the Skeleton Dragon, so it was a bit out of control.¡±
Despite the strong sensation of numbness on his body, Bai Qiucha gently patted the Thunder Rat. Soothed by Bai Qiucha, the Thunder Rat slowly calmed down.
This man and rat, in this way, formed their initial friendship.
¡°This scenario, why does it look so familiar to me? Divine possession?¡±
Bai Qi, speechless at the sight of the man and the rat getting more familiar, coughed twice to interrupt this warm scene and said, ¡°Cha, can you describe exactly how you feel about the Spirit-Control Orb now? I need to make some targeted modifications.¡±
¡°No problem.¡±
Bai Qiucha, who had finally contracted his second pet, nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to put away the Thunder Rat, he found that he couldn¡¯t put the Thunder Rat into the Beast Control Space like the Bone Dragon.
¡°Bai Qi, how do I put away the Thunder Rat? It can¡¯t enter the Beast Control Space without the Rune Mark, can it?¡±
¡°Put it away?¡±
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this and said reluctantly, ¡°Sorry, I haven¡¯te up with a way to collect these pets. Why don¡¯t you just throw it into your secret realm?¡±
¡°¡ What did you make it hollow for?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just for aesthetics? Are you nning to stuff the Thunder Rat into this small ball? And then set up a two-bedroom and one living room?¡±
¡°Forget I asked¡¡±
Bai Qiucha was left speechless. He could only silently put the Thunder Rat into the secret realm. Afterwards, he discussed the use of the Spirit-Control Orb with Bai Qi.

¡°So, you¡¯re saying that you can now somewhat understand the Thunderburst Mouse, but you can¡¯t directly issuemands to it via a contract, right?¡± Bai Qi summarized Bai Qiucha¡¯s user experience, taking the Spirit-Control Orb in his hands for an inspection.
To prevent the contract spot from being upied, Bai Qi simplified many Rune marks in the contract, keeping only a basic channel for Spirit Powermunication.
Looking at the situation now, the Spirit-Control Orb indeed freed itself from the impact of the contract slot, but it apparently also lost the ability tomunicate directly with the pet beast.
Saying anything about mutual growth was even more out of the question.
¡°It seems, indeed, that realizing both aspects is far-fetched.¡±
Bai Qi frowned slightly, having initially pondered whether he could develop a new contract system through the Spirit-Control Orb. It turned out he was too optimistic.
¡°Actually, I think this is quite good.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s disappointment, Bai Qiucha immediatelyforted him, ¡°While the proportion of Beast Masters among Federation citizens is increasingly higher, there are still many people in the Federation who can¡¯t awaken their talents. Even if they can¡¯t gradually be stronger like a Beast Master, having a pet beast partner is also wonderful.¡±
¡°That seems reasonable.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, having once been one of those talentless individuals himself, he could understand this sentiment.
Even though he couldn¡¯t grow like other Beast Masters, having a pet animal tomunicate with was quite enjoyable.
This was just the initial version. Maybe he could refine it to achieve the effect of a Rune contract, right? After all, weren¡¯t Rune contracts the result of the World Will Gaia¡¯s arrival, transforming it from the ve Contract?
Remembering this, Bai Qi immediately perked up again.
The first-generation Spirit-Control Orb had many problems. Besides the low Spirit Power storage, there was also the issue of resistance from the targeted pet beast. After all, not everyone had a Bone Dragon to subdue the targeted pet beast through intimidation.
Besides, there was the problem of amodating the pet beast under contract. Speaking of which, how did Zeus manage with his Elf Ball?
Did the pet beast shrink? Was it a space device?
There were many problems to be solved.
¡°Thunderburst Mouse, use Thunder sh''¡±
Thun-der!!!
Somewhere in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, a boyish young man was grinning as hemanded a Thunderburst Mouse and a Wind Snake to battle with a joyous expression.
It had been a week since Bai Qiucha used the Spirit-Control Orb to contract the Thunderburst Mouse. After paying the price of numerous electric shocks, the Thunderburst Mouse¡¯s affinity towards Bai Qiucha soared. Now Bai Qiucha couldmand the Thunderburst Mouse in simple battles.
In no time at all, the Wind Snake ¨C which had been unable to disy its full strength under the intimidating influence of the Bone Dragon ¨C was stunned by a surge of electricity from the Thunderburst Mouse. The Thunderburst Mouse and Cha burst out cheering together.
¡°Job well done!¡±
Bai Qiucha hugged the Thunderburst Mouse rushing towards him, giving it a thumbs-up in admiration. The Thunderburst Mouse seemed to enjoy such treatment, affectionately rubbing against Bai Qiucha.
I didn¡¯t expect Cha to like adorable pet beasts so much. This is quite different from the Bone Dragon.¡±
Leaning against a rock wall, Bai Qi watched Bai Qiucha, who wasughing as joyfully as any young trainer who had just contracted with a pet beast, and couldn¡¯t help feeling sentimental.
They said you are what you observe, and Cha¡¯s baby face was indeed apt. An adorable child and an adorable pet beast make a perfect match. Blub-blub-blub-blub!
(Master, I won again!)
Delta, who had also finished his battle, clutched a Fierce Feathered Sparrow as it descended from the sky, reverting back to the form of an Ancestral Beast. ¡°Well done.¡±
Bai Qi nced at the Fierce Feathered Sparrow foaming at the mouth from being knocked out, and gave Delta a thumbs-up.
Ever since it acquired some Space Attributes, Delta¡¯s Savage Charge also had its firing power significantly increased. Coupled with Delta¡¯s ability to change shape ording to external energy, it had performed far beyond Bai Qi¡¯s expectations in actualbat.
This was precisely why Delta¡¯s desire to battle had been fully ignited. It would challenge any Ferocious Beasts it encountered, regardless of whether it had a chance of victory.
Blub-blub-blub-blub!
(Delta is off to continue training.)
Delta, praised by Bai Qi, wobbled its head happily and then journeyed to a stone pir not too far away, training its skills autonomously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!¡
Watching the stone pir under the intense shaking from Delta¡¯s Savage Charge, the smile on Bai Qi¡¯s face grew brighter.
While it wasn¡¯t as quick as enhancing with Mythical resources, Delta had improved quite a lot in terms of its basic attributes by following this cycle of evolution and regression every day. While its individual statistics may not have been as high as those of Alpha and others, the bnce among all its statistics made up for it, forming no weak points.
Once Delta awakened its space skills, its output would also be sowing the seeds for a hexagonal pet beast!
¡°When will the teacher take us back? After all, I¡¯m hoping to get first ce for those Mythical resources.¡±
Thinking about the lost time for umting points, Bai Qi felt somewhat distressed.
Although he gained a lot here, it could not match up to the two Mythical items that the first ce winner would receive. Not to mention, he might be able to get another one using his umted points.
Barely had his words left his mouth when the Blood Scythe Wraith, who had always hidden in the shadows, suddenly appeared, saying, ¡°Master Cha, someone ising.¡±
Alerted by the words of the Blood Scythe Wraith, both Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha instinctively called out their pet beasts, readying for battle.
The Thousand Cliff Stone Forest was awless area, even when encountering other humans, one could not let down their guard.
Suddenly, apanied by a whooshing sound, a highly technological flying vehicle appeared in the sky.
¡°Kun Owl?¡±
Bai Qi was the first to recognize the aircraft¡¯s model. The pilot of the Kun Owl seemed to have spotted them, too, slowing down and stopping in front of them. Upon seeing this, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha nced at each other. But once they saw Yi Yu and Wang Huai walking down from the Kun Owl, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but freeze. F
¡°Minister Yi, Captain Wang?¡±
Yi Yu gave a faint smile. ¡°Bai Qi, I didn¡¯t expect to run into you here.¡± Then, Yi Yu noticed Bai Qiucha standing next to Bai Qi, as well as the Blood Scythe Wraith behind them. ¡°Is the son of the Bai Legend here too? Is the Bai Legend nearby?¡±
Bai Qiucha shook his head. ¡°My father had some business to attend to, so he left earlier.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, quickly noticing the explosive thunder mouse in Bai Qiucha¡¯s arms. ¡°Has the young master of the Bai family formed a contract with a new pet beast?¡±
¡°I could only form a contract with one pet beast, Minister Yi should know this.¡± Bai Qiucha shook his head, refraining from revealing anything about the Spirit- Control Orb.
Bai Qi¡¯s invention was absolutely revolutionary. Until it waspletely finished, he wouldn¡¯t lightly share it with anyone-let alone the Thirteenth Bureau.
Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly stepped forward to change the subject. ¡°Minister Yi have youe personally because there¡¯s an issue with the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest?¡±
In the previous Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm Event, Yi Yu had only made an appearance when Luo Xiang arrived. He had not appeared since then. Now, he had even personally led a team to the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest. There must be something here that attracted the Thirteenth Bureau.
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, Yi Yu gave a faint smile. ¡°It¡¯s actually nothing special, we¡¯re just here to verify some discoveries.¡±
¡°I see, then we¡¯ll stop disturbing you.¡±
Bai Qi understood, giving a slight nod to Wang Huai and the others as a gesture of farewell, before nning to leave.
Through the previous Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm experience, Bai Qi had roughly figured out the rtionship between the Beast Master Association and the Thirteenth Bureau.
They could cooperate and maintain private rtions, but there was no need to be too familiar.
¡°Please wait.¡±
Seeing the two getting ready to leave, Yi Yu suddenly spoke. ¡°Since we¡¯ve run into each other, why don¡¯t the two of you join us? After all, the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest is close to the ck Python Tribe and can be quite dangerous.¡± Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was taken aback. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be inappropriate?¡± If Yi Yu and the Special Operations team were on a unique mission, it wouldn¡¯t be right for them to follow along.
Yi Yu chuckled. ¡°No worries, we may even ask for Bai Qi¡¯s helpter.¡±
Help? Could it be rted to the secret realm?
After exchanging nces, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha both nodded. ¡°Then we¡¯ll take you up on that.¡±
They had been battling ferocious beasts in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest for the past few days and were almost tired of it. A change of pace would be good. Seeing their agreement, Yi Yu nodded with satisfaction. ¡°We are not far from our target, let¡¯s go there directly.¡±
With that, Yi Yu took the lead and headed in the direction of the ck Python
Bai Qi was slightly taken aback. He approached Wang Huai and asked, ¡°Captain
Wang, your mission isn¡¯t in the ck Python Tribe, is it?¡±
Wang Huai couldn¡¯t help but give a bitter smile. ¡°How could that be? With just us here, if we go into the ck Python Tribe which houses a legendary beast, aren¡¯t we courting death?¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
They had just killed a ferocious beast and two beast soul warriors from the ck Python Tribe a few days ago. If they were to go there now, it would be like looking for trouble.
How are you here, Bai Qi? Aren¡¯ t you supposed to be training with the Beast
Master Association?¡±
Tangmiao joyfully skipped to Bai Qi¡¯s side. Then, noticing the four Rune Marks on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s hand, she couldn¡¯t help eximing, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯ve reached the fourth stage?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. ¡°I just upgraded a few days ago.¡±
Tangmiao: ¡°¡¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s confirmation, Wang Huai couldn¡¯t help but nce at Li Xusheng. ¡°Xusheng, are you sure that Bai Qi was still at the second stage when you went to Gusu City?¡±
LiXushengnodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°I suddenly feel worthless.¡±
Wang Huai heaved a deep sigh, clearly finding it hard to believe. The Baili brothers also nodded in agreement.
¡°Bai Qi, you really are¡¡±
¡°Amazing.¡±
Bai Qi smiled, ¡°Thankyou. I was just lucky.¡±
If not for the benefits of the Evolution Egg and Green Dragon Scales glitch, and the addition of the Phantom Spirit Potion, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to ¡¯ upgrade so quickly. If one were to talk about genuine talent, only individuals like Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng could be considered mainstream.
¡°Lucky? I want that kind of luck too.¡±
Tangmiao puckered her lips. ¡°Bai Qi, you still haven¡¯t told us what you¡¯re doing here.¡± b
Bai Qi shrugged. ¡°We¡¯re here for training, but we should be leaving soon.¡±
Upon hearing this, Tangmiao seemed to understand. She was about to ask more when Yi Yu, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
Bai Qi looked in the direction Yi Yu pointed and saw he had taken out a worn- out Rune Puppet and ced it before a mountain wall. Then he took out a red key and inserted it into a gap on the Rune Puppet.
Was this the entrance key to the Tower of Gratitude and thest Rune Puppet? Did the Thirteenth Bureaue here looking for the continuation of the Twin Towers¡¯ secret realm?
Chapter 208 - 204: The Ominous Crow
Chapter 208: Chapter 204: The Ominous Crow
Trantor: 549690339
As if to validate Bai Qi¡¯s guess, the rune puppet presented a brand new rune structure and flipped its body into a different look once Yi Yu fully inserted the key into it.
Hell, it actually hid another set of rune structures, I sold it at a loss.
I¡¯m really still too young¡
Bai Qi pped his head in regret, admonishing himself internally.
If Luo Xiang¡¯s guess was correct and his Rubik¡¯s cube was also one of the keys to opening the secret realm, then Yi Yu would surely look for him. He would have to quote a higher price then.
At the very least, he had to make up for the difference in the price of the rune puppet.
Well, two mythical ss materials should do it, that¡¯s not too greedy.
As Bai Qi was silently setting his price, the rune puppet started moving, striking the mountainside continuously and scattering numerous shards of stone.
When the dust settled, aplex array diagram suddenly appeared on the mountainside.
¡°A new array again?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up at the sight, he pulled out Husky immediately to start recording.
The Gemini Tower was confirmed to have been from the era of the Law Emperor, the peak of humanities¡¯ era of runes. These arrays could be helpful in building the Secret Realm Tower in the future.
Afterpleting the array diagram, the rune puppet input some energy into one end of the array. The entire array lit up instantly, and the tall stone wall crumbled away, gradually revealing two towering structures.
¡°The Twin Towers again?¡±
Bai Qi was startled. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that constetions did not exist in this world, he would have seriously suspected that the owner of this Secret Realm Tower was a Gemini.
¡°The character of a Gemini is the most changeable; I have a feeling this tower is going to be a problematic one.¡±
Soon, a pair of ck and white towers appeared before Bai Qi and the others. In between the ck and white towers was a two-toned gateway that connected both towers.
The rune puppet walked directly towards the gate after it appeared, its body twisting and morphing until it perfectly fit into the vacancy in the center of the double-colored gate. However, there was still a perfectly square hole in its chest.
¡°So, it is¡¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi was confident that the Rubik¡¯s cube he held was indeed one of theponents. It was clear that Yi Yu knew something too. He picked up the fallen red key, approached Bai Qi, and said, ¡°It seems that the Tarot Crow¡¯s divination was right. I was indeed able to find the key to unlocking the secret realm here.¡±
¡°Divination?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback. Seeing his reaction, Bai Qiucha swiftly leaned in and whispered in his ear, ¡®¡±Ill-omened Crow¡¯ ¨C Yi Yu ¨C his pet is the rare temporal beast, Tarot Crow. It¡¯s said to be able to predict the fate of others and even pets. It probably foresaw our meeting.¡±
¡°Is there really such an ability?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes gleamed. He wished he could tear off a piece from Yi Yu¡¯s Tarot Crow and add it to his own pet.
Temporal abilities! If he could get those, wouldn¡¯t that be a huge win?
Bai Qi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. Without much ado, he directly took out the unfinished Rubik¡¯s cube, asking, ¡°Is this what Minister Yi was referring to?¡±
¡°Correct.¡±
Yi Yu smiled, looking at the Rubik¡¯s cube in Bai Qi¡¯s hand, and said, ¡°Name your price.¡±
Seeing Yi Yu¡¯s straightforward approach, Bai Qi also responded with a grin, ¡°Three Mythical grade resources.¡±
¡°One specified Mythical grade resource.¡±
¡°Two Mythical grade resources.¡±
¡°One Mythical grade resource + a Seven Stage mechanical technique.¡±
¡°One Mythical grade resource + a Seven Stage mechanical technique + co-exploration rights.¡±
¡°Deal!¡±
Watching the two reach a deal at the speed of light, Bai Qiucha and Wang Huai exchanged looks.
Who else could negotiate with the notoriously unpredictable Yi Yu of the Thirteenth Bureau so brazenly, apart from the old hands in this game? Among the younger generation, it seemed only Bai Qi could.
Pleased with Bai Qi¡¯s candid negotiation, Yi Yu handed Bai Qi an imprint, with six different rune patterns stamped on it. One of them even had a key-shaped gap-
Bai Qi paused, realizing that they were imprints Yi Yu¡¯s team had taken from the rune puppet.
¡°Thanks.¡±
Once Bai Qi epted the imprint and gave it to Schuck to scan, an image of the Rubik¡¯s cube was projected. It was indeed the rune Rubik¡¯s cube in Bai Qi¡¯s hands.
With a reference item, Bai Qi¡¯s efficiency in solving the Rubik¡¯s cube increased dramatically. After carefully observing it for a while, Bai Qi started to show off his skills. His fingers flipped nimbly, leaving afterimages that Wang Huai and others could actually see.
After bing a Four Stage Beast Master, both Bai Qi¡¯s spirit power and physique underwent qualitative changes, which was one reason he coulde up with the first version of the Spirit-Control Orb within a single night.
The Four Stage Beast Masters were called Morning Star Beast Masters for a reason.
Soon enough, Bai Qipleted the rune Rubik¡¯s cube. With a sh of light, the Rubik¡¯s cube finally solidified into a metallic cube.
Bai Qi carefully recorded the runes on all six faces of the Rubik¡¯s cube, before he walked over to the rune puppet and plugged it into the hole in its chest. The two pieces joined perfectly without leaving any visible cracks.
¡°The rest is up to you, Minister Yi.¡±
Yi Yu came forward, inserted the key into the hole on the Rubik¡¯s Cube, and a ray of red energy instantly flowed from the cube, washing over the entire gate in an instant. The whole Secret Realm Tower was activated in a sh.
¡°Bai Qi, will you go first?¡±
Yi Yu graciously stepped aside, signaling Bai Qi to go first. However, Bai Qi kept waving his hands, saying, ¡°I only have the right to explore it together with you. The ownership of this tower still belongs to the Thirteenth Bureau, so Minister Yi, you should go in first.¡±
The second set of Gemini Towers was soplicated, even opening the door was a hassle. Who knew what would be inside? He wasn¡¯t about to be the one to find out first.
¡°That¡¯s true. If anything happened to you, Bai Qi, Bai Chuanqi wouldn¡¯t let me off the hook.¡±
Thanks to Chun Yushui¡¯s aggressive promotion, the news of Bai Heguang taking Bai Qi as his disciple wasn¡¯t widely known, but the Thirteenth Bureau, as a special department of the Federation, was in the know.
Seeing Bai Qi unwilling to be the first one to enter, Yi Yu turned to Li Xusheng, who was ready behind him, and said, ¡°Xusheng, you go and check it out first. But remember, don¡¯t be careless.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Li Xusheng nodded silently, immediately transformed into the four-armored mode, pushed open the Secret Realm Gate, and strode in. As he did, runes lit up on the ck tower on the left.
¡°Like the Tower of Gratitude, pass the ck tower first and then the white tower.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the ck tower, then at the unresponsive white tower. Just as he was about to enter, Bai Qiucha suddenly walked up to him.
¡°Let me go first.¡±
Bai Qiucha¡¯s gaze swept over the stable, flickering runes on the firstyer of the ck tower, a trace of battle intent shed in his eyes.
Thest time the two of them challenged the Tower of Gratitude together, even though Bai Qi overtook him halfway, theirpetition wasn¡¯t over.
If they hadn¡¯t run into each other, it would have been fine, but now they had, they had to decide a winner.
Seeing Bai Qiucha step forward, the Blood Scythe Wraith instinctively wanted to stop him. After all, this was an unknown secret realm. If anything happened to Bai Qiucha, it would be impossible for it to exin to its Beast Master.
¡°It¡¯s ok, let him go.¡±
At this time, the Jiuyou Darkbird descended from the sky andnded in front of everyone.
¡°Teacher.¡±
¡°Dad.¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha immediately greeted Bai Heguang, Bai Heguang nodded slightly, looked at Yi Yu, and asked, ¡°Minister Yi, are you sure this is the Law Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm?¡±
Yi Yu shook his head and said, ¡°We can only be sure that this is from the Era of the Law Emperor. Who exactly it belongs to can only be known after we explore it.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, then looked at Bai Qiucha and said, ¡°Go ahead.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded and stepped into the gate, not into the ck tower as Bai Qi predicted, but into the white tower.
¡°No wonder the two towers appeared together. So it¡¯s a random choice of where to enter.¡±
Looking at the simultaneously shing ck and White Towers, Bai Qi understood. He was about to go in and take a look, but was stopped by Bai Heguang.
¡°I heard that you¡¯ve been tinkering with a device that can sign contracts with pets regardless of contractual positions? It¡¯s called Spirit-Control Orb?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s question, Bai Qi grudgingly looked at the Blood Scythe Wraith floating behind Bai Heguang.
He had forgotten that the Blood Scythe Wraith was always with them, as Bai Heguang¡¯s pet, there was no way Bai Heguang wouldn¡¯t know about their adventures these days.
Thinking that he had used his own teacher¡¯s son for an experiment, Bai Qi felt guilty.
Fortunately, he had previously confirmed the problem with Bai Qiucha¡¯s contract position. Otherwise, he estimated that he would have been beaten to death directly by Bai Heguang.
¡°A device that ignores contract position?¡±
Yi Yu¡¯s eyebrows raised, seemingly getting interested as well. Tang Miao and the others also moved closer, curiously staring at Bai Qi.
¡°Ahem, I was just fiddling around, and it¡¯s only a preliminary version anyway, there are still a lot of problems with it.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, hoping to dismiss the matter.
However, Bai Heguang didn¡¯t seem to be nning on letting Bai Qi off so easily, asking, ¡°Do you still have a finished product with you?¡±
Bai Qi, feeling a bit awkward, looked at Yi Yu and the others next to him, and obediently took one out and handed it to Bai Heguang.
Bai Heguang took the Spirit-Control Orb, looked it over roughly, and a touch of surprise shed across his usually indifferent face. He then nced at the Blood Scythe Wraith nearby. The Blood Scythe Wraith understood instantly, disappeared into the shadows, and reappeared with a Wind Snake.
Held by the mythical creature, the Wind Snake had even lost the ability to tremble and was simply frozen, like a popsicle.
¡°Just input your spirit power here, then smash it on the Wind Snake, hmm, it¡¯s better to make the Wind Snake lose its ability to resist and consciousness.¡±
¡°Lose consciousness?¡±
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, nced at the wind snake, and the wind snake instantly fainted.
Holy shit! Even a ferocious beast is scared to death.. Teacher, you¡¯re so
awesome!

Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang with reverence. Although he knew that a Beast Master¡¯s spirit power and constitution improved with each advancement, Bai Qi himself had maximized these improvements at every level. However, he had not expected such a significant transformation upon reaching Legend.
From the energy Bai Heguang exerted earlier, not to mention the Wind Snake, Bai Qi also felt some pressure.
This feeling was more than mere enhancement. It felt like a fundamental metamorphosis of life itself.
Bai Qi stroked his chin. If Bai Heguang continued to level up, would he evolve into an entity as powerful as a legendary creature?
Even stronger, perhaps?
While Bai Qi pondered this mystery, Bai Heguang had already invested his spirit power in the Spirit-Control Orb, then tapped it on the head of the Wind Snake.
The same arrayunched, visibly different from the initial version. The speed of imprinting was much quicker, swiftly forming a full contract on the Wind Snake¡¯s head. Bai Heguang also felt the connection between himself and the Wind Snake.
¡°Impressive, it indeed ignores the contract slot.¡±
Bai Heguang tossed the Spirit-Control Orb back to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°However, for safety, do not casually use the Spirit-Control Orb before you be a Legend. The same goes for other Beast Masters.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. With Bai Heguang and Bai Qiucha personally corroborating the findings, it was confirmed that the Spirit-Control Orb could be used to contract a beast without needing a contract slot.
However, this only proved that the Spirit-Control Orb could bypass the need for a contract slot, not that it wouldn¡¯t upy one.
As for testing it, Bai Qi was unwilling to take the risk, and he wouldn¡¯t readily let other Beast Masters risk it either. After all, beasts contracted using a Spirit-Control Orb couldn¡¯t be quickly upgraded the way a Rune Contract allowed.
Nevertheless, Bai Qi hadn¡¯t nned to give up his research.
If Beast Masters couldn¡¯t use it, could people without talent? Perhaps once he perfected the technology, he might even be able to surprise Zhuge Chen when he returned.
Listening to their conversation, Yi Yu suddenly said, ¡°Bai Qi, can I see that Spirit-Control Orb?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, but handed the Spirit-Control Orb to Yi Yu. The moment he received the orb, Yi Yu¡¯s eyes went white and his aura became elusive.
However, Yi Yu snapped back to reality quickly and handed the Spirit-Control Orb back to Bai Qi.
¡°This is truly a groundbreaking invention. If you keep researching, Bai Qi, it¡¯s bound to bring revolutionary changes to the Federation.¡±
Yi Yu was generous with his praise, then suddenly turned serious. ¡°Bai Qi, I now formally, on behalf of the Federation, invite you to coborate to make the Spirit-Control Orb essible to all those in the Federation without talent. Are you willing?¡±
¡°You can rest assured, the Federation will give you a satisfactory price.¡±
Seeing Yi Yu in such earnest, Bai Qi was slightly taken aback.
Theoretically, indeed, the Spirit-Control Orb could be used by those without talent. But he had never thought about spreading it across the entire Federation.
After all, it was almost impossible to achieve this with his own power.
But if he coborated with the Federation, it would be quite possible.
However, he was a member of the Beast Master Association, and it seemed inappropriate to bypass the Association to directly cooperate with the Federation?
The key point was, Yi Yu had suddenly proposed such a big trade that Bai Qi felt unprepared¡
Spreading throughout the Federation¡ how much money would that mean?
Bai Qi contemted it for a moment before saying, ¡°I have no objections to making it avable to those without talent. However, I would like it to be distributed or sold through the Beast Master Association.¡±
¡°That¡¯s fair.¡±
Yi Yu remained neutral, ncing at the expressionless Bai Heguang. ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll discuss this more thoroughly when this matter is over. After all, something as consequential as this, our Director and President Zhao would be very interested in.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, breathing a sigh of relief.
Securing such a big deal so spontaneously, Bai Qi, despite his two lives¡¯ worth of experience, felt a bit overwhelmed.
This was a business arrangement with the Federation. Compared to this, the Rune Evolution Patent seemed trivial.
Yes, once he got back, he should rece all of his pets¡¯ food with epic materials.
Don¡¯t ask why. The answer is, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
¡°Bai Qi, you really amaze me.¡±
Observing Bai Qi and the others conduct their business, Wang Huai finally couldn¡¯t help but speak.
He thought Bai Qi¡¯s ability to train beasts was already phenomenal. Yet he didn¡¯t expect Bai Qi to also invent something like this. It was indeed beyond his imagination.
¡°Bai Qi, we Baili Brothers would dly acknowledge you as¡¡±
¡°The best!¡±
The Baili Brothers both gave Bai Qi a thumbs up in unison. Tang Miao even moved up to Bai Qi with a sycophantic smile on his face. ¡°Bai Qi, we have fought side by side before. Consider giving me one?¡±
¡°Sorry, Beast Masters are not given free samples. If you have objections¡¡±
Bai Qi nodded towards Bai Heguang, saying, ¡°Please consult my teacher.¡±
¡°Ah, forget 1 asked.¡±
Tang Miao lowered his head in dejection, looking as if he had just lost his favorite doll, which left Bai Qi feeling awkward.
¡°Let¡¯s set aside the Spirit-Control Orb for now, and try to challenge the Gemini Tower.¡±
Bai Heguang stepped onto the Jiuyou Darkbird, looked at Yi Yu, and said, ¡°Minister Yi, I¡¯ll leave the two of them in your care. I won¡¯t be long.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, saying, ¡°Then we¡¯ll have to impose on Bai Chuanqi.¡±
The moment his voice faded, Bai Heguang disappeared again, heading straight towards the ck Python Tribe.
Watching the back of Bai Heguang¡¯s disappearing figure, Bai Qi had a thoughtful look. He nced at Yi Yu, who had aissez-faire expression and a faint smile, and felt a warning in his heart.
They weren¡¯t far from the ck Python Tribe. The Tribe must have noticed the activation of the ck and White Towers. If a transcendent creature were to emerge, they would be wiped out. Yet Yi Yu seemedpletely indifferent, as if he had known that Bai Heguang was going to show up.
¡°This guy, he must have predicted this with his pet, that¡¯s freakishly absurd.¡±
¡°Apologies, I did foresee some images, but it also depends on the choices you make.¡±
As Bai Qi was muttering to himself, Yi Yu suddenly spoke up, a sly smile stretching across his face.
¡°After all, the future isn¡¯t carved in stone.¡±
Oh, how the hell did he know what I was thinking!
Startled, Bai Qi broke into a cold sweat. He wanted to leave this ce immediately and headed straight towards the great ck and white door.
In a sh, Bai Qi felt entangled by two varied forces as if guiding him to make a choice. But whenever Bai Qi had an idea, the energies ignored him.
¡°What does it mean? What are they ying at? Is this a tactic?¡±
Suspended in this invisible space, Bai Qi was eager to break away but seeing that Beta hadn¡¯t given a warning, he knew there wasn¡¯t imminent danger. He continued to wait.
¡°Failure of the previous challenger, next challenger, step forward.¡±
After an unknown period, a robotic voice suddenly echoed in Bai Qi¡¯s ear. The environment in front of him changed abruptly, cing him in a world engulfed by a bright white light.
At the center of this world stood a huge rune mech draped in ck.
¡°This time it¡¯s not a challenge, but a boss fight? With the white world and the ck mech, am I currently in the ck Tower or the White Tower?¡±
Looking at the motionless ck mech, Bai Qi seemed to have an epiphany. He immediately summoned Alpha and the other four pets.
tter, tter.
(Boss, is this the enemy?)
Woof woof!
(This big guy looks familiar. Can I dismantle him?)
¡°What a sophisticated build, dismantling it would certainly be helpful.¡±
Chuff chuff!
(Master, Gamma senses a strange odor, its energy must taste great!)
Gurgle gurgle!
(Master, am I supposed to transform like this?)
Having just appeared, the four pets disyed strong curiosity towards the ck mech. If not for Bai Qi still being around, they probably would¡¯ve begun tearing apart the mech.
¡°No rush, let¡¯s observe the situation first.¡±
The rules of this mystical ce weren¡¯t clear yet, but one thing was certain: Bai Qiucha or Li Xusheng; one of them had lost.
Although Bai Qi¡¯s performance has been more dazzling than the two so far, he can¡¯t say for sure that he could¡¯ve beaten either of them in a fight. Since both of them lost, this mech must be quite formidable.¡±
¡°Detected arge amount of energy value, adjusting ck Sky Mech data¡¡±
¡°Adjustmentpleted,bat power level: Five.¡±
¡°Begin battle!¡±
With a mechanized sound, the ck Sky Mech suddenly sprang into action. Aplicated array was formed on its chest, with countless ck energies rapidly converging into a beam of light that rushed towards Bai Qi and the others.
¡°Damn, this mech has no honor, it¡¯sunching a sneak attack!¡±
Bai Qi cursed under his breath, and Gamma immediately reacted, puffing up his body to protect Bai Qi and the others. Meanwhile, the husky constructed a hemispherical metal shield that enveloped all of them.
As for Alpha, before he was enveloped by Gamma and the husky, he sprinted towards the ck Sky Mech to chase after it.
¡°Detected a powerful destructive device, changing form.¡±
Seeing Alpha swinging the Sword of Death and swiftly approaching, the ck Sky Mech suddenly executed a startling maneuver, stepping off the ground and floating up, walking step by step into the air.
¡°Schuck, Beta, take him down!¡±
Spotting the opportunity, Bai Qi, who had been waiting anxiously, quicklymanded the husky. The Etherium Liquid Gold was distorted, once again turning into a group of turrets and brutally bombing the brown mech in the air. At the same time, countless self-exploding wolves pounced towards the ck Sky Mech.
With the bombardment from the huskies, the ck Sky Mech instantly attempted to change its direction and withdraw, only to find that Alpha, who should have been clueless on the ground, had sprouted a pair of bone wings. Brought by a fierce wind, Alpha chased after him. Although he hadn¡¯t quite approached the Mech, the wind wound was already nging on its exterior.
¡°We are surrounded, initiating the defense system.¡±
A glyph shed on the body of the ck Sky Mech, and a dark green protective cover suddenly expanded from its body, enveloping itpletely. Alpha¡¯s Thunder me Power hit the thin protectiveyer, and surprisingly, it didn¡¯t cause even a ripple, and it disappeared on the spot.
Before Bai Qi could react in surprise, the ck Sky Mech suddenly stretched out its right arm towards Alpha, the arm swiftly transforming into a cannon. Inside the cannon was none other than the Thunder me Power!
Is it borrowing power from heaven and earth?
Grand shift of universe?
Is the Rune Mech from the time of the Law Emperor also studying ancient martial arts?
Chapter 210 - 206: Undead Summoning Skill?
Chapter 210: Chapter 206: Undead Summoning Skill?
Trantor: 549690339
There was a flicker of light, and the group of self-exploding wolves was cut short mid-way. Yet, the cannon attack from the ck Sky mech did not stop. Once more, its aim was set on Alpha and Beta.
Seeing that Husky¡¯s attack was unexpectedly absorbed and transferred by the ck Sky mech, Alpha was taken aback. Regardless, he swiftly dodged the bombardment, bolstered his Wind Wound, and charged forward with his sword.
Meanwhile, realizing that the energy attack was ineffective, Husky stopped firing, shifted into a Twin Wolf form, growled, and charged directly towards the ck Sky mech.
The energy attack failed. Alpha and Husky, without any spoken agreement, chose closebat.
[Enemy tactics have changed, changingbat formation.]
Seeing that the twin pets changed theirbat form, the ck Sky mech also made alterations. The previously ready-to-release Thunder me Power was instantly withdrawn. Its arms transformed into two battle-axes, which it swung towards Alpha and Husky.
Boom!!!
Thud!!!
Two consecutive loud noises echoed. The ck Sky mech remained unmoved. However, Alpha was directly knocked back. The twin-headed wolf, though grimly biting onto the battle-ax, only managed to hang on because of its gigantic size.
¡°A level-five inbat, is this equivalent to the fifth stage? Thisbat power, it seems as if it¡¯s the same as that of the saber-toothed tiger.¡±
Bai Qi licked his lips. After confirming through their contract that Alpha and Husky were unharmed, he told Gamma and Delta, who were closely guarding him: ¡°You guys go and help as well, it won¡¯t attack me for now.¡±
Though Alpha and Husky faltered at the first exchange, it also restricted the ck Sky mech¡¯s movements. It won¡¯t target him for the time being.
And this secret realm¡¯s intelligence seemed higher than that of previous ones.
If their lives were in jeopardy, it should teleport them out.
Gurgle, gurgle.
(Okay, Gamma will go help.)
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯smand, Gamma wriggled its body and advanced towards the ck Sky mech without hesitation. Delta, however, was uncertain.
Bubble, bubble.
(Master, how about I just stay here and protect you?)
¡°Don¡¯t worry, this specifically allows you to participate in trans-levelbat.¡± Bai Qi patted Delta on the head, signaling to it that everything was okay. Only then did Delta start to move, picked up the slowly wriggling Gamma, and swiftly advanced towards the ck Sky mech.
With one less object to restrain, the ck Sky mech was able to free up a hand. It looked at one of its giant axes, tightly bitten by Beta. The other axe, which was severed by the Sword of Death, transformed once again into a Wolf¡¯s Tooth Stick and swung at Schuck.
Upon seeing this, Schuck¡¯s neck extended rapidly, getting ahead just in time to bite the handle of the Wolf¡¯s Tooth Stick. A huge cannon appeared on its body, and it locked onto the ck Sky mech¡¯s head at close range.
At such a close range, even if the ck Sky mech deployed that strange protective cover, it would inevitably envelop the barrel of the gun. By then, he would still be able to inflict damage on the ck Sky mech.
What surprised Schuck was that the moment he bit the Wolf¡¯s Tooth Stick, a huge cannon immediately appeared on the mech¡¯s chest. It preemptively initiated an attack on Husky, directly sending him flying.
This creature¡¯s reflexes and transformation speed were even faster than Schuck¡¯s!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes narrowed at the sight. Just as he was about to order his four pets to retreat and reformte their strategy, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuationing from the corner of his eyes. He then heard a series of roars that sounded like dragons, but not dragons, snakes, but not snakes.
Roar!
On the ground where Alpha had fallen, a giant Crystal Skeleton Dragon started to take shape. Surrounding the Skeleton Dragon, ck smoke coiled around its body like serpents. From a distance, it looked like a nine-headed dragon had been born.
¡°Is that Alpha? And Orochi?¡±
Feeling familiar psychic fluctuations from the Crystal Skeleton Dragon, Bai Qi finally believed that this dragon, bearing a striking resemnce to the Skeleton Giant Dragon, was indeed Alpha. Moreover, the long, snake-like ck aura that coiled around the Crystal Skeleton Dragon was actually the shadow of Orochi formed by the Power of Death.
¡°So the Sword of Death isn¡¯t a physical skill, it¡¯s an undead summoning skill?¡± Looking at Orochi, who was obediently coiled around Alpha and charging at the ck Sky mech, Bai Qi felt a stirring in his heart but quickly suppressed it.
For a split second, he actually contemted taking Alpha on a killing spree of ferocious beasts and beast soul warriors to supply the Sword of Death with summoning creatures.
He was sure that, unless there are restrictions on the Sword of Death itself, this method would absolutely be able to enhance Alpha¡¯sbat power rapidly.
But in return, whether it¡¯s the tribe or the Federation, everyone would view him as a thorn in their side.
In human history, humans and ferocious beasts had a few rare coborations, and the reason was always the Undead Catastrophe.
After all, there is a fundamental difference between undead creatures and other life forms.
¡°It¡¯s a good thing my dao heart is steadfast, otherwise, if I really did that, I would probably be a rat crossing the street.¡±
Bai Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned his attention back to the battlefield.
Although he didn¡¯t know when Alpha thought of it, after transforming into the Crystal Skeleton Dragon, his confrontation with the ck Sky mech was no longer as passive as before. There was even a trend of suppression in terms of strength.
The Orochi wasn¡¯t just a phantom, either. It directly wrapped around the ck Sky mech, and its eight giant mouths kept biting the ck Sky mech.
¡°The Gravity Sword boosts strength, the sword de enhances w attacks, the Sword of Death breaks through defenses, and Orochi distracts?¡±
Watching Alpha, who fused the Sword of Death, Gravity Sword, and Wind Sword into his arm and continuously attacked the ck Sky mech, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but admire.
Even after evolving to a high-grade lord, Alpha remained mostly silent, but hisbat IQkept increasing. Even without Bai Qi¡¯smands, he coulde up with some bizarre battle strategies.
¡°To have nurtured such an intelligent creature, no less than amazing! I¡¯ve outdone myself!¡±
Bai Qi unabashedlyplimented himself, then turned to the remaining three pets and said, ¡°Now¡¯s our chance, let¡¯s attack together!¡±
Howl!!!
The courage of Alpha also stirred up the wolf instincts in Beta¡¯s blood. With a high, lofty howl, the two-headed war wolf lunged again. This time, the war wolfpletely abandoned fancy mechanical weapons and chose the most primitive melee attack.
At the same time, Delta, holding Gamma in its mouth, arrived around the ck Sky Mech, but didn¡¯t attack the ck Sky Mech directly. Instead, it tossed Gamma high and rammed it hard.
Gamma splintered into countless tiny fragments. With Delta¡¯s impulsive force, these tiny split bodies fell like bullets all over the body of the ck Sky Mech. Tiny,pact blood-sucking territories spread across the Mech immediately, wriggling everywhere.
After sending Gamma in, Delta ran to Husky¡¯s side, bit a piece of Etherium Liquid Gold and swallowed it. The light of evolution emerged once again, and another Metal Giant Wolf appeared on the battlefield, attacking the ck Sky Mech as well.
For their first group battle, their coordination was impressive.
[Detection of Power of Death, switchingbat mode.]
Facing such a suppressed situation, the ck Sky Mech was stillpletely unfazed. A slow-moving dark green round stone slowly emerged from the chest; the atmosphere in the field changed instantly.
Howl!!!
(This stone has a weird aura. I¡¯m kind of scared!)
Gloppy gloppy¡.
(Gamma is ufortable. This energy is problematic¡)
Crackle crackle!
(Let¡¯s finish this quickly!)
The three pets quickly exchanged opinions, increasing their attack frequency, but as the dark green round stone appeared, a strange green me emanated from the ck Sky Mech, stretching slowly across its body and even showing signs of spreading to Alpha and the others.
¡°Fallback!¡±
Looking at the strange green me, Bai Qi immediately signaled the four pets to step back. Alpha and the other pets didn¡¯t hesitate and distanced themselves at once.
After the four pets stepped back, the ck Sky Mech slowly rose. The parts broken by the four pets slowly started repairing after being covered by the green me.
Mimetic metal? A life-type skill?
None of these seem relevant¡
Looking at the suddenly menacing ck Sky Mech, Bai Qi shuddered.
Outside the ck and White Towers.
The heavily panting Li Xusheng was full of burn marks. He was staggering, looking like he could copse at any moment. However, after a brief reprieve, Li Xusheng reported directly to Yi Yu, ¡°Minister, the guardian here has a type of unseen green me. Really creepy. I advise against reckless attempts.¡±
Upon hearing that, Yi Yu nodded and looked towards the ck and White Towers still flickering with runes, saying, ¡°Wang Huai, you first aid Xusheng.¡± Wang Huai nodded, immediately summoned a healing nt pet to treat Li Xusheng¡¯s injuries, nced in the direction of the gate, and hesitated to speak. At this point, Li Xusheng too noticed the absence of Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, and upon seeing the state of the ck and White Towers, he instantly figured it out. ¡°Have they both gone in too?¡±
Wang Huai nodded, saying, ¡°They came inter than you did, they should be out soon.¡±
Upon hearing this, Li Xusheng frowned. Although in case of danger, the protective mechanisms of the ck and White Towers would teleport them out, but the quaint green me seemed to consume their life force, which could cause a severe loss of vitality even aftering out.
If he hadn¡¯t controlled the blood flow to block the me timely, and cut off the connection immediately, the mes might still appear along with him. ¡°Minister, how about forcing them out? Otherwise¡¡±
Li Xusheng started to speak but was interrupted by a nce from Yi Yu.
How to describe that look¡
Chaotic, crazy¡.
All words seemed appropriate. Even for someone as resilient as Li Xusheng was taken aback by that look, and he was at a loss for words.
However, that look was fleeting. Yi Yu quickly returned to his normal self andughed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the feedback from the Tarot Crow indicated that the operations were very smooth, and they obtained quite a lot. They will be alright.¡±
Upon hearing Yi Yu, Li Xusheng and others finally rxed, but they were still a bit worried, and all eyes were focused on the gate.
Despite the short time, Bai Qi had fought along with them and was now considered arade. They absolutely didn¡¯t want anything to happen to Bai Qi.
Chapter 211 - 207: Demon Class?
Chapter 211: Chapter 207: Demon ss?
Trantor: 549690339 j
ck Tower Secret Realm.
Bai Qi solemnly looked at the ck Sky Meeh cloaked in green me. ording to the feedback of his four pets, it seemed that the me could simultaneously consume the energy and vitality of the enemies, yet repair the damage to the ck Sky Meeh itself. This ability was even more troublesome than that of the King-level saber-toothed tiger.
Moreover, he cared about what the ck Sky Meeh had said.
He detected the Power of Death? The ck Sky Meeh has abat mode to deal with the Power of Death?
¡°Can you guys resist that green me?¡±
Creak, creak.
(The ghosts summoned by the Sword of Death could temporarily resist it, but once they consumed the energy, it would be over.)
¡°Etherium Liquid Gold won¡¯t be damaged by this kind of me, but it would exhaust our Energy Value and Spirit Power. We can¡¯t engage in meleebat temporarily.¡±
Squelch, squelch.
(Although it¡¯s not delicious, Gamma can try it.)
Gurgle, gurgle.
(Delta can try it too.)
Having heard the answers from his four pets, Bai Qi nodded. He looked at the ck Sky Meeh, which was still slowly repairing itself. After a brief contemtion, he said, ¡°You guys should do this¡¡±
Soon, Bai Qi finished conversing with his four pets. The ck Sky Meeh had alsopleted its repairs. The dark green me no longer zed wildly as before, instead transforming into energy that lit up all the runes on the ck Sky Meeh¡¯s body.
[Evil Energy Mode activated, target, host of the Power of Death!]
The ck Sky Meeh targeted Alpha, and then charged towards the Crystal Skeleton Dragon which Alpha had transformed into. Alpha didn¡¯t hesitate either, as Orochi wrapped directly around his body, forming ayer of armor to protect Alpha from being burnt by the me.
Boom!
The ck Sky Meeh and Alpha collided head-on, their powerful forces whipping up a fierce storm in this world of white light.
However, the ck Sky Meeh¡¯s power had increased a lot after entering Evil Energy Mode, and after a brief stalemate, Alpha seemed to be losing ground. ¡°Schuck, Beta, go!¡±
Seeing this situation, Bai Qi looked at the husky close to him. The husky immediately understood, leapt up, and directly entered the empty body of the Crystal Skeleton Dragon. He ran all the way to Alpha¡¯s dragon head position and conjured a huge wolf head.
Then, the husky¡¯s body rapidly expanded. Etherium Liquid Gold mimicked organs one by one, blood vessels, muscles, skin, scales¡
Crystal was the bone, metal was the body, death energy was the shell. The Crystal Skeleton Dragon, which originally only had a skeleton, instantly transformed into a Metal Giant Dragon radiating silver light. The ck snake on its body surface added a touch of eeriness.
Sure enough, with the husky filling in, Alpha, who was originally suppressed immediately changed his weak state and started to suppress the ck Sky Meeh. He also adeptly dodged the cannon fire that came abruptly from the ck Sky Meeh¡¯s chest.
Energy fluctuation detected on enemy¡¯s lower right, dodge in time.¡±
¡°Right fist showing signs of attack, disrupt in advance.¡±
¡°Sensing the ignition of Evil Energy me, retreat three steps.¡± ¡°Left shoulder joint at 0.5 meters is not protected by the me, can be attacked.¡±
With the help of Beta¡¯s increasingly powerful perception ability, Schuck quickly analyzed all of the ck Sky Meeh¡¯s attack movements, and Alpha, relying on his excellent reaction speed, perfectly executed all of Schuck¡¯smands. On the other hand, the ck Sky Meeh, instead of continually adjusting its form ording to the battle situation, fought more and more ferociously. From a distance, it was as if a demon burning with green mes was resisting the suppression of a giant dragon.
¡°Delta, Gamma, your turn.¡±
Seeing that the battle was going as he had anticipated, Bai Qi immediately patted Delta and Gamma at his side.
Gurgle, gurgle!
(Delta understands!)
Delta received a crystal from Bai Qi¡¯s hands, crunched it hard, and his body suddenly changed, turning directly into arge ¡®Heaven Swimming Roc,¡¯ grabbed Gamma and flew toward the ck Sky Meeh.
These crystals were none other than the Space Crystal Fragments that Bai Qi had obtained from the Stone Tower Secret Realm.
Those of his had already gone to Delta for the evolution discovery, and these were returned to Bai Qi by Bai Qiucha in gratitude for the Spirit-Control Orb.
In Bai Qiucha¡¯s words, his spatial secret realm was toorge, and these fragments were basically useless¡ªthey were more valuable to Bai Qi.
For this, Bai Qi did not refuse, epted them all, but did not use them all. He kept them with him for emergencies.
Just like now.
Although it didn¡¯tst long, the form of a King-level ¡®Heaven Swimming Roc¡¯ was enough for Delta to join this battle.
The speed of ¡®Heaven Swimming Roc¡¯ was extremely fast, almost in an instant it arrived above the ck Sky Meeh¡¯s head, urately threw Gamma towards ¡¯ the ck Sky Meeh¡¯s chest, and disappeared into the air. It had already entered the Void.
After absorbing some of the Space Crystal Fragments, Delta still couldn ¡®t master the skills of ¡®Heaven Swimming Roc,¡¯ but it had gained some of the talents of ¡®Heaven Swimming Roc.¡¯
Traveling through the Void was one of them.
Seeing Gamma falling from the sky, the ck Sky Meeh instinctively wanted to create distance.
Although Gamma hadn¡¯t harmed him, the Bloodsucking Aura posed no less of a threat.
Before ck Sky Meeh could create any distance between them, the Sky Peng transformed by Delta drilled out of the void directly from behind him and rammed straight into his back. The space at the point of collision was even shattered by the impact of this giant strength.
Under the impact, the rune on ck Sky Meeh began to show some fluctuations. His body involuntarily leaned forward. Seizing the opportunity, Alpha and Husky manifested a few more arms again and firmly pinned ck Sky Meeh to the ground.
Simultaneously, Gamma managed to get onto ck Sky Meeh. His undting body wrapped around the dark green round stone in ck Sky Meeh¡¯s chest At the same time, he maxed out the power of the Bloodsucking Aura and started absorbing the energy in the green round stone with all his might.
Having his energy sucked out like this by Gamma, the green energy on ck Sky Meeh¡¯s body dimmed suddenly, and even his movements to resist became significantly weaker.
¡°We¡¯ve done it!¡±
Bai Qi, seeing this, clenely punched the air in victory. His guess was correct. Whether it was the energy-absorbing shield at the beginning or the green me that followed, it all originated from this green round stone. Hence, as long as he severed the connection between the green round stone and ck Sky Meeh, it did not induce fear.
Now, it all depends on whether Gamma could cut off the energy supply from the green round stonepletely.
[Evil Energy Core attacked, limit system damaged, Evil Power releasing rate 100%]???? ¡¯
Just when Bai Qi thought victory was at hand, a cold voice suddenly came from within ck Sky Meeh, and his entire body was engulfed in green me in an instant. The terrifying energy actually forced Alpha and Husky to retreat.
Kapuk! Kapuk!
(It¡¯s so hot, Gamma can¡¯t stand it anymore!)
Burnt like this by the green me, Gamma was also somewhat rundown, but he still did not let go of the green round stone ¨C he even increased his absorption.
But the state of ck Sky Meeh, which had fully unleashed its Evil Power, seemed a little strange. The original mech body began to melt slowly and ¡¯ gradually transformed into ayer of green skin. The body¡¯s structure also began to change slowly.
¡°This state seems very problematic!¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he immediately ryed a message to Alpha, who immediately understood. A thin, long arm extended from the dragon w, wielding the Sword of Death towards the green round stone.
From ck Sky Meeh¡¯s previous attitude, it was clear that it was wary of the Sword of Death. Perhaps the Sword of Death is the only thing that can cause it fatal harm.
But at this moment, ck Sky Mech seemed to havepletely ignored the special ability of the Sword of Death. Seeing the Sword of Death thrusting towards it, it directly blocked it with its hand. Its palm was just stabbed by the Sword of Death, but it was quickly patched up by the Evil Power.
The Sword of Death was stuck on ck Sky Meeh¡¯s arm and temporarily could not escape. ck Sky Mech, on the other hand, had a free hand, reaching out for Gamma on its chest.
Bai Qi frowned slightly. Just as he was about to let the four pets retreat, Delta suddenly devolved back to its Ancestral Beast state and plunged into the Evil Energy me.
Suddenly, the familiar Evolution Light lit up, and Delta¡¯s body quickly expanded, bing the same size as ck Sky Mech. Its body was also wrapped in green mes with sharp horns on its head. It turned into a huge flesh demon.
[Name]: Furious Guardian
[Nature]: Demon
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level King
[Introduction]: An incredibly mysterious race, only seen in records. It is said that as long as a demon emerges, it is the time of world destruction.
A demon ss?
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. Clearly, he didn¡¯t expect there to be such a race.
If there are demons, are there angels?
Do these legendary races truly exist?
As Bai Qi was pondering this, Delta roared and directly ignored the Evil Energy me on ck Sky Mech. With a p, she knocked it to the ground The other hand prated ck Sky Meeh¡¯s defense and tore out the ck round stone.
Without the support of the green round stone, the green me around ck Sky Mech disappeared immediately, and the mech returned to its normal appearance.
Sessfully defeated ck Sky Mech, assessment passed.¡±
At the same time, a voice rang in Bai Qi¡¯s ears. The already battered ck Sky Mech suddenly vanished, but the green round stone, still wrapped in Gamma, remained in the same ce.
¡°Finally, we won.¡±
Bai Qi let out a deep breath and was about to help the four pets recover their state. Suddenly, Delta roared andunched an attack on Alpha and Husky at his side.
¡°Damn, did she lose control?¡±
Looking at Delta with red eyes and a beastly appearance, Bai Qi cursed silently and immediately asked Alpha to stop her.
But Delta seemed to havepletely ignored Alpha, knocking Alpha aside with brute force and heading straight for Gamma.
In other words, heading straight for the green round stone wrapped by Gamma.
Just then, Alpha tackled Delta from behind, and Gamma split part of its body to cover Delta, beginning to absorb the Evil Power from Delta.
But even so, Delta¡¯s consciousness was still in a violent state, struggling constantly.
¡°What kind of crappy secret realm is this, it actually affects the mentality of the pets?¡±
Bai Qi, seeing this, directly yelled a few curses at the secret realm, then strode forward, intending to forcefully use the Evolution Egg to make Delta recover.
The Evolution Egg can even neutralize the Power of Death, there¡¯s no reason it can¡¯t handle this Evil Power.
Arwh?
(Should I give it a try?)
Beta suddenly popped her head out from Alpha, approached Delta¡¯s ear, and with a shock on her face, she started reciting the Great Compassion Mantra. Delta, who had been struggling hard, actually began to calm down after hearing this sound.
Soul Whisper? The Great Compassion Mantra?
I am floored, it can be used like this!!!

Watching Delta, who slowly calmed down under Beta¡¯s continuous recitation, Bai Qi felt relieved, though the corner of his eyes twitched uncontrobly.
When he had discovered that Beta¡¯s ¡®Great Compassion Mantra¡¯ had calming properties, he had been very surprised. What he did not expect was that it could even soothe raging emotions.
The power of such mind-controlling capabilities seemed a little bit like that of the Buddhist techniques he was familiar with.
It seemed that he would have to gather all the Buddhist scriptures he knew and teach them to Beta. Perhapsbining these teachings with a ¡®Soul Whisper¡¯ might yield unexpected results.
Atst, as Gamma had absorbed all the evil energy from Delta, Delta alsopletely regained his consciousness.
Bloop bloop!
(I actually attacked mypanion just now!)
Thinking of his previous actions, Delta was full of shame and felt unworthy to face Bai Qi and the others again.
ck ck.
(It¡¯s okay, none of us got hurt.)
Alpha, who had returned from its crystal dragon form, patted its own chest to signify that it was unharmed, while Schuck supported it from the side.
¡°This evil power seems to influence one¡¯s mind and cause loss of control, which is normal.¡±
Bloop bloop!
(My willpower is still too weak. I need to train harder. Master, let¡¯s add more training when we return!!!)
Bai Qi gently nodded his head and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
The ability of Delta to evolve ording to the environment was indeed good. But looking at today¡¯s situation, it was clear that Delta¡¯s control needed to be strengthened. If this could be controlled, wouldn¡¯t the Demon State he entered previously act as a powerful weapon?
Clop clop.
(Master, Gamma seems a bit unable to shake off this stone.)
Just then, Gamma suddenly sent a plea for help to Bai Qi. He immediately turned his head to look, and he saw that Gamma was trying its hardest to shake off the green round stone, but no matter how hard Gamma stretched itself, its body was still firmly stuck to the green round stone.
Bai Qi frowned. This green round stone was definitely rted to the Demon ss creature Delta had just evolved into, and the eerie Green me also originated from this.
¡°Can¡¯t you split yourself from it?¡±
Clop clop.
(I can¡¯t split myself. This stone is absorbing Gamma¡¯s life force, and Gamma is absorbing it, so I can¡¯t move.)
It was absorbing Gamma¡¯s life force?!
At this, Bai Qi was taken aback. He immediately asked Alpha toe forward to help, but they still couldn¡¯t separate the two.
Looking at Gamma, whose color had be dark green from absorbing arge amount of evil power, Bai Qi steeled his resolve and activated the Evolution Egg, dressing Gamma in it.
As expected, the moment the Evolution Egg touched the green round stone, the evil energy me burned again, beginning to incinerate the Golden Egg.
The strength of the Golden Egg was obviously far superior to the Silver Egg, but it also only persisted for a while before showing signs of melting.
But Bai Qi was prepared. He held the dragon scales in one hand and continually applied the Golden Egg to Gamma with the other.
Finally, after using five or six Golden Eggs, the evil energy me waspletely covered. But Bai Qi also felt a rapid loss of physical strength and almost lost his footing.
¡°Draining so much of my energy at once, could it be¡¡±
Looking at Gamma, whose state had stabilized, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, showing that he had guessed something.
Just then, a newly formed ck Sky Meeh suddenly appeared in the Secret Realm, startling Bai Qi and the others.
They had a hard enough time dealing with one ck Sky Meeh. Now that another one had appeared, he wasn¡¯t confident that he could win again.
Fortunately, this ck Sky Meeh did not attack them. Instead, it approached Bai Qi while carrying a small metal sphere. Once it had ced the sphere down, it returned to its original position and went into standby mode.
Damn, not again¡
Thinking of the previous Rune Rubik¡¯s Cube, Bai Qi felt a headache instinctively when he saw the metal sphere.
Could this be preparing me for another Secret Realm¡?
Bai Qi picked up the metal sphere for closer examination. The sphere was made entirely out of a brass-colored metal, with no sign of any seams or even a single rune. If it wasn¡¯t a reward given after clearing the stage, Bai Qi would absolutely have dismissed it as amon metal ball and disposed of it.
¡°Another puzzle to solve, huh¡¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that Delta showed no signs of waking up, he simply began studying the ball.
Outside of the ck and White Towers.
In the anxious eyes of the crowd, the figure of Bai Qiucha suddenly appeared.
Compared to thepletely charred Li Xusheng, Bai Qiucha looked much better, but he was clearly exhausted. It was as if he had consumed arge amount of spiritual power.
¡°Young Master Qiucha, are you okay?¡±
Upon seeing this scene, Blood Scythe Giant Spirit, who was left here, came forward to ask.
¡°I¡¯m okay, I just used up a bit too much spirit power.¡±
Bai Qiucha sat down next to a stone and then began to meditate.
His luck was really bad. He had run into a Meeh that controlled the power of life.
Perhaps the Power of Life was a great supplement for other creatures, but for the Skeleton Dragon, it was clear and effective poison.
If it wasn¡¯t for his Spirit Communicator talent which he utilized to protect the Skeleton Dragon, it would have suffered severe damage this time.
Soon, Qiucha recovered a part of his spirit power and hisplexion improved a lot. He nced around and realized Bai Qi was not in the team, so he frowned.
¡°Is Bai Qi still in the tower?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s main pet, Alpha, also belonged to the Undead Department. Even though the properties of the crystal bone had weakened some of its attribute suppression, an undead is still an undead; it naturally rejects life force.
Without Alpha¡¯s output, the other three pets under Bai Qi¡¯smand were certainly unable to break through the defenses of the ¡°Dayshine¡± mech.
As for the other tower, even if he hadn¡¯t gone in yet, he could guess that the guardian in it wouldn¡¯t be easy to handle.
Upon hearing this, Wang Huai nodded, saying, ¡°Bai Qi entered just a little after you, and I¡¯m not sure why he hasn¡¯te out yet.¡±
Almost four hours had passed since Bai Qi entered, but the runes on the ck tower were still shing.
If it wasn¡¯t for the rule that prevents challengers from appearing in the same space at the same time in this kind of secret world, he would have already intervened.
Swoosh!
At that moment, the ck and white towers suddenly radiated brightly, and two giant figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Before anyone could get a clear look at these two figures, the ck and white towers astonishingly sunk into the ground and disappeared.
¡°The ck Sky Mech! The Dayshine Mech!¡±
The first to recognize these two mechs were Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha, who had each fought one of them. Upon seeing these two mechs reappear, both entered battle mode. If their conditions hadn¡¯t been so bad, they might haveunched an attack right away.
The actions of these two put Wang Huai and the others on high alert, each summoning their own pets, ready to attack.
¡°Cough, cough, keep calm, keep calm, these two are not enemies.¡±
At this moment, Bai Qi walked out from behind the two mechs, saying; ¡°These two mechs are not aggressive, so you don¡¯t need to be so cautious.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha exchanged nces, but they also dropped theirbat readiness.
¡°Bai Qi, can you tell us what happened inside?¡±
Yi Yu walked up to Bai Qi, looking at the nowpletely vanished ck and white towers behind the two mechs, and said, ¡°Seeing how the ck and white towers left, could it be that you havepleted the challenge?¡±
Upon hearing Yi Yu¡¯s question, Bai Qi¡¯s face twitched, and he nodded awkwardly, saying, ¡°I guess so.¡±
¡°What do you mean by ¡®I guess so¡¯?¡±
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao refuted, saying, ¡°Either you¡¯ve cleared it or not. There¡¯s no ¡®I guess so¡¯.¡±
¡°What Bai Qi said is¡¡±
¡°Complicated.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you say it¡¡±
¡°More clearly?¡±
The Baili Brothers also expressed their opinions one after the other. However, Bai Qi took a long time to think, but still couldn¡¯t offer a reasonable exnation.
The ck Tower¡¯s Secret.
After about three hours of study, Bai Qi was still at a loss regarding the metal sphere he had in his hand.
¡°Since it¡¯s a product of the Era of Law Emperor, it must be somehow rted to the runes. Unless, is this thing a part of something else?¡±
The ck and white towers were open at the same time, he had just entered one of them, perhaps the other part was in the other tower.
¡°Let¡¯s wait until Gamma has finished evolving, so then I can study the other tower.¡±
Just at this moment, the golden egg, which was not due to hatch yet, broke on its own ord. The familiar evolution light shed from it, thus confirming Bai Qi¡¯s previous spection.
Gamma was going to evolve to Lord Level!
But why is this evolution light green? It¡¯s the same color as the previous evil energy, which really was quite unsettling.
As if to prove Bai Qi¡¯s worries correct, a green me seeped out from the cracks in the golden egg, and thenpletely enveloped the entire golden egg.
The slowly breaking golden egg was immediately melted by the green me and turned into a gold energy which merged into the green me.
At the same time, a piece of information also flowed into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Skill Name]: Sacrificial Aura
[Skill Level]: High-stage
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Demon ss, able to inflict burning damage on enemies, continuously depleting their life force.
There are indeed skills from the Demon ss!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes flitted, Delta first evolved into a demon form, and then Gamma understood a technique from the Demon ss. It seemed that there was indeed the existence of demonic creatures in this world.
At least, they once existed.
¡°I¡¯ll look into it when I get back. Those from the Demon ss don¡¯t seem like good citizens.¡±
Soon, another piece of information rushed into Bai Qi¡¯s mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
[Skill Name]: Energy Splitter
[Skill Level]: High-stage
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Demon ss, able to transfer energy topanions to enhance their fighting power.
No wonder the ck Sky Mech was able to absorb Beta¡¯s Thunder me Power and guide it to use as their own attack method. They must have achieved it through a simr technique.
Now that Gamma also has such a skill, doesn¡¯t that mean Gamma can also provide energy to Alpha and the others?
Gamma, the mobile giant power bank, has been born!
Seeing Gamma sessively obtaining two high-grade high-quality skills, Bai Qi was even more interested in Gamma¡¯s future skills.
The high-stage skills are all like this, so the super skills shouldn¡¯t be much worse, right?
Chapter 213 - 209: Sorcerers Perpetual Motion Machine?
Chapter 213: Chapter 209: Sorcerer¡¯s Perpetual Motion Machine?
Trantor: 549690339
Finally, under Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, the light of evolutionpletely dispersed from Gamma¡¯s body, and a wave of intricate information rushed into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Skill Name]: Life Energy Conversion
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description]: A skill of the Demon ss, it can freely convert and store life and energy values, which is one of the reasons for the demon s strong vitality.
Life Energy Conversion?!
Bai Qi dumbfoundedly observed this super skill in his mind, which had no attack power, but he didn¡¯t dismiss it at all. Instead, he couldn¡¯t help but burst into heartyughter.
Being able to convert and store life and energy values, this is simply custom-
made for Gamma.
Bloodsucking Aura + Life Energy Conversion + Energy Diversion.
He never imagined that the perpetual motion machine of Shankou Mountain would one day appear in his own pet.
With such a set-up, who could kill Gamma!!!
Cluck Cluck!
(Master, Gamma feels a little different now.)
The sessfully evolved Gamma gave a light hop andnded on Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, looking at its body curiously with a pair of big eyes.
Its body was still green, but the color had be a lot darker. However, it did not have the gloom of the Evil Energy me. Instead, it was like an emerald, shining with light.
Through Gamma¡¯s dark green body, you could still see strands of gold, but these strands were no longer randomly distributed. Instead, they gathered in the center of Gamma, like a golden me.
¡°The shape hasn¡¯t changed much, I wonder what the attributes are.
Bai Qi inspected it up and down, then put his hand on Gamma.
[Name]: ??? (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Evolution Level]: Third Stage Eighth level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial skills]: Bloodsucking Aura (High level ¨C Mastery), Deadly Poison Aura (High level ¨C Mastery), Split (Mid-Level ¨C Proficient), Mimicry (Low Level ¨C Perfection), Corrosion (Low Level ¨C Perfection), Toxin Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Perfection)¡ Golden Cicada Shelling (Super Level ¨C Beginner), Sacrificial Aura (High level ¨C Beginner), Energy Diversion (High level ¨C Beginner), Life Energy Conversion (Super Level ¨C Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 8286000
The level had increased by four levels, but the energy value had soared, astonishingly higher than the minimum energy value of the Third Stage Lord by more than eight times.
¡°This is how much it is now. When Gamma advances to the Four Stage, or even the Seven Stage, how mutated will this energy value be? Oh no, I haven¡¯t even calcted the storage function of Life Energy Conversion.
Bai Qi grinned. It was hard to say, but if anyone wanted to exhaust Gamma in a battle, they would definitely be tired to death.
¡°An indestructible creature¡ Let¡¯s call you the Undying King, shall we?¡±
Cluck Cluck!
(Thank you, Master!)
Gamma appeared to be very pleased with its new race name, hopping and skipping around Bai Qi, who also wore a cheerful smile.
He originally thought that he would have to wait until the end of the training to exchange the Mythical Materials to help Gamma evolve into a Lord level, but he didn¡¯t expect to achieve the goal in advance just by exploring a secret realm.
All members are at Lord level. Goal achieved!
¡°With this, there are more options for the Holy Relic Tower-
Bai Qi stroked his chin, nning to think about the choice of Mythical Resources after he got back. Then he stood up, looking puzzled at the motionless ck Sky Meeh in front of him.
¡°Why haven¡¯t I been let out yet, is there a dy in this secret realm?
He had already received the reward for clearing the stage, but he hadn¡¯t been teleported out, which made Bai Qi somewhat worried.
¡°I didn¡¯t encounter a BUG while entering the secret realm through the main gate, right? I¡¯m not interested in facing this big guy all day.¡±
Just then, a darkness appeared in the world filled with white light and quickly expanded until it stood equal to the white light before it stopped.
In that dark area, there was also a mech with the same design as the ck Sky Meeh but shining with white light all over.
¡°Is this the mech on the other side? It¡¯s not going to have us fight both of them
at the same time, is it?¡±
Although Gamma had evolved into a Lord level, Bai Qi had no confidence in his heart to face two abnormal mechs at the Fifth Stage at the same time.
However, these two mechs did not intend to attack Bai Qi. After simultaneously appearing, they cast ck and white rays of light, and the clear dividing line instantly cracked open, revealing a chaotic-looking hole.
Then, a small mech squeezed out from it, shaking its head like a real person before it came back to its senses.
¡°Huh, someone cleared the stage?¡±
Thepact Mech nced at the ck and white Mechs that appeared at the same time, seeming a little surprised, then turned its attention to Bai Qi and his four pets on the side.
¡°So you¡¯re the one who passed through the secret realm? Judging by your dress, it seems like it¡¯s not the era of that old coot, the Law Emperor anymore.¡± Hearing thepact Meeh¡¯s words, Bai Qi first paused, then nodded, ¡°Yes, more than a thousand years have passed since the Law Emperor¡¯s death.
¡°More than a thousand years? That means the Law Emperor¡¯s turned into dust
by now. Tsk tsk¡ Humans really are fragile.¡±
Thepact Mech sighed, a hint of regret appeared on its face. If Bai Qi hadn¡¯t known that it was indeed a Mech, he might have even questioned if it was a real person.
¡°Um, may I ask who you are?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s question, thepact Mech lifted its head, ¡°Just call me ck
White, it¡¯s just a codename anyway.¡±
ck White? Clearly, he had just randomly made that up, right?
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn¡¯t probe further, ¡°Well, ck
White, now that I¡¯ve passed the challenge, can I leave?¡±
¡°Leave? Not so fast. I haven¡¯t talked to anyone in more than a thousand years.
Keep mepany and have a chat first.¡±
ck White shook his head like a wind-up toy, patted the space beside him and said, ¡°Come sit, and tell me about the human¡¯s situation these years. Do the ferocious beasts still love attacking human cities like before?¡±
¡°Are those guys who have a thing for human women still alive?¡±
Seeing ck White¡¯s curiosity, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, but obediently sat beside ck White.
ck White was clearly the manager of the secret realm. If he couldn¡¯t appease him, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to leave in his lifetime.
On the other hand, he might be able to glean some useful information from
ck White.
¡°Let¡¯s start with the current situation. Now there are no more dynasties, but a Federation¡ The Mechanical Legend has broken the bnce¡ Various Titled Legends fight everywhere¡ We are in a period of peace with the Ferocious Beast Tribe¡¡±
Thanks to the recent adventure in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, Bai Qi had specifically reviewed human history, so it was easy for him to inform ck White about the humans¡¯ situation in the past years.
¡°Mechanical Engineering Department? This sounds very simr to our Rune Mechs. But the core weapon you mentioned does sound very powerful. Humans have indeed made progress over these years.¡±
After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s description, ck White urately pinpointed the key turning point in the bnce between humans and ferocious beasts: the development of the Mechanical Engineering Department and the core weapons. ¡°By the way, do you have a core weapon? Show it to me. Maybe I can modify these two big guys.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but the core weapons are all controlled by the Federation. How could a Beast Master like me ess them?¡± Although Yi Yu had promised him a seven-stage Mechanical Engineering technique, Bai Qi understood clearly that the information on core weapons would not appear in it.
¡°That¡¯s true. The old Law Emperor didn¡¯t intend to poprize these two big guys anyway.¡±
ck White nodded and then looked at Bai Qi with interest, ¡°By the way, how did you defeat ck Sky? The design of the guardian is a bit different from these mass-produced ones.¡±
The guardian¡¯s design is different?
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi looked at ck Sky, and realized that its chest was not a green round stone, but had been reced by a transparent crystal.
¡°That stone was obtained by the Law Emperor from outer space. Because he couldn¡¯t fully understand its attributes, he used it to make ck Sky. But generally, ck Sky doesn¡¯t easily release its energy. What did you do?¡± Bai Qi twitched the corner of his lips slightly, you¡¯re the secret realm manager and you¡¯re asking me? Were you knocked senseless?
Luckily, ck White remembered his role as the manager of the secret realm and directly pulled up the footage of Bai Qi¡¯s battle with ck Sky.
At first it was normal, with ck Whitementing on the tactics of Bai Qi¡¯s four pets. However, when he saw the Sword of Death in Alpha¡¯s hand, ck White instantly appeared behind the ck and White Sky Mech.
¡°How did you contract a pet that possesses the Power of Death? No wonder ck Sky behaved so unusually. Get away from me, now!
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly, ¡°It happened identally, don¡¯t worry. Alpha hasplete control and nothing will go wrong.¡±
Upon hearing this, ck White cautiously peeked his head out but instantly shrank back when he saw the ck long sword behind Alpha.
¡°No, the Power of Death is too dangerous, I can¡¯t let him stay here. Take your rewards and leave immediately!¡±
As he spoke, ck White waved his hand, the two Mechs appeared next to Bai Qi, and a huge teleportation circle sprung up under Bai Qi, covering him and the ck and White Sky Mech.
¡°The ck Sky and White Sky Mechs have been used a lot, if you can¡¯t afford it, don¡¯t mess around.¡±
After activating the teleportation circle, the fear on ck White¡¯s face had not lessened at all, ¡°No, I can¡¯t stay here either, I¡¯m going to lie low somewhere else.¡±
Hearing ck White¡¯s words, Bai Qi was speechless. However, upon seeing the two giant Mechs behind him, he refrained from speaking further.
¡°By the way, what exactly is this metal sphere?¡±
Right as Bai Qi was about to be teleported away, he suddenly remembered the metal sphere and quickly asked ck White about it.
¡°You mean this? This thing was found by the Law Emperor in¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, the teleportation circle activated, teleporting Bai Qi away instantly.
I¡¯m at a loss for words! Can you time your cutoffs any better? Your cliffhanger skills might as well bepared to some specific writers from my previous life. At least let me hear where he found it!
Chapter 214 - 210: Dual Sky Meeh
Chapter 214: Chapter 210: Dual Sky Meeh
Trantor: 549690339
After listening to Bai Qi¡¯s description, Wang Huai and the others fell into silence, while Tang Miao even dropped his jaw wide in disbelief. ¡°So, you¡¯re saying you scared away the guardian of this secret realm?¡±
¡°Howcould that be? He probably has some psychological trauma rting to this.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, seeing the tense expression of the ck and White Towers. They had obviously encountered the Blood of Death during the Era of Law Emperor, and perhaps even confronted Death itself, hence their fear.
¡°I knew that as long as you took action, Bai Qi, this secret realm would definitely be unlocked.¡±
Yi Yu walked up to Bai Qi with a slight smile, looking at the two towering mechs by Bai Qi¡¯ s side.¡± Have these two mechs already recognized you as their master?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head. ¡°Not exactly. ording to ck and White, these mechs are fresh from the factory. Nothing has been finalized yet, including their energy sources.¡±
Thinking about it made him annoyed. ck and White Towers had the time to ry the status of the two mechs to him, but didn¡¯t spare a moment to exin the origin of the metallic sphere. Now left with a mystery, only heaven knows when he¡¯d decipher its secrets.
¡°Is that so¡¡±
Yi Yu¡¯s gaze swept back and forth between the two mechs, a gleam of fanaticism asionally flickering in his eyes. But he said nothing more, just standing silently, as if appreciating two works of art.
Seeing the unscathed Bai Qi, Li Xusheng also walked up and asked earnestly, ¡°Bai Qi, how did you extinguish that green me?¡±
¡°Green me, you encountered it too?¡±
Bai Qi was slightly taken aback at the news. ording to ck and White Towers, ck Sky only activated the Evil Energy Mode due to sensing the Sword of Death. So how had Li Xusheng also activated it?
Could it be, did Li Xusheng get contaminated by the Power of Death during that encounter?
¡°Uh, were you okay after thest time in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm? I mean, are you sure you¡¯vepletely removed the Blood of Death?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s off-topic response, Li Xusheng furrowed his brows slightly, misunderstanding Bai Qi¡¯s meaning, and walked straight back to his spot, leaving Bai Qipletely puzzled.
What caused this sudden fallout?
Bai Qi scratched his head helplessly. Upon seeing Li Xusheng¡¯s swiftly healing wounds, he decided not to probe further.
Based on the properties of the Blood of Death, if Li Xusheng truly was contaminated, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be bouncing around now.
Well, it must be a coincidence.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect to lose to you once again in deciphering a secret realm.¡±
Unlike Li Xusheng¡¯s confusion, Bai Qiucha seemed quite indifferent about losing to Bai Qi, even appearing somewhat relieved.
As a young prodigy, Bai Qiucha was under no small amount of pressure. Being the Legendary Son meant he could not afford tog behind others, and he had been living up to the expectation.
Now, continuously being overtaken by Bai Qi, Bai Qiucha was beginning to feel liberated. His motivation to be stronger surged unprecedentedly.
Chasing from behind, after all, provided more motivation than leading from the front.
¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence. Besides, I wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything if I had encountered White Meeh.¡±
From ck and White Towers, Bai Qi knew that White Sky was theplete opposite of ck Sky, a Defensive New Meeh. It seemed to contain a special stone, which made it extraordinarily resilient.
If he really met it, Bai Qi would probably have to rely on Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death for a miracle.
But speaking of which, once you clear one of the ck and White Secret Realms, you can¡¯t go to the other. They were clearly not intended to allow one to obtain both unique stones.
So stingy!
Bai Qi silently grumbled about the ck and White Towers and their master. Then he saw a figure flying towards them from the distance. It was Bai Heguang and the Jiuyou Darkbird returning from the ck Python Tribe.
¡°Dad, are you alright?¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately went to inquire, while Bai Heguang simply shook his head. ¡°It was just a legendary giant snake. It was no match for Jiuyou.¡±
After hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha was finally relieved. Bai Heguang then noticed the missing ck and White Towers and the two mechs, ck Sky and White Sky.
¡°The Dual Sky Meeh from the Era of Law Emperor? I never thought it would be preserved here.¡±
After taking a few looks at the Dual Sky Meeh, Bai Heguang immediately recognized their identity. He then looked at Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, did you clear it?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and asked, ¡°Do you know about the Dual Sky Meeh, Teacher?¡±
Bai Heguang said, ¡°In a sense, the Era of Law Emperor was very simr to the Federation. During their confrontations with the Ferocious Beasts, they primarily used various Rune Puppets and Mechs. Among them, the Dual Sky Meeh was the most famous.¡±
¡°Unfortunately, after the Law Emperor died, the Dual Sky Meeh also gradually disappeared.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi had a sudden realization while Yi Yumended from the side, ¡°Bai Chuanqi is indeed the top in the Federation in archaeology. If the Dual Sky Meeh were given to him, he would surely restore their original functions.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±
Upon hearing those words, Bai Heguang outright refused. ¡°The Thirteenth Bureau discovered the secret realm. It wouldn¡¯t be fair for our association to monopolize it.¡±
Saying this, Bai Heguang nced at Bai Qi. ¡°We each take a mech and share the research data.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Yi Yu nodded his head, agreeing with Bai Heguang¡¯s suggestion, then he turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re the one who sessfullypleted the mission, so why don¡¯t you make the choice?¡±
Upon hearing Yi Yu¡¯s words, Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang, and after seeing that he also agreed, he scrutinized the two mechs for a moment before ultimately choosing the unfamiliar White Mech.
Although the ck Sky Mech was focused on offense, in reality, its mode ofbat was very simr to Husky¡¯s. The only thing that was truly powerful was the circr stone it contained. This didn¡¯t offer much for him to learn from.
The defensive White Mech, on the other hand, likely had many valuable aspects. Once he had learned from it, he could enhance Husky¡¯s defenses.
Seeing that Bai Qi had made his choice, Yi Yu didn¡¯t hesitate to put the ck Sky Mech away. ¡°Our task ispleted; we¡¯ll take our leave now.¡±
¡°As for the Spirit-Control Orb and our previous trade, I¡¯m nning on visiting your federation in a few days. We¡¯ll discuss it then.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi slightly nodded, watching as Yi Yu and his team prepared to leave in their mechs. He suddenly found Bai Heguang staring intently at him, remaining silent for a long time.
¡°Ahem, um, do you have something you want to tell me, professor?¡±
Feeling ufortable under Bai Heguang¡¯s scrutiny, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°No, you did well this time.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, ¡°The Dual Sky Mech has a high operational cost that isn¡¯t within your means right now. I suggest you hand it directly over to the federation, they will provide an appropriatepensation.¡±
¡°Alright, thank you, professor.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in approval. Despite how excellent the Dual Sky Mech was, it needed a terrifying amount of energy, and the current energy systems within the Mechanical Engineering Department couldn¡¯t support it, so one could only use specific energy materials.
Although said materials could power up the Dual Sky Mech enough to fight against Legendary Creatures, Bai Qi felt they would be better used for cultivating his pets.
¡°Professor, when the timees, will I be able to participate in the research on the White Mech? If that¡¯s not possible, could I at least receive a copy of its rune structure?¡±
Bai Heguang hesitated for a moment before replying, ¡°Alright, your mastery of runes is at the level of some experts already. Your knowledge could help decipher some of the mysteries of the Dual Sky Mech.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s agreement, Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to inquire about the Demon ss, he was interrupted by Bai Heguang.
¡°You both have been out for quite a while, and I have some other matters to attend to shortly. I¡¯ll send you back to headquarters now.¡±
¡°Uh, alright.¡±
Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi exchanged nces. Their father (teacher) seemed overly busy, even a workhorse wouldn¡¯t be pushed this hard.
Once they returned to headquarters, they could look up some information on the Demon ss in the Tower of Knowledge. They could perhaps find some clues.
They should also investigate the little metallic ball.
Once they were ready, Bai Heguang took them straight to headquarters.
Bai Heguang obviously had some urgent matter at hand, for they returned much quicker than they hade, only taking half a day to get back to headquarters.
¡°I¡¯m going to report this matter about the Dual Sky Mech to the head. Both of you go to the assembly hall first.¡±
Bai Heguang directed the two toward the entrance of the grand hall before hurrying off to the Tower of Decision.
¡°At this hour, they should all be assembled. Shall we go grab something to eat first?¡±
For the past few days, they had merely survived on the meat of ferocious beasts. Although it was nutritionally sufficient, the taste was quite ordinary. Now that they were back, they ought to give their taste buds a treat.
¡°Sounds good, the Thunder Rat must be hungry too.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, already considering what to feed the Thunder Rat.
He really loved his pets.
The two went hand in hand to the cafeteria. Due to the current ss hours, there weren¡¯t many people in the cafeteria. Only a small number of members from the Six Towers were there, having a meal.
¡°Ma¡¯am, please give me ten orders of a hearty meal set, five orders of the Ice Wolf set, twenty orders of the colorful set, and fifteen orders of the vitality set, thank you.¡±
Bai Qi ced an extravagant order at the window to feed his four pets, their favorite meals to be exact, and he ordered several times more than usual.
Once the announcement about his second-stage rune evolution and the Spirit- Control Orb came out, he would have secured his financial freedom. Naturally, there would be no need for him to skimp and save.
Speaking of which, the Thirteenth Bureau had already set aside a piece of Mythical Material for him. The federation would likely trade the White Mech for another piece of Mythical Material as well.
He should give one of them to Delta in exchange for Space Material to ramp up herbat effectiveness. But he also hadn¡¯t imed Gamma¡¯s basic rewards yet. Skipping over Gamma seemed a bit inappropriate.
However, if both materials were assigned to Gamma and Delta, it would be too mundane,cking in excitement.
Looking at his four pets gorging themselves with food, Bai Qi remembered the previous incident between Husky and Gamma and a smirk appeared on his corner of the lips.
¡°Alpha, Schuck, Beta, Gamma, Delta, let¡¯s have an internalpetitionter, the winner will get first priority in the allocation of Mythical Resources-¡°
Chapter 215 - 211: Alpha VS Schuck Beta
Chapter 215: Chapter 211: Alpha VS Schuck Beta
Trantor: 549690339
Woof woof!
(Abattle within the team? My ws have been itching for it!)
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Schuck Beta immediately became interested, and Alpha turned slightly. He didn¡¯t speak, but the fiery Fire of Soul burning in his eyes clearly revealed his thoughts.
On the other hand, Gamma and Delta seemed unenthusiastic.
Thump thump.
(Gamma just evolved, so he¡¯ll sit out this one.)
Plip plop.
(I just arrived; I won¡¯t fight for it.)
Seeing his twin pets so sensible, Bai Qi nodded approvingly, yet his expression turned serious. ¡°Mutual yielding is good, but there must still bepetition.¡± ¡°Even though Gamma and Delta, neither of you have received your basic benefits yet, you should stillpete if you have to.¡±
¡°Healthypetition could better stimte mutual progress-¡±
Upon hearing his words, Gamma and Delta realized what he meant and developed some desire to fight.
Seeing not one of the four pets objected anymore, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He bid Bai Qiucha hello, then returned with his four pets to his portable sanctuary.
¡± Now, I¡¯ 11 announce the rounds of thepetition.¡±
At some point, Bai Qi had changed into a suit. He walked to the referees¡¯ point of the battle room and turned on the big screen.
¡°The first round, Resource contention group: Alpha VS Schuck Beta.¡±
¡°The second round, Base Benefits group: Gamma VS Delta.¡±
Pointing at the ns on the screen, Bai Qi asked, ¡°Any problems?¡±
Clink nk.
(I¡¯m fine with that.)
Howl howl!
(I wee allers.)
Thump thump.
(Gamma obeys the master.)
Plip plop.
(I will try my best.)
¡°Alright then, Alpha and Schuck Beta, you go prepare first. Gamma and Delta, also start preparing for the battle.¡±
On hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Alpha and the husky immediately entered the battlefield to prepare.
¡°Alpha, for this team battle, refrain from using The Sword of Death.¡±
Looking at the pets eager for battle, Bai Qi pondered for a moment before deciding to impose a restriction on Alpha.
Alpha was his main pet, so Bai Qi prioritized him for any enhancement materials, hence Alpha¡¯s overall strength far exceeded other pets like Schuck Beta. Besides, the Sword of Death transcended general super skills and was a transcendent skill.
If Alpha was allowed to fight at full strength, there was no point in continuing the fight.
Clink nk.
(No problem.)
Alpha nodded and instantly set the Sword of Death aside. Schuck Beta didn¡¯t make a fuss and willingly epted this arrangement.
As a group¡¯s internal data collector and researcher, no one knew the power of the Sword of Death better than them. The Sword of Death was insurmountable unless there was an equal or higher dual-level inhibiting force to counter it, making defense a mere formality.
Even without the transcendent skill, the Sword of Death, Alpha still had two other superskills, which made him extremely powerful.
Seeing that the pets were ready, Bai Qi immediately said: ¡°In that case, the first round of the Resource Contention match of Bai Qi¡¯s pet team, Alpha vs Schuck Beta, officially begins!¡±
Just as his words fell, Alpha made the first move. Anarchy Wings spread in the wind, the Gravity Sword swung as he flew fast towards the husky.
Although Alpha wasn¡¯t very reliant on the Gravity sword before and after getting the Sword of Death, it didn¡¯t mean the Gravity Sword was weak.
The Gravity Sword, as a super skill, was phenomenally destructive, but Alpha more often wielded the Withering Sword, which eventually became the Sword of Death.
However, now without the choice of the Sword of Death, Alpha slowly began developing the potential of his Gravity Sword.
A dull yellow light shed, Alpha¡¯s gravity directly reduced to the minimum, his flight speed abruptly increased and in an instant, he was above the husky. He heavily swung his sword downward.
Though this blow seemed ordinary, it gave a falling meteor¡¯s feel, evidently intensified by several times gravity.
Reducing gravity to increase speed, increasing gravity to enhance destructiveness, Gravity Amplification had a simple and crudebat style.
Boom!
Facing Alpha¡¯s surprise tactics, the husky covered himself with Etherium Liquid Gold toote to dodge, got hit directly by the Gravity sword, and immediately exploded.
Ka-pow, ka-pow.
(Beta¡¯s explosive power is getting stronger, I wonder what it tastes like¡)
Imitating Bai Qi, Gamma wiped a non-existent droplet of saliva from the corner of its mouth, wishing it could rush in and have a taste right then. Delta had a serious look on its face, watching the battle unfolding in the arena.
Blub, blub.
(They¡¯ve switched to self-exploding wolves so quickly. Schuck and Beta are fast. Can I dodge in time?)
As Delta said, the moment they were obscured by Etherium Liquid Gold, their original bodies had already left their previous location, leaving a high-quality replica of a self-exploding wolf behind.
However, such a close-range explosion still didn¡¯t injure Alpha. The Thunder me Power waspletely blocked by a thick Ice Crystal Barrier, while countless Wind des broke through the smoke created by the explosion, cutting towards the ground beneath the self-detonating wolf.
But, of course, the Husky wouldn¡¯t just foolishly wait for death toe. It had already distanced itself from Alpha the moment the self- detonating wolves exploded. Before the smoke could dissipate, countless rune-engraved cannons popped up around the battlefield, with even some floating turrets taking up positions in the sky above, all of them simultaneously locking onto Alpha in the center of the battlefield.
In an instant, a series of thunderous roars rang out in the arena as numerous Thunder me Powers bombarded Alpha,pletely enveloping him.
As a super skill of the Mechanical Engineering Department, the Mechanical Lord wasn¡¯t just capable of constructing various mechanical weapons. Due to the characteristics of Etherium Liquid Gold, it amplified all types of energy,bined with the destructive power of the Thunder me Power, it was a major weapon on the battlefield!
The Husky¡¯s covering attack didn¡¯tst long. A tornado tore through the blockage created by the Thunder me Power, countless sword des continuously shielding the Thunder me Power outside. Some of them even skillfully exploited the gaps in the Thunder me Power¡¯s attack, quickly heading towards the floating turrets and surroundingrge cannons.
However, it seemed that the Husky had already predicted Alpha¡¯s actions. The moment the storm of sword des began, all the floating turrets quickly retreated, and the originalrge cannons that provided continuous output altered to intermittent firing, suddenly changing their attack rhythm.
At the same time, several metal wolves burrowed out from under the ground, disregarding the concentrated cannon fire in the field, and rushed towards the storm of sword des.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under the concentrated attacks from the self-exploding wolves and the floating turrets, the rotational speed of Alpha¡¯s sword storm began to slow. Apart from the rotating metallic sword des, the originally violent tornado gradually disappeared.
¡°Using the explosion to change the surrounding air pressure and thereby disrupting the structure of the tornado?¡±
Seeing that the Husky actually used this method to break the sword storm, Bai Qi spontaneously gave it a thumbs-up.
Science is the primary productive force. This statement isn¡¯t wrong. Even using scientific methods to crack magical skills, this operation was full marks!
¡°But where the hell is he hiding?¡±
Due to the tornado being neutralized by the explosion, the power of the sword storm was halved, and some of Schuck and Beta¡¯s attacks hit Alpha.
However, Alpha was still under the tyranny of the storm of sword des and didn¡¯t sustain any damage. Instead, it slowly changed its shape, gradually turning into a spinning top filled with des, chopping all the self-exploding wolves attempting to pounce to shreds.
Subsequently, the spinning top that Alpha transformed into elerated again, quickly circling around the battlefield, destroying all the surroundingrge cannons. Another massive explosion was set off in the arena, even sting the ground beneath into nothingness, revealing the metal floor beneath.
Comparatively, Alpha stood unscathed like the God of War himself, bathing in this torrent of Thunder me Power.
In the initial face-off of the Twin Pets, Alpha clearly had the upper hand.
Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the metal behind Alpha. It was swift and silent like an agile assassin, lunging at Alpha¡¯s back. Its sharp ws, shining intimidatingly under the sun, were startlingly noticeable.
To their surprise, it was a werewolf made entirely of metal!
After Alpha started to evolve towards the Dragon form, it was finally the Husky¡¯s turn to level up its werewolf form.
The movements of the Husky in its werewolf form were much more agile. In the blink of an eye, its ws shimmering with red and blue energy hadnded on Alpha¡¯s back, instantly creating a crack in its solid Crystal bones.
Alpha, who was stealthily attacked, responded immediately. Countless sword des flew back and forcibly repelled the werewolf, directly changing direction to counter-attack the werewolf.
But the werewolf had obviously predicted Alpha¡¯s actions. A few leapster, it distanced itself from Alpha and vanished once again into the metal te. Ka-pow, ka-pow?
(Where did Beta and the others go? Gamma can¡¯t sense them anymore, the whole floor is filled with their scent.)
Blub, blub.
(They should be looking for a chance tounch a surprise attack, Alpha¡¯s front-facingbat power is too strong.)
Ka-pow, ka-pow!
(That¡¯s true, Alpha seems to have never lost in a head-on fight, Gamma can¡¯t do that, I can only take a beating slowly.)
Blub, blub!
(No, no, no, you¡¯re much stronger than me¡ I¡¯ve been dragging the team down and need to start working twice as hard.)
Ka-pow, ka-pow?
(Delta, you¡¯re not weak, Gamma feels terrible when I encounter Evil Energy me, you, Delta, you¡¯re not affected at all.)
Blub, blub¡
(No, no, no, you are¡)
Watching the two pets outside the arena start topete over who was weaker, Bai Qi was at a loss.
These two, one a chill foodie, the other modest and introspective, Bai Qi was skeptical about whether they would begin their fight with a debateter.
On the other hand, the other two had a very strong sense ofpetition, and were, in fact,peting over almost everything.
Even the current tactic of suddenly emerging from underground tounch a surprise attack, hadn¡¯t Alpha preferred this in the past?
Mutual learning, mutual promotion, these words were meant for these two.
Chapter 216 - 212: Awakening of Perception
Chapter 216: Chapter 212: Awakening of Perception
Trantor: 549690339
After the initial sessful ambush, Husky¡¯s attacks became increasingly cautious, refusing to rapidly engage with Alpha no matter how Alpha probed.
However, Alpha had no intention of continuing to wait. With a heavy stomp of his feet, countless bone spurts imbued with the power of shadows burst out from the metallic ground, instantly covering the whole area.
It was the Shadow Lotus Skill, a move Alpha hadn¡¯t used in a long time.
Forced by the Shadow Lotus Skill, the werewolf that Husky had turned into couldn¡¯t hide any longer. Bursting from the ground with an angry growl, the power of the Demonic Roar was immediately bestowed upon the werewolf, increasing both its speed and power simultaneously.
Subsequently, the werewolf skillfully evaded the surrounding bone spurs trying to catch it. It easily walked up to Alpha and initiated a series of attacks with its wolf ws, inly not intending to let Alpha swing his sword.
However, Alpha didn¡¯t back down. So he simply threw the Gravity Sword, controlling it along with other des to attack Husky, while his arms transformed into bone des and tangled with Husky.
Although Alpha was superior to Husky in both speed andbat experience, the werewolf that Husky had be could always predict Alpha¡¯s actions in advance. It acted on both offense and defense as if waiting for Alpha. Astonishingly, it wrested the initiative in the battle from Alpha.
Click, click.
Looking at the reborn werewolf in front of him, Alpha¡¯s aura began to slowly shift. His attack speed, which was already beyond the visual tracking capabilities, skyrocketed further. Bai Qi even felt as if Alpha¡¯s arms had disappeared.
After the closebat between both sides exchanged several dozens of moves, the flustered werewolf was eventually hit by the Gravity Sword. The sudden increase in weight took away its ability to counterattack, and it was directly targeted by numerous des from Alpha.
When faced with the sharp des that had locked onto its entire body, the werewolf gave up resisting with extremeposure. It surrendered and its figure began to twist incessantly, seemingly ready to revert to its original shape.
Just then, the werewolf suddenly exploded. The Etherium Liquid Gold engulfed all the des and the Gravity Sword, forcibly dragging them into the ground. But no trace of Husky could be seen anywhere.
This werewolf was merely a decoy body that Schuck Beta had created using Etherium Liquid Gold.
Alpha, sensing that he had been tricked, also felt somewhat surprised. He then instinctively swung his Bone de towards his rear.
Indeed, there was another werewolf behind him, but it was still not Husky. It, too, was a decoy body made of Etherium Liquid Gold. The Etherium Liquid Gold took advantage of the confusion to spread onto Alpha¡¯s body, gradually enveloping him.
When this happened, the Fire of Soul in Alpha¡¯s eye sockets surged. A rich aura of shadows spread out from the Crystal bones, constantly corroding the surrounding Etherium Liquid Gold. Simultaneously, Alpha¡¯s bones continuously grew and entangled, clearly signaling an attempt to break free with force.
At that moment, a red dot appeared on top of Alpha¡¯s head. Following the direction from where the red dot extended, one could see a two-headed wolf at the original location of a turret. The wolf was carrying a sniper rifle and aiming at them.
AwuAwu!
(Stinky Bone, I won-)
Beta, who had locked onto Alpha¡¯s only weak point, clearly seemed a bit smug. But Schuck was still very solemn, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be too arrogant, our attacks might not prate Alpha¡¯s skull defense.¡±
As the metronome who trained all four pets, it knew that Alpha had deliberately strengthened his skull¡¯s defenses. One of the runes Bai Qi had set up for Alpha was Fortitude.
If their attack couldn¡¯t break Alpha¡¯s defense, they, having exposed their position, would certainly end up being beaten up by Alpha.
After all, you can¡¯t expect a scientist to fight a professional warrior.
Woof Woof!
(No problem, Stinky Bone certainly won¡¯t be able to break free from our control.)
No sooner had he finished speaking than Alpha, who had initially been tightly restrained by the Etherium Liquid Gold, was suddenly enveloped by a shadow. His body appeared to turn into a shadow, and the Etherium Liquid Gold that had tightly wrapped him missed its mark.
Awu!
(Damn it! We¡¯ve been tricked by Stinky Bone!)
Upon seeing Alpha disappear, Beta instinctively sensed something wrong. Before it could even change its position, it felt a chill on the back of its neck. A bone de was already at its head.
Click, click.
(You lost.)
Beta turned its head to look at the cold-faced Alpha behind it. With its head drooped in apparent disappointment, Schuck quietly shook his head and said, ¡°We lost.¡±
p! p! p!¡
¡°Nicely done ¨C quite an exciting fight.¡±
As Bai Qi apuded, he smiled and looked at the twin pets, saying, ¡°You both did well. Alpha¡¯s fighting power and Schuck Beta¡¯s tactics are both worth learning from.¡±
Chomp chomp.
(Although Gamma didn¡¯t understand it, it seemed very powerful.)
Blub blub!
(Alpha¡¯sbat experience is very strong. Delta needs to learn from him.)
Gamma and Delta also agreed with Bai Qi¡¯sment. Although Alpha had held back some of his power, this small scale battle also couldn¡¯t bring out the advantage of the Mechanical Lord skills of Husky. So the fight could be considered more or less fair.
However, it was clear that Alpha was more skilled.
Alpha¡¯s ability to melt into the shadows by using the Shadow Lotus Skill was something Bai Qi hadn¡¯t thought of since Alpha had gradually changed his fighting style. But it turned out that Alpha hadn¡¯t forgotten it.
Indeed, he was born an assassin, he couldn¡¯t abandon his roots.
Awu¡
(My Mythical Material is gone¡)
Beta hung its head rather forlornly, appearingpletely despondent. Its previous transcendent state of mind, attained through chanting, was now entirely shattered, making it express a tone of a shattered heart.
Bai Qi patted the head of Husky andforted him, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be so downhearted. You performed well already. Keep trying next time.¡±
Schuck and Beta¡¯s performance was indeed marvelous. Whether it was their tactical arrangements or the closebat with Alpha, had it not been for Alpha¡¯s Speed Variation which was somewhat overpowered, they might have been able to hold on a little longer.
Moreover, the ability Beta showed in predicting in advance was indeed stunning.
Awu?
(Can¡¯t beat him now, let alone next time? Who knows how strong that stinky bone will be after eating another piece of mythical resource.)
Beta still wasn¡¯t relieved and ruthlessly exposed the harsh reality.
¡°That¡¯s true.¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly, although he hadn¡¯t figured out which aspects to strengthen Alpha, whatever it was, Alpha¡¯sbat power would skyrocket, making him even harder to beat.
¡°Well¡ In that case, let¡¯s do it this way, we¡¯ll take turns from now on. Alpha has already won the victory of the first round of resourcepetition, and can¡¯t participate in the following matches anymore, he can continue to participate only after the first round is fully over.¡±
His original intention of organizing this team internalpetition was just to give the pets some motivation for mutual promotion. He couldn¡¯t favor one pet over the other. Everyone would get what they deserved, it¡¯s just a matter of time.
Aside from the basic benefits for each pet, the resourcepetition would be divided into several rounds where the winner would automatically quit the current round.
¡°Such arrangement works.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s arrangement, Schuck nodded, while Beta¡¯s spirits immediately lifted, casting an ill-intentioned gaze towards Gamma and Delta.
If he couldn¡¯t beat that stinky bone, could he still not beat these two young ones?
Seeing Beta sessfully stepping out of the shadow, Bai Qi also smiled, suddenly remembering Beta¡¯s series of predictions, he asked, ¡°Beta, has your perception skill awakened?¡±
Awo?
(Awakened? When?)
¡°Nevermind, I¡¯ll check myself.¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, putting his hand on the Husky¡¯s head.

No wonder he dodged so timely, it turns out he sensed it earlier with Mind¡¯s Eye.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Gamma and Delta, saying: ¡°Next is you two, get ready.¡±
The twin pets nodded their heads, just about to enter the battlefield when they realized that the battlefield was already a mess, making properbat impossible.
¡°Cough cough, Alpha, get the Six Corpse to clean up the field.¡±
Rattle Rattle.
(Okay, boss.)
On Alpha¡¯s instruction, Six Corpse was immediately summoned. Being the actual creator of the base, Six Corpse immediately picked up various tools and began to repair the field expertly.
About half an hourter, the previously devastated battlefield was mostly restored. Although some facilities hadn¡¯t been repaired, it was enough forbat.
¡°This skill is excellent, if it weren¡¯t for the fear of scaling up, who in the Federation would be my opponent in infrastructure work!¡±
Bai Qi was very satisfied with Six Corpse¡¯s work. Watching the double-headed wolf pets, one by one, entering the battlefield, he said, ¡°Are you ready?¡±
Crack Pop Crack Pop!
(Gamma is ready!)
Throom Throom.
(Delta will try his best.)
¡°Alright, second round, basic welfare group: Gamma VS Delta. The match begins!¡±
Compared to Alpha and Husky¡¯s fierce attacks, the pace of Delta and Gamma¡¯s fight was obviously slower.
Because Savage Charge was his only means of attack, Delta didn¡¯t rush to attack, but cautiously circled around Gamma, looking for opportunities.
Gamma, on the other hand, was only too happy to oblige, unfolding Deadly Poison Aura, Energy Absorption Aura, and his newly mastered Sacrificial Aura one by one.
After the green, red, and dark tri-colored aura unfolded, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed instantly. A hot, odd-smelling wind gradually drifted towards Bai Qi and the others.
Woof Woof!
(Poisonous gas? When did Gamma start releasing poisonous gas?)
Beta was the first to detect the problem and immediately stopped breathing. Bai Qi, on the other hand, immediately grabbed the Green Dragon Scale and expelled the poisonous gas.
¡°Could it be that the toxins from Deadly Poison Aura were baked by the Sacrificial Aura into poisonous gas? This attack range has directly upgraded from t to spatial.¡±
Chapter 217 - 213: Future Planning
Chapter 217: Chapter 213: Future nning
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi received the poison-proof mask made of Etherium Liquid Gold from the Husky¡¯s hand, thought for a moment, and retreated to the observation room, sealing off the battle room. Once he had confirmed that no poisonous gas had seeped out, he began to watch the fight with peace of mind.
With the spread of the poisonous gas, the battle room quickly turned into a green space, and it was bing even more concentrated.
As one might imagine, in this sealed environment, the longer the time dragged on, the higher the concentration of toxins would be, and the worse off Gamma¡¯s opponent would be.
However, Delta was an exception.
As the toxins around him became more concentrated, an evolution light indeed came up on Delta, and he quickly turned into a ck cat with purple ws.
[Name]: Fierce Poison Cat King
[Attribute]: Poison Type
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: A creature living in the heavily poisonous swamp,pletely ck, extremely agile, and once it catches an opportunity, it will attack the enemy with its poisonous ws.
After evolving into the Fierce Poison Cat King, Delta was no longer affected by these toxins. He elerated directly to Gamma¡¯s front and then started a series of vigorous tearing. Gamma, full of magic resist points but with rags for physical resist, was immediately split into countless fragments by Delta¡¯s continuous assault.
These fragments did not idle afternding, they all activated the three auras, and surrounded Delta in the center.
Seeing this scene, Delta remained calm. He threw Gamma up high from his hand, then jumped and dashed directly onto the opponent.
Crunch!
A breaking sound rang out. Always unfazed by impacts, Gamma only felt a strong impact force flowing through its body, and its initially bright and glossy body resembling an Emerald suddenly dulled.
¡°Indeed, even Gamma can¡¯t defend against the Power of Space,¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly seeing this. The Space Department was different from other sses, and there was no basic restraining theory. On the contrary, it could restrain most other sses.
The only exception could be the rarer Temporal department.
However, given the rarity of those skills, especially the attack ones, it was virtually impossible to encounter them.
But Gamma¡¯s condition onlysted for a moment. A sh of green light passed, and Gamma¡¯s status returned to normal. At the same time, it actively opened its body and swallowed Delta.
¡°Did Gamma just use Life Energy Conversion?¡±
Seeing Gamma¡¯s status change, Bai Qi instantly reacted, and Schuck next to him responded: ¡°Gamma consumed a lot of energy just then, it should have been converted into life force.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, he hadn¡¯t taught Gamma the tactics of the Perpetual Motion Machine, but Gamma obviously assimted them itself, already using it.
Because of being wrapped by Gamma, the three auras fell on Delta one after into, the effects of Deadly Poison, Bloodsucking, and Burning took effect one by one, and Delta¡¯s status worsened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Fierce Poison Cat King immunity to most toxins, but it can¡¯t stand Gamma¡¯s good appetite, it eats anything, directly leading to aplex Deadly
Poison Aura.
In simple terms, the Deadly Poison Aura that Gamma emits is a mixed poison, general detox methods would have hard time detoxifying it, not to mention facing the damage from bloodsucking and burning simultaneously.
Bloop Bloop!
Feeling the unusual sensations from his body, Delta didn¡¯t have any intention to give up. He gave up resisting, retreated to the Ancestral Beast¡¯s form, then let the three types of energy enter his body.
Sure enough, after being burnt by the Sacrificial me, Delta¡¯s body suddenly erged, turning back into the form of the Furious Guardian again.
¡°Damn, it evolved into a demon ss again?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s heart shivered at the sight. The Furious Guardian was indeed very strong, even without skills, but the sight of Delta going mad after the event made Bai Qi quite wary.
Though he regained consciousness with Beta¡¯s Great Compassion Mantra, who knows if they could have had a bad influence on Delta.
Demons, no matter where, are a race very adept at eroding.
But after evolving into the Furious Guardian, Deltapletely ignored Gamma¡¯s three auras. His gigantic body forcibly broke Gamma¡¯s body and regained his freedom.
After that, Delta threw Gamma out and began a series of airbos. Cracks in space spread like a spider web, even the walls around the battle room were affected.
¡°Beta, can you sense Delta¡¯s current status?¡±
Watching Delta, who was ferociously attacking Gamma like a mad demon, Bai Qi was a bit worried. Even after trying to sense something through the contract, he still wasn¡¯t reassured. He turned his head and asked Beta.
Woof woof!
(I can sense a bit, it hasn¡¯t lost control likest time.)
¡°In that case, all is well,¡±
Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and continued to watch the battle.
With the robust physique of the demon ss as a supplement, Delta¡¯s frail space attributes were also enhanced to the extreme. Completely ignoring the various elemental resistances of Gamma, every punch caused quite a bit of damage.
Not only that, the Evil Energy me would asionally sh on the Furious Guardian¡¯s body, indicating that he had also absorbed some energy from Gamma and converted it to his benefit.
However, it was clear that Delta, an ipletely evolved demon ss, was no match for Gamma in terms of energy absorption.
Gamma, facing Delta¡¯s brutal attack, had exemplified the tactic of counterattack defense, even retracting the ineffective Deadly Poison Aura and Sacrificial Aura against Delta, releasing the Bloodsucking Aura to its full capacity, and using Life Energy Conversion, it kept replenishing its life force.
Energy ¨C Life force ¨C Energy¡
The Beast Control Version Perpetual Motion Machine formally started operating.
Awooo¡
(Humans, when are they going to stop fighting¡) Beta yawned a bit bored as he watched the two pets whosebat rhythm never changed.
Although it was less than ten minutes since the fight had started,pared to his and Alpha¡¯s fight, the way the two pets fought was rather dull, with a first- rate effect for causing sleep.
¡°It should be over soon.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, looking somewhat regretfully at Delta, whose body was gradually beginning to glow with a dark red Degeneration Light.
The demon ss was indeed strong, but Delta¡¯s own evolutionary limits were there. Once Gamma had dragged it into a drawn-out battle, the oue was already set.
Indeed, after a sustained offense, Degeneration Light glowed on Delta, who reverted to his Ancestral Beast form and fell t on the ground,pletely unable to move.
The Furious Guardian¡¯s bloodline level had surpassed his own, energy consumption was massive, and he had to suppress the violent consciousness in his Furious Guardian¡¯s bloodline. Keeping up for this long could already be considered as giving his all.
But despite this, he was still unable to breach Gamma¡¯s defense, or rather, he simply couldn¡¯t match Gamma¡¯s surpassingly robust Perpetual Motion Machine tactic.
He was now incapable of moving his body even a little, unlike Gamma, who still appeared lively and robust as if he hadn¡¯t been in the fight at all.
Gulp Gulp¡
(I concede¡)
Hearing Delta concede defeat, Bai Qi nodded slightly, and said, ¡°In that case, I dere that in the second match, the Basic Welfare Group, Gamma VS Delta,
Gamma wins!¡±
Kerplunk kerplunk.
(Delta, are you alright?)
Gamma withdrew its Energy Absorption Aura, slithered over to the exhausted Delta, put one of its parts on Delta, and started to transfer energy value and life force.
With Gamma¡¯s help, Delta¡¯s state of exhaustion was immediately relieved, and slowly, he was able to stand up again.
¡°Very good, very good, Gamma can now officially take a dual role as supporter.¡±
Watching Delta gradually recover under Gamma¡¯s help, a brighter smile appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face.
Gamma could initially absorb some negative energy, and now it has a new capability to divert energy and life force, it won¡¯t be able to escape its supporting role.
¡°Once we go back and integrate that piece of material, its supporting ability should be even stronger, and its defense should improve a little.
Thinking about that piece of material that he had coveted for a long time, Bai Qi had high hopes for Gamma¡¯s future role.
With an unkible defender and supporter pet protecting him, his safety as a Beast Master should be guaranteed from now on.
Bai Qi called the four pets to him and looked at each one of them, who had all gained a lot, and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Indeed, appropriate intra-teampetition not only promoted theirpetitive spirit but also revealed the defects and deficiencies unique to each pet.
Alpha had strong overallbat power and,bined with its strong responsiveness, could handle just about any sudden situation. However, its ranged attack was rtively weak. If the battle had been held outdoors without field restrictions, it might not have caught the Husky so quickly.
After all, no sniper would get that close to their target.
So, Alpha¡¯s next enhancement should mainly consider long-range attack methods.
Thebat power and adaptability of Schuck and Beta were also strong. If put on a battlefield, they would definitely shine. But the attack methods of their mechanical weapons were still a bit too single, relying mostly on artillery fire, or using Etherium Liquid Gold to mimic closebat or self-detonation. Considering the two consciousnesses of Schuck and Beta, there were two options for enhancing theirbat mode. Either they could improve Schuck¡¯s mechanical weapons by adding some special creations, or they could strengthen Beta¡¯s psychic attacks, which would also take advantage of the advantage of psychic mutation.
Gamma, on the other hand, was simpler. Gamma¡¯s top priority was tobine a wide range of resistances and to increase physical defense a bit. As for attack methods, Bai Qi was already very content with the three aura skills.
Data, on the other hand, should seize the opportunity to awaken the Savage Charge and get a super offensive skill out.
A single move could be strong enough to take on the world.
Delta¡¯sbat power relied on the properties of the Ancestral Beast¡¯s native state. The higher the attributes it had, the stronger thebat power would be after evolution. Paired with space skills, it was bound to be stunning. Theoretically, Delta and Gamma were the same, one could endlessly stack resistances, and the other could endlessly stack basic attributes. Both had very high limits. And his job as a Beast Master was just to speed up this umtion process.

Bai Qi was content after nning the future direction for his four pets. He left the secret realm and returned to the cafeteria.
The recent battle had consumed a lot of strength from his pets, and they urgently needed to replenish their energy.
¡°Auntie, I will have the same meal as before,¡± he ordered.
As he spoke, Bai Qi felt countless gazes gathered on him. When he turned his head, he discovered that the cafeteria was filled with trainee students.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re back?¡±
Zhou Yan looked surprised, asking, ¡°Weren¡¯t you with Bai Chuanqi when you left?¡±
¡°I returned this morning and wanted toe here to eat.¡±
¡°Where is Cha? Didn¡¯t see him around.¡±
Xiao Yuan walked over to Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you two always together?¡±
¡°Cha probably went back to rest.¡±
The two battles fought by the four pets were time-consuming, so Cha must have eaten and left earlier.
¡°Let¡¯s forget about Cha. You¡¯ve been gone for a week, Bai Qi. Your previous challenge has been invalidated, so ept my duel now.¡±
Zhou Yan had learned her lesson fromst time. The moment she saw Bai Qi, she initiated a score challenge through the badge system.
¡°Wait. What do you mean by ¡®invalid¡¯?¡±
Bai Qi felt a wave of uneasiness rising in his heart as though he had an idea of what wasing.
¡°If a challenge recipient purposely evades the fight, they¡¯re deemed to have forfeited. Their corresponding points would be automatically deducted.¡±
Lu Qing pushed up her sses and said, ¡°Because of you, the three of us essentially took an extra training course. So, thank you.¡±
Evade the fight? He was forced to leave!!!
Bai Qi took out his badge. Upon seeing the deducted 1500 points, his heart ached.
These bastards! They maximized their points when issuing challenges!
Looking at an eager Zhou Yan and others, Bai Qi determinedly said, ¡°Come on!
Who¡¯s next? Anyone who wants to challenge me step up!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll pass. You guys go ahead.¡±
Lu Qing took her meal tray from the auntie and walked straight to the side. Xiao Yuan, sensing something, said, ¡°We¡¯re not in a rush. Let Zhou Yan go first.¡±
¡°It just so happens that I will take all three rounds against Bai Qi.¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s eyes lit up. She directly issued three consecutive challenges to Bai Qi, choosing the highest score of 500 points each time.
¡°Don¡¯t say that the Big Boss is bullying you. You can choose the fighting method and location.¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Bai Qi nodded. After seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s fifth rank, a smile appeared on his face.
¡°Then, I will return the favor with an invitation, challenging you too -¡±
That afternoon.
The assembly hall.
After tending to the Explosive Thunder Rat and taking a rest, Bai Qiucha arrived early at the assembly hall.
Although his week of outdoor training brought some harvest, he had also missed many sses and needed to make up for them asap.
¡°Huh? Xiao Yan, why are you so early today? And you¡¯re studying?!¡±
Walking into the assembly hall, Bai Qiucha was startled to find someone studying there, and it was Zhou Yan, who usually despised theoretical courses the most.
¡°Don¡¯t disturb me. I¡¯ve even given up on challenges¡¡±
Zhou Yan¡¯s response left Bai Qiucha even more confused. Had Zhou Yan, indeed, changed and started loving to study?
¡°Stop asking. Someone arrogantly challenged a junior to gain points, only to end up getting farmed instead. She¡¯s now in seclusion. Ignore her.¡±
Just then, Lu Qing walked in from outside, mercilessly exposing Zhou Yan¡¯s wound. The group behind her, including Xiao Yuan and Li Mu, wore strange looks on their faces, not knowing whether to sympathize orugh.
¡°Lu Qing! Can¡¯t you stop exposing people?!¡±
Hearing Lu Qing¡¯s words, Zhou Yan could no longer hold back. With bared teeth, she was about to rush to silence Lu Qing, but seeing a cheerful Bai Qi entering the hall, she ran back to her book.
Who knew what she had gone through. The Bai Qi who she thought was a pushover defeated her in both individual and teambat. Even his newly signed four pets beat her four pets.
If it were Xiao Yuan or Bai Qiucha, she could ept it, but being defeated by Bai Qi, a junior who was only a Second Stage when he first joined the training, left Zhou Yan somewhat shocked.
Seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s state, Bai Qiucha had a realization and went to Xiao Yuan, asking, ¡°Bro Yuan, could Xiao Yan have¡¡±
Xiao Yuan shrugged, looking at Bai Qi, who was excitedly counting his points, ¡°I now finally understand why Bai Chuanqi took Bai Qi as his disciple. This terrifying growth rate, tsk¡¡±
As a witness to the six fights, he knew clearly that Bai Qi didn¡¯t defeat Zhou Yan through luck but through aprehensive dominance inbat prowess and tactics.
Not to mention anything else, as a die-hard fan of endurance fights, Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t im for sure that he could defeat Bai Qi¡¯s weird slime monster.
Three light skills, when stacked together, were indeed terrifying.
Seeing the disy of Xiao Yuan¡¯s abilities, Bai Qiucha did not find it too surprising amidst her astonishment.
She did not wish toment on Bai Qi¡¯s other pets, but she was certain that no one could match Alpha, who wielded the Sword of Death, within the same stage.
Well¡ perhaps the Skeleton Dragon with its Spirit Master ability could, but if Bai Qi were to summon his other pets, she wasn¡¯t so sure anymore.
Soon enough, the other trainees arrived at the assembly hall, their gazes upon Bai Qi subtly shifting away.
In the little over a week that Bai Qi was missing, Zhou Yan boosted her own point score to fifth ce through the points battle, bing invincible to challenges from others. Otherwise, it was estimated that Zhou Yan would have wiped out the points of over half the training ss.
Yet now, Zhou Yan, a challenge maniac, had been silenced and rendered socially withdrawn by Bai Qi, which was profoundly shocking to the rest of the trainees.
It had been less than two months since Bai Qi rose from the Second Stage to the Four Stage, beating a veteran Four Stage like Zhou Yan on his way. Was this even possible for a human being?
It turned out their headmaster was right to remind them to stay low-key when pursuing their studies. There were too many prodigious students, and anyone who dared to call them geniuses after they returned home would face their wrath!
Compared with Bai Qi, they were merely worth as much as junk when they boasted to be geniuses.
With this thought, every trainee took a seat and began to revise their previous work.
Walking into the room from outside, Luo Xiang watched the zealous students with a start. But when he saw Ba Qi among them, he understood.
¡°You guys arrived pretty early today, so let¡¯s get started early.¡±
For once, Luo Xiang didn¡¯t tease or create any mischief. He even delivered a slew of dry goods, and the students were more than happy to concentrate on their studies.
They had given up trying to deal with Bai Qi directly, and now they hoped to outpace him in other aspects.
The half-day passed quickly, and amid the students¡¯ lingering gazes, Luo Xiang ended today¡¯s ss.
¡°That¡¯s all for today. We will remember to digest everything at home.¡±
Knowing that he had assigned a lot of work today, Luo Xiang kindly reminded them, then turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi,e with me. The headmaster wants to see you.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, figuring that the headmaster wanted to discuss the Spirit- Control Orb and the White Meeh.
Wondering what kind ofpensation he would receive?
Bai Qi followed Luo Xiang to the Tower of Decision. Unlike the organized setting of the Holy Relic Tower or the bloodlesspetition in the Tower of Competition, the Tower of Decision appeared deserted. As Bai Qi ascended, he hardly encountered anyone.
¡°Here we are.¡±
Before long, Luo Xiang led Bai Qi to a spacious hall where the White Meeh stood tall in the center.
¡°Here you are.¡±
Upon seeing the two of them, Zhao Futu, who was closely examining the White Meeh, turned around. Looking at Bai Qi, he chuckled, ¡°You really don¡¯t fit in with the traditional way of studying. You¡¯ve only been out twice, but each time you manage to stir things up.¡±
¡°Cough, cough, well, it was just a coincidence.¡±
With an embarrassed grin, Bai Qi knew he couldn¡¯t allow his leader to think him a troublemaker. That would lead to rocky days ahead.
¡°Yes, indeed. So Headmaster, after Bai Qipletes his training, why don¡¯t you hand him directly to me? I promise not to dy his progress.¡±
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiang immediately sidled up to Zhao Futu and said this seriously.
¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking. Bai Qi is still a student and should focus on his studies. You can stop trying to find a way to ck off.¡±
With a light smile, Zhao Futu ignored Luo Xiang¡¯s request. Approaching Bai Qi, he said, ¡°Heguang told me just now, this White Meeh is what you chose, right?¡±
¡°You made a good choice. Compared to offensive mechs, helper ones like the White Meeh have more research value.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. He chose the White Meeh for the same reason.
¡°I¡¯ve notified the Tower of Knowledge. They will send someone to research it soon. You should go with them, Bai Qi. After all, you found it, so you should participate.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll tell Lan Ke that the resources of the Tower of Knowledge will be temporarily open to you to help your research.¡±
¡°Okay, President.¡±
With a gleeful agreement, Bai Qi¡¯s worries about whether his authority could ess the Demon ss¡¯s information were resolved before he knew it.
¡°Oh yes, President, this White Meeh¡¡±
Bai Qi hadn¡¯t forgotten the main point. He gestured toward the White Meeh, rubbing his fingers unconsciously.
Seeing this, Zhao Futu couldn¡¯t help butugh aloud. ¡°You¡¯re not at all like Heguang¡¯s apprentice. Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t be short-changed. After all, the White Meeh is already a legendary weapon.¡±
¡°Go to the Holy Relic Tower and find Xiang Li for a self-chosen mythical resource.¡±
¡°Thankyou, President!¡±
Upon hearing that Zhao Futu was granting him a mythical resource, Bai Qi immediately broke into a wide grin, thanking him profusely.
¡°Oh yes, you¡¯re not going to the outside for the moment. Try to tame the Legendary Giant Dragon as soon as possible. A legendary creature without an owner is prone to causing trouble.¡±
Patting Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, Zhao Futu said, ¡°Take a couple of days off ss and help me tame this dragon as soon as possible.¡±
Gazing at the smiling Zhao Futu, Bai Qi instinctively retracted his neck but obediently nodded, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll find it right away.¡±
Hailed as one who took others¡¯ short hands and softly fed on their mouth, he had just taken a favor and couldn¡¯t afford to coast along.

Trantor: 549690339 |
Seeing Bai Qi being so sensible, Zhao Futu was quite pleased.
These days, young people who were talented and willing to work were bing rarer. They wondered when they, the old men, would be able to retire.
¡°By the way, I heard you¡¯ve concocted something called a Spirit-Control Orb? Can I see it?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, took out a Spirit-Control Orb, and handed it to Zhao Futu.
Zhao Futu took the Orb and gave it a brief look before smiling, ¡°You certainly have ideas, which is characteristic of young people. Unfortunately, Gaia¡¯s will has not appeared for many years. Otherwise, your Spirit-Control Orb might have be mainstream.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, ¡°The Chairman thinks too much of me. Without a Soul Contract, a beast and its Beast Master cannot grow together. The limit is still too low.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t agree. Everything needs time to mature. What if one day you invent a device that aids evolution?¡±
Zhao Futu clearly had good expectations for Bai Qi. He said, ¡°Even if it doesn¡¯t work, your research would be a blessing for the talentless.¡±
¡°I heard from Heguang that Yi Yu from the Thirteenth Bureau has approached you for cooperation? That¡¯s not bad. With the Federation¡¯s backing, poprizing it would indeed be easier.¡±
At this, Zhao Futu¡¯s face broke into a strange smile, ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit early, let me congratte you in advance on bing the youngest top tycoon in the Federation.¡±
¡°Thank you for your support, Chairman. When the timees, I¡¯ll still have to rely on the Association¡¯s help.¡±
Bai Qi cracked a smile and silently roped the Association into his camp.
With the dual support of the Federation and the Association, the poprity of the Spirit-Control Orb could not be stopped. Even if it were to be given to Beast Masters for free, he would still need to get his small cut.
¡°Alright, you must be busy with your duties. You cane to me directly if there is something that the Association can help with.¡±
Having chatted leisurely with Bai Qi for a bit, Zhao Futu indicated to Bai Qi that he could leave now. The two did not linger and left in their own directions.
As soon as he walked out of the Tower of Decision, Luo Xiang gave Bai Qi a thumbs up, praising him, ¡°Not bad, you actually managed toe up with a contract method independent of Rune Marks. And it¡¯s a mechanical creation too. If Bai Chuanqi hadn¡¯t been faster, I bet Mechanical Legend would absolutely havee to take you on as his apprentice.¡±
¡°Ahem, I don¡¯t think it should have gone that far.¡±
Bai Qi gave an embarrassedugh, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, ¡°By the way, Instructor Luo, I heard there was a conflict between Mechanical Legend and Teacher? I didn¡¯t notice itst time we met them?¡± Luo Xiang said, ¡°A conflict? There is, in a way. After all, one is a Federation Titled Legendary, and one is a Association Titled Legendary. It wouldn¡¯t be right if there were no conflicts.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in understanding. Even Titled Legendaries can¡¯t act as they wish.
But there is indeed some bad blood between the Bai Chuanqi and Wang Chuanqi. You know how Bai Chuanqi is ¨C he¡¯s very earnest. As for Wang Chuanqi¡¡±
An admiration flickered in Luo Xiang¡¯s eyes, ¡°Wang Chuanqi is ofmon birth, but his talent in Mechanical Engineering is unprecedented. Both Snare and Starry Sky Gate had his participation. His rate of progress is even faster than Bai Chuanqi¡¯s.¡±
But it¡¯s precisely because of this unconventional talent that Wang Chuanqi doesn¡¯t take things too seriously and often likes to do things that don¡¯t conform to standards. His character is diametrically opposed to Bai Chuanqi¡¯s.¡± So that¡¯s how it was. No wonder his teacher looked the way he did when he saw him making mechanical modifications to Alpha.
Bai Qi nodded slightly in understanding. Meanwhile, Luo Xiang continued speaking with a regretful expression:
¡°Had I not filled in the wrong aspiration and gone into the Rune Department, perhaps I would be a mechanic by now.¡±
The wrong aspiration?
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly, ¡°Instructor Luo, are you serious?¡±
¡°Absolutely.¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, ¡°Butter I realized I had no talent for mechanics and didn¡¯t care anymore.¡±
Bai Qi finally figured it out. Thank goodness this big brother had no talent for mechanics, or who knew what he would havee up with.
¡°It¡¯s gettingte. You should go deal with that Legendary Giant Dragon. I¡¯ll inform Zhang Shan.¡±
Looking at the sky, Luo Xiang said, ¡°If you encounter any troubles, you can seek some help from Old Lady Fan. She has some understanding ofmunicating with beasts.¡±
¡°Alright, thanks Instructor Luo.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, then activated the mini tower pendant and arrived in the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Nichs was carefully watering the nts in the Jade Valley with arge watering can, looking just like a farming dragon.
Seeing Bai Qi appear, Nichs immediately threw the watering can to the side and teleported next to Bai Qi, asking, ¡°Hmm? Bai Qi, you¡¯re finally here! Where¡¯s Delta?!¡±
Shouldn¡¯t you inquire about me, your only human friend, first?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth twitched as he looked disgustedly at Nichs.
¡°Aren¡¯t you doing well? You have more vitality than before. You won¡¯t die any time soon.¡± ¡¯
Nichs gave Bai Qi a nce and then began looking for Delta.
¡°After such a long time apart, can Delta already evolve into a Jade Young Dragon now?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not that simple, but I think I¡¯ve found Delta¡¯s method of evolution.¡±
Nichs¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this, ¡°Hurry up, then. Let¡¯s get Delta to evolve sooner.¡±
With that, Nichs moved closer to Bai Qi. Hisrge eyes stared at Bai Qi expectantly, the implications clear.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately summoned Delta. Nichs moved closer and asked, ¡°Why does he look a bit thin? His vitality also seems somewhat impaired, um¡and what¡¯s with that peculiar energy?¡±
Nichs immediately noticed the anomaly in Delta. He promptly sent out a breath of Jade Dragon¡¯s Breath. Delta¡¯s condition instantly returned to optimal and he evolved into a creature of the Jade Dragon lineage.
After Delta¡¯s evolution, Nichs¡¯s eyes toward Delta became more affectionate. He promptly plucked a heap of fruits from a nearby tree and ced them in front of Delta, indicating that she could help herself.
Seeing Nichs care and fuss over Delta the way an old father would over a long-lost son, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh.
This guy must have a fatherhood fixation, right? He seemed quite interested in Alpha back then too¡
Well, that worked out fine. From now on, he could happily mooch off this guy rightfully. If he could also score some high-level supplement seeds and bring them back, he¡¯d be entirely self-sufficient.
*cough, cough¡*
Bai Qi coughed softly, drawing Nichs¡¯s attention, and said, ¡°Actually, I came here this time to discuss something with you.¡±
You have something to discuss with this dragon?¡±
Nichs lifted his head in bewilderment, then suddenly eximed, ¡°Are you nning to leave Delta here permanently?¡±
What are you thinking about? If I give you Delta, what will I use to fight others?¡±
Although Delta¡¯s fighting style was not yet fully formed, it was promising. Under no circumstances would he leave Delta here. It would be more suitable to take Nichs along.
¡°So what¡¯s the matter? Do you have another pet that needs to evolve?¡± Nichs looked curiously at Bai Qi and said, ¡°With the Green Dragon scales, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems, right?¡±
¡°Not that, it¡¯s about the human matters I discussed with you before.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, finally revealing the true purpose of his visit.
¡°Humans outside?¡±
Upon hearing this, Nichs¡¯s face changed and he started to avoid eye contact, This dragon already has contact with you, isn¡¯t that enough?¡±
Bai Qi sighed and said, ¡°I can¡¯t stay here forever. After a while, I¡¯ll return to
Gusu City. By then, no one will be able to find you.¡±
You¡¯re leaving? Where to? This dragon will move the Secret Realm.¡±
As soon as Nichs heard that Bai Qi was leaving, he stood up without hesitation and made a decision.
*cough, cough, there¡¯s no need to bother, and I¡¯m not leaving at the moment.¡± Seeing this, Bai Qi smiled lightly and said, ¡°But now that humans are aware of your existence, and you¡¯ve promised to negotiate with them, it¡¯s not good to dy. After all, no one wants to have a Legendary Giant Dragon wandering around their home.¡±
Having heard Bai Qi¡¯s words, Nichs still couldn¡¯t help but hesitate. He looked troubled and said, ¡°But this dragon doesn¡¯t interact with others much besides you, what if¡¡±
Seeing Nichs wavering, Bai Qi seized the opportunity and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re a Legendary Giant Dragon, you don¡¯t have to talk to everyone. If you don¡¯t know how to respond, just hum. Besides, out there, you can encounter all sorts of flora and fauna, and even watch more games TV dramas¡¡±
As Bai Qi listed the benefits one by one, Nichs began to waver, but still couldn¡¯t decide.
¡°But, this dragon still doesn¡¯t want to interact with too many humans. Mother said there are many bad people among them.¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback by this, then he remembered what Luo Xiang had said to him, ¡°What about interacting with beast? I know a ce where all beasts live. Look, Delta also came from there.¡±
¡°Delta too?¡±
Upon hearing this, Nichs finally seemed moved. He looked at Delta.
*Stomach rumbling*
(That¡¯s right. And Old Lady Fan is kind to us.)
¡°Okay then, this dragon will go with you to check it out, but this dragon wants to visit that ce first.¡±
Nichs hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind.
¡°That can be arranged!¡±
Seeing Nichs loosen up, Bai Qi immediately agreed, ¡°You first transform into a humanoid form. I¡¯ll take you around the training ground. If that works out, I¡¯ll take you to meet the president.¡±
He finished the president¡¯s mission in a few minutes. Shouldn¡¯t he go find the president for some reward or something?
A legendary resource would do.
After deciding to leave, Nichs took a deep breath, a jade green light shed around his body, and his body suddenly shrunk. He quickly transformed into an attractive young man.
The only issue was his long green hair, which was rather conspicuous.
Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, ¡°Can you change your hair color?¡±
¡°Change the color? But it¡¯s beautiful, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Nichs looked at his green hair in confusion, ¡°Are green things not well- received among your humans?¡±
¡°No, no they are. It¡¯s good. Very good.¡±
Bai Qi quickly shook his head. To have a sessful dragon life, one must have some green.
With all this green, wouldn¡¯t Nichs¡¯s dragon life be ready to take off?

Chapter 220: Chapter 216: The Timid Dragon Falls in Love
Trantor: 549690339
After confirming that he looked no different from a normal human, Nichs¡¯s fear of humans seemed to have eased slightly, even showing some enthusiasm.
¡°Let¡¯s go, show me your human world.¡±
Nichs opened the portal, and was the first to crawl out of the Secret Realm. Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately followed him.
Because it was Nichs who opened it, the exit portal was set to appear at the Lakeside of Songyue Building.
Nichs¡¯s unusual appearance instantly attracted the attention of many people. After seeing his handsome face, many young girls even attempted to ask for his contact details.
¡°Let¡¯s go, we have important things to handle.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately pulled Nichs away, quickly escaping from the clutches of his female fans, and set off for the Six Tower.
Stepping into the human world for the first time, Nichs was curious about everything, food, entertainment, culture¡
Everything here waspletely different from the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
For this reason, Nichs had gradually decreased his fear of humans unconsciously, but he still did not dare to approach areas packed with human activity.
¡°How about we head straight to the training field? It¡¯ste, Old Lady Fan might be mad if we arrive toote.¡±
The thought of how Old Lady Fan snatched him away just because he didn¡¯t collect his benefits on time made Bai Qi shudder.
He hoped that Old Lady Fan¡¯s prototype wasn¡¯t a sleepy species which sleeps as soon as it gets dark. Otherwise, he was doomed.
¡°Alright.¡±
Even though Nichs wanted to continue observing the human world, he was more interested in seeing Delta¡¯s previous home.
ording to Delta, there were many Ancestral Beasts there. Perhaps some Jade Dragons could evolve from there?
With a clear goal in mind, they sped towards it and quickly arrived at Old Lady Fan¡¯s wooden hut.
Looking at the tightly closed door of the wooden hut, Bai Qi suddenly cringed. He summoned Delta and said, ¡°Delta, you can knock.¡±
Lulu?
Delta looked at Bai Qi with a puzzled expression, but obediently went up and bumped into the door. Soon, Old Lady Fan, dressed in ancient clothes, came out.
¡°Hm? Why has this little guye back?¡±
Seeing Delta knocking, Old Lady Fan slightly frowned, then noticed Bai Qi not far away and a chilly aura suddenly dispersed.
¡°Bai Qi, are you here to return this little fellow too?¡±
The voice of Old Lady Fan was as cold as ice, her silver vertical eyes staring intensely at Bai Qi. Bai Qi felt a chill run down his spine, as if he was being watched by a ferocious ancient beast.
What a horrifying pressure!
Seeing that Old Lady Fan misunderstood his reason foring, Bai Qi quickly raised his left hand and said, ¡°You misunderstood, grandma. I just brought Delta to look around and also I have something to discuss with you.¡±
Lulu Lulu!
(Grandma, master did not lie to you!)
Hearing Delta¡¯s exnation, Old Lady Fan finally relented her pressure. Then, she looked Delta up and down with a surprised look in her eyes.
¡°You¡¯re much stronger than before, it seems like you¡¯ve indeed put in a lot of effort in training, not bad.¡±
Old Lady Fan nodded in approval, then waved her finger, and Delta floated up in front of her.
¡°It seems like you have developed some Space Attributes? Are you nning to keep him on the Space Department track?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s the n at the moment, but I don¡¯t know if Delta can hold on.¡±
Old Lady Fan heard this and nodded slightly, then put down Delta, and looked at Nichs standing aside and said, ¡°What about the other matter? Is it concerning this little fellow?¡±
Bai Qi replied, ¡°Yes, this is the Legendary Giant Dragon that we found by the Lakeside of Songyue Building. The chairman asked me to find a ce for him. I thought about it, and none of the ces seemed quite suitable, so I could only trouble you, grandma.¡±
The truth was, Chairman Zhao Futu hadn¡¯t said this, but as long as Nichs stayed at the association¡¯s headquarters, any small lie that allowed this to happen wouldn¡¯t bother Zhao Futu.
¡°A Legendary Giant Dragon? It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen one in the headquarters. Heyd, what¡¯s your name?¡±
Old Lady Fan nced at Nichs and asked loudly, but Nichs seemed unresponsive for some reason.
¡°Hey, you should at least respond to Old Lady Fan. She is also a legendary creature.¡±
Seeing that Nichs didn¡¯t respond, Bai Qi quickly turned his head to remind him, but he noticed that Nichs¡¯s eyes were hazy, his cheeks flushed, clearly a sign of excessive hormonal release.
Was he actually in his teenage years?
Bai Qi followed Nichs¡¯s gaze and the target was indeed the anciently- dressed Old Lady Fan.
¡°Ahem, Nichs, greet her first!¡±
Bai Qi vigorously shook Nichs, and Nichs finally came to his senses. Looking at the elegant Old Lady Fan in front of him, he took a step forward. ¡°Beautifuldy, could I invite you to be this dragon¡¯s girlfriend?¡±
Bai Qi:
Old Lady Fan:
After a long silence, Old Lady Fan turned her head towards Bai Qi and asked, ¡°Is this guy here to make a fool of me?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi quickly waved his hands, saying, ¡°Not at all, not at all. He grew up in the secret realm and has not seen much of the world. Don¡¯t mind what he says.¡±
Old Lady Fan nodded slightly, her expression softened a bit. However, Nichs, seemingly oblivious to his current predicament, twinkled in front of Old Lady Fan, gently grasping her right hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.
¡°My beautifuldy, if I hadn¡¯t met you, I could bear loneliness. After meeting you, I really don¡¯t want to be alone. Not even for a moment. I just want to be with you forever¡ Bang!¡±
Sweet nothings continuously spilled from Nichs¡¯ mouth, giving Bai Qi goosebumps. Just before Nichs could finish his words, Old Lady Fan sent him flying with a kick.
¡°Did you teach him to say all that?¡±
Old Lady Fan looked at Bai Qi with a dangerous re, Bai Qi shaking his head rapidly, at the same time increasing the distance between him and Nichs to show he wasn¡¯t familiar with him.
Old Lady Fan¡¯s kick was incredibly powerful, and Nichs, who had just mastered the method of transformation, was sent flying back into his original form by this kick.
Even so, Nichs still had a look of infatuation when he looked at Old Lady Fan. He dusted off the footprint on his body and then rushed back.
¡°Miss, didn¡¯t I hurt your foot just now? I¡¯vebeen very restrained.¡±
Hearing Nichs¡¯s words, Bai Qi was dumbfounded and began to question whether his decision to bring this guy out had been correct.
He was originally an image of a clear-hearted dragon cultivating in solitude. Now he had turned into a stooge, ah no, stoogedragon.
Hopefully, Old Lady Fan could understand the thoughts of such a young dragon in puberty and not take things to heart.
However, Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts were too naive; seeing Nichs¡¯s persistent manner made Old Lady Fan¡¯s aura gradually grow colder. Her silver hair swept about even with no wind, and her body began to transform.
Then, much to Bai Qi¡¯s surprise, Old Lady Fan turned into a massive silver-whit Eastern Giant Dragon, coiling in front of Nichs, grabbed him with a w and threw him directly into the hut.
¡°Let me discipline this guy. You wait outside for a bit.¡±
Old Lady Fan nced at Bai Qi and shed into the hut.
¡°Er, Delta, Nichs won¡¯t be beaten to death, right?¡±
Bloop Bloop.
(It shouldn¡¯t happen. There have been other unruly pets that have upset Granny, but they behaved soon enough.)
¡°That¡¯s good, since we are all Legendary Giant Dragons, there should be some respect.¡±
Bloop Bloop.
(But, he might get half-beaten to death.)
Just as Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, Delta¡¯s following words made Bai Qi¡¯s heart rise again, and then he saw a huge figure flying out of the hut¡ªit was Nichs.
Well, you should say swollen Nichs.
Nichs was now full of bruises, and his originally handsome dragon head was swollen beyond recognition. Looking from a distance, there was no trace of the Dragon¡¯s majesty. He looked more like a pig dragon.
¡°Er, Nichs, are you okay?¡±
¡°This (the) Dragon did not (didn¡¯t) die¡¡±
Nichs muttered a few words, but Bai Qi couldn¡¯ t understand what he was saying. Just then, Old Lady Fan changed back into her human form and walked out from the hut. Looking at Nichs, who was shaking involuntarily, she said, ¡°This little dragon is not bad. It¡¯s perfect as a farmer for those brats. Tell Zhao Futu, I¡¯ll take this guy.¡±
Upon hearing Old Lady Fan¡¯s words, Nichs waspletely shaken and kept sending Bai Qi pleading looks.
Wingless Dragon, they were supposed to be extinct! White Qi, you deceived me again!
¡°Er, if the olddy likes him, then it¡¯s for the best. If there¡¯s nothing else, can I go?¡±
However, Bai Qi chose to ignore Nichs¡¯s plea and intended to leave directly.
¡°Wait a minute.¡±
Just then, Old Lady Fan suddenly called for Bai Qi. With a wave of her hand, the GDragon Secret Realm¡¯s pendant appeared in her hand.
¡°It¡¯s a bit old, but well preserved. This little guy¡¯s mother¡¯s strength could rival mine back in the day.¡±
After examining the pendant, Old Lady Fan gestured towards the void. Bai Qi only felt a slight fluctuation, before everything returned to normal.
¡°I¡¯ve moved your secret realm here, you can live inside it as usual. But remember to clock in every day. I feel like eating some vegetablestely. Your Green Dragon¡¯s talent mighte in handy.¡±
After finishing her words, Old Lady Fan picked up Delta and started moving towards the hut.
¡°I¡¯ll keep this little guy here for a few days. I¡¯ll return him to youter.¡±
¡°Alright, you can do as you like, Madam.¡±
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, showing no sign of resistance.
Being able to move my secret realm from so far away, is this power really of a mythical level?
Seeing Bai Qi behave this way, Nichs looked contemptuous.
Who was the one saying earlier he couldn¡¯t leave Delta?
Where¡¯s your integrity? Where¡¯s your dignity?
Are you bullying this dragon because he¡¯s easy-going?

Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi watched Old Lady Fan return to the cabin and finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He had not expected the Association to be harboring an Eastern Giant Dragon, a creature they believed to be extinct.
But thinking about it, only the Dragon Race could suppress so many peculiar creatures.
No joke, the oppressive power of the Eastern Giant Dragon was truly immense. ¡°Nichs, you¡¯re already out, might as well take you around¡ Nichs?¡± Bai Qi turned towards Nichs to find him cautiously retreating. He was muttering something as well.
¡°Wingless Eastern Dragons¡ my mother was right. The world outside is dangerous. I should go back into hiding¡¡±
Hearing Nichs¡¯s words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. He shattered Nichs¡¯s final illusion, saying, ¡°Stop running, your secret realm has been moved over by Old Lady Fan. Where can you run?¡±
¡°I, the dragon, shall simply run away from¡¡±
Nichs wanted to argue when he saw Bai Qi¡¯s contemptuous look but immediately shut his mouth upon recalling the legendary creatures guarded by the Six Towers¡¯ Lord.
He had barely traveled any distance and he had already encountered so many legendary creatures. Who knows how many more there were in other ces. Realizing that he might get beaten up by a swarm of legendary monsters, Nichs suddenly felt proceeding with Old Lady Fan¡¯s gardening work isn¡¯t such a bad idea?
Instead of risking his life exploring, he thought staying behind and assisting Old Lady Fan with her gardening doesn¡¯t sound bad?
After all, the growing was the same wherever he went. There wasn¡¯t much difference.
In Bai Qi¡¯s incredulous gaze, Nichs quickly adjusted himself mentally. His dim and listless mood turned around dramatically.
¡°Bai Qi, I have seen on TV, Eastern Dragons prefer a vegetarian diet. Do you know any vegetarian dishes that Old Lady Fan likes? I want to prepare for it in advance.¡±
Looking at Nichs, who was squeezing his brains out for inspiration, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
This dude had actually ovee his fear of the Eastern Dragon. Suddenly, he understood why some bootlickers from his previous life could pull off surprising stunts.
Love indeed blinds people.
Watching Nichs, who was mumbling and walking back into the cabin, Bai Qi didn¡¯t bother to talk to him anymore. He looked up at the sky that had nearly darkened and headed towards his dormitory.
He originally nned to go to the Holy Relic Tower to exchange for the mythical-level resources, but at thatte hour, the Six Towers were generally not open to the public, so he¡¯d have to go again the next day.
¡°First, consult with Schuck Beta on the matter of increasing the variety of weapons, and then proceed to modify the Spirit-Control Orb. Ahh¡I¡¯m so busy.¡±
The next day, Bai Qi got up early and headed to the Holy Relic Tower.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. Since President Qin had allowed him to skip ss for a few days, he figured it was better to exchange that mythical material as soon as possible.
As for the credits needed? He¡¯d rob them!
¡°Bai Qi?¡±
Just as he entered the area of the Six Towers, he heard a familiar voice behind him. Turning around, he saw the President Qin and Professor Dong, whom he hadn¡¯t seen for a long time.
¡°President Qin? Professor Dong? What brings you here?¡±
Bai Qj walked up to them with a look of confusion and asked.
Professor Dong gave a little chuckle, saying, ¡°Didn¡¯t you find a Dual Sky Meeh prototype from the Era of Law Emperor? The Association has temporarily formed a research team to decipher its rune structure, and I was invited to participate.¡±
¡°The Dual Sky Meeh is a pinnacle invention of the rune civilization during the Era of the Law Emperor. If we can figure out the principle behind it, it would be of great help to the Federation¡¯s development.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and then looked at President Qin, asking, ¡°Then why are you here, President Qin? I didn¡¯t know you are skilled with runes?¡±
Hearing this, President Qin humorlessly punched Bai Qi on the head, answering, ¡°I¡¯m the president of a branch of the Beast Master Association. Do I need a reason toe to headquarters?!¡±
¡°No, no.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head somberly. President Qin then exined further, ¡°The White Meeh you found is known for its support capabilities. I am one of the top support masters in the Federation, so I was called over too.¡±
Realizing this, Bai Qi was surprised by the importance of the Dual Sky Meeh. It was only brought back yesterday, and today it had brought President Qin and Professor Dong together.
That made sense. While a strong offense was important, a qualified support might give the team an even greater boost.
¡± By the way, I saw your name on the list of researchers analyzing the White Meeh. Seems like you have learned a lot during the training,¡± Professor Dong said, looking pleased. If Bai Qi¡¯s research on rune evolution was a fluke, then his inclusion in the research team for the White Meeh project was a recognition of his professionalism.
¡°Hmph¡If it wasn¡¯t for yours truly recognizing a diamond in the rough, this kid would likely still be ying in the dirt.¡±
Hearing Professor Dong¡¯s praise, President Qin puffed out his chest proudly, clearly very pleased with his decision to bring Bai Qi into the Association. Seeing this, Bai Qi didn¡¯t argue and smiled slightly.
Indeed, if President Qin hadn¡¯t pulled him into the Association and rmended him for special training, he might still be worrying about buying supplements, let alone reaping benefits at present.
By the way, I heard from Heguang that you made some new breakthroughs in Rune Evolution. Have you found a way to evolve a lord into a king-level creature?¡±
After boasting about himself for a while, President Qin finally remembered the main subject and asked.
¡°Mr. President, aren¡¯t you expecting too much from me¡¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch his eye at the question. If he could find a way for a Lord-level creature to directly evolve into a King-level, not just the association, but probably the entire Federation would treat him like a treasure. Disappointed by Bai Qi¡¯s response, President Qin quickly recovered his mood. Since he met Bai Qi, he had been given many surprises, so he inadvertently regarded Bai Qi as a versatile genius. But on second thought, he may have been expecting too much.
Bai Qi was still young after all, a few more years of experience might do the trick.
¡°But, I did figure out how to achieve the second stage of rune evolution, although I haven¡¯t had time to conduct an actual experiment.¡±
As soon as these words were uttered, President Qin was stunned, and Professor Dong, one of the main members of the Rune Evolution Special Team, was the first to react, asking, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re talking about the second stage evolution?¡±
Since the press conference, the Rune Department and the Undead Department had devoted a lot of resources to studying rune evolution, and had indeed discovered various runebinations for different bloodline levels.
But they found out that undead creatures that used rune evolution had difficulty progressing further, and the regr evolution methods weren¡¯t applicable anymore.
In simple terms, rune evolution was a one-time use product. Though it reduced the difficulty of the immediate evolution, further evolution became more problematic.
So, the issue of future evolution of the rune-evolved creatures was a major problem for the special team.
However, ording to Bai Qi, had he made a breakthrough again?
¡°Bai Qi, are you sure you didn¡¯t misunderstand? The method of the second stage evolution is not the same as the two evolution ns. There¡¯s a big difference between them.¡±
President Qin also reacted and asked Bai Qi again, but his eyes were filled with a trace of expectation.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Bai Qi nodded and exined his discoveries in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm to them.
¡°Rune structuring, ve Contract, Spirit Power storage device¡¡±
After briefly pondering, Professor Dong was certain that Bai Qi¡¯s method was indeed feasible, but still asked cautiously, ¡°Can I have a look at those test subjects you mentioned before?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and summoned the Six Corpse. Professor Dong immediately went over for a closer look.
¡°I see, you¡¯ve used the rune structure of the ancient ve contract to link the pet¡¯s body and spirit, and trigger the second stage evolution through Spirit Power. Our previous research indeed overlooked this.¡±
Professor Dong nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Qi and said, ¡°But what surprised me even more is that you were able to invent a device that can store Spirit Power. That¡¯s a function only found in treasures.¡±
Bai Qi smiled and replied, ¡°Well, I have no other choice. I couldn¡¯t possibly make a treasure as a mechanical warfare student.¡±
Right, this guy was a mechanical warfare student. They almost forgot.
President Qin and Professor Dong looked at each other. Bai Qi¡¯s achievements in beast cultivation and rune research far exceeded his peers and even some seniors, but they forgot that Bai Qi was just a mechanical warfare student.
¡°I will share the team¡¯s research findings with youter. See if they can help with the perfection of the second stage of rune evolution.¡±
After a pause, Professor Dong chuckled, ¡°Once the experiment is sessful, you¡¯ll be a Rune Master, Bai Qi, in the true sense.¡±
¡°You¡¯re overpraising me, Professor Dong. I just stumbled upon it. I can¡¯t be considered a master.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°Mr. President, Professor Dong, why don¡¯t you go take care of your business first? I¡¯lle find youter?¡±
President Qin asked, ¡°What, is your training session starting so soon?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°No, President Zhaopensated me with a mythical level resource. I n to exchange it to strengthen my pets.¡± ¡°Mythical level resource?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, President Qin looked at him enviously. Even though he was more senior than Bai Qi, mythical level resources were not something easily acquired.
The younger generation nowadays really has it good.
As President Qin sighed, he looked at Bai Qi and eximed when he saw the four Rune Marks on Bai Qi¡¯s hand, ¡°Bai Qi, are you already at the fourth stage?¡± ¡°Yeah, I just leveled up not too long ago.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and President Qin, now sure, immediately rushed at him, asking, ¡°What did you contract with for your fourth pet? You didn¡¯t get some kind of mutant species somewhere, did you?¡±
¡°How is that possible? Mutant species aren¡¯t cabbages. I can¡¯t just contract one whenever I want.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, ¡°My fourth pet is a Lord-level creature gifted by the Special Cultivation Program, which I have already received.¡±
¡°The one gifted? That¡¯s good.¡±
President Qin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it was given by the association, it was fine. Old Lady Fan would at least give some advice, which was better than Bai Qi randomly contracting creatures on his own.
¡°By the way, what pet did you contract with?¡±
¡°Um, an Ancestral Beast that can¡¯t evolve.¡±
¡°Bai Qi!!!¡±
Chapter 222 - 218: Phoenix Feather
Chapter 222: Chapter 218: Phoenix Feather
Trantor: 549690339 |
Seeing President Qin¡¯s furious look, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but shrink his neck and continued, ¡°But I¡¯ve found a solution; it won¡¯t be any worse than the evolving pattern of a typical Ancestral Beast.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, President Qin¡¯s face finally improved a bit, but he still asked uncertainly.
¡°Really, but we¡¯ll have to wait for a while to see the results.¡±
Bai Qi informed President Qin about hisck of space materials. President Qin slightly nodded and said, ¡°Materials rted to the Space Department are indeed scarcer than those of other departments, but if it¡¯s genuinely how you described, it¡¯ll be worth the price.¡±
¡°So, you¡¯re nning to exchange for Space Department materials at the Holy Relic Tower?¡±
¡°Not necessarily, we¡¯ll see what¡¯s avable first. After all, there are several Mythical Materials that I also want.¡±
President Qin: ¡°¡¡±
Are young people these days all so ruthless?
President Qin sighed, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m acquainted with Xiang Li from the Holy Relic Tower. I¡¯ll go with you, and maybe I can help you make decisions.¡± ¡°Great, it¡¯s wonderful if you cane along, President.¡±
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Even though Zhao Futu had spoken out, having someone familiar like President Qin might help him get ess to more areas with Mythical Resources for selection?
After all, he had already determined the resources for Gamma, but he hadn¡¯t entirely decided on Alpha¡¯s yet.
¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll check in at The Tower of Knowledge first. Don¡¯t forget the time, Lao Qin.¡±
Seeing this, Professor Dong smiled and walked towards The Tower of Knowledge, while Bai Qi and President Qin headed for the Holy Relic Tower.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a troublemaker. In just one month, you¡¯ve covered the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm and the Law Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, and even tricked a Legendary Giant Dragon intoing out¡¡±
After hearing about Bai Qi¡¯s experiences over these days, President Qin seemed a bit annoyed, but the smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.
Although Bai Qi made a lot of trouble, it resulted in actual achievements.
Who else in the Federation, like Bai Qi, has researched and made achievements in multiple fields such as pet cultivation, runes, and machinery?
The most critical point was that this all-around genius was one that he personally uncovered from a group of young people.
¡°I didn¡¯t want it either, but President Zhao always likes to throw me out. I have no choice.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Although the rewards from a few trips outside were quite significant, he would prefer to diligently earn points and secure first ce to exchange for a few Mythical Resourcesfortably.
After all, once the intensive training was over, he wouldn¡¯t have the opportunity to take advantage of the Federation anymore.
¡°Lao Qin, why are you here?¡±
At that moment, Xiang Li suddenly appeared in front of them and heartily greeted President Qin, who greeting him back with a smile, ¡°Lao Li, long time no see!¡±
They really were familiar with each other. In that case, the matter of opening up a few more areas for his selection should be settled.
¡°You still look like a brat after all this time- ¡±
¡°Unlike you, who¡¯s aged so much in such a short time.¡±
Just when Bai Qi thought everything was steady, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two dropped suddenly. It transitioned from old friends meeting to two archenemies slinging insults.
Looking at the two bickering like two old men, Bai Qi silently distanced himself from President Qin, acting like he didn¡¯t know him.
Given this trend, it would be good if they didn¡¯t deduct his resources, let alone giving him any preferential treatment.
Fortunately, the two stopped their squabble after a while, ended with a friendly punch to each other, and then turned their attention to Bai Qi, asking, ¡°Bai Qi, are you here to exchange for Mythical Resources?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Mythical Resources are in high demand, so it¡¯s safer to secure them sooner.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡that¡¯s true. Back then, someone missed many resources they wanted because they were too slow and went crazy.¡±
On hearing this, Xiang Liughed heartily, while President Qin looked disgruntled.
It was evident that the person Xiang Li referred to was President Qin.
¡°I¡¯m free today, and it¡¯s rare for Lao Qin to be back at the headquarters, so I¡¯ll join you in the selection.¡±
Xiang Li paused and asked, ¡°Do you have any specific ideas?¡±
Bai Qi thought for a moment and said, ¡°Originally, I was interested in the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, but if there are suitable materials for the Undead Department, that would be fine too. My main pet currentlycks a powerful long-range attack.¡±
¡°Light Spirit Holy Diamond? I don¡¯t remember you having contracted any support pets?¡±
President Qin was taken aback. He was well aware of Bai Qi¡¯s four pets. Apart from the Ancestral Beast, which had potential to develop in that direction, the other three hardly had anything to do with support.
And the Light Spirit Holy Diamond was mostly used to cultivate creatures of the light attribute, mostly support types. He had used it for his Light Elf before. ¡°Can I just say that I didn¡¯t expect it to develop in this direction?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly. When he found out that Gamma needed a light resistance tobine all resistances into elemental resistance, he had considered the Light Spirit Holy Diamond. After Gamma was upgraded to the Lord Level and sessfully gained the perpetual motion talent, he was even more certain of choosing the Light Spirit Holy Diamond.
Though perpetual motion was excellent, it was quite strenuous on the body. Adding a light ability to it would make it more stable.
After all, thebination of a Light Shepherd and a Shadow Shepherd was also quite good.
¡°Let¡¯s go to my office first, Bai Qi. Summon your pet so we can take a look.¡±
Xiang Li seemed particrly patient today. He led them directly to his office. Without hesitation, Bai Qi summoned Gamma.
Rumble Rumble?
(Master, do you need me, Gamma? I¡¯m still hungry.)
Gamma, in the middle of breakfast, swallowed the food that she¡¯d been halfway through eating, quickly digesting it into PURE nutrients. Then, she affectionately nuzzled Bai Qi.
¡°We¡¯re choosing materials to upgrade you. You can eatter.¡±
As Bai Qi cradled Gamma in his arms, he said, ¡°This is the pet I¡¯m nning to use the Light Spirit Holy Diamond on.¡±
¡°A slime-beast? But wait, the bloodline level is a Lord Level?¡±
Xiang Li looked at Gamma in Bai Qi¡¯s hand, surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected a slime-beast to evolve to a Lord Level.
¡°Ahem, it is a mutant species so it¡¯s a bit unique.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, letting the two know about Gamma¡¯s situation and her energy diversion skill.
¡± I see. A physical mutation and energy diversion. If you can also add a Holy Light Series ability, it could indeed serve as a support creature,¡± Xiang Li nodded, understanding Bai Qi¡¯s n. He added, ¡°However, thepatibility between the Light series and Alien series isn¡¯t good, so be prepared for failure.¡± ¡°I understand, but I still want to try.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. With the Evolution Egg, even if their attributes shed, he could still forcibly use it. The effectiveness might not be optimum though.
¡°Wait. Has your slime-beast been exposed to any contamination recently?¡±
At that moment, President Qin noticed something. He summoned the Light Elf to circle around Gamma and his expression changed immediately.
¡°Why is there Evil Power in your slime-beast?¡±
When President Qin voiced his concern, Xiang Li¡¯s expression also changed. After examining Gamma closely, he detected the anomaly too.
¡°Um, a few days ago at the Law Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, it got identally smudged during a battle with the ck Sky Meeh. Gamma¡¯s upgrade is because of that.¡±
Seeing their serious expressions, Bai Qi hastily exined the origin of the Evil Power. However, their expressions did not rx.
¡°The ck Sky Meeh actually uses Evil Power as energy? That exins it.¡±
President Qin fell silent for a moment, examined Gamma again, and said, ¡°If your pet has indeed been exposed to Evil Power, then I have to tell you, it¡¯s impossible for it to acquire Holy Light Series attributes.¡±
¡°The sh of Evil Power and Holy Light attributes is even more severe than with the shadow attribute. If you forcibly merge the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, you¡¯ll only cause irreversible damage to your pet.¡±
I see.
When Bai Qi heard this, he got an idea. In his mind, he started contemting another material.
If the attributes would conflict, then he would have to wait till after the special training to exchange the Light Spirit Holy Diamond.
¡± I also suggest that you choose another material, Bai Qi. With the Alien Series and Evil Power, the Light Spirit Holy Diamond causes too much conflict with your pet.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, took back Gamma, and resummoned Alpha. ¡°Then let¡¯s choose a material for the Undead Series for now.¡±
¡°Is this the Wilting Dragon Lord? The new evolved one?¡±
Seeing Alpha appear, Xiang Li became interested. He took a closer look, and said, ¡°It seems a bit different from what I saw before. Hmm? Is this the Power of Death?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. ¡°Sir, you took me to train to control the Power of Death a few days ago.¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiang Li understood. He looked at Alpha thoughtfully for a while before saying, ¡°Actually, you should ask your teacher about this. After all, in terms of undead cultivation, no one in the Federation is more professional than him. But since you asked, I do have a suggestion.¡±
With this, he opened hisputer, swiftly operating to pull up some information on the screen.
[Name]: Phoenix Feather
[Level]: Mythical Level
[Description]: Fire attribute material. Rumored to be a feather that fell from the mythic phoenix. Its life is endless, its me unquenchable, and opposite too.
¡°Phoenix?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Was there actually a Phoenix in this ce?
¡°Yes, a Phoenix.¡±
Xiang Li nodded. ¡°The Phoenix¡¯s fire is pure and noble, but being a creature that wanders between life and death, its feather doesn¡¯t harm undead creatures.¡±
¡°However, the Phoenix Feather contains a very strong fire attribute energy. If it is not paired appropriately with a corresponding secondary material, it¡¯s likely to explode during the fusion process, making it highly dangerous.¡±
¡°Since your pet can control the Power of Death, you don¡¯t have to worry about the me in the Phoenix Feather getting out of control during the fusion. It¡¯s tailor-made for you.¡±
After hearing Xiang Li¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes gleamed, and he made his decision without hesitation.
TH take this one!¡±
Chapter 223 - 219: Recognition from the Holy Relic Tower
Chapter 223: Chapter 219: Recognition from the Holy Relic Tower
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing Bai Qi make a decision, Xiang Li nodded slightly. He spread his palm, and a transparent crystal box containing a red feather appeared in Xiang Li¡¯s hand.
As the master of the Holy Relic Tower, Xiang Li had absolute control over everything within the tower. Fetchingaresource was just a thought¡¯s matter for him.
¡°When you get back, look up the evolution n for the Phoenix Feather in the Tower of Knowledge. Make sure to neutralize the me of the Phoenix Feather first, otherwise, it might harm your pet beast,¡± Xiang Li gave Bai Qi the Phoenix Feather, reminding him.
¡°Alright, I understand.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, putting away the Phoenix Feather.
The Evolution Egg had no stress in merging with a Phoenix, a creature that existed between life and death. The form was too troublesome.
¡°Now that you have picked the resources, let¡¯s go to the Tower of Knowledge.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi had chosen his resources, President Qin nned to leave with him.
¡°Is it for the White Meeh? Good, let¡¯s go together.¡±
Xiang Li smiled and said, ¡°Although I¡¯m not on the list, I consider myself a member of this group and should be able to help.¡±
¡°Master Xiang is also involved in the research? The association seems to really care about the Dual Sky Meeh.¡±
Bai Qi looked at Xiang Li with a bit of surprise.
As the master of the Holy Relic Tower, Xiang Li¡¯s forte wasn¡¯t managing resources, but repairing all sorts of special and peculiar treasures.
In other words, Xiang Li was an expert in runes, and of the highest level at that.
¡°The design of the Dual Sky Meeh was personally handled by the Law Emperor. The prototype he made is rumored to havebat powerparable to top-tier legendary creatures and is a product of the peak of the rune civilization at its time. It¡¯s not an exaggeration to call it a moving treasure.¡±
¡°Although the one you found, Bai Qi, wasn¡¯t made by the Law Emperor himself, it still holds great reference value. If we can fully research it, it would mean a lot to the future development of mankind.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in agreement. When he fought the ck Sky Meeh, it disyed incredible adaptability and reaction speed. It even seemed more powerfulpared to Hasi, who was controlled by an intelligent brain and assisted by Etherium Liquid Gold.
The key point was that the form Bai Qi defeated was only a level fivebat power form, but the Dual Sky Meeh was known to have legendarybat power.
With this, Xiang Li sighed with a bit of regret, ¡°It¡¯s unfortunate that we couldn¡¯t get both of the Dual Sky Meehs at once. We could have reaped more benefits. The association was somewhat hasty in exchanging the Twin Towers for the exploration rights of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm with the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
Upon hearing this, President Qin shook his head,
¡°I don¡¯t think so. If the Twin Towers weren¡¯t possibly rted to the Law Emperor, the Thirteenth Bureau wouldn¡¯t have agreed to this trade. Besides, the association has also reaped quite a bit from the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±
Xiang Li nodded, then turned to look at Bai Qi andughed, ¡°Speaking of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, I heard from the president that you¡¯ve researched the second stage of rune evolution from ancient runes?¡±
How does it feel like the whole world knows¡
Bai Qi scratched his head, ¡°Not exactly. After all, there hasn¡¯t been any physical experiment yet.¡±
Unlike the unexpected product, the Spirit-Control Orb, the research of the main event, the second stage of rune evolution, had been put off. After all, the Six Corpse had alreadypleted the second stage of evolution and offered no reference value. There were no skeletal creatures for Bai Qi to experiment with in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, so it had been dyed until now.
¡°That¡¯s just as well. Let¡¯s experiment here.¡±
Xiang Li pped his hands, and the space around the three people changed instantly, bringing them directly before a gloomy square. All over, various types of skeletal creatures were visible.
¡°These are all skeletal creatures bred by the Holy Relic Tower. They are used for experiments or ground into materials. Feel free to use them.¡±
Xiang Li pointed to the countless skeletal creatures in front of them, indicating Bai Qi could help himself. Without any hesitation, Bai Qi summoned Alpha to grab him a Skeleton Soldier, the lowest-level creature.
Despite being the founder of rune evolution, the number of experiments Bai Qi had performed could be counted on one hand. Hence, this time he still picked the Skeleton Soldier, the creature he was most familiar with.
¡°Alpha, perform the first-stage rune evolution first; then, prepare for the second stage.¡±
Crack crack.
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded and skillfully carved a shadow rune on the Skeleton Soldier, simultaneously injecting energy. Another hidden spike evolved instantly. ¡°Although I¡¯ve tried it myself before, it¡¯s hard to believe this was researched by a young man. I feel old¡¡±
Xiang Li sighed, while President Qin on the side was all smiles.
¡°I maybe old, but there¡¯s a sessor now, isn¡¯t there?¡±
As the discoverer of Bai Qi, the higher Bai Qi¡¯s achievements, the better President Qin¡¯s mood. Although asionally Bai Qi¡¯s independent decisions cause some rise in his blood pressure, on the whole, President Qin is quite pleased with Bai Qi.
¡°True.¡±
Xiang Li smiled. Although Yi Xiaowei wasn¡¯t as outstanding as Bai Qi, his performance was rather good, and he could inherit the Holy Relic Tower in the future without any surprises.
After the evolution of the Shadow Bone Spike waspleted, Alpha, following the original design of the Dark Armor Dead Body, carved aplete Rune Structure on the Shadow Bone Spike¡¯s body. Xiang Li and President Qin stopped chatting and watched Alpha¡¯s operation.
Soon, the carving was finished by Alpha. Bai Qi immediately took out arge Spirit Power storage device, and after a little thought, pushed it in front of Xiang Li, saying: ¡°Master Xiang, this Skeleton Soldier belongs to the property of the Holy Relic Tower. You might as wellplete this final step.¡±
Although the Spirit-Control Orb proved that the Spirit Power storage device won¡¯t form a contract between the Spirit Power provider and the beast, this was the first time for the second stage of Rune Evolution. And it would have been a pity not to utilize a Legendary Beast Master like Xiang Li.
¡°Alright.¡±
Xiang Li, who was very interested in the second stage of Rune Evolution, immediately agreed to Bai Qi¡¯s request. He injected his Spirit Power bit by bit until it was full, and then under Bai Qi¡¯s guidance made contact with the Rune Mark on Shadow Bone Spike¡¯s forehead with the output port of the Spirit Power.
With the Spirit Power being injected bit by bit, the Rune Structure on the Shadow Bone Spike was gradually activated. When the entire structure was fully activated, the Spirit Power within the Spirit Power storage device had been consumed by arge extent.
Indeed, the consumption of Spirit Power through mechanical conduction was higher than direct conduction. He had already set double the storage based on the feedback from Alpha, but it nearly wasn¡¯t enough.
He needed to improve the conduction structure of the Spirit Power storage device. The joint of Rune and circuit system should also be redesigned.
Just as Bai Qi was recording the improvement n for the Spirit Power storage device, Xiang Li pulled out a Shadow Department Energy Crystal and ced it in the hands of the Shadow Bone Spike. The Shadow Bone Spike¡¯s body finally lit up with a dazzling Evolutionary Light, and its figure slowly changed, eventually evolving into a creaturepletely enveloped in shadows.
¡°Shadow Bone Spike? Not Dark Armor Dead Body?¡±
Seeing the evolutionary form of the Shadow Bone Spike, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.
The Rune used by this Skeleton Soldier was exactly the same as the one used by the Dark Armor Dead Body. The only difference was the provider of Spirit Power. He hadn¡¯t expected the evolved form to be totally different.
Was it because they made a contract with Alpha?
Bai Qi looked at Alpha and fell into deep thought, while Xiang Li and President Qin concentrated all their attention on the Shadow Bone Spike before them.
¡°The evolution at the Servant Level doesn¡¯t involve soul evolution, so it only requires pure energy enhancement. But starting from the Elite Level, the evolution of beasts also requires Spirit Power. However, the soul of a creature that has undergone Rune Evolution hasn¡¯t improved, so it can¡¯t progress to the next stage of evolution.¡±
Having witnessed the second stage of Rune Evolution, Xiang Li¡¯s eyes were filled with research enthusiasm. He said, ¡°But you used the Rune Structure as a guide, used external Spirit Power to direct energy to the soul causing soul co-evolution. It¡¯s really surprising that you thought of this.¡±
Xiang Li patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Kid, your invention will definitely make history.¡±
As one of the six highest-ranking members of the association, Xiang Li naturally had a broad vision. He could see the impact Bai Qi¡¯s Rune Evolution and even its second stage would have on the Federation.
Such a simple and quick way of evolution. Even if it could only evolve into an Elite Level creature at most, the significance would be different if it could be mass-produced.
All it needed were some low-level Skeleton Soldiers. Then, by consuming some energy stones and recoverable Spirit Power, one could quickly cultivate an Elite Level creature. With such efficiency, the Federation wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the consumption problem in battles with Ferocious Beasts anymore.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Being able to win Xiang Li¡¯s approval made Bai Qi very happy.
The second stage of Rune Evolution, acknowledged by the Master of the Holy Relic Tower, making a core patent application wasn¡¯t excessive, right?
He was about to make more money, and his mood suddenly became veryfortable.
Bai Qi had a smile on his face, when suddenly President Qin said, ¡°Bai Qi, do you have any thoughts on the third stage of Rune Evolution?¡±
Hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi¡¯s smile stiffened. He looked at President Qin speechlessly and said, ¡°President, should I be pleased that you think so highly of me?¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m not joking. You solved both the first and second stages, theoretically speaking, you are the most likely person to research the third stage of evolution.¡±
¡°Alright, Lao Qin, how long has Bai Qi been in contact with Rune? His contributions to Rune have already exceeded ours. Don¡¯t be too demanding of the younger generation.¡±
Seeing this, Xiang Li burst outughing, pointing at Bai Qi¡¯s Spirit Power storage device and said, ¡°This machine is well-designed, but there are some issues with the Rune Structure. If you don¡¯t understand anything in the future, you can directly ask me. I should be able to help.¡±
¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll trouble Master Xiang.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded repeatedly. Xiang Li was an expert in treasure repair, and his Spirit Power storage device could be considered a mechanical version of a treasure in a certain sense. Consulting Xiang Li was indeed the best choice.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to the Tower of Knowledge first, and let these experts bear witness.¡±
Looking at the time, Xiang Li took the two directly to the entrance of the Holy Relic Tower, and then headed straight for the Tower of Knowledge.
Chapter 224 - 220: Gathering of Experts
Chapter 224: Chapter 220: Gathering of Experts
Trantor: 549690339
Tower of Knowledge.
Rune experts from all over the Federation were gathered around the White Dawn Meeh Armor, studying and exchanging their own views. As the highest host of this analysis group, the Tower Master of the Tower of Knowledge, Lan Ke, stood quietly not far away, seemingly waiting for something.
¡°Is Lan Chuanqi waiting for Bai Qi and President Qin?¡±
Professor Dong walked up to Lan Ke and said, ¡°They have gone to the Holy Relic Tower together; they should be arriving soon.¡±
Seeing Professor Dong walk over, Lan Ke immediately bowed to him and said, ¡°Professor Dong, you can just call me Lan Ke.¡±
Professor Dong gave a slight smile and said, ¡°You¡¯re a Legend, and I¡¯m just a Sunrise Master. It¡¯s not quite appropriate to call you by your name.¡±
Lan Ke shook his head and said, ¡°That is just an old custom, you are my elder, and I dare not im to be a Legend.¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Professor Dong smiled helplessly, but didn¡¯t insist. He was somewhat surprised when he saw Xiao Ding, who had just arrived from outside the door.
¡°Did Xiao Chuanqi also join the analysis group?¡±
Lan Ke replied, ¡°The primary function of the White Dawn Meeh Armor is to assist, and the Moon Night Tower is the most specialized in this respect. So, President Qin has asked Master Xiao to help. Master Xiang should being soon.¡±
¡°With three tower masters, it seems the president is determined to decode the Dual Sky Meeh Armors.¡±
Professor Dong seemed to understand, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
¡°I wonder what will happen when Old Qin and Xiao Chuanqi meet?¡±
Seeing Professor Dong¡¯s demeanor, Lan Ke slightly pursed his lips and said, ¡°Professor Dong, you are as witty as ever. But let¡¯s focus on the task at hand. I don¡¯t think the two elders would have a falling out on the spot.¡±
¡°Maybe¡¡±
Just as the two were whispering to each other, Xiang Li, President Qin, and Bai Qi appeared at the door. The Rune Schrs who were discussing the White Dawn Meeh Armor previously, halted their discussions to focus on Bai Qi.
As one of the most prominent Rune Experts in the Federation, they were naturally very interested in this young man who had researched Rune Evolution.
Of course, there were more doubts than admiration.
Rune research was not like other fields; you couldn¡¯t make breakthroughs simply with a little talent. It required long periods of umtion and study. To their knowledge, Bai Qi¡¯s time spent studying Runes was even less than the time it took him to be a Beast Master.
To im that Bai Qi could single-handedly develop something as epoch- making like Rune Evolution was totally unbelievable.
It was okay to ignore it at first, as there were other people in the Federation who used their gold to embellish their image like Bai Qi. However, the fact that Zhao Futu had added Bai Qi to the White Dawn Meeh Armor analysis team sparked controversy.
Bai Qi noticed the skepticism in these people¡¯s eyes and scratched his head in frustration.
He didn¡¯t care about their doubt. The evolution of the rune was a result of Old Qin forcing him to research. Besides, he indeed was a novice in the field of runes.
But being stared at by so many people like a panda, was rather ufortable.
Maybe he should just go back to his studies, andter ask Old Qin or Xiang Li for their research results.
¡°Ahem, sorry we arete. Master Xiang and I were conducting an experiment, and it took a while,¡± President Qin immediately stepped in front of Bai Qi, drawing attention toward himself.
¡°An experiment? President Qin, weren¡¯t you here to participate in the analysis of the White Dawn Meeh Armor?¡± a rune expert with a gaunt face asked.
¡°Yes, that is correct. However, when I heard about Bai Qi¡¯s research on Rune Tier 2 evolution, I decided to conduct an experiment at the Holy Relic Tower. Master Xiang was a witness,¡± President Qin responded.
¡°Rune Tier 2 Evolution?!¡±
There was an immediate uproar. After the formation of the Rune Evolution Research Group, many of them had also applied to join. Some had personally pondered and researched in this direction, so they had a basic understanding. Without exception, they were all stuck on the problem of subsequent evolution.
And now, President Qin told them that Bai Qi had researched the Rune Tier 2 evolution. Was it a case of the research group embellishing Bai Qi¡¯s image again?
¡°Exactly, it is indeed the Rune Tier 2 Evolution. I witnessed it myself just now. Judging by my evaluation, Bai Qi¡¯s research findings are not perfect, but they are already of promotional value.¡±
As everyone remained skeptical, Xiang Li also stood up to vouch for Bai Qi. Professor Dong also confirmed the findings.
¡°Just now, I told everyone that I have good news to share. This is it. I originally wanted to witness the first experiment with you ail, but Master Xiang beat me to it.¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiang Li apologized, ¡°I apologize, Professor Dong. I was carried away and took Bai Qi to conduct an experiment.¡±
Hearing the two talk, everyone present fell silent. Although their eyes were still filled with disbelief, there was no doubt left.
With Xiang Li and Professor Dong testifying, it seemed that Bai Qi indeed had researched the Rune Tier 2 evolution. However, considering Bai Qi¡¯s age, they still found it hard to believe.
¡°Alright, everyone, our task this time is to decode the White Dawn Meeh Armor, not Rune Tier 2 evolution, so let¡¯s put this topic to rest for now.¡±
Lan Ke¡¯s gaze swept over everyone present, and the room instantly became quiet. Even Xiao Ding and Xiang Li kept quiet.
As one of the Six Tower Masters, although Lan Ke was the youngest, his position was second only to Zhao Futu. Plus, Lan Ke was in charge of the analysis group, so they naturally had to show him some respect.
Was this the intimidation of the Tower Master of the Tower of Knowledge? Bai Qi, obediently falling into line, looked at Lan Ke who easily suppressed the whole scene without any terrifying pressure, without uttering a word.
Lan Ke was Lu Qing¡¯s teacher, and judging by the ruthless demeanor of Lu Qing, he guessed Lan Ke must be the same, and it was better not to provoke her.
¡°Hmm!¡±
As soon as this thought crossed Bai Qi¡¯s mind, he felt a heaviness in his chest and saw that, while Lan Ke had been speaking, her gaze had somehow fallen on him, and the pressure was emanating from her line of sight.
¡°Lan Chuanqi is a Super Apartment Beast Tamer, and you are also a super-powered individual who can perceive others¡¯ hostility, so you¡¯d better not be thinking all kinds of mess,¡± President Qin warned, noticing Bai Qi¡¯s situation.
A Super Apartment Beast Tamer? Another one who could probe into one¡¯s mind?
A chill ran down Bai Qi¡¯s spine, and he promptly scrambled his thoughts to prevent exposure.
Luckily, Lan Ke didn¡¯t seem interested in probing further into Bai Qi. Instead, she continued, ¡°The rune structure of the White Meeh is veryplex. To ensure our progress, I n to group everyone simply and work coboratively to analyze it. What do you all think?¡±
¡°Agreeable.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a good idea.¡±
Everyone agreed. Though they all were experts in runes, their areas of research differed, and making them analyze together would not necessarily improve efficiency.
Seeing everyone¡¯s consent, Lan Ke slightly nodded and started forming the groups: ¡°For the Energy operation structure: Professor Dong, Wang¡¡±
¡°For the Defense System structure: Master Xiang, Li¡¡±
II II
¡°For the Healing System structure: Master Xiao, President Qin,¡¡±
¡°Above is the temporary group arrangement. Does anyone have any objection?¡±
After announcing the list, Lan Ke looked at President Qin and Xiao Ding, but both remained silent and turned their heads away without uttering a word.
¡°Um, Master Lan, which group do I belong to?¡±
Seeing the atmosphere bing somewhat heavy, Bai Qi suddenly stood up and scratched his head awkwardly.
¡°Your talent in runes ismendable, Bai Qi, and you¡¯ve shown results. But your foundation is significantlycking. For now, I won¡¯t assign you any tasks. You can go to the Tower of Knowledge to perfect your foundation. If interested, visit the various groups,¡± Lan Ke offered after a moment¡¯s silence.
After all these days of training, she naturally recognized Bai Qi¡¯s talent. He was insightful, unbounded by traditional ideas, easily breaking the norm and capable of doing things ordinary people couldn¡¯t.
However, Bai Qi¡¯s foundation was too weak. Even with his great aplishments, they were like castles in the air.
Even though President Zhao personally asked Bai Qi to join the Meeh team, Lan Ke hoped Bai Qi would take this opportunity to solidify his foundation.
However, being pointed out his faults in public, an up-ander like Bai Qi might not take it well.
¡°Really? Thank you, Master Lan!¡±
Surprisingly, Bai Qi, who was ¡°exiled¡± from receivingpulsory tasks, didn ¡®t show any impatience, and on the contrary, seemed extremely satisfied.
Nopulsory tasks, plus the freedom to run around among different groups, and free ess to the resources of the Tower of Knowledge¡ what could be better than being free?
Besides, right now, he wanted to help Alpha with the integration of the Phoenix Feather.
¡°Oh, um, I¡¯ll leave you all be and head out,¡±
Bai Qi bowed slightly to the crowd and left striding away without waiting for President Qin to say anything else.
Why do I feel that Bai Qi is acting more and more like Luo Xiang?¡±
Watching Bai Qi leave without any hesitation, Professor Dong couldn¡¯t help recalling Luo Xiang from back in the day, as he disyed a simr demeanor.
I don t think so. This kid Bai Qi is much more active than Luo Xiang,¡± President Qin smacked his lips, well aware of Bai Qi¡¯s character. If they tried to buckle him down for research, Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t stand for it.
A simplistic example; Bai Qi had initially wanted to modify skeletal creatures
with machinery, but now he went straight for rune evolution.
At the very least, since he came to know Bai Qi, he had never seen him focus on a specific area of study.
¡°Humph! A restless mind is just a waste of talent,¡± Xiao Ding suddenly retorted in a cold voice on hearing President Qin¡¯s words, prompting thetter, after holding back for a long time, to finally retort, ¡°You old coot, do you think everyone is as stubborn as you?¡±
¡°Tch, one who knows how to live life like you, ended up losing a contract position, didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Looking at the two of them arguing like children, Professor Dong sighed helplessly, ¡°These two, as expected, have started arguing again.¡±
¡°It was expected. As long as it doesn¡¯t affect the analysis,¡± Lan Ke casually responded, and then vanished from the spot. Professor Dong, following her example, began to discuss matters with his group members.
These two had been bickering for a lifetime. After a long separation, it was better for them to argue it out now, so it wouldn¡¯t affect the progress of the analysister.
Chapter 225 - 221: The First King-level (Ask for Monthly Tickets ~)
Chapter 225: Chapter 221: The First King-level (Ask for Monthly Tickets ~)
Trantor: 549690339
After leaving the Tower of Knowledge, Bai Qi went straight to the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
You have to strike while the iron is hot. He had just exchanged for the Phoenix Feather, and there was no reason to keep it in his hand for appreciation. It was natural to convert it into actualbat power in time.
However, Alpha had been stuck at the High-grade Lord for a long time. This time¡¯s evolution might let Alpha directly evolve to the King-level, and the physical exertion might exceed his endurance limit. It was safer to stay near Nichs.
When Bai Qi entered Jade Valley, he saw Nichs, who had transformed into human form, sitting in the center of the valley, asionally picking some branches and leaves from the nearby flowers and nts, fiddling with something.
Bai Qi approached curiously and, upon seeing the teacups in front of Nichs, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s voice, Nichs immediately looked up and said, ¡°Bai Qi, your timing is just right. Can you help me taste which cup of tea is the best?¡±
Bai Qi picked up one of the teacups, looking at the nt roots inside still carrying soil, his eyebrows twitching slightly, he said, ¡°You call this thing tea?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡±
Nichs asked somewhat surprised, ¡°I investigated, an ancient country in the far east likes to use some nt¡¯s branches and leaves soaked in water as tea. As the Wingless Dragon, Older Sister should love this kind of hometown stuff.¡± Brewing for Old Lady Fan? Had he forgotten the pain of his healed wound and his nature of ttery revived?
Moreover, where did you go to investigate right after leaving the realm yesterday?
¡°Heh, I suggest you better not give this stuff to Old Lady Fan, or you might get killed on the spot.¡±
Bai Qi ced the teacup down and gave Nichs some honest advice.
¡°Does Older Sister not like tea? Hmm, should I prepare a fruit tter instead? Or fry some vegetarian dishes?¡±
Nichs paused at his words, pushed aside the bunch of teacups in front of him, retrieved a recipe book from somewhere, and started studying it seriously. This level of diligence¡ was the ttery of dragons always this terrifying?
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, ¡°Put this aside for now,e and lend me a hand.¡± ¡°Help?¡±
Nichs looked up curiously, ¡°Your beast is evolving again? Didn¡¯t I already give you the Green Dragon¡¯s Scales?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because I¡¯m afraid the Green Dragon¡¯s Scales can¡¯t hold up? It¡¯s safer with you around.¡±
¡°But I still have to prepare breakfast for Older Sister¡¡±
¡°I¡¯ll ask Old Lady Fan about her eating habits for youter!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s get started, I¡¯m prepared.¡±
Seeing Nichs agreed, Bai Qi summoned Alpha, took out the Phoenix Feather, and said, ¡°Alpha, try this first and see if it has any adverse effects on you.¡±
While it was true that there were undead creatures with fire attributes, such as Hellfire and his Fire Armor Corpse, Bai Qi was still a little worried about using the mythical level resource, the Phoenix Feather.
Creak, creak.
Alpha nodded, opened the crystal box, and gently touched the Phoenix Feather with a fingertip.
In an instant, a demonic red me appeared on Alpha¡¯s fingertip, spreading along the finger towards Alpha¡¯s skull.
Shoot, this really is dangerous!
Seeing this, Bai Qi¡¯s heart clenched and a huge serpent shadow darted out from Alpha¡¯s body, biting the me to try to extinguish it.
However, this me seemedpletely unafraid of the soul image of Orochi, even when on its head it did not go out, its mes only grew.
Seeing this, Alpha quickly drew the Sword of Death and cut off Orochi¡¯s head. The demonic red me separated, burning its headpletely before slowly fading away.
¡°The Phoenix Feather is really somewhat dangerous.¡±
Looking at Orochi that lost a head due to being burned by the me, Bai Qi roughly grasped the uniqueness of this material.
¡°No wonder Master Xiang reminded me to find materials to neutralize the fire of the Phoenix Feather, with such burning power, apart from fire attribute creatures, I guess few can withstand it,¡± said Bai Qi after a moment of contemtion, then began to sketch with a pen and paper.
¡°Bai Qi, what are you drawing? Didn¡¯t you say we are evolving first?¡±
Nichs, who was eager to prepare breakfast for Old Lady Fan, saw Bai Qi dawdling and started to urge him impatiently.
¡°Hold on, I¡¯m designing a rune system for storing heat first.¡±
The fire of the Phoenix Feather was too strong. Without some form of mitigation, even with the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi was still a bit worried.
After all, the main reason Alpha was able to integrate the Power of Death, besides relying on the Evolution Egg, was also because Alpha itself already mastered the closely rted Withering Power. Otherwise, apart from Gamma with his physical mutations, it was really hard to find other beasts that could resist it this harshly.
But to let Bai Qi weaken the effect of the Phoenix Feather before integration, he felt a bit heartbroken.
After all, this was a feather of a Phoenix. Weakening a bit would lose a bit, what if Alpha also acquired a simr escape from death kind of skill like Golden Cicada Shelling?
Soon, aplete energy storage structure waspleted under Bai Qi¡¯s hands.
¡°Alpha, try it out first.¡±
Creak, creak.
(Alright.)
Alpha nodded, extending a crystal bone to carve the rune Bai Qi had just designed onto it, then once again he touched the Phoenix Feather.
It was still the seductive red me, but it did not spread as quickly as before. Instead, it slowly began to merge into the rune structure.
However, this state onlysted a short while before the seductive red mes surged and burned again.
¡°It can store some energy, but the time period is a bit short.¡±
Bai Qi rubbing his chin, made another modification to the rune structure and then asked Alpha to continue experimenting.
After trying dozens of times, Bai Qi finally designed a structure capable of storing the Phoenix¡¯s fire for a longer time.
¡°But where should I engrave this ratherrge structure?¡±
Gazing at the finally formed rune structure, Bai Qi scratched his head. Looking at the Gravity Sword and the Sword of Death on Alpha¡¯s back, an idea suddenly shed through his mind.
¡°If ¡®Frost Sorrow¡¯ has turned into the ¡®Sword of Death¡¯, then let¡¯s go with ¡®Fire Joy¡¯.¡±
No sooner had the thoughte then Bai Qi immediately began to sketch arge sword on the outer edge of the rune structure. Its resemnce to Frost Sorrow was uncanny, except the demonic goat head carving had been reced with a hollow feather design by him.
After careful inspection, Bai Qi confirmed there were no problems and handed the blueprint to Alpha, then calling Gamma forward.
Now that Gamma had Life Energy Conversion, he could channel energy into others if the Green Dragon Scale couldn¡¯t cope, then Gamma could give it a try first.
If it worked, they wouldn¡¯t have to worry about sudden evolution in the future when Nichs wasn¡¯t there.
¡°Alpha, make a sword like this, then put the Phoenix Feather into it.¡±
Alpha nodded, and a stick-to-scale crystal sword was formed, then quickly picked up the Phoenix Feather and ced it into the hollow part of the great sword.
In an instant, the seductive red mes burned fiercely, but they were soon sucked into the great sword. The originally transparent Crystal Great Sword gradually turned a seductive red.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately ced his right hand on Alpha, activating the Evolution Egg.
As Bai Qi had predicted, the moment Bai Qi activated the Evolution Egg, the familiar feeling of physical exhaustion attacked him from all over his body. The Green Dragon¡¯s scales in his chest lit up, continuously transmitting the life force into his body.
Even so, Bai Qi¡¯s condition didn¡¯t improve.
The Evolution Egg was absorbing his physical strength too quickly this time, and the rate of delivery from the Green Dragon¡¯s scales was obviously not keeping up.
¡°Gamma!¡±
Bai Qi, sensing something was wrong, immediately roared. Gamma immediatelynded on Bai Qi, activating Life Energy Conversion, and continued to channel energy into Bai Qi¡¯s body.
But Bai Qi still felt his body weakening, although slowly, judging from the condensation of the Golden Egg, it was clear that he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold out until the formation of the Golden Egg.
¡°Nichs, it¡¯s still your turn.¡±
Bai Qi quickly called for Nichs¡¯s help. Nichs, who was eager to find Old Lady Fan, didn¡¯t hesitate and ced one hand on Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, steadily supplying him with the Jade Power.
With Nichs¡¯ support, Bai Qi¡¯s condition immediately improved. The Golden Egg quickly solidified and enclosed Alpha within it.
Simultaneously, Bai Qi felt a sudden burn on the Curse Mark on the back of his left hand, an unknown energy flowed from Alpha towards Bai Qi through the Curse Mark.
Such a reaction right from the beginning of the evolution, is it special because it¡¯s a king level?
Feeling the continual flow of energy from Alpha, Bai Qi simply sat down in meditation, adapting to this energy silently.
Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be out of danger, Nichs finally stopped his energy supply and returned to his research on Old Lady Fan¡¯s snack.
¡°Hmm, she¡¯s probably done with breakfast by now, I should start preparing lunch¡¡±
Looking at the splendid dishes on the menu, Nichs was filled with vigor. He fumbled out some cooking utensils from who knows where and started fussing about in the kitchen.
As time passed, Nichs carefully ced a carved flower onto the te. After carefully checking the cement, he sighed in relief.
¡°One hundred and eight dishes, that should be enough for her.¡±
Looking at the day¡¯s work in front of him, Nichs nodded contentedly, preserving the freshness with Jade Breath, then nned to deliver these dishes to Old Lady Fan.
¡°The evolution is taking some time. Still, I suppose I should deliver the food to her first.¡±
Just as Nichs, ncing at the still quiet Golden Egg, was about to leave, the surrounding space suddenly darkened. Thend, nts, and even the surrounding energy gradually lost its vitality.
¡°This is¡ a King¡¯s field?¡±
Nichs immediately reacted. Arger green space suddenly appeared, dispelling the effects of the ck field.
At the same time, Bai Qi, who had been quietly receiving feedback from Alpha, also opened his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the Golden Egg in front of him. Is the first King-leveling?

Click.
Under Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, the Golden Egg developed its first crack. Before Bai Qi could respond, countless ck sword lights shed past, and the Golden Egg burst open. At the same time, a terrifying aura that seemed capable of extinguishing all thought spread out. The shell of the Golden Egg hadn¡¯t flown far when it was slowly corroded by the ck breath and gradually vanished into nothingness.
Not only that, the earth around the Golden Egg also gradually tended towards death. The ck breath spread all the way to the edge of Nichs¡¯ Jade Domain before it halted. After a brief probing, it quickly retreated, revealing a tall figure within.
Height of about three meters, with a golden ratio, delimited in a simple yet dignified armor that made Alpha look even more imposing. Coupled with the dragon crown on his head, it was as if a king had arrived.
Behind Alpha, a red and a yellow giant sword were tightly grasped by the palms of the armor. From afar, they looked like a pair of giant wings.
Beneath these wings, there were also a pair of metallic wingsposed of sword des. A slight flutter resulted in countless wind des appearing, all of which disappeared in the air before approaching Bai Qi.
As for the Sword of Death, it was firmly held in Alpha¡¯s hand. Everywhere the sword tip passed, it seemed as if even space leaned towards annihtion.
¡°Is this¡ evolution sessful?¡±
Bai Qi, who had also just awakened, looked at Alpha, who resembled a four-winged angel wielding a long sword. A smile surfaced on his face. Following that, aplex set of information appeared in Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Name]: ??? (Alpha)
[Nature]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Four Stage Three Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level King
[Racial Skills]: Death Force Field (Transcendent Level ¨C Basic), Sword of Death (Transcendent Level ¨C Proficient), Undying me (Super ¨C Basic), Dark Reflection (Super ¨C Adept), Gravity Amplification (Super ¨C Proficient), de Storm (Super ¨C Proficient), Dragon¡¯s Might (High Level ¨C Perfect), Skeleton Maniption (High Level ¨C Perfect), Wind Wound (High Level ¨C Proficient)
[Energy Value]: 1E6840W
¡°It has indeed evolved into the King-level!¡±
Seeing Alpha¡¯s race level, Bai Qi clenched his fists with joy written all over his face.
King Level, second only to the Emperor-level bloodlines of legendary creatures. He had managed to cultivate one sessfully at the fourth stage!
With this, unless a Seven Stage Legend made a move, Alpha would no longer be suppressed by bloodlines.
¡°Has Alpha evolved into the King-level?¡±
Looking at Alpha, whose appearance and aura hadpletely transformed, Nichs involuntarily furrowed his brows.
Although both of Alpha¡¯s levels were far below his, the unfolding of the Death Force Field had made him feel ufortable.
Even worse, there was a faint sense of threat.
¡°Yes,¡± Bai Qi nodded without noticing Nichs¡¯ unusual appearance, and began to examine Alpha¡¯s new panel.
Ignoring the expected unknown species name at first nce, Bai Qi immediately took in the skill bar.
¡°Three newskills?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback as he confirmed that the original two crystal skills and even the Shadow Lotus Skill had disappeared, reced by apletely new skill ¨C Dark Reflection.
[Skill Name]: Dark Reflection
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Exnation]: Shadow Department + Crystal n ¨C Constructs a mirror using a crystal as support and the darkness as a substance. The one reflected would be hidden in the shadows, while a mirror image is summoned to assist in battle.
Such a boundless skill!
It can not only evade attacks by hiding in the shadows, but also summon mirror images to assist inbat. Truly, integrating the benefits of both the shadow and crystal systems.
¡°But with this, Schuck Beta will find it even harder to restrict Alpha¡¯s movements.¡±
Thinking back to the tactics Schuck Beta used during his fight with Alpha, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh.
If he didn¡¯t know that the skills pets acquired during evolution were randomly obtained, he would almost suspect Alpha did it on purpose.
¡°Let¡¯s test out its effectster.¡±
Although Bai Qi was curious about the effects of Dark Reflection, he suppressed his curiosity and continued to examine the other skills.
[Skill Name]: Undying me
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Exnation]: Fire attribute, derived from the me on the Phoenix. The energy does not rest, the me never ceases. Until the enemy ispletely incinerated, the Undying me will not extinguish.
From a certain perspective, this was Bai Qi¡¯s main goal. As expected, he directly acquired a Super Skill.
It¡¯s just that the description of this skill seems somewhat off.
¡°Why does it sound like a certain skill that¡¯s never actually burned an enemy to death?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly, hoping that it was only the setup that was simr, and that the actual effect would be very different. Otherwise, it would truly be a waste of effort.
With a hint of unease, Bai Qi turned his attention to thest one, which was also representative of the power of King-level entities: the King¡¯s Position.
[Skill Name]: Death Force Field
[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level
[Skill Exnation]: King¡¯s force field. A special force field constructed of the Power of Death. Within the force field, the vitality of living beings and energy will gradually diminish, and they can only exert 30% of their original effect. The King¡¯s force field, how terrifying it is!
No wonder the teacher gave so much importance to the Power of Death. This force field derived from the Power of Death nearly suited all attributes.
If he encountered that malnourished Saber-toothed Tiger again, Bai Qi was confident that Alpha could singlehandedly deal with the Saber-toothed Tiger without even getting hurt.
¡°Alpha, let¡¯s test the effects of these three newskills.¡±
Bai Qi withdrew his spirit power and intended to personally verify the effect of the three skills.
*Crack* *Crack*.
(Wait a second boss, I don¡¯t think my evolution isplete yet.)
¡°Evolution not yetplete?¡±
Bai Qi paused for a moment. Hasn¡¯t it already reached the King level? Could there still be any skills that haven¡¯t awakened?
Under Bai Qi¡¯s curious gaze, a Rune Mark emerged from Alpha¡¯s palm, and in the flickering light, the Six Corpse appeared around Alpha.
Moreover, their bodies were all shining with the light of evolution.
¡°Alpha has evolved into King-level, and so have these guys?¡±
Bai Qi looked somewhat surprised at the six corpses gradually covered by the light of evolution. Originally, he had only seen these guys as mobile batteries and workers. Now it seemed there was future potential?
The evolution of the Six Corpses finished quickly, and Bai Qi also received the evolution feedback of the Six Corpses from Alpha.
[Name]: ??? (Golden Armor Corpse)
[Nature]: Steel Apartment, UnDead Department
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Growth Level]: Second Stage Three Level
[Racial Skills]: Steeling (Mid-Level ¨C Full mastery), Ripping w (Mid-Level ¨C Full mastery), Savage Charge (Mid-Level ¨C Full mastery), Heavy Sword Strike (Mid-Level ¨C Beginner), Sword Formation (High Level ¨C Beginner)
¡°They are already high-grade elites?¡±
Looking at the increasingly tall Golden Armor Corpse with a huge metallic sword in hand, Bai Qi was surprised and turned his attention to the newly acquired skills of the Golden Armor Corpse.
[Skill Name]: Sword Formation
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Transformation skill, concentrates all strength to transform into a giant sword form, greatly enhancing attack power.
Transform into a sword? It can be yed like this?
Bai Qi also checked the status of the other Six Corpses, all of which had such a skill.
¡°So what you¡¯re saying is, Alpha not only gained six chargers but also six ornaments?¡±
Looking at the Six Corpses each holding a different attribute sword, Bai Qi grinned and said, ¡°Six Corpse, use Sword Formation!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, six different colored lights shone from the bodies of the Six Corpses, quickly transforming into six long swords of different attributes that constantly circled in the air under Alpha¡¯s control.
From a distance, Alpha and those Sword Flying experts seemed indistinguishable.
¡°You six will respectively be called Gold (Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Dark) Armor Sword Servants, as for Alpha¡¡±
Bai Qi paused, ¡°You¡¯ll be called Death Sword Monarch.¡±
Firmly holding the Sword of Death and controlling six sword servants. If not the Death Sword Monarch then what?
After he roughly understood the effect of Sword Formation, Bai Qi had Alpha recall the Six Sword Servants and continue to study Alpha¡¯s three newskills.
Although the six sword servants that evolved with Alpha were pretty good, they were external forces after all. Compared to that, Bai Qi was more interested in the three skills of Alpha itself.
¡°Let¡¯s test the Undying me first-¡±
As the main goal of this evolution, this was the first skill Bai Qi thought of.
¡°Gamma, spit out a sub-body and cut off its connection to you.¡±
Bai Qi patted Gamma beside him. Gamma immediately spat out a small green jelly, which slowly wriggled towards Alpha.
¡°Alpha, go ahead.¡±
*Crack* *Crack*.
(Understood, boss.)
Alpha nodded; the me sword on his back suddenly flew up and chopped heavily on Gamma¡¯s sub-body. The demon-red me immediately engulfed the sub-body, and after a short struggle, it was reduced to nothing.
*Gush* *Pop*.
(This me is so hot, Gamma is a bit scared.)
Seeing the sub-body instantly burned to ashes, Gamma instinctively backed away, while Bai Qi was very satisfied.
It burns so fast!
With thisbustion speed, he didn¡¯t have to worry about it bing like Amaterasu with mes that can¡¯t kill anything.
But it seems like it¡¯s still a melee skill?
If he had known earlier, he would have made it in the shape of a bow and arrow.
*Crack* *Ke* *Ke*.
(Boss, this skill can be used remotely.)
Just as Bai Qi felt a bit regretful, suddenly, Alpha passed on a message.
¡°It can be remote? Hurry up and show its effectiveness.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately urged Alpha to demonstrate.
Upon receiving Bai Qi¡¯s order, Alpha quieted down and silently stared at a tree not far away. As the Fire of Soul in Alpha¡¯s eyeballs turned red, the tree was also lit by the Undying me.
Damn, it can beunched from the eyes, it looks more and more like the Amaterasu¡

Trantor: 549690339
Watching the strange red mes quickly spreading not far off, following Alpha¡¯s line of sight, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes slightly twitched.
At least this Undying me burned faster than Amaterasu, or it would have been really useless.
Unlike the slow-burning mes of Amaterasu, the Undying me incinerated at an extremely fast speed, turning the target into nothingness in a blink, and still showed signs of spreading to other ces.
¡°Bai Qi, are you here to wreck the house?¡±
Nichs waved his hand, and a strong green energy roared out, trying to extinguish the Undying me.
However, once the Undying me was blown by this energy, it was like a shark that has smelled blood ¨C instead of being extinguished, it burned even more vigorously, and even seemed to spread toward Nichs along his energy radiance.
¡°Huh?¡±
Nichs froze at this sight, yanked his right hand, and the Undying me was tossed into the sky. Without the energy to support it, the Undying me quickly went out.
After ensuring there was no Undying Fire remaining, Nichs looked at Bai Qi and said, ¡°The me can even use my own energy as fuel, where did Alpha get this me from, it¡¯s so bizarre?¡±
¡°The mes of a Phoenix, perhaps they¡¯re just this fierce.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, although he hadn¡¯t seen the rumored effect of rebirth from death, the firepower was indeed formidable.
Given how the Undying me could incinerate Nichs¡¯s energy just now, it seems that the Undying me won¡¯t extinguish until the energy waspletely burned out. Instead, it might burn even more fiercely?
Thinking about this, Bai Qi suddenly had an idea and said, ¡°Nichs, why don¡¯t you help Alpha test its new skills?¡±
Alpha was now at King-level, and the gap with the other Three Pets had widened again, making it impossible to test the limits of Alpha¡¯s three new skills. Nichs was the perfect choice for this.
¡°I don¡¯t have time, I have to prepare dinner for the big sister again¡¡± Dinner? Didn¡¯t you just finish preparing lunch before?¡±
Bai Qi was a bit confused, but after seeing the scattered dishes and Gamma gorging itself, he scratched his head awkwardly.
No question about it, the anomaly caused when Alpha evolved must have led to this situation.
¡°Ahem,ter I will bring over some recipe books to help you out, you first apany Alpha for a match.¡±
Watching Nichs¡¯s resentful gaze, Bai Qi scratching his head in embarrassment and pushed Alpha towards Nichs.
¡°Alright, but if it wrecks me terribly, I won¡¯t take care of it.¡±
Nichs let out a reluctant sigh upon seeing this, then took the form of a dragon and flew towards the outskirts of the valley without any hesitation.
We will fight outside, don¡¯t harm the vegetables I just nted.¡±
Eh, vegetables?
Bai Qi was stunned, and after looking around, indeed saw that the spot that was originally for nting supplements had been filled up with all sorts of vegetables.
What the hell did this guy do in just one night!
Bai Qi let out a helpless sigh, then let Alpha fly with him following Nichs. Since Nichs officially moved to Jade Valley, coupled with Gamma asionallying over as a free toxin purifier, the toxin concentration around had dropped a lot. Although it hadn¡¯t beenpletely eliminated, many areas were already no longer upied by toxins.
Nichs looked around and finally found an open space tond, he said,
¡®Alpha, attack at full power, I am short on time.¡±
Even though Nichs didn¡¯t have much of abat record, and got badly beaten up by old Lady Fan on his only outing, it didn¡¯t change the fact that he was a Legendary creature. It would be tough for a low-level monarch like Alpha to hurt him.
But Bai Qi had this in mind in the beginning, a target that can¡¯t be hurt is just what Alpha needs to release its full power without any reservations.
Alpha, don¡¯t hold back, let¡¯s see where your limit lies now.¡±
Ga ga.
(Rest assured, boss, I¡¯ll try my best.)
Alpha pped its wings, ced Bai Qi on a big tree on the side, while Bai Qi summoned the Twin Pets rather familiarly, directly built a mechanical treehouse on top of the tree, and silently watched the fight.
Ah woo?
(Why do I think, that stinking bone has be stronger?!)
The moment Beta appeared, it noticed a difference in Alpha¡¯s aura, and upon seeing Alpha¡¯s new appearance, its eyes became round with shock.
Woof woof!
(Has the stinking bone evolved again?!)
¡°Although this was in my expectation, it¡¯s only been a day, I¡¯m still finding it a bit hard to ept.¡±
Schuck scanned over Alpha, looking at the data on the panel of reports, slightly disgruntled. 5 y
Ahem, it¡¯s fine, anyway Alpha can¡¯t participate in the second round of resource disputes, it should be fine.¡±
Seeing the situation, Bai Qi quickly reassured Schuck and Beta, saying, ¡°Didn¡¯t I also give you enhancement ns yesterday?¡±
Woof woof!
(I also want Mythical Resources¡)
Beta looked woefully at Bai Qi as if she were a wife abandoned by her husband for many years. Bai Qi felt a chill crawl up his skin. He could only nod repeatedly and say, ¡°Legendary resources are too difficult, I¡¯ll buy you more spirit resourcester.¡±
Mythical-level resources were too expensive, but he could still afford Epic-level resources. Next time he goes to the Holy Relic Tower, he would ask Xiang Li to give him a discount.
Gurgle gurgle?
(Master, do you want to eat? The food tastes very good.)
Gamma looked puzzled at the inspired Schuck and Beta, a question mark hovering above his head, and then brought a te of food to Bai Qi.
With a principle of not wasting anything, Gamma took all the food with him when they left.
Eating while watching the battle, his appetite was good.
Thank you, but I¡¯m not hungry.¡±
Bai Qi politely declined Gamma¡¯s kindness, focusing all his attention on Alpha and Nichs.
By that time, Alpha had flown to Nichs. His more than three meters tall figure seemed insignificant in front of Nichs¡¯ giant dragon form. However, Alpha showed no fear. He pped his wind wings, and countless des rolled¡¯ out, forming into a hurricane and charging towards Nichs.
¡°Is that a de-storm that can be released remotely?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows raised, he hadn¡¯t expected that after evolving to the King- level, Alpha¡¯s original abilities would also change, which he found quite surprising.
A de-storm that could be released remotely was a long-range attack skill. It was a surprise gain.
After being released remotely, the flexibility of the de-storm was evidently much stronger. It skillfully evaded Nichs¡¯s w attack andunched an attack from the side. In Alpha¡¯s eyes, a demonic red me red as he focused on Nichs¡¯ critical points.
However, after just witnessing the power of Alpha¡¯s Undying me, Nichs naturally wouldn¡¯t let Alpha have his way. With a flicker, Nichs avoided Alpha¡¯s gaze. A string of glowing light on his dragon¡¯s w brightly shone With a forceful sweep, countless light ws rushed towards the de-storm and Alpha.
The light ws were extremely fast. They came to Alpha instantly. However just before the ws could hit Alpha, a mirror like ck obsidian blocked in ¡¯ front of Alpha.
This Dark Mirror was clearly very fragile. When lightly touched by the light ws, it immediately broke into innumerable fragments. But Alpha, who was supposed to be behind the mirror, had vanished.
Seeing this, Nichs immediately looked sideways and saw Alpha slowly emerging from the shadow to one side. Before he could say anything, he felt a sudden gust of winding from behind. Immediately, he spun around his w at the ready.
The oneunching the surprise attack was none other than Alpha.
¡°A clone?¡±
Nichs looked at the two identical Alphas. Unwilling to waver, he decided to test the strength of the current attacker first. Suddenly, a tailsh went straight for Alpha. 6
With Nichs¡¯s massive dragon body, even a casual tailsh was very powerful. Alpha promptly drew out the Gravity Sword and swung it heavily in front of him, blocking a force of invisible power just in front of Nichs¡¯s tail.
¡°Is that, repulsive power?¡±
Nichs, who had failed his attack once again, was increasingly bewildered His tail continued to exert force, breaking through the repulsive defense of Alpha.
But before his tail could hit, another Alpha rushed from the shadow, swinging his me sword towards Nichs¡¯ head.
Facing Alpha¡¯s dual attack, Nichs showed no fear. With a w out, he seemed intent on defending Alpha¡¯s me sword with his dragon w.
Bang!
A loud noise, Nichs¡¯s tail heavily fell on the Gravity Sword. However, it felt as if it had hit a great obstacle, unable to shake the gravity sword.
After adding several gravity multipliers, the gravitational force around the Gravity Sword had far exceeded its former state. Nichs¡¯s tail swish could not exert its original power.
However, despite this, the attack from the other Alpha was still blocked.
Nichs¡¯s dragon scales showed signs of being burnt from holding the me Sword tightly. At the same time, the demonic red Undying Fire also rapidly spread over Nichs.
Though remote initiation is fast, its uracy is not as reliable as the me
Sword, where one strike means one strike.¡±
Seeing the Undying me also causing damage to Nichs¡¯s scales, Bai Qi couldn¡¯thelp but smile.
mes that could injure a legendary creature, though it was only a little charring, were enough to illustrate its destructive power.
One could imagine that if the one just cut was another creature, it might have
been seriously injured on the spot.
However, Nichs still showed fear towards the Undying me. The moment the Undying me reached him, Nichs vibrated, the power of the Jade immediately surfaced, isting the Immortal me. At the same time, without reducing momentum, he wed at Alpha.
A sound of mirror shattering apanied, then ¡°Alpha¡± turned into countless fragments on the spot. But the me sword did not disappear. Under the control of an invisible force, it broke free from Nichs¡¯s restraint and flew to Alpha¡¯s real body at the tail.
The clone created by Dark Mirror might have half the strength of the original but its defense was very weak. If it was an average creature¡¯s attack, it would ¡¯ have been fine, but against a legendary dragon like Nichs, it didn¡¯t stand a chance.
Alpha, who used the Gravity Sword to forcefully take a tail swipe from Nichs, had no intention of giving up the confrontation with Nichs. He still used gravity to restrain Nichs¡¯s tail. The twin-wind wings vibrated, and the de-storm appeared again.
At the same time, Alpha¡¯s eyes shed with the demonic red me and the Undying me dropped onto the de-storm. A gigantic fire tornado formed instantly. With the help of the wind, itpletely enveloped Nichs.

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Well, well, the Wind -Fire Combination Technique is out,¡±
Seeing Alpha¡¯s action, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Even though the Undying me would burn the metallic elements in the swirling sword des, it could also rapidly enhance the me¡¯s intensity through this process.
In this way, even if Nichs tried to forcefully separate the Undying me with the Jade Power, it wouldn¡¯t be easy now.
As expected, the moment the fire tornado enveloped him, Nichs¡¯s body burst forth a strong Jade Power, attempting to break through the blockade of the Undying me.
But at this moment, the Undying me was zing like a wildfire, instead of being scattered apart, the fire became even stronger.
Awooo¡
(Schuck, master advises you to include a freezer in your new weapon¡)
¡°Advice epted.¡±
Seeing that Alpha could make such a mighty creature struggle, Schuck Beta silently started nning the design of the future weapon arsenal.
Kapu Kapu?
(But Gamma feels that this me-freezer will not put out the me?)
As the team¡¯s defender, Gamma was aware of how horrifying the firepower of Undying me was.
If he did not activate his life energy transformation, relying purely on his resistances and physical constitution, he might onlyst thirty seconds? Or maybe twenty?
Awoo awoo!
(Gamma, can¡¯t you show some spirit and suggest a vacuum cleaner?)
It s unrealistic. Alpha¡¯s Undying me doesn¡¯t seem to be relying solely on oxygen as fuel.¡±
Schuck shook his head, currents of electricity flickering in his electronic eyes, clearly trying to find devices that could suppress the Undying me.
Seeing the pair seriously discussing tactics against Alpha, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°There¡¯s no need to fret. Alpha is currently at King-level, and is definitely at an advantage. You can do this once everyone levels up to King- level.¡±
While Bai Qi and the others were discussing how to counter the fire tornado, a dragon¡¯s roar was heard from within the fire tornado. The Undying me was shaken apart by an invisible shockwave, revealing Nichs¡¯s gigantic dragon body.
Nichs, at this moment, was apparently serious. His emerald green eyes were full of gravitas, a terrifying barrage of pressure originating from a Legendary Giant Dragon pouring out. Even Bai Qi, who had deliberately kept a distance, felt a heaviness in his heart and immediately retreated further.
Other than the time with Nichs and the python, this was the first time Bai Qi saw Nichs so serious.
Indeed, any legendary creature, no matter how weak, was notparable to ordinary creatures.
Nichs, having released his aura, nced around. Looking at the Undying me that was expanding constantly after being sted away, he opened his mouth and a draconic breath fell upon the surroundings of the Undying me Suddenly, the surging fire of the Undying me was thoroughly extinguished.
The Jade Breath didn¡¯t only release vitality but could also strip away life
After extinguishing the Undying me, Nichs didn¡¯t stop. His draconic breath directlynded on Alpha. Although Alpha tried his hardest to dodge, he was grazed slightly by the dragon¡¯s breath.
Despite that, after being affected by the dragon¡¯s breath, there were no visible injuries on Alpha¡¯s body. Instead, he dispersed once more into shattered mirror fragments.
Simultaneously, the ¡°Mirror Clone¡± that was initially ruined by Nichs reformed, taking the form of a massive obsidian mirror. From it, the true body of Alpha slowly stepped forth.
¡°Did Alpha use the Dark Reflection twice previously?¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, immediatelyprehending Alpha¡¯s tactics.
It turned out that the two Alphas outside were both mirror images. The true Alpha was still hiding behind the mirror, waiting for the right moment.
Seeing the Alpha who finally revealed his true body, Nichs showed no surprise. With a roar, countless Jade Powers transformed into green leaves. Like flying daggers, they rotated and flew towards Nichs.
Upon seeing this, Alpha did not dodge. His Sword of Death danced an imprable dance, directly shredding the myriad of green leaves, and went straight for Nichs. The me Sword and Gravity Sword, which were initially scattered on the ground, also returned under Alpha¡¯s control, being held behind him again.
With the addition of the double swords, Alpha¡¯s surroundings became protected by twopletely different energies. His advancing speed shot up,ing directly atop Nichs in an instant. He swung the Sword of Death towards Nichs.
Facing the Sword of Death, Nichs didn¡¯t dare to be careless. His gigantic dragon body dodged in an extremely odd manner, while simultaneously a w swipe was aimed at Alpha.
However, Alpha, who had mastered the skill of flight, didn¡¯t fear Nichs¡¯s attack at all. With a beat of his wings, he quickly dodged by gaining altitude. Seeing this, Nichs also ascended into the air, exhaling a breath of Jade Breath towards Alpha in the sky.
This Jade Breath covered a vast area, leaving no room for Alpha to dodge. His only choice was to endure it head-on.
However, just at this moment, a pitch-ck force field was instantly expanded.
Alpha rapidly plummeted at a terrifying speed, piercing through the Jade Breath like a fallen meteor, andnding on Nichs¡¯s body. The Sword of Death m his hand deeply stabbed into Nichs¡¯s body.
¡°Damn, that¡¯s going too far!¡±
Seeing that the Sword of Death could so easily prate Nichs¡¯s defense, Bai Qi was instantly taken aback.
Although he usually treated Nichs as a tool dragon, he still considered Nichs as a friend in his heart. If he became truly injured by the Sword of Death, Bai Qi would feel really bad.
Roar!
Alpha¡¯s sudden outburst was clearly beyond Nichs¡¯s expectations. The pain rushing from his body eerily awakened its long-dormant ferocity, buried deep within him.
As the proudest of the Dragon Race, even a good-for-nothing like him was not something that other creatures could bully at will.
A green aura slowly emanated from Nichs¡¯s body, and everything around him, be it the sky, the flowing water, or the ground, even Alpha¡¯s Death Force Field was dyed green by this aura.
At the same time, Alpha only felt a terrifying energying from the Sword of
Death, which even the Power of Death could not erase its vitality.
What was most terrifying was that this energy seemed to be trying to reverse the attribute of the Sword of Death.
(Turning all the substances in space into its own energy, is this a field control?)
Seeing this, Alpha immediately pulled out the Sword of Death, trying to distance himself from Nichs.
But Alpha, who was already enveloped by the Jade Domain, could not possibly escape Nichs¡¯s control. Before Alpha could fly far away, countless vines sprang up out of nowhere and tied Alpha up. Even Alpha¡¯s other great swords were firmly bound.
These vines seemed no different from ordinary nts, but theypletely ignored the high temperatures of the me Sword and the cutting power of the Wind de. Some of them even directly entangled themselves on the de of the Sword of Death.
The Emperor¡¯s Domain was terrifying!
Even so, Alpha still had no intention of admitting defeat. The soul of the Orochi suddenly surfaced and exploded before the Jade Domain could suppress it turning into the purest Power of Death and integrating into the Sword of Death.
With the support of the Orochi¡¯s Power of Death, the Death Force Field of Alpha, which had just been suppressed, was able to be opened up again, adding a hint of ck in this world full of green.
With the help of the Death Force Field, Alpha immediately broke free from the vines¡¯ restraints like cutting through vegetables, and me Sword, Gravity Sword, and Wind de swirled around Alpha¡¯s arm.
Not only that, but the Six Sword Servants, which had been put away, were also summoned out again. They transformed into six long swords of different attributes and joined the team as well.
With the merger of ten swords, Alpha was ready, and the Death Force Field suddenly shrank, clinging tightly to his body. His entire body became like a sharp sword, jabbing at Nichs.
Facing Alpha¡¯s all-out attack, Nichspletely unleashed his power constraints. The terrifying power of Legendary Creatures diffused, forming a huge dragon-shaped energy flying towards Alpha.
It could be imagined that if Alpha was hit directly by this energy, he would at least be severely injured.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi quickly wanted to forcefully recall Alpha.
Alpha, who had apanied him all the way and had just been promoted to King-level, could not be injured.
Squeeze¡
Just then, arge gap suddenly broke open in the space between them, and an olddy in ancient attire with white hair came out, holding an Ancestral Beast in her arms, mumbling something to herself
Nichs, is grandma¡¯s meal ready? If you don¡¯t prepare it, I won¡¯t be polite eh?¡±
Old Lady Fan stopped halfway through her sentence when she saw the transformed Alpha and Nichs¡¯s Giant Dragon Charging towards her. Her brows furrowed. She put down the Delta in her hand, slowly stretched out both hands, and the attacks from Alpha and Nichs were abruptly halted.
Holy cow. Old Lady Fan is awesome!¡±
Seeing Old Lady Fan effortlessly neutralize Alpha and Nichs¡¯s attack, Bai Qi was utterly stunned. At the same time, a question arose in his mind.
How did Old Lady Fan get in?
¡°Hmm? You¡¯ve already been promoted to King-level, no wonder you haven¡¯te to see grandma.¡±
Old Lady Fan nced at Alpha holding the Sword of Death, gave a slight nod then grabbed Alpha with the back of her hand and threw him towards Nichs.
¡°Grandma has been hungry all day. Go and cook for grandma now!¡±
¡°Yes, big sister, Little Dragon is going right away.¡±
Hearing Old Lady Fan¡¯s reprimands, Nichs immediately responded, nodded repeatedly, and was about to cook some vegetarian dishes. But Old Lady Fan throw a pile of meat that appeared out of thin air next to Nichs.
¡°Grandma can¡¯t eat too much at night, just make a hundred or eighty meat and vegetable dishes.¡±
Bai Qi:
Well, certainly not much food.
Seemingly detecting Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, Old Lady Fan suddenly turned to look at Bai Qi, saying, ¡°You help me out, too. I have something to askyouter.¡±
¡°Okay!¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately agreed and ran to Nichs¡¯s side to help.
Nichs, did you give Old Lady Fan ess to the secret realm?¡±
¡®No, I didn¡¯t have a chance to. Big Sister seemed to have ripped through space to get in.¡±
¡°She¡ Isn¡¯t Old Lady Fan too fierce? Turns out Old Lady Fan is the sweeper of
the association. Oh no, the sweeping dragon?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know, let¡¯s hurry up and prepare the food. If we get Big Sister upset, we won¡¯t be able to handle one p from her.¡±
¡°What are you two chatting about? Cook now!¡±
¡°Yes, ma¡¯am!¡±

In order to avoid being pped to death by Old Lady Fan, Bai Qi called over his pets like Alpha to help.
Schuck and Beta¡¯s Mechanical Lord transformed directly into a fully equipped kitchen with pots, bowls, pans, and various kitchen appliances.
Alpha turned into a master chef, the dark reflections coborated to prepare the ingredients with sword de storms, and the undying me provided heat while the amplified gravity separated impurities.
As for Gamma, he was assigned to handle food waste.
The second coboration of Bai Qi¡¯s pet team was startlingly used in cooking, and it turned out to be incredibly well-coordinated.
¡°Damn, Bai Qi, are you seriously going all out?¡±
Seeing the proficient cooperation of Bai Qi¡¯s team, Nichs felt the pressure mounting. He quickly expedited his cooking, even using his skills, which were smoother than when he¡¯d fought with Alpha.
With the joint efforts of both parties, a rich feast was presented to Old Lady Fan.
¡°Not bad, your skills are better than those chefs at Six Towers.¡±
Old Lady Fan looked around, nodded in satisfaction, and then a silver dragon phantom shed by, causing the food to vanish instantly.
Watching Old Lady Fan elegantly wipe her mouth with a handkerchief, Bai Qi was slightly dumbfounded. He asked, ¡°Nichs, did you see when she finished eating it all?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t see.¡±
Nichs was equally bewildered. Was Old Lady Fan holding back when she beat him up the other day? Given her speed, he might have been beaten to death without even realizing it.
Even though they were both legends, was there really such a huge difference between them?
Old Lady Fan¡¯s mood improved considerably after eating. Holding Delta, she came to Bai Qi and said, ¡°I¡¯ve talked to Delta, you are indeed very attentive in training him, and I am very satisfied.¡±
At this, Bai Qi heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Delta is my pet, it¡¯s what I should do.¡±
Old Lady Fan nodded and said, ¡°However, if you want to develop Delta in the direction of Space Department, the difficulty of evolution in the future will be high. You better be prepared.¡±
¡°Thankyou, Bai Qi understands.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. It was difficult to find space materials, but the league would definitely have ess to them. After he perfected the spirit-control orb, he could negotiate with the league and perhaps purchase them.
¡± I¡¯ve been living in the league for many years now, and I¡¯ m running low on collected items. But I rummaged around yesterday, and luckily found a piece of space material, just right as a gift for Delta.¡±
¡°Space Material?!¡±
Bai Qj¡¯s eyes lit up. Looking at the space crystal stone in Old Lady Fan¡¯s hand, his heart began to pound uncontrobly.
In just a single night, did Delta manage to curry the favor of Old Lady Fan?
So it seems that hardworking children do get rewarded?
Old Lady Fan tossed the space crystal stone to Bai Qi and said, ¡°This space crystal stone is of mediocre quality, but it barely qualifies as mythical material. It should help Delta, but after this, you¡¯ll have to rely on yourself.¡±
¡°No problem!¡±
Bai Qj nodded continuously, and asked, ¡°Do you have any more Space Materials left?¡±
Old Lady Fan rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Stop dreaming. This space crystal stone was painstakingly extracted from my teeth. 1 have consumed all the others, so don¡¯t even think about it.¡±
Eating space materials?
Could it be that Old Lady Fan was also of the space attribute?
Thinking about Old Lady Fan¡¯s recent series of actions, the more Bai Qj thought about it, the more confident he became in securing Old Lady Fan¡¯s favor.
A Eastern Giant Dragon with space attributes, and it¡¯s the kind with an unfathomable power level. Once he solidifies this rtionship, he can hang out in the sidelines.
Boop Boop Boop!
(Thankyou, Grandma!)
Delta was also very grateful for Old Lady Fan¡¯s gift, and kept expressing his gratitude.
¡°You¡¯re wee. Just remember toe back and chat with me when you¡¯re free.¡±
Old Lady Fan shook her head, a faint smile spreading across her face. She stunned Nichs who was watching from the side.
Appearance is justice; the Eastern Dragon did not matter anymore.
Old Lady Fan patted Delta¡¯s head and said, ¡°However, Delta¡¯s physical condition is somewhat weak. If you want to perfectly absorb the Space Crystal Stone, you¡¯d better train a bit more. You should only use it after at least reaching the third or fourth level, otherwise, you may waste its energy.¡±
Bai Qj repeatedly nodded at Old Lady Fan¡¯s words. Space attribute materials were hard toe by, and he obviously wouldn¡¯t waste them. After all, he was no longer the rookie who used to directly p the materials onto the pets the moment he saw them.
Resources, of course, should be maximized.
¡°By the way, I heard from Delta that you¡¯ve recently been researching a new form of contract?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. He took out the spirit-control orb and said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not exactly a contract. It¡¯s just a bridge between humans and pets. It¡¯s still far from being a beast master¡¯s contract.¡±
Old Lady Fan took the spirit-control orb, and after seeing the runes on its surface, she frowned and asked, ¡°You¡¯re using the ve Contract?¡±
She recognized it even after being simplified to this extent?
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly, then exined how the spirit-control orb came about.
¡°Is that what Bai Heguang told you?¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, Old Lady Fan chuckled and said, ¡°He¡¯s not wrong. Given the spirit strength of you humans, unless you possess special talents or break through to the mythical level, you could only endure seven contracts at most. If there¡¯s more the Spirit wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it.¡±
¡°Mythical Level? Do such creatures really exist?¡±
Bai Qj¡¯s eyes sparkled with excitement. Old Lady Fan undoubtedly knew more than his teacher did, and he couldn¡¯t let this source of free information slip by.
¡°Don¡¯t get your hopes up, it¡¯s unlikely that a creature of mythical level could appear in this world.¡±
While ying with the spirit-control orb, Old Lady Fan looked towards the Six Swords beside Alpha and said, ¡°You¡¯re lucky. This Little Skeleton only has six subordinates. If there was one more, it might have taken up one of your contract slots. At that point, you would never be able to be a legend.¡±
¡°That can happen!¡±
Upon hearing Old Lady Fan¡¯s words, Bai Qi broke out into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he hadn¡¯t been able to experiment with other types of skeleton soldiers, otherwise he¡¯d surely have activated all of Alpha. By then, it would have been toote.
Luckily, he managed to retrieve a contract slot.
Old Lady Fan apparently didn¡¯t intend to linger on this topic. She said, ¡°It¡¯s quite impressive that you came up with the idea of simplifying the ve contract to achieve such an effect.¡±
¡°Although the contract rtionship isn¡¯t that firm, you¡¯ve built a new bridge between humans and pets.¡±
Old Lady Fan tossed the Spirit-Control Orb back to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°You can try to enhance themunication structure within it, dilute the contract. There should be quite a number of pets who prefer peace and would be willing to contract voluntarily.¡±
¡°If my memory serves me right, there¡¯s a young man named Zhang Youren who alsomunicates with pets in a simr way.¡±
Zhang Youren? The Martial Emperor? A young man?
Old Lady Fan, just how old are you!
But ording to Old Lady Fan, enhancing the Spirit-Control Orb¡¯s spiritualmunication structure means relying on winning over affection to rece thepulsory spiritual link of the contract, right?
Seems, feasible?
Old Lady Fan¡¯s words woke him like a dream. New designs popped up in his mind, and hepletely forgot about Old Lady Fan and Nichs around him.
¡°Let¡¯s leave for now and let this little guy think about it.¡±
Seeing his state, Old Lady Fan didn¡¯t disturb him and pulled Nichs to fly towards Jade Valley.
¡°Is this your mother¡¯s grave? It doesn¡¯t even have a decent tombstone. If it were me, I would definitely resurrect and beat you to death!¡±
¡°Cough, what¡¯s a tombstone?¡±
After mulling over it for a long time, Bai Qi finally came to and said to Alpha and the other four pets who were silently guarding him, ¡°How long have I been thinking?¡±
¡°Exactly one hour and eight minutes. Beast Master, did you have an epiphany?¡± Schuck precisely reported the time Bai Qi lost in thought, while Bai Qi shrugged, saying, ¡°Nothing much, just a bit of an idea.¡±
Crackle, crackle.
(Sorry, boss, I lost.)
Alpha began to apologize for his defeat immediately. The three-meter-tall giant didn¡¯t look any different from a little kid.
¡°It¡¯s okay. Nichs is a legendary creature. It would be abnormal if you could beat him.¡±
If Old Lady Fan hadn¡¯t shown up just now, Alpha would have been seriously injured. But for Alpha to push Nichs to this point, although it was mainly due to Nichs¡¯ck of skill, his performance was still considered good.
After all, legend has it that legendary creatures would normally dominate over others.
Crackle, crackle.
Alpha nodded at Bai Qi¡¯s words, but the flickering fire of the soul in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.
He¡¯s still concerned about it¡
Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed helplessly and decided to arrange a one-sided ughter game for Alphater.
When ites to confidence building, nothing is more effective than a field trip for ughtering weaklings.
¡°I¡¯ve gotten my hands on the space materials. It seems like I need to speed up and level up Delta¡¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Space Crystal Stone in his hand and felt a bit of a headache.
Although the Space Crystal Stone would have the best effect if Delta was upgraded to the fourth stage, but with the support of the Evolution Egg and arge number of resources from the training camp, Bai Qi estimated that it would take at most a month.
And there were still more than three months before he could exchange materials at the end of the training camp, which means Delta would definitely use the mythical material before Gamma.
Even though it was one way or another, Bai Qi felt stupid to break the rules about the use of materials just after the internal match.
¡°Or should I ask President Zhao if I can im the first ce benefits in advance? I mean, I did help the association to lure a Legendary Giant Dragon.¡± Stroking the fuzz on his chin, Bai Qi suddenly had an idea.
¡°Forget about it, let¡¯s try and see first. If it doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll have to ughter anyone in my way!¡±
Thinking of the massive points in the hands of Xiao Yuan and others, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes turned red. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he had used up all his challenge opportunities for the week, he would have stormed over to provoke a fight. Kerfuffle?
(Master, what¡¯s wrong? Are you angry because you didn¡¯t get to eat earlier?)
Boop, Boop.
(I¡¯m not sure either. He might be too excited.)
Gamma and Delta looked at Bai Qi who was leaving quickly in confusion, not knowing what was bothering him.
Kerfuffle.
(Delta, let¡¯s go exploring. The poisonous gas here is delicious. We can¡¯t find it anywhere else.)
Boop, Boop.
(Okay, Delta also wants to get stronger soon.)
The twin pets left one after another, and Beta, who had already seen through everything, sighed helplessly.
Woof¡
(These two don¡¯t care, and Bai Qi is actually troubled over the order of use. Humans are really strange¡)
¡°So, you just want to use this method to use the mythical-level resources in advance.¡±
Woof, woof!
(Schuck, can you not spoil my n!)

Trantor: 549690339
Tower of Decision.
Zhao Futu looked somewhat surprised at Bai Qi, who was smiling sheepishly in front of him, and asked, ¡°You want me to advance you the reward for the first ce in the training? Can you tell me why you¡¯re in such a hurry?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and replied, ¡°Well, I just thought I could upgrade my skills earlier, so I could repay the Federation for its nurturing sooner. After all, it¡¯s just a matter of time ¨C ¡±
He was firmly in first ce for the academicponent of the training. The only real threat was Lu Qing, but Lu Qing¡¯s performance in practicalbatgged far behind his.
As for practicalbat, Xiao Yuan and Bai Qiucha posed some threat to him, but now Alpha had evolved into King-level. Unless Bai Qiucha unsealed the power of the Skeleton Dragon, they wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat him.
Even if they overtook him in practicalbat, Bai Qi was not worried, because Cha¡¯s academic performance, especially in Rune studies, was quite inferiorpared to his.
Simply put, among all the trainees, those who could beat him up were not as good as him in academics, and those who studied well couldn¡¯t beat him.
That¡¯s why Bai Qi had the gall toe early and ask Zhao Futu for the first- ce reward.
¡°Hahaha¡¡±
Having heard Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, Zhao Futu burst intoughter. ¡°Such arrogance I¡¯ve never heard before. But your request, I can¡¯t say I won¡¯t grant it.¡±
¡°Really? Thank you, President!¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. He immediately delivered a load of sweet talk, but Zhao Futu waved his hand, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t thank me so soon. I have a condition, and it¡¯s not now.¡±
Not now?
Then forget about it. He could only earn some points with Xiao Yuan first and then exchange them for the Twin Star Core; he had to give up on Light Spirit Holy Diamond for the time being.
Anyway, the Thirteenth Bureau still owed him one Mythical resource. By that time, he would choose a resource from the Holy Light series.
Unable to get the rewards ahead of time, Bai Qi immediately lost interest. Seeing this, Zhao Futu couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°You¡¯re rather pragmatic, but don¡¯t worry. Since I promised you, I¡¯ll definitely give it to you. But there¡¯s a condition.¡±
¡°A condition?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback and retorted, ¡°Is there going to be some sort of assessment?¡±
Zhao Futu nodded, ¡°You could say that.¡±
Zhao Futu stood up and looked down at the assembly hall surrounded by the Six Towers. ¡°Your training has advanced to the second stage, and in the third stage, you will be left to develop freely.¡±
¡°However, before that, you need to pass an assessment, which will determine where you go in the third stage.¡±
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, ¡°Are we supposed to have a ranking battle? That¡¯s easy, I can challenge them right now.¡±
¡°Of course, it¡¯s not that simple.¡±
Zhao Futu shook his head, ¡°In another month, there will be a joint assessment between the Federation and the Thirteenth Bureau. We will determine your future based on your performance in the assessment.¡±
¡°And what you have to do is toe in first in this assessment!¡±
Another joint assessment? Another first ce? Can¡¯t these presidentse up with something new?
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but sigh at these words, ¡°So, as long as I can beat the people sent by the Thirteenth Bureau, I¡¯ll be good, right?¡±
Although the plot was somewhat cliche, as far as one-on-one battles were concerned, he was the bravest. Plus, if things went as expected, his opponents would be people like Li Xusheng and Xia Yan.
This ought to be a sure win.
¡°It¡¯s not as simple as you think, but I can¡¯t reveal too much to you now. fust be prepared.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s attitude, Zhao Futu smiled and said, ¡°Perform well, and you might even get a position in the Federation. The benefits provided by the Thirteenth Bureau aren¡¯t worse than those of the Federation.¡±
¡°Hmm? Is that possible? Isn¡¯t special training specifically for training talents for our Federation?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled. Although Luo Xiang had mentioned it before, it still felt weird hearing it from Zhao Futu, the President of the Federation.
¡°That¡¯s true, but the Federation also belongs to the Human Federation, both working for the good of humans, there¡¯s no real difference.¡±
¡°Not to mention Federation members taking positions in the government, there are also quite a few of the Thirteenth Bureau working in the Federation.¡±
A glimmer of light representing righteousness appeared on Zhao Futu¡¯s face, which made Bai Qi feel a little ashamed involuntarily.
Was this the President¡¯s broad view? His foresight had already surpassed that of ordinary forces.
¡°But if there are any benefits, consider the Federation first because the Federation is arge family and arge business. If everyone left, it wouldn¡¯t be able to keep going.¡±
Alright, perhaps he had seen it wrong earlier.
Bai Qi pursed his lips upon seeing this. Wasn¡¯t this a partnership? It was clearly an attempt to have him do a job for free.
But that¡¯s alright ¨C better not waste the perks that fall into yourp.
Zhao Futu asked, ¡°By the way, I heard that the Legendary Giant Dragon moved to Old Lady Fan¡¯s ce?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Old Lady Fan said she needed someone to nt crops, so she took Nichs to help.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡.that¡¯s so typical of Old Lady Fan, but it¡¯s good. With Old Lady Fan there, we don¡¯t need to worry about the future growth of this Legendary Giant Dragon. Humanity has gained anotheryer of protection.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded in satisfaction, ¡°I remember how much time my Void Skate spent under Old Lady Fan¡¯s guidance, or else, I might not be seated in this chairman¡¯s position.¡±
Goodness, so the chairman also grew under Old Lady Fan¡¯s discipline. It¡¯s true then, the one pulling strings in the association behind the scenes is no one but Old Lady Fan-
Yes, he must remind Nichs to cling to Old Lady Fan¡¯s coattails, then he¡¯ll no longer fear being exploited.
¡°Mr. Chairman, weren¡¯t wingless dragons extinct? Howe there¡¯s one at headquarters?¡± Bai Qi finally voiced his doubt.
Zhao Futu shook his head, saying, ¡°Old Lady¡¯s origin is considered a secret in the headquarters. It¡¯s better to not pry into it until you be a Legend.¡±
Saying this, Zhao Futu sat back in his seat and said, ¡°There¡¯s less than one month until our joint examination with the Thirteenth Bureau. You should train well in these days to avoid disgracing the Association.¡±
¡°I have already spoken with Zhang Shan. Whether you attend sses or not, and how you manage your time is up to you. Either self- training or participating in the analysis of the White Meeh is fine, but you must participate in the basic examinations. Understood?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and promptly left the Tower of Decision.
Although he was unable to receive the award in advance, he could start earlier than during the regr exam. Perhaps he could use it simultaneously with Delta at that point.
And thinking about it, Yi Yu saying that there was something at the Association, maybe it was this?
In this case, with the additional reward from the Association, he might receive another one.
Oh right, there¡¯s also a Seven Stage mechanical technology.
Thinking about the resources he might receive in a month, Bai Qi was in high spirits. He hummed a tune as he headed to the Tower of Knowledge.
Inside the Tower of Decision.
Watching Bai Qi leave tedly, Zhao Futu¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°He Guang, his character is rather different from yours. How did you think of taking him in as your disciple?¡±
Bai Heguang appeared from a corner, saying, ¡°I simply didn¡¯t want the wielder of the Power of Death to run around freely. Plus, Bai Qi is indeed talented, but I just didn¡¯t expect¡¡±
¡°¡that his talent would be so monstrous, right?¡±
Zhao Futu took over Bai Heguang¡¯s line, ¡°We¡¯re fortunate to be in peace times. If it were before, with this kid¡¯s mentality and talent, he might have be another Great Emperor.¡±
Hearing Zhao Futu evaluate Bai Qi so highly, Bai Heguang¡¯s eyebrows slightly raised, but he didn¡¯t retort.
Monsters exist, regardless of the era.
¡°By the way, any news from the Tribe? After stirring up the ck Python Tribest time, did that python act up?
Bai Heguang shook his head, ¡°That python is very cautious and won¡¯t easily cross the territories.¡±
¡°However, the wild Ferocious Beasts inside and outside the Federation have been very activetely, and many Mutant Species have appeared. I suspect the Tribe might be involved.¡±
Bai Heguang put a Federation map in front of Zhao Futu. Various spot locations are clearly marked with a red pen. Each location had different symbols, obviously corresponding to different threat levels.
¡°I have heard about it as well. Recently, Beast Masters of fifth and sixth level in the Association received simr tasks and have been really busy. We have also suffered quite a loss.¡±
Zhao Futu sighed and looked towards the direction of the Tower of Knowledge, ¡°I hope the analysis process of the White Meeh will go smoothly and hasten the poprization of the beast healing device because the current healing speed can¡¯t cope with high-intensity treatment.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded silently.
Although the healing pods of Moon Night Tower are effective, the consumption is also high. It¡¯s far-fetched to want to use them all over the Federation, but getting the White Meeh from the Thirteenth Bureau this time was indeed a big help to the Association.
After a long silence, Zhao Futu finally broke it. Looking at Bai Heguang, whose eyebrows showed signs of fatigue, he apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. These are things I should do, but I ended up having you, a Titled Legendary, do the work instead. You should stay at headquarters and rest for a while since I¡¯m not too busy recently.¡±
¡°Mr. Chairman, you need to stay at headquarters. Let me handle these matters. As for rest, that¡¯s not necessary.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, ¡°Some guys in Federation West are starting to misbehave. I still need to investigate that.¡±
¡°The West¡ the same issues over such a long time. Can¡¯t they control the aggression in their bloodlines? Don¡¯t they know how hard it is to attain peace in humanity today?¡±
Listening to Bai Heguang mentioning the West, Zhao Futu¡¯s expression turned chilly, ¡°If there¡¯s any trouble there, don¡¯t be lenient. We can¡¯t afford any mishap at this time, the new generation of the Federation hasn¡¯t fully grown yet.¡±
¡°Peace was hard to achieve, we have to safeguard it for the younger generation.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
As Bai Heguang nodded, his gaze toward the West became even colder.
Chapter 231 - 227: Am I Also Becoming a Second- Generation Legend?
Chapter 231: Chapter 227: Am I Also Bing a Second- Generation Legend?
Trantor: 549690339
Having resolved the issue of the mythical resources, Bai Qi felt a stone lift from his heart. After a short ponder, he set off toward the Tower of Knowledge.
He was certainly not going to the analysis group for the White Meeh. Such arge machine armor, probably the data from the rune on the shell has not been fully collected yet. Going now would only hinder their progress, so it would be better for him to go to the Tower of Knowledge to search for information instead.
Anyway, Zhao Futu and Lan Ke had both promised that he could freely read the materials in the Tower of Knowledge. He must not waste this opportunity.
Without Xiang Li leading the way, Bai Qi had to go through careful identity verification before being allowed to enter the Tower of Knowledge.
Unlike the high-tech disyed in the Holy Relic Tower, the Tower of Knowledge still maintained its original structure.
The neatly lined up ssical bookshelves in the library were filled with equally ssical books, giving off the appearance of a vintage library.
¡°They¡¯re all paper books. Aren¡¯t they afraid of damage due to improper preservation?¡±
Bai Qi was slightly confused. In this day and age, while paper books still existed, they are no longer the mainstream, especially considering the security of storage and the convenience of reading, electronic reading devices would definitely bring more advantages.
¡°This is the Tower of Knowledge, not a regr library. There¡¯s no danger of damage to the books here. The age of these books would suffice even your grandpa.¡±
Just then, Lu Qing came out from behind a bookshelf with a book in her arms. Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s surprised expression, she said, ¡°The books here are very valuable, remember to put them back in their original ce after reading.¡± Without waiting for Bai Qi to reply, Lu Qing left the library with the book in her arms.
Was he just mocked by Lu Qing?
Bai Qi scratched his head speechlessly. It seemed his luck was so bad that he could be scoffed at even when he was just looking for a book.
¡°Forget it, reading is the main thing here.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged. Putting everything else aside, he started to observe this ancient library.
As Lu Qing said, each of the old bookshelves was full of ancient runes, and even the covers of the books were engraved with corresponding runes, exuding a special aura that protected the books.
¡°A rune that could extend the preservation period might be worth learning ¨C it could be useful.¡±
Bai Qi took out the tools and silently recorded the runes on the book, then he started to search for the books that he needed.
As the gathering ce for all the association¡¯s materials, both the variety and quantity of the books in the library were terrifying. If it weren¡¯t for the guide stone at the entrance, Bai Qi would have suspected that he could get lost in there.
¡°The only avable categories are Runes and History, the rest are still not allowed?¡±
Looking at the only two illuminated runes carved in the guide stone, Bai Qi could not help but shrug.
All that was allowed to be loaned were materials rted to the White Meeh. He had hoped to copy some reference materials.
Could it be that there are no electronic products in the Tower of Knowledge to prevent theft?
Bai Qi had an epiphany and lit up the rune symbol that represented the Rune section. His body was immediately enveloped in a light beam that teleported him in front of a Rune section bookshelf. Next to the bookshelf, there was also a guide stone for assisting him to find books.
Picking up a random book, a light shone on the guide stone and the book was teleported directly to him.
¡°Although there¡¯s no installed machinery, the function isn¡¯t that bad.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, picked up the book, and started reading on the spot.
The book mainly discussed the analysis and application of fire attribute runes. Although it wasn¡¯t as easy to understand as Luo Xiang¡¯s exnation, it wasprehensive and detailed ¨C suitable for a thorough foundation.
The other books Bai Qi browsed were the same. Being satisfied, he piled the books together and nned on heading to the History section.
The Rune rted contents were too numerous and varied, he could certainly not finish in a brief span of time. While the History section was open, he thought he might find information rted to the Demon ss.
The intelligence on the Power of Death also needs to be looked into.
As for these Rune books, he would bring them back for a slow read.
Bai Qi pressed the button to go to the History section. The teleportation light enveloped him again, and the books in Bai Qi¡¯s hand disappeared and returned to the bookshelf.
¡°You can¡¯t take them out? How did Lu Qing manage to take them out then?¡±
Bai Qi was speechless. They didn¡¯t even allow to take books outside. It was like they expected him to stay here all the time.
¡°Forgetit, I¡¯ll find the Demon ss materials first.¡±
In the History section, Bai Qi located all the rted books from the Era of Law Emperor and then started to slowly read them.
Although it was just one era, the number of rted books was not small. Even with Bai Qi¡¯s Four-Stage physique and spirit power, he only managed to get through a third of them, even though he read until his neck was sore.
Nheless, Bai Qi benefited enormously.
¡°I see, from a certain perspective, the Law Emperor could probably be considered the patriarch of the Mechanical Engineering Department.¡±
Bai Qi closed a book that documented the rune puppets of the Era of the Law Emperor with a sigh.
If one were to rece the circuitry of the mechanical engineering with rune structures and swapped the energy source with energy stones, the only difference between Mechanical Engineering and the Rune Department would be the intelligence control unit.
No, wait a minute. The resist mechanical systems have given birth to Spirit- Controls, which could be categorized as living beings, whereas Rune Puppets, no matter how intelligent they be, remain as mere tools.
Even so, the Rune Puppets could truly be considered as the prototype version of mechanical engineering.
¡°But there is still no mention of the Demon ss data.¡±
Bai Qi rubbed his temples, having gone through the history of the Law Emperor dozens of times to avoid missing any information, but he didn¡¯t find a single piece of data rted to the Demon ss or even evil power.
As for the Power of Death, he hade across some records, but they were merely touched upon briefly without detailed documentation.
¡°Let me finish reading the rest first, then ask the teacher or Master Xiang if there¡¯s a chance.¡±
Bai Qi put the book in his hand down and casually picked up another one from the side to continue browsing.
¡°Hmm, is it about unsolved incidents from the Era of Law Emperor?¡±
After turning two pages, Bai Qi found that this book seemed to record all kinds of bizarre events.
¡®The Truth about Rune Puppets and Original Beasts¡¯
¡®The Possibility of Law Emperor Being a Reincarnated Deity¡¯
¡®Is Law Emperor¡¯s Harem Made of Rune Puppets or Real People¡¯
¡°What the hell are these, the Tower of Knowledge really does collect everything.¡±
Bai Qi, holding the book that seemed more like gossip than history in his hand, sighed in silence. Just as he was about to toss it aside, he noticed an entry, and so he kept the book.
¡°In the 36th year of the Law Emperor, two extraterrestrial meteors fell from the sky; where they fell, one half was engulfed in the Green me, one half was evaporated by the white light; all of mankind¡¯s Ferocious Beasts disappeared without a trace. Later, the Law Emperor himself took away the two meteors; nothing out of the ordinary has urred since¡¡±
¡°Green me, white light¡ Could it be that the two peculiar stones inside the Dual Sky Meeh were obtained from here?¡±
Bai Qi noted the time when the Law Emperor found the two meteors, then picked out all the records rted to the Law Emperor around that time, especially the appearance time of the Dual Sky Meeh, finally confirming his conjecture.
¡°So, the Demon ss really dide from outer spaces-¡±
Bai Qi frowned slightly; as a transmigrator, he was sure that there were other worlds out there. Still, the world he previously lived in was just an ordinary technology world, simply iparable to the Demon ss.
A Demon ss from outer space sounded like big trouble.
Since the Demon ss was extraterrestrial, he probably won¡¯t find specific information in the history section. There¡¯s no point staying here anymore.
Bai Qi closed the book, returned it to the shelf, and then started searching for books rted to death.
However, this time, he didn¡¯t find anything.
After all, unlike the Demon ss, there wasn¡¯t a specific time frame to follow; the timespan was too ancient.
¡°I¡¯ll ask the teacher the next time I see them; they might know something.¡±
Bai Qi stood up, rubbed his slightly aching neck, and nned to go back to studying in the Rune Department.
After all, his rune fundamentals were average; it wasn¡¯t bad to take this chance to work on them.
Just then, a ray of white light suddenly lit up next to Bai Qi, and Lu Qing appeared next to him.
¡°Bai Qi, the teacher is looking for you.¡±
Lu Qing nced at the messy pile of books next to Bai Qi, furrowed her brows slightly, operated the stone tablet next to them, and the books returned to their original ces.
¡°Next time, if you continue to treat books like this, I will suggest to the teacher that your privileges to enter here be revoked.¡±
¡°Ah, okay.¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly at her words. After all, he was under her roof and had to keep his head low. Plus, to a bookworm like Lu Qing, his behavior had indeed been excessive.
After all, they wouldn¡¯t care about the fact that these books aren¡¯t so easily damaged.
After tidying up all the books, Lu Qing turned and left directly. Bai Qi quickly followed her, saying, ¡°Lu Qing, why does Master Lan want to see me?¡±
¡°You will know when you get there.¡±
Lu Qing pushed her sses and quickened her pace, stepping out of the library.
¡°Indeed, you can¡¯t mess with women who wear sses¡¡±
Bai Qi shook his head in the face of this situation, but still he quickly caught up.
Looking for him at this time could either be rted to White Meeh, or the Rune Tier 2 evolution, if not that, then it would be the Spirit-Control Orb matter.
Following Lu Qing, Bai Qi quickly arrived at Lan Ke¡¯s office.
But when he saw a man and a woman in Lan Ke¡¯s office, his jaw dropped.
¡°Mom, Dad! How are you both here!¡±
These two were none other than Bai Qi¡¯s parents who haven¡¯t visited home for a long time due to their research.
Weren¡¯t they both research professionals from theirpany? How did they get here?
Could it be the research professional identity was a sham and mom and dad were actually members of the association?
With everything so secret and mysterious, could it be that they were actually from a background of big hidden families?
Uh, the Bai families in the association seem to be just a few like Professor Bai; could it be that I really am a member of the Bai family?
Am I really also the second generation of a legend?
Chapter 232 - 228: Family Younger Brother Position
Chapter 232: Chapter 228: Family Younger Brother Position
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s surprised expression, Madame Bai couldn¡¯t help butugh. She quickly moved forward, taking a good look at Bai Qi while constantly asking, ¡°My dear son, how have you been? Did you start dating? Why did you put on so much weight? Have you been cking on your studies?¡¡±
The barrage of questions left Bai Qi in tears ofughter. He gently pushed his mother¡¯s hand away, saying, ¡°Mom, can you take a breath? If you don¡¯t need it I say I need it.¡±
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu rolled her eyes and said, ¡°You brat! It¡¯s only been a few months, and you¡¯ve already learned to be so cheeky.¡±
Bai Qi gave a broad grin, replying, ¡°Well, it¡¯s been too long since Ist sawyou, mom. A bit of cheekiness is in order.¡±
Luo Zhu smiled, patting Bai Qi¡¯s head and then saying nostalgically, ¡°In just a few months, you¡¯ve managed to grow so tall.¡±
Bai Qi took her words in, examining himself from top to bottom. It was only then that he realized that he had actually grown much taller than before.
I guess it must be due to the feedback from my upgraded pets.¡±
Thanks to the Evolution Egg, each time he had managed to maximize his attributes before advancing, his physical health was considerably better than Beast Masters of the same rank. But as for him growing taller, he had genuinely not noticed.
¡°That¡¯s true, after Beast Masters level up, their physical health does indeed improve ordingly.¡±
Luo Zhu nodded, saying, ¡°I heard from Ke that you¡¯ve already advanced to the fourth stage? You¡¯ve made me proud, my handsome son!¡±
¡°Ke?¡±
On hearing the name, Bai Qi instinctively looked towards Lan Ke.
In this office, it seemed that Lan Ke was the only one with ¡®Ke¡¯ in his name right?
His mom even knows Master Lan?
With thoughts of these connections in mind, Bai Qi became more certain than ever of his second-generation status, and his mind had already begun to conceive of what hush-money he had to extract from his dad and mom.
Hmm, even someone as legendary as him calls him Ke, asking for a piece or two of Mythical Level resources wouldn¡¯t be too much, right?
¡°Bai Qi, be mindful of your manners.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s attitude, Bai Yan frowned, saying, ¡°You are now under the jurisdiction of the Association. You should at least call him Master Lan.¡± ¡°I apologize, Master Lan.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately conceded defeat. Both his parents were researchers, but their characters were as different as night and day. His mother wasn t exactly strict, but you could say she was rather tough.
Noticing this, Lan Ke lightly smiled, saying, ¡°Bai Yan, you are still as strict as ever. Bai Qi is not like you at all.¡±
¡°Exactly, my intelligent son must have taken after me. If he were to take after Bai Yan, he would definitely be a blockhead as well,¡± Luo Zhu said, proudly lifting her chin. Bai Yan was about to retort, but when he met Luo Zhu¡¯s gaze, he held back his words.
Family dynamics, as they say.
¡®By the way, mom, what are you guys doing here? Aren¡¯t you researchers from our family corporation? When did you join the Association?¡±
Luo Zhu shook her head, replying, ¡°We didn¡¯t join the Association. Our corporation has a partnership with the Association so we came for some fieldwork and decided to check up on old friends.¡±
While saying this, Luo Zhu pointed at Lan Ke, saying, ¡°Back in school, we were known as the best of friends. Lan Ke went on to be a legend while I became a researcher. Since then, we¡¯ve rarely seen each other.¡±
Bai Qi realized then. Turns out his own mother had these kinds of connections and judging by their current interaction, the two of them seemed to have a fairly good rtionship?
¡°So, mom and dad, how long are you guys going to stay here?¡±
Bai Yan replied, ¡°We¡¯re just here to acquire some materials. As soon as we confirm the information is correct, we¡¯ll leave. It was Master Lan who said you were in the Tower of Knowledge, so we had you summoned.¡±
So, if he wasn¡¯t here, they didn¡¯t n on calling him over?
A true father indeed!
Son, don¡¯t listen to your father. It will take several days to extract the Ancient Biological Embryo. We¡¯re not leaving anytime soon,¡± Luo Zhu shot Bai Yan a stern re, then looked at Bai Qi tenderly, saying, ¡°It¡¯s been a while since Ist had the chance to spend time with my adorable son. I don¡¯t n on leaving just yet. Bai Yan, you can go back if you want.¡±
Bai Yan opened his mouth to say something but ended up just sighing in resignation. Bai Qi responded with a sympathetic look, then obediently moved closer to Luo Zhu, saying, ¡°Sounds good, let me show you my Four-head Pets. Oh, I also befriended a Legendary Giant Dragon.¡±
¡°Legendary Giant Dragon?!¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Luo Zhu¡¯s eyes shone with an unusual light, and she asked, ¡°What attribute does the dragon have? How long has it lived? Son, are you familiar with it? Can we get some of its bodily tissues? We don¡¯ t require much, just a bit of blood, skin, scales, flesh, and innards.¡±
Seeing his mother instantly switched into work mode, Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly.
I can understand scales, but she wants flesh and innards too? It seems like mom, from dissecting frogs in theb, has be interested in dissecting dragons?
He suddenly regretted mentioning Nichs¡
¡°Luo Zhu, it¡¯s a legendary creature, not a test subject from yourb. You can put that thought out of your mind.¡±
Lan Ke seemed to have a headache dealing with Luo Zhu¡¯s approach, saying, It s good that Bai Qi doesn¡¯t have to participate in the training for a while, so just let Bai Qi show you and Bai Yan around the headquarters. I still have to oversee the analysis of the White Meeh so I won¡¯t be apanying you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡±
Hearing Lan Ke¡¯s words, Luo Zhu sighed in disappointment. Bai Yan finally seized his chance to speak, smoothening out his face to say, ¡°No training? Could it be that you performed poorly, Bai Qi, and got kicked out of the training camp?¡±
¡°Uh, dad, could you have a little faith in your son?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Bai Yan speechlessly, replying, ¡°I am now a member of the analysis team. The head of the Association made a special exception for me, exempting me from the training.¡±
¡°The analysis team? You?¡±
Bai Yan looked at Bai Qi somewhat surprised, seemingly unable to connect Bai Qi to what had just been shared.
¡°The two of you, as parents you¡¯re really cking off,¡± he said.
Lan Ke disyed a rare helpless expression and said, ¡°Bai Qi has already obtained ownership of a Rune¡¯s core patent, and has further developments in this regard. I sent out the patent application this morning, so we should receive an answer soon.¡±
¡°Moreover, unexpectedly, Bai Qi should soon hold a mechanical engineering core patent.¡±
Bai Yan: ¡°¡¡±
Luo Zhu:
After a long time, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu finally regained theirposure and looked at Bai Qi withplexity in their eyes.
Although they never failed Bai Qi financially, they did indeedck in concern for him. Bai Qi had been quite independent since childhood, thus he never gave them much to worry about.
However, they absolutely did not think that their son could have aplished so much in just a few months.
¡°He is indeed my son, born for research!¡±
Luo Zhu smacked Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder hard, then turned to Lan Ke, saying, ¡°Ke, why don¡¯t you let Bai Qi join the Tower of Knowledge? Don¡¯t waste such great talent.¡±
Lan Ke chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s not up to me, it¡¯s up to Bai Qi. There are many Tower Masters in the Six Tower who have taken a liking to Bai Qi. It¡¯s not my turn yet.¡±
At these words, Bai Yan was stunned, suddenly finding his son Bai Qi somewhat unfamiliar. A sense of guilt involuntarily rose in his heart.
Bai Qi, where¡¯s your dorm? Can you share your recent experiences with us?¡±
Hearing Bai Yan speak, Bai Qi nodded. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll take you to my secret spot. My dorm is a bit far from here.¡±
¡°A secret spot?¡±
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, but thinking of Lan Ke¡¯s mention of
Bai Qi¡¯s achievements, they were not surprised.
Let s not rush. Let¡¯s go see your dorm first.¡±
Luo Zhu declined the proposal to head straight to the secret spot and nned to leave with Bai Qi.
¡°Wait.¡±
Lan Ke stopped them, then turned to Lu Qing and said, ¡°Qing¡¯er, can you take them to the housing area and arrange amodations?¡±
¡°Sure, teacher.¡±
Lu Qing nodded silently, not refusing.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, elder brother, Luo Zhu, I can¡¯t be away for too long, so I won¡¯t apany you,¡± said Lan Ke apologetically to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu. Bai Yan shook his head and said, ¡°Businesses first, we will be fine with Bai Qi.¡± ¡°Ke, you go ahead. We can handle it ourselves.¡±
Luo Zhu waved her hand and walked to Lu Qing, saying, ¡°So you¡¯re that disciple
Ke always talks about. You¡¯re truly a beauty.¡±
¡°Madam, you¡¯re the real beauty. I can¡¯t match up.¡±
To Bai Qi¡¯s astonishment, Lu Qing didn¡¯t respond sarcastically as usual.
Instead, she ttered Luo Zhu smoothly, immediately making Luo Zhuugh heartily. The two of them disregarded Bai Qi and Bai Yan, and they walked out hand in hand like bosom friends.
¡°Hey, dad, do you think mom¡¯s been fooled by her charm?¡± asked Bai Qi, watching Lu Qing and hanging around Bai Yan.
Bai Yan, with a twitch of his lips, said, ¡°Set your mind at ease. So far no one¡¯s been able to trick your mother. Let¡¯s hope she doesn¡¯t end up tricking others.¡± Well, that¡¯s a relief,¡± sighed Bai Qi. However, Bai Yan¡¯s next words had him worried again.
¡°But knowing your mother, it¡¯s quite possible she¡¯s taken a fancy to Lu Qing.¡±
¡°What? Does mom y for that team?!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t think too much at your young age. Your mother might want Lu Qing to be her daughter-inw.¡±
Lu Qing? Daughter-inw? Sheesh, it did seem like something his mother would do.
Bai Qi: ¡°Dad, is it toote to dissociate myself from you guys?¡±
Bai Yan: ¡°Are you asking for a beating again?¡±
¡°Forget I said anything.¡±
Bai Qi sighed at the sight of the two chatty women in front and quickly changed the subject. ¡°Dad, mom said you came to retrieve some ancient biological embryo? Who exactly are you working for?¡±
Bai Yan shook his head saying, ¡°Business secret, noments.¡±
Bai Qi: ¡°Not even for your own son?¡±
Bai Yan: ¡°Aren¡¯t you the one who wanted to dissociate?¡±
Bai Qi: ¡°My bad.¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Aunt Luo, this is your room.¡±
Lu Qing pointed to the luxurious suite in front of her and smiled, ¡°I need to go to my teacher¡¯s ce. I¡¯lle back to chat with you, Aunt Luo,ter.¡±
¡°Okay, go ahead, Qing¡¯er.¡±
With a smile spread across her face, Luo Zhu looked at Lu Qing as if she were her own daughter-inw.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi felt a thump in his chest. After Lu Qing left, he rushed to Luo Zhu and said, ¡°Mom, you can¡¯t have any dangerous ideas.¡±
Luo Zhu rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Do you think your mom is a fool? If you were as dumb as your father, I might really have some ideas, but looking at you now, forgetit.¡±
Good, in case mom really goes off the deep end and tries to set them up, he wouldn¡¯t be able to face Lu Qing anymore.
¡°Okay, enough teasing, go check out your dorm. It¡¯s an excellent time to tell me what you¡¯ve been up totely.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi, along with Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, returned to his dorm. After a brief tour, Bai Qi took the two of them into his personal secret realm.
Even though they weren¡¯t Beast Masters, as high-end researchers, they had been in other people¡¯s secret realms before. But when they saw the futuristic base in front of them, they were both astonished.
¡°Son, did you build this base?¡±
Bai Yan asked somewhat uncertainly.
¡°Of course not.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and summoned his four pets and six sword servants.
¡°Schuck did the blueprint design while the Six Sword Servants executed the construction. At most, I was a supervisor.¡±
Bai Yan: ¡±???? ¡±
Looking at the ten different creatures in front of her, Luo Zhumented, ¡°Son, you¡¯ve truly surprised your mom and dad.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, I got a little luckier than most.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, then began introducing the creatures to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu.
¡°This is Alpha, my first pet. It¡¯s a speed mutant. It started as a skeleton soldier and is now the king-ss creature, the Death Sword Monarch.¡±
Bai Qi pointed to Alpha and six sword servants behind it, ¡°As for these six, they consider Alpha their overlord, but they¡¯re just high-grade Elites.¡±
¡°A servant-ss skeleton soldier was raised to king-ss?¡±
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu exchanged nces, their eyes filled with an equal measure of fanaticism.
They had heard about Bai Qi¡¯s ¡®Breaking the Void¡¯ talent from Lan Ke. It was a special and specific ability that offered little assistance to pet training andbat itself.
Yet, Bai Qi had managed to raise a skeleton soldier to the rank of king. Disregarding Bai Qi¡¯s personal factors, maybe this particr pet had a unique characteristic that allowed it to progress rapidly? It was definitely worth looking into.
Unaware of his parents¡¯ unusual reaction, Bai Qi moved on to introduce Schuck Beta.
¡°Schuck Beta was originally an Ice Wolf with a spirit mutation. It¡¯s now a Lord-level creature, the War Lord, thanks to a fortuitous encounter where it merged with something mechanical.¡±
Bai Qi pointed to Schuck Beta¡¯s two heads, ¡°This creature, however, has a split personality. It has two consciousnesses.¡±
¡°Two consciousnesses?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Luo Zhu couldn¡¯t suppress her research impulse any longer. She grabbed the two heads of the Husky and began examining them closely.
¡°Although I¡¯ve heard that super energy pets might split into different consciousness when their mental power reaches a certain bottleneck, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen one alive.¡±
Luo Zhu¡¯s eyes glistened as she kept analyzing Beta¡¯s head. Bai Yan also leaned in, ¡°The consciousness split isn¡¯t that special, but the potential research value of this mechanical skull being perfectly integrated with flesh is greater. It¡¯s a shame we don¡¯t have tools here. Otherwise, we could take a sample.¡±
¡°Exactly, if we can base our research on how metal and flesh can coexist, and investigate metallic cells, maybe mechanical prosthetics could do more than just facilitate movement.¡±
¡°And then that one over there¡¡±
Aowoo!!!
(Can I run away, human?!)
Upon hearing Bai Yan and Luo Zhu¡¯s increasingly terrifying conversation, sturdy as Beta was, it couldn¡¯t handle it anymore. If Bai Qi weren¡¯t there, it would¡¯ve run away straightaway.
¡°Notallowed, mom and dad are just joking.¡±
Bai Qi promptly intervened at the mention of experimentation. Meanwhile, Beta wore a disheartened expression.
Aowoo¡
(But I feel like¡ they¡¯re not joking¡)
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already put away all theb equipment.¡±
With a red sh in Schuck¡¯s eyes, all rooms rted to research in the base were sealed. Only then did Beta calm down.
Finally, they understood where Bai Qi got his odd ideas from ¨C it was definitely inherited!
Luckily, Bai Qi also noticed that his mom and dad¡¯s conversation was veering off track, so he quickly interjected:
¡°Ahem, Mom, Dad, how about we discuss dissection another time, let me first finish introducing my two remaining pets?¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu realized that they had gotten engrossed in their conversation and forgot about their son. They reluctantly released the husky, gave an embarrassed smile to Bai Qi, and said, ¡°Continue son, continue.¡±
Bai Qi paused for a moment, walked up to Gamma, and said, ¡°Gamma, a prototype of Slime Monster, a physical mutant, has evolved to a Lord-level Undying King.¡±
¡°Wait a minute, why are all three of your pets mutants?¡±
Unable to contain his curiosity, Bai Yan asked before Bai Qi could answer, but Luo Zhu immediately cut him off.
¡°So what if my son is lucky? Why are you talking so much? Let my son exin!¡±
Luo Zhu gave Bai Yan an angry stare, then immediately switched to a smiling expression, saying, ¡°But I¡¯m rather curious too. Son, where did you find all these mutants?¡±
Bai Qi tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Perhaps, it¡¯s just pure luck?¡±
Alpha came on its own, and even activated his Golden Finger. Husky, he had known even before Alpha, was also given to him by Zhuge Chen.
As for Gamma, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
In simple terms, it was all luck.
¡°Fine.¡±
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu exchanged nces but didn¡¯t probe further. Instead, they directed their attention to Delta, Bai Qi¡¯sst pet.
¡°What about this Ancestral Beast? Is it a mutant too?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, saying, ¡°No, Delta is a regr Ancestral Beast.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan slightly nodded. If all Bai Qi¡¯s pets were mutants, it would indeed be too much.
¡°But son, why haven¡¯t you arranged for your Ancestral Beast to undergo evolution? Do you still need time to decide?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head again and exined Delta¡¯s situation in detail to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu.
¡°Unable to maintain its evolved form?¡±
There was a sharp light in Bai Yan¡¯s eyes. He said, ¡°The gene of the Ancestral Beast is quite special. It has basically retained the state from the ancient times, which is why the Federation chose this name because it could be the ancestor of many pets.¡±
¡°But usually, after being stimted by strong external energy, the Ancestral Beast¡¯s gic sequence would make corresponding changes. It should not degenerate.¡±
Luo Zhu also looked puzzled and said, ¡°There are generally three reasons for the degeneration. First, the body is seriously injured and the body instinctively degenerates to relieve the injury; second, there are problems with the contract causing soul damage. Unable to maintain its current abilities, it will choose to degenerate on its own.¡±
¡°If your Ancestral Beast was in this situation before the contract and remains so even after the contract, it should be the third situation: inherent gic problems.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was taken aback, ¡°A gic problem? But as Delta¡¯s basic data improves, the time to maintain evolution is noticeably longer. Shouldn¡¯t it be this aspect?¡±
Luo Zhu shook her head and said, ¡°Basic data is just external. Like a leaky bucket, therger the bucket, the longer it takes to empty, but the final result is the same.¡±
¡°So, is Delta unable to continue evolving?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was a bit disappointed. It took a lot of effort to get the Space Crystal Stone, which could awaken Delta¡¯s skills. Now, it was said that Delta was doomed to be unable to evolve, which was a blow to both Bai Qi and Delta.
¡°No, as long as we can find the root cause.¡±
Bai Yan shook his head and said, ¡°Delta¡¯s evolution gene is unstable. It is either because its own gene sequence is too weak to maintain a stronger gene sequence, or it¡¯s too strong, and a regr gene sequence simply cannot change it.¡±
You just said that even without evolution, Delta can retain some space attributes, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Yes, my teacher gave some Space Crystal Fragments. After Delta absorbed them, its attacks gained space attributes.¡±
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yan said, ¡°If I¡¯m not guessing wrong, the gene sequence of your Ancestral Beast should be too strong. After each evolution, it quickly goes back to its original state. And you mentioned that the prolonging of the maintenance time due to the energy value increase, it may just forcefully slow down the restoration of the gene sequence.¡±
Listening to Bai Yan¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi and Delta felt as if alight bulb went off in their heads. It turns out that Delta wasn¡¯t too weak, but too strong all along.
Well, in that case, they need to continue working hard to find an evolved form that can break through Delta¡¯s gene sequence.
¡°But all of this is just Dad¡¯s spection. If you can, I hope you could bring Delta to myboratory for aprehensive examination.¡±
Bai Yan gently patted Delta¡¯s head, a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes. Luo Zhu also mirrored the same expression.
¡°Well, let¡¯s hold off on that for now. If I understand correctly, I just need to find an evolution form that can break Delta¡¯s gene sequence, right? That gives me a rough direction.¡±
Even though his parents were unlikely to dissect Delta, there was still a chance that someone else might want to. Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to take that risk.
Now that he understood the issue with Delta¡¯s degeneration, the problem should be easy to solve.
But his parents were making sense. He should buy aplete set of gene testing equipment and conduct a test on Delta when he gets a chance.
He¡¯s not short on money anyway ¨C

Chapter 234: Chapter 230: Reviving the Ancient Species
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi increasingly felt the need to get a set of gic equipment, no, preferably aplete set of biochemical apparatus.
Not just for the research of Gamma¡¯s evolution n, Husky¡¯s mechanical and fleshy fusion had also been idle for quite a while, so they could take this opportunity to research it as well.
Oh right, also the rune evolution n for fleshy lives, they could research that too.
Yeah, that was the n.
Bai Qi raised his head and simply told Bai Yan and Luo Zhu his ideas.
¡°You want to buy aplete set of biochemical research equipment?¡±
Luo Zhu looked at Bai Qi with some surprise, saying, ¡°Not to dampen your enthusiasm son, but the whole set, even if it¡¯s not the top-of-the-line, would still cost hundreds of millions of Federal Coins. Although your father and I have some savings, it won¡¯t be enough.¡±
Bai Yan nodded, saying, ¡°Right, although your father has some connections and could get some discounts, at most we¡¯ll only be able to buy a basic gene analyzer, which isn¡¯t very useful.¡±
¡°I think, son, you better go to your parents¡¯b. Your father is a person-in- charge now, they won¡¯t let your pet beast be used for dissection by others.¡± Upon hearing this, Bai Qi smacked his lips, saying, ¡°May I say that I¡¯m actually afraid you two will dissect Delta?¡±
Hearing this, Luo Zhu¡¯s face showed anger, saying, ¡°What kind of son doesn¡¯t trust his parents? Your mother might only collect some sample tissues¡¡± Luo Zhu¡¯s voice gradually trailed off and eventually she stopped talking.
Quite obviously, she didn¡¯t believe her own words.
¡°I can handle the money. I still have some savings.¡±
Bai Qi took out a Federation Card and handed it to Luo Zhu, saying, ¡°I have been spending quite a lottely and only have a billion left. If it¡¯s not enough, can you two help me out? I¡¯ll pay you backter.¡±
Bai Yan: ¡°¡¡±
Luo Zhu: ¡°¡¡±
Luo Zhu dumbfoundedly epted the Federation Card. After seeing a row of zeros on the card, it took her a long time to react.
¡°Son, is the Rune Evolution patent really yours?¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t you two watch the news? Wasn¡¯t it made clear at the press conference? Even if you didn¡¯t see that, Master Lan just mentioned it.¡±
A hint of an apology appeared on Bai Yan¡¯s face, saying, ¡°We were working on a big research project, and the secrecy ordinance does not allow us tomunicate with the outside world.¡±
Alright, it was the secrecy ordinance again.
¡°Son, let¡¯s not talk about the equipment for now, first tell us about your recent experiences,¡± Luo Zhu seeing this intervened, Bai Qi did not hesitate, led the two of them to the lounge, served a pile of tonics and then began recounting his adventures.
¡°¡Finally, I helped the Thirteenth Bureau get the Dual Sky Meeh, both sides got one each, after that, I just came back.¡±
Bai Qi sinctly told both of them about his experiences since his talent awakening. Most of the unimportant things were basically skipped.
Still, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu felt overwhelmed and took a while to digest everything.
¡°Simply put, son, you¡¯ve sequentially entered the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm and Law Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm in this period, incidentally bing Bai Chuanqi¡¯s disciple, and also researched two core patents in your spare time?¡±
In the end, it was Bai Yan who summarized Bai Qi¡¯s main experiences during this time.
¡°Um, it¡¯s pretty much that,¡± said Bai Qi. ¡°But the ie from the core patents is not yet fully stabilized. It should be all good after the unveiling of the Rune Tier 2 Evolution, I just didn¡¯t expect that Master Lan would move so fast. I was nning to perfect the Spirit Power Storage Device first.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s somewhat regretful demeanor, Luo Zhu and Bai Yan looked at each other.
They say that children surpass their parents, but their own son seemed to have not only surpassed them, but also traversed realms!
The two of them remained silent for a long time and finally, they silently epted Bai Qi¡¯s Federation Card, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll contact you as soon as the equipment is in ce. However, Biochemistry is also a big topic. Since you haven¡¯t dealt with it before, it would be better if we could help you study it when both of us are free.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Not using the two experts in his family would indeed be foolish. If nothing else worked, he could always have them tutor him.
¡°By the way, what was that about the Ancient Biological Embryo, mom mentioned earlier? Was it also found in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm?¡±
The only time he encountered an ancient species was in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm. Now that his parents came to the association for a handover, the probabilities seemed quite high.
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s query, Bai Yan¡¯s lips immediately tightened, while Luo Zhu nodded without concern, saying, ¡°Yes, the association found it and asked us to research it.¡±
¡°Zhu, you¡¯re viting the secrecy ordinance,¡± Bai Yan frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Luo Zhu¡¯s behavior.
¡°What¡¯s there to fear, he is our son. Besides, this is his realm, there are no surveince or recording devices here.¡±
Er¡?
(Schuck, did you record that?)
Schuck, ¡°What do you think¡¡±
Seeing Schuck¡¯s reaction, Bai Yan didn¡¯t argue anymore. He could only grab the juice in front of him and start drinking, while Luo Zhu continued to exin to Bai Qi, ¡°There was a living Ancient Species at the Association before, but these Ancient Species seem to be unable to adapt to the current external environment, they all died as soon as they left the Secret Realm.¡±
¡°Fortunately, the Ancient people¡¯s preserved embryos were fairly intact, and theplete genes of the Ancient Species were also extracted from some fossils, leaving us a path to revival.¡±
¡°Revive the Ancient Species?¡±
Upon hearing his mother¡¯s words, Bai Qi was somewhat shocked.
To this day, countless pet beasts had evolved and been eliminated. There had even been several extinctions of pet beasts in the Federation¡¯s history. But these events were not publicised because the reasons were somewhatughable.
After all, it was hardly credible that a species could be eaten into extinction.
And now, his parents wanted to revive an Ancient Species?
Were they nning on opening a Jurassic Park? Oh no, it should be called the Original Era Park here?
¡°Yes, our consortium has always beenmitted to researching the ancient genes hidden in the bloodline of pet beasts and finding scientific solutions to resurrect mythical creatures. Reviving the Ancient Species is just a milestone task.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just that we hadn¡¯t found a suitable embryonic carrier before. Now that we¡¯ve found intact embryos, naturally, we can¡¯t let it slip.¡±
Luo Zhu nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you chose Mechanical Engineering. With your smart brain, you might have already found a way to resurrect them by now.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°Mom, you have too much faith in me. If you ask me to fix two machines, I might be able to do it. But researching gene resurrection of Ancient Species¡¡±
Bai Qi was interrupted by a sudden thought. He turned to look at Delta, who had already started training for a new day, and asked, ¡°Mom and Dad, what would happen if we put an Ancient Species¡¯ genes into an Ancestral Beast?¡±
Bai Yan was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately shook his head, saying, ¡°We¡¯ve tried Ancestral Beasts, and they can¡¯t carry the genes of an Ancient Species. After all, the fact Ancestral Beasts can still survive until now, their gene strength can¡¯t¡¡±
¡°Gene strength?!¡±
Bai Yan abruptly stopped speaking and looked at Delta outside the window. Luo Zhu also reacted and said, ¡°The genes of an Ancient Species are generally stronger than those of current creatures, so it¡¯s hard to find a suitable embryonic carrier. So, what if we did the opposite and weakened the genes of the Ancient Species first?¡±
¡°It¡¯s embarrassing that we hadn¡¯t thought of such a simple method.¡±
Realizing they had overlooked such an uplicated strategy, Bai Yanughed at himself. Luo Zhu¡¯s gaze on Bai Qi, however, became even more approving.
¡°As expected of my brilliant son, who solved a tough problem in minutes. Why don¡¯t you change your major? Switch to biology. With your parents¡¯ help, you¡¯ll catchup quickly.¡±
Bai Qi helplessly sighed and said, ¡°Mom, spare me. I¡¯m already studying mechanical and rune engineering. If I start studying biology too, your son will keel over.¡±
¡°True, you¡¯ve already achieved a lot in these two fields. There¡¯s no need to divide your attention.¡±
Seeming somewhat regretful, Luo Zhu nodded and didn¡¯t insist anymore.
¡± But I think what you were talking about sounds fun. Can you take me to see these Ancient Species genes and stuff?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t tried to make Delta evolve into an Ancient Species yet. That could be an interesting route to explore.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Yan was silent for a moment, looked at Delta again, then finally nodded, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see if an Ancestral Beast can really carry the genes of an Ancient Species.¡±
¡°Great!¡±
Upon hearing his dad agree with his idea, Bai Qi was both surprised and excited.
The Ancient Species¡ just look at that saber-toothed tiger. Even with it being malnourished and limited by a ve contract, it still showed such power. If Delta could evolve into a simr form, it would be a big gain. At worst, even if it de-evolved back, the data the Ancient Species could provide should still be more than that from other creatures. Even just elerating Delta¡¯s basic data umtion would be good.
Agreeing instantly, the three of them immediately left the Secret Realm with Delta and headed straight for the Moon Night Tower.
Although the Ancient embryos were well-preserved, they were, after all, no longer in their original Secret Realm. To avoid issues like those the Ancient Species had, the Association had transported all the embryos to the Moon Night Tower for protection.
In short, embryo preservation.
After a series of checks, Bai Qi finally arrived at the ce where the Ancient Species embryos were being stored.
At the same time, he also ran into some familiar faces.
¡°Uncle Chun, Feng Ye? What are you guys doing here?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see Feng Ye carefully moving a pile of fossils.
¡°Bai Qi?¡±
Feng Ye was also somewhat taken aback. Chun Yushui, who was standing next to him, chuckled after a nce at Bai Yan and Luo Zhu beside Bai Qi, ¡°I was wondering why Bai Qi looked familiar, turns out it¡¯s Xiao Bai¡¯s kid!¡±
Xiao Bai?
Bai Qi was startled and couldn¡¯t help but look at Bai Yan, who had a slight twitch in the corner of his eye, suddenly trying to hold back augh.
My dad¡¯s nickname is Xiao Bai?
I gottaugh for a bit¡

Chapter 235: Chapter 231: Heading Towards the Ancient Species!
Trantor: 549690339 ,
Seeing Bai Qi trying not tough, Bai Yan also felt somewhat helpless and forced a smile, ¡°Teacher Chun, you still like to joke as much as ever.¡±
Chun Yushui chuckled, ¡°When you were a student, you were quite clueless. Yet you raised such a clever son ¨C all I can say is that Luo Zhu¡¯s genes are powerful.¡±
Ahem¡ Teacher Chun, let¡¯s discuss serious matters.¡±
Bai Yan gave a small cough to change the topic, and Bai Qi curiously asked, ¡°Uncle Chun, you were my father¡¯s teacher?¡±
Chun Yushui nodded, ¡°Sort of, I taught at the university for a year or two but then I quit.¡±
¡°Why did you quit a decent job?¡±
Bai Qi smelled gossip brewing and became increasingly curious.
¡°Nothing much, I drank too much, skipped too many sses, so I simply didn¡¯t go anymore.¡±
Chun Yushui took another swig from a bottle of wine, his face full of satisfaction, ¡°The club is much morefortable, without all those annoying rules.¡± ¡ã
Quit because of drinking too much and forgetting to attend sses?
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly. Despite the short time he had known Chun Yushui, this did seem like something Chun Yushui would do.
¡°Teacher Chun, how are the embryos and the genes of the ancient species preserved?¡±
Luo Zhu rushed straight to the point, asking about the ancient species embryos right away.
Chun Yushui gestured towards Feng Ye, who was in the process of handling fossils, ¡°The embryos were preserved by Moon Night Tower. As for the genes, there you go, thest batch of fossils are right here. If anything gets damaged¡¯ just talk to him.¡± ¡¯
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye stiffened and nearly dropped the fossil in his hands, ¡®Master Chun, are you selling out your own brother?¡±
Chun Yushui shrugged his shoulders, took another sip from his bottle of wine and chose not to reply. Feng Ye could only ept his fate. He utilized an Earth Elemental to continue moving the fossils, but he was even more cautious.
Having run around with Chun Yushui for so long, he knew very well that if he really did damage these fossils, Chun Yushui was fully capable of making him take the fall.
Of course, he would also help him bounce back afterwards andpensate him extravagantly.
Chun Yushui sized up Bai Qi, who was curiously examining the fossils, and asked, ¡°Speaking of which, Xiao Bai, Xiao Zhu, did you bring Bai Qi here because you n to introduce him to the field of biology?¡±
Bai Yan shook his head, ¡°Bai Qi is already involved in too many fields. It¡¯s not suitable to distract him further. He just had a thought, so we brought him along to corroborate.¡±
¡°Oh, you should really give it a try then. I¡¯ve seen how this kid thinks.¡±
Chun 1 Yushui¡¯s eyes lit up at Bai Yan¡¯s words, showing his absolute confidence in Bai Qi, while Feng Ye also disyed interest, ¡°Bai Qi, what are you working
As Bai Qi was about to reply, Feng Ye was kicked away by Chun Yushui.
¡°Go back to work. I¡¯m waiting to finish the handover and have a proper drink.¡±
Chun Yushui swished his empty bottle with a displeased face. Feng Ye reluctantly ran back to work.
Bad luck! If not for the generouspensation, could he handle this?
Alright, we¡¯ll take Bai Qi to visit the cultivation room first, and Teacher Chun please feel free.¡±
Anxious to experiment with thepatibility issue of the Ancestral Beasts and the ancient species, Bai Yan didn¡¯t feel like chatting further with Chun Yushui. Chun Yushui, having finished his wine, seemed somewhat listless and waved them off before going to urge Feng Ye back to work.
As Bai Qi watched Feng Ye, who looked rather pitiful, he offered a sympathetic gaze, then followed Bai Yan and Luo Zhu towards the cultivation room.
Compared to Chun Yushui, Old Qin seemed like a benevolent leader.
Once the trio reached the cultivation room, they saw several people dressed in Moon Night Tower uniforms busily transferring sealed metal boxes. Those who liaised with them were researchers dressed in whiteb coats. The logo on their chests, a ck and white bear, was faintly visible.
¡°Dad, Mum, are you researchers for the Jiuli Group?¡±
Bai Qi recognized the logo of the Jiuli Group at a nce. Bai Yan, seeing no reason to hide it anymore, replied, ¡°Yes, your mother and I have been working for the Jiuli Group for years. Our research involves patents, so we never mentioned it to you.¡±
Fulfilling his puzzlement, Bai Qi thought, no wonder his parents never mentioned their work ¨C it was because it involved patents.
Alright, stop pretending in front of our son. You¡¯ve been researching for so long without producing any core patents, and our son already has two.¡±
Luo Zhu bluntly criticized Bai Yan. Bai Yan showed a bitter smile, without any power to refute.
Well, there wasn¡¯t any point in denying it ¨C after all, Bai Qi¡¯s core patents were indeed very impressive.
¡°Let¡¯s go. Thebs here at Moon Night Tower are just as good as those at headquarters. Let¡¯s go there for our research.¡±
Luo Zhu grabbed Bai Qi and headed straight for the researchb. Along the way, the researchers of the Jiuli Group respectfully nodded their heads to Luo Zhu, clearly indicating her status.
Upon entering theb, Bai Qi saw a row of fossil eggs neatly lined up on a machine simr to an incubator. As soft light was projected from above the machine, a screen nearby clearly disyed the fossils¡¯ conditions.
¡®These machines stabilize the activity of the embryos. Considering you will likely be venturing frequently into secret realms in the future, you might consider getting one.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. If the revival technology of the Jiuli Group for ancient species could indeed be implemented, he would need to keep an eye out for fossils in future secret realms. Even if he didn¡¯t revive them himself, selling them to the Jiuli Group would be very profitable.
Of course, the precondition was that these fossils hadn¡¯t deactivated.
¡°Leader Bai, Leader Luo.¡±
Upon seeing the three of them, a researcher from the Jiuli Group approached saying, ¡°The stabilization and transfer of the embryo will take a few more days. Leaders, you don¡¯t have to keeping over. Consider it a vacation.¡±
Bai Yan smiled and said, ¡°Forget about vacation, we finally found the embryo fossils. We should at least wait until the research ispleted.¡±
¡°Leader Bai, you really are¡¡±
The researcher sighed helplessly and didn¡¯t say anything more.
In the entire Jiuli Group, if anyone spoke of dedication, Bai Yan and his wife ranked second, with nobody daring to im the first ce. If these two offered to take a break one day, it would actually feel strange.
¡°By the way, who is this?¡±
The researcher quickly noticed Bai Qi and, seeing his facial resemnce to the two, asked, ¡°Who is this?¡±
¡°My son. He is currently undergoing training at the association, so we brought him here to have a look,11 nc replied.
Luo Zhu said, ¡°By the way, do we have any unpackaged gic tissue and emptyboratories? We have some ideas we want to try.¡±
¡°Yes, gics tissue has just been extracted from a damaged fossil egg and hasn¡¯t been packaged yet.¡±
The researcher picked up a metal box from the side, pointed at aboratory not far away, and said, ¡°Thatboratory over there is temporarily vacant. Leaders you can use that one first.¡±
¡°Ok.¡±
Luo Zhu nodded, then took the box from the researcher and headed straight for theb. Bai Yan and Bai Qi also quickly followed her without hesitation.
Watching the departing figures of the three, the researcher who wanted to help shrugged helplessly.
This kind of work pace could only be maintained by such a couple. But this time they probably wanted to show their son, so it was not a pity if they couldn¡¯t participate.
Speaking of which, it seemed that the association had produced a freak named Bai recently. Could it be their son?
The three walked into theb and changed intob uniforms. Luo Zhu then opened the metal box to reveal a slender bone.
¡°Had it begun to hatch when it was preserved? No wonder it became deactivated.¡±
Bai Yan looked at the bone in Luo Zhu¡¯s hand with some regret and said, ¡°Judging by its appearance, it should be the spinal bone of a pterosaur. Maybe we can extract some useful genes.¡±
¡°Perfect. The strength of this failed hatching gene is moderate, which makes it the best experimental material.¡±
Luo Zhu was very satisfied with these materials. Turning to Bai Qi, she said, ¡°Son, why don¡¯t we try extracting some tissue from your Ancestral Beast to cultivate it?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and replied, ¡°No need, let¡¯s let Delta try it.¡±
Gic matters couldn¡¯t trigger evolution like other elements using energy.
But Bai Qi still wanted to give it a try.
If they could evolve directly, the effect would be much more vivid than tissue culture.
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, watching as Bai Qi summoned Delta after cing the bone on Delta, they chose to respect their son¡¯s opinions. But they didn¡¯t seem very hopeful.
Genes could be considered the deepest parts of a creature. Stimting effects just by external contact was highly unrealistic.
Bai Qi was still a novice in the biological field and didn¡¯t fully understand this yet.
¡°It seems it¡¯s not working.¡±
Indeed, as expected by Bai Yan and his wife, the mere bone fossil didn¡¯t trigger Delta¡¯s evolution. There wasn¡¯t even a slight change.
¡°Son, wouldn¡¯t it be better to extract some tissue for cultivation so that we can see the result more clearly?¡± Luo Zhu said, walking towards him.
Luo Zhu walked forward, intending to let Bai Qi give up this unscientific method. However, she saw Bai Qi summoning Alpha, picked up the bone again, and ced it onto Delta.
¡°No, the aura of undead creatures will destroy the viability of the fossils, so¡¡± Seeing Alpha appear, Bai Yan was about to stop him when suddenly the Evolution Light on Delta interrupted his words.
Was it actually evolving?
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other in disbelief. Unexpectedly, Delta really could evolve. Bai Qi, on the other hand, nodded satisfactorily.
It turned out that only Alpha, an undead creature with skeleton maniption capabilities, could draw out the energy aura hidden within the bones.
He just wondered what kind of form Delta would evolve into next-
Chapter 236 - 232: Sea, Land, and Air All-Around Mount
Chapter 236: Chapter 232: Sea, Land, and Air All-Around Mount
Trantor: 549690339
Perhaps due to the root of the evolution being from an Ancient Species, Delta¡¯s evolution took longer than usual, causing Bai Qi to grow expectant.
If Delta could directly evolve into an Ancient Species, that would be great, aspared to the body of an Ancestral Beast, an Ancient Species had an absolute advantage.
Under Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, Delta¡¯s body finally began to change. Its form visibly erged at a noticeable speed, gradually exceeding the containment range of theb.
Luckily this was the Moon Night Tower. As soon as it sensed the changes in theb, the tower¡¯s protective mechanism was immediately activated, expanding the initially average office-sizedb into a broad square.
The Moon Night Tower was regrly called upon to treat injured pet beasts, among which there were some Giant Species, so this sort of ergement was regarded as a basic feature.
With enough room to function, Delta¡¯s evolution was able to continue. Arge winged dragon with a wingspan that was over twenty meters long appeared before Bai Qi and his group.
¡°Such an enormous wingspan, could it be the Wind God Winged Dragon?¡±
Bai Yan appraised Delta, a touch of fanaticism shing in his eyes.
They hadn¡¯t thought that an Ancestral Beast could indeed evolve into an Ancient Species. With this, their subsequent research had clearly found a direction.
Bai Qi looked at the giant creature before him and instinctively started keeping time, while asking, ¡°Delta, how are you feeling?¡±
Blorp, blorp.
(Delta can¡¯t quite exin, but it seems a bit different from normal.)
¡°A bit different?¡±
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. When it came to evolving, Delta was considered experienced, but Bai Qi had never heard Delta mention any feelings of being different.
Could it be that it really evolved?
A spark red in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes as he immediately ced his hand over Delta.

¡°Is this¡a dual panel?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Delta¡¯s rather peculiar attribute panel with surprise, unable toprehend what it meant for a while.
During Delta¡¯s previous evolutions, although its appearance would change, when Bai Qi checked its attributes, the data still showed the Ancestral Beast. The current situation where two sets of data were disyed simultaneously was unprecedented.
¡°So, can we consider this a sessful evolution?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, trying toe up with a viable exnation, yet Delta seemed to understand its current situation before him. It voluntarily reverted back to its Ancestral Beast form. Then, before Bai Qi could react, it once again transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon.
¡°Delta, you can control your transformations now?!¡±
Blorp, blorp.
(It seems so, but it appears I can only control this one form.)
Hearing Delta¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi¡¯s heart started beating rapidly.
He had originally intended to train Delta into a Hexagonal Warrior, managing to act as an evolved all-around warrior by utilizing its ability to evolve anytime, anywhere ording to the environment.
Even more so, Bai Qi had thought about having Delta carry a bunch of evolution materials in order to aid its evolution.
But it seems that won¡¯t be necessary now?
¡°Mom, Dad, can you find me some more Ancient Species genes? Preferably of different types.¡±
Looking at Delta¡¯s dual panel reappearance and the first appearance of a new skill in its skill column, Bai Qi¡¯s heartbeat elerated once again.
¡°Oh, okay.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, who were looking to examine the Wind God Winged Dragon, were taken aback at first, then obediently set off to find different Ancient Species genes as Bai Qi had requested, as if they were fresh recruits.
¡°Son, are these enough?¡±
Before long, Luo Zhu came in pushing a cart full of metal boxes. Unlike the box that held the Wind God Winged Dragon, these were clearly marked with the gene types they contained.
¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, casually picking up a metal boxbeled Titan Python, extracting the fossilized skeleton inside, and once again had Alpha stimte the energy within and gave it to Delta.
Under the astonished and curious gazes of Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, Delta evolved once again, revealing a horrifyinglyrge python.

There was a whole new data, and the panel of the Wind God Winged Dragon hadn¡¯t vanished. It had been retained along with the new data.
¡°Delta, can you switch between the two forms?¡±
As he observed Delta¡¯s increasinglyplicated attribute board, Bai Qi¡¯s smile grew brighter.
Bloop Bloop.
(Delta will give it a try.)
Delta carefully moved his massive body, avoiding damage to the surroundings. The Evolution Light on him shed again, as he transformed directly into the Wind God Winged Dragon!
¡°We¡¯re really taking off this time!¡±
Bai Qi swung his fist with vigor, while Bai Yan and Luo Zhu behind him were astounded.
The ability to switch freely between forms exceeded the shackles of ordinary biological theories. If they could study the principle and universalize it¡
A hint of fervor surfaced on the faces of Bai Yan and Luo Zhu again. However, seeing Bai Qi, who was ecstatic while testing other ancient species genes with Delta, they repressed this idea simultaneously.
This discovery could indeed benefit humankind, but correspondingly, it could also put Bai Qi in danger.
After all, the ability to freely evolve wasn¡¯t just attractive to humans.
Before Bai Qi had enough capacity to protect himself, it was better not to publicize it.
Suddenly, Bai Qi had attempted all the skeletal fossils Luo Zhu brought. Delta, who was out of energy after consecutive evolutions, was panting heavily on the ground, utterly unable to move.
However, the overall gains were quite great.
¡°So it can only retain three evolution forms at a time. I was indeed slightly greedy.¡±
He originally thought of letting Delta record all the ancient species evolution forms, transforming it into a living encyclopedia of ancient species. But upon the evolution of the fourth form, the initial Wind God Winged Dragon form was immediately reced.
Subsequent attempts by Bai Qi ended simrly.
However, Bai Qi and Delta discovered the reason for Delta maintaining these three forms of evolution.
It was the Heart of Evolution.
This skill, which had been overlooked by Bai Qi from the beginning, finally started to show its abilities after Delta absorbed the genes of the ancient species. ording to Delta¡¯s exnation, the energy from the ancient species he absorbed seemed to have been stored by the Heart of Evolution. His ability to switch between forms was also due to the Heart of Evolution.
¡°Although it can only store three forms for now, at least we¡¯ve found a direction for our research.¡±
Even though the Golden Egg still couldn¡¯t show the upgrade n for high- stage skills, Bai Qi believed as long as his level or the Evolution Egg¡¯s level is upgraded, it would be just a matter of time.
But speaking of gene strength, the Sky Peng is also of King-level and even a Space Department type. Why didn¡¯t Delta keep it?
Could it be because it didn¡¯t interact with the actual body tissues, or it wasn¡¯t ancient and strong enough?
¡°Let¡¯s choose three frequently usedbat forms first.¡±
Looking at the frankly messy gene storage boxes around him, Bai Qi thought for a moment, selected the forms he desired, and reced the three forms stored in the Heart of Evolution.
[Name]: Ancestral Beast (Delta)/ Wind God Winged Dragon/ Diamond Ape/ Dragon Horned Whale
[Nature]: None/Wind Department/Ground System/Water Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord/Low-level King/Low-level King/Low-level King
[Level]: Second Stage, Sixth level
[Skills]: Savage Charge (Mid-level ¨C Awakened), Heart of Evolution (High-level ¨C wless) / Hurricane Control (High-level ¨C Beginner) / Diamond Body (High-level ¨C Beginner) / Dark Stream Impact (High-level ¨C Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 81000
[Condition]: Evolvable
There were quite a few ancient species forms that Bai Qi found desirable, but after weighing Delta¡¯s sustaining time and functionality, he chose these three.
He now had a set of air,nd, and sea forms, equivalent to having all transportation methods. He wouldn¡¯t have to worry about traffic jams when going out in the future.
Having achieved his lifelong aspiration, Bai Qi felt unusually refreshed. It was only when he saw Bai Yan and Luo Zhu silently watching him that he remembered the purpose of his visit.
¡°Ahem, Mom, Dad, I¡¯ve done the testing for you. The Ancestral Beast can indeed carry the genes of ancient organisms, um, yes, that¡¯s it¡ ¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s awkward expression, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu couldn¡¯t help butugh.
It was a pity they couldn¡¯t research Delta, but Bai Qi¡¯s series of experiments just now fully demonstrated the possibility of their n to revive ancient species using the Ancestral Beast. However, the specific feasibility would need to be verified after they returned to the Jiuli Group.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect the problem that has troubled us for so long to be solved by my lovely son. Maybe you could win the core patent of biology before us.¡±
Luo Zhu looked at Bai Qi with a yful smile, she found him satisfying. Even Bai Yan, who always had a stern face, was smiling now. He said, ¡°Your dad will help you purchase theplete set of biochemical research equipment soon. After your parents have confirmed the feasibility of reviving ancient species with Ancestral Beasts, I wille back to supplement your basic knowledge in biology.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure about your method of Beast Master research, but your Ancestral Beast is very special and indeed involves a gic level. So, son, if you want to fully utilize Delta¡¯s abilities, it¡¯s better to learn some biology.¡±
He has to study, huh¡
After hearing Bai Yan¡¯s statement, Bai Qi scratched his head helplessly, but he didn¡¯t refuse.
Well, he¡¯ll study anyway. No matter how much he learns, it will still be the same with Schuck around, right?
Arrah?
(Schuck, I sense that humans are scheming against you again.)
¡°As expected¡¡±

Trantor: 549690339 |
Bai Qi found another path to strengthen Delta, while Mr. and Mrs. Bai Yan had found a way to revive the ancient species. The trio, with their bursting research enthusiasm, finished a harmonious family dinner together. Then, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu boarded a flying vehicle to return to the Jiuli Group.
As Bai Qi watched his parents leave, Uncle Chun Yushui suddenly ran out from somewhere, looking at the gradually disappearing flying vehicle, and said, ¡°Still as urgent as ever, they¡¯re still young and full of energy.¡±
¡°Uncle Chun, weren¡¯t you going out for a drink?¡±
Bai Qi turned to look at Chun Yushui, who waved his hand disdainfully and said, ¡°The chefs here at the association are getting worse and worse. There¡¯s no one who can brew decent liquor, so I¡¯ll just go somewhere else to find a drink.¡±
¡°By the way, where¡¯s Cha? I couldn¡¯t find him after hanging around his dormitory for quite a long time.¡±
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and then said, ¡°Cha should be attending his sses these past few days. Uncle Chun, why not go to the assembly hall and look for him?¡±
¡°The assembly hall, huh¡ I think I¡¯d rather not. I always feel a headacheing on when I see that Zhang Shan fellow.¡±
Chun Yushui took a few hurried sips of his alcohol, saying, ¡°I originally nned to have a good tease with Cha, but it seems there¡¯s no chance now.¡±
¡°Uncle Chun, are you leaving?¡±
Bai Qi was a bit curious, saying, ¡°Hasn¡¯t the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm already finished its follow-up research?¡±
Chun Yushui smiled and said, ¡°Kid, we are the most professional archaeological team in the association. There¡¯s no such thing as rest. This time we managed to rest for a while longer due to the handover with the Jiuli Group.¡±
¡°There have been traces of arge secret realm appearing recently in Federation West, so I need to go there earlier to verify it. I am about to leave.¡±
Chun Yushui patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, ¡°Study hard. Who knows, the old man may throw you over there one day.¡±
¡°Uh¡ probably not.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyelids twitched slightly. Although the secret realm might yield some significant gains, there were just too many things he needed to attend to recently. He really didn¡¯t have time for a secret realm right now.
There were still issues to be improved on the runes and circuit conversion of the Spirit Power Storage Device. The structure of mentalmunication of the Spirit-Control Orb needed to be redesigned. Concurrently, sessful contract rates and storage issues after the contracting beasts were also to be dealt with.
On the pet side, Schuck¡¯s weapon system needed improvements. Purchasing spirit power materials also needed to be put on the schedule. Gamma¡¯s resistances other than light resistance also needed to be addressed sooner. Now, there was also the ancient species, Delta, which required time.
In addition to that, there was the analysis of the White Meeh and a major examination a monthter. All these activities required a significant amount of time. Bai Qi was feeling a tingling sensation in his scalp just by thinking about it.
¡°Once all these matters are sorted out, only then will I consider going out!¡±
Bai Qi silently nned out the uing tasks, waved goodbye to Chun Yushui, and directly returned to his secret realm.
Earlier in the researchb at Moon Night Tower, he had not been able to test Delta¡¯s skills in the three forms. Therefore, the urgent challenge was to let Delta be familiar with those skills.
After Bai Qi left, Feng Ye, who had finally finished transferring all the fossils, hurriedly came over and said, ¡°Uncle Chun, where¡¯s Bai Qi? I recently came up with a new tactic that could definitely defeat him.¡±
¡°He¡¯s gone. He just left a second before you arrived.¡±
Chun Yushui pointed towards the spot where Bai Qi had disappeared. Feng Ye pped his forehead regretfully, saying, ¡°Damn, I¡¯ll have to wait until tomorrow to find Bai Qi then.¡±
¡°No need. There¡¯s information about another secret realm emerging in the west. We need to leave soon to investigate, or else we¡¯ll be outstripped by the Thirteenth Bureau again.¡±
¡°Now?¡±
¡°Right now.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t we wait a bit?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Boss, you might as well kill me then.¡±
¡°Alright, how do you want to die¡?¡±
Secret Realm Base.
Newbat room.
Due to the previous battle between Alpha and Schuck, Bai Qi had instructed the Six Sword Servants to rebuild argerbat room. They also installed an updated defense system and data collection system. The room waspleted just two days ago and could now be used to test Delta¡¯s three new skills.
Bai Qi summoned Delta, saying, ¡°Delta, try using the Wind God Winged Dragon¡¯s Hurricane Control first.¡±
Ploop, Ploop.
(Okay.)
Delta nodded, immediately focused its spirit, and activated the Heart of Evolution. In an instant, it transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon with its hugely spread wings.
At the same time, four hurricanes appeared around the Wind God Winged Dragon and began circling it.
¡°Given this wind force, ordinary attacks probably couldn¡¯t even get close to Delta, could they?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the data on the instrument, nodded in satisfaction, and said, ¡°Can you control these hurricanes to attack, Delta?¡±
Ploop, Ploop.
(I should be able to, but I can¡¯t control it very well for now.)
As soon as the words fell, Delta was forced to devolve back to its form as an Ancestral Beast¡ªits energy had evidently been exhausted.
Tsk¡ even with such highpatibility, it¡¯s still a King-level creature. Once the skills are activated, Delta¡¯s energy seems somewhat overwhelmed.¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly and directly summoned Gamma, saying, ¡°Gamma, go charge Delta.¡±
Kapoop,kapoop.
(Okay, master.)
Gamma obediently swayed her body before hopping directly onto Delta. Green light constantly flowed into Delta. Delta, who was previously immobilized due to energy exhaustion, suddenly sprung back to life.
¡°Sure is convenient to have a power bank.¡±
Bai Qi grinned, increasingly pleased with Gamma¡¯s energy diversion skill.
¡°Let¡¯s try that one more time.¡±
Gurgle gurgle!
(Okay!)
With Gamma supplying energy, Delta once again transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon. The four tornados swirling around her gradually merged into one and rushed towards the target on the other end of the battlefield.
Although Delta was only at Level Two, the Wind God Winged Dragon was a genuine King-level entity. The tornado¡¯s destructive force was considerable. The target was torn into countless fragments merely by a touch from the tornado.
¡°Its destructive power is alright, good enough to be useful.¡±
While checking the destructive force value reported by the system, Bai Qi nodded approvingly. Although it was a simple wind attribute attack, it was another effective offensive tactic.
¡°Delta, let¡¯s test the effect of a normal attack.¡±
As Bai Qi pressed a button on the control panel, a massive dog-head target lifted from the floor. Seeing this, Delta spread her wings and immediately appeared right in front of the target. She grabbed at it, reducing the target to fragments.
¡°Is Delta¡¯s speed faster than before?¡±
Watching Delta¡¯s attack movements, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Although Delta could previously transform into various forms, her speed and power remained the same as they were when she was an Ancestral Beast. That was why Bai Qi focused on improving the Ancestral Beast¡¯s basic data¡ªto prevent ack of data affectingbat effectiveness after evolution.
But now, Delta seemed to show signs of surging past regr data. This made Bai Qi suspicious.
¡°Could the Ancient Species grant attribute bonuses?¡±
Watching Delta¡¯s rapid flights and continuous target strikes within the battlefield, Bai Qi immediately signaled Delta to return. ¡°Delta, can you sense changes in your own attributes?¡±
Delta tilted her head in confusion, unable to articte a response.
¡°Forget about it¡ªa boost is always better than none.¡±
Upon seeing Delta¡¯s state, Bai Qi did not press further and said, ¡°Delta, switch to the form of the Diamond Ape.¡±
Delta obeyed and transformed from the Wind God Winged Dragon to the Diamond Ape.
In contrast to the Wind God Winged Dragon with its overlyrge wings, the Diamond Ape¡¯s proportions were bnced. Its towering body and the clear cut muscles, resembling solid rock, showcased the Diamond Ape¡¯s immense strength.
¡°Delta, use Body of the Diamond Ape.¡±
Facing the towering Diamond Ape standing about five meters tall, Bai Qi got straight to the point. Delta activated Body of the Diamond Ape. After some thought, he decided to also summon Alpha.
¡°Alpha, have a match with Delta. Don¡¯t use any skills.¡±
Click ck click ck.
(Alright, boss.)
Alpha nodded, fixing her gaze on Delta, who was noticeably taller.
Under Alpha¡¯s stare, Delta, although towering over her, inexplicably felt as if she were being looked down upon.
Lacking the essential skills of Intimidation from the Ancestral Beast form and the Domain Skills of the Diamond Ape King-level form, Delta¡¯s basic data values may not be inferior. However, she was at a disadvantage in terms of spiritual level.
But Delta quickly overcame this illusion¡ªher strong will to fightpletely covered her soul¡¯s fear. Activating the Body of the Diamond Ape, sheunched the first attack on Alpha.
Suddenly, a golden glow enveloped her body. The previously pitch-ck Delta instantly transformed into a golden giant ape. Wielding her huge fists she struck at Alpha.
Seeing this, Alpha¡¯s right arm immediately morphed into a Bone Shield. She forcibly blocked Delta¡¯s punch, and her body shook almost imperceptibly.
¡°As expected, has Delta¡¯s power been enhanced since she evolved into a Diamond Ape?¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly. Two consecutive Ancient Species had experienced data growth. This was definitely no coincidence.
However, it didn¡¯t only appear to be simple data enhancement, but data deviation.
Was Delta changing from a hexagonal fighter to a six-pointed star fighter?
¡°Alpha, try and see Delta¡¯s data limits.¡±
Upon receiving instructions, Alpha immediately switched from defense to offense. Her arm transformed into a Bone de and she shed at Delta.
Although Delta¡¯s Diamond Ape form was quiterge, she didn¡¯tck in speed and managed to avoid the attack skilfully.
Even higher-level beings found it a headache to deal with Alpha¡¯s speed. And for Delta, who was a couple of levels lower, this was even more challenging. After evading the first attack, Alpha¡¯s second and third attacks soon followed. Finally, after being stalked closely by Alpha for a bit, Delta was hit directly. But there was a crisp sound, and the strike from Alpha¡¯s Bone de was deflected by the Body of the Diamond Ape.
After finally being caught by Alpha, Delta decided to forego dodging altogether. While enduring Alpha¡¯s attacks, she swung her fists wildly at Alpha. Though not as fast as Alpha, where her arm movements had be invisible, Delta was ferocious and quick.
¡°Not bad, not bad. Both speed and defense are decent.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Delta had improved in attack, agility, and defense. Combined with the space attribute, her output might be stronger than the Wind God Winged Dragon¡¯s.
Oh no, the Wind God Winged Dragon could probably use the space attribute too.
All in all, each had its own appeal.

Trantor: 549690339
Both at the king level, the temporarily evolved Delta, even with Gamma¡¯s assistance, was gradually showing signs of decline. Both its attack frequency and attack power were gradually decreasing. In the end, he simply regressed. Bloop. Bloop.
(Master, Alpha is too strong. Delta is no match.)
Seeing Delta willingly admitting his defeat, Bai Qi was very satisfied and said, ¡°Good, being able to confront Alpha for so long means that the ancient species form is also strong. Your next task is to rapidly raise your level and enhance your energy value.¡±
Although relying on the Heart of Evolution allowed us to choose the evolutionary form, current tests showed that the consumption of energy value was extremely terrifying when skills were used, even if we did not use abilities. Although Gamma, therge power bank, was there, it wasn¡¯t a long-term solution. It was still necessary to quickly increase Delta¡¯s level as soon as possible.
By then, he would give Delta the Space Crystal Stone and fully awaken Delta¡¯s Savage Charge. Thebat power should be able to further improve.
¡°I understand the general situation, and thest Dragon Horned Whale requires water to fully demonstrate its power, so we won¡¯t try it for now.¡± Bai Qi looked at Gamma, whose energy value was also significantly exhausted, and didn¡¯t want to continue. He equipped each of the four pets with a Golden Egg, then returned to the dormitory, took a swig of the Phantom Spirit Potion, and fell fast asleep.
Aftering back this time, he did not rest well. Bai Qi was really a bit overtaxed.
The following week, Bai Qi¡¯s schedule became exceptionally simple.
In the morning, he went to the Tower of Knowledge library to study runes. In the afternoon, he idled about with the White Meeh Analysis Team. In the evening, he would devote himself to perfecting the Spirit Power Storage System and the Spirit-Control Orb.
From time to time, he squeezed out some time to earn some points from big-point holders like Zhou Yan, or just showed up in ss for attendance purposes or chatted aimlessly with Nichs and Old Lady Fan. His life was also quite fulfilling.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz¡
That day, as Bai Qi was about to continue his study in the library, his phone, which hadn¡¯ t had any movement for a long time, suddenly vibrated.
¡°Zhuge Chen?¡±
Looking at the name disyed on the iing call, Bai Qi was a bit puzzled The moment he picked up, Zhuge Chen¡¯s holographic projection came lunging straight at him.
¡°What the, Zhuge Chen, did you fail to get a rabies shot and be a werewolf?¡±
Bai Qi almost threw his phone away in surprise. Zhuge Chen seemed to realize his misconduct and said, ¡°Bai Qi, have you finished researching the second stage evolution of the rune?!¡±
¡°Um, is there a problem?¡±
¡°Of course there is a problem!¡±
Zhuge Chen said solemnly, ¡°We mainly promote the Undead Department and the Arctic Ice Wolf. You¡¯ve researched the second stage evolution of the rune but didn¡¯t inform me in advance. We¡¯re not prepared for the publicity. This could cost us a lot of money!¡±
Bai Qi slightly twitched at the corner of his eye, ¡°I haven¡¯tpleted my research yet, and I informed President Qin and Professor Dong sometime ago.¡± Zhuge Chen puckered his lips, ¡°President Qin and Professor Dong are only responsible for research. The actual promotion is handled by us. Thankfully, my dad has beenworking with the Patent Officetely. That¡¯s why we knew you applied for the patent for the second stage evolution of the rune. Otherwise, we¡¯d be passive once everyone else knew.¡±
Bai Qi felt a headacheing while listening to Zhuge Chen¡¯s endless talk about the subsequent series of publicity and promotion work, saying ¡°Stop, stop, stop, you should be contacting me for more than just these matters right?¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded and said, ¡°We¡¯ve hyped the first stage evolution of the rune quite a lot. Both the Undead Academy and our Dojo have benefited a lot Now just by going with the flow andunching the second stage evolution of the ¡¯ rune, we could definitely make a big ssh.¡±
¡°But you were the one who independently researched the second stage evolution of the rune, so my dad needs you to sign an authorization letter before we can operate.¡±
Bai Qi suddenly understood and said, ¡°Just say that in the first ce, so much talk gave me a headache.¡±
Zhuge Chen said unhappily, ¡°I have to rify the stakes to you. You are the leader of the Rune Evolution Special Team, after all.¡±
Zhuge Chen continued in irritation, ¡°Also, you have a share in the ie. Please at least show some interest.¡±
Bai Qi kept shaking his head, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in this stuff. You handle it. It¡¯s too much hassle.¡±
Compared to marketing, which involved dealing with numerous people, Bai Qi preferred to spend time researching the cultivation of beasts and the like along with mechanics and runes. At least there wouldn¡¯t be so many twists and turns. Asking a researcher like him to deal with interpersonal rtionships was really putting him in a difficult situation.
Forget it. I wasn¡¯t counting on you anyway.¡±
Zhuge Chen sighed, ¡°I¡¯ll let you know when we officially start operating. We will probably still need some of your experimental results, so it would be great if you can show up.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, ¡°Speaking of which, I prepared a gift for you. I¡¯ll have President Qin bring it back to youter. I believe you will like it.¡±
¡°A gift?¡±
Zhuge Chen was startled and, seeing Bai Qi¡¯s mysterious expression didn¡¯t bother asking any further. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll send an electronic contractter please take a look when you have time. If you have any questions, please let me ¡¯know.¡± ¡°No problem.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, then hung up the phone before heading straight into the library. ¡°Damn it. 1 forgot something.¡±
After Bai Qi hung up the phone, then did Zhuge Chen remember something. He called again, but couldn¡¯t get through.
¡°This guy, he went off the grid again, before I could tell him about Lu Yuan looking for him.¡±
Thinking of Lu Yuan who regrly visited his and Bai Qi¡¯s homes, Zhuge Chen felt some sympathy, but soon brushed it off and started preparing Bai Qi¡¯s authorization letter.
Because of the evolution of runes, the undead pet beasts from Elf House sold well. The newly opened dojo was also thriving. They not only hired Duanmeng, a master from the Undead Department, as the deputy director, but also attracted many fourth and fifth stage Beast Masters.
They did this not for anything else, but to be the first to enjoy the benefits of the Rune Evolution Special Team.
This method of pet evolution that does not require a form is really tempting. Bai Qi has now developed the second stage of rune evolution. As long as they managed well, the development speed of Wuhou Dojo could certainly reach a higher level.
But the price of these undead creatures is going to rise again.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Qi went straight into the data room, found a Rune book that he hadn¡¯t finished reading, and began to read with interest.
Before Bai Qi had been reading for long, Lu Qing suddenly appeared next to him, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, the teacher is calling you.¡±
Big sister, can you make some noise next time youe out?¡±
Bai Qi, who was engrossed in reading, was startled by Lu Qing¡¯s sudden appearance. Lu Qing didn¡¯t notice this at all and simply turned around and left. ¡°What did I do to annoy her this time?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, but still quickly followed her to Master Lan¡¯s office.
¡°Teacher, Bai Qi is here.¡±
Master Lan was clearly busy. When she heard their arrival, she raised her head and looked at the bewildered Bai Qi. ¡°Your patent for the second stage of rune evolution has been approved. Although it is under the category of rune evolution, it has been rated as a core patent. Here is your certificate.¡±
As soon as her voice fell, a certificate fell from the sky into Bai Qi¡¯s hands.
¡°As for your Spirit Power Storage Device, I¡¯ve applied for it too. But the Thirteenth Bureau seems to have other considerations, and there is no result yet.¡±
Thirteenth Bureau?
Bai Qi was stunned, then quickly thought of something.
The Spirit Power Storage Device involved the Spirit-Control Orb. Was the Thirteenth Bureau worried about revealing the issue of the Spirit-Control Orb ahead of time?
¡°Thanks to Master Lan, for personally helping me apply for the patent.¡± Bai Qi put away the patent certificate and expressed his thanks to Master Lan. Master Lan smiled slightly and said, ¡°It was a small effort, it¡¯s the association¡¯s luck to have talents like you. If we don¡¯t take the initiative, you might be recruited by the Thirteenth Bureau someday.¡±
¡°You tter me, Master Lan.¡±
Bai Qi felt a little embarrassed when Master Lan praised him like this. But Master Lan was clearly not joking. She said, ¡°Recently, the mechanics of the White Meeh have entered the right track. However, there are many problems with the team led by President Qin and Master Xiao. You can go and help that team.¡±
Bai Qi was stunned, but quickly understood.
He had recently heard about the conflict between President Qin and Master Xiao. The simple reason was the difference in their development concepts for Auxiliary Beast. This had been a point of contention between them for a long time, and it was well known in the association.
It didn¡¯t matter initially as simr ideological conflicts were everywhere, and neither of them let it affect their work. But now that they were both researching the auxiliary area of the White Meeh, problems arose.
But why did they have to find him? If Gamma hadn¡¯t realized life energy conversion, which could be considered half auxiliary, he wouldn¡¯t even have an auxiliary beast.
¡°Master Xiao and President Qin¡¯s views are somewhat outdated. As a new generation leader in runes, you may offer some different opinions.¡± Master Lan saw Bai Qi¡¯s confusion andughed, ¡°Your mother told me you just helped them conquer a difficult problem.¡±
¡°Uh, I¡¯ll try my best.¡±
Seeing Master Lan¡¯s expression, Bai Qi knew that he could no longer refuse and had to agree.
Anyway, he was already busy. Adding one more task and studying it together was no problem.
¡°You should go there early then. Master Xiao and President Qin should be debating about this now.¡±
Master Lan lowered her head, continuing to review the documents, and said, ¡°Another thing, Lu Qing will also be assigned to your team. Qing¡¯er, you should learn from Bai Qi¡¯s way of thinking, it will be very beneficial for your future growth.¡±
¡°Yes, teacher.¡±
Lu Qing nodded, then turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi, please give me your guidance from now on.¡±
Looking at Lu Qing¡¯s calm, yet somewhat terrifying gaze, Bai Qi finally realized the truth.
So that¡¯s why she had that kind of attitude towards him earlier.
Can I refuse?
Being stared at with such eyes all the time, he worried he might have nightmares at night.

Chapter 239: Chapter 235: The First Collision of Rune and Machinery
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi felt helpless, but he had to ept this reality. Lu Qing indeed followed Lan Ke¡¯s orders and stuck to him like glue.
Bai Qi felt ufortable with Lu Qing¡¯s presence behind him all the way, so he turned to her and said, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need for you to follow me so closely¡¡±
¡°The teacher said that I should learn your way of thinking, and behavior is the first manifestation of thinking, so please don¡¯t hinder my study,¡± she replied.
Bai Qi: ¡°¡¡±
For some reason, he suddenly felt like he could rte to the experience of a guinea pig.
Bai Qi sighed in resignation, gave up on talking to Lu Qing, quickened his pace, and arrived at the researchb for the White Meeh.
Various observational instruments surrounded the White Meeh, continuously taking in data, then ryed it to the rooms of the various teams below.
To avoid affecting the teams¡¯ efficiency, every team had been assigned different rooms. Apart from fixed daily times for exchanging ideas, the teams would work individually.
Upon opening the door of the support group¡¯s room, Bai Qi immediately heard heated arguments from inside.
¡± Support should not simply be providing energy to the Beast, stimting its natural healing ability is the essence!¡±
¡°Ridiculous, a Beast¡¯s self-healing ability is limited. Your method of stimting treatment will only consume the Beast¡¯s lifespan.¡±
¡°Beasts are not humans. They are more adaptable than humans. As long as the strength is controlled, it can continuously strengthen their self-healing ability. Your method will only make Beasts develop dependence!¡±
¡°I doubt your method¡¯s effectiveness in war. Quick recovery is crucial during wartime. Moreover, keeping the body active promotes growth in Beasts.¡±
¡°You¡¡±
Seeing President Qin and Master Xiao, both red-faced and argumentative, Bai Qi sighed deeply and turned to an elder standing by his side, asking, ¡°Professor Wang, what are they arguing about?¡±
Professor Wang shrugged, replying, ¡°Same as always. They¡¯re arguing over whether quick treatment or slow recovery is better.¡±
¡°Did they encounter this problem with the White Meeh?¡± Bai Qi asked, catching on.
Professor Wang shook his head, saying, ¡°Not yet. Researchon the White Meeh is going smoothly. These two just started arguing.¡±
¡°So it has nothing to do with the White Meeh?¡±
¡°Then what are they arguing about?¡±
Professor Wang gave a bitter smile, saying, ¡°No helping it. They¡¯ve been arguing for so many years, and no one has ever admitted defeat. You¡¯ll get used to it.¡±
Bai Qi sighed in resignation. He thought the two were arguing over matters rted to the White Meeh. Arguing overpletely unrted matters didn¡¯t make sense. One emphasized internal recovery, and the other focused on external replenishment. There was no conflict, so what was there to fight about?
The saying that older people are usually preupied with trivialities hits the mark.
Thinking about this, Bai Qi decided to ignore the two men. He asked Professor Wang for thetest research materials, then delved into his research.
¡°Aren¡¯t you going to mediate for them?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi so immersed, Lu Qing adjusted her sses and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t the teacher primarily askyou to mediate?¡±
¡°It¡¯s fine. They won¡¯t fight. When they¡¯re tired, they¡¯ll stop,¡± Bai Qi replied, waving it off. He then put on a sound-canceling headset, blocking out the noise, and started studying intently.
After a week of catching up on Rune fundamentals, Bai Qi¡¯s understanding of Runes was no longer nonexistent. He now had a different way of interpreting them.
At least, he was now able to independently analyze Rune structure without relying on instruments.
While examining the images in his hand, and continually reconstructing theplete Rune structures in his mind, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but marvel, ¡°As expected, more than one Rune system is installed in the Dual Sky Meeh, right?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t imagine how Beast Masters during the Era of Law Emperor managed to achieve such precise maniption under those technological conditions,¡± he mused aloud in amazement.
The more Bai Qi studied, the more amazed he became. Although the structure of the Mechanical Engineering Department was moreplex, it was mainly due to the aid of artificial intelligence. However, seeing that the Rune Meeh from over a thousand years ago could perform simr functions was indeed an eye-opener for Bai Qi.
After all, ensuring that multiple Rune systems operate without interfering with each other requires high precision.
¡°Although the ancients didn¡¯t have today¡¯s high technology, they also used tools,¡± Lu Qing interrupted Bai Qi¡¯s monologue, called out her Mechanical Doll and said, ¡°My Mechanical Doll is also a product of the Law Emperor era. It¡¯s not inferior to the Mechanical Engineering Department in terms of precision.¡± Seeing Lu Qing suddenly summon her Mechanical Doll, Bai Qi was initially taken aback, but then he became very interested.
¡°Mechanical Doll?¡±
Bai Qi had seen Lu Qing¡¯s Mechanical Doll from afar previously but never had the chance to study it up close due to ack of desire to interact with her. Now that Lu Qing had brought the Mechanical Doll to him, he was naturally not going to pass up the opportunity.
¡°Most constructed objects wouldn¡¯t likely gain sentience unless they were from the Mechanical Engineering Department and had been in existence for a while. How did you manage to do it, Lu Qing?¡±
Seeing the eager light in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes, Lu Qing quickly put away her Mechanical Doll, saying, ¡°My Mechanical Doll has been endowed with life by the teacher himself. She is a living creature. Don¡¯t think about studying her.¡±
¡°Stingy. No one cares even when Mechanical Department Beasts are frequently disassembled.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, and suddenly an idea shed in his mind, he said, ¡°Lu Qing, you said that your mechanical girl was spiritually awakened afterwards? Was it the same kind of awakening as in Mechanical Engineering Department?¡± ¡°Yes, why?¡±
Lu Qing looked at Bai Qi with confusion, unaware of what he was thinking. Before she could ask, Bai Qi immediately put down what he was holding and rushed out of the Tower of Knowledge to the Secret Realm Base.
¡°That guy, has he figured out another difficult problem¡¡±
Lu Qing nced at the mechanical girl behind her, perplexed. The mechanical girl also tilted her head in curiosity.
The base¡¯s secret realm.
Bai Qi appeared directly in theboratory and started to significantly modify the design blueprints of the Spirit Power Storage Device.
¡°The mechanical girl can be intelligent through mechanical spiritual awakening. In other words, there¡¯s no difference between the rune structure and mechanical energy conduction, so why don¡¯t we rece the circuits with a rune structure instead of studying thepatibility of runes and machinery?¡± ¡°No, it should be said, arrange the rune structure as in the mechanical department.¡±
¡°Aha, hasn¡¯t that solved the problem?¡±
The more Bai Qi thought about it, the clearer it got. The knowledge of runes he had just mastered was fully utilized. He was able to find a substitute rune structure for almost every mechanical structure in an instant.
Huh?
(What has this humane up with now?)
Beta, who had just crawled out of the Golden Egg, looked at Bai Qi¡¯s excited face with some confusion.
¡°It seems that he¡¯s substituting machinery with runes, this is indeed an unprecedented approach.¡±
Schuck also stared seriously at the holographic projection in front of Bai Qi, and started building his own rune mechanical structure in his mind.
Huh¡
(You two are so boring¡)
Beta looked speechless at the man and dog immersed in work. He wanted to take a nap, but Schuck¡¯s restrictions made it impossible for him to leave. He had to sit in ce and meditate.
When would he be able to achieve dog rights¡¯ freedom, even a casual nap was no longer allowed.
It would be nice if he could fly around like Apiao.
Immersed in fantasies, Beta quickly got absorbed. His already strong spirit power started growing at a terrifying speed.
¡°Phew¡finally done.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the brand-new rune structure in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
Despite being called a rune structure, if one didn¡¯t look closely, it didn¡¯t seem any different from a conventional mechanical structure.
But with a closer look, one would find that it was almost all made up of rune structure content beneath the shell of the mechanical structure.
This could be called a system of runes in the guise of a mechanical structure. ¡°Would it be considered that I have created a new system? Runes + Mechanics, Rumech? Mechrunes?¡±
Bai Qi looked at histest work excitedly. The mechanical knowledge he had learned before was merging with the rune system, and fantastic ideas kept shing in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, urging him to go on.
¡°Schuck, make a model first and see how it works, um, make it ording to the dimensions of the Spirit-control Orb.¡±
Bai Qi pushed the holographic projection in front of Schuck, then started redesigning the blueprints for the Spirit-Control Orb.
You have to strike while the iron is hot. He now had a burst of inspiration, with a trove of genius ideas that were too good to waste.
¡°Alright.¡±
Seeing the situation, Schuck didn¡¯t disturb Bai Qi. After carefully studying it, he quickly made a sample and started testing the data himself.
¡°Um, this storage capacity has increased by no less than twenty times.¡±
Schuck looked in amazement at the small mechanical device in front of him. It was made to the size of a Spirit-Control Orb. If arger device were made, wouldn¡¯t it store more?
¡°Who would have thought that using a mechanicalyout for runes could produce such a significant result.¡±
As a lifeform from the Mechanical Engineering Department, Schuck understood the research potential more than Bai Qi. After silently setting up an exclusive archive, he continued to research ording to Bai Qi¡¯s ideas.
¡°If a mechanicalyout enhances the spirit power storage effect, then inversely, wouldn¡¯t it also enhance the amplification effect?¡±
Schuck nced at Beta, who was quietly meditating next to him. Under his control, one rune after another gradually merged into the mechanical structure.
¡°It seems I¡¯ve found a way to catch up with Alpha.¡±
Chapter 240 - 236: X Beta Francis Professor
Chapter 240: Chapter 236: X Beta Francis Professor
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi didn¡¯t know how much time had passed before he finally stopped. He stared at the massive structure of the new Spirit-Control Orb in front of him, his mind feeling somewhat dizzy.
During his previous state of concentration, Bai Qi had perfected the structure of the Spirit-Control Orb. He not only strengthened the structure for spiritualmunication but also greatly refined the function of the contract rune.
Moreover, the design of this structure also adopted theyout of the Mechanical Engineering Department, signifying aplete transformation.
¡°I don¡¯t know how effective it will be. If it works, it would mean we have developed a whole new system.¡±
Bai Qi ended the projection and intended to ask Schuck about the status of the Spirit Power Storage Device. He saw Schuck fitting a helmet onto Beta.
¡°Schuck, what are you up to?¡±
Bai Qi drew nearer, curious. Just as he was about to question further, he felt a surge of powerful Spirit Power sweeping towards him. Then a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
¡°Human, I can speak to you directly now!¡±
Bai Qi was startled, but he quickly confirmed that Beta was not using the contract tomunicate with him. Instead, it was directly connecting to his mind using Spirit Power.
¡°Did you use Soul Whisper?¡±
¡°No, I simply connected to your Spirit Power directly.¡±
Beta seemed extremely satisfied with his current state, continuously sharing his joy within Bai Qi¡¯s mind. Already feeling dizzy from overthinking, Bai Qi only felt a sense of vertigo, wanting to disconnect but couldn¡¯t.
Beta had forcefully established a connection with him using Spirit Power, a connection that even the contract couldn¡¯t interrupt, unless Bai Qi¡¯s Spirit power surpassed Beta¡¯s or if he used the contract to forcibly control Beta¡¯s actions. Otherwise, it was impossible to break.
Luckily, Bai Qi quickly identified the source of the issue: pulling off the metallic helmet on Beta¡¯s head, the jumbled voices instantly disappeared.
Woof woof!
(Human, why have you stripped me of my joy!)
Seeing Beta¡¯s intive attempt to snatch back the helmet, Bai Qi¡¯s curiosity about the helmet grew. He examined it closely but couldn¡¯t infer anything. ¡°Schuck, what have you tinkered out this time?¡±
Schuck took over the helmet and exined, ¡°I imitated the Spirit Power Storage structure from your new design, reced it with Spirit Power Amplification Runes, and created a Spirit Power Amplifier. This helmet is a sample of it.¡±
¡°A Spirit Power Amplifier?¡±
Holding the helmet in his hands, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but think of a bald professor from a certain crime-fighting squad who could peek into everyone¡¯s minds once he wore a helmet.
Could that really be possible?
Thinking this, Bai Qi put the helmet back onto Beta¡¯s head, and the familiar voice resounded in his mind again.
¡°Schuck, next time remember to fasten this helmet to me. I¡¯m not nning on taking it off.¡±
While protecting the helmet firmly, Beta watched Bai Qi warily, afraid that Bai Qi might snatch it again.
¡°Huh? There really are humans who can peek into others¡¯ minds?¡±
Just as Bai Qi was about to ask more about the Spirit Power Amplifier Helmet, Beta seemed to have gleaned something from Bai Qi¡¯s memory, a glimmer of longing in his eyes.
¡°Guiding lost youths into bing great heroes? That human is so cool!¡±
Hearing Beta¡¯s words, Bai Qi instantly realized something. He hurriedly used the contract to sever his connection with Beta, but Beta seemed to already be engrossed in his own fantasies and didn¡¯t care at all.
¡°I have decided. I also want to be such an existence. From today onwards, please refer to me as X-Beta-Francis Professor!¡±
This guy, he really peeped into my memories¡
Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed in frustration and said, ¡°Schuck, your Spirit Power Amplifier¡ never mind, let¡¯s just call it the Mind Helmet. How many folds can this Mind Helmet amplify Spirit Power?¡±
¡°Theoretically, it can be amplified by up to roughly twenty-fold. However, when considering tolerance limits, the maximum is ten-fold, and it can¡¯t be maintained for long. If sustained operation is needed, three to five-fold is the optimal range.¡±
Schuck promptly reported his theoretical data, adding, ¡°Meanwhile, to ensure that Spirit Power is not overconsumed, I also incorporated your Spirit Power Storage Device into the helmet. Verification suggests that it can store around twice Beta¡¯s current total Spirit Power.¡±
¡°Hm, it can store such arge amount?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he anticipated considerable improvements after this major modification, he didn¡¯t think the oue would be this good.
Together with the Mind Helmet that Schuck had tinkered out himself, he no longer needed to verify the feasibility of merging runes with machines.
¡°But Schuck, do you intend to use the Mind Helmet in battles?¡±
Schuck nodded and answered, ¡°Sort of. However, this is just an experiment since it relies on the Spirit Power Storage Device. More experiments are needed if we want widespread usage.¡±
Seeing the excited look on Beta¡¯s face, Bai Qi proposed, ¡°Why not test your current battle power? If your Spirit Power has increased, your battle power should be stronger, right?¡±
¡°That¡¯s also good, I also intend to test Beta¡¯s tolerance limit.¡±
Schuck agreed with Bai Qi¡¯s suggestion, and Beta was even more excited, nodding repeatedly.
¡°Then let¡¯s start. Soul Whisper!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t do it here¡ª¡±
Seeing Beta attempting to use a skill right there, Bai Qi immediately wanted to stop him, but before he finished his sentence, a terrifying Spirit Storm surged towards him. Bai Qi immediately fell over, unconscious.
Awooo!
(What happened to the human?)
¡°He was knocked out by your Spirit Power.¡±
Awooo?
(How? I didn¡¯t aim at the human?)
¡°You amplified it ten-fold just now. Even the residual Spirit Power was enough.¡±
Woof woof!
(If the residuals are this powerful, doesn¡¯t that mean I¡¯m already very strong!})
¡°In theory, if the Beast Master woke up without slicing you up, yes.¡±
Awoooo?
(Can I escape under the cover of night in time?)
Schuck: ¡°¡¡±
After a while, Bai Qi finally woke up, feeling a splitting headache, much like a hangover.
¡°That Beta guy, daring to use Soul Whisper on me, it¡¯s like betrayal¡¡±
Bai Qi diligently recalled everything that had happened before. The fact that Beta had stunned him directly with spirit power left him both angry and a little surprised.
Being able to knock him out directly through spirit power, how many times had the Mind Helmet amplified this guy¡¯s spirit power?
Well, it doesn¡¯t seem too bad, if I secretly use this in a future battle, I guess not many Beast Masters can withstand it.
Even if it doesn¡¯t work on Beast Masters, it¡¯s probably a considerable shock for pets as well. I should find Alpha and test it out together.
Awoooo¡
(Human, you¡¯re awake, how do you feel?)
As Bai Qi was contemting on the battlefield use of the Mind Helmet, Beta came running over with a servile look on his face, his mechanical arm even holding a basket of Angel Fruits, clearly demonstrating his understanding of the rules.
¡°You dumb dog, you need to learn how to control your spirit power.¡±
Bai Qi patted Beta¡¯s head gently as a reminder, causing Beta, who had been prepared for a slicing, to be taken aback. But before he could rx, he suddenly felt a force from the hand Bai Qi had ced on his head. Bai Qi¡¯s voice also turned cold.
¡°If you injure me again, get ready to be sliced up!¡±
Awooo¡
(I understand¡)
Seeing Beta relenting, Bai Qi finally nodded satisfactorily. Looking at the Mind Helmet set aside, he said, ¡°Schuck, make me a spirit istion helmet when you get a chance. Otherwise, I fear this fool might turn me into an idiot.¡±
¡°I¡¯m already designing it, it should be ready soon.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. He then turned his gaze back to Beta and said, ¡°The shock just now was indeed strong. Soul Whisper is a bit inappropriate. We might as well rename it Spirit Storm.¡±
Awoooo?
(Spirit Storm? Sounds powerful, I like it!)
Beta was obviously very pleased with the name of his new skill, he immediately wanted to put on the helmet again and give it another try. But seeing Bai Qi¡¯s murderous gaze, he backed down.
¡°Go and work on your control skills before the Spirit Istion Helmet is ready. Otherwise, it¡¯s useless if your spirit power is too dispersed, no matter how strong it is.¡±
Awooo¡
(Yes, yes, yes, I¡¯ll go and practice right away¡)
Looking at the Mind Helmet that Bai Qi had sealed away, Beta was unbearably distressed. But thinking of a certain bald professor¡¯s experience, he suddenly got a burst of energy.
One day, I¡¯ll be such an inspiring figure!
Hmm, isn¡¯t it the same idea in the scriptures that humans give?
I got it!
Beta seemed to have figured out some key point and immediately entered a state of meditation, leaving Bai Qi somewhat puzzled.
Why is this guy suddenly so obedient?
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, then sent the new design of the Spirit- Control Orb to Schuck, saying, ¡°Schuck, hurry up and make me a prototype. I¡¯ll go find Cha to test its effects.¡±
Zhuge Chen wasn¡¯t nearby, so Bai Qiucha, who already had all his contract slots filled, was naturally the best choice to test the Spirit-Control Orb.
The assembly hall.
Bai Qiucha walked out of the portal, nced at his name at the top of the scoreboard, and his eyes became even more resolute.
Ever since Bai Qi returned from the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, apart from seeking notes from him at fixed times every day, he hardly ever came to the training. The instructors seemed to ept this behavior and never listed Bai Qi¡¯s scores.
But everyone knew that if Bai Qi came back, he would probably be the one in first ce.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Cha? You¡¯re still in this mood even after getting first ce again?¡±
Xiao Yuan, who was just one point behind Bai Qiucha, stepped forward and chuckled, ¡°Is it because without Bai Qi here it feels a bit dull?¡±
Bai Qiucha said: ¡°The pressure from you guys is huge, Xiao Yuan. I¡¯ve been giving it my all. I just feel like something¡¯s missing.¡±
Xiao Yuanughed, ¡°That¡¯s right, without Bai Qi, this anomaly, leading the way, I also feel there¡¯s no motivation to chase.¡±
¡°Cut it out, you two freaks, stop reflecting here. At least leave some room for us normal people to survive. We¡¯re on the verge of copsing¡¡±
Bai Yuxiao walked over with a contemptuous look on his face,ining, ¡°Because of you two, the instructors have raised the pass mark several times already. If this continues, I¡¯ll be beaten by my dad again.¡±
¡°Be grateful. If Bai Qi were still here, the pass mark would probably increase even faster.¡±
Bai Yuxiao waved his hand at these words, ¡°No way. I heard from my dad that Bai Qi has been hanging out in the Tower of Knowledgetely. It¡¯d be strange to run into him.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qiucha suddenly poked Bai Yuxiao, and then pointed forward, ¡°Look, a ¡®ghost¡¯ ising.¡±
Bai Yuxiao followed the direction of Bai Qiucha¡¯s finger and saw Bai Qi running towards them in a hurry.
Oh my god, does he have some sort of magical mouth? What he calls,es?
Let¡¯s do it again, I want to be the strongest!
Chapter 241 - 237: Group Attack
Chapter 241: Chapter 237: Group Attack
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Is ss over already? Perfect timing, Cha, I want to do an experiment with you. Bring your Thunder Rat.¡±
It was only then that Bai Qi noticed he¡¯d spent the whole day in the secret realm, seeing Bai Qiucha, Xiao Yuan and others gathered at the assembly hall exit.
¡°Thunder Rat? I got it.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Qiucha immediately understood, took out the Thunder Rat from the Bone Dragon Secret Realm, held it in his arms, and headed towards Bai Qi.
¡°Wait a minute, Bai Qi. Can¡¯t you think about Brother Cha all the time when there are benefits? Leave something for us too.¡±
Seeing the two were about to leave, Bai Yuxiao immediately stepped in front of them. But Bai Qi appeared indifferent, ¡°I don¡¯t mind making a Spirit-Control Orb for you, but you better first persuade the teacher and be prepared psychologically to lose a contract slot.¡±
¡°Uncle? Uh, never mind.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi invoking Bai Heguang, Bai Yuxiao instantly chickened out and categorically stopped talking about the benefits. Xiao Yuan, who understood Bai Qi¡¯s current situation, curiously countered, ¡°Didn¡¯t you officially join the analysis team, Bai Qi? How do you have time to study other things?¡±
Bai Qi replied, ¡°I had some insights in the analysis team, so I urgently asked Cha to test the result.¡±
Strictly speaking, his inspiration actually came from Lu Qing¡¯s mechanical girl. He had to rush back as soon as this experiment was over; otherwise, he couldn¡¯t exin it to Lan Ke.
¡°I see¡¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan understood, ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb you.¡±
Saying that, Xiao Yuan paused andughed, ¡°Oh, right. I almost forgot to congratte you for getting another core patent. As far as I know, you are currently the first in the Federation to have two core patents.¡±
¡°Core patents? Two of them?!¡±
Hearing Xiao Yuan¡¯s words, Bai Yuxiao was astonished. He looked at Bai Qi as if he was seeing a monster, ¡°Bai Qi, how is your brain wired? You train your pets so well and yet you still have time to study patents?¡±
¡°Uh, it¡¯s all right.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. It was a good thing he didn¡¯t tell him that the Spirit-Control Orb might also be a core patent. Otherwise, this guy would probably go crazy, right?
¡°Suddenly, I feel so stupid¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi admit it, Bai Yuxiao suddenly became incredibly dejected and many others felt the same way.
For example, Gu Shan and Zhou Yan¡
¡°Well, I¡¯d better get going.¡±
Seeing several people suddenly in a state of dejection, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a little dumbfounded, so he immediately called Bai Qiucha to go to the Association¡¯s public training field.
¡°Bai Qi, you asked me to bring the Thunder Rat, is it about the Spirit-Control Orb?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I modified the structure of the Spirit-Control Orb a bit, and wanted you to test the results.¡±
Bai Qi took out a brand-new version of the Spirit-Control Orb and handed it to Bai Qiucha, ¡°You use this Spirit-Control Orb to contract once again.¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, took the Spirit-Control Orb, and began to skillfully infuse his own spirit power.
¡°Has the spirit power storage capacity of the Spirit-Control Orb increased?¡±
After injecting arge amount of spirit power, Bai Qiucha still didn¡¯t feel the limit, which made him a little surprised.
Wasn¡¯t it said that it is difficult to coordinate between runes and machinery, so it is temporarily impossible to increase the contract limit?
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Yes, but the Thunder Rat is very familiar with you, so it¡¯s ok if it¡¯s not full.¡±
The contracting of a beast through the Spirit-Control Orb consumes stored spirit power. In the case of Bai Qiucha and the Thunder Rat, which were already familiar to each other, it was just a formality, there was no need to fill it up.
¡°Ok.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded in agreement, lifted the Spirit-Control Orb, lightly tapped it on the head of the Thunder Rat, a new rune suddenly appeared and quickly branded itself on the Thunder Rat. There was suddenly a new voice in Bai Qiucha¡¯s mind.
¡°Is that you, Thunder Rat?¡±
Hearing the Thunder Rat, who was also curiously asking him, Bai Qiucha¡¯s face once again showed a hint of astonishment.
Although the previous Spirit-Control Orb could establish a connection between him and the Thunder Rat, he could not understand the Thunder Rat¡¯s words. He was simply guessing the Thunder Rat¡¯s actions based on that thin connection.
Now, he could clearly perceive the Thunder Rat¡¯s thoughts, and the Thunder Rat could do the same.
¡°Cha, can youmunicate normally with the Thunder Rat now? Like with the Bone Dragon.¡±
Seeing Bai Qiucha¡¯s expression, Bai Qi knew that his design was a sess. But out of caution, he asked again.
¡°Yes, although it¡¯s not as clear as with the Bone Dragon, but I can indeed understand the Thunder Rat¡¯s words.¡±
Bai Qiucha¡¯s eyes were shining, ¡°Bai Qi, how did you manage to do this? Did you contract outside of the contract slot?¡±
¡°How is that possible.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, ¡°The contract is the same as before, I just enhanced themunication structure a bit, and apart from that, the binding force of the contract is not as strong as it used to be.¡±
¡°The binding force has weakened?¡±
Bai Qi patted Bai Qiucha on the shoulder, ¡°Yes, so maintain a good rtionship with the Thunder Rat, otherwise if he runs away one day, I won¡¯t be responsible.¡±
¡°I get it now.¡±
Bai Qiucha gave a nod, lightly tapping the head of the explosive rat as if about to say something poetic, when the startled rat suddenly discharged a strong burst of electricity, gifting Bai Qiucha a hairdo for free.
The Spirit-Control Orb presently was more urately a connector of sorts, although it could form a bond with a pet beast, the strength of such a bond depended on the user¡¯s persuasive power.
However, looking at Bai Qiucha, it seemed he wasn¡¯t particrly proficient at this.
¡°I¡¯ll give this to you then, remember to give me feedback so I can make modificationster.¡±
Looking at therge-eyed stare-down between man and beast, Bai Qi didn¡¯t linger around for much longer, directly heading to the Tower of Knowledge.
The problem of the Spirit Controller Contract andmunication with the beast was solved, but it seems like it also created a dissolution problem for the Spirit Controller. Didn¡¯t other ordinary people be petrified within minutes due to the explosive rat, like Bai Qiucha, Four Stage Beast Master?
Tsk, he¡¯d have to tell the Thirteenth Bureau and President Qin that before poprizing the Spirit-Control Orb; he likely would have to get them to sign a contract of life and death first. Otherwise, thepensation alone would bankrupt him.
Tower of Knowledge.
As Bai Qi stepped into the gateway, he saw Lu Qing walking towards him.
¡°Bai Qi, what on earth have you been up to all day?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi finally appear, Lu Qing¡¯s brow furrowed slightly.
While the teacher had encouraged her to learn Bai Qi¡¯s way of thinking, although somewhat unhappy about it, she had to admit that Bai Qi was indeed more adapted to thinking out of the box than she was.
But for all the trouble she had talking herself into following Bai Qi, he had just left her hanging all day, how could she not be upset?
¡°Nothing much, just inspired by your mechanical girl, I resolved a few issues.¡±
Having understood the mechanization of the rune structure, Bai Qi effortlessly cracked a few tough issues. So, he was in a particrly good mood, and found Lu Qing somewhat more pleasing to the eye than usual.
¡°Inspired by the Mechanical Girl?¡±
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing grew even more puzzled. She had long since studied the runes on the Mechanical Girl, and although there was nothing specifically outstanding about them, they clearly had many ws whenpared to the White Meeh.
¡°You haven¡¯t studied mechanics, so it won¡¯t be easy for me to exin all at once. I¡¯ll get around to exining it another day when you have the time.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and headed straight to the research group, bypassing Lu Qing.
Although he thought he had ovee the conflict between the functioning of the runes and the mechanics, the analysis of the White Meeh was still at a standstill. Regardless, he still needed to participate.
Besides, he was somewhat curious about the technique the White Meeh used for multiple rune structure system parallel execution and flexible switching.
After all, the cement of the White Meeh¡¯s rune structure was nothing like the mechanical arrangement style he was familiar with.
Having seen Bai Qi¡¯s demeanor, Lu Qing, who had originally decided to go report to Lan Ke, changed her mind and followed Bai Qi to the research group.
Just like when Bai Qi left, President Qin and Master Xiao were still arguing. Only now, their discussions were no longer about theories alone, but had begun to involve hands-on examples, trying to convince each other with practical cases.
Looking at those two spirited individuals, there was a slight twitch in Bai Qi¡¯s eye. He asked, ¡°You two haven¡¯t been arguing all day long, have you?¡±
¡°Strictly speaking, they¡¯ve been arguing for three days straight.¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses and said, ¡°I suggest you first get these two to stop. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to continue your research.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s affecting anything though.¡±
ncing at the Rune Masters engrossed in their own research, Bai Qi said, ¡°Let them keep arguing for a couple more days. President Qin is a master; he can¡¯t hold up for much longer.¡±
No sooner had he finished speaking than President Qin, who was engaged in a heated argument with Xiao Ding, twitched his ears. He immediately stopped, turned around, looked at Bai Qi, and snapped, ¡°You little stinker, speaking ill of me behind my back. Are you itching for a trashing?!¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and looked at President Qin, who intended to vent his anger at him. He replied, ¡°Should I say it to your face next time?¡±
¡°You ¡±
President Qin was on the verge of exploding at his remarks, but seeing Bai Qi pretending to be innocent, his anger evaporated instantly.
¡°Forget it, it¡¯s embarrassing to quarrel in front of youngsters. We will talk about our matterster.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Master Xiao also realized hispse, instantly regaining his usualposure. He addressed Bai Qi, ¡°The preliminary analysis of the White Meeh has basically beenpleted. The subsequent difficulties will be greater, so don¡¯t put too much pressure on yourselves. Just observe, otherwise it will be exhausting.¡±
¡°I understand, thank you, Master Xiao.¡±
Lu Qing obediently nodded her head. Master Xiao wasn¡¯t looking down on them, the failure to poprize rune knowledge was in part because it wasn¡¯t fit for rote learning, as it could inflict severe trauma to the spirit.
In simple terms, if you stare too much at the rune, even if you don¡¯t have trypophobia, you would develop one.
¡°See, problem solved.¡±
Seeing the two of them fold, Bai Qi smiled triumphantly, and then went back to studying the rune structure of his White Meeh.
Despite the research group having aplete holographic projection, Bai Qi preferred to think about it himself. After all, only by personally experiencing it could he deepen his understanding.
After memorizing all the blueprints, Bai Qi roughly simted a rune structure in his mind. But at the same time, he also noticed some problems.
¡°Um? Why are there a few abandoned rune routes here?¡±
Chapter 242 - 238: Rune Stacking
Chapter 242: Chapter 238: Rune Stacking
Trantor: 549690339
Bai Qi once again picked up the blueprint and indeed noticed the presence of these discarded runes.
¡°Discarded runes?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Lu Qing appeared somewhat puzzled and took a look at the blueprint, saying, ¡°These runes are familiar to me, they¡¯re used to buffer external energy impacts, not discarded runes.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Bai Qi gave a slight nod, still feeling like something was off. His eyes darted around, and he immediately rushed to the hall to study the White Meeh.
Even though all group data was shared, the processed data still wasn¡¯t as clear as observing the original object.
¡°Found it.¡±
Soon enough, Bai Qi found the runes he had just noticed on the heels of the White Meeh¡¯s feet.
As Lu Qing had mentioned, these runes seemed to be used to buffer energy impacts, and didn¡¯t serve any apparent purpose.
Bai Qi stared at the runes in front of him with a confused look, unable to figure out the issue. He decided to hop onto a flying device and conduct a thorough inspection on the White Meeh, and, indeed, found simr runes in other locations.
¡°They¡¯re evenly distributed at varying contact points, ostensibly working as buffers, but something seems off.¡±
Bai Qi looked down at the White Meeh in front of him, all the while recalling the battle scenes with the ck Sky Meeh.
¡°It seems like the ck Sky Meeh only reacts after absorbing an impact?¡± Looking at the various random arrangements of runes, Bai Qi seemed to have an idea and ran over to a holographic projector and started operating it.
Lu Qing, who had followed Bai Qi to the projector and noticed him drawing on the holographic image of the White Meeh, was curious but didn¡¯t interrupt, simply observing silently.
Simultaneously, theposed President Qin and Xiao Ding, having noticed Bai Qi¡¯s actions, set aside their tasks and gathered around Bai Qi to watch.
After a short while, Bai Qi finally stopped. The holographic projection of the White Meeh now disyed a brand-new rune structure that Bai Qi had highlighted.
This structure ran through the entire rune structure of the White Meeh, yet none of them served as a core rune.
It seemed more like a link connecting these different rune systems.
¡°So that¡¯s how it is, a base rune structure, with multiple rune structures designed on top of it in three dimensions, each independent yet interconnected. When the exposed sensing runes detect external energy, they can react ordingly. Thisyered design; the Law Emperor really was ingenious.¡± Looking at the endlessly rotating new structure in front of him, Bai Qi had an epiphany. The multi-rune structure of the White Meeh, which had previously puzzled him, instantly became clear as crystal.
¡°But why does this thing look so much like a ve contract? The Rune Meeh shouldn¡¯t need this, should it?¡±
Having solved one problem, Bai Qi was struck by a new question.
¡°Because within this mech, the soul of a legendary ferocious beast is bound.¡±
Hearing the voice beside him, Bai Qi woke from his reverie, realizing that he was surrounded by people.
¡°Uh, what¡¯re you all looking at?¡±
Being stared at by so many people, Bai Qi awkwardly scratched his head, quickly realizing they were all drawn in by the hidden rune system he had just uncovered.
Xiao Ding let out a heavy sigh, saying, ¡°I never thought that the hidden core system we were searching for all this time would be found so easily by you, should we just admit that we¡¯re getting old?¡±
¡°This is the core system?¡±
Bai Qi froze upon hearing the words, clearly emerging with a sense of newfound importance. Xiao Ding continued, ¡°The Law Emperor wasn¡¯t the first person to invent a Rune Puppet, but Rune Puppets reached their peak during the Era of the Law Emperor because of theyered rune system he invented.¡± ¡°Expanding runes from two-dimensional to three-dimensional is the primary objective of our analysis group.¡±
Upon hearing Xiao Ding¡¯s words, Bai Qi was surprised, ¡°So, does that mean I finished early?¡±
¡°In your dreams.¡±
President Qin smacked Bai Qi¡¯s head with irritation, saying, ¡°The core system is just the foundation. The additional subsystems are the source of the White Meeh¡¯s abilities, but you have indeed saved us a whole lot of trouble.¡±
At President Qin¡¯s words, everyone nodded in agreement, once again acknowledging the incredibly gifted young man.
As renowned Rune Masters of the Federation, they of course had an understanding of theyered rune system from the Era of the Law Emperor.
However, this system doesn¡¯t have many constraints, and the more additional subsystems there are, the harder it bes to detect the core system.
For legendarybat powers like the White Mech, which had over ten additional subsystems, it was definitely a challenging task to identify them. That¡¯s why they were divided into smaller groups, intending to identify all the additional subsystems, then find amon thread.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qi had managed to uncover them all at once using some ¡°discarded runes¡± they had overlooked.
Although it hadn¡¯t been verified yet, it seemed highly likely given Xiao Ding¡¯s expressions.
¡°So, it¡¯s not finished yet¡¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi came to an understanding and asked Xiao Ding curiously, ¡°Master Xiao, you mentioned earlier that the soul of a legendary ferocious beast was bound here, is that true?¡±
Xiao Ding nodded and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t think that Rune Meehs were all controlled remotely by Beast Masters, did you?¡±
Bai Qi painted an awkward smile, quite frankly, that was exactly what he had originally thought.
¡°The Era of the Law Emperor was not like the present time, where the Mechanical Engineering Department can possessputational abilities far exceeding that of ordinary pets through a spiritual awakening. Back then, humans did not have the means to control spiritual awakenings. So, in order to ensure the flexibility of the Rune Puppets, the Law Emperor came up with a way to rece human control with the souls of Ferocious Beasts.¡±
Xiao Ding looked at the White Mech in front of him and said, ¡°The strength of the soul bound by the Mech determines the number of rune systems it can bear. If a Mech, like the White Mech, possessing Legendary Combat Power, did not possess the soul of a Legendary creature, how could it carry such a powerful energy?¡±
Upon hearing Xiao Ding¡¯s words, Bai Qi finally understood.
He devoted a huge amount of effort into wondering where the Rune Meeh¡¯s control system was located, only to find out it was the soul of a Ferocious Beast. That said, the power and energy that drove the General Terracotta and kept it moving could also be the soul of a Ferocious Beast?
The act of extracting the soul and cing it in the Mech seemed very interesting¡
Pure curiosity appeared once again on Bai Qi¡¯s face, while Lu Qing was still immersed in Bai Qi¡¯s previous actions.
He had effortlessly solved the problem that the analysis team had been working on for several weeks. Was his talent really that monstrous?
¡°Don¡¯t belittle yourself. You have done quite well so far, it¡¯s just that sometimes you have to learn to look at a problem from a different perspective.¡± Professor Dong walked up to Lu Qing and smiled gently, ¡°The reason Bai Qi can see what we don¡¯t see is that he never bes obsessed with the problem itself.¡±
¡°Since I met Bai Qi, I have been able to figure out many problems that have puzzled me for years.¡±
¡°Not obsessed with the problem itself?¡±
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing pondered. It seemed that Bai Qi never really focused on studying one thing in depth, but he always found some unexpected breakthroughs.
So, being distracted isn¡¯t necessarily detrimental?
Lu Qing shook her head, dispelling this absurd thought.
As human ability has its limits. If she were to do as Bai Qi did, she would probably end up achieving nothing.
It¡¯s better to stay on your own path.
With that thought, Lu Qing¡¯s expression became firm, and the shock caused by Bai Qi previously alsopletely disappeared.
Bai Qi didn¡¯t notice Lu Qing¡¯s changes. He was bursting with curiosity, after learning new knowledge from Xiao Ding, and kept questioning him.
¡°Master Xiao, does such a core contract also have the effect of preserving souls?¡±
¡°Since the soul of a Ferocious Beast can assist in fighting, it should retain consciousness, right? Wouldn¡¯t it rebel?¡±
¡°Also, what exactly is the method of extracting the soul and sealing it? A ve Contract should not have this capability.¡±
¡°And there¡¯s also¡¡±
Looking at Bai Qi, who was continuously asking questions, Xiao Ding frowned slightly, but before he could interrupt Bai Qi, President Qin at his side seemed a bit impatient.
¡°The legend is busy, I can answer these questions for you.¡±
President Qin looked unhappily at Bai Qi, ¡°If someone misguides you in your cultivation path, that wouldn¡¯t be good.¡±
Upon hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Xiao Ding¡¯s face turned sour, ¡°Your method is wrong, isn¡¯t it? You only focus on external supplementation, ignoring the training of the pet¡¯s self-recovery ability. Such reliance on the battlefield is a death sentence.¡±
¡°Hmph, seems like I¡¯ve spent more time on the battlefield than you, are you sure you want to argue about that with me?¡±
Seeing the two about to argue again, Bai Qi had a bit of a headache.
He still wanted to ask more confidential information, but how could he ask when these two were arguing?
¡°Well, I actually think you two don¡¯t need to argue at all.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, the two instantly stopped. President Qin directly asked, ¡°Then Bai Qi, who do you believe is right?¡±
Xiao Ding also stopped speaking, his eyes fixed on Bai Qi, apparently interested in Bai Qi¡¯s views.
Feeling the intensity of their gaze, Bai Qi also felt somewhat intimidated, but in order to be able to ask the questions he needed, he said, ¡°Master Xiao focuses on long-term development, and even the slightest advantage can umte into an absolute lead; while President Qin focuses on immediate effects, recoveringbat power as quickly as possible to avoid idents, right?¡±
The two nodded. In truth, both of them possessed these two healing methods, but they were unwilling topromise on which one is more important.
Finally, someone has put these two items together, and they wanted to hear Bai Qi¡¯s opinions.
Seeing the two agree with him, Bai Qi quickly stated his point of view.
¡°Since both of you believe your ideas are correct, why notbine them?¡± Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding shook his head and said, ¡°Although pets can master multiple healing skills at the same time, if put on the battlefield, there will inevitably be a focus. After all, these two types of skills require different precision control of energy.¡±
¡°But if it¡¯s like that, why not just not give it to the pets?¡±
Bai Qi pointed towards the stack of rune systems and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t we study the White Mech in order to create pet healing machinery?¡±
Chapter 243 - 239: Arrival of the Thirteenth Bureau
Chapter 243: Chapter 239: Arrival of the Thirteenth Bureau
Trantor: 549690339
Seeing everyone fall silent, Bai Qi continued, ¡°Couldn¡¯t we simply utilize the oveid rune system of the White Meeh and couple it with these two systems?¡± ¡°You kiddo, are you treating us like fools?¡±
President Qin retorted, ¡°The method for constraining the soul with Rune Meeh has been lost. The reason the association is so interested in the White Meeh is to see whether this method could be recreated.¡±
¡°Otherwise, even if we perfectly replicated the White Meeh, it would just be a pile of scrap metal.¡±
Bai Qi, understanding this, realized why the association arranged suchplex logistics, their main aim was this.
¡°But, President, didn¡¯t you think of trying something mechanical? Even without a spiritual awakening, the mere healing device is good enough. Didn¡¯t you previously bring out the healing pod to help us recover our strength?¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding shook his head and said, ¡°The healing pod currently only works for Beast Masters, and it¡¯s expensive to manufacture, so it¡¯s impossible to make it avable to the whole Federation. The Moon Night Tower has been studying methods to improve it for years, but with limited results. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have ced our hopes on the White Meeh.¡± ¡°Before the healing pod makes a significant breakthrough, our best hope is to try and replicate the White Meeh.¡±
As Xiao Ding said these words, respected experts like President Qin and Professor Dong fell into silence.
They had all experienced battles with the Ferocious Beast Tribe and understood the impact of not having proper medical methods. Although there are more Support Beastmasters now than ever before, it¡¯s clear that these fearless machines were more reliable.
After all, no one knew when the next battle between the Federation and the Beasts will begin or how long the next war wouldst. The best they could do was to be as prepared as possible.
¡°Well, we don¡¯t necessarily have to replicate the White Meeh perfectly, but simply put the needed rune system into the machine.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°Even if we cannotbine the two healing systems, we can separate them into two machines.¡±
¡°Bai Qi, I know you¡¯re a student specializing in mech warfare, and you have a talent for runes, but mechanics and runes aren¡¯t that easy tobine.¡±
Seeing this, Professor Dong patiently exined to Bai Qi, ¡°The precision of the circuit distribution in the Mechanical System is not inferior to the Rune System; the coexistence of the two systems can easily cause interference.¡±
Indeed, he was the first to think of arranging the rune system using the distribution method of the Mechanical System.
In the vast Federation, was there not a single person who understood both mechanics and runes?
It was aplete mess.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face. Xiang Li, who had guessed something, immediately responded, ¡°Bai Qi, have you solved the conflict between the Spirit-Control Orb Machine and the runes?¡±
As soon as Xiang Li said this, all eyes returned to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t say I¡¯ve solved the conflict, it¡¯s more like I avoided it.¡±
He then shared his simple idea with everyone, with no intention to keep it a secret.
After all, this was just an idea. Once understood, many people could do it.
However, as Bai Qi finished speaking, the way Xiao Ding, Xiang Li and others looked at Bai Qi had changed considerably.
¡°Unable to avoid conflict, so just integrate it?¡±
With a solemn expression, President Qin asked, ¡°Bai Qi, did youe up with all this yourself?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°Kind of, the inspiration came from Lu Qing¡¯s Mechanical Girl.¡±
¡°Mechanical Girl?¡±
Upon hearing this, Xiang Li was taken aback. He knew of the awakening of the Mechanical Girl, even though he was not directly involved. It was one of the association¡¯s experiments for replicating mechs. But only a few of the mechanical series had been sessful, so it wasn¡¯t used as a significant reference.
Although, hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, did the method of integrating the Mechanical System and the Rune Systeme from the Mechanical Girl?
¡°Yes, the Mechanical Girl is a Rune Structure, but it can be awakened through the Mechanical System, which means that runes and mechanics are inherentlyplementary.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged. ¡°From a certain point of view, shouldn¡¯t the Rune Mech be considered the ancestor of the Mechanical System? Other than the control system and energy structure, they¡¯re quite simr.¡±
Everyone fell silent again at his words.
The Rune System was the ancestor of the Mechanical System?
Only someone as young as Bai Qi would have such an idea, right?
After all, the Rune System and the Mechanical System were two independent and mature systems that have developed over thousands of years. Normally, who would put these two systems together?
But maybe this was the reason why Bai Qi could alwayse up with novel ideas?
Thinking about this, many of the masters in the room had realizations. They looked at the smiling Professor Dong and began to entertain the idea of studying mechanics too.
¡°But for a structure as simple as the Spirit-Control Orb, if we¡¯re thinking aboutrge-scale machines, are you sure that there won¡¯t be any issues?¡±
After considering for a while, Xiao Ding posed a question.
¡°I can¡¯t.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately shook his head and said, ¡°I just said that mechanics and runes could coexist. As for the specific design¡ ¡±
¡°Great masters, you certainly are all overestimating me. I¡¯m just afirst-year student¡¡±
You finally remember that you¡¯re just a first-year student!
Did the Federation have a student with two core patents at the same time?!
No, there may soon be another one!
The technology of mechanical and rune fusion, this was absolutely an unprecedented game-changer for both the Rune Department and the Mechanical Engineering Department!
Seeing the ¡®you¡¯re-thinking-too-much¡¯ expression on Bai Qi¡¯s face, Xiao Ding and Xiang Li were left staring at each other, and Lan Ke, who had been in charge of the entire situation in the Tower of Knowledge, suddenly appeared, saying, ¡°Indeed, President¡¯s decision to let you join the analysis team was correct.¡±
¡°Hehe¡¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, saying, ¡°I was just lucky, I guess there are many people who thought about it, but just didn¡¯t put it into practice.¡±
¡°Perhaps that¡¯s true, but at least these things have not yet appeared in the Federation¡¯s patent catalog.¡±
Lan Ke gave a faint smile and said, ¡°I¡¯ve just filed your patent application. You¡¯ll soon be the youngest person in Federation history to hold three core patents.¡±
Wow, that¡¯s fast?
But speaking of it, does three core patents mean he can just lie back and rake in the money from now on?
Xiang Li pped President Qin on the shoulder, unable to help butugh, ¡°Lao Qin, I thinkyou¡¯d better let Heguang drop by the patent office and leave a contact for Bai Qi. It¡¯s too much trouble for him to apply for it every few days.¡± It wasn¡¯t a careless remark. The patent that Lan Ke applied for was probably just the mechanicalyout method of the runes, and the Spirit-Control Orb and the Spirit Power¡¯s storage device hadn¡¯t been reported yet. If it¡¯s reported, there might be a few more added to the list.
¡°For the first time, I find your words quite sensible. I¡¯ll ask Heguang to handle it.¡±
President Qin agreed with Xiang Li. In less than half a year since this kid became a Beast Master, he¡¯d already trotted out so much stuff. God knows what odd things he¡¯de up with next.
¡°Uh, President, Master Xiang, stop teasing me.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head with some speechlessness, ¡°Um, I just remembered that there¡¯s a ss in the training camp, I¡¯ll go ahead first.¡±
Having said that, without turning his head, Bai Qi ran out of the analysis team.
With three legends and a bunch of masters gazing at him, Bai Qi felt enormous pressure.
Anyway, he already knew why the White Meeh¡¯s multiple rune operation system worked, so there was no need to go there again for the time being.
But that technology of binding the soul of a ferocious beast to a Mech could be worth learning. After the big guys figured it out, he could learn then.
¡°Mission aplished, time to learn¡¡±
Upon seeing Bai Qi leave so abruptly, the masters were all taken aback.
Bai Qi proposed this line of thought. If the research continued, he would definitely be the biggest contributor. The honor it represented, not to mention the rewards afterwards, would suffice for Bai Qi to enjoy for a lifetime.
But instead, he just ran away.
¡°Perhaps it is because of thisck of concern that he can think of what we cannot.¡±
Professor Dong smiled as he watched Bai Qi leave and turned to Xiao Ding and President Qin, saying, ¡°You two will have to work hard on the two healing rune systems.¡±
Xiao Ding and President Qin looked at each other upon hearing this and harrumphed as they walked away. It was clear that they were already starting to design the relevant rune structures.
They had not fully understood Bai Qi¡¯s theory yet, but if the basic rune design waspleted first, then subsequent modifications would be another project.
Seeing their behavior, Lan Ke also had a smile on his face. She patted a thoughtful-looking Lu Qing and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go help out. Just do what you can.¡± ¡°Okay, teacher.¡±
Lu Qing nodded, nced at the direction Bai Qi left, hesitated for a moment, performed some operations on his badge, and immediately felt refreshed, quickly immersing herself in her work.
Two weekster.
Hum¡Hum¡Hum¡
The vibrating sound of the phone woke Bai Qi from his deep sleep. With Bai Qi¡¯s abrupt getting up, the rune books piled on him scattered all over the ce.
Ever since Bai Qi solved the problem that was troubling the analysis team, Lan Ke had granted him the privilege of borrowing books, and Bai Qi took full advantage, sweeping out the books he hadn¡¯t read in batches.
He obviously couldn¡¯t read them all, but he could first have Schuck record it. The only issue was that pets couldn¡¯t be summoned in the library, and various photographic and recording devices couldn¡¯t be used. Otherwise, Bai Qi could have copied it all in the library.
¡°Are they looking for me so early? Could it be that they¡¯ve found the method to bind souls?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in bewilderment, but after seeing the series of messages on his phone, he suddenly perked up.
¡°The Thirteenth Bureau has arrived, gather in the assembly hall quickly.¡±
Time flew by, it was already time for the joint examination by the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association.
Does this mean his mythical resources and Seven-stage technology were here?
Chapter 244 - 240: What a Cunning Fox...
Chapter 244: Chapter 240: What a Cunning Fox¡
Trantor: 549690339 j????? ¡ã
Six Tower.
An emaciated, white-haired old man was slowly walking toward the assembly hall apanied by Zhao Futu. Following behind them were Yi Yu and the other members of the Thirteenth Bureau.
¡°President Zhao, long time no see. You are still full of energy. Unlike an ordinary person like me, who is nearing the end of his life¡¡±
The white-haired old man was slightly hunched. Compared to the towering figure of Zhao Futu, he looked even more fragile. But there was no hint of disdain in Zhao Futu¡¯s eyes. He smiled, ¡°Director Wang, you are still fond of joking. Who in the entire Federation would dare to belittle you-an ¡®ordinary person¡¯?¡±
Wang Jian, the director of the Thirteenth Bureau, was also its founder. Although hecked Talent, he managed the vast Thirteenth Bureau effectively and there was a trend of gradually recing the Beast Master Association.
Perhaps hisbat power was zero, but when it came to tactics, probably few people in the entire Federation had better ones.
Upon hearing Zhao Futu¡¯s words, Wang Jianughed, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to everyone¡¯s face. In a few years, when I am buried in the soil, I won¡¯t be useful anymore. Then, the work of the Thirteenth Bureau will need President Zhao¡¯s care.¡±
Zhao Futu nced at Yi Yu, who was closely following Wang Jian, and said, ¡°President Wang, haven¡¯t you already found a sessor? Perhaps it will be our Association who needs help in the future.¡±
¡°President Zhao jests. You could easily hold your office for several more decades given your current stamina. And hasn¡¯t your Association also found a sessor?¡±
The two exchanged a smile and stepped into the assembly hall.
The news about joining forces with the Thirteenth Bureau for the joint examination had already informed all the trainees. Therefore, Bai Qiucha and others were waiting early. Seeing the Beastmasters from the Thirteenth Bureau following Wang Jian, they all showed their eagerness for battle.
Wang Jian looked around, looked at Bai Qiucha and others who were full of vigor, and said, ¡°The special training of the Beast Master Association is still booming with talent as before. The Legends of the Federation in the future might emerge from here.¡±
Zhao Futu smiled and said, ¡°Far from it, they still have a long way to go¡¡± Looking at the two people who were going on about their business, Zhou Yan, who wanted to regain confidence in thispetition, could hardly help himself.
¡°How long are these two going to talk? Let¡¯s start already.¡±
Xiao Yuan gave a faint smile upon hearing these words and said, ¡°Wait. These two can talk. Without a few hours, they can¡¯t stop. And haven¡¯t you noticed that not everyone has arrived yet?¡±
Hearing these words, Zhou Yan was stunned. She looked around and only then did she realize that Bai Qi was not there.
¡°Where is Bai Qi? Didn¡¯t anyone notify him?¡±
Bai Qiucha sighed bitterly, and said, ¡°I have notified him. But this guy is not picking up my calls and there was no response when I knocked on his dorm door. He must be asleep.¡±
This guy, hecks discipline! I will go and tear his dormitory door down now.¡± Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yan couldn¡¯t help butin. Before she could move, she was stopped by Lu Qing who said, ¡°Today is just a meeting, and there is no substantive assessment. There is no need to bother him.¡±
Hearing Lu Qing¡¯s words, Zhou Yan was immediately surprised and said, ¡°Qinger, are you crazy? Don¡¯t you dislike Bai Qi the most?¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses and said, ¡°I never said I had a problem with Bai Qi. It¡¯s just purely academicpetition. And Bai Qi is indeed better than me.¡± After Lu Qing said this, not only Zhou Yan, but also Xiao Yuan, Li Mu, and others who knew Lu Qing inside out were all a bit surprised.
Has that Lu Qing, who always looked down on anyone as a cker, changed?
¡®Well, Qinger, why don¡¯t you change back to your previous self? I¡¯m not used to you being this humble.¡±
Looking at Lu Qing, who looked indifferent, with absolutely no pretense, Zhou Yan was a bit ufortable. But Lu Qing had no intent of answering, she turnedherheadandstartedreadingabook.
After witnessing Bai Qi¡¯s many research achievements firsthand, she hadpletely understood the gap between herself and Bai Qi, and how naive her attitude was towards Bai Qi.
The correct approach to someone better than you is to keep pursuing.
So, after Bai Qi left that day, Lu Qing sent an apology message through the badge. However, for some reason, Bai Qi did not respond.
Seeing Lu Qing like this, Zhou Yan also seemed to understand. Thinking about her state after being defeated by Bai Qi, she was instantly ashamed.
So what if she lost? She wasn¡¯t the only one who lost. She could always win backter.
With this thought, Zhou Yan immediately regained her usual enthusiasm for battle. She even nned to directly challenge Bai Qi as soon as he appeared.
Just then, Wang Jian seemed to finally remember Bai Qi, the young man who was always on Yi Yu¡¯s lips. He looked around and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I see Bai Qi?
I even need to thank him for bringing the ck Sky Meeh. The Thirteenth Bureau has benefited greatly this time.¡±
Zhao Futu shook his head and said, ¡°Director Wang, you are too polite. Bai Qi must still be asleep now. You know, young people, their lifestyles are always somewhat irregr.¡±
True, young people nowadays are full of energy. When they get busy, they forget to rest. It¡¯s quite normal to oversleep.¡±
As soon as these two influential figures said these words, all the Beastmasters from both the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association fell silent.
The two big bosses, are you sure your consciences don¡¯t hurt when you say these words? Who was it that abided by punctuality for all activities? Wasn¡¯t it you?
Director Wang is too partial. I was only two secondstest time and I was deducted half a month¡¯s allowance on the spot. But when ites to Bai Qi, it bes normal?¡±
Seeing Wang Jian¡¯s nonchnt attitude, Tang Miao couldn¡¯t help but purse his lips. Wang Huaiforted him with a bitter smile, ¡°It¡¯s normal, if you were as good at making trouble as Bai Qi, Director Wang would probably not care about you.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll pass then.¡±
Tangmiao couldn¡¯t help but stick out his tongue as he heard that, saying, ¡°Three core patents, I would never be able to research those, even if you beat me to death.¡±
Bang!
Just then, the door to the assembly hall suddenly opened. All eyes turned at the noise, shockingly discovering that the neer was none other than Bai Qi. ¡°This guy, he really just woke up.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s sleepy-eyed appearance, whether they were from the Association or the Thirteenth Bureau, the young Beastmasters were all somewhat speechless.
This was after all arge-scale exchange activity between outstanding Beastmasters from two major departments ¨C couldn¡¯t he be a bit more serious about it?
However, it was obvious that Bai Qi was oblivious to this. His gaze quickly swept over the team from the Thirteenth Bureau, and he quickly found Yi Yu¡¯s location.
¡°Minister Yi, what you promised mest time¡¡±
Bai Qi was cut off mid-sentence when he realized that he was being stared at by nearly a hundred eyes. Among them were big shots like Zhao Futu. He immediately reacted, cleared his throat and said, ¡°Minister Yi, long time no see.¡±
¡°Yes, long time no see.¡±
Yi Yu smiled lightly, looked up and down at Bai Qi, and said, ¡°Bai Qi, have you been researching any new patents?¡±
Well, wasn¡¯t she simply assuming that it was about patents?
Everyone was surprised once again, but after looking at Bai Qi, they felt that it seemed pretty fitting.
Over these two weeks, Bai Qi was immersed in his own world without paying too much attention, but the outside world was already swept up in a wave of excitement because of his research. The top search list was almost entirely filled with information about Bai Qi.
The emergence of Rune Tier 2 Evolution prompts another surge in the Undead Department Beastmasters.¡±
Behind the talented Bai Qi, is there anyone pulling the strings?¡±
¡°The owner of three core patents, when will Bai Qi top the Federation Rich List?¡±
Although the third patent wasn¡¯t clearly mentioned, it didn¡¯t prevent Bai Qi from bing nationally known in the Federation. Coupled with the Zhuge family¡¯s behind-the-scenes push, Bai Qi had already be a leader among the new generation.????? n
Hearing Yi Yu¡¯s words, Bai Qi shook his head somewhat helplessly and said, Minister Yi, you think too highly of me. I¡¯m just a student. I just overslept because I stayed up toote reading yesterday.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡ as expected, all sess has its reasons. It seems like we at the Thirteenth Bureau will have to strengthen our theoretical studiester.¡±
Wang Jianughed heartily at that, whereas Tangmiao and the others all looked bitter. They stared at Bai Qi with resentful faces.
This guy, he managed to give them trouble even from a different department. Feeling those murderous gazes, Bai Qi pulled his neck in a little bit in disappointment, and quickly returned to the Special Training team.
¡°Since everyone is here, shall we start now?¡±
Zhao Futu looked at Wang Jian. Wang Jian also nodded and said, ¡°President
Zhao, please take the trouble to announce thepetition details.¡±
¡°Well then, I will just say a few words.¡±
Zhao Futu stepped forward and said, ¡°The main purpose of this jointpetition between the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association¡¯s Special Training is to select outstanding talents and assign them to more appropriate positions.¡±
¡°President Wang and I will decide on your assignments based on your performance in thispetition. Also, it¡¯s a crucial test for the members of the Special Training program to enter the Six Towers.¡±
¡°So, make sure to perform well.¡±
Despite this brief introduction, the spirits of everyone present fluctuated again. There was a simr notification before departure from the Thirteenth Bureau, not to mention the Association. It actually involved their stay in the Thirteenth Bureau as well as their relocations.
Simply put, what kind of training they would receive in the futurergely depended on thispetition.
Seeing everyone taking thepetition seriously, Zhao Futu nodded in satisfaction and continued, ¡°This exam is divided into two broad categories: theoretical and practical. We will calcte aprehensive ranking based on the final scores.¡±
¡°As for the rewards, you students from the Special Training program should be very clear.¡±
The moment Zhao Futu spoke, the hearts of the students in the Special Training group thumped. After seeing the reward chart disyed behind Zhao Futu, it indeed verified their bad premonition.
¡°For this reward, we will give the Special Training integral award in advance based on the ranking. However, it¡¯s only applicable to the top three students.¡± As he was saying this, Zhao Futu looked at Bai Qi and others, and said, ¡°So, if you don¡¯t want your rewards to be taken away, please make a great effort.¡±¡¯ Looking at Zhao Futu with a smirk that didn¡¯t match his age and status, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.
This rule was obviously targeting him, forcing him to take first ce, wasn¡¯t it? No wonder he was the president of the Association, he was indeed a cunning old fox¡
Chapter 245 - 241: The Popularization of the
Chapter 245: Chapter 241: The Poprization of the
Spirit-Control Orb
¡°Isn¡¯t Old Zhao afraid of letting these juicy opportunities slip away?¡±
Looking at the rewards that originally belonged to the top three in the Special Training Points Ranking, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask Xiao Yuan.
¡°As expected, the Federation Competition itself is co-organized by the Association and the Thirteenth Bureau. All assessments and rewards are handled by the co-organizers, but whether they are obtained or not depends on individual performance.¡±
Xiao Yuan shrugged, not caring at all, clearly having heard of this before.
¡°So, you¡¯re saying the original ranking list was just misleading us?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu speechlessly. Only the rewards for the top three in the points ranking were worthy of attention. If he couldn¡¯t get them, it would all be in vain.
¡°I don¡¯t care, I wouldn¡¯t be able to im the rewards for the top three in the points ranking anyway. It doesn¡¯t make a difference to me.¡±
Bai Yuxiao¡¯s face showed no motivation, she said, ¡°As long as I can scrape by with a passing grade to satisfy my dad, I don¡¯t care about the rewards.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Gu Shan, Ran Xu, Qiao Li, and other Third Stage Beast Masters nodded in agreement.
Without even considering the situation at the Thirteenth Bureau, just the few monsters on their side had nearly taken all the top ten positions. Something they couldn¡¯t get anyway, it didn¡¯t matter who got it.
Perhaps sensing the sentiments of the special trainees, Zhao Futu suddenly announced another rule.
¡°This rule is specifically for our special trainees. Thispetition also serves as the second stage assessment for the special trainees. The Association will award you points based on your performance. The requirements are not high, be it theoretical or practical. Every time your rank surpasses a Beast Master from the Thirteenth Bureau, you gain an additional 2000 points.¡±
When Zhao Futu announced this, the originally indifferent trainees suddenly erupted with an intimidating vitality, and Bai Qi almost transformed into a battle maniac, ready to physically confront everyone on the spot.
Two thousand points for one person, and it seemed almost fifty from the Thirteenth Bureau are participating, which means he could potentially umte one hundred thousand points in total.
And with one hundred thousand points, it meant he could redeem a mythical resource, right?
Thinking of this, Bai Qi could feel his blood boiling with the anticipation, even wishing thepetition could begin right now.
Seeing the overwhelmingpetitive spirit suddenly bursting forth from the Association side, Beast Masters from the Thirteenth Bureau shared perplexed looks, but they didn¡¯t back down either, they confronted the challenge with equally high spirits.
Seeing this, Wang Jianughed and said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s do the same.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Yi Yu, seemingly expecting this, looked at the Beast Masters from the Thirteenth Bureau and said, ¡°It¡¯s just as we nned, do you understand?¡±
¡°We understand!¡±
Wang Huai and others responded loudly as their military-trained spirits burst forth, creating an overpowering aura that seemed to outweigh that of the Association side.
¡°Let¡¯s end it for today, Beast Masters from the Thirteenth Bureau, rest well. We have prepared guest rooms for you. Tomorrow, we will officially begin thepetition.¡±
Wang Jian nodded and thanked, ¡°We appreciate your hospitality, President Zhao.¡±
¡°Eh, I thought we were starting thepetition today?¡±
Seeing that they still had to wait another day, Bai Qi was somewhat disappointed.
Such was his overflowing enthusiasm, and they wanted him to bottle it up for another day?
Just as Bai Qi was silentlyining, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian started moving towards him.
¡°Bai Qi, do you mind having a chat with this old man?¡±
Bai Qi was startled at first, but after seeing Zhao Futu standing next to him along with Yi Yu following behind, he quickly understood.
This was about negotiating the Spirit-Control Orb.
¡°Of course, I¡¯d be happy to.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and immediately found himself in the Tower of Decision. The scene seemed to flicker before his eyes.
As a Space Department Legendary Beast Master, coupled with the authority of the Tower Master, as long as the teleportation was within the Six Towers¡¯ area, it was almost instantaneous for Zhao Futu.
He needed to be more careful when speaking or doing anything within the Six Towers area from now on, as Zhao Futu might suddenly appear beside him.
Bai Qi reminded himself subtly, while Zhao Futu went straight to the point, ¡°Bai Qi, showyourtest research on the Spirit-Control Orb to Director Wang.¡± ¡°Oh? It¡¯s only been a few days, and you¡¯ve already modified the Spirit-Control Orb, Bai Qi?¡±
Wang Jian¡¯s eyebrows rose slightly as he asked, ¡°May I take a look?¡±
¡°Of course.¡±
Bai Qi took out a bronze-colored Spirit-Control Orb and handed it to Wang Jian, who, after a quick nce, showed a trace of surprise on his face.
¡°So this is the Rune mechanicalyout you discovered? Indeed, it¡¯s quite interesting.¡±
¡°ve contract, spirit power storage device, Runemunication, hmm, there seem to be confusing runes too?¡±
Okay then, did he just see through the whole structure just by ncing at it?
Bai Qi looked at Wang Jian with some surprise. Over the past two weeks, while cramming the basics of runes, he had not neglected the improvement of the Spirit-Control Orb either. In addition to optimizing the structure once again, he had added several confusing runes to lower the resistance of the targeted pet.
Because of that, Bai Qi had even specifically ranked this Spirit-Control Orb, and the ranking system was entirely based on the Evolution Egg.
¡°Although Director Wang is only a human, he was one of the earliest mech warriors. The prototype of the Mechanical Legend ¡®Morning Star¡¯ was designed by Director Wang.¡±
The original designer of the Morning Star?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, what a predecessor! He¡¯d have to foster a good rtionship.
¡°I can¡¯t do it anymore, I¡¯m too old, I no longer possess the creativity of young people.¡±
Wang Jian shook his head and handed the bronze ball back to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°I¡¯ve already thought about the Spirit-Control Orb. Indeed, it¡¯s worth promoting on arge scale. Originally, I nned to meet with Bai Qi first and try to further optimize the Spirit-Control Orb. Now it seems that this technology is very mature, so there¡¯s no need to dy.¡±
¡°But to prevent the Beast Masters from misuse that may affect the contract position, each Spirit-Control Orb must be produced by the Federation and under the Federation¡¯s supervision at all times.¡±
¡°I agree with this point. The influence of the Spirit-Control Orb on Beast Masters is still unknown, and there are currently no follow-up evolution enhancement methods. There is still a need for reasonable control.¡±
Zhao Futu also agreed, saying, ¡°In addition, some restrictions should be added to the Spirit-Control Orb.¡±
¡± I will follow your advice.¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t disagree, if the Spirit-Control Orb wanted to be poprized, it would definitely rely on the Federation. As for the restrictions, they can manage that.
¡°As for the restriction, it¡¯s simple. Just add a number and a locator during production, and have it monitored by the Snare.¡±
Wang Jian said, ¡°But what needs to be addressed now is the cement of the pet beast who has made a contract with the Spirit-Control Orb.¡±
Zhao Futu agreed deeply upon hearing this. The pet beast contracted by the Spirit-Control Orb was not like the Rune Contract. The constraint of the contractor on the pet beast was not that strong. If it wasn¡¯t managed carefully, it could easily cause chaos.
¡°Well, I¡¯ve actually thought about this.¡±
Listening to their conversation, Bai Qi silently raised his hand and said, ¡°Before the Spirit-Control Orb can effectively control the behavior of the pet beast, the Federation can designate a group of contracted pet beasts. For example, those who are rtively friendly to humans can contract on the spot when issuing the Spirit-Control Orb. As for contracting elsewhereter, it will have to be reported at a designated ce.¡±
¡°As for the issue of keeping pet beasts, those who have the conditions at home can breed them themselves. If not, breeding houses can be set up in every city to take care of these pets contracted by the Spirit-Control Orb.¡±
¡°The restriction is simple, just set a limit on the number of Spirit-Control Orbs each person can carry. For example, each person can carry a maximum of six Spirit-Control Orbs. Anything in excess will be transmitted to designated breeding grounds. The Snare should be able to handle this.¡±
Bai Qi said a lot, and suddenly saw Zhao Futu and others all staring at him silently. He couldn¡¯t help but scratched his head awkwardly, and said, ¡°But these are all my random thoughts, the specific operation still depends on both of you.¡±
¡°No, I think you¡¯re quite right.¡±
Wang Jian shook his head and said, ¡°Indeed, we need to select the beast management in the initial stage and consider others once the structure of the Spirit-Control Orb is perfected.¡±
Speaking of this, Wang Jian looked at Zhao Futu and said, ¡°This is a lot of work, we may need to trouble your association.¡±
¡°Absolutely, it¡¯s all for the Federation.¡±
The two looked at each other and smiled, apparently having reached a cooperation.
The Federation is responsible for production and supervision, and the association is responsible for issuance and supplying pet beasts. This is undoubtedly a win-win situation for both parties.
¡°As for the breeding ground issue, depending solely on the Federation would put some pressure. We can arrange for a biddingter, I think those corporations would be interested.¡±
¡°Bidding?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s ears pricked up at once. ¡°If it¡¯s a corporation, I do have a rmendation.¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
Wang Jian smiled and said, ¡°Your rmendation should be the Wuhou Corporation, right? Although it¡¯s a new corporation, it has opened many pet beast breeding grounds in various ces, so it¡¯s worth considering.¡±
Hearing Wang Jian¡¯s words, Bai Qi nodded vigorously.
After all, he and Zhuge Chen were old friends, and the Zhuge family had given him significant help. Now that there was a benefit, Bai Qi would naturally not forget the Zhuge family.
¡°Then, let¡¯s temporarily settle on the issue of the Spirit-Control Orb. I will arrange for someone to learn from you about the production of the Spirit- Control Orb soon.¡±
Wang Jian looked at Bai Qi and smiled, ¡°Congrattions, Bai Qi. You are about to get another core patent.¡±
Bai Qi grinned when he heard this. It was a surprise that the Rune Mechanical Structure could be a core patent, but he had expected the Spirit-Control Orb to do so for a long time.
And looking at the Federation¡¯s intent, it was clearly nning to promote on arge scale, so the core patent owner like himself could only benefit no matter what.
Ah, atst, he could finally achieve wealth freedom.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s expression, Wang Jian and Zhao Futu both smiled and didn¡¯t mind.
¡°Now, Yi Yu, it¡¯s time for you to fulfill your promise from the Law Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm.¡±
Hearing Wang Jian¡¯s words, Yi Yu nodded, took out three metal tes encryptedyer byyer, and said, ¡°Here are three Seventh Stage mechanical technologies. ording to our rules, you can choose one from them. As for the mythical level resources, I will arrange for someone to deliver them as soon as you specify.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, not caring about choosing the mythical level resources, but looked enthusiastically at the three Seventh Stage technologies in front of him.
Mastering Seventh Stage technology was the dream of every Mechanical Warrior.
Bai Qi took the three metal tes and saw their names clearly marked on them.
Armed branch: Terminal Material Science
Energy branch: Mechanical Fire Seed
Control branch: Quantum Mind Field
¡°That¡¯s it? What about the core Annihtion Weapon? Space Transmission technology?¡±
Chapter 246 - 242: Mechanical Spark
Chapter 246: Chapter 242: Mechanical Spark
When Bai Qi heard Yi Yu¡¯s words, he chuckled and said, ¡°The Annihtion Weapon is under national control, unless it¡¯s by the military or Beast Masters from the Thirteenth Bureau, no one has the right to control it. As for the Space Transmission technology¡¡±
Yi Yu pointed to the sky and said, ¡°Without the Snare and the Starry Sky Gate, it¡¯s very difficult for an individual to conduct Space Transmission.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly at the response. He understood the rationale, but wasn¡¯t it just exploring if they could exploit some loopholes?
With no other choices, Bai Qi could only once again focus on the three technologies before him.
Material Science was the core knowledge in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Regardless of what level a Mechanic was, they couldn¡¯t break away from Material Science. Only by continually synthesizing increasingly potent materials, increasing the basic attributes of all mechanics, could the creations of the Mechanics be stronger.
Endless Material Science, was indeed the pinnacle knowledge for the Mechanical Engineering Department nowadays. It could be said that once Bai Qi mastered Endless Material Science, he would never again have to worry about materials.
As for Mechanical Ignition, just like its name, itbines a mechanical creature¡¯s soul and energy into a spark. It could not only greatly strengthen the energy essence andputational speed of a mechanical creature, but also served as a life-saving means.
As long as the ignition did not extinguish, the mechanical creature would never die. Even if the ignition did go out, it could be reactivated through certain methods.
The final one, Quantum Thought Matrix¡ªa straightforward exnation would be a signal transmission technology that overlooks space and distance. Mechanical creations that held the Quantum Thought Matrix could ignore distances and remotely control other mechanical tools and even mechanical creations.
¡°What to do, I want them all¡¡±
Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. Energy and materials had always been significant factors limiting the development of mechanics. If he could master both of these technologies simultaneously, Schuck¡¯s strengths would definitely increase significantly. As for the leftover Quantum Mind Field, when viewed independently it might not be very useful, but coupled with the Mechanical Ignition, the oue would bepletely different.
Imagine having Schuck manufacture a Mechanical Corps, then hiding in thefort of his own home, remotely controlling it without any panic from opponents¡¯s attack. Even if someone managed to get near, the formidable power amassed thanks to the Mechanical Ignition and Endless Material Science could teach the others a lesson.
¡°Sure enough, the Seventh Stage is when the Mechanical series truly rises.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the three metal tes in his hand with reluctance, then lifted his head mournfully, saying, ¡°Can I have them all? If that¡¯s not possible, one extra will be just fine.¡±
Yi Yuughed on hearing this, saying, ¡°Certainly, as long as you¡¯re willing to join the Thirteenth Bureau, Bai Qi. Not to mention three, all Seventh Stage technologies are avable to you.¡±
I¡¯m amazed. Even when ites to recruiting people, is this level of swag really needed? Recruiting in front of someone else¡¯s boss without fear of getting beaten up?
Bai Qi was dumbstruck, but Zhao Futu was all smiles, seemingly unconcerned.
Seeing this, Bai Qi pondered for some time and quickly made a choice.
¡°Then I¡¯ll choose Mechanical Ignition.¡±
Although Endless Material Science couldpletely make materials free, Schuck¡¯s Etherium Liquid Gold was already adequate, so there was no urgent need.
Though Quantum Mind Field could be called a quirk, Bai Qi currently didn¡¯t have ns or the ability to assemble a Mechanical Corps, so its short-term results weren¡¯t significant either.
As for the Mechanical Ignition, it could not only enhance Schuck¡¯s energy essence andputational power, achieving a fundamental change in its life form, but also serves as another means to save lives. Its overall cost-effectiveness was rtively high on bnce.
¡°Are you certain?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s choice, Yi Yu reaffirmed once more.
¡°I¡¯m certain.¡±
Bai Qi reluctantly returned the other two metal tes to Yi Yu, while secretly setting a target in his heart.
When he gets a chance in the future, he definitely will wheedle these two technologies into his possession.
Well, I wonder if the improved technique of the Spirit-Control Orb will work anyway.
Under Bai Qi¡¯s hot gaze, Yi Yu put away the two metal tes and said, ¡°Now you have to choose a Mythical Material. Would it be from the Space Department?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head. In their initial trade, Bai Qi had proposed to exchange Space Materials, but the Thirteenth Bureau hadn¡¯t offered it. Surprisingly, this time they had taken the initiative.
However, the pity was that he already had the Space Crystal Stone given by Old Lady Fan. Getting another one could certainly significantly enhance Delta, but it could also be somewhat of a waste of resources.
¡°I choose Spiritual Materials.¡±
After only brief consideration, Bai Qi decided on the materials he needed.
After this contest ended, Gamma¡¯s basic welfare was basically settled. However, considering that he would also need to include a Twin Star Core, Gamma¡¯s first round of eligibility for Mythical Level material would also need to be revoked. All that left was Schuck¡¯s Beta and Delta.
As for why he chose the Spiritual Department, firstly, Beta was a Spirit-power mutation. Secondly, Bai Qi also wanted to strengthen Delta¡¯s mental power, thereby bridging the gap since he didn¡¯t possess Intimidation nor Domain Skills.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll deliver the materials within a month.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, then withdrew behind Wang Jian once again.
¡°Alright, we finished discussing business. Director Wang, do you want to continue wandering around or rest early?¡±
After wrapping up Bai Qi¡¯s situation, Zhao Futu finally started to speak. However, Wang Jian simply waved his hand and said, ¡°No need for sightseeing, my energy isn¡¯t as it used to be at my age. It¡¯s better to rest early.¡±
¡°I¡¯m quite excited about the bigpetition tomorrow-¡±
Zhao Futu said, ¡°That¡¯s fine, then I¡¯ll take you to your amodations. Bai Qi, you should also go back early and prepare. Don¡¯t miss out on the rewards.¡± Having said that, Zhao Futu snapped his fingers, and all four of them disappeared from the spot.
¡°We¡¯re back in the dormitory already? This Space Department is really convenient.¡±
Looking at the dormitory door in front of him, a hint of envy shed in Bai Qi¡¯ s eyes, which was soon filled with anticipation.
With the feedbacking from the Evolution Egg and countless materials piled up, as well as Delta¡¯s own evolution and regression, Delta¡¯s level approached the Four Stage at an rming rate. Bai Qi estimated that in about a week¡¯s time, it should be able to reach the Four Stage.
By then, he would use the Space Crystal Stone, and perhaps Delta could also acquire a type of Space Transmission skill.
¡°Let¡¯s not think about this now. The priority is to ensure I be the champion of thepetition first.¡±
Looking at the metal te in his hand, Bai Qi directly entered the Secret Realm Base.
In such a short time, it was difficult for the other three pets to make any significant improvements. However, Bai Qi intended to let Schuck test the ignition of the Mechanical Fire Seed. After all, the Mechanical Fire Seed, unlike the other two techniques, could achieve maximum results with umted time.
¡°Schuck, here¡¯s something good.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi entered the Secret Realm Base, the Husky rushed over first, its face full of anticipation. ¡°Beast Master, which Seven Stage technique did you choose?¡±
¡°The choices are fewer than we thought, but they are of good quality.¡±
Bai Qi told Schuck about the three techniques one by one, and Schuck agreed with Bai Qi¡¯s choices after a brief consideration.
¡°Even though upgrading Beta will also increase my calction power, this brain is already starting to limit me. If I could upgrade to the Mechanical Fire Seed, I could initially break free from the limitations of the brain.¡±
¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking too.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, opened the metal te ording to Yi Yu¡¯s instructions, and a small metal block appeared before him.
¡°This is the Fire Seed. It¡¯s not quite what I expected.¡±
Bai Qi picked up the block with some confusion and looked at it carefully for a bit, but he couldn¡¯t figure out anything. On the other hand, Schuck directly released several interfaces and connected the metal te that stored the block.
¡± I see. No wonder the Mechanical Fire Seed is ssified as a Seven Stage technique. The most difficult part is this block that carries the Fire Seed.¡±
After extracting data about the Fire Seed from the metal te, Schuck immediately understood the use of the Fire Seed and informed Bai Qi about it.
The metal te detailed the manufacture and activation method of the Mechanical Fire Seed, but the materials needed to produce this block that carried the Fire Seed were not avable for purchase from the outside world.
So, before Bai Qi had the ability to manufacture this kind of material, this technique was basically a one-time thing.
After all, without Seven Stage Materials Science foundation, one could not create a Fire Seed carrier.
Still, despite this, Bai Qi and Schuck were very satisfied. They impatiently connected to the block, injecting their consciousness and energy bit by bit into the block.
The most difficult part about creating a Fire Seed was to transfer the consciousness and energy of the mechanical creature to this block to ignite the Fire Seed. Mechanical creatures had deep connections with the brain they entrusted during their Spiritual Awakening. To separate was akin to a human soul leaving its body.
But Schuck was different. It was originally a split personality of Beta and had chosen to be in the brain willingly. For it, separating consciousness was an easy task.
Sure enough, as Schuck¡¯s consciousness kept pouring in, the metal block gradually lit up. Bai Qi even saw a strange me appearing on top, it was cold, yet full of life.
¡°I wonder what the Fire Seed, the spark of a mechanical life, will look like.¡±
Watching the me on the block growing more and more vigorous, Bai Qi was increasingly looking forward to it.
Finally, when thest strand of Schuck¡¯s consciousness was infused into the Fire Seed carrier, a piece of azure me suddenly burst into mes on the carrier¡¯s surface.
¡°Did it seed?¡±
Watching Schuck sessfully activating the Fire Seed on its first try, Bai Qi was very satisfied.
Theoretically, as long as someone provides a Fire Seed, mechanical creatures above the Three Stage could activate the Fire Seed. But the energy and calction power needed to activate the Fire Seed was not insignificant. The lower the level, the less likely it was.
And now that Schuckhad activated the Fire Seed at the Four Stage, it definitely had exceptional talent.
Yet it wasn¡¯t over. Just as Bai Qi was about to ask Schuck how it felt now, the Evolution Light shone on Schuck¡¯s body once more.
It was the Fire Seed that triggered a Racial Evolution!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth nearly reached his ears.
On the day before thepetition, not only did Schuck activate the Fire Seed, but it also triggered an evolution. It was as if Heaven wanted him to secure the first ce.
Chapter 247 - 243: Schuck Evolves into King-level?
Chapter 247: Chapter 243: Schuck Evolves into King-level?
The newly activated fire seed was burning even more intensely under the illumination of the Evolution Light, and even engulfed half of Beta¡¯s body.
Ahhh!!!
(What the hell is this, can I run away from this?)
Beta, who was originally meditating, was suddenly awakened by being engulfed in mes. Ignoring the shimmering Evolution Light on its body, it instinctively wanted to escape.
¡°Stupid dog, you are evolving, don¡¯t move around!¡±
Although surprised that Beta could still move around during its evolution, Bai Qi was too preupied at that moment to hold Beta ountable. He ordered it not to move, before quietly waiting by the side.
Gurgle gurgle?
(Boss, has Schuck evolved?)
Seeing Alpha, who had rushed over after hearing themotion, Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Schuck has activated his fire seed, which should have triggered a qualitative change.¡±
Ker-plunkker-plunk.
(Will Schuck evolve directly into King-level?)
Gamma curiously watched the blue mes on Schuck, the Husky, evidently harboring the urge to go and have a taste.
Gurgle gurgle.
(Probably not, Schuck¡¯s life essence hasn¡¯t increased to King-level status.)
Alpha¡¯s Fire of Soul flickered, and it quickly determined the current state of Schuck, the Husky.
¡°Alpha, are you sure about this?¡±
Bai Qi paused on hearing this and asked, ¡°Can you already see the intensity of the life essence?¡±
Alpha nodded, affirming Bai Qi¡¯s statement.
Blurp blurp.
(Even so, it should still be very strong, right? Delta can already feel the pressure from Schuck and Beta.)
Delta took a good look at the Husky a few times and gave its own opinion.
As the one in the team who had evolved and devolved the most times, Delta had basically tried all types and levels of evolution, so Delta¡¯s opinion was most authoritative.
It can¡¯t go straight to King level, huh?
After hearing the shared verdict of his three pets, Bai Qi sighed with a sense of regret.
If they could directly promote to the King level, coupled with Alpha, two King- level creatures could definitely dominate the field, even to the point where he wouldn¡¯t have to bring out Gamma and Delta.
Finally, as Bai Qi and his three pets eagerly watched, the Evolution Light on the Husky gradually dissipated, and Bai Qi immediately stepped forward to check it out.
¡°Huh? Schuck, where¡¯s your mechanical head? Why did it be like Beta¡¯s?¡± Looking at the double-headed wolf in front of him, which seemed no different from an ordinary Arctic Ice Wolf, Bai Qi was surprised. He carefully searched for a long time but couldn¡¯t find a single metallic creation on the Husky¡¯s body.
¡°It¡¯s just an additional ability awakened after the upgrade, I guess you could say it¡¯s a micro-control over materials.¡±
Blue light shed in Schuck¡¯s eyes and its skull immediately flipped around, instantly reverting to its original mechanical appearance.
¡°I see, what about the attributes?¡±
Bai Qi asked curiously, and Schuck promptly put its head against Bai Qi¡¯s body. The information on the Husky¡¯s evolution was then directly transmitted to Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Name]: War Apostle (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (psychic mutation)
[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Racial skills]: Mechanical Lord (Super ¨C Proficient), Mechanical Heart (Super ¨C Beginner), Mind¡¯s Eye (Advanced ¨C Proficient), Demonic Roar (Advanced ¨C Proficient), Thunder me Power (Advanced ¨C Proficient), Soul Whisper (Advanced ¨C Proficient), Electric Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 1E1130W
[Condition]: Evolvable
The race¡¯s name remained unchanged, but its bloodline level jumped directly to High-grade Lord, and its energy value exploded to 1E1130W.
To put it in perspective, when Alpha had leveled up to the King rank, it had only been 1E6840W, which was already far beyond the normal range for King-level. Yet Schuck¡¯s evolution has now directly exceeded one hundred million.
¡°Sure enough, awakening the Mechanical Fire Seed is no joke.¡±
Bai Qi grinned and looked again at the new skill acquired by the Husky.
[Skill Name]: Mechanical Heart
[Skill Level]: Super
[Ski11 Introduction]: A skill that can only be mastered after a mechanical creation awakens its fire seed, it can significantly enhance the control, attack, and defense factors of the mechanical creation, and will continue to strengthen over time.
Is this a continuously growing passive skill?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. Although it wasn¡¯t an active attack skill, it was the perfect skill for Schuck¡¯s future development.
Continuous enhancement over time means that Schuck could gradually be stronger even without training. Could there be a skill more suitable for Schuck, who is partial to researching mechanical creations?
¡°Congrattions, Schuck, you can now focus on your research.¡±
Bai Qi patted Schuck¡¯s head, and for once, Schuck disyed an expression of enjoyment, clearly in a very good mood.
Despite being born due to the partitioning of Beta¡¯s rationality, and despite bing incredibly rational under the influence of the smart brain, Schuck still had some instincts.
Awhoo¡
(This Super Skill doesn¡¯t belong to me¡)
Unlike Schuck¡¯s cheerfulness, Beta was looking at Bai Qi with a face full of grievance.
¡°Mechanical Heart only enhances the mechanical part, and it has no rtion to it,¡± said Bai Qi.
¡°Cough, cough, I already asked the Thirteenth Bureau for a mythical spirit resource, whether you can get it or not depends on you.¡±
Woof woof!
(Spirit resources?)
Beta¡¯s ears perked up instantly, and his expression became unusually determined.
m set on this material, even if Buddha himselfes, he can¡¯t take it away from me!¡± said Beta
¡°That¡¯s the spirit!¡± Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking at the four pets in front of him, ¡°All of you should understand how important tomorrow¡¯s battle is. Whether or not you can be number one in actualbat, we¡¯ll see.¡±
Crackle crackle!
(Don¡¯t worry, boss. Alpha will absolutely not lose!)
Woof¡
(For the sake of my spiritual resources, I¡¯ll fight them.)
¡°ording to my calctions, unless the Thirteenth Bureau has new participants, the probability of you, Beast Master, winning is 91.8%.¡±
Thump, thump¡
(Gamma will do its best too.)
Blub, blub¡
(So will Delta.)
Looking at the confident four pets, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s figure out the tactics for tomorrow¡¯s battle. These old foxes still refuse to disclose the specifics of thepetition. We have to n beforehand.¡±
Under everyone¡¯s hopeful gaze, the second day of the grandpetition finally arrived.
Besides the two big names Zhao Futu and Wang Jian, the other five tower masters from the association, a group of instructors, the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s apanied legends, and ministers like Yi Yu took their seats. Below them were a group of eager young Beast Masters.
Both sides of the Beast Masters prepared for this bigpetition for a long time. Now was the time to test the results of their efforts.
Finally, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian appeared together, went to the centre of the field. After exchanging a few polite words, Zhao Futu, as the host, stepped forward, ¡°In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the contestants, we will start with actualbat.¡±
Upon hearing what Zhao Futu had to say, many Beast Masters nodded in agreement.
Theory is extremely important, but the main standard for judging whether a Beast Master is strong or not is still practicalbat.
After all, in a battle with ferocious beasts, relying solely on theory is not sufficient.
Zhao Futu raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and continued, ¡°The practicalbat will be divided into two rounds. For the first round, you will be randomly divided into four groups. The Association and the Thirteenth Bureau will each have twelve persons. Each side will send people topete one by one. The winner will stay on and wait for the next challenger. The loser cannot challenge again until all contestants on one side are defeated, thereby ending the match.¡±
¡°After the end of the first round, we will select the top five winners from both sides to enter the second round of group battle. As for the specifics of the group battle, I don¡¯t think I need to introduce more.¡±
Pausing at this point, Zhao Futu said, ¡°Those who want to get the top three rewards, or those who want to earn points, will have to put in a lot of effort.¡± ¡°Challengepetition?¡±
After listening to Zhao Futu¡¯s words, Bai Qi was slightly startled.
It was fine to have a mere challengepetition, but the randomness of the nearly one hundred people from both sides divided into four groups was too high.
If unlucky, one might end up in a death group full of Four Stage Beast Masters.
¡°Never mind, let¡¯s just fight it out.¡±
Concerning luck, Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to think too much and quietly waited for the allocation result.
After borating the rules, Zhao Futu retreated to his seat and was reced by Wang Jian. Wang Jian clearly understood what everyone was thinking right now. He didn¡¯t waste time with small talk and pressed the random sorting button in front of him.
After a dazzling random sorting, four groups of contestants appeared on the screen. Everyone immediately began to look for their names.
¡°Oh no, I¡¯m in the same group as Bai Qi. I feel like I can justy down now.¡±
Bai Yuxiao was the first to find his name, but after seeing Bai Qi followed closely behind, he instantly felt deted.
By the usual standards of a challengepetition, the longer you stay on, the more points you get. On top of that, the points of the defeated are inherited by the victorious challenger.
Being in the same group as Bai Qi, going early would only pave the way for Bai Qi¡¯s victory while goingter would still result in a defeat. There was no hope, no matter from which perspective.
¡°Well, there¡¯s nothing you can do about this.¡±
Xiao Yuan and others sympathetically patted Bai Yuxiao¡¯s shoulder, releasing a silent sigh of relief at the same time.
The ranking of the two departments is done separately, but the same departments are put together.
To be selected among the top five, it is best to avoid Bai Qi or other simr skilled people, otherwise the odds of getting selected are low.
Luckily, apart from Zhou Yan and Lu Qing, who were ced in the same group, their Four Stage Beast Masters were scattered.
As for the students who were grouped with Bai Qi, they could only wish for the best.
After all, with five yers from both sides, if everything goes ording to n, the positions are already set.
The association side was full ofints, the same went for the Thirteenth Bureau side.
¡°I can¡¯t believe I was grouped with Xusheng, can I just give up now?¡± After seeing his name grouped with Li Xusheng, Tang Miao immediately felt disheartened. Wang Huai smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s the same. As long as you show your strength and take the stage early, you have a chance of getting to the next round.¡±
Hearing Wang Huai¡¯s words, Tang Miao felt better, but before he could say anything, a tall blonde woman with green eyes stepped forward, firing off a string of jibes.
¡°Only those who have no confidence in their abilities would worry about not making it to the next round.¡±
¡°This grandpetition will allow me, Lilith Borg, to teach you what is a real Beast Master!¡±
Chapter 248 - 244: Gu Shan VS Zhang Kai
Chapter 248: Chapter 244: Gu Shan VS Zhang Kai
Looking at Lilith, who was smirking down at him, Tangmiao felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly. He was extremely ufortable, but when he saw the list of those in Lilith¡¯s group, he shot her a look of sympathy.
Lilith, who had been waiting for Tangmiao to retort so she could show off her noble bloodline, was taken aback when Tangmiao unusually did not respond. Seeing the look in Tangmiao¡¯s eyes, a wave of nameless anger surged within her.
¡°Tangmiao, what do you mean by this?!¡± she demanded.
Tangmiao shrugged. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. I¡¯m just looking forward to your performance, Miss Lilith. Yes, that¡¯s it.¡±
Having said that, Tangmiao didn¡¯t wait for Lilith¡¯s response. He instead ran over to Li Xusheng and started discussing the line-up for the forting matches with a sycophantic expression.
There were five groups in thepetition, but only four people were picked for each side. If she managed to control the first round well, she still had a chance of advancing in the rankings.
¡°How dare you two lowly¡¡± Lilith began, her face full of anger.
But just as she was about to explode, a hand appeared on her shoulder.
¡± Lilith, watch your attitude.¡±
Another handsome young man who bore a resemnce to Lilith approached. ¡°Our performance today determines whether the Bo Ge family can return to the Federation¡¯s political circle, so don¡¯t forget our mission.¡±
¡°Yes, brother.¡±
As the young man¡¯s indifferent eyes swept over her, color drained from Lilith¡¯s face, rendering her visibly high-strung demeanor into a pale mask of anxiety.
Seeing Lilith¡¯s face, the young man nodded with satisfaction and returned to his seat. However, his gaze frequently drifted towards Bai Qiucha.
The Federation¡¯s only Soul Communicator, a descendant of the Bai family, could he still prevent the rise of the Bo Ge family?
Once the groups were sorted, everyone was teleported into the arena. Besides the participants of the first group, the rest of the people were seated in the audience.
¡°Hmm, is Gu Shan going to fight first?¡± Bai Qi asked, somewhat surprised.
ording to the rules of the first round, the more consecutive victories, the higher the chances of advancing to the second round. However, this required considerable stamina for both the Beast Master and their pets. Those who came out first were naturally subjected to the greatest pressure.
Although Gu Shan¡¯s current strength was not weak, even the newly promoted fourth-level Beast Masters among the special training students couldn¡¯t guarantee defeating him. However, Gu Shan¡¯s style ofbat inevitably made it difficult for him to fight protracted battles.
¡°He had no choice. Gu Shan¡¯s level is still a little low. If he wants to advance, he must make a breakthrough in one fell swoop,¡± Xiao Yuan replied with a shrug, adding, ¡°Moreover, Gu Shan might not necessarily lose in a long battle. Besides, isn¡¯t there Li Mu?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was taken aback. He had barely participated in the collective training sessions over the past few days. Except for a few people who often challenged him to umte points, he knew little about the progress of others. From Xiao Yuan¡¯s words, had Gu Shan made some progress?
With that thought in mind, Bai Qi was suddenly intrigued and turned his eager gaze toward the arena.
The moment the two teams of participants arrived, Leng Feifei, the referee for the first round, appeared in the middle of the arena. After confirming that both teams were ready, she said, ¡°Members of both teams, please send out your first participant.¡±
Hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s words, Gu Shan turned around and exchanged looks with Li Mu and the others before walking up to the stage. At the same time, a participant from the Thirteenth Bureau, a familiar face, walked out. It was Zhang Kai, who was also a Beast Master from Lingxi City.
¡°So, he ran to the Thirteenth Bureau. No wonder I didn¡¯t see him at the headquarters,¡± Bai Qimented, his previous doubts now cleared.
¡°But, does this count as infighting?¡±
Zhang Kai climbed onto the stage, looking at Gu Shan who still maintained his usual introverted demeanor. ¡°I thought you would have changed after attending special training. You seem to be unchanged.¡±
Hearing Zhang Kai¡¯s words, Gu Shan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but ended up closing it again. He just quietly looked at Zhang Kai, his thoughts unknown.
Seeing this, Zhang Kai shookhis head helplessly, saying, ¡°We were ssmates for many years, but for the sake of my performance, I cannot go easy on you.¡± ¡°Both contestants, you can start thepetition now.¡±
Seeing that Zhang Kai seemed about to keep talking, Leng Feifei immediately interrupted him, signaling for them to prepare forbat. As soon as Leng Feifei finished speaking, Zhang Kai activated his Silent Talent, summoning his three pets.
Meanwhile, Gu Shan, who was about to summon his pets, abruptly stopped, only managing to summon three out of his six pets.
Clearly, Zhang Kai had nullified Gu Shan¡¯s Beast Master space-enhancing talent.
¡°Without the number advantage, your Elemental Resonance might not be as effective,¡± Zhang Kai said with a grin. The Deand Ape was immediately summoned, while the Nocturnal Roon once again hid in the darkness. Another ck crow silently circled above Zhang Kai, its pair of blood-red eyes fixed on Gu Shan.
[Name]: Blood-eyed Shadow Crow
[Nature]: Super Energy Apartment
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: A super-energy creature that enjoys living in the dark, it can create illusions through its Blood Eye
Launching closebat with the Deatnd Storm Ape, causing diversions with the Nocturnal Roon, and receiving aid from the illusion magic of the Blood Eye Raven, Zhang Kai confidently believed that his team was well- equipped to handle any situation.
Of course, this includes Bai Qi¡¯s peculiar skull.
As Zhang Kai initiated the attack, Gu Shan did not panic in the least. The Scale Armor Beast, the Wave Turtle evolved from Water Cannon Turtle, and the Azure Leaf Python evolved from Emerald Snake were summoned simultaneously.
¡°One Lord, two High-grade Elites? With this lineup, you¡¯re certain to lose.¡± Zhang Kai, upon seeing this situation, smiled confidently and charged toward Gu Shan with his ck staff in hand, while Gu Shan did not panic at all. The Scale Armor Beast stomped heavily on the ground, erecting several earthen walls in front of Zhang Kai.
However, these walls didn¡¯t slow Zhang Kai down, who effortlessly shattered them, turning them into a shower of rubble.
In response, the Wave Turtle opened its mouth and a torrent of water gushed out, transforming into a giant wave that headed straight towards Zhang Kai.
Unfazed, Zhang Kai watched as the Nocturnal Roon suddenly appeared from the shadows, using its telekinesis to st a hole through the wave while simultaneouslyunching an attack on the Wave Turtle.
At that moment, numerous sprouts suddenly shot out from the broken stones that had been nourished by the wave¡¯s water. They quickly grew into sturdy vines that ensnared Zhang Kai before he could react.
¡°Using the Wave Turtle and the Scale Armor Beast¡¯s abilities to cultivate parasitic seeds?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyebrows rose. So Gu Shan had also learned how to flexiblybine abilities, no wonder Xiao Yuan had said that Gu Shan had changed.
But if it was only to this extent, it wouldn¡¯t be enough to secure a victory.
Indeed, as the Azure Leaf Pythonunched countless leaf darts at Zhang Kai, he, who previously had been firmly entangled, suddenly dissolved into countless raven feathers, while his real body suddenly appeared behind Gu Shan.
It was the illusion magic of the Blood Eye Raven!
With the aid of the Blood Eye Raven¡¯s magic and the Nocturnal Roon¡¯s telekic mimicry of the attack, Zhang Kai easily evaded the vision of Gu Shan¡¯s three pets and sessfullyunched a surprise attack.
¡°I have this game in the bag!¡±
Gazing at Gu Shan, who was virtually within reach, Zhang Kai wore a victorious smile, already picturing himself standing tall while being admired by the leaders.
Just at that moment, another towering earth wall sprang up before him, blocking his view of Gu Shan and his three pets.
Zhang Kai frowned slightly. After confirming that his Silent Talent was still working, the ck staff in his hands grew in size and shattered the wall.
However, behind the earthen wall was not the panic-stricken Gu Shan as he had anticipated, instead, there were three pets huddled together, already havingpleted their Elemental Resonance.
More importantly, these three pets were not the original ones that Gu Shan had summoned at the beginning.
The Sword Eye Cat, the Volcano Bird, and me-winged Snake, three attacking pets had unknowingly reced the previous three. The burning energy dispersed the surrounding darkness, revealing both the Nocturnal Roon and the Blood Eye Raven.
Quick substitution, one of the basic techniques of a Beast Master.
Seeing Gu Shan utilizing his advantage of the six pets in this way, Zhang Kai was surprised. As he instinctively wanted to silence Gu Shan¡¯s Elemental Resonance, he suddenly felt his legs tighten. Two vines had unknowingly emerged from underground and bound him.
¡°Damn it, did he notice that I shifted my target so quickly?¡±
Seizing the opportunity to summon all six pets simultaneously by Gu Shan, Zhang Kai hadpletely lost his ability to counterattack. Even after silencing the Elemental Resonance talent, he was unable to prevent the imminent energy wave from falling upon him.
Boom!
The heat of the st sent Zhang Kai flying. By the time hended, the Deatnd Storm Ape had automatically been dismissed from its possessed state and had lost allbat abilities.
¡°The first round, Gu Shan wins!¡±
Leng Feifei nced at the bewildered Zhang Kai and announced the result of the match.
Zhang Kai¡¯s lineup and talent were quite good. Unfortunately, hisbat sense wascking and he lost his footing confronted with a sudden incident. His loss was well-deserved.
¡°That¡¯s¡ unexpectedly quick.¡±
When he thought of how Zhang Kai was actually having such a tough time now despite having stood up to Alpha before, Bai Qi was surprised.
Has the strength of the top four in the two-city joint examination regressed so quickly within just a few months?
Hmm, it could also be that Gu Shan has be stronger.
By switching the summoned pets based on need, Gu Shan¡¯s operation was certainly much more flexible than just summoning all the pets at once and using their ultimate moves. The effects might be even stronger when the pets¡¯ Double Level progresses further, and a rationalbat strategy is implemented.
With a sessful initial victory, a rare smile appeared on Gu Shan¡¯s face. After a short rest, he returned to the ring.
As long as he maintained this condition, he could challenge three or four more people at least. Even if he could not enter the second round, this would be a decent performance.
Chapter 249 - 245: Holy Light Angel
Chapter 249: Chapter 245: Holy Light Angel
Thump thump thump¡
As Gu Shan was doing his utmost to regain his strength, the blond youth suddenly walked onto the stage, saying, ¡°I underestimated you, the dual talent user, by only sending out a Third Stage Beast Master.¡±
¡°To express my apology, I¡¯ll personally participate in the second round.¡±
¡°My name is Dean Berg, please advise.¡±
Watching the polite Dean, who didn¡¯t seem like he was here to fight at all, Gu Shan, who was not good at socializing, was firstly stumped, then his expression became serious. He summoned all his pets, standing ready for battle.
A Four Stage Beast Master couldn¡¯ t be dealt with using the same tactics as in a fight with Zhang Kai. With his third-stage power, Gu Shan only had a chance if he gave it his all.
¡°Gu Shan is going to lose.¡±
At the sight of Dean entering the field, Bai Qiucha suddenly sighed, while Xiao Yuan, who was also in the know, had a regretful look on his face.
¡°Is this Dean very strong?¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, saying, ¡°The Bo Ge family was an old family before joining the Federation, with a history only slightly shorter than the Bai Family. Most significantly, their family has a mythical species pet lineage.¡±
¡°Three geniuses of the Bo Ge family¡¯s current generation have each contracted a mythical level pet, and this Dean is the strongest among the three.¡±
Saying this, Bai Qiucha paused before saying, ¡°Bai Qi, you should also be careful. Lilith, from your group, is one of these three.¡±
¡°Mythical species pets huh¡¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips. Indeed, being born into such a privileged circumstance was impressive. The starting point was already at the mythical species, but he had the Evolution Egg, so he wasn¡¯t envious.
Well, let¡¯s see if he could procure some tissue from itter. Maybe he could also paste it onto his own pets, perhaps they would gain mythical bloodline too.please visit ¡± sitestorys(.)c0m ¡± maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
While Bai Qi and the others were talking, Dean had also summoned his pet. The moment that the pet appeared, the entire arena was cloaked in a dazzling white light, so bright that people couldn¡¯t open their eyes.
When the white light dissipated, there was still nothing in front of Dean, but Gu Shan¡¯s six pets had lost their ability to fight. On the backs of the six pets, all of them bore palm-shaped burn marks.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qiucha, and the others all had serious expressions on their faces.
Perhaps others didn¡¯t see clearly, but they saw it clearly.
In the moment when Dean¡¯s pet appeared, it attacked Gu Shan¡¯s six pets, almost simultaneously defeating them.
The mythical species, indeed terrifying.
¡°Was that thing just now, a bird-man?¡±
Bai Qi also saw the whole process of Dean¡¯s second kill of Gu Shan, but the form of Dean¡¯s pet left him somewhat surprised.
With its pure white wings and body cloaked in a holy white light, it looked almost exactly like the angels of Bai Qi¡¯s previous life.
¡°Bird man? You¡¯re not wrong, Dean¡¯s pet is indeed of angel bloodline. Even though it doesn¡¯t have the divine power from the myths, it¡¯s indeed strong.¡± Xiao Yuanughed and said, ¡°But you absolutely cannot mention this in front of the Bo Ge family, or else they will definitely keep it against you.¡±
¡°After all, while the Bo Ge family calls their pet an ¡®angel¡¯, it¡¯s only simr in appearance, different in essence.¡±
A real angel is a genuine mythical creature. If the Bo Ge family owned one, they wouldn¡¯t say the Federation, even the Ferocious Beast Tribe could not stand against the Bo Ge family.
¡°No problem.¡±
Bai Qi solemnly patted his chest, then turned his attention to Dean.
An Angel of the Holy Light series, perhaps it could help Gamma acquire light resistance in advance?
This might be worth a try¡
¡°But with Dean¡¯s attack so fast, can Li Mu win?¡±
With Gu Shan losing, the pressure fell on Li Mu, who was in the same group as Gu Shan, if even Li Mu couldn¡¯t defeat the opponent, they might get a straight loss?
¡°Hard to say, Li Mu tends to be more defensive and counterattacks, but Dean¡¯s Holy Light Angel is terrifying in both speed and attack power. I¡¯m not sure if Li Mu can withstand it.¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Li Mu¡¯s Sand Land Dragon was just an ordinary pet,pared to her ¡°Bone Dragon¡± or Dean¡¯s ¡°Holy Light Angel¡±, there existed an intrinsic gap. Unless Li Mu could figure out a way to solve the Holy Light Angel¡¯s speed, he would end up as a punching bag.
As expected, in the face of the formidable Dean, Li Mu stepped forward and directly summoned the Sand Land Dragon. Dean seemed to recognize that Li Mu was different from the others and also summoned his Holy Light Angel. Watching the tall figure behind Dean, cloaked in the Holy Light, Li Mu¡¯s face became serious. After hearing Leng Feifei¡¯smand to start, he took the initiative tounch an attack.
Following a roar from the Sand Land Dragon, yellow sand roiled around in the arena. He obviously intended to im the geographical advantage first.
¡°Kao, go!¡±
Watching the increasingly raging sand in front of him, Dean¡¯s face remained indifferent. The Holy Light Angel disappeared on the spot the moment Dean issued themand. When it reappeared, it formed a striking figure in front of the Sand Land Dragon.
¡°So fast!¡±
This thought shed through all spectators¡¯ minds. Before they had time to be surprised, they saw the Sand Land Dragon being flung backwards, a massive scorch mark visible on itsrge body.
Could such speed and strength truly belong to a four-stage creature?
The crowd exchanged nces while the first group of Federation students looked even heavier, seeing no hope for victory.
¡°The Bo Ge family has truly bred an array of talents over the years. Not only have they joined the council, but even their Beast Masters in the Thirteenth Bureau are exemry, aren¡¯t they?¡±
Watching the Holy Light Angel effortlessly repel the Sand Land Dragon, Zhao Futu had a strange smile on his face. Wang Jian, seemingly oblivious to Zhao Futu¡¯s implication, nodded and replied, ¡°After all, they are a long-established grand family. It¡¯s not surprising that they can nurture such talents.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true, but I wonder if they are still the same as their ancestors¡¡±
Thinking of something, Zhao Futu¡¯s aura gradually became cold. Wang Jian, who had been listless the whole time, slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the recovering Sand Land Dragon in the arena. He remarked, ¡°It seems this fight will be a bit more intense.¡±
¡°Hopefully.¡±
Zhao Futu smiled faintly and refocused his attention on thepetition.
The Sand Land Dragon, punched into a shambling retreat by the Holy Light Angel, managed to clumsily get back to its feet. Its thick sand shell slowly fell away, revealing an unharmed body while summoningyers of sand around it again to encase the Holy Light Angel.
¡°Not bad. You managed to defend yourself the instant the Holy Light Angelunched a surprise attack.¡±
Dean chuckled lightly, asking, ¡°But can you block this?¡±
After his words, Dean snapped his fingers. Kao, the Holy Light Angel, pulled his hands in the void, condensing a sword of light, andunched another attack on the Sand Land Dragon.
The attack had the same terrifying speed as before, but this time the Sand Land Dragon, having been prepared and sensing the movement of the Holy Light Angel, turned to sand and dodged the attack, meanwhile manipting the surrounding sand to disturb the Holy Light Angel repeatedly.
As a mythical creature of the Holy Light series, the Holy Light Angel possessed exceptional healing power. Small injuries wouldn¡¯t affect it.
Therefore, Li Mu did not resort to futile attacks; instead, he kept harassing from the periphery in search of an opportunity to strike a deadly blow.
However, Dean did not seem interested in battling with Li Mu. Finding that the Sand Land Dragon¡¯s true body was hard to locate, he suddenly paused his movements. Spreading his wings, a dazzling white light reappeared. The surrounding sand was instantly burned into a crystal, and the figure of the Sand Land Dragon was revealed again.
Yet Li Mu seemed unflustered. He issued a series ofmands, and the sand under the Holy Light Angel formedplex runes. The surrounding crystals, under the control of the Sand Land Dragon, fused together to form a massive crystal cage, forcing the Holy Light Angel towards the ground runes.
Simultaneously, these runes extended towards the sky as if they were alive. The moment they touched the cage, the frail-looking cage blocked the Holy Light Angel¡¯s attack.
¡°Solidifying, guiding, reflecting¡ battle runes?¡±
Looking at the strategy Li Mu employed, Bai Qi felt a sense of familiarity.
Wasn¡¯t this the strategy he used in the intercity joint exams? The difference was that he used a bone cage while Li Mu illustrated a sand crystal cage.
¡°So theid-back attitude shown earlier was all about preparing these runes.¡±
After sessfully taking control of the Holy Light Angel, Li Mu started to prepare his abilities serenely. This tactical move revived some confidence among the Federation students.
¡°I thought it was some trump card. Turns out to be runes?¡±
Witnessing the yellow sand, under the control of the Sand Land Dragon, rising higher and higher, Dean¡¯s face bore a hint of disappointment. He said, ¡°Kao, Purification Spear.¡±
Following Dean¡¯smand, the Holy Light Angel halted its act of hacking at the cage, formed a throwing gesture, and ance gleaming with a gentle light appeared in the Angel¡¯s hand.
Whoosh!
The Holy Light Angel threw thence with force, and it flew out at a horrifying speed. Wherever the light of thence passed, both the crystal cage and the sandstorm were rapidly disintegrated and disappeared. Before the Sand Land Dragon could dodge, it was punctured by the lightnce.
Aooo¡
The Sand Land Dragon, writhing with pain, reverted to its original form and fell from the sky. Arge wound appeared on its abdomen, revealing the scorched flesh inside. There was not even a drop of blood, but it was evident to discerning eyes that the Sand Land Dragon no longer had the ability to fight.
¡°The Purification Spear, it can even hit the Sand Land Dragon in its sand state and cause damage? That¡¯s kind of offside.¡±
Bai Qi looked intently at the Holy Light Angel in the field. In the face of such an attack, even Bai Qi began to question Gamma¡¯s defense. He really couldn¡¯t guarantee that Gamma could fend it off without resisting light.
Indeed, the mythical species weren¡¯t merely for show.
Bai Qi rubbed the fluff on his chin, his eyes gleaming with intense anticipation.
Once the training ended, he¡¯d find a way to obtain a mythical bloodline and attach it to his own pets.
No, he would attempt to slice off a piece or two of the creature during the majorpetition. Maybe he would secure the mythical bloodline directly.
Yes, that¡¯s settled!
Chapter 250 - 246: One through twelve?
Chapter 250: Chapter 246: One through twelve?
Li Mu was defeated, and the students that followed were clearly no match for Dean, but he didn¡¯t seem to intend to sweep them all. When there was only one person left in the association, he deliberately conceded.
However, everyone knew, the first round, the association had lost.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Host.¡±
Li Mu, who could be described as having been miserably defeated, was somber. He seemed to feel guilty about not being able to hold the first round for the association. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan gave a faint smile and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, someone will avenge you.¡±
Li Mu was stunned, and then saw that the participants of the second group had already been transported to the field. The association¡¯s first yer had already stepped onto the stage.
It was none other than Bai Qi.
Bai Qi nced over the group of ten Beast Masters from the Thirteenth Bureau After having a rough understanding of the opposing line-up, he turned his head to look at Bai Yuxiao and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but you might not get a chance toy.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Yuxiao gave an involuntary roll of her eyes, but didn¡¯t argue. She quickly left the stage.
Originally, she had wanted to score a few points ahead of Bai Qi. Looking at the situation now, she didn¡¯t have to dream about it anymore.
But the most detestable part was that she was upstaged by that bastard Bai Qi. After Bai Yuxiao took the lead in leaving, Ran Xu, Qiao Li and the other Beast Masters chose to retreat after exchanging nces.
Twelve against one was nothing. Bai Qi had done crazier things before. After he spoke out, there was no more reason for them to stick around.
Retreat, retreat.
Hahaha¡ It seems that the Beast Masters of your association have a lot of confidence in Bai Qi. I wonder if his talent in Beast Control matches his research talent,¡± Wang Jianughed heartily, and Zhao Futu¡¯s face was also full of smiles.
Talent?
This thing was no longer suitable for this little guy.
The behavior of the second group greatly boosted the morale of the association. But for the Thirteenth Bureau, it was a significant insult.
Among them were individuals who were groomed by the Thirteenth Bureau from an early age and some who were transferred from various departments. All of them were honed in the wild. Even if they weren¡¯t the cream of the crop, they were at least among the top.
So what did the association mean by this?
Sending out a student who was, at most, a year older?
Did they think they were some kind of abnormal beings like Bai Qiucha? If they wanted to emte Dean¡¯s breakthrough, they should at least have a little self- awareness.
¡°Association contestants, Bai Qi, Thirteenth Bureau, please decide on your participants promptly.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi, who was standing on the stage casually, Leng Feifei¡¯s lips curled in a smile. She showed no sign of ming the actions of Bai Yuxiao and the others.
The bureau nearly suffered aplete defeat. If they didn¡¯t retaliate, it would indeed be quite embarrassing.
After all, this was their home court.
Hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s urging, Lilith, who was in the same group as Bai Qi, was a bit restless. However, just as she was about to stand up, she was stopped by a look from Dean.
This Bai Qi is not as simple as you think. Just observe first.¡±
Dean sent a voice message to Lilith and then turned his gaze to Bai Qi.
¡°Then I¡¯ll go first.¡±
Seeing that no one was stepping forward, a determined-looking young man stepped onto the stage and said, ¡°Zhao Hai, Four Stage Beast Master, please enlighten me.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head and said, ¡°Bai Qi, Four Stage Beast Master, please enlighten me.¡±
¡°Both of you are ready? Then, let the battle begin!¡±
Leng Feifei immediately announced the start of the match. Both sides began to summon their beasts simultaneously. Zhao Hai¡¯s four beasts appeared almost simultaneously and immediately prepared for battle.
As a researcher of three core patents and the top scorer in the two-city joint examination, Zhao Hai didn¡¯t underestimate Bai Qi. In addition to his military background, he gave it his all right from the start.
However, Zhao Hai¡¯s state onlysted a moment before he waspletely thrown off guard.
The reason was simple. Bai Qi had only summoned one beast.
A slime? Is this how you treat your opponents?¡±
A trace of resentment shed across Zhao Hai¡¯s face. He could ept defeat, but he couldn¡¯t stand the disrespect.
Seeing the indignant look on Zhao Hai¡¯s face, Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to belittle you. I¡¯m just nning to use it to break ¡¯ through all of you. Everyone is the same.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi spoke, the Thirteenth Bureau fell silent. On the association side, after a short silence, Zhou Yan was the first tough.
¡°Indeed, when ites to acting arrogant, Bai Qi wins!¡±
Bai Qiucha shook her head in exasperation and said, ¡°But isn¡¯t this a bit too mocking? Gamma is only one of Bai Qi¡¯s three pets. Won¡¯t this anger them?¡± ¡°So what if it¡¯s one of the three pets? I¡¯ve never thought of it as just that.¡± Xiao Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, ¡°It was the first time I felt helpless against an opponent.¡±
Don t think too much. Focus on your own uing battles.¡±
Lu Qing pushed her sses up and reminded, ¡°If this guy overshadows us, and our performancester are not up to par, the president and the others won¡¯t let us off.¡±
The crowd was taken aback by the announcements, starting to ponder their future strategies, while the atmosphere in the arena had already hit its peak. ¡°I recall Bai Qi used one of the skeletal and one of the wolf species in the Two Cities Joint Exam, right? So, this slime creature is his third pet?¡± ¡°Does he really think he can trounce us all with just three pets? Even Dean would never dare to be this audacious, right?¡±
Damn it! We must teach him a lesson on proper demeanor!¡±
The crowd below erupted in outrage, and as one of the parties involved, Zhao Hai was even more incensed.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you¡¯d better have no regrets!¡±
As a military-affiliated Beast Master who had grown in actualbat, Zhao Hai would not be entangled in thoughts concerning fairness. Once Bai Qi had made his choice, he could not me others for the consequences.
Following Zhao Hai¡¯s order, the four-headed petsunched a simultaneous attack on Gamma. Gamma¡¯s jelly-like body was battered and distorted, flopping about in the air before finally falling to the ground after a while.
But even then, there was no sign of injury on Gamma. Instead, he formed a pair of big, confused eyes, looking nkly around.
Quack, quack?
(Master, is the match starting?)
¡°Indeed, the sooner we finish, the earlier we can knock off work. So, stop wasting time.¡±
Quack, quack!
(Gamma understands!)
After receiving Bai Qi¡¯sbat instructions, Gamma exhibited a rare surge of fighting spirit. He lightly hopped on the ground, and three auras of green, red, and dark instantly spread across the entire field. The four-headed pets, which¡¯ had previously been attacking vigorously, suddenly felt a change in their bodies.
Toxic corrosion, blood surges, energy depletion, and an incredibly annoying sensation of being burned by mes.
The influx of several negative statuses caused their conditions to plummet drastically. Realizing the problem, Zhao Hai immediately ordered his four-headed pets tounch an all-out attack on Gamma.
But regardless of their continuous attacks, Gamma showed no signs of injury and became even more spirited.
Being cautious, Zhao Hai¡¯s four-headed pets didn¡¯t venture too close. After all, aura-ss skills are stronger the closer they are to the center. Thus, they all utilized long-range skills.
And these energy-form skills, to Gamma who had basically maxed out resistance to all elements, were as inconsequential as being given vegetables. Nevertheless, having honed his skills in actualbat, Zhao Hai promptly changed his strategy as his long-range skills proved ineffective. Two pets continued to provide long- range cover while the other two quickly closed in,unching a flurry of closebat physical attacks on Gamma.
This time, their attack finally worked. Gamma¡¯s jelly-like body was shattered into countless pieces, scattering across the ground.
¡°Is that it? Dean has be overly cautious.¡±
Seeing the state of affairs, Lilith strained her brow slightly. Indeed, while impressive, Gamma¡¯s three aura skills and considerable energy resistance mean little with such poor physical defense abilities, proving that he is not destined to go far.
At this moment, Zhao Hai, who had believed he was about to win, suddenly felt his pets weakening at a rapid pace. One of them even appeared faint and was undoubtedly affected by the toxicity affecting the organs.
¡°How is it possible?¡±
A disbelieving Zhao Hai looked around to see that the three auras on the ground did not disappear. Instead, many more sprang up,pletely encircling the four-headed pets leaving no room for them to move.
The source of these auras was none other than Gamma¡¯s scattered fragments. [Name]: Undying King (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Bloodsucking Aura (High Level -Perfect), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level -Perfect), Split (Mid-Level -Perfect), Mimicry (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Corrosion (Low Level -Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Mid-Level ¨C Perfect)¡Golden Cicada Shelling (Super Level -Beginner), Sacrificial Aura (High Level -Skilled), Energy Diversion (High Level -Skilled), Life Energy Conversion (Super Level -Skilled).
[Energy Value]: 4E6800W
After several days of intense enhancement training, Gamma had jumped to the fourth stage, and his energy value had exploded to over 400 million.
Note that only when Lord ¨C level creatures advance to the fifth stage they will have 400 million energy. Yet, Gamma has already achieved this at the fourth stage.
The physical mutations had essentially revealed its full potential under the enhancement by the Evolution Egg.
With such an astonishing amount of energy as support, all of Gamma¡¯s skills were greatly enhanced in scope and duration. Even the energy value carried by the split Gamma bodies might not be inferior to creatures of the same level.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai finally realized that he was not Gamma¡¯s match. With gritted teeth, he chose to concede.
Whether it was the Deadly Poison, Bloodsucking Aura or burning effect, the longer they persisted, the more damage they inflicted on the pets. If the match continued, irreversible injuries might ur.
¡°Hmm, he conceded just like that?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Hai¡¯s quick forfeit. He then signaled Gamma to absorb the statuses on the four-headed pets and returned.
¡°Thankyou, I admit my defeat.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi even help heal his pets, the resentment Zhao Hai had harbored in his heart gradually disappeared.
Perhaps, he indeed had the strength to defeat all of them.
Chapter 251 - 247: The Contrast Between Ice and Fire
Chapter 251: Chapter 247: The Contrast Between Ice and Fire
Seeing Zhao Hai¡¯s defeat, Lilith couldn¡¯t help wanting to step forward again, but Dean seemed determined to see Bai Qi¡¯s limit, and he still didn¡¯t agree to let Lilith join the fight.
Lilith didn¡¯t say anything, and the other Beast Masters of the Thirteenth Bureau finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, one after the other, stepped up to the challenge.
As for the result, it was obvious.
Crunch crunch.
(Master, there are so many vors of energy here, Gamma likes thesepetitions!)
After defeating six Beast Masters in a row, although Gamma had also improved a lot by using the Evolution Egg, he was a bit lonely without fodder.
¡°That¡¯s fine, just eat slowly.¡±
Bai Qi chuckled, looking at the Baili Hanhai who was slowly stepping onto the stage, said, ¡°Long time no see.¡±
¡°Indeed, it¡¯s been along time¡¡±
Without Baili Huangmo to finish his sentence, Baili Hanhai¡¯s speech seemed a bit strange, but Bai Qi didn¡¯t mind as they had done tasks together before. ¡°Shall we begin?¡±
¡°No¡¡±
Bai Li Hanhai nodded, two arrays appeared in front of him, but not his main pet, the White Ice Boa, rather two pupae that looked simr but hadpletely opposite auras.
[Name]: Ice Crust Pupa
[Nature]: Insect ss
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: Evolved from Ice and Fire bugs by splitting. It has ice attributes.
[Name]: Fire Armor Pupa
[Nature]: Insect ss
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: Evolved from Ice and Fire bugs by splitting. It has fire attributes.
¡°Ice and fire attribute? Is it going to cooperate with itself?¡±
Bai Qi raised his eyebrow at this. The Baili Brothers were best at Ice and Fire Combination Tactics, and he didn¡¯t expect that they would still y this way after being separated.
As soon as the Ice and Fire bugs appeared, they began the attack. They didn¡¯t adopt the strong attack strategy like previous challengers, but each spat out bug silk wrapped with ice and fire attributes around Gamma.
Not only that, but the two types of enchanted bug silk ignored the conflict between the attributes and entwined in perfect harmony, apparently ignoring the burning effect of the Sacrificial Aura.
¡°Ice and Fire Fusion Silk?¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly upon seeing this. Although it wasn¡¯t the same powerful Ice and Fire amalgam that the two brothers used before, this kind of fusion silk was quite troublesome. The feeling of being wrapped in it¡
However, Gamma didn¡¯t seem to care about the ice and fire attributes carried by these bug silks. Its resistances to these two elements had long been perfected, and the damage had been reduced to a minimum, slower than its self-recovery speed.
Therefore, under everyone¡¯s speechless gaze, Gamma had started to consume the bug silk in a rxed manner, its enjoyment of the food made the surrounding audience hungry.
¡°What should we do, I suddenly feel like having noodles.¡±
Zhou Yan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, seemingly also wanting to take a bite of this Ice and Fire bug silk. The others, like Xiao Yuan, just gave a helpless smile.
¡°Bai Qi¡¯s slime monster is getting freakier and freakier.¡±
As Gamma¡¯s first opponent, Xiao Yuan had personally witnessed Gamma¡¯s growth.
From the beginning of enveloping and absorbing energy, toter using a blood-sucking Aura, and now even starting to eat opponent pet¡¯s bug silk.
Xiao Yuan couldn¡¯t help wondering, if Bai Qi could train it into a legendary creature, then was there anything that Gamma couldn¡¯t consume?
¡°But doesn¡¯t Bai Qi seem a bit too careless, it¡¯s obvious that the opponent is stalling for time.¡±
Bai Qiucha nced at the Ice and Fire bugs, which were still spitting silk and even wrapping themselves up, and seemed to realize something.
¡°The Ice and Fire bugs can not only split and evolve into twopletely independent individuals, but they can also converge in a short time to be a stronger individual. Perhaps the opponent intended to fight Bai Qi with a fused body from the very beginning?¡±
Lu Qing quickly found data on Ice and Fire bugs in his memory and said, ¡°If Bai Qi doesn¡¯t n ahead, the skills used by the fused Ice and Fire bugs may not be defended by ordinary resistance.¡±
¡°It looks like Bai Qi knows his opponent. Perhaps he has some other n?¡±
Bai Qiucha nced at Bai Qi, who looked quite rxed, and showed full confidence in him. The others also agreed on this.
If anyone here would pull a clever trick out of their sleeve, it should be Bai Qi-
However, although everyone had high expectations of Bai Qi, he didn¡¯t have any new tactics in mind, but let Gamma do his thing freely.
Gamma¡¯s resistance skills had long been maxed out, but there was no sign of it waking up anytime soon.
ording to the Skill As, being in a high concentration of nature for enough time would likely lead to awakening. Prolonged periods weren¡¯t feasible for now, but an escted intensity seemed to be enough.
If they could awaken one or two resistance skills and then upgrade them to elemental resistance, there might be some unexpected gains.
¡°What¡¯s the deal with Bai Qi? Is he going easy on them because they¡¯re old acquaintances?¡±
From the Thirteenth Bureau, Tangmiao scratched his head with curiosity. He didn¡¯t understand Bai Qi¡¯s n. Wang Huai nced at Bai Qi with a scrutinising look and said, ¡°Perhaps Bai Qi is brewing some ns. Hanhai should speed up his actions; otherwise, I¡¯m worried he won¡¯tst till fusion.¡±
Due to the weakened effect of the Sacrifical Aura, the Deadly Poison Aura had a mediocre effect on the insect system. So, Gamma rather single-mindedly recalled the other two auras, exerting his Energy Absorption Aura fully.
Because of this, the power of the Energy Absorption Aura was maximized. The dual-nature energy attached to the Ice and Fire silk within its coverage area slowly dimmed.
Undoubtedly, it was absorbed by the Energy Absorption Aura.
¡°It¡¯s ready.¡±
At that moment, Baili Huangmo suddenly spoke, and echoed from Baili Hanhai, two worm cocoons burst open, a blue butterfly and a red moth crawled out.
[Name]: Ice Wind Butterfly
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: Evolved from Ice Crust Pupa. It can summon the wind of extreme ice, frost everything.
[Name]: me Moth
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: Evolved from Fire Armor Pupa. It can use its extremely high body temperature to attack enemies.
¡°They can evolve duringbat? That¡¯s a bit like Delta.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s interest was piqued as he watched Baili Hanhai¡¯s two bugs evolve.
He would have to be vignt of these pet resources in the future. Perhaps he could find a way for Delta to evolve or extend its evolution.
After sessful evolution, Baili Hanhai changed his earlier dawdlingbat style,unching a fierce attack on Gamma.
The me Moth was the first to act. The moment it broke out of the cocoon, it flew straight towards Gamma. The light along its way twisted due to its body¡¯s high temperature.
The me Moth, even though it was an insect, had extremely strong close-rangebat skills, with its high temperature being the most potent weapon.
Gamma sensed the high temperature of the me Moth¡¯s body and reluctantly let go of the Ice and Fire bug silk, beginning to consciously enhance his defense.
Passive skills were different when consciously invoked.
The me Moth rammed directly into Gamma. The terrifying high temperature immediately burned Gamma¡¯s body into a bright red area that kept spreading. Green heat waves even appeared above Gamma¡¯s head.
Although Gamma had me resistance, it mainly immuned from the burning effect. High-temperature damage like a me Moth¡¯s was still effective.
But Gamma¡¯s constitution was a bit abnormal. In just a short moment, his body gradually adapted. His once bright red body gradually returned to its original jade-green appearance.
However, Baili Hanhai¡¯s attackwasn¡¯t just that. Seeing Gamma adapt to the me Moth¡¯s high temperature so quickly, the ready Ice Wind Butterfly forcefully pped its wings, and a bitter cold wind came out of thin air, blowing towards Gamma.
This cold wind was sudden and dreadfully low in temperature. The ground that was about to melt under the me Moth¡¯s heat was instantly covered in frost and began to crack.
Faced with such a sudden temperature change, even steel might not be able to withstand it, let alone ordinary soil.
After the Ice Wind Butterfly summoned the ultra-cold wind, me Moth suddenly attacked, clutching Gamma tightly to prevent him from escaping and increasing the force to raise the temperature of Gamma¡¯s body.
If the difference in temperature on both sides wasrge enough, even Gamma with his strong defense couldn¡¯t withstand it.
Indeed, as the ultra-cold wind fell on Gamma, a thickyer of ice immediately covered Gamma¡¯s bright red body. Both Gamma and me Moth, wrapped inside the ice block, showed fine cracks.
Soon, the ice shattered, Gamma¡¯s body, frozen into an ice block, fell apart. But the me Moth just shook off its outer shell and crawled out, unscathed.
They both split from the same mother body, naturally having the ability to counter the other¡¯s skills. Otherwise, killing each other would be foolish.
¡°So, did Bai Qi lose?¡±
Looking at the unmoving Gamma on the ground, everyone else was a bit confused. But since Leng Feifei didn¡¯t announce the result, they dared notment randomly.
After all, there were no rules as regards the number of summoned pets for this challenge. Unless one party chose to admit defeat, or all pets were incapacitated, thepetition won¡¯t easily be announced as over.
Unlike everyone else¡¯s curiosity, Bai Qi was extremely calm. ¡°I thought you¡¯d directly forge into an Ice and Fire bug and then attack. I didn¡¯t expect you to y so well. You¡¯ re indeed from the special attack crew.¡±
Bai Qi gave a thumbs up to Baili Hanhai, who seemed to grasp something. He immediately let the two bugs gather again, watching Gamma¡¯s fragments on the field warily.
To everyone¡¯s surprise, the ice-cold fragments slowly melted and wriggled back together, the look on the face was full of contentment.
Squelch. Squelch.
(Master, can you make two rooms simr to this for Gamma in the future, please? Gamma feels sofortable.)
Chapter 252 - 248: Mimicry? Just Basic Skills
Chapter 252: Chapter 248: Mimicry? Just Basic Skills
Hearing Gamma¡¯s words, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh.
Gone to the sauna and then soaked in an ice pool, this guy Gamma really knew how to enjoy himself.
But Gamma¡¯s suggestion was not bad, once he left the headquarters there will be no free extreme environment simtor like the Tower of Competition, it would be more convenient to set up a few on his own.
Anyway, Alpha¡¯s attributes were abundant now, might as well create a few for a start.
¡°No problem, but time is running out, let¡¯s deal with the fight first.¡±
Bai Qi pointed at the two bugs closely adhered together, where ice wind and mes were constantly blending. Knowing that Baili Hanhai was about to use his trump card and enter his final state.
Ka-pu, ka-pu.
(Yes, master.)
Seeing this, Gamma nodded, then numerous green tentacles suddenly emerged around the Ice and Fire bugs, wrapping them up with a speed faster than sound.
And the source of these tentacles was Gamma himself.
¡°Did you sneakily release the split while the ice and fire were mingling?¡±
Dean, who had been closely observing Bai Qi¡¯s actions, gave a slight nod at the sight, then sent another message to Lilith.
¡°You¡¯re up next.¡±
Upon receiving the message, Lilith¡¯s eyes brightened instantly, she had waited so long and wished she could immediately go up there and pull down Baili Hanhai.
Being one of the three most talented young people in the Bo Ge family, Lilith had always been suppressed by Dean. Although Dean was destined to inherit the family leader¡¯s position in the future, if possible, Lilith also wanted to strive for some power for herself.
And the best way to do that was to achieve a dazzling victory right here!
¡°Since you¡¯re so good at fighting an endurance battle, I¡¯ll defeat you as fast as I can!¡±
In the arena, the progress of the Ice and Fire bugs merging was abruptly interrupted by Gamma¡¯s replicates. They activated their skills trying to rid themselves of the tentacles, but to no avail. Those replicates didn¡¯t fear damage at all and clung tightly to them.
At the same time, the slowly squirming Gamma suddenly threw out a tentacle, whichnded on the ground near the bugs, then gently pulled them towards him.
Then, under the helpless gaze of Baili Hanhai, Gamma¡¯s body suddenly erged, directly covering the bugs. Within a few seconds, the anomalies on the bugs¡¯ surface all disappeared, they didn¡¯t even have the strength to struggle.
Gamma¡¯ s original absorption ability was still there although Energy Absorption had be Bloodsucking Aura. He no longer needed to touch his opponent to absorb their blood and energy, but his absorption ability was even more powerful than before.
¡°Host.¡±
Seeing that his energy had been almost entirely absorbed and the Ice and Fire bugs didn¡¯t have the strength to fight anymore, Baili Hanhai decided to concede.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll treat you to dinnerter.¡±
Bai Qj waved his hand, Gamma immediately stopped absorbing energy, returned some energy to the Ice and Fire bugs, then came back to Bai Qi.
¡°Alright.¡±
Baili Hanhai was clearly depressed from the loss, his speaking style had even changed to that of Baili Huangmo¡¯s.
¡°People who have already lost should stop babbling here, hurry up and descend.¡±
Before Baili Hanhai even left, Lilith stormed onto the stage and challenged Bai Qi straight away.
¡°Summon your most powerful pet, it¡¯s rare for me to be in such a good mood.¡±
Looking at Lilith with such a condescending attitude, Bai Qi sighed exasperatedly.
Why was there always someone so arrogant wherever he went? Couldn¡¯t they learn a bit of humility?
¡°No need, to change to another one would be humiliating, just stick with this one.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, nced at Baili Hanhai who was rarely showing his displeasure, and said: ¡°It was a bit tiring just now, let¡¯s end this quickly.¡± ¡°You!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi acting as if he had her under control, the usually proud Lilith suddenly became infuriated and cold.
¡°This is your own choice, I won¡¯t take responsibility for any consequences.¡±
Having said that, a bright white light suddenly shed before Lilith, and an Angel appeared in front of Bai Qi. It somewhat resembled the Holy Light Angel, but its form was obviously female.
[Name]: Judgement Angel
[Nature]: Holy Light Series
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Description]: Evolved from inheriting some of the Angel¡¯s bloodline, it has the ability of Angel¡¯s Judgement.
Humming¡
Being so close to the Judgement Angel, the Evolution Egg, which had been uninterested in most creatures since it advanced to the Gold Level, finally began to resonate, continuously urging Bai Qi to touch it.
¡°So excited, it seems like a real Mythical species.¡±
Seeing the situation, Bai Qi slightly nodded and said to Gamma, ¡°Gamma, don¡¯t be too harsh when you make your moveter. It¡¯s enough to restrict them from taking action. Let me do some progress.¡±
Chuckle, chuckle.
(Don¡¯t be too harsh? Uh, can I break their arms and legs?)
¡°Cough, cough, don¡¯t say such brutal things. We are all cultured people. Just take them out of action.¡±
Bai Qi coughed lightly and kindly reminded Gamma. Gamma seemed to understand, though not quite, and returned to the ring.
¡°Are you ready? Then I will start.¡±
Seeing that Bai Qi was ready, Lilith patiently performed an aristocratic prebat courtesy. Suddenly, a sh of white light appeared, and a long spear wrapped in white thunder emerged in the Judgement Angel¡¯s hand, pointing towards Gamma.
[Skill Name]: White Thunder
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Description]: Thunder imbued with the power of Holy Light greatly suppresses dark matter energy. It is said that Angels use it to judge all evil in the world.
The reason for Lilith¡¯s arrogance was the Judgement Angel¡¯s ability. With the White Thunder skill, all opponents fell before her.
Even though Gamma¡¯s defense was unusually strong, Lilith did not believe her White Thunder could be resisted.
Moreover, based on her observation earlier, Gamma seemed tock manybat methods, relying only on his insane defensebined with three light skills for continuous attrition.
And this tactic, to an Angel, is the most foolish.
But what surprised her was that Gamma did not use a counter-attack strategy this time.
The moment the Judgement Angel attacked, Gamma¡¯s body began to wriggle and swell rapidly, transforming into a long-horned, green demon, the Furious Guardian, Delta¡¯s evolution after exposure to evil power.
[Skill Name]: Mimicry
[Skill Level]: Low Level
[Skill Description]: Can change one¡¯s own appearance.
As the only pet in the team with a proper transformation skill, except for devouring targetsrger than itself, Gamma pretty much neglected this skill. However, considering the other creatures in the team could change form, Gamma also included it in his skill set. The Furious Guardian was his first choice.
However, Gamma¡¯s transformation speed was slower than the Angel¡¯s attack. Gamma had just formed a rough outline when it was pierced by the Angel¡¯s spear, ripped into countless fragments by the surging White Thunder.
But thanks to the Split skill, these attacks could not cause fatal damage. Apart from the light attribute melting part of his body, the thunder attribute¡¯s damage was reduced to the minimum by Gamma.
What¡¯s more, those split bodies astonishingly all transformed into the Furious Guardian and began to merge, intending to form aplete Guardian.
¡°Does it have lightning resistance too?¡±
Lilith frowned slightly but soon noticed the effect of the light attribute on Gamma and immediatelymanded the Judgement Angel to speed up the attacks.
In the blink of an eye, White Thunder was bright, jelly flying all over the sky. The speedy war that Bai Qi had proposed now looked ridiculous, and there were whispers among the surrounding spectators.
Moreover, the two big shots in the main stand were also discussing.
¡°The Judgement Angel, a Mythical creature, indeed has a strong advantage.¡±
Zao Futu, watching the impressively offensive Judgement Angel below, said, ¡°This kind of talent being sent to the Thirteenth Bureau shows how determined the Bo Ge family is in making theireback.¡±
Wang Jian smiled and said, ¡°This was decided by the council. The old man doesn¡¯t mind having more talents in the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
¡°Moreover, even though it is a Mythical creature, it seems it has not made Bai Qi take things seriously.¡±
Zao Futu gave a faint smile, nced at Bai Qi who looked hopeful, and said, ¡°Thisd has always been this way, very carefree. Perhapster, he will be forced to release other pets.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡ Chairman Zao still has such high expectations for the members of the association. But that¡¯s alright; young people need vitality, but they also need a good knock when it¡¯s due.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡¡±
The two looked at each other andughed, while thepetition in the field gradually changed.
After consuming all the absorbed energy, even using up more than half of his own energy, Gamma, for the first time, withstood the Judgement Angel¡¯s White Thunder. No matter how the Holy Light struck, it could no longer melt Gamma¡¯s body as quickly as before.
¡°Damn it, just how much energy does this blob monster have!¡±
Lilith was somewhat on the verge of a meltdown as she looked at Gamma, seemingly having an infinite amount of energy.
In order to prevent Gamma from absorbing energy, Lilith had specially chosen to use the powerful White Thunder skill, restraining her energy leakage as well, to prevent an endless cycle. Although there was still energy absorbed by Gamma, the amount was small and had no significant impact on the battle.
Even still, the Judgement Angel, a Mythical creature, seemed to be at a disadvantage in terms of energy.
What frightened Lilith more was that the Judgement Angel¡¯s White Thunder seemed to be ineffective against Gamma.
¡°Light resistance, here ites!¡±
Contrary to Lilith¡¯s hysteria, Bai Qi¡¯s smile grew more profound. Sensing Gamma¡¯s light resistance, he couldn¡¯t help but fiercely swing his fist
He had resistance to all basic elements!
Chapter 253 - 249: Tearing the Angel Apart with Bare Hands
Chapter 253: Chapter 249: Tearing the Angel Apart with Bare Hands
It was a shame that this was the grandpetition, and Lilith wasn¡¯t a member of the association. Otherwise, Bai Qi would have definitely called on Lilith¡¯s help to directly bring Gamma¡¯s proficiency to perfection and then directly upgrade it to elemental resistance.
¡°Now that the resistance is at hand, we really can¡¯t keep dragging this on.¡± Seeing the clearly somewhat impatient Leng Feifei, Bai Qi knew he couldn¡¯t just goof around any longer. He gave Gamma an instruction, and Gamma, who was slowly taking form, suddenly shook and immediately turned into the appearance of a Furious Guardian.
Not only that, the Sacrificial Aura and the Deadly Poison Aura, which hadn¡¯t been used since Lilith¡¯s appearance, appeared again. But rather than expanding wildly as before, they clung tightly to Gamma¡¯s body just like the Energy Absorption Aura did.
The three Auras merged, causing dark green mes to ignite on Gamma¡¯s body. Coupled with Furious Guardian¡¯s appearance, it looked like the reincarnation of a devil.
¡°This is¡ a heretic!¡±
Seeing Gamma in this form, both Lilith¡¯s and Dean¡¯s faces showed signs of shock. Lilith was even more serious, substituting her previous anger with endless solemnity.
¡°I can¡¯t believe you would contract with such an evil creature. I can only judge it now.¡±
Lilith had a very solemn expression with a Rune Mark appearing on her forehead. The Judgment Angel¡¯s spear was at her chest, her wings opened wide behind her, and she flew into the sky, overlooking Gamma on the ground like a divine being.
Then, the Judgment Angel raised her spear high, and terrifying energy gradually gathered on her spear and locked onto Gamma on the ground.
You evil heretic, I will judge you today in the name of the Judgment Angel¡¡± Before she could finish speaking, the Furious Guardian, created by Gamma, sprang from the ground, grabbed the Judgment Angel by the leg, and fiercely pulled her back to the ground. Then, before the angel could break free, Gamma treated her like a mace, repeatedly mming her into the ground.
¡°That¡¯s the feeling!¡±
Seeing Gamma perfectly executing his idea, Bai Qi revealed a ted smile on his face while Lilith was somewhat dibobted.
¡°You, how dare you!¡±
This sort of attack naturally couldn¡¯t harm the Judgment Angel, but such behavior from Gamma was a great insult to the Judgment Angel, or should I say, the Berg family itself.
¡°Judgment Angel, kill him!¡±
Thinking of the punishment she might receive when she returned, Lilith could no longer take into ount their situation and directly issued a killingmand to the Judgment Angel.
Regrettably, it was slightly toote.
After swinging the Judgment Angel around for a while, Gamma suddenly leaped up high and with both hands, forcefully threw her into the ground. His huge body immediately pressed down on her, firmly pinning her in ce, while his fists, ame with the evil energy fire, struck the Judgment Angel¡¯s body.
For the first time, the Judgment Angel, faced with the Demon ss¡¯s specific evil energy fire, experienced agonizing pain directed straight at her soul. She struggled desperately, but Gamma had no intention of relenting. In fact, he marshaled dozens of arms all at once andunched an assault.
Gamma in Demon form, Spear Hail!
Facing Gamma¡¯s relentless attack, the Judgment Angel, always looming above others, fell to normality, with traces of the evil energy fire scorching all over her body. She looked so pitiful, that even those from the association couldn¡¯t bear it.
¡°Damn it, you dare treat the Judgment Angel like this. If you don¡¯t want my Berg family to consider you an enemy, you¡¯d better stop. Otherwise¡¡± Halfway through Lilith¡¯s speech, she suddenly noticed a cold looking from the audience stand and shut her mouth immediately.
But once again, it was slightly toote.
¡°Or else what?¡±
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and chuckled. He snapped his fingers and said, ¡°I remember that Holy Light creatures have powerful healing abilities, don¡¯t they?¡±
¡°Gamma, roast chicken wings for dinner tonight!¡±
Crunch crunch!
(Roasted chicken wings? Gamma¡¯s favorite!)
A smile appeared on Gamma¡¯s fiendish face. His wild attack abruptly stopped, and with a powerful yank of his hands he grabbed the wings of the Judgment ¡¯ Angel.
Rip¡
The powerful wings, which were a symbol of the angel¡¯s divinity, were torn off by Gamma. Concurrently, the Judgment Angel¡¯s body, which was initially enveloped in holy light, gradually lost its glow and turned into the appearance of arge white bird.
[Name]: Paradise Bird
[Attribute]: Holy Light Series
[Bloodline Rank]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: The legendary bird responsible for helping angelsmunicate. Angels can also use it to deliver their powers.
¡°What¡¯s happening? It really is a birdman?¡±
Looking at the Paradise Bird that the Judgment Angel had transformed into after losing her wings, Bai Qi also realized that he seemed to have caused trouble. He quickly turned to Leng Feifei for help.
¡°You kid, you really know how to cause trouble.¡±
Leng Feifei cursed, but a look of satisfaction was on her face. She snatched one wing from Gamma and threw it onto the body of the Paradise Bird.
As the wing returned, the Paradise Bird was once again enveloped in holy light, returning to the form of the Judgment Angel. The wings on her back also returned.
Just that they were a lot smaller.
¡°Quickly give me the other wing back!¡±
Seeing the Judgment Angel return to normal, Lilith let out a sigh of relief and immediately tried to get the other wing back as well.
However, Gamma, who had already had one wing taken from him, would naturally not agree. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the wing in onerge bite.
As the master said, what you eat is your own. Anyone who wants to take his wing can fight him over it!
¡°You!¡±
Seeing the situation, Lilith was about to lose her temper, but Dean suddenly came to her side. With one icy nce, Lilith dared not utter another word.
¡°Lilith Borg, you¡¯ve lost. Are you trying to disgrace our family¡¯s honor by making such a fuss?¡±
Dean Berg¡¯s expression was ice-cold. His apathetic gaze turned Lilith¡¯s face pale, and she clearly understood the punishment she would face afterward.
After dealing with Lilith, Dean turned his head towards Bai Qi, his face instantly melting into a warm smile.
¡°I apologize for my little sister¡¯sck of manners. I apologize on her behalf.¡±
Bai Qi frowned slightly and replied, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I might have been a little heavy-handed.¡±
Although he was unclear about the exact situation, the wing seemed to be of great importance to the angels. However, he was impressed by Dean¡¯s calm demeanor in the face of this.
A smiling tiger ¨C best not to provoke.
¡°That¡¯s for the best.¡±
Dean nodded and turned to Leng Feifei and bowed, apologizing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, coach, for intruding on the contest field- I hope you won¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
That s fine, as long as the situation is resolved.¡±
Leng Feifei shook her head and watched Dean return to his seat, then she began to announce the final result.
For this contest, Bai Qi is the winner.¡±
Upon hearing Leng Feifei¡¯s announcement, the morale of the union side returned to its peak, while that on the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s side was a bit low.
Of course, this applied only to some contestants.
I knew Bai Qi would teach that arrogant woman a lesson!¡±
Tangmiao was smiling, seemingly liberated. Wang Huai, on the other hand could only shake his head helplessly, ¡°Tangmiao, calm down. We, the Thirteenth Bureau, lost after all. Can you not act so pleased?¡±
¡°Oh¡ªI almost forgot.¡±
Hearing this, Tangmiao stuck out his tongue. Upon seeing that Yi Yu and the others did not notice him, he sighed in relief.
But with this oue, none of the remaining people can be Bai Qi¡¯s match.¡±
Tangmiao nced at the Thirteenth Bureau members, clearlycking any will to fight, and said, ¡°Pm d I wasn¡¯t paired with Bai Qi. Knowing that I have no chance of winning is a terrible feeling.¡±
The Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s default rule was to eliminate those who showed fear before fighting and didn¡¯t qualify to stay.
Indeed, although they were terrified by Bai Qi¡¯s terrifying power, the remaining members still chose to continue fighting against Bai Qi. Bai Qi did not underestimate his opponents, opting for quick battles and having Gamma in demon form send them out of the stage.
Just like that, Bai Qi easily swept through his opponents and returned to his seat amidst the spectators¡¯ intense stares.
¡°Bai Qi, you really didn¡¯t give the other side any face, at least let them have one set.¡±
Bai Yuxiao, who didn¡¯t get a chance to show face, looked at Bai Qi with contempt and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you know our union emphasizes virtue?¡±
Bai Qi replied somewhat disdainfully, ¡°Where there are points to be won, there
is no ce for virtue. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re scheming.¡±
¡°Hmph, boring.¡±
Bai Yuxiao turned his head away and stopped talking, while Bai Qi also wanted to deal with that wing quickly, so he excused himself after a brief chat.
ording to Gamma¡¯s feedback, the wing seemed to be slowly losing energy, which it couldn¡¯t absorb, forcing Bai Qi to quickly find a solution.
Seeing Bai Qi leave, Xiao Yuan and the others didn¡¯t mind, instead they turned
to Bai Qiucha and said, ¡°It¡¯s up to you now, Cha.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, spread his bone wings, and flew into thepetition field, while the team members who were originally with him didn¡¯te down.
¡°These kids, they are being so reckless!¡±
Watching Bai Qiucha, who obviously nned to sweep through the opponents alone like Bai Qi, Zhao Futu couldn¡¯t help butugh and scold. However, his eyes were filled with utter satisfaction.
¡°Hot-blooded youth, it¡¯s normal.¡±
Wang Jian smiled faintly, ¡°On the other hand, this doesn¡¯t serve much of an evaluation purpose.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded, ¡°After the first round, let¡¯s add one more additional assessment for those outside the top ten. We can¡¯t let theme for nothing.¡± That s fine, but it somehow troubles your association.¡±
¡°Not at all, it¡¯s our duty.¡±
The two chatted pleasantly, while in a corner of the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s stand,
the atmosphere was chillingly freezing.
¡°After we return, go to the Judgment Hall to repent. When you¡¯ve cultivated the divine nature of Judgment Angel, then you cane out.¡±
Dean looked at Lilith coldly and said sternly.
¡°Yes!¡±
Lilith nodded repeatedly, knowing she was to spend a long time at that ce.
Butpared to other punishments, this was considered light.
¡°But the other half of the wing¡¡±
Dean shook his head, ¡°The rest of the divine essence of the Judgment Angel will return to the divine statue itself. That wing is of no use, let him have it.¡±
¡°Alright, I understand.¡±
Lihth nodded, recalling the scene where the Judgment Angel was brutally beaten by Bai Qi, a hint of resentment shed in her eyes.
Once she grasps more divine elements, she would definitely make the bastard Bai Qi experience the wrath of a god!
Chapter 254 - 250: Merging Angel’s Wings
Chapter 254: Chapter 250: Merging Angel¡¯s Wings
Secret Realm Base.
Gamma, who had been sent to the base by Bai Qi in advance, was anxiously circling around the wing of the Judgement Angel. Even with his Energy Absorption Aura at its extreme, he could not absorb the energy slowly dissipating from the Angel¡¯s Wing.
Kappa, Kappa.
(Master, this energy tastes so good, Gamma wants to eat it.)
¡± Don¡¯ t worry, we¡¯ 11 find a way.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, guided by the Evolution Egg, he ced his hand on the Angel¡¯s Wing. The Golden Egg, which had only cracked slightly before, was suddenly filled with cracks, reaching 99% of its progress.
¡°As expected of a mythical bloodline, it directly filled up the progress!¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s face immediately showed a smile. Although, judging from the craving state of the Evolution Egg, the properties of the Judgement Angel clearly held great attraction for the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi had not expected the Angel¡¯s Wing to directly fill more than half of the progress.
Keep in mind, since the Evolution Egg upgraded to the Gold Level, even Lord Creatures could only provide a little progress. Bai Qi had originally nned to swing by Old Lady Fan¡¯s ce, but now he didn¡¯t need to.
¡°However, from the looks of it, this Angel¡¯s Wing seems to be the true body of the Judgement Angel? Is this considered attachment? Or fusion?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the wing in his hand, constantly pondering the reason in his mind, while Gamma, who was already extremely anxious, was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly urging him.
Kappa, Kappa?
(Master, have you figured out a way yet?)
Looking at the increasingly dim Angel¡¯s Wing in his hand, Bai Qi quickly nodded, about to use the Evolution Egg to merge it into Gamma¡¯s body, but suddenly hesitated.
He had wanted to exchange the Light Spirit Holy Diamond for Gamma to fuse earlier, but he did not take the risk after being persuaded by Xiang Li. Now, this Angel¡¯s Feather was obviously more powerful. If it was fused, it might cause even greater conflict?
¡°Tsk, quite the headache.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in difficulty, still somewhat unwilling to take the risk.
Although mythical-level body tissues are rare, they could not necessarily be encountered as he enters more secret realms in the future.
If he took a risk now, he might gain benefits, but he could also cause damage to Gamma, which would then not be worth the loss.
¡°How about we not do this?¡±
Kappa, Kappa!
(Gamma wants to try!)
Seeing the string of exmation marks on Gamma¡¯s forehead, Bai Qi decided after hesitating for a moment.
¡°Let¡¯s give it a try.¡±
Though it was somewhat risky, looking at Gamma in this state, if they didn¡¯t try, Gamma might regret it forever. After all, he promised Gamma to eat at will in the beginning.
Besides, with the Evolution Egg present, it shouldn¡¯t cause any damage. At most, it would waste some energy.
¡°Schuck, Beta, prepare the treatment pod and be ready to treat me at any time.¡±
Out of caution, Bai Qi pulled out the treatment pod that had been scammed from the Moon Night Tower andy down in it. Then he put the Angel¡¯s Wing on Gamma, activating the Evolution Egg.
For a moment, arge amount of vitality was quickly withdrawn, but Bai Qi, who had upgraded to the Four Stage, did not lose his strength like before, and remained lucid.
Only now, Bai Qi would rather just faint.
With the double boost of the Green Dragon¡¯s Scales and the treatment pod, the demand of the Evolution Egg was met, but Bai Qi, who served as the transmission medium, was extremely ufortable.
He suddenly envied people like Li Xusheng who had a legendary creature¡¯s bloodline. If he had that kind of physique, he definitely wouldn¡¯t suffer like this.
Luckily, the Angel¡¯s Wing wasn¡¯t as terrifying as the Blood of Death. After enduring for a short while, Bai Qi finally put the Golden Egg on Gamma.
Awo?
(Human, what good stuff have you secretly fed Gamma this time? I want some too!)
Seeing the suspicious look on Beta¡¯s face, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just swallow a Mechanical Spark?¡±
Awo¡
(That was Schuck¡¯s, not mine¡)
¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll buy you some spiritual materialster.¡±
Bai Qi punched Beta hard, and theny back in the treatment pod, quietly resting.
Even though the Evolution Egg had sessfully condensed, his body was still a bit tired. And since he was waiting anyway, he took the opportunity to rest.
After all, there might be a second roundter, and he had to maintain his best condition as much as possible.
Arena.
Li Xusheng packed up his dual hammers and stood silently on the stage. Across from him was Xiao Yuan with a bitter smile on his face.
He thought it was a coincidence to encounter a creature like Gamma who could absorb blood and energy. But now, he had actually encountered a freak who could control his own and others¡¯ blood.
Xiao Yuan, who was always known for his endurance fights, was forced by Li Xusheng to actively fight a quick battle.
Without a choice, if he dragged it on, his pet¡¯s blood might have been sucked dry by Li Xusheng.
¡°I concede.¡±
Xiao Yuan reluctantly chose to give up, looking at Li Xusheng who was surrounded by blood.
Running into Li Xusheng, an opponent whopletely countered him, was indeed unfortunate. However, he made it into the top five, so he was indifferent to the oue.
¡°The fifth round of thepetition has ended. We will now announce the list ofpetitors for the second team battle.¡±
After confirming that neither side had any morepetitors, Leng Feifei immediately announced the results of thepetition. At the same time, a projection appeared in the sky, listing thepetitors for the second team battle.
Association Team: Bai Qi, Bai Qiucha, Xiao Yuan, Lu Qing, Zhou Yan
Thirteenth Bureau: Li Xusheng, Wang Huai, Dean Berg, Ellis Bogger, Xia Yan
¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going to the next round with Qing¡¯er.¡±
Seeing that Lu Qing, who was in the same team as him, was also advancing to the next round, Zhou Yan cheered jubntly.
In fact, after witnessing the monstrous performances of Dean, Bai Qi, and Bai Qiucha in the first three battles, the rest of the contestants were somewhat panicked.
Fortunately, after Qiucha defeated her opponent, the leaders on both sides intervened appropriately, controlling the output of their respective members. Thus, the most powerful contestants basically restrained their strength.
However, the list of contestants for the team battle mostly met the expectations of both sides. There were no big surprises; it was a satisfying oue for all.
¡°Where¡¯s Bai Qi? The second match will start soon, right?¡±
Zhou Yan looked around, but he still couldn¡¯t locate Bai Qi. His messages were left unanswered.
¡°Bai Qi must have returned to his secret realm. Let¡¯s wait a bit longer.¡±
Bai Qiucha said, ¡°Moreover, I just received a message from my second uncle. Before the start of the second team battle, there might be an extra match.¡±
¡°An extra match?¡±
Xiao Yuan was startled at hearing this, but understanding came quickly after recalling the events of the first three matches.
The purpose of thispetition, although in the form of a match, was for testing. The original intent was distorted into a one-man show by Dean and Bai Qi. From one perspective, it could be said that they had deviated from thepetition¡¯s original intent. Therefore, adding an extra match was justified.
As expected, while everyone was preparing to watch the teampetition, Zhao Futu announced news of the extra match. The match was open to everybody except the top ten. The test was simple: defeat the specified ferocious beasts. The Association and the Thirteenth Bureau would score their performances.
¡°I hope Bai Qi doesn¡¯te toote. The individualpetition is happening simultaneously and can¡¯t be dyed for long.¡±
Zhou Yan looked worriedly in the direction that Bai Qi had left earlier. It was unlikely that the majorpetition involving two departments would be dyed because of one person¡¯s tardiness. If Bai Qi missed it, he would probably be distraught, and it would be a huge blow to them as well.
After all, the other team seemed to have more freaks of nature than they did.
Secret Realm Base.
Bai Qi, Alpha, Schuck, and Delta surrounded Gamma, scrutinizing it curiously.
¡°Do you guys think that Gamma has sessfully absorbed it?¡±
Crackle, crackle.
(It probably hasn¡¯t, Gamma doesn¡¯t seem to have changed much.)
Whoof, whoof.
(But the energy of that thing has been linked with Gamma. In my opinion, it should be considered a sess.)
Rumble, rumble.
(However, there are no signs of evolution in Gamma. Other than this symbol, everything else remains the same.)
The discussion between Bai Qi and his three pets left Gamma, the beast in question, feeling more puzzled.
After four hours of integration, the energy of the Angel¡¯s Wing was finally absorbed into Gamma¡¯s body. However, it did notpletely absorb, but rather turned into a white lightning mark on Gamma¡¯s body.
Although it stopped the continuous dissipation of the power, Gamma was unable to convert it into its own abilities.
However, ording to Gamma, this lightning mark seemed to be slowly strengthening its body and even had a slow healing function.
[Name]: Undying King (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Racial skills]: Life Energy Conversion (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Golden Cicada Shelling (Super Level ¨C Beginner), Bloodsucking Aura (High Level ¨C Perfect), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level ¨C Perfect), Sacrificial Aura (High Level ¨C Proficient), Elemental Resistance (High Level ¨C Master), Energy Diversion (High Level ¨C Proficient), Splitting (Mid-Level ¨C Master), Mimicry (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Corrosion (Low Level ¨C Perfect), Light Explosion (High Level ¨C Beginner)¡
[Energy Value]: 4E6800W
Perhaps because Gamma had integrated the Angel¡¯s Wing, its recently acquired light resistance was upgraded to the perfect proficiency. Gamma¡¯s element attribute finally integrated and was upgraded into a high-level skill, Elemental Resistance.
[Skill Name]: Elemental Resistance
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Has nearly immune resistance to attacks of high-level or lower elements. The effects of high-level element attacks and various negative statuses are greatly reduced. The effect of Super Level element skills is halved.
¡°It was worth the effort it took to brush up resistance. There was finally a payoff.¡±
With this Elemental Resistance, most energy attacks are practically ineffective against Gamma. Even though the Super Skill was only reduced by half, it was practically negligible for Gamma with its perpetuum mobile setup.
¡°Next, try brushing up Physical Resistance too. By then, if you have resistance to both physical and magical attacks, won¡¯t you be invincible?¡±
Chapter 255 - 251: The Opening of the Group Battle
Chapter 255: Chapter 251: The Opening of the Group Battle
Thinking of Gamma being able to withstand attacks from all sides and cut through a swarm of ferocious beasts, Bai Qi felt his blood boiling in excitement.
¡°Although I couldn¡¯t directly absorb the Angel¡¯s wing and obtain a Mythical bloodline, the gains were not bad.¡±
Bai Qi grinned at Gamma¡¯s newly acquired skill.
[Skill Name]: Light Explosion
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Can cause a powerful impact of Holy Light Attributes on surrounding enemies by bursting the power of the Holy Light.
Although it was not the Judgment Angel¡¯s super skill, white thunder, Bai Qi was still quite satisfied.
After all, it was Gamma¡¯s first offensive skill.
¡°When the greatpetition ends, and I exchange the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core, perhaps I¡¯ll be able to absorb this Holy Light Thunder.¡±
Bai Qi was guessing silently when his expression suddenly changed.
¡°Damnit, I forgot about the second round of thepetition!¡±
Although Gamma hatched ahead of schedule, it still took four hours. Paired with the time they wasted here, it has already been nearly five hours since Bai Qi left the arena.
He was in the second group, and no matter how slow the following three groups were, they couldn¡¯t havested more than five hours. If he missed the second teampetition, even if Zhao Futu didn¡¯t kill him, he would be regretful to death.
There were two mythical resources at stake¡
Upon this realization, Bai Qi didn¡¯t bother to study Gamma¡¯s new skill any more, but headed straight to the arena from the base.
Inside the arena.
The already prepared teams silently watched the vacant leadership position of the association, speechless.
Even though there was an additional test, it didn¡¯t take much time, and the second teampetition entered the preparation stage.
However, the two leaders seemed to have forgotten something and were still chatting happily. Since Leng Feifei, the referee, hadn¡¯t received any instructions, the start of thepetition hadn¡¯t been announced.
Of course, everyone knew they were waiting for Bai Qi, and they didn¡¯t mind waiting a bit longer.
After all, having seen the formidable strengths of Bai Qi¡¯s three pets, they were also interested in his other pets.
However, that was an hour ago¡
¡°That bastard Bai Qi, how much longer is he going to leave us hanging!¡±
Enraged, Zhou Yan cursed bitterly, wishing to barge into Bai Qi¡¯s sanctuary and drag him out.
¡°Can¡¯t you see that the two bosses didn¡¯t say anything? Just wait.¡±
Lu Qing calmly continued reading her book through her spectacles, while the others were meditating unperturbedly.
¡°You guys¡ never mind, I¡¯ll take a nap first. Wake me up when Bai Qi arrives.¡±
Stifling a yawn, Zhou Yan nned to take a nap right there and then.
Just then, Bai Qi finally appeared in the arena. On top, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian, who were continuously chatting, tacitly halted and walked to the front of the grandstand and announced in a loud voice, ¡°All the yers are here, let¡¯s start the second teampetition.¡±
¡°Uh, sorry, I got caught up with some research.¡±
Seeing the angry faces of Zhou Yan and others, Bai Qi grimaced, giving an imusible exnation, but Zhou Yan mysteriously stopped pursuing Bai Qi¡¯ste arrival after hearing the word ¡°research¡±.
Everyone at the headquarters had reached a consensus.
No one should question Bai Qi¡¯s research-rted activities because you could potentially be hindering the birth of a core patent.
¡°Triple Core drive,¡± was everyone¡¯s recognition of Bai Qi¡¯s ability.
On the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s side, seeing Bai Qi so unconcerned, Wang Huai just gave a faint smile, while Xia Yan looked curious, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so hardworking, Bai Qi. You even went back to research during apetition break. I feel quite ashamed.¡±
Bai Qi shookhis head and said, ¡°Just messing around, just messing around.¡±
¡°Huh-¡±
Seeing the corners of XiaYan¡¯s mouth twitch, it was clear he didn¡¯t believe Bai Qi¡¯s words. Same was reflected on Dean¡¯s face.
Had he left at this time just for some scheming?
¡°Ahem, since all the yers are here, let me announce the rules of the team battle.¡±
Leng FeiFei stood between the two teams and said, ¡°The team battle is 5v5, and the yers can freely y. Thepetition ends when all the yers on one side lose their fighting capabilities. Do you understand?¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Such a simple and straightforward rule didn¡¯t cause objections from either side. Seeing this, Leng Feifei quietly left the stadium.
Simultaneously, the already extensive stadium further expanded, exploding by more than tenfold in range. The two fleets, which were initially just a step away, were now isted by tens of meters.
¡°They are allowing us to battle freely.¡±
Seeing their surroundings still expanding, Bai Qi understood and immediately summoned all his four pets. However, the others only summoned their own main pets.
A team battle was unlike an individual race. No matter how well the team coordinated, there were always unexpected incidents, especially in a 5V5 contest.
Thus, a streamlined battle formation would yield better results.
Simrly, aside from Li Xusheng, who could fuse with four pets at once, members of the Thirteenth Bureau also only kept their primary pets.
¡°The Thirteenth Bureau has more experience than us. We cannot afford any errors.¡±
Xiao Yuan looked at Lu Qing, and said, ¡°Lu Qing, you are in charge ofmand and support. I will take up the defense, and will also try to ease the pressure on your support. Zhou Yan, find a chance to deal with the opponent¡¯s support side. Cha, you are responsible for handling Li Xusheng, his blood control is too restricting to flesh and blood life forms.¡±
¡°As for Bai Qi, you move freely.¡±
As one of Bai Qi¡¯s main targets for umting points, Xiao Yuan fully understood the monstrosity of Bai Qi¡¯s four pets, hence he made no restrictions on Bai Qi.
Bai Qi readily agreed to this.
Although the association did provide them with plenty of coborative training, Bai Qi was not incapable of cooperating with others. However, with his undying desire to experiment, Bai Qi often wanted to try new ystyles, making it hard for him to stick to a fixed position.
Thus, Xiao Yuan decided to let Bai Qi act freely, who knows, it might yield unexpected results.
After all, judging by their lineup, they were at a disadvantage.
Li Xusheng, Dean, Ellis, a legendary creature bloodline dual talent user, two Mythical Beast Masters, plus the outrageous mechanical engineer Xia Yan appeared to make their side short on top battle power whenpared superficially.
Soon, the stadium stopped changing, and Leng Feifei¡¯s voice echoed from the sky.
¡°5VS5 Team battle, Begin!¡±
As soon as her voice fell, several varying colored rays of light shone from Lu Qing¡¯s Skillful Girl, quickly falling onto their respective pets, instantly elevating the pets¡¯ status.
As a supportive mecha from the Era of Law Emperor, Skillful Girl could easily enhance allied forces¡¯ basic attributes like power and velocity, and also possessed a certain healing ability. This was the reason Xia Yuan made Lu Qing responsible for support.
But evidently, Wang Huai¡¯s speed was quicker. He had already caught his team pets in the vitality aura before Lu Qing could even act. Li Xusheng, who he was teamed up with,unched an attack before Wang Huai could act.
¡°Cha, stop Li Xusheng. Zhou Yan, you circle around and seize the opportunity.¡± Seeing Li Xusheng¡¯s movements being so rapid, Lu Qing immediately issued an order. Bai Qiucha directly went into bone armor mode to face Li Xusheng head on.
One was a deviant fused with four pets, and the other was an abnormality carrying an Emperor-level creature. Their first front-on collision ended in a draw.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yan, fused with the Soul of the General, skillfully dodged the fighting zone of the two and went straight for Wang Huai.
Boom boom boom!
At that moment, countless shells rained down from the sky, precisely blocking Zhou Yan¡¯s inevitable path. Before Zhou Yan could even dodge, several red points passed through the smoke and locked onto him.
As the team leader of the second attack group, Xia Yan was naturally extremely proficient in tactics. He had already predicted Zhou Yan¡¯s movements and set up his sniper rifle with the intention of taking down Zhou Yan at once.
These guys really are good at coordination!
Seeing his own side¡¯s attack being easily blocked, Bai Qi¡¯s face turned serious. Schuck immediately understood and instantly deployed the turret, barraging Xia Yan¡¯s Broken Army with a sky-covering cannonade.
Energy attacks in the mechanical engineering field are extremely swift, and Schuck¡¯s deployed turret was covered in runes, making its speed faster and surpassing that of the Broken Army even when it was releasedter.
Seeing this, Xia Yan could only temporarily abandon sniping Zhou Yan, switching to evade Schuck¡¯s attack.
However, Schuck seemed unyielding. Seeing Xia Yan withdraw, another turret opened, recing the energy shells with solid ones.
The speed of these shells was apparently slower, but with the Thunderme Cannon¡¯s cover, the shells sessfully reached the vicinity of the Broken Army, but didn¡¯t directly hit its target. They opened up in mid-air, turning into giant metals cast toward Xia Yan below.
¡°An electromaic?¡±
Xia Yan recognized the origin of these metals at once, switched directly to a Tyrant Dragon form and aimed to tear the electromaic to shreds with its ws.
But just at that moment, these giant metal suddenly lit up with runes, its falling speed abruptly increasing. The Tyrant Dragon only managed to tear a single before being swallowed by sessiveyers ofs.
¡°Thebination of rune machinery seems to be pretty powerful.¡±
Seeing Schuck¡¯s sessful sneak attack, Bai Qi satisfiedly nodded. However, Xia Yan was clearly not an easy opponent. As he was trapped by the metal, he switched forms again, his body scales collectively reversed and turned into a cutting machine, shattering the metalrges.
Because of this dy, Zhou Yan was already sessful in reaching Wang Huai¡¯s front. The spear enveloped in roaring mes, like an eruptingva, charged directly at the Barrier Tree Man!
Chapter 256 - 252: Three Heroes Battle Alpha
Chapter 256: Chapter 252: Three Heroes Battle Alpha
Seeing Zhou Yan burst forward so quickly, Wang Huai didn¡¯t panic at all. Countless thick roots sprouted from under his feet, wrapping themselves directly around Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan instantly brandished his spear to block. The mes that came with it easily burned these roots, but backed by the formidable energy of the Barrier Tree Man, the roots not only did not diminish, but became more and more numerous.
¡°Damn, what a nuisance!¡±
Zhou Yan muttered a curse under her breath, thrusting her spear forcefully into the ground. Columns of fire sprang forth from the beneath the soil, incinerating the surrounding roots to ashes, and even continued to advance towards the Barrier Tree Man.
Her Soul of the General was of the fire attribute, while the Barrier Tree Man was of nt attribute, having a natural suppression effect. If it were to resist directly, the Tree Man would undoubtedly suffer significant damage.
At this moment, a figure engulfed in white mes suddenly intercepted in front of the Barrier Tree Man. The pirs of fire Zhou Yan summoned were instantly assimted upon contacting it, turning into a white fire wall and rushing towards Zhou Yan.
Instead of retreating, Zhou Yan advanced, her body¡¯s mes intensifying as she thrust her spear towards the fire wall.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing did not discourage her. The futuristic girl made a slight waving motion, summoning a transparent sphere around Zhou Yan, shielding her from the onught of the white firewall.
At the same time, Xiao Yuanmanded his main pet, Tardigrade Thunder Dragon, to follow Zhou Yan through the fire wall, forcefully blocking the white greatsword swung down by the Judgment Angel towards Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan was waiting for the opportunity to stab her spear into the Judgment Angel¡¯s skull.
The coordination between the three of them was seamless, almost leading one to suspect that their original target had been the Judgment Angel.
Yet, Xia Yan, who had also broken free, did not let them have their way. Broken Army, also wielding a mechanical spear, intercepted with a direct thrust, blocking Zhou Yan¡¯s attack. Instead of counterattacking, he extended an energy lock from his spear, surprisingly securing Zhou Yan¡¯s long spear. Wang Huai also changed his targets swiftly, wrapping his vines swiftly around the Tardigrade Thunder Dragon.
At this moment, a few roots suddenly shot up around Lu Qing, who had always been standing at the back of the team. The target was unexpectedly the futuristic girl, who was maintaining the protective cover around Zhou Yan.
Damn, they were even employing the tactic of luring the enemy deep.
Seeing Lu Qing in danger, Zhou Yan instinctively wanted to offer aid. But Xia Yan¡¯s energy lock was evidently specifically meant for spirits; she struggled to break free from the spear transformed from her spirit. Simrly, the Tardigrade Thunder Dragon was entwined with roots, and could note to the rescue in time.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qiucha, who was engaged in a fight with Li Xusheng, immediately slowed her attack and prepared to help out.
¡°Getting distracted during a battle is the most fatal mistake.¡±
Seeing Bai Qiucha distracted, Li Xusheng coldly remarked. Numerous amounts of fresh blood suddenly spurted out of his body, turning into a myriad blood des attacking Bai Qiucha.
Li Xusheng suddenly elerated his attack frequency, catching Bai Qiucha by surprise. Although she managed to stabilize the situation with her exceptional reaction, it was toote to rescue Lu Qing.
¡°Meeh Girl, battle form.¡±
However, Lu Qing was not flustered at all. The moment she saw the roots attacking, she instructed something to the Meeh Girl, who promptly procured a crystal long de from her hand, cleanly severing the attacking roots with a light swing.
Was this¡ the double rune system?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback upon witnessing the transformation. He quickly understood that the Meeh Girl¡¯s changes had incorporated the double rune system.
It appears that Lu Qing had greatly benefited from her time spent with the White Meeh analysis group.
Seeing Lu Qing resolve the crisis herself, Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and Bai Qiucha¡¯s attention returned to Li Xusheng.
But just then, Li Xusheng, who had originally been aggressively attacking Bai Qiucha, abruptly changed his target. The Judgment Angel also did the same.
Meanwhile, the Holy Light Angel, who had always been observing, took advantage of the situation, initiating his attack before the others.
The synchronous actions of the three were not impromptu; it was clear that they had nned this.
¡°Just as I thought, from the very beginning, their target was me-¡±
Seeing the three people¡¯s pets rushing towards him all at once, Bai Qi did not panic. Instead, a wicked smile crept across his face.
Subsequently, the three who were simultaneouslyunching their offensive against Bai Qi¡¯s four pets seemed to have sensed something. They scattered to the sides in sync. Their movements were obviously a bit unnatural. Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan who wanted toe to aid also felt a strong spirit wave and retreated as well.
Gamma effortlessly blocked the iing attacks and even absorbed some opportunistically.
¡°You stupid dog. Why are you so quick when attacking me and so slow in real battles?¡±
Seeing that they couldn¡¯t attack Li Xusheng three together stealthily, Bai Qi punched the pouting Beta.
Arwooo arwooo¡
(¡°I¡¯m a dog, not a human. You told me to control the range. How can I speed it up?¡±)
Although the Mind Helmet could significantly increase spirit power, control was also a major issue. Even for a Beta with mutated spirit power, it was challenging to silently and urately explode attacks.
¡°Nevermind. At least, we managed to separate the three of them. Keep a close eye on their movements from now.¡±
His ability to make prior arrangements depended on Beta¡¯s enhanced perceptibility boosted by the Mind Helmet.
In simple terms, Beta had sensed the hostility from the three against them as soon as the battle started and prepared ordingly.
¡°Such a powerful spirit power, indeed none of your pets is simple, Bai Qi.¡±
Dean looked at the silly-looking Beta, and showed an expression of ¡®I knew it,¡¯ thenunched his attack again.
Such a powerful attack, even with the help of tools, couldn¡¯t be used frequently. It was the perfect time to attack.
However, before the Holy Light Angel could get close to the Husky, Alpha, who had been waiting for a long time, stood in front of her. Holding a ck long sword, he pointed it at the enemy, an overbearing aura pouring out.
The Holy Light Angel, which had always been fearless, actually stopped after sensing Alpha¡¯s aura, showing no intention of initiating an attack.
As a mythical species creature, the Holy Light Angel was almost fearless of any intimidation skill. But this time, after being targeted by the ck long sword in Alpha¡¯s hand, the Holy Light Angel actually hesitated.
¡°How could it be¡¡±
Seeing this, Dean, who always had a noble smile on his face, finally changed his expression, as did Li Xusheng who had extraordinary senses. He incredulously looked at Alpha.
In this way, the battle came to a brief halt. Both sides adjusted their positions, and the fight returned to its initial state.
¡°Tsk¡ Group battles are always troublesome.¡±
Looking at the members of the Thirteenth Bureau who were no longer reckless, Bai Qi scratched his head helplessly. All the young elites here wouldn¡¯t act recklessly, the previous wave was just probing each other out.
However, it seemed that the opponent would no longer be rash.
Lu Qing nced at Alpha, whose aura was different from other pets, and after thinking for a moment, said, ¡°Bai Qi, change your position. You will take the lead in the next attack, and we will fully support you. Just focus on outputting.¡±
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows at the words and nodded continuously, and said to his four pets, ¡°Lil ones, make some noise!¡±
Crack!
(I¡¯ve been waiting for this for a long time.)
Woof woof!
(Five is too few, I want to beat a hundred!)
Thump Thump.
(Gamma found two more pairs of wings, want to eat¡)
Burp burp.
(Delta strived not tog behind.)
The four pets bristled with fighting spirit and all dashed out together.
Alpha swung theWingsofWindanunchedadazzlingattackontheHoly Light Angel with the Sword of Death. The Holy Light Angel that had easily killed Li Mu earlier was now unable to fight back. The Light Sword, formed from holy light, was now filled with ck notches from the Sword of Death.
Furthermore, creating an opportunity amongst this, Alphaunched de Storm and activated Undying me. A giant fire tornado directly rushed towards the Judgment Angel, obviously nning to fight fire with fire.
On the other hand, Li Xusheng was entangled with the Gravity Sword controlled by Alpha. The constant change in gravity cuts, made it hard for even Li Xusheng¡¯s monstrous physique to adapt.
Alpha, fighting three by himself, surprisingly, held the upper hand.
In the past, there were Three Heroes fighting against LvBu, today there¡¯s Alpha fighting against the three beasts, full of breathtaking moments.
¡°Indeed, that kid¡¯s skeleton has grown to king-level.¡±
President Qin, who was also in the audience, couldn¡¯t help but feel a little moved as he looked at Alpha standing majestic in the field below.
The lowest-level skeleton soldier back then grew into a king creature today. If he hadn¡¯t witnessed it with his own eyes, he might not have believed it.
The three people suppressed by Bai Qi also noticed this, no longer held back, andunched a full attack on Alpha.
However, at this time, the other three pets of Bai Qi also reached the battlefield.
The terrifying array of turrets was unfolded again, with the power of Thunder me flying all over the sky. But under Beta¡¯s powerful mind control, they urately avoided Alpha and allnded on the enemy.
Gammanded directly on Alpha, reformed the disdainful sibling group; Wind Wound and the three major aura rings wereunched simultaneously,unching an indiscriminate attack on the surrounding enemies.
As for Delta, it directly evolved into a diamond ape form, grabbed the Gravity Sword andunched an attack on Li Xusheng.
With the diamond ape¡¯s giant strength, the ability of Gravity Sword was also perfectly disyed. Every attack carried the weight of a mountain; at the intersection of the sword and the hammer, cracks even began to appear in the surrounding space.
Because of this, the Blood de controlled by Li Xusheng was also suppressed, and he couldn¡¯t even get near Delta.
Despite it being abination of the ancient species and the Space Department, which represents the most basic attack method, Delta showed them what violence aesthetics meant.
Chapter 257 - 253: May the Holy Light Deceive
Chapter 257: Chapter 253: May the Holy Light Deceive
You~
Li Xusheng, who was usually stern-faced, was not angry but amused by the suppression from a third stage pet beast. His arms suddenly exerted force, and Delta was directly thrown out.
Subsequently, Li Xusheng didn¡¯t pause his pace but dashed towards the thrown Delta. The dazzling blood lightning twined around his dual hammers, smashing ceiling-shatteringly onto Delta, who was caught off guard.
At the same time, the attack of Blood de exploded again. Its attack speed and form switched increasingly swiftly. Every encounter with Delta would draw away a strand of fresh blood, and its attack range expanded once more.
After all, Delta was just a third stage creature. If it weren¡¯t for its unique characteristics and arge amount of base attribute-enhancing materials, it could never contend with Li Xusheng, who had assumed the form of four- armored mode. As Li Xusheng began fighting seriously, Delta naturally couldn¡¯t remain at ease as before.
Meanwhile, the Judgment Angel, wrapped in the vortex of Undying me, also started to use its strength. The holy mes on its body burned savagely, isting the Undying me from the outside, attacking Alpha. At the same time, Xia Yan, who also was a mechanic,unched a counterattack on Husky.
In a split second, the situation reversed.
Just then, Bai Qiucha activated his support in time. He, attached to the Bone Armor, ignored Li Xusheng¡¯s blood maniption. With a Bone Sword in one hand and a Soul de in another, he blocked Li Xusheng.
Upon a reunion with an old rival, Li Xusheng no longer paid heed to Delta. He directly shifted targets attacking Bai Qiucha. Every single blow fully exemplified the straightforward battles on the battlefield, thoughcking any grand tactics; every move was aimed at critical hits.
Bai Qiucha was clearly a well-trained fighter. He brandished two swords so swiftly in his hands that openings were hard to be found. The shadow power of the Bone Sword and the spirit power of the Soul de put up a powerful fight against Li Xusheng¡¯s four armor and blood ability, showing no signs of inferiority.
On the other side, Zhou Yan summoned a pegasus, charging towards the Broken Army. Broken Army was forced to switch its battle mode to closebat and engaged Zhou Yan. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuanmanded the Tardigrade Thunder Dragon to stop the Barrier Tree Man from disturbing Zhou Yan.
¡°Red and blue have always paired well in the past. There could be a chance between these two.¡±
Looking at Li Xusheng, covered by blood lightning, and Bai Qiucha, holding the blue Soul de, Bai Qi made a cheeky remark as he directlymanded Delta back.
Having Delta fight alone against the freak on Li Xusheng¡¯s side was indeed quite challenging. Only after reaching fourth stage with the consumption of Space Crystal Stone could there possibly be a glimmer of hope.
¡°Let¡¯s deal with these two first.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Holy Light Angel and the Judgment Angel, who were dueling Alpha. He frowned slightly.
Since themencement of the fight, these two had been very passive, save for the moment when all three attacked together. Their performance differed significantly from when they were battling on the stage.
As if aware of Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, Dean suddenly shed a smile at Bai Qi. The attacking speed of the Holy Light Angel skyrocketed. From afar, it seemed like a meteor shower was raining down in the arena.
Unlike Lilith¡¯s Judgement Angel and Ellis¡¯ Judgment Angel, Dean¡¯s Holy Light Angel didn¡¯t bear any other attributes. However, it was this pure power of Holy Light that gave the Holy Light Angel a speedparable to Light.
It seemed that Ellis was also unwilling to interrupt Dean¡¯s performance, and he simply switched targets, instead mounting an attack on Husky.
Although the Holy Fire of Judgment Angel could offset most of the damage from the Thunder me Power, Husky¡¯s attack frequency was too high and could precisely dodge friendly forces. If this continued, it would not be in their favor.
Yet at that moment, Delta, who had be free, suddenly stood before the Judgment Angel. One hand held Alpha¡¯s me Sword, and the other the Gravity Sword. However, instead of attacking the Judgment Angel, Delta regressed to its original form and let both swords rest on its body.
The one known as Evolution Light shone brightly, and a horrifying temperature began to emit from Delta¡¯s body. A colossal humanoid figure appeared once again in the arena.
[Name]: Magma Element
[Nature]: Elemental System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
[Introduction]: A powerful elemental life form that was born from magma. It boasts a scorching temperature and a formidable body, causing double attribute damage to its enemies.
This was Delta¡¯s most potent evolved state that it had discovered through trials with numerous pet beasts, apart from the Power of Death, which it dare not risk. For a time, it even threatened Alpha, who had already elevated to King- level.
However, the significant issue with this state was itsck of sustainability; it could hardlyst long.
But at the moment Delta evolved, Gamma voluntarily detached from Alpha andnded on the Magma Giant, starting to supply energy to Delta.
With the issue of energy solved, Delta took the lead in attacking the Judgment Angel, but the Judgment Angel, also possessing fire attribute, just couldn¡¯t handle Delta.
In the previous battles, the horrifying Holy Fire from the Judgment Angel caused significant damage to the Association side, burning both the body and the soul simultaneously. Although Ellis had a firm grasp on how much damage it inflicted, it still posed a significant deterrent.
However, this time, facing the Magma Elemental with a meparable to its own, the Holy Fire¡¯s effect was greatly weakened. The crucial point was Gamma, which had learned the Elemental Resistance technique, popping out from time to time to swallow the Holy Fire, utterly quashing the most potent attack of the Judgment Angel.
¡°No matter how many times I see this, Bai Qi¡¯s Ancestral Beast still has ridiculously strong abilities.¡±
Watching Delta changing its battle form again, Bai Yuxiao on the stands couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
When they found out that Bai Qi had signed a contract with an Ancestral Beast, which couldn¡¯t evolve, everyone felt it was somewhat a pity, thinking Bai Qi had wasted a contract slot.
Yet, who would have thought that in such a short time, Bai Qi would turn Delta¡¯s disadvantage into an advantage, and it even subtly became a top talent.
After all, there were hardly any pet beasts that could change form ording to external energy.
¡°I feel that Bai Qi¡¯s skeleton is truly terrifying.¡±
Li Mu, looking at Alpha, who showed no signs of weakness when faced with the almost unstoppable speed attack of the Holy Light Angel, expressed a different opinion.
As the only one in their group who had directly confronted the Holy Light Angel, Li Mu knew very well how terrifying the angel¡¯s speed was. He was certain that none of their pets could beat the Holy Light Angel in terms of pure speed.
And now, Alpha had not only sustained but seemed to be handling it with ease, audaciously opposing the creature of Holy Light with the body of an undead creature.
¡°Could it be that this guy has actually cultivated his main pet into a king creature?¡±
Bai Yuxiao watched Alpha getting stronger as the battle continued, and expressed her guess with some disbelief.
¡°Almost certainly so,¡± Li Mu nodded, then turned to look at Lu Qing, silently overlooked in the arena, a sense of helplessness shing in his eyes.
I really can¡¯t surpass Bai Qi¡
In the arena, Lu Qing¡¯s gaze continually swept across various areas as she gave constant instructions to the mech girl. Meanwhile, lights of different colors fell onto the others under the mech girl¡¯s control.
Strength enhancement, speed enhancement, defense enhancement¡
With the various effects of the mech girl¡¯s enhancements, Zhou Yan and the others gradually gained the upper hand, and constantly adjusted their attacks based on the information provided by Lu Qing.
Unlike Bai Qi who joinedter, Xiao Yuan, Zhou Yan, and Lu Qing, who grew up together, naturally coordinated seamlessly. Even though Lu Qing¡¯sbat power wasn¡¯t strong, her vast knowledge reservesbined with the mech girl¡¯s auxiliary enhancements were highly effective.
¡°The association indeed has an abundance of talent. Although their tactics are a bit immature, they have a promising future,¡± Wang Jian nodded slightly while looking at the individuals below with clear task divisions. Zhao Futu, on the other hand, waved his hand and said, ¡°They are still somewhat strainedpared to the concentration of elites in the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
¡°President, you¡¯re being too modest. King-level creatures have quite a significant dominance in apetition of this level.¡±
¡°Still, it¡¯s not as convenient as having two mythical species. Among creatures of the same level, mythical species are the strongest.¡±
¡°Hahahaha¡¡±
The two exchangedpliments before refocusing on the match.
¡°Can the advantage of having a mythical species really allow it to continue fighting Alpha for so long?¡± Bai Qi asked, looking at the Holy Light Angel, whose speed was still rising.
Based on the data provided by Xiao Yuan and the others, Dean¡¯s Holy Light Angel was reported to have a high-grade lord-level bloodline. Even for a mythical species, it seemed a bit too much to have battled against Alpha, a king-level being, for so long.
¡°Alpha, push him to his limit.¡±
*Creak creak.*
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded, the three swords of wind, fire, and gravity flew back and attacked the Holy Light Angel together. Wisps of ck energy emanated from the Sword of Death, severed the Holy Light Angel¡¯s light sword, and shed towards the angel.
Seeing this, a brilliant light suddenly emitted from the Holy Light Angel. A pair of wings suddenly emerged from its back, and a pure white space appeared around it, keeping Alpha¡¯s four swords outside.
A King¡¯s Aura!
The Holy Light Angel was indeed a king-level creature!
Seeing the transformation of the Holy Light Angel into a four-winged angel, Bai Qi suddenly realized the truth. Dean, however, looked serious and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to encounter a king-level creature. It¡¯s quite unexpected.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged and said, ¡°I¡¯m also surprised. You can grow wings at will. Is that how capricious mythical species are?¡±
Dean gave a faint smile and said, ¡°Bai Qi, if you¡¯re interested, we can chat about it after the match. But now¡¡±
¡°Let the holy light purify you!¡±
After speaking, the Holy Light Angel¡¯s holy aura exploded, enveloping Alpha entirely. The effects of wind, fire, and other attributes began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those golden des fell uncontrobly to the ground, gradually transforming into holy light.
Bai Qi frowned slightly at this. Alpha instantly recalled the me Sword and Gravity Sword, and swung the Sword of Death to attack the Holy Light Angel.
¡°It¡¯s useless. Inside the Holy Light¡¯s aura, holy light will protect everything.¡±
Seeing this, Dean shookhis head, about to advise Bai Qi to concede. Then, he saw the Sword of Death prate directly through the Holy Light Angel¡¯s chest, staining its once pure body with a streak of ck.
¡°Seems like you¡¯ve been fooled by the holy light, huh?¡±
Chapter 258 - 254: Death VS Holy Light
Chapter 258: Chapter 254: Death VS Holy Light
Feeling the information passed on by the Holy Light Angel, Dean¡¯s face became serious. He immediately directed the Holy Light Angel to stay away and used the Power of Holy Light to eliminate the Power of Death from his chest.
However, regardless of how the Power of Holy Light surged, it could only suppress the Power of Death in its ce, and it had no way of purifying it.
¡°You really are a heretic.¡±
First was the Evil Energy me, then came the Power of Death; the two powers under Bai Qi¡¯s control contrasted entirely with the angel¡¯s Power of Holy Light. If this happened before the decline of the Bo Ge family, he would¡¯ve been subject to burning at the stake.
¡°You guys really do love that term, huh-¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qj shrugged, and Alpha continued to attack. However, the Holy Light Angel didn¡¯t want Alpha to get any closer and immediately threw severa Purification Spears at Alpha.
Facing this ovepressed Power of Holy Light, Alpha unleashed the Death Force Field right away. The originally pure and wless Holy Light instantly entered eternal oblivion.
Death VS Holy Light, the confrontation of these two attributes determined victory and defeat in an instant.
Seeing this, Dean¡¯s face grew serious, and an angelic pattern suddenly appeared on his forehead. A brand new lightsaber gradually appeared in the Holy Light Angel¡¯s grip.
In contrast to the incredibly dazzling Purification Spear, this lightsaber was rather dim, which from afar, looked like an ordinary white longsword.
However, after summoning this lightsaber, the Holy Light Field, which was slowly being eroded by the Death Force Field, suddenly overturned its deteriorating situation, not only expelled the Power of Death from its chest but also counterattacked Alpha.
¡°Things are getting serious¡¡±
Seeing the Holy Light Angel in this state, Bai Qi immediately understood that Dean was pulling out all the stops, and Alpha alsopletely unleashed the restraints on the Power of Death, a dead-quiet aura in an instant enveloped the entire field.
¡°Did Bai Qj really just ascend to the Four Stage not long ago? Looking at the Barrier Tree Man, who was noticeably affected just by experiencing the aftermath of the Death Aura, Wang Huai showed a bitter smile.
The strength of the King-level life was indeed terrifying. If they didn¡¯t have Dean Bo Ge on their side, besides Li Xusheng, Bai Qi could¡¯ve beaten the rest of them single-handedly.
This was much more terrifying than the Saber-toothed Tiger whose power had been limited.
The Holy Light Angel and Alpha, who had likewise unleashed their powers, faced each other again. When their swords, Lightsaber and the Sword of Death shed, the shock wave affected the battles of the surrounding people, so they all increased their distance from them.
However, it was quite clear that the Holy Light Angel couldn¡¯t maintain this power for long. After exchanging dozens of steps with Alpha, the lightsaber in the Holy Light Angel¡¯s hand showed signs of copsing.
Seeing this, the Judgment Angel, who was originally entangled with Delta and Gamma, decided to switch its target and was about toe over to help without hesitation.
¡°Iris, that¡¯s enough.¡±
Dean stopped Iris¡¯s action and even took back the Holy Light Angel. He said, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve been pushed to such a distressing point. Thank you for letting me know that I still have a lot of room to grow.
¡°This time, I lose.¡±
Dean bowed to Bai Qi with a sincere look on his face. Iris also put away the Judgment Angel and stood next to Dean, not moving.
¡°What the heck is going on¡¡±
Bai Qi looked a little bewildered. ording to team battle rules, in each team of five contestants, if three contestants lose theirbat ability, it¡¯s considere that the entire team lost the match. Therefore, they started in that way of probing.
Now, were these two nning to just lose like that?
Woof woof!
What¡¯s happening, I haven¡¯t started showing off my maneuvers yet!
Kha-pu, kha-pu.
Wings, Gamma still wants to eat¡
Beta and Gamma each disyed their terrible disappointment, but Dean was determined not to take another shot. After signaling the referee, Leng Feifei, he was directly teleported out of the arena.
The sudden change of situation left the audience outside the field incredibly surprised. Wang Huai and hispanions, who were still in the field, had a face full of helplessness.
It¡¯s barely fine with five on five, but now it¡¯s five on three. Besides, there¡¯s Bai Qi, that guy who has raised a bunch of freakish pets. How are they going to fight this?
¡°I think, we seem to be able to save some trouble.
Xiao Yuan, who had already confirmed the oue of the match, stopped attacking, and Xia Yan and the others also pulled away and stopped making a move.
The vast arena was left with only Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng still fighting.
¡°So, we¡¯re not fighting anymore?¡±
Bai Qi, looking somewhat speechless at the people who had already ended the battle, had nned for today¡¯s battle for so long, but ended up with two of his own leaving for no reason, and the remaining two didn¡¯t want to continue fighting.
¡°I don¡¯t think my Broken Army can fight against a King-level creature, let
alone your pets¡¡±
Xia Yan paused, without finishing his words, he said, ¡°After I upgrade the Broken Army to King-level, I¡¯lle to challenge you again.¡± Wang Huai also shrugged, saying, ¡°Although I knewyour pets were freaky, I didn¡¯t expect that after not seeing you for a bit, you¡¯ve be like this, can t beat you, can¡¯tbeatyou.¡±
Bai Qi licked his lips and had no choice but to ept this reality. Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha, who were still fighting, finally noticed the abnormalities around them. They both stopped at the same time and returned to their teams.
¡°What happened?¡±
Li Xusheng, who had been focusing all his attention, was unaware of the situation around him and asked Wang Huai.
¡°Dean and Ellis surrendered. We¡¯ve lost the advantage; we¡¯ve lost the team battle.¡±
Wang Huai sighed with resignation. Upon hearing that Dean and Ellis had surrendered, Li Xusheng frowned and looked around, only to find that they were no longer in the stands.
Did these so-called aristocratic children flee before the battle? Is this their attitude towards the fight?
¡°It seems, the result is out.¡±
Zhao Futu looked at Wang Jian and Wang Jian smiled faintly and said, ¡°It seems the Beast Master Association has won again. The old man needs to reorganize the Thirteenth Bureau before he retires. They¡¯ve been ck in recent years.¡¯ The two of them exchanged a look, smiled, and walked to the front of the stand. ¡°Therefore, I officially announce that the winner of this team battle is the Beast Master Association!¡±
As soon as the words fell, a cheer broke out from the Association, while the atmosphere at the Thirteenth Bureau was gloomy, with faces full of disappointment.
Among them, many med the Bo Ge trio.
As members of the Thirteenth Bureau and its training camp, they were all under military-style management, so they could ept losing the match, but they were disgruntled with Dean and others who fled halfway through, indeed, the skeleton was strong, but as the first line of defense against ferocious beasts, they knew what the federation¡¯s fate would be if everyone behaved this way.
Wang Jian also noticed the Beast Masters¡¯ thoughts within the Thirteenth Bureau, but he had no intention of cating them. Instead, it was Zhao Futu who interrupted the noise below, saying: ¡°Tomorrow will be the second round of theoretical exams, and afterwards, we will give out the final grades to all students.¡±
¡°Those who did not show their true strength in practicalbat, you need to work hard tomorrow.¡±
¡°That will be all for today.¡±
After his words, everyone felt a shift in space around them. They were once again back in the assembly hall, but the leaders of both factions had disappeared.
¡°This contest wasn¡¯t quite as I expected¡¡¯
The team battle ended abruptly, leaving Bai Qi somewhat unsatisfied.
Alpha was fine, having fought against the Holy Light Angel, while Gamma had performed well in the singlebat.
Delta had been a bit aggrieved, having been worked out halfway through the fight with Li Xusheng, and the Judgment Angel he faced next clearly didn¡¯t use all his strength.
It was Schuck Beta who was the worst off, left with nothing but a brainless bombardment apart from a single Spirit Storm.
¡°That¡¯s all because someone was too abnormal.
Zhou Yan, who also didn¡¯t get a good fight, grimaced. The abrupt withdrawal of Dean and Ellis was the main reason for the abrupt end of this team battle, but the root cause was Alpha, Bai Qi¡¯s beast, which was shockingly strong. Their own kind, the undead creatures, which had been suppressed by the Holy Light series for years, ironically managed to dominate the Holy Light Biological. Even though Dean and Ellis were teamed up, Zhou Yan felt it was a bit much.
¡°Well, it¡¯s good enough that we won. At least we¡¯ve secured the title of champions.¡±
Xiao Yuan smiled, ying down Zhou Yan¡¯s mood, and everyone¡¯s attention was diverted.
¡°I wonder who will be the runner-up, it¡¯s still a piece of mythical-grade resource after all.¡±
Zhou Yan sighed regretfully. She had originally hoped to score big in the practicalbat that had been pushed up, but her performance in both the singlebat and team battle were mediocre, and she was not hopeful of making it to the top three.
¡°If I¡¯ve guessed correctly, it should be Cha.¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses. Like Bai Qi, Bai Qiucha cut through thepetition. She was leading in terms of data, after all, neither Dean nor Li Xusheng defeated more than eleven people.
Given the win in this team battle, the chances of Bai Qiucha getting second were quite high.
¡°However, it will depend upon the theory exam tomorrow. Cha¡¯s knowledge of runes is somewhat problematic.¡±
At this Bai Qiucha gave a wry smile. Among all theoretical subjects, he was least interested in the ss on runes. Although he was less mediocre than most,pared to Bai Qi, Lu Qing, his knowledge wasn¡¯t enough.
¡°I¡¯ll try to give an extraordinary performance.¡¯
Although he didn¡¯t need help from external materials and could get a powerful legendary skeleton dragon just by improving step by step, this was no longer a personalpetition but a sh between two major factions, so he absolutely couldn¡¯t afford to lose this spot.
¡°By the way, where¡¯s Bai Qi? He won¡¯t mess up in the theory exam tomorrow, will he? After all, he hasn¡¯t attended ss for a long time.¡±
Zhou Yan looked around but found that Bai Qi had disappeared at some point. ¡°You¡¯d better worry about yourself first; I have serious doubts about whether you can pass the theory exam tomorrow.¡±
Lu Qing adjusted her sses and delivered a merciless blow to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan, who had been full of enthusiasm just moment ago, instantly fell t and went to a corner to sulk.
It¡¯s not fair, why can¡¯t there be special talents who only know how to fight? Wait, it seems like she doesn¡¯t even count as one who can fight now¡
Chapter 259 - 255: Bootlicker Number Two
Chapter 259: Chapter 255: Bootlicker Number Two
Tower of Decision.
Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu, who was grinning at him, with a helpless expression on his face.
Originally, he was hanging out in the gathering hall, chatting with a few people, when suddenly, he found himself teleported to the Tower of Decision.
Without a doubt, in the whole Six Tower, the only one who could do this was Zhao Futu.
¡°Chairman, next time if there¡¯s anything, could you please give me a heads up? These sudden changes could scare someone to death,¡± Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butin to Zhao Futu, who justughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want the first ce prize?¡±
¡°Absolutely, absolutely want it!¡±
Bai Qi immediately put on a ttering smile and nodded repeatedly, then asked curiously, ¡°The first ce prize? Isn¡¯t there still a theoretical exam?¡± ¡°The main skills a Beast Master needs to excel in are in practicalbat, the first round of the examination already gave us a general idea. The theoretical exam only provides another route for development for some.¡±
¡°After all, not everyone is willing to venture into the wild.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. While most Beast Masters dreamt of exploring the unknown wilderness and witnessing more rarely-seen beasts, others only saw it as a means to enhance theirpetitiveness in various fields.
Just like Lu Qing and Yi Xiaowei ¡
Unsurprisingly, they might not step into the wilderness for the rest of their lives. Even if they did, it would only be in association-organized activities.
¡°So, the top three ranks have already been announced?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu with curiosity, and Zhao Futu nodded, handing Bai Qi the list of names.
The list wasn¡¯t for anything trivial; it was the ranking of the top ten participants in the currentpetition.
And the first ce was Bai Qi.
Two Mythical Level resources, soon to be obtained!
Bai Qi punched the air, already somewhat impatient, yet he still patiently kept reading the list.
¡°Second ce, Bai Qiucha; third ce, Li Xusheng; fourth ce, Dean Berg;
Fifth ce, Ellis Bogger; Sixth ce, Xiao Yuan¡¡±
The top three names were somewhat within Bai Qi¡¯s expectations, but the subsequent ranks somewhat surprised him.
¡°The performance of our association is rather¡ disappointing.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s expression gradually became solemn. ording to his understanding of both sides, apart from Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng, the abilities of the other members were almost simr. But the trio from the Berg family, who suddenly made their appearance, clearly overstepped the line.
Bai Qi was sure that if he hadn¡¯t sent Lilith away earlier, she would have definitely made it to the top ten.
The advantage of a Mythical Species was indeed significant.
¡°It¡¯s normal. For a family like the Berg family that has hundreds of years of legacy, they naturally have some advantages. Plus, the beasts raised by Xiao Yuan and the others might not be inferior to the Mythical Species,¡± said Zhao Futu, who didn¡¯t seem worried in the slightest, ¡°But in the future, you would do well to be more careful. With the two powers you demonstrated earlier, the Berg family would have probably tried several attempts to kill you a few hundred years ago.¡±
Bai Qi timidly pulled down his cor. He didn¡¯t know about this world, but in his previous life, both the Power of Death and the Evil Power would havebeled him as a heretic and sentenced him to burning at the stake.
¡°Chairman, do you know about the demon ss?¡± Upon hearing Zhao Futu mention this, Bai Qi immediately asked.
¡°Of course, I¡¯ve personally discovered a secret realm of the demon ss. Though I didn¡¯t encounter any living demonic creatures, I was able to get a glimpse of its mysteries.¡±
Zhao Futu nodded, and said solemnly, ¡°Even though the demon ss is strong, you shouldn¡¯t obsess over it too much. To my knowledge, the early death of the Law Emperor is connected to the demon ss.¡±
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly. He was well aware of the danger rted to the Evil Energy me which could burn life force. Gamma too had almost failed to withstand the damage from it thest time.
But now that Gamma had a certain ability of the demon ss, if they faced a simr situation in the future, they probably wouldn¡¯t be in such a difficult position.
Perhaps sensing Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, Zhao Futu revealed a strange smile and said, ¡°Once this bigpetition is over, you¡¯ll have to temporarily leave the headquarters and go to different departments to learn. So, it¡¯s best for you to arrange everything here sooner rather thanter.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. Besides the materials that were yet to be exchanged, the only thing that needed his attention was Nichs the cowardly dragon.
But these days, Nichs seemed to be having a good time with Old Lady Fan, so
Bai Qi probably wouldn¡¯t need to interfere much.
¡°Alright, you¡¯ve fought for the whole day, you must be tired. Take a good rest. After the theoretical exam is over tomorrow, you can get the resources you want.¡±
Zhao Futu smiled and said, ¡°Appreciate your life now. Back in our day, it was not so easy to get a Mythical Level resource. The Federation will be relying on your generation for protection in the future.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s face turned serious. The tranquil life of the Federation these past two decades had been fought for by the older generations of Beast Masters like Zhao Futu. Although it seemed a little dramatic to say so, if the Ferocious Beast Tribe attacked the Federation again, he would undoubtedly have to step up.
After all, why would he send back the Ferocious Beast resources that were delivered to his doorstep?
By the time Bai Qi left the Tower of Decision, it was already pitch ck outside and his stomach had begun to rumble with hunger.
¡°Fill my stomach first, then take a good sleep.¡±
The next day.
The theoretical exam proceeded as scheduled, but the subjects being tested were quite diverse. In addition to their usual study of pet beast cultivation, dissection of ferocious beasts, and runes, there were also questions about tactics, management, and even interpersonal rtions.
In simple terms, this theoretical exam was a mishmash.
¡°I¡¯m done for, none of the topics I prepared for came up. I¡¯m doomed this time.¡±
Zhou Yan walked out of the exam room with a gloomy face and startedining as soon as he saw Xiao Yuan and the others, ¡°Who the hell set the questions this time, they were all over the ce.¡±
¡°Well, as far as I know, it was set by the six Tower Masters and the examiners together. Instructor Leng was also involved.¡±
Xiao Yuan chuckled, causing Zhou Yan¡¯s expression to change, ¡°I knew it, the test had such broad coverage this time, so the teachers were also involved.¡± Seeing Zhou Yan¡¯s expression, the others couldn¡¯t help butugh. The theoretical exam this time was indeed difficult, covering a range ofplex areas, but they all saw the purpose of the association and the Thirteenth Bureau.
In simple terms, this theoretical exam was a survey of future development goals. The association and the Thirteenth Bureau would decide your future based on the results of this theoretical exam, so their intentions were very clear when they were answering the questions.
¡°By the way, Bai Qi, how did your exam go?¡±
Xiao Yuan turned to Bai Qi, who was thest to leave the examination hall, and asked.
¡°Not bad I guess, the test was pretty basic. I should be able to ace the objective questions, but I¡¯m not sure about the subjective ones.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, looking resigned, which caused Zhou Yan¡¯s expression to be even more mournful after hearing his words.
¡°I can¡¯t beat you in a fight, and I can¡¯t outdo you in an exam, why do I have to be grouped with a freak like you¡¡±
Everyone empathically agreed. Before they met Bai Qi, they were still able to ept others calling them prodigies, but since they met Bai Qi, they had turned against this term.
This was no prodigy but a beast!
¡°The overall grades will probably be released by noon. Since we don¡¯t have any tasks, why don¡¯t we all go out to eat?¡±
Xiao Yuan looked around and said, ¡°We¡¯ve been training together for quite a while, but we don¡¯t seem to have had a proper gathering. Let me treat everyone today.¡±
¡°We can go eat, but you don¡¯t need to be the one to treat.¡±
Zhou Yan walked over to Bai Qi¡¯s side and pped his shoulder, ¡°Disregarding a three-core drive candidate like this is disrespectful, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Wouldn¡¯t you say so, Bai Qi?¡±
Seeing that Zhou Yan was clearly prepared to target the wealthy ones, Bai Qi rolled his eyes, ¡°It¡¯s just a treat, it¡¯s the right thing to do. After all, thanks to you senior, I¡¯ve received quite a few points. I do understand the principle of courtesy.¡±
With that, Bai Qi instantly hit Zhou Yan¡¯s sore spot, defusing the situation, never to speak again.
¡°Um, Bai Qi, are you going out to eat? Can I join you?¡±
At this time, a slightly yful voice came from the side. Bai Qi looked up to see that it was Tang Miao, and behind her were Wang Huai and the rest of the special attack team.
¡°Tang Miao, don¡¯t spout nonsense.¡±
Wang Huai red at Tang Miao, then apologized to Bai Qi, ¡°Bai Qi, you don¡¯t have to bother about her, just do your own thing.¡±
Bai Qi chuckled, ¡°So, are you guys nning to head back?¡±
Wang Huai shook his head, ¡°Not yet. Both our leaders seem to have some matters to discuss, and they asked us to stay in Songlin City to take a look around. We were nning to rest for a while before strolling around the nearby area.¡±
¡°Perfect, let¡¯s all go out to eat together. It will be more lively with more people.¡±
¡°Yay!¡±
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao was overjoyed and her cute and charming eyes stunned many association apprentices justing out of the exam room.
There were too few female Beast Masters in the training camp, and the few that were there each had their own unique characteristics. Seeing the vibrant and youthful Tang Miao, these boys, who had been cooped up in the headquarters for several months, felt their hearts flutter.
¡°Bai Qi, do you¡ know her?¡±
Bai Yuxiao, with a blushed face, quietly stepped closer to Bai Qi and asked in a low voice.
¡°Do you mean Tang Miao? I met her on a prior mission, why do you ask?¡± Bai Qi looked at Bai Yuxiao somewhat puzzled, not sure what he meant.
¡°Do you know if she has a boyfriend?¡±
Bai Qi: ¡°¡¡±
What¡¯s with young people nowadays, always thinking about love and rtionships? Don¡¯t they know that women will only drag down their progress in Beast Control?
Absurd!
¡°I¡¯m not sure, but I suggest you ask her teammate.¡±
Bai Qi nodded to Li Xusheng, who was standing nearby, and Li Xusheng immediately felt it and sharply turned to re at Bai Qi, whilst a fierce aura shot directly at them.
¡°Ahem¡ forget it, I¡¯ll ask next time.¡±
Seeing Li Xusheng¡¯s reaction, Bai Yuxiao immediately gave up on his n to inquire further. However, he couldn¡¯t take his eyes off Tang Miao, which left Bai Qi and Xiao Yuan exchanging nces.
The second bootlicker is born.
Chapter 260 - 256: Redeem Rewards
Chapter 260: Chapter 256: Redeem Rewards
Upon Bai Qi¡¯s enthusiastic invitation, the members of the Special Attack Group One eventually agreed to dine with Bai Qi and others. The chosen location was, of course, the Songyue Building.
¡°Miss Tang Miao, this is a signature dish of the Songyue Building. Would you
like to try it?¡±
¡°Miss Tang Miao, let me pour you some tea¡¡±
¡°Miss Tang Miao¡¡±
On the way, Bai Yuxiao couldn¡¯t resist asking Wang Huai about Tang Miao¡¯s love life. After finding out that Tang Miao was single, he immediately turned into a faithfulpdog, following her closely and showering her with attention.
¡°Cha, is he always like this?¡±
Bai Qi held his tongue and turned to Bai Qiucha, whispering his question.
¡°I¡¯m not very sure. Yuxiao likes to run around all over the ce; we don¡¯t meet more than a few times a year.¡±
Bai Qiucha let out a bitter smile and said, ¡°But no, I don¡¯t think so.
¡°Oh, I see.¡±
With a knowing look, Bai Qi nced at Li Mu, who also seemed to be on the offensive, goaded by the stimting scene. He sighed,
Apdog to the end would end up gaining nothing.
Pity the party concerned couldn¡¯t understand thismon sense.
However, some lessonse exceptionally fast.
Looking at Bai Yuxiao¡¯s ingratiating expression, Tang Miao squinted and smiled, ¡°Little brother, elder sister doesn¡¯t like boys younger than me. So you can give up now.¡±
As soon as Tang Miao¡¯s words came out, Bai Yuxiao looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned ashen. Bai Qi even faintly heard the sound of something shattering.
Good heavens, it ended before it even started. Compared to this, Li Mu seemed
fortunate.
Seeing Bai Yuxiao¡¯s dejected expression, Wang Huai let out a helpless sigh,
¡°Tang Miao, be more respectful in your words.¡±
¡°Oh-¡±
Tang Miao stuck out her tongue yfully. Her adorable manner cheered Bai Yuxiao up again. He gave Wang Huai and Li Xusheng a dangerous look.
Since Tang Miao didn¡¯t like boys younger than her, her target must be among these people.
Wang Huai was worldly and experienced, as well as being the leader. But he looked too reserved, so he probably wasn¡¯t it.
The Baili Brothers might have looked decent, but their strange behaviors meant they couldn¡¯t be it.
Li Xusheng, mature and powerful, and good-looking, it had a high probability
of being him!
With the help of love, Bai Yuxiao overcame his fear of Li Xusheng and secretly
set a target.
Surpass Li Xusheng!
Bai Yuxiao¡¯s attitude naturally caught everyone¡¯s attention. They looked at each other, and finally, Xiao Yuan initiated the conversation, ¡°Bai Qi, where do you n to go once thepetition is over?¡±
Bai Qi thought for a moment, ¡°I¡¯ll probably return to Gusu City. I haven¡¯t finished my mechatronics sses, so I should go back to school first.
Though the training camp had taught a lot, it missed out on mechatronics. Although Schuck provided Bai Qi with theplete mechanical guide under Seven Stage, he still needed to learn some detailed knowledge in person.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re going back to school?¡±
Wang Huai looked at Bai Qi speechlessly and said, ¡°Your teachers must be
under a lot of pressure.¡±
Everyone agreed with Wang Huai s words.
A student who had already acquired three core patents would undoubtedly put pressure on any teacher.
Bai Qi looked towards Xiao Yuan and the rest. ¡°What about you guys? Are you going to stay in Six Tower or go on some adventures?¡±
Xiao Yuan said, ¡°I¡¯ll stay in Six Tower for now, my grandfather wants me to focus on training, my abilities are kind of weak.¡±
¡°Grandfather, is it Xiao Chuanqi?¡±
As soon as Wang Huai heard this, he eximed, ¡°So the legendary¡¯s expectations for their descendants are indeed higher. And to think I used to consider my own abilities decent, this time I feel deeply taught.¡±
Xiao Yuan shed a faint smile andmanded, ¡°Captain Wang, you¡¯re too kind. I can¡¯t even break through your defense.¡±
After they exchanged a fewpliments, they started chatting. Bai Qi could only turn to the rest.
¡°I¡¯ll go with my teacher for field training. My teacher says that my battle consciousness is stillcking and needs a lot of honing.¡±
Zhou Yan waved his hand and turned to Lu Qing, asking, ¡°Qing¡¯er, are you staying in the Tower of Knowledge?¡±
Lu Qing nodded and said, ¡°I still have a lot to learn, so I probably won¡¯t leave the Tower of Knowledge.¡±
¡°I will stay in Six Tower.¡±
Hearing this, Li Mu also rified his n. However, it was unclear who he was addressing.
¡°What about Cha?¡±
¡°Me? I¡¯m going back to Gusu City. I just started school, and I haven¡¯t had a single ss in the Undead Department yet. I must make up for it as soon as possible.¡±
Bai Qi grinned and said, ¡°That¡¯s perfect then. We are ssmates.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, ¡°When we get back, I will have a good fight with your Death Sword Monarch.¡±
¡°Death Sword Monarch? Isn¡¯t your pet beast the Wilting Dragon Lord, Bai Qi?
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao was taken aback and asked.
¡°Wilting Dragon Lord was at Lord Level, but now it has be¡
¡°King-level.¡±
¡°So, Death Sword Monarch must be Wilting Dragon Lord¡
¡°Who had leveled up.¡±
The Baili Brothers simultaneously looked at Tang Miao, who suddenly understood, causing Bai Yuxiao to be even more infatuated with her innocent and adorable expression.
Miss Tang Miao was indeed adorable, even when acting dumb-
¡°But Bai Qi, the rate at which your pet evolves is a bit exaggerated, right? If I remember correctly, Alpha was initially just a Skeleton Soldier, right?
Xiao Yuan curiously looked at Bai Qi and asked the question that everyone had been wondering about for a while.
Everyone knew, before Bai Qi published his research on the Rune Evolution method for Undead Department organisms, all pets wanting to evolve relied on special forms. Most were not publicly avable, leaving most people to rely on luck for evolution.
Even when the form was known, gathering the necessary ingredients was no simple task. Aside from the primary ingredient, collecting the various auxiliary ingredients was a big project.
For someone like Bai Qi to go through all that trouble to raise a lowly servant to King-level¡ it was intimidating to think of the amount of resources and effort it must have taken.
¡°Uh, would you believe me if I said I just had good luck?
Bai Qi scratched his head. Seeing that everyone was giving him scornful looks,
he gave up on his defense.
Indeed, it was one thing for one pet to evolve like this, but for several of them. If it was purely luck, Bai Qi¡¯s lifetime wouldn¡¯t be long enough to exin it.
¡°Bai Qi, did you discover some special evolution method that you haven¡¯t told us? Otherwise, your pets¡¯ evolution is way too fast! Like for example, the Rune Evolution method for other lifeforms?¡±
Zhou Yan looked suspiciously at Bai Qi, seemingly searching Bai Qi¡¯s face for methods to elerate pet evolution.
¡°The Rune Evolution and Flesh Fusion methods are too difficult. For now, I can¡¯t figure it out,¡± Bai Qi wryly smiled. ¡°Anyway, you guys aren¡¯tcking evolution schemes either, right? I¡¯ve just utilized more Mythical resources than you.¡±
Everyone went silent after hearing this. They had indeed heard about Bai Qi exchanging a lot of Mythical level resources for various reasons, including his frequent purchases of Epic Materials.
But pet evolution wasn¡¯t like fattening a pig. It would not grow fatter just by eating more and better. If it indulged in something harmful, it could be ruined.
Therefore, this guy definitely had secrets.
Seeing the scrutinizing gaze of the others, Bai Qi felt more and more helpless. The Evolution Egg was his biggest secret, which he absolutely could not reveal. Moreover, he estimated that even if he revealed it, not many people would believe him.
Anything that could increase a race¡¯s value just by consuming physical strength and easily fuse various resources to gain skills was bound to raise eyebrows. However, this did serve as a warning for him. If this continued, sooner orter someone would suspect him. He needed to find a convincing exnation soon.
Or, should he research the Rune Evolution of flesh creatures once the equipment his parents had helped procure arrived?
Hmm, or should he ask his parents if they could share any research materials on Ancestral Beasts? He might gain something from it.
After a satisfying meal and drink, the group left Songyue Building, and the two previously rival teams had be quite familiar with each other.
Bai Qi was not surprised by this.
In any world, there¡¯s nothing that can¡¯t be solved over a meal.
If there is, then simply have two meals.
¡°Thanks for your hospitality today. If anyone has a chance to visit the capital, remember to look for me,¡± Wang Huai turned to Xiao Yuan and continued, ¡°Hopefully we will have the opportunity to coborate in the future.
¡°I think there will be,¡± Xiao Yuan smiled and responded, ¡°The Thirteenth Bureau and the Association have a close rtionship, perhaps we¡¯ll have a chance soon.¡±
The two exchanged a knowing smile. Zhou Yan suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°The theoretical exam results should be out by now, shouldn¡¯t we hurry back to check?¡±
¡°They¡¯ve been out for a while, didn¡¯t your badge receive the message?¡± Lu Qing gave Zhou Yan a speechless look. Zhou Yan suddenly realized, quickly opened his badge, and only after seeing the word ¡°pass¡± and his ranking did he breathe a sigh of relief.
¡°It wasn¡¯t easy, but I barely passed.
Zhou Yan patted his chest and suddenly realized that someone was missing.
¡°Huh? Where¡¯s Bai Qi?¡±
¡°I guess, maybe he¡¯s gone to im the President¡¯s promised reward? I¡¯m the second highest, so Bai Qi must be the first,¡± Bai Qiucha smiled and said, ¡°Two, Mythical resources¡ I wonder what kind of level Bai Qi¡¯s pets will reach next.¡± ¡°It might be more than two, remember, the President¡¯s points reward this time is substantial. With Bai Qi¡¯s ranking, he gets at least a hundred thousand points, so at least one Mythical resource is guaranteed.¡±
Lu Qing pushed up her sses, looked at Zhou Yan, and said, ¡°So, if certain people still want to surpass Bai Qi, they¡¯d better work harder.¡±
¡°Three Mythical resources¡ I suspect Bai Qi could raise three King-level creatures. I¡¯ve given up¡¡±
Bai Qi shrugged indifferently and seemed to give up in despair.
If it was Xiao Yuan and the others, or even Bai Qiucha, he would still have the confidence to catch up, but a freak like Bai Qi, who had risen to Four Stage in just a few months without missing a double level on his pets¡ Better not.
¡°I wonder what Mythical resources Bai Qi will exchange for?¡±
Chapter 261 - 257: Source of Life
Chapter 261: Chapter 257: Source of Life
Holy Relic Tower.
Bai Qi had a huge smile on his face, looking at the scores disyed on his badge, he was in an extremely good mood.
Almost one hundred and fifty thousand points, enough for Bai Qi to exchange another legend-grade resource, and still have a fair amount left.
¡°The third stage of training might take ce in different locations, but I should still be able to earn points, right? I¡¯m only short by over thirty thousand, maybe I can swap for another one.¡±
Bai Qi quickly nned his use of the points and headed towards Xiang Li¡¯s office.
Seeing Bai Qiing, Xiang Li immediately understood Bai Qi¡¯s n andughed, ¡°So eager to exchange for resources?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and smiled, ¡°That¡¯s right, I need to trouble Master Xiang for some advice again.¡±
Xiang Li gave a faint smile, saying, ¡°Go ahead, which resources do you want to exchange? Given your points, you should be able to exchange for three resources.¡±
¡°For the first two, I n to exchange for the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core. As for the third one, I haven¡¯t decided.¡±
The Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core were both for Gamma¡¯s use, effectively letting Gamma skip a team trial. The only ones left who hadn¡¯t used their first-round legendary resources were Husky and Delta.
Although he had exchanged a spiritual resource with the Thirteenth Bureau, both Husky and Delta could use it. He originally nned to let the two Beastspete, but now that another one had appeared, Bai Qi was in a dilemma.
Should he exchange all for spiritual resources to make up for Delta¡¯s spirit power shorings, or go all-in on one approach and exchange for a legendary resource that can enhance base attributes?
This is so troubling¡
Seeing Bai Qi looking troubled, Xiang Li pondered slightly, and said, ¡°Since you haven¡¯t decided, why not listen to my suggestion?¡±
¡°I¡¯m all ears.¡±
Xiang Li paused for a moment, ¡°Your skeletal-type pet, called Death Sword Monarch, right? It has unlimited potential to reach King-level at the fourth stage, but you can probably hold off for now. If your pet¡¯s power rises too quickly, it can put unnecessary pressure on your soul.¡±
Bai Qi understood. Although Alpha was only at the fourth stage King-level, just like Bai Qiucha¡¯s Skeleton Dragon, if they progressed too quickly, it would harm his soul. Anyway, Alpha had already used the first round of the legendary resources, so Bai Qi hadn¡¯t considered it.
¡°Then, the strange slime creature, the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core you wanted to exchange should be for it. Although I¡¯m not sure why you would risk fusing holy light and evil power, with the Twin Star Core, it should work.¡±
¡°For the remaining two beasts, I rmend that you enhance the Ancestral Beast.¡±
Xiang Li paused, ¡°An Ancestral Beast that can evolve and devolve ording to the external environment, in my opinion, has a higher limit than your Death Sword Monarch.¡±
¡°If one day, you could train your Ancestral Beast into a legendary creature, I can assure you, no creature of the same level could guarantee a win against it!¡± After hearing Xiang Li¡¯s words, Bai Qi had an epiphany, indeed, if he could train Delta into a legendary creature, without the burden of bloodline level disparity, Delta would truly deserve the title of hexagonal all-around warrior.
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, looked at Xiang Li, and said, ¡°Do you have any suitable rmendations, Master Xiang?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi taking his advised, Xiang Li nodded in satisfaction.
The genius is always defiant, but a genius who refuses to listen to others¡¯ advice is likely to die prematurely. Like Bai Qi, whose talent was exceptional and yet could take advice from others, his future was undoubtedly bright.
Xiang Li opened up hisputer, pulled out the data on a legendary resource, and said, ¡°I watched your match that day, your Ancestral Beast can maintain that form by consuming energy provided by its allies, right?¡±
¡°So I rmend you choose this ¡®Source of Life¡¯.¡±
¡°Source of Life?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, already agreeing to Xiang Li¡¯s suggestion.
[Name]: Source of Life
[Level]: Mythical Level
[Introduction]: The core left behind by a King-level Tree of Life after its death, it contains all the vitality of the Tree of Life and can greatly improve the life essence of a beast.
Bai Qi was only thinking about improving Delta¡¯s basic attributes, he hadn¡¯t thought that there was something like the Source of Life that could directly improve life essence.
Once the life essence was improved, other attributes would also improve.
¡°To be honest, the immediate improvement brought by the Source of Life is not as noticeable as other materials, but for your Ancestral Beast, it couldn¡¯t be more suitable.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, saying, ¡°Thank you for your advice, Master Xiang.¡±
Xiang Liughed, ¡°I¡¯m hoping to pull you into Holy Relic Tower, so this little favor, whether I want to help or not, I have to.¡±
Bai Qi gave a wry smile, he didn¡¯t object to joining the Six Tower, but looking at Lu Qing and Yi Xiaowei who always stayed in the tower, Bai Qi wanted to wander around a bit before deciding.
Soon, the three legendary resources were delivered to Bai Qi. He didn¡¯t stay for long in the Holy Relic Tower and bid farewell to Xiang Li before leaving.
Gamma¡¯s basic benefits were at hand, and Delta also had a material to use before reaching fourth stage. It was time to fulfill their basic benefits first.
That being said, apart from the spiritual materials the Thirteenth Bureau hadn¡¯t sent yet, it seemed that all the resources for the first stage of the four pets¡¯ enhancement had arrived. It might be time to host a new internalpetition.
¡°Although we¡¯re now in a better situation, we still need to keep pushing ourselves. Comcency is not a good habit.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips and headed straight for the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Even though Gamma had absorbed the wings of the Judgement Angel, it was clear he hadn¡¯tpletely done so. Bai Qi nned to use the Twin Star Core to bnce the two types of energy first, which might bring unexpected results. However, this could consume more energy than he had anticipated, so it would be safer to stay near Nichs.
Moreover, he was about to return to Gusu City, so he needed to say goodbye to Nichs.
After all, he was the only acquaintance Nichs had here¡right?
He watched Nichs, with a sly smile on his face, eagerly exining the dishes he had just cooked to Old Lady Fan in the Green Dragon Secret Realm. Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched.
Why were there so many bootlickers, groveling towards dogs and dragons, around himtely? For the first time, he felt that Zhao Futu¡¯s decision to make them study in a different ce was perfectly right.
Training in such an environment was mood spoiling indeed.
¡°Bai Qi, what brings you here?¡±
Old Lady Fan was the first to notice Bai Qi¡¯s arrival. ¡°How¡¯s Delta doing recently?¡±
¡°Things should be fine, I think.¡±
Bai Qi summoned all four pets. Delta immediately jumped into Old Lady Fan¡¯s arms, showing affection by rubbing its head against her palm.
Good gracious, even space rifts were forming. True to her legend status, Old Lady Fan seemed to be unaffected.
Bai Qi stared with dread at the space rifts Delta had left behind. He was grateful he had quickly corrected Delta¡¯s reckless actions; otherwise a trip to the ICU would have been inevitable.
¡°Not bad, it grew plump and furry. The fourth stage is not far off, you really spared no effort in nurturing it.¡±
After inspecting Delta, Old Lady Fan gave a satisfied nod, while Bai Qi secretly sighed in relief.
If eating epic-level resources every day didn¡¯t do it any good, he would really be at a loss.
¡°Perfect timing, I just finished eating and was about to go take a nap. You two cando as you please.¡±
Old Lady Fan simply tore open a space rift and returned to the breeding field, leaving Nichs looking gloomy and dispirited, ¡°Bai Qi, is there anything you need from me?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and said, ¡°I just exchanged a few mythical resources, and I¡¯m thinking of enhancing Gamma and the others.¡±
¡°Again?¡±
Nichs raised his head, saying, ¡°I heard from our sister that the upgrade of the pets should be gradual. Upgrading too quickly can lead to an unstable foundation. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to hold steady?¡±
¡°Shouldn¡¯t be a problem, Alpha has been going through the same process.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand. Alpha, starting as a low-level servant and reaching king-level, had been heavily dependent on Evolution Egg¡¯s ability to forcefully enhance its race value and fusion materials. If it wasn¡¯t for his worry about what might unexpectedly happen if he fused holy light with evil power, Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t need to go through all this trouble.
¡°Well then.¡±
Nichs nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s get started. I have to prepare dinner for our sister.¡±
Watching Nichs flipping through recipes while talking, Bai Qi sighed in resignation, and then summoned the rest of the three pets.
Woof?
(I think I smell mythical resources.)
The moment Beta appeared, he seemed to have detected something.
¡°Your nose is indeed sensitive.¡±
Bai Qi ruffled Beta¡¯s head, cing the Twin Star Core and Source of Life in front of Gamma and Delta, ¡°Let¡¯s start by using the base benefits for Gamma and Delta, and then we can start the internalpetition.¡±
¡°Twin Star Core? Beast Master, are you worried about a conflict between the holy light and evil power?¡±
Schuck nced at the Twin Star Core and immediately understood. Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Originally, I was nning to use it to help fuse the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, but now I want to see if it can help in fusing the power of the Judgement Angel.¡±
Based on Gamma¡¯s feedback, the lightning symbol from the Judgement Angel was slowly strengthening his constitution. This meant that it was essentially harmless, but unlike other things, it had not been directly absorbed by Gamma. Bai Qi suspected this might have do with the evil power in Gamma¡¯s body.
He hoped the Twin Star Core could do as described; bnce the two energies of holy light and evil power. If it was sessful, Gamma¡¯s abilities would definitely leap a significant level.
As for Delta, Bai Qi had asked Xiang Li about it. The attributes of the Source of Life were quite gentle. Even if it couldn¡¯t be absorbed all at once, any remaining life essence would be stored in its body forter absorption, so there was no significant problem.
¡°Come on, let me see how far you can be enhanced.¡±
Chapter 262 - 258: Survival of the Fittest
Chapter 262: Chapter 258: Survival of the Fittest
Bai Qi handed the two materials to Gamma and Delta respectively, hesitated for a moment and simultaneously fitted both pets with the Evolution Egg.
At the same time, Bai Qi immediately concentrated his mind and prepared for the iing sense of weakness.
Even though it was a bit daring, the body would strengthen the most after recovering from severe physical exhaustion.
To avoid running out of energy in unforeseen circumstances, especially when Nichs was not around, he would strengthen himself whenever he could.
But what surprised Bai Qi was that the anticipated sense of weakness did not engulf him. Instead, two warm currents came to him from Gamma and Delta, nourishing his body.
One of them was gentle, carrying a hint of dominance, which must be Gamma¡¯s Power of Holy Light, umm, perhaps with a hint of Evil Power.
The other stream teemed with life, making Bai Qi feel as if he was in a forest. He did not need to guess, it must be Delta¡¯s Source of Life.
¡°This is my first time enjoying this kind of benefit.¡±
Not only did they not drain his physical strength, but they also replenished his. Bai Qi felt unustomed to this. Conversely, Nichs was delighted, and he went to cook dinner straight away.
Nichs was determined to continue striving because Old Lady Fan had been full of praises for his cooking. He strived for the day when Old Lady Fan would not be able to resist his cooking.
If you want to conquer a female dragon, you must conquer her stomach first!
¡°This guy adapts faster than I thought. I was worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to cope after I leave.¡±
Looking at the satisfied Nichs, Bai Qi could not help but purse his lips.
¡°Bai Qi, you are leaving?¡±
Although Bai Qi spoke softly, he could not hide it from the ears of Nichs, the Legendary Giant Dragon, who immediately stopped what he was doing and asked: ¡°Are you running away because you are into some trouble?¡±
¡°What am I running from? The third phase of intensive training requires us to go on training outside, so I am going back to Gusu City after a few days.¡± Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes, adding, ¡°Apart from asking for your help with evolution, I also wanted to say goodbye to you.¡±
On hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Nichs immediately understood the situation and began to pack up.
¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you heading back to Gusu City? I¡¯ll go with you.¡±
Nichs quickly packed up his belongings from Jade Valley into his Jade World, asking, ¡°Is there any more room left in your world? Leave a ce for me to nestle.¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you staying with Old Lady Fan?¡±
Nichs seemed a little conflicted, but finally shook his head, replying, ¡°I still prefer apanying you, Bai Qi. As for Lady Fan¡ aren¡¯t you just going out for training? You¡¯ll surelye back, won¡¯t you?¡±
Listened to Nichs¡¯s words, Bai Qi was somewhat moved that the Dragon- Licking Nichs actually changed his mind. Perhaps he misunderstood him before.
¡°You don¡¯t actually need toe with me. Gusu City is only a few days away
from here. I wille back regrly. But if you insist¡¡±
Before Bai Qi could finish his sentence, Nichs had already dumped all the things from his Jade World out again.
¡°If it¡¯s not far away then I won¡¯t go. Otherwise, without my cooking, Old Lady
Fan might not get used to it.¡±
Damn, he actually took my politeness seriously.
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eyes, wasting his emotions. Did Nichs revert to his old nature of a dragon lick?
Looking at Nichs, who was moving his things from the Jade World, Bai Qi helplessly shook his head. He was ready to focus on the condition of his two pets when he suddenly remembered something.
¡°Nichs, I recall you once said that your Green Dragons create a temporary small world for storage?¡±
Bai Qi curiously leaned towards Nichs and asked.
Nichs nodded, exining, ¡°It¡¯s not exactly opening up a new small world. ording to my ancestral memory, it should be a connection to the mythical home of all Green Dragons, called the Jade Dream.¡±
¡°But I haven¡¯t seen other green dragons there. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s real or not.¡±
¡°Jade Dream, huh?¡±
Bai Qi suddenly understood and asked, ¡°So only Green Dragons can connect to it?¡±
Nichs replied, ¡°That¡¯s right. As long as I use the Jade Power to create a connecting seal, I can store things through this seal.¡±
¡°Bai Qi, you seem interested in the Jade Secret World. Are you also intending to
store something, even though you have your portable secret world?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not trying to store things, but something else.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, continuing: ¡°Can the Jade Dream contain living beings?
Like pets, for example?¡±
Nichs paused before answering, ¡°I¡¯ve never tried, but I suppose it should be possible.¡±
¡°That¡¯ll do.¡±
Bai Qi grinned, ¡°Can you do me a favor?¡±
Perhaps due to the materials, the evolution time of Gamma and Delta was notably long. They showed no signs of hatching early.
But that was just right; it allowed Bai Qi to work with Nichs toplete a new work.
¡°I can take it back to give to Zhuge Chen as a gift.¡±
Looking at the Spirit-Control Orb with a green leaf mark in his hand, Bai Qi nodded contentedly, saying, ¡°This is counted as the first experimental production then, let¡¯s call it ¡®Green Leaf Ball¡¯.¡±
Bai Qi put away the Green Leaf Ball, turning to Nichs, asking, ¡°Nichs, are you sure the connection seal will not be interrupted midway?¡±
Nichs shook his head, replying, ¡°In theory, no, it won¡¯t. Unless the energy is drained, the seal is basically permanent.¡±
But Bai Qi, are you sure you want to put your pets in the Jade Secret?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s test it first, it¡¯s just a simple idea.¡± The current configuration of the Spirit-Control Orb was basically without any problems; the only issue left unresolved was the cement of pets. If they could be stored directly in the Jade Dream, wouldn¡¯t they avoid the trouble of sending their pets to the breeding farm?
However, even if sessful, it would be tough to poprize. If, as Nichs said, no other Giant Dragon had been seen in the Jade Dream, then only Nichs would have the ability to connect to the Jade Dream. Even if Nichs was overexerted, it wouldn¡¯t be possible to mark all of them.
¡°It¡¯s best to experiment first. Not sure if other creatures can enter the habitat of the Green Dragon.¡±
Upon a little thought, Bai Qi took out a Spirit-Control Orb again, ¡°Nichs, make me another Green Leaf Ball.¡±
Crack.
Before Nichs could respond, one of the Golden Eggs cracked open, and a wild aura as if from the ancient era emanated from it.
¡°Is this Delta?¡±
Watching the anomaly in front of him, Bai Qi felt a bit exhrated.
Amomahes from ancient times must signify evolution, could this mean that Delta was evolving?
Soon, a barrage ofplex information flooded into Bai Qi¡¯s mind. Bai Qi immediately felt a bloom before his eyes, as if he was back to the Ancient Era with winged dragons, giant apes, and colossal whales¡
Images of these enormous creatures appeared/disappeared in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, and continued to push forward, as if intending to take Bai Qi through the entire Ancient Era.
However, just as Bai Qi was engrossed in the extinct creatures of the Ancient Era, the scene suddenly cut off, and Bai Qi came to his senses.
¡°Was that the memory of the three ancient species just now? It didn¡¯t feel like it¡¡±
Bai Qi recalled the scenes he had just seen with some confusion; he was then drawn to another piece of information.
[Skill Name]: ???
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: A special skill evolved to cope with survival of the fittest and natural selection. It can actively change form ording to external conditions and retain partial form.
Note: Residual storage: 3.
¡°The Heart of Evolution actually levelled up?¡±
Although he hadn¡¯t had time to check Delta¡¯s condition yet, Bai Qi instantly saw the connection between this skill and the Heart of Evolution.
Being able to actively change form ording to external conditions was much more flexible than passive change. However, what satisfied Bai Qi the most was the increase of three more storage slots.
Six forms, as long as the selection was right, Delta really could cope with all situations.
A skill that can actively adapt to the external environment, why not call it ¡®Survival of the Fittest¡¯?¡±
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and gave a new name to Delta¡¯s new skill. Delta then crawled out from the Golden Egg.
Unfortunately, there was no Evolution Light.
¡°Of course, I was too greedy. If the Source of Life could help Delta evolve, he would¡¯ve evolved long ago.¡±
Bai Qi ridiculed himself for a while, and then began to check Delta¡¯s state. Compared to before, Delta¡¯s body was significantlyrger, and his physique had be much stronger. Just by looking, you could detect the powerful force contained within the muscle beneath his body scales.
Blub blub.
(Master, Delta feels so strong now!)
Feeling the unprecedented powerful force inside him, Delta was clearly excited. His ws suddenly pped on the ground; the whole valley seemed to shake a bit, and there were two deep ruts directly on the ground.
Such terrifying power, is the enhancement of the Source of Life so horrifying?¡±
Bai Qi, staring and mouth agape, watched Delta¡¯s performance and soon got an answer from the feedback information.
Although Delta had absorbed a lot of resources and been enhanced, there was still some residual energy in his body. Now, influenced by the Source of Life, all of it was mobilized, leading to such a powerful effect.
Seeing this, Bai Qi ced his hand on Delta. A new panel appeared in Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Name]: Ancestral Beast (Delta) / Wind God Winged Dragon / Diamond Ape / Dragon Horned Whale
[Nature]: None I Wind System / Ground System I Water Department [Bloodline Level): Mid-Level Lord I Low King / Low King / Low King [Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Skills]: Savage Charge (Mid-level ¨C Awakened), Survival of the Fittest (Super Level ¨C Mastered) / Hurricane Control (High Level ¨C Beginner) / Diamond Body (High Level ¨C Beginner) I Dark Tide Impact (High Level ¨C Beginner) [Energy Value]: 2E1100W
[Condition]: Evolvable
Indeed, he had reached the Four Stage, and the energy value had also surged to 2E1100W!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shone. Although he had guessed that the Source of Life could solve Delta¡¯s energy value problem, he hadn¡¯t expected the result to be so strong.
In this way, it became unreasonable that Alpha, now a king-level, had the least energy value.
It didn¡¯t make sense. Afterward, he would also have to look for something that could enhance energy values for Alpha.
Bai Qi secretly nned as a cracking noise from beside him and the brilliant light of evolution followed.
The Evolution Light!
Chapter 263 - 259: Gemini Devourer
Chapter 263: Chapter 259: Gemini Devourer
Watching the shining white and green light on Gamma¡¯s eggshell, Bai Qi¡¯s heart uncontrobly began to pound.
Just by harmonizing the holy light and evil energy, did it trigger Gamma¡¯s evolution?
No, maybe it was because of the wings of the Judgement Angel?
The Bo Ge family, they were good people¡
Themotion from Gamma¡¯s evolution also caught the attention of Alpha and Husky, who were training elsewhere. The twin pets arrived immediately, looking at the spectacle in front of them with some surprise.
A crackling sound.
(These two energies, both so strong, even stronger than that angel!)
A wolf howl¡
(Why do I feel that I might not be able to beat Gamma anymore?)
Feeling the thoughts of the twin pets, Bai Qi smiled as the evolution light inside the eggshell grew even more dazzling, transmitting a series of information into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
[Skill Name]: Twin-Life Contract
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Special series skill, the contract allows the energy to be switched to either holy light or evil power and can store energy in advance within the contract.
As he had anticipated, the Twin Star Core sessfully coordinated the two types of energy and even created an extra skill. It allowed for the free switching of attributes and could store energy, making it a strong auxiliary skill.
Bai Qi felt emotional as the second piece of information arrived.
[Skill Name]: Holy Shock
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Holy Light series, an ability realized from the divine nature of the Judgment Angel. It can convert your energy into the power of divine thunder, dealing a double blow of holy light and thunder to enemies within range, while also having a healing effect on allies within range.
Note: Must be used in the Holy Light Form.
Having both Holy Light and Thunder Power effects, this attack wouldn¡¯t be weak. The key thing was that it could heal groups, making it a highly versatile skill.
¡°Mythical creatures are indeed terrifying, too bad I didn¡¯t rip off wings from the other two angels.¡±
Bai Qi clicked his tongue regretfully. If he could have ripped off the Holy Light Angel¡¯s and Judgment Angel¡¯s wings, he could have probably gotten two more super skills; he would have truly been in ecstasy then.
But it¡¯s not too bad now, a proactive attack-type super skill with added healing effects is certainly a tremendous enhancement for Gamma.
At least for now, his healer position is secure.
Unfortunately, it seems to have little use for Alpha. The Holy Light healing for Alpha probably wouldn¡¯t be much different to a poison.
Just as Bai Qi wasughing, he received information about the third skill.
[Skill Name]: Scorched Earth
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Demon ss, turn the ground into scorched earth with evil energy mes, inflicting indiscriminate fire attacks to all creatures within range of the scorched earth, while also enhancing one¡¯s attack power and speed.
Note: Can only be used in an Evil Power state.
Looking at the familiar skill description, Bai Qi quickly guessed that it should have been an upgrade from the Sacrificial Aura. However, the fact that the Demon ss skill also upgraded was somewhat beyond Bai Qi¡¯s expectations.
Could it be that the evil power inside the Evil Energy Stone was mobilized by the Twin Star Core?
After Bai Qi finished receiving the information about the three skills, the evolution light on Gamma gradually disappeared, and a jade green jelly object appeared in front of Bai Qi.
¡°Didn¡¯t get the force field skill, it¡¯s not easy to upgrade to king-level.¡±
Holy Shock and Scorched Earth are obviously transitional skills to force field skills, meaning that Gamma hasn¡¯t evolved into a king-level creature.
Bai Qi clicked his tongue regretfully, then proceeded to check Gamma¡¯s condition.
Compared to before, Gamma¡¯s appearance was closer to its original form, and a peculiar contract seal can be clearly seen within Gamma¡¯s jade-like body.
This seal was white and green in color. The white part looked like a bolt of lightning, and the green part looked like a raging fire.
¡°Holy light and evil power, is this the Twin-Life Contract?¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly and asked, ¡°Gamma, how much energy can this contract store at most right now?¡±
A crackling sound.
(Gamma hasn¡¯t tried yet, but it should be simr to Gamma¡¯s current energy.)
Simr to Gamma¡¯s current energy?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. Gamma¡¯s current energy was already absurd, and the Twin- Life Contract could store another equal amount. Which creature of the same level could surpass Gamma in energy value?
A crackling sound.
(However, the two energies cannot be stored simultaneously, so Gamma needs to switch states each time.)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stumped and said, ¡°Did you just say that ¡®simr¡¯ without counting the Holy Light, Gamma?¡±
A crackling sound?
(Master, didn¡¯t you just ask Gamma how much it can store?)
Bai Qi: ¡°¡¡±
My goodness, moments ago he thought storing double the energy was a bit too much, now it¡¯s be triple.
Suddenly, calling Gamma a power bank seems a bit inappropriate. It¡¯s clearly an energy storehouse!
¡°But this divine nature of the Judgment Angel didn¡¯t let Gamma evolve into king-level, could it be that it hasn¡¯t been fully absorbed yet?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the lightning mark on the Twin-Life Contract, guessing in his heart, he then ced his hand onto Gamma¡¯s head.
[Name]: ??? (Gamma)
[Nature]: Holy Light / Evil Power (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Racial skills]: Holy Shock (Super ¨C Beginner), Scorched Earth (Super ¨C Proficient), Twin-Life Contract (Super ¨C Beginner), Life Energy Conversion (Super ¨C Proficient), Golden Cicada Shelling (Super ¨C Beginner), Bloodsucking Aura (High Level ¨C Perfect), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level ¨C Perfect), Elemental Resistance (High Level ¨C Master), Energy Division (High Level ¨C Proficient), Split (Mid-Level ¨C Master), Corrosion (Low Level ¨C Perfect)¡
[Energy Value]: 4E6800W
[Condition]: Evolvable
Even though those numerous resistances were consolidated into Elemental Resistance, Gamma¡¯s skill list was still scarily long. Bai Qi¡¯s attention, however, had fallen on Gamma¡¯s attributes.
¡°Holy Light and Evil Power, they¡¯vepletely deviated from the Alien Series, haven¡¯t they?¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips. Although it hadn¡¯t upgraded to King-level, the overall Race had changed, which worked out to be an entirely new creature?
After examining the attribute list, Bai Qi turned his head back to check the skill list.
¡°Light Explosion, Sacrificial Aura, Mimicry, they¡¯re all gone?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the three missing skills on the skill list, thought for a bit, and then made a conjecture.
Without surprise, the three new skills Gamma hadprehended should be advanced versions of these three skills, so they were directly merged.
¡°That works too, saves me the effort of upgrading them.¡±
Bai Qi nodded contentedly, looking at Gamma¡¯s nk race name, he thought for a bit, and said, ¡°Having both Holy Light and Evil Power attributes, they cannot simultaneously appear, how about we call it Gemini Devourer?¡±
Ka-poo Ka-poo!
(Gamma loves this!)
Gamma obviously enjoyed its new name, and joyfully bounced around in ce. Beta, on the other hand, looked a bit down.
Awoo Awoo¡.
(I suddenly don¡¯t feel like trying anymore, human can you just arrange me to be thest one to consume the Mythical-Level resources¡)
Using heighten sensory perception of his Mind¡¯s Eye, Beta clearly perceived the changes in Gamma and had suddenly be devoid of aspiration.
¡°How do you know you can¡¯t beat Gamma without trying? What if you could?¡±
Seeing Beta with a ¡®no will to live¡¯ expression on his face, Bai Qi hastilyforted him, although he himself did not believe in his own words.
Angel, Demon, having consecutively absorbed the tissues of two mythical beings, Gamma¡¯s strength indeed took a qualitative leap.
Although Schuck had also merged with the mechanical me, stepping one foot into the realm of legendary mechanical creatures, Beta¡¯s flesh and blood body seemed a bit weaker inparison.
Woof woof!
(I have gained enlightenment. Emptiness, I am content to go with the flow.)
Beta¡¯s face suddenly showed an expression of transcendence, Bai Qi seemed to see a brilliant Buddha light behind Beta, he swiftly hit Beta on the head with his fist.
¡°Stupid dog, if you want to iste yourself from society, let me help you cut off your troubles. Do you want to achieve this ultimate peace?¡±
Awoo!
(Human, how could you be so ruthless towards your dog!)
Beta instinctively covered his lower body, looking at Bai Qi with a terrified face.
¡°Gamma¡¯s strength has indeed increased quite a lot, but it¡¯s not unbeatable.¡±
Schuck looked speechlessly at Naughty Beta, and said, ¡°Besides, Holy Light Series and Demon ss skills probably can¡¯t be used at the same time, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, Holy Shock and Scorched Earth can only be used in Holy Light and Evil Power state. The other skills do not have these restrictions.
However, the actual effects can only be seen after practical operation.
Just then, a smirk crept onto Bai Qi¡¯s face. Scanning his three pets with his eyes, he said, ¡°Perfect timing, let¡¯s start the second intra-teampetition. Schuck, Beta, didn¡¯t you have a desire to fight? Let¡¯s treat it as a trial run.¡±
As Bai Qi finished his words, the three pets immediately showed great interest. Alpha on the side also had some thoughts, but barely pushed them back.
Alpha had already enjoyed the first round of enhancement resources, so he couldn¡¯t participate anymore. Moreover, with his King-level life strength, participating now would indeed be somewhat excessive.
¡°The rule is simple, one on one duel. The loser continues to fight with the other after recovery. In this way, we determine the order of subsequent resource usage. Any questions?¡±
Woof Woof!
(I¡¯m ready!)
Ka-poo Ka-poo.
(Gamma listens to master.)
Boo-lulu Boo-lulu.
(It¡¯s all okay with Delta.)
The three pets agreed in turn, Bai Qi called out to Nichs who was preparing dinner, and said, ¡°Nichs, I¡¯m borrowing your ce for a fight.¡±
Nichs waved his hand unconcernedly, ¡°Go ahead, just don¡¯t disturb my cooking.¡±
¡°Rest assured, it won¡¯t affect you.¡±
Bai Qi nodded solemnly, then took the four pets to an empty area outside the Jade Valley.
¡°First round, Schuck and Beta versus Gamma. Delta, you wait on the side.¡±
Looking at the three beast pets full of fighting spirit, Bai Qi made a little considerate and decided on the roster for the first round ofbat.
Boo-lulu Boo-lulu.
(Okay.)
Delta obediently nodded its head, while Schuck, Beta, and Gamma stepped onto the battlefield in preparation for battle.
¡°Alpha, you will serve as the referee. After all, this is an intra-team match, we must stick to the principle of ¡®touches granted as hits¡¯.¡±
Ka Ka.
(No problem.)
Alpha nodded, then pped its wings and flew into the sky. After confirming the condition of the twin pets, it snapped its fingers and a ball of fire exploded in mid-air.
(Battle, begin!)
Chapter 264 - 260: Anti-Gamma Armor
Chapter 264: Chapter 260: Anti-Gamma Armor
With amand from Alpha, Schuck initiated the attack. His densely packed turrets immediately unfolded andunched a bombardment.
However, it was no longer the simple Thunderme Cannon of the past.
Ice Cannon, Lightning Cannon, Windstorm Cannon¡
All sorts of peculiar attribute cannons were being disyed one by one under Schuck¡¯s control, each urately hitting Gamma¡¯s body.
After Bai Qi understood the principle of rune mechanicalyout, Schuck started an in-depth research and development process. Other than the Mind Helmet, these diverse cannons were one of the results.
Although Gamma¡¯s Elemental Resistance could resist the majority of elemental attacks, both the Mechanical Lord and the Mechanical Heart were Super Skills. The seemingly ordinary cannon attacks surprisingly caused considerable damage to Gamma due to the dual amplification of these two skills.
Though these damages were rather negligible for Gamma¡¯s abnormal constitution, it did not merely ignored them.
Clunk, clunk!
(Gamma is getting serious!)
The green me icon on the Twin-Life Contract flickered, causing the surroundingnd to instantly dry up and nearly transform into a scorched earth in an instant.
At the same time, Gamma turned into a horned demon, standing tall and straight on the scorched earth like a devil that had just returned from hell.
Moreover, his Deadly Poison Aura expanded naturally, and the green poisonous gas kept spreading under the scorching heat of the scorched earth. This gas surprisingly connected with the poisonous gas in the Green Dragon Secret Realm, continuously pulling it over.
Under the double erosion of the scorching heat of the scorched earth and the intense poison, the Etherium Liquid Gold-cast turrets gradually began to deform, and the surface runes also began to deform.
However, Schuck seemed to be prepared for this. The moment the poisonous gas spread, he used Etherium Liquid Gold to cover his whole body. Then, a turquoise rune instantly covered all the turrets. The turrets that were initially heated by the high temperature of the scorched earth began to cool down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rune: Low temperature.
After witnessing the terrifying heat of Alpha¡¯s Undying Fire, Schuck had already started to prepare corresponding countermeasures, and the Low- Temperature Rune was one of them.
Unexpectedly, these preparations were first used on Gamma.
However, it seemed that Gamma didn¡¯t n to rely solely on the passive skills of Scorched Earth and Deadly Poison Aura to win. The massive demon body suddenly elerated and charged towards Husky, causing the earth under his feet to continuously explode with green magma due to Gamma¡¯s run.
The Scorched Earth was a Super Skill and would naturally not have only high temperature. The changed surroundingnds were also one of its attacking methods.
Seeing Gamma getting closer, Schuck immediately created distance. The turret group originally firmly fixed on the ground suddenly extended wheels and retreated at an astonishing speed without any decrease in its attack.
Upon seeing this, Gamma seemed to abandon the pursuit. After jumping high into the air, he heavily mmed his right arm into the ground, and green mes gushed out of the ground at an astonishing speed, attacking Husky.
These mes were highly explosive and sudden, almost popping out from under Schuck¡¯s feet, leaving him no chance to dodge.
But just when the me was about to touch the turrets, the originally indestructible turrets suddenly opened up like liquid, allowing the green mes to pass through the holes precisely, and they didn¡¯t cause any damage to Schuck.
Woof, Woof!
(I¡¯m not one of those dumb targets who can be hit easily.)
With the help of the Mind Helmet, Beta almost gathered all the energy flow of Gamma and the surroundings in his mind, and Schuck used this data to urately calcte Gamma1 s attack behavior.
So, unless it could exceed Husky¡¯s calcting speed, it was absolutely impossible to hit them.
But Gamma seemed ignorant of this, and his Demon ss body roared furiously, hitting the ground at no regr intervals, then even shook his entire body, which shed countless Evil Energy me-burning child bodies that rushed towards Schuck.
Facing Gamma¡¯s violent attacks, although Husky could calcte the path of the attack, the Evil Energy mes had already covered them from all directions. Some turrets that couldn¡¯t be pulled back in time were instantly blown into fragments.
Then, Gamma changed his frenzy mode after breaking Schuck¡¯s attack rhythm. He seemed to stretch out his arm rubbery, grabbing Schuck¡¯s body and pulling himself in front of him. At the same time, hended a punch towards Schuck¡¯s head.
Boom!
Just when Gamma¡¯s attack was about to hit Schuck, Gamma¡¯s head suddenly burst open and the body which did not sustain any injury also began to weaken and fall down.
¡°Spirit st points quantity 1, st effect, Excellent.¡±
Woof, woof!
(When I take action, the effect is definitely excellent!)
Upon seeing Gamma temporarily losing control over his body, Schuck nodded in satisfaction. He then recalled the turret group, leaving only one giant turbine connected to his back.
Then the turbine abruptly elerated. All the scattered Evil Energy mes were sucked into the turbine, and green runes began to light up on Husky.
¡°Is that a rune from the ck Sky Meeh?¡±
Spotting this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. He immediately recognized that the runes on Husky¡¯s body were from the ck Sky Meeh.
Although it wasn¡¯t wholly identical, it was seventy to eighty percent simr.
After absorbing the Evil Energy, Husky stood upright, transforming into a double-headed werewolf. Ignoring the Evil Energy me on Gamma¡¯s surface, he thrust a w into Gamma¡¯s about-to-cohere body. Gamma¡¯s body blew up once again.
However, this time, instead of copsing to the ground as before, Gamma fluidly transformed into arge green, enveloping the double-headed werewolf. The Bloodsucking Aura was activated to its maximum, attempting to absorb the werewolf¡¯s energy.
Ka-boom! Ka-boom!
(Why can¡¯t Gamma absorb Schuck and Beta¡¯s energy?)
Gamma looked somewhat puzzled at the unharmed double-headed war wolf below, elerating the Energy Absorption. However, the energy absorbed was scanty.
¡°Although Energy Absorption does not limit the type of energy absorbed, if it encounters high-frequency fluctuating energy, the absorption efficiency will drastically reduce,¡±
A bolt of electricity shed in Schuck¡¯s eyes, releasing a surge of invisible vibrations from the wolf¡¯s w in his right hand. The awe-inspiring Spirit Power erupted again, scattering Gamma once more.
Double-headed War Wolf ¨C Anti-Gamma Meeh!
As the researcher and record keeper of the team, Schuck held all data about the team¡¯s pets and formted targeted ns ording to different attributes of the pets.
The Anti-Gamma Meeh was one of the results.
¡°High-frequency energy + Spirit Storm, Anti-Gamma Meeh? Schuck sure can think of such things¡±
Bai Qj grinned at the sight and turned to Alpha, who was floating nearby, saying, ¡°Alpha, do you reckon Schuck would¡¯ve also devised an Anti-Alpha Meeh?¡±
Clickity-ck.
(He probably has, but there¡¯s no difference)
¡°Hmm, Self-confidence is a good thing, but don¡¯t underestimate your opponent.¡±
Bai Qiughed. Although he didn¡¯t believe Schuck could research a beta that wouldbat Alpha, nothing was predictable. Perhaps one day Schuck might just achieve it.
Due to Beta¡¯s sessive Spirit Storms, Gamma could hardly cohere, but the heat released by Scorched Earth was getting higher. Even though the Anti-Gamma Meeh had Evil Energy protection and its built-in freezing system, gradually, it wasn¡¯t able to withstand it any longer.
Finally, with the continued high-temperature roasting, the runes on the body of the double-headed war wolf began to distort, with the Evil Energy being absorbed bit by bit by Gamma. Gamma¡¯s condition finally began to recover.
Seeing this, Schuck immediately made a decisive move, actively keeping a distance from Gamma and starting tounch Evil Energy Cannon strikes.
Unlike other elemental energies, Evil Energy damage inflicted on Gamma was genuine. Schuck naturally would not waste it.
However, it seemed that Gamma was conscious that Schuck targeted the Demon ss. After recuperating a portion of its energy, the lightning mark of the Twin ¨C Life Contract glowed suddenly. Its originally green body visibly turned pure white at a nce, and the surrounding Evil Energy gradually became the Power of Holy Light.
At the same time, Gamma¡¯s form started to transform. Its initially gigantic body gradually shrank, and a pair of massive wing-like appendages slowly extended from its back. It distinctly began to take an Angel-like form.
¡°One energy type, one form, huh. Transformation has truly be an internal tradition.¡±
Looking at Gamma, which was practically no different from a Judgement Angel, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips.
Initially, he liked to let Alpha change forms ording to the battle situation mainly because Alpha was too weak back then. Now, all pets had developed the habit of transforming, and there were hardly any that normally fought in their original forms.
¡°The instructors always emphasized that pets should havemon traits, not to contract recklessly. Does this count as amon aspect?¡±
Just as Bai Qi was voicing hisints, Gamma had already transformed into an Angel-like form. Its hands sped in front of its chest, a white sphere intertwined with white lightning gradually formed in Gamma¡¯s hands.
Seeing this, Schuck immediately stopped his Evil Energy Mortar attack. Under Schuck¡¯s control, four huge coils rapidly took form. With the shing of several streams of electricity, an invisible electromaic barrier formed.
Schuck was unsure of the move Gamma was about to use. However, from the energy level feedback from the system and the perception from Beta¡¯s Mind¡¯s Eye, this technique was incredibly powerful, and evidently couldn¡¯t be easily evaded.
Therefore, the best strategy was to defend.
Sure enough, the instant the electromaic barrier formed, the sphere in Gamma¡¯s hands turned into a massive column of light rushing toward Husky. Bang!
The Holy Shock instantly struck the electromaic barrier, causing ripples. Husky, within the barrier, swayed for a moment but forcibly stabilized.
However, Gamma quickly reacted. The energy gradually contracted until it was hardly distinguishable from the Holy Light Spear used by the BoGe family¡¯s Angels. The electromaic barrier, too, began to be unstable.
¡°The barrier¡¯s remaining time is 13 seconds, evacuate immediately.¡±
Schuck instantly calcted the time the electromaic barrier could be sustained. As he was about to evacuate,
Boom!
Suddenly, a devastating explosion urred in the field. With the speed of thunder, the intense shockwave swept toward Bai Qi.
Bloody hell, who just exploded?!
Chapter 265 - 261: Gamma Explodes
Chapter 265: Chapter 261: Gamma Explodes
The sudden explosion had taken Bai Qi by surprise, not giving him a chance to dodge.
Fortunately, Alpha was nearby and, in a few flickers, scooped up Bai Qi and Delta, quickly retreating.
The explosion had a far-reaching effect, the impact directly lending to Jade Valley, causing Nichs, who was immersed in preparing dinner, to interrupt his activity, revealing his true shape and running away.
¡°What¡¯s happened? Did those worms survive ande for revenge?¡±
Nichs gazed around vigntly, preparing his Jade Breath in case any suspicious creature showed up, ready to unleash his dragon breath on it.
¡°Cough, it¡¯s okay. It was just the aftershock caused by Gamma and Shuck Beta¡¯s battle.¡±
Via the pact, Bai Qi had already confirmed that the twin pets were okay, while Nichs appeared confused, looking at the giant hole in front of him as though it had been hit by an annihtion weapon, asking, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not here to tear down my house?¡±
¡°Absolutely not!¡±
Bai Qi vigorously shook his head in denial, then saw Husky carrying Gamma, who had be like colorless jelly due to shock, walking out of the explosion.
Seeing Husky in the same disarray, Nichs skillfully treated the twin pets with Jade Breath, then asked, ¡°What exactly happened?¡±
¡°Simply put, Gamma was having an energy imbnce due to the impact of Beta¡¯s Spirit Storm when he was absorbing the Holy Light Power, which led to an explosion, that¡¯s all.¡±
Shuck sinctly exined the reason for the explosion, leaving Bai Qi and Nichs exchanging baffled nces.
Energy imbnce causing an explosion during skill execution was understandable, but wasn¡¯t the explosion a bit excessive?
Further, weren¡¯t they a bit too calm facing an explosion of this scale?
Seeing their reactions, Shuckmented as he put Gamma down, ¡°Though the explosion was strong, we had some time to prepare. Beta sensed it early and ran faraway, so I wasn¡¯t badly hurt.¡±
¡°As for Gamma, if it weren¡¯t for his life-saving skill, he might have died.¡±
After listening to Shuck¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi¡¯s face turned serious.
He hadn¡¯t expected the Twin-Life Contract to have such a side effect. If Gamma hadn¡¯t shortened the cooldown period for Golden Cicada Shelling due to the Evolution Egg, wouldn¡¯t he have be an unexpected casualty?
It was too close a call.
But shouldn¡¯t the Twin-Life Contract be able to harmonize two attributes? Why did this situation ur?
With Nichs¡¯ help, Gamma finally recovered, blushing slightly as he saw Bai Qi and others surrounding him.
Ka-pu Ka-pu.
(Sorry Master, Gamma was distracted during the transformation, so¡.)
Distracted during transformation?
Was it Gamma¡¯s negligence that disturbed the bnce of the Twin-Life Contract leading to an explosion?
¡°Gamma, how about your Twin-Life Contract, is it still there?¡±
Gamma nodded, another Twin-Life Contract was formed within him, albeit significantly dimmer than before.
¡°So, it was not in a fixed state.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed with relief, ¡°Looks like we can¡¯t integrate the Light Spirit Holy Diamond immediately, let¡¯s wait until you learn energy control.¡±
From what it looked like, despite the Twin-Life Contract being able to harmonize two energies, if it was disturbed during the transformation, it might explode yet again.
To avoid dying from his own skill, it was necessary to give Gamma some special training.
Watching Gamma indulge in good times of energy recovery, Bai Qi suddenly caught on to something, ¡°Gamma, can your Twin-Life Contract only be formed in your main body?¡±
Ka-pu Ka-pu.
(Only the main body can contract, but Gamma can ce it in the sub-body, but the sub-body has no ability to maintain bnce.)
¡°Ah, I see¡¡±
Bai Qi understood as he heard Gamma¡¯s exnation, a sinister smile creeping on his face.
Ah¡.why?
(Why do I feel that the smile on this human¡¯s face looks familiar?)
¡°Using the Twin-Life Contract¡¯s instability and the sub-bodies as explosives? I suddenly understand why the main consciousness chose you to contract with.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s reaction, Shuck sighed helplessly, having already seen through Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts. As Beta also understood, he was dumbfounded.
Woof woof!
(Art, this is art!)
Ka-pu Ka-pu?
(Master, what are you talking about? Gamma doesn¡¯t understand?)
The concerned beast Gamma looked at Bai Qi and Beta with some confusion, not understanding their thoughts, so he simply bowed his head and continued eating.
The explosion just now had consumed all his energy, so he needed to regain it by eating a lot.
After all, including the energy in the Twin-Life Contract, he needed to eat three times the quantity he previously did.
¡°Anyways, the result of thispetition is out. Shuck Beta, you guys have won.¡±
Bai Qi patted Husky¡¯s head, announcing the result of the trial.
Whether it was Anti-Gamma armor at first or the electromaic field against the explosionter, everything was quite OK.
At least, it was far better than what Bai Qi had estimated initially.
Indeed, with adequate knowledge in Mechanical Engineering, any opponent could be taken down.
Woof woof!
(I won! Does that mean I can eat Mythical Resources now?)
¡°In theory, yes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, but Schuck immediately caught onto the subtle hint in his answer.
¡°What do you mean, in theory?¡±
Shrugging, Bai Qi said, ¡°The Thirteenth Bureau needs time to amass resources for your Spirit Type, so you can¡¯t use them for now.¡±
Howl¡
(So, does that mean I still can¡¯t eat it?)
Beta, once again, fell into a state of destion. The spirited mood from earlier vanishedpletely.
If he couldn¡¯t consume the resources immediately, why was he putting in so much effort? Might as well just lie down and rest.
¡°Don¡¯t rush to lie down, there¡¯s still another match to go.¡±
Bai Qi patted Beta¡¯s head, ¡°ording to the rules we just followed, the next match should have been between Gamma and Delta, but Gamma¡¯s current situation is a bit unusual, so you¡¯ll go against Delta.¡±
Woof woof!
(I think, that¡¯s unreasonable, and I do not want to move anymore.)
At that remark, Bai Qi was rendered speechless. He was about to chastise his cker pet when Nichs tugged at Bai Qi¡¯s clothes, pointing towards the devastated Jade Valley, ¡°Bai Qi, could you first help me solve this problem?¡± ¡°Problem? What problem?¡±
Bai Qi followed Nichs¡¯ pointing finger to see that the food Nichs was meticulously preparing was utterly destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion.
¡°The bossdy will be here soon. If she sees the dinner is gone¡¡±
Nichs looked at Bai Qi with a face full of despair. Bai Qi then realized the gravity of the situation, dropped the impending fight, and started helping Nichs prepare the food with the four pets.
¡°Huh? Such a big aftermath from the explosion. There is Holy Light and Evil Power. Nichs, when did you start meddling with this stuff?¡±
Old Lady Fan appeared in the Green Dragon¡¯s Secret Realm. The first thing she saw was the aftermath of Gamma¡¯s explosion, and she frowned slightly.
¡°Nothing. It was just the result of Gamma¡¯s battle a while ago.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and started exining what had happened.
¡°Using the Twin Star Core to merge Holy Light and Evil Power?¡±
After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s story, Old Lady Fan was somewhat speechless.
¡°Although Holy Light and Shadow areplete opposites, Evil Power is a chaotic element that neither side wants to touch. Yet you want to maintain bnce!¡±
Bai Qi meekly scratched his head and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t know about that. Granny Fan, do you have a safer way to solve this problem?¡±
Although Bai Qi had thought of several methods using the twin-life pact to operate, ensuring stability was essential.
¡°You¡¯ve already fused them. There¡¯s no way to separate them now.¡±
Old Lady Fan shookher head and said, ¡°But if you want to stabilize it, it¡¯s best not to maintain a single state for too long. Keeping an unattributed original state is best, otherwise if you impulsively change form, it could easily lead to an explosion.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi nodded; with the help of the twin-life pact, maintaining the unattributed condition was no problem. However, this meant that some skills wouldn¡¯t always be avable.
Yes, it would be good to n the skills that Gamma could use in different forms, so that he wouldn¡¯t face any problemster.
¡°Oh yes, you said Delta is alsopeting? Come on, Granny Fan is a bit bored today. Happy to cheer you on.¡±
With that, Old Lady Fan sat down in the void as if there was a chair. A formless void appeared to support her.
Oh, the Sky attribute Dragon race is sofortable.
Bai Qi looked at Old Lady Fan¡¯s smooth operation with some envy and then summoned Schuck and Beta.
ording to the rules Bai Qi had initially established, the battle was supposed to be between Gamma and Delta.
However, considering the current threat of Gamma, Bai Qi decided not to risk it.
With Old Lady Fan present, a repeat explosion would not have the same wide- ranging influence, but if Gamma was lost, it would be a significant loss.
¡°Schuck, Beta, are you sure you¡¯re both ready?¡±
During the previous battle, Schuck and Beta also took some damage. The advantage of mechanical types is that unless the core system is damaged, recovery is fast. Therefore, Schuck was basically fine. The only worry was Beta¡¯s spirit power recovery.
Woof woof!
(I had stored spirit power in advance; how could I have a problem?)
Alright then,pletely forgot about his little invention.
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, looked at the already pumped Delta, and said,
¡°In that case, let the second match begin!¡±
Ploop ploop!
(Then, Delta, my apologies.)
The now grown-up Earth-Travel-Dragon-sized Delta nodded at Schuck and Beta. Suddenly, his figure expanded, and transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon and flew to the sky. Soon after, a massive hurricane was summoned heading towards the Husky.
¡°Um, is it just me or has Delta¡¯s Wind God Winged Dragon grown bigger sincest time?¡±
Chapter 266 - 262: Violent Behemoth
Chapter 266: Chapter 262: Violent Behemoth
Looking at the Wind God Winged Dragon with wings spreadparable to that of Nichs, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, while Old Lady Fan immediately detected a different aura emitting from Delta.
¡°Did you feed Delta the Source of Life right now?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, saying, ¡°Yes.¡±
Bai Qi informed Old Lady Fan about Xiang Li¡¯s suggestion, which Old Lady Fan approved and said, ¡°This is indeed a path towards enhancement. If they cannot stably evolve, they should instead strengthen their life force. Xiang Li indeed has not wasted his years.¡±
¡°But, can Delta choose its evolution direction on its own now?¡±
Bai Qi replied, ¡°Currently, it can only choose among the ancient species, and
the number is limited.¡±
Bai Qi told Old Lady Fan about his previous attempts with ancient species, and in the middle of his exnation he couldn¡¯t help but give Old Lady Fan and Nichs a few more nces, with a particr thought suddenlying into mind.
Earlier, he guessed that the reason Delta couldn¡¯t retain the Raptor form could be because it did not extract the actual Gens. The alternative suggestion was that the time scale might not be long enough. But now, right in front of him were two legendary creatures that were robust and had a long history. If he didn¡¯t try it out, it would always feel a bit regretful.
Perhaps she sensed Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts as Old Lady Fan poked straight through his thoughts without any hesitation.
¡°While I am not sure the reason behind Delta¡¯s ability to do such a thing, it s better not to try fusing legendary creature genes arbitrarily.¡±
Old Lady Fan said, ¡°The legendary creatures are not simply at a higher double level, their essence of life fundamentally differs from yours. Even a single cell can be lethal to lower life forms like you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized. Indeed, apart from the legendary creatures, the lifespan of other creatures is not long ¨C those of legendary creatures often span thousands of years.
From his knowledge, the Federation¡¯s guardian beasts were mostly left to protect humanity after their respective Beast Masters died.
But, it was a pity that they couldn¡¯t turn into legendary creatures. Perhaps when Delta upgrades to King-level he could try it out?
While Bai Qi was pondering on the feasibility of this operation, the first skirmish between Delta and Husky already began.
Getting the boost from the Source of Life, not only did Delta¡¯s body erge, but even its ability to control hurricanes also intensified. As its huge wings pped, a massive hurricane that seemed as though it could destroy everything in its path charged directly towards Husky.
However, Schuck clearly had a n. Etherium Liquid Gold swiftly rotated and instantly formed a Caisson-like structure which started to extract air from around the hurricane with great force.
In the blink of an eye, the formidable hurricane began to weaken, despite Delta¡¯s attempts to maintain its strength.
¡°There¡¯s a tactic like that?¡±
Although he had limitedbat experience, Nichs had some understanding of different abilities from his inherited memory as the Green Dragon. But seeing Schuckbating a hurricane in this way was truly beyond hisprehension.
¡°Hurricanes are just a natural phenomenon caused by air pressure differentials. So Schuck can eliminate the hurricane by reducing the air pressure difference around the hurricane. After all,pared to hurricanes in nature, there¡¯s quite a gap,¡± Bai Qi exined just in time and Nichs finally understood.
¡°Saying it that way, isn¡¯t the power of your pet¡¯s mechanical creature a bit too excessive, Bai Qi? I remember beasts of this level being quite weak, at least, they wouldn¡¯t be able to interfere with elemental attacks, right?¡± Old Lady Fan asked as she looked at Husky, which obviously had too much kic energy.
¡°It¡¯s most likely due to the integration of the Mechanical Spark. Both Husky s energy characteristics andputational power have been enhanced.¡± Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, Old Lady Fan immediately understood. ¡°Gaining the Mechanical Spark this early on, your beasts really aren¡¯t simple ones.¡±
Old Lady Fan nodded slightly before refocusing on the fight. Realizing that Schuck was exploiting the hurricane, Delta instantly abandoned its n to harass Husky with the hurricane and fluttered its wings lightly. Its massive body immediately rushed towards the Caisson- like structure with a devastating speed. As it advanced, the space around it even started to show signs of distortion.
With Delta¡¯s elevation to the Four Stage, all its parameters significantly increased. Even though it hasn¡¯t awakened yet, the space attribute contained in Delta¡¯s Savage Charge was further reinforced.
Faced with Delta¡¯s space attribute attack, Schuck very brazenly abandoned the Caisson-like structure. The Caisson, already rotating at a high speed, began operating at supersonic speed. Instead of extracting the air around it again, but it suddenly transformed,unching a series of invisible airstrikes at Delta.
Air Cannon!
Husky hadn¡¯t released any of the air it sucked in earlier, but insteadpressed it all to form this invisible air cannon. Its power was no less than that of any other energy cannon.
¡°Schuck, this guy, has really put a lot of thought into changing hisbat style.¡±
Watching the versatile Schuck, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but think of Schuck¡¯s previous barrage of mindless Thunderme Cannons.
Although the firepower wasn¡¯t as exaggeratedly widespread as the Thunderme Cannons, the diversity of mechanical constructs truly gave Schuck a straight boost in overallbat power.
Facing these superpressed high-density air masses, the Wind God Winged Dragon¡¯s ability to control hurricanes had little effect. But Delta did not panic at all. His massive body suddenly shrank and turned directly into a Diamond Ape. He skillfully dodged the numerous air shells flying around, and in an instant, came to the air pump and shed it from the side.
Boom!
The attack, carrying the force of Giant Strength and Space Fluctuations, directly crushed the air pump into pieces, causing a massive explosion. The shockwave fell on the golden shell of the Diamond Ape¡¯s body, but failed to cause even the slightest of damage.
Moreover, after sessfully neutralizing the threat of the air pump, Delta leapt forward,unching another attack towards the Husky.
However, Delta¡¯s move was clearly within Husky¡¯s expectations. While Delta was mid-air, Beta roared towards the sky. Amplified by the Mind Helmet, his Demonic Roar fiercely attacked Delta.
Because there was no Intimidation skill to counter it, Delta¡¯s mid-air maneuver was noticeably affected. Although hended safely, he failed to urately hit the Husky.
During this brief amount of time, Schuck had already set up his turret again. One by one, ck physical cannonballsnded around Delta without causing any explosion. However, the Diamond Ape that Delta had turned into seemed to be suppressed by some form of invisible force, causing him to suddenly fall to the ground.
Then, Schuck shook his entire body, and a swarm of self-exploding wolves rushed up, pounced on Delta, and triggered their explosion. Delta¡¯s massive body was instantly engulfed in the fiery light.
¡°Gravity bomb?¡±
Bai Qi recognized the runes engraved on the shell of the cannons at a nce and was increasingly satisfied with Schuck¡¯s performance.
A diversified fighting style was indeed the strength of the Mechanical Engineering Department. However, most mechs needed to be set up in advance, whereas Schuck had the ability to spontaneously alter his form based on the situation.
Choosing to exchange Etherium Liquid Gold for Schuck was indeed the right decision!
¡°Delta is about towin.¡±
At that instant, Old Lady Fan suddenly spoke, startling Bai Qi with her im. Since the beginning of the battle, Schuck and Beta had been suppressing Delta, so Old Lady Fan¡¯s statement that Delta was about to win was indeed a bit hard for Bai Qi toprehend.
Creak creak.
(Delta¡¯s aura is starting to change. If Schuck and Beta don¡¯t have a way to counteract it, they might actually lose.)
Hearing Alpha also speak like this, Bai Qi finally believed that Old Lady Fan wasn¡¯t joking around. Beta, who was Delta¡¯s opponent, also seemed to sense something and promptly warned Schuck.
¡°Prepare the Thunder and me Electromaic Cannon, 50% power.¡± Schuck immediately changed his attack method upon seeing this. A disproportionately long Electromaic Cannon unfolded instantly, while at the end of the cannon, a bit of Thunder me Power was slowly being filled in. At the same time, Delta, who had been suppressed by the Gravity Bombs, seemed to have his ferocity, which wasn¡¯t usually part of his character, ignited. He let out a fierce roar and the already massive body of the Diamond Ape expanded again. The body which had been slightly bent from the gravity suppression straightened up again.
Looking at the Gravity Bombs that were still pulling on him, Delta stomped on the ground multiple times. He ttened all the bombs and then used the strength of his legs to leap. The ground underneath him instantly cracked, and his colossal figure turned into a shadow that charged straight towards Husky. The self-exploding wolves that were biting at him were crushed into fragments by the sudden eleration and air pressure.
However, at that very moment, Schuck Beta¡¯s Electromaic Cannon had finished charging. A dense thunder me energy, which had be almost physical, flew out of the cannon and headed straight towards Delta, while Husky was forced back several dozens of meters due to the enormous recoil.
Boom!
The Thunderme Energy urately hit Delta. The defense of the Diamond Ape¡¯s bodysted only a moment before shattering. However, when it was about to touch Delta¡¯s body, it was blocked by some invisible fluctuation.
¡°Is this¡ defense formed from Space Power?¡±
Delta¡¯s ability to control space to create a defense showed that his control over space had significantly improved. No wonder Xiang Li rmended Source of Life so highly. Not just the basic data, but also the nature of life seems to have enhanced.
Though Delta managed to block the impact of the Thunderme Energy, facing such highlypressed immense energy, he had to continually retreat. Seeing this, Beta took advantage of the situation and tried to disrupt Delta¡¯s movements using Spirit Storm.
However, the present Delta¡¯s mind was full of the frenzied consciousness of the Diamond Ape causing Beta¡¯s Spirit Storm to not only fail in disturbing Delta but made him even more frenzied.
Roar!
Apanying the roar, Delta used both his arms simultaneously to force the Thunderme Energy into the air.
¡°Can he manipte Space Power without using Dash, has Delta already used his awakening skill?¡±
Watching Delta, who seemed to have revived from the Ancient Violent Ape, an idea emerged in Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
Chapter 267 - 263: Void Echo
Chapter 267: Chapter 263: Void Echo
You¡¯re overthinking it.¡±
Old Lady Fan rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Comprehending spatial power isn¡¯t as easy as you think. Delta only further developed its potential and increased its affinity with the void.¡±
¡°Not awakened, huh.¡±
A regretful sigh escaped Bai Qi¡¯s lips, but the thought of increased affinity with the void lifted his spirits quite a bit.
No matter what attribute it was, affinity was crucial. The higher the affinity, the stronger the effectiveness of the skill.
Perhaps when Delta awakened its skills again, it could even gain stronger abilities.
¡°Spatial attributes sure are tricky¡¡±
Seeing that all their methods were ineffective, Schuck seemed helpless, but he immediately prepared for the second shot of Thunderme Cannon.
After witnessing Delta withstand an attack of fifty percent power, Schuck had already started to prepare for his next attack. This time, it would not just be fifty percent power, but it had been cranked up directly to one hundred percent. Fifty percent didn¡¯t even scratch the surface, so only one hundred percent could potentially cause damage.
Delta seemed to have sensed the difference in this attack too. It was enveloped by the evolution light once again. A unicorn whale,rger than Nichs appeared in the secret realm.
It was, in fact, the Dragon Horned Whale, a form that Bai Qi had not yet tried. Seeing the Thunderme Cannon that was about to hit it, the Dragon Horned Whale opened its mouth wide. It emitted a silent roar, and Bai Qi suddenly felt as if he had arrived in the deep sea with an invisible undercurrent rushing towards him.
An undercurrent?
Could it be used even without water?
Watching the Thunderme Cannon suddenly shattered by an invisible force Bai Qi could only manage silence. Schuck Beta detected it too, cranked the power on full, and desperately tried to widen the distance between him and the Dragon Horned Whale.
Woof woof!
(I¡¯ve decided that I will never eat fish again in the future. It¡¯s too scary!) Stop talking and run! If you get hit, getting injured will be the least of your worries.¡±
Schuck nced at the spatial fluctuations that were rapidly approaching behind him. A pair of metal wings stretched out from his back. He infused the power of Thunderme into them, which transformed into a strong thrust, elerating him forward.
¡°Alpha, go help out.¡±
In the face of the terrifying aftermath of Delta¡¯s attack, Bai Qi immediately asked Alpha to rescue them.
But the moment Alpha moved, Old Lady Fan was one step ahead. Coming next to Husky, she waved her right hand slightly, and the invisible spatial fluctuations disappeared without a trace.
¡°To make the spatial ripples of this degree, Delta¡¯s spatial talent is higher than I thought.¡±
Old Lady Fan nodded approvingly and reached out to the void. Delta which had fainted due to energy exhaustion and had returned to its original form appeared in her hands.
¡°Let Delta maintain the form of the ancient species for more activities in the future. It would be very helpful for his willpower.¡±
Old Lady Fan handed Delta over to Alpha and then looked at Bai Qi. ¡°Do you still have the Space Crystal Stone I gave you?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and immediately took out the Space Crystal Stone. With just a slight beckoning from Old Lady Fan, the Space Crystal Stone appeared in her hand.
¡°I¡¯m in a good mood today, so I¡¯ll help you out.¡±
With that, the Space Crystal Stone in Old Lady Fan¡¯s hand turned into a silver- grey liquid. Under Old Lady Fan¡¯s control, it slowly prated Delta¡¯s body Alpha, who had been holding Delta, suddenly felt a lightness in his grasp as he could no longer feel Delta¡¯s weight.
¡°Delta currently still has a high affinity with the void, so now is the best time to absorb the Space Crystal Stone. If it¡¯s fortunate, there¡¯s a chance it couldprehend a super skill.¡±
Old Lady Fan yawned, ¡°I¡¯m getting sleepy, I¡¯m going to go back to sleep.¡± Having said that, Old Lady Fan tore open a space crack and returned to the breeding field.
¡°Nichs, bring me double the breakfast tomorrow, you know the consequences if you forget.¡±
Hearing the words that came from the space crack, Nichs looked aggrieved.
It was Bai Qi who had messed up dinner, so why was he the one having to shoulder the me?
I, the dragon, do not ept this!
Unfortunately, none of the attention from Bai Qi or the three pets who were the cause of all this was on Nichs¡¯s face. They were all standing around Delta discussing Delta.
¡°What do you think, should I put a Golden Egg on Delta?¡±
¡°Based on my assessment, there¡¯s a ny-eight percent chance that rashly changing Delta¡¯s condition will result in failure toprehend the skill. So, I wouldn¡¯t rmend using it.¡±
Croak croak.
(I also think we shouldn¡¯t act rashly. Delta¡¯s current state is stable, there
should be no problem.)
Coo coo.
(Hmm, Gamma thinks Alpha and Schuck have a point.)
After hearing the opinions of the three pets, Bai Qi also temporarily held back the idea of using the Golden Egg, though he still wasn¡¯t quite used to it.
Ever since he became a Beast Master, this was the first time his pet had absorbed materials without the Evolution Egg, especially considering it was a mythical resource. He was still somewhat unused to it.
However, spatial abilities do seem a bit overpowered.¡±
Thinking that Delta could stir up such massive spatial ripples just by leveraging the massive force of the Dragon Horned Whale and its minute affinity with the void, Bai Qi¡¯s heart surged with excitement.
When Delta woke up, the Ancestral Beast that was originally looked down upon because it was not able to evolve, would undergo aplete transformation.
ncing at the still-sleeping Delta, Bai Qi turned to look at the Husky and Gamma, saying, ¡°So the rankings of this intra-teampetition have basically been settled. Delta is in the first ce, Schuck Beta is in the second, and Gamma is in the third. Any objections?¡±
¡°No objections, I don¡¯t currently have the means to counter this level of space skills.¡±??????????????????????????????? r
Ka-Poop Ka-Poop.
(Same goes for Gamma. Gamma hasn¡¯t obtained resistance to space and physical traits, therefore it couldn¡¯t beat Delta.)
Bai Qi said: ¡°Perfet, the spiritual materials for Schuck Beta will take some time to gather. So you guys should train hard. In particr, Gamma, do not self-detonate again.¡±
Ka-Poop Ka-Poop.
(Gamma will work hard!)
Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily. Just as he about to give a thought education lesson to his pets, Nichs from his background suddenly tugged on Bai Qi¡¯s clothes saying: ¡°Eh, Bai Qi, weren¡¯t you supposed to help me tidy up first?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback. Shortly after, he discovered his surroundings were littered with the aftermath of two battles.
¡°Cough cough¡my mistake, my mistake¡¡±
Bai Qi shrank his neck in frustration. Regardless of Gamma¡¯s self-detonation, Schuck Beta¡¯s Thunder and me Electromaic Cannon, or the spatial ripples caused by the Whales¡¯ Space Form under Delta all caused considerable damage to the Green Dragon Secret Realm. The Jade Valley nearest to the battlefield was the first to bear the brunt.
Considering the looks of it, finding a training ground for the four pets would be a real headache, as Bai Qi¡¯s portable secret realm could not withstand such destruction caused by the four pets.
With the efforts of Nichs and the three pets, the environment around the Jade Valley was mostly restored. However, due to the extreme energy wash of Holy Light and Evil Power, it would take some time to fully restore the vegetation.
Thunk¡
Right when Bai Qi was instructing Gamma to absorb the residual energy in the earth, a cracking sound suddenly came from around Delta. Bai Qi immediately turned his head to look, only to find that the space around Delta was breaking. ¡°Is this an awakening sess?¡±
Bai Qi was curious and wanted to take a closer look, but he was stopped by Alpha. Even Schuck Beta moved away from Delta, narrowly avoiding a spatial rift.
¡°Hasn¡¯t Delta awakened yet?¡±
Looking at the clearly uncontrolled and rampantly spreading space rifts, Bai Qi frowned.
Indeed, any evolution not led by Evolution Egg would be significantly riskier. It seemed he couldn¡¯t afford to bezy in the future.
Luckily, Delta woke up just in time. The spatial rifts disappeared as if they had never existed.
¡°Delta, how do you feel?¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately asked. After a short silence, Delta responded.
Blurb blurb.
(It feels great, it¡¯s veryfortable, like being in water all the time.)
Like being in water? He probably meant the Void. It seemed that Delta had a high degree of affinity for the Void.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi put his hand on Delta¡¯s head and started to examine Delta¡¯s condition.

Indeed, after absorbing a bunch of space crystal fragments and space crystal stones, the Savage Charge skill actually evolved into a space skill. Bai Qi hadn¡¯t expected the skill to have such versatility.
¡°Delta, try to use the Void Echo.¡±
Bai Qi eagerly asked Delta to test the new skill. Delta responded obediently with a nod and charged into the nearby mountainside.
¡°Wait, that¡¯s¡¡±
Nichs wanted to stop him, but with a sound that was like the shattering of a mirror, the void suddenly broke open in front of Delta. Fine cracks spread rapidly, the enormous mountain had no room to resist in front of these cracks and shattered instantly.
Oh my god! Was the power so terrifying just from one dash?!
Bai Qi was stunned and his jaw dropped. But watching the resentful Nichs on the side, he realized what Delta had just run into.
Jade Valley¡copsed¡
Chapter 268 - 264: Returning to Gusu City (Extra
Chapter 268: Chapter 264: Returning to Gusu City (Extra
Update)
¡°Phew- I¡¯m dead tired.¡±
Bai Qi,pletely exhausted, copsed on the ground without any grace. Looking around at the Jade Valley, which was barely restored to its original state, he said, ¡°Given this situation, we can only carry out some basic training at the base in the future.¡±
Creaky creak.
(Boss, I don¡¯t think this is very realistic.)
Alpha ruthlessly shattered Bai Qi¡¯s illusion. Before Bai Qi could even struggle, Schuck directly threw a data sheet in front of him.
¡°Based on the data we have collected so far, our regr data has already exceeded the limits of the training and battlefields. Unless I can get my hands on Endless Material Science and Ultimate Engineering to redesign them, the only solution is for you, Beast Master, to find another durable Secret Realm for training.¡±
¡°A durable Secret Realm?¡±
The name ¡®Tower of Competition¡¯ suddenly shed in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, but it was quickly dismissed.
As a Secret Realm Tower that has been inherited by the association for many years, the Tower of Competition has been transformed by countless generations to its current scale. It¡¯s not realistic to expect to find another Secret Realm Tower like it.
¡°By the way, Delta, can your Void Echo create a separate mini-world? Don¡¯t all Spatial Divine Beasts carry their own mini-worlds?¡±
Realizing that the Tower of Competition was out of the question, Bai Qi turned his hopes towards Delta.
Blub blub.
(I¡¯m sorry, Master, Delta doesn¡¯t have that ability yet.)
Delta looked apologetically at Bai Qi. Despite quietly trying for a while, it still couldn¡¯t aplish it.
Although Void Echo was aprehensive skill with strong capabilities, it still had a significant gappared to Spatial Divine Beasts that could create an independent space at will.
¡°No worries, I¡¯ll ask Old Qin and my teacher if they can help me switch to a new Secret Realm.¡±
After resting for a while, Bai Qi finally recovered. Seeing Nichs, who was still busily preparing breakfast for Old Lady Fan, he said, ¡°I should be leaving, and I¡¯lle to see you again after a while.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Nichs immediately put down his kitchen utensils, looking remorsefully at Bai Qi. After struggling for a moment, he said, ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t need this dragon to apany you?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged,ughing, ¡°Even if I agreed, I doubt President Qin and Old Lady Fan would let you leave with me.¡±
Traveling all over with a legendary creature in tow, let alone the association¡¯s agreement, probably the Thirteenth Bureau would assign people to keep an eye on him all the time too.
After all, a college student wandering around with an immature Legendary Giant Dragon was a far greater threat than a core annihtion weapon.
¡°Alright then, just remember to visit this dragon more often, otherwise I might get bored.¡±
Nichs reluctantly nodded his head, then buried himself in his food preparations again.
Does this look like boredom?
Who¡¯s he trying to fool?
Bai Qi rolled his eyes speechlessly, then took the initiative to leave the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Considering the evolution, battles, and subsequent battlefield cleanup, Bai Qi had spent an entire day in the Green Dragon Secret Realm. He just happened to run into the groups led by Xiao Yuan and Wang Huai, who were chatting andughing as they approached from afar.
¡°Huh? Bai Qi, did you juste out of the Green Dragon Secret Realm?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi appear, Xiao Yuan immediately guessed Bai Qi¡¯s previous destination. Tang Miao was instantly interested, saying, ¡°I heard Bai Yuxiao say that you found a Legendary Giant Dragon in the Secret Realm and became good friends with it. Is that true? Could you take me there to meet it?¡±
Why does this guy have such a big mouth¡
Bai Qi speechlessly red at Bai Yuxiao, who had a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face. He said, ¡°I suppose you could call us friends. But he doesn¡¯t like to meet strangers, so¡¡±
Looking a little disappointed, Tang Miao lowered his head and said, ¡°Alright then. The Mountain Giant that King Legendary found in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm is the same. Are all these legendary creatures so aloof?¡±
Mountains Giant? So the Thirteenth Bureau did trick it out, didn¡¯t they?
Hearing this, Bai Qi realized what was going on, then shifted the topic, ¡°Captain Wang, are you guys nning to go out?¡±
Wang Huai nodded, ¡°We¡¯ve been troubling Xiao Yuantely to take us around the vicinity. We were just about to go out for a stroll. Do you want toe along, Bai Qi?¡±
¡°Not me. I need to go say hello to President Qin first, and then it¡¯s back to Gusu City.¡±
His experiences at the headquarters over the past few months had been rich and varied, and his pets had made substantial progress. But his course work at the Meeh Department had also fallen a bit behind, so Bai Qi thought he should catch up.
Don¡¯t ask why he was working so hard when he had Schuck, a super intelligence. It was just a bout of stubbornness from a Meeh Master.
After all, there were some things that couldn¡¯t be mastered simply by relying on the mechanistic diagrams provided by the Thirteenth Bureau.
¡°You¡¯re already returning to Gusu City?¡±
Xiao Yuan looked at Bai Qi somewhat surprised. Although the second phase of training had ended and the instructors were no longer teaching, the majority of trainees had chosen to stay here and hadn¡¯t left yet.
After all, not every ce could offer the same superior cultivation conditions as the headquarters.
¡°Yeah.¡±
Bai Qi turned to BaiQiucha in the group, ¡°Cha, are you going back too?¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, ¡°I can go. Dad also wants me to participate in normal university life, so it¡¯s better to go back earlier.¡±
¡°If you¡¯re both leaving, won¡¯t there be no one left to challenge me? That¡¯s so boring¡¡±
Seeing both of them leaving, Zhou Yan suddenly became a bit listless.
¡°What about Gu Shan? I heard Gu Shan nned to join the Tower of Competition, right?¡±
Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Shan, who silently nodded, ¡°Master Bai of the Tower visited me yesterday, and I agreed.¡±
Although Gu Shan¡¯s performance was not as dazzling as Bai Qi¡¯s, his dual talent had high potential. With proper nurturing, his future prospect was limitless.
¡°Tsk¡you agreed to my dad¡¯s invitation, take care of yourself.¡±
Upon hearing what Gu Shan said, sympathy surfaced on Bai Yuxiao¡¯s face.
It was clear how difficult Gu Shan¡¯s uing days would be under the control of the battle maniac, his father. However, the massive improvement in his abilities would be guaranteed.
¡°Congrattions on your sessful admission to the Six Tower.¡±
Bai Qi ignored what Bai Yuxiao said and congratted Gu Shan, who nodded in response.
¡°Bai Qi, has any tower master invited you?¡±
The mention of an invitation from the Six Tower reminded Zhou Yan of something. He suddenly looked at Bai Qi, so did Wang Huai and others, who were also curious.
¡°Someone did invite me before. But recently, aside from Master Xiang of the Tower, no one else has.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged. Considering the rtiveck of freedom in the Six Tower, he wasn¡¯t enthusiastic about joining. He didn¡¯t mind if the tower masters gave up on inviting him further. Otherwise, he would have had to figure out how to reject them.
¡°Perhaps they¡¯re considering BaiChuanqi¡¯sopinions. After all, Bai Qi, you¡¯re Bai Chuanqi¡¯s apprentice now. You should consult his opinion about joining the Six Tower.¡±
After contemting for a while, Xiao Yuan gave a reasonable exnation. Everyone else nodded in agreement and no longer found it strange.
With Bai Qi¡¯s stunning performance in the grandpetition, he certainly would be a hot target for invitations from the Six Tower. It would be abnormal if nobody invited him. However, with Bai Chuanqi involved, it made sense.
¡°You guys hang out. I will go find President Qin first.¡±
Bai Qi waved at the crowd and headed straight for the Tower of Knowledge. Bai Qiucha also left the group and followed Bai Qi.
Watching the two leave, Wang Huai went silent for a while, ¡°We have disturbed you guys long enough. We should go back for training. Thank you for your hospitality.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t mention it, we only did our part as hosts.¡±
Xiao Yuan wasn¡¯t surprised to see this situation. Considering Bai Qi was already so strong yet still so diligent, they really had no reason to continue their leisure time.
The Tower of Knowledge.
After several days of joint efforts in decoding, the rune structure of the White Meeh had been basically deciphered. However, the method used by the Law Emperor to bind the souls of fierce beasts remained undiscovered. It was as if these souls were originally born from the mech itself.
¡°It seems that we can¡¯t reproduce the technology of that era by simply relying on one White Mech. We have to wait for the feedback from the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
Lan Ke frowned slightly. After ncing at the Mech in front of her, she turned to Xiao Ding, ¡°Master Xiao, we leave the subsequent manufacturing issues to you and the Moon Night Tower. There shouldn¡¯t be any problem, right?¡±
Xiao Ding nodded, ¡°The basic design drafts are already out. Once the sample machine is sessful, I will contact you all.¡±
Lan Ke slightly nodded and then smiled at a group of Rune Masters and supportive masters, ¡°Thank you all for your hard work during these days.¡±
¡°All we did was for a stable life for the human beings. There¡¯s no need to say thanks.¡±
President Qin waved his hand, ¡°I have been away for a while now. It¡¯s time for me to go back. Who knows what mess there might be.¡±
Everyone chuckled, their faces showing rxation and pleasure.
Sessfully analyzing the White Mech containing the essence of the runes from the Era of Law Emperor was a significant achievement for them. If they took the time to digest it, their proficiency in runes would surely improve a lot.
¡°Huh? Why is everyone here?¡±
At this moment, Bai Qi walked in from outside. Seeing the cheerful crowd, he looked a bit puzzled.
¡°You are a member of the decoding team. Can¡¯t you keep track of its progress?¡±
Looking at Bai Qi¡¯s baffled face, President Qin rolled his eyes, ¡°The decoding process is alreadyplete. We are all going home.¡±
¡°The decoding isplete? So, did you find the method to bind the souls of fierce beasts?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes gleamed, and his mind was consumed with the desire for knowledge.
¡°No, we didn¡¯t. Perhaps the method is still hidden in the Secret Realm of Law Emperor.¡±
Professor Dong shook his head, his face showing a hint of regret.
¡°The Secret Realm of Law Emperor, huh¡¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi came back to his senses. Thinking about Heibai, who had taken the Secret Realm and disappeared, he felt a sense of hopelessness.
¡°By the way, Bai Qi, the grandpetition is over. You should be going back to Gusu City, right? Why not go with me.¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Now you are a Four Stage Beast Master. You must help me handle some association affairs once we are home.¡±
Bai Qi grimaced, ¡°President, I¡¯m still a student. It isn¡¯t good foryou to do this.¡±
President Qin, ¡°You are already of age. It does not vite Federation¡¯sw.¡±
Bai Qi puckered his lips andined silently in his heart.
Once back, he would definitely avoid the association unless absolutely necessary. He wondered what Old Qin could do to him.
Chapter 269 - 265: Let’s Call It Garulu-
Chapter 269: Chapter 265: Let¡¯s Call It Garulu-
Gusu City.
Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi andpany gradually disembarked from the aircraft. As they looked at the familiar city around them, a sense offort arose in their hearts.
This was the first time they had traveled so far since arriving in this world. ¡°Alright, no need to get emotional here. Hurry back and rest for a couple of days before reporting to school. You have a lot of things on your te,¡± President Qin said. He kicked Bai Qi without any formality, ¡°Once everything is sorted out at the school, return to the association and help out immediately.
¡°Okay¡¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He then took a Green Leaf Ball from his pocket and handed it to President Qin, ¡°President, you once mentioned that one of your contract slots was damaged, right? This Green Leaf Ball is my newest product.
You can try it.¡±
¡°Green Leaf Ball? When did youe up with this?¡±
President Qin raised his eyebrows, unreservedly epted the Green Leaf Ball, and said, ¡°Then I won¡¯t hold back.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, then looked to Bai Qiucha, who was standing beside him,
¡°Cha, are you going home first?¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, ¡°My admission procedures were handled by the
housekeeper. I need to go home first.¡±
Oh, how envious. Having a housekeeper to handle affairs makes things much easier.
Bai Qi, smacking his lips, said, ¡°Then let¡¯s meet at the academy.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, then summoned her Bone Dragon and headed straight for
the vi.
Watching Bai Qiucha leave, Bai Qi then looked at Professor Dong, ¡°Professor
Dong, would you like me to take you home?
Professor Dong shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve been on the aircraft for quite a while. I¡¯d like to move around, so don¡¯t trouble yourself.
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Although Professor Dong seemed frail, he was a Beast Master after all. This little journey could not pose a problem to him.
¡°By the way, Bai Qi, after checking in with Old Chu, remember to go to the Undead Department. They¡¯ve got some matters that require your personal attention.¡±
¡°Undead Department?¡±
Bai Qi was startled but quickly nodded, ¡°I will remember to go.
Professor Dong nodded lightly, then slowly walked off in the direction of the
Star Mechanics Academy.
¡°There¡¯s nothing to do at home anyway. Let¡¯s go to the Elf House first.¡± Bai Qi looked at the time and didn¡¯t rush home, he summoned Delta who transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon and headed straight for the Elf
House.
Last time, he said he should bring him a gift. Now, he could go give him a surprise.
Elf House.
With the promotion of Rune Evolution and Rune Tier 2 Evolution, the Undead Department in Gusu City developed exceedingly fast. As the designated destination for the Undead and Rune Evolution Special Team, the business at Elf House was booming too.
¡°Damn, they expanded again?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the noticeably bigger Elf House, his face full of surprise.
It makes sense that he could share so many Federal Coins each month. The profit from Rune Evolution was incredibly rich.
Bai Qi smacked his lips and navigated through the crowded crowd to enter the
Elf House.
The recently expanded Elf House now featured an exclusive Undead area, taking up arger space than before. However, it didn¡¯t appear gloomy at all, showing the amount of effort put into the decorations.
Meanwhile in the front, Zhuge Chen, the son of the chairman, was bustling about with the other shop assistants.
¡°This fellow really can¡¯t ck off.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly. He pulled out his phone and dialed Zhuge Chen¡¯s number. Once Zhuge Chen noticed him gave a wave, he proceeded towards Zhuge Chen¡¯s office like he had it all figured out.
Despite working as a shop assistant most of the time, Zhuge Chen still had his own office¡ª though he hardly used it.
¡°Aren¡¯t you still in training? Howe you¡¯re suddenly back in Gusu City?¡± Zhuge Chen left his work to a shop assistant and ran to catch up with Bai Qi. He asked curiously.
¡°Still in training, but there¡¯s no need to stay at headquarters, so I came back.¡± This somewhat enlightened Zhuge Chen. Seeing the four Rune Marks on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s hand, he eximed, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re already on the Four Stage.¡±
¡°Yes, the training was effective, and the progress has been decent.¡± Bai Qi nodded, while Zhuge Chen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes, saying, ¡°Progressing from the Second Stage to the Fourth in just over two months is decent? You¡¯re floating.¡±
¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±
Bai Qi gave a cheesy smile, ¡°By the way, I brought you a gift. You will definitely love it.¡±
¡°What gift? Another one of your inventions?¡±
Zhuge Chen was quite curious upon hearing this, even though Bai Qi had mentioned the gift earlier, but recently he was so busy that he hadpletely put it out of his mind.
¡°Consider it one of my inventions, and it will be released throughout the
Federation soon.¡±
Bai Qi took out the Green Leaf Ball and handed it to Zhuge Chen, stating, ¡°This is the Spirit-Control Orb, which allows a person without a Talent to form a contract with a beast. But for now, it cannot be used for mutual
improvement¡¡±
Under Zhuge Chen¡¯s baffled gaze, Bai Qi exined the function of the Spirit- Control Orb to him briefly. After he finished speaking, Zhuge Chen¡¯s face was full of bitter smiles.
¡°You really didn¡¯t have to go to this trouble, even though I didn¡¯t awaken a Talent, I¡¯m still happily coexisting with beasts, whether or not I form a contract with them no longer matters.¡±
¡°Are you sure?¡±
Seeing the skeptical look on Zhuge Chen¡¯s face, Bai Qi pursed his lips, saying, ¡°Come, try pouring your Spirit Power into it first, then you will know after trying it with a familiar beast.¡±
¡°Well, alright then,¡±
Zhuge Chen saw that Bai Qi was so insistent, he could not reject Bai Qi¡¯s proposal and thus followed thetter¡¯s guide to pour his Spirit Power into the Green Leaf Ball.
¡°This¡ this thing can store Spirit Power?¡±
Even though Zhuge Chen did not awaken his Talent, he would umte Spirit Power through meditation in his daily life. After this trial, he noticed the difference of the Green Leaf Ball.
¡°That¡¯s not important, there¡¯s an even bigger surpriseing.¡± Bai Qi smiled and patiently waited for Zhuge Chen to fill up the Spirit Power storage of the Green Leaf Ball. Afterwards, he went with Zhuge Chen to the breeding area of the Elf House.
Like the shops in the front, the breeding area of the Elf House had also substantially expanded, but the area specifically for dogs didn¡¯t change.
¡°Have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to choose the Arctic Ice Wolf?¡±
Looking at the Arctic Ice Wolf affectionately nuzzling against Zhuge Chen¡¯s feet, Bai Qi confirmed his choice once more.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the beasts contracted with the Spirit-Control Orb need to gradually develop good feelings? This little fellow¡¯s daily life and eating habits are basically all taken care of by me, nothing could be more suitable.¡± Because of the storage of Spirit Power, Zhuge Chen trusted Bai Qi¡¯s words slightly more, which led to him choosing the Arctic Ice Wolf he was most familiar with, thereby reducing the difficulty for Bai Qi.
Otherwise, if the attempt failed, Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t be able to save face.
¡°That works too. It will also be a good opportunity tomunicate with Schuck
and Beta.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi didn¡¯t say more, ¡°Just knock the Green Leaf Ball on its head, don¡¯t worry about anything else.¡±
¡°Just like this?¡±
Zhuge Chen lightly tapped the Arctic Ice Wolf with the Green Leaf Ball, the Rune Mark within was instantly activated, quickly branding on the wolf¡¯s head, establishing a Spirit Channel between Zhuge Chen and the Arctic Ice Wolf.
¡°This¡ this¡ Did I really form a contract with the Arctic Ice Wolf?
Feeling the strange voice emerging in his mind, Zhuge Chen¡¯s face waspletely covered with surprise. But before he could be amazed for too long, a green light beam shot out from the Green Leaf Ball, causing it to promptly wrap up the Arctic Ice Wolf. The Ice Wolf was then directly swallowed into the Green Leaf Ball, and the rune on the Green Leaf Ball dimmed again, falling to the ground motionless.
¡°Bai Qi, where¡¯s my Arctic Ice Wolf? Did something go wrong?¡±
Upon seeing the disappearance of the Arctic Ice Wolf, Zhuge Chen couldn¡¯t help but panic.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just temporarily transferred to another ce. Just reactivate the Green Leaf Ball, it should be released.¡±
Bai Qi picked up the Green Leaf Ball and put it into Zhuge Chen¡¯s hand, who then hurriedly applied his Spirit Power to connect with the Green Leaf Ball. The Green Leaf Ball opened again, and the Arctic Ice Wolf that had been swallowed up earlier was released once more.
¡°Bai Qi, did you really design this thing?¡±
Looking at this unbelievable scene before his eyes, Zhuge Chen couldn tmunicate with the Arctic Ice Wolf anymore; instead, he looked at Bai Qi with some disbelief.
¡°Of course, and I¡¯ve already reached an agreement with the Federation. The Spirit-Control Orb will soon be issued to those without a Talent, and Uncle Zhuge should have received the notice already.¡±
Bai Qi briefly told Zhuge Chen about his deal with the Thirteenth Bureau, then gestured towards the Green Leaf Ball in Zhuge Chen¡¯s hand, ¡°However, the version that the Federation will publish is only the initial version. This one in your hand is a prototype, and it is one of just two in the whole Federation, so make sure you don¡¯t lose it.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Zhuge Chen hastily stored the Green Leaf Ball, then sighed, ¡°I thought it was already insane when you discovered Rune Evolution, but I never expected you to be this insane. How did youe up with something like this?¡±
Bai Qi cocked his head, saying, ¡°It should be considered as inspiration from a predecessor called the Wisdom God, I guess. As for the Green Leaf Ball, it barely met the expected results, so it can¡¯t be poprized for now.¡±
Other structures of the Green Leaf Ball are the same as an ordinary Spirit- Control Orb, but this Jade Imprint right now can only be used by Nichs, so it can undoubtedly be considered a limited edition.
However, once itnds in the hands of Zhuge Chen and Old Qin, the Federation will probably know about it in no time and might go after Nichs again. Tsk, it seems like Nichs is once again going to be treated as a tool dragon. ¡°Wisdom God? It seems that you¡¯ve genuinely learned a lot at the headquarters of the Association, Bai Qi. I¡¯ve never heard of such a predecessor.¡± Zhuge Chen sighed, then began tomunicate with the Arctic Ice Wolf crouching down.
It was different from the bodynguage they had used before, this time he actually understood the thoughts of the Arctic Ice Wolf. For people like them who are fond of beasts but cannot be Beast Masters in their lifetime, this is indeed good news.
¡°Bai Qi, thank you.¡±
Aftermunicating with the Arctic Ice Wolf for a while, Zhuge Chen stood up and spoke solemnly, ¡°Without you, I might never have been able tomunicate with beasts like this in my whole life. How about¡you name this little fellow?¡±
¡°Me?¡±
Bai Qi was slightly stunned. Looking at the cool demeanor of the Arctic Ice Wolf, which waspletely different from Schuck, he thought for a moment and said, ¡°How about part¡ calling it Garulu?¡±
Chapter 270 - 266: Wuhou Dojo
Chapter 270: Chapter 266: Wuhou Dojo
¡°Garulu? What a strange name.¡±
Zhuge Chen couldn¡¯t help butugh at this but still took Bai Qi¡¯s advice, saying to the Arctic Ice Wolf in front of him, ¡°Garulu, let¡¯s help each other out from nowon.¡±
Awooo¡
The Arctic Ice Wolf let out a howl, then rubbed its head against Zhuge Chen and didn¡¯t show any more signs of affection.
Phew, howe everyone else¡¯s Ice Wolf is so aloof, but mine is so silly? Life is so unfair!
After a few exchanges with Garulu, Zhuge Chen looked up at Bai Qi and asked curiously, ¡°You said earlier that these Spirit-Control Orbs will be issued in bulk. Is that true?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Yes, but for now they can only be given to those without talent. Hmm, those whose contract slots are damaged or for some other reason can¡¯t make beast contracts should also work.¡±
The problem with the Spirit-Control Orb now was that they were not sure if it would upy a Beast Master¡¯s contract slot. Although Bai Qi thought the Federation might try, for now people like Zhuge Chen who hadn¡¯t awakened a talent or President Qin who¡¯d already lost a contract slot were the most suitable.
¡°I see.¡±
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen understood, ¡°No wonder Dad has been busy expanding the Elf Housetely, it¡¯s for this.¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°Simr farms should soon be set up in every city. Be sure to let Uncle Zhuge grab the opportunity early.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, when ites to things like these, my dad reacts faster than anyone.¡±
Uponughing, Zhuge Chen shifted his attention back to Garulu, ¡°Bai Qi, ording to what you said, can Imand Garulu to fight now?¡±
Looking at Zhuge Chen¡¯s excited face, Bai Qi chose his words carefully, ¡°In theory, yes. But the extent of yourmand depends on your rtionship with Garulu. And without a talent boost, it¡¯s best not topete against Beast Masters.¡±
Not only do Beast Masters receive talent boosts, they also grow with each other. That¡¯s why the development speed of pets who¡¯ve formed contracts through the Spirit-Control Orb is destined to be lower than the pets of Beast Masters.
Of course, it¡¯s not to say these pets can¡¯t be upgraded. As long as they train and receive resource investments, the pets of Spirit Controllers can also be upgraded. But whether or not they¡¯d still listen to yourmand afterwards is hard to say.
¡°I see¡¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded, a glint shing in his eyes, ¡°What if we set up a battle arena specifically for Spirit Controllers? We could start a trial run in the Wuhou Dojo, allowing Spirit Controllers to find suitable opponents. Or how about this ¡ªevery month we hold a themed battle? Spirit Controllers cane challenge it and whoever wins can get a badge for that month¡¯s theme. Once they¡¯ve collected a certain number of badges they can participate in the next round¡¡±
As Zhuge Chen grew more and more excited about his idea, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of his eye watching the rebirth of a tactical genius.
A dojo challenge, badges, and then a nationalpetition?
¡°Cough, take your time thinking about those. First, can you ask Garulu what it felt like being taken by the Green Leaf?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Zhuge Chen snapped out of his daydream and promptly asked.
¡°Garulu says it doesn¡¯t know either. After being enveloped by the green light, it fell asleep and didn¡¯ t wake up until it was released.¡±
¡°So it fell asleep?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. It seems that while the Jade Dream isn¡¯t hostile to other creatures, it¡¯s not a ce where they can move about freely either.
But that¡¯s good too, no need to worry about conflicts between pets happening in the future.
If there were no control measures and pets were allowed to wreak havoc inside, it wouldn¡¯t matter if the Jade Dream had any countermeasures of its own. You¡¯d look pretty silly if you were a Spirit Controller and found your pet has been severely injured when you let it out.
It¡¯s just unknown if it¡¯s the same for all pets. He¡¯d have to ask Old Qin about itter.
¡°By the way, since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t we go check out the Wuhou Dojo? It¡¯s just behind the breeding area, a few steps away.¡±
After ying with Garulu for a while, Zhuge Chen recalled it to the Green Leaf Ball and then extended an invitation to Bai Qi.
¡°The Wuhou Dojo? Sure.¡±
Since bing a Beast Master, he had only gone to the Haoli Dojo. Now that the Zhuge family also opened a dojo, Bai Qi definitely had to check it out.
As Zhuge Chen mentioned, the Wuhou Dojo and the breeding area were connected. Obviously, this was done intentionally by the Zhuge family.
The Elf House that sold pets, the breeding area responsible for rearing them, the dojo teachingbat methods, and the special topic groups that were constantly researching and developing.
With suchplete one-stop service, it¡¯d be ridiculous if their business wasn¡¯t thriving.
Soon, Bai Qi arrived at the Wuhou Dojo.
Compared to the dominant sense of power in the Haoli Dojo, the decorations in the Wuhou Dojo was very exquisite, showing traces of ancient oriental influence everywhere.
The continuousing and going of creatures from the Undead Department made the ce feel somewhat gloomy.
Zhuge Chen checked the time, ¡°Master Duanmeng should be giving a ss to his students in the dojo now, let¡¯s wait in the lounge.¡±
¡°No problem, we¡¯re free anyway. Let¡¯s go and learn something.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head. After all, Master Duanmeng was an expert in the Undead Department and they couldn¡¯t pass up a free opportunity to learn. For instance, Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death barely counted as a soul summoning technique. Listening more might help.
¡°Indeed, Master Duan is now the deputy head of the dojo, and he doesn¡¯t teach often, so missing his ss is a real shame.¡±
After hearing these words, Zhuge Chen nodded and led Bai Qi into the Wuhou Dojo.
The interior of the dojo was meticulously arranged, much like the outside world. Each scene they came across was strikingly different, giving the sensation of experiencing a different view at every step.
In the very center of the dojo stood arge arena where Duanmeng was giving a lecture to a perfectly arranged group of students below.
¡°The Soul Race, as one of the main branches of the undead, relies heavily on the power of the shadows, regardless of any other attributes the individual may possess. Therefore, no matter which direction you n to develop your pet beast in, you must base it on the shadow power¡¡±
Duanmeng¡¯s main focus was the Soul Race. The content of his lessons usually focused on this, but they also mixed in a good deal of insights and key points about the Skeletal Type. The students below benefitted greatly.
¡°Indeed, specialization matters. Masters who are proficient in a particr system possess a unique understandingpared to others.¡±
Listening to Duanmeng¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi nodded slightly in approval.
Although simr knowledge had been taught at headquarters, considering the distinct needs of the students, some detailed points had not been exined as thoroughly as Duanmeng.
It would definitely be worthwhile toe and learn more from him when free ¡ª so much valuable knowledge.
Bai Qj and Zhuge Chen¡¯s arrival soon caught the attention of Duanmeng. On noticing Bai Qi¡¯s thirst for knowledge, Duanmeng squinted his eyes and suddenly said, ¡°Everyone should take time to digest the knowledge imparted today. Now, let¡¯s arrange abat match, to experience the fighting style of the undead firsthand.¡±
¡°Bai Qi, as the champion of the joint city exam, would you minding down and giving some guidance to these younger students?¡±
Hearing Duanmeng¡¯s words, all the students turned around to look at Bai Qi. Upon seeing his bewildered face, they were startled beyond belief.
¡°Ding! A live Bai Qi spotted! Should we capture it?¡±
¡°Idiot, this is a big shot! Hurry up and kneel and lick his boots!¡±
¡°Get real, Bai Qi is a schr. The best way to strike a conversation is to ask questions. Has the great Bai Qi got a girlfriend yet?¡±
¡°Get lost, love-crazed fool! I¡¯m going to be the man of a legendary beast master! Watch me surpass Bai Qi!¡±
¡°Good luck with that, not!¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s appearance immediately caused amotion inside the dojo. However, a single frown from Duanmeng seemed to send a chill down their backs, promptly silencing them.
They hadpletely forgotten that the deputy head of the dojo was teaching them today. Considering their behavior just now, they were definitely doomed. ¡°So, did I just take a bullet?¡±
Bai Qi looked bewilderedly at Duanmeng, not having expected this turn of events. Observing Bai Qi¡¯s silence, Duanmeng grumbled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Bai Qi? You can¡¯t act like this when it¡¯s time to teach the students of the Undead Department!¡±
Teach? The undead students? Me?
Hearing Duanmeng¡¯s words, Bai Qi became even more confused. On hearing this, Zhuge Chen finally reacted and scratched his head, ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you. The Undead Department has assigned you the position of a tutor. I was busymunicating with Garulu just now and forgot to mention it to you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s face fell. So, that¡¯s why Professor Dong told him to visit the Undead Department after returning to the school.
Seeing the students¡¯ eager faces, Bai Qi had no choice but to go up to the stage. He looked at Duanmeng with a wry smile and asked, ¡°Master Duan, could you tell me who came up with this arrangement?¡±
Turning him ¡ª a current student of mechanical martial arts ¡ª into a tutor for the undead? Who else but someone with a 10-year history of brain thrombosis could dream up such a thing?
¡°Didn¡¯t you know? It was your teacher, Legendary Celestial Brilliance, who rmended you personally, and it received unanimous support from the other instructors of the Undead Department.¡±
Hearing Duanmeng¡¯s answer, Bai Qi froze. He silently resigned to his fate. His teacher¡¯s vision was truly unparalleled!
¡°Most of the students here are freshmen from the Undead Department. Your presence here today will serve as an excellent practical learning experience.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s awkwardness, the corners of Duanmeng¡¯s mouth twitched slightly before he advised, ¡°Although your assigned topic by the department is the evolution of skeletal runes, it¡¯s always clearer with practical demonstration. You just need to spar with them casually.¡±
After finishing his statement, Duanmeng moved to the center of the stage and asked, ¡°Any volunteers to start it off?¡±
¡°Me, me, I¡¡±
Just as Duanmeng finished speaking, countless hands shot up, volunteering. However, as soon as anky male student came forward, everyone else fell silent.
¡°I¡¯ll be your sparring partner, Teacher Bai¡¡±
¡°Eh, Lu Yuan? Why is it you?¡±
The student was none other than Lu Yuan, who had passed the professional exam in the same year as Bai Qi.
Chapter 271 - 267: It’s So Hard to Win When My Little Brother Sets up the Game~
Chapter 271: Chapter 267: It¡¯s So Hard to Win When My Little Brother Sets up the Game~
¡°Uh, Lu Yuan? Why is it you?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback as he looked at the resentful expression on Lu Yuan¡¯s face.
¡°Why can¡¯t it be me.¡±
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes unhappily, saying, ¡°I¡¯m a first-year student in the Undead Department this year. It¡¯s normal for me toe to the dojo for extra practice, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°Uh, there¡¯s nothing wrong with that.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, a new student who is a professional Beast Master, the quality of the Undead Department¡¯s enrollees is quite high.
However, the feeling of being called a teacher by the professional test candidates of the same period was a bit¡
Refreshing!
Bai Qi revealed a grin, ¡°Since my opponent is you, Lu Yuan, I can go a little bit harder. So, shall we start now?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, apparently displeased, but he still kept it in, and Duanmeng timely evacuated thebat ring to let the two of them fight freely.
As he looked at Bai Qi¡¯s rxed expression, Lu Yuan suddenly recalled the countless days and nights he had been foolishly keeping watch at Bai Qi¡¯s front door, determination shed in his eyes and a big Array instantly appeared before him.
¡°Thanks to your Rune Evolution, my Ghost Bone Giant Tiger has evolved into a low-level Lord, the Dark me Tiger King. Even when facing your Wilting Dragon Lord, it has the power to fight!¡±
Looking at the slowly rising Dark me Tiger King from the Array, pride filled Lu Yuan¡¯s face.
For a variety of reasons, the quality of students recruited by the Undead Department of the Star Mechanics Academy is very high, bringing together young talents from all over the Federation.
However, as a professional Beast Master, or a local Beast Master, Lu Yuan still enjoyed a lot of benefits. He was the first to try both Rune Evolution and Second Stage Evolution.
Even though there was an experimental nature to it, his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger indeed received a significant boost.
A low-level Lord, he was certainly a standout among his peers.
¡°Oh, have the Rune Tier 2 Evolutions spread to Lord creatures?¡±
Looking at the faintly visible runes on the Dark me Tiger King, Bai Qi nodded slightly. The research group¡¯s progress was faster than he thought, they had already started to proliferate in such a short time.
My money is going to increase again¡
Thinking about his increasingly full wallet, Bai Qi was in high spirits, and immediately summoned Alpha.
In the moment Alpha appeared, the previously proud Dark me Tiger King, fully disying the might of a tiger king, instantly felt a repression from its own bloodline. It unconsciously shrunk its body.
¡°Dark me Tiger King, what are you doing!¡±
Seeing his tiger king instantly be a house cat, Lu Yuan became annoyed. He wanted to lift the spirit of the Dark me Tiger King, but no matter how much Lu Yuan urged it, the Dark me Tiger King didn¡¯t dare to approach.
Creak, creak.
(Boss, should we fight this old tiger?)
Bai Qi simply looked at the trembling Dark me Tiger King and replied, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. But you¡¯d better restrain your aura, or we won¡¯t be able to fight.¡±
A king-level, the official transformative stage of beasts. Even a casually leaked aura is absolute suppression to creatures of the same type.
Creak, creak.
(Alright.)
On hearing this, Alpha nodded and immediately retracted its aura while also suppressing its power. However, even so, the Dark me Tiger King, already psychologically scarred, still didn¡¯t dare to attackAlpha.
Seeing this, Duanmeng finally couldn¡¯t help but speak, ¡°How about this, Bai Qi, send out your weakest beast, then just guide it.¡±
The weakest?
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned, the image of his four pets tearing apart the house involuntarily popped up in his mind, and he heaved a helpless sigh.
It¡¯s not suitable to use the weakest to fight this, low-level matches are indeed harder than high-end ones.
¡°How about this, since it¡¯s for teaching purpose, Lu Yuan, you don¡¯t mind it¡¯s a one-sided fight, do you?¡±
¡°One against many?¡±
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, one Alpha had already made the Dark me Tiger Kingpletely lose its will to fight, if there are a few more, how is he supposed to fight?
¡°Yes, they are all products of Rune Evolution research. Although their double level is a bit lower, it should suffice for a demonstration.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, looked at Alpha, and Alpha instantly summoned the Six Sword Servants.
¡°Huh? That feeling just now, was it a summon?¡±
Lu Yuan stared at the six different-colored Sword Servants on the field, asking a question that even he thought was stupid.
¡°Bai Qi, did you reach the seventh stage?¡±
It¡¯s well known that only seventh-stage Legendary Beast Masters can contract seven beasts.
¡°You are thinking too much, I just usually leave them in the secret realm, now I just let them out.¡±
As Heguang had specifically instructed not to disclose the pet contract, Bai Qi naturally wouldn¡¯t tell the truth.
¡°Oh, so are they wild beasts?¡±
Lu Yuan understood and looked at the Six Sword Servants he had never heard of before, asking, ¡°Then shall we start now?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and transmitted a series of orders to the Six Sword Servants through Alpha, then stepped aside.
¡°Dark me Tiger King, show me your spirit, we can¡¯t lose face again.¡±
Roar!
The Dark me Tiger King let out a low growl, with the aura that had previously been suppressed by Alpha returning, from the Lord-level creature, it flooded towards the Six Sword Servants.
They were only High-grade Elites after all, being able to move at all in front of the Intimidation skill was a considerable feat.
What surprised the Dark me Tiger King, however, was that the Six Sword Servants, after a brief wobble, were still and in position, their long swords firmly locked on the Dark me Tiger King.
¡°I knew it, none of the pets under Bai Qi¡¯s control are normal.¡±
Faced with this situation, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly before giving up his n to suppress them with Intimidation. ¡°Just attack directly.¡±
The Dark me Tiger King nodded. He opened his mouth, and a stream of dark mes instantly poured out, rushing towards the Six Sword Servants.
However, before the mes could get close, the Water Armor Swordsman swung his long sword, and a chilling stream of water fell from the sky, blocking the Dark me King but only for a moment before the water was turned into vapor by the Dark me.
In front of the absolute level gap, water couldn¡¯t extinguish fire as attribute counters were rtive.
But it seemed that the Six Sword Servants had no intention of relying on this to block the Dark me. The moment the Water Armor Swordsman made a move, the Earth Armor Swordsman acted as well, slowly raising a wall of earth to separate the Six Sword Servants and the Dark me.
At the same time, the Golden Armor Swordsman, wielding his metal great sword, directly crossed the earth wall and rushed towards the Dark me Tiger King.
Seeing the powerful great sword in the Golden Armor Swordsman¡¯s hand, the Dark me Tiger King temporarily abandoned long-range attacks and switched to meleebat with the Golden Armor Swordsman.
Thump!
The Tiger King¡¯s giant ws fell on the metal great sword, and the harsh metallic sound echoed throughout the arena, but the many undead creatures on the stage were not affected at all. In contrast, the audience under the stage couldn¡¯t bear it.
¡°Isn¡¯t that skeleton wrapped in metal just a high-grade elite? How can it withstand Lu Yuan¡¯s Dark me Tiger King?¡±
¡°The Dark me Tiger King should not be serious yet, the numerical difference between the Lord and the Elite is quite significant.¡±
Looking at the Golden Armor Swordsman with a sword facing the Dark me Tiger King, the students¡¯ discussion below the stage was buzzing. Lu Yuan also heard all without missing a beat.
¡°Dark me Tiger King, stop ying!¡±
If he couldn¡¯t beat a king-level creature, that was eptable, but now he couldn¡¯t even beat high-grade elites¡ªthey did not need the Dark me Tiger King to continue fighting for them.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan¡¯smand, the Dark me Tiger King finally got serious. His tiger w was instantly wrapped in Dark me, and the swinging sound even brought with it bursts of air explosions. The moment the Golden Armor Swordsman was hit, he was sent flying.
But before Lu Yuan could celebrate, the Water Armor and Fire Armor Swordsmen rushed up andunched counter-attacks against the Dark me Giant Tiger from two directions. At the same time, the Golden Armor Swordsman, with the help of the Wood Armor Swordsman, resolved the strong impact and rejoined the battle again.
With the Golden Armor Swordsman leading the attack, the Water and Fire Armor Swordsmen provided additional attacks, while the Earth and Wood Armor Swordsmen focused on assisting, either helping with defense or causing disruptions. Surprisingly, the five high-grade elites were actually having an exchange with the Dark me Giant Tiger.
¡°The Undead Department can actually y like this?¡±
The students under the stage were dumbfounded at the sight of the five attribute pets fighting so well together, and Duanmeng seemed to have noticed something and couldn¡¯t help but nce at Alpha a few times.
¡°Are these guys reallyjust high-grade elites?¡±
As a professional Beast Master, Lu Yuan didn¡¯t im to fully understand all pets, but he was very clear about the Undead Department.
Normally, after fighting a low-level Lord for so long, their energy values should have been exhausted, so how could they still be full of life?
They must have cheated, definitely!
¡°Alpha, are you sure you didn¡¯t help?¡±
Looking at the somewhat absurd scene in front of him, Bai Qi couldn¡¯ t help but quietly ask Alpha, who looked innocent.
Gla?
(Does sharing spirit and energy count as helping?)
That¡¯s nonsense! A king-level spirit and energy value are not equivalent to an Elite level, right!
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and then looked at Lu Yuan with some sympathy.
He hoped Lu Yuan wouldn¡¯t develop a psychological shadow, should he exin to him that your Tiger King isn¡¯t fighting six high-grade elites, but six fragments of a king-level creature?
¡°Alpha, stop sharing with the Six Sword Servants, or it will mislead others.¡±
Bai Qi nced at the students who were eagerly watching the Six Sword Servants and immediately gave Alpha an order. But before Alpha could respond, the Dark Armor Swordsman, who had disappeared at the start of the fight, suddenly drilled out from beneath the shadow of the Dark me Tiger King¡¯s feet, its pitch-ck long sword pointed directly at the Fire of Soul of the Tiger King.
As an assassin, killing in one blow was a basic rule.
¡°Damn, I knew it, I felt like one was missing. So it was hiding?¡±
¡°So cool! I¡¯ve decided, I¡¯ll contract this configuration when I go back.¡±
¡°Ha, don¡¯t even think about it, didn¡¯t you hear the boss say that this is his experimental product, it definitely won¡¯t be avable to the public.¡±
¡°So, what should we do? Should we negotiate with the boss?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t rush. They should be released in the future. Let¡¯s just wait¡¡±
Listening to the discussion of the several people, Bai Qi¡¯s face grimaced.
Seems like.Jt¡¯s already toote¡
Chapter 272 - 268:1 became an Undead Department lecturer?
Chapter 272: Chapter 268:1 became an Undead Department lecturer?
Lu Yuan stared nkly at the ck longsword, firmly lodged in front of the Fire of Soul of the Dark me Tiger King.
Had he, lost?
Lost to the six high-grade elite creatures?
So, what had he been working on all these days?
Lu Yuan instantly became disheartened, and the Dark me Tiger King began to doubt its life, looking at the Six Sword Servants with the same regard one might give a lord, no, a king-level creature.
¡°Bai Qi, are these pets of yours all new evolution types?¡±
Seeing thepetition nearing its end, Duanmeng took the stage, ¡°They seem a little different from the usual evolution types, don¡¯t they?¡±
At Duanmeng¡¯s words, Lu Yuan instantly perked up, his ears standing on end as he carefully listened to the two men¡¯s conversation.
Bai Qi seeing this, understood, ¡°Correct, these creatures were produced in the early stages of the experiment. Their attributes are stronger than normal evolution types, but unfortunately the risk is too high, essentially impossible to replicate.¡±
So, they were special products?
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt some relief, and Duanmeng smoothly transitioned into teaching mode.
¡°We all saw the battle just now. Although the Dark me Tiger King¡¯s level was higher than its enemies, it overlooked their attributes and teamwork, underestimated its opponents, and didn¡¯t even use its skills properly. Most importantly, as an undead creature, it was surprisingly easily ambushed by a shadow creature. One might say, the oue of the battle was determined from the start.¡±
Hearing Duanmeng¡¯s words, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought. True, he had been with the mindset of a cat toying with a mouse in the battle, wanting to disy the strength of the Dark me Tiger King. He hadn¡¯t expected to lose so miserably. If he had been more serious, he wouldn¡¯t have been so easily ambushed by the Six Sword Servants.
¡°I understand many of you runic evolution users prefer the easier leveling method, but this means you can spend more time in training. Not to mention, runic evolution provides additional bonuses to certain skills. So, I hope all of you can reflect after today. Do you understand?¡±
¡°Understood!¡±
All the students echoed together, their eyes towards Bai Qi reflected a different emotion.
Put simply, they looked at him with the eyes of students looking at their teacher.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s end today¡¯s training here, everyone goback,¡±
Seeing that everyone understood his point, Duanmeng nodded with satisfaction, then dismissed the students. Although Lu Yuan had words he wanted to say to Bai Qi, seeing the four rune marks on Bai Qi¡¯s hand, he held his tongue.
So, that guy who used to fight in weird ways had already be a Four Stage Beast Master. He felt proud to have reached Three Stage himself.
As expected, there were always people better off. He had to work even harder!
With those thoughts, Lu Yuan quickly left the stage, but didn¡¯t leave the dojo, instead heading for the training ground on the side.
¡°Good, knowing one¡¯s shame and striving to improve.¡±
Duanmeng nodded slightly, then turned to Bai Qi¡¯s Six Sword Servants, ¡°Bai Qi, what is the story with these six pets of yours?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly at the question, ¡°Sorry, my teacher told me not to say much.¡±
¡°Bai Chuanqi, right? Alright, then I won¡¯t ask.¡±
Having heard it was Bai Heguang¡¯s idea, Duanmeng didn¡¯t pry further about the Six Sword Servants, although he couldn¡¯t help reminding them, considering their earlier performance.
¡°These six pets have considerable potential. If trained properly, they might not be any weaker than your other pets. You mustn¡¯t waste their talents.¡±
¡°Thankyou for the reminding, Master Duan. I¡¯ll keep that in mind.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The Six Sword Servants were now considered to be vassals of Alpha, and as long as Alpha levelled up, they would receive benefits. Moreover, Alpha spent most of his spare time training with the Six Sword Servants, so Bai Qi didn¡¯t need to worry too much.
¡°By the way, Master Duan, what¡¯s the deal with that Undead Department instructor?¡±
Now that there was no one around, Bai Qi finally asked the question that had been puzzling him. Duanmeng simply smiled back, ¡°Didn¡¯t we just mention it? It was Bai Chuanqi¡¯s decision. I must say, it¡¯s rare for Bai Chuanqi to take such an interest in someone. You¡¯re really lucky.¡±
Duanmeng¡¯s words only added to Bai Qi¡¯s confusion, but Duanmeng didn¡¯t seem bothered, continuing to exin.
¡°Do you know what the outside world currently thinks of you?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head. He had been focused on studying in the recent days and hadn¡¯t paid much attention to the outside world.
¡°There are currently two main opinions. The first is admiring, calling you things like ¡®rising star¡¯ and so on. The second leans towards questioning, hurling usations like ¡®fool¡¯s gold¡¯, ¡®puppet¡¯, and all kinds of nerve-wracking ones.¡±
¡°So, my teacher wants me to be an instructor in the Undead Department to dispel these rumors myself?¡±
Bai Qi understood the moment he said his guesses out loud. Duanmeng nodded approvingly, ¡°Exactly, that¡¯s what Bai Chuanqi is thinking. We agreed to this idea for the same reason.¡±
¡°But be prepared, there are bound to be those who will try to prove you wrong. If handled improperly, it will all be for naught.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Anyone who wanted to cause trouble could just be beaten up. Among Beast Masters, was there a more effective way of disciplining than beating up?
¡°Alright, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won¡¯t hold you up any longer. If you are free today, you should go to the school and coordinate your schedule for both sides.¡±
At Duanmeng¡¯s words, Bai Qi remembered his Mecha Martial Arts specialization sses, and his face fell instantly.
On one hand, I needed to be amitted student at the Mechanical Engineering Department, on the other hand, I needed to teach others at the Undead Department. Plus, I couldn¡¯t abandon my pet training. It seemed like time was never enough.
Tsk, I suddenly envied those who could shadow-clone, they never had to worry about being shorthanded,
After Duanmeng left first, Zhuge Chen took Bai Qi on a tour of theyout of the Wuhou Dojo, then they returned to the Elf House.
¡°That¡¯s enough for today. There are many matters you need to attend to, you better set off immediately.¡±
¡°Alright, remember to contact me if anything happens to Garulu.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, then called for Delta, hopped onto the Wind God Winged Dragon under the stunned gaze of Zhuge Chen, and said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wind God Winged Dragon vanished into the horizon, leaving everyone in awe.
Did that pet just transform?
And why does it look so much like the Wind God Winged Dragon from the ancient creature books?
At the Star Mechanics Academy.
Riding on the Wind God Winged Dragon, Bai Qi carefully avoided the nces of students and found a corner tond. Then he confidently headed straight for the Mechanical Engineering Department¡¯s building.
¡°Indeed, having a flying mount is fantastic.¡±
With a smile on his face, Bai Qi relished the thrill of not having to deal with traffic jams. He hummed a little tune all the way and quickly arrived at Professor Chu¡¯s office.
Knock, knock, knock!
¡°Come in.¡±
Bai Qi gently knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from inside, he gingerly pushed open the door.
¡°You arrived at the right time, help me pass that metal box from the floor.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi enter, an elderly manmanded him without even looking up, and Bai Qi proficiently picked up the metal box and ced it under an instrument in front of the old man.
¡°Professor Chu, are you studying some new weapon again?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s voice, Professor Chu finally raised his head. He looked somewhat confusedly at Bai Qi, ¡°Bai Qi? Weren¡¯t you on intense training? Why are you back all of a sudden¡¡±
¡°Ehm, Professor Chu, I¡¯ve been in training for more than two months¡¡±
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eye, Professor Chu was as timeliness as ever. This was rather unusual in a group of mechanical engineers, who valued precision.
Fortunately, Professor Chu wasn¡¯t entirely obtuse, he quickly snapped back to reality.
¡°You kid, you¡¯ve been stealing the limelight recently. Three consecutive core patents, you¡¯re catching up with me.¡±
Professor Chu adjusted his reading sses, ¡°But, you are a mechanical engineer, why are all of your patents Rune-based? Aren¡¯t you stoking the ego of Old Lady Dong?¡±
Hearing Professor Chu¡¯s words, a spark of curiosity ignited in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes.
It seemed Professor Dong also expressed discontent towards Professor Chu previously. There was a story between those two-
¡°Forget it, since you are back, just study hard and try to get a pure mechanical patent.¡±
Professor Chu eyed Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Your Rune mechanicalyout technique indeed shows great promise, perhaps it could be the breakthrough for advancing the Mechanical Department. But if you want to design a more rationalyout, you must master the knowledge of mechanical engineering.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The Star Mechanics Academy was not just the number one Mechanical Engineering institution in the Federation; it taught far beyond textbook knowledge. There were many invaluable insights to glean, especially from Professor Chu, who had designed a great deal ofmonly used machinery in the Federation. His strength was indisputable.
¡°Speaking of which, you have an Arctic Ice Wolf with integrated mechanical parts, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Correct. Is there a problem?¡±
¡°Problem? Of course, there¡¯s a problem!¡±
Professor Chu nodded, ¡°Installing mechanical weapons on living creatures has always been a significant challenge for us mechanical engineers. Others may neglect it, but how could I not see that your Arctic Ice Wolf haspletely integrated with the machinery?¡±
Wow, he almost forgot about this matter, yet Professor Chu still remembered it.
¡°I¡¯m not clear about how you did it, but I suggest you invest some time into further research. If you can find a method of mass application, it would greatly benefit the Federation!¡±
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi understood. After installing mechanical weapons on ordinary pets, theirbat strength could undoubtedly be significantly enhanced. Especially since he had developed Rune mechanics, it was even more relevant.
However, the case of Schuck Beta was extraordinary, and the major role that the Evolution Egg yed made it difficult to replicate.
¡°Rest assured, I have conducted some research in this area as well. You can ask me if you have any questions.¡±
Professor Chu gave a heavy pat on Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Remember, you must get a patent rted to Mechanical Engineering. Else, it would be truly embarrassing for me!¡±
Chapter 273 - 269: Not Enough Time~
Chapter 273: Chapter 269: Not Enough Time~
¡°Well, I¡¯ll do my best.¡±
Thinking about how he had inadvertently be a pawn in the games of the big shots, Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless. But considering that he could consult Professor Chu anytime and anywhere, he didn¡¯t care too much.
With that thought, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes shed and a sycophantic smile spread across his face. He said, ¡°By the way, Professor Chu, I have some questions that I¡¯d like to ask you. Could you teach me about Ultimate Engineering? If that¡¯s not possible, I¡¯d be okay with Infinite Materials Science or Space Technology.¡±
Professor Chu: ¡°¡¡±
It took a while before Professor Chu snapped out of his surprise and said, ¡°You brat, have you already started getting into these things?¡±
Bai Qi gave a sheepish grin and said, ¡°I thought I¡¯d start learning it early, the more knowledge the better, right?¡±
Upon hearing this, Professor Chu couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that. Seventh Stage Mechanical Technology is basically controlled by the Federation. Unless it¡¯s a Federation-certified mechanic, no one else has the right to learn it.¡±
¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±
Bai Qi muttered upon hearing this, Seventh Stage Mechanical Technology is the cornerstone of the Mechanical Engineering Department, he had indeed been wishing for a bit too much to get it that easily.
¡°However, if you coulde up with a core patent for the Mechanical Department, I can help you apply and allow you to choose either Ultimate Engineering or Endless Material Science to study.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Upon hearing Professor Chu¡¯s words, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes instantly brightened.
The Spirit-Control Orb surely counts as a core patent of the Mechanical Department. So, after the patent approval, he can exchange it with Professor Chu for knowledge?
Thinking of this, some bold ideas popped up in Bai Qi¡¯s mind, ¡°If I cane up with two patents, can I choose two subjects?¡±
¡°Two?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s confidence, Professor Chu was a bit surprised.
The core patents of the Mechanical Department required a higher level of professional expertise. It was hard enough to evene up with one. It was practically a pipe dream for Bai Qi toe up with two at his age.
However, Professor Chu didn¡¯t want to kill Bai Qi¡¯s enthusiasm, he nodded and said, ¡°Sure, as long as you can get the core patent certificate, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s two or three, I¡¯ll arrange it for you!¡±
Upon hearing Professor Chu¡¯s words, Bai Qi grinned broadly. The dormant passion for research in his heart suddenly red up. It seemed like he had already nned his future research.
The Spirit-Control Orb was a sure thing, and the other project would naturally be about integrating mechanical weapons with living organisms.
He¡¯d have to check with his parents about whether the custom equipment had arrived. He¡¯d probably need those for developing a popr method.
¡°I remember a few days ago the Undead Department contacted me, they wanted you to be an honorary lecturer, right?¡±
After chatting with Bai Qi for so long, Professor Chu finally brought up the lecturer position at the Undead Department.
¡°That¡¯s correct, I came over this time to talk about how to manage both courses.¡±
Professor Chu nodded, ¡°Managing the courses is easy. The coursework in the Undead Department won¡¯t be too demanding. You can just make time for a ss there. As for our Mechanical Department, thepulsory courses for sophomore year will decrease significantly. You can just choose your elective courses.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood and no longer worried about the scheduling issue.
¡°Alright, I need to continue my research and won¡¯t waste time chatting. Get out of here.¡±
Having said that, Professor Chu returned to his original spot and resumed his research.
¡°Those two really do lookalike¡¡±
Looking at Professor Chu¡¯s office filled with various machines, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but think of Professor Dong¡¯s office. Although it was noticeably tidier, the overall style was very simr.
¡°Bah, I can¡¯t believe I have time to think about such things. Let me just go to the Undead Department to discuss things and then go home for a good night¡¯s rest.¡±
Bai Qi pped his face and quickly headed to the Undead Department.
Just as Zhuge Chen had said, the Undead Department was indeed bustling. Even though it only had one grade, the number of students already surpassed the total number of some rtively unpopr departments.
¡°Surely they don¡¯t expect me to teach all these students, do they?¡±
Seeing the bustling crowd in front of him, a bad feeling surged up in Bai Qi¡¯s heart. He immediately shook his head and cast that thought out of his mind.
¡°I¡¯ll take it one step at a time.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, asked a student for the location of the Dean¡¯s office, and quickly rushed over.
Just then, Bai Qiucha suddenly appeared in front of Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re here? Perfect. Dad was going to have me fetch you, saved me a trip.¡± ¡°Dad is also here? I thought he went to the Western Region?¡±
Bai Qi was a bit confused upon hearing this, but Bai Qiucha just shrugged, lookingpletely nonchnt.
¡°Normal. Ever since I started understanding things, dad has been running all around the Federation. I¡¯m used to it.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi muttered, a Titled Legendary sure was troublesome. If he became a Legend in the future, he would definitely find reasons to hide. Otherwise, life might be a bit too boring.
Both of them walked into the Dean¡¯s office, pushed open the door, and saw Bai Heguang sitting behind the desk, quickly flipping through a pile of documents.
¡°You¡¯re here.¡±
Upon seeing Bai Qi arrive, Bai Heguang put down the documents in his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already watched the battle videos. You performed well. You are capable of independently raising a King-level creature. Among peers, you are top-tier.¡±
¡°Thank you for yourpliment, professor.¡±
Bai Qi smirked in response, knowing Bai Heguang was not the type of teacher to encourage you in your studies with ttery. If apliment came from him, it was genuinely meant.
¡°You might want to be more cautious with the Bo Ge family in the future. They probably won¡¯t go so far as to directly harm you, but they may create some trouble.¡±
Bai Heguang advised, with a serious tone, ¡°I won¡¯t always be around to protect you, so you will need to guard yourselves.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi grew grave considering the previous interactions with Dean. It seemed that the Bo Ge family was not unlike the churches depicted in his past fictional reads. If they ever got the upper hand, they might very wellbel him a heretic and proceed with purification.
¡°But you shouldn¡¯t worry too much. Gusu City is located in the southern region of the Federation, and with President Qin around, it¡¯s unlikely the Bo Ge family would go out of their way to trouble you. Just focus on your studies.¡±
At this point, Bai Heguang handed Bai Qi a document, ¡°This is your employment contract for the position of a guest lecturer. Sign it, and you can officially start teaching from tomorrow.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi frowned bitterly, saying, ¡°Sir, may I refuse?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
Bai Heguang shot Bai Qi a look. Understanding his meaning, Bai Qi silently took the contract.
¡°I know what you¡¯re worried about, but as a Four Stage Beast Master, you arepletely qualified to be a lecturer.¡±
Bai Heguang paused before continuing, ¡°I know you don¡¯t care about the opinions of others, but there are some things you need to do. Perform well and silence them once and for all.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi found it hard to argue, seeing the high expectations Bai Heguang held for him.
¡°There¡¯s another matter.¡±
Bai Heguang had a lot to discuss that day. Although Bai Qi was puzzled, he didn¡¯t interrupt and simply listened attentively.
¡°The Federation has been reporting an increasing number of problems with ferocious beasts. The pressure on the Association is quite high. Your major task for the third stage is to help the Association resolve these issues. So, spend more time at the Association after you fulfill your duties at the academy.¡±
Why did it feel like he was following in the footsteps of Bai Heguang?
After hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s words, Bai Qi felt the scant time he had was insufficient.
If only he could split like Gamma¡
¡°Alright then, I still need to get back to the western region after settling things here. You two should head back first, train well. I can return anytime to check on your progress.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha nodded in unison before leaving the office.
¡°Phew- This is the first time I have heard dad talk so much, you must be pretty remarkable, Bai Qi.¡±
Bai Qiucha looked at Bai Qi, smiling, ¡°Or should I just address you as Sir Bai?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, ¡°Do you want me to discuss runes in the ss and call your name every lesson?¡±
Bai Qiucha froze at his words, shrinking his neck in disappointment.
Everything else was okay, but he really did not like discussing runes. The basics were eptable, but it was obvious that Bai Qi would never broach the basics.
¡°Alright then, it¡¯s gettingte, I should head back and rest. See you tomorrow.¡± Bai Qi nced at the darkening sky and summoned Delta to fly home.
Despite theck of recent upants, Bai Qi¡¯s home remained spotless, without a speck of dust. It was clear that it had been cleaned recently.
¡°Could it be Zhuge Chen sent someone to tidy up?¡±
Confused, Bai Qi looked around and headed directly to his room without giving it much thought.
¡°I knew it, being home is always the best.¡±
Bai Qi contentedly flopped onto his bed, stretching out before noticing a ck box on his desk. He promptly sat up and picked up the box.
¡°Son, surprised?¡±
Just as Bai Qi¡¯s fingers made contact with the box, two holographic projections appeared in his room. Much to his astonishment, they were his parents Bai Yan and Luo Zhu.
He had been wondering who had cleaned the house, turns out it was his parents.
¡°Son, originally, we wanted to hang out with you for a bit, but the Jiuli Group is rather pressing, so we had to head back.¡±
¡°Still, we left you a present. Make sure you receive it.¡±
¡°When wee back this time, we will spend more quality time with you.¡±
The holographic projection didn¡¯tst long, indicating that Bai Yan and Luo Zhu were indeed in a hurry. Bai Qi could understand their situation.
The reviving of the ancient species was an experiment the Jiuli Group was particrly anxious about, or he wouldn¡¯t believe it.
As for the gift mentioned by his parents, Bai Qi knew what it was without even thinking.
The full set of biological equipment that he had asked them to purchase had arrived¡.
Chapter 274 - 270: Bringing in Personal Items
Chapter 274: Chapter 270: Bringing in Personal Items
Bai Qi arrived at hisb, breaking into a slight smile at the sight of various equipment crammed inside.
His wishes were granted before he even asked. Now he could study the biomechanical fusion of his husky and the evolutionary ability of Delta.
Upon entering theb, Bai Qi indeed found another ck box. He opened it, revealing another holographic projection. But instead of Luo Zhu, it was Bai Yan this time.
¡°Apart from somerge-scale equipment, your dad has pretty much prepared everything you need for biological research. Just remember not to use them randomly,¡± warned Bai Yan with a serious expression.
¡°Inside this ckbox, I¡¯ve stored aplete set of biological knowledge which your dad also helped categorize. Please follow the order and learn. It should be helpful to you,¡± he continued.
¡°Dad always gets things done so reliably.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was touched. Having his dad, a professional in the field, handle the categorization saved him from studying aimlessly. It certainly did make things easier.
¡°The Revival of Ancient Species project has now entered a critical phase. Once your mom and dad have settled things, we wille back and spend more time with you.¡±
As the holographic projection abruptly ended, Bai Qi immediately summoned Husky. He handed the ck box to Schuck and said, ¡°Schuck, have this biological knowledge recorded into my personal database. These pieces of equipment should be stored in the base, in a separate area. It¡¯s also time to start addressing the biomechanical flesh fusion technology and the causes for the evolution of the ancestral beasts.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Schuck nodded, swallowing the ck box and immediately extracting its data, while Beta skillfully opened a portal to the secret realm, admitting the equipment into the base one by one.
¡°I¡¯ve got a little free time. Let¡¯s catch some sleep.¡±
Setting up his equipment would take a while, and for now, he had nothing else to do. He could then take this rare opportunity to rx.
Buzz¡ Buzz¡ Buzz¡
Just then, Bai Qi¡¯s cell phone started to vibrate.
¡°A text message? Is it¡ from the teacher?¡±
Bai Qi opened the message with some confusion. After seeing its content, he involuntarily twitched at the corner of his eyes.
¡°Come to the Undead Department for ss tomorrow. Be ready.¡±
This message seemed to suggest that he run away¡
Bai Qi covered his face and sighed. For the first time, he felt that epting Bai Heguang as his teacher was a mistake. The benefits were still uncertain, but the tasks were obviously underway.
¡°Schuck, prepare a set of courseware for me. The more sophisticated, the better. Best if I won¡¯t have to be involved!¡±
The next day.
The massive auditorium of the Undead Department.
All the freshmen arrived early at the auditorium, choosing front row seats with anticipation etched on their faces.
The creator of rune evolution, the direct disciple of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance, the top scorer in Gusu and Lingxi city¡¯s joint examination, the youngest lecturer in the Undead Department¡
These titles filled them with curiosity about Bai Qi, their seniors who they had only seen once during the opening ceremony.
Of course, some held grudges.
¡°Having a peer serve as a lecturer, isn¡¯t Bai Chuanqi overpraising him?¡± Aman dressed in luxurious clothes mused in annoyance while gazing at the beautifully decorated auditorium.
¡°Li Xin, are you envious? If Bai Chuanqi doesn¡¯t favor his own disciple, should he favor you?¡± Hearing Li Xin¡¯s words, another man couldn¡¯t help but snicker, ¡°If you¡¯re not convinced, challenge Bai Qi when he arrives. However, remember, he topped the joint city examination.¡±
Li Xin tweaked the corners of his mouth, ¡°Well, it¡¯s just the joint examination of Gusu City and Lingxi City. I¡¯m the top scorer of Jinlin City. The weight of my achievements isn¡¯t something you guys from small cities canpare with.¡±
Li Xin¡¯s words immediately attracted angry nces from many people around. But considering his strength, they had to grit their teeth and endure.
Seeing this, Deng E shrugged, toozy to argue with Li Xin anymore. He turned towards Lu Yuan, who was silent and detached from their argument, ¡°Lu Yuan, you participated in the same career examination as Bai Qi, right? Tell us, what¡¯s his actual strength like?¡±
Lu Yuan¡¯s face froze, ¡°You can try challenging him yourself to find out.¡±
The strength of Bai Qi? Would they believe him if he told them that his Lord-level Dark me Tiger King couldn¡¯t even handle six senior elites?
He¡¯d believe that, but the others certainly won¡¯t.
The Wu Hou Dojo students, who had watched the match that day, seemed to share his sentiments. But this time, they silently chose not to share the match results. Instead, they decided to privately digest it.
How could they share the beast that defeated a Lord-level beast beyond its ss?
¡°Huh, there are so many people?¡±
As the students waited with their own thoughts, Bai Qi had arrived backstage.
Looking at the bustling crowd below, Bai Qi was mildly surprised.
¡°Schuck, did you prepare reliable courseware?¡±
I initially thought I was only teaching a ss, but everyone turned up. I wasn¡¯t sure if Schuck¡¯s courseware was up to par.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, it will definitely give these guys an eye-opener.¡±
Hearing Schuck¡¯s reassurance, Bai Qi finally heaved a sigh of relief. He stored the courseware in the backstage smart brain. Once the receipt was confirmed, he tidied up his outfit before walking towards the front stage.
The moment Bai Qi appeared, the auditorium fell silent, all the gazes focused on him.
There was scrutiny, curiosity, contempt, yet most of the looks were admiring.
Most of them were students from Gusu City and naturally admired Bai Qi, their senior who had triumphed over the elites from Lingxi City. As for whether the research was actually Bai Qi¡¯s own, it was no longer important.
¡°Hey, hey, hey. Can you hear me?¡±
Being locked on by so many gazes, Bai Qi let out a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then began to speak.
¡°It¡¯s my first time teaching others, but I guess you don¡¯t want to hear me ramble, so let¡¯s get straight to the point.¡±
In a concise manner, Bai Qi went straight to the point and signaled the backstage to start ying the courseware.
For today¡¯s lecture, Schuck stayed up all night, not until Bai Qi left in the morning that he handed over the finished product. Bai Qi hadn¡¯t even nced through the content, but he assumed it wouldn¡¯t be too bad.
¡°What is the Undead?!¡±
The beginning of the courseware was a loud question that left the students stunned, then they began to ponder.
Is Bai Qi testing us with such an open-ended question?
Thinking about this, everyone began to furiously rummage through their knowledge, organizing and summarizing it, ready to face Bai Qi¡¯s uing questions.
Seeing this scenario, Bai Qi satisfiedly nodded his head.
The smart brain even matched the sound, making thezy Bai Qi very satisfied.
Soon, before the students could suffice an answer, the stage projected holographic images of several creatures.
Next, these creatures began to age, die, decay, until only a bleached skeleton remained.
Meanwhile, wavy shadows began to gradually erode the bone. The bone was either ignited with the Fire of Soul or from the bone wafted out wisps of soul, roaming in the wilderness.
¡°The so-called Undead are entirely new creatures transformed from the bodies of creatures eroded by the power of shadow. They¡¯re dead yet existing in this world in a different form of life.¡±
Once these words left his mouth, there was a murmur from the crowd before it erupted into a thunderous apuse.
Although the Undead Department had gained poprity due to Bai Heguang, there were still many voices of rejection within the Federation.
Undead Catastrophe, desecration of the deceased, impure creatures, the greatest enemy of the living¡
All these rumors intended to pitch the Undead Department against humans, actually against all flesh and blood beings.
But Bai Qi¡¯s opening wordspletely refuted the definition that the Undead were the revived dead. Instead, he ced it in the position of apletely new life.
If this idea could be generalized, the Federation would no longer hold different views towards the Undead Department, right?
Looking at the fervor below, Bai Qipletely let go of his concerns and began tozily scroll through his tablet in a secluded corner.
A ss was only forty minutes long. By the time they finished watching the courseware, the time would be nearly up. He could just wrap things up then.
Seemingly predicting the audience¡¯s reaction, the courseware created by Schuck paused for a bit. Once the audience quieted down, it continued the exnation.
¡°Compared to the integrated spirit and flesh of flesh creatures, the structure of the Undead Department¡¯s two branches, skeleton, and soul, are much simpler and purer.¡±
¡°For instance, the Skeletal Type, aside from the Fire of Soul that serves as the control core, the entire body of bones is merely used as the carrier to deliver the soul signal. The Soul Race, as a pure spiritual entity, is even more so.¡± ¡°Therefore, to maximize the capabilities of the Undead Department, one must scrutinize them scientifically.¡±
¡°Scientific bone structure, rational spirit power distribution, one can even merge them with mechanical creations topensate for the weakness of the Undead Department¡¡±
The courseware stopped abruptly in the middle, not because of someone else, but Bai Qi who was originally enjoying hiszy time.
¡°Ahem, we¡¯ve gone slightly off-topic. Pretend you didn¡¯t hear anything.¡±
As expected, even as part of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Schuck couldn¡¯t escape the influence of his Husky consciousness. To openly include the Mechanical Engineering private goods in the Undead course, was he trying to ruin him?
Suddenly, he felt it was a good thing that the teachers didn¡¯te.
In a hidden room in the auditorium.
Watching Bai Qi, who looked embarrassed as he cut off the courseware, Duanmeng said speechlessly, ¡°This kid dared to talk about the Mechanical Engineering Department during such a major lecture?¡±
¡°It¡¯s normal. Bai Qi is originally from the Mechanical Engineering Department after all. Most of his achievements are still based on mechanical engineering. It¡¯s normal to incorporate some knowledge of the Mechanical Engineering Department.¡±
Bai Heguang casuallymented, but his eyes no longer held the impatience he had when he saw Bai Qi randomly modifying Alpha.
Although subconsciously he disliked these mischievous people because of someone¡¯s influence, he had to admit that either Rune Evolution or Spirit- Control Orb had something to do with Bai Qi¡¯s initial mechanical thinking.
At least, the development of the Undead Department was soon catching up to the efforts of his many years.
Chapter 275 - 271: The Big Deception-
Chapter 275: Chapter 271: The Big Deception-
Seeing that Bai Heguang didn¡¯t reprimand Bai Qi for his earlier actions, Duanmeng was quite surprised, but considering Bai Qi¡¯s recent behavior, he chose not to dwell on it.
Having such a mischievous disciple around, it¡¯s no wonder anyone¡¯s nerves would be tested.
¡°But there are quite a few traditional Beast Masters among the freshmen, Bai Qi¡¯s words just now are likely to provoke their resentment.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, they are just students who haven¡¯t had any real-world experiences yet. Bai Qj can handle them.¡±
Bai Heguang nced at Bai Qi, who had run backstage to check the courseware, and then turned to Duanmeng. ¡°I will likely be away for a while this time, and I¡¯m leaving Qiu Cha and Bai Qi in your care.¡±
Duanmeng nodded, saying, ¡°Take care, Bai Chuanqi. We¡¯ll handle things here.¡± As honorary dean, Bai Heguang technically didn¡¯t have to manage things personally, but his nature couldn¡¯t allow him to simply hold a nominal position. Thus, amidst his busy schedule, Bai Heguang returned to the Undead Department to deal with some core business.
Of course, one of the reasons might have been to check on Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha.
Upon hearing Duanmeng¡¯s words, Bai Heguang nodded slightly, then quickly left the room.
¡°To see Bai Chuanqi take such interest, Bai Qi really is a fortunate fellow¡¡±
Watching Bai Qi, who had returned to the front desk, Duanmeng couldn¡¯t help butment, then returned to observing the proceedings.
¡°Cough cough, due to some force majeure, the courseware I was just preparing can¡¯t be presented now. I apologize, everybody.¡±
After confirming the content of the courseware, Bai Qipletely gave up on his n to ck off and had no choice but to step up.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to ck off, it was that the number of ¡°valuable takeaways¡± in Schuck¡¯s courseware was too overwhelming.
¡°Metal Framework of Skeletal Beings¡±, ¡°Physical Combination of Multi ¨C headed Skeletal Beings¡±, ¡°Feasibility of Hosting Intelligent Brains in Undead Spirits¡±¡
All kinds of bizarre ideas kept emerging, and Bai Qi had every reason to suspect that Schuck had thought about this for a long time.
However, that wasn¡¯t the point. While the content did involve mechanical modifications to the Undead Department, and indeed demonstrated considerable feasibility, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t continue reading after seeing a string of Buddhist terms in thetter part.
Without a doubt, this part was definitely prepared by Beta, the fool.
Promoting Buddhism in the Beast Master World, he didn¡¯t want to be arrested as the leader of a cult.
¡°Sir Bai, it should be fine for me to call you that, right?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi in such an awkward position, Li Xin, who already had some preconceptions about Bai Qi, stood up. ¡°You just said that the Undead Department is a brand new kind of being, which I agree with. But when you said we shouldbine the Undead with machinery, I can¡¯t agree with that.¡± Hearing Li Xin¡¯s words, Bai Qi sighed.
As expected, he¡¯d run into a critic.
¡°And how do you think it should be done?¡±
However, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t angry but looked at Li Xin calmly.
¡°The Undead are the Undead, the bearers of the Shadow Department¡¯s power. Whether they are skeletons or spirit creatures, they are born from the shadow. Random alterations will only make them drift away from the Shadow Department Power, leading to them bing neither one thing nor the other.¡± Li Xin¡¯s words resonated with many, and even those who had somewhat supported Bai Qi now looked at him skeptically, all wanting to see what exnation he would offer.
¡°You¡¯re correct in saying that the Shadow Department Power indeed is the core of the Undead Department, a point I believe I covered in my presentation.¡± With a faint smile, Bai Qi continued, ¡°As for your talk of ¡®random alterations¡¯, I¡¯d like to ask, have you ever used Rune Evolution?¡±
Li Xin frowned slightly, unsure of why Bai Qi was suddenly bringing up Rune Evolution at this time, but he nodded, ¡°Rune Evolution is a distinctive product of the Undead Department, so yes, and I have sessfullypleted the Second Stage Evolution.¡±
¡°Then do you know that the thinking approach of Second Stage Evolution is originated from the Mechanical Engineering Department?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Li Xin instinctively wanted to mock Bai Qi.
A Rune and machinery are bothpletely different, iming that the methodology of Rune Evolutiones from the Mechanical Engineering Department, was he trying to fool me?
Fortunately, before Li Xin had blurted out his words, he remembered.
The person standing in front of him, the one spouting all this nonsense, was the founder of Rune Evolution, wasn¡¯t he?
Seeing Li Xin¡¯s indecisive manner, Bai Qiughed and continued, ¡°I bet many of you here have used Rune Evolution or Rune Tier 2 Evolution, but have you ever thought about the principles behind it?¡±
The crowdpsed into silence at his words. While they were curious about Rune Evolution, the requirement of having to also study runeology deterred most from diving in deeper. As for the underlying principles, absolutely no thought was given to that.
Bai Qi wasn¡¯t surprised at the reaction. He snapped his fingers and the backstage staff immediately brought a skeletal soldier onto the stage.
Due to the course¡¯s requirements, skeletal soldiers were almost essential for every ss. They were well-prepared for it.
Bai Qi brought the skeletal soldier in front of Li Xin, nced at the name tag on Li Xin¡¯s school uniform, and asked, ¡°Li Xin, if I had a contract with a skeletal soldier, how would you train it?¡±
Li Xin paused for a moment and said, ¡°The level of the skeletal soldier is too low, there¡¯s no need to train it. If you must train, you could ce it in an area abundant with shadow department power to enhance its potential and increase the possibility of evolution.¡±
¡°A very standard answer, but unfortunately, it¡¯s wrong,¡± Bai Qi said.
Bai Qi shookhis head and replied, ¡°Exactly as you said, the level of the skeletal soldier is too low, there¡¯s indeed no need to train it. But the ones who would make a contract with a skeletal soldier, disregard some special cases, are usually with poor family conditions. Do you think these families could afford to soak the skeletal soldier in shadow department power?¡±
Li Xin was speechless at Bai Qi¡¯s argument but remained unconvinced.
Beast Mastery wasn¡¯t a profession that ordinary people could afford to get into. If they couldn¡¯t afford the initial resources, they wouldn¡¯t even think about theter stages.
Li Xin¡¯s judgment was clouded by his personal emotions, but Deng E below was able to discern some implications.
Was rune evolution created to assist those with rtively poorer conditions? It was no wonder Bai Qi, despite being the same age, had reached such a stage. This level was indeed beyond their reach.
Sure enough, after seeing the disgruntled look on Li Xin¡¯s face, Bai Qi showed a triumphant smile. He walked over to the skeletal soldier and said, ¡°This skeletal soldier has strong bones, so it is more suitable for defense or closebat training. As long as the appropriate runes are added in the right ces to promote evolution, it can have a certainbat power.¡±
¡°Only when the beast master gains somebat power can he rely on the skeletal soldier to obtain more resources to improve himself. Li Xin, what do you think?¡±
Li Xin pursed his lips and said, ¡°All in all, we still need evolution. Not everyone can learn rune evolution.¡±
¡°No, no, no, second stage evolution might be difficult, but most people should be able to master first stage evolution on their own.¡±
As he spoke, Bai Qi took out a rune engraving knife and quickly engraved a steel rune on the spine of the skeletal soldier. He then took the homogeneous material the staff had brought and ced it on top, and the skeletal soldier immediately evolved into a steel skull, a steel type creature.
¡°You all saw that the entire evolution process did not exceed five minutes, and the rune patterns I carved have already been made public by my team. As for this secondary material, I assume those present wouldn¡¯t even nce at it usually, right?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the crowd and said, ¡°Learning the entire rune system might be a lot of pressure, but I believe it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you all to learn just one direction, right?¡±
The spectators that heard this fell silent. Indeed, if they just specialized in one direction, then not just them, many people could do it. The act of engraving oneself wasn¡¯t a big problem either.
¡°But how does that help? It¡¯s still just a servant.¡± Li Xin still refused to admit defeat.
Bai Qi wasn¡¯t bothered by this. He continued to engrave along the previous rune. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, aplete second-stage evolution structure appeared on the steel skull. As the spirit power storage device outputted, the Steel Skull evolved again, but this time it didn¡¯t turn into a golden armor corpse, it became a steel warrior of the same level.
Upon seeing Bai Qi¡¯s proficient operation, those who had previously doubted him gradually dismissed their skepticism and instead began to recognize Bai Qi. Thisplex structure, even the teachers responsible for helping with evolution couldn¡¯t draw it so smoothly. Perhaps second stage evolution was indeed Bai Qi¡¯s creation.
¡°Now I already have an elite creature. Can 1 earn the resources needed for its further development?¡± Bai Qi asked.
Li Xin fell silent and didn¡¯t continue to dispute.
Though Lord-level creatures were the core strength of a beast master, an elite creature had more than enough capability to earn some cultivation resources. At least at their current level, it was sufficient.
¡°I know many of you have Lord-level creatures and aren¡¯t interested in elite ones, but you should know that most Beast Masters can¡¯t train all their pets, and since there weren¡¯t many choices at the beginning, many beast masters¡¯ main pets aren¡¯t their first ones.¡±
¡°If so, why would you fuss over the first pet? If you raise your pet with minimal costs and then earn enough resources, you are qualified to choose a stronger pet.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi said this, the crowd erupted in apuse.
Whether it was Bai Qi¡¯s performance in rune drawing or his distinctive exnation of beast mastery, it was refreshing for them. They started to forget that Bai Qi was a student and slowly began to regard him as a teacher.
I suppose I¡¯ve managed to trick them¡
Bai Qi looked at the sincerely convinced students and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved that he was able to trick them. Now, teaching would be more rxed in the future.
¡°But this still does not exin thebination of machinery and undead that you mentioned earlier, Sir Bai. Rune evolution merely references some thinking.¡±
Seeing himself bing a clown, Li Xin gritted his teeth and brought back the question that Bai Qi had conveniently forgotten.
¡°You want to see thebination of the undead and machinery?¡±
Bai Qi looked helplessly at Li Xin. He had hoped to trick them into forgetting these things. It seemed that he couldn¡¯t get away with it without some solid evidence. As for the teacher¡¯s side, he would find a way to exin itter. ¡°Schuck,e and assemble the Andulu Beast!¡±
Chapter 276 - 272: Even the Pampered Beasts Are So Cunning?
Chapter 276: Chapter 272: Even the Pampered Beasts Are So Cunning?
Undead Department.
A minor battlefield in the lecture hall.
Studiously, Li Xin regarded the Steel Skull in front of him, d in a full suit of armor¡ªit was all yet too much for him to ept.
Just moments ago, he had been soundly beaten by a mere Skeleton soldier that had temporarily evolved by having only some small mechanical armor installed. Even though it wasn¡¯t a main pet, it had still inflicted considerable damage on him.
If a few simple modifications could surpass the pets they¡¯d put so much effort into cultivating, then what was the point of all their hard work?
¡°Cough, cough¡¡±
Seeing the atmosphere had charged up, Bai Qi lightly coughed twice, drawing everyone¡¯s attention to himself.
¡°I think everyone here must undoubtedly be wondering the same thing¡ªI know because once I thought that way myself,¡±
Bai Qi paused for a moment, and then summoned Alpha. The pet¡¯s impressive appearance,bined with its kingly, powerful presence, immediately caught everyone¡¯s eye in the room.
¡°Those who know me well must be aware that my main pet, ¡®Alpha¡¯, also advanced from a servant-level pet. Now, can you see any mechanical constructs on Alpha¡¯s body?¡±
The crowd shook their heads. Although they could feel the presence of different elements on Alpha, the most prominent was the dense power of the Shadow Department. Not even a hint of anything mechanical was to be seen.
¡°But, in the early days of my Beast Master journey, it was through appropriate mechanical modifications that Alpha managed to stand out among a sea of pets and got to where it is now,¡±
¡°This is something that the Beast Masters of Gusu City should have heard of.¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, many students from Gusu City were vigorously nodding their heads in agreement.
Quite a few of them had seen Alpha¡¯s battles within the Beast Masters¡¯ Association. It indeed had mechanical modifications, butter as Alpha became stronger, these became fewer and fewer.
¡°Of course, I am not advocating that everybody should go out and learn about the Mechanical Engineering department. I am simply offering a perspective; be it runes, mechanics, or something else, they are all merely supplementary, and can only serve as auxiliary means to help everyone through the early stages more smoothly.¡±
At this point, Bai Qi paused, then continued: ¡°My master, the Undead Department¡¯s Titled Legendary ¡®Celestial Brilliance¡¯, once said to me that death and darkness are the main themes of the undead, but a few appropriate embellishments can indeed have quite a significant enhancing effect.¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s words, whether it was Li Xin on the stage or the others below, all werepletely convinced by him, and it sparked off some different thoughts in their minds.
Perhaps they could also try pulling some stunts?
¡°Phew- Finally managed to bluff my way through. Now the problem is whether I¡¯ll be caught and killedter.¡±
Bai Qi quietly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Indeed, the first part of hisst sentence was Celestial Brilliance¡¯s original words, but thest part was something he¡¯dpletely added on his own.
But he had even brought up the ¡®Anduru Beast¡¯, so one phrase or half-phrases more wouldn¡¯t matter. Moreover, in the end, he had also forcefully brought things full circle.
¡°Sir Bai, thank you for your instruction. I was too arrogant before.¡±
After a moment¡¯s silence, Li Xin suddenly stood up and deeply bowed to Bai Qi. Gone were any doubts from before; they were reced with limitless admiration.
No wonder Bai Chuanqi had exceptionally taken him as a disciple. Indeed, Bai Qi had the qualifications and capability. Comparatively, he who had always prided himself as a genius, felt no different from a firefly.
¡°Your persistence wasn¡¯t wrong either. Indeed, the power of Shadow is the core strength of the Undead creatures. You just need to be a bit more flexible.¡±
¡°I understand!¡±
Li Xin responded loudly, then returned to his seat, thoroughly convinced. Bai Qi, under the gaze of everyone, hastily left.
He hadpleted his task, and to stay here longer would be nothing more than inviting trouble.
¡°It seems that you¡¯re quite suited to this new identity. However, your remarks just now are likely to invite criticism from some of the old-timers.¡±
Just as Bai Qi was about to take a stroll to the Mechanical Martial Department, Master Duan suddenly appeared behind him like a shadow.
¡°Master Duan, you¡¯re here too?¡±
Seeing Duanmeng unexpectedly show up, Bai Qi¡¯s heart missed a beat,menting, ¡°And the master? Hopefully he¡¯s not here, right?¡±
Duanmeng nodded, ¡°Of course, he¡¯s here.¡±
Oh no, I¡¯m done.
Bai Qi felt a sudden darkening before his eyes. If Bai Heguang wasn¡¯t here, he could still figure out a way to bluff his way throughter. But now, he was thinking, he was probably done for.
¡°However, Bai Chuanqi left halfway due to some urgent matter.¡±
At Duanmeng¡¯s words, Bai Qi immediately regained his spirits and gave Duanmeng a look of exasperation.
Boss, could you please not pause so much when you speak next time? It almost scared me to death!
Seeing Bai Qi like this, even Duanmeng, who always had a straight face, couldn¡¯t help but crack a smile,menting, ¡°What you said wasn¡¯t entirely unreasonable. If the Undead Department wants to shake off the infamous title of the ¡®Undead Catastrophe¡¯, integrating other systems is indeed a good method.¡±
Saying this, a dangerous glint shed across Duanmeng¡¯s eyes, continuing, ¡°But, Bai Qi, do you have some resentment towards the Soul Race? This Second Stage Evolution doesn¡¯t incorporate any elements from the Soul Race, does it?¡±¡±
Er, Boss, weren¡¯ t you also a member of the specialized group? Why are you throwing the me onto me?
¡°Ah, I¡¯ll continue to work hard.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and agreed reluctantly.
The discovery of Rune Tier 2 evolution was only an idental gain from his research on the general terracotta. With the Soul Race and Skeletal Type differing so much in form, it was justifiable for it to undergo the second stage evolution, but it really was a bit too much to ask of him.
Let¡¯s just see if I¡¯ll have time for it at ater date.
Thinking of the pile of unresolved topics he had on hand, Bai Qi felt a chill run up his spine. Silently, he put the Second Stage Evolution of the Soul Race at the very bottom of his list.
Having gotten rid of Duanmeng, Bai Qi no longer felt like hanging out at the Mechanical Engineering Department, so he went straight home.
After messing around all night, the instruments his parents had helped him buy should be almost assembled, perfect time to familiarize himself with them. Secret Realm Base.
As soon as Bai Qi entered the Secret Realm, he noticed a brand new building next to the original Secret Realm Base.
¡°Thismotion, it¡¯s big¡¡±
Looking at Husky, who was directing the Six Sword Servants to perform the final overhaul, Bai Qi smacked his lips, walked over, and asked, ¡°Is this building used to store all the instruments?¡±
Schuck nodded and said, ¡°Yes, these instruments are veryprehensive and serve different purposes. To avoid confusion, I made some divisions.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi understood. Since Schuck had merged with the mechanical engineering seed, hisputing power was increasing daily. He could undoubtedly master thisplex task.
¡°By the way, what¡¯s with the lesson n! Why does it contain Buddhist scripture?¡±
Schuck didn¡¯t answer, but he nced at Beta, who looked guilty. The meaning was clear.
Awoo awoo!
(Humans, you wouldn¡¯t understand, the Undead Department is full of yin energy, which is harmful to your health. Learning some Buddhist scripture is good for warding off evil!)
Bang!
Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but have a vein pop up on his forehead. He punched Beta on the head, saying, ¡°Warding off evil? Be careful, or I¡¯ll cook you in a hot pot one day!¡±
Awoo!
(Human, I¡¯m so cute. How can you bear to eat me!)
Looking at Beta¡¯s goofiness, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t be bothered to banter further. He turned to Schuck and asked, ¡°Have all the biology knowledge been input? I want to check it out.¡±
Although the instruments were in ce, Bai Qi¡¯s knowledge in biology was practically zero. He needed to take some time to learn it.
¡°They¡¯ve been put into the brain. Delta is looking at them now. You can go find him,¡± Schuckreplied.
¡°Delta?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised.
¡°Yes, Delta said that he has evolved into so many forms that he needs to learn some biology to fully utilize these forms¡¯ abilities. He started studyingst night.¡±
Schuck nodded, ¡°Beast Master, is there anything else? If not, I will go first. I have a few more issues to resolve.¡±
¡°Oh, alright, go ahead.¡±
Bai Qi nodded somewhat nkly, mechanically heading towards the Biology Building. On the way, he spotted Alpha leading the Six Sword Servants in rune carving practice.
Seeing the serious faces of Alpha and the Six Sword Servants, Bai Qi decided to check on Gamma¡¯s status through the contract, somewhat speechless.
Thankfully, at least one of them was behaving normally.
Bai Qi nodded at Gamma, who was enjoying his meal as usual. He was about to withdraw when he noticed that Gamma¡¯s food was different than before.
¡°Since when did Gamma start ting his food?¡±
Bai Qi took out his phone and turned on the surveince camera at Gamma¡¯s location. He was shocked to find a thick cookbook next to Gamma, next to which was a full set of kitchen utensils.
¡°I¡¯m certain Nichs influenced him¡¡±
Remembering how Gamma spent a lot of time with Nichs every time he went to the Green Dragon Secret Realm, Bai Qi put two and two together quickly.
So, he went to learn to be a chef.
¡°All of them¡are indeed like their Beast Master, as excellent as me¡¡±
Bai Qi wore a gratified expression and stopped paying attention to his four pets¡¯ behaviors. He stepped into the Biology Building quickly.
Just as Schuck said, Delta was diligently studying the biology knowledge that Bai Yan had prepared, oblivious to Bai Qi¡¯s arrival.
¡°Delta, how¡¯s the studying going?¡±
Blub blub blub.
(Master, you¡¯re here. Delta¡¯s a bit slow in learning, but Delta will try hard.)
Bai Qi nodded, sat down next to Delta, and began studying.
To make Bai Qi¡¯s studies easier, Bai Yan included apanying holographic teaching. It was almost identical to a live lecture, there was just one problem once he understood the contents. Bai Qi was stumped.
¡°Biological genes are extremely numerous, but each individual organism adjusts their gicbinations ording to external circumstances. What we can do, is to intervene with these genes¡¡±
The basics of biology start with genes these days?
And gene interference, is that really for a beginner to learn?
Bai Qi went to the brain and opened it to look. To his surprise, Delta was studying advanced gics.
Are even pets this academically driven these days?
Chapter 277 - 273: The Walking Dead
Chapter 277: Chapter 273: The Walking Dead
Bai Qi paused his lecture and said, ¡°Ahem, Delta, there might be a problem with the order in which you¡¯ re studying. How about we start from the beginning?¡± Blurp, blurp?
(Start from the beginning? But Delta has finished everything, hasn¡¯t he?)
Bai Qi: ¡°¡¡±
Could it be that more evolution actually improves biology learning? It was just overnight, wasn¡¯t it?
¡°Are you sure you¡¯vepleted all the basics of Biology?¡±
Delta tilted his head in thought for a long time and then shook it.
Blurp, blurp.
(It seems Delta has only studied the basics of gics; he hasn¡¯t studied the rest yet. Delta will go right now to study.)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. He fiddled with his smart brain for a while and indeed found that his father had divided the study materials into more than ten major categories, with gics being one of them.
Even so, the basic disciplines of gics consisted of seven or eight subjects. How could Delta manage to finish studying them all in one night?
Should he praise his father for his thorough organization or say that Delta is exceptionally gifted?
¡°Forget it, you continue studying at your pace for now. I¡¯m going to check something on the side.¡±
Bai Qi made another copy of the material, found an empty office, and started studying.
Because of the existence of special life forms like pets, the biology here was obviously much moreplicated than the biology of Bai Qi¡¯s previous life, and there were clearly many more ssifications.
However, after quickly flipping through for a while, Bai Qi still found amon point.
Survival of the fittest.
Regardless of the era, living organisms will slowly evolve into forms suitable for the current environmental conditions, even those legendary creatures with lifespans of thousands of years cannot avoid it.
And what they¡¯repeting for is actually genes.
¡°So, in simple terms, the process of biological evolution is actually constantly searching for more powerful gene sequencebinations?¡±
Bai Qi stroked his chin, thinking. If this exnation was also applicable to pets, was his Evolution Egg actually enhancing gene sequences and forcefully inserting new genes?
If that really was the case, then the magical operation of the Evolution Egg was not impossible to replicate.
But envisioning such a thing took a lot of time, so he put it aside for the time being.
Bai Qi packed up the content of gics and began to look at cell biology again.
Even though he hadn¡¯t started detailed research, the issue of Schuckand Beta¡¯s mechanical flesh fusion definitely had something to do with cell biology. That¡¯s why Bai Qi nned to study cell biology first.
¡°A new beginning, huh~¡±
Ding Dong! Ding Dong!¡
A series of doorbell rings interrupted Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts. Bai Qi then halted the teaching projection and headed to the door.
¡°I shouldn¡¯t have sses on both sides today. Who woulde to see me at this time?¡±
Afterpleting his first lesson in life two weeks ago, Bai Qi always maintained a regimented routine ¨C teaching in the Undead Department, attending lectures in the Technical Weaponry Major Department, and bustling like crazy with the four pets in the Secret Realm Base.
Although it was somewhat monotonous, it was extraordinarily fulfilling.
Bai Qi opened the front door and was a bit surprised to see who was knocking.
¡°Brother Gao, what brings you here?¡±
Gao Cheng smiled slightly, ¡°Why, can¡¯t I visit?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and led Gao Cheng into the house, ¡°So, Brother Gao, have you also joined the association now?¡±
Even though Bai Qi didn¡¯t usually wear it, he could still recognize the association member¡¯s badge.
Gao Cheng nodded, ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t really have any talent for cultural subjects, so I decided to be a full-fledged Beast Master.¡±
¡°That¡¯s also good. You have rich experience in field practice Brother Gao. It¡¯s pretty good to be a professional Beast Master.¡±
¡°Not at all, the pressure isn¡¯t any less for a professional Beast Master now.¡±
Gao Cheng showed a bitter smile, ¡°I think you have heard, recently, ferocious beasts in the wild have been excessively active, causing a lot of trouble for the association. Professional Beast Masters are almost all busy.¡±
Ferocious beasts are active in the wild?
It seems the teacher mentioned it, seemed like he was even asked to go to Old Qin¡¯s ce to help out more often. He was immersed in his studies so much that hepletely forgot about it.
Remembering this, Bai Qi looked suspiciously at Gao Cheng, ¡°Brother Gao, you didn¡¯te here because President Qin¡ President Qin sent you, did you?¡±
Gao Cheng nodded, ¡°Yes, I justpleted a mission and ran into the president. The president asked me toe and find you.¡±
¡°The association is indeed short of manpower recently. Bai Qi, if you are free, try to take up a few more tasks. The rewards are still good.¡±
Reward? It seems like a distant thing.
Bai Qi was somewhat disheartened. Thinking about the bnce in his Federation Card, he felt even less motivated.
Making money? Where can it be asfortable as staying home and lying down?
Upon seeing Bai Qi in this state, Gao Cheng shook his head and said, ¡°Just as the President mentioned, it really seems that you¡¯re not in need of money anymore.¡±
¡°The President said that your grades for the third phase are all in his hands, so¡¡±
Before Gao Cheng could finish, Bai Qi suddenly jumped up and spoke solemnly, ¡°The duty of a Beast Master is to protect the Federation from the attacks of ferocious beasts. Reward or such is not important. Let¡¯s go.¡±
He was still thinking about exchanging a mythical resource with the points from the third phase. If it went wrong here, the remaining points would be wasted.
Gao Cheng couldn¡¯t help butugh at this and hurriedly followed him.
Now that the task assigned by the President waspleted, everything else didn¡¯t matter.
The Beast Master Association.
Gao Cheng climbed down from the back of the Wind God Winged Dragon and, looking at Delta, who had suddenly transformed back into an Ancestral Beast, his face was full of surprise.
¡°Bai Qi, is this an Ancestral Beast?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s just that Delta is a little special.¡±
Just a little special? Really?
Gao Cheng suddenly felt the gap between him and Bai Qi growing. He remembered how Lu Yuan had looked when he met him some days ago and suddenly understood. Lu Yuan must have felt the impact of Bai Qi.
The two men entered the association together and President Qin, who seemed to have known that Bai Qi woulde, was already waiting in the mission hall. ¡°Oh, our Professor Bai is finally willing to go out?¡±
As soon as President Qin saw Bai Qi, he immediately became irritated, ¡°I thought someone was nning to join the academy like that.¡±
Good lord, was Old Qin revealing his vindictive nature?
It made sense though. There¡¯s no way he would be forgiving, especially since he had been arguing with Xiao Chuanqi for a lifetime.
Despite theints, Bai Qi managed a smile and said, ¡°President, you misunderstood. I was worried about losing face for the association, so I have been reading diligently, preparing lecture materials every day.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, President Qin looked somewhat pleased.
Although he didn¡¯t attend the sses, from what he knew, Bai Qi¡¯s teaching style was highly praised, and almost every ss was packed. It seemed like he really was putting in effort.
¡°Forget about all that. I brought you here because I wanted you to inspect a ce.¡±
President Qin handed a mission board to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Some strange events have been happening in a valley at our border with Langya City. Not only Beast Masters who identally venture near there, but also ferocious beasts that enter have not returned. We initially spected that some undead creatures might be operating there, so I want you to take a look.¡±
¡°Since this is just an inspection, it¡¯s best if you go alone. You don¡¯t need to venture in too far, just make sure to retreat in time if you encounter any danger.¡±
The disappearance of humans and beasts sounded very dangerous.
Bai Qi licked his lips and said, ¡°President, if Iplete such a dangerous task, the points¡¡±
President Qin rolled his eyes upon hearing his words and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you will be rewarded ordingly.¡±
¡°Okay, then I will inform the academy and set off.¡±
Bai Qi quickly signed his name on the mission board, took out his phone and sent several messages. Then he rode on the Wind God Winged Dragon and headed straight for the destination.
His efficiency made even the self-proimed efficient Gao Cheng start doubting his life.
¡°Gao Cheng, you¡¯ve been on missions quite frequentlytely. Take a good rest for a few days. You cannot be a professional Beast Master just by being diligent.¡±
President Qin patted Gao Cheng¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°When you have time, you can chat with Bai Qi. It will be helpful for your future development.¡±
¡°I understand, thank you, Mr. President.¡±
Gao Cheng nodded, thinking of the recent rumors about Bai Qi, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to learn, but that he simply could not.
Outside of Gusu City.
Once they were out of the monitoring range of the snare, Delta fully increased its speed. Therge wings of the Wind God Winged Dragon not only provided it with strong wind control abilities, but also extremely high-speed flight.
Of course, most importantly, Delta had the handy skill of Void Echo.
If anyone had been present, they would have seen that the Wind God Winged Dragon, transformed by Delta, disappeared for a while every time it flew a certain distance. When it reappeared, it was already far away.
Perhaps because of its recent intense study, Delta had be more proficient in controlling its own abilities as well as its three forms, even being able to use the characteristics of Void Echo to travel short distances across space.
Bai Qi believed that once Delta¡¯s skill proficiency and Double Level improved, long-distance teleportation was inevitable.
¡°But the ce the president mentioned is really far away. We¡¯ve been flying for so long and we¡¯re not even there yet.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the location indicated on the mission board and leaned out to look around.
¡°Hm? Delta, stop for a moment.¡±
Bai Qi asked Delta to stop, took out a telescope to look down, and frowned.
On the in below him, one beast after another was wandering around like zombies. He could vaguely see a few human figures. These must be the missing Beast Masters that President Qin had mentioned.
¡°It seems we have arrived. Judging by the situation, have all these been transformed into zombies?¡±
Bai Qi put away the mission board and instructed Delta to descend slowly.
If there were creatures that could transform others into zombies, they should be at least high-grade lords, or possibly even king-level creatures. It would be inappropriate to continue moving forward so ostentatiously.
Chapter 278 - 274: Infinite Horror
Chapter 278: Chapter 274: Infinite Horror
Bai Qi directed Delta tond in a concealed location and subsequently summoned his remaining three pets.
His task this time was to conduct reconnaissance, so there was no need to provoke unnecessary attention. Therefore, Husky was the best choice. However, considering there might be King-level creatures inside, it would be better to bring Alpha along.
As for Gamma, it was, of course, for the purpose of self-defense. Awuuuu?
(Are they sleepwalking?)
Beta looked around, observing the ferocious beasts wandering like zombies, feeling somewhat puzzled.
¡°Sleepwalking, not zombies right?¡±
Zombies, although also part of the Undead Department, were generally of Carrion System. They uncontrobly emitted poisonous gases, meaning almost no Undead Beast Master would choose to contract with a zombie.
After all, one might be poisoned to death by their pet zombie before even defeating the enemy.
¡°It should not be. My life-detection device shows that although their vital signs are weak, they are still stable and indeed dreaming.¡±
Having scanned, Schuck came to a conclusion, saying, ¡°Although it¡¯s unclear why they are sleepwalking, I rmend that you, Beast Master, be cautious.¡± Bai Qi nodded, took the anti-poison helmet from Schuck, put it on, ced Gamma on his shoulder, and then carefully moved forward into the valley on Delta.
The creatures wandering on the outskirts were all low-level, so they did not sense the approach of Bai Qi and his pets. Bai Qi even found time to have Alpha transport several dazed humans to a safe area outside.
However, as they moved closer to the valley, the double-level of the ferocious beasts gradually increased. Although they did not wake up, they instinctively attacked Bai Qi and his team.
¡°Alpha, be a bit restrained.¡±
Looking at the many ferocious beasts crowding around them due to the approaching noise, Bai Qi sighed helplessly and signaled for Alpha to handle them swiftly.
Craack. Craack.
(No problem.)
Alpha nodded, disappeared in a sh, and the surrounding ferocious beasts copsed in rapid session, with absolutely no chance to resist.
Kaplooey. Kaplooey.
(So many materials, we must not waste them.)
After Alpha eliminated the enemies, Gamma conscientiously released several tentacles to pull the dead bodies of the beasts back and promptly threw them into the Secret Realm Base.
Recently obsessed with cooking, it naturally could not pass up such fresh ingredients.
Awuuu?
(What smell is this? It¡¯s so fragrant.)
At that moment, Beta suddenly stopped and took a sniff. It felt a captivating fragrance wafting over and couldn¡¯t resist taking a few more deep breaths. Subsequently, Beta fell asleep right then and there.
Zizzzz¡
Seeing Beta in this state, Schuck helplessly shook its head and directly woke it up with a strong electric shock.
ording to the analysis, theposition of this fragrance has a 57% simrity with the Dream Vine Flower Powder. The remaining ingredients are unknown for now, but it also has a hypnotic hallucinogenic effect.¡± Schuckcoldly analyzed the ingredients of the fragrance, and Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel grateful for his foresight in wearing an anti-poison helmet. If he didn¡¯t wear it, perhaps he would have ended up like the rest of them. ¡°However, howe you didn¡¯t react at all, Beta? What about your Mind¡¯s Eve ability?¡±?? y
Bai Qi patted Beta, feeling perplexed.
Awuuu?
(Can I just say, I don¡¯t know either?)
Bai Qi frowned slightly; ever since Beta¡¯s perception skills awakened to the Mind¡¯s Eye, its danger perception level had significantly increased. In cooperation with Schuck, it could even predict the opponent¡¯s next move. However, it was surprising that it was put to sleep by this fragrance without any indication of danger.
Craack. Craack.
(Probably because this dumb dog didn¡¯t detect any hostility. This pollen doesn¡¯t seem to be controlled by any creature. It¡¯spletely aimless.) Alpha was the first to venture a guess, and Bai Qi finally understood. Indeed, if there was no deliberate targeting, the effects of Mind¡¯s Eye couldn¡¯t demonstrate much of its capabilities.
¡°However, you were the sole one get hypnotized, which is rather embarrassing.¡±
Bai Qi looked disdainfully at Beta, who, although feeling a bit put off, quieted down after seeing the otherpanions.
A skeleton without the need to breathe or smell, a slime monster that would eat anything, an Ancestral Beast that could change its form ording to the environment, not to mention a metal lump.
Looking around, it seemed like Beta was the only one who needed to breathe normally¡
Luckily, since Schuck and he shared one body, he had cloaked Schuck in a metal skin. Beta also perked up and cautiously paved the way forward.
Finally, one man and four pets officially reached the front of the valley. Contrary to the gloomy exterior, the valley looked quite normal. It was covered in fresh flowers and lush greenery, presenting a vibrant scene. However, the more it was like this, the more Bai Qi was on his guard. Bai Qi looked at the images transmitted by Schuck¡¯s reconnaissance bees and found no anomalies, not even the slightest trace of living creatures. ¡°No animals, then it must be the nts.¡±
Thinking about Schuck¡¯s previous report, although it only had half theposition, as long as Dream Vine¡¯s pollen existed in the fragrance, the peculiar creature lurking here was most likely the Dream Vine.
Unlike beasts with animal attributes, those with nt attributes were typically calm. Besides a few that served as supplements making them easily preyed upon, some of the nt-attribute ferocious beasts could possibly sleep for decades without moving a muscle.
The Dream Vine was one of them.
As the major ingredient for the Phantom Spirit Potion, Bai Qi had researched it. Dream Vine was, just as its name implied, not only had its pollen easily induced people into deep sleep, but it was also fond of sleeping. Hence, it was bestowed with the name ¡®Dream Vine.¡¯
However, despite its seemingly harmless appearance, the Dream Vine was a real high-grade lord. It had quite a bad reputation even among the ferocious beasts.
Although the Dream Vine spent most of its time in sleep, it needed to feed when it woke up, and it depended on dreams for its mode of attack.
Dreams could be beautiful, but they could also be nightmares. From the literature Bai Qi read, some Nightmare Vines took advantage of their skills to immerse their enemies in nightmares. After terrifying them to death, they would then slowly drag them back to gradually be their own nutrients.
Therefore, there were two types of Dream Vines ssified in the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook. One was the Sweet Dream Vine, which had a gentle demeanor and favored sleep, and the other one was the Nightmares Vine, which was cruel and liked to attack its enemies with nightmares. Judging by the current situation, it seemed to be a Dream Vine that was causing all the unusual urrences in their vicinity.
But he had not heard of anyone sleepwalking after being exposed to the pollen of the Dream Vine. Could it be a mutant species?
¡°Alpha, go in there and check the situation. Be careful, this Dream Vine that can cover such arge area should not be low-level.¡±
Creak creak.
(Good, I¡¯ll be right back.)
Alpha drew the Sword of Death and slowly flew towards the valley.
Although he wasn¡¯t very clear about the situation in the valley, Alpha was a king-level beast. Together with the Sword of Death and the Undying me, two attributes that perfectly countered the nt attribute, even if it wasn¡¯t the ¡¯ Dream Vine but some other stronger creature, Alpha wouldn¡¯t fail.
Woof woof?
(Why are the things outside suddenlying this way?)
Soon after Alpha left, Beta suddenly growled at the area outside the valley, while Schuck aimed its weapon at the external beasts.
¡°Has it started to consciously control things?¡±
Looking at the ferocious beast horde marching uniformly towards them, Bai Qi knew that it was time for the creature in the valley to take action.
¡®Schuck, are you sure there are humans in there?¡±
¡°ording to the detection, there are four humans among the beast team.¡± Looking at a few blue spots marked on the screen, Bai Qi patted Delta, who immediately understood what was happening, and instantaneously elerated and disappeared into the void. In a few shes, he had taken all the humans away from here.
The hostages are safe, and the beasts have entered the attackable range. Shall we attack?¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and Schuck instantly understood. The Thunderme Cannon whizzed out and fell precisely on each beast. Gradually, the valley was filled with the aroma of roast meat.
Crunch crunch.
(It looks and smells so good, Gamma wants to eat¡)
Looking at the bodies of the ferocious beasts roasted by the Thunder me Power around him, Gamma couldn¡¯t help but feel incredibly hungry. A few tentacles swished out and pulled back several chunks of ¡°roast meat¡± nearby swallowing them delicately. Within a few seconds, Gamma had broken them ¡¯ down into their most basic energy and stored them in the Twin-Life Contract.
¡°Gamma¡¯s appetite is improving day by day.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, looking at the beast bodies devoured by Gamma and marveled at it. Not a single piece was spared, not even a hair.
His simple-mindedness aside, if he ever turned rogue, apart from anything else, his knack for destruction of evidence could qualify him as number one in the industry.
Hummm¡
Just as Bai Qi was about to remind Gamma not to waste resources, he suddenly felt a faint vibration in his ears, followed by dizziness and a blurry vision.
Was it a psychic attack?
Noticing the changes in himself, Bai Qi instantly focused his mind and forcibly resisted the dizziness in his mind. However, after he steadied himself, he realized that the scene before him had changed.
The original valley was nowhere to be seen, reced by a dense forest, and in front of Bai Qi was a vastke. The calmke under the moonlight looked as beautiful as a crystal.
Furthermore, the Husky and Gamma that had been closely guarding Bai Qi also disappeared, leaving him alone in the vast forest.
¡°What the hell is this? Have I been hit too?¡±
Bai Qi forcefully pinched his own face, only to feel a surge of severe pain. However, the scene around him remained unchanged.
Indeed, the rumor that pinching oneself could wake them up from a dream was a lie.
But, when had he been hit?
He was wearing an anti-poison helmet, so inhaling pollen was highly unlikely. Could it have been that weird vibration?
Bai Qi had a hunch and was about to meditate and see if he could forcibly break through the dream.
If he was just dreaming, his body would definitely be protected by Gamma and the others, so he didn¡¯t need to worry about that. But if he couldn¡¯t break out of the dream, it would be a problem.
However, before Bai Qi could make his move, ripples suddenly appeared on the peacefulke surface in front of him.
Then, to his surprise, a burly man wearing a hockey mask and holding arge cleaver slowly walked out of theke.
Crystal Lake.
A hockey mask.
Arge cleaver.
The serial killer Jason?
Infinite Terror?!
What the actual fuck?!!!
Chapter 279 - 275: The Chief Culprit
Chapter 279: Chapter 275: The Chief Culprit
As he watched Jason, who was slowly walking toward him with arge machete, Bai Qi could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Jason, one of The Four Great Western sher Killers, although he was buried in each series, he always climbed out of the grave to swing his machete again.
Once upon a time, Bai Qi had felt quite sympathetic toward this tireless ¡®hundred-man yer,¡¯ who was perhaps the most hardworking of all The Four Great Western sher Killers.
¡°But, why would Jason appear, this isn¡¯t an infinite flow¡¡±
Bai Qj sighed helplessly, and immediately started running.
Even though he knew in his heart that this was probably a dream, he still felt a bit scared when he faced it.
If this was real, he would be done for¡
However, before Bai Qi had started running for long, he willingly stopped himself, a bitter smile spread across his face.
The reason? In the path of his escape, another weird man had appeared, with scars on his face and fingers like razors.
Freddy of Elm Street.
Not only that, but on both sides of Bai Qi, other freaks had appeared. Including Jason, all members of The Four Great Western sher Killers had shown up.
¡°Even if it¡¯s a dream, it¡¯s a bitch of one! Don¡¯t I deserve a nice dream?¡±
Filled with both despair and annoyance, Bai Qi sat down on the ground and focused his spirit, trying to activate the Evolution Egg.
He thought as a qualified Golden Finger, there should be fail-safes. Psychological trauma from The Four Great Western sher Killers could affect his future development.
What a pity, the Evolution Egg seemed interested in nothing but pets and ignored him.
¡°Or, fight against The Four Great Western sher Killers?¡±
Looking at the grotesquely giant figures surrounding him, Bai Qi immediately gave up as soon as he thought about it.
However, it seemed that The Four Great Western sher Killers had no intentions of sparing Bai Qi. While they were about to make their moves, wielding their weapons and quickly approaching Bai Qi, a scream echoed in his ear. The forms of The Four Great Western sher Killers started to slowly fade away, and the surrounding forest and Crystal Lake became blurry.
Is this¡ the dream crumbling?
Bai Qi looked around in confusion as everything around him started to change. Then, a tingling sensation spread throughout his entire body, and his consciousness returned to himself.
Woof woof!
(See, I told you the electric shock would work!)
Thud thud.
(But you seem to have gone a bit too far, Beta, Gamma thinks the boss is being cooked.)
Blub blub.
(The boss¡¯s cells are just short of minor burns, the damage is minimal, he should be fine.)
Listening to the discussion between his pets by his side, Bai Qi gradually caught on and a smile appeared on his face. He lightly patted Beta¡¯s head.
¡°Thankyou, Beta. Without you, I might have been scared to death in my dream.¡±
Woof¡
(You¡¯re wee, it¡¯s all part of the job¡)
Before Beta finished speaking, Bai Qi suddenly delivered a punch.
¡°However, shouldn¡¯t you be able to break this sort of hypnotic power using your charm war cry or Soul Whisper?¡±
¡°If you use this kind of voltage again next time, I won¡¯t mind having an extra meal at night, understood?¡±
Woof¡
(Okay, I got it¡)
Seeing Beta admitting his mistake, Bai Qi released his hand. The electricity exceeding twice the tolerance limit of ordinary humans, though it had been for stimting his return to consciousness, did contain some personal resentment too.
¡°Speaking of which, did you locate the source?¡±
Bai Qi looked around. The surrounding ferocious beasts had basically been dealt with, and the scattered ones had been blocked outside the valley by the metal wall Schuckhad created, they couldn¡¯t enter at all.
The hypnotized ferocious beasts were not of a high level. It¡¯s just because Bai Qi had faintly fainted, and the three pets lost their will to fight, they had been left behind.
¡°We¡¯re not sure about the source, but it seems like Alpha ising back.¡±
Schuck looked into the valley and saw Alpha holding some unidentified object flying towards them.
Creak creak.
(Big boss, it seems like this thing caused everything.)
Alpha threw the unidentified object in front of Bai Qi. Seeing the burn marks all over Bai¡¯s body, the Fire of Soul started shaking violently.
Creak creak.
(Boss, are you hurt?)
Alpha had dared tofortably investigate the valley because the three pets were guarding Bai Qi. It had only been a while, and Bai Qi was injured!
¡°It¡¯s nothing, just some minor external injuries.¡±
Feeling the guilting from Alpha, Bai Qi waved his hand dismissively. Then, he started to examine the little thing in front of him.
This thing, which wasn¡¯t what Bai Qi had expected¡ª like the Dream Vine, in front of him, looked more like arge insect, except that its body was wrapped with colorful vines and resembled a certain kind of nt.
¡°What is this, an insect or a nt?¡±
Bai Qi pulled at the vine-like tentacles on the thing¡¯s body. Without any reactions, he turned his puzzled gaze to Alpha and asked, ¡°Alpha, did you knock it out?¡±
Creak creak.
(No, it was already unconscious when I found it.)
Alpha shook its head to indicate that it had not attacked.
¡°It knocked itself out? Sounds like a total weakling¡¡±
Bai Qi looked at the insect grass in front of him with surprise, finding it hard to associate it with the terrifying beast causing abnormalities in the surroundings. Awooo?
Just as Bai Qi was confused, Beta suddenly leaned in front of the insect grass, sniffed it, and abruptly tried to take a bite.
Achoo!
Just as Beta was about to bite the insect grass, the supposedly unconscious insect grass suddenly let out a sharp shriek. Its colorful vines instantly transformed into tentacles, swiftly avoiding Beta¡¯s mouth, and tried to run away.
However, before it could get far, Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death was already on its head, and the frightening aura of the King-level creature rushed towards the insect grass without reservation.
Achoo!
Seeing this, the insect grass gave up resisting without hesitation andy directly on the ground. At the same time, a strange voice sounded in the minds of the man and his four pets.
¡°Spare me, hero!¡±
Hearing the voice in his mind, Bai Qi was slightly puzzled and asked Beta, ¡°Beta, was that you speaking just now?¡±
Woof woof!
(I would never speak with such a cowardly tone.)
Crackle crackle.
(Boss, it wasn¡¯t me.)
Ripple ripple.
(It wasn¡¯t Gamma either.)
Burble burble.
(Delta didn¡¯t speak either.)
All the pets shook their heads in denial, and Bai Qi immediately turned his attention to the strange insect grass in front of him.
¡°Little guy, were you the one speaking just now?¡±
Achoo achoo!
(Yes, indeed, it was I.)
The insect grass carefully turned around and nodded. It wanted to say something else, but Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death came closer right away.
Achoo.
(Hero, could you please keep your Crystal Hero¡¯s sword a little further from me?)
¡°You? What era did you time-travel from?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat speechless. He picked up the insect grass and asked, ¡°Are you the one responsible for these weird urrences and the dream I just had?¡± ¡°If I said it was unrted, would you believe me, hero?¡±
The insect grass cautiously nced at Bai Qi. Before Bai Qi could respond, it felt a sense of killing intenting from behind.
¡°I confess, it was I who unintentionally influenced the animals around me while sleeping. But I¡¯ve done nothing to harm Heaven or Earth. I only pulled the hero into my dream to scare him. I meant no harm!¡±
The simple, clear, and quick exnation left Bai Qi, who was prepared for intense questioning, in a daze. Beta wore a disdainful look on its face.
Awooo!
(A true hero would never yield. This guy is a real coward!)
¡°You weren¡¯t much better before.¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and continued, ¡°Then why did you suddenly withdraw the dream? Did your conscience get the better of you?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi mention the dream, the insect grass instinctively shivered and said a little embarrassedly, ¡°Actually¡your nightmare was so terrifying that it scared me.¡±
Good heavens, was the intimidation power of the Four Great Western sher Killers that strong?
Looking at the insect grass in front of him, which seemed to have been greatly frightened, Bai Qi reluctantly epted this exnation. He looked at the strange form of the insect grass again and said, ¡°By the way, what species are you exactly? I¡¯ve never heard of it.¡±
He had heard of insect races incorporating other bloodlines, but this was his first time seeing an insect race fused with nt attributes.
In this day and age, could there really be insects that esteemed their own food so highly?
The insect grass paused when it heard this, and a troubled expression appeared on its face. It said, ¡°The story behind this is long¡cough cough, there¡¯s a simplified version as well. Heroes, please follow me.¡±
Feeling the tip of the sword behind it, the insect grass immediately changed its tone, pointed in the direction of the valley, and signaled for Bai Qi and the others to go in.
¡°That works. Let me see how you manage to control so many beasts.¡±
Bai Qi handed the insect grass to Alpha and followed the insect grass¡¯s directions towards the depths of the valley.
Just as he had seen from outside, the valley was lush with green nts, and the deeper they went, the stronger the nts grew. When they got to the end, some weeds were as tall as a man.
¡°This ce, it reminds me of Nichs¡¯s Jade Valley.¡±
Feeling the rich vitality around him, Bai Qi was increasingly puzzled.
Could it be that there was also a Green Dragon living here?
That couldn¡¯t be right. If there was a Green Dragon here, how could this weak creature cause so much chaos?
Soon, Bai Qi arrived in front of a gigantic dead tree guided by the insect grass. Although it no longer had a single leaf, and the crown of the tree was basically withered, Bai Qi could still imagine how magnificent it was when it was alive.
Crackle crackle.
(Boss, this is where I found it.)
Alpha offered an exnation first, and the insect grass nodded, ¡°Yes, initially, I was hiding here, trying to scare off the hero. But your dream was so¡¡±
The insect grass paused and continued, ¡°I was scared and involuntarily revealed myself by mistake. This great hero here discovered me. I thought I could y dead and bluff my way out, but¡ ¡±
¡°Alright, stop rambling about irrelevant things. Just tell me what you are, or I¡¯ll dissect you myself.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand to interrupt the insect grass. The insect grass stopped bbering and said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t even know what I am.¡±
Chapter 280 - 276: Cordyceps Symbiosis
Chapter 280: Chapter 276: Cordyceps Symbiosis
¡°Huh?¡±
Seeing the Silkworm Grass daring to pull one over on him, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes immediately shed with danger. Alpha had already raised the Sword of Death intending to finish off the Silkworm Grass.
Ahem, dear hero, please don¡¯t be hasty, allow me to exin,¡±
Seeing the situation, Silkworm Grass quickly retreated a few steps and said,
I mnot joking, my condition is genuinely strange.¡±
¡°Strange? Do enlighten us.¡±
A hybrid of nts and insects is indeed rare.
Silkworm Grass quickly organized its thoughts and a sorrowful aura suddenly emanated from it.
¡°Once upon a time, I was a carefree Dream Vine, entwining around this ancient tree every day, absorbing its nutrients, sharing the dreams of the tree and the surrounding nts. My life was carefree.¡±
¡°But one day, the ancient tree died, there were nopanions to share dreams with, and I fell into a deep sleep.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi interrupted Silkworm Grass¡¯s words, ¡°So, you¡¯re a Dream Vine?¡±
Silkworm Grass shook its head, ¡°Hero, don¡¯t be hasty, I haven¡¯t finished my story.¡±
¡°There¡¯s more to this story?¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi immediately became interested and decided to have Schuck conjure a chair to sit on, casually instructing Gamma to pick a few Angel Fruits to snack on.
Enjoying a snack while watching the show? How can one not?
Silkworm Grass fell silent for a moment, and its aura suddenly changed, bing cheerful.
¡°Once upon a time, I was a happy Soul-eating Worm, residing in different creatures. I constantly advanced by ruing more experience through freedom in the world. One day, I was attracted by apelling fragrance, which led me to a valley¡¡±
¡°Wait a minute, you were a vine, then a worm. Are you truly a Silkworm Grass?¡±
Bai Qi listened halfway and couldn¡¯t help but interrupt Silkworm Grass, who eximed in frustration.
Silkworm Grass? This name is indeed befitting of my current state.¡±
Silkworm Grass sighed, ¡°Although I¡¯m not certain about the cause, but I can now be considered abination of both ¨C Soul-eating Worm and Dream Vine.¡±
¡°Abination of the Soul-eating Worm and Dream Vine?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, recalling the information on Soul-eating Worms.
[Name]: Soul-eating Worm
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Introduction]: The Soul-eating Worm can seize control of the host by gnawing at its nerves, brain, and manage to nourish itself with the host¡¯s flesh and energy. Once it surpasses the host¡¯s level, it reces it with a stronger host. It¡¯s a loathed existence by both ferocious beasts and humans alike.
¡°So, it¡¯s a parasitic insect?¡±
Bai Qi instantly realized, looking at the Silkworm Grass¡¯s half insect, half grass appearance, he asked, ¡°So, you¡¯re a Soul-eating Worm that¡¯s parasitizing a Dream Vine?¡±
¡°Not entirely.¡±
Silkworm Grass shook its head, ¡°Although I¡¯ve seized control of the Dream
Vine, my soul has also been invaded by the Dream Vine and has taken over my body. So, I am also considered a Dream Vine.¡±
Ah, woo¡
(I suddenly feel a little dizzy¡)
After hearing Silkworm Grass¡¯s exnation, Beta felt like his brain was about to crash. Schuck, on the other hand, was frantically calcting the probability of this situation.
As for Alpha and the others, they werepletely at a loss.
However, Bai Qi quickly grasped the situation.
¡°ording to your words, the Soul-eating Worm first parasitized the Dream Vine, but the Dream Vine¡¯s soul captured the body of the Soul-eating Worm.¡± ¡°In simple terms, you killed yourself, but then resurrected yourself, you and yourself are in a very strange symbiotic state.¡±
Silkworm Grass nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s roughly what I meant.¡±
Ba Qi looked at Schuck, ¡°Schuck, is the probability of this situation urring high?¡±?????????????????????????????????? 6
Schuck shook his head, ¡°The Soul-eating Worm itself is parasitic, that¡¯s not strange. However, it is rare for a Dream Vine to invade the soul of another creature. Their condition seems to be due to simultaneous activation of their abilities, which resulted in both bodies and souls being entwined.¡±
¡°However, this should only be theoretically possible. Normally, one side should sessfully plunder the existence of the other, a fusion situation shouldn¡¯t ur.¡±
Schuck was puzzled, his curious eyes observing Silkworm Grass incessantly.
Thump thump.
(Could it be that after the Soul-eating Worm swallowed the control center of the Dream Vine, it was regarded as a new control center, so both souls did not reject this body, and instinctively chose to merge? Hmm, is this simr to the grafting of nts?)
¡°I don¡¯t think so, grafting is only a fusion of nt limbs, it has nothing to do with the soul, it should be for some other reason,¡±
Thump thump.
(But the body and the soul are not inseparable, apart from the Undead, the soul should exist m every part of the body, especially the brain, which is the core position.)
¡°But¡¡±
Under Bai Qi and the others¡¯ confused gazes, Schuck and Delta began an intense debate. While Bai Qi, the master of the two pets, wanted to step forward to mediate, he found he couldn¡¯t get a word in edgewise.
No way, it was too much of a profession, even wild guesses wouldn¡¯t work.
Huh?
(I wanted to ask, does the Dream Vine have a brain?)
¡°Shut up!¡±
Bloop Bloop!
(Silence!)
Schuck and Delta both turned their heads to look at Beta, who quickly turned his head away pretending that nothing had happened after realizing he had asked a foolish question.
But precisely because of this, Schuck and Delta stopped arguing and started studying the insect grass patiently.
¡°To allow two life forms¡¯ bodies and souls to mergepletely, there¡¯s no way it can keep the original consciousness, otherwise it¡¯s easy to induce splits.¡± (Exactly. In other words, this consciousness was bornter on. Being able to retain both memories should be assisted by leftover memories.)
¡°But to sessfully merge, it¡¯s impossible to rely solely on themselves. I cannot detect any traces of two separate organisms. There must be some external assistance.¡±
(Delta believes so too.)
The Twin Pets exchanged their opinions instantly, then looked at the tree
before them. Bai Qi seemed thoughtful.
This ancient tree seemed to have been dead for quite some time. However, Bai Qi still sensed a bit of vitality and an unusual aura. Apparently, this wasn¡¯t just any simple nt.
After all, in this world, whether an animal or nt, even a roadside stone, the sword held by ancient people, might turn into a pet beast nurtured by time. And ording to the insect grass, this ancient tree even possessed a dreand. This indicated it had already acquired a spirit.
Rattle!
(Boss, judging from the remnant aura, this ancient tree might have been a six
stage king-level creature, or even higher.)
¡°Six stage king-level? And possibly higher!¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was taken aback. Schuck suddenly stated, ¡°After examination, there is an eighty-one percent probability that this ancient tree is a Knowledge Ancient Tree, eighteen percent that it¡¯s a War Ancient Tree, and one percent that it¡¯s a normal ancient tree.¡±
¡°Knowledge Ancient Tree, one of the three ancient trees known for the Tree of Life?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the nearly withered ancient tree before him with surprise, apparently unable to link it to the three famous ancient trees.
As they heard the conversation being carried out by Bai Qi and the four beasts the insect grass shyly raised its hand, saying, ¡°Um, I seem to remember something about the identity of this tree in my memory. It should be the Knowledge Ancient Tree.¡±
¡°So it truly is the Knowledge Ancient Tree. What a waste.¡±
Having confirmed it with the insect grass, Bai Qi no longer doubted it and instantly felt a sense of regret.
The Knowledge Ancient Tree, a creature rumored to know everything in the world. If he could have tamed it, that would have been splendid. Even if not, extracting the Tree Core before itsplete death would at least have been¡¯a mythical resource.
Huh?
Tree Core?
Bai Qi suddenly jumped in front of the Knowledge Ancient Tree. Through the hole in the tree trunk, he quickly found arge hollow space and vaguely sensed a rich vitality.
Where is the core of this Knowledge Ancient Tree? Where did it go?¡±
Bai Qi turned around, gripped the insect grass forcefully, and questioned loudly.
Tree Core? Are you talking about the delicious berries? When I was sleeping, I was so hungry that I ate it.¡±
¡°Ate it!¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes widened with fury. He began shaking the insect grass violently looking like he was trying to shake the core out. Schuck even set up a full set of surgical tools, clearly nning on a direct dissection.
Thankfully, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t crazy enough to do that. After struggling for a while, he chose to give up.
ording to Schuck and Delta¡¯s discussion, the insect grass was able to fuse two bodies and souls, giving birth to apletely new consciousness, which required the help of an external object.
Clearly, it was the core of this Life Ancient Tree itself.
Slurp slurp.
(Master, how about letting Gamma stew him? It should be possible to absorb a
bit of the core¡¯s energy that way.)
GaGma, who had always been reserved, finally spoke, and his words almost scared the insect grass to faint.
How had he ever ended up provoking such a bunch of demons while resting peacefully at home?
Should he¡ try to escape?
Thinking about it, the insect grass once again nced at Bai Qi and the four pets who were discussing whether to cook him, and then quietly began to retreat.
However, not muchter, the insect grass felt a cold sensation on its back. A ck long sword had been hanging behind it unknowingly, and its master, Alpha, was still guarding Bai Qi¡¯s side.
That was it. There was no chance of escape.
The insect grass felt hopeless and gave up on the n to escapepletely. It simplyy down in front of Bai Qi and the pets with a nonchnt attitude, ready to give in to fate.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t helpughing. He grabbed the bug grass and climbed onto Delta¡¯s back.
¡°Anyway, the mission isplete. Let¡¯s go back and submit it first, then further study this creature.¡±
The Spirit Eater Bug and the Dream Vine, plus the Knowledge Ancient Tree Core
of at least sixth stage. The chance of these three coincidentally merging together is not high. And evenparing these rare creatures to Bai Qi¡¯s general conduct, there¡¯s no way he would leave it in the wild alone.
Chapter 281 - 277: Don’t Come Over Here!
Chapter 281: Chapter 277: Don¡¯t Come Over Here!
Secret Realm Base.
¡°As I thought, the Soul Eating Insects and the Dream Vine havepletely merged together. It¡¯s exactly as I predicted.¡±
Bai Qi was analyzing the data disyed on the device, his head slightly nodding in affirmation. He then turned towards Beta and asked, ¡°Beta, how about you? Is there any problem with its spirit?¡±
Woof woof!
(There are no issues. The spirit is very strong, however, there¡¯s only one consciousness, which appears to be recently formed.)
¡°That exins it.¡±
A gleam shed across Bai Qi¡¯s eyes. An insect vying for the body, a nt invading the soul, both nurtured by the core of the Knowledge Ancient Tree. Due to some coincidences, they had evolved into a unique life form.
Could this be an unprecedented urrence within the Federation?
This rare being absolutely had to remain by his side!
An intimidating aura abruptly emanated from Bai Qi, instantly startling the Dream Vine that had undergone countless tests. It instinctively took a step back.
This human is terrifying!
¡°Insect Grass,e here for a moment.¡±
Just as the Insect Grass was nning to slip away, Bai Qi summoned it. Although the Insect Grass was unwilling, it obediently moved to Bai Qi¡¯s side, knowing the intent gazes of both Gamma and Alpha surrounding it.
The Insect Grass definitely had every reason to assume that, if it refused Bai Qi¡¯s invitation, it would instantly be sliced into pieces and then cooked by those two.
¡°Honored hero, what are yourmands?¡±
Bai Qi ced his hand on the Insect Grass¡¯ head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t resist, 1 want to check your data.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
The Insect Grass nodded, standing still and daring not to move an inch. Bai Qi sessfully obtained the Insect Grass¡¯ data.

[Skill Name]: Paralysis
[Skill Level]: Mid-level
[Skill Brief]: Insect System. Amonly used skill, secreted toxins paralyze the enemy¡¯s nerves, subtly damaging the enemy¡¯s body tissues.
Unsurprisingly, the race of the Insect Grass showed up as question marks. Clearly, the Evolution Egg had never encountered such an extraordinary situation before. The four perfectly mastered skills were also within Bai Qi¡¯s expectations.
Having the ability to influence so many ferocious beasts at the same time, Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t believe it if someone told him that the Insect Grass was not proficient in those skills.
Moreover, after reviewing all the skills of the Insect Grass, Bai Qi finally understood the creation process of this strange creature.
The Soul Eating Insect consumed the soul, while the Dream Vine was able to transfer its own consciousness into the dreand. As a result, the consciousness of both got entangled together. Both were annihted, and under the nourishment of the Knowledge Ancient Tree, a new consciousness was formed. It was that simple.
In a way, this creature was quite simr to Husky. But while Husky was a body with two consciousnesses, the Insect Grass was two bodies and souls merged to form a single consciousness.
However, the growth level of this creature was surprisingly lower than what Bai Qi had anticipated.
To affect such a wide area, it must have been a high-level, after all, it swallowed the core of a Knowledge Ancient Tree.
¡°I think the reason it was able to influence such arge area is probably due to its fusion process with the Knowledge Ancient Tree Core. It caused energy leakage during the fusion process, and by the time it finished fusion, the energy would have been mostly exhausted,¡± Schuck spected, giving a reasonable exnation. Bai Qi couldn¡¯t think of any other reason, so he epted this one. After all, it was already rare for two pets to fuse together, asking for both to be high-level would be too much.
¡°However, it does surprisingly meet my current needs¡¡± Bai Qi looked at the Bug Grass with a smile.
The ability to create dreams was precisely for enhancing spiritual power, wasn¡¯t it? With this living dream-making machine here, he wouldn¡¯t need to buy any Phantom Spirit Potion anymore.
Initially, Bai Qi had nned to contract a Dream Vine, but most of the Dream Vines had limited growth potential, they didn¡¯t like to fight and spend most of their time in deep sleep. The contract wouldn¡¯t have been of much use. Hence, Bai Qi gave up on them.
However, he now had this possible one-of-a-kind symbiotic species in front of him, he couldn¡¯t afford to miss it.
¡°Bug Grass, would you like to be my pet and join us as apanion?¡± Bai Qi asked.
Bai Qi¡¯s question apparently surprised the Bug Grass. Seeing the ¡°predatory¡± look from Bai Qi¡¯s four pets, it made up its mind immediately.
¡°It¡¯s an honor for me to be your pet, hero. I hope you won¡¯t find me useless.¡± ¡°Useless? No, you¡¯ll definitely be useful.¡±
Bai Qi smiled, ¡°Was that dream you just created took a peek at my consciousness?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s question, Bug Grass apologized instantly, ¡°Please don¡¯t get me wrong, hero. I just surfaced your fear out without peeking into your memories.¡±
¡°So if I were to give you more detailed content or let go of my memories¡ could you create a more realistic dream?¡±
Pausing momentarily, the Bug Grass replied, ¡°In theory, yes. But I no longer have the power of the Knowledge Ancient Tree core to support me, so I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to create arge-scale dream as before.¡±
¡°That¡¯s fine, a small dream will do.¡±
Bai Qi held the Bug Grass, whispering instructions to it. The Bug Grass hesitated for a moment but eventually followed Bai Qi¡¯s instructions and initiated a dream.
¡°Hmm, it¡¯s really realistic.¡±
Seeing the familiar high-rise buildings around him, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He roamed around with a nostalgic feeling until the dream copsed, and he was forcefully ejected from the dream.
Bai Qi gazed at the familiar surroundings in a daze, it took him a while to emerge from the dream. After a quiet reflection, he confirmed that his spiritual power had indeed increased, much more effective than the effects of the Phantom Spirit Potion.
¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve passed the trial and became a full-time employee.¡±
Bai Qi smiled to Bug Grass, ¡°Let¡¯s follow the convention and give you a name. Your race name is Dream-eating Vine, and your name is¡Epsilon!¡±
¡°Epsilon? But I prefer an oriental name¡¡±
Under the gaze of four pets, Bug Grass¡¯s voice grew softer and softer. Eventually, it chose to ept the odd name.
Wisdom of the times is wisdom, yielding is strength.
Seeing the Bug Grass epting the name, Bai Qi nodded adequately.
The progress of the Golden Egg was already at 99 percent. With the Evolution Egg and Green Dragon¡¯s Scales, attaining full physical condition was just a matter of time. With bug grass at hand, advancing spiritual power now will only progress faster. The rise to the fifth stage was a foregone conclusion.
After signing the contract with the bug grass and quickly raising its level, the efficiency of enhancing his pets¡¯ abilities would once again increase, creating a virtuous cycle.
But how would his pets react in the dream, and if a battle took ce in the dream, could it enhance the mastery of their skills?
He would try itter, if it worked, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about finding a suitable training ground for the time being.
¡°Alright, Epsilon, you rest here for a while; I¡¯ll go report the mission.¡±
Bai Qi put down the Bug Grass, then turned to Gamma cautiously, ¡°Gamma, it¡¯s now part of our team. Don¡¯t stew it!¡±
Squelch squelch.
(¡°Alright, Gamma won¡¯t stew it.¡±)
¡°Boiling, frying, roasting, or grilling, anything to eat, you must not do. Get along well with Epsilon.¡±
Bai Qi wisely blocked all of Gamma¡¯s choices, saying to Schuck and Beta, ¡°Don¡¯t consider him as research material and dissect him. If Ie back to find any damage, rest assured I¡¯ll deal with it.¡±
¡°Beast Master, you can go with a peaceful mind. I won¡¯t do anything to it.¡±
Schuck nodded seriously, and Beta did the same.
¡°That¡¯s good, Delta, let¡¯s hurry up ande back.¡±
Bai Qi nodded satisfiedly upon seeing this and left the secret realm with Delta, heading straight for the association.
He hadpleted the mission but kept the culprit for himself. He needed to at least exin to President Qin, otherwise, he will be in trouble if his points got deducted.
Awooo?
(Did the human leave?)
¡°He¡¯s gone.¡±
Schuck nodded, and then the Two Headed-dog turned its dangerous eyes towards Bug Grass.
The Beast Master only said not to see any injury, so it¡¯ll be fine to repair it after slicing, right? As for the treatment, with Gamma here, it¡¯s easy.
Squelch squelch?
(Can Gamma slice a bit to taste, then heal him again, just like picking a fruit?)
Inspired by Schuck, Gamma¡¯s mind suddenly diverged and unquestionably considered Bug Grass as a renewable fruit tree.
Targeted by the two pets and their dangerous gaze, the colorful vines of Bug Grass lost their color in fear. It backed away shakily towards a corner, issuing a harsh scream.
¡°Don¡¯te over!¡±
Chapter 282 - 278: On the Eve of Release
Chapter 282: Chapter 278: On the Eve of Release
Beast Master Association.
¡°You¡¯re saying, the anomaly around the valley was caused by a Dream Vine parasitizing a Knowledge Ancient Tree?¡±
President Qin looked a little surprised after reading Bai Qi¡¯s report.
Initially, he sent Bai Qi to investigate because there weren¡¯t any indications of strong life sources in the area. If he had known there was a Knowledge Ancient Tree there, he would have sent a higher level Beast Master.
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Yes, but that Knowledge Ancient Tree is now dead. There shouldn¡¯t be simr situations in the future.¡±
¡°I see, but we can¡¯t just leave the remains of the Knowledge Ancient Tree out there. I¡¯ll send peopleter to clean up the mess.¡±
President Qin put down the mission report in his hands and asked, ¡°By the way, where is the Dream Vine now?¡±
¡°Um, I felt that the Dream Vine was rather unique, so I brought it back for research.¡±
Bai Qi awkwardly scratched his head, ¡°As the Beast Master whopleted the task, I have the right to decide what to do with the rewards, right?¡±
¡°Why are you so nervous? I wouldn¡¯t ask for just a Dream Vine.¡±
President Qinughed after hearing this and asked, ¡°By the way, I got a memo from the Thirteenth Bureau. The Spirit-Control Orb should be officially distributed in a few days. As the creator, do you have any thoughts?¡± ¡°Thoughts?¡±
Bai Qi tilted his head in thought, ¡°Is there a charge for the Spirit-Control Orb?¡±
President Qin froze for a moment and said, ¡°You already have four core patents, including the Spirit-Control Orb, do you still need to worry about money?¡±
Can you me me? My pets at home are quite spendy, casually buying Epic Materials to strengthen themselves. If I don¡¯t earn more, how can I handle that in the future?
Bai Qi helplessly shrugged, his face a picture of reluctance. President Qin seemed to understand something and didn¡¯t say anything more.
Carrying out so many studies does consume a lot.
Well, I¡¯ll try to help Bai Qi apply for some research funds when I find the time. The better Bai Qi does, the more beneficial it is for the Association.
President Qin pulled out a file and handed it to Bai Qi, ¡°This is the preliminary implementation n for the Spirit-Control Orb. After being verified, every untalented individual can receive one for free from the association, and choose one from three listed pets for a contract. Additional Spirit-Control Orbs will be up to them to purchase.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction at the news. He had initially suggested a quantity limit to the Thirteenth Bureau, but for those without talent, contracting one pet would be their limit. Giving them one was enough.
¡°What about others¡ um, Beast Masters who also can¡¯t contract beasts anymore? Can they have one, too?¡±
President Qin looked somewhat relieved at the question and nodded, ¡°As long as they are certified by the association, yes.¡±
As he said so, President Qin brought out his Green Leaf Ball and said, ¡°Speaking of which, I should thank you. I never thought I¡¯d be able to contract a seventh pet in my lifetime, and you made it possible.¡±
Saying this, President Qin gently tossed out the Green Leaf Ball. A huge beast with a metallic sheen appeared before Bai Qi.
[Name]: Steel Helmet Rhino
[Nature]: Steel
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
¡°A Mid-Level Lord? How did you manage to contract it, President?¡±
Seeing the clearly high-level Steel Helmet Rhino, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Meanwhile, President Qin held his head high and said, ¡°I¡¯m a Master of the Sunrise Level, after all. I can deal with a Lord creature. It¡¯s just that this Green Leaf Ball you made can¡¯t store enough Spirit Power, otherwise, I might have tried a King-level creature.¡±
¡°Sorry I held you back¡¡±
Bai Qi sighed in resignation, then began to study the Steel Helmet Rhino more carefully.
Compared to Zhuge Chen¡¯s Arctic Ice Wolf, which clearly looked like it was raised by humans, President Qin¡¯s Steel Helmet Rhino had an obvious trace of wild ferociousness. However, it looked visibly scared when it saw President Qin. ¡°Uh, President, may I askhowyou tamed this Steel Helmet Rhino?¡±
¡°Of course, I¡¯m nning to poprize this method.¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s really simple, first, beat the Steel Helmet Rhino half to death and heal it, then repeat it several times. It will seek you out for a contract.¡±
Bai Qi: ¡°¡¡±
President, aren¡¯t you afraid the Beast Protection Association willin about you?
Oh, wait, the Steel Helmet Rhino was originally a ferocious beast, so it¡¯s fine.
¡°But, President, aren¡¯t you a support Beastmaster? Why did you choose a Steel Helmet Rhino? It¡¯s supposed to be an offensive type, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Bai Qi watched the Steel Helmet Rhino, looking like a scared puppy under President Qin¡¯s clutches, and couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°Right, all my previous six pets were support types. Nowthat I¡¯m older, I suddenly wanted to have an offensive type.¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°With the support of my six other pets, even if the Steel Helmet Rhino cannot level up with me, itsbat strength might not be weaker.¡±
Well, boy, were they trying to pile on six to one, forcibly stacking to create a pet beast full of BUFFs?
Oh, masters at the Sunrise Level sure are capricious.
¡°Speaking of which, the enhancement of pet beasts contracted with the Spirit- Control Orb has always been a problem. Do you have any good ideas on your end?¡±
President Qin put away his steel-armored rhino, saying, ¡°With the initial poprization of the Spirit-Control Orb, there might not be any problems. But once the Spirit-Control Orb bes widespread, conflicts are bound to arise.¡±
People don¡¯t suffer from scarcity, but from inequality. If there was none from the beginning, it would be alright. But after a Spirit Controller sessfully forms a contract, they¡¯re bound topare themselves to Beast Masters, and all sorts of melodramatic issues will probably start appearing.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°The contract between a Spirit Controller and a pet beast is pretty lenient. After the pet beast evolves, it¡¯s up to the Spirit Controller to cultivate and manage their rtionship with it, in order to keep it by their side. After all, a forced bond isn¡¯t a sweet one.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, we can only leave it be for now.¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°But spend some effort improving the Spirit- Control Orb. If you manage to break through today¡¯s limitations, your contribution to mankind¡¯s history won¡¯t be any less than those great emperors.¡±
¡± Chairman, aren¡¯t you cing me on too high a pedestal.¡±
At these words, Bai Qi sighed helplessly. Why did all these leaders love to lure him with empty promises?
Stand shoulder to shoulder with great emperors?
Let¡¯s discuss it when I be a Titled Legendary.
Regardless of whether President Qin had mentioned it or not, Bai Qi had no intention of halting the improvement n for the Spirit-Control Orb.
Apart from increasing the storage limit of the Spirit Power Storage Device, Bai Qi was recentlymitted to researching specific Spirit-Control Orbs for different natured pet beasts.
Such as the Ground Orb for Ground System beasts, the Sky Orb for the Flying System, and the Wave Orb for the Water Department¡
These special orbs that had added specific natured runes based on the original Spirit-Control Orbs could theoretically increase the sess rate of forming contracts.
Once ordinary Spirit-Control Orbs became widespread, Bai Qi nned to gradually release these special orbs, which he was sure would sell like hotcakes.
What a pity, Nichs¡¯s Jade Imprint couldn¡¯t bemonce. Otherwise, the effect would be even better.
Oh, what about a limited edition?
Or holding a lottery?
Bai Qi¡¯s brain was running wildly, and aplete business n gradually took shape.
¡°Chairman, is the production of the Spirit-Control Orbs handled by the Federation?¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°The first batch of Spirit-Control Orbs was produced by the Thirteenth Bureau¡¯s military factories, but I guess that they will gradually delegate the power to some corporations that major in Mechanical Engineering.¡±
¡°But, at most, they would only delegate the production of the Spirit-Control Orb¡¯s shell. The Thirteenth Bureau would never hand the Spirit Power Storage Device to others.¡±
Bai Qi somehow hadn¡¯t noticed anything, but President Qin knew very clearly what a significant strategic symbol Bai Qi¡¯s Spirit Power Storage Device represented.
In the battles of Beast Masters, in addition to relying on pet beasts, using talents is also an important part. When a Beast Master uses their talent, it consumes both physical strength and spirit power.
Physical strength can be supplemented with potions, but replenishing spirit power solely with potions puts a considerable burden on a Beast Master¡¯s body.
Once Bai Qi¡¯s Spirit Power Storage Device was born, Beast Masters could store their spirit power in advance and extract it when needed.
Although a device that can reabsorb stored spirit power hasn¡¯t appeared yet, President Qin was positive that the research department of the Thirteenth Bureau is definitely working overtime to develop one.
¡°I see¡ does Wuhou Corporation have production qualifications?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi finally understood and immediately thought of Zhuge Chen¡¯s family.
¡°Probably not, Wuhou Corporation didn¡¯t initially major in Mechanical Engineering, plus they¡¯re already handling the farm for Spirit-Control Orb beasts. The Thirteenth Bureau won¡¯t hand over the production of the Spirit- Control Orb to them again.¡±
¡°Alright then.¡±
Bai Qi sighed disappointingly. He originally nned to not let any water flow into others¡¯ fields and give all the special orb manufacturing rights to the Zhuge family, saving him the trouble of further negotiations with the Thirteenth Bureau. It seemed that was too wishful thinking.
¡°However, I can roughly guess who the Thirteenth Bureau will hand the production of the Spirit-Control Orb to, and you are familiar with them,¡±
President Qinughed, while Bai Qi reacted after a brief moment of confusion. ¡°Xia¡¯s Group?¡±
Although Xia¡¯s Group is an emerging powerhouse within the Federation, they major in Mechanical Engineering. Moreover, the second son of Xia¡¯s Group, Xia Yan, has a position in the Thirteenth Bureau, and even the military standard pet beast, Broken Army, is produced by Xia¡¯s Group, it would only be natural for them to hand over the Spirit-Control Orb production to them.
¡°Correct, it¡¯s Xia¡¯s group.¡±
President Qin nodded and then revealed a strange smile, saying, ¡°But after all, you invented the Spirit-Control Orb, so I presume the Thirteenth Bureau will ask for your opinion as a reference.¡±
¡°So, quite a few people mighte to see you in the next few days. You better be prepared.¡±
¡°Come to see me?¡±
Bai Qi thought on that, while President Qin patted his shoulder, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be soft-hearted when good benefits are delivered to your doorstep.¡±
Chapter 283 - 279: Sending the Wealth-bringing Child to the Door
Chapter 283: Chapter 279: Sending the Wealth-bringing Child to the Door
Upon seeing the mischievous smile on President Qin¡¯s face, which wasn¡¯t quite fitting for his age or status, Bai Qi had a sudden realization and said, ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t go easy. Um, how about offering mythical resources?¡±
At his statement, President Qin¡¯s face stiffened as he replied, ¡°You don¡¯t think mythical resources are everywhere, do you?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t they?¡±
Bai Qi looked at President Qin with curiosity. After doing a quick mental calction, besides the Crystal Dragon Bone he initially got through an exchange with the Thirteenth Bureau, Bai Qi had redeemed several mythical resources just from the Beast Master Association. Moreover, considering the significant reserves stored in the Holy Relic Tower, there seemed to be many more.
President Qin sighed, ¡°Being essentially obtained from king-level or emperor-level creatures, mythical resources are not easy toe by. Only long-standing powerhouses like the Association, or national organizations like the Federation, might have mythical resources. Private powers like financial groups wouldn¡¯t readily use them for trade.¡±
¡°Additionally, while the Spirit-Control Orbs have high profitability, they are only worth as much as their mary value. Thus, it¡¯s absolutely impossible to make these factions give up mythical resources.¡±
Upon hearing this, understanding dawned on Bai Qi, and his interest waned. He was no longer in need of small amounts of money now. The only things that piqued his interest were mythical resources. Based on what President Qin had implied, getting these resources would be highly unlikely. Hence, nothing was of interest anymore.
¡°Don¡¯t be so disheartened.¡±
President Qjn waved his hand and said, ¡°Think carefully. What is your current profession? This could be a great opportunity. Once you miss it, it might nevere again.¡±
Upon hearing President Qin¡¯s words, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up.
¡°I get it!¡±
¡°As long as you understand.¡±
President Qin smiled with satisfaction before shooing him out.
¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, get out of here. Make sure your phone is on, as I may contact you for tasks at any time.¡±
Feeling ted, Bai Qi nodded before departing the association swiftly.
¡°This kid¡¡±
Watching Bai Qi retreating quickly outside the window, President Qin couldn t help but chuckle.
Although Bai Qi tended to behave maturely and handled matters with the acumen of a cunning fox, he was still a student after all.
With the Void Echo skill and the Wind God Winged Dragon¡¯s Hurricane Talent, Bai Qi had made it home instantly. However, before he couldnd, he saw two groups of people waiting at his doorstep.
They¡¯re here already?
Bai Qi was a little surprised, and he thenmanded Delta tond.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re finally back. You kept Uncle Zhuge waiting.¡±
The moment Bai Qi appeared, Zhuge Xu approached him saying, I have to thank you for your Green Leaf Ball. It has helped resolve a dilemma for Zhuge Chen.¡±
¡°Uncle Zhuge, you¡¯re too kind. It was my pleasure.¡±
Bai Qi smiled, nced at the helpless Zhuge Chen, and asked, ¡°Did Uncle Zhugee to see me for something?¡±
Zhuge Xu nodded, ¡°Yes, but today¡¯s protagonists are not me, but them.¡± After saying this, Zhuge Xu moved aside, pointing at the two people behind him who then walked forward.
¡°Xia Xuan?¡±
Seeing one familiar face, Bai Qi was a bit taken aback. Recognizing the middle- aged man who looked somewhat like Xia Xuan, he understood what was happening.
President Qin had just mentioned this matter to him, and the representatives from Xia¡¯s Group were already at his doorstep?
They arrived quickly.
Under the circumstances, Xia Xuan was evidently not excited about facing Bai Qi and avoided eye contact, instead choosing to remain silent. The middle-aged man next to him frowned at this and cautioned, ¡°Xuan¡¯er, don¡¯t be rude.¡± After hearing the man speak, Xia Xuan reluctantly nodded at Bai Qi in greeting.
¡°Let me introduce him. This is the current helmsman of Xia¡¯s Group, Chairman Xia Yi. You can call him Uncle Xia.¡±
Seeing Xia Xuan¡¯s behavior, Zhuge Xu smiled faintly and then introduced the man¡¯s identity to Bai Qi. However, Xia Yi waved his hand and said, ¡°I dare not im to be an elder. Bai Qi, if you don¡¯t mind, you can call me by my name.¡±
¡°Chairman Xia is too humble.¡±
Bai Qi gave a faint smile, then opened the door wider and said, ¡°Pleasee
in.¡±
The purpose of Xia Yi¡¯s visit was obvious, and Bai Qi wasn¡¯t about to leave him outside.
After everyone had entered, Bai Qi served them tea but refrained from making conversation, choosing instead to silently sip his tea.
Silence was golden, and Bai Qi knew he couldn¡¯t outsell these cunning businessmen in high-stakes deals. Any extra words would be pointless.
With Zhuge Xu around, Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t be at risk anyway. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re all familiar here. I¡¯ll take the lead,¡± Zhuge Xu said, pleased that Bai Qi hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to speak first. He cleared throat and asked, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re aware of the impending distribution of the Spirit-Control Orbs, right?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°I just came from President Qin. He told me about it.¡± Zhuge Xu nodded, ¡°The first batch of Spirit-Control Orbs will be distributed to all talentless citizens within the Federation, ushering in an era of universal Beast Control. As the creator, your name is surely destined for history.¡± ¡°However, I won¡¯t trouble you with such trivial matters. Let¡¯s get to the point. Zhuge Xu paused, ¡°The first batch of Spirit-Control Orbs, and the corresponding free Beast Control, will be distributed by the Beast Master Association, unrted to our businesses. But afterward, the production and sales of the orbs will gradually be handed over to an institution chosen by the ? Federation. Though, so far, they have not settled on any particr institution.
¡°If my guess is correct, you will soon be contacted by the Federation to garner your opinion.¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly in response. While it seemed like a stretch, the Federation¡¯s respect for the owners of core patents was widely acknowledged. Bai Qi himself had seen it in the agreement he¡¯ d signed with Wang Jian.
Of course, Bai Qi suspected that the Beast Master Association and his teacher Bai Heguang had exerted influence on this matter.
¡°Did you want to get involved in the production of Spirit-Control Orbs, Uncle Zhuge?¡± Bai Qi asked.
Zhuge Xu quickly waved his hand, ¡°Thanks to your help, the Wuhou Corporation already manages one-third of the Federation¡¯s dedicated Beast Master breeding bases. We couldn¡¯t handle the production qualifications of Spirit-Control Orbs even if we were given them.¡±
¡°My visit today is actually aimed at introducing you to the Xia¡¯s Group.¡± Bai Qi nodded. Xia Yi and Zhuge Xu came together and seemed to be getting along well, which suggested that they had discussed this beforehand. Perhaps there was already an agreement in ce; otherwise, Zhuge Xu wouldn¡¯t so easily give up this opportunity to benefit.
As soon as Zhuge Xu finished speaking, Xia Yi took over, ¡°Although Xia¡¯s Group is not as financially strong as other established corporations, we have made some achievements in the Mechanical Engineering Department. The Spirit- Control Orb benefits the whole Federation and it would be a great regret if Xia¡¯s Group were to miss out on this chance.¡±
¡°Of course, we will not take advantage of you, Bai Qi.¡±
Xia Yi brought out a folder, ¡°If you allow Xia¡¯s Group to take over production rights for the Spirit-Control Orbs throughout the Federation, in addition to the usual patent fees, Xia¡¯s Group is willing to give an additional ten percent of the Spirit-Control Orb profits to you personally.¡±
He offered apologetically, ¡°I know ten percent is small, but the Spirit-Control Orb production involves many aspects. Therefore, Xia¡¯s Group willpensate you elsewhere.¡±
After finishing, Xia Yi turned to Bai Qi to hear his thoughts. However, Bai Qi did not reply as if he had not heard him.
Right, a ten percent profit share wouldn¡¯t be very alluring to someone who held four core patents.
Naturally, a person who could concoct such groundbreaking inventions was not an ordinary student and could not be evaluated with ordinary standards.
¡°In that case, I have this other offer. I know that you¡¯re also a mech martial master. Xia¡¯s group does have some research in this field. If you don¡¯t mind, we have a vacant mech martial research room in Gusu City which we could also offer you.¡±
¡°You can rest assured that Xia¡¯s Group will take care of the maintenance matters.¡±
After hearing Xia Yi¡¯s words, Bai Qi finally reacted and nodded repeatedly, ¡°I don¡¯t mind at all. Uncle Xia is too kind.¡±
Did they not just call him Director Xia? Now he¡¯s Uncle Xia?
Seeing this change in Bai Qi, Xia Xuan couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. His first instinct was to ridicule him, but he remembered his father¡¯s admonition before they left and decided to hold his tongue.
¡°Ha-ha, you¡¯re too generous, Old Xia. Now I have to keep up.
Seeing Bai Qi agree to Xia Yi¡¯s conditions, Zhuge Xu couldn¡¯t help but burst into a heartyugh, ¡°The Spirit-Control Orbs produced by Xia¡¯s Group will be sold by our Wuhou Beast Master breeding bases and Elf House. I don¡¯t have a Mech Martial Research Room to offer, but I can further give you twenty percent of the profit.¡±
Bai Qi quickly waved his hand to refute the offer, but Zhuge Xu interrupted him, ¡°I know you want to refuse, but business is business. I still owe you a thank you for the breeding base cooperation. Consider the additional ten percent as the base¡¯s profit share.¡±
With that said, Bai Qi could only give in, ¡°Well then, thank you Uncle Zhuge.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for thanks in business. I should be thanking you for remembering the Wuhou Corporation.
Zhuge Xu knew that if it weren¡¯t for Bai Qi¡¯s suggestion, the Wuhou Corporation would have had to invest a significant amount to get involved with the breeding base project. Instead, now they had the Federation directly seeking them for cooperation.
If he had not been worried about Bai Qi¡¯s feelings, Zhuge Xu would have offered arger share in the profits.
Zhuge Xu wasn¡¯t the type to be greedy over small gains. He had ambitious aspirations.
¡°Since you¡¯ve agreed, Bai Qi, I¡¯ll be looking forward to the good news.¡± Xia Yi smiled slightly, and turned to Xia Xuan by his side, ¡°Xia Xuan has had some dealings with you before, Bai Qi. He is rather talented, but in terms of interpersonal skills, he mayck slightly. If he does something inappropriate, I hope you won¡¯t take it to heart.¡±
¡°Uncle Xia, you¡¯re too serious. Xia Xuan has also given me quite a bit of help, Bai Qi shook his head. He wasn¡¯t just paying lip service; if it hadn¡¯t been for Xia Xuan, Schuck would have had no way of obtaining the Titanium tinum Alloy or the Catastrophe Energy needed to maintain the Secret Realm Base.
Bai Qi would never turn away such a valuable money courier.
Chapter 284 - 280: Garulus External Armor Attachment
Chapter 284: Chapter 280: Garulu¡¯s External Armor Attachment
¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s good. You all are of the same age, you should hang out more often.¡±
Xia Yi nodded and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you must be busy with things, sol won¡¯t bother you further. I¡¯ll ask Xia Xuan to reach out to you about the Meeh Martial Research Room, you can take it over then.¡±
¡°Alright, thanks a lot, Uncle Xia.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, then sent Xia Yi and his son out of his home.
¡°Unexpectedly, Fox Xia was so generous this time, he really saw the profit behind the Spirit-Control Orb,¡± he mused.
After Xia Yi left, Zhuge Xu¡¯s expression changed abruptly. He said, ¡°Bai Qi, it would be best not to retain any of the personnel from Fox Xia¡¯s research room. If you don¡¯t mind, Uncle Zhuge can help you hire some people to work there.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, responding, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Zhuge, I get it.¡±
A Meeh Martial Research Room, even a small one, couldn¡¯t be operated by a single person. The Xia¡¯s Group would certainly have arranged some trusted minions inside.
As for their purpose, it would not stop at stealing data, they would also seek to get thetest information.
Unfortunately for them, Bai Qi never intended anyone to operate these machines.
He originally nned to demand professional Meeh Martial Research equipment from the Xia¡¯s Group to rece the junk at his home. But, unexpectedly, they were so giving. Not only did they grant him a fraction of the profits, but also an entire Meeh Martial Research Room.
To this, Bai Qi noted how good it was to have money.
Seeing that Bai Qi understood his intention, Zhuge Xu nodded and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you really are formidable not only mastering Rune Evolution, but you were also able to create something like the Spirit-Control Orb. Uncle Zhuge had a good time feeling like a Beast Master.¡±
With that, Zhuge Xu opened his coat revealing a belt studded with Spirit- Control Orb.
¡°Huh, weren¡¯t the Spirit-Control Orbs yet to be distributed?¡±
At Bai Qi¡¯s remark, Zhuge Xu chuckled, ¡°The official distribution should be in three days. But, Uncle Zhuge does have some clout in the Federation. So, I had someone get me a few.¡±
¡°The Federation even marked them with a serial number, but s, the early numbers were already reserved by others. I could only get these few.¡±
Bai Qi curiously looked at the Spirit-Control Orb Zhuge Xu handed over. Their overall structure was the same as those he¡¯d made, but the manufacturing material was different. On the Spirit Power Storage Device inside, a long serial number was marked.
¡°10000,10010,10086?!¡±
Bai Qi, looking at the serial numbers, unknowingly raised his voice. In response, Zhuge Xu asked curiously, ¡°Why, is there an issue with these numbers?¡±
¡°No, no issue, on the contrary, I think they¡¯re quite good!¡±
Bai Qi vigorously shook his head. There was no doubt that the three major mobilepanies were bound to invade the foreign world sooner orter. This was too much of a coincidence, nobody could match this.
¡°If there¡¯s no problem, that¡¯s good.¡±
Zhuge Xu took the Spirit-Control Orb returned by Bai Qi and added, ¡°Uncle Zhuge has a few things to prepare, so I won¡¯t keep you any longer. Your guys can continue your chat.¡±
Finishing his sentence, Zhuge Xu walked decisively towards the outside of the house. He didn¡¯t wait for Bai Qi¡¯s response and left directly in his car.
¡°Uncle Zhuge is still as decisive and resolute as before.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just because he¡¯s eager to make money. If there¡¯s no money to be made, he would have been slower than most,¡± figured Fengxing.
Zhuge Chen shrugged his shoulders, looked at Bai Qi, and asked, ¡°Also, you¡¯ll soon be the most famous person in the Federation. Are you prepared for that?¡±
¡°Prepared? What do I need to prepare for?¡±
A puzzled Bai Qi responded, leaving Zhuge Chen speechless.
¡°Your home address was thoroughly investigated by paparazzi the moment you became the valedictorian of the two-city joint exam. However, there wasn¡¯t much action since you went to the Association Headquarters for training right after. Do you think the paparazzi will ignore you once the Spirit-Control Orbs are distributed?¡±
¡°Ah, you have a point.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s expression changed. The ruthlessness of paparazzi was something he understood from his previous life. Once the Federation announced his identity, living in his current house would be impossible.
Should he hide out at Cha¡¯s house instead?
Yes, that was the n.
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s serious demeanor, Zhuge Chen sympathetically patted his shoulder, saying, ¡°Take care, Genius.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. How has Garulu been recently?¡±
Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to dwell on the topic and redirected the conversation.
¡°Not bad. As Garulu and I were already acquainted, having another way tomunicate has improved our bond. However, I am still rather inexperienced when ites tobat.¡±
Zhuge Chen sheepishly scratched his head. He had always thought about how to direct his pet beast inbat when he had no talent. Now that he could actually direct it, he was a little out of his depth.
¡°It¡¯s okay, you¡¯ll get used to it.¡±
Bai Qi added, ¡°I have a gift for Garulu, summon him.¡±
¡°A gift for Garulu?¡±
Zhuge Chen was somewhat confused, but obediently summoned Garulu. At the same time, Bai Qi took out a cool mech and started fitting it on Garulu.
Soon, a metallic armor that covered almost all Garulu was assembled.
Metal Twin Wings, mechanical weapons all over the body, coupled with Garulu¡¯s innate chilling aura, he looked like a so-called Steel Garulu.
¡°Is this¡mechanical modification like Schuck?¡±
Zhuge Chen knew about Schuck¡¯s situation. Seeing Garulu, whose design was simr to Schuck, he couldn¡¯t help but wonder.
¡°It¡¯s not exactly mechanical modification, strictly speaking, it should be considered as external armor.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and answered, ¡°I haven¡¯t found a way to integrate machinery and flesh yet. However, creating an external armor was rtively easy. You could think of it as a mechanical prosthetic forbat.¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded and then started to excitedly examine Garulu¡¯s brand new look.
Robotic armor was every boy¡¯s dream.
¡°Bai Qi, do you have a ce where we can battle here? Can I give it a try?¡±
After taking a look for a while, Zhuge Chen seemed eager to try; Bai Qi, who had guessed Zhuge Chen¡¯s thoughts, directly took him to the Secret Realm Base.
¡°Bai Qi, is this¡¡±
Looking at the overly expansive base in front of him, Zhuge Chen was astounded.
¡°Let¡¯s go, the battlefield is ahead, let¡¯s go try it out there.¡±
Bai Qi patted Zhuge Chen¡¯s shoulder to snap him back to reality and then started walking toward the battlefield with him.
¡°Hero, please save me!¡±
At this moment, a worm like grass suddenly bolted from the side corridor, and upon seeing Bai Qi, quickly darted into his arms, looking fearfully behind it.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Before Bai Qi could figure out what was going on, Husky and Gamma came rushing up, one holding a scalpel and the other a dinner knife, both were in a deadly mood, firmly locked onto the worm grass in Bai Qi¡¯s arms.
However, as soon as they saw Bai Qi, Beta was the first to react. He directly stabbed the scalpel in his hand into Gamma¡¯s body and then started humming a tune, as if nothing had happened. After a brief moment of surprise, Gamma also followed Beta¡¯s lead, swallowed the butter knife, and then directly converted it into energy.
¡°Are you two really nning to simmer Epsilon in a stew?!¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly, he had explicitly warned them before he left, but the thing he was worried about still happened.
This worm grass isn¡¯t a rare supplement or anything, why are they chasing it?
Howl! Howl!
(Humans, do not misunderstand, I was just seeing that Epsilon¡¯s vines are a little messy, and was just trying to help him groom. Yes, just to groom him!)
Crackle. Crack.
(Hmm, hmm, Gamma was just helping Beta, we didn¡¯t n to cook Epsilon.)
¡°Heh, do you really think I believe that?¡±
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and immediately called Alpha over. He said, ¡°Alpha, from nowon, this guy is going with you, don¡¯t let them actually stew him.¡±
Epsilon was his reserved fifth pet, if he got cooked by these two, he wouldn¡¯t know where else to find another pet.
Creak,creak.
(Okay, boss.)
Alpha nodded and took the worm grass from Bai Qi and put it on his shoulder.
¡°Um, hero, how about letting them stew me, just a few slices won¡¯t kill me.¡±
Feeling the deathly auraing from Alpha, the worm grass¡¯s body was shaking like a sieve, suddenly finding Beta and Gamma so adorable.
Howl!
(Human, you heard him, it¡¯s his own willingness!)
Beta was suddenly intrigued, but Bai Qi just ignored them and went straight to the battlefield with Zhuge Chen.
¡°Here, this is my battlefield, you can safely try your skills.¡±
Bai Qi pointed to the battlefield in front of him, hinting at Zhuge Chen to proceed at will.
¡°This exosuit will automatically respond to Garulu¡¯s minor movements, but for some other operations, Garulu has to control them itself. You¡¯ll need to take some time to familiarize yourself.¡±
¡°All right.¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded, summoned Garulu, pointed to the metal target in the battlefield, and said, ¡°Garulu, use Charge!¡±
Garulu turned into an afterimage and disappeared directly, thennded a paw on the metal target, leaving three deep w marks on it.
¡°Huh? Has Garulu¡¯s speed increased?¡±
Zhuge Chen looked at Garulu, who was faster and more destructive than usual with a bit of confusion, but quickly came to his senses.
¡°Is it because of the exosuit?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°The external armor has features to assist eleration and help exert force. Once you are familiar with it, the effect should be even better.¡±
Zhuge Chen: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Oh right, let Garulu try this feature. This is my magnum opus, no big deal about the rest.¡±
Bai Qi murmured to Zhuge Chen for a while. Although Zhuge Chen was somewhat skeptical, he still conveyed Bai Qi¡¯s words to Garulu.
Howl¡
Apanied by a long howl, a gust of frost started to form around Garulu and began to gather in its mouth. However, runes suddenly lit up on the external armor, and it began to actively draw energy from Garulu.
Then, two missiles with blue rune marks flew out from under Garulu¡¯s wings and directly hit the metal target not far away.
A lot of chill escaped from the missile, instantly freezing the metal target. Afterward, the target shattered under the impact of the explosion, turning into frost on the ground.
The absolute freeze, a sess!
Chapter 285 - 281: Rune Mechanical Armour
Chapter 285: Chapter 281: Rune Mechanical Armour
¡°Is¡ Is this still the Arctic Ice Wolf¡¯s Ice st?¡±
Zhuge Chen looked somewhat surprised at the target in front of Garulu, which had turned into countless ice shards. He struggled to equate this with the Arctic Ice Wolf¡¯s signature skill, Ice st.
How did he remember it? Wasn¡¯t Ice st supposed to freeze the target for a while and then cause a bit of frost damage?
¡°Of course not. It¡¯s just that the external armor absorbed the energy of the Arctic Ice Wolf and produced this effect after amplifying it with ice n runes. Hm, I call it Extreme Frost Gas!¡±
Bai Qi smiled. Recently, he had been working on the technology of mechanical flesh fusion. Although he hadn¡¯t made much progress, he had inadvertently created this piece of external armor. From the looks of it, the result seemed quite good.
Hm, it seemed to have consumed quite a bit of energy, though.
Bai Qi nced at Garulu, who looked noticeably tired after having his energy absorbed by the armor, and quietly recorded it in his personal AL
Another controlling device should be added to the energy absorption system. It would be best to add an independent power source inside the armor.
Too bad he hadn¡¯t yet found a way to fuse machinery and flesh. Otherwise, energy utilization could surely be taken to a new level, eliminating this hassle.
¡°Extreme Frost Gas?¡±
Zhuge Chen looked at the armor Garulu was wearing, still shining with blue runes, and it took him quite a while to respond, ¡°So, did you specifically design this armor to strengthen spirit controllers¡¯panion creatures, Bai Qi?¡± ¡°Strengthen a spirit controller¡¯spanion creature? Not really. This should be considered an idental oue.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head in confusion. His only aim was to research the technology of mechanical flesh fusion and then trade it for Seven Stage technology from Professor Chu. He didn¡¯t think too much about the other implications.
After all, thepanion creatures of spirit controllers could also evolve. With the right materials, they could certainly be improved. At most, the upgraded creature might look down on its spirit controller and escape.
But Zhuge Chen¡¯s words did give him some inspiration.
An external armor for enhancingpanion creatures seemed pretty promising.
¡°Beast Master, as a fellow mechanical beast master, I should remind you that you have too many projects to research recently. Please don¡¯t keep distracting yourself,¡± Schuck, who had alsoe to observe the data, couldn¡¯t help but chime in, sensing Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts.
¡°Do I have many projects?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion. He had Alpha for runes, Schuck for mechanics, and Delta for biology. Why did he feel so idle?
¡°Forget it, pretend I didn¡¯t say anything.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s response, Schuck sighed helplessly.
It was up to fate whether he was lucky or unlucky to have ended up with such a Beast Master who only knew how to start things but never finish them.
Even though there were so many worthwhile projects to dive into, none were being seriously pursued because of his good talent. Did he think it was okay to be so capricious?
Bai Qi, seeing that Schuck was not going to push further, didn¡¯t bother to deal with these thoughts anymore. Instead, he continued to think about the feasibility of the external armor.
If he temporarily abandoned the technology of flesh-machine fusion, to make this kind of external armor morebat-effective, he would have to improve the energy absorption and control system. It might be time-consuming, but probably not a big issue. He could even install an energy storage device to absorb normally wasted energy for future use.
Thebat structure might be more troublesome. Although the Beast Master Association currently only offered three types of beasts to choose from, the variety of beasts would surely increase once Spirit-Control orbs became popr. Then, different attributes, races, and body types would demand various designs of external armor.
It seemed that one person might not be able to handle it all.
¡°Bai Qi? Bai Qi?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi mumbling to himself as if in a daze, Zhuge Chen couldn¡¯t help but gently tap Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder to wake him up.
¡°Are you okay?¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m fine. And I have to thank you for your advice.¡±
¡°Advice? What did I say?¡±
Zhuge Chen seemed confused, then noticed Bai Qi had started to disassemble the armor on Garulu. He quickly questioned, ¡°You said it was a gift for Garulu. Why are you taking it back?¡±
¡°The technology is a bit crude now. I¡¯ve just had an idea. I¡¯ll give it back to you after I modify it.¡±
While skillfully disassembling the external armor, Bai Qi asked Zhuge Chen, ¡°By the way, I remember the Wuhou Corporation has a Mechanical Engineering subsidiary, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded, ¡°It does, but it hasn¡¯t made much progress because there aren¡¯t any good mechanical engineers or beast masters there.¡±
¡°As long as it¡¯s there, you should ask Uncle Zhuge if he minds adding a distinctive creation.¡±
¡°Distinctive creation?¡±
Zhuge Chen was stunned, but quickly realized what Bai Qi meant by looking at the external armor in Bai Qi¡¯s hand. ¡°You mean this external armor?¡±
Bai Qi smiled, ¡°Of course. I think selling this battle-strength-enhancing armor inside the pet store would be quite popr, right?¡±
¡°More than popr. If we time it right, it will definitely be a hit!¡±
An entrepreneurial fire had awakened inside of Zhuge Chen as he twirled his eyes through business ns. ¡°During the early stages of the Spirit-Control orb distribution, people will probably not pay much attention to battle power. But the Elf House can join with the Beast Master Association to host apetition among spirit controllers. Then when the external armor enters and wins dominantly, everyone¡¯s attention will be piqued. After that, the Elf House can gradually rollout¡¡±
Aplete business n sprang from Zhuge Chen¡¯s mouth, causing Bai Qi to listen with astonishment.
This was only about the external armor. Would this guy go mad if he told him about the special orb?
Sure enough, what¡¯s hidden in one¡¯s bloodline couldn¡¯t be concealed.
Awo?
(Human, do you think you¡¯re any different from him?)
Beta silently nced at Bai Qi, who sighed deeply. Speaking of bloodline inheritance, their Beast Master was the best inheritor, after all. He would never forget those two lunatics who were keen to slice him up the moment they met.
Inherited from the family, ah, inherited from the family-
Star Mechanics Academy.
The Rune Evolution Special Team.
Due to the advent of the second stage evolution, the workload of the special team had surged. Apart from testing thepatibility between the first and the second stage evolution of different pets, their main focus was gradually shifting towards third stage evolution.
Compared to the traceable second stage evolution, the difficulty of third stage evolution was simply infuriating. In other words, they were absolutely lost and could only specte based on Bai Qi¡¯s insights into the second stage evolution. ¡°Professor Dong, these are some of my guesses about third stage evolution for the past couple of days. Would you like to take a look?¡±
A middle-aged man with a steady demeanor walked up to Professor Dong with a document and said, ¡°I have strengthened the structure of the Soul Strengthening for pets. Maybe it could stimte a qualitative change in their spirits, thereby allowing the third stage of evolution.¡±
Professor Dong took over the document, carefully read it, and then shook his head, saying, ¡°At best, this can only be considered as an enhancement of the second stage evolution. Moreover, the excessive focus on the spiritual aspect could likely harm pets.¡±
Upon hearing this, the man froze. After rechecking the document again, he found the problem.
¡°It seems that the third stage evolution is indeed more difficult than the second.¡±
The man sighed, then asked, ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Bai Qi¡ I mean, Leader Bai? I heard he has returned to Gusu City. Why hasn¡¯t hee to visit the Rune Evolution Special Team?¡±
Snickering, Professor Dong replied, ¡°I¡¯m not surprised at all. Bai Qi¡¯s main focus isn¡¯t on rune evolution. Also, we can¡¯t always pin our hopes on a young man, can we? If this gets out, we¡¯ll lose face.¡±
Hearing this, the man felt somewhat ashamed. Indeed, after Bai Qi had effortlessly solved the longstanding problem of second stage evolution, they started to think of him unconsciously whenever they encountered a problem. Now even thinking about it made them feel quite embarrassed.
¡°Huh? Professor Dong, are you busy? I¡¯lle backter.¡±
Just as the two were contemting, Bai Qi suddenly appeared at Professor Dong¡¯s office door. Seeing Professor Dong and the other man deep in thought, he nned to leave right away.
As the leader of the Rune Evolution Special Team, this was the first time Bai Qi hade here. He was already a bit guilty, only growing more so when he saw the busy members.
¡°Come in. I¡¯m not busy. Plus, as the leader, even if we are busy, we ought to stop.¡±
Hearing the slight reprimand from Professor Dong, Bai Qi turned red with embarrassment. Coughing awkwardly, he looked at the middle-aged man next to Professor Dong and asked, ¡°Who might this be?¡±
¡°Mo Lin, a researcher of the Rune Evolution Special Team. Leader Bai, I look forward to future coborations.¡±
¡°Oh, not at all.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and didn¡¯t reply to him.
If not for an issue, he reckoned he probably wouldn¡¯te to the special team. Perhaps Mo Lin wouldn¡¯t even see him tomorrow.
¡°By the way, Bai Qi, do you have anything for the special team? Or do you have some insight into three-stage evolution?¡±
Professor Dong looked at Bai Qi in confusion, while Mo Lin suddenly became spirited.
Could it be that on Bai Qi¡¯s first visit to the special team, he was going to help them ovee a difficult problem again?
¡°Third stage evolution? Of course not.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand. He had identally researched the second stage evolution from the General Terracotta. As for the third stage evolution? He had no ideas at all.
Even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t have time to research it now, otherwise, he was afraid that Schuck and the others would quit working immediately.
¡°Then what is it?¡±
Although slightly disappointed, Professor Dong didn¡¯t find it strange and continued asking, ¡°You don¡¯t seem like the sort who would wander around aimlessly-¡±
Bai Qi grinned sheepishly and said, ¡°I worked on something new recently, but I might be too busy to handle it alone, so I thought I¡¯d ask the special team for help.¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
At this, Professor Dong¡¯s interest was piqued. Mo Lin perked up his ears, looking forward eagerly.
Bai Four Core, this was how Bai Qi was referred to on the inte. Although it carried a sense of mockery and jealousy, Mo Lin thought it suited him quite well.
As such, he was eager to see what extraordinary research Bai Qi was working on that he would seek their help.
Thud!
Under the astonished gaze of Professor Dong and the others, a metallic armor radiating a silver glow was brought out by Bai Qi.
¡°Is this¡ is this a mechanical artifact? Leader Bai, you might havee to the wrong ce. You should ask for help in the MechWar Department.¡±
Seeing this, Mo Lin couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. However, the moment he saw the runes lighting up on it, he closed his mouth.
Patting the external armor in front of him, Bai Qi said, ¡°This Rune Mechanical Armor requires knowledge of both mechanics and runes. So, I thought I¡¯de and ask if anyone was willing to help.¡±
Chapter 286 - Two Hundred and Eighty-Two:
Chapter 286: Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty-Two:
Dreand Study Method
¡°Rune Mechanical Armament?¡±
Professor Dong raised an eyebrow and said, ¡°Are you nning to rebuild the
Dual Sky Meeh?¡±
Initially, Bai Qi had mentioned simr ideas in the White Meeh Analysis Team. Now, seeing that Bai Qi had started to weaponize mechanics and runes, it was not surprising that Professor Dong would make such a conjecture.
¡°Not necessarily.¡±
Bai Qi shookhis head, saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t the Spirit-Control Orb about to be distributed? I thought about boosting the power of the Spirit Controllers, so I created this piece of Rune Mechanical armor. I¡¯ve already designed the basic structure, but considering the diversity of beast species, I reallyck the energy to focus on the subsequent designs and poprization. I was thinking of asking for your help. Professor Dong.¡±
Upon hearing this, Professor Dong understand and was amazed as he examined the foundational design of the Rune Mechanical Armament he epted from
Bai Qi.
¡°Did you research all this recently?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°Yes, I have been working on it for the past few days. It¡¯s a little rushed, and there are still quite a few issues, but it¡¯s not a big deal, we can talk about thatter.¡±
Mo Lin:¡±¡¡±
He couldplete such aplex design in just a few days; were they even of the same species?
¡°I see.¡±
Clearly, Professor Dong was used to Bai Qi¡¯s incredible feats. He carefully stored the design and said, ¡°There should be no problem with the runes. Recently, many new research members have been in a slump because of the three-stages evolution, it will be good for them to switch their focus.¡± ¡°However, this also involves knowledge of mechanics, which I am powerless to
deal with.¡±
Bai Qi smiled at this and said, ¡°I¡¯ve taken care of the mechanics. Professor Chu has agreed to help.¡±
Owing to the Rune Mechanical Armament¡¯s focus on mechanics, Bai Qi had approached Professor Chu first. Professor Chu was stunned and even mumbled about starting a new research group on Rune Mechanical Armament. But when Bai Qi mentioned that he would need help from the Rune Department, Professor Chu suddenly fell silent for some reason.
Ultimately, Professor Chu agreed to help with the external structure design of the Rune Mechanical Armament, but Bai Qi would have to sort out the runes himself.
In addition, since the core patent certificate for the Spirit-Control Orb had been issued, Bai Qi conveniently obtained the Ultimate Engineering knowledge he had longed for from Professor Chu.
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s ount, Professor Dong could not help but shake his head, saying, ¡°The old fellow still hasn¡¯t given up on trying to poprize mech warfare to all beasts.¡±
¡°Since old Chu has agreed to you, naturally, there will be no problem on my end. As for Chu¡¯s suggestion of a Rune Mechanical Armament Research Team¡well, let him deal with it.¡±
Saying this, Professor Dong stood up, patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, and said, ¡°I originally thought that in a few years, you would achieve sesses not inferior to those of several Great Emperors. Now, it appears that I was too
conservative.¡±
¡°Once this Rune Mechanical Armament has been fully poprized, the bnce between humans and ferocious beasts may be broken.
¡°Well, isn¡¯t that a bit exaggerated¡.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in bewilderment. He just wanted to enhance Garulu for Zhuge Chen and fulfill his own obsession. Asking for the help of Professors Chu and Dong was just to find some reliable researchers for the Wuhou Corporation.
Why was there talk of establishing a research group again?
After Bai Qi exined his original thoughts to Professor Dong, Professor Dong gave a bitter smile and said, ¡°I really don¡¯t know what to say to you. The Zhuge family is really lucky to know you. It seems that the Federation is about to gam another major corporation.¡±
¡°Alright, since the Wuhou Corporation is also involved, just let them take the lead in setting up the research group. I will help you select some people in the next few days. You should also notify old Chu, I think he ¡®ll be quite enthusiastic.¡±
¡°Thankyou, Professor Dong.¡±
With the issue resolved, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, packed up the weapon in front of him and bid farewell to the others before leaving.
Eager to give Zhuge Chen a reply, he came to the institute first. Now that things were sorted out, he naturally went to inform Zhuge Chen.
By the way, delivering the brand new Frozen Armor to Garulu.
Not until Bai Qi had left did Mo Line to his senses, saying, ¡°I can¡¯t believe I forgot to ask Leader Bai to help with the three-stages evolution. That was a mistake.¡±
Given that Bai Qi was able to research Rune Mechanical Armament in a few days, Mo Lin increasingly believed that Bai Qi could also quickly break through the bottleneck of the three-stages evolution. He wanted to catch up with him immediately.
¡°It¡¯s not necessary. When he wants to research it, he will,¡± said Professor Dong with a smile. ¡°You go ahead and help me select some young people with solid basic skills from our group in the next few days. You can also selectively pick a few from the Rune Department to report to the Wuhou Corporation.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡±
Mo Lin nodded. The research potential of the Rune Mechanical Armament was no less than that of the Rune Evolution. Speaking ofprehensiveness, it was even higher. There would definitely be many people willing to participate.
In the Bai Vi.
Bai Qiucha looked at the paparazzi outside the vi wall who were racking their brains to hide their identities. She turned to Bai Qi, who was now lyingfortably on the sofa, and said, ¡°I wondered why you came to my house for no reason. So, you came here to avoid the paparazzi.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged and said, ¡°I had no choice. Today, the Spirit-Control Orb is being released, and my home is entirely blocked by paparazzi. If it weren¡¯t for the snare supervision, I would suspect that they were about to break in directly. Compared to my ce, your home is a little safer.
Although Bai Qiucha also often had problems with the paparazzi, considering that her teacher often visited her home, these paparazzi were rtively
restrained.
However, the storm caused by the Spirit-Control Orb was too great. Even with the legendary name of Bai Heguang suppressing it, the crazy paparazzi came to the doorstep of Bai Qiucha¡¯s house. Bai Qi even saw a few flying mounts being used to guard the sky.
You should know that now it was already autumn. The cold wind had begun to blow next to Taize Lake. It¡¯s notfortable to be that high up.
Making a living these days was not easy.
¡°But it¡¯s no wonder. The Spirit-Control Orb is indeed shocking.¡±
Bai Qiucha smiled and summoned the Thunderstorm Mouse, saying, ¡°Within the Federation, at least a third of the people are talentless, not to mention those Beast Masters who are unable to form contracts because their pets have deserted or died. The appearance of the Spirit-Control Orb is indeed a dreame true for them.¡±
Although Bai Qiucha himself was a Beast Master, because of his Spirit Master talent, he could only have the Bone Dragon as his only pet. Despite its significant advantages, sometimes he also envied others who could contract with different beasts.
Therefore, Bai Qiucha could truly understand the feelings of those talentless and those whose contract slots were damaged.
¡°Anyway, I¡¯lly low at your ce for now. Once I finish my busy schedule, this craze should be over.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand and then took out a stylish set of gold armor, saying: ¡°This is the Thunderstorm armor I specifically designed for the Thunderstorm Mouse. It can enhance the Thunderstorm Mouse¡¯sbat power. Consider it rent and meals for the next few days.¡±
¡°Thunderstorm armor?¡±
Bai Qiucha took the Thunderstorm armor with a somewhat puzzled expression. Before he could react, Bai Qi tossed him a cell phone.
¡°I¡¯ll probably be in the Secret Realm for the next few days. If anyone is looking for me, remember to take the call for me.¡±
Without waiting for Bai Qiucha¡¯s response, Bai Qi disappeared directly into the Secret Realm.
So Bai Qi purposely came to his house just to find someone to answer his phone calls?
Bai Qiucha sighed helplessly, but still kept the phone, then started researching the Thunderstorm armor.
¡°Thunderstorm Armor? This is an armor to enhance pets. When did Bai Qie up with this?¡±
Looking at this incredibly sophisticated creation in front of him, Bai Qiucha shookhis head, then followed the instructions inside the Thunderstorm Armor to install it on the Thunderstorm Mouse.
¡°Thunderstorm Mouse, how do you feel?¡±
After putting on the Thunderstorm Armor, the Thunderstorm Mouse suddenly looked impressive, and even a small metal hammer was installed on its right paw.
Thunder?
The Thunderstorm Mouse was also curious about its new look. It ran around and then curiously picked up the metal hammer and gently tapped it against
Bai Qiucha.
In an instant, a powerful thunder and lightning burst from the hammer, directly electrocuting Bai Qiucha until he was charred all over. The Thunderstorm Mouse immediately dropped the hammer from its hand and nervously circled around Bai Qiucha.
Thunder! Thunder!
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine.¡±
Bai Qiucha opened his mouth and let out a puff of ck smoke. The powerful physique brought by Spirit Master talent finally came in handy at this time. ¡°This is not strengthening, but rather¡ abnormal¡
Secret Realm Base.
Bai Qi ced the smart brain containing Ultimate Engineering in front of the silkworm mushrooms and said, ¡°Later, broadcast the content of this smart brain into my dreand. Make sure it¡¯splete without any errors, understand?¡±
¡°Erm, I¡¯ll do my best.¡±
The silkworm mushrooms nodded somewhat at a loss, looking at the plethora of strange and peculiar mechanical structures on the smart brain, it seriously doubted whether it could create such aplex dreand.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡±
Seeing that the silkworm mushrooms understood hismand, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, theny inside the healing cabin.
Though time in the dream feels faster than the outside world, it¡¯s merely an eleration of brain signal transmission. Although it can save a lot of learning time, the strain on the body is definitely not small, so it¡¯s safer toy low in the healing cabin first.
If the method of learning in dreams is feasible, he won¡¯t have to worry about not having enough time to study in the future.
Soon, silkworm mushrooms followed Bai Qi¡¯s instructions to project the smart brain into the dreand.
To reduce stress, the Silkworm mushrooms specifically reduced the range of the dreand and focused on creating this smart brain, so it waspleted smoothly.
Awoo?
(It¡¯s really possible? Then this doggo wants it too!)
Crack crack.
(Epsilon, create abat dreand for me too, just project me in it.)
Gargle gargle!
(Gamma, help Gamma transfer these ingredients and recipes in too.)
Blub blub.
(The same goes for Delta. Just project this Biology Building in.)
Watching the beasts constantly describing their demands, silkworm mushrooms looked distressed but followed their requests and patiently constructed the dreand.
A vine has to bend where it¡¯s under a roof.
But what on earth did he do to deserve this¡
Chapter 287 - 283: Confidentiality Agreement
Chapter 287: Chapter 283: Confidentiality Agreement
¡°Frost Wolf, use Frostbite!¡±
¡°Fire w Sparrow, use Fire w!¡±
¡°Great Sun Flower, use Leaf Cutter!¡±
One week after the distribution of the Spirit-Control Orbs as well as the free pets was over, the fever for them continued to surge. The streets of Gusu City were teeming with Spirit Controllers battling their pets in temporary battlefields.
These individuals, who had initially had no hope of forming a pact with a pet, were experiencing the thrill ofmanding a pet in battle for the first time. They would have battled day and night if not for the fear of lowering their pets¡¯ affection for them.
Nheless, this didn¡¯t prevent them from expressing their gratitude and admiration toward Bai Qi, the inventor of the Spirit-Control Orb.
Bai Qi!
A sophomore who had managed to change their perceptions of Beast Control multiple times. If the invention of Rune Evolution, which had only impacted the Undead Department and thus had caused only a slight sensation, then with the advent of the Spirit-Control Orb, Bai Qi had truly be a household name in the Federation.
The most direct manifestation of this was the erection of Bai Qi¡¯s portrait on the Wall of Fame at Star Mechanics Academy.
¡°Water, fire, nt. Those are indeed the ssic attributes for Beast Masters,¡± Bai Qi wrapped himself up warmly and watched the three pets battling on the battlefield, which were almost all of the same kind.
Although heined about theck of creativity, these three attributes were indeed the most chosen among Beast Masters. Thus, it wasn¡¯t inappropriate for the association to distribute them to the Spirit Controllers.
However, they were only Servant Level pets; the Association seemed rather conservative.
Frost Wolf, the pre-evolved form of the Arctic Ice Wolf and of a simrly cool temperament. Fire w Sparrow and Great Sun Flower were no different, all being mild species, and their evolved forms were no exception.
But that was actually a good thing. Pets trained from a lower level were less likely to rebel when they grew stronger. Otherwise, the number of strayed pets in the Federation would increase.
¡°Hey, did you hear? The first Spirit Controller Contest co-organized by the Wuhou Dojo and the Beast Master Association will be held in three days. The winner will receive a mystery prize. Hurry up and sign up!¡±
¡°Damn, a Spirit Controller Contest? Can I show off my skills there?¡±
¡°Howbrazen! Dare to be so bold in my presence!¡±
Spirit Controller Contest? The Wuhou Corporation sure responded quickly.
Hearing the chatter around him, Bai Qi smiled faintly. He summoned Delta and headed straight for the Association, watching the many Spirit Controllers scrambling towards the Association.
¡°Wind God Winged Dragon? Damn, I was actually standing next to the big shot without even realizing!¡±
¡°Congrattions, you can donate your eyes. Oh wait, no one might even want them.¡±
¡°Tsk, I merely brushed past Bai Qi. Why are you guys so excited?¡±
¡°Then why are you standing where the big shot was just standing?¡±
¡°Hehe¡ Maybe I can soak in some of the big shot¡¯s aura, it might help with training.¡±
¡°23333¡¡±
Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi arrived at the Association¡¯s conference room without any issue and just bumped into President Qin and Luo Xiang on their way out.
¡°Impressive, Bai Qi, you¡¯ve actually arrived early. It seems this Spirit Controller Contest will end perfectly.¡±
President Qin nced at Bai Qi and couldn¡¯t help but tease. Luo Xiang also smiled and added, ¡°After all, he¡¯s four-core drive now, his efficiency should be higher than before.¡±
¡°Please go easy on me, you two.¡±
Upon hearing their words, Bai Qi smiled wryly.
Thanks to Delta¡¯s Void Echo, Wind God Winged Dragon could travel from the Bai Vi to the Association in just a little time. Bai Qi even had some leisure time to roam around.
However, his unusual early arrival led to him being teased. It seemed he should aim to arrive just in time in the future.
¡°Alright, no more teasing.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s expression, President Qin didn¡¯t push it any further. ¡°You¡¯ve heard about the first Spirit Controller Contest, right?¡±
¡°I heard about it on my way here. The announcement came quicker than I expected.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Zhuge Chen had mentioned it before, but Bai Qi didn¡¯t think it woulde this quickly. He initially thought they would ride the wave of the Spirit-Control Orbs a little longer.
¡°No choice, someone started a ruckus again.¡±
President Qin rolled his eyes irritably. ¡°Zhuge Xu has been to see me. Your Rune Mechanical Armour has obtained the strong support of the Machinery and Rune Departments, and initial production has already begun at Wuhou Corporation¡¯s subsidiary-right?¡±
¡°Well, Wuhou Corporation is moving quickly.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi scratched his head. A week ago, when he had given the basic structure of the Rune Mechanical Armour to Professor Dong and Professor Chu, he hadn¡¯t asked about it again. He had been hiding away at the Secret Realm Base, furiously learning through inhaling the Dreand vapors from the insects.
If it weren¡¯t for Schuck reminding him to check if there were any matters to deal with, he would probably still be sleeping at the base.
¡°I knew it, you¡¯re getting better and better at delegating.¡±
President Qin sighed and said, ¡°Your Rune Mechanical Armour has finally fulfilled Professor Chu¡¯s long-held wish. He has teamed up with Professor Dong to help you apply for the patent. This time, it should not be a core patent. It should be ssified under the first-tier patents of Rune mechanical devices.¡± ¡°However, I estimate that the profit from the Rune Evolution Armament may exceed all your previous patents.¡±
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, saying, ¡°In a while, the Thirteenth Bureau ising over to discuss the supply issue of Rune Mechanical Armour. You might be the youngest military armament designer in Federation history.¡±
¡°Applied for a patent again?¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips and casually nodded his head.
Things like patents were just about earning more money. Bai Qi expressed that he had lost interest in small fortunes. It would be better to give him two pieces of mythical resources.
Well, speaking of which, would the Thirteenth Bureau bring over Beta¡¯s mythical resource when they came over this time, which would allow him to give the pets a boost?
¡°You really are¡¡±
Seeing this, President Qin sighed and walked into the conference room first, saying, ¡°Before the people from the Thirteenth Bureau arrive, I want to discuss the Spirit Controller Battle Competition with you.¡±
¡°Spirit Controller Battle Competition?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned. A bad premonition rose in his heart, and his face fell even further after hearing President Qin¡¯s words.
¡°As the developer of the Spirit Control Orb, you are definitely participating in the first Spirit Controller Battle Competition in Federation history. So, I have discussed with Zhuge Xu and we have put you in the referee team.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, you just need to preside over the final battle and the final award ceremony.¡±
Seeing President Qin with a look of ¡°I have considered everything for you¡±, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, saying, ¡°Well then, can I refuse?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
Abrilliant smile appeared on President Qin¡¯s face, and he pointed to Luo Xiang next him, saying, ¡°Since Gusu City is the first city to host the Spirit Controller Battle Competition, both the Beast Master Association and the Federation have sent representatives. Well, Luo Xiang, like you, is also in the referee group. You havepany.¡±
Luo Xiang walked over to Bai Qi and said with a smile, ¡°To be honest, though I knew it was inevitable, I did not expect us to be colleagues so soon. It seems like the burden on my shoulders will soon fall onto yours.¡±
¡°Thank you¡¡±
Bai Qi nced at both of them wordlessly. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, ¡°What about the Federation? Is the Thirteenth Bureauing?¡± ¡°For apetition of historical significance like this, the Thirteenth Bureau will naturally participate.¡±
Just then, a familiar voice came from the door. Bai Qi turned his head and found that it wasn¡¯t anyone else but Yi Yu himself.
¡°Minister Yi, long time no see.¡±
As a greeting, President Qin nodded at Yi Yu, and then gestured him to sit down. ¡°Sorry, I ran into some issues on the way, so I am a bitte.¡±
Yi Yu bowed slightly to a few people with an expression of regret, then looked at Luo Xiang and said, ¡°Master Luo, I didn¡¯t get the chance to thank you for thest time at the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡±
¡°It was just a mission, no need to thank me.¡±
Luo Xiang responded with a slight smile, and then stepped aside, leaving Bai Qi to take the center stage. Yi Yu also didn¡¯t want to beat around the bush. He directly took out a metal box and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Here is the mythical resource I promised to give you, Bai Qi. With this, our deal isplete.¡±
Sure enough, the mythical resource has been brought over!
Looking at the box Yi Yu had pushed toward him, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. He directly epted it, and was about to give it a look when he suddenly realized that the eyes of the three people in the conference room were all focused on him. He felt slightly awkward, scratched his head, held back his curiosity, and put it away. Seeing this, Yi Yu didn¡¯t find it strange. He smiled and said, ¡°Now that the transaction is over, let¡¯s return to the main matter.¡±
¡°This time, in addition to representing the Thirteenth Bureau to participate in the first Spirit Controller Battle Competition in Gusu City, I also represent Director Wang to inquire about your views on the production and selling responsibility of the Spirit-Control Orb.¡±
¡°However, when I left, ording to Xia Yan, it seems that you, Bai Qi, have already made a choice?¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head. Given the rtionship between Xia¡¯s Group and the Thirteenth Bureau, they must havemunicated in advance. Now they were asking him just to go through the procedure.
¡°In that case, I will report as it is. Next, there is another matter.¡±
With a serious look on his face, Yi Yu took out a document and solemnly handed it to Bai Qi.
¡°Director Wang takes the matter of Rune Mechanical Armour very seriously and hopes to include it in the Federation Military¡¯s military industrial product list. Considering the current situation of the Federation, we need you to sign a confidentiality agreement.¡±
¡°A confidentiality agreement?¡±
Looking at Yi Yu with bewilderment, Bai Qi saw that both President Qin and Luo Xiang had a look of understanding on their faces, as if they had anticipated this. ¡°That¡¯s right, the Rune Mechanical Armour has entered the field of warfare. So, we can¡¯t disclose your identity like we did with the Spirit-Control Orb. It would attract too much attention from the tribes.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, handed Bai Qi another stack of documents, and said, ¡°Just to be safe, we have created a false identity for you to apply for the patent for the Rune Mechanical Armour. We also have colleagues going to handle the other people in the know.¡±
¡°But we, the Thirteenth Bureau, can only try to limit the spread of this information. You, Bai Qi, still need to be cautious.¡±
As Bai Qi listened to what Yi Yu was saying, a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.
Why does it feel like the situation is getting out of hand?
Chapter 288 - 284: Void Pupil Amber
Chapter 288: Chapter 284: Void Pupil Amber
Bai Qi took the confidentiality agreement and briefly looked it over, discerning from the wording the importance that the Federation ced on this matter. ¡°Actually, the Federation has never stopped researching this type of universal mechanical armor, especially after you suggested theyout of rune mechanics, Bai Qi. A lot of people have already started rted research, it¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect you to be a step ahead.¡±
Yi Yuughed and said, ¡°You really don¡¯t need to be nervous, Bai Qi. This confidentiality agreement is just to avoid the worst-case scenario. Normally it won¡¯t be needed.¡±
¡°Oh I see¡¡±
Bai Qi nodded, no longer worrying about the issue of identity. He thought for a moment, then asked again, ¡°Given this, does the producer of the rune mechanical armor need to be changed?¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s toote for a change now, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Yi Yuughed once more and said, ¡°The Thirteenth Bureau has already signed a military supply agreement with the Wuhou Corporation. They¡¯ll be responsible for producing the rune mechanical armor.¡±
¡°As for providing them to Spirit Controllers, Director Wang thinks it¡¯s fine, but there should be some restrictions regarding the level of weapon destruction.¡±
¡°By the way, the next time you have research results, Bai Qi, I hope you can contact the Federation or the Association first. This will reduce the workload for all of us.¡±
Hearing Yi Yu¡¯s words, Bai Qi coughed awkwardly a couple of times and said reluctantly, ¡°Should I report it now?¡±
¡°Do you really have a new study?¡±
suddenly not able to sit still anymore, President Qin, who had always been quiet, asked, ¡°Weren¡¯t you studying rune mechanical armor recently?¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t that a week ago?¡±
President Qin: ¡°¡¡±
So, your units of time for research projects are weeks rather than years?
¡°President Qin, I think we should just lock Bai Qi in the Six Tower and let him focus on research, his Beast Master activity really isn¡¯t suitable for him.¡±
Seeing the way Bai Qi looked like he thought this was a given, Luo Xiang suddenly chimed in, nced at the silent Yi Yu nearby and said, ¡°If worstes to worst, lock him in the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
¡°I thinkthat would work.¡±
President Qin sounded quite convinced. It¡¯s dangerous to let such a person run around freely. Who knows who might kidnap him one day. Instead of that, it¡¯s better to confine him.
Yes, this n is feasible.
¡°Bai Qi, why don¡¯t you first tell us what new thing you havee up with?¡±
Seeing the situation, Yi Yuughed and asked.
¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing. I have just designed some Spirit-Control Orbs specific to different attribute pets. In theory, it could increase the probability of contracted pets.¡±
Bai Qi took out several Spirit-Control Orbs of different colors and said, ¡°Originally I nned to just have a bit of fun with it. But since you guys brought it up, I thought I¡¯d showyou.¡±
¡°So, it¡¯s like an improved version of Spirit-Control Orbs.¡±
Yi Yu took the orb and looked it over, ¡°I get the general idea. I will report back to Director Wang.¡±
After saying this, Yi Yu paused and took out a phone, saying, ¡°This phone is connected through Snare. It¡¯s the best way to avoid eavesdropping. If you have any new research or need patent application, you can directly contact me using this phone.¡±
Connection via Snare, isn¡¯t that a private line?
Damn, it¡¯s getting bigger and bigger.
Bai Qi took the phone, toyed with it for a while, then put it away.
¡°So yeah, I thinkyour problem has pretty much been resolved, so now let¡¯s discuss the Spirit Controllerpetition.¡±
President Qin gave a light cough, drawing everyone¡¯s attention. He said, ¡°The enthusiasm for Spirit Controllerpetitions is quite high right now. After thispetition, it would probably even be more popr. The Association¡¯s idea is that the Federation should best issue a bill on thepetition between Spirit Controllers and Beast Masters, to avoid some unnecessary conflicts.¡±
Yi Yu nodded and said, ¡°Director Wang has mentioned this to me before leaving. The draft has already been¡ ¡±
They were deep in discussion, while Bai Qi, who had little interest in the matter, had be a bit drowsy.
Indeed, studying was more enjoyable¡
¡°Epsilon, continue to deploy the Dreand.¡±
God knows how much time had passed, Bai Qi who had been dozing off, was suddenly startled awake by the sound of a chair being pushed back. He lifted his head to find that the sun was about to set. It appeared that President Qin and Yi Yu had justpleted their discussion.
Damn, he vaguely remembered it being morning when he had arrived.
Feeling his stomach starting to protest, Bai Qi asked, ¡°Can I go now?¡±
¡°Get away quickly, you¡¯re of no use.¡±
President Qin red at him, but there was no sign of annoyance on his face.
After producing so many research results in a row, even if Bai Qi was a Four Stage Beast Master, he surely couldn¡¯t hold up. So during their discussion, all three of them chose to ignore Bai Qi, allowing him to take a break.
¡°Ok, so I will go now.¡±
Having studied in the Dreand for so long, Bai Qi felt refreshed and was nning to head home and put into practice what he¡¯d learned.
But, before that, he needed to go back and use this Mythical Level resource on Beta.
In the three weeks back in Gusu City, he had been harassed by Beta countless times, and needed to shut it up urgently.
With that thought, Bai Qi hastened his steps and left.
¡°Well then, I won¡¯t intrude on you two any longer.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi leave, Yi Yu didn¡¯t linger any longer. He said, ¡°I have some matters to deal with. I will appear on time for the Spirit Controllerpetition.¡±
¡°Alright, Minister Yi, thank you foryour efforts.¡±
President Qin nodded and escorted Yi Yu out of the meeting room before returning to his office with Luo Xiang.
¡°The headquarters specifically sent you over; it can¡¯t only be for the Spirit Controllerpetition, right?¡±
Hearing President Qin¡¯s inquiry, Luo Xiang shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, ¡°Looks like I can¡¯t keep secrets from you.¡±
¡°Recently, several Inheritance Secret Realms have appeared in the Western Region. Although we haven¡¯t had time to verify their authenticity, several corporations in the area have already taken action. Bai Chuanqi also believes their credibility is high, so they asked me to bring Bai Qi along to try our luck.¡± ¡°Inheritance Secret Realm? Are they human or¡¡±
At President Qin¡¯s words, he frowned slightly. After seeing Luo Xiang¡¯s smile, he immediately understood.
¡°Do you know whose Inheritance Secret Realm it is?¡±
Luo Xiang shook his head and said, ¡°We can¡¯t be sure yet, but based on the information we¡¯ve gathered, it might be an Inheritance Secret Realm from Mythical Creatures.¡±
¡°Mythical Creatures¡¡±
President Qin nodded and said, ¡°No wonder the headquarters wants you to go there. But is it too early for Bai Qi, at his current level, to enter the Mythical Secret Realm?¡±
¡°Inheritance Secret Realms are not that dangerous. Comparatively, it¡¯s more troublesome outside.¡±
Luo Xiang¡¯s face showed a teasing smile as he said, ¡°Actually, it might be more suitable for Bai Qi to go. After all, he¡¯s young. If he does something rash, it would be understandable.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
President Qin nodded seriously and said, ¡°But, you¡¯d better keep an eye on Bai Qi for me. Otherwise, it would be toote to regret anything if something really happens.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let anything happen to Bai Qi. If something really does happen, we will still have Bai Chuanqi.¡±
¡°I wasn¡¯t referring to Bai Qi¡¡±
¡°I understand¡¡±
Secret Realm Base.
Under Beta¡¯s expectant gaze, Bai Qi opened the metal box that Yi Yu gave him. A golden amber that looked like an eyeball appeared before both him and his four pets.
Awoo?
(This is a legendary resource? Howe it doesn¡¯t look any different from the candy that Gamma made?)
Beta leaned forward for a sniff and looked visibly disappointed.
Crunch crunch.
(Boss, seems like this amber is a kind of seal. The real item is the pupil inside.)
Bai Qi nodded. Given his current rtionship with the Thirteenth Bureau, there was no need for them to y dirty tricks in this respect.
After all, when he was just a lowly Second Stage Beast Master, the Thirteenth Bureau had already generously given him Crystal Dragon Bone, a mythical resource. This amber in terms of rarity would only be higher, not lower.
Bai Qi sought a description of this amber in the metal box and indeed found one at the bottom.
[Name]: Void Pupil Amber
[Level]: Mythical
[Description]: Spiritual. This is believed to originate from the Three-eyed Civilization that preceded humans. The third eye of a creature from the Three-eyed Civilization is the source of their power, and their abilities are diverse. Three-eyed Civilization?
So this thing is an antique?
Well, it shouldn¡¯t be expired, right?
Bai Qi examined the Void Pupil Amber with some doubts. Meanwhile, Schuck had already found rted records of the Three-eyed Civilization.
¡°ording to the records, the Three-eyed Civilization actually has some connection with humans as well. However, since no one with simr talents has appeared in the past few millennia, not many people believe this.¡±
¡°But one thing is certain, creatures of the Three-eyed Civilization are very proficient in spiritual attacks. This thing should be fine.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and handed the Void Pupil Amber to Husky, asking, ¡°So, want to try it? If you don¡¯t want to, lean give it to someone else.¡±
Awoo!
(Eat, why not eat!)
Perhaps concerned that Bai Qi would really give the Void Pupil Amber to other beasts, Beta swallowed the amber without even waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s response.
¡°You dimwit, at least wait until I¡¯m ready.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi hastily activated the Evolution Egg, while Gamma skillfully extended its tentacles and began to replenish Bai Qi¡¯s energy.
However, this time, Bai Qi didn¡¯t consume much energy. ording to Alpha¡¯s experience, it seemed that they had not managed to evolve to the King-level. ¡°Upgrading to King-level really isn¡¯t easy¡¡±
Bai Qi licked his lips,forting himself a bit, but he still felt a pang of regret.
After all, it was an antique. He had thought it would have some special effect, but it turned out he was overthinking.
Come to think of it, the fact that Alpha could evolve to King-level so early, aside from the help of mythical resources, Power of Death was another crucial factor. It wouldn¡¯t be easy to replicate this.
Chapter 289: 285: Great Might Heavenly Dragon?
Looking at the gradually calming Golden Egg in front of him, Bai Qi then turned to Gamma, asking, ¡°Gamma, how¡¯s the bnce between Holy Light and Evil Powering along recently?¡±
Kapu Kapu.
(It¡¯s almost adapted, but if it gets hit by a spirit force again, Gamma is a little worried.)
¡°I see¡¡±
Nodding upon hearing this, Bai Qi in the past three weeks since he returned to Gusu City, besides Gamma continuously eating to amass energy, he was training to improve the proficiency of his Twin-Life Contract. After adding the wormwood, he trained with even fewer restrictions, so there must have been substantial improvements.
¡°Since the Evolution Egg also refreshed the cooldown for Golden Cicada Shelling, we don¡¯t have to worry about failures. Let¡¯s have you enhanced as well.¡±
Kapu Kapu.
(Gamma will listen to the master.)
Gamma nodded and swallowed the Light Spirit Holy Diamond that Bai Qi handed him, then activated the Evolution Egg.
The energy consumption this time was even less than that of the Husky just now. However, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t surprised. ording to the theory of high-level gics and his previous experience with the Evolution Egg, when a pet¡¯s genes undergo significant changes during the fusion of new attributes or racial evolution, it consumes arge amount of physical strength.
But now, Gamma¡¯sbody already had the ¡°Light Gene¡±. Naturally, melding with the Light Spirit Holy Diamond of the same light attribute would not require such high energy consumption.
Simrly, Beta just merged with the Void Pupil Amber so easily it must be for a simr reason.
With both pets entering their eggs one after the other, Bai Qi finally had some free time. However, the wormwood by his side couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Hero, I can¡¯t help but wonder why they¡¯ve all turned into eggs?¡±
¡± Hm? You mean the Evolution Egg?¡±
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment. Looking at Wormwood¡¯s nk face, he remembered that recently, he had only been asking Wormwood to assist in dream creation and had not had the time to brush up on the Evolution Egg.
¡°Ahem, we can do away with the exnations, let¡¯s just let you experience it directly.¡±
Upon concluding, under the astonished gaze of Wormwood, a golden eggshell directly enveloped it. After thinking for a moment, he straightforwardly enclosed Alpha and Delta too.
¡°Consider this a vacation for you. Hmm, next time I¡¯ll see if I can enter the dream before using the Evolution Egg, so they won¡¯t conflict.¡±
Looking at the five Golden Eggs neatly arranged around him, Bai Qi satisfyingly nodded, then moved a lounging chair over, grabbed his personalputer, and started leisurely reading Ultimate Engineering.
It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve been able to read a book this peacefully. It¡¯sfortable without people bothering me-
Kacha.
Just as Bai Qi was engrossed in learning, a crisp sound of an eggshell breaking attracted his attention. Before he could see where the sound came from, he felt a terrifying spirit storm sweeping towards him.
¡°This feeling, as I thought, it¡¯s Beta and the others who¡¯ve awakened first¡¡±
Struggling to pull out a metal helmet and putting it on, Bai Qi finally felt a bit better, but he would asionally feel some minor impacts.
The Mind Helmet, created by Schuck to prevent being identally injured by that idiot Beta, although it couldn¡¯tpletely defend like that helmet from a certain movie about a robotic cop, blocking around seventy to eighty percent is still feasible.
However, Beta obviously realized his mistake and quickly retracted his Spirit Force. At the same time, Bai Qi received a few pieces of information.
[Skill Name]: Insight into Everything
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Introduction]: Spiritual, discern the essence of things, clear the deceptive fog and illusions, the strengths and weaknesses of all things, all can be seen in my heart.
¡°Insight into Everything? Is this thing in the Skill As?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion as he couldn¡¯t recall a Super Skill with this name existing in the list of skills disclosed by the Federation.
But looking at this skill¡¯s description, it seems like an upgrade from Mind¡¯s Eye. Discerning the essence and seeing through illusions are both simr to the original Mind¡¯s Eye skill. However, illuminating the strengths and weaknesses of all things, could this skill see through the weaknesses of everything?
If so, that would be fun.
Thinking about how Beta could precisely identify all enemies¡¯ weaknesses in the future, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smile. His attention was soon drawn away by another piece of information in his mind.
[Skill Name]: Demon Subduing Mantra
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Introduction]: Spiritual, uses the sound of true words to directly attack the soul, which can cause great spiritual shock to the enemy, as well as inspire the morale of allies.
Another Super Skill not listed in the Skill As.
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched slightly as he looked at the golden eggshells, which had all shattered but were still quietly suspended in the air. He could guess who had named these abilities.
Although he had no evidence, the names of these two abilities were filled with the aura of Buddhism,pletely different from the culture of this world. Bai Qi wouldn¡¯t believe it if they weren¡¯t rted to Buddhist scriptures.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s evolving into a monk wolf?¡±
Thinking about Beta, after shaving his head, reading scriptures in a dead- serious manner, Bai Qi felt goosebumps all over his body.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Golden Egg exploded, but the eggshell fragments didn¡¯t scatter everywhere. Instead, they slowly rotated around the Husky under the control of an invisible force, gradually turning into liquid energy. Subsequently, they traced out six strange runes in the air.
¡°Six-Syble Truth Mantra? Oh no, it¡¯s really going to be a monk¡¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but sigh and hold his forehead, not because he had any objections to Buddhism, but because mixing Beta with passive Buddhist abilities was simply making him into a live version of Monk Tang.
If I had known earlier, I would have taught him ¡°Great Majestic Dragon¡±, it also mixes Buddhism, but it¡¯s clearly much morebative.
The phenomenon in the sky didn¡¯tst long, the energy formed by the Six- Syble Truth Mantra returned into the Husky, and Bai Qi finally saw Beta¡¯s new appearance. His previous disappointed face twisted hriously.
Wheeze¡
Finally, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud, while the robotic face of Schuck also twisted weirdly.
Aroo?
(Has the human gone mad?)
Beta looked at Bai Qi puzzledly, instinctively utilized the Insight into Everything to peek into Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, but he waspletely defenseless after seeing his own appearance on the mirror Schuck created.
Arooo!
(I, my head, how can there be such a thing on my head!)
Previously, where Beta¡¯s forehead bore three scars, a vertical pupil appeared. The pupil faintly emitted a shimmering blue light as it opened and closed. It looked incredibly handsome.
However, for some reason, having such a good-looking vertical pupil on Beta¡¯s face looked terribly odd, creating a sense of disharmony.
¡°ording to records, creatures of the Three-eyed Civilization weren¡¯t born with a third eye. It seems to have formed after the use of some special substance. Looking at the current situation, it should be the Void Pupil Amber.¡±
Schuck analyzed the history of the vertical pupil calmly. Just as he was preparing to console his own superior consciousness, Beta¡¯s face suddenly revealed a soft smile of happiness.
Awooo-
(My new look is so cool!)
Schuck: ¡°¡¡±
Bai Qi: ¡°¡¡±
Seeing Beta in such self-admiration, Bai Qi was also rendered speechless.
To be honest, as long as Beta wasn¡¯t acting strangely, his serious Arctic Ice Wolf facebined with the vertical pupil was indeed very handsome. Yet for some reason, whenever Bai Qi saw Beta with three eyes, he would always think of a three-eyed dog owner.
Well, that big shot wouldn¡¯te over to kill Beta for mocking his image, right?
¡°How do you feel after evolving?¡±
Bai Qi cleared his throat, managing to bring Beta back from his self-admiration. After a brief moment of sensing, Beta voluntarily reported his current status to Bai Qi.
[Name]: War Apostle (Beta)
[Nature]: Mechanical/Spiritual (Spirit Power Variation)
[Growth Level]: Four-Stage, Five-Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Racial Skills]: Mechanical Lord (Super Level ¨C Skilled), Mechanical Heart (Super level ¨C Beginner), Insight into Everything (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Demon Subduing Mantra (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Thunder me Power (High Level ¨C Skilled), Electric Resistance (Intermediate ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 1E8200W
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡°I see, the Demonic Roar and Soul Whisper abilities merged into one aggressive super skill. Worth it, definitely worth it.¡±
The Demon Subduing Mantra, a super skill that attacked the soul directly, was sure to have a significant impact. Compared to the previously supportive abilities, this was clearly a win.
And it seemed like the power of the Great Mighty Dragon.
The most important thing was, it finally shut Beta up.
Having gained two super skills simultaneously, Beta was feeling more than delighted, itching to find an opponent to fight against straight away.
But it was a pity that the other four pets were still incubating inside the Golden Egg, showing no signs of waking up.
Aroooo!
(Human, organize another resource contest now. I can¡¯t wait any longer.)
Beta¡¯s three eyes blinked in unison, eyeing the four Golden Eggs in front of him keenly, his profound spirit power unrestrained. He seemed ready for a fight as soon as one of the eggs hatched.
Perhaps sensing Beta¡¯s intention, one of the Golden Eggs suddenly cracked open. It was not Gamma as Bai Qi had anticipated, but a vignt Alpha.
Creak creak.
(Boss, I just sensed a strong wave of spirit power. Are we under attack?)
Bai Qi nudged at Beta and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Beta just leveled up. Hey, Beta, why don¡¯t you practice with Alpha?¡±
Aroo?
(Did I just say something?)
Beta pretended to be clueless and switched his attention. He no longer had the aura of regarding the world with scorn. On the contrary, Alpha now looked interested, a hint of barely discernible battle intent shed in his eyes.
Spiritual opponents were indeed rare.
However, just before Alpha could challenge Beta, another Golden Egg cracked open. Simultaneously, from within, brilliant Holy Light shone forth.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately stood up and looked at the gradually cracking Golden Egg with anticipation. After seeing the transparent figure shining with light inside and receiving the transmitted information, he couldn¡¯t help but pump his fist.
It was exactly as he expected¡
Chapter 290: 286: The Skill Holder
The previously half-person tall golden egg was slowly supported by a beam of white light, and a crystalline body with wings stood up from within the golden egg-
[Skill Name]: Diamond Body
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Description): Transformation series, convert the body into a light jewel attribute to resist most physical attacks and energy attacks.
Note: It can only be used in the Holy Light State.
Looking at Gamma¡¯s handsome new posture, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smile.
Despite initially only being a spection, it was thankfully confirmed that Gamma truly obtained the ability to turn into diamonds after merging with the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, and the level was much higher than he had expected.
A super skill from the transformation series, his Diamond Body would undoubtedly boast strong defenses however you looked at it.
Kapupuku!
(Master, why has Gamma turned into this!)
Unlike Bai Qi, Gamma was horrified by his new appearance.
As an innocent blob, Gamma expressed his inability to ept his new form. With a skill that couldn¡¯t easily change shape, how could he devour food inrge mouthfuls!
¡°Why don¡¯t you try absorbing back the energy of Holy Light with the Twin-Life Contract?¡±
Gamma nodded and withdrew all of his body¡¯s Power of Holy Light back into the Twin-Life Contract. His previously indestructible diamond body abruptly softened and turned back into his blob form.
Kapupuku-
(Great, Gamma can eat again-)
¡°You just ate a Mythical Level resource and it¡¯s still not enough, really¡¡±
Bai Qi rubbed Gamma, and then began to check Gamma¡¯s condition.
[Name]: Twin Devourer (Gamma)
[Nature]: Holy Light/Evil Power (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Fourth Stage Level Three
[Bloodline Level]: High-Level Lord
[Race Skills]: Holy Light ¨C Holy Shock (Super Level ¨C Beginner), Diamond Body (Super Level ¨C Beginner);
Evil Power ¨C Scorched Earth (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Life Energy Conversion (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Energy Shunt (High Level ¨C Proficient), Deadly Poison Aura (High Level ¨C Perfect);

[Energy Value]: 5E8800W
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡°Well, not a word about anything else, Gamma is absolutely the skill holder in the team, with this much quantity¡¡±
Looking at Gamma¡¯s ever-growing skill bar, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. He patiently organized Gamma¡¯s skills ording to the usage conditions.
¡°There are a little less Holy Light skills. Indeed, it¡¯s very easy to experience a situation of imbnce. It seems that in the future, we need to pay attention to materials of the Holy Light series.¡±
Bai Qi slightly nodded, but he couldn¡¯t help but recall the remaining two angels of the Bo Ge family.
I wonder if we¡¯ll have a chance to meet them in the future. I kind of miss them now.
I miss them even at the first encounter-
After Gamma woke up, Delta and Wormgrass also crawled out of the golden egg one after another.
Delta was fine, quickly being attracted by Gamma¡¯s new skill, but Wormgrass, who experienced the golden egg for the first time, was astounded, focusing on the changes in his body.
¡°My body seems to have merged more perfectly?¡±
Wormgrass looked at his increasingly well-integrated insect body and nt body in surprise, apparently having some trouble understanding.
Awuwuwu¡
(After all, it¡¯s still young. It¡¯s just a fusion with nts. There¡¯s nothing surprising about that.)
Seeing Wormgrass¡¯s reaction, Beta immediately disyed a senior¡¯s mentality,pletely forgetting his behavior when he was forced to integrate the mechanical prosthetics.
He was determined to detach it by gnashing his teeth¡
¡°So, how is it? Following me is not bad, right.¡±
Bai Qi patted Wormgrass, saying, ¡°Although you¡¯re currently in a perfect symbiotic state, the insect body and the nt body have notpletely fused. But with the Evolution Egg, this problem doesn¡¯t exist.¡±
Upon hearing that, Wormgrass realized. Although the degree was not great, he still felt the changes in his body. Especially the core of the Knowledge Ancient Tree which was spread throughout his body after he ate it, it seemed to be slowly absorbed.
Not mentioning himself, after just a bit of time, why did the aura of the schizophrenic Double-headed Wolf and the blob that knew only to eat was bing stronger?
Is that weird egg such a marvel?
Wormgrass instantly realized the benefits of following Bai Qi. He was thoroughly convinced by Bai Qi.
The Evolution Egg that could quickly make him stronger, and the four big guys who appeared they could put up a fight guarding him, this ce, no matter how you look at it, it was much safer than that valley.
Yes, let¡¯s stick with Bai Qi.
¡°Epsilon, I¡¯m at your service, big brother!¡±
¡°You¡¯re sensible.¡±
Seeing Wormgrasspletely submitting himself, Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily.
Although the Cordyceps hasn¡¯t yet disyed much battle strength, its dream creation ability indeed was a cut above the rest.
Apart from helping him save more time, Bai Qi also found that after leaving the dreand, the rate of growth of his spirit power surpassed significantly that of drinking the Phantom Spirit potion.
It makes sense since the Phantom Spirit potion is, after all, made from the pollen of the Dream Vine. Currently, he had directly caught a symbiotic Dream Vine to customize the dreand, so naturally, its effect was much stronger.
As for the means of attack¡
Bai Qi looked at the Cordyceps impersonating a fawning face with colorful vines, and several ideas immediately popped up in his mind.
Methods of harming people through dreams abounded in his previous life.
Dream Theft Space.
Moony Read.
Murder in Dreams¡ Cough, I mixed shows, this doesn¡¯t count.
¡°Nheless, no matter what, the reality degree of this dreand needs to be improved first so that the effect can be better. Speaking of dreams¡¡±
Bai Qi grasped the Cordyceps and said, ¡°Epsilon, can you actively peek into my memory?¡±
The Cordyceps was startled upon hearing this, it shook its head frantically and said, ¡°Big brother, don¡¯t misunderstand. I only created that dreand by guiding your thoughts. I did not see your memories.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not talking about that. I¡¯m asking you if you can recreate the scenes in my memories.¡±
The Cordyceps paused momentarily, then replied hesitantly, ¡°Generally speaking, I need to see an actual object myself before I can ce it in the dreand. I can also actively incorporate the forms that once appeared in dreams, but the oue might be worse.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. It was said that thoughts during the day lead to dreams at night, and the Cordyceps¡¯ ability was much the same as he understood it, just that it formed a dream by exploiting whoever was the victim¡¯ s thoughts.
For example, when he was dragged into the dreand by Cordyceps for the first time, the first impression of Jack was a product of his subconscious. The F4 that cameter were born because of his associations.
However, it would be enough to actively recreate the previously seen creatures.
¡°Set aside learning for now. Give me a long dream. I want to share some stuff with you.¡±
Bai Qi paused for a moment, then said, ¡°Presumably, you can also incorporate your own form into the dream, right?¡±
The Cordyceps nodded and said, ¡°Of course I can.¡±
¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡±
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the Husky and Gamma, and said, ¡°It¡¯s perfect that both of you have leveled up. Why not have a friendlypetition?¡±
Aowu?
(Competition? Are we fighting for resources?)
Beta was full of confidence, wishing the arrangement of resources could start right now, but his battle gs went down when he saw Alpha who was eager for action behind Bai Qi.
Aowu¡
(Apetition is also not bad¡)
He almost forgot about this militant entity. The situation was worse than it seemed. ying it safe for a few days was best. Once he leveled up to King- level, he was going to thrash this smelly bone a good one.
¡°Are you sure you want to fight here, Beast Master?¡±
Just as Bai Qi was preparing to bring his twin pets to the battlefield, Schuck suddenly reminded him which jogged his memory.
He almost forgot that he wasn¡¯t at the headquarters. Without the Green Dragon Secret Realm, this free battlefield, he couldn¡¯t let these brats go at it.
Even if we leave aside the issue whether Gamma will self-destruct or not, just Schuck¡¯s Mechanical Lord was enough to disassemble the Secret Realm Base a few times.
¡°Tsk, had I known earlier, I would have bluffed Nichs over.¡±
Bai Qi immediately felt some regret, sighed helplessly, and said, ¡°Never mind, let¡¯s ask the presidentter if there is any suitable ce for mid-high level beasts to fight. Those high-stage Beast Masters can¡¯t always avoidbat, right?¡±
¡°Theoretically speaking, they should be able to.¡±
Schuck nodded and said, ¡°However, before that, I want to try out a skill.¡±
¡°Try a skill? Schuck, did you also get a new skill? Why didn¡¯t I see it?¡±
Bai Qi was a bit confused at his words, but Schuck obviously did not want to waste his words. He directly split into ten mechanical constructs, then under Bai Qi¡¯s curious gaze, stretched out his ws.
Suddenly, mes spewed out from Schuck¡¯s ws, instantly enveloping the bodies of the mechanical constructs. They illuminated with radiant light, as if some special transformation was taking ce.
Boom!
Apanied by an explosion, the mechanical constructs suddenly burst open, only to be swallowed up by Gamma in no time.
Aowu?
(Is this a new method of explosion? The effect doesn¡¯t seem good, does it?)
Beta, suspicious, looked at its separate consciousness, apparently not understanding Schuck¡¯s purpose either. Schuck, however, still had no intention of exining, instead he adjusted the output strength of the me and tried again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!¡
After a series of explosions, thest mechanical construct finally survived. The me that had originally cloaked its surface slowly retreated into the mechanical body until itpletely disappeared.
¡°Is this all?¡±
Looking at thepletely unchanged mechanical tool, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit disappointed. It was only when Schuck made him touch the mechanical tool that he suddenly came to a realization.
[Name]: Sweeping Robot
[Nature): Mechanical
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Servant
[Introduction]: This mechanical entity is dedicated to cleaning. Its body, constructed from Etherium Liquid Gold, enables it to perform cleaning tasks better.
¡°A mid-level servant mechanical beast¡¡±
¡°Schuck, can you perform a Spiritual Awakening now?!¡±
Chapter 291: 287: Mechanical Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual Awakening ¡ª it was one of the important indicators that distinguished the Mechanical Engineering Department from Rune Puppets and Meeh Armors.
Unlike the spirits of Equipment System pets that emerged slowly over time, the Mechanical Engineering Department could perform a special and exclusive Spiritual Awakening, transforming cold, lifeless machines into sentient beings. However, the Federation had always held exclusive control over this Spiritual Awakening method. Everything from war machines to civilian tools went through the Spiritual Awakening ritual under the supervision of a dedicated Federation agency.
Now, had Shuck also acquired the ability to perform Spiritual Awakening?
Shuck released the sweeping robot and said, ¡°I¡¯m not very skilled yet, but I think I¡¯ve got it.¡±
Having received confirmation from Shuck, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up.
A machine, once having undergone Spiritual Awakening, showed a drastic difference inbat power and potentialpared to its pre-awakening state. Now that Shuck had acquired this ability, could he not build an entire iron battalion for Bai Qi?
Would he once again be the man behind the Machinery Emperor?
Hum, why did this development seem familiar, and why did he have a bad feeling about it?
Just as Bai Qi was about to gloat, Shuck timely poured cold water on his excitement, ¡°But this form of awakening consumes my Mechanical Spark. I can¡¯t use it consecutively, or else it will harm my Origin.¡±
Just as he expected, there¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch.
Bai Qi sighed, looked at the sweeping robot in front of him, and said, ¡°In that case, we must carefully select the candidates for awakening. We mustn¡¯t waste it.¡±
¡°But it¡¯s surprising that the Mechanical Spark is the source of awakening. It¡¯s strange that this information never leaked out over all these years?¡±
The Mechanical Spark was a Seven Stage technology, and there were quite a few mechanical creations that had ignited the spark. If the spark had this capability, someone would¡¯ve discovered it by ident.
The research has started, but Beast Master, if possible, you should collect as many Seven Stage technologies as you can. It would be very helpful in deciphering it.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±
Bai Qi sighed. Professor Chu was the only possible source of Seven Stage mechanical technology, but Professor Chu insisted that Bai Qi had to develop a core proprietary technology of the Mechanical Engineering Department in exchange.
Although the Spirit-Control Orb had used Runes, Professor Chu considered its mechanical appearance and its revolutionary significance, no longer nitpicking with Bai Qi. As for the Rune Mechanical Armour, while Professor Chu acknowledged them as mechanical creations, he ssified them under a lower category of Rune Mechanical Structure¡¯s proprietary technology, making them ineligible for exchange.
Therefore, his only option now was to develop Flesh Fusion technology. ¡°Shuck, take a sample from the junction between flesh and metal. Delta, we need to speed up the research.¡±
After days of intensive learning, he had a basic grasp of biology. As for Delta, he was on the verge of bing an expert.
He had no choice. When Delta couldn¡¯t understand certain phenomena, he evolved into the corresponding form, gaining firsthand experience before continuing his studies.
In this regard, Bai Qi could only say that theorybined with practice could reveal the truth¡ªyes, the kind of practice where one bes the sample. Bloop bloop.
(Ok, Delta recently came up with some new research directions and wants to discuss them with Master.)
¡°Oh? Let¡¯s hear it.¡±
(We can try cultivating Shuck Beta¡¯s¡ and then¡.)
¡°Hmm, makes sense. Let¡¯s go try it.¡±
Having said that, Bai Qi, Delta, and Husky made a beeline for the Biology
Building, entirely oblivious to the hesitant worm grass behind them.
¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to give me private tutoring just now?¡±
Worm grass watched Bai Qi, who hadpletely forgotten about him, with frustration and confusion.
Wasn¡¯t it said that the more recent the contracted pet, the more attention the
Beast Master pays to it? Why did it feel the opposite in his case?
Creak creak.
(Epsilon, please project another opponent in my dreand, resembling me.)
¡°Ok, I¡¯ll get right to it.¡±
Seeing Alpha¡¯s arrival, worm grass immediately put on a fawning attitude.
After getting Alpha¡¯s consent, he dragged him into the dreand.
¡°It seems like if we keep this memory body, it will suffice.¡±
Looking at the memory body fighting back and forth with Alpha, worm grass thought of a way to be stronger ¡ª he quietly observed Alpha¡¯s movements, slowly perfecting the portrayal of Alpha.
Could he scare a lot of people by recreating this image in the dreand?
Gusu City.
Wuhou Dojo.
The chill ofte autumn didn¡¯t dampen the enthusiasm of the Spirit Controllers rushing to the Wuhou Dojo. Even though the dojo was already packed, Spirit Controllers from both Gusu city and its surrounding cities were still arriving to watch the matches.
The first Spirit Controllerpetition in Federation history might not have the grandeur of Beast Master fights, but for the Spirit Controllers, thispetition would be more thrilling than any Beast Master fight.
Perhaps only the talentless ones could understand this sentiment.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that temporarily borrowing the breeding center¡¯s venue for a live broadcast would almost not be enough.¡±
Zhuge Xu, looking at the sea of people below him, wasining verbally, but the smile on his face betrayed his true feelings.
After the sessful conclusion of the first Spirit Controller Battle Competition, their Wuhou Dojo and Wuhou Corporation would definitely be famous throughout the Federation. Combining this with the final mysterious prize would undoubtedly stoke the enthusiasm for thepetition.
Of course, even if the final result fell short of his expectations, Zhuge Xu did not care.
Federation-designated military manufacturers, the exclusive producers of Rune Mechanical Armor, and a third of the Federation¡¯s Spirit Control Orb sale points¡
With all these in ce, this contest could only be considered a mere icing on the cake.
¡°Looking at that smile, your mouth is almost stretching back to your heels. It¡¯s a good thing Xia Yi isn¡¯t here, or else you¡¯d have enraged him to death.¡±
President Qin looked at Zhuge Xu¡¯s behavior speechlessly, feelingpelled to tease him.
Xia¡¯s Group may have acquired the production rights for the Spirit Control Orb and would certainly earn monstrous profits. However, if they knew that the Rune Mechanical Armor, a product perfectlyplementing the Spirit Control Orb, had been acquired by the Wuhou Corporation, Xia Yi might have heartily vomited blood.
¡°It¡¯s not my fault. After all, I was the one who agreed to easily let go of the production rights for the Spirit Control Orb. The Rune Mechanical Armor was just an unexpected bonus.¡±
Zhuge Xu expressed with pretentious helplessness, but inside, he was brimming with joy.
Originally, Wuhou Corporation had not achieved much in the field of machinery and did not attract any notable Machinery Masters. However, due to Bai Qi, Professor Chu, the most senior professor from the Star Mechanics Academy¡¯s Mechanical Engineering Department, personally led his team to establish a research group in their corporation. Thus, Wuhou Corporation had initially obtained its qualification to enter the machinery manufacturing industry.
And all of this, too, was a blessing from Bai Qi.
He was undoubtedly the lucky star of the Zhuge family.
¡°By the way, why hasn¡¯t Bai Qi arrived yet? After all, he¡¯s the inventor of the Spirit Control Orb. If he doesn¡¯t show up, thispetition will lose its luster.¡± Zhuge Xu looked behind President Qin but did not see Bai Qi¡¯s figure.
¡°I¡¯ve already had Luo Xiang call him. This good-for-nothing boy actually dared to bete again, it seems praising him was a mistake.¡±
President Qin heaved a frustrated sigh.
¡°There¡¯s no need. I saw Master Luo returning just now, so he must have gotten in touch with Bai Qi.¡±
Yi Yu walked in from outside the door, looking at the irritable-looking
President Qin, andughed. ¡°I suppose Bai Qi will arrive before the final battle.¡±
¡°I hope so.¡±
Seeing Yi Yu¡¯s arrival, President Qin put away his displeasure, exchanged nces with Zhuge Xu, and said, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s start ording to the program.¡±
¡°Indeed, quite a few Spirit Controllers are participating today. We must hurry.¡± Zhuge Xu nodded his head, then began directing different department staff to their positions, and President Qin also notified the Beast Masters of the association one by one to make preparations.
To organize such arge-scale event involving the entire Gusu City, it was impossible to rely solely on the Beast Masters in the Wuhou Dojo. As a result, the Wuhou Dojo only provided the venue, while the judging and other matters were primarily handled by the Beast Masters in the association.
While everyone else was bustling about, Bai Qi was still engrossed in his research.
¡°Failed again. As expected, the feasibility of cultivating Schuck¡¯s Beta mechanical cells is somewhat low.¡±
Bai Qi looked regretfully at the static cells in the culture dish and heaved a deep sigh.
After his discussion with Delta, they nned to try cultivating the Husky¡¯s cells to act as a fusion agent to help connect machinery and flesh.
However, for some reason, the Husky¡¯s cells lost their ability to divide after leaving the body and slowly degenerated into metal, unable to serve as a fusion agent.
Blub, blub.
(It seems Delta still needs to study for a while longer.)
Delta also seemed a bit regretful, but he was soon reced by determination, unaffected by failure.
¡°There¡¯s no need to rush. After researching for so long, we still have no leads. Perhaps our direction is wed from the start. Let¡¯s take a break for now.¡± Bai Qi patted Delta and said, ¡°For now, focus on researching the fusion issue of the Ancestral Beast and the Ancient Species. After all, this directly involves you, the research might be more rxed.¡±
Blub, blub.
(Delta understands.)
Delta nodded and continued his research. Meanwhile, Bai Qi suddenly remembered something. Looking at Schuck, who was analyzing data on the side, he asked, ¡°Schuck, what time is it now?¡±
Upon hearing this, Schuck paused before saying, ¡°Almost three days have passed since you started your research. ording to the schedule, it¡¯s time for you to appear at the Spirit Controller Battle Competition.¡±
¡°Oh my goodness, Ipletely forgot about that!¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s face changed. He immediately pulled Delta and ran outside, whileining to Schuck.
¡°Schuck, why didn¡¯t you remind me?¡±
¡°ording to the record, I¡¯ve reminded you ten times, but you ignored them all. I suggest canceling the rm settings next time and opting for electric shock reminders.¡±
¡°Be honest, are you being controlled by Beta right now¡
Chapter 292: 288: You Have Bloodline, I Have Science!
Wuhou Dojo.
The Spirit Controller Battle Arena.
¡°Now, I announce the final four: Zhuge Chen, Song Qiuying, Jing Si, Tang Qi.¡± Yi Yu announced the names of the final four in a loud voice and then returned to the judges¡¯ seats. President Qin, on the other hand, was quite displeased and kept nagging to Luo Xiang beside him.
¡°Luo Xiang, are you sure you¡¯ve contacted Bai Qi? Why hasn¡¯t this brat shown up yet?¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, saying, ¡°I left him a message. He should be able to see it. After all, this kid spends all his time in the secret realm. There¡¯s no use me going to find him.¡±
¡°A message? So, you did not actually reach Bai Qi?¡±
President Qin sighed, holding his head in his hands. These people were all indeed unreliable. Knowing Bai Qi¡¯s habits, it wasn¡¯t surprising that he didn¡¯t receive the message even if he was not in the secret realm.
¡°President Qin, there¡¯s no need to worry. Bai Qi will definitely arrive in time for the showdown.¡±
Seeing this, Yi Yu smiled andforted, ¡°If everything else fails, I have prepared a holograph projection of Bai Qi. It should be able to deceive everyone.¡±
President Qin:
No wonder he was soposed. It turned out that he even had a holograph ready? How many times have they done such things before that they were so professional?
¡°The first round of the final four, Zhuge Chen versus Jing Si, begins!¡±
While President Qin was expressing hisints, the first match of the final four officially began, and everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to thepetition.
As the future leader of Wuhou Corporation, Zhuge Chen¡¯s participation naturally attracted a lot of attention. And as Zhuge Chen advanced through the rounds, more and more attention piled up.
Of course, there were no suspicions of any backhand dealings. Any wrong doings would bring about the wrath of the Federation and the Association on Wuhou Corporation.
Almost all of the spectators¡¯ attention was drawn to Garulu¡¯s metallic armor.
¡°Do you guys know what the metal shell is?¡±
¡°What, you have insider info?¡±
¡°Of course not, I just wanted to ask you where they got that shell, it looks awesome. I want to get my Frost Wolf one too.¡±
¡°Hmph, and here I thought you knew something. But that armor does look cool.
However, it¡¯s so heavy, wouldn¡¯t it affect the fighting?¡±
¡°Does it look like it¡¯s affecting them? I think it¡¯s probably a kind of armor that increases defense.¡±
¡°23333, your shield even has decorative wings. I guess this is just Wuhou
Corporation¡¯s own pet makeup team, here to advertise.¡±
¡°That makes sense, official advertising, the deadliest kind.¡±
While the crowd was engaged in discussions, Zhuge Chen didn¡¯t bother to rebut them. Instead, he focused his full attention on his opponent.
In order to ensure his entry into the finals, Zhuge Chen and Garulu trained extra hard. Even without activating the Frozen Armor, they easily made it into the final four.
However, the uing matches wouldn¡¯t be so easy to win.
Both Song Qiuying¡¯s and Jing Si¡¯s parents were Beast Masters, and although they didn¡¯t awaken Beast Master talents, growing up in such environments gave them an edge in pet cultivation and fightingpared to ordinary people. After the Spirit-Control Orbs were issued, both their parents got them powerful pets within their control range. They easily entered the final four.
Although some civilian Beast Masters were disgruntled, they had no choice but to swallow theirints.
The Spirit Controllers Tournament did not restrict the double level of thepetitor¡¯s pets. Mostpetitors didn¡¯t use pets distributed by the Association and brought their unique pets instead.
A Middle Servant Level creature could only be kept as a pet, and was not suitable for battles.
As for Tang Qi, it was pure luck. When he received pets released by the Association, he unexpectedly got a Mutant Species Fire w Sparrow, whose strength was no less than the others.
Jing Si, who was currently against Zhuge Chen, was contracted to a high-grade elite level Gold-eating Ant.
[Name]: Gold-eating Ant
[Nature]: Metal Element, Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: High-Grade Elite
[Introduction]: An insect-based creature that has a strong body due to years of gnawing on metal ores. Each of its attacks can break rocks.
Jing Si¡¯s parents were both Fifth Stage insect-system Beast Masters, and this Gold-eating ant was the offspring of their pets. It had familiarized with Jing Si from childhood, so it had no resistance to Jing Si¡¯smands after the Spirit- Control Orb contract.
This made Jing Si one of the favorites to win the Spirit Controllers Tournament.
¡°You¡¯re not making the first move? Then I¡¯ll start.¡±
Seeing that Zhuge Chen seemed to have no intention of initiating an attack, Jing Si couldn¡¯t be bothered to keep waiting and immediately directed the Gold-eating Ant to attack Garulu.
Having devoured a substantial amount of metal ore, the Gold-eating Ant emitted a series of metallic clinks as it began to move, as if what was charging towards Garulu wasn¡¯t an ant but a Mechanical Beast.
¡°Garulu, dodge.¡±
Watching the Gold -eating Ant rapidly charge towards Garulu, Zhuge Chen promptlymanded Garulu. However, the Gold-eating Ant¡¯s speed escted dramatically, arriving before Garulu in an instant, its massive ws exuding a metallic luster as it smashed down towards Garulu.
Given the Gold-eating Ant¡¯s level and physical strength, if itnded a hit, it would undoubtedly inflict substantial damage on Garulu.
Right at the moment the massive w was about to hit Garulu, Garulu¡¯s speed soared, sessfully evading the attack and, with a sideways swipe of its ws at the Gold-eating Ant, managed to strike first, even though it acted second. ng!
After a clear sound, however, the Gold-eating Ant suffered no damage at all. Moreover, it took advantage of the situation to approach and attempt to engage Garulu inbat.
As a purely physical pet beast, the Gold-eating Ant naturally wouldn¡¯t abandon its advantages.
But Zhuge Chen was obviously aware of this. He ordered Garulu to quickly retreat, and Garulu did so cleanly. It shot backwards fiercely and, just like a glider, swiftly slid off into the distance.
¡°As I thought, it¡¯s not just a decoration.¡±
Observing Garulu¡¯s maneuver, Jing Si showed no surprise. The Gold-eating Ant quickly caught up and seemed to preemptively predict Garulu¡¯s movement, intending tounch a sneak attack.
However, bolstered by its Frozen Armor, Garulu was clearly faster, easily avoiding the attack beforeunching a counterattack.
Unfortunately, the Gold-eating Ant¡¯sbat experience far surpassed Garulu¡¯s; it purposefully showed an opening to bait Garulu in. Immediately afterward, its twin pincers mped down on Garulu¡¯s legs and it bit down on Garulu¡¯s Frozen Armor.
HaviNg determined the use of the armor, Jing Si naturally wouldn¡¯t leave it on his opponent. Never mind how effortless it was for the Gold-eating Ant to devour metal.
However, Garulu was an Elite-level beast after all. Seeing its body being controlled, it immediately opened its mouth and fired an ice arrow at the Gold- eating Ant.
Feeling the cold within the Ice Arrow, the Gold-eating Ant did not choose to fight to the death with Garulu after a moment¡¯s hesitation. Its victory had been within reach when it decided to abandon it.
After all, even if it managed to bite through, it would only destroy Garulu¡¯s outer armor. However, it would be forced to resist an ice attack, which might not injure it but would definitely impede its mobility.
But the Gold-eating Ant wasn¡¯t stupid enough to engage Garulu in long-rangebat. After dodging Garulu¡¯s Ice Arrow, it smartly moved to Garulu¡¯s back. An eye-catching light began to glow on its twin pincers, showing that it had activated a skill.
¡°Garulu, use Extreme Frost Gas!¡±
Seeing this situation, Zhuge Chen didn¡¯t hold back and signaled Garulu to attack. The energy that Garulu had initially concentrated into Ice Arrows was immediately absorbed by the Frozen Armor covering it, transforming it into a chilling gas that pushed Garulu into mid-air and increased the distance between it and the Gold-eating Ant.
At the same time, two missiles formed of condensed ice appeared under Garulu¡¯s mechanical wings. After locking onto their target, they went straight for the Gold-eating Ant.
Poor Gold-eating Ant hadn¡¯t recovered from the chilling gas when two ice missiles appeared before it.
Soon after, an ice sculpture in the form of a Gold-eating Ant appeared in the arena.
¡°I dere, for the first round of the top four, the winner is Zhuge Chen!¡±
Seeing the Gold-eating Ant lose all ability to fight, Yi Yu finally appeared and announced the result of the match. Jing Si hadn¡¯t expected to lose so haphazardly and took a long time to react.
¡°What kind of armor is that?¡±
Zhuge Chen shrugged, saying, ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t disclose that right now.¡±
Although the superiors had allowed him to participate with the Frozen Armor, and even encouraged him to do so, Zhuge Chen still wanted to evaluate Garulu¡¯sbat power. If it were not clearly outmatched by the Gold-eating Ant, he might not have activated it.
¡°Temporarily, huh? I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡±
Jing Si nodded and then returned to his seat. His equally surprised parents quickly rushed over tofort their son.
Finally able tomand a pet beast in a battle and initially confident about seizing the championship, the fact that he had lost made them worry about their son¡¯s potential future trauma.
On the other side of the battlefield, the atmosphere was entirely different.
¡°Hahaha¡ As expected of my good son. Well done!¡±
Zhuge Xu gave Zhuge Chen a satisfied thumbs-up. In response, Zhuge Chen could only shake his head helplessly, saying, ¡°If not for the Frozen Armor Bai Qi gave me, I might have been the one to lose¡¡±
¡°Who cares about winning anyway? Moreover, there¡¯s nothing dishonorable about this. Not everyone can contract a Gold-eating Ant either.¡±
Zhuge Xu dismissively waved his hand. His face straightened, and he said, ¡°But son, you should be careful about your opponent in the finals. Those two aren¡¯t easy to deal with.¡±
Zhuge Chen nodded, just about to watch the next battle when he suddenly saw a burnt ck pet beast fly upside down from the stage.
¡°This is¡already over?¡±
Zhuge Chen looked at the Humanoid Firebird on the stage, clearly surprised that Tang Qi had won.
Are mutant species just that powerful, disregarding the difference in double levels? He could now understand why Bai Qi had always remained unbeatable.
Suddenly, having Garulu wear Frozen Armor didn¡¯t seem so excessive anymore.
You have your bloodline rights, I have technology. Yes, fair enough!
Chapter 293: 289: The Heavenly Descending... Footwork!
Looking at the pet beast under the arena that had already been moderately burnt, President Qin nodded slightly, saying, ¡°The offensive and burst power of the me-attribute mutation is indeed not something ordinary pet beasts can contend with, it¡¯s a pity.¡±
Although mutations were not as rare as mythic species, for most people they were still something one could encounter but not seek. It was indeed Tang Qi¡¯s luck to get a hold of a mutation. However, if Tang Qi had been a Beast Master instead of a Spirit Controller, his future achievements might have been even higher.
There s no helping personal limitations. Moreover, hasn¡¯t Tang Qi also trained this Fire w Sparrow quite well?¡±
Luo Xiang chuckled, saying, ¡°Anyway, the pet beasts of Spirit Controllers can also be upgraded. They may not necessarily be weaker in the future.¡±
President Qin nodded. As long as Tang Qi could maintain a good rtionship with the Fire w Sparrow, even if it were upgraded in the future, theoretically it should still obey Tang Qi¡¯smands.
¡°However, the understanding between Zhuge Chen and the Arctic Ice Wolf is obviously much stronger than Tang Qi¡¯s group. Such bonds cannot be umted with time. Chairman Zhuge really has a good son.¡± Yi Yu smiled faintly, giving high praises to Zhuge Chen. Zhuge Xu clearly enjoyed this, but still remained modest, saying, ¡°Minister Yi tters me. The kid still won due to the Frozen Armor. There¡¯s noparison.¡± ¡°Frozen Armor is a legal strengthening method recognized by the Federation, and also a part of one¡¯s strength. If it can¡¯t be used, the Mechanical Engineering Department would indeed be unable to participate in anypetition.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡ That¡¯s true.¡±
Zhuge Xu burst into heartyughter. Meanwhile, President Qin, upon hearing about the Frozen Armor, seemed to suddenly remember something. His face darkened, saying, ¡°That fellow Bai Qi, he is indeed beingte again. I knew I shouldn¡¯t have given him that secret realm.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Luo Xiang shrugged, saying, ¡°No problem. If it really doesn¡¯t work, we can use Minister Yi¡¯s holographic projection. Anyway, the effect is the same.¡±
¡°That¡¯s the only way.¡±
President Qin sighed, stepped onto the stage, looked at the bustling crowd below, and instantly adjusted his state. He dered loudly, ¡°All the young Spirit Controllers, next up is the final battle of this Spirit Controllerpetition. Let¡¯s invite the two contestants toe on stage!¡±
The moment his words fell, thunderous apuse rose from within and outside the arena. Even the Spirit Controllers who had been eliminated were as excited. Though it was regrettable to lose a match, wasn¡¯t the stronger a Spirit Controller of their own generation, the brighter the future of the Spirit Controller profession?
Especially the armor on Garulu, it made these Spirit Controllers fantasize. Mutations were hard toe by. But the armor on Garulu was obviously a mechanical creation. Could it be poprized?
If they could defeat mutations, wouldn¡¯t that mean theirbat power as Spirit Controllers in the future might not necessarily be weak?
Amid the anticipation of the crowd, Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi sessively took the stage.
¡°Zhuge Chen, Arctic Ice Wolf, Low-level Elite.¡±
¡°Tang Qi, Fire Fist Bird, Low-level Elite.¡±
[Name]: Fire Fist Bird
[Nature]: Fire attribute (Mutation)
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Introduction]: The evolved form of the Fire w Sparrow, it possesses both Combat System and Fire Attribute skills and has formidablebat ability.
The two introduced their own pet beasts. Being the evolved species from the Big Three in Gusu City, they still attracted the attention of most people.
After all, most of them were likely to follow the paths of these two. Thus, they wanted to see the limits of these two.
Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi were quite polite, but their two pet beasts, one ice and one fire, had already begunpeting fiercely before the fight even began.
The contestants are ready. Now, I dere, start the match!¡±
President Qin gave onest nce at the cloudless sky above his head before announcing the start of the match.
Upon hearing President Qin¡¯smand, the two pet beasts instantly entered a battle mode. But before they had a chance to make a move, a huge shadow suddenly appeared over the arena. Before anyone could react, a figure fell from the sky,nding firmly in the center of the arena.
¡°That¡¯s¡ Bai Qi!¡±
Someone quickly recognized the identity of this uninvited guest in the audience. It was the inventor of the Spirit-Control Orb, the contestant who topped the Federation¡¯s headline year after year, Bai Qi.
¡°Of course, boss! His entrance is so handsome!¡±
¡°I was wondering why the boss wouldn¡¯t show up at this first Spirit Controllerpetition. It turned out he nned to give us a surprise at the final. I see.¡± ¡°But how did the boss manage to jump from such a height and not get hurt, are Beast Masters really that strong physically?¡±
¡°Who is the boss? He is the genius who created the profession of Spirit Controllers. Canmon Beast Masterspare with him?¡±
¡°Makes sense. I was stupid.¡±
The appearance of Bai Qi caused a greatmotion. The Spirit Controllers were also mightily excited. But President Qin twitched at the corner of his eye, utterly unable to retort.
This guy, when did he start enjoying showing off so much?
The youngsters these days sure know how to have fun.¡±
Luo Xiang swept a nce at the green thing under Bai Qi¡¯s feet and gave a knowing smile, and Yi Yu bore the same grin on his face.
¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you, Delta, to teleport me directly to the ground? Why did you just drop medown?¡±
Bai Qi gasped a little, although as a Four Stage Beast Master, he wouldn¡¯t necessarily get hurt from falling from this height, especially with Gamma to cushion his fall; the thought of it still made him uneasy.
Gurgle gurgle.
(I¡¯m sorry, Master, but the space here seems to be affected by something and Delta didn¡¯t have time to do the Void Echo.)
Delta transformed back into Ancestral Beast andnded next to Bai Qi, filled with guilt.
¡°Space was affected?¡±
Startled at this, Bai Qi then nced up.
The only thing that could affect space was the Snare.
¡°Knowing the reason is good enough, but it looks like I should avoid showing off in the future. Otherwise, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I bite the dust.¡± Chagrined, Bai Qi put away Delta and Gamma. He then saw Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi staring at him agog.
¡°Even though you¡¯re the referee for the final battle, wasn¡¯t your entrance a bit too mboyant, Bai Qi?¡±
Zhuge Chen looked speechlessly at the Spirit Controllers around them, who had evidently be Bai Qi fanatics, and couldn¡¯t resist aint. ¡°Howe I didn¡¯t know that you had this strange talent?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°If I say it was an ident, would you believe me?¡± Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes but before he could say anything, President Qin interrupted, ¡°Alright, now that you¡¯re here, the final battle is all yours.¡± ¡°Got it.¡±
Hearing President Qin speaking, Bai Qi, who was a little uneasy for beingte, quickly nodded. He then walked to the referee¡¯s spot and sternly said, ¡°So, the two yers, are you ready?¡±
¡°Ready.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, swung his right hand down heavily, and said, ¡°Then I dere that the final match of the first Spirit Controller¡¯s Combat Tournament of the Federation, officially begins!¡±
This time, the Twin Pets, which had been brimming with fighting spirit, could no longer hold back and directlyunched an attack on their opponent.
The first one to attack was Garulu. But this time, Garulu didn¡¯t choose closebat. Instead, he used the signature skill of the Arctic Ice Wolf, the Ice Arrow.
The Fire Fist Sparrow was clearly very good at closebat. Its previous opponent was caught off guard by its violent close-range fire attacks. Therefore, Garulu had no intention of fighting it at close range.
But it was clear that as soon as Garulu¡¯s Ice Arrow got close to the Fire Fist Sparrow, it was knocked down with a precise punch, failing to cause any damage to it.
¡°This kind of fire, it looks a bit like zing Power.¡±
Seeing the performance of the Fire Fist Sparrow, Bai Qi immediately spotted the problem.
In terms of attributes, fire attacks could indeed neutralize the Ice Arrow, but there weren¡¯t many who could shatter it upon contact like the Fire Fist Sparrow.
After all, the double levels of the two pet beasts were quite close, and this effect wouldn¡¯t be so clear.
Could it be that this Fire Fist Sparrow is a mutation?¡±
Just when Bai Qi was guessing, the Fire Fist Sparrow apparently got tired of this defensive counterattack. Its right fist charged rapidly, then swung out a powerful blow. A burst of mes exploded instantly, shattering all of Garulu¡¯s ice arrows.
At the same time, a burst of mes exploded from under the Fire Fist Sparrow.
Using the force from the explosion, the Fire Fist Sparrow instantly closed the distance across the arena. Its fiery fist, like a rocket, thundered towards Garulu.
Earlier, Song Qiuying¡¯s Elite Pet Beast was instantly defeated by this move, not even getting a chance to demonstrate its abilities.
Seeing this, Garulu showed no intention of dodging. Under Zhuge Chen¡¯smand, numerous small openings appeared in its Frozen Armor. A freezing wind mixed with ice blown out from these openings, and an ice storm formed right in front of Garulu!
¡°Not bad. Both the speed and power of the attack are as expected, though it consumes a bit more energy.¡±
Watching the Fire Fist Sparrow who was stopped by the ice storm, Bai Qi nodded approvingly.
ording to the Federation¡¯s requirements, the Rune Mechanical Armor provided to the Spirit Controllers couldn¡¯t be equipped with weapons with too destructive power. So Bai Qi had made a few modifications to Garulu¡¯s Frozen Armor. This ice storm was one of them.
ording to Bai Qi¡¯s prediction, the effect of this skill should be able to catch up with High-stage Skills. Now it seemed that it was not far off.
¡°The armor again?¡±
Watching the Fire Fist Sparrow ceaselessly throwing punches, trying to break the ice storm, Tang Qi frowned slightly, tightly clutching his Spirit-Control Orb. The Fire Fist Sparrow on the field also sensed Tang Qi¡¯s thoughts and suddenly gave up on breaking through the ice storm. Instead, it flew skywards on the force of the ice storm.
Before anyone could react, the Fire Fist Sparrow, having reached the peak, dived down sharply. Dense mes instantly enveloped its right foot, making it look like a falling meteor, as it plummeted towards Garulu.
Holy crap, isn¡¯t this the legendary falling¡ kick?
Watching the imposing Fire Fist Sparrow, Bai Qi was taken aback.
As a Fire Fist Sparrow, you ¡®re using a kicking technique? Are pet beasts keeping their abilities that hidden these days?
Chapter 294: 290: The End of the Match
It was evident that this move was a hidden maneuver of the Fire Punch Bird. Judging from its speed and force, its destructive power was definitely far greater than the previous ming punches.
¡°Garulu, use that attack!¡±
As he watched the gradually dissipating Ice Storm caused by the scorching heat of the rapidly descending Fire Punch Bird, Zhuge Chen¡¯s face turned serious, and he promptly issued instructions to Garulu.
Howl¡
Upon receiving themand, Garulu let out a long howl. In an instant, the Frozen Armor upon him released a radiant light, and a delicate ice ball slowly took shape next to Garulu¡¯s mouth.
Subsequently, just before Fire Punch Bird was about to hit Garulu, a pale blue ray was suddenly emitted from the ice ball and hit the Fire Punch Bird.
In an instant, the previously fierce Fire Punch Bird was directly turned into arge chunk of ice, even the mes on its body were frozen, yet it was still falling rapidly.
One could imagine that if itnded in such a force, the ice block would shatter, causing severe injuries to the Fire Punch Bird.
At this moment, after using up thest bit of energy, Garulu conjured a rotating ice slide in the air, cleverly diffusing the force of Fire Punch Bird¡¯s fall, finally allowing it tond safely on the ground.
¡°Looks like, the oue is pretty clear.¡±
President Qin and others exchanged smiles. The Fire Punch Bird¡¯s mutated attribute was not fully developed. In front of such unreasonable gear like the Rune Mechanical Armour, it was certainly unable to exploit any advantage.
However, this also proved that their view about Rune Mechanical Armors was correct.
This kind of equipment could definitely change the course of their future battles with the Ferocious Beast Tribe!
¡°The Fire Punch Bird has lost itsbat ability, Zhuge Chen wins!¡±
Looking at thepletely frozen Fire Punch Bird due to the Freeze Ray, Bai Qi evaluated its condition, announced the result of thepetition, and then summoned Gamma to assist the Fire Punch Bird in recovering its normal status.
The Freeze Ray was a skill he studiedter, emphasizing its freezing capability. Though it didn¡¯t cause much perceptible damage, the frostbite brought by the extreme cold was terrifying.
¡°Thank you.¡±
Tang Qi obviously knew the damage caused by the Freeze Ray. Seeing the Fire Punch Bird warming up quickly under Gamma¡¯s assistance, he promptly expressed his gratitude to Bai Qi.
¡°It¡¯s all in a day¡¯s work, no need to be so polite.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hand and looked at somewhat dispirited Fire Punch Bird, said: ¡°Your Fire Punch Bird should be a fire attribute mutation, right?¡±
Tang Qi nodded, ¡°Yes, the Fire Punch Bird originally was a Fire w Sparrow, but it suddenly evolved when I contracted with it.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood, ¡°You¡¯ve actually reared it very well. Thebination ofbat system and me skills is also very strong. However, I suggest that you should lean towards fire attribute skills, the early gains may berger.¡±
As a Beast Master who had contracted with three mutated species, Bai Qi was well aware of the advantages of the attributes mutation in thete stage. Though the growth of Spirit Controllers may be slower than Beast Masters, with proper growth, it would be a formidable force.
¡°I understand.¡±
Upon hearing this, Tang Qj nodded repeatedly, and unconsciously nced at Garulu on the other side, who was also somewhat tired due to the exhaustion of energy.
Garulu¡¯sbat ability was definitely not as strong as his Fire Punch Bird. If he was ever up close with the Fire Punch Bird, the result would be definitely different.
But Garulu incredibly managed to frustrate the Fire Punch Bird through ice attribute skills.
Although they said ice could restrain fire, simrly, fire could also resist ice. If the fire skills of Fire Punch Bird could be stronger, perhaps the oue would be different?
Thinking about this, a hint of helplessness shed in Tang Qi¡¯s eyes.
He was not a fool, obviously noticing that Garulu¡¯s ability came from the armor on its body. Without it, Fire Punch Bird could definitely suppress the opponent.
But he also knew clearly, like the innate skills of a Beast Master, equipment itself was also a kind of strength, just like the mutation attribute of Fire Punch Bird. They both were either unattainable or could be acquired in thete stage. What a pity! If only Fire Punch Bird had such a set of equipment.
Tang Qi¡¯s change of expression fell into Bai Qi¡¯s eyes. He looked around and noticed that surrounding Spirit Controllers were also discussing Garulu¡¯s armor.
Indeed, the publicity effect of an armored pet beast defeating a mutant species was way stronger than a normal battle.
Thinking about this, Bai Qi and President Qin exchanged nces. The old and young foxes shared a smile, the court was handed to the Chairman Zhuge, then Bai Qi pulled the two people to the center of the stage, and also called up Jing Si who had directly advanced as the third due to Song Qiuying¡¯s pet beast losing the battle.
Looking at the two people in front of him who were asionally casting their nces at Garulu, Bai Qi cleared his throat: ¡°On behalf of the Wuhou Corporation and the Association, I will distribute the top three rewards for this Spirit Controllerpetition.¡±
Upon finishing his words, Bai Qi took out three maic cards of different colors and handed them to the three people.
¡°As the top three in the first Spirit Controller Battle Championship, you are entitled to have the Rune Mechanical Armour research team of Wuhou Corporation provide a free custom-made armor for your pets, and you also have the right to keep your pet in Wuhou Breeding Pavilion for free for the rest of your life.¡±
¡°Rune Mechanical Armour?¡±
Not only Tang Qi and Jing Si but also the ears of all Spirit Controllers and Beast Masters watching the live broadcast stood up and focused on the Frozen Armor of Garulu.
¡°That¡¯s right, the armor on Zhuge Chen¡¯s Arctic Ice Wolf is Rune Mechanical Armour. I think everyone has already seen its effect.¡±
¡°Rune Mechanical Armour can maximize the ability of a pet beast and also provide an extrayer of protection for the pet beasts. It is thetestbat equipment for pet beasts developed by the Wuhou Corporation.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Well, now I¡¯ll hand it over to Chairman Zhuge.¡±
He had signed a confidentiality agreement, naturally, he could not casually reveal the designer of Rune Mechanical Armour.
So, adhering to the principle of ¡®the more you say, the more you lose¡¯, Bai Qi very decisively roped in Wuhou Corporation. And Zhuge Xu timely appeared on the stage, sessfully drawing everyone¡¯s attention to him.
As for Bai Qi, he quietly made his way backstage, observing Zhuge Xu effortlessly promote the Wuhou Dojo and Breeding Pavilion. He couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips.
¡°Actually, for the sake of secrecy, shouldn¡¯t this reward note from me?¡±
Hearing this, Yi Yu chuckled and said, ¡°Indeed, but your Rune Mechanical Layout and the Rune Mechanical Armour are too simr. If you don¡¯t announce it, people might end up suspecting something. Just consider it keeping everything under the radar.¡±
¡°Moreover, your fake identity was handled personally by the Thirteenth Bureau. Nobody could find any loopholes in it. So, you can just act clueless.¡±
¡°But to be on the safe side, I included you in the Rune Mechanical Armour research team. We¡¯ll wait for an opportune moment to have both of you appear simultaneously.¡±
After hearing Yi Yu¡¯ s n, Bai Qi couldn¡¯ t help but give him a thumbs up.
This special agency really knew how to handle such situations professionally.
Bang!
At that moment, Bai Qi was suddenly punched by someone. Turning around, he saw President Qin.
¡°You rascal, managed to bete even for something this important. It seems I will have to take back your Secret Realm Ring.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi quickly grabbed onto his Secret Realm Ring and said, ¡°President, this is unfair. I exchanged the Gemini Tower for this and furthermore¡¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t you mentionst time that you aren¡¯t ustomed to my punctuality?¡±
President Qin: ¡°¡¡±
This guy, with his deflection skills, can the association really trust him in the future?
He would definitely sell it out, right?
Of course, he would¡
¡°Hahaha¡I¡¯m liking you more and more, Bai Qi.¡±
Luo Xiang gave Bai Qi a thumbs up and said, ¡°I really wonder how Zhang Shan hasn¡¯t been angered to death by you in the past few months.¡±
Bai Qi just shrugged innocently. During the training, he had always arrived on time. If anything, he just didn¡¯t show up at all sometimes.
¡°Alright, since the Spirit Controllerpetition is over, I should head back to the Thirteenth Bureau. There are still quite a few matters that require my attention.¡±
Watching thepetition drawing to a close, Yi Yu stood up and bid everyone farewell.
¡°Minister Yi, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡±
President Qin nodded to Yi Yu, exchanged a few pleasantries and, along with everyone else, escorted him to the door.
¡°Everyone, hold on a moment.¡±
Yi Yu paused, looking at Bai Qi, he said, ¡°Every time I meet you, Bai Qi, you give me a pleasant surprise. I hope the next time we meet, we¡¯ll have some unexpected gains.¡±
¡°And my intuition tells me that it won¡¯t be too long before that happens.¡±
¡°Well then, I will take my leave.¡±
Following his words, a ray of light descended from the sky and Yi Yu disappeared.
¡°Sheesh¡ Using Snare and Starry Sky Gate for travel, the Thirteenth Bureau really is extravagant.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the empty sky above him and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little envious.
Although Delta had acquired the multifunctional Space Skill, Void Echo, byparison to the colossal mechanical creation, Snare, it was noticeably inferior.
I wonder when I¡¯ll be able to freely traverse space, never having to worry about beingte again¡
With Yi Yu¡¯s departure, President Qin didn¡¯t stay either, ¡°Alright, since the Spirit Controllerpetition is over, I should get going as well. There are some things that need to be taken care of at the Association.¡±
Whether it¡¯s the distribution and management of the Spirit-Control Orbs or the follow-up on the Rune Mechanical Armour, the Association had to step in. As the President, he had to put in extra effort.
Seeing President Qin about to leave, Bai Qi quickly stopped him, ¡°President, do you know of a ce where pets can fight freely?¡±
¡°Free fighting? Don¡¯t you have the portable Secret Realm?¡±
President Qin looked at Bai Qi quizzically while Bai Qi just scratched his head, embarrassed, ¡°Well, some of the pets are too rowdy. I¡¯m afraid they might damage the Secret Realm, so I thought about finding another ce to train.¡± ¡°Afraid of damaging the Secret Realm? Do you usually train them to the death?¡±
Looking at Bai Qi, President Qin said, ¡°Since Luo Xiang is free, let him test them at the Association and update your pet dictionary.¡±
¡°Um, is it really okay to let them fight at the Association? What if they break something?¡±
When Husky first assembled the Thunder Roar cannon, it caused considerable destruction. Now, even Delta¡¯s gentle touches could dismantle Jade Valley so Bai Qi wondered if the Association could withstand themotion caused by the pets.
¡°Rx, you won¡¯t have to pay for anything!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s concern, President Qin rolled his eyes exasperatedly.
This guy¡¯s already so rich, and he¡¯s still so stingy.
Chapter 295: 291: Immeasurable Balance
Chapter 295: Chapter 291: Immeasurable Bnce
Beast Master Association.
Thanks to President Qin¡¯s pet¡¯s teleportation skill, the three silently returned to the Beast Master Association.
¡°Your Wilting Dragon Lord is already a brand-new race, now it¡¯s King-level, it definitely won¡¯t appear in the album, it¡¯s a good time for an update.¡±
President Qin looked at Bai Qi and said, ¡°And your other few pets, do they look a bit different now from before?¡±
¡°Well, not much difference, nothing too significant.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head and followed behind President Qin, saying, ¡°But, President, should we really not go elsewhere to fight? Instructor Luo is after all a six-stage master, the usual battlefields can¡¯t handle such a tumult, right?¡±
Upon hearing that, President Qin smiled slightly and did not exin. He led the way ahead while Luo Xiang looked like he understood something, apparently aware of what was going on.
¡°These adults, they seem to enjoy keeping people in suspense¡¡±
Seeing the two behaving like this, Bai Qi contemptuously muttered to himself, but he had no choice but to follow them obediently.
After a long hallway, Bai Qi finally arrived at the deepest part of the fight area in the association.
While he had been part of the association for a while, it was Bai Qi¡¯s first time here and he could not help but be curious.
Compared to the battlefields outside that could be rented for personal use, this ce is only for internal staff to use so it was less crowded. As for where they were now, it was rarely visited by people.
¡°This is the battlefield in the association specifically reserved for Beast Masters of fourth level and above. Now that you are also at the fourth level, if you ever wish to train or fight, you cane here.¡±
President Qin nced at Bai Qi and said, ¡°Considering that a certain person frequently goes missing, from now on, any sort of training should be done here in this ce. Do you understand?¡±
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders but did not refuse.
Since this was a battlefield specifically designed for Beast Masters of fourth level and above, it should be hard to break. With this in mind, even if President Qin didn¡¯t ask, he would havee here on his own ord.
He thought, why not just live here for a while?
Just as Bai Qi was considering the feasibility of this idea, President Qin opened the door to a battle room, revealing an exceptionally wide battlefield in front of Bai Qi.
¡°President, are you sure this ce can withstand a fourth level fight and above?¡±
Bai Qi looked around for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t discern anything peculiar. However, the moment he entered the battlefield, he instantly sensed something off.
¡°Did you notice any differences between this battlefield and the usual ones?¡±
President Qin let out augh and said, ¡°Due to the explosive increase in the Energy Value of a fourth-level pet¡¯s skills, the effects also evolve, so not only was this battlefield constructed using special materials, it was also encased by specially designed space mechanics from the Federation. This ensures that the attacks inside don¡¯t leak out and it can also absorb any stray energy to replenish itself.¡±
¡°From a certain perspective, this could be considered an artificial secret realm, just feel free to fight.¡±
Space mechanics?
The moment Bai Qi heard it, his eyes light up as he started to look around. Sure enough, he found some hidden machines in the corner of the battlefield.
Creating a space that resembled a secret realm, he really wants to disassemble these machines to study¡
¡°You better not get any ideas about these things. The space these machines have formed is fixed. If you mess with one of them, the entirety of the space will be damaged, which can easily affect the association.¡±
President Qin saw through Bai Qi¡¯s cunning n and immediately gave him a warning.
¡°Alright¡¡±
Seeing the stern look on President Qin¡¯s face, Bai Qi knew the others weren¡¯t fooling around, so he regretfully sighed but followed the two into the battlefield.
¡°Alright, which one do you n to appraise first?¡±
Luo Xiang moved to the middle of the battlefield, stretching as he said, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve battled. Today I¡¯ll keep youpany and have some fun.¡±
Bai Qi thought for a while and summoned Gamma.
¡°Let¡¯s test Gamma first, his race has improved recently, I want to see what the changes are like.¡±
Previously, he wanted to let his husky and Gamma fight to see the effect of the twin pets¡¯ upgrade, but it was dyed due to a shortage of venues. After that, he was fully immersed in research andpletely forgot about it. Now that he had to appraise the new races, he let Gamma go first.
¡°Your slime evolved again?¡±
Luo Xiang looked at Gamma who no longer had any hint of evil power on him and was visibly surprised.
Could it be because of the Angel¡¯s wing?
Seeing their surprised faces, Bai Qi scratched his head and said, ¡°No choice, this guy eats a lot, and he evolved somehow from all the food.¡±
President Qin: ¡°¡¡±
Luo Xiang: ¡°¡¡±
Looking at Bai Qi who seemed reluctant to say more, Luo Xiang gave an exasperated shrug and said, ¡°Never mind, the evolution of pets is the secret of Beast Masters anyway. We won¡¯t probe further. Let¡¯s start.¡±
After saying that, Luo Xiang began to disy the runes to summon his pet.
¡°This is¡ bnce? Teacher Tong Hu?¡±
Seeing therge golden bnce gradually appeared from the rune circle, Bai Qi was astonished.
¡°Teacher Tong Hu? Howe I don¡¯t know that there is such a teacher in Star Mechanics?¡±
President Qin mused after hearing Bai Qi but couldn¡¯t recall such a person in Star Mechanics Academy.
¡°Cough, it¡¯s nothing. The appearance just reminded me of a two-dimensional character that¡¯s all.¡±
¡°Is that so? I better go take a good look then, there might be some inspiration for me.¡±
Luo Xiang chuckled at this, making Bai Qi¡¯s scalp tingle.
Even if he practice divine feats to change his gender now, he couldn¡¯t summon a saint fighter¡
¡°So¡ shall we get started?¡±
Seeing Luo Xiang actually took interest in Teacher Tong Hu, Bai Qi immediately changed the subject. Luo Xiang no longer pursued the matter andmanded his beast to enter the arena.
¡°Allow me to properly introduce my pet, the Immeasurable Bnce. It¡¯s a six stage King-level Equipment System.¡±
Luo Xiang pointed to the golden bnce in front of him and introduced.
[Name]: Immeasurable Bnce
[Nature]: Equipment System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level King
[Introduction]: Formed by the cultivation of ancient bnces, it can make judgments on everything¡¯s right or wrong.
An Equipment System?
It seemed like this was the first time he encountered an opponent of the Equipment System since bing a Beast Master.
Well, those mass-produced in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm don¡¯t count.
¡°But Instructor Luo, didn¡¯t you say your pets are from the Mythical System?¡±
¡°Yes, the Immeasurable Bnce should have been considered a Myth in the ancient times. Now that it has gained intelligence, it belongs to a branch of the Mythical System.¡±
Okay then, sorry to disturb you.
Bai Qi looked at the bnce in the battlefield with some envy. If given the chance, he would like to forge a contract with an Equipment System Beast as well.
¡°Ahem, hurry up and start, stop dithering.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s dithering, President Qin couldn¡¯t help but remind him. Bai Qi also regained his senses and said, ¡°Gamma, Gemini Devourer, Lord-level four stage.¡±
¡°Gemini Devourer? Sounds interesting.¡±
Luo Xiang gave a slight nod and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s an appraisal, you can go first.¡± Bai Qi nodded, looking at Gamma.
¡°Gamma, go all out in your attack, don¡¯t worry about damaging the opponent.¡± Krup-krup!
(Okay, Master.)
Gamma nodded in response. The Bloodsucking Aura and Deadly Poison Aura instantly spread out, covering the Immeasurable Bnce.
Although it was an Equipment System Beast, the Bloodsucking Aura could do more than just drain blood and the toxins in the Deadly Poison Aura were not only targeted at flesh and blood creatures.
Energy Absorption and Corrosion, these two basic abilities of Gamma had both been incorporated into the two Auras. Even against a divine artifact, Gamma was confident that it could turn it into scrap metal.
However, even though the power was suppressed, a six stage King was not something Gamma could easily shake. Although a lot of energy was absorbed, the Deadly Poison Aura had no effect at all.
Seeing this scene, Gamma without hesitation withdrew the Deadly Poison Aura, its body quickly stretched out, bing brilliant in color. Soon, it transformed into a crystal angel shining with Holy Light.
¡°It really did swallow Angel¡¯s Wings. The Bo Ge family must be regretting it right now.¡±
Seeing Gamma showing the Holy Light attribute and angelic form, Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t help butugh as he realized Lilith¡¯s Judgement Angel wings were probably eaten by Gamma.
At this moment, Gamma quickly entered abat state. Its crystal palms formed a triangle shape in front of its chest. A dazzling white light formed between its hands, which abruptly transformed into a beam shooting directly at the Immeasurable Bnce.
It was Gamma¡¯s super skill that had not been used until now, Holy Shock.
As described in the skill description, Holy Shock possessed both Holy Light and Thunderbolt attributes. Not only was it powerful, it was also extremely fast. It almost instantly crossed the wide battleground and arrived in front of the Immeasurable Bnce.
A scorched trench appeared where the Holy Shock passed.
¡°Speed, attack, both are top-notch. This must be a super skill, right?¡±
Facing Gamma¡¯s sudden attack, LuoXiangdidn¡¯t show any worry but looked with interest at Gamma¡¯s skill.
Six stage Kings could almost not be harmed by any beast, except for the seven stage legend. Naturally, Luo Xiang would not worry.
Finally, the Holy Shock hit the Immeasurable Bnce, but the bnce didn¡¯t shake at all. Instead, the left tray suddenly lit up, and the Holy Shock unexpectedly changed direction,nding on the tray as though a swallow was returning to its nest.
At the same time, the originally absolutely bnced Immeasurable Bnce began to tilt slowly until Gamma stopped the Holy Shock. Only then did the bnce stop moving.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect a skill from a Lord-level creature to contain so much energy. Bai Qi, your pet is quite impressive-¡±
Luo Xiang nced at the scales on the Immeasurable Bnce and was clearly a little surprised.
Impressive?
Impressive but couldn¡¯t even make your pet shake a bit. Even if it¡¯s a six stage King, isn¡¯t that a little too much.
Bai Qiughed dryly, nning to let Gamma continue his attack. But he saw the Immeasurable Bnce returning to a bnced state once again. On the right tray, a stream of ck energy appeared.
¡°The Immeasurable Bnce emphasizes bnce. So, let¡¯s see if you can withstand this much Shadow Department Power-¡°
Chapter 296: 292: Gone with the Wind~
Chapter 296: Chapter 292: Gone with the Wind~
¡°Absorb and convert energy? Doesn¡¯t seem so.¡±
Watching the two clusters of Holy Light and Shadow energy on the Immeasurable Bnce gradually bing bnced, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel somewhat astonished.
Leaving aside how the Immeasurable Bnce managed to absorb the energy of the Holy Shock, where did this shadow energy appearing out of nowheree from? Thispletely contradicts thew of conservation of energy.
Do all equipment-system pets behave this illogically?
Bai Qi clicked his tongue in envy, and at that moment, the Immeasurable Bnce returned to equilibrium.
In an instant, the shadow energy on the right side of the Immeasurable Bnce transformed into a shockwave and shot straight towards Gamma, looking identical to Gamma¡¯s Holy Shock.
The only difference between the two was their attributes ¡ª one was Holy Light, the other was Shadow.
Seeing this, Gamma didn¡¯t dodge. Under its control, the Bloodsucking Aura transformed into a light film attached to the Diamond Body. The shadow shockwave sent out by the Immeasurable Bnce was split in half by Gamma andnded on the walls on both sides.
Boom! Boom!
Two sessive explosions caused ripples to form on the surrounding walls of thebat room, which quickly subsided.
¡°Is this the space barrier? Interesting!¡±
Seeing this scene, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up once again.
I have to find a way to get this technology.
On the other side, seeing Gamma so easily block the Shadow Shock, Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t help but nod slightly.
¡°Not bad, it is both strong in offense and defense, much more flexible than its previous pure defense and counterattack.¡±
Luo Xiang was clear about Gamma¡¯s absurd defense, but even Mo Guan, the defensive master who specialized in defense, also had a pet with powerful offensive abilities.
After all, you can¡¯t guarantee that there will always be a teammate good atbat by your side every time.
¡°However, it¡¯s still not enough.¡±
Click-purr-click-purr.
(Master, can Gamma try that?)
Bai Qi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°Give it a try. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems with the Golden Cicada Shelling in effect.¡± Click-purr-click-purr!
(Then Gamma is on it!)
With Bai Qi¡¯s consent, Gamma instantly perked up. Its originally indestructible diamond body suddenly began to stretch and began to mimic a human form. Suddenly, another Diamond Angel Body appeared behind Gamma and directly fell down, bypassing the Shadow Shock and going straight for the Immeasurable Bnce.
As a general skill, Gamma could not achieve infinite splitting in the Diamond Body state like it did in the liquid monster state ¡ª at most, it could only split into one body. But the advantage was, this clone possessed all the abilities of the Holy Light Form in the main body.
This was also another application of the Twin-Life Contract.
¡°Oh? A clone with energy not weaker than the main body? That¡¯s not bad.¡± Seeing this, Luo Xiang slightly nodded. A clone with the same energy as the main body, even if its skill effects were slightlycking, was still quite potent. However, after Gamma split this body, it did notunch a Holy Shock again, but quickly ran towards the Immeasurable Bnce.
The Immeasurable Bnce also seemed to realize something. It swayed its huge body. A golden pointer suddenly fell from the bnce and turned into a golden longsword, stabbing straight towards Gamma.
You¡¯ve got to be shitting me, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not Tonghu!
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help butin once again. But by this time, Gamma¡¯s clone had already engaged the golden sword.
Although it was uncontrolled, the golden sword¡¯s offensive was very sharp. Every attacknded at the vital points of Gamma¡¯s clone.
However, this clone also inherited the hardness of the Diamond Body, and it resisted the sh of the golden sword. It quickly reached the front of the Immeasurable Bnce.
Seeing this, severalponents separated from the Immeasurable Bnce and transformed into various weapons to attack Gamma¡¯s clone.
However, because of this, the Immeasurable Bnce¡¯s Shadow Shock stopped. The freed Gamma immediatelyunched a Holy Shock to cover its clone, sessfully protecting its clone to arrive in front of the Immeasurable Bnce.
¡°One ranged, one melee, working together seamlessly. That¡¯s pretty good.¡± Seeing this, Luo Xiang nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°If you could bring out your demon form too, that would be even better.¡±
As soon as his voice fell, a burst of green energy suddenly surged from Gamma¡¯s glowing clone. The Diamond Body also gradually burst into Evil Energy me.
¡°So that¡¯s really the case.¡±
Luo Xiangughed, snapped his fingers, and the Immeasurable Bnce suddenly dispersed, transforming into numerousponents ready to reassemble.
Boom!
Just then, Gamma¡¯s Diamond clone suddenly exploded. As the Holy Light and Evil Energy mixed, they unleashed a destructive force much greater than before. A massive bi-color sphere instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. What¡¯s more, the terrifying explosion carried Diamond fragments and scattered them all around. They sent ripples onto the surrounding space barriers of thebat field, causing some areas to appear twisted.
¡°You little brat, are you deliberately trying to tear down the Association?¡± Looking at the familiar scene before him, the corners of President Qin¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. Murderous intent filled his body as he looked at Bai Qi next to him.
¡°Cough, President, you can¡¯t me me for this. I¡¯ve always said not to fight in the Association.¡±
Bai Qi sullenly shrunk his neck to avoid President Qin¡¯ s murderous gaze. But upon seeing the destructive power caused by Gamma¡¯s clone, he nodded satisfactorily.
Although it was merely a copy, the Energy Value stored was not as much as the original body, but because Gamma had deliberately adjusted the ratio of the two energies, the destructive power caused by the explosion was not any less than what had happened in the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
What a pity, I didn¡¯t summon Beta here. The sight would have definitely met Beta¡¯s aesthetic taste.
Just then, a crunchy sound of a ticking hand suddenly echoed in Bai Qi¡¯s ear. Following that, the explosion Energy that covered the whole field was visibly shrinking at a rapid pace. Eventually, it formed into a massive golden stein.
¡°Tsk, tsk, it almost exceeded the absorption limit of the Immeasurable Bnce¡¯s Sky Blue Stein. This move really took me by surprise.¡±
Slightly pping his hands, Luo Xiang walked up to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Even Zhang Shan couldn¡¯t break the absorption limit of the Sky Blue Stein.¡± ¡°Instructor Luo, your beast is a little too strong, don¡¯t you think?¡±
Looking at the Immeasurable Bnce that flew intact behind Luo Xiang, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.
No wonder everyone thought Luo Xiang might seed Zhao Futu¡¯s position. Looking at it now, he¡¯s indeed quite overpowered.
¡°That¡¯s something I should be saying.¡±
Luo Xiang shook his head, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen any fourth-stage Lord that can force the Immeasurable Bnce to bring out the Sky Blue Stein. Besides, if I am not mistaken, your main beast should also be able to use this explosion skill, right? If it¡¯s the same stage, I can¡¯t guarantee that the Immeasurable Bnce can withstand it.¡±
¡°Hehe¡ Do you think I¡¯d believe you?¡±
Bai Qi pursed his lips, his face full of disbelief.
Even though this Sky Blue Stein was a little exaggerated, I have never seen a bnce with a single stein.
But if we put aside the number of steins and focus on the swaying degree of the Evolution Egg, it was evident that the Immeasurable Bnce was quite precious.
ncing at the Evolution Egg which still stuck at ny-nine percent, Bai Qi instantly transformed into a curious guy, gently tapping the Immeasurable Bnce.
Hum, hum, hum¡
After a violent shake, the Golden Egg was full of cracks, and its progress finally reached a hundred percent.
As expected, thest one percent of the Evolution Egg had to rely on these special creatures to beplete.
¡°Then there¡¯s noway.¡±
Luo Xiang, unknown of Bai Qi¡¯s thoughts, shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at President Qin, ¡°Although we didn¡¯t get to see the other Demon ss skills, the High-grade Lord stage is more or less confirmed.¡±
President Qin nodded his head. Even though the destructive force that Gamma disyed was clearly beyond the performance of a typical fourth-stage Lord creature, the Bloodline Level was indeed still at the Lord level.
¡°Alright, one is done. Who¡¯s next? Will it be an Undead King-level beast?¡±
Luo Xiang looked at Bai Qi with interest, clearly expecting Bai Qi¡¯s next beast.
¡°Alpha is not in a hurry to test. Let¡¯s try this guy first.¡±
Bai Qi motioned, summoning the Husky. As soon as he saw the Husky appear, President Qin appeared to be very alert, ¡°Bai Qi, are you really going to bring down the Association?¡±
He clearly remembered that this guy had caused a lot of trouble for Mo Guan who was at the sixth stage, even when it was just at the second stage. Although Mo Guan did suppress his strength, it still proved a point.
After all, it¡¯s fourth-stage now.
Arf?
(1 sensed deep malice from this human. Can I bite him?)
Beta immediately detected the President Qin¡¯s malice towards him. Its three eyes silently scanned up and down the President, obviously looking for the best ce to attack.
Bang!
¡°Are you really nning to reverse the roles with Gamma? One has switched to explosions; the other has be a foodie?¡±
Bai Qi punched strongly on Beta¡¯s head. Then Beta noticed the giant pit in the ground, yet contrary to Bai Qi¡¯s expectations, it did not seem excited at all. Arf, arf!
(Mere physical explosion, can¡¯t impress me anymore.)
Bai Qi ced his hand astonishingly on Beta¡¯s head, it doesn¡¯t feel hot?
Darn, did his brain crack open when his third eye opened?
¡°Three-eyed? Did Yi Yu give you a resource from the three-eyed civilization?¡± Luo Xiang quickly noticed the third eye on Beta¡¯s head. After pondering for a while, he guessed the origin of Beta¡¯s eye.
¡°Instructor Luo, you knew about it? Is there any problem with this thing?¡± Upon hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s heart tightened, he asked hastily.
¡°Of course not, moreover, this resource of the mythical level is quite high- quality.¡±
Luo Xiang smiled, ¡°I rememberst time he gave you a Crystal Dragon Bone, right? Seems like Yi Yu appreciates you quite a bit.¡±
¡°When you put it like that, it seems so.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ording to the rules, Beast Masters belonging to other powers would not receive high-level mythical resources even in trades. However, the two Yi Yu gave him were indeed good quality.
Could it be possible, that guy wanted to poach him?
Hmm, it seems President Zhao Futu mentioned they could work part-time in the Thirteenth Bureau? Should I just sign up for it? That shouldn¡¯t count as switching sides, right?
As Bai Qi was contemting the feasibility of this move, he suddenly sensed danger from two pairs of eyes nearby. He then remembered he was still in the Association and immediately coughed awkwardly, ¡°Well then, let¡¯s test Beta¡¯s abilities. Although it has not undergone Racial Evolution, it seems its racial value has increased quite a bit.¡±
Thinking about job-hopping at your own ce, what a miscalction! He¡¯s been overconfidenttely, needs to read some books for self-reflection soon.
Chapter 297: 293: Spirit Blast is the Ultimate Way!
Chapter 297: Chapter 293: Spirit st is the Ultimate Way!
¡°The race values have increased again? Well, inheriting the talent of the three- eyed civilization creature, even direct racial evolution is pretty normal.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, putting away the Immeasurable Bnce, and then summoned another pet,
¡°Coincidentally, my sixth pet, Skul, is also from the wolf species. The battle among the same race should be much more interesting.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nced at the giant wolf in the arena that nearly upied half of the battlefield, his mouth twitched slightly.
¡°That, Instructor Luo, isn¡¯t yours also¡¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I mentionst time, all my pets are of mythical species, and of course, so is Skul.¡±
[Name]: Sunchasing Demon Wolf
[Nature]: Wolf Species
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
[ Introduction]: It is said that its ancestors were the mythical wolves chasing the sun. It is vicious and cunning. If the Beast Master is not careful, they might easily be betrayed by it.
Schuck timely reported the race of Skul. Upon hearing that it easily betrayed the Beast Master, Bai Qi admired Luo Xiang even more.
He dared to contract with a pet that easily betrayed the Beast Master. Was this the pattern of a top figure?
However,paring a mythical species king creature with a lord creature seemed to trivialize the matter a bit.
¡°All right, since we have to continue, let¡¯s start then. I¡¯m old and don¡¯t have the energy to wait for your young ones.¡±
President Qin interrupted the two¡¯s conversation, nced at the arena that had been almost repaired by the maintenance robots, and warned, ¡°Just a heads up, you two better take it easy.¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged, looked at Bai Qi, and said, ¡°So, let¡¯s start.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, returning to his former position, and the husky also took its own position.
¡± I will suppress the power of Sunchasing Demon Wolf at four Level. This could present a better effect.¡±
Luo Xiang bowed slightly, gesturing for Bai Qi to make the first move. However, before Bai Qi could respond, Husky had already moved.
They saw the Etherium Liquid Gold on Schuck¡¯s body rapidly flowing and expanding, wrapping his entire body, and swiftly switching to the Two-headed Ice Wolf form.
However,pared to before, there were evidently many more rune structures on the body of the Two-headed Ice Wolf.
As the first contestant other than Bai Qi to apply rune mechanics to battle, Schuck naturally would not neglect such a powerful weapon. He had designed several sets suitable for different battles long ago.
The set he¡¯s using now was designed tobat enemies with huge body sizes.
Seeing the husky, which was initially smaller than its own paw, suddenly turned asrge as itself, the Sunchasing Demon Wolf also lifted his spirits. Without waiting for its Beast Master¡¯smand, itunched an attack on Husky.
Seeing this, Husky also showed no intention of avoiding it and responded in kind.
Bang!
The two giant wolves collided and instinctively bit each other¡¯s throat. However, the speed of the Sunchasing Demon Wolf was obviously faster than that of Husky, taking the lead in biting Schuck¡¯s throat.
Just as the teeth of Sunchasing Demon Wolf were about to pierce the defense of Etherium Liquid Gold, the array on the Two-headed Ice Wolf suddenly lit up, followed by a wisp of Thunder me Power that instantly spread all over the body and flowed to its body through the teeth of the Sunchasing Demon Wolf.
Roar¡
Feeling the attack of the Thunder me Power, the Sunchasing Demon Wolf immediately let go of its mouth, but it was not out of fear but out of greed that it absorbed the Thunder me Power into its body.
¡°Good boy, it¡¯s like you¡¯re serving the opponent a meal.¡±
Seeing the performance of Sunchasing Demon Wolf, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but marvel.
Even when the strength was suppressed to the Four Level, its bloodline was still there.
Sunchasing, never sparing the sun, let alone Thunder me Power.
¡°In this situation, ordinary energy attacks are ineffective.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the increasingly high-spirited Sunchasing Demon Wolf and muttered to himself. Schuck also instantly figured out the problem, stopped releasing Thunder me Power, used it as a driving force instead, andunched an attack on the Sunchasing Demon Wolf with the Two-headed Ice Wolf.
Being deprived of the Thunder me Power, the Sunchasing Demon Wolf was clearly dissatisfied and didn¡¯t give any leeway to Husky. Its wolf ws swiftly swiped, all aimed at Husky¡¯s vital parts.
If Luo Xiang and Bai Qi were not on good terms, those who didn¡¯t know, might have thought that these two had a grudge against each other upon seeing the aggressive way the Sunchasing Demon Wolf attacked.
¡°Has your Sunchasing Demon Wolf already awakened its mythical bloodline?¡±
Looking at the aggressive Sunchasing Demon Wolf, President Qin could not help but ask.
¡°Yes, I developed a secret realm a few days ago, and there happened to be materials suitable for Sunchasing Demon Wolf, so I awakened its bloodline.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and said, ¡°But its temperament has also be a bit troublesome, so it¡¯s a good chance to tame it.¡±
¡°Are you so confident about Bai Qi¡¯s pet?¡±
Upon hearing this, President Qin was somewhat surprised, while Luo Xiang smiled and said, ¡°If it were only of the Mechanical Engineering Department before, it might not be possible, but now that the Three-eyed Civilization is added, it¡¯s a different story.¡±
¡°Three-eyed Civilization¡counting it, it can barely be regarded as a mythical bloodline.¡±
President Qin slightly nodded, and they both turned their attention to the field.
Despite the ferocious attack of the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf, the two-headed war wolf didn¡¯t show any signs of defeat. It managed to dodge the demon wolf¡¯s attacks urately every time and exploited its versatile weapons to attack the demon wolf¡¯s weak points.
With the help of the super skill ¡®Insight into Everything,¡¯ Husky¡¯s ability to capturebat details peaked.
After a while, the demon wolf, unsessful in its attacks, was aroused to fierceness. Its body was suddenly cloaked in a deep red me. From afar, it looked as if a great sun was burning in the field.
Seeing this, the two-headed war wolf immediately increased its distance. Simultaneously, two giant jet ports extended from its shoulder position. Two freeze rays were formed instantly, shooting at the demon wolf.
However, the me on the demon wolf¡¯s body was evidently not on the same level as that of the Fire Fist Bird. The freeze rays were incinerated into nothingness the moment they touched the demon wolf¡¯s me.
If the demon wolf dares to chase the sun, how could the temperature of its me be low?
Howl¡
(Beta doesn¡¯t like this guy.)
Perhaps because of the influence of the Arctic Ice Wolf bloodline, Beta began to dislike the demon wolf even more. The third eye on its forehead suddenly opened. A light blue glow swept across the demon wolf, and a vast spirit power followed the line of sight of the third eye and attacked the demon wolf.
This time, the demon wolf, who had been toying around, felt a sudden shock to its soul. Before it could adjust, it heard Beta¡¯s high-pitched howl. An overwhelmingly domineering voice echoed directly in the demon wolf¡¯s head. Demon Subduing Mantra!
Combing the Soul Whisper and demon-shattering roar, the Demon Subduing Mantra attacked directly at the soul. Beta also added the Buddhist scriptures that it usually recites into it, which further strengthened the effect.
However, while the demon wolf had suppressed its strength, its soul was still that of a mythical king species. So, after a short adaptation period, it began to counterattack.
However, before the demon wolf could sessfully counterattack, another more enormous spirit power surged into its soul, momentarily stunning the demon wolf.
¡°So that¡¯s it. Since it didn¡¯t work with physical explosion, it tried spirit st?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips, suddenly understanding the meaning of Beta¡¯s previous words.
¡°Tsk, it can even influence the soul of the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf. Is this thing really of the rank of a Lord?¡±
Seeing this, Luo Xiang was truly amazed.
Although the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf was not his main pet, it was also incredibly powerful. Now, it had been stunned by a Lord creature. In aplishing this, it was no longer enough to describe Bai Qi, the Beast Master, as a freak.
Howl!!!
Exactly because of this, the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf was thoroughly enraged. After regaining its senses, it immediately released its suppressed power. A deep red me formed in its mouth, turning into a rain of fire that rushed directly towards Husky.
The temperature of this me was extremely high. If it covered Schuck, he would undoubtedly be melted into molten iron.
Despite the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf¡¯s intensified attacks, Beta showed no signs of retreating. Its expression suddenly became calm, its body dramatically shrank to the size of a human, and it sat there cross-legged.
Under such circumstances, when the mes approached Beta, they bent as if they were alive and did not hurt Husky at all.
Seeing this, the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf was about to attack aggressively, but its body suddenly stiffened and fell limp to the ground.
¡°If it can¡¯t even defeat a fourth-stage Lord, it should go back and train well.¡±
Luo Xiang criticized his pet without mercy and then put the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf away. Looking at the invisible barrier around Husky, he said, ¡°Bai Qi, your pet must have had a spirit power mutation, right? It¡¯s really a perfect match for the resources of the Three-eyed Civilization.¡±
With Luo Xiang¡¯s eyesight, it was natural to see that when Beta shrank, it alsopressed its spirit power around its body to form a powerful spirit power barrier.
Although the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf¡¯s fire was dominant, its effectiveness against this pure spirit power was extremely poor. Not to mention that Beta was even rotating the spirit power barrier, like a spinning top, forcibly pushing away the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf¡¯s attack.
However, even so, Beta¡¯s spirit power was a bit too high.
Hearing Luo Xiang¡¯s praise, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but scratch his head. Beta also stopped and looked around at the mes on the ground, feeling somewhat fearful afterwards.
Howl¡
(I was scared to death, I thought I wouldn¡¯t be able to block it¡)
¡°No, ording to my calctions, the spirit power barrier would rotate at such speed. Unless it¡¯s an extremely piercing attack, it¡¯s likely to be moved to the side.¡±
Howl?
(What about the small probability?)
¡°In a small probability, you¡¯ll be burned to death, and I¡¯ll transfer to other devices.¡±
Howl!
Beta looked at its split consciousness in shock, obviously, not expecting that even its own body was considered in itscalctions.
Really, doesn¡¯t anyone regte this?
Beta looked pitifully at its Beast Master, but Bai Qi¡¯s mind was not on this at all.
Of course, he was aware of why Beta could block the attack of the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf. Mind Helmet and the Spirit Power Storage Device, along with the support of Three-eyes, made Beta¡¯s Spirit power level almost on par with that of King creatures.
At least, that was the feedback he got from Alpha.
¡°The effect is so good, I might as well arrange one for the silkwormter, which will make the effect of Dreand even better.¡±
Chapter 298: 294: Swearing to Victory... Claw!
Chapter 298: Chapter 294: Swearing to Victory¡ w!
Although Bai Qi knew that the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf had not yet unleashed his full strength, he was quite satisfied that Beta could achieve this much with only its spirit power.
Influencing the spirit power of king-level creatures, even with the boost from the Mind Helmet, was quite remarkable.
At least among creatures of the same rank, besides the Super Energy Apartment, very few could withstand Beta¡¯s spiritual attacks.
This time, Beta really stood up. It hadn¡¯t been easy.
¡°Given the currentbat power disyed by Beta, its bloodline level should be a High-grade Lord,¡± Luo Xiang concluded. He couldn¡¯t help buttease, ¡°However, the likelihood of duplicating these two pets of yours is basically zero. It seems like they¡¯re just there for show.¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be that bad, can it?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head. Once he discovered the technology forbining machinery and flesh, Schuck should be replicable. As for Alpha and the others¡
He decided to drop the idea.
¡°Alright, it¡¯s now time for your king-level undead, isn¡¯t it?¡±
A gleam shed in Luo Xiang¡¯s eyes. ¡°Many people have high expectations for it, considering the way it fought three opponents at once during yourpetition.¡±
Bai Qi smiled at hisment and summoned Alpha.
Compared to his other pets, Alpha indeed made quite an impression during thepetition.
¡°In that case, let¡¯s begin.¡±
Luo Xiang snapped his fingers, and the North Wind Madness Eagle Neal appeared in the battlefield.
¡°Since both are King-level creatures, there is no need to suppress their power. Let¡¯s have a real battle, and your pet has already reached the peak of the fourth stage, right?¡± Luo Xiang nced at Alpha and asked.
¡°Yes, Alpha is at Four Stage Nine Level.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. As the pet that trained the most diligently in his team, Alpha naturally leveled up the fastest. It was now essentially waiting to breakthrough to the Fifth Stage.
[Name]: Death Sword Monarch (Alpha)
[Nature]: Undead Department
[Level]: Four Stage Nine Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-grade King
[Racial skills]: Death Force Field (Transcendent Level ¨C Proficient), Sword of Death (Transcendent Level ¨C Perfect), Undying me (Super Level ¨C Proficient), Dark Reflection (Super Level ¨C Master), Gravity Amplification (Super Level ¨C Master), Sword de Storm (Super Level ¨C Master), Dragon Might (High Level ¨C Perfect), Skeleton Maniption (High Level ¨C Perfect), Wind Wound (High Level ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 2E4600W
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Luo Xiang looked at President Qin and grinned, ¡°President, please turn the defense power here to the maximum.¡±
Upon hearing this, President Qin sighed, ¡°This will be equivalent to the defense strength of the Sixth Stage. It seems we will need to discuss upgrading our systems with the Federation afterwards.¡±
Despite his grumbles, President Qin still turned the power of the Space Barrier in the field to its maximum. Ayer of spatial barrier promptly appeared around thebat room.
Given that the power of the North Wind Madness Eagle was already unusual for a Six Stage creature and Alpha¡¯s Death Force Field was an overly powerful ability, judging from thest two fights, the barrier might be broken if the power wasn¡¯t at its highest.
Looking at the substantial space barrier around them, Bai Qi gave a slight nod. He then turned to Alpha, ¡°Alpha, give your all in the uing battle. Winning or losing doesn¡¯t matter. Let¡¯s see what your current limit is.¡±
tter, tter.
(Boss, I won¡¯t lose.)
Bai Qi was startled at the response. Seeing Alpha, with the Sword of Death in hand, fly into mid-air, he was left amazed.
Not even daunted by a six-stage mythical king-level creature, was Alpha this confident now?
¡°Then, let thepetition begin!¡±
Seeing that both pets were in position, President Qin announced the start of the match, and at the same time, Alphaunched its attack.
Facing North Wind Madness Eagle, which was of a higher level, Alpha didn¡¯t resort to any fancy techniques. Instead, it wielded the Sword of Death and sped towards the North Wind Madness Eagle relying purely on speed.
However, as the main pet and Luo Xiang¡¯s longtime travelingpanion, the North Wind Madness Eagle¡¯s speed was naturally not weak. With a p of its wings, it dodged Alpha¡¯s sword sh with agility. Simultaneously, a cold bone-chilling wind arose from nowhere, blowing towards Alpha.
In response to the North Wind Madness Eagle¡¯s attack, a shadow crystal instantly appeared in front of it, and a mirror image emerged from it.
Then, golden light enveloped the mirror image, causing it to start spinning rapidly. Wind des and metallic edges appeared one by one, encircling the mirror image as it spun at high speed, forming a de storm that confronted the North Wind Madness Eagle¡¯s cold wind.
¡°Mirror Image + Sword de Storm? Hmm, using the effect of physical immunity topensate for theck of defensive power of the Mirror Image, that¡¯s a good idea.¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly, originally the primary function of Dark Reflection was to block damage and confuse the enemy. With thisbination, it unexpectedly added an extra fighting force.
However, Alpha was clearly not satisfied just yet. Seeing that the storm created by the mirror image¡¯s sword de barely held up against the Cold Wind, a demonically red light shed in Alpha¡¯s eyes. An Undying me immediately attached itself to the storm of the sword de, transforming into a fire tornado and charged towards the North Wind Madness Eagle.
As the fire tornado shed with the Cold Wind, the whole battlefield abruptly transformed into an odd environment, alternating quickly between cold and hot. The ground under thebatants began to fracture gradually.
Nevertheless, after the fire tornado advanced a certain distance, it stopped, unable to proceed any further. In contrast, the North Wind Madness Eagle appeared to glide effortlessly.
A six-stage mythical species, whether in terms of energy value or skill intensity, was much stronger than ordinary creatures of the same tier.
But Alpha apparently didn¡¯t n on hurting the opponent with the fire tornado. In the instant when the two sides reached a stalemate, Alpha¡¯s wind wings on his back vibrated and he broke through the Cold Wind in an instant, swinging the Sword of Death to stab directly at the wing of the North Wind Madness Eagle.
The primary target for a creature of the flying system, like this one, would naturally be to disable its ability to fly.
The North Wind Madness Eagle seemed to understand the uniqueness of the Sword of Death as well. With a sharp howl, a gust of wind suddenly enveloped its wing. Instead of retreating, the Eagle advanced, striking at the Sword of Death with its wing.
Seeing this, Alpha did not change his attack style, instead, he elerated his speed to stab at the North Wind Madness Eagle once again.
As expected, the whirlwind on the body surface of the North Wind Madness Eagle could notpletely obstruct the Sword of Death. The surface whirlwind didn¡¯tst a moment, falling directly into silence.
However, in return, the trajectory of the Sword of Death was affected by the whirlwind. Unbeknownst to anyone, its course had veered off, passing by the wing of the North Wind Madness Eagle without hurting it at all.
¡°Using a minimal force to move a heavy weight? Could wind skills also be manipted in this way?¡±
Bai Qi widened his eyes, stunned by this revtion. The wind moves unpredictably, but when most people use wind skills, they usually focus on exploiting its cutting attribute. Techniques like the North Wind Madness Eagle¡¯s, using countless small vortexes in the whirlwind to divert an attack, were indeed rare.
Alpha was equally surprised. Since he had obtained the Sword of Death, this was the first enemy that had evaded the attack of the Sword of Death with such cleverness.
But Alpha¡¯s surprisested only for an instant and heunched another attack.
This time, Alpha showcased his terrifying speed, creating countless sword shadows to attack all parts of the North Wind Madness Eagle.
If one attack isn¡¯t enough, thenunching countless attacks wouldpensate for it!
¡°The effects of personally experiencing this speed and watching it from afar are indeed not quite the same.¡±
Feeling the information transmitted from the North Wind Madness Eagle, Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t help but marvel.
¡°Instructor Luo is, it¡¯s quite clear that the North Wind Madness Eagle hasn¡¯t gotten serious yet.¡±
Bai Qi smirked, even though it seemed the North Wind Madness Eagle was being hit by Alpha without the power to fight back, a closer look revealed something else. Each time the Sword of Death broke through the whirlwind defense of the North Wind Madness Eagle, the Eagle would narrowly dodge with almost imperceptible movements.
These movements were minuscule to the point where from afar, it looked like Alpha was attacking nothing more than an illusion.
¡°I suppose so¡¡±
Luo Xiang replied with a faint smile without addressing Bai Qi¡¯sment directly.
Creak, creak.
(Master, it is strong!)
At this moment, Alpha suddenly transmitted a message to Bai Qi.
Although short, Bai Qi could feel Alpha¡¯s excitement, including his delight in challenging strong opponents.
¡°It appears Alpha has been pent-up recently-¡±
Ever since returning to Gusu City, although Alpha had been training incessantly, he had curbed his strength to focus on details. It had indeed been a long time since he was able to act without any restrictions.
It seemed, when there was nothing else to do, he should take on more tasks allowing his pets to stretch their legs. After all, theory without practice is empty.
While Bai Qi was thinking, a figure suddenly leaped out of the fire tornado, soaring high above the North Wind Madness Eagle. Clutching the Gravity Sword, which had somehow appeared in the hands of the Mirror Image, it struck down violently on the North Wind Madness Eagle.
To prevent the North Wind Madness Eagle from dodging, the Mirror Image maximized the gravity surrounding its body as it reached the highest point, descending faster than Alpha¡¯s attack speed, and in an instant, arrived above the North Wind Madness Eagle.
If hit directly by the Gravity Sword, even a mythical species like North Wind Madness Eagle would not be spared under such terrifying gravity.
However, just as the Gravity Sword was about to hit the North Wind Madness Eagle, its body suddenly dissipated into a gust of wind. At the same time, a sharp w emerged from the Cold Wind behind Alpha¡¯s main body and attacked Alpha¡¯s back.
How could a mythical kind of king be easily ambushed?
But as a speed mutant species, Alpha¡¯s reaction was also extremely fast. Seeing the enemy in front of him dissipate into the wind, without moving his body, his arm rotated like a machine, directly stabbing at the North Wind Madness Eagle behind him.
This move was a standard operation when Alpha was still a mere skeleton soldier.
Although Alpha¡¯s move caught North Wind Madness Eagle off guard, yet before the Sword of Death could touch the North Wind Madness Eagle, Alpha was hit by some kind of invisible attack and his crystal armor shattered.
¡°A stealth attack? No, its form was hidden by the Cold Wind.¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw what was happening, quickly assessing the North Wind Madness Eagle¡¯s attacking method.
¡°I definitely want one, just thinking about the Sword of Sworn Victory gives me chills-¡°
Chapter 299: 295: Appraisal Completed
Chapter 299: Chapter 295: Appraisal Completed
Bai Qi looked with some envy at the North Wind Wild Eagle who had sessfully ambushed Alpha, and had already started thinking about how to take out some parts from the Eagle.
Judging from the previous attack, this attack should be rted to the ws, should he discuss with Instructor Luo, giving the North Wind Wild Eagle a manicureter?
Elsewhere.
The invisible attack from the North Wind Wild Eagle gave Alpha no time to dodge, its crystal armorpletely shattered, and the Wild Eagle was still showing no sign of rxation, its ws continued to grab towards Alpha.
Just as the Wild Eagle¡¯s ws touched Alpha, Alpha shattered like a broken mirror, while the mirror image that fell rapidly due to the missed attack suddenly rushed back, cing a heavy sh on the North Wind Wild Eagle with the gravity sword.
From the beginning, the one at the very front was Alpha¡¯s real body.
Struck straight on by the Gravity Sword, the North Wind Wild Eagle¡¯s movements became markedly slower, and Alpha, seizing the advantageous position, promptly followed up with a few more thrusts of its sword.
With the amplification of gravity stacking up the gravity experienced by the North Wind Wild Eagle, the Wild Eagle¡¯s speed advantage would gradually be lost, and by then, it would be entirely at Alpha¡¯s mercy.
However, the North Wind Wild Eagle obviously also realized the effect of the Gravity Sword. A glimmer of blue light shed in its eyes, instantly elerating its speed to forcefully evade Alpha¡¯s barrage, in contrast, the originally astonishingly quick Alpha began to visibly slow its own attack frequency.
[Skill Name]: Eternal Winter Forcefield
[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level
[Skill Description]: Forcefield skill, within the range of the forcefield, everything would enter an endless winter, even thoughts would gradually cease in this extreme cold environment.
¡°Tsk¡ To be forced to utilize the force field by a fourth stage king, that¡¯s a real loss of face.¡±
Upon seeing this, Luo Xiang let out a helpless sigh. Originally, he was indeed prepared for the North Wind Wild Eagle to use the force field, but it was to counter Alpha¡¯s Death Force Field, not for this kind of reason.
Even though it¡¯s clearly a creature of the Skeletal Type, it has so many weird andplicated abilities.
On the other hand, without hesitation, Alpha, who began to gradually slowdown due to the spreading of the Eternal Winter Force Field, activated its own Death Force Field, and the abnormalities guing its body suddenly disappeared. However, aside from that, the rest of the surrounding area had already turned into a frozen wastnd.
Even the Undying me within the Fire Tornado began showing signs of being frozen.
North Wind Wild Eagle, although ¡®wind¡¯ is in its name, is its strongest ability ice-based?
Bai Qi sneered, and clicked his tongue contemptuously. He impressed upon himself how meticulously he always tried to think of a race name that suited his pet beast¡¯s power, looking at it now, he obviously thought too much.
Yes, it was decided, the next evolution of Alpha would be called the Living King.
While Bai Qi was thinking about how the choice of race names could misguide others, Alpha dismissed the Sword de Storm and the Fire Tornado, even putting away the Gravity Sword. Gripping the Sword of Death in one hand, it pointed at the North Wind Wild Eagle.
Although it had not yet revealed itself, Alpha had sensed that the Eternal Winter Force Field possessed both wind and ice attributes. The icy wind was piercing like a de. In this extremely freezing environment, the wind attacks from the North Wind Wild Eagle seemed particrly deadly.
Unless Alpha could enhance the Undying me and the Sword de Storm to the transcendent level, they could not disy their full power in this Eternal Winter Force Field.
The only thing that couldpete with the force field was simrly a force field skill.
Thinking of this, Alpha¡¯s Death Force Field expanded once again. Where it covered, the icy wind all disappeared, forcefully viting the Eternal Winter Force Field.
¡°The Death Force Field, it¡¯s really troublesome.¡±
Upon seeing this, the expression of Luo Xiang became grave. The confrontation between the force fields was actually much simpler than other skills. Whoever had the stronger force field, had the authority within that area.
Generally speaking, higher creatures have absolute suppression over lower creatures, let alone the North Wind Wild Eagle being of a mythical species, the effect of its force field skill was also something ordinary kings could not match.
However, Alpha, with a fourth-stage king¡¯s force field, forcefully endured the erosion of the North Wind Wild Eagle¡¯s sixth-stage force field, clearly showing the specialness of the Death Force Field.
Soon, the Death Force Field and the Eternal Winter Force Field entered into a stalemate, but the actions of the twin pets did not stop.
Being a sixth-stage mythical species King, North Wind Wild Eagle obviously could not ept this situation, a blue light shed in its eyes, and des that were like wind and ice appeared in the air, whistling towards Alpha.
Under the reinforcement of the Eternal Winter Force Field, these des were not extinguished by Alpha¡¯s Death Power like other energy, they only stalled for a moment before continuing towards the target again.
Alpha, upon observing this did not dodge, concentrating all its strength into the Sword of Death, and slowly, spirits emitting a pitch-ck luster began to emerge from the Sword of Death.
These were the spirits of the ferocious beasts that were killed by Alpha prior to its discovery of the Cordyceps.
After being in by the Sword of Death, these beast souls were stored within the Sword of Death, and now upon Alpha¡¯s call, they once again condensed into forms with the aid of the power of death.
Due to the reinforcement of the Death Force Field, besides their color, these spirits¡¯ forms werepletely identical to the beasts alive, as if they had been truly resurrected again.
GRRR1
After being summoned, these beasts all roared to the sky, and then all rushed towards the Icy Wind des. Although they crumbled upon contact, they rapidly regrouped and continued to harry the des.
Those Icy Wind des flying all over the sky were just not able to get close to Alpha at all.
However, Alpha remained vignt, the Fire of Soul firmly focused on the North Wind Wild Eagle across from it, and suddenly swung out its sword at the emptiness beside it.
CLINK!
A crisp sound rang out, and the wind barrier shattered to reveal a sharp w. The owner of this w was a burly man with the head of an eagle and the body of a human.
¡°Transformation?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang in surprise, but Luo Xiang shook his head and said, ¡°Only legendary creatures can transform. This is just another form of the North Eagle.¡±
¡°To be precise, this is the battle form of the North Eagle.¡±
After all this, you¡¯re only getting serious now?
Bai Qi smacked his lips, while President Qin, by his side, wore a look of surprise.
As a genius Beast Master with a mythical species on his team, Luo Xiang¡¯s strength was somewhat known to him. From what he knew, among the Six Stage Beast Trainers, only a handful could force Luo Xiang into this form.
Was the Power of Death really that horrifying?
Glimpsing at the North Eagle ¨C Giant-Eagle form, which had once again dispersed into the wild wind, Alpha directed his attention to the bird-man before him. The spirits of death, which were originally wandering outside, all returned to the Sword of Death, but they didn¡¯t hide as usual. Instead, they wrapped around the sword like mes.
On the other side, the North Eagle was clearly preparing for a decisive blow. The power of the Eternal Winter gradually converged on its ws, causing one¡¯s thoughts to halt with just a nce.
Almost simultaneously, the North Eagle wed at Alpha, who also thrust out his sword. As the w and sword shed, a terrifying wave spread out, shaking off the ice clinging to the Space Barrier and even causing ripples to appear on the barrier itself.
This wasn¡¯t like the previous Sixth Stage strength. This was enough to support the regr training of legendary creatures.
However, their battle wasn¡¯t over. A series of shes followed, shaking the battlefield with waves of energy.
But Alpha was clearly aware of the disadvantages of a protracted battle. Suddenly he drew his sword and a sword qi flew out from the Sword of Death, striking the Eternal Winter w of the North Eagle first.
Woo woo woo¡
Apanied by howls of the souls of the departed, the Death Sword Qi deeply pierced into the Eternal Winter w. A stream of light blue blood trickled from the w of the North Eagle. Although it quickly froze and the wound was mended, the North Eagle was indeed hurt by Alpha.
Seeing this, the North Eagle clenched its fist, and the Death Sword Qi exploded into a vortex of the Power of Death that scattered in the wind.
But before the North Eagle could counter-attack, the Sword of Death had already pierced into its wound. Ice-blue blood spurted out and was corroded into ck by the Power of Death before being absorbed back into the Sword of Death.
Hurt directly by the Sword of Death, the North Eagle suddenly felt it losing control of its arm. Its eyes sharply turned fierce, and an aura that seemed alien to this world emanated from its body.
Noticing something was off, Alpha instinctively pulled away from the North Eagle. But just as the North Eagle was about to pursue him, it paused and reverted to its Giant-Eagle form.
Luo Xang promptly recalled the North Eagle and walked up to Bai Qi, remarking, ¡°Ah ah¡ the young ones these days are so formidable, they can even fight across two stages.¡±
¡°Instructor Luo, are you sure you¡¯re not afraid of getting struck by lightning? The North Eagle at best used the power of the Fifth Stage. And just now, it used the special abilities of a mythical species, right?¡±
Bai Qi spoke bluntly, exposing Luo Xiang¡¯s poor acting. Luo Xiangughed and swiftly changed the topic, ¡°Never mind that, have you thought of a new evolution form for your pet?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Hmm, Alpha was able to evolve sessfully with the use of the Power of Death. It will be named Death Sword Monarch.¡±
¡°Hmm, it¡¯s very apt.¡±
Luo Xiang nced at Alpha who had returned to stand behind Bai Qi, pondered for a moment, and said, ¡°President Qin, for the bloodline level, let¡¯sbel it as a low-grade King.¡±
President Qin nodded, a look of understanding shing across his face.
Being able to fight the North Eagle to this extent, even being a high-grade King would suffice, but as the saying goes, the shot hits the bird that sticks its head out, so it¡¯s better to keep a low profile.
Luo Xiang stretchedzily and said to Bai Qi, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve had enough fun for today. Let¡¯s stop here.¡±
¡°Huh? That¡¯s it?¡±
Bai Qi sounded somewhat disappointed. He had hoped for Luo Xiang to test Delta¡¯sbat powers. After all, both of Delta¡¯s skills hadn¡¯t gone through a proper fight since it evolved.
¡°I have some matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll be away for a few days. Bai Qi, you mustn¡¯t run around during these few days. Wait for my return and I¡¯ll take you somewhere.¡±
¡°So soon?¡±
Before Bai Qi could ask, President Qin frowned and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that ce a bit too challenging for a Four Stage Beast Master?¡±
Luo Xiang puckered his lips upon hearing this and said, ¡°President, are you sure you can consider thisd a Four Stage Beast Master? I suspect he might advance to the Fifth Stage tomorrow.¡±
¡°Hmm¡ alright then.¡±
President Qin pondered for a moment, turned to Bai Qi, and said, ¡°You arrange your affairs with the Institutes on both sides in the next few days. This time you might have to be away for a quite long time.¡±
¡°Um, can I ask where we¡¯re going?¡±
Seeing both superiors were so solemn, Bai Qi felt a natural resistance.
Recently his research had been advancing at an elerated pace, so running around at this time didn¡¯t benefit him in anyway.
Plus, judging by the behavior of the two, he had an inkling that their destination could be quite dangerous.
Chapter 300: 296: Infinite Starting from the
Chapter 300: Chapter 296: Infinite Starting from the
Dream-Stealing Space
Seeing Bai Qi in this state, Luo Xiang couldn¡¯t help butugh, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, BaiChuanqi is also there, it won¡¯t be dangerous.¡±
The teacher is there too?
Why does it feel more dangerous then?
Bai Qi looked at the two in confusion. He had heard from his teacher before that he was going to the Western Region, which must be what Luo Xiang was referring to.
If it was necessary for a Titled Legendary to take action personally, it couldn¡¯t be a simple ce.
¡°However, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t reveal your Holy Light Form of Gamma there. Otherwise, if the Bo Ge family gets wind of it, it¡¯s possible they would cause trouble for you.¡±
¡°The Bo Ge family? Is that their territory?¡±
Hearing Luo Xiang¡¯s words, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, leaving Luo Xiang baffled, but he still nodded, saying, ¡°Yes, and it¡¯s not just the Bo Ge family, almost all the ancient families like the Bo Ge are in the Western Region¡¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go!¡±
Before Luo Xiang finished speaking, Bai Qi made his decision.
He had been coveting the wings of the other two angels, and now had the chance to go straight into the enemy¡¯s headquarters, so how could he pass it up.
The skills obtained from mythical species resources are naturally superior to regr resources.
¡°That¡¯s fine; I¡¯lle to pick you upter.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi suddenly agreeing, Luo Xiang seemed to realize something, he said, ¡°Just as well, you cany low and avoid being watched all the time.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Although Yi Yu had arranged a false identity for him, there was no guarantee that there was no one probing around, so it would be better to go out for a bit and wait for the heat of Rune Mechanical Armour to cool down.
And judging from their expressions, the Western Region might be quite dangerous. It would be best for him to train the insects for a few days as well. Whether he could make a direct upgrade to the Fifth Stage contract or not, any increase inbat power would be beneficial.
After giving Bai Qi a few words of advice, Luo Xiang left, leaving only President Qin and Bai Qi on the battlefield.
President Qin looked at the damage left on the battlefield by the fight between Alpha and the North Eagle, he sighed and said, ¡°Your strength can indeed match that of a Fifth Stage Beast Master, but after all, you don¡¯t have abat-type talent. If you encounter a high-stage Beast Master, you will still be at a disadvantage, so be careful when you go there.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The influence of Beast Master Talent onbat was indeed substantial. The Heart of Evolution also counted as Bai Qi¡¯s talent, but its efficacy mainlyy in nonbat training, and it didn¡¯t offer much help in battle.
So, if he wanted to make up for this gap, he had to make enough preparations before the battle.
Bai Qi nced at the darkening sky outside and said, ¡°I understand, President, I¡¯ll leave first.¡±
¡°Go.¡±
President Qin nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll speak to the academy on your behalf, so you don¡¯t need to worry. You just need to prepare well in the next few days. Luo Xiang should be back in a few days.¡±
¡°Alright, thank you, President.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood and then summoned Delta to head to Cha¡¯s house.
He wasn¡¯t sure whether Cha would want to go to the Western Region as well since his teacher, Bai Heguang, was also there. He decided to ask her.
The Bai Family.
¡°Are you really going to the Western Region, Bai Qi?¡±
After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, Bai Qiucha was slightly stunned, she said ¡°Dad did mention something about the Western Region before, but since he told me to focus on training at home, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be going.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
At Bai Qiucha¡¯s words, Bai Qi grimaced. Bai Qiucha was definitely a good child who wouldn¡¯t dare defy if the teacher had spoken.
¡°By the way, do you know what the situation is in the Western Region?¡±
Bai Qiucha thought for a moment, ¡°It seems that a few secret realms have appeared. I¡¯m not sure what their levels are, but they must be significant if they could keep Dad there for so long.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. Given the serious manner of Luo Xiang and President Qin, it was unlikely that it was an ordinary secret realm.
A high-level secret realm might yield great gains.
¡°Then I¡¯ll start preparing too. We¡¯U chat againter.¡±
After finishing, Bai Qi didn¡¯t wait for Bai Qiucha to reply before he darted into the Secret Realm Base.
¡°That guy is always rushing around,¡± Bai Qiucha shrugged helplessly, then summoned the Thunder Rat and Bone Dragon to begin a new round of training.
¡°Thunder Rat, use Thunder Strike on the Bone Dragon! Bone Dragon, you¡ defend.¡±
The Secret Realm Base.
Today¡¯s battle benefitted Alpha and the other two pets enormously. Although Luo Xiang clearly wasn¡¯t serious, it was a rare opportunity for Bai Qi¡¯s pets to unleash their full power.
So after returning to the base, the Three Pets each went back to their territory to digest today¡¯s spoils.
Bloop bloop¡
(Master¡)
Watching the backs of the three pets walking away, a look of envy shed in Delta¡¯s eyes.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, from the looks of things, it won¡¯t be long before you can fight in the Western Region, so just wait,¡± Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head and added, ¡°Plus, I remember that the Jiuli Group is in the Western Region, too, right? You could go see your mom and dad and get your other three forms.¡±
It had been quite a while since the Heart of Evolution had upgraded to Survival of the Fittest, Bai Qi had made numerous attempts, but still hadn¡¯t found a form that could be stored persistently.
Perhaps, this Heart of Evolution could only store ancient species.
Plop plop.
(Delta knows.)
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Delta nodded in satisfaction and headed straight for the Biology Building.
Despite still being in the learning stage, Delta had indeed gained a lot from biology over these days,ing to a few entirely new insights regarding his own abilities.
Given the right opportunity, he was surely going to surprise his own Beast Master.
After seeing off the four pets, Bai Qi finally came to the bug grass and asked, ¡°How have you felt these past few days? Have you finished watching the horror movies I told you about?¡±
These days, although he was busy with his research work, he still managed to find some stuff for the buggrass to do.
Very simple, just watch horror movies.
The ability of the soul-eating bug was simple, that is, to devour the enemy¡¯s soul after parasitism, but it was challenging to seed if the enemy was on guard.
All the abilities of the Dream Vine came from the dreand, beautiful dreams can rx the enemy to get a better chance to attack, while nightmares are the main attack method of the Dream Vine.
Therefore, to enhance the dream attack power of the bug grass, Bai Qi specifically asked Schuck to find a bunch of horror movies for it to provide material.
Yet, when hearing Bai Qi¡¯s inquiry, the bug grass instinctively shrank its body, responding: ¡°Cough, cough¡ I indeed learned a lot, for a long time, I guess I should not have to watch again.¡±
¡°Oh? Then give me a try of what you find the most terrifying.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately became interested, gesturing to the bug grass to use himself as an example.
¡°This¡ perhaps not a good idea.¡±
The bug grass hesitated somewhat, seemingly unwilling. But it couldn¡¯t resist Bai Qi¡¯s repeated urging, and the colorful vines on its body shivered. Brilliant pollen immediately drifted into Bai Qi¡¯s nose and mouth, and he instantly fell into deep sleep.
¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t this still at the base?¡±
Bai Qi rubbed his eyes, looking at the surrounding scene that had not changed at all, he couldn¡¯t help but feel doubtful.
¡°Could it be that I slept so deeply that I forgot about my dream?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, intending to find the bug grass to find out what happened. Suddenly, he heard horrible screamsing from a corner of the base.
¡°Is this Alpha fighting others?¡±
Intensifying his doubts, Bai Qi quickly moved in the direction of the sounds, and soon saw his four pets huddled together, seemingly discussing something, all with an unusually identical expression.
Eerie, evil, terrifying¡
All sorts of negative descriptions could be applied to the pets, even Bai Qi, their owner, felt a touch of unease.
¡°This might be the world¡¯s only symbiotic species, if you leave me to study it, there will certainly be beneficial results.¡±
Plop plop.
(The fusion of the bug grass belongs to biology, better leave it to me to reveal it)
Wooo wooo.
(No no no, I¡¯m curious about the form of its consciousness, better wait until I¡¯ve studied its soul before handing it over to you guys.)
Snap snap.
(Maybe just cook it instead.)
Hearing the conversation of these four pets, Bai Qi suddenly understood who they were surrounding. Rushing forward for a closer look, if it¡¯s not the bug grass, who else could it be?
However, the four pets seemed to have not noticed Bai Qi¡¯s arrival, and were still repeating their previous conversation, while the bug grass was shivering and did not dare to open its eyes.
Bai Qi nced back and forth between the four pets and the bug grass a few times, and instantly understood. The corner of his eye twitched uncontrobly.
¡°I say, this wouldn¡¯t be the most terrifying nightmare you were talking about, would it¡¡±
The bug grass heard this and raised its head, but did not answer, just silently nodded its agreement with Bai Qi¡¯sment.
What on earth did this bunch of people do before to leave such a terrifying impression on the bug grass, even those gruesome horror movies could not suppress it?
Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, ¡°Nevermind, let¡¯s terminate this dreand. I will teach you how to construct a nightmare.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s statement, the bug grass was immediately relieved, dispelled the image of the four pets, straightened up and looked at Bai Qi.
¡°In fact, it¡¯s straightforward to craft a nightmare. You don¡¯t need to create arge world view. A small town or even a single house is enough.¡±
Bai Qi remembered those ssic horror movies from his previous life, and said, ¡°But regardless of what kind of environment that needs to be created, it all needs to revolve around a core.¡±
¡°Despair, helplessness ¡ a simple scare can¡¯t have a good effect, too much stimtion will only awaken the enemy earlier.¡±
¡°For instance, as soon as the enemy liberates themselves from one dreand, thinking that they have awakened, but in fact, they are just entering another dreand. This incessant ovey will make the enemy feel desperate. Only when they voluntarily give up struggling, can it be considered a qualified nightmare.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, the bug grass nodded repeatedly.
Being surrounded by several pets who could potentially cut him off at any time while being unable to escape, and thinking about having to stay here in the future, he did feel somewhat desperate.
Seeing that the bug grass had quickly understood his words, Bai Qi was also very satisfied, saying: ¡°Then next, you start linking to my consciousness. Bring into being all that I have thought of, and I will guide you one by one to perfect it.¡±
¡°Um, let¡¯s start with Inception¡¡±
Chapter 301: 297: Fifth Stage Beastmaster
Chapter 301: Chapter 297: Fifth Stage Beastmaster
¡°Phew, it¡¯s barely enough that I¡¯vee this far.¡±
Bai Qi opened his eyes and looked at the bug grass in front of him that was admiring him, ¡°However, the authenticity and depth of the dreams still need to be honed, keep working hard.¡±
¡°Rest assured, hero, I will do my best.¡±
The bug grass was beaming with confidence, nodding forcefully.
After several days of Bai Qi¡¯s unique training, bug grass had a brand new understanding of dream creation. Especially after seeing Bai Qj¡¯s bizarre dreamnds, it was astounded.
No wonder he could train four such powerful pets. The way his brain worked was way different from the human that bug grass had identally fused with. He truly is a hero!
Seeing bug grass in this state, Bai Qi was very satisfied.
Just as he initially expected, bug grass¡¯s dreands not only saved him a lot of time but also greatly increased his spirit power.
In contrast, the Phantom Spirit Potion seemed a bit inadequate.
¡°Damn, with such good results, why didn¡¯t anyone think to use it for good? They could create virtual reality games, as they say, grow through entertainment, isn¡¯t it enticing to enhance spirit power while ying games?¡± Feeling the spirit power filled within his soul, Bai smiled, then sat cross-legged on the spot, directing his spirit power towards the Evolution Egg.
After umting for over a month, and the eleration from bug grass¡¯s dreands these past few days, he could finally be a Fifth Stage Beastmaster.
Also sensing Bai Qi¡¯s changes, Alpha and the other four pets stopped their training and gathered around Bai Qi.
Crackle crackle!
(Is the boss finally leveling up?)
As the first pet in the team to reach the limit of the Fourth Stage, Alpha had been waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s progress. Now being able to continue to advance, it was naturally very pleased.
If it could upgrade to the Fifth Stage, should it be able to force out more strength from the North Eagle?
Awo?
(How does a human¡¯s spirit power increase so quickly? It¡¯s almost a thousandth of mine.)
¡°It¡¯s probably the effect of the Epsilon¡¯s Dreands. After all, the Dream-eating Vine could enhance Spirit Power. However, not many Beastmasters may be able to withstand this method.¡±
Schuck nced at the bug grass next to him. ording to the data released by the Federation, although the Phantom Spirit Potion could enhance a Beastmaster¡¯s Spirit Power, its side effects were not small.
Apart from being highly addictive, too many dreands would be a significant burden on a Beastmaster¡¯s body, especially the brain.
It was only because Bai Qi bought his Phantom Spirit Potion from the Association that he could use it like a sleeping pill as he did before. It would be impossible to do so on the open market.
Kapukapu?
(Is this harmful to the body? In that case, Gamma needs to learn cooking well to nourish the boss.)
Blupblup.
(From a biological perspective, it indeed is. But the boss¡¯s body is a lot stronger than an ordinary Beastmaster¡¯s, there should be no problem.)
While the four pets were discussing Bai Qi¡¯s situation, Bai Qi¡¯s consciousness had already descended into his consciousness space.
As Bai Qi¡¯s spirit power continued to pour in, the golden eggshell on the surface of the Evolution Egg gradually peeled off, little by little, and merged into the Crystal Wall of the Beast Control Space.
Looking at the increasingly dazzling Crystal Wall around him, Bai Qi could sense the strength of his own Beast Control Space Crystal Wall, even if he couldn¡¯t touch it.
ording to his teacher, after a Beast Master ascends to the Seventh Stage they all need to build their own Secret Realm Towers to connect the Beast Control Space to the Crystal Wall of the main world. The difficulty of this isn¡¯t to be understated, some fragile Beast Control Spaces might not withstand the rush of a Space Storm and would shatter directly.
Each time the Evolution Egg evolves, it strengthens his Beast Control Space. When he bes a legend, he shouldn¡¯t have to worry about these problems.
Soon, the golden eggshell around the Evolution Egg fell offpletely, covering the entire Beast Control Space with dazzling light instantly.
When the light dissipated, the vast Beast Control Space turned tinum, and in the middle of the Beast Control Space was a giant tinum egg.
¡°As expected¡¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, not surprised by the new look of the Evolution Egg.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (tinum 0%)
[Condition]: Activated
¡°Looking at this, it really feels like a King¡¯s Egg ising. However, the Beast Master levels seem to be insufficient.¡±
Bai Qi muttered a few words and came in front of the tinum Egg with his consciousness.
Compared to the Golden Egg, the pattern on the tinum Egg was even moreplicated, and it appeared to be sketching a specific design.
Perhaps, when he bes a legend, he will know the secret of the Evolution Egg-
¡°First, let me see what new abilities the Evolution Egg has gained.¡±
Bai Qi ced his hand on the Evolution Egg, and a piece of information instantly poured into his mind. After reading the content of the information, Bai Qi¡¯s mouth twitched into an involuntary smile.
¡°This ability, it¡¯s a perfect match with the Skill As.¡±
Bai Qi took his hand off the Evolution Egg, looking more and more satisfied with this Golden Finger that had held him back for several years.
Although he couldn¡¯t temporarily strengthen himself during battles, he could maximize his power before the fight.
He who prepared was never in danger, simply fitting the adage.
After confirming that there were no follow-up thoughts from the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi¡¯s consciousness left the Beast Control Space, returning to his body. ¡°Oh, everyone¡¯s here?¡±
Looking at the four pets sitting around him, Bai Qi gave a faint smile. He nced at the fifth Rune Mark appearing on the back of his left hand but didn¡¯t rush to form a contract with the Dream-eating Vine; instead, he took out the Green Dragon Scale from his chest and slowly concentrated his Spirit Power onto it.
[Material Name]: Green Dragon Scale
[Material Level]: Mythical Level
[Material Introduction]: A scale from the legendary Green Dragon can slowly absorb natural energy around it to replenish itself.
[Material Effect]: Can obtain: 1. Jade Power (Super Skill ¨C ?%), 2. Dragon Scales (High-level Skill ¨C ?%), 3. Nature Affinity (Talent ¨C ?%), 4. Dragon¡¯s Blood (Enhancement ¨C ?%)
Feeling the potential effects of the Green Dragon Scale in his mind, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.
If the Golden Egg¡¯s Skill As allowed him to no longer worry about upgrading skills, then this Material Aspletely freed him from the fate of betting blindly.
No matter what resources he obtained, as long as he checked the material¡¯s effects before use, he could generally guess the potential skills. This was a godsend for training his pets.
After all, with the continuous increase in his pets¡¯ strengths, he could no longer casually use materials like before. Thepatibility of the materials and the likelihood of acquiring skills were things carefully considered.
¡°But what is this question mark before the percentage?¡±
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, cing the Green Dragon Scale in Alpha¡¯s hand. The information disyed by the Material As changed drastically.
[Material Effect]: Can obtain: 1. Jade Power (Super Skill ¨C 11%), 2. Dragon Scales (High-level Skill ¨C 47%), 3. Nature Affinity (Talent ¨C 8%), 4. Dragon¡¯s Blood (Enhancement ¨C ?34%)
So, do different pets have corresponding probability rates? That makes sense. If the same material is used on different attribute pets, and the probability remains the same, that would actually be a problem.
Bai Qi handed the Green Dragon Scale to the other pets one by one. The results were basically the same as what he had guessed.
The Husky had roughly the same probability for these four effects since it didn¡¯t have too much attribute bias.
Gamma, on the other hand, had a high affinity for Nature Affinity with little else.
As for Delta, it was 100% Dragon¡¯s Blood. The only note was that the effect couldn¡¯t be maintained for long.
¡°So, it¡¯s just you left.¡±
Bai Qi handed the Green Dragon Scale to the Dream-eating Vine. Seeing the numbers made his eyes light up immediately.
[Material Name]: Green Dragon Scale
[Material Level]: Mythical Level
[Material Introduction]: A scale from the legendary Green Dragon, it can slowly absorb natural energy around it to replenish itself.
[Material Effect]: Can obtain: 1. Jade Power (Super Skill ¨C 76%), 2. Dragon Scales (High-level Skill ¨C 6%), 3. Nature Affinity (Talent ¨C 18%), 4. Dragon¡¯s Blood (Enhancement -100%)
[Remark]: Use Object ¨C Dream-eating Vine, the level is too low, absorption effect significantly reduced.
Unlike the other four pets, the probability of obtaining Dragon¡¯s Blood was calcted separately from the other skills. This meant that as long as the Green Dragon Scale was used on the Dream-eating Vine, the Dragon¡¯s Blood enhancement was assured.
¡°Nichs seemed to have mentioned that the Green Dragon uses the Power of Nature. Since Epsilon is half nt Attribute, is this an extra bonus?¡±
Bai Qi stroked his chin, guessing the reason behind it, then noticed the additional remark.
¡°As I thought, too low a level would impact the absorption effect. It was right not to let Delta absorb the Space Crystal Stone yet.¡±
This remark didn¡¯t surprise Bai Qi. The higher the level of the pet, the greater the efficiency of resource absorption, this made perfect sense.
¡°Great, that resolves Epsilon¡¯s basic benefits.¡±
Bai Qi chuckled and put the Green Dragon Scale away. Then, with a serious expression, he said, ¡°I now have an extra contract slot. I¡¯ll ask you onest time, do you want to be my pet?¡±
¡°Honored to be chosen, of course, I am willing.¡±
Looking at Bai Qi¡¯s sincere expression, the Dream-eating Vine nodded repeatedly, to the point where even afterimages could be seen.
He had already chosen a name for him, enjoyed the benefits, and had the four pets watching menacingly nearby. Dare he say no?
The Dream-eating Vine was certain that if he dared to utter a word of refusal, he would probably be caught, sliced up, and turned into soup.
¡°Very well, rx your mind and don¡¯t resist the contract.¡±
Upon hearing the words, Bai Qi nodded, activating the Rune Mark on the back of his hand. A purple Array wrapped around the Dream-eating Vine, one above and one below, transporting it into the Beast Control Space.
At the same time, Bai Qi felt warmth in his body and soul. His Spirit Power and physical body were once again strengthened.
Contract, aplished!
Chapter 302: 298: Xia Xuan Comes to the Door
Chapter 302: Chapter 298: Xia Xuan Comes to the Door
Looking at the fully formed Rune Mark on the back of his hand, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, the worm grass was summoned once more.
¡°Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, your little brother pays his respects.¡±
The moment worm grass appeared, it readily confirmed its ce as the
youngest in the team.
Aooo Aooo!
(So sensible, this master will take care of you from now on!)
Beta seemed quite pleased with worm grass¡¯s address, despite having some doubts about the order. Nevertheless, it could only remain a thought.
He didn¡¯t think that having two super skills would allow him topete with
Alpha, the freak.
Clicking sounds.
(We¡¯re all master¡¯s pets, no need for such formalities.)
Alpha acknowledged the worm grass with a nod, which quietly relieved thetter.
If there was anyone in the team that it feared the most, it had to be Alpha ¨C a specter of death itself.
The Power of Death stands quite menacing to nts, exceedingly more than
average.
Pop Pop?
(Gamma is the third brother, Gamma is so happy.)
The simplest in mind, Gamma seemed surprised by worm grass¡¯s designation.
Unable to contain its excitement, it pranced about erratically while Delta walked over to worm grass and weed it with a nuzzle.
Blub blub.
(Now that we¡¯re all together, let¡¯s do our best.)
Worm grass was overwhelmed by the other four pets¡¯ reception, aying its uneasiness.
If you can¡¯t beat them, join them ¨C truly words to live by.
Clicking sounds.
(However, Epsilon, you¡¯re a bit weak. I¡¯ll give you special trainingter.)
¡°No, let¡¯s first understand the unique conditions involved in worm grass¡¯s fusion. It might be helpful for the Meeh Beast fusionter.
Aooo Aooo!
(No way, should I strategize with Epsilon about methods of using Spirit Power?
I remember, this is called mind melding?)
Pop Pop.
(Then Gamma would also like to ask Epsilon for some vine tendrils, Gamma is currently learning a new recipe that glows and needs a Dream Vine Flower
Powder for seasoning.)
Blub blub.
(Um, after you¡¯re done, Delta would like to give Epsilon a full-body checkup.
After all, worm grass fusion is quite rare.)
Worm grass:¡±¡¡±
Suddenly it felt like joining wasn¡¯t of much use, maybe escaping was the better
option.
¡°Good, seeing you all get along so well gives me peace of mind.¡±
Seeing the harmonious decorum amongst the five, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Ignoring the desperate look worm grass was giving, he left the
Secret Realm Base.
ording to Luo Xiang, in a few days, he would be escorting him to the
Western Region. To avoid missing it again, it would be better to wait outside a bit earlier.
The Bai family.
The butler, carrying a tray, entered the living room, serving a cup of tea to Bai Qiucha and Xia Xuan respectively. He bowed and said, ¡°Master Bai, Young Master Xia, please wait a moment, the refreshments will be ready soon.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
Xia Xuan took the teacup with both hands,cking any signs of arrogance. Bai Qiucha on the other hand responded with a light smile, ¡°Xia senior, you don¡¯t need to be formal. Our house doesn¡¯t have so many rules.¡±
Visiting a legendary family and you tell me to not be formal?
Xia Xuan quietlymented in his mind, yet his face donned a full smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry foring uninvited.¡±
Bai Qiuchaughed, ¡°Senior Xia, you came to see Bai Qi, right? He¡¯s been in the secret realmtely but he should be out today. If you¡¯re not in a hurry, please wait at our house.¡±
¡°Bai Qi is in the secret realm? Then, I wille again next time.
Hearing Bai Qi wasn¡¯t present, Xia Xuan felt a burden lifted. Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in the living room. Xia Xuan didn¡¯t manage to avoid it in time and almost collided into it.
¡°Whoa, someone¡¯s trying to ambush me?¡±
Just as Bai Qi stepped out of the Secret Realm Base, a figure hurtled towards him. He was slightly taken aback.
Are paparazzi now bold enough to barge into legendary families¡¯ homes? Is there a need to be so wild?
Despite his internal ranting, the newly promoted Fifth Stage Bai Qi, drawing on his superior reaction speed and physical capabilities, managed to dodge skillfully.
Only when Bai Qi created some distance did he recognize the ¡°paparazzo.¡±
¡°Xia Xuan? What are you doing here?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the oddly behaving Xia Xuan, ¡°Did youe here to challenge
Cha?¡±
¡°Senior Xia came to see you, it has nothing to do with me.
Bai Qiucha shrugged his shoulders, ¡°We were just guessing when you¡¯de
out and now, that you¡¯re here, you two can chat.¡±
¡°Looking for me?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Xia Xuan with a confused gaze while Xia Xuan exhaled deeply, saying, ¡°It wasn¡¯t my idea toe looking for you. My father said you hadn¡¯t gone to receive the Meeh Martial Research Room, so he asked me toe and remind you about it.¡±
¡°Meeh Martial Research Room?¡±
Bai Qi woke up like from a dream, almost forgetting about the Meeh Martial Research Room that the Xia¡¯s Group had granted to him. He was so busy with the worm grass matter these past few days that he forgot about it.
¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve been kind of busytely and forgot.¡±
Bai Qi felt embarrassed, scratching his head, ¡°It happens that I¡¯m free now, why don¡¯t we go together?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Xia Xuan nodded, casting a profound gaze at Bai Qi. Just as he was about to say something, he was distracted by the sudden exmation from Bai Qiucha beside him.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re a Fifth Stage Beast Master now?
Fifth Stage? Bai Qi?!
Xia Xuan¡¯s heart jolted, quickly turning to Bai Qi¡¯s left hand. Sure enough, he saw five intricate Rune Marks on it, bringing him an intricate feeling.
Just a short while ago, both of them were at the second level, and not long after he ascended to the third stage, Bai Qi had already be a Fifth Stage Beast
Master?
Was this guy even human?
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve almost been at the fourth stage for a month, and I¡¯ve been pushing hard these few days, so I upgraded.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, with the power of the Evolution Egg increasing his physical abilities rapidly and the Dreand Worm Grass boosting his Spirit Power, he had also found a method to fast-track his climb.
¡°You really are¡¡±
Bai Qiucha sighed in resignation after hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, being the youngest Four Stage Beast Master was one thing, but it was nothingpared to Bai Qi, whose advancements were rapid like a rocket.
He vaguely remembered, Bai Qi awakened his talent about half a year ago, right?
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Xia Xuan, is your family¡¯s research institute far from here? I might need to travel at any time, so maybe we should leave early?¡±
You were the one who forgot about this stuff, weren¡¯t you? It almost sounds like he¡¯s the one who forgot to remind you.
Xia Xuan was taken aback, his eyes deeply locked onto the five Rune Marks on Bai Qi¡¯s hand as the idea of challenging Bai Qi waspletely obliterated from his mind.
A third Stage Beast Master challenging a Fifth Stage Beast Master? Unless he is crazy.
¡°Come with me. The research institute is quite a distance from here, so¡
Before Xia Xuan could finish, he saw a massive Ancestral Beast summoned by Bai Qi, who had scooped it up in one swift motion. They elerated towards the side, vanishing into thin air, eventually materializing in the sky.
¡°Give me a rough location, and we¡¯ll make it quick.
Bai Qi pulled Xia Xuan onto the back of the Wind God Winged Dragon, disappeared from his original position as soon as he got a location from Xia
Xuan.
Seeing the Wind God Winged Dragon keep on crossing the Void, Xia Xuan suddenly felt somewhatforted.
A Space Department beast, had Bai Qi finally stopped bonding with those weird beasts?
Just a few short minutester, Delta arrived at the entrance of a modern-looking building where the words ¡°Xia¡¯s Group Affiliated ** Research Room¡± were clearly written on the building.
¡°Is this the ¡®Small Research Room¡¯ your dad mentioned?¡±
Bai Qi stared nkly at the building that was more than capable of serving as a corporation. He couldn¡¯t help but be amazed.
¡°Yes, this research facility is indeed the smallest one under the Xia¡¯s Group, but the equipment is thetest and greatest. The only deficiency is that it only has two assembly lines.¡±
Thetestplete set of equipment? And two assembly lines?
And he just gave it away?
It¡¯s really nice to be rich!
Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, gathered his thoughts, and followed Xia Xuan into the research facility.
¡°Young Master Xia, you¡¯re here.¡±
As soon as she saw Xia Xuan, a middle-aged man in a white research outfit stepped forward to greet him; he only paused for a moment when he noticed Bai Qi beside him. Quickly catching on, he said, ¡°Wee Leader Bai to our inspection.¡±
¡°You know me?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the middle-aged man with curiosity. He couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and said, ¡°Leader Bai, you¡¯re the owner of four core patents. Plus, Mr. Xia has already asked us to follow you, so how could we not recognize you?¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Bai Qi nodded at the man¡¯s exnation, stopped talking, and began touring the facility with the middle-aged man.
The research institute had five floors, each of the top four responsible for design, assembly, practice, and integration, whereas the underground floor housed two manufacturing lines.
As the man had said, all of the equipment in the facility was state-of-the-art, and should have been well beyond Bai Qi¡¯s reach as a mere beast master. Now he was being handed top-tier equipment as aplete set.
¡°Leader Bai, our institute may be small, but everyone here is an elite. Plus, they have all thoroughly studied your Rune Mechanical Theory, so if Leader Bai has anything needing research, we are here to help.¡±
Once the middle-aged man had shown Bai Qi around, he assured him, saying, ¡°Leader Bai, rest assured, we have all signed non-disclosure agreements, and none of the specifics of the projects will be revealed.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. He had no doubt about the man¡¯s words. As a qualified mech martial artist, he often helped different mechanical engineers with designs, and no one wanted a mech martial artist who would leak those ns.
However, not leaking any specifics did not mean that they couldn¡¯t leak the research objective.
Bai Qi nced around and saw the multitude of mech martial artists who had followed him around. He said, ¡°Sorry, but I prefer to work alone, so you all needn¡¯t stay here.¡±
¡°Xia Xuan, these mech martial artists were originally from your group, right? You¡¯ll have to arrange for new jobs for them.¡±
Xia Xuan was taken aback upon hearing Bai Qi. He exchanged a nce with the middle-aged man and asked, ¡°This research institute is quite big; you¡¯re sure you can manage it all by yourself?¡±
¡°Myself? Who said I¡¯m alone?¡±
Bai Qi looked at Xia Xuan strangely, summoning Husky. Seeing all the splendid equipment, Schuck was immediately intrigued and grabbed the Secret Realm Ring from Bai Qi, proceeding to store each piece of equipment in the Secret Realm Base one by one.
¡°Don¡¯t I also have a Mechanical beast?¡±
Chapter 303: 299: Jiuding System
Chapter 303: Chapter 299: Jiuding System
Xia Xuan and the middle-aged man were bbergasted as they watched Schuck skillfully emptying the entire research institute of its instruments and production line. Especially when they saw that not even the materials they had prepared in advance were spared, their eye corners twitched.
He¡¯s so proficient. Was this dog really not a bandit before?
¡°Ahem¡ Leader Bai, these instruments areplicated to operate. Not even bio-machines from the Mechanical Engineering Department can necessarily handle them. Are you sure you don¡¯t need our help?¡±
Looking at the emptied research institute before him, the middle-aged man couldn¡¯t help but voice his question.
¡°Hmm? I¡¯m just here to take over the research institute. I¡¯m not responsible for you, remember to ask Xia Xuan for your sries.¡±
Seeing the tenacious middle-aged man, Bai Qi immediately became cautious.
¡°Leader Bai, you¡¯ve misunderstood. We¡¯re not after sries, we purely want to help.¡±
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. They were the elite Machine Armament researchers under Xia¡¯s Group. They were assigned here to grasp Bai Qi¡¯stest research developments.
Of course, if they couldprehend Bai Qi¡¯s thinking process and develop their own techniques for Xia¡¯s Group, that would be the best.
¡°No need, I don¡¯t need help.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head decisively. He didn¡¯t fancy the atmosphere of the research institute. If he really needed people, he would just ask Professor Chu for some, instead of going through all of this trouble.
Moreover, speaking of ¡°manpower¡±, they might not even fall short.
Soon, Schuck, who had checked through everything and confirmed nothing was overlooked, finally returned to Bai Qi¡¯s side, handed over the Secret Realm Ring, and hurried back to the base.
¡°Xia Xuan, thanks, I have other things to handle, so I won¡¯t be seeing you home.¡±
Bai Qi waved at Xia Xuan and said, ¡°As for this building, I don¡¯t need it. I¡¯m giving it back to you as a return gift.¡±
After that, Bai Qi mounted the Wind God Winged Dragon without looking back and headed straight for his home.
I should be thankful¡
Xia Xuan¡¯s eye corner twitched as he observed the research institute that had beenpletely gutted. He took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to assault Bai Qi.
Stay calm. You can¡¯t beat him now. Wait until he¡¯s stuck with his upgrades, then you can catch up and fight back.
Yes, that¡¯s it.
¡°Young Master Xuan, should we report this to Director Xia?¡±
The middle-aged man approached Xia Xuan and asked softly.
¡°No need. Dad predicted Bai Qi would do this. Let him be.¡±
Xia Xuan shook his head and said, ¡°By the way, has the inventor of the Rune Mechanical Armor been found? Is it Bai Qi?¡±
The middle-aged man said, ¡°Even though the technique is a bit simr to the Spirit-Control Orb, my investigation suggests it was a Machine Armament Master named Mo Zhu, originally part of the Federation Research Institute, but now transferred to the Rune Mechanical Armour research team.¡±
¡°Mo Zhu? It sounds like an alias of Bai Qi¡¡±
A strong intuition told Xia Xuan that Mo Zhu and Bai Qi were definitely rted, but the middle-aged man shook his head, saying, ¡°I researched it specifically. Mo Zhu and Bai Qi are two different people. Mo Zhu hadn¡¯t done anything significant. He was only inspired by Bai Qi¡¯s Rune Mechanical Theory, and that¡¯s why he gained attention.¡±
¡°Oh, I see¡¡±
Xia Xuan noted as he heard. Ever since Bai Qi¡¯s Rune Mechanical Theory was released, many previously obscured talents emerged in the Federation and the Rune Mechanics slowly started to form. It was fairly normal that Mo Zhu could research Rune Mechanical Armor.
¡°You continue to connect with Mo Zhu and see if you can dig him over to Xia¡¯s Group. Yes¡ preferably to the research institute under my name. Rune Mechanical Armor, as a weapon of war, must be produced by Xia¡¯s Group!¡±
Xia Xuan¡¯s eyes shed, and the middle-aged man beside him merely lowered his head, showing not the slightest disagreement.
Secret Realm Base.
As soon as Bai Qi returned home, he hurriedly entered the Secret Realm Base and found Schuck, who was setting up the instruments, asking, ¡°How are you doing? With so many instruments, do you have enough Spirit Awakening?¡±
¡°Not enough of course.¡±
Schuck shook his head, saying, ¡°But there¡¯s no need to awaken them all. Just need to awaken a few of the control centers.¡±
As he spoke, Schuck connected the circuits in front of him and then moved to arge supeputer.
Jiuding, the supeputer developed solely by Xia¡¯s Group, had top-grade attributes among Federation¡¯s supeputers. Theoretically, one Jiuding could support the entireputational requirements of arge research institute.
ording to the information Schuck acquired, apart from this Jiuding, Xai Yi had actually supplied the whole set of nine subsystems.
¡°Those rich people are generous indeed¡¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips. To some degree, the value of thisplete Jiuding supeputer system had exceeded the total of all other instruments and the two production lines.
After linking the power, Schuck¡¯s body burned with the mes of machine life, which spread to Jiuding along a few mechanical arms. As Schuck increased his output intensity, the mes of machine life rapidly enveloped Jiudingpletely.
¡°Be careful. Even money can¡¯t buy this.¡±
Thinking of the fate of Schuck¡¯s previous failures, Bai Qi looked worried.
¡°Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Schuck nced at Bai Qi before focusing on awakening Jiuding, while Bai Qi obediently squatted on one side, quietly waiting for Schuck¡¯s awakening to end.
Awo?
(Human, haven¡¯t you got your role wrong? Why do I feel like we¡¯ve swapped ces?)
Beta looked at Bai Qi in confusion, but was quickly attracted by the changes in Jiuding.
In his spiritual view, a naive soul slowly appeared in Jiuding, which had been just a cold machine, but soon it grew and spread to the entire Jiuding under the nourishment of Schuck¡¯s mes.
¡°Phew, it¡¯s finally sessful.¡±
Schuck was a bit nervous initiating such arge machine for the first time, and he exhaled quietly as if he were a living creature.
¡°It was sessful?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes brightened, curiously examining the Jiuding in front of him.
¡°Father.¡±
A young man¡¯s voice came from Jiuding, but his title made Bai Qi slightly bewildered.
¡°The soul I gave him is mine, so it¡¯s not wrong for him to call me father.¡±
Schuck nodded and said, ¡°Moreover, it seems I can control his life and death, and even arbitrarily seize his control?¡±
¡°It can be like that?¡±
Bai Qi was slightly stunned upon hearing this. If the activated objects could bepletely controlled by the activator, wouldn¡¯t that mean all the mechanics in the federation were¡?
It seemed like he¡¯d uncovered some kind of insider¡¯s secret¡
Bai Qi smacked his lips, deciding not to dwell on the matter.
¡°Beast Master, why don¡¯t you name him?¡±
Schuck had beenmunicating with Jiuding for a while when he suddenly looked at Bai Qi.
¡°Naming him?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head. As someone who struggled with naming, this was a difficult task for him indeed.
¡°Jiuding Brain¡ Then, you¡¯ll be called Yu.¡±
¡°Yu? I like this name, thank you grandpa!¡±
¡°Pff¡¡±
Hearing how Jiuding referred to him, Bai Qi was nonplussed. He wasn¡¯t sure how that rtionship had been calcted.
¡°Nevermind, grandpa will do. Perhaps, if I get kidnapped someday, I maybe rescued.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips again and then activated Jiuding¡¯s nine sub systems, one by one, with Schuck.
And, Bai Qi also chose names for these nine subsystems.
Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, Yong.
Since Yu was in the picture, naming them after the nine provinces in ancient times wasn¡¯t too far-fetched.
¡°I¡¯m reaching my limit. If I want to continue awakening, I¡¯ll have to wait until my mechanic fire origin gets stronger.¡±
Having consecutively activated ten machines, including therge-scale brain named Yu, Schuck was noticeably weary.
¡°Hmm, there¡¯s no rush, let¡¯s take a break.¡±
Bai Qi patted Schuck¡¯s head and then put him back into the Evolution Egg.
The mechanic fire origin was now essentially Schuck¡¯s core. Any damage incurred during activation would be more harmful than beneficial.
With the activation of Yu and Jiuding, various facilities of the Secret Realm Base were connected one by one, under the unified management of the Jiuding System. Various research projects that Schuck had temporarily put aside were also restarted.
This was why Schuck gave up conscious battle machines and choserge-scale brains like the Jiuding System.
¡°However, this makes the secret realm seem increasingly inadequate.¡±
Bai Qi watched as the Six Sword Servants started expanding the base again and began to feel a headacheing on.
¡°It seems like we¡¯ll have to find arger secret realm.¡±
After ncing at the increasingly scarce empty space in the secret realm, Bai Qi added this task to his to-do list and left the secret realm.
Knock, knock, knock¡
Bai Qi, who was already prepared, put away his smart brain, opened the door, and looked at the dusty Luo Xiang, saying, ¡°Instructor Luo, would you like to rest for a while?¡±
¡°No need, we can head out directly.¡±
Luo Xiang shook his head, his eyes scanning the five Rune Marks on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s hand, expressing a hint of surprise.
¡°You¡¯ve reached the fifth stage?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°I upgraded a few days ago, but I haven¡¯t had time to tell the president yet.¡±
¡°Not bad, as a Fifth Stage Beast Master, you should be able to gain more from this secret realm expedition.¡±
Luo Xiang smiled, saying, ¡°Maybe it¡¯ll surprise everyone.¡±
Hearing Luo Xiang mention the secret realm, Bai Qi also became interested and asked, ¡°Instructor Luo, can you tell me what the situation is with the secret realm this time?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no rush, we can talk about it on the way.¡±
Luo Xiang waved his hand, gesturing for Bai Qi to climb onto the back of the North Eagle, and said, ¡°You should have contracted your fifth beast by now, right? Quickly summon it for me to see.¡±
¡°Uh¡ Isn¡¯t there a rush for that? Instructor Luo, shouldn¡¯t you first tell me about the ce we are going? I remember you said it was very dangerous¡¡±
Looking at the curious Luo Xiang, Bai Qi somehow became worried about the impending journey.
This seems really unreliable¡
Chapter 304: 300: Blind by Affection
Chapter 304: Chapter 300: Blind by Affection
Federation West.
Chong Peng City.
The Jiuli Group.
¡°Apologies, Instructor Luo, for draggingyou all the way to Chong Peng City.¡± Bai Qi looked sheepishly at Luo Xiang. They were initially nning to head straight for Nile City, the destination for this mission, but when he asked en route about the distance between Nile City and Chong Peng City, Luo Xiang altered their course to Chong Peng City straight away.
¡°Not much of a detour, I have a friend I need to look up. He might be heading towards Nile City too, so we might just share the road.¡±
Luo Xiang smiled, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead then. I¡¯ll look for youter.¡±
With that, Luo Xiang rode away on his North Eagle, disappearing into the sky.
¡°He really does just up and leave, huh.¡±
Bai Qi watched Luo Xiang go, then noticed Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, each d in research attire, emerging from the main entrance of the Jiuli Group.
¡°Oh my sweet boy, what brings you here?¡±
Clearly delighted by Bai Qi¡¯s arrival, Luo Zhu gave him a hug before he could even say anything.
¡°You look a little haggard, son. Your dad didn¡¯t make you read too much of his research, did he? I told him basic would do, but he insisted on going with the whole set.¡±
Luo Zhu shot Bai Yan a reproachful nce, to which Bai Yan just responded with a look of innocence.
It was Luo Zhu who had firstined about theck of material, forcing him to tack on an entire suite of biology data. And now¡
He decided to let it go. He¡¯d take the me!
¡°Haggard? I shouldn¡¯t be.¡±
Seeing Luo Zhu¡¯s concerned expression, Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion.
After advancing to the Fifth Stage, both his physical and mental states had greatly improved. Especially so after forming a pact with the Worm Grass, a Beast which skewed towards the mental side, which made him even more energetic. Even staying awake for days on end wouldn¡¯ t cause him to look worn out.
Could it be that this was what counted as looking haggard to a mother?
¡°Alright, we shouldn¡¯t be talking here. Let¡¯s move inside thepany.¡±
Bai Yan nced at the curious crowd gathering around them, then led Bai Qi and Luo Zhu into the Jiuli Groupplex.
Being one of the Federation¡¯s oldest corporations, the Jiuli Group¡¯s interior was decorated with some touch of antiquity, though not quite like the Wuhou Corporation. The overall style leaned more toward a rugged look.
Bai Qi curiously looked around him, following Bai Yan to a rtively unupied elevator.
¡°This area is for core staff only. Outsiders aren¡¯t allowed. Please wait for a moment while I register.¡±
Bai Yan turned on the screen before the elevator and startedmunicating with the facility¡¯s operators. Luo Zhu looked a little apologetic as she exined, ¡°Our research is still ongoing, so we¡¯re not allowed to leave the Jiuli Group¡¯s controlled area, or we would¡¯ve chosen a better ce for a chat.¡±
¡°No problem, I¡¯m on my way to a mission and just thought I¡¯d swing by here. I¡¯ll have to leave shortly.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and rified.
¡°Amission?¡±
Luo Zhu looked surprised, then noticed the five Rune Marks on the back of Bai Qi¡¯s hand and cried out.
¡°Son, you¡¯ve reached the Fifth Stage?¡±
¡°The Fifth Stage?¡±
Luo Zhu¡¯s words interrupted Bai Yan¡¯s operation. After confirming what Luo Zhu had said, there was a glint of pride in Bai Yan¡¯s eyes.
Initially, they thought their son would end up following the research path, assuming he didn¡¯t inherit any Beast Mastery Talent. But now, he¡¯d already be a Fifth Stage Beast Master.
¡°Alright, we¡¯re authorized. Let¡¯s go up.¡±
Bai Yan closed the screen and was the first to enter the elevator. Bai Qi and Luo Zhu followed suit, and the three of them quickly reached the upper floors of the Jiuli Group.
The elevator doors opened to reveal various biological instruments, both in variety and quantity, far surpassing those Bai Qi had. However, despite the voluminous research space, there wasn¡¯t a single researcher to be seen.
¡°This floor is our private researchb, it¡¯s just the two of us here. You can rest while you¡¯re here, son.¡±
Perhaps sensing Bai Qi¡¯s confusion, Luo Zhu quickly exined. Bai Qi once again realized how respected his parents were at the Jiuli Group.
Having an entire floor as a researchb ¨C wow, just wow.
Bai Qi followed them into a spacious lounge where Luo Zhu started asking about his current situation.
¡°Son, you were saying something about going out on a mission? Isn¡¯t it dangerous for you to be travelling around on your own?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°I¡¯m not alone. Instructor Luo is with me. It¡¯s likely that my teacher would be in Nile City too.¡±
¡°Oh, Bai Chuanqi will be there too. That¡¯s a relief.¡±
Luo Zhu eased up upon hearing this. Meanwhile, Bai Yan seemed to have realized something, ¡°Bai Chuanqi himself is going too? This mission must be pretty difficult, isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure. Apparently, it has something to do with an Inheritance Secret Realm of mythical creatures. I guess we¡¯ll find out once we get there.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged indifferently, then changed the subject, ¡°By the way, Mom and Dad, how¡¯s your Ancient Species revival projecting along?¡±
¡°We managed to cultivate an initial embryo, but whether it can seed in developing is still uncertain.¡±
Bai Yan shook his head, then returned the question, ¡°What about you? Can you use those devices?¡±
¡°Erm¡ I guess I can.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, naturally, there was no problem with how he operated the instrument, but usually, those who operated it were Delta, he had basically be their assistant.
¡°That¡¯s fine, once the first batch of embryos is sessfully born, we¡¯ll apply for a long vacation to spend some quality time with you and catch you up on biology,¡±
Bai Yan patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, saying: ¡°By the way, how¡¯s your Ancestral Beast doing? Have you figured out why it can evolve and devolve freely?¡± ¡°Not yet, Delta¡¯s condition is somewhat special, it might not be entirely a problem of its own bloodline.¡±
Bai Qi said: ¡°But Delta has improved a lot recently, being able to remember six evolutionary forms. I came here this time to see if I could get Delta to remember a few more genes, to enhance its strength.¡±
Since Delta¡¯s gene memory wouldn¡¯t consume resources, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t worried about his parents viting any rules of the Jiuli Group.
¡°No problem, Mom has already prepared that for you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu immediately pped his chest, ran to a storage cab on the side and brought out a sealed box, presenting it to Bai Qi.
¡°Here are ten ancient species genes that your parents picked out for you. ording to the records, they all have formidable fighting power. Take them back and study them.¡±
¡°Uh, isn¡¯t it a bit improper for me to take this?¡±
Hearing Luo Zhu¡¯s words, Bai Qi, who originally nned only to siphon off some genes and then scram, felt a bit embarrassed.
¡°No problem, everything that gets sent here can be dealt with at your parents¡¯ discretion. Given the rtionship between the Jiuli Group and the association, these are just some genes, there will be no problem.¡±
Bai Yan smiled slightly, they had been working for the Jiuli Group for many years, of course, they wouldn¡¯t do things that vited the rules. If they took them out, they surely would have arranged everything properly.
¡°In that case, I won¡¯t be polite.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Yan¡¯s words, Bai Qi stopped being hypocritical and directly took the sealed box from Luo Zhu and put it in the Secret Realm Base.
¡°Son, it¡¯s your first time visiting the ce where your parents work. Let me show you around-¡±
Being able to see her son again, Luo Zhu was obviously very happy, she took Bai Qi¡¯s hand and started strolling around theb.
¡°That was your parents¡¯ rest area, this here is the dining room, just order anything you want to eat, this is the gene extraction room¡¡±
Luo Zhu kept on talking, quickly leading Bai Qi around. In the end, they arrived at thergest room of the entireb.
¡°Cultivation Room? Is this where you cultivate the embryos of Ancient Species?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the que above the door and asked.
¡°That¡¯s correct, but this one here is only small, it¡¯s convenient for us to observe and collect data. Therge cultivation room is downstairs, but you can¡¯t go there.¡±
Bai Yan nodded, saying, ¡°But it¡¯s the same if you take a look here.¡±
¡°Can I look?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, although Delta could transform into an Ancient Species, he felt that the senses were still not quite the same.
¡°Just taking a look, it¡¯s no big deal.¡±
Bai Yanughed and then entered a code to open the door to the cultivation room.
The cultivation room had ten nest-like incubators in view, each containing Ancient Species eggs of various sizes and colors. On a giant screen nearby, the vital signs of each egg were disyed.
¡°They actually managed to cultivate them¡¡±
Bai Qi marveled at the stable data on the screen, his respect for his parents grew even more.
Seeing this trend, the Ancient Species that should have disappeared in the river of time might really be returning to the world.
¡°Huh, what¡¯s going on with this egg?¡±
Bai Qi looked around and suddenly noticed a metal box in a corner that was not closed. Inside it was another Ancient Species egg.
¡°This one is a primitive embryo brought out from the Secret Realm. Unfortunately, it haspletely lost its vitality. Your dad originally nned to send it for gene extraction and re-cultivation, but you arrived before we had time to put it away.¡±
With that said, Bai Yan was about to take that egg away.
¡°Dad, can I have this egg?¡±
Seeing the suddenly progressing Evolution Egg, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment before asking.
¡°For you?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan paused and said: ¡°Is it for Delta¡¯s use? That¡¯s doable, but we have already prepared simr genes for you, isn¡¯t it a bit redundant?¡±
¡°No, I just want to study it.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head and thought for a bit before saying: ¡°And I somehow think that this embryo is notpletely dead?¡±
¡°Not all dead?¡±
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other.
They had already used the Jiuli Group¡¯s most advanced instrument to check it. This embryo hadpletely fossilized and was of no use, except for extracting genes. Bai Qi saying that it wasn¡¯tpletely dead was really just a random guess.
But still, after a nce at each other, they agreed to Bai Qi¡¯s request.
¡°Alright then, son, take it back and study it. Maybe you will revive the Ancient Species before your mom and dad.¡±
Luo Zhu patted Bai Qi, saying, ¡°At that time, your dad and I will just quit and hang out with you!¡±
¡°I just said it might be possible, Mom and Dad, you give me too much credit.¡± Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched, he hadn¡¯t even fully understood biology yet, let alone reviving the Ancient Species.
Indeed, love can make people blind¡
Chapter 305: 301: Insect System Mythical Secret Realm
Chapter 305: Chapter 301: Insect System Mythical Secret Realm
Bai Qi put away the embryo and handed it to Delta for inspection. He then seized the opportunity to ask his parents about the problems he encountered in learning biology.
Of course, these problems weren¡¯t all his own, most of them were sorted out by Delta.
Thanks to Schuck, a research-orientedpetitor, several pets had ns to record problems, which made it easy for Bai Qi to ask questions.
When faced with Bai Qi¡¯s questions, Bai Yan and the others naturally spared no knowledge, and they were also surprised at Bai Qi¡¯s current understanding of biology.
How long has it been, and their son had already delved so deeply into this knowledge?
He was truly a son of a genius (a beauty)!
¡°Hmm, it¡¯s about time, I should leave.¡±
Bai Qi checked the time then voluntarily interrupted this rare family reunion. Bai Yan, and Luo Zhu did not detain him.
Their research had also reached a peak stage, spending so much time chatting with Bai Qi was indeed rare, and they didn¡¯t wish to dy their son¡¯s career.
Rising so quickly to the fifth stage Beast Master, Bai Qi¡¯s talent spoke for itself. The Federation would certainly prioritize his cultivation. Perhaps Bai Qi could be the youngest Legendary Beast Master in the Federation¡¯s history?
Bringing honor to the family, absolutely bringing honor to the family!
¡°But son, you must still be careful. The Western Region is different from other Federation regions. They aren¡¯t as friendly towards outsiders.¡±
Luo Zhu was still somewhat worried and couldn¡¯t help but caution him.
¡°I understand, but don¡¯t worry, mom and dad, it¡¯s not a solo operation, nothing will happen.¡±
Bai Qi smiled. After all, Delta now had Void Echo. If he couldn¡¯t win, he could just run.
¡°As long as you understand.¡±
Luo Zhu nodded, just about to see Bai Qi off, when theb door suddenly swung open and a burly middle-aged man walked in from outside.
¡°Chairman?¡±
Bai Yan paused at the sight, asking somewhat puzzledly, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
The middle-aged man smiled, saying, ¡°The youngest Quad-core Patent holder, the future star of the Federation visits our Jiuli Group. If I didn¡¯te to see, I would be lectured by my father.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan exined to Bai Qi, ¡°Bai Qi, let me introduce you. This is Chairman Zhao Longxiang of the Jiuli Group.¡±
¡°Zhao Longxiang? The same Zhao as Chairman Zhao Futu?¡±
Bai Qi paused, looking at Zhao Longxiang¡¯s somewhat familiar face, and quietly asked Bai Yan.
Bai Qi¡¯s voice was very soft, but Zhao Longxiang heard it clearly and smiled, ¡°That¡¯s right, Zhao Futu is my father.¡±
Upon hearing Zhao Longxiang¡¯s admission, Bai Qi suddenly understood.
No wonder the Federation casually handed over the ancient species embryo to the Jiuli Group. He had originally thought the Jiuli Group had some sort of cooperation with the Federation. Now it seems that the Jiuli Group was essentially supported by the Federation.
¡°Nice to meet you, Chairman Zhao.¡±
Bai Qi greeted Zhao Longxiang. Zhao Longxiang waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so formal, just call me Uncle Zhao. It¡¯s not a big deal, I and your parents have known each other for many years.¡±
¡°Uh, Uncle Zhao.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi being thoughtful, Zhao Longxiang nodded in satisfaction, ¡°You¡¯re more flexible than your dad. Good, Uncle Zhao approves of you.¡±
¡°Chairman¡¡±
Hearing Zhao Longxiang joking about himself, Bai Yan couldn¡¯t help but give a bitter smile, but he was too weak to refute.
¡°Well, Uncle Zhao, if there¡¯s nothing else, I should go now. Instructor Luo should be waiting for me.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, ready to leave.
He had just swiped an ancient species embryo from the Jiuli Group, and now he encountered the head of the family. Although it might be a dead embryo, Bai Qi still felt a little guilty.
¡°Luo Xiang?¡±
Zhao Longxiang gave a faint smile, ¡°I wondered why you would suddenlye to the Jiuli Group. Are you heading to the Western Region?¡±
¡°There has indeed been a lot of activity there recently, many Beast Masters are heading that way.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was suddenly energized, ¡°Uncle Zhao, do you know the specifics?¡±
On the way, Luo Xiang had told him a lot about the mission. However, judging from Zhao Longxiang¡¯s behavior, he might be able to dig up some insider information.
After all, the Jiuli Group was located on the western border, and Zhao Longxiang was Zhao Futu¡¯s son. He definitely knew a lot.
¡°Luo Xiang will tell you specifics. I will not say much. However, I heard it¡¯s the Inheritance Secret Realm of a mythical insect system creature. If you have an insect system pet, Bai Qi, you should be able to gain a lot.¡±
¡°Insect system creature?¡±
Bai Qi understood, nodding his head. The herb worm was half worm, so it should also be ssified as insect system, right?
¡°Hmm? Bai Qi, you¡¯re a Fifth Stage? That¡¯s perfect. Uncle Zhao has quite a few insect system beasts, with decent bloodlines. Why don¡¯t you pick one? Consider it as a gift from Uncle Zhao.¡±
Zhao Longxiang nced at the back of Bai Qi¡¯s left hand and was somewhat surprised, but thinking about his dad¡¯s opinions on Bai Qi, he quickly dismissed any shock.
¡°Thank you, Uncle Zhao, but I¡¯ve already contracted.¡±
Bai Qi smiled and declined Zhao Longxiang¡¯s kindness.
As the chairman of the Jiuli Group, whatever Zhao Longxiang would offer couldn¡¯t be ordinary. However, Bai Qi believed that there wouldn¡¯t be many able topare with the herb worm, which was possibly the only one of its kind in the entire Federation.
¡°I see, what a pity. Uncle Zhao just got a Mythical Species Thunderbolt Teal Bullrva. But if you¡¯ve already contracted, there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡±
Mythical Species?!
Bloody hell, can I still regret my decision now?!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched, he wanted to say something, but he didn¡¯t know how to start.
Impulse, I acted on impulse again. Next time, I will definitely keep the contract position open for a longer time to carefully select from.
Achoo!
At the Secret Realm Base.
While earnestly collecting dreand materials, the insect grass suddenly felt a malicious intent from the unknown. It quickly raised its head to take a look around but found nothing.
¡°Could it be that someone is nning to dissect me again?¡±
Thinking of those seniors who were always plotting against it, the insect grass couldn¡¯t help but shiver. After reconfirming that the door to its room was locked, it rxed and returned to the TV.
¡°I must admit, despite not understanding why humans kill their own kind for others, this Ninja Water Shadow is really good¡¡±
¡°He can stab you with a knife for three days and three nights just by ring at you. I wonder if lean do that too.¡±
Zhao Longxiang had a long chat with Bai Qi. Afterward, he started discussing business with Bai Yan. Bai Qi, who had received a message from Instructor Luo, bid farewell to the three men and left the Jiuli Group.
¡°Bai Qi, over here.¡±
As soon as Bai Qi stepped out of the Jiuli Group building, he saw Instructor Luo leaning against a wildly aggressive off-road vehicle. Beside Instructor Luo, a somewhat retro-dressed man stood.
The man was a little older than Instructor Luo, a very calm character. He seemed a bit out of ce next to the off-road vehicle.
When Bai Qi approached Instructor Luo, Luo pointed to the man beside him and said, ¡°Let me introduce you, this is You Kui, an Insect System Master who will apany us to the Western Region.¡±
¡°This is Bai Qi, a Fifth Stage Beastmaster, as for his specialty¡ Let¡¯s say he¡¯s a hybrid.¡±
¡°Hello.¡±
You Kui nodded at Bai Qi in greeting, and Bai Qi quickly returned the courtesy, saying: ¡°I appreciate your help, Master You.¡±
¡°You Kui has his own insights on training insect-rted creatures. Bai Qi, your five pets have a significant rtionship with the insect system, you can ask You Kui any questions you may have.¡±
Instructor Luo patted You Kui¡¯s shoulder, ¡°This kid¡¯s beasts are too peculiar. I can¡¯t train them, so we¡¯re relying on you.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
You Kui nodded, then turned and got back into the off-road vehicle, turning on the ignition.
¡°Get in.¡±
You Kui said indifferently, then he fell silent. Bai Qi turned to Instructor Luo with a strange expression on his face.
Why do both of Instructor Luo¡¯s friends have such a dull personality? Zhang Shan was like this, and so is You Kui.
Could it be that only these dull gourds can tolerate Instructor Luo¡¯s mouth escape?
Yes, that must be it.
¡°Get in, what are you thinking about?¡±
Instructor Luo pped Bai Qi, who wasining quietly, and took the back seat first. Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly followed suit.
If You Kui was praised by Instructor Luo for having insight into insect ¨C system training, he must be very skilled. Bai Qi had been wondering how to develop the ability of insect grass and soul-eating insects. Now, he has met an insect system master who he can¡¯t afford to let go.
On the way, You Kui remained silent and drove straight to the outskirts of Chong Peng City before finally speaking for the first time.
¡°It¡¯s dark. Let¡¯s rest here for the night.¡±
You Kui parked the off-road vehicle in a wind-sheltered ce, and then quickly set up a full set of camping equipment. He also took out a bunch of bottles and cans, and sprinkled their contents around the campsite.
¡°These are all Tiger Ferocity Insects made into powder, which can effectively prevent poisonous bugs or Ferocious Beasts from approaching.¡±
Instructor Luo looked at Bai Qi, whose face was full of curiosity, and said: ¡°If you are nning any outdoor activities in the future, you should learn these things, they will be helpful.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, even though he usually preferred to stay in the Secret Realm Base, this method was not entirely safe.
Perhaps his surroundings would be safe when he entered the Secret Realm, but everything was unknown when he came out of the Secret Realm.
If a powerful ferocious beast happened to pass by, he might miss his chance to react in time.
Shortly after, You Kui returned to them having finished his preparations. After bringing over a chair to sit on, You Kui got straight to the point.
¡°Summon your five pets for me to see.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, and summoned the insect grass.
¡°Hmm? Boss, do you have any tasks for me?¡±
The insect grass, who was earnestly absorbing various materials, was startled to see its surroundings suddenly change. But upon seeing Bai Qi, it quickly asked.
¡°It¡¯s alright, just let Master You check your body.¡±
¡°Check-up?¡±
Upon hearing the word ¡®check-up¡¯, the insect grass uncontrobly shivered a few times. But seeing Bai Qi¡¯s serious face, it steeled itself and walked towards You Kui.
Hope this man¡doesn¡¯t like slices¡
Chapter 306: 302: The Yixiu Family
Chapter 306: Chapter 302: The Yixiu Family
Upon seeing the bug-nt in front of him, an unusual glow sparked in the ever-stoic You Kui¡¯s eyes.
¡°A hybrid of the insect and nt systems?¡±
You Kui, at a nce, discerned the nature of the bug-nt and promptly examined it carefully.
¡°The surface is a Dream Vine, and if you look at the insect body inside, it appears to be a Soul Eater?¡±
¡°Most Soul Eaters prefer to parasitise animals, but there are some that choose nt hosts. However, I¡¯ve never seen this kind of symbiotic situation. Perhaps due to encountering a topic of interest, You Kui-unlike his usual self -was nonchntly analysing the reason for the bug-nt¡¯s circumstance. ¡°Alright, You Kui, we can research thisplex matterter. Please guide the boy first.¡±
Luo Xiang, understanding You Kui¡¯s character well, spoke up to interrupt him. Realising hispse, You Kui paused before saying, ¡°I can¡¯t offer any useful advice about the nt system. As for the Soul Eater, there are only a few conventional ways of raising them.
¡°The first one involves soul eating. Through consuming the brain of ferocious beasts, it strengthens itself. Although cultivation is quite difficult in the initial stages, the advantage is that it has a higher potential. If you can train it into a , king-level Golden Silkworm undead insect, other beasts of the same level won t be able to resist its soul-eating ability-a truly formidable weapon.¡±
¡°The other involves parasitism. You could choose a powerful beast¡¯s corpse for the Soul Eater to live off. This immediately forms a fighting force. Subsequent cultivation depends on a king-level Puppet Master Mother insect, which can parasitise arge number of ferocious beasts at once. Although its actual fighting power is less, it has excellent control and isn¡¯t afraid of battles involving numerous enemies.¡±
You Kui paused before adding, ¡°There are other methods too, although they¡¯re exceptional cases and not something I would strongly rmend. Thus, you should mainly choose between these two.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, realising that these two methods, one elite and the other brute force, each had its benefits and drawbacks.
However, he wanted both¡
A Golden Silkworm undead insect, adept at beheading, and a Puppet Master Mother insect, proficient in legionbat-if he could merge the two, wouldn¡¯t he be invincible?
Seeing the conflicted look on Bai Qi¡¯s face, You Kui fell silent before saying, ¡°However, your pet can no longer be considered purely an insect system creature. There might be another direction you could explore, but you¡¯ll have to figure that out.¡±
¡°I understand. Thank you, Master You.¡±
Bai Qj nodded. Indeed, the bug-nt, with attributes and skills from both the insect and nt systems, did allow for differentbinations to be considered. Moreover, they were currently in an insect-system-themed secret realm; who knows, he just might have some breakthroughs this time.
ncing at the sky, You Kui said, ¡°Enough, tomorrow we still have more road to cover. Let¡¯s eat something and rest.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi patted his stomach. He hadn¡¯t noticed earlier, but now that You Kui mentioned it, he was rather hungry.
¡°Master Luo, Instructor You, please wait a moment. My pet will be preparing
our food.¡±
Saying this, Bai Qi summoned Gamma, along with a whole set of cooking utensils and ingredients.
ckety-ck.
(¡°Master, what would you like to eat today?¡±)
¡°Just something nutritious.¡±
ckety-ck!
(¡°Alright, Gamma understands.¡±)
Receiving Bai Qi¡¯s directions, Gamma immediately got to work. Its mimicry and diamondification morphed Gamma into an octopus-like creature. It operated various kitchen appliances all at once, and soon, avish mealid before the trio.
¡°Damn¡how unexpected, Bai Qi. Did you teach your pet this?
Upon seeing the feast, Luo Xiang uttered with a chuckle.
¡°Ahem¡Gamma¡¯s hobbies aren¡¯t really something I have anything to do with.¡± Scratching his head, Bai Qi took a moment to praise Gamma, then dismissed both pets back into the secret space.
After fulfilling their appetites, they allocated the night watch duties and began taking turns sleeping.
Considering their levels, it was unlikely they would encounter dangerous beasts near the city outskirts. Yet habits needed to be upheld; otherwise, a mistake could cost them dearly.
Nile City.
Nile City, at the edge of the Federation¡¯s western region, was diagonally opposed to Thousand Cliff Stone Forest.
One aspect these two areas had inmon was their barrenness, bordering on
a desert-like feel.
¡°As I recall, there¡¯s an Association chapter not far from here. Let¡¯s rest there and meet up with Bai Chuanqi.¡±
Luo Xiang roughly gauged the direction, and promptly led Bai Qi to a somewhat deserted building.
¡°Instructor Luo, are you sure this is the Association s chapter?
Bai Qi cast a nce at the deserted Association¡¯s entrance and ¨C ensuring he had the right address ¨C asked in disbelief.
As the recognised Beast Master organisation appointed by the Federation, the Association was spread throughout cities big and small across the Federation, receiving considerable poprity.
However, the Association in Nile City was evidently deserted. There weren¡¯t even many Beast Masters here to battle.
¡°It¡¯s normal. The west still has some powerful and influential families that have great influence. Compared to the Association, local Beast Masters are more trusting of these family powers.
¡°However, it shouldn¡¯t be this deste. They must have gone to the outskirts
of the secret realm.¡±
Luo Xaing shrugged, as if he was quite ustomed to this concept.
¡°Is the family power the same as the Bo Ge family?¡±
Luo Xiang nodded, saying, ¡°But the Yixiu family¡¯s base should be here in Nile
City, which is quite far from the Bo Ge family.¡±
¡°I see¡¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi was a bit disappointed. He had been hoping to seize the other Angel¡¯s Wings on this trip to the West, but it seemed that this was not going to be possible.
¡°However, with the emergence of this Mythical Creatures Inheritance Secret Realm, the Bo Ge family should alsoe. They won¡¯t miss any advantageous situation.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s disappointment didn¡¯tst long; Luo Xiang¡¯s following words immediately revitalized his spirit.
If they came, it would be perfect. This way, Gamma¡¯s skills would be more bnced.
The three walked into the Nile City Association¡¯s main hall. Just like outside, there wasn¡¯t much of a crowd. Apart from a receptionist idling away, there were no other people in sight.
¡°Um, are you here for a mission?¡±
Noticing their approach, the receptionist quickly came to his senses and asked with a warm smile, unfazed by the quietness of the business.
¡°No, we want to ask if Bai Chuanqi is in the association?¡±
Luo Xiang showed his identification, and the receptionist immediately seemed more serious. ¡°Bai Chuanqi went out this morning. He probably won¡¯t return until evening. If Master Luo isn¡¯t in a hurry, shall I arrange rooms for you first?¡±
¡°That¡¯ll be good. We could use a rest.¡±
Luo Xiang nodded and followed the receptionist to the association¡¯s lounge. Then he read through the information handed over by the receptionist.
¡°Hmm¡ The emergence of the Inheritance Secret Realm¡ all sorts of creatures areing out of the woodwork.¡±
Luo Xiang put down the information in his hands, turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯d better be prepared. You might be in for a bit of a struggle.
¡°Me?¡±
Bai Qi was startled as he quickly scanned through the information. It primarily recorded the emergence time of the secret realm and the Beast Masters and various powers recently appearing around Nile City.
Apart from some scattered Beast Masters and advanced forces sent by corporate groups, the only forces Bai Qi recognized were the Bo Ge family, the Thirteenth Bureau, and the Jiuli Group.
However, what caught Bai Qi¡¯s attention the most was thest piece of information.
¡°Qualification test for entry to the Yixiu family?¡±
Looking at the location of the Secret Realm recorded in the information, Bai Qi frowned slightly.
The location of the Secret Realm¡¯s emergence was very crafty; it happened to emerge straight from the Yixiu family¡¯s territory, so the Yixiu family held the absolute initiative.
But for some reason, the Yixiu family didn¡¯t monopolize it. Instead, they organized a contest to determine who would enter.
It seemed like there was a suspicion of using people as cannon fodder¡
Bai Qi looked at the conditions marked in the report with suspicion in his eyes. Luo Xiang, on the other hand,ughed saying, ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it. The Yixiu family does not have the power to influence a legend beast¡¯s Secret Realm, otherwise, the Bo Ge family would not be so prominent in the West.
¡°The reason they are doing this is merely due to the pressures from various forces. Such a contest is a way of asserting their sovereignty.
¡°Since the Yixiu family dares to do this, they must have great confidence in their Beast Masters. So¡ you have to exert more effort.¡± Luo Xiang patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and smiled mischievously.
¡°If you lose in this kind of test, Chairman Zhao definitely won¡¯t let you off.¡± ¡°Instructor Luo, is this a threat?¡±
¡°Yes, it is.¡±
Seeing Luo Xiang tantly admit it, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Although he knew he had to seize the opportunity to enter the Inheritance Secret Realm, wouldn¡¯t you scare your brother away if you threaten him like this?
Bai Qi nonchntly shrugged his shoulders, saying, ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s fight. It¡¯s all the same.¡±
¡°Hahaha¡¡±
Luo Xiang burst intoughter, saying, ¡°I foresee that there will be a marvelous fight tomorrow.¡±
Saying that, Luo Xiang stretchedzily and said, ¡°After such a long journey, I am exhausted. I am going to get some sleep. Bai Qi, you should prepare yourself for tomorrow¡¯s fight. The information of the Beast Masters you may face is at the back.¡±
Bai Qi flipped to thest page of the report and indeed found information on the Beast Masters who had already arrived in Nile City. Naturally, thergest portion was dedicated to the local family: the Yixiu family.
¡°What about you, Instructor Luo?¡±
¡°Me? Didn¡¯t you see it written above? In order to ensure that the Inheritance Secret Realm isn¡¯t damaged, Beast Masters below the sixth stage are only temporarily allowed in. Until you alle out, I won¡¯t be needed.¡±
¡°It feels more and more like they¡¯re drafting cannon fodder. Bai Qi pursed his lips, unable to resist grumbling.
The conditions were extremely strict. The Yixiu family was certainly going to great lengths to ensure that other powers didn¡¯t snatch the inheritance first. However, they were also very confident in their Beast Masters.
Speaking of which, since they¡¯re both ancient families, does the Yixiu family also have a Mythical Species¡
Chapter 307: 303: Challenging Bai Heguang!
Chapter 307: Chapter 303: Challenging Bai Heguang!
Dusk.
Bai Heguang walked into the Nile City Association, and upon seeing Bai Qiing towards him, he couldn¡¯t help but frown.
¡°Bai Qi, howe you¡¯re here?¡±
¡°Teacher?¡±
Hearing Bai Heguang¡¯s voice, Bai Qi immediately began looking around and seeing Bai Heguang¡¯s somewhat unhappy expression, he quickly pointed to Luo Xiang standing beside him without hesitation.
¡°Instructor Luo brought me here.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Heguang turned to look at Luo Xiang, who merely shrugged and said, ¡°You little rascal, you sold me out this quickly. Don¡¯t expect any favors from me in the future.¡±
¡°Cough cough, I was wrong, Instructor.¡±
Bai Qi immediately admitted his mistake, and at this moment, Bai Heguang noticed the change in Bai Qi¡¯s level. His expression rxed a bit and said, ¡°A Fifth-stage Beastmaster, at least you can barely enter the Sun Secret Realm.¡±
¡°The Sun Secret Realm?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion upon hearing this. Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be the secret realm of a mythological insect creature? How did the sune into the picture?
¡°From the current information we have, this secret realm may be the Inheritance Secret Realm of the Sun Beetle. The Sun Beetle, in the past, was worshipped as a sun god, hence the external name of this secret realm is the Sun Secret Realm.¡±
Bai Heguang patiently exined, ¡°Your main pet belongs to the Undead Department, and the environment within the Sun Secret Realm may suppress it. So, Bai Qi, you better be prepared to fight with your other pets.¡±
¡°I understand, thank you for the reminder, teacher.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Although Alpha¡¯s Death Force Field could counteract the suppressing effects of positive energy forces such as Holy Light on its own undead qualities, it still had some influence to some degree.
However, he wasn¡¯t too concerned. Among his five pets, besides the recently contracted Bug Grass that had not yet formed an effective force, thebat prowess of the other pets was still eptable.
¡°Right, it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve checked your homework. Come with me to the battlefield to let me see your currentbat strength.¡±
Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi a few times, then suddenly spoke. Without waiting for Bai Qi¡¯s response, he headed straight for the battlefield.
¡°Can, can I refuse¡¡±
Watching the distant back of Bai Heguang, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Although there was only one grade difference between the legend and the master, the gap between pets was huge.
The gap between a king and an emperor was probably more than ten times the gap between a servant and a king.
There¡¯s really no hope in this fight¡
¡°Hahaha¡ Kid, you didn¡¯t look like this when you challenged me.¡±
Luo Xiang gloated at Bai Qi, ¡°You better be honest and go. There are quite a lot of benefits to fighting with a legendary creature.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, then dragged his heavy steps towards the battlefield.
Despite appearing rather deserted, the Nile City Association had all the facilities one could need, and Bai Heguang brought Bai Qi to a room simr to the one they used for the battle against Luo Xiang.
Upon entering the battlefield, Bai Heguang set the power of the space barrier to its highest level, then summoned his pet.
But it wasn¡¯t Jiuyou Darkbird, his main pet that was almost always with him, but the Blood Scythe Wraith that had previously guarded them in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest.
¡°Err, teacher, do you have a pet with a slightly lower level? Like, a king-level one perhaps.¡±
He had once seen with his own eyes the Blood Scythe Wraith easily harvest the soul of a Six-stage fierce beast that had tried to sneak-attack them in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest. Now, seeing that the opponent Bai Heguang had brought to test him was the Blood Scythe Wraith, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel apprehensive.
¡°I have King-level pets, but your Death Force Field is too special, pets of the same level wouldn¡¯t be able to test your pet¡¯s limits.¡±
Bai Heguang said indifferently, ¡°Moreover, there might be legendary creatures in the inheritance secret realm of mythical creatures. It would be beneficial for you to adapt in advance.¡±
¡°I see, thank you, teacher.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized. Though normally, inheritance secret realms are not very dangerous, but this was not an inheritance for Beastmasters, but for mythical creatures. God knows what peculiar habits these mythical creatures had, it would indeed be good to have the teacher help him warm up a bit in advance.
¡°However, the Blood Scythe Wraith is after all a legendary creature, you can let your pets attack it together.¡±
Bai Heguang paused, then said, ¡°The Blood Scythe Wraith will not attack on its own but will release the aura of a legendary creature. Let¡¯s see what you can do.¡±
We can gang up?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. Although he still couldn¡¯t win, the effect of many against one was definitely different.
With that in mind, Bai Qi immediately summoned all five pets at once, and the five pets immediately noticed the Blood Scythe Wraith on the opposite side.
Click-click?
(Boss, are we going to fight it?)
As the battle maniac of the team, Alpha was the first to perceive the unusual atmosphere around them. There was no timidity, but rather an excited air.
Awooo!
(We¡¯re fighting this guy? I suddenly feel a bit unwell, can I ask for leave?)
Beta¡¯s vertical pupil scanned the Blood Scythe Wraith and immediately sensed his powerful soul, which was somewhat excessive. He started thinking about running away.
Actually, without using spirit power, one could tell just from the form of the Blood Scythe Wraith that it would not be easy to provoke, not to mention Beta had seen it in action before.
¡°Can¡¯t you be less cowardly?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but punch Beta, saying, ¡°And you¡¯re not the only one to go up, why panic?¡±
Woof¡
(But, I¡¯m still very scared¡)
Ever since Beta¡¯s Minds Eye skill upgraded to Insight into Everything, his perception had been greatly enhanced, so he felt very clearly the suppression from the Blood Scythe Wraith¡¯s soul.
This suppression was like the bloodline suppression of a high-level race against a lower-level race, except one was from the bloodline and the other was from the soul.
¡°So, okay, you don¡¯t have to fight, let Schuck do it, Schuck, prepare to take over the body.¡±
¡°With utmost pleasure.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi and Schuck so readily reach an agreement, Beta was instantly roused.
A dog could be killed, but not humiliated. If they wanted to take control of his body, they might as well kill him!
Gurgle gurgle.
(Delta, what are they talking about?)
Bloob bloob.
(I don¡¯t know, probably preparing for battle.)
Watching the one-man double-dog conversation, Gamma waspletely bewildered. After responding a sentence, Delta¡¯s attention was back on the Blood Scythe Wraith.
I wonder if he could evolve into a soul form too?
¡°Um, should I join in this kind of fight too?¡±
The insect grass looked nervously at the Blood Scythe Wraith across from him, shivering involuntarily.
¡°Get used to it first, it might be useful in the future.¡±
Bai Qi patted the insect grass and then looked at Bai Heguang, ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m ready.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, exchanging a nce with the Blood Scythe Wraith, ¡°Then let¡¯s begin.¡±
As soon as the words fell, a dark red aura swirled out from the Blood Scythe Wraith¡¯s body, instantly turning the entire battlefield into a scene of carnage.
Under the wash of this aura, Alpha, Schuck and the others instantly felt an unprecedented pressure, their souls and bodies unconsciously trembling.
Woof!!!
Seeing this scene, Beta let out a long howl immediately. The Demon Subduing Mantra turned into strands of golden power and infiltrated into the souls of Alpha and other pets. The pressure from the Blood Scythe Wraith was suddenly reduced.
At the same time, Gamma switched to the Holy Light State and quickly initiated the Holy Shock, dispersing the blood fog around them.
Without the interference of the blood fog, the condition of the five pets instantly recovered to a great extent, while Alpha took the lead inunching an attack on the Blood Scythe Wraith. A sh of demonic red mes in his eye sockets and the Blood Scythe Wraith was immediately enveloped in the Undying me.
Although it was a legendary creature, the Blood Scythe Wraith was still a creature of the Soul Race. The Undying me, which came from the Phoenix, also had considerable killing power.
It was just that the Blood Scythe Wraith¡¯s body was also shrouded in blood fog. As soon as the Undying me hit its body, that part of the blood fog was peeled off. However, the Blood Scythe Wraith did not abandon it, but used the blood fog to envelope the Undying me and held it in front of itself.
¡°me of the Phoenix? Feels a bit simr to Jiuyou¡¯s.¡±
The Blood Scythe Wraith seemed to be quite interested in the Undying me, but before it could look for long, Alpha, wielding a me great sword, fell from the sky and shed at the Blood Scythe Wraith.
Since the Blood Scythe Wraith would peel off the Undying me, it must be somewhat fearful, so Alpha directly chose the me great sword as his main offensive method. On the other hand, his usuallymon Sword of Death was switched to his left hand by Alpha, as a sideline defense.
Ding!
The Blood Scythe Wraith lifted its huge scythe to block the me greatsword, looking curiously at the demonic red me flowing inside the me greatsword, ¡°You can even absorb the me of the phoenix, as an undead creature, you really are a freak.¡±
Crackle crackle.
Seeing the Blood Scythe Wraith easily blocking his attack, Alpha immediately chose to retreat. He directly entered the Three Heads and Six Arms mode ¡ª holding long swords in some hands, and turning others into bone des. He once againunched a violent attack on the Blood Scythe Wraith.
Although he had not yet managed to ascend to the Fifth Stage, after Bai Qi had enhanced, Alpha¡¯s attributes also broke through their original shackles, and his speed had reached a terrifying degree.
But even so, he still could not break through the defense of the Blood Scythe Wraith¡¯s huge scythe.
¡°Hee hee ¡¡ Good speed, but it¡¯s not enough.¡±
The Blood Scythe Wraith swung its huge scythe while letting out a gloomyugh, ¡°Master, can¡¯t I really make a move?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, looking at Bai Qi, ¡°So, is this the only cooperation among your pets?¡±
Bai Qi shuddered, and the several pets also received instructions, joining the battle together.
The first to move was actually the husky. As the Etherium Liquid Gold flowed, the husky quickly transformed into a double-headed werewolf state, but was not in a hurry to attack. Gamma, who had been prepared at the side for a long time, skillfully wrapped around the double-headed werewolf and then activated Diamond Body.
Combined skill, Diamond Double Wolf!
Chapter 308: 3204: The Strength of the Titled Legendary
Chapter 308: Chapter 3204: The Strength of the Titled Legendary
Despite being encased in a diamond shell, the double-headed werewolf¡¯s movements weren¡¯t hampered in the slightest. In fact, it became more agile and quickly approached the Blood Scythe Wraith. Filled with the Power of Holy Light, the diamond ws viciously swiped at the Blood Scythe Wraith.
Gamma, whose Holy Light contained the power of Thunderbolt, posed a greater threat than the Undying Fire. Combined with Schuck and Beta¡¯s urate predictions, the Blood Scythe Wraith, which had a leisurely andfortable look a moment ago, turned serious and started diverting its attention to handle the diamond wolf.
Caught off guard, Alpha immediately seized the opportunity. Its attack speed dramatically increased, with its Sword of Death never leaving the vital parts of the Blood Scythe Wraith.
As a spirit, attacks on any part of its body would affect its soul. But as long as its core wasn¡¯t damaged, it could slowly recover. However, Alpha, with its own judgments, located the core of the Blood Scythe Wraith.
¡°This is trickier than I thought¡¡±
Being cornered by two inferior creatures, the Blood Scythe Wraith was clearly displeased. But thinking of its master¡¯smands, it refrained from attacking first. However, it significantly increased strength in deflecting the attacks of Alpha and the diamond wolf. Each time it blocked, it felt as though Alpha and Gamma were being trampled by a giant.
Observing how mere blocking caused Alpha¡¯s crystal bones and even Gamma¡¯s diamond body to crack, Bai Qi had the first-hand experience of the difference between a legendary creature and the ones below.
So, Nichs had managed to be a legendary creature just by having dragon lineage and sleeping for hundreds of years?
Well, that didn¡¯t sound right. If he could sleep for hundreds of years without dying, he would probably be a legend too.
Facing the powerful counterattack from the Blood Scythe Wraith, Alpha and Gamma did not retreat. As soon as a crack formed on their bodies, they repaired it immediately, continuing the cycle of attack, break, and repair¡
After cycles of this pattern, the frequency of cracks appearing in the twin pets decreased. They even slowly adapted to this type of counterattack and started using their own unique abilities to counter the force.
¡°This rate of growth, not bad.¡±
He observed that one used its speed and skills, while the other buffered the counterattacks with its fluid form-shifting, they had indeed adapted to this kind ofbat.
¡°But it¡¯s still not enough!¡±
The Blood Scythe Wraith sneered, and scarlet energy immediately coated its scythe. Even Bai Qi, who was standing nearby, started to feel his blood flow uncontrobly once the scarlet energy appeared.
The Blood Scythe Wraith was a monstrous creature known for devouring its enemies¡¯ souls and blood until nothing remained!
Gulp! Gulp!
(This taste, it¡¯s intoxicating!)
After the Blood Scythe Wraith unleashed its blood power, Gamma suddenly became excited. It voluntarily switched to its initial state and extended towards the giant scythe. The Bloodsucking Aura quickly spread out, starting to devour the blood power at full strength.
¡°Huh? This little creature can absorb blood power?¡±
The Blood Scythe Wraith was clearly surprised. Just as it was about to pull Gamma away, a strong spirit power rushed towards its soul. At the same time, a strange chanting echoed in its mind.
This chant had a strong influence on the soul. Even the Blood Scythe Wraith, a legendary spirit, momentarily stalled.
And it was during this dy, that Delta, who had been stationary, finally took action. After umting energy for a long time, the Void Echo finally started to show its ability. Intense Space Fluctuations spread out from Delta¡¯s body.
Furthermore, as the Space Fluctuations intensified, Delta evolved into the form of a Dragon Horned Whale. Its spiraled horn directed the Space Power straight towards the Blood Scythe Wraith.
¡°Is it already aplete Space Department ability?¡±
Looking at the Space Power, surging towards it like a tidal wave, the Blood Scythe Wraith sneered. The blood-colored giant scythe spun swiftly in its hand, knocking away Alpha and the other beasts, before rushing head-on into the wave of space.
As one of the most mysterious categories, the threat Space Power posed to the Blood Scythe Wraith was no less than the Power of Death. Even though Delta¡¯s Double Level was far below his, under the long umted power of Void Echo, this attack was no weaker than a Six Stage King.
But after all, the Blood Scythe Wraith was a legendary creature. The giant scythe danced in its hand, blocking the spatial wave. Then, with a nting sh, it actually split the spatial wave in two.
Despite saving up for a long time and consuming most of Delta¡¯s energy, the Space Power was still vastly inferior to the spatial storms of the Void. Hurting the Blood Scythe Wraith was still out of reach.
Looking at Delta, who clearly couldn¡¯t handle another attack, the Blood Scythe Wraith was about to say something. However, it suddenly felt something and its blood-colored body twisted abnormally, narrowly avoiding a ck long sword.
But the speed of the ck long sword was too fast and still managed to carve a wound on the Blood Scythe Wraith¡¯s body.
The Blood Scythe Wraith looked at the Power of Death spreading from the wound into its body. It immediately controlled the blood power to forcefully expel the Power of Death. Following the direction of the Sword of Death¡¯s thrust, it found that Alpha, who was supposedly repelled by it, was actually in the middle of a Death Force Field, and the Sword of Death had been thrown by it.
¡°Taking advantage of my distraction with the spatial wave to hide in the Death Force Field? That makes sense, spirit power is ineffective within the Death Force Field.¡±
The Blood Scythe Wraith saw this and immediately retracted the Blood Scythe, drifting back to Heguang¡¯s side. Heguang revealed a satisfied smile, saying, ¡°Your beasts have clear roles, and their coordination isn¡¯t bad. As long as they¡¯re not up against legendary creatures, you should be able to retreat in one piece.¡±
¡°Ahem¡sensei, don¡¯t say things like that, it¡¯s making me nervous.¡±
Hearing the rare praise from Heguang, Bai Qi felt a wave of panic.
These days, promoting one¡¯s achievements prematurely can be really concerning.
Heguang didn¡¯t know what was going on in Bai Qi¡¯s head. Noticing the Mind Helmet on Beta¡¯s head, he asked,
¡°Bai Qi, can that thing your beast is wearing on its head enhance spirit power?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°This is called the Mind Helmet, which can amplify and store spiritual power. It¡¯s also a kind of rune machinery.¡±
Bai Heguang understood upon hearing this. He knew Beta was a mutation of spirit power, and he had noticed the vertical pupils on Beta¡¯s head. But then, these alone couldn¡¯t realistically affect the Blood Scythe Wraith. However, with this mind helmet, it was very possible.
¡°Originally, I was worried that you would be distracted too much and affect the improvement of your own strength, but now it seems that perhaps this method is most suitable for you.¡±
A rare gentle smile appeared on Bai Heguang¡¯s face, but it disappeared before Bai Qi could clearly see it.
¡°The potential of your pet beasts is not low. With good training, they could be legendary.¡±
¡°Thank you for yourpliment, Teacher.¡±
Bai Qi gave a smile, nced at the Blood Scythe Wraith behind Bai Heguang, and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Teacher, how many legendary creatures do you have?¡±
¡°Four.¡±
¡°Sigh¡ is every Titled Legendary Beast Master this terrifying? Isn¡¯t it said that nurturing a legendary creature requires a massive amount of resources?¡±
Bai Qi gasped, having the first-hand realization of his teacher¡¯s formidable strength, and couldn¡¯t resist asking.
¡°Not really. Generally speaking, a Legendary Beast Master can apply to challenge the title of Titled Legendary Beast Master once they have nurtured two legendary creatures. The current Titled Legendary Beast Masters in the Federation basically have two to three legendary creatures. Only Wang Chen the Mechanical Legend and I have four legendary creatures.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. He hadn¡¯t expected there to be such a big difference between Legendary Beast Masters. It¡¯s no wonder everyone says the teacher is the strongest in the Federation. Just the number of legendary pet beasts was enough to exin everything.
However, he was surprised that the Mechanical Legend also had four Legendary Creatures.
No wonder the teacher had that attitude towards the Mechanical Legend, and the Mechanical Legend didn¡¯t care at all. It turned out to be because of their strength.
Birds of a feather flock together, and only the strong could be friends with the strong.
¡°Okay, bing a legendary creature is still a long way off for you. Don¡¯t aim too high. Firmly enhancing your strength step by step is the right way.¡±
Bai Heguang looked around and said, ¡°By the way, I saw you summon five pet beasts earlier. Why didn¡¯t the fifth one make any movements?¡±
Bai Qi was stunned upon hearing this. He then remembered that there was another Bug Grass. Just as he was about to look for it, Beta had already brought the unconscious Bug Grass to him.
Howl! Howl!
(It seems like Epsilon passed out from the start.)
¡°This guy¡¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched. Having fainted out of fear before the fight even began was rather embarrassing.
¡°Is this a parasitic species?¡±
Bai Heguang was somewhat curious. After hearing Bai Qi¡¯s description, he was also somewhat surprised.
¡°There are indeed symbiotic species, but this is the first time I¡¯ve heard of one formed postnatally.¡±
Bai Heguang paused and said, ¡°But since it has both insect and nt attributes, you need to consider thebination of skills when you train it.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. He understood this but hadn¡¯t decided in which specific direction to match them. After finishing this mission, he would study them more thoroughly.
¡°I have a general understanding of your strength. You should perform normally in the test tomorrow.¡±
Bai Heguang recalled the Blood Scythe Wraith and said, ¡°As for the subsequent exploration issue, we¡¯ll discuss it when the timees.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
In the case of the Mythical Creatures Secret Realm, even if it appeared within the Yixiu family, it wasn¡¯t possible for the Yixiu family to set all the rules. If luck didn¡¯t favor them, the test tomorrow might end up just being a formality.
¡°Alright, rest early today. Tomorrow, you¡¯ll go with me.¡±
Bai Heguang patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and left. Bai Qi finally had time to check on Bug Grass.
¡°Hm? Why did I pass out?¡±
Under Beta¡¯s stimtion, Bug Grass finally woke up. Looking at Bai Qi and the others gathered around him, he seemed a little confused.
¡°I think that¡¯s what I should be asking you?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eye twitched. Let alone what the future holds for Bug Grass, merely his timidness meant that his future was basically hopeless.
¡°I only remember replicating the image of that wraith. I don¡¯t know when I passed out.¡±
Chapter 309: 305: Eve of the Sequence Battle
Chapter 309: Chapter 305: Eve of the Sequence Battle
¡°Replicate the Blood Scythe Wraith?¡±
Hearing Chong Cao¡¯s exnation, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback.
¡°That¡¯s right, I felt that the image of that deceased spirit would make a fitting perpetual nightmare, so I nned to replicate it, but I didn¡¯t expect¡¡±
Chong Cao looked at Bai Qi with some embarrassment, evidently realizing that his earlier performance had been somewhat embarrassing.
Having behaved so poorly immediately after forming the pact, he feared he would be neglected by the Beast Master in the future.
¡°Replicate a perpetual nightmare?¡±
Hearing Chong Cao¡¯s description, Bai Qi involuntarily envisioned the image of a red-robed Death God relentlessly pursuing through dreands, and his eyes brightened instantly.
Unexpectedly, this Chong Cao had quite the imagination.
¡°The idea is good, but your level is too low. Replicating a Legendary creature is too difficult. You can try to envision a simr creature, as long as the effect is simr it will be fine.¡±
Hearing Bai Qi didn¡¯t me him, Chong Cao was gratefully moved to tears, and he then began carefully considering Bai Qi¡¯s suggestion.
¡°Alright, everyone should be tired. Let¡¯s recover our strength quickly.¡±
Seeing the evidently fatigued five pets around him, Bai Qi took them all into the Secret Realm, fitted each one with a tinum Egg, and then headed to his own room.
¡
The Yixiu family.
An Obelisk covered with peculiar patterns stood in arge courtyard, reflecting dazzling golden light under the sun.
Near the Obelisk, Beast Masters from different factions had set up camp.
Because of the emergence of the Sun Secret Realm, arge number of Beast Masters flocked to the Yixiu family. Their motives were self-evident, of course, it was for the Insect System Myth inheritance within the Sun Secret Realm.
However, whether it was the Thirteenth Bureau representing the Federation, the association, or some independent Beast Masters, they all maintained a respectful distance from the Obelisk with an unspoken understanding.
The secret realm of Mythical Creatures inheritance represented the emergence of another Mythical Species bloodline in the Federation and also indicated the rise of a new prominent family.
Maybe for the ordinary Beast Masters from other parts of the Federation this was a bit far-fetched, but these Beast Masters who were active in the Western Region all year round knew very well that the Bo Ge family, the Yixiu family, and other such powers were able to maintain their family¡¯s dominance under the Federation¡¯s rule solely because of the Myth inheritance.
¡°Master Chun, when will this exploration sequence battle start?¡±
Feng Ye yawned out of boredom, basking in the warm light reflected from the Obelisk and said, ¡°The other secret realms have all been ruled out, leaving only this one. Without question, the inheritance has to be inside here, right¡?¡±
¡°Belch¡¡±
Chun Yushui let out a satisfied burp, wiped his mouth in contentment, and said, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Not all the principals have arrived yet, how could it start so early?¡±
¡°Principals?¡±
Understanding dawned on Feng Ye at hearing this, and looking at the other major forces who were also quietly waiting, he queried,
¡°So, we still have to wait for a few of the key characters to show up.¡±
¡°Of course, without the consent of several big shots, do you think this sequence battle can be organized?¡±
Chun Yushui chuckled and said, ¡°Even though the secret realm found within a power¡¯s territory belongs to them, the Mythical Secret Realm is not ordinary. Unless the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association gives the word, the Yixiu family dares not act recklessly.¡±
¡°This is really troublesome.¡±
Feng Ye stretchedzily and said, ¡°Then I¡¯m gonna take a nap first. When the sequence battle begins, remember to wake me up, Master Chun.¡±
Just as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly shed overhead, followed by the appearance of arge jet-ck bird beside the Obelisk.
¡°Don¡¯t sleep just yet, Bai Chuanqi is here.¡±
Chun Yushui kicked Feng Ye and, ignoring Feng Ye¡¯s reproachful gaze, walked over to Bai Heguang.
¡°Yo, Bai Qi, you¡¯re here too?¡±
When Chun Yushui got to Bai Heguang and saw Bai Qi trailing behind him, he let out augh and said, ¡°I told you we¡¯d meet again soon. With your excellent potential for breaking through secret realms, how could the Association let you miss this sort of event?¡±
¡°Heh~ Uncle Chun, your bad luck charm is splendid.¡±
Bai Qi licked his lips. Although he was also looking forward to the Mythical Secret Realm, seeing Chun Yushui smug about it still made him somewhat dissatisfied.
Bai Heguang looked around and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡±
Chun Yushui shrugged and said, ¡°We¡¯re waiting. Now that you, Bai Chuanqi, are here, once King Legendary arrives, it should be about to start.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, then turned to look to the side where a middle-aged man dressed somewhat oddly was striding toward him.
¡°Long time no see, Celestial Brilliance.¡±
The middle-aged man gave a heartyugh and said, ¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for this Mythical Secret Realm, I fear there wouldn¡¯t have been an opportunity to meet you.¡±
¡°It has been a while.¡±
Bai Heguang responded somewhat dispassionately, then turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°This is the Insect System Titled Legendary, ¡®Gravekeeper¡¯¡ªMalik Ishaw, the current head of the Yixiu family.¡±
¡°Gravekeeper Legendary, nice to meet you.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi bowed to Malik, who examined Bai Qi curiously and asked, ¡°Is this the disciple you epted, as ording to the rumors?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded and said, ¡°Bai Qi, Gravekeeper Legendary and I have some matters to discuss. You go and prepare first.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi nodded slightly, then followed Chun Yushui and the others towards the Association¡¯s base of operations.
¡°Bai Qi, are you representing the Association in this sequence battle?¡±
Feng Ye was just as surprised to see Bai Qi, but considering Bai Qi¡¯s strength, it all made sense to him quickly.
¡°I will be participating, but whether I represent the association or not, I¡¯m not sure.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, saying, ¡°Are you going to participate this time, Feng Ye?¡±
¡°Me? I¡¯ll pass.¡±
Feng Ye shrugged his shoulders too and said, ¡°I¡¯m just here for the ride. It would be great to explore the secret realm, but if not, there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡±
¡°The inheritance of the Mythical Secret Realm attracts all the monstrous talents from everywhere. I can¡¯tpete.¡±
Seeing Feng Ye in this state, Bai Qi did not disagree. Even without considering the potentially absurd personalities other families might send, just the fact that many formidable people from the Yixiu family could potentially participate made the uing ranked battles seem challenging.
¡°By the way, do you know about the Rune Mechanical Armour that has been booming along with the Spirit-Control Orb?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, nodding, ¡°Of course I¡¯ve heard of it. I was the one who announced its debut.¡±
¡°Do you know Mo Zhu?! I want him to design a set of armour for my Earth Elemental spirit. Perhaps I won¡¯t have to gamble on the triggering probability of skills again.¡±
Feng Ye¡¯s face lit up with anticipation; he clearly saw the Rune Mechanical Armour as his lifeline.
¡°Uh¡ I¡¯ll inquire about it for you.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head. Everything else seemed easier, but influencing luck seemed to exceed the abilities of the Rune Mechanical Armour.
Should he find a reason to reject Feng Yeter?
¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to find Mo Zhu. Bai Qi is a member of the Rune Mechanical Armour research team. You can just ask him to design it for you.¡±
Luo Xiang suddenly approached both of them, ignoring Bai Qi¡¯s exasperated expression, and said, ¡°As far as I know, Bai Qi¡¯s expertise in armour design is no less than Mo Zhu¡¯s.¡±
My man, I signed a confidentiality agreement. Are you trying to get me in trouble?
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth twitched. He wished he could seal Luo Xiang¡¯s mouth, but given their power difference, Bai Qi could only swallow his words.
¡°Really?¡±
Feng Ye¡¯s eyes sparkled and he said, ¡°Right, you were the first to propose the theory of Rune Mechanical Armours. You surely know this stuff.¡±
¡°Come on, help me figure out how to design Earth Elemental armour?¡±
¡°I have thought about it. Just strengthening Earth Elemental¡¯s attack a little, its defense a little, its speed a little, and then enhancing the probability of triggering the skills a little bit, that¡¯s all. Not hard, right?¡±
Wow, just a ¡®little bit¡¯. If you keep going, wouldn¡¯t we end up with a billion ¡®little bits¡¯?
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly, but he still started thinking seriously about the design n for the Earth Elemental.
Although being exposed was a risk, presenting himself honestly in front of others might be a good disguise, and this way, his newly designed armours wouldn¡¯t be suspected in the future.
Tearing¡.
Just then, a ripping sound came from the sky, Bai Qi looked up and saw a gigantic teleport portal appear in the sky. Afterwards, a huge mech shrouded in starlight stepped out of it.
The legendary mechanical creation, Morning Star.
¡°The Starlight Legend is here too, huh. The sequence battle is about to start.¡±
Watching the Morning Star that slowly descended from the sky, Luo Xiang¡¯s face revealed a smile. He then patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder, saying, ¡°Young man, try your best~¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth twitched but he didn¡¯t respond.
After the Morning Starnded, Wang Chen stepped out from it, but he was not alone.
¡°Yi Yu, Li Xusheng?¡±
Bai Qi looked curiously at the two people quietly following Wang Chen, and guessed what was going on.
It seems, the Thirteenth Bureau ns to send Li Xusheng to the sequence battle.
¡°I thought I came early enough, didn¡¯t expect to be beaten by you.¡±
Wang Chen walked up to Bai Heguang and said with a regretful face.
¡°I¡¯ve been here for many days now. Also, don¡¯t involve me in your boringpetitions next time, we¡¯re not that close.¡±
Bai Heguang responded coldly, and Wang Chen felt quite attacked; he said mournfully, ¡°Suddenly feeling gloomy, don¡¯t feel like watching the sequence battle anymore. Let¡¯s move it till tomorrow.¡±
Once these words were out, all the eager Beast Masters were stunned. Before they could even react, Malik Ishaw had already agreed.
¡°That¡¯s fine too, some Beast Masters just arrived today. Resting for one night to recharge is a good idea.¡±
After saying that, Malik Ishaw stepped aside and said, ¡°The three of us haven¡¯t gotten together in a long time, shall we have a chat inside?¡±
¡°Sure, I haven¡¯t had anyone to chat with in a while.¡±
Hearing there would be a day to chat, Wang Chen was instantly interested. He then led Bai Heguang and Malik Ishaw into the Yixiu family residence. You would mistake it as Wang Chen¡¯s home base just by looking at them.
¡°Uh¡ I suddenly understand why you admire King Legendary, Instructor Luo. You two¡ you¡¯re really alike¡¡±
Watching Wang Chen¡¯s retreating figure, Bai Qi felt like he was seeing a plus-sized version of Luo Xiang.
¡°You think so? I think so too.¡±
Luo Xiang agreed with him after hearing this and then led Bai Qi towards the association.
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. We¡¯re doing nothing anyways, let¡¯s design Feng Ye¡¯s armour first. Maybe it¡¯ll be useful.¡±
¡°Instructor Luo, you might be overestimating me.¡±
¡°What¡¯s there to panic about, if Mo Zhu can do it, why can¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I¡¡±
Chapter 310: 306: The Outburst of Delta
Chapter 310: Chapter 306: The Outburst of Delta
The next day.
Many Beast Masters arrived early to wait around the Obelisk, and some young Beast Masters were so excited that they couldn¡¯t wait to rush into the Obelisk.
A mythic inheritance wasn¡¯t something you could encounter just by wishing for it.
But before the three main people showed up, they could only dream about it.
¡°Bai Qi, are you sure this is Rune Mechanical Armour?¡±
Feng Ye looked at the Earth Elemental covered in all sorts of strange patterns with some skepticism, and couldn¡¯t help but suggest, ¡°You should at least put some metal armor on the Earth Elemental¡¡±
Bai Qi gave Feng Ye a speechless nce, ¡°The most important part of the Rune Mechanical Armament is the rune system, not the machinery. Besides, are you sure an Elemental creature looks appropriate in mechanical armor?¡±
After hearing this, Feng Ye fell silent. It seemed like he was right, it didn¡¯t seem quite right.
¡°But Bai Qi, you¡¯re really amazing. You designed a set of rune weaponry in just one night. If the data on Mo Zhu hadn¡¯t been published on the Federal Public Network, I would¡¯ve suspected that it was your alternate ount.¡±
¡°Ahem¡I just have a basic understanding of Rune Mechanical Theory, so I picked it up quickly. An alternate ount, how could that be?¡±
Bai Qi shrank his neck a bit ufortably, wondering when bad luck¡¯s intuition had be so strong. He decided to keep his distance from this guy in the future.
Boom Boom Boom¡
Just then, a strong vibration came from the Obelisk. The camps of the various forces, which were no more than a hundred meters from the Obelisk, suddenly found themselves moving further and further away.
¡°Space extension?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, but he quickly understood the reason for this change.
He just didn¡¯t know if this was a change of the Obelisk itself or something the Yixiu family was behind.
Soon, the space around the Obelisk stopped stretching, and the distance between the people and the Obelisk was expanded to a hundred meters away.
Then, the ground around it suddenly cracked open, a dirt dragon burst out of the ground, bearing the Obelisk directly into the sky. When it stopped, a towering peak appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me we have to fight all the way up there~¡±
Feng Ye smacked his lips, looking at the Obelisk standing at the top of the mountain, and couldn¡¯t help butment.
¡°Heh ¡ Originally, I hadn¡¯t thought about it that way, but now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, I think it¡¯s quite possible.¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyelids twitched. He didn¡¯t know why, but the shape of this mountain unconsciously reminded him of a certain Bronze Five Little Strong¡¯s challenge.
After the mountain settled, Malik Yixiu, Bai Heguang, and Wang Chen walked out from the Yixiu family camp. Seeing the people¡¯s astonished expressions, Malik then said, ¡°Thank you all for your patience. As previously agreed, the next will be the fight for the sequence to enter the Sun Secret Realm by young Beast Masters below the Sixth Stage.¡±
¡°However, to save time, our Yixiu family has arranged twelve guardians in advance. As long as you can defeat one of them, you can take their sequence.¡±
¡°Finally, these twelve individuals will enter the Sun Secret Realm for exploration in their respective order.¡±
The crowd nodded slightly, this was basically consistent with what they had learned before. However, the way this sequence battle was conducted was a bit different from what they expected.
I wiped, really crashed into the wrong set, this is the rhythm of him challenging the twelve houses¡
With Malik announcing thepetition results, the figures of the twelve Beast Masters from the Yixiu family gradually appeared on the winding upwards mountain peak. Although the higher ones couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, many people eximed in shock when they saw the Beast Master guarding the first pass.
¡°Heavy Cannon ¨C Liz Ethew? By putting this kind of person in the first position, are they not nning to let people challenge further?¡±
¡°Although it is said that those under twenty-five are considered young, the Yixiu family¡¯s age cards are a bit too urate.¡±
¡°Heh¡I think this is fine, haven¡¯t you thought about, if the first guardian is Heavy Cannon Liz, who will be thest?¡±
¡°Could it be Blood-eyed Carl?¡±
¡°It could also be Poisoned Suess, his poisonous insects are also very troublesome.¡±
¡°Tsk, this is gonna be a good show¡¡±
Wang Chen poked his head out to look at the 12 Beast Masters from the Yixiu family who were already in formation, couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°The Yixiu family is really full of talent. Compared to them, our little guys from the Thirteenth Bureau seem a little unimpressive.¡±
Malik smiled helplessly, ¡°Starlight, do you really have to do this? Who doesn¡¯t know that all the freaks are in your Thirteenth Bureau Special Assault Team Zero?¡±
Wang Chen shrugged, ¡°Freaks and all, they¡¯re still not up to par. At leastpared to Lao Bai¡¯s disciples, they are far behind.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t drag me into this.¡±
Bai Heguang responded indifferently, ¡°Moreover, you guys better get the contest started soon. If it¡¯s toote, there might be some changes.¡±
Malik nodded, looked at the eager Beast Masters below, and said, ¡°In that case, please begin your challenge.¡±
As soon as the words fell, a figure shot out, staggered to the foot of the mountain, and when the identity of this figure was revealed, some people¡¯s expressions became strange.
Yi Yu smiled, looked at Li Xusheng beside him, and said, ¡°As expected, it¡¯s Bai Qi. Xusheng, it seems that you won¡¯t be the first to enter the Sun Secret Realm.¡±
¡°We won¡¯t know that until the fight is done.¡±
Li Xusheng looked icy and was not at all affected by Bai Qi¡¯s performance in the previouspetition.
¡°Makes sense.¡±
Yi Yu nodded slightly, ¡°Although your Bloodline Talent has just been awakened, it should be enough. After the Sun Secret Realm is over, you can go for the Zero Team¡¯s evaluation again.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Li Xusheng nodded and sat down to meditate, showing no interest in watching Bai Qi¡¯s challenge.
On the other hand, Dean watched Bai Qi, who was cursively cursing at the Association¡¯s headquarters, with curiosity and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t see iting, I thought Bai Qi was this kind of impulsive person. I thought he¡¯d observe for a while before making a move.¡±
¡°Humph, you can tell from the way his pet fights. Barbaric, vulgar.¡±
Lilith snorted coldly. Ever since she fought with Bai Qi, she had been detained for half a month, and she wouldn¡¯t feel good about seeing Bai Qi if it weren¡¯t for the emergence of the Mythical Secret Realm.
¡°If you call someone who owns four core patents ¡®barbaric¡¯ and ¡®vulgar,¡¯ then you¡¯re just stupid!¡±
Hearing Lilith¡¯s evaluation of Bai Qi, Dean still had a smile on his face, but his voice became cold. Lilith¡¯s face turned pale, and she stopped speaking.
Dean refocused his gaze on Bai Qi, who had started walking towards Liz Ethew, and murmured, ¡°Just let me see where your limit is.¡±
At the foot of the Obelisk.
Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang, who had kicked him out, with resentment, wanting to grumble but with no energy to do so.
He had nned to watch a show first, as the teacher always disliked reckless actions. To his surprise, Luo Xiang kicked him out with one kick.
¡°I am forced into a corner now¡¡±
Seeing the expectation on the faces of the Beast Masters all around, Bai Qi could only pluck up the courage to approach Liz Ethew.
¡°Liz Ethew, a Fifth Stage Insect System Beast Master. Pleased to meet you.¡±
As the first Guardian sent by the Yixiu family, Liz Ethew showed apletely opposite temperament to his nickname. Seeing Bai Qi approaching, he introduced himself very politely.
¡°Bai Qi, Fifth Stage Beast Master. Pleased to meet you.¡±
Bai Qi introduced himself on seeing this, Liz Ethew was taken aback upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s level.
He¡¯s so young, and he¡¯s already a Fifth Stage Beast Master?
This was quite different from the information they had gathered in advance.
However, despite his surprise, Liz Ethew didn¡¯t mean to waste time talking and summoned his pet right away.
[Name]: Magma Cannon Worm
[Nature]: Insect System, Fire Attribute
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Introduction]: Arge beetle living in magma that can store magma in its body and eject it like a volcanic eruption, causing extensive damage.
¡
Like its race name, the Magma Cannon Worm¡¯s body is extremelyrge, blocking the mountain road as soon as it appears, and looks like a small mountain from afar.
¡°Nowadays, even insects are this huge¡¡±
Bai Qi resignedly summoned his own pet.
¡°An Ancestral Beast? Are you sure you¡¯re not summoning your main pet?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi summon an Ancestral Beast, Liz Ethew¡¯s mood was shaken. He couldn¡¯t help but show his annoyance.
To show his respect for Bai Qi and to guard the first pass, Liz Ethew summoned his famous pet, the Magma Cannon Worm. In response, Bai Qi only summoned a secondary pet, and moreover, it was his fourth pet.
That¡¯s somewhat insulting¡
Liz Ethew¡¯s face turned ugly, and the Magma Cannon Worm, sensing its master¡¯s anger, began to emit red magma from its body, looking as if it was about to erupt at any moment.
¡°Um, is it a rule to use the main pet for battle?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head. He had thought of keeping Alpha¡¯s strength for the subsequent Sun Secret Realm, so he didn¡¯t summon Alpha. It seemed that he had mistaken Liz.
¡°No, it¡¯s just that each person can only summon one pet per battle. I hope you won¡¯t regret your choice.¡±
Liz Ethew shook his head patiently and exined, ¡°The battle hasn¡¯t started yet. If you want, you can change it.¡±
¡°I see, then there¡¯s no need to change.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Hisck of concern made Liz Ethew¡¯s face even more unpleasant.
¡°Fine, let¡¯s get started then!¡±
Liz Ethew snorted coldly, and the Magma Cannon Worm¡¯s body suddenly swelled. A visible violent energy gathered from the worm¡¯s stomach to its mouth. Apanied by a deafening roar, a massive pir of magma shot towards Delta.
The magma¡¯s temperature was extremely high, instantly turning the sand beneath it into crystal. What¡¯s more, the speed of the magma was incredibly fast, reaching Delta in an instant.
Liz Ethew was known as the Heavy Cannon because of the ferocity of the Magma Cannon Worm¡¯s Magma Impact.
¡°This Ancestral Beast is likely to be seriously injured.¡±
The crowd sighed at this, but before they could continue discussing, Delta, who was supposed to be submerged in magma, suddenly charged at the magma with even more speed, easily dispersing it and ramming into the Magma Beetle.
Boom!
Without any resistance, the Magma Cannon Worm was sent flying directly and embedded deeply into the mountain wall. Magma flowed from the wound on its chest, and the Magma Cannon Worm did not make any efforts to struggle.
One hit was all it took for the Magma Cannon Worm to lose itsbat ability!
Chapter 311: 307: The feeling of one person, one hit is so cool!
Chapter 311: Chapter 307: The feeling of one person, one hit is so cool!
¡°Hmm, did I go overboard?¡±
Looking at the unconscious Magma Cannon Worm, Bai Qi scratched his head in frustration, saying, ¡°Uh, is your pet okay?¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s question, Liz Ishaw regained consciousness and, after failing to contact the Magma Cannon Worm, he numbly nodded, saying, ¡°It¡¯s fine. The Insect Race isn¡¯t so fragile.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
Bai Qi nced at the Magma Cannon Worm, who was gasping heavily and inhaling infrequently, and asked, ¡°So, shall I proceed to the next round?¡±
¡°Go ahead.¡±
Liz Ishaw¡¯s face turned sour. He turned his head away, unwilling to chat with Bai Qi any further, while Bai Qi wore an innocent face as he passed by the Magma Cannon Worm, moving toward the mountain.
¡°Celestial Brilliance, your apprentice¡¯s pet is quite interesting. When did Ancestral Beasts begin to have space attributes? And it possesses such explosive power and strength, could it possibly be a descendant of a Legendary Giant Dragon?¡±
Wang Chen looked at Delta, who was walking up the mountain with curiosity in his eyes.
¡°It isn¡¯t, it¡¯s just a bit special.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, looking at Malik Ishaw, he said, ¡°Grave Keeper, do you need to switch the guardian? In this state, it should be unable to fight, right?¡±
¡°No worries. The obelisk wouldn¡¯t sit back and let a wounded pet close by.¡±
As Malik Ishaw finished his sentence, a golden light from the obelisk on the mountain top instantly shone on the Magma Cannon Worm. The massive wound on the Magma Cannon Worm¡¯s chest started to visibly heal up at an astonishing speed, even its condition was restored to its best.
¡°So, this is the Mythical Secret Realm? It¡¯s indeed powerful!¡±
Seeing the magical power of the obelisk, everyone became increasingly curious about the Sun Secret Realm. But they were soon distracted by Bai Qi¡¯s second battle.
After all, while they were astonished by the power of the obelisk, Bai Qi¡¯s second battle had already ended.
Judging from the wounds of the opponent, it was obvious that he was stunned¡
¡°Is this thing really an Ancestral Beast? Why doesn¡¯t it look like the Ancestral Beasts I know?¡±
¡°Indeed, this Ancestral Beast seems exceptionally robust!¡±
¡°Could it be that this is the proper way to train Ancestral Beasts, by developing them as part of the Combat System?¡±
¡°23333¡I¡¯ve been studying the wrong way, studying the wrong way.¡±
¡
Second barrier.
A youth looked incredulously at his defeated pet, clearly finding it hard to ept.
If Liz Ishaw¡¯s failure could be exined away as being unprepared, his failure was due to not being able to react in time. He had instructed his pet to be ready for defense, but Delta made the first move and instantly broke through the defense.
This kind of explosive power, even speed type pets might not be able to manage it, right?
¡°Um, I¡¯m going to the next round?¡±
Looking at the youth who was still muttering to himself, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask in a low voice. But the youth seemed to bepletely immersed in his emotions of defeat and didn¡¯t hear Bai Qi¡¯s words at all.
Why do these Beast Masters of big families have such poor mental qualities? It seems necessary to get involved with big organizations after all.
Bai Qi silently griped for a while before moving on to the third barrier under the anticipation of the crowd.
¡°I¡¯ve told them before, slow-moving pets are live targets in individual battles when facing speed type pets and now they finally ate the bitter fruit.¡±
A youth in a tight suit looked at Bai Qi and Delta with full confidence and said, ¡°But, your advancement stops here.¡±
¡°Brady Ishaw, remember my name.¡±
¡°Oh, okay.¡±
Looking at the overconfident Brady in front of him, Bai Qi nodded, looked around and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to summon your pet?¡±
¡°Summon my pet? It¡¯s already around you.¡±
Brady chuckled, and a figure shot out from behind him and appeared in front of Delta in an instant.
[Name]: Reaper Worm
[Nature]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: With its arms shaped like a sickle, it possesses a shell-like sharp de. It is as fast as a ghost, yet possesses a colossal body, capable of dealing withrge creatures with ease.
¡
¡°Hmm, it looks quite simr to Tangmiao¡¯s Sky-Attacking Mantis.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the Reaper Worm that was gazing down at Delta and asked, ¡°Delta, will it be okay?¡±
Blub, blub.
(Should be no problem.)
¡°That¡¯s good, let¡¯s make it quick.¡±
Upon getting Delta¡¯s reply, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, but Brady opposite him looked somewhat displeased.
¡°Make it quick, you really dare to say that.¡±
Brady snorted coldly and shouted, ¡°Start!¡±
As soon as his words came out, the Reaper Worm turned into an afterimage and disappeared. The only way the outsiders could guess that the Reaper Worm was circling Delta at high speed was from the shaking sand on the ground.
With the Reaper Worm¡¯s speed, it could naturally strike its enemies easily, but considering Bai Qi¡¯s arrogant attitude earlier, Brady nned to teach Bai Qi¡¯s pet a lesson.
Sure enough, after receiving instructions from its Beast Master, the Reaper Worm began to draw closer to Delta rapidly. Its des, sharp enough to cut through metal and jade, slid quickly toward Delta¡¯s appendages, clearly nning to disable Delta¡¯s mobility.
It was clear from the two previous battles that Delta had strong linear burst and impact abilities, but for the Reaper Worm, this low-flexibility ability was no different than a turtle.
However, just as the Reaper Worm¡¯s double des were about to strike Delta, the supposedly unresponsive Delta, suddenly twisted its head and looked curiously at the Reaper Worm. Before the Reaper Worm could react, Delta swung its tail and smacked the Reaper Worm flying.
Blulululu?
(Master, was it preparing to release some kind of skill?)
¡°I¡¯m not sure, but considering how long it took to prepare, it should be powerful.¡±
Bai Qi clicked his tongue, nced at the Reaper Worm whose des were all broken, and didn¡¯t bother to ask. He simply continued upwards.
Avoiding others after losing was a habit that he had just summarised about beast masters of the Yixiu family.
¡°He defeated three consecutively, so quickly? When did Bai Qi be so strong¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi casually break through three barriers, Feng Ye was a bit surprised.
Although Bai Qi was powerful when Feng Yest saw him, that was his main pet, but could Delta, as one of his four pets, already crush other people¡¯s main pets?
Indeed, I am useless¡
¡°You don¡¯t have to be so hard on yourself, Bai Qi is an exception, your talent is pretty good, you¡¯re just a bit unlucky.¡±
¡°Master Chun, you better not console me anymore, I feel worse now¡¡±
¡
Under the surprised of everyone, Delta was unstoppable, easily defeating the guardians of the fourth and fifth stages, and without exception, all were defeated in a single blow.
¡°Are disciples of Legendary Celestial Brilliance really that terrifying?¡±
Unlike other Beast Masters who were watching the excitement, the young Beast Masters of the Yixiu family had someplicated feelings.
¡°It¡¯s okay, the guardian of the sixth stage is Hughes, he wouldn¡¯t be easily passed¡ at least, not by that ancestral beast.¡±
¡°Absolutely, although the speed and explosive power of that pet beast are indeed quite strong, but after continuously challenging five pet beasts, its energy consumption must not be small, it should be exhausted.¡±
¡°Um, um, but why do I feel that the spirit of that ancestral beast seems to be quite good?¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡
Bai Qi led Delta to the sixth stage, and upon seeing the Purple Toad lying in the road, he couldn¡¯t help but pause.
After breaking through five consecutive stages and encountering beetle-type beasts, he thought that the Yixiu family only contracted with beetle-type beasts. Finally, there was a change in the opponent.
¡°Hello, I¡¯m Hughes Ishaw, the guardian of the sixth stage, cough, cough, cough¡¡±
Hughes began to cough violently halfway through his words, so much so that Bai Qi doubted whether he would cough out his liver.
¡°Maybe, you should rest first?¡±
Seeing the other party¡¯s condition, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry, let¡¯s wait until you rest.¡±
¡°Cough, it¡¯s okay¡ I¡¯m used to it.¡±
Hughes patted his chest, finally easing up a bit, ¡°You¡¯ve fought five matches in a row, shouldn¡¯t you consider changing your pet beast? ording to the rules, you can change pets halfway through.¡±
¡°No need, my pet is still in good condition.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, ever since Delta consumed a Source of Life, its energy shortage problem had been permanently resolved. Additionally, as Delta maintained its evolved state, its energy consumption was even less.
Besides, the feeling of taking out an opponent in one hit was really thrilling!
¡°I see¡¡±
Hughes nodded and asked, ¡°Then, shall we begin?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
After getting Bai Qi¡¯s consent, the Purple Toad beside Hughes slowly squirmed and moved, and the ground under the Purple Toad¡¯s feet was gradually covered with purple liquid, spreading toward Delta.
[Name]: Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis
[Nature]: Poison
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Introduction]: Its body contains deadly poison from the inside out. Despite its slow movement, the poison it secretes is difficult to get rid of even for King-level creatures, making it a creature that most organisms fear.
¡
¡°What the hell, is it nning to attack the Beast Master as well?¡±
Seeing the purple poison that seemed to cover the entire sixthyer tform, Bai Qi was a little surprised. But when he saw Hughes, gradually being encased in the purple poison, he understood.
Another Fusion Gift user.
¡°Daring not to change pet beasts against Hughes, this Bai Qi is too arrogant!¡±
¡°Exactly, although passing five stages consecutively is indeed impressive, but being so brash, his future stops here.¡±
¡°I hope Hughes doesn¡¯t go too hard, in case he poisons Bai Qi¡¯s pet to death, Legendary Celestial Brilliance won¡¯t be able to save face.¡±
¡°So what, doesn¡¯t our Yixiu family not have its title¡ huhuhu¡¡±
¡°If you want to die, don¡¯t drag me with you, you dare to discuss Legendary Celestial Brilliance, haven¡¯t you forgotten the rumour before?¡±
¡°Cough, did I just speak?¡±
¡
Unlike the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis¡¯ slow movement speed, the spreading speed of the purple poison was getting faster and faster, soon enough, it engulfed Delta¡¯s limbs.
However, Delta seemed unlike the poisoned creature the Yixiu family had anticipated. It seemed more spirited than before.
Moreover, the surrounding purple poison was visibly spreading toward Delta at a rather rapid speed.
Chapter 312: 308: Local Evolution
Chapter 312: Chapter 308: Local Evolution
Upon seeing Delta¡¯s indifference to the lethal poison of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, Hughes couldn¡¯t help but sneer.
The toxins stored inside his Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, which had been nurtured by him, were iparable to that of ordinary Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis. Not to mention that Delta was just a mostmon wild beast species before evolution, even those who were poison attribute pets could not escape from this deadly toxin.
Thinking of this, Hughes elerated the fusion of his own body with the purple venom, encapsting it in a shell-like outeryer.
The title ¡®Poison Coat¡¯ Hughes originated from this skillbination he shared with the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis.
Firstly, he used the skill of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis to cover the entire field, thenunched an attack on the enemy using his poison coat. As long as the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis was not eliminated at the very first moment, the enemy would gradually be eroded by the lethal poison andpletely lose theirbat power.
For an odd-shaped creature like the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, physical attacks were essentially ineffective unless the opponent possessed specific skills with effects such as purification or burning.
Observing Delta, now thoroughly surrounded by purple venom, Hughes was preparing tounch an attack, only to unexpectedly notice anomalies in the venom beneath his feet ¡ª it was actively converging towards Delta.
¡°This¡ How could this be possible!¡±
Hughes was utterly stupefied, watching the venom quickly gather beneath Delta¡¯s feet and then slowly disappear, he was evidently struggling to ept the reality. After sensing Delta¡¯s current condition, Bai Qi just couldn¡¯t hide his grin.
Partial evolution, it really worked!
[Name]: White Armored Elephant
[Nature]: Wild Beast
[Bloodline Level]: Lower King
[Introduction]: An ancient creature that feeds on poisons, its strong digestion system allows it to ignore most toxins, while its scale-covered tail can extract nutrients directly from venom.
¡
The White Armored Elephant was one of the evolution ns Bai Qi chose from the gic materials given by his parents. Although it couldn¡¯tpare with the Diamond Ape in agility, Bai Qi was extremely satisfied with this creature¡¯s ability to ignore toxins and even replenish its own strength with the toxins¡¯ aid.
This creature¡¯s physique and strength were particrly terrifying even among the Ancient Species thanks to the powerful digestive system that epts everything.
Most importantly, with the gradual increase in proficiency of Delta¡¯s survival of the fittest skill, Delta was indeed able to conduct partial evolutions now.
Just like now, Delta had only evolved its tail into that of a White Armored Elephant. This way, it avoided the energy consumption required for a full evolution and instead, absorbed energy from the venom of Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis to replenish the previous energy depletion.
¡°Is your pet really an ancestral beast?¡±
Hughes soon noticed the anomalies and couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°Yes, it is indeed an ancestral beast.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and, upon confirming that Delta had fully recovered, said, ¡°Delta, go.¡±
Blub blub.
(Okay.)
Delta nodded, a sh of Evolution Light, and a massive Diamond Ape appeared instantly, with ayer of golden light enveloping Delta¡¯s body.
¡°Active evolution?¡±
Hughes was even more surprised seeing this, but immediatelyughed coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with your ancestral beast, but giving up the poison-resistant form will undoubtedly be your dumbest choice.¡±
¡°Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, poison bomb!¡±
At Hughes¡¯smand, the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis immediately straightened its body, and purple-colored poison bombs shot out from its body without any warning and targeted Delta at a speed totally opposite to its slow movement.
However, Delta, who had transformed into Diamond Ape, didn¡¯t care about these bombs at all. He dodged left and right and easily avoided all the attack of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, then rushed right before it.
Seeing Delta¡¯s close approach, the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis didn¡¯t appear surprised at all, but rather forwardly went up against Delta.
Compared to the venom it secreted, the body of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis was the true essence of the poison. As long as it could wrap Delta around, Delta would be quickly eroded by the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis and be the source of venom.
Seeing this, Delta didn¡¯t hesitate at all. His thick right fist mmed violently onto the body of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, and the terrifying force directly smashed the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis into countless fragments.
¡°It¡¯s useless. The Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis has a split skill. Physical attacks can¡¯t¡¡±
Before Hughes could finish his sentence, he saw a rift suddenly appearing in the space in front of Delta. Following that, the void shattered around Delta¡¯s right fist as if it were ss. Even the tform beneath their feet started to crack due to this rift.
The Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, who was at the forefront and directly took the hit, exploded immediately, with only a small unfocused core remaining that fell to the ground, motionlessly.
¡°Space skills? How is this possible?¡±
The already pale face of Hughes turned even paler, and he found it hard to associate the Diamond Ape with the Space Department.
Unfortunately, Bai Qi had no intention of exining to Hughes at all. He bypassed the now powerless Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis and quickly moved towards the seventh floor.
Then, the battle ended with a single punch.
Following that, onto the eighth floor and ninth floor¡
¡°Is it that the Yixiu family is too weak or is this Bai Qi too strong, they all ended with one punch?!¡±
¡°Is that the problem? What I want to know is how that ancestral beast managed to evolve on the spot. It seems like an ancient species that only exists in records ¨C the Diamond Ape?¡±
¡°The Diamond Ape? Wasn¡¯t that extinct?!¡±
¡°I¡¯d like to know too.¡±
¡°Stop worrying about those issues, Bai Qi has already reached the twelfth level.¡±
Upon hearing these words, the crowd stopped their discussions and looked towards the top of the mountain.
Although the specifics of the battle were out of sight, Bai Qi had indeed reached the location of the Obelisk.
¡°Wuhu, such a simple and violent fighting method.¡±
Watching Bai Qi¡¯s unstoppable pace, a smile surfaced on Wang Chen¡¯s face. Several holographic projections then appeared in front of all the major forces, showing the twelfth level.
¡°With such an exciting fight, everyone should enjoy it together, don¡¯t you think Malik?¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Malik nodded his head. His expressionless face didn¡¯t give away any emotions, as though it wasn¡¯t their Beast Masters from the Yixiu family who had just been beaten.
With the help of the holographic projection, all the Beast Masters could clearly see Bai Qi, who had climbed onto the tform of the twelfth level. This started a lively discussion among them.
¡°Has Bai Qi decided to topple the whole ce with just one pet?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi on stage, who showed no signs of removing Delta, Feng Ye couldn¡¯t help but marvel.
¡°As expected, after all, this isn¡¯t the first time he¡¯s done this.¡±
Luo Xiangughed. Back in the big game, someone had pierced an entire team with a single pet. This was just a retelling of that story.
¡°However, I heard that Blood-eyed Carl was trained in the wild since young. It¡¯s said that his Main Pet is a King Creature. Even if Bai Qi is so strong, after consecutive battles for eleven rounds, won¡¯t he be unable to hold on?¡±
Feng Ye was still a bit worried when he heard this, but Chun Yushui gave him a hard knock on the head, saying, ¡°Stop fussing and get going for the challenge. If you keep dying, you¡¯ll lose your chance.¡±
Hearing Chun Yushui¡¯s words, Feng Ye finally noticed that Li Xusheng had already left the team of the Thirteenth Bureau and started his own challenge.
ording to the rules of the sequence battle, any Beast Master who meets the criteria in the field can challenge the Guardian. After the challenge is sessful, they can choose to continue to the next level or be the new Guardian. In a way, this is another form ofpetition.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll watch Bai Qi¡¯s fight to the end.¡±
Feng Ye shook his head. Anyway, the Obelisk would restore spirit and physical strength, so no matter when he went up, the effect would be the same. He decided to finish watching the exciting battle in front of him.
At the twelfth level tform.
Bai Qi looked at the spirited Delta and asked, ¡°Delta, do you still have enough Energy Value?¡±
Blub blub blub!
(Master, don¡¯t worry, Delta still has half its energy. That¡¯s enough.)
While maintaining the evolved form and using the Void Echo consumed a lot of energy, thanks to the recoveries gained from the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis at the sixth level, Delta¡¯s energy consumption in the first six levels was almost zero. Furthermore, the subsequent levels involved run-style battles, so the energy consumption was still within range.
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily upon hearing this. Space Skills were simple and crude¡ªthere was no need to consider attributes. Apart from the mysterious Temporal Department, almost all attributes could only be restrained by the Space Department.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that someone would actually manage to reach me. Those green house flowers have always been unreliable.¡±
Carl, who had been closing his eyes and leaning against the rock wall, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bloody eyes. Following that, a corpse wrapped in yellow bandages, carrying a tombstone on its back, appeared next to Carl.
[Name]: Tombstone Blood Corpse
[Nature]: Corpse Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-Level King
[Introduction]: A corpse born in an ancient tomb, feeds on fresh blood, likes to carry a tombstone around, but its speed is not affected at all.
¡
¡°A King Creature?¡±
Bai Qi gave a small nod upon seeing this. He always thought it was odd that for such arge family as the Yixiu family, despite having so many Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage Beast Masters, not one had a mythical or even King Creature. It was a bit strange.
Carl was assigned to the final round, which undoubtedly showed the absolute confidence of the Yixiu family in him.
Bai Qi looked at Carl closely, but the Evolution Egg suddenly started to tremble.
The trembling was not targeting the Tombstone Blood Corpse, but Carl, the Beast Master.
¡°Could it be¡ this guy is also a sleeper?¡±
The image of Li Xusheng shed in Bai Qi¡¯s mind. Apart from being a possible legendary creature with a bloodline, there was no other exnation for the abnormal behavior of the Evolution Egg.
¡°A legendary bloodline plus a King Creature. This proves to be a bit tough¡¡±
Bai Qi licked his lips, looking at Delta who looked ready for a fight. He still had no intention of recing it with another pet. After a brief thought, he said, ¡°Delta, shall we give ¡®that move¡¯ a try?¡±
Chapter 313: 309: Void Resonance
Chapter 313: Chapter 309: Void Resonance
Bulu Bulu?
(Master, are you sure? Delta has only seeded once till now.)
Bai Qi shrugged and said, ¡°There¡¯s no other way. With this lineup, we can¡¯t win with conventional tactics~¡±
Bulu Bulu.
(Delta understands.)
Delta nodded, feeling the king¡¯s aura emanating from the blood zombie with the obelisk on his back, and surprisingly transformed back into his Ancestral Beast form.
Even more astonishingly, he closed his eyes right in front of his enemy.
¡°Is his energy running out?¡±
Seeing this, Carl wasn¡¯t surprised. He twisted his neck and asked, ¡°Can we start now?¡±
Before Bai Qi could reply, the blood zombie with the obelisk instantly disappeared from where he stood and reappeared above Delta. The massive obelisk gleamed with a blood-red light as it fell heavily towards Delta.
Although Bai Qi wasn¡¯t the target of the blood zombie¡¯s attack, he felt his own blood surging uncontrobly as the obelisk descended, as if it was about to break free from his body to converge towards the obelisk.
¡°This ability¡it¡¯s quite simr to Li Xusheng¡¯s.¡±
Just as Bai Qi managed to calm the turbulence within his blood and was about to check on Delta¡¯s condition, his eyes met Carl¡¯s. The blood that he¡¯d just managed to calm began to boil again instantly.
Was his talent being activated through his eyes?
Blood-eyed Carl¡those under his gaze would find their blood surging uncontrobly, gradually losing their rationality. This held true even for ferocious beasts.
While this ability may not visually enhance him like other abilities do, under such circumstances, it would be difficult for both Beast Masters and ferocious beasts to maintain their rationality.
Bai Qi even felt that if his blood flowed any faster, his head might burst.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately sank his consciousness into the Beast Control Space. The restless energy was blocked out by the tinum crystal wall instantly, and he regained his calmness.
But in this brief moment, the blood zombie¡¯s obelisk had alreadynded on Delta.
Boom!
The boulders splintered, and countless fragments sttered around due to the powerful impact, hitting Bai Qi¡¯s face and causing a severe sting.
As the dust settled and revealed the blood zombie and the obelisk, there was no sign of Delta.
¡°Damn, he wasn¡¯t ttened right away, was he?¡±
Seeing this, Feng Ye couldn¡¯t help but exim. However, Luo Xiang shook his head and said, ¡°No, Bai Qi¡¯s Ancestral Beast dodged it at the very moment of impact.¡±
¡°Dodged it? I didn¡¯t see that.¡±
Feng Ye was even more puzzled. He had never taken his eyes off the screen, and the blood zombie¡¯s obelisk had indeed hit the Ancestral Beast. The obelisk even pushed down further, pressing Delta into the ground. The only conclusion seemed to be that the obelisk had pressured Delta deep into the ground.
It might¡¯ve even crushed him directly.
¡°Sometimes, evasion doesn¡¯t necessarily rely on speed.¡±
With a mysterious smile, Luo Xiang gave a hint, making Feng Ye think of something as he nced at the screen again.
Simrly noticing the unusual happenings, Carl frowned. His blood-streaked eyes scanned the tform but failed to find any trace of Delta continually.
The moment the blood zombiended, he knew that its attack had missed. But even the blood zombie had no idea how Delta had managed to avoid it.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
Was it dematerialization?
Teleportation?
Carl slightly furrowed his brows, and decided not to overthink it. His blood-streaked eyes looked straight at the blood zombie. The blood zombie seemed to sense this and let out a silent roar skyward.
Instantaneously, a blood-red aura emerged from the blood zombie and enveloped the whole tform. Bloodcolored energy was roaming freely in that aura, preparing tounch a fatal attack on Delta the moment he emerged.
Carl was certain that an ordinarily evolved Lord creature, no matter how freely it could evolve, would not be able to resist the King power field.
Indeed, shortly after the blood zombie¡¯s power field expanded, a ripple appeared in the space above the blood zombie. Before anything could materialize from it, the blood zombie immediately looked up. The huge obelisk in its hands was swung effortlessly through the void as if it were a feather.
Simultaneously, the blood-colored energy inside the power field suddenly turned into sharp arrows, shooting towards the creature behind the ripple.
However, the creature seemed unaware of the dangers outside and still emerged from the ripple. It was the Roc, a form that Delta had once evolved into.
The obelisk ruthlessly smashed into the Roc, but it passed right through it like an illusion. The rain of arrows also did the same.
Seeing attack after attack pass through his body, the Roc-shaped Delta¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of excitement, but it was soon reced by calm. Spreading his wings, he circled in the air once and then charged towards the blood zombie with the obelisk.
Seeing Delta initiate the attack, the blood zombie with the obelisk did not flinch. The obelisk, strengthened by the blood-colored force field, revealed several sinister blood-colored runes. The yellow bandages wrapped around the blood zombie swayed like serpents, trying to entangle Delta.
But just like before, all these attacks passed right through Delta¡¯s body without impeding him at all. No matter how the blood zombie¡¯s force field changed, it couldn¡¯t detect Delta¡¯s existence.
¡°Inability to be attacked. Is it an illusion-based skill?¡±
In Carl¡¯s eyes, a terrifying blood-red light was flickering, trying to see through Delta¡¯s illusion. But before he couldprehend the mystery, Delta¡¯s body had already collided with the Blood Zombie.
Bang!
Unlike the previous attacks by the Blood Zombie that were entirely ineffective, an immense terrifying force emerged from Delta¡¯s wings the moment they made contact with the Blood Zombie. In the face of such power, the Blood Zombie, despite being a king-level creature, was involuntarily forced backward.
Subsequently, a deep wound appeared on the chest of the Blood Zombie.
It wasn¡¯t an illusion!
Carl¡¯s eyes narrowed and he tried to activate his blood-eye talent immediately, but the usually reliable ability failed this time¡ªit was as if the Sky Peng who had just hit the Blood Zombie didn¡¯t exist at all.
Having foolishly taken a hit from Delta, the unused Blood Zombie was left standing in ce. Its parched muscles were squirming as if trying to reform, but there seemed to be a strange force inhibiting the Blood Zombie¡¯s regenerative ability.
The Space Power.
Seeing Delta sessfully resonate with the void, a satisfied smile appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face.
Void Echo was originally about using one¡¯s own vibrations to generate a feedback from the void. When Delta¡¯s frequency and the void reached a certain resonance, it would temporarily merge with the void.
In simple terms, if you hit me, you are essentially hitting the Endless Void, thus your attacks will be in vain.
But if I hit you, it¡¯s as if the void is hitting you, and there¡¯s no way to dodge it.
The joy of divine power, only those who use it will know.
After this brief sh, Carl had figured out Delta¡¯s ability at this moment. When dodging, Delta¡¯s body merges with the void, so he is immune to any skill or even force field attack. But when attacking, he emerges from the void, and his attack still contains the Space Power.
¡°However, as long as we know the principle, we can fight it¡¡±
Mockingly smiling, Carl had the Blood Zombie put down the obelisk it held in its hand. The bandages wrapped around its body all fell to the ground, revealing a horrific and dried-up body.
Soon after, the Blood Zombie transformed into a phantom and approached Delta. Its withered palm constantly grasped towards Delta like a sharp de.
¡°Unless you can hide in the void forever, the moment you show up, you¡¯ll only have your fresh blood sucked dry by the Blood Zombie.¡±
A confident smile appeared on Carl¡¯s face, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.
¡°Um, who told him this was about hiding in the void?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, watching the Blood Zombie who was struggling hard to attack, and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Delta, finish this quickly.¡±
Beep Beep!
(Received!)
Delta screeched, its thick wings carrying countless ¡°sea des¡± abruptly pped towards the Blood Zombie. It seemed intent on tearing the Blood Zombie to shreds. But under the protection of the force field, the Blood Zombie, which was already extremely agile, easily dodged and directly came to Delta¡¯s back, wing towards Delta¡¯s dorsal area.
Bang!
Apanied by a crisp sound, the Blood Zombie¡¯s withered palm was immediately fractured into two sections. In contrast, Delta sustained absolutely no damage.
The Void Resonance was about merging with the void.
In other words, as long as the Resonant State was not lifted, Delta was the void, and the void was Delta.
At least, within the void that Delta resonated with, that was the case.
Using the spatial coat as a shield to block the Blood Zombie¡¯s attack, Delta quickly changed direction. His wings pped repeatedly, setting off ripples in the sea of blood-red space that grewrger andrger like waves, causing the blood-colored force field to vibrate incessantly.
Although he had also evolved into a Sky Peng, Delta, under the Resonant State, had briefly mastered force-field skills.
Among all the force-field skills, the Space Attribute had an absolute suppressing force against other attributes.
Seeing this, Carl immediately decided to let the Blood Zombie withdraw its field. The struggle between force fields was very crude and straightforward. Once one party was suppressed by the other, they would basically be reduced to amb awaiting ughter.
Although surprised that the Blood Zombie was actually oppressed by Delta, Carl believed that this state would definitely notst. As long as they endured this period, the victory was still theirs.
But clearly, Delta himself also understood this principle.
Just as the Blood Zombie¡¯s force field was withdrawn, the frequency and direction of Delta¡¯s wing pping suddenly changed. The space ripples, which were originally like waves, twisted abruptly, transforming into a vortex that preciselynded on the Blood Zombie.
A horrifying twisting force suddenly started pulling the Blood Zombie, seemingly trying to forcibly pull it into the vortex. However, the colossal body of the Blood Zombie was toorge for such a small vortex to swallow, it was evidently attempting to tear its flesh.
Just then, a golden light fell from the Obelisk, calming the space vortex around the Blood Zombie. Malik suddenly appeared between the two.
Malik cast a deep nce at Delta, who had just exited the Resonant State due to exhaustion, and told Bai Qi, ¡°This round, you win.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head. Luckily, Malik had stepped in to interfere. Otherwise, Delta would no longer have the strength to calm that vortex. Even though the Obelisk-toting Blood Zombie, being a walking corpse, wouldn¡¯t die so easily, it would surely be grievously wounded.
¡°Chief, I¡¡±
Carl wanted to say something but stopped, and after seeing Malik¡¯s indifferent expression, he could only collect the Blood Zombie first.
Though filled with a sense of unwillingness, he had to admit that in front of Delta¡¯s attack just now, the Obelisk-toting Blood Zombie really didn¡¯t stand a chance.
However, this truly brought disgrace upon the Yixiu family¡
Chapter 314: 310: Awakening of Bloodline Talent
Chapter 314: Chapter 310: Awakening of Bloodline Talent
The appearance of sequence one was quicker than anyone had anticipated. Unless they saw it with their own eyes, they might have dismissed it as a false rumor intended to generate hype.
But now, they werepletely in awe of Bai Qi¡¯s terrifying strength.
A man and his beast had prated through the twelve guardians of the Yixiu family.
And Bai Qi was using four pets!
As everyone knew, because resources were limited, most Beast Masters focused on nurturing one of them, their main pet. The rest were chosen and trained based on their needs, but they were certainly no match for the main pet.
But now, Bai Qi, a newly promoted Fifth Stage Beast Master, had defeated twelve Beast Masters¡¯ main pets using four pets, which was quite bizarre.
¡°Could this be Bai Qi¡¯s main pet?¡±
¡°No way. My friend from the Thirteenth Bureau told me that Bai Qi¡¯s main pet is a king-level undead creature, which is even more abnormal. It directly fights three opponents, and two of them are mythical species angels from the Bo Ge family.¡±
¡°Shh¡ the Bo Ge family is right next to us. Keep your voice down.¡±
¡°Cough, cough¡ Did I just speak?¡±
¡
The Bo Ge family¡¯s base.
Dean quietly watched Bai Qi, who was already standing under the obelisk, his face revealed no emotion.
¡°Dean, should we also go challenge?¡±
Dean shook his head and said, ¡°No hurry. We only need to take action before time runs out.¡±
¡°Time¡¯s up? I didn¡¯t see any time limit.¡±
Lilith was a little confused, but Ellis who had been silent all along, patted Lilith and pointed to the sun gradually moving to the center above their heads. She then turned her gaze back to the obelisk.
¡°The sun? Could it be¡¡±
Only then did Lilith notice that as the sun rose, the strange patterns on the obelisk became increasingly clear. One could vaguely make out the appearance of a giant eye, but it didn¡¯t seem like it upon closer inspection.
¡°The Sun Secret Realm is closely rted to the sun god in myths. I guess opening it would need the help of the sun. Otherwise, why would the three titled individuals make us wait one more day yesterday?¡±
¡°Then how did they¡¡±
Lilith¡¯s words trailed off as she abruptly stopped. The Yixiu family had gone through great lengths to create a mountain peak today, perhaps it was to open the Sun Secret Realm.
¡°Just watch the battle. After all, we¡¯re going to be opponents soon.¡±
Dean nced at Bai Qi at the top of the mountain, then turned his gaze to another blood-colored figure speeding towards the mountain road.
Whilst everyone¡¯s attention was focused on Bai Qi, Li Xusheng was passing through the first checkpoint, the second checkpoint¡ with an equally terrifying speed.
Right now, Li Xusheng was up against Poisoned Suess, who had just recovered from his shock of failure.
¡°A Four Stage Beast Master?¡±
Feeling the vibes from Li Xusheng, Poisoned Suess perked up immediately.
Although he had lost badly to Bai Qi, Bai Qi was a Fifth Stage Beast Master after all. Moreover, even Carl had lost so it made Suess feel much better. However, he still felt a little gloomy.
Topletely eliminate this gloominess, naturally, the best way was to bully a weakling.
Suess looked at Li Xusheng in full armor in front of him, and said: ¡°State your name.¡±
¡°Thirteenth Bureau, Li Xusheng.¡±
Li Xusheng responded indifferently, nced at Bai Qi at the top of the mountain, and asked, ¡°Can we start?¡±
Why were the young people nowadays so rash?
Suess frowned slightly at this sight, but kept his patience and nodded. His Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis immediatelyunched a poison bomb at Li Xusheng.
Having learnt from Bai Qi¡¯s lesson, Suess was not going to give his opponent any chance to breathe. He immediatelyunched an onught.
However, just as the poison bomb was about to engulf Li Xusheng, four blood tendrils that resembled tails flew out from behind Li Xusheng and deflected the poison bomb. With a heavy stomp of his feet, the tform under him exploded and Li Xusheng turned into an arrow leaving the bowstring, reaching the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis directly.
¡°Again?!¡±
Suess became nervous when he saw this. Were all the Beast Masters so aggressive inbat nowadays?!
Just as Suess wasining, Li Xusheng had already arrived in front of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis. The blood tendrils pierced through the body of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, and his twin hammers smashed it down heavily onto the ground.
¡°It¡¯s useless, the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis¡¡±
Seeing that Li Xusheng didn¡¯t use any special abilities like Delta did, Suess breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say something, but then saw Li Xusheng raise his hammers and the four blood tendrils converged on the side. A bloody orb was gradually formed.
¡°This is¡ You are a hybrid of legendary creatures!¡±
A look of horror crossed Suess¡¯s face. He then saw a blood thunderbolt fall and directly hit the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis. Suess saw smoke in purplish red rising from the body of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, then lost the connection with it.
Another enemy defeated in one strike!
¡°This feeling¡ It seems that you have awakened your Bloodline Talent.¡±
Luo Xiang looked surprised upon seeing this. The Bloodline Talent was a unique benefit exclusive to the descendants of legendary creatures like Li Xusheng. When they developed their bloodline to a certain extent, they could awaken their talent, simr to how pets awakened their skills.
¡°Looks like Zero Team is adding another monster to their ranks¡¡±
¡
Under the obelisk.
Bai Qi curiously observed the runes on the obelisk that gradually lit up.
Perhaps because they came from mythical creatures, the runes on the obelisk had significant differences from those in the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm. However, despite the differences, Bai Qi could still identify several familiar runes.
¡°But why does the design seem simr to Beta¡¯s eye? Could there be a connection between the Sun Secret Realm and the Three-eyed Civilization?¡±
Bai Qi wondered, recalling what Yi Yu had told him before parting. Could Yi Yu giving him the Void Pupil Amber not be a coincidence?
¡°Guardian of the tomb, can I enter the secret realm now?¡±
Impatient with curiosity, Bai Qi asked Malik, who was standing next to him.
¡°Not until the ranking battles conclude.¡±
Malik shook his head, adding, ¡°And ording to the rules, you should prepare for your duty as a guardian.¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, only then remembering that he had taken over Carl¡¯s position as the new guardian and would have to face challenges from others.
¡°What a hassle¡¡±
Eager to enter the secret realm and verify the connection between the Three-eyed Civilization and the Sun Secret Realm, Bai Qi quietly leaned on Delta, turning his attention to the screen overhead to watch the current challengers.
¡°Huh, it¡¯s Li Xusheng? He¡¯s already reached the tenth stage?¡±
Watching Li Xusheng on the screen, wielding two hammers and a blood tail that whipped around as if an avatar of a blood god had descended, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised.
¡°He seems to have improved quite a bit since thest bigpetition.¡±
During Bai Qi¡¯s brief observation, Li Xusheng had already knocked out his opponent at the tenth stage with a single strike of his hammer and was striding towards the eleventh stage.
The guardian of this stage was none other than Blood-eyed Carl, who had just been defeated by Bai Qi.
Even though Carl had been ousted as a guardian by Bai Qi, it didn¡¯t mean he had lost the qualification to challenge others. Hence, after Malik announced the results, Carl directly moved to the eleventh stage.
The previous challenger at the eleventh stage, discerning his own strengthpared to Bai Qi and Li Xusheng, wisely conceded his position and returned to the Yixiu family camp.
Finally, Li Xusheng stood before Carl.
The two of them, holding simr backgrounds and even simr supernatural powers, locked eyes. Instead of showing sympathy for each other, they both felt a sense of revulsion.
Without any warning, both of themunched an attack practically simultaneously.
The tomb-bearing zombie unleashed an attack with his giant stone tablet, pressing onto Li Xusheng like a mountain. Li Xusheng, showing no intention of dodging, bravely met the blow with his twin hammers, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the blood tail behind Li Xusheng continued tounch assaults at the zombie from varying difficult angles. The whooshing sound could be heard with each whip of the tail.
The brutal and straightforwardbat style of the man and zombie made the blood of the watching Beast Masters boil with excitement.
A back-and-forth battle was what they anticipated, unlike the boring one-hit-kill fights with Bai Qi.
Seeing this, Carl immediately activated his Bloodline Talent, targeting both Li Xusheng and his four pets with whom he had fused.
Although the Fusion Talent allowed one to merge with their pets regardless of any conditions, the degree of fusion was still rted to thepatibility between the Beast Master and their pets.
If Carl¡¯s Bloodline Talent affected his condition, Li Xusheng¡¯s fused state could easily be forced apart.
Yet, Carl¡¯s talent waspletely ineffective against Li Xusheng. The blood-coloured eyes that had proven effective every time before had no impact on Li Xusheng, as though the blood within Li Xusheng and his four pets had consciously chosen to ignore Carl.
¡°Blood Controllers, so you indeed are a descendant of that thing¡¡±
Carl sneered, retorting, ¡°Just perfect, my blood zombies prefer to feast on the blood of your ilk.¡±
Having said that, the tomb-bearing zombie once again activated his king-level field, causing the blood tail behind Li Xusheng and even the blood within to fly out uncontrobly towards the zombie.
This ability to forcefully absorb the blood within the range of his field and turn it into his own ¨C this was the true power of the Zombie¡¯s field.
Facing the blood-sucking capability of the zombie, Li Xusheng seemed without a viable way to retaliate. Despite his attempts to fight back, his blood tail was slowly being stripped away, and his condition was increasingly weakening.
Finally, after all four of his blood tails were drained away, Li Xusheng couldn¡¯t support himself and fell to one knee.
¡°Blood Controllers, absent of blood, you¡¯re but waste.¡±
A hint of disdain flickered in Carl¡¯s eyes as he prepared to recall the zombie. However, he noticed that the zombie¡¯s body began twisting at a weird angle.
¡°Knowing that I¡¯m a Blood Controller, you still dared to absorb my blood. Foolish.¡±
Li Xusheng slowly rose to his feet, his right hand lightly clenched. Countless blood thorns sprung out from within the zombie¡¯s body, turning it into a pincushion.
Then, these blood thorns left the body of the zombie and formed a tail again behind Li Xusheng.
But Carl¡¯s tomb-bearing zombie fell to the ground the moment its blood left its body, unable to move.
Carl suffered a second consecutive defeat!
Chapter 315: 311: Sun Secret Realm
Chapter 315: Chapter 311: Sun Secret Realm
Carl evidently hadn¡¯t expected to be defeated once again, but feeling the gaze from behind, he silently epted the oue and continued towards the next level.
The difference in time between each sequence entering the secret realm was only ten minutes. Now it was barely twenty minutes. He could barely tolerate it.
Thinking of this, Carl quickly recovered from his continuous failures. He allowed the obelisk to treat the wounds of the corpse, while he continued to examine Li Xusheng¡¯s situation.
Although he had taken back all the blood, Li Xusheng also seemed a bit exhausted. Gazing at Bai Qi, standing at the highest point, a mysterious light shed in his eyes. Followingly, he put away his pets, sat cross-legged, and began to restore his strength.
Were these two really not going to fight?
Carl sighed, quite disappointed. He had initially hoped to see a winner between the two, yet the situation was concluded in this manner.
Thinking of this, Carl focused on his recovery, not sparing the situation another thought.
¡°Hello, can we start the fight?¡±
Just as the corpse was fully recovered with the help of the obelisk, a figure in white suddenly appeared on the tform of the tenth stage. Carl turned around at the sound, only to find Dean looking at him with a smile on his face. Behind Dean, the Holy Light Angel was hovering quietly in the sky, spreading out its two pairs of wings.
Carl: ¡°¡¡±
¡
At noon.
The sun ascended to the center of the sky, and the runes on the obelisk were fully lit, disying a massive golden pupil in front of everyone.
Simultaneously, all the live broadcasts disappeared, and the space around Mount Obelisk was shut off.
¡°The tournament ends here. The following exploration in the Sun Secret Realm will bemenced by these twelve individuals.¡±
Finished speaking, Malik turned to Bai Qi and said, ¡°You can go in now.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ced his hand on the massive eye rune of the obelisk, and his whole person was immediately enveloped by golden light. The golden light dissipated and Bai Qi disappeared on the spot.
Wang Chen and Bai Heguang came together to Malik¡¯s side. Looking at the calm obelisk, Wang Chen suddenlyughed, ¡°Lao Bai, do you think your disciple will surprise us again this time?¡±
¡°The myth inheritance isn¡¯t so easy. Let¡¯s see if he finds the real entrance.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head and said, ¡°And also, don¡¯t call me Lao Bai, we¡¯re not close.¡±
¡°Well¡after all, we¡¯ve known each other for over twenty years, how could you be so heartless?¡±
Wang Chen looked disappointed. Malik, standing by the side, helplessly shook his head and said, ¡°You two are still acting the same after all these years.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t me me for this. Lao Bai always looks down on me. I¡¯m innocent.¡±
Wang Chen shrugged innocently, and Bai Heguang ignored him, strolled to the side, and entered meditation.
¡°Same old, same old, how boring¡¡±
Wang Chen stretchedzily, a mechanistic lounge chair suddenly appeared behind him. He took out an eye mask and put it on. Surprisingly, he started taking a nap right there and then.
¡
Sun Secret Realm.
Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a small stone chamber.
The chamber was not spacious, made entirely of solid brick. With the light from the fire torch in the chamber, Bai Qi could barely make out what seemed like drawings on the walls.
Bai Qi went up for a closer look and realized the wall paintings depicted scenes of ancient people worshipping gods and receiving blessings. The god they worshipped was, of course, the Sun God.
However, Bai Qi was not especially focused on the Sun God, but he became interested in the human who was being blessed.
¡°Three eyes¡ the Sun Secret Realm really does have something to do with the Three-eyed Civilization.¡±
Looking at the third eye on the forehead of the human depicted in the murals, Bai Qi immediately summoned all his pets.
Ow-w-ow?
(Where is this? Why does it feel so dangerous?)
As soon as Beta appeared, it detected the abnormalities here. It was quickly drawn to the three-eyed human in the mural.
Ow!
(How is this human like me!)
Bai Qi paused for a moment and said, ¡°It seems the so-called Three-eyed Civilization wasn¡¯t born that way, but was bestowed by these mythical creatures.¡±
Ow¡
(So, my eye is wholesale? I¡¯m a little disappointed¡)
Beta suddenly seemed quite disappointed, but Schuck was interested and said, ¡°This secret realm seems a bit special. It¡¯s more like a temple than an inheritance secret realm.¡±
Bai Qi nodded and said, ¡°Hopefully, just not a tomb.¡±
This ce was somewhat simr to some civilizations in his past life, and Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to make a sequel to ¡°The Mummy¡± for now.
However, from the looks of it, this ce should be the temple of the Sun God. It certainly should not be rted to those things.
Crackling.
(Master, I feel the presence of the undead.)
Alpha went to the door of the stone chamber, looked at the splendid square outside the chamber, and unconsciously gripped the Sword of Death.
¡°Can I say¡ I highly suspect I haven¡¯t time-traveled¡¡±
Looking at the increasingly familiar murals and ornaments outside the chamber, Bai Qi facepalmed and sighed.
¡°Chief, it seems like I have created a simr dreand before. Have you been here before?¡±
Completely oblivious, Wormwood mercilessly delivered this blow to Bai Qi, who shook his head and resigned himself to the reality. He then stepped out of the stone room.
As he had seen from inside the stone room, this square was unusually spacious, and in the center stood a giant Golden Beetle Statue. The statue reflected golden light under the surrounding torchlight, casting a faint glow over the hall.
¡°Beta, have you found anything?¡±
Bai Qi patted Beta¡¯s head, asking.
Awooo¡
(I sense danger here, but I cannot pinpoint its exact location.)
Beta shook its head, its vertical pupils on the forehead suddenly opening as a burst of icy blue light scanned the surrounding walls without detecting anything unusual.
¡°I see¡¡±
Bai Qi nodded, took a nce at the identical doors around him, then focused his gaze back on the beetle statue in front of him.
ording to the information he had, this secret realm was the inheritance secret realm of the Sun Beetle. Since this statue was the only object here rted to a beetle, it was likely to contain the clues.
¡°Alpha, check out this statue. Gamma, prepare your defenses.¡±
Bai Qi stepped back, signaling Alpha to approach the statue who, sensing the tension, cautiously approached with the Sword of Death and prodded the statue.
Nothing happened.
¡°As expected, I was overthinking.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help mocking himself. After all, no one would leave their inheritance lying in the lobby.
¡°Never mind. Let¡¯s try somewhere else. Since the obelisk has teleported us here, the inheritance must also be here.¡±
Bai Qi surveyed the surroundings, intending to randomly choose a ce to explore, when Beta¡¯s vertical pupils suddenly turned golden. Simultaneously, golden patterns emerged around the pce, slowly converging towards the ceiling.
With the illumination of the gold light, Bai Qi finally noticed a golden pyramid suspended upside down above his head. Below it was the Golden Beetle Statue.
¡°It must be triggered by someone from the Three-eyed Civilization. So Yi Yu already knew what was here.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi became even more convinced that Yi Yu had nned this all along and grew even more wary.
He didn¡¯t believe that the inheritance secret realm was without danger and was simply waiting for them to collect. If that were the case, the Yixiu family would have already ransacked this ce, leaving nothing for them.
Eventually, as the upside-down pyramid was illuminated by the light, a drop of golden liquid dripped from the tip of the pyramid and fell precisely onto the top of the Golden Beetle Statue.
A moment of calm passed, then the sturdy Golden Beetle Statue cracked open, spewing a stream of molten gold straight at Bai Qi and the others below.
¡°Damn it, such a big show, and they¡¯re using such a primitive trap!¡±
Bai Qi cursed under his breath and leaped onto Delta. With one swift move, Delta teleported them back to their original stone room. Alpha followed by grabbing Gamma and Wormwood and took flight.
Awooo, awooo!
(Damn bones, you¡¯re being petty!)
Seeing that Alpha has left him behind, Beta began to grumble. Fortunately, Schuck extended his mechanical wings in time and quickly followed.
Not long after the departure of Bai Qi and his five pets, the Golden Beetle Statuepletely melted into gold, inundating the entire square.
¡°Such avish trap made of so much gold, do we call this divine extravagance?¡±
Gazing down at the golden sea below him, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. He then looked at Beta, whose vertical pupils were still radiating golden light, and said, ¡°Beta, what do you feel now?¡±
Awooo¡
(I can¡¯t say for sure, but I seem to sense something else.)
Beta tilted its head thoughtfully, its golden vertical pupils scanning the golden sea below but uncertain of what it saw.
¡°Oh?¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Where?¡±
Beta extended a paw, pointing at the golden sea below.
¡°You¡¯re saying it¡¯s beneath this?¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi hesitated. This was liquefied gold; even a Fifth Stage Beast Master plummeting into it would probably result in a barbecue.
Awooo!
(That¡¯s right. That¡¯s what my eyes tell me, understand?)
Silent at Beta¡¯s words, Bai Qi turned to Schuck, ¡°Schuck, have you analyzed what¡¯s down there?¡±
¡°Unable to conduct an analysis due to unidentified energy interference.¡±
Schuck shook his head, ¡°However, I agree with Beta¡¯s statement.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Clearly, Beta¡¯s vertical pupils were rted to the Three-eyed Civilization, and the golden sea appeared because of Beta. Maybe, the secret of the mythical secret realmy here.
¡°Beta, you lead the way. Alpha, Gamma, Delta, remember to protect me.¡±
After he finished speaking, Bai Qi kicked the Husky into the golden sea below. Then, with Gamma wrapped around him, he rode Delta and plunged into the sea.
As Bai Qi and his five pets entered the golden sea, the calm molten gold began to whirl rapidly, the vortex centering around them. By the time the whirlpool disappeared, Bai Qi and his pets had vanished without a trace.
Following this, the golden molten liquid, as if alive, flowed together to reform the original beetle. The square darkened again as if nothing had happened at all.
Chapter 316: 312: Black and White Twin Snakes
Chapter 316: Chapter 312: ck and White Twin Snakes
Outside the Obelisk.
The golden giant-eye rune suddenly released a dazzling light, and the mountains under everyone¡¯s feet also started to shake violently, as if they would copse at any moment.
But this strange phenomenon onlysted for a few seconds before returning to normal, leaving everyone staring at each other in surprise.
Wang Chen lifted his eye mask, looking at the giant eye rune on the Obelisk that had once again dimmed down, and said, ¡°It seems that Bai Qi has found the entrance.¡±
Malik sighed, saying, ¡°That must be it. It appears this inheritance will now fall into Bai Qi¡¯s hands.¡±
¡°You¡¯re speaking too soon, he¡¯s only found the entrance.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head and said, ¡°However, we should get ready too.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Malik¡¯s face turned serious, and Wang Chen¡¯s eyes also rarely became serious, saying, ¡°Rest assured, the snare is ready, just wait calmly.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded and then closed his eyes again.
The three of them didn¡¯t avoid Li Xusheng during their conversation, but Li Xusheng didn¡¯t hear anything. After seeing Malik nod his head, he ced his hand on the Obelisk.
The familiar golden light, the familiar stone chamber, the familiar Golden Beetle Statue.
The only difference was the multitude of ck beetles scattered all over the square.
¡
Bang!
Yellow sand danced in the air, and a man with five pets emerged from the sand, all a bit disheveled.
¡°Pah¡ I almost got buried alive, the teleportation method of this Mythical Secret Realm is really a bit shabby.¡±
Bai Qi spat out the yellow sand that had gotten into his mouth and his face showed clear displeasure.
Ah woo¡
(I was scared to death, I thought I was going to get buried alive¡)
Beta was still in shock. Although the process of being absorbed into the golden whirlpool was a bit thrilling, the golden molten fluid didn¡¯t harm them. Instead, it gave them a warm feeling of the Sun.
The feeling didn¡¯tst for too long. Suddenly, the golden molten liquid around them turned into yellow sand. If it hadn¡¯t been for Alpha¡¯s quick reaction in opening up an escape route, they might have been crushed by the desert.
Gaga gag.
(Boss, I get the feeling that something is watching us.)
Alpha gripped the Sword of Death tightly, vigntly scanning the surroundings. Bai Qi also seemed to sense something and instinctively looked up at the Great Sun overhead.
This was the actual Sun Secret Realm, right?
¡°Schuck, search the vicinity for any buildings or creatures.¡±
Schuck nodded his head, and various scouting bees flew out one after another, quickly transmitting the surrounding environmental data back to Schuck. Soon, a holographic map appeared before Bai Qi.
¡°Is it that tower?¡±
Comparing the marks on the map, Bai Qi looked at a dark shadow that pierced the sky in the distance, and immediately decided on the direction to move forward.
¡°Lads, let¡¯s go!¡±
The five pets nodded their heads in agreement. The man and his five pets quickly adjusted their states and moved toward the tower.
They hadn¡¯t walked far when a giant scorpion suddenly emerged from the yellow sand. The long tail needle firmly locked onto Bai Qi and his pets, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
[Name]: Sand Scorpion
[Attribute]: Insect System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Introduction]: They aremunal creatures who like to hide in the yellow sand waiting for their prey to approach, then surround and attack all at once.
¡
Surrounding Bai Qi, tens of Sand Scorpions crept out from the yellow sand one after another, slowly gathering towards Bai Qi. Apparently, they nned topletely surround them.
¡°I thought it would be some special creature, turns out it¡¯s just Sand Scorpions.¡±
Seeing the iing Sand Scorpions, Bai Qi was rather disappointed.
With Schuck and Beta¡¯s scouting ability, of course, they had noticed these creatures under the yellow sand early on. But considering that this was a Mythical Secret Realm, Bai Qi thought he might encounter some rare creatures, so he did not rush to get rid of them.
But the result was just Sand Scorpions, leaving him quite disappointed.
¡°But they are slightlyrger than the Sand Scorpions outside, maybe we could consider them for food.¡±
Upon entering here, Bai Qi found that he hadpletely lost contact with the Secret Realm Base. Delta also said his connection with space was considerably weakened, apparently due to this realm¡¯s suppression.
Considering that they might stay here for several days, it is always right to prepare some rations in advance.
¡°Epsilon, these scorpions are yours.¡±
¡°What?!¡±
Suddenly called out by Bai Qi, Chubby Insect Grass was taken aback, saying, ¡°But I don¡¯t have the ability to fight directly!¡±
¡°No problem,bat strength is something that can be cultivated.¡±
Bai Qi revealed a strange smirk at the corner of his mouth, grabbed the insect grass and threw it towards the swarm of Sand Scorpions, while they directly took shelter in the metal house created by Schuck.
Plop plop.
£¨Master, can Epsilon really do it?£©
Delta, who was the closest to the biological research and insect grass, couldn¡¯t help but feel worried.
¡°No problem, a symbiotic creature fused with two high-level lords and the core of the Knowledge Ancient Tree is not as weak as we think.¡±
Bai Qi paused, saying, ¡°At most, it¡¯s the weakest among us.¡±
Delta nodded but was still prepared to rescue at any moment.
Outside the metal house, the Sand Scorpions seemed to realize that they couldn¡¯t break the metal house, so they target insect grass without hesitation.
Seeing Sand Scorpions rushing towards him rapidly from all around, the Insect Grass was filled with despair. After seeing Bai Qi hiding into the metal object not far away, it felt utterly hopeless.
¡°What did I do to deserve this¡¡±
Feeling helpless, the insect grass sighed while suddenly opening a pair of colorful insect wings from behind. With the wings vibrating, a multitude of colorful powder was dispersed into the air.
This powder, resembling pollen or phosphorus on a butterfly¡¯s wings, floated down onto the bodies of the Sand Scorpions.
However, this phosphorus didn¡¯t cause any damage to the Sand Scorpions. Thus, after a short pause, these Sand Scorpions continued to attack.
But when the Insect Grassnded, the Sand Scorpion group ignored grass insectpletely and unanimously stopped, crawling quietly on the ground as if they were worshipping their king.
Hypnotic Pollen.
The effect of hypnotic pollen significantly enhanced after integrating with insect phosphorus. Even if the Sand Scorpions only got a bit stained on their surface, they still fell into a sleep state.
However, this state was clearly not stable, and some distant Sand Scorpions were wiggling their stingers from time to time, as if they would wake up at any moment.
Seeing this, the seven-colored vines on the insect grass suddenly lengthened and quickly wrapped around each Sand Scorpion like a long snake. Sharp thorns pierced through the shell of the Sand Scorpions, injecting paralysing toxin into their bodies.
Under the double effects of hypnotic pollen and paralysis, the Sand Scorpion group lost their ability to resistpletely. Yet the insect grass didn¡¯t stop attacking. The slender vines directly stabbed into the Sand Scorpion¡¯s brain, quickly eating up the central part of its brain.
¡°Tsk, tsk, being able to use the abilities of two creatures disregarding form, symbiotic species are really convenient.¡±
Seeing Insect Grass easily resolved the Sand Scorpion group, Bai Qi satisfyingly nodded his head. Being able to flexiblybine the abilities of the spirit-devouring bug and the dream vine, thebat talent of Insect Grass was not bad.
After killing all the Sand Scorpions, Insect Grass withdraws all the vines, returning back to its original multi-colored insect form. Though its spirit seemed much better than before.
The parasite could enhance its strength by devouring the enemy¡¯s central nervous system, naturally, Insect Grass also inherited this ability.
¡°You did a good job.¡±
Seeing Insect Grass flying back with its wings spread out, Bai Qi gave a thumbs up. Apparently, Insect Grass enjoyed it, as its previous helplessness and dissatisfaction disappeared.
¡°Thank you for your praise, boss. I¡¯ll work harder.¡±
¡°Good, the facing foes from now on will all be handed over to you.¡±
Bai Qi patted the stunned Insect Grass and turned away, while Gamma extended its tentacles and pulled the Sand Scorpion corpses to its side. It skillfully removed the shells and meat and sealed them inside its crystal body for storage.
Although the meat of the Sand Scorpion was poisonous, there wasn¡¯t
much, and it could be cooked after minimal processing. It had a really good texture.
After that, while Insect Grass was making a face, it paved the way in front. The level of the Ferocious Beasts encountered grew increasingly high, and so did the difficulty of the battle. In fact, when the insect grass encountered a Four-Stage Lord Giant Snake, it almost died by the snake¡¯s kiss.
Luckily, using the robust puncture capability of the spirit-devouring bug, Insect Grass forcefully bit through the enemy¡¯s body from within and replenished itself in the process.
Finally, when they approached the base of the tower, there was a diamond sphere around about ten meters in diameter behind Gamma, which was filled with the flesh of Ferocious Beasts killed by insect grass along the way.
¡°Much smoother than I imagined. After all, it¡¯s an Inheritance Secret Realm. It¡¯s not too dangerous.¡±
Seeing the towering tower in front of him, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and began looking for the entrance to the tower.
Huh?
£¨Why do I suddenly feel a chill on my back?£©
Beta shivered suddenly, and Alpha also enteredbat mode. Bai Qi sensed something wrong ¨C the sand beneath their feet began to shake violently, with walls of dirt rising from the desert blocking their path.
At the same time, two giant shadows emerged from the sand behind them. The cold aura made Bai Qi unconsciously shrink his neck.
Finally, when the earth walls stopped rising, Bai Qi saw the shapes of the two shadows ¨C two big snakes, one ck and one white.
These two snakes were simr ¨C apart from their different colors, they were almost identical. Upon detecting the aura of Bai Qi andpany, the ck and White twin snakes began swimming towards them.
¡°I really was overthinking¡¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, observing the ck and White twin snakes flexibly slither over the earth walls and said, ¡°But, atst, we got two fierce-looking fellows.¡±
Appearing at this moment, the ck and White twin snakes were undoubtedly the guardians of the Sky-reaching Tower, and the twin-level would undoubtedly not be low.
Consequently, the levels of the materials on their body wouldn¡¯t be low, either.
¡°Little ones, the resources for your second round of enhancement are here!¡±
Chapter 317: 313: Defeated the Junior, the Senior Arrives
Chapter 317: Chapter 313: Defeated the Junior, the Senior Arrives
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯smand, Alpha was the first to charge out, closely followed by Delta, who had transformed into a Diamond Ape.
As for Gamma, it firmly guarded Bai Qi¡¯s side, wary of potential enemies that might appear.
¡°Schuck, what¡¯s the current situation?¡±
A sh of red in Schuck¡¯s eyes conjured a brand new holographic map before Bai Qi, thereby revealing the origin of the towering walls.
A colossal maze.
¡°Trapping the intruders in a maze and then letting the ck and white snakes finish them off?¡±
Looking at the ck and white snakes currently engaged in battle with Alpha and Delta, and then ncing at the sky-reaching tower that had distanced itself quite a bit, Bai Qi understood the situation.
¡°Schuck, Beta, you guys go help, leaving Gamma and Epsilon by my side is enough.¡±
Awooo!
(Watch me ughter these two long worms!)
Beta was clearly excited and eager. He charged out impatiently, giving the battle-worn wormgrass a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
The two giant snakes looked fierce. His previous tactics would likely be ineffective against them. If he was ordered to go, it would amount to surrendering.
Facing the offensive of Alpha¡¯s Three Pets, the eyes of the ck and white snakes became more fierce. They opened their hideous mouths and spewed out a thick me towards the three pets.
The approaching me was impressively strong, enveloping all three pets like a volcanic eruption. But after a shriek, a Wind God Winged Dragon broke the column of fire and flew out. With a p of its wings, two tornadoes appeared in front of the ck and white snakes. The powerful suction pulled the twin snakes¡¯ me column towards them.
It¡¯s said that wind drives fire, but Delta¡¯s two tornadoes had no intention of helping the fire. The me was engulfed by the two tornadoes and gradually extinguished.
The Void Echo+ Tornado Maniption, although it didn¡¯t reach the level of a space storm, the space vortex it curled up was enough to put out the ck and white snakes¡¯ me column.
Seeing their attack dissolved effortlessly, the ck and white snakes became even more furious. They raised their heads high, attempting to pull Delta down.
But the Wind God Winged Dragon was a creature that soared in the sky. How could it be easily pulled down by two giant snakes? With a p of its wings, it quickly increased its distance.
At the same time, while the twin snakes¡¯ attention was drawn by Delta, Alpha alsounched an attack on the twin snakes. The merciless Sword Of Death, embedded with the Power of Death, shed across the bodies of the twin snakes. Their hard scales became fragile in front of the Sword of Death and crumbled upon contact.
But the bodies of the ck and white snakes were toorge and their reaction was swift too. The moment the wound was infected with the Power of Death, the other snake forcefully bit off the infected flesh.
The intense pain from the wound fully ignited the ferocity of the twin snakes, who raised their heads to let out an angry roar. The bitten-off flesh surprisingly grew back. The snakes then bit towards Alpha.
Seeing this, Alpha gripped the Undying me Sword in his hand. He swung both swords and directly opened arge wound in the snake¡¯s mouth. The Undying me firmly clung to the snakes¡¯ bodies, preventing the flesh from healing.
At the same time, Schuck also set up the Electromaic Cannon, always interrupting the actions of the ck and white snakes at critical moments, making them perfect targets.
¡°As gatekeepers, these two snakes seem a bit weak¡¡±
Watching the ck and white snakes be at the mercy of the three pets, Bai Qi frowned slightly. ¡°Be careful, it shouldn¡¯t be this easy.¡±
As his words fell, the ck and white snakes that were being bullied by the three pets suddenly abandoned their attacks and put some distance between themselves. They then let out a chilling roar.
Immediately, the sky was shrouded in darkness. This was not due to a sr eclipse, but due to the emergence of two gigantic snakes from the maze.
¡°This is a case of the small one sickening its parents?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the two gigantic snake hydras, which were an exact replica of the ck and white snakes but muchrger in size, and smiled bitterly.
He wondered why the guardians of the Tower of Heaven were so weak. It turned out that the creatures that appeared were only two small snakes.
¡°When the wind is tight, let it go!¡±
At this thought, Bai Qi promptly decided to withdraw without hesitation.
Although a bit unwilling, the feeling given off by the tworge snakes was not different from that of the legendary creatures like Nichs. He didn¡¯t stand a chance against these snakes. He would be foolish to stay.
He could only hope that the two snakes were not interested in the small amount of meat on his body and would not chase after him.
Unfortunately, things didn¡¯t go as he wished. The injury of the juvenile snakes greatly annoyed the two hydra snakes, and they chased after him and his five pets without hesitation. In a moment, they caught up with Bai Qi and his five pets thanks to the head start.
¡°Damn it, do we have to fight it out!¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi clenched his teeth, decisively turned his direction, and ordered Alpha, Schuck, Beta, and Gamma to face the enemy. Delta, on the other hand, resonated with the void at full force, hoping to escape the scene.
¡°Huh? Where¡¯s Epsilon?¡±
Bai Qi looked around and suddenly realized that the wormgrass was missing from the group, startling him.
Leaving aside whether the wormgrass could escape the attack of the two snakes, if the wormgrass were to be lost, his future would essentially be lost as well.
Roar!
Just then, a roar came from behind the hydra snakes. The familiar roar made the hydra snakes stop in their tracks and turn their heads towards the back.
The source of the roar was the ck and white snakes from earlier. For an unknown reason, the twin snakes were huddled together, cuddling pathetically against the tail of the hydra snakes.
Perhaps sensing the mood of the ck and white snakes, the hydra snakes surprisingly gave up on the chase and retreated underground again.
¡°Is this a change of heart?¡±
Bai Qi, upon seeing this, was somewhat puzzled, then watched as the ck and white snakes slithered in front of them, obediently lowering themselves to reveal the cordyceps firmly attached to the ck snake¡¯s body.
¡°Epsilon? Was that your doing just now? Did you parasitize them?¡±
Bai Qi was increasingly perplexed, but upon seeing the vine deeply wedged in the twin snakes¡¯ brains, he had a sudden realization.
¡°I didn¡¯t parasitize them. I simply used the dreand to temporarily influence their actions.¡±
Bearing the gaze of Bai Qi and the beasts, the cordyceps seemed somewhat embarrassed but nheless happily exined.
¡°Controlling actions through the dreand? Hypnosis?¡±
A hint of surprise shed in Bai Qi¡¯s eyes. Even the enormous serpent couldn¡¯t sense anything off, when did this cordyceps be so powerful?
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because the cordyceps is too weak and was ignored. Besides, the dream vine itself is easily overlooked.¡±
Shuck surveyed the cordyceps and offered a guess, which Bai Qi strongly agreed with.
The level three Lord cordyceps were less than one-tenth the size of the gigantic serpent scales, it was normal for them to be overlooked.
For the first time, Bai Qi was relieved that he hadn¡¯t rushed to increase his pets¡¯ levels. Perhaps at level four, the cordyceps would not be able to aplish this.
Just as Bai Qi was secretly rejoicing, the ck and white snakes suddenly struggled a bit before being put back under hypnosis by the cordyceps.
¡°Leader, how should we deal with these two snakes? I can¡¯t hypnotize them for long. Should I forcibly parasitize them?¡±
Having felt the resistance from the twin snakes, the cordyceps promptly asked Bai Qi for advice.
Bai Qi, after some consideration and thinking about the gigantic snake that might not have gone far, eventually gave up this tempting idea.
¡°Let them sleep through it. We better run while the gigantic snake hasn¡¯t reacted.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯smand, the cordyceps immediately intensified the infusion of hypnotic pollen, causing the slightly twitching twin snakes to copse to the ground, and fall into a deep sleep. Bai Qi and his five pets then headed towards the Sky-reaching Tower again.
This time, Bai Qi arrived at the base of the Sky-reaching Tower smoothly, but after circling it several times, he couldn¡¯t find an entrance.
¡°Inheritance Secret Realms are such a hassle¡¡±
Seeing that he has to solve another riddle, Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless. However, his eyes lit up upon seeing Beta curiously sniffing around.
¡°Beta, activate your vertical pupil to its full potential, see if it can have an effect.¡±
Awo?
Beta tilted it¡¯s head but obediently activated its vertical pupil.
With the sh of golden light, Beta¡¯s forehead illuminated the Sky-reaching Tower in front of them. Indeed, a rune that resembled a huge eye appeared on the tower, causing it to shake violently.
So this is how it is!
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes brightened, and seeing the eye-shaped rune slowly opening like a portal, he swung his fist with force.
Roar!
At that moment, the gigantic snake that had left not long ago suddenly returned. Upon spotting Bai Qi and his daring little insects who had dared to disturb its sleep. It roared and swam toward them.
¡°My word, it returned so quickly!¡±
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi hurriedly rushed into the Tower of Heaven, while his five pets followed him without hesitation. By the time the gigantic snake reached the Tower of Heaven, the rune portal had already closed again.
Roar!!!
The gigantic snake lost its prey and roared toward the sky, but it quickly noticed the dreaming ck and white snakes, it nced unwillingly at the Tower of Heaven before swimming towards the twin snakes.
¡
Inside the Tower of Heaven.
After sessfully evading the pursuit of the gigantic snake, Bai Qi let out several breaths, but was still unable to calm the fear in his heart.
Being chased by two legendary creatures, Bai Qi was sure this was the most thrilling event he had ever experienced ¡ª or would experience ¡ª in his beast controlling journey.
¡°Next time when a Mythical Secret Realm appears, I really need to evaluate my own strength appropriately.¡±
Gasping for breath, Bai Qi patted the beta next to him, grateful that the beta¡¯s vertical pupil had such a connection with the Tower of Heaven. Without it, they would have really been in trouble.
¡°But without this eye, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter here, right?¡±
Shuck quietly added a sentence, which immediately plunged Bai Qi into deep thought.
It seems¡ that makes a lot of sense?
Also, it seems that Beta had mentioned feeling danger earlier.
¡°Forget it, we¡¯re already here. Let¡¯s just continue moving forward.¡±
Looking at the seemingly endless staircase above him, Bai Qi let out a sigh of resignation and began making his way toward the top of the tower.
He hoped that this time he could peacefully find the inheritance of the Sun Secret Realm.
Chapter 318: 314: Sun Wheel Beetle
Chapter 318: Chapter 314: Sun Wheel Beetle
The staircase of the Tower of Heaven seemed endless. After Bai Qi had gone a distance but found that the top was still far away, he rather indifferently gave up on his climb.
¡°Beta, can you sense the location at the top of the tower?¡±
Woof woof.
(I can sense what seems to be a special creature up there, but I¡¯m a bit reluctant to go.)
Beta nced at the faintly visible golden light at the top, feeling twopletely different sensations deep in his heart.
One was warm, like the sun shining down.
The other was cold, as if the end of the world had arrived.
¡°I see, so you¡¯re saying there might be some danger up there?¡±
Bai Qi fell into deep thought, images of the two giant snakes from before surfacing in his mind.
They wouldn¡¯t have swum up the tower, would they?
Thinking of the potential warm wee he might get at the top, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
¡°Delta, maintain your resonance with the void and be ready to run at any time.¡±
Bloop bloop.
(Don¡¯t worry, master, Delta is ready.)
Delta nodded, and faint spatial ripples were visible around its body, ready to enter the Void Resonance State at any moment.
Finally, in Bai Qi¡¯s expectant and anxious gaze, he and his five pets finally reached the top of the tower. A warm sunlight immediately shone on Bai Qi¡¯s face, sweeping away his exhaustion and gradually calming his agitated mood.
Following the direction of the sunlight, Bai Qi was shocked to find a golden beetle, its body shimmering with a sun-like glow, lying on the top of the tower. The sunlight was also emanating from the beetle¡¯s body.
¡°Is this, a Sun Beetle?¡±
A look of surprise crossed Bai Qi¡¯s face. A mythical creature, a creature said to have disappeared thousands of years ago, and he had actually seen it!
But this surprise onlysted for a moment before Bai Qi quickly noticed something strange.
Although the golden beetle in front of him felt stronger than any legendary creature, it didn¡¯t provoke any feelings of awe or reverence. In fact, Bai Qi felt it was quite simr to the golden statue in the previous temple.
¡°Could this be another entrance to a secret realm¡¡±
Bai Qi twitched. Obelisk, Golden Sea, Tower of Heaven ¨C he¡¯d already passed through three entrances. If he had to continue to another secret realm, he¡¯d doubt whether he was still trapped in the multiple dreams of the Worm Grass.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi skeptically turned towards the Worm Grass but found that it was intently gazing at the golden beetle in the front, its body unconsciously moving towards the beetle.
Woof woof.
(Human, this seems to be just a beetle shell.)
Beta took the lead in discovering the problem with the Sun Beetle in front of him. After examining it, he indeed saw a faint crack in its abdomen.
Bai Qi was a bit disappointed. He thought he was about to see a mythical creature, but it turned out to be a mere shell.
However, that was fine. If it was a living mythical creature, he wouldn¡¯t know how to deal with it.
Bai Qi approached the shell of the Sun Beetle. After confirming there were no dangers, he curiously ced his hand on the shell.
¡°Just as I thought¡¡±
Looking at the unchanged Evolution Egg, Bai Qi reconfirmed the opinions of his pets, and soon, he was excited.
Although the Material As he just obtained couldn¡¯t validate the beetle¡¯s shell, the shell of a mythical creature wouldn¡¯t be inferior to Mythical Level materials, right?
It might even be higher?
At that thought, Bai Qi immediately wanted to take the shell to the Secret Realm Base but forgot that he was unable to open the secret realm here.
¡°Never mind. Alpha, uh¡ Delta, you should collect this shell for the time being.¡±
Gazing at the sunlit shell of the Sun Beetle, Bai Qi gestured to Delta to take it away for studyter.
However, though the shell of the Sun Beetle seemed to be just lying there, not resisting contact with Bai Qi and the others, when Delta tried to move it, it felt as heavy as a mountain and couldn¡¯t be moved at all.
¡°Gamma, Schuck, Beta, all of you help.¡±
Bai Qi immediately ordered the other pets to mobilize. Even Schuck activated his super thruster, but they still couldn¡¯t move the shell of the Sun Beetle.
¡°What a pain¡¡±
Bai Qi was a little troubled. Even if they managed to move it, they wouldn¡¯t be able to take it with them while they fled. But to leave it behind was certainly something Bai Qi was not willing to do.
¡°Should we just use it directly?¡±
Bai Qi looked skeptically at Worm Grass. As the only pet with insect attributes in the team, it was evident that the beetle shell belonged to it. However, even the Green Dragon Scales, which were Mythical Level materials, showed low absorption rates, so he feared that the absorption rate for a shell from a mythical creature would be even lower.
¡°Never mind. It¡¯s better to absorb a little than none at all. Let¡¯s go for it. Gamma, get ready to heal me.¡±
ncing at the beetle shell still radiating warm sunlight, Bai Qi made up his mind. He picked up the Worm Grass and tossed it on the shell before activating the Evolution Egg.
Bang!
In an instant, Bai Qi copsed to his knees. But before Gamma could provide assistance, the shell of the Sun Beetle released a warm golden light that fell on Bai Qi, quickly restoring his strength.
With the help of the Sun Beetle shell, Bai Qi sessfully condensed the tinum Egg. His body wasn¡¯t tired in the slightest, in fact, he felt more energized than before.
¡°Huh, is this helping a stranger at one¡¯s own expense?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, but given that the insect grass was about to absorb the bloodline of a mythical creature, he didn¡¯t interfere any further.
A mythical creature of his own, was he finally going to have one?
Boom!
Just then, the Tower of Heaven suddenly shook violently, the wall that once radiated gold gradually dimmed, reced by endless darkness¡and death!
Crackle, crackle!
(Boss, it¡¯s the Power of Death!)
Seeing the prepared Alpha, Bai Qi was slightly taken aback.
What happened to the Sun Secret Realm? Why was there Power of Death here now!
¡°Schuck, Beta, grab the insect grass egg. Delta, get ready to run!¡±
Sensing the dangerous auraing from the bottom of the tower, Bai Qi made an immediate decision to escape with the tinum Eggs.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the top of the Tower of Heaven was suddenly torn open. Two colossal heads, one ck and one white, peered inside. Upon seeing the vanished shell of the Sun Beetle, a stroke of ferocity shed through their vertical pupils.
Roar!!!
The ck giant serpent roared upwards and then burrowed into the Tower of Heaven. But its target was not Bai Qi, rather, it was heading for the bottom of the tower ¨C concerning the white giant serpent, as if sensing something, suddenly changed its course, heading off towards the desert area.
Observing the giant serpent¡¯s behaviour, Bai Qi inferred something and promptly escaped the tower from the breach at the top.
The white giant serpent had swam a considerable distance away, its figure almost invisible, yet faint roars could still be heard, as though it was in battle.
At the same time, wails came from beneath the tower, and the Tower of Heaven started to shake violently as if about to copse at any moment.
¡°Looks like¡I¡¯ve caused a disaster¡¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, and Beta seemed to have sensed something too, as gold light shed in its vertical pupils.
Howl, howl!
(Human, I sense the entrance is opening!)
¡°Then what are we waiting for, let¡¯s get out of here!¡±
Hearing Beta¡¯s words, Bai Qi didn¡¯t hesitate and headed in the direction they came from.
Although he wasn¡¯t sure whether the shell of the Sun Beetle was the Mythical inheritance, looking at the present situation, preserving his life was of utmost importance.
Because they entered the Void Resonance State early, Delta retreated to their point of entry almost instantly. But Delta was quite worn out, as it had consumed most of its energy that was supposed to be enough for twelve rounds of battles.
Seemingly sensing Beta¡¯s approach, the desert beneath once again turned into a golden sea, and Bai Qi and his five pets didn¡¯t hesitate to plunge into the golden sea.
Just as they were about to submergepletely into the golden sea, the Tower of Heaven exploded, a ck mist like a long snake burrowed out from the ground and slithered towards the sky. The sun in the sky began to dim.
Was the Tower of Heaven¡a seal?
Upon seeing the ck mist snake, Bai Qi understood the purpose of the Tower of Heaven amidst his pounding heart but before he could think further, he waspletely swallowed by the golden sea, which then turned back into a desert.
At this moment, the ck mist snake seemed to have sensed something as well and rapidly slithered towards the entrance. Mid-flight, a ck figure fell from its body, revealing arge white snake skeleton.
Could it be anyone else but the ck giant serpent!?
The ck mist snake circled above the desert for a long time, unable to locate the entrance, it could only let out a silent roar of rage, immediately shifting its target to the white giant serpent.
It was starving.
¡
The Golden Temple.
Li Xusheng was wary as he looked at the martial souls on the opposing side that looked like both undead and living creatures, while beside him stood Dean and others.
¡°I never expected the Sun Secret Realm to let Beast Soul Warriors infiltrate. Could there be other entrances?¡±
As the twelfth contestant to enter, Feng Ye, who was forced to join the battle before he even had time to check out his surroundings, couldn¡¯t help butin.
He had finally made it to thepetition using the Rune made overnight by Bai Qi to suppress the heavy cannon. Just as they were about to explore, they ended up fighting these Beast Soul Warriors. To say he wasn¡¯t frustrated would definitely be a lie.
¡°We should ask Carl about this. Surely the Yixiu family won¡¯t be unaware of whether their secret realm has a backdoorl.¡±
Once Dean mentioned this, all eyes turned to the Yixiu family members, and Carl¡¯s expression instantly turned gloomy.
¡°The obelisk¡¯s appearance in the Yixiu family territory was a coincidence. We don¡¯t know how the Beast Soul Warriors entered.¡±
Carl paused, then said, ¡°The matter at hand is to deal with these Beast Soul Warriors.¡±
Everyone nodded in agreement, while the Beast Soul Warriors on the other side began to move.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Ah!!!
At that moment, a scream echoed from above, causing everyone present to look up. To their astonishment, they saw a man, four pets, not right, one man, four pets and an egg falling from the sky, smashing into the ranks of the Beast Soul Warriors.
¡°Is that¡Bai Qi?!¡±
Chapter 319: 315: Death Knight
Chapter 319: Chapter 315: Death Knight
¡°I clearly went through the same entrance, howe I fell from the sky when I returned.¡±
Bai Qi got up from the ground, patted the padding on Gamma¡¯s back, and said, ¡°Good thing Gamma was there, or I would have been smashed to death.¡±
Gobble-Gobble.
(Thank you, Master for thepliment.)
Gamma satisfactorily rubbed against Bai Qi, while Alpha suddenly blocked Bai Qi¡¯s front.
Cackle-Cackle.
(Master, there are Beast Soul Warriors.)
Taken aback by the words, Bai Qi then realized that he was surrounded by a group of Beast Soul Warriors. Not far away, Li Xusheng and others were staring in astonishment.
¡°Uhm, it seems like I fell at the wrong location?¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, while the Beast Soul Warriors clearly had no intention of allowing Bai Qi to keep daydreaming. They manipted their Martial Souls andunched an attack on Bai Qi.
¡°Although I don¡¯t know what happened, all these Martial Souls, just right to replenish the Sword of Death, Alpha, take them down!¡±
Cackle-Cackle.
(Boss, don¡¯t worry. They cannot escape.)
Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death pointed at the Martial Souls, Death Force Field suddenly unfolded, wrapping up those Martial Souls directly.
As concentrations of Spirit Power, the Martial Souls clearly could not withstand the breath of the Death Force Field, and wailed as they ran outwards while Bai Qi took the opportunity to slip back into the friendly army.
¡°Bai Qi, how did you fall from the sky? And this egg?¡±
Feng Ye asked with some curiosity, while Dean looked thoughtful and said, ¡°Could this be the Sun Beetle inheritance?¡±
Hearing Dean¡¯s words, everyone looked sideways, with a few of them even looking dangerous.
Wouldn¡¯t a hatchling of a mythical creature be invincible?
¡°Cough cough, how could it, this is my fifth pet, just evolved.¡±
Bai Qi straightened his face and looked at the other side, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s defeat these Beast Soul Warriors first.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s appearance, Feng Ye and others all twitched their lips. Could this excuse be any more fake?
They couldn¡¯t detect anything like the Sun Beetle¡¯s aura, so they quickly focused on the task at hand.
Although Alpha caught them off guard, these Beast Soul Warriors were not low-level, and they quickly regrouped to fight.
Even so, the attack of Alpha still made these Martial Souls wary, and with the asional surprise attack of ¡®Undying me,¡¯ these Beast Soul Warriors still looked flustered.
¡°Finish them quickly, there¡¯s definitely chaos outside.¡±
Li Xusheng hammered a Martial Soul trying to ambush them into flight, left a word and then killed into the pack of Beast Soul Warriors.
Dean and others were not to be outdone, and they all took action.
These Beast Soul Warriors who faced the twelve outstanding figures had a strongbat experience. However, in front of the King-level Alpha and Judgment Angel, they quickly lost their armor and were forced to gather together.
¡°How are we going to deal with them next? Interrogate them about the other entrance?¡±
Feng Ye looked at the Beast Soul Warriors, who had basically lost theirbat power, and asked.
¡°These are all Beast Soul Warriors nurtured by the tribe, normal interrogation means would yield nothing.¡±
Dean shook his head, looked at Carl, and said, ¡°Besides, it¡¯s not that time yet.¡±
The moment the words ended, various colored lights lit up on the bodies of the Beast Soul Warriors, on their nes or bracelets, and a strong aura rose one after another from those Martial Souls.
Martial soul is the condensation of Beast Soul Warriors based on the image of their own contracted creatures. With the aid of soul devices, even if they are far apart, they can project their consciousness over there.
Other than Li Xusheng, Dean, Carl, who had experienced this, ordinary Beast Masters were oblivious to this.
Looking at the increasingly powerful Martial Souls, Li Xusheng, Dean and others looked at each other, their respective pets erupted with a powerful aura, and they nned to defeat these Beast Soul Warriors before they could contact the Ferocious Beasts.
At this moment, an invisible fluctuation suddenly swept over all the Beast Soul Warriors, the previously shining Soul Devices suddenly dimmed, and the faces of these Beast Soul Warriors turned pale, obviously suffering a huge shock.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, they all looked at Schuck beside them, who was busy with a strange device.
¡°All set.¡±
Looking at Schuck¡¯s device working, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
This Soul Device is nothing more than a soul signal amplifier, plus the distance is so far, it was easily interfered with.
¡°Bai Qi, what is this invention of yours?¡±
Looking at the Beast Soul Warriors on the other side who fizzled out, Feng Ye watched Schuck¡¯s device with some surprise.
¡°Nothing much,st time we encountered a Beast Soul Warrior, so I specifically designed an interference device, as of now, it seems to be working well.¡±
Everyone remained silent upon hearing this, a device that could prevent the arrival of legendary ferocious beasts, howe in Bai Qi¡¯s mouth it seemed no different from the air conditioner at home?
Because the summoning device was interrupted, the state of the Beast Soul Warriors was greatly affected. Alpha immediately seized the opportunity, forcibly killed two Martial Souls, and the range of the Death Force Field immediately grew a lotrger.
However, before Alpha could make a move on the remaining few, Li Xusheng and Deanunched their own attacks, obliterating them instantly.
Without their martial souls, the Beast Soul Warriors weakened and fell to the ground, powerless to fight back.
¡°So, what¡¯s the n for getting out of here?¡±
Bai Qi turned to Carl. As the Yixiu family had clearly been here before, the responsibility to discover an exit naturally fell to him.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I did indeed visit this ce in advance, but it was controlled by the family head. We can¡¯t leave on our own,¡±
Carl shook his head, adding, ¡°All we can do now is wait for the family head to lead us out.¡±
Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brows. Although they were in a secret realm separated by ayer from the ck fog serpent, they could tell it was not a creature to be trifled with. If it managed to breach this ce, they would all be doomed.
¡°Didn¡¯t you make it to the next level, Bai Qi? Maybe you have some method to share?¡±
Dean detected Bai Qi¡¯s unease, nced at the vertical pupil on Beta¡¯s head and said, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, doesn¡¯t the eye on your pet¡¯s head have the same origin as the Three-eyed Civilization?¡±
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over. They had all seen the contents of the murals in the stone room, but they hadn¡¯t paid much attention to them because they were focused on the Beast Soul Warriors. Now that Dean had brought it up, they noticed the anomaly of Beta¡¯s third eye.
¡°I did make it to the next level, but would you believe me if I said I don¡¯t know how to open it?¡±
Feng Ye¡¯s face expressed disgust. He did not seem to believe Bai Qi, who could only respond with a helpless sigh.
If he revealed that there was a creature inside that could swallow up even legendary creatures in one gulp, he doubted the group would believe him.
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s explore this ce thoroughly first. Since the obelisk teleported us here, there must be an exit,¡±
Seeing Bai Qi did not n on speaking further, Dean shifted the topic, but before anyone could reply, Li Xusheng suddenly attacked an empty corner.
At the same time, Alpha and Beta also perceived something andunched their attacks at the same corner.
¡°My target isn¡¯t you, get lost.¡±
As Li Xusheng¡¯s attack was about tond, a figure wearing knight armor suddenly appeared, and with a swift kick, sent Li Xusheng flying. Behind the armored knight, a man with his face hidden under a strange mask slowly emerged.
¡°Reinforcements?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the Beast Soul Warrior to the side and furrowed his brows.
Crunch, crunch.
(Boss, he seems to have the power of death too, but it seems different.)
¡°Is that death power again? Didn¡¯t Teacher say it was rare? Howe it¡¯s everywhere now?¡±
Bai Qi was slightly taken aback, but the knight in front of him did not give him any time to react. After sending Husky flying with one punch, he reached for Alpha.
Upon sight of this, Alpha immediately struck with his sword. However, his normally invincible Sword of Death merely left a shallow mark on the knight¡¯s armor, failing to inflict any real damage.
¡°Be careful, this guy might be a legend!¡±
Li Xusheng struggled to get up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The blood tail behind him swung unconstrained as if ready to attack again.
¡°A legend?¡±
Everyone gasped at his words. A legendary creature was not something they were capable of handling at present.
A legend had infiltrated the ce. Could it be that there was another entrance?
Seeing Alpha looking a little worse for wear under the knight¡¯s attacks, Bai Qi clenched his teeth and said, ¡°No matter what, let¡¯s go! Waiting for death isn¡¯t my style.¡±
With that, Bai Qi released all four of his pets, which charged at the knight together.
Although it was just a guess, it seemed that the knight did not attack Alpha as brutally as he did Li Xusheng. Rather, it looked more like he intended to capture Alpha alive.
Considering the energy simr to the power of death emanating from him, this guess seemed considerably urate.
An unknown person trying to steal his pet was not something Bai Qi could sit idle and watch.
However, despite having a few extraordinary pets at his disposal, he was still unable to bridge the gap between them and a legend, barelysting a round against the knight before defeat.
¡°Damn it, Alpha,e back.¡±
Seeing what was happening, Bai Qi attempted to call Alpha back. Not wasting any more time, the knight spread a ck power from his armor, reaching out to grab Alpha.
Howl¡
Just then, a soul-piercing howl emanated from somewhere deep. The torches in the temple suddenly swayed vigorously, pulling everyone¡¯s shadows together at the center of the square. They slowly began to levitate, taking on a human form.
In the end, the shadow solidified into a towering figure ¡ª a wolf-headed man, draped in robes and wielding a metal scepter, stood before them.
¡°Damn it, why wasn¡¯t this thing mentioned in the information?¡±
Seeing this strange creature appear, the man, who had previously appeared indifferent, suddenly changed his expression. The knight immediately gripped Alpha, attempting to retreat back into the shadows behind him.
¡°Motherfu¡ Put him¡¡±
Bai Qi cursed at the sight and was about to forcefully recall Alpha when a gust of wind blew past. The wolf-headed man appeared in front of the knight instantaneously. Before the knight could react, the man smashed his head into the ground with his left hand.
Even the legendary creature couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow from this wolf-headed figure!
Chapter 320: 316: The Second King-level
Chapter 320: Chapter 316: The Second King-level
¡°That¡¯s fierce!¡±
Watching Wolf Head Man¡¯s brutal strike, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips, looking at Beta standing beside him.
They both were wolves, but the gap was so huge!
Woof?
(Is it my fault?)
Beta rolled his eyes in irritation. Whether a pet beast was powerful or not, shouldn¡¯t it be a question for the Beast Master?
¡°But what exactly is this thing? It even beats mythical creatures. Could it be a legend?¡±
Watching the Wolf Head Man slowly rose and turned his gaze to Alpha, Bai Qi quietly recalled Alpha to his side while subtly putting distance between himself and Wolf Head Man.
It wasn¡¯t clear if the Wolf Head Man was friend or foe, so better to keep a safe distance.
¡°Death Knight,e back!¡±
Seeing his pet beast get killed in an instant, the man immediately wanted to summon it back. But the Wolf Head Man clearly wasn¡¯t ready to let him go. Not waiting for the Death Knight to get up, he stomped down again.
But this time, the Death Knight was clearly prepared. As the Wolf Head Man stomped, it used its hands to brace against it, then rolled to the side.
After adjusting its position, the Death Knight returned to the man¡¯s side. ck death force diffused from behind its twisted mask, which made it look somewhat eerie due to Wolf Head Man¡¯s powerful strike.
After seeing the force of death, the aura around Wolf Head Man became dangerous. With a light tap of his right foot, he appeared in front of the Death Knight in an instant, swinging his scepter at him.
Upon seeing this, the Death Knight drew its greatsword to fight back but was still unable to change its situation of being dominated by the Wolf Head Man and soon was defeated.
¡°Damn, I¡¯ll have to abandon the Death Knight.¡±
Upon seeing this, the man gritted his teeth, just about to abandon the Death Knight and retreat when the temple suddenly started shaking violently. Cracks appeared in the pyramid at the top and ck fog started to leak out, groping for something like tentacles.
Holy shit, that thing really came out?
Seeing the familiar ck fog, Bai Qi felt a shiver in his heart.
Awooo¡
Seeing this, the Wolf Head Man immediately gave up his n to kill the Death Knight, leaped towards the top of the pyramid, and started waving his scepter, slicing all the ck fog tentacles. At the same time, he put his hand on the pyramid, and the dark gold energy began to fully repair the pyramid.
Roar!
Seeming to sense the Wolf Head Man¡¯s intention, the ck fog roared in unwillingness, attempting to attack the Wolf Head Man. However, all its attempts were effortlessly repelled by the Wolf Head Man¡¯s scepter.
Finally, the cracks in the pyramid werepletely repaired, and the ck fog snake waspletely repelled. However, it seemed that Wolf Head Man had also consumed a lot of energy; his robust body had be much more transparent.
After the Wolf Head Mannded back on the ground, he took a nce at the empty corner and turned his gaze towards Alpha standing aside.
¡°Damn, when did that guy run away?¡±
Bai Qi silently cursed seeing this. Judging from the previous performance, the Wolf Head Man clearly targeted the Death Force. Now that the Death Knight and the ck fog snake were gone, naturally, Alpha was the only one left with the Death Force.
Seeing this, Alpha wasn¡¯t going to sit and wait for his death. His Death Force Field opened, and he threw all his skills at Wolf Head Man like they were free, but he couldn¡¯t even touch him.
¡°Beta, find the exit quickly. We are not his match!¡±
Awooo!
(I am searching at full capacity!)
Beta¡¯s vertical pupils shone brightly as he attempted to locate an exit. Meanwhile, Schuck activated the Mechanical Lord and bombed Wolf Head Man like crazy, and on the side, Gamma and Delta did their best to try and stop the Wolf Head Man.
¡°I¡¯ll help too!¡±
Feng Ye recognized that Wolf Head Man¡¯s target was also Alpha and directly sent the Earth Elemental to help. Li Xusheng also didn¡¯t want to fall behind and joined in to stop Wolf Head Man.
But even though the condition of Wolf Head Man had declined, for Alpha and the others, he was still incredibly formidable, and no one could withstand a confrontation with him.
¡°Dean, should we help?¡±
Watching Bai Qi¡¯s group struggling before Wolf Head Man, Lilith suddenly asked.
¡°No need, or rather, it¡¯s meaningless to help.¡±
Dean shook his head and said, ¡°The Guardian of the Underworld in the legends, even angels must take it seriously. We would merely add to the chaos.¡±
¡°And, it¡¯s only targeting certain specific creatures.¡±
Saying that, Dean looked deeply at Alpha, who was forced into a corner by Wolf Head Man, a strange glint in his eyes.
What a pity, this heretic wasn¡¯t purified by him.
Rumble¡
Just when Alpha was preparing to fight to the death, the temple shook again. The surrounding torches suddenly dimmed, and the originally transparent body of the Wolf Head Man became even more illusory.
Awoof?
(I think I see something?)
Beta¡¯s eyes brightened, his golden vertical pupils seemed to have seen something through the body of the Wolf Head Man. After receiving the message from Beta, pets like Alpha rushed towards Wolf Head Man and grabbed him. Schuck activated the electromaic cannon and aimed it right at the dark gold heart of Wolf Head Man.
Boom!
The electromaic cannon boomed, the Thunder me Power pierced through Wolf Head Man¡¯s body, but the Wolf Head Man was unscathed, and his dark gold heart was intact.
In contrast, it seemed the actions of Alpha and the others had enraged the Wolf Head Man. Originally only targeting Alpha, he now also started attacking Gamma and Delta without holding back. With a wave of his scepter, he sent all of them flying.
However, before the Wolf Head Man could fully deal with these pesky pests, Beta¡¯s head suddenly appeared in front of him. The golden light in Beta¡¯s vertical pupils made the Wolf Head Man instinctively halt his counter-attack.
Awoof!
Seeing this, a sly glint appeared in Beta¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide and bit the dark gold heart of the Wolf Head Man, swallowing it directly.
Awooo!!!
Having lost his heart, the Wolf Head Man let out a mournful howl. His body again became a shadow and gradually dissipated.
¡°Just like that?¡±
Staring in astonishment at the sudden disappearance of the Wolf Head Man, Bai Qi quickly walked to the Husky, asking, ¡°Beta, don¡¯t you consider what you swallow? Are you feeling anything strange?¡±
Woof woof?
(Strange feeling? I feel quite good, never felt better.)
Saying this, Beta started to run happily around the temple. His spirits were even higher than before they entered.
Just as Bai Qi was about to sigh in relief, Beta¡¯s face stiffened, and he copsed to the ground with his tongue lolling out.
Indeed, you can¡¯t eat recklessly!
Seeing this, Bai Qi hurried forward, preparing to activate Evolution Egg, but the Husky suddenly got up by himself and looked at Bai Qi with indifference.
In a daze, Bai Qi seemed to see the Wolf Head Man again.
¡°Holy sh*t, it didn¡¯t take over him, did it?¡±
Bai Qi shivered, and then a strange image echoed in his mind.
The voice was calm, indifferent, but not the icy cold that disregarded life.
¡°I¡¯m not possessed, I¡¯m still me.¡±
The Husky walked to Bai Qi, tilted his head to look at Schuck, and said, ¡°I¡¯m like Schuck, a split consciousness from Beta¡¯s mind, you don¡¯t need to worry, Master.¡±
Another split personality?
Bai Qi was dumbfounded, but still a little worried, he said, ¡°Was it because of the heart you just ate?¡±
The Husky nodded and said, ¡°Strictly speaking, that wasn¡¯t a heart, but merely the manifestation of some mysterious power, but I was indeed born because of it.¡±
Bai Qi understood, and was about to check Husky¡¯s condition when a dazzling Evolution Light suddenly enveloped Husky¡¯s entire body.
Is this, evolving?
Bai Qi was shocked at first, but then he was filled with tion.
Husky was already a High-grade Lord. Wouldn¡¯t another evolution mean¡
King-level!!!
¡°This is a huge win~¡±
Even though he wasn¡¯t sure what the fungus would evolve into, it was already worth it for Husky to be a King-level.
¡°Is this what King-level feels like?¡±
Seeing the sudden change in Husky, Dean and the others¡¯ expressions changed.
Bai Qi already had a King-level creature, and it hadn¡¯t been that long. Was he about to have a second one?
At this point, Bai Qi wasn¡¯t paying attention to other people¡¯s thoughts, all his focus was on Husky. The other pets also gathered around Husky one by one, waiting for his evolution to end.
Creak creak.
(This aura feels like the Wolf Head Man just now.)
Gurgle gurgle?
(Will Beta evolve into that shape? A double-headed werewolf?)
Blur blur.
(Delta thinks that Beta might grow a third head, bing a three-headed dog?)
¡
While there was a flurry of discussion among the three pets, Bai Qi suddenly shook, and information poured into his soul, apanied by a warm current.
[Skill Name]: Heart of The Death God
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Transformation skill, transforms the user into the form of the Guardian of the Underworld, the Heart of the Death God will guide to victory over any resisting enemy.
¡
Starting with a super skill?
Guardian of the Underworld, does that mean he¡¯ll transform into a Wolf Head Man?
Tsk tsk, it would be so powerful. Schuck-Beta doesn¡¯t need to forcibly transform into a werewolf using the Mechanical Lord.
Thinking about Husky bing powerful in meleebat, Bai Qi was very pleased. In this way, Husky would be equipped with ranged, mid-range, and closebat skills.
Just as Bai Qi was lost in thoughts about Husky¡¯s futurebat form, a st of information flooded his mind.
[Skill Name]: Soul Blessing
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Soul Race, embellishes oneself with the power of the soul, allowing even ordinary physical attacks to directly damage the soul.
¡
¡°This skill is way too effective again the Undead¡¡±
Looking at the description of Soul Blessing, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips.
Once it¡¯s activated, even physical attacks can harm the soul, no wonder the Wolf Head Man¡¯s ordinary attacks caused so much damage to the Death Knight.
Heart of Death Godbined with Soul Blessing, is this the power of the Guardian of the Underworld?
Bai Qi¡¯s mouth widened in a smile, anxiously checking thest piece of information.
He had advanced to the King-level, so naturally, thest one would be a Field Skill.
Chapter 321: 317 - Good and Evil Judges
Chapter 321: Chapter 317 ¨C Good and Evil Judges
Finally, under Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, thest piece of information clearly appeared before him.
[Skill Name]: Judgment Scale
[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level
[Skill Introduction]: It is a force-field skill. The Judgment Scale can judge the souls of creatures within the shrouded range. Those judged guilty will be cursed until their souls dissipate.
¡
Well, it really seems to be a bane for souls.
No, it should be said that it has a certain constraining nature for all creatures with souls.
Finally, with Bai Qi¡¯s anticipation and the curious gaze of others, the light of evolution on Husky¡¯s body finally dissipated, revealing a huge wolf about the size of two adults in front of everyone.
Awoo Awoo!
(What just happened? I suddenly lost consciousness. Could it be because I ate something dirty?)
As soon as Beta woke up, he frantically started digging with his paw in his mouth, seemingly trying to vomit the dark-gold heart he had swallowed earlier.
¡°Silence!¡±
Just then, the indifferent voice echoed again. Beta¡¯s body suddenly stiffened, and his blue eyes cautiously moved towards his left side.
Under Beta¡¯s horrified gaze, a ck soul emerged from where his left shoulder was empty, gradually converging into the shape of a wolf¡¯s head.
The wolf head was ck, and several dark gold lines delineated mysterious patterns on the face, which vaguely resembled the previous Wolf Head Man.
Awoo!!!
(I¡¯m seeing a ghost!!!)
Beta was shocked when he saw this. His fur stood on end, and he wanted to flee, but his legs wouldn¡¯t obey.
¡°I said, keep quiet!!!¡±
Seeing this, the soul wolf head impatiently red at Beta, and Beta immediately closed his mouth, not even daring to move his eyeballs.
This scene seems a bit familiar, doesn¡¯t it?
Seeing Beta¡¯s woeful expression, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. He looked at Schuck, who had been quiet all along, and asked, ¡°Schuck, why aren¡¯t you talking?¡±
¡°Based on the data analysis, the probability of me suppressing him is zero, so silence is the best choice.¡±
¡°Hmm, wise choice.¡±
Bai Qi gave Schuck a thumbs up. He then turned his head to look at the soul head and asked, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re really Beta¡¯s split consciousness now? Could it be that kind of¡ well, you know.¡±
The soul head shook its own head and said, ¡°I¡¯m just a consciousness that spontaneously gave birth to carry the power of the Guardian of the Underworld. There¡¯s no such thing as possession.¡±
¡°As long as it¡¯s not possession, that¡¯s good.¡±
Bai Qi heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, by using the contract, he could feel the connection between himself and the soul head, but he still felt a bit uneasy if he didn¡¯t ask directly.
Looking at the Husky that now had the heads of a machine, a creature, and a soul, Bai Qi nodded slightly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s keep up with the old rules and give you a new name.¡±
¡°Just call me Jerry.¡±
¡°Well, alright.¡±
Seeing that Jerry didn¡¯t give him any room to y, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but feel regretful.
Compared to the rational Schuck, and humorous Beta, Jerry¡¯s independent consciousness seems very strong.
Um, Schuck, Beta, Jerry, somehow these names don¡¯t quite suit this race.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, being stronger is what¡¯s important.
Bai Qi put his hand on Husky¡¯s body, and a surge of new information immediately flooded into his mind.
[Name]: ??? (Schuck, Beta, Jerry)
[Nature]: Mechanical/Spirit/Soul (Spirit Power Variation)
[Growth Level]: Four Stage Seven
[Bloodline Level]: Low King
[Racial skills]: Judgment Scale (Transcendent Level ¨C Beginner), Heart of Death God (Super ¨C Beginner), Soul Blessing (Super ¨C Beginner), Mechanical Lord (Super ¨C Perfect), Mechanical Heart (Super ¨C Skilled), Insight into Everything (Super ¨C Mastery), Demon Subduing Mantra (Super ¨C Mastery), Thunder me Power (High Level ¨C Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 2E4200W
[Condition]: Evolvable
¡
Six super skills, one transcendent skill.
Husky¡¯s skill set can definitely be described as luxurious.
¡°Well done. With this, yourst weakness is finally dealt with,¡± Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction. Then, looking at the three kinds of skills Husky had, he came up with a strange idea.
Does this skillbination seem like Jerry has the tendency to judge and divide the good and the evil ording to their deeds? Those who are righteous will join under Buddha, while evil will be physically eliminated.
¡°That¡¯s it, let¡¯s call you the Good and Evil Judges!¡± Bai Qi immediately decided on Husky¡¯s new name for his new race. He couldn¡¯t wait to try Jerry¡¯s new skill when Jerry suddenly looked to the side.
Feng Ye and his party were staring at Husky¡¯s full makeover, dumbfounded. Their expressions were somewhatplex.
There was envy, jealousy, happiness, but also dissatisfaction.
¡°Congrattions, Bai Qi, you¡¯ve trained your second King-level pet in such a short time.¡±
Dean approached Bai Qi and extended his hand, saying, ¡°The third skull of your pet must have inherited the lineage of the Wolf Head Man, right? Although it seems to be just a crystal of power, it can be considered the inheritance of a mythical creature. It just so happens that our Bo Ge family has some insights on nurturing mythical creatures. Would you like to visit the Bo Ge family when you have time?¡±
¡°Well, we¡¯ll see.¡±
Bai Qi shook Dean¡¯s hand, not giving a direct answer.
Judging from the data about the husky, it does not seem to have be a mythical species, and even if it really was a mythical species, Bai Qi didn¡¯t really want to go to the Bo Ge family.
It¡¯s not that he gave up on the idea of getting the Angel¡¯s Wing. It¡¯s just that immediately after eating one of their Angel¡¯s Wings, Bai Qi felt a bit guilty.
If he genuinely needed advice on nurturing mythical species, Luo Xiang, a freak with a whole team of mythical creatures, was right beside him. He didn¡¯t need to go far.
¡°Okay, I¡¯m looking forward to your visit.¡±
Dean smiled faintly, seemingly not detecting Bai Qi¡¯s rejection. He nced at the pyramid above his head and said, ¡°Since your pet has now inherited the power core of the Wolf Head Man, you should be able to find a way out, right?¡±
Bai Qi was stunned. Thinking about the ck Fog Giant Snake that might appear at any moment, he immediately looked towards Jerry. Jerry nodded and let out a melodious wolf howl. A slender white light immediately appeared from the darkness, looking like the eyes of a devil from afar.
¡°You can control the entrance. Jerry, have you mastered this secret realm?¡±
Jerry shook his head and replied, ¡°I am not the master of this secret realm. Opening the entrance is already my limit.¡±
¡°Alright ¡.¡±
Bai Qi clicked his tongue a bit regretfully but quickly epted the reality.
Although it was a bit disappointing that he couldn¡¯t acquire a mythical secret realm, this secret realm was too dangerous to covet.
Everyone walked into the entrance one after the other, and Bai Qi collected the egg formed by the ck Grass before leaving the secret realm.
The moment Bai Qi return to the outer world, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The Morning Star, the Jiuyou Darkbird, and a Giant Scorpion shining with golden light stood in the void. On the other side of these three legendary creatures, there were also three giant creatures with no weaker presence.
And beneath these six enormous entities, Beast Soul warriors one by one, as well as Beast Masters controlling creatures simr to the Death Knight, were fighting against Beast Masters from various factions.
¡°Was this arge scale invasion by the Ferocious Beast Tribe?¡±
Bai Qi was somewhat bewildered, but Li Xusheng, who seemed to have known already, immediately pulled out a syringe, injected himself, and rushed into the battle field beside Bai Qi.
¡°This exploration was just bait to lure out these rats.¡±
Luo Xiangnded from the sky beside Bai Qi and said, ¡°But the mythical secret realm was real. How was it? Did you gain anything?¡±
Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help rolling his eyes and muttered, ¡°Should I say I almost lost my life?¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged innocently, ¡°It¡¯s not my fault. You were marked by the Obelisk. If you encounter a life-threatening crisis, you will be teleported out.¡±
The corner of Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. Should he tell Luo Xiang that the Sun Beetle shell, which seemed to be the energy source of the Obelisk, had been absorbed by the ck Grass, and that the mark might not work? Besides, could the mark really work in front of the legendary creatures?
Bai Qi told Luo Xiang about the Death Knight, and Luo Xiang¡¯s face changed after hearing this.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would be a back-door controlled by the Death Round Table. No wonder they dared tounch such a reckless attack knowing that there were three Titled Legends. It turns out they had other ns.¡±
¡°Death Round Table?¡±
The image of the Death Knight suddenly emerged in Bai Qi¡¯s mind. It did look a bit like a medieval knight¡¯s armor.
¡°It seems we need to re-evaluate the strength of the Death Round Table.¡±
Luo Xiang looked serious and said, ¡°We¡¯ll discuss the detailster. For now, let¡¯s get rid of these guys.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, but seeing the densely packed Beast Soul warriors below, his scalp felt numb.
¡°With so many Beast Soul warriors, do we have enough people?¡±
Luo Xiang smiled faintly, pointed to the sky, and said, ¡°Of course we can¡¯t rely on us alone. Do you think the Net is just for disy?¡±
As soon as his words fell, numerous teleportation doors suddenly appeared around the Yixiu family. d in full armor, rows of Broken Army armors walked out in an orderly fashion, quickly surrounding the Beast Soul warriors.
¡°If not for the purpose of eliminating these rats in the Federation, do you think they could enter here in suchrge numbers under the watch of the Net?¡±
Luo Xiang patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. For the future peace of humankind, don¡¯t hold back.¡±
With that, Luo Xiang mounted the North Eagle and charged towards the Beast Soul warriors.
¡°This is really¡ cliche¡¡±
Thinking back to being roped into arge mission just by being invited to an exploration, Bai Qi felt somewhat dazed.
However, it was just a mythical secret realm, why were his teachers so sure that it could attract these people?
Unless ¡
It was because of the ck Fog Giant Snake?
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and then temporarily threw the question to the back of his mind. He then led his pets and joined the battle.
Perfect, he had been looking for a ce to test Jerry¡¯s new skills. Now, weren¡¯t these free targets being delivered to his door?
Beast Soul warriors, martial souls.
These were firmly restrained by Jerry.
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s create a ruckus!¡±
Chapter 322: 318: Catching the Turtle in the Jar
Chapter 322: Chapter 318: Catching the Turtle in the Jar
Upon receiving Bai Qi¡¯s instructions, apart from Delta, whose energy had been overly consumed earlier, the other three beasts all rushed out. Naturally, the first one to attack was the husky that had just advanced to the King level.
A three-headed giant wolf jumped right off the mountaintop, and beforending, the left Soul Head clung onto Beta¡¯s head like armor, dying it ck. Simultaneously, its body quickly transformed, gradually bing of human shape.
At the same time, on the right side, Schuck gradually melted, turning into a metal war dress that wrapped their bodies and condensed a metal staff in his right hand.
From afar, it looked just like the wolf-headed guardians in the temple.
¡°So they did get the myth inheritance¡¡±
Seeing this, Dean slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, and the Holy Light Angel immediately spread its wings and descended. Everywhere it passed, Martial Souls melted like snow.
The appearance of the Holy Light Angel caused a great disturbance among the Beast Soul Warriors. But before they could react, their attention was drawn to another direction.
A humanoid creature with a staff in hand and a ck wolf head from the sky. Just a single howl made the surrounding Beast Soul Warriors feel unstable, as if they would lose connection with their Martial Souls at any moment.
Not only that, but right afternding, Jerry made a few swift attacks. Though they seemed ordinary, each one managed to inflict tangible harm on the Martial Souls.
The Heart of Death God endowed the husky with a strong sense ofbat and battle form, and the Soul Blessing gave the Husky the power to directly damage souls. This configuration was a natural counter against the Beast Soul Warriors who relied on their Martial Souls in battle.
Perhaps stimted by the husky¡¯s brilliant performance, Alpha¡¯s will to fight was ignited, and he directly killed into the ranks of the Death Round Table with his flying swords wrapped around him.
In contrast to Martial Souls, these armor knights with a close rtionship with the Power of Death could attract Bai Qi¡¯s attention more.
Click, click, where did Gamma go?
Looking at the empty battlefield around him, Gamma was somewhat at a loss, until he saw a few Beast Masters who were powerless to resist the enemy¡¯s attack. He then got into the spirit and started to do his old job.
(Healing and defense are indeed simpler. As for fighting and such, it¡¯s tooplicated. It doesn¡¯t suit Gamma.)
¡
Above the sky.
Bai Heguang scanned the battlefield below, and when he saw the performance of Bai Qi¡¯s beasts, a touch of unnoticeable relief shed in his eyes, which was quickly reced by sharpness.
Bai Heguang¡¯s gaze was cold as he looked at the Nine-tailed White Fox in front of him and said, ¡°You dare to intrude into the Federation¡¯s hearnd, does your tribe intend to wage war against the Federation?¡±
The white fox drooped its eyelids slightly and spoke, ¡°The Celestial Brilliance misunderstands, I, the concubine, just heard that my n¡¯s heritage has emerged here and wanted toe to witness it. Since it¡¯s a misunderstanding, I, the concubine, will leave now.¡±
¡°Well well¡ Beautifuldy, how about joining me for a cup of tea? If we don¡¯t properly entertain our guests, that would be a vition of our human etiquette.¡±
Upon hearing these words, Wang Chen showed a sunny smile.
Sir Starlight¡¯s kindness is appreciated, ma¡¯am, but I still have some things to do, so I won¡¯t bother you any longer. Excuse me.¡±
The Nine-tailed White Fox bowed to the three of them and immediately nned to retreat, only to find the Jiuyou Darkbird suddenly blocking her way.
¡°Since you¡¯vee all the way, why not leave something behind?¡±
As soon as the words fell, the world suddenly lost its color. Ferocious beasts, humans, even clouds all turned grayish-white. The Legendary Ferocious Beasts, led by the White Fox, immediately felt their bodies, energy, and even souls gradually entering a state of silence.
¡°Netherworld Realm¡ah¡¡±
The White Fox sighed lightly. Behind her, the nine white tails shook, and a white domain suddenly opened up, which could only protect herself and the twopanions beside her and couldn¡¯t extend any further.
¡°It¡¯s too suffocating. Since I¡¯m here, I have to make a big fuss!¡±
A me Giant Tiger who could no longer bear to see the situation, roared, and a cloud of burning blue me appeared instantly, floating towards the Federation Army and Beast Masters below.
But before the blue clouds couldnd, a gold giant scorpion blocked its way and punctured all those blue clouds with a continuous sting from its tail needle.
Malik¡¯s face remained calm as he looked at the pissed-off Giant Tiger and said, ¡°This is the territory of the Yixiu family, mind your manners.¡±
¡°Well, well, well¡ you were the ones who were rude first, so don¡¯t me me for any consequences.¡±
Still that sunny smile, but coupled with the Morning Star Mech that had just turned into a doomsday cannon behind him, Wang Chen¡¯s smile seemed incredibly dangerous.
¡°It seems, we can¡¯t settle this peacefully today.¡±
The White Fox sighed lightly and looked at the giant eagle beside her, who understood immediately. A gust of wind swept across the whole battlefield, and then the giant eagle rushed straight into the sky along this wind.
¡°They have a short memory¡¡±
Seeing this, Wang Chen narrowed his eyes instantly, and a horrifying energy sted from the Morning Star¡¯s doomsday cannon, shooting straight into the sky.
Almost instantly, a giant eagle with its body charred ck fell from the sky.
Seeing this scene, the me Giant Tiger also realized the difference and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but found the Jiuyou Darkbird suddenly blocking its way. The White Fox, who should have been confronting Jiuyou, had disappeared without a trace.
¡°Bastard! I¡¯ll tear you to pieces when I get back!¡±
The me Giant Tiger roared towards the sky, but before its voice could spread out, it waspletely annihted within the Netherworld Realm.
¡°Is it really okay to let that White Fox go? She¡¯s the main strategist for the Ferocious Beasts. Isn¡¯t it a bit wasteful not to keep her since she ventured out this time by herself?¡±
Malik looked at the disappearing Silver and asked.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. This operation was to clean out a group of rats. If we can solve two Legendary Ferocious Beasts on the way, it¡¯s already a big harvest, so there¡¯s no need topletely fall out with the tribe.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, looking down at the forces of the Death Round Table and saying, ¡°However, the Death Round Table should be investigated thoroughly. There aren¡¯t supposed to be so many people in the intelligence.¡±
¡°Leave it to me, the snare has begun screening, we should have results promptly.¡±
Wang Chen put away the Morning Star and looked towards the distinctly dimmed obelisk on the side, ¡°But what should we do with the Sun Secret Realm? From its looks, whatever¡¯s inside will probablye out soon.¡±
¡°It can¡¯te out.¡±
Bai Heguang shook his head, nced at Malik on the side, who understood immediately. Hemanded the Golden Giant Scorpion to the front of the obelisk; its golden tail pin inserted into therge eye rune.
In an instant, the obelisk emitted intense light. Bai Qi and the others felt the cliff underfoot shake. The obelisk had returned to the ground and looked unchanged from the beginning.
Except for the scattered remnants of the knight¡¯s armor on the ground and the beast soul warriors captured one by one.
Looking at the mess around him, it was the first time Bai Qi truly understood the strength of the Federation.
Mechanized military pet beasts, Starry Sky Gate transport, snare¡¯sprehensive surveince.
Trying to cause any trouble on Federation soil was really a bit difficult.
But what concerned Bai Qi the most was the performance of his teacher and Wang Chen.
Legendary ferocious beasts from the tribes couldn¡¯t even withstand a single move from their pet beasts. How could there be such arge gap between creatures of the same legend?
The dust quickly settled. All beast soul warriors were captured, but those from the Death Round Table lost consciousness the moment they fell. Obviously, they had nned this.
¡°How does it feel to be involved in such a big event for the first time?¡±
Luo Xiang descended from the sky, smiling as he looked at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi nced at the three Titled Legends above who seemed to be consulting about something, ¡°Not bad, but the lineup seems a bit luxurious.¡±
Titled Legendary, that was already the Federation¡¯s topbat power. It was considered lucky to see one on ordinary days, but now three had gathered at once. It seemed a bit exaggerated no matter how you looked at it.
¡°That¡¯s as expected, after all, this operation is not just for the tribes.¡±
Luo Xiang smiled, casting a barely noticeable nce at the Bo Ge family on the side.
Was it to intimidate these major ns in the west?
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood and remembered the rumors about the western ns.
Turns out, they wereing to flex their muscles.
But it didn¡¯t matter, as long as the Mythical Secret Realm was real. After all, he also benefitted a bit.
He nces at the still sleeping beetle grass in the Secret Realm Base. Bai Qi was full of anticipation.
How could the shell shed by the Mythical creature be inferior to Jerry?
¡°Okay, we¡¯ve had enough fun for today. Go rest. Bai Chuanqi and the others will probablye and ask you about the conditions in the Secret Realm.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, he was fine, but his few pet beasts seemed a bit exhausted from the day¡¯s events. It was time for a good rest.
¡
Nile City Association.
¡°Thank you, both of you.¡±
Bai Qi dismounted from a Broken Army, waved his hand at the two Federal soldiers who had escorted him back, showing his gratitude.
Due to the operation to exterminate the hidden beast soul warriors, the entire Nile City had been taken over by the army. Even Bai Qi, as a legendary disciple, needed to return to the Association under the supervision of the army.
However, Bai Qi didn¡¯t mind this. Free rides were always wee.
Once back in his room, Bai Qi immediately entered the Secret Realm Base.
The Husky that had just evolved into King-level seemed to have inexhaustible energy, romping around the Secret Realm. Whereas Jerry didn¡¯t seem to care about stopping it, just quietly recharging his energy with his eyes closed.
On the contrary, it was Alpha, standing quietly in its training ground, staring at the Sword of Death in a trance.
¡°What¡¯s wrong, Alpha? Did you get hurt in the battle just now?¡±
Click ck click ck.
£¨No boss, I was just thinking, what exactly was on those armors, and that ck fog serpent¡£©
Alpha didn¡¯t finish its sentence, but Bai Qi clearly felt Alpha¡¯s emotions.
Curiosity, astonishment.
But most of all, it was fear stemming from its bloodline.
This fear didn¡¯te from the Undead n, but from the Power of Death that Alpha had mastered.
¡°Could that ck fog serpent be the source of the Power of Death?¡±
Bai Qi slightly frowned, thinking of the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm, then the Mythical Secret Realm. All these powerful realms showed traces of the Power of Death. Perhaps he should find a chance to learn more from his teacher.
¡°I¡¯ll ask when the teacheres back.¡±
Chapter 323: 219: The Mythical Bloodline of the Caterpillar Fungus
Chapter 323: Chapter 219: The Mythical Bloodline of the Caterpir Fungus
After confirming that his four pets were unharmed, Bai Qi started to check on the condition of the marigold.
Compared to the Golden Egg, the tinum Egg took longer to maintain, so Bai Qi couldn¡¯t ascertain the condition of the marigold for a while. However, judging from the feedback of the contract, the marigold should be in good shape.
¡°Could it directly evolve Alpha to King-level?¡±
Bai Qi daydreamed involuntarily. The marigold was originally a fusion of two high-grade Lord creatures. Boosting it with a catalyst to promote straight to King-level seemed not impossible.
¡°Ahhh¡ I really want to break the eggshell and see what¡¯s inside.¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, suddenly thought of something, and quickly ran back to the biology building to inspect the ancient species embryos he got from his parents.
Just like at the Jiuli Group, no matter what tests Delta performed on this egg, the result was always the same ¡ª it showed no signs of life.
Jerry sniffed the fossil egg and said, ¡°I can feel a faint soul inside the egg, but it won¡¯tst long.¡±
¡°It has already developed a soul?¡±
Bai Qi was pleasantly surprised at this. No wonder he felt something different about this egg ¨C it already had a soul.
¡°Is there any way to bring it back to life?¡±
Faced with Bai Qi¡¯s expectant gaze, Jerry shook his head and said, ¡°I am only capable of sensing the existence of a soul. I can¡¯t do anything else.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi sighed regretfully. He almost forgot that Jerry was a new personality split from Beta¡¯s consciousness. What Beta didn¡¯t know, he naturally didn¡¯t know either.
Boo Boo.
(Master, shall I give it a try?)
Delta walked over to a storage box nearby, took out a bottle of green potion, and brought it to Bai Qi.
¡°No. 5 Compound? What¡¯s that?¡±
Bai Qi curiously took the No. 5 Compound and looking at thebel, he asked.
(This was actually researched by your parents using the blood of the Ancestral Beast. It¡¯s a kind of catalyst that can increase the adaptability and integration of pet cells.)
¡°Hmm¡ Could you simplify that?¡±
(It can aid in evolution and increase the chances of other pets evolving.)
Bai Qi was astonished. He didn¡¯t expect his parents to have researched something like this ¨C an evolution aid, it was somewhat simr to his Evolution Egg.
¡°Could this thing help the ancient species resurrect?¡±
Boo Boo.
(This catalyst can help ancient species adapt to the current environment. Theoretically, it can.)
Delta nodded and then activated aputer next to him, disying all of his research data for Bai Qi.
The level of expertise wasparable to a biological expert.
(But this was made from my own blood, and I have made some minor modifications. This is the fifth version, so it¡¯s called No. 5 Compound.)
¡°Oh my, you¡¯re trying to outsmart your beast master.¡±
Bai Qi stared in astonishment at Delta¡¯s research report. The core content was about the reason the Ancestral Beast could evolve freely, and Delta¡¯s guess was simr to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu¡¯s.
In addition to the preservation of the original gene sequence of the Ancestral Beast, the Ancestral Beast can secrete a substance to promote their integration with other energies and substances.
(Since the embryo still contains a soul, it might be possible to use the No. 5 Compound to stimte the vitality of the embryo, though I haven¡¯t experimented with it, so I don¡¯t know if it will work.)
¡°No worries, we can give it a shot.¡±
Bai Qi waved his hands. ording to Jerry, the soul inside this embryo will dissipate soon, so he was willing to give it a shot. Maybe there were still some chances of resurrection.
¡°But, can a fossil embryo be injected?¡±
Looking at the ancient species embryo with its surface still resembling a fossil, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help scratching his head.
¡°Shall we soak it first and see?¡±
As soon as he thought of it, he told Delta to get all the remaining No. 5 Compound. He poured it into the culture box, and carefully ced the ancient species embryo into it.
The green potion quickly submerged the fossil egg, and bubbles emerged. Apart from that, there were no other movements.
On the contrary, there was some fluctuation on the nearby life detection device.
¡°It seems like it might work!¡±
Bai Qi was thrilled to see this. The signal was weak, but life was indeed detected in the fossil egg.
In other words, Delta¡¯s research was a sess.
¡°The No. 5 Compound is indeed amazing, Delta.¡±
Bai Qi patted Delta¡¯s head. His pet¡¯s intelligence was truly ahead of the others. His learning ability was even matching that of a beast master.
¡°Wait a second, Delta, didn¡¯t you mention earlier that the No. 5pound can assist the Ancestral Beasts to integrate with external energy? Is that correct?¡±
Boo Boo.
(Theoretically, yes.)
¡°Can it also be used to promote mechanobiological fusion?¡±
Delta remained silent. He had only conducted the research to find out the evolutionary principle of the Ancestral Beast, to find why he couldn¡¯t maintain his evolved form for long. He hadn¡¯t considered this perspective.
¡°What the hell, let¡¯s give it a shot.¡±
Bai Qi was suddenly intrigued and decided to try immediately.
Crack.
At this moment, a sound of eggshell cracking entered Bai Qi¡¯s ears. His eyes lit up, and he immediately ran next to the tinum Egg of the marigold.
He thought it would be a long time before the marigold would wake up, but he didn¡¯t expect it to happen so soon.
At this moment, a crack had appeared on the tinum Egg, and a soft sunlight was peeking out of the crack. Looking at it, it was as if dawn had just broken.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help but smirk. This feeling, although it was iparable to the Sun Beetle shell, the aura was indeed of the same origin.
The cracks gradually increased, and the seeping sun rays became more and more dazzling.
Finally, the tinum Eggs burst open, revealing a miniature sun before their eyes, making it difficult for Bai Qi to even keep his eyes open.
As the golden light finally dissipated, a beetle with a golden body and two colorful tentacles on its head appeared before them.
¡°Epsilon?¡±
Gazing at the significantly transformed beetle, Bai Qi questioned somewhat uncertainly.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s query, the beetle seemed to awaken from a dream and immediately ran to Bai Qi.
¡°Leader, do you have any orders?¡±
His thoughts were alright.
Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily and said, ¡°How do you feel right now? Have you gained any inherited memories or the like?¡±
¡°Inheritance?¡±
The beetle seemed a little bewildered, after trying to meditate andprehend, it opened its mouth a little hesitantly, ¡°It seems like there is, but it seems like there isn¡¯t¡¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched, toozy to inquire further, he directly put his hand on the beetle.

[Skill Description]: As a manifestation of the sun in the world, creatures possessing the Sun Wheel can directly obtain energy from the sun to enhance themselves. As long as the sun doesn¡¯t die out, life is inexhaustible.
¡
Transcendent Skill!
He originally thought that only Alpha would gain a Transcendent Skill at Lord level, but he hadn¡¯t expected the beetle to also enjoy this privilege.
Mythical creatures, truly terrifying.
¡°So this is the skill acquired from a mythical creature?¡±
Bai Qi smacked his lips, ¡®As long as the sun doesn¡¯t die out, life is inexhaustible.¡¯
Isn¡¯t this just a version of the powered-up insect?
Uh, wouldn¡¯t the analogy invite a beating?
Let¡¯s try again, it should be photosynthesis in the insect world.
Bai Qi scratched his head. The description of this skill was very simple, but considering its transcendent-level rank, he figured the effect should not be bad.
¡°Just sunbathing can slowly enhance oneself, this is just a standard feature of daydreaming.¡±
Bai Qi looked at the beetle somewhat enviously. However, it¡¯s a pity that this was the Beast Master World. If it had been some other world, this ability would have been great for surviving.
Start with Sun Wheel, can I level up whileying down?
¡°However, even mythical creatures couldn¡¯t allow you to evolve. Should I say you¡¯re unlucky, or was the Sun Beetle shell insufficient?¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s disappointed expression, the beetle hurriedly exined, ¡°Sorry, Leader, the energy from the Sun Beetle shell was just too strong, I simply couldn¡¯t absorb all of it. It seems all of that energy was used to modify my bloodline.¡±
¡°Modify your bloodline?¡±
Bai Qi was momentarily startled, only then noticing the suffix ¡®Mythical Species¡¯ added to the beetle¡¯s nature column.
¡°Moreover, it seems like I have gained some memories, but I haven¡¯t had time to digest them, so¡¡±
The beetle cautiously nced at Bai Qi and said, ¡°But I will work hard to digest them and strive to apply these memories.¡±
Modify the bloodline, memories.
Isn¡¯t this the bloodline inheritance only legendary bloodlines like Nichs have?
¡°It¡¯s fine, haste makes waste, you can digest them slowly, try not to waste this inheritance.¡±
Bai Qi pat the beetle¡¯s head, though it hadn¡¯t directly advanced to the King-level, being able to elevate its bloodline to that of a Mythical Species improved its potential strength, which was pretty good.
Speaking of which, the dream of a Mythical Species hade true much faster than he had thought, and it turned out to be his fifth contracted pet.
¡°However, it seems like we¡¯ve found a way to acquire the mythical bloodline.¡±
Bai Qi grinned, acquiring the mythical species¡¯ bloodline just by blending the tissue of mythical creatures, that was incredibly simple!
He had to ask Instructor Luo if there were any other secret territories rted to mythical creaturester. Maybe he could also enhance the bloodlines of Alpha and the others.
¡°Ah, the gains are bountiful, truly bountiful.¡±
Husky had evolved into a King-level, and the beetle had gotten a Mythical Species and had also prematurely mastered a transcendent skill. The gains this time were indeed abundant.
¡°Everyone, rest for a while, and let¡¯s ask the teacher about the Death Round Table after the dust settles tomorrow.¡±
Bai Qi rubbed his temples, put a tinum Egg on each of his five pets, then returned to his own room to sleep soundly.
Experiencing so many battles in one day, plus the consumption of setting eggs, he was indeed a bit exhausted.
Chapter 324: 320: Death Round Table
Chapter 324: Chapter 320: Death Round Table
¡°Nile City Association.
Bai Heguang hurriedly walked through the gate, looking dusty from the road.
Even though everything had gone ording to n, tidying up after the mess still took a significant amount of time. As the person primarily responsible for this operation, Bai Heguang had been busy until dawn before he could rest.
¡°Teacher, are you just getting back?¡±
Bai Qi stepped out of his room, looking surprised at Bai Heguang who was approaching him.
¡°Yes, I just finished wrapping up everything.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, ¡°You performed quite well this time. Judging from the state of your twin pets, have you inherited something from the Sun Secret Realm?¡±
¡°It seems that it¡¯s not an inheritance from the Sun Secret Realm, but I did indeed gain some advantages.¡±
Bai Qi shook his head, the original shape of Jerry was obviously the guardian of the temple. If someone received an inheritance from the Sun Secret Realm, it should be the beetles.
¡°I see.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded understandingly, remained silent for a moment, then said, ¡°Come with me.¡±
After that, Bai Heguang led the way to his residence.
¡°You seem to have reached a deeper level in the Sun Secret Realm, haven¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Heguang got straight to the point.
¡°Yes, the mythical-ss resources that the Thirteenth Bureau gave me earlier have some connection with the Sun Secret Realm, which unexpectedly opened the next level¡¯s entrance.¡±
Bai Qi briefly informed Bai Heguang about his experiences in the Sun Secret Realm. After listening, Bai Heguang fell into a deep silence.
¡°You want to know about the Power of Death and the Death Round Table, don¡¯t you?¡±
Bai Qi nodded. He initially thought the Power of Death was scarce, but based on yesterday¡¯s battle, it seemed like a mass-produced weapon?
After a pause, Bai Heguang said, ¡°Now that you are already a Fifth Stage Beast Master, it¡¯s okay to tell you these things.¡±
¡°The giant ck fog snake you saw in the Sun Secret Realm is the origin of the Power of Death, but that¡¯s not all there is.¡±
¡°The World Destroying Snake, Demon Star, Twilight of the Gods, Susano. Different gods of destruction in various mythologies actuallye from the same source. During the Federation era, we gave them a unified name.¡±
¡°Death.¡±
¡°Death? Is it because of the Power of Death?¡±
Realization dawned on Bai Qi. No wonder he encountered the Power of Death in both the Emperor¡¯s Secret Realm and the Sun Secret Realm, twopletely unrted ces. He didn¡¯t expect the Power of Death to have such origins.
Bai Heguang nodded, ¡°The origin of Death is still unknown. Yet, looking at the information we have collected, the premature demise of mythical creatures, ancient creatures, as well as several Great Emperors in human history, all have connections with Death.¡±
¡°For this reason, there have always been people worshipping the god of destruction since ancient times. Although leaders from various eras have tried to suppress it, they never seeded in eliminating them.¡±
¡°So, is this Death Round Table a cult of the Federation era?¡±
Bai Qi asked, understanding the situation. He suddenly thought of something, ¡°The Death Round Table invaded together with the tribe this time, is it for the ¡®Death¡¯ in the Sun Secret Realm?¡±
¡°Correct.¡±
At this point, a hint of apology appeared on Bai Heguang¡¯s face, ¡°Actually, the information about there being something rted to Death in the Sun Secret Realm was fake news we released. We didn¡¯t expect that part of the origin of Death would be sealed inside. Despite being protected by the obelisk, it was somewhat risky to face Death.¡±
¡°I see, this mythical secret realm is really about luring the enemy deeper and flexing muscles.¡±
Bai Qi mumbled, no wonder President Qin was so concerned earlier. It turned out it wasn¡¯t the danger in the mythical secret realm that worried him, but this particr situation.
¡°However, the strength of the Death Round Table did exceed our expectations. They managed to find another entrance under the watch of the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association. It¡¯s truly worth a thorough investigation.¡±
Bai Heguang¡¯s expression turned cold. This time, the Death Round Table sent only some small mobs to attack the Yixiu family together with the tribes, but secretly sent a Legend into the Sun Secret Realm. Their intentions were obvious.
The tribes were used as pawns¡
¡°But your performance this time did surprise me. Your twin pets have reached King-level, haven¡¯t they?¡±
Bai Heguang looked at Husky, with three heads of different attributes ¨C mechanical, biological, and undead ¨C on one body. It was strange, yet harmonious.
¡°Three-eyed Civilization, Guardian of the Underworld¡ The potential of your pet is no less than some mythical species. It¡¯s worth cultivating.¡±
Looking intently at Husky, Bai Heguang said, ¡°However, for now, you should focus on your main pet. Beasts with the Power of Death will not be easily overlooked by the Death Round Table. The best way is to quickly improve your strength.¡±
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Heguang took out a green feather and handed it to Bai Qi, ¡°This is a resource obtained from the Legendary giant eagle. I believe it could help your main pet, who also has wind attribute skills, to improve.¡±
¡°Thank you, teacher!¡±
The sight of the resource made Bai Qi¡¯s eyes light up. Resources obtained from legendary ferocious beasts were definitely mythical grade.
¡°The strength of the Death Round Table is currently unknown, so don¡¯t run around for the time being. It¡¯s better to return to Gusu City as soon as possible. Once I finish dealing with things here, I will also stay in Gusu City for a while. Your main pet¡¯s application of the Power of Death is still a bit rough. It needs to be properly trained.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Thus far, apart from the annihting attribute of the Power of Death, he and Alpha managed to develop another ability that allowed them to store the souls of the killed in the Sword of Death. But apart from these, they had nothing else.
¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t have anything else, you should go. I have some issues to deal with.¡±
Bai Heguang dismissed him. Without making any more small talk, Bai Qi left straight away.
He was initially considering where to get some mythical-level resources. Now that his teacher had provided him with one directly, it was naturally best to digest it as soon as possible.
¡
At the Secret Realm Base.
Bai Qi summoned all five pets to his side, then took out the green feather.
[Material Name]: Pursuing Wind Feather
[Material Level]: Mythical Level
[Material Introduction]: The power core from the legendary wind bird species, a symbol of the wind spirits.
[Material Effect]: Can acquire: 1. Pursuing Wind Power (Super Skill £?%), 2. Wind Shear (High-stage Skills £?%), 3. Wind Affinity (Talent £?%), 4. Bloodline Strengthening (Bloodline £?%)
¡
As expected, it was a mythical resource.
Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily but did not hastily let Alpha use it. Instead, he put it away, saying, ¡°So, ording to the old rules, it¡¯s time to prepare for the second round of mythical resource contention battle.¡±
¡°Mythical resource contention battle?¡±
The neer, Wormgrass, asked matously.
¡°It¡¯s simple. Besides the first mythical resource being the basic welfare for each of you pets, the distribution of consecutive resources requires conducting an internal battle to decide the usage order.¡±
Bai Qi said, ¡°Epsilon, you swallowed the Sun Beetle¡¯s shell, so you¡¯ve used your basic welfare. As for this first round of resources, the other pets have already used theirs, so you¡¯re in luck. There¡¯s no need to fight for it.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, Wormgrass immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he was shocked at Bai Qi¡¯s casual talk about mythical resources, if he genuinely had to contradict those pets, Wormgrass would feel a little flustered.
¡°So, who wants to sign up for the second round of contention battle?¡±
Bai Qi waved the Pursuing Wind Feather in his hand and two figures stepped forward simultaneously.
Crrrrack. Crrrrack.
(Boss, I¡¯m in.)
Woof woof!
(I shall wash away my past disgrace today!)
Both King-level creatures spoke at once. Seeing each other, they were filled with the adrenaline rush of battle.
Thud thud.
(Gamma is not interested in eating eagle feathers.)
Plop plop.
(Wind abilities don¡¯t work well with Delta, and Delta can¡¯t beat them, so it won¡¯t participate either.)
Seeing the sudden tension between Alpha and the Husky, Gamma and Delta unanimously decided to forfeit.
Fighting against King-level creatures for resources, they weren¡¯t that foolish.
¡°I see¡Then, the contest entries for the second round of resource contention battle are Alpha, Schuck, Beta, Jerry¡never mind, I¡¯ll just call you dog from now on. That name is too long.¡±
Bai Qi announced the list of contestants; the twin pets¡¯ momentum instantly broke out. Just as they were about to make a move, they were halted by Bai Qi.
¡°Are you trying to wreck the house? Can¡¯t you show some consideration as King-level creatures?¡±
Bai Qi red at the twin pets discontentedly, everything in the Secret Realm Base was his hard-earned possessions. If these two oafs wrecked it, he wouldn¡¯t know where to vent his grievances.
Listening to Bai Qi, the twin pets stopped reluctantly, and obediently followed Bai Qi to the Nile City Association¡¯s battleground.
Though it wasn¡¯t as bustling as other cities, the Nile City Association¡¯s facilities were top-notch; naturally, it included a battleground with a space barrier.
Bai Qi cranked up the power level of the space barrier to its maximum, then let out the twin pets after ensuring there were no problems and said, ¡°You can begin now.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, the twin pets, who had been itching to start,unched their attack.
Alpha, as usual, started with a fast attack; aided by the wind wings, Alpha swooped toward the Husky in a gust of wind, charging the Sword of Death directly at the Husky¡¯s face.
Ding!
However, Jerry¡¯s reaction was swift too. He took control of his body the moment Alpha attacked, switched to Defender mode, and used his scepter to fend off the Sword of Death in real-time.
Although the Etherium Liquid Gold forged scepter was quite sturdy, it appeared rather weak in front of the Sword of Death. Even though it sessfully blocked the sh of the Sword of Death, a clear sword mark appeared on the scepter.
But Alpha¡¯s assault was not limited to this one strike.
At the moment when the first attack was blocked, the Sword of Deathpletely disappeared. Bai Qi could barely see the ck afterimages left by the strikes.
But he didn¡¯t let Jerry outshine him. Even though his speed couldn¡¯t keep up with Alpha¡¯s, he managed to fend off every attack utilizing his powerful spirit prowess and the martial skills brought by the Heart of Death God.
¡°For being able to stand up to Alpha in closebat like this, the dog has indeed reached new heights.¡±
Bai Qi nodded at the sight and the next moment, the battle shifted.
The scepter was split in two by the Sword of Death, but Alpha didn¡¯t keep pressing. Instead, he deliberately retracted, creating distance between him and the Husky.
Beta¡¯s Spirit st.
Chapter 325: 321: Dismantling the Association~
Chapter 325: Chapter 321: Dismantling the Association~
In Alpha¡¯s spiritual vision, a shining golden sphere of Spirit Power suddenly appeared in front of him, and it immediately exploded.
If he hadn¡¯t dodged quickly, this attack would have directly hit his soul.
After splitting from Jerry, the Husky¡¯s control over Spirit Power had evidently improved, as previously he was incapable of this silent yet precise Spirit st.
However, Alpha¡¯s retreating actions seemed to fall within Husky¡¯s expectations. The moment Alpha started to maintain distance, two Electromaic Cannons suddenly emerged from Husky¡¯s shoulder armor, firing at Alpha.
Given Alpha¡¯s speed, these shots naturally missed their target. After easily dodging, Alpha actively released a Mirror Image, grasped the Undying me Sword, and bothunched simultaneous attacks on the Husky.
The Mirror Image had no soul and would shatter instantly if injured. Unless the Husky could attack from both sides or correctly identify the real entity, the moment his judgment failed could prove his defeat.
Confronted with Alpha¡¯s attack, the Husky didn¡¯t hesitate at all. His shoulder-mounted Electromaic Cannons targeted in different directions whilst the staff in his hand was restored, choosing one direction to attack.
Since he couldn¡¯t choose between them, he simply chose not to choose.
Swiftly, a liquid soul body spread over his staff. The effects of Soul Blessing were driven to the maximum by Jerry. Even before contact, Alpha could sense that this attack would directly target his soul.
At the same time, the golden light from Beta¡¯s vertical pupil shone brightly, and the golden Spirit Power gathered again, locking onto the Mirror Image on the other side.
Both attacks were aimed at the soul¡ªit was absolutely foolproof.
Indeed, under the st of the Spirit explosion, the Mirror Image shattered instantly, and Jerry exerted more force with his arms. The original white staff turned ck under Soul Blessing and hit Alpha¡¯s Sword of Death with full strength.
Bang!
The terrifying impact stirred a violent wind in the battlefield, while an equally powerful spirit impact surged towards Alpha in the spiritual world unseen by ordinary people.
In an instant, Alpha¡¯s eye sockets trembled violently with the Fire of Soul, and the Sword of Death slipped from his hands, indicating that the soul had suffered a direct hit.
Awwooo!
(Did I finally defeat the nasty Skull!)
Seeing his move had caused Alpha to let go of the Sword of Death, Beta couldn¡¯t help but get excited. However, Jerry frowned and said, ¡°Shut up, it¡¯s still early.¡±
Meanwhile, Alpha, who should have lost a direct confrontation and was reorganizing his attack, shattered like a mirror image. At Husky¡¯s feet, a Crystal Skeleton emerged from the shadows, grabbed the Sword of Death, and charged at Husky.
Both of those were Mirror Images!
¡°As expected.¡±
With a cold smile, Jerry leaped to evade the Sword of Death¡¯s attack. Before he could counterattack, a sudden intense unease arose in his heart, causing him to look up abruptly.
Above his head, another Crystal Skeleton emerged, holding the Gravity Sword at maximum strength.
Not two, but three Mirror Images!
¡°Three Mirror Images,bined with Alpha¡¯s speed, are really elusive.¡±
Looking at Alpha, who was moving unpredictably, Bai Qi nodded slightly.
Not to mention the power of Alpha¡¯s multiple swords, just this single move was enough to give many opponents a headache.
After all, an opponent with concealed movements poses a far more threat than one attacking head-on under the same conditions.
This move from Alpha was indeed unexpected for the Husky. Although he defended in time, he still took a direct hit from the Gravity Sword. He fell like a meteorite, deeply crashing into the ground, and directly hit the Space Barrier hidden under the surface.
Enhanced by high-gravity, this hit made the battlefield shake violently, causing even the Beast Master Association to tremble slightly.
¡°Holy crap, is it an earthquake?¡±
As soon as he crawled out of bed, Feng Ye, barely awake, was startled by this treasonous shake. Immediately, he summoned the Earth Elemental for defense, but after waiting for a while, no other movement urred.
¡°Did I have hallucinations because I was too tired yesterday?¡±
Feng Ye scratched his head in confusion, intending to go out for food. Suddenly, the ground shook again, with a tremor far greater than before.
¡°Real earthquake!¡±
Feng Ye¡¯s face changed color, and he immediately asked the Earth Elemental to take him to an open area, but he was told it wasn¡¯t an earthquake.
¡°If it¡¯s not an earthquake, then what is it?¡±
With full curiosity, Feng Ye quickly went towards the source of the disturbance, rushing to the battle room.
Meanwhile, inside the battle room,
Alpha, who had followed closely behind with his Gravity Sword, slowly got up, looking at Husky who had timely escaped using his thrusters. The Sword of Death was once again in his hand, while the Gravity Sword and the Undying me Sword were floating silently behind him, apanied by infinite Wind des.
Seeing this, Husky also began to change. The three skulls returned to their original positions, but his figure remained in the Guardian¡¯s form, holding a staff in one hand and a cannon in the other. The vertical pupils radiated a brilliant light¡ªclearly, he had taken the Tri-Unity stance.
¡°Damn it, a real Three Heads and Six Arms? Oh no, there¡¯re not six arms.¡±
Bai Qi was aghast. Alpha had indeed sported three heads and six arms before, but with six real arms and three decorative heads. So, did Husky turn it around and produce three heads?
In the Tri-Unity state, Husky¡¯s momentum had reached its peak. However, Alpha, as the first pet in the team to reach King-level, showed no signs of retreating. A sharp momentum surged straight at Husky.
Almost simultaneously, both petsunched their attacks.
One sided with a well-coordinated staff and gun, asionally interspersing with Spirit sts;
The other attacked fearlessly with three swords, asionally supplemented with strange sneak attacks.
The two pets battled furiously, even more intensely than they had against the Beast Soul Warriors and the Death Round Table.
Blub blub.
(Master, Delta thinks the space barrier here is about to fail?)
Seeing the constantly shaking space barrier, Delta quickly sensed something was wrong.
Clip clop clip cloop.
(Their energy keeps rising, it looks like they¡¯re about to get serious.)
Hearing this from the two pets, Bai Qi shivered, nning to dissuade them from fighting. However, Husky suddenly retreated. A Dark Gold Judgment Scale appeared behind Husky. Creatures in the battlefield felt as if something was probing their hearts, their souls shaking.
The Judgment Scale, force field activated!
Although both had ascended to King-level, Husky¡¯s level was still slightly lower than Alpha¡¯s. Even if their earlier sh seemed evenly matched, Husky knew that he was starting to be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, without hesitation, Husky activated the Judgment Scale.
Seeing Husky¡¯s subsequent move, Alpha didn¡¯t dilly-dally either. After feeling a strange power that directly touched his soul, he activated the Death Force Field as well.
When the two force fields collided, an invisible storm was instantly triggered in the battlefield. Even Bai Qi, who hid in the viewing room, felt its effects. Fortunately, Delta and Gamma reacted swiftly, protecting Bai Qi. This saved him from being affected.
¡°Thank goodness they didn¡¯t fight at home, else it would be demolished¡¡±
Bai Qi looked helplessly at the Space Barrier Device on the battlefield, which was clearly overloaded, but didn¡¯t have any ns to stop the pets from fighting now.
Not that he didn¡¯t want to, he just didn¡¯t have the time.
After activating the force field, the two pets paused for a moment. Then, their silhouettes shed, and the Sword of Death and the scepter shed once again.
Boom!
With sparkles of Gold and ck, a wave of invisible energy rippled outward. The space barrier shattered like a mirror, and the surrounding walls fell as well. Bai Qi and his four pets were instantly enveloped by billowing dust.
¡°Cough cough¡ What happened?¡±
Feng Ye, who arrived upon hearing the noise, stared at thepletely ruined battle room. While he was searching for any injured people, a giant ape burst out of the ground, carefully holding Bai Qi, who was enveloped in green jelly, and crawled out of the ruins.
¡°Bai Qi, did you do this?¡±
Feng Ye was bbergasted. This guy, his destructive power was growing stronger and stronger.
¡°Don¡¯t falsely use people without evidence. It¡¯s clear that the equipment here is old and malfunctioning, causing the space barrier to break. That won¡¯t do, I have to inspect it thoroughly.¡±
Bai Qi brushed off the dust on him, rushed to a Space Barrier Device, and openly tossed it into the Secret Realm Base.
Originally, these devices were interconnected, and removing even one would cause an explosion unless the space barrier broke.
Well, the space barrier was broken now. If they didn¡¯t thoroughly inspect the device, it would truly be a wasted opportunity.
What, you say this is stealing?
He was clearly helping with the inspection. Once Yu finished checking, he would return it.
¡°You¡¡±
Bai Qi¡¯s actions naturally fell into Feng Ye¡¯s view, but before Feng Ye could retort, several figures appeared next to the ruins.
Among them was Bai Heguang, who intended to rest, and the President of the Nile City Beast Master Association, Li Song.
¡°What happened here?¡±
As the president of the city where the mouse-catching operation was hosted, Li Song was the busiest one. In addition to coordinating various forces, he also had to handle personnel deployment and arrangements.
Just as the busy Li Song had barely stopped working and hadn¡¯t even entered the building, he saw that his association was blown up.
And the perpetrator, seemed to be one of their own?
¡°Uh, well, my two pets were practicing battling, but the building seems a bit old and it just copsed suddenly.¡±
Bai Qi looked innocent, pointed at Alpha who had just crawled out of the ruins and Husky who was still half-kneeling on the ground and said, ¡°Look, look at what happened to my pets.¡±
Li Song: ¡°¡¡±
Feng Ye: ¡°¡¡±
¡°Enough, stop fooling around.¡±
Bai Heguang nced at thepletely shattered space barrier, looked at Li Song, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Li, I will take responsibility for the damages incurred.¡±
¡°Bai Chuanqi, you¡¯re too serious, it¡¯s just a battle room, not a big deal.¡±
Li Song shook his head upon hearing this and directly rejected Bai Heguang¡¯s good intentions. Suddenly, he noticed the strange look on the faces around him and quickly ran to inspect the Space Barrier Device.
¡°Ahem, how about, President Li, you calcte the losses, and I willpensate ordingly!¡±
Looking at Li Song¡¯s changing expression, Bai Qi shrank his neck dejectedly.
It seemed like they should choose to fight outdoors in the future, as the Space Barrier Device doesn¡¯t seem reliable¡
Chapter 326: 322: Sword of the Wind Chaser
Chapter 326: Chapter 322: Sword of the Wind Chaser
Because they had just been through a significant battle, the explosion in the war room caused quite an upheaval in the association, even attracting the attention of Wang Chen, the Mechanical Legend.
Wang Chen came floating down from the sky with a gleeful smile, looking at the mess all over the ground, saying, ¡°Tsk tsk, even the Space Barrier was broken, Lao Bai, there was no need to be so severe in teaching your disciple.¡±
Bai Heguang nced at Wang Chen, neither confirming nor denying his statement, saying, ¡°The Thirteenth Bureau should consider improving the Space Barrier Device.¡±
¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about that, to increase its power means entering military territory, which cannot be distributed casually.¡±
Wang Chen shrugged his shoulders, turning to look at Bai Qi, saying, ¡°Was the Sun Secret Realm fun? Care to share some stories?¡±
Bai Qi opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Bai Heguang before he could say anything, saying, ¡°Bai Qi, you should go first.¡±
¡°Understood, teacher.¡±
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly and hurried back to his room. Wang Chen, however, seemed a bit regretful, saying, ¡°Lao Bai, are you worried that I¡¯m going to steal your disciple? Is that necessary?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not that old-fashioned, if you want to teach him, I don¡¯t mind.¡±
Bai Heguang said indifferently, ¡°But I think you¡¯d better start investigating that Death Round Table.¡±
¡°Death Round Table?¡±
The smile on Wang Chen¡¯s face gradually faded, and an invisible field enveloped them,pletely isting their conversation.
¡°What are the two champions talking about?¡±
Feng Ye curiously asked Chun Yushui, who was standing next to him.
¡°Why do you care so much, kid? Hurry up and clean up, we have a new mission.¡±
Chun Yushui knocked on Feng Ye¡¯s head, saying, ¡°I¡¯m going to give you extra training, what¡¯s the deal with such a huge gap between you youngsters.¡±
¡°Another task? Boss, can I request to change the organization¡..¡±
¡
Secret Realm Base.
¡°Yu, how¡¯s the analysis of the Space Barrier Device going?¡±
Bai Qi ran up to the base¡¯srgest smart brain and eagerly inquired.
Although it was a bit rushed, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he returned the Space Barrier Device before Wang Chen¡¯s arrival. He didn¡¯t know how Yu had analyzed it.
¡°Overall structural scanning rate is 100%, current analysis progress is 0.001%.¡±
Yu quickly provided an answer and, after a brief pause, added, ¡°Grandpa, if you could provide technical data rted to space, the analysis progress could be elerated.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qi nodded his head. Although the decryption was slow, the scanning wasplete which was all that mattered. As long as they took some time, they should be able to create a Space Barrier Device.
¡°Now, it¡¯s time to use the materials.¡±
Bai Qi turned his head to look at the disgruntled Husky, saying, ¡°The revolution has not yet seeded,rade must continue to work hard.¡±
Woof woof!
£¨Just a little bit left, next time I will defeat the smelly bone!£©
Beta was begrudging. He had already pushed Alpha to that point, but the Judgment Scale had no effect on Alpha and didn¡¯t release the curse. If it had, perhaps he would have won.
¡°If you lose, you lose, don¡¯t keep talking about next time.¡±
Jerry red at Beta. The main reason the Judgment Scale had no effect on Alpha, aside from having most of its power nullified by the Death Force Field, was Alpha¡¯s unusually firm will.
Just fight.
This was the emotion Jerry sensed from Alpha. Beyond that, Alpha hardly thought about anything else.
With such a level of focus, his Judgment Scale found it very difficult to take effect on Alpha.
¡°No biggie, internal fights are supposed to motivate each other. Losing is okay, just don¡¯t lose outside.¡±
Bai Qi patted Beta¡¯s head, then handed the Pursuing Wind Feather to Alpha. The specific data appeared immediately on the Pursuing Wind Feather.
[Material Name]: Pursuing Wind Feather
[Material Level]: Mythical Level
[Material Introduction]: The power core of a mythical wind bird creature, a symbol of the wind sprite.
[Material Effect]: Obtainable: 1. Pursuing Wind Power (Super Skill ¨C 69%), 2. Wind Shear (High-stage Skills ¨C 12%), 3. Wind Affinity (Talent ¨C 8%), 4, Bloodline Strengthening (Bloodline ¨C 10%) /5, Unknown (1%)
¡°Huh, an extra choice?¡±
Looking at the extra option in the back of Pursuing Wind Feather, Bai Qi was a bit surprised, but only nced over it.
A one percent chance was too low a probability. Moreover, the Evolution Egg did not issue a warning, so even if he encountered it, there wouldn¡¯t be any significant adverse changes. He didn¡¯t care much.
The tinum Egg quickly froze in ce, and after a brief spell of dizziness, Bai Qi was immediately healed by Gamma.
¡°Next up is Epsilon.¡±
Bai Qi turned to the fungus covered in luxuriant growth, just about to help it merge with the Green Dragon¡¯s Scales, but remembering the scales¡¯ origins, he decided to hold off.
¡°I¡¯ll ask Nichs about it at headquarterster.¡±
After all, the scales were left by Nichs¡¯s mother. It seemed inappropriate to just use them. Anyway, he would soon be returning to the headquarters for the training evaluation, and he could ask then.
¡°Epsilon, you take your time absorbing the inheritance of the Sun Beetle first. We¡¯ll talk about the Green Dragon¡¯s Scalester.¡±
¡°Alright, Boss.¡±
The fungus nodded, and an overwhelming urge to sleep emerged, causing it to fall asleep right on the spot.
Deep sleep was the best way to ess bloodline memories.
Bai Qi wasn¡¯t surprised upon seeing this, and then followed Delta to the Biology Building.
Thanks to the No. 5 Compound, the life signs of fossil embryos were getting stronger, but there was still quite a gap from the near-mature stage like his parents. However, the vital signs were finally stable now.
¡°Delta, have you tried mech-meat fusion yet?¡±
Bai Qi picked up a bottle of No. 5 Compound, looked it over, and then asked.
Blu blu.
(I¡¯ve already tried it with Schuck before, we can briefly merge, but once the time limit is reached, a rejection reaction will ur.)
Delta opened a device on the side and pulled up a webpage.
(Delta consulted the Biological Forum about this issue. The root problem is likely the energy operation differences between machines and bio-organisms.)
¡°Biological Forum?¡±
Bai Qi was surprised and began to look at it closely on the device.
Delta opened a post about the deep integration of mechanical limbs and bio-organisms. The author of the post was someone named ¡°Biological Newbie Delta¡±.
¡°You don¡¯t happen to be the one who posted this, are you?¡±
Blu blu.
(That¡¯s right. Schuck told me about this ce. He said I could learn a lot here.)
Delta carefully nced at Bai Qi and paused.
(But if the master doesn¡¯t like it, Delta won¡¯t go in the future.)
¡°No need, this is good.¡±
Bai Qi nced at the contents of the post, all of which were praises and support for Delta¡¯s opinions, and there were also many people asking about Delta¡¯s origins.
If this group of people found out that the poster was actually an Ancestral Beast, they would probably go insane.
¡°By the way, what¡¯s Schuck¡¯s username?¡±
(In the Heavens and on Earth, Only I am Respected, Dog is Supreme.)
¡°Are you sure this isn¡¯t a name Beta came up with¡¡±
(It shouldn¡¯t be. Gamma also has a username, it¡¯s something like Food Captive.)
¡°¡¡±
¡
As Bai Qi and Delta were discussing, time passed quickly, and the first crack appeared on the tinum Egg where Alpha was residing.
¡°Hmm, has the evolution finished?¡±
Feeling the evolution, Bai Qi immediately rushed over to Alpha.
Whoo~
As soon as he got closer, Bai Qi sensed a breeze brushing against his face. He gently touched it and surprisingly saw a bit of red color, immediately pulling back.
Soon after, the surrounding air suddenly wrapped around and got sucked into the tinum Egg, and the tinum Egg slowly disappeared amid the raging wind.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the tinum Egg suddenly turned into countless particles, and arge Crystal Skeleton gradually appeared in the storm, with a tornado rapidly converging around it, transforming into a blue long sword, quietly floating in front of the Crystal Skeleton.
¡°Alpha, how are you feeling?¡±
Crack crack.
(Boss, I¡¯ve advanced to the Fifth Stage.)
Alpha grabbed the blue sword with one hand, taking a moment to feel its powers, then swung it lightly at a metal target.
Without any resistance, as if the target had actively avoided the sword de, the metal target was split in half.
Sharp, purely sharp.
Bai Qi¡¯s eyes lit up, and he immediately began to check Alpha¡¯s status.
[Name]: Death Sword Monarch (Alpha)
[Nature]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Fifth Stage Level One
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level King
[Racial skills]: Death Force Field (Transcendent Level -Proficient), Sword of Death (Transcendent Level ¨C Perfect), Sword of the Wind Chaser (Transcendent Level ¨C Mastery), Undying me (Super Level -Proficient), Dark Mirror Image (Super Level -Mastery), Gravity Amplification (Super Level -Mastery), Dragon Prestige (High Stage -Perfect), Skeleton Maniption (High Stage -Perfect),
[Energy Value]: 42E9200W
¡
[Skill Name]: Sword of the Wind Chaser
[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level
[Skill Introduction]: Wind-type Transcendent Skill, a long sword formed by the condensed power of the wind, when the swordes out, all things break.
¡
¡°Not Pursuing Wind Power?¡±
Bai Qi was taken aback, but he quickly remembered the one percent unknown item he had seen before.
¡°So, you mean that there¡¯s a one percent chance of fusing existing skills for upgrades?¡±
Looking at the disappearing Sword de Storm and Wind Wound, Bai Qi smacked his lips.
It¡¯s a pity that Alpha had arge-scale lethal skill, but it ended up being a weapon again. But I didn¡¯t expect it to be a Transcendent Skill, it actually seems like a gain.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that King Creatures can¡¯t master two force fields at the same time, otherwise, you could probablyprehend a Pursuing Wind Force Field huh?¡±
Crack crack.
(Boss, I feel like I¡¯ve grasped a bit of it.)
Just as Bai Qi was expressing his regret, Alpha patted Bai Qi¡¯s shoulder. Holding the Sword of the Wind Chaser in both hands, a whirlwind slowly appeared around the sword. It then became denser and gradually enveloped the sword de, making the blue longsword disappear.
¡°Damn, did you actually conjure the Sword of Sworn Victory?¡±
Chapter 327: 323: New Progress in Rune Evolution
Chapter 327: Chapter 323: New Progress in Rune Evolution
Looking at Alpha still holding the gesture of a sword, but his hand was empty, Bai Qi curiously approached him, but Alpha took the initiative to back away.
Clink Clink.
(Boss, be careful, I¡¯m not yet able to control the range of the Pursuing Wind Barrier.)
¡°Pursuing Wind Barrier?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the Pursuing Wind de slowly appearing in Alpha¡¯s hand, and a flood of information rushed into Bai Qi¡¯s mind.
¡°I see, so even though it hasn¡¯t formed a force field, it can still exert some of the effects of a force field?¡±
The Pursuing Wind Barrier, a semi-developed force field, was an attached ability of the Pursuing Wind de. It could form a barrier around the de, which not only wouldn¡¯t affect the de¡¯s attack but could also conceal the de, therefore increasing attack range.
In simple words, it was equivalent to transforming the Sword Storm and Wind Wound into passive attributes of the Pursuing Wind de.
¡°Very good, even though you didn¡¯t acquire a second force field, it might have an unexpected effect.¡±
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction as he watched Alpha put the Pursuing Wind de behind him.
Maybe influenced by Bai Qi, Alpha stretched out two more palms from behind, each holding the Sword of Death and the Pursuing Wind de.
Together with the original Gravity Sword and the Undying Sword, from a distance, Alpha looked like a four-winged huge sword-wielding Angel.
¡°Fifth Stage Monarch, finally you have some ability to defend yourself.¡±
Bai Qi patted Alpha¡¯s back. The once fragile Little Skeleton had now be so powerful. Thinking back, it was really hard to imagine.
Clink Clink.
Alpha seemed to sense Bai Qi¡¯s emotions, and its skull lowered slightly, actively expressing admiration.
Howl¡ Howl¡
(Why do I feel, the stinky bone has left me behind again¡)
Feeling Alpha¡¯s aura be stronger again, Beta was somewhat upset, and its deep blue eyes unconsciously drifted towards Gamma and other beasts.
How about I suppress the weak instead?
However, just as this thought came to Beta, a pair of deep eyes locked on him.
Howl¡«
(I was joking¡«)
Beta timidly avoided Jerry¡¯s gaze. Although Jerry is one of his split personalities, every time Beta saw Jerry¡¯s eyes that seemed to prate his heart, Beta instinctively felt guilty.
¡
Nile City Association.
Luo Xiang, looking at the mechanical beings in the sky carrying repair materials, couldn¡¯t help but give Bai Qi a thumbs up.
¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve achieved what no Beast Soul Warrior has ever achieved. You¡¯ve even taken it right inside the Association¡¯s building.¡±
Bai Qi was speechless and said, ¡°Instructor Luo, can you stop fooling me?¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll discuss serious matters with you.¡±
Luo Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, ¡°This operation will be added to the evaluation score of the third stage of the intensive training. But when making a public announcement, we will mention only the exploration of the Mythical Secret Realm. The mouse hunt operation won¡¯t be mentioned.¡±
¡°Remember not to spill the beans, including the things you saw in the deep secret realm.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. Although he was somewhat puzzled by the Federation¡¯s sudden significant expenditure to clear fifth stage warriors hidden inside the Federation, he was not a bigmouth himself. He just needed to do his own thing.
¡°Things here are somewhat settled. You cane back with me to Gusu Cityter. If I don¡¯t get you back, President Qin and others might start nagging me.¡±
Regardless of Bai Qi¡¯s talent in Beast Control, just the few studies of Bai Qi alone had already involved many interests of different forces. Not to mention agonizing over it, even mentioning it a few times everyday could be considered restrained.
¡°Alright.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The exploration of the Mythical Secret Realm had brought significant gains to his pets, and they needed some time to digest them properly. He himself needed a quiet environment to do some research.
The technology of merging machine and flesh that he had been researching for a long time had finally shown some results due to the No. 5 Compound. He naturally had to seize the opportunity and finalize the research.
¡
Gusu City.
Seeing Bai Qi safely descend from the North Eagle, President Qin¡¯s eyebrows gradually rxed, but he quickly switched to a furious demeanor and said, ¡°Kid, you finally thought ofing back. You sent a message a week ago and you¡¯re onlying back now?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t I just pass by the Jiuli Group and stayed a little longer?¡±
Bai Qi sheepishly shrank back, originally he thought ofing back straightaway. But because he was traveling with You Kui, Bai Qi took the opportunity to visit the Jiuding Group and asked his parents some questions.
But as it turned out, as soon as he asked, his mother figured things out and exposed the researcher behind the scenes, Delta.
Then, for the next few days, Bai Qi was made to serve as a trantion officer, responsible for facilitatingmunication between Delta and his parents. If it wasn¡¯t for Instructor Luo who couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and came asking for him, he would probably still be at Jiuli Group.
However, it wasn¡¯t entirely without gains either.
¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine since you¡¯re back.¡±
President Qin sighed and said, ¡°That¡¯s timely, the Undead Department has sent over the courses you¡¯ve missed. When you have time, make sure to make them up.¡±
Having said that, President Qin handed Bai Qi his course schedule. Upon seeing the number of missed sses, Bai Qi¡¯s face went stiff. After double-checking his schedule, his expression contorted.
He had only been away for a short time, and yet he rued over thirty missed lectures, all of them important ones. It felt as if they were trying to run him ragged.
¡°Oh yes, the Rune Evolution Group contacted me. They¡¯ve found a way to evolutionize runes on organic creatures and would like you to take a look.¡±
¡°And the Rune Mechanical Armament Group is having some design issues. They¡¯re interested in your thoughts.¡±
¡°And then¡ hey, where are you going, Bai Qi?¡±
¡°I just remembered I forgot something at Jiuli Group. I¡¯ll be right back.¡±
¡°Do you really think you can escape¡ ¡±
¡°¡¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s desperate countenance, Luo Xiang sympathetically patted him on the shoulder andforted, ¡°With great poweres great responsibility, youngster. Brace yourself. There will be more of these situations in the future.¡±
¡°Instructor Luo, please, no moreforting. I¡¯m afraid I might lose hope one day.¡±
Bai Qi pped his face to brace himself, then turned to President Qin, ¡°President, could you contact the Undead Department and ask them to fill my schedule with sses for the next few days? I¡¯ll head straight to the Rune Evolution Group.¡±
¡°Giving it all you¡¯ve got?¡±
¡°Giving it all I¡¯ve got.¡±
¡°Alright.¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s dramatic resolve, President Qin¡¯s lips curled upward in amusement. He had no intention of stopping him.
¡
The Rune Evolution Research Group.
Bai Qi smoothly entered the research institute of the group and after taking a nce at the researchers hard at work, he went straight to Professor Dong¡¯s office.
¡°Bai Qi, you¡¯re back?¡±
Having justpleted a rune, Professor Dong put down his pen and looked at the travel-weary Bai Qi, smiling slightly.
¡°Yes, I just returned today.¡±
Bai Qi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the basic rune in front of Professor Dong, ¡°Professor Dong, why are you interested in practicing basic runes?¡±
As a general rule, the primary focus of rune masters was ancient runes. Practicing basic runes was something only rookies engaged in.
¡°Not practice. Recently, dealing with all of you young people has given me some fresh insights, hence I¡¯ve set about reorganizing our current rune system, nning to create a foundation in runes which should lower the difficulty for entering the field.¡±
¡°Rune Fundamentals?¡±
Bai Qi looked at the draft that Professor Dong handed him. All the records on it were the basic runes from every system, annotated in detail. It was simr to teaching children how to read.
¡°Professor Dong, are you nning to introduce runes to children?¡±
Bai Qi put down the rough draft, looking at Professor Dong with some surprise.
¡°Indeed. Currently, the demand for runes far exceeds the past and their applicability is increasing. Relying solely on four years of university is too long, so I¡¯m considering whether training can start earlier.¡±
Professor Dong nodded and continued, ¡°While it¡¯s not feasible to implement this across the Federation, but starting from a young age to establish their foundation, the effect will certainly be profound.¡±
¡°That¡¯s for sure. When that happens, the entire Federation will thank you, Professor Dong.¡±
Admiration appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face. To select the fundamental runes from so many systems and annotate them, the workload was much greater than for Professor Dong¡¯s Rune Dictionary. It also demanded a high level of professionalpetence from himself.
Thus, almost no one wanted to waste time on something seemingly pointless. After all, the same amount of time could be used to explore a few new runes and undoubtedly reap greater rewards.
However, if Professor Dong achieved this, perhaps in twenty years, or even ten, arge number of rune talents would emerge in the Federation.
¡°Don¡¯t make it out to be grander than it is. I¡¯m just doing something I should¡¯ve done a long time ago.¡±
Professor Dong smiled faintly and said, ¡°Moreover, if not for you, runes may still be a niche profession.¡±
¡°Cough cough¡ now that you put it this way, I feel guilty, Professor Dong.¡±
Bai Qi shrank back, looking slightly awkward. Professor Dong didn¡¯t seem to mind and asked:
¡°So, your hurry to be here, is it regarding the rune evolution on flesh and blood creatures?¡±
Bai Qi nodded, ¡°President Qin mentioned it earlier, and I immediately rushed over. I should asionally take part in the research group¡¯s activities.¡±
¡°Actually, it¡¯s still just a preliminary idea. While we¡¯ve conducted some experiments, only one has seeded. But your arrival might turn things around.¡±
As he said this, Professor Dong suddenlyughed. ¡°Interestingly, this idea came from Rune Mechanical Armament, so it¡¯s also thanks to you.¡±
¡°Rune Mechanical Armament?¡±
At that, Bai Qi paused, following Professor Dong to the experimental area, curious. Upon seeing the giant machinery festooned with countless mechanical arms, inscribing runes on an Arctic Ice Wolf, Bai Qi¡¯s eyes twitched slightly.
Has the age of tattoos finally arrived?
Chapter 328: 324: Tattoo the entire back!
Chapter 328: Chapter 324: Tattoo the entire back!
Professor Dong nced at the oddly contemtive Bai Qi, not finding it strange at all.
This idea was proposed by Mo Zhu, who had already been transferred to the evolution team. Simply put, it was about using the Rune Mechanical Armour to simultaneously tattoo the same rune on a pet beast¡¯s bones and skin. The energy would then be guided by the rune machinery to promote evolution.
When Mo Lin initially proposed this operation, Professor Dong was somewhat surprised. But after seeing a sessful case, he immediately agreed to the n.
However, until now, the problem of the energy flow between the double runes on the skin and bones had not been effectively resolved. Hence, they thought it would be a good idea to have Bai Qi take a look, hoping for an unexpected breakthrough.
¡°Reducing the impact of a creature¡¯s own energy flow by using two sets of runes?¡±
After hearing Professor Dong¡¯s description, Bai Qi nodded slightly. He hadn¡¯t thought of this direction. Theoretically, it was indeed feasible. But it could only reduce some of the effects. If he encountered some creatures with more active energy attributes, the chances of failure were still high.
Sure enough, just as thest rune was carved on the Arctic Ice Wolf under the device, the light of evolution flickered momentarily and then disappearedpletely.
¡°It failed again.¡±
Mo Lin sighed heavily. They had already had the mechanics team adjust the precision of the device to the highest level, and they carefully selected an Arctic Ice Wolf that was rtively calm in temperament and energy attribute. The process of applying the runes was more than meticulous, and there was not a single mistake.
Yet despite this, they still couldn¡¯t seed in evolution.
¡°We need to adjust the rune structure and device precision next.¡±
While considering the data from the recent experiment, thinking about possible solutions, Mo Lin noticed Bai Qi outside the window.
¡°Bai Qi, when did you get here?¡±
Expectation shed in Mo Lin¡¯s eyes. Perhaps others couldn¡¯t solve the problem, but as the founder of two major projects, the Rune Evolution and the Rune Mechanical Armour, Bai Qi might really be able to solve this problem.
¡°Just got back from a mission and thought I¡¯d drop by.¡±
Bai Qi nced at the staff members who wereforting the Arctic Ice Wolf, which was somewhat fatigued from the failed evolution, and asked: ¡°Have you identified the reason for the failed evolution?¡±
Mo Lin nodded and said: ¡°The energy flow is still tooplex and cannot flow exactly along the route set by the rune structure. Although we have controlled the amount of energy input, the surge of energy during evolution still breaks through the runes, causing failure of evolution.¡±
¡°Is that so¡¡±
Bai Qi epted the data from Mo Lin and found the results as Mo Lin described.
¡°I n to gather more energy flow data from the Arctic Ice Wolves and then redesign the runes. Also, the operators of the Rune Mechanical Armour are also adjusting the device to improve its precision. This should increase the chance of sess.¡±
Mo Lin detailed his n to Bai Qi, then waited expectantly for Bai Qi¡¯s feedback.
¡°Hmm, it¡¯s a good idea. If all goes well, it will indeed increase the sess rate.¡±
Bai Qi said: ¡°But you¡¯re not nning to explore every type of pet beast this way, are you?¡±
¡°Uh, isn¡¯t that what we¡¯re supposed to do?¡±
Mo Lin looked at Bai Qi with confusion. Unlike the rtively simple energy operation of the Undead Department, even among flesh-and-blood creatures of simr attributes and race, there is a significant difference in their energy operation rhythms.
This was also why the forme for materials that can cause pet beasts to evolve were so valuable. After all, each was the product of countless time and resources spent on trial and error.
¡°Of course not. With over a thousand entries in the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook, do you really think you can test them all in your lifetime?¡±
¡°Of course we can¡¯t do it all by ourselves. Once we prove that this method works, people will naturally carry out targeted research after we release it.¡±
Mo Lin shook his head. They couldn¡¯t possiblyplete such arge project with just their own efforts. Like the evolution rune of the Undead Department, already dozens of institutes were researching it under their authorization, and even more were likely doing so unofficially.
¡°That¡¯s still too troublesome.¡±
Bai Qi quickly scanned through Mo Lin¡¯s experimental data. New ideas kepting to him. When Bai Qi closed the materials, a bold idea emerged in his mind.
¡°The current problem is that the rune structure can¡¯t urately guide the energy flow during a pet beast¡¯s evolution, resulting in damage to the structure, right? So let¡¯s not modify it artificially. Let the pet beast decide.¡±
Mo Lin looked puzzled and asked: ¡°So, what do we do?¡±
¡°Simple, tattoo a full back!¡±
Mo Lin still looked confused, but Professor Dong seemed to have grasped something. Seeing Bai Qi walking over to operate the device, he watched with a hint of admiration.
Really getting old!
Soon, Bai Qi brought out a rune structure soplex it was mind-boggling. In front of the stunned researchers, he began toy out his n.
But the key was that many routes in this structure were redundant or duplicated.
¡°Bai Qi, with such aplex structure, I¡¯m afraid it would be hard for it to take effect?¡±
Mo Lin took Bai Qi¡¯s design and scrutinized it, immediately voicing his doubts.
He could naturally see that Bai Qi¡¯s n was to merge the previous designs and add some lines. There were no significant improvements. Instead, theplexities might invalidate the array.
¡°We won¡¯t know till we try.¡±
Bai Qi gave a slight smile, handed the design to an operator nearby, and said a few words. The light of understanding dawned on the operator who then reced the Arctic Ice Wolf and began to operate the device.
Upon observing this, Mo Lin curiously went closer. The mechanized arm was still doing the engraving, the rune energy being guided just as before, there was no difference. In fact, more effort was put into preventing the energy from flowing into the wrong ces.
¡°Haven¡¯t you figured it out yet?¡±
Seeing Mo Lin¡¯s confused appearance, Professor Dong approached, ¡°Bai Qi already said, since we can¡¯t consider every aspect, let¡¯s leave it to the pet beast to choose.¡±
¡°Choose by itself?¡±
Even upon hearing this, Mo Lin was still puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a dazzling light suddenly burst out from within the operation room.
The Light of Evolution!
Could such a structure really be possible?
Not only Bai Qi but also the surrounding researchers were looking at the evolving Arctic Ice Wolf in the operation room with shock written all over their faces.
Bai Qi had just nced at the problem that had been guing them for so long and resolved it?
Could such a freakish person actually exist in the world?
Quickly, the Light of Evolution dissipated, revealing a sturdily-built Arctic Ice Wolf King in front of everyone. It looked no different from a normally evolved Arctic Ice Wolf King.
¡°It really seeded? Why¡ that kind of rune structure¡¡±
Mo Lin looked at Bai Qi in surprise, wanting to know the secret. However, he saw that Bai Qi had already approached the operator, querying him about something.
¡°Are you sure you got everything on tape?¡±
¡°Confirmed.¡±
The operator nodded his head, then projected a hologram. It was the rune structure drawn by Bai Qi.
However, this hologram was clearly made from the previous experiment, voters could faintly make out a silhouette of the Arctic Ice Wolf while the representation of energy, a blue electric light, began to slowly move around on this projection.
This was to simte the energy flow during rune evolution ¡ª a technology that Mo Lin and the others had utilized quite a lot in their previous research.
But they quickly spotted the difference.
After the blue energy finally filled the main routes, the speed and quantity of the energy flow suddenly skyrocketed, forcibly breaking through the original flow path.
That was it!
That was the reason for their previous failures. They had modified countless versions for it but the situation continued to ur.
Mo Lin stared intently at the hologram before him. He saw that after the energy had broken through the original path, it did not flow randomly. Instead, it flowed into those rune paths that he thought were useless.
¡°This¡ this works too?¡±
Seeing the rune structure that had expanded due to the energy surge, Mo Lin finally understood.
¡°Of course, it¡¯s better to create a clear path than a blockade. Instead of wasting time guessing where the energy will move during evolution, it¡¯s better to design several routes and let the energy choose itself. As long as the core route is maintained without error and the surging energy during evolution does not break the rune structure, it¡¯s good to go.¡±
Bai Qi shrugged, ¡°But this design diagram indeed is a bitplex. We can conduct a few more experiments and simplify the structure appropriately. This might make the process more efficient.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Mo Lin continually nodded. Although there were still many unknown variables initially, this method indeed helped save a lot of time. Given sufficient sessful examples, they might be able to find the most streamlined design.
¡°Congrattions, Bai Qi, for making yet another breakthrough.¡±
Professor Dong revealed a sincere smile. The surrounding researchers had no objections when they heard the news and admired Bai Qi even more.
¡°No, no, I can¡¯t take the credit for this. I¡¯m only standing on the shoulders of giants.¡±
Hearing this, Bai Qi quickly waved his hands off. The rune evolution structure of flesh and blood creatures was much moreplexpared to skeletal creatures. Had it not been for the extensive experimental data and structural information at his disposal, he wouldn¡¯t havee up with this method so easily.
Moreover, he seemed to have thought of a way to merge flesh and machines.
With this thought, Bai Qi didn¡¯t bother to continue the conversation and quickly left.
¡°Um, Professor Dong, what should we do now?¡±
Mo Lin watched Bai Qi leave in astonishment and asked Professor Dong.
Professor Dong adjusted his sses, ¡°What to do? Continue researching the rune evolution pattern of other creatures; strive to find a universal evolution scheme for creatures of all departments earlier.¡±
¡°Uh, what about after we seed?¡±
¡°After seeding, of course, we apply for a patent, and then make it public. Remember to apply in the name of the project team.¡±
¡°But wouldn¡¯t Bai Qi¡¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t Bai Qi a part of the project team?¡±
¡°I see!¡±
Chapter 329: 325: Armament Evolution
Chapter 329: Chapter 325: Armament Evolution
Elf House.
Zhuge Chen looked at Garulu, who was covered in runes, with some concern and said, ¡°Bai Qi, are you sure this will work?¡±
Bai Qi nodded and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Rune Evolution Special Team has already tried it. This set of runes for the Arctic Ice Wolf can now guarantee stable evolution.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not talking about rune evolution, but this.¡±
Zhuge Chen pointed to the new rune mechanical armour that Bai Qi had brought over and asked, ¡°Are you really sure that you can fuse machinery with flesh?¡±
¡°In theory, yes.¡±
Bai Qi carefully checked the rune structure on Garulu¡¯s body and then fitted the redesigned Frozen Armor onto Garulu.
An ice-blue light flickered, and the Frozen Armor was activated instantly, but nothing unusual happened.
¡°Schuck, how¡¯s the runepatibility?¡±
¡°Compatibility is 99.8%, within the allowable range.¡±
¡°Good, then Delta, you prepare to inject the No. 5pound. Schuck, keep an eye on the energy guidance.¡±
(Understood.)
Under the worried gaze of Zhuge Chen, the green potion was injected into the injection port of the Frozen Armor, and Schuck also activated the reserve energy inside the Frozen Armor.
In a sh, a blue Evolution Light enveloped Garulu.
¡°Is this¡ the evolution?¡±
A look of astonishment spread across Zhuge Chen¡¯s face, apparently unable toprehend Bai Qi¡¯s operation just now.
¡°Don¡¯t be surprised just yet, or you¡¯ll be out of emotionster.¡±
A confident smile appeared on Bai Qi¡¯s face as he looked at thepletely stable Evolution Light surrounding Garulu.
Finally, when the Evolution Light dispersed, a majestic Arctic Ice Wolf King appeared before them.
Well, to be precise, it was not exactly an Arctic Ice Wolf King. Compared with its kin, Garulu was noticeablyrger, and its mechanical armour and metal twin wings added a unique aesthetic to Garulu.
¡°Schuck, how¡¯s the fusion?¡±
Seeing Garulu¡¯s sessful evolution, Bai Qi immediately asked Schuck. In response, Schuck projected a hologram of Garulu.
Schuck highlighted the points where the Frozen Armor contacted Garulu and said, ¡°The fusion is perfect. The Frozen Armor haspletely merged with Garulu. It¡¯s no different from me.¡±
¡°We did it!¡±
Bai Qi clenched his fist triumphantly.
These past few days, he had been catching up on his Undead Department lessons during the day and had spent all his remaining time on research into the fusion of machine and flesh. His efforts had finally borne fruit.
Garulu also sensed the changes in itself and tentatively issued amand to the Frozen Armor on its body. Wondrously, the Frozen Armor, which normally only reacted mechanically to its slight movements, now obeyed its everymand.
¡°How did you manage to fuse machinery with flesh¡ Bai Qi?¡±
Zhuge Chen also got feedback from Garulu, and looking at the Frozen Armor that was now indistinguishable from the fur of Garulu, he couldn¡¯t help but praise.
¡°All thanks to evolution. I just moved some stuff.¡±
Bai Qiughed and exined, which only made Zhuge Chen more confused.
Thanks to the research of the Rune Evolution Special Team, Bai Qi had an inspiration: a solution for the inability of the No. 5pound to keep the fusion of machine and flesh for long.
The method was simple ¨C two words:
Evolution.
Whether it was traditional evolution, rune evolution, or even Bai Qi¡¯s Evolution Egg, they could all merge pets with materials to form new life forms.
As we all know, there is a wide variety of materials used for pet evolution: metals, nts, organs¡
Varieties of different forms and attributes of materials can perfectly merge with pets under the coverage of Evolution Light.
Recognizing this, Bai Qi made a slight modification to the research results of the Rune Evolution Special Team, using rune armor as an exoskeleton and adding No. 5 Compound to promote its fusion with flesh.
Then, it was the Evolution Light triggered by Garulu¡¯s evolution that made the Frozen Armor fully merge with Garulu.
Of course, before this, it was just Bai Qi¡¯s guess. This method was even more oundish than the rune evolution he had researched through the skeleton soldiers. If it weren¡¯t for this sessful example in front of him, Bai Qi would not have been so sure.
¡°You really are¡ full of surprises~¡±
Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi somewhat sentimentally, then a peculiar light erupted in his eyes.
It was the unique glow of a businessman sniffing out a business opportunity.
¡°Bai Qi, you should go apply for a patent right away. A new way of evolution, I think both the Beast Masters, and Spirit Controllers, would thank you.¡±
¡°I¡¯m sure, Rune Weaponry, and the No. 5 Compound you just used, will definitely be big sellers for the Federation in the future!¡±
Seeing Zhuge Chen¡¯s excited expression, Bai Qi couldn¡¯t help chuckling, but he didn¡¯t deny Zhuge Chen¡¯s words.
¡°By the way, have you thought of a name for this type of evolution?¡±
¡°Well¡ since it includes rune mechanical armour during the evolution, let¡¯s call it Armament Evolution.¡±
¡
Thirteenth Bureau.
Buzzing¡
Yi Yu pulled out his cell phone. Looking at the annotation ¡°Bai Qi,¡± the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward. ¡°Hello, this is Yi Yu.¡±
¡°Minister Yi, I¡¯ve been tinkering with something again. I might need your help connecting me with the patent office.¡±
Yi Yuughed, ¡°Are you talking about the biological side-n for rune evolution? The special team already reported it. Even though it was submitted under the team¡¯s name, as the team leader, I think everyone would take notice.¡±
¡°Um, that¡¯s not it. I¡¯ve developed Flesh Fusion technology for machines. Professor Chu suggested I first report to the Thirteenth Bureau.¡±
¡°Machine Flesh Fusion technology? That indeed does need reporting. I¡¯ll head to the patent officeter.¡±
¡°Er, one more thing.¡±
Yi Yu paused and then continued, ¡°Do you have other research too?¡±
¡°No, it¡¯s the project involves both Rune Mechanical Armament and Rune Evolution. Professor Chu wanted to ask if it should be counted under Rune Department or Mechanical Engineering Department patents.¡±
After hearing this, Yi Yu finally understood, ¡°Are you saying that the fusion of machine and flesh will cause an evolution?¡±
¡°Well, strictly speaking, it¡¯s the evolution that prompts the fusion of machine and flesh. But since after evolution it would be a half-machine, half-organic lifeform, I guess it could be said that way.¡±
Yi Yu nodded, ¡°I understand. Send the data over and I will handle it.¡±
¡°Thank you, Minister Yi.¡±
Bai Qi hung up the phone. Professor Chu, full of anticipation on his face, immediately approached. ¡°So, what did the Thirteenth Bureau say? Will it be ssified under machinery or runes?¡±
¡°Er¡ they didn¡¯t say.¡±
Bai Qi scratched his head, ¡°I personally believe it should be half and half.¡±
¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡±
Seeing Bai Qi¡¯s demeanor, Professor Chu was so furious that his beard quivered. ¡°The core of the Machine Flesh Fusion lies in allowing organic beings to employ Mechanical Engineering equipment, of course, it should be ssified under the Mechanical Engineering patent! And, the instruments to draw runes are made by machines, right?¡±
¡°Cough¡ but without invoking rune evolution the mechanical armament and flesh cannot integrate, right? By the way, the No. 5 Compound used in the process is also biological side-result, so it should be counted as three parts.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Professor Chu was about to pop his eyeballs. But in the end, he hoisted the white g and sighed helplessly.
¡°Actually, Professor Chu, it doesn¡¯t need to be such a big deal, after all, I¡¯m still a student of Mechanical Weaponry and Armor.¡±
Seeing Professor Chu¡¯s reaction, Bai Qiforted him, ¡°Also, I¡¯ve noticed that the Rune Evolution Special Team and the Rune Mechanical Armament Group have been cooperating quite closely. Isn¡¯t it far more convenient if they are integrated?¡±
¡°Work together with the Rune Department? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I¡¯m not going to coborate with Old Lady Dong.¡±
Without any hesitation, Professor Chu declined and the reason made Bai Qi clutch his stomach inughter.
¡°If the Machine Flesh Fusion is ssified under rune evolution system, I won¡¯t be responsible.¡±
Upon hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, Professor Chu¡¯s face changed immediately, ¡°That can¡¯t happen. It¡¯s an evolution caused by Mechanical Weaponry. It must be ssified under the Mechanical Department.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just a cooperation, I¡¯ll go and find Old Lady Dong. They have Rune Evolution, and we also have Armament Evolution. Who¡¯s afraid who!¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll notify Professor Dong right away.¡±
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately revealed a smug smile. Only then did Chu realize that he seemed to have been yed by Bai Qi. Wanting to renege, he found that Bai Qi had already sneaked away.
¡°This sneaky boy, bing more and more crafty.¡±
Professor Chu shook his head. Thinking about the impending cooperation with the Rune Department, a strange expression unconsciously appeared on his face.
¡°By the way, Professor Chu, if this can be ssified under the Mechanical Department, won¡¯t you have to teach me Endless Material Science? Um, Professor Chu, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?¡±
¡°Get out of here!¡±
¡°Got it!¡±
¡
The Thirteenth Bureau.
Director¡¯s Office.
Looking at the material sent by Yi Yu, a brilliant smile appeared on Wang Jian¡¯s face.
¡°Armament Evolution, I didn¡¯t expect thisd had such a thought.¡±
Yi Yu said, ¡°Even I didn¡¯t expect Bai Qi would think of using this method to promote the integration of machines and flesh.¡±
¡°Zhao Futu is really lucky, by the way, has the Research Department tried it?¡±
¡°Yes, they have tried it. It¡¯s feasible and theoretically, it could be spread universally.¡±
Wang Jian nodded, ¡°Then let¡¯s get the patent office to register it, and inform Wuhou Corporation to expedite the expansion of the production line. I want all non-Mechanical troops in the Federation to universally adopt Armament Evolution.¡±
¡°Alright, but Director, do we need to create an alternative again?¡±
¡°No need, just use Bai Qi¡¯s name. Let the Association worry about the debt.¡±
Understanding what he meant, Yi Yu turned and left.
¡°Rune Evolution, Armament Evolution¡ The new era of the Federation is really about toe.¡±
Wang Jian picked up the documents again, and a brief moment of relief shed across between his eyebrows.
Finally, the future of the Federation could be handed over to these youngsters.
Chapter 330: 326: Slaying Ferocious Beasts, Snatching Skills!
Chapter 330: Chapter 326: ying Ferocious Beasts, Snatching Skills!
Bai Vi.
¡°Thunder!¡±
A Lightning Rat, entirely encased in yellow armor, was excitedly releasing boundless energy in the courtyard, leaving burnt marks everywhere. The beast sparring with the Lightning Rat was Bai Qiucha¡¯s Bone Dragon.
¡°Armament Evolution, sometimes I really wonder how your brain is structured, Bai Qi. You multitask so much yet you neverg in any of them.¡±
Bai Qiucha watched the Lightning Rat and Bone Dragon frolicking below and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
If the Lightning Rat was just a pet to him before, it was now a beast with considerable strength.
At least, Bai Qiucha could no longer withstand the Lightning Rat¡¯s thunderbolts.
¡°Like I¡¯ve said before, I¡¯m merely assembling other people¡¯s research. The credit isn¡¯t all mine. And speaking of achievements, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s overdoing it.¡±
Bai Qi pouted, ¡°The youngest Fifth Stage Beastmaster in Federation history, student Bai Qiucha~¡±
¡°If other people knew about someone¡¯s speed of advancement, they probably wouldn¡¯t pay attention to me anymore.¡±
Bai Qiucha gave a bitterly helpless smile. Although he was indeed the youngest Fifth Stage Beastmaster in the Federation¡¯s history,pared to Bai Qi, who reached Fifth Stage within months, it was nothing much.
¡°Oh right, did the teacher say when he¡¯sing back?¡±
Bai Qi stretchedzily. A few days ago, Professor Chu had given him Endless Material Science, so he had been studying new mechanical materials with Schuck for the past few days and hadn¡¯t had a good rest.
¡°Should be soon. This morning, I got a call from dad saying he¡¯d be here by noon, so he should be here in a while.¡±
Bai Qiucha asked, ¡°I heard from Brother Luo that you¡¯ve trained your second king-level creature? When shall we have a fight?¡±
¡°Uh, let¡¯s wait a bit longer. A fight between Fifth Stage monarch-level creatures would cause too much damage. I¡¯m afraid that President Qin might beat me to death.¡±
As a former emperor-level creature, Bone Dragon¡¯s advancements became increasingly exaggerated with Bai Qiucha¡¯s level ups. Almost as soon as Bai Qiucha reached the fifth stage, Bone Dragon reached the highest of the two levels.
Such treatment of recalling arge memory, was only afforded to Cha within the entire Federation.
Fighting such a beast, Bai Qi estimated that even Alpha would need to use all its strength. If they tore up the Federation Association building in Gusu City, President Qin wouldn¡¯t let him off easily.
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s exnation, Bai Qiucha was somewhat confused but didn¡¯t insist. Momentster, when he saw a fast-approaching dark shadow in the sky outside the window, his eyes immediately lit up.
¡°Dad¡¯s back!¡±
As soon as he¡¯d spoken, the Jiuyou Darkbird, carrying Bai Heguang,nded in the courtyard. The Lightning Rat, who was previously in high spirits, instantly hid inside Bone Dragon¡¯s body upon sensing the terrifying aura from the Jiuyou Darkbird. It peered cautiously through the gaps of the skeleton at the man and the bird.
¡°Dad.¡± ¡°Teacher.¡±
Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi came to the courtyard in session and greeted Bai Heguang.
¡°Mm.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, nced at the Bone Dragon to the side, and said, ¡°Has it reached the fifth stage? Not bad, but you shouldn¡¯t forget to familiarize yourself with the talent of a Soul Communicator. Otherwise, even if you ascend to Legend, relying solely on one beast won¡¯t be enough.¡±
¡°I understand.¡±
Bai Qiucha nodded, seemingly ustomed to Bai Heguang¡¯s instructional style upon their meeting and Bai Qi secretly felt sympathy on one side.
No wonder he¡¯s the youngest Fifth Stage Beastmaster. This family atmosphere is brutal.
¡°And Bai Qi, how have your Beastmaster training been recently?¡±
However, before Bai Qi could gloat for long, Bai Heguang shifted focus to him.
¡°Uh, I haven¡¯t cked off.¡±
Under Bai Heguang¡¯s scrutinizing gaze, Bai Qi conscientiously summoned all five of his pets.
Gamma and Delta didn¡¯t show any significant changes. As for Alpha, who hadprehended another Transcendent Skill, and the Husky who was gradually assimting the Guardian of the Underworld¡¯s legacy, their auras were noticeably different.
However, if anyone were the most mboyant, it had to be the Bug Grass.
The environment instantly warmed up upon Bug Grass¡¯ appearance, and under the reflections of the noonday sun, the Bug Grass seemed like a mini Sun, spreading warm rays of light. Two colorful tentacles above its head added some color to the luminescence.
Passive Transcendent Skill: Sun Wheel.
As the bloodline skill of the Sun Beetle, unless suppressed by the Bug Grass, Sun Wheel would activate automatically upon exposure to sunlight. A sunny day is one of its basic effects.
¡°Is this the pet which absorbed the shell of the Sun Beetle?¡±
Bai Heguang nced at the Bug Grass and said, ¡°A Mythical Species, worth developing carefully.¡±
¡°Understood.¡±
Bai Qi nodded. The advantages of Mythical Species were well-known. His pets were all unusual, otherwise, anyone else would directly train the Bug Grass as the main pet.
¡°I will be on vacation in Gusu City for a month and will oversee your training.¡±
Bai Heguang took out a taskboard and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, ¡°This board lists the active ferocious beasts around Gusu City and several neighboring cities. Eliminate them one by one following the order I¡¯ve set. If youplete ahead of time,e to me to get the remaining tasks.¡±
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave as soon as I get things in order.¡±
As Bai Qi was about to leave after taking the taskboard, Bai Heguang waved his hand signaling him to wait.
¡°Leave your main pet Alpha with me during this period. Jiuyou will train it. I¡¯ll return it to you before I leave.¡±
¡°Leave Alpha behind?¡±
Bai Qi paused at the thought, recalling that Bai Heguang had indeed mentioned training Alpha to control the Power of Death. After some hesitation, he nodded.
¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble you, Professor.¡±
Even though he missed the Evolution Egg for a month, which might cause Alpha tog behind in its race value, if it could proficiently control the Power of Death, it would not be a disadvantage.
¡°Hmm.¡±
Bai Heguang nodded, saying, ¡°You don¡¯t have to rush to embark on your journey. Most of these ferocious beasts live far from the cities, and their environments areplex. It would be best to fully understand the information before setting off.¡±
¡°Thank you for the reminder, Professor. I will keep that in mind.¡±
Bai Heguang gave Bai Qi a few more words of advice before turning and returning to the house. Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged a nce and decided not to disturb him further.
Even though Bai Heguang hid it well, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha still detected his fatigue. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have taken a month-long rest this time.
¡°Then I¡¯ll head back first, I¡¯lle by again another day.¡±
After instructing Alpha briefly, Bai Qi gave Bai Qiucha a salute and then briskly walked away.
Fittingly, during his unanticipated two-day rest, he had been longing to get out and stretch his legs, and lo and behold, he was served on a tter. The beasts chosen by Bai Heguang would certainly not be weak, and he expected the materials extracted from them would not be of low quality either.
¡°Finally, I can improve the Skill As again~¡±
Bai Qi was eager to start and quickly began examining the data on the task board.
Kill ferocious beasts, Obtain Skills!
¡
In the outskirts of Langya City.
Bai Qiyfortably on a reclining chair, enjoying the kebabs handed to him by Gamma while checking the current state of his four pets. Meanwhile, alongside him, Gamma was deftly extracting valuable resources from a Lord-level Faceless Spider.
¡°Schuck, how many ferocious beasts have we cleared up to now?¡±
¡°We¡¯vepleted 11 Lord-level beasts, nine more to go, and no King-level beasts yet, five more to go.¡±
Schuck quickly updated the progress and casually projected a map in the air, saying, ¡°Next target, King-level ferocious beast, Deste Ghost Frog King, habitat, ck Nightmare Swamp, fifty-seven kilometers from here.¡±
¡°Finally, a King-level creature?¡±
Bai Qi perked up. Bai Heguang must have considered the increasing difficulty and the distance when nning his route, so Bai Qi didn¡¯t want to waste time taking a detour and went straightforwardly.
Perhaps Bai Heguang took into ount that Bai Qi¡¯s main pet, Alpha, was not present, so the creatures Bai Qi encountered at first were all Lord creatures. It was more than halfway through now that the first King appeared.
¡°Come on, show me what nature it is. I might be able to burst out some decent skills.¡±
Although he found useful materials in the first eleven Lord beasts, apart from a few used to upgrade the vine worms¡¯ skills, there were no skills Bai Qi liked, so he nned to exchange some materials that only enhance basic attributes when he returned.
Pets have limited energy. Even with the help of the vine¡¯s dreand to enhance skill proficiency, Bai Qi still didn¡¯t like wasting energy on ordinary skills.
In the past, he was just a gambler, but now, with the Skill As and the Material As guiding development, of course, he needed to have some ambitions.
[Name]: Deste Ghost Frog King.
[Nature]: Super Energy Series.
[Bloodline Level]: Low rank King.
[Introduction]: Prefers to live in the cold swamp area, with souls teeming around their bodies. It is said that these souls are the remaining spirits of its prey.
¡
¡°Um, abilities leaning towards the souls of the dead? That¡¯s a win this round.¡±
Looking at the introduction of the Deste Ghost Frog King, Bai Qi grinned. Same as the low-level kings, Jerry¡¯s suppression of spirits of the dead was nearly excessive. Even if the power of the wild beasts outstrips ordinary pets, it would only require a bit more effort.
¡°Minions, pack up, prepare to set off.¡±
Bai Qi finished thest skewer in his hand, pointed forward, and said, ¡°Target, ck Nightmare Swamp!¡±
¡°My lord, may I request to return to the Beast Control Space for a rest?¡±
The dark vine somewhat timidly swayed its colorful tentacles and said, ¡°After fighting continuously with eleven Lord-level beasts, I¡¯m really quite tired.¡±
¡°Tired?¡±
Bai Qi nced at the high sun overhead and curled his lips.
Even if it¡¯s just an excuse, find a better reason. With the Sun Wheel, the vine¡¯s daytime endurance is in no way weaker Gamma.
When Bai Qi gave him a suspicious look, the dark vine finally revealed the truth.
¡°In fact, I once had a bit of a feud with this Deste Ghost Frog King ¡¡±
¡°Tell the truth.¡±
¡°I, the body of the Spirit Devouring Vine, was almost eaten by the Deste Ghost Frog King.¡±
¡°Tsk¡ Coincidentally, congrattions, your chance for revenge has arrived.¡±
Chapter 331: 327: Dry Pot Desolate Ghost Frog?
Chapter 331: Chapter 327: Dry Pot Deste Ghost Frog?
Hearing Bai Qi¡¯s words, the caterpir unintentionally shivered, saying, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m not the type to hold grudges, so why don¡¯t we forget about it¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s not eptable; this is a mission our teacher assigned; it must bepleted.¡±
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head and said, ¡°Besides, you¡¯ve fought all the way here; what more do you have to fear?¡±
Although the Lord Creatures they¡¯d encountered on the way were not low-levelled, both Husky and Gamma showed little interest. Although Delta acted impartially, once Delta had instantaneously annihted a fifth stage Lord, Bai Qi didn¡¯t allow him to make a move again.
The teacher had sent him to kill ferocious beasts to train the team¡¯s creatures, knocking them out one by one didn¡¯t have much of a training effect on them.
Because of this, Bai Qi handed over all ten of the subsequent Lord creatures to the caterpir, who currently had the weakestbat power in the team.
Initially, the caterpir was somewhat flustered, but with the powerful recovery power and attributes brought about by the Sun Wheel, the caterpir quickly adapted to this rhythm ofbat, achieving considerable improvement.
[Name]: Dream-eating Vine (Epsilon)
[Nature]: Insect (Mythical Species) nt Symbiosis
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
