Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

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. “Nicholas, you’re already out, might as well take you around… Nicholas?” Bai Qi turned towards Nicholas 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 Nicholas’s words, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh. He shattered Nicholas’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…”

Nicholas 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 places. Realizing that he might get beaten up by a swarm of legendary monsters, Nicholas 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, Nicholas 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 Nicholas, who was squeezing his brains out for inspiration, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

This dude had actually overcome 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 Nicholas, 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 planned to go to the Holy Relic Tower to exchange for the mythical-level resources, but at that late 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 class 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 to come to headquarters?!”

“No, no.”

Bai Qi shook his head somberly. President Qin then explained 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 playing 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 recommended 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 rune combinations for different bloodline levels.

But they found out that undead creatures that used rune evolution had difficulty progressing further, and the regular 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, according 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 plans. 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 explained his discoveries in the Emperor’s Secret Realm to them.

“Rune structuring, Slave 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 slave 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 you later. 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 successful, you’ll become 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’ll come find you later?”

President Qin asked, “What, is your training session starting so soon?”

Bai Qi shook his head and said, “No, President Zhao compensated me with a mythical level resource. I plan 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 exclaimed 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!!!”
