Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

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 place 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 – ”

He was firmly in first place for the academic component of the training. The only real threat was Lu Qing, but Lu Qing’s performance in practical combat lagged far behind his.

As for practical combat, 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 practical combat, Bai Qi was not worried, because Cha’s academic performance, especially in Rune studies, was quite inferior compared 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 to come early and ask Zhao Futu for the first- place reward.

“Hahaha…”

Having heard Bai Qi’s explanation, Zhao Futu burst into laughter. “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 but laugh. “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 to come in first in this assessment!”

Another joint assessment? Another first place? Can’t these presidents come 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 a large family and a large 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 – better not waste the perks that fall into your lap.

Zhao Futu asked, “By the way, I heard that the Legendary Giant Dragon moved to Old Lady Fan’s place?”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Old Lady Fan said she needed someone to plant crops, so she took Nicholas 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 another layer 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 Nicholas to cling to Old Lady Fan’s coattails, then he’ll no longer fear being exploited.

“Mr. Chairman, weren’t wingless dragons extinct? How come 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 become 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 classes 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 regular 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 elatedly, 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 become 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 Black Python Tribe last 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 active lately, 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 similar 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 popularization 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.
