Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

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, similar 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 cellphone lately due to the heavy workload.”

At this point, Tang Miao looked a bit wronged as he glanced at Wang Huai. He complained, “Blame 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 blame me, it was Minister Yi who suddenly reached out. We had to come.”

“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 accustomed 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 glancing 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 placed 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 matters later 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 for later and execute the mission first.”

Wang Huai looked at the desolate landscape 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]: Plant 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-run combat 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 noises coming 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 camouflage themselves to match the land 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 flames 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 glanced at the Sawtooth Earthworm behind Tang Miao, which died painfully after being hit by the frost and flames, 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 glancing 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 similar 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 Clack! Click Clack!

(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 blazed 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 coagulate 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 inferior compared 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 easy later.”

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.
