Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Until he found a way to permanently sustain Delta’s evolution, Delta probably had to rely on close combat 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 clatter.

(Boss, Delta has completely 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 explain, Nicholas grumbled from the side, “Bai Qi, could you be any more stingy? How is one blade of grass enough to eat?”

As he was saying this, Nicholas 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 balance might not hold.

This wasn’t an ancestral beast, but a gold-swallowing beast!

Indeed, slaughtering ferocious beasts to gather materials was more efficient, although it was bit troublesome. So, it was better to find some ways to increase income.

It seemed that he needed to hurry and complete 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 class, 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, Nicholas lay 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 glanced at the deserted road outside and said, “Bai Qi wouldn’t plan to skip Teacher Zhang’s class too, would he?”

“Even if he is late, 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 the last 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 are late 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 place the entry and exit points of the Green Dragon Secret Realm in the assembly hall, and then set hundreds of alarm 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 related 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 subject­teaching like before. Instead, comprehensive 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 immediate commotion 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 blade 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 us completely of our right to skate by?

Indeed, as predicted, Zhang Shan started explaining 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 – 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 according 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-ranked competitors cannot refuse challenges from those ranked lower.”

Zhang Shan glanced 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 place, with no hope of benefiting from imposing challenges. On the other hand…

Everyone in here who could be considered easy competition had rankings beyond the tenth place. 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 – if they took the fight seriously, it would be a tough battle.

Then he suddenly realized – he seemed to have become the biggest piece of meat?

Bai Qi had just thought of this when he noticed several glances directed at him. Among them were the battle -eager Zhou Yan and Bai Yuxiao.

“Second Boss, don’t blame me for not having brotherly loyalty. I am now ranked 15th. If I challenge you, I get three times the points…”

Zhou Yan glared 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.”
