Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

The top floor.

“Good, not only has your condition recovered, but your bone strength is also much stronger than before.”

Bai Qi looked at the data displayed on the instrument and nodded with satisfaction.

In order to better monitor the data after the evolution of the pets, the equipment of the Super God Evolution Research Institute was indeed quite complete, which naturally also included a full set of examination equipment.

Crackle crackle.

(“Boss, my Skeleton Manipulation seems to have awakened.”)

Alpha, who had fully recovered, had quietly contemplated before speaking.

“Skeleton Manipulation has awakened?”

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately began checking Alpha’s status.

[Name]: Death Sword Monarch (Alpha)

[Attribute]: Undead Department (Speed mutation)

[Growth Level]: Fifth Stage Sixth Level

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level King

[Racial Skills]: Death Force Field (Transcendent Level – Perfect), Sword of Death (Transcendent Level – Perfect), Sword of the Wind Chaser (Transcendent Level – Proficient), Sword of Retributive Karma (Transcendent level – Proficient), Dark Reflection (Super Level – Perfect), Gravity Amplification (Super Level – Perfect), Dragon Dominance (High Level – Perfect), Skeleton Manipulation (High Level – Awakened)

[Energy Value]: 55E9600W

…

“‘Breaking to build,’ novels really aren’t lying.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Since Alpha had upgraded to a king, the old bone training method was hardly ever used. However, he didn’t expect that his shattering by the flame demon would turn into a blessing in disguise.

With this thought, Bai Qi once again focused his mind, looking at Skeleton Manipulation.

[Skill Name]: Skeleton Manipulation

[Skill Level]: High Level

[Skill Introduction]: Skeletal type skill, it allows free control of bones for change and strengthening.

[Skill Upgrade]: Skeleton Mastery (Super Level): Can control the skeleton within the perception range.

Awakening Plan: Fuse with the bone of a higher-level skeletal creature.

…

Skeleton Mastery, Skeleton Manipulation, a difference of a single word, but the meanings were starkly different.

“Skeleton Mastery, one of the prerequisite skills to trigger the Undead Catastrophe, it indeed evolved from Skeleton Manipulation.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Since the Evolution Egg had upgraded to diamond level, he was able to access more information in the Skill Atlas, including the awakening plan for high-level skills.

“High-level skeletal creature bones, such a simple evolutionary condition.”

Bai Qi smiled, already formulating a plan in his mind.

“By the way, Alpha, how is the Fire Armor Swordsman now?”

Due to the need for refuge, Bai Qi hadn’t paid much attention to the Fire Armor Swordsman, only later hearing from Alpha that the evolution had been successful.

Crackle crackle.

(“It’s doing well, with strong fire control.”)

Alpha summoned the Fire Armor Swordsman. The temperature in the entire research area instantly rose a few degrees, but the Fire Armor Swordsman immediately reined in the flames, causing the temperature to quickly drop back down.

“Indeed, it’s good.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. The evolution of the Fire Armor Swordsman was one of the gains from their trip to the Fire Element World.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t enter the Water Element World, else his Water Armor Swordsman might have also been upgraded.

“Let’s buy some attribute materials afterwards to see if we can push up the levels of the other three.”

Bai Qi asked Alpha to put away the Fire Armor Swordsman and he walked to the window, gazing out dreamily towards Undead Hill.

“Forget it, let’s go find Cha.”

…

“You’re saying you need some of the Bone Dragon’s bones?”

Bai Qiucha looked at Bai Qi in surprise, clearly not expecting him to make such a request.

“Yes, I want to try and improve Alpha’s Skeleton Manipulation skill.”

Bai Qi nodded. The method to awaken Skeleton Manipulation to Skeleton Mastery was by fusing it with the bones of a higher-level skeletal creature. Although Gusu City had the Twilight Tomb as a readily available collection point, it was too troublesome. It was more convenient to directly ask for some from Bai Qiucha’s Bone Dragon.

“So it’s for materials.”

Bai Qiucha understood and replied, “I don’t have a problem with it, but getting the Bone Dragon to knock off some of its own bones, I’m afraid it might act up.”

Seeing Bai Qiucha’s reaction, Bai Qi couldn’t help but pause, saying, “That seems to be the case…”

The soul of Bai Qiucha’s Bone Dragon was originally of the Emperor bloodline. Though it was currently only at the high king level due to Bai Qiucha’s own level, the soul hadn’t changed. To be used as material and have its bones knocked off, indeed seemed a bit disrespectful.

“This way then, you let Alpha have another match with my Bone Dragon. I think if he can win, the Bone Dragon probably wouldn’t mind.”

Bai Qiucha pointed at the battlefield next to them and smirked.

“Guess we’ll need to face off, huh?”

Bai Qi rubbed his forehead in a sigh. He had originally intended to avoid any trouble by asking Cha for some bone materials. But it seemed that they were back at the starting point.

“Alright, let’s fight. It’s less troublesome than going to the Twilight Tomb.”

Both of them stepped onto the battlefield. An enormous Bone Dragon materialized instantly. It exuded the majestic aura of a dragon, so powerful that it dispersed the clouds overhead.

The Bone Dragon, which could be summoned just by recalling its unique password, now had a bloodline level equivalent to a high-grade monarch at its peak. If things went as planned, once Cha advanced to the sixth stage Beast Trainer, its bloodline level would be upgraded to the Emperor Peak.

“However, a skeleton like this should have a better chance of upgrading.”

Bai Qi smirked and summoned Alpha, which directly confronted the Bone Dragon’s aura.

Both emanated dragon’s aura but the Bone Dragon’s was pure, immense, powerful, and mysterious.

On the other hand, Alpha seemed to hold a sharper aura due to its sword techniques. As if a sharp sword, it directly penetrated through the Bone Dragon’s aura.

“So I heard from dad, Bai Qi, that you’ve reached the sixth stage? Don’t hold back just because of that. I want to see how far behind I am.”

A flash of battle spirit appeared in Bai Qiucha’s eyes. He initiated the attack even before Bai Qi could respond.

“A surprise attack? Cha, you’re picking up bad habits, huh?”

Seeing the Bone Dragon, who launched a dragon breath attack immediately, Bai Qi couldn’t help but stick his tongue out.

With the evolution of Alpha’s speed mutation, its upper hand had grown significantly. Surprisingly, it managed to counter-attack before the dragon breath could hit, reaching the Bone Dragon first. The Sword of Death was thrust mercilessly towards the Bone Dragon’s spine.

Roar!

The Bone Dragon roared, and its massive bone tail smashed towards the side, in a do-or-die manner.

Despite this, Alpha showed no signs of dodging. Instead, it used the momentum from the tail smash to speed up its thrust into the Bone Dragon’s spine.

Clink!

The Sword of Death struck directly on the spine, but it was blocked by a blue dragon scale. It merely created a tiny indent.

In contrast, Alpha shattered on impact.

“Summoning a soul for armor, you’re creative.”

Bai Qi seized the opportunity to observe Bai Qiucha and noticed an unusual pattern flashing on his forehead.

It was the Spirit Master’s talent.

“The Power of Death is too dangerous, even the Bone Dragon can’t touch it casually.”

Bai Qiucha grinned, suddenly mimed drawing a bow, and a set of soul arrows and bow appeared in her hand.

“Wait, don’t tell me this is also the Spirit Master’s talent?”

Bai Qi was stunned. He knew about Bai Qiucha’s Skeleton Armor. Although it was not a fusion talent, it could perform armament fusion with the Bone Dragon, making its effect as powerful as any fusion talent.

But now, Bai Qiucha suddenly summoned soul armament. Bai Qi was caught off-guard.

“I only have one pet, so naturally, I have more abilities from my talent.”

Bai Qiucha shrugged and shot an arrow into the empty spot next to the Bone Dragon.

Clink!

A black long sword emerged from the shadows, cutting off the incoming soul arrow. Alpha then darted out of the shadows.

“Alpha’s concealment ability is getting stronger. But, it can’t hide from the soul.”

Bai Qiucha’s eyes flickered with blue fireflies, locking onto Alpha’s position.

“Soul armament, and the earlier soul revival and skeleton armor, Cha, don’t tell me you gain a new ability each time you upgrade.”

Bai Qi was envious, and upon seeing Bai Qiucha nodding, he felt more envious.

An ability with multiple capabilities under one talent, does an outrageous ability like that really exist?

Wait, this sounded like the Evolution Egg.

Suddenly, it felt quite ordinary.

Bai Qi quickly collected his thoughts and looked at Alpha, which was simultaneously dealing with Bone Dragon and Cha’s attacks. He said, “Alpha, this one can take a beating. There’s no need to go easy.”

Creak, creak.

(Rest assured, boss. I got it.)

Alpha evaded Bai Qiucha’s soul arrow and immediately gripped the Pursuing Wind Blade that was aimed at the Bone Dragon’s right leg.

The Bone Dragon was huge, possessing terrifying destruction power. However, against rivals like Alpha, with a smaller size and extreme speed, its offensive powers were worthless without mobility, as it could do nothing but take hits.

However, the Bone Dragon remarkably recognized this and made its soul armor appear just as the Pursuing Wind Blade was about to hit, trying to fend off the blade.

Just as the Pursuing Wind Blade was about to strike the soul armor, a charcoal-like long sword arrived first effortlessly penetrating through the Bone Dragon’s soul armor. Before the Bone Dragon and Bai Qiucha could react, ‘The Blade of Pursuing Wind’ effortlessly landed on the Bone Dragon’s leg bone.

The Blade of Pursuing Wind could cut through anything but couldn’t cut the soul, which, to the Sword of Retributive Karma, was just fuel.

“A blade that can burn the soul? Bai Qi, you’re getting stronger.”

Bai Qiucha’s eyes narrowed as she watched the frustrated Bone Dragon dealing with Alpha’s dual swords. The rune mark on her forehead suddenly emitted a bright light, and the enormous Bone Dragon disintegrated into countless parts and flew back towards her.

In an instant, a majestic armor formed around Bai Qiucha. She threw her arms open, one blue, and one white. The Bone Blade and the Soul Blade, two long swords, appeared in her hands.

“This is my strongest form at the moment. Let’s do it again!”
