Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 309: Chapter 305: Eve of the Sequence Battle

“Replicate the Blood Scythe Wraith?”

Hearing Chong Cao’s explanation, Bai Qi couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“That’s right, I felt that the image of that deceased spirit would make a fitting perpetual nightmare, so I planned to replicate it, but I didn’t expect…”

Chong Cao looked at Bai Qi with some embarrassment, evidently realizing that his earlier performance had been somewhat embarrassing.

Having behaved so poorly immediately after forming the pact, he feared he would be neglected by the Beast Master in the future.

“Replicate a perpetual nightmare?”

Hearing Chong Cao’s description, Bai Qi involuntarily envisioned the image of a red-robed Death God relentlessly pursuing through dreamlands, and his eyes brightened instantly.

Unexpectedly, this Chong Cao had quite the imagination.

“The idea is good, but your level is too low. Replicating a Legendary creature is too difficult. You can try to envision a similar creature, as long as the effect is similar it will be fine.”

Hearing Bai Qi didn’t blame him, Chong Cao was gratefully moved to tears, and he then began carefully considering Bai Qi’s suggestion.

“Alright, everyone should be tired. Let’s recover our strength quickly.”

Seeing the evidently fatigued five pets around him, Bai Qi took them all into the Secret Realm, fitted each one with a Platinum Egg, and then headed to his own room.

…

The Yixiu family.

An Obelisk covered with peculiar patterns stood in a large courtyard, reflecting dazzling golden light under the sun.

Near the Obelisk, Beast Masters from different factions had set up camp.

Because of the emergence of the Sun Secret Realm, a large number of Beast Masters flocked to the Yixiu family. Their motives were self-evident, of course, it was for the Insect System Myth inheritance within the Sun Secret Realm.

However, whether it was the Thirteenth Bureau representing the Federation, the association, or some independent Beast Masters, they all maintained a respectful distance from the Obelisk with an unspoken understanding.

The secret realm of Mythical Creatures inheritance represented the emergence of another Mythical Species bloodline in the Federation and also indicated the rise of a new prominent family.

Maybe for the ordinary Beast Masters from other parts of the Federation this was a bit far-fetched, but these Beast Masters who were active in the Western Region all year round knew very well that the Bo Ge family, the Yixiu family, and other such powers were able to maintain their family’s dominance under the Federation’s rule solely because of the Myth inheritance.

“Master Chun, when will this exploration sequence battle start?”

Feng Ye yawned out of boredom, basking in the warm light reflected from the Obelisk and said, “The other secret realms have all been ruled out, leaving only this one. Without question, the inheritance has to be inside here, right…?”

“Belch…”

Chun Yushui let out a satisfied burp, wiped his mouth in contentment, and said, “What’s the rush? Not all the principals have arrived yet, how could it start so early?”

“Principals?”

Understanding dawned on Feng Ye at hearing this, and looking at the other major forces who were also quietly waiting, he queried,

“So, we still have to wait for a few of the key characters to show up.”

“Of course, without the consent of several big shots, do you think this sequence battle can be organized?”

Chun Yushui chuckled and said, “Even though the secret realm found within a power’s territory belongs to them, the Mythical Secret Realm is not ordinary. Unless the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association gives the word, the Yixiu family dares not act recklessly.”

“This is really troublesome.”

Feng Ye stretched lazily and said, “Then I’m gonna take a nap first. When the sequence battle begins, remember to wake me up, Master Chun.”

Just as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly flashed overhead, followed by the appearance of a large jet-black bird beside the Obelisk.

“Don’t sleep just yet, Bai Chuanqi is here.”

Chun Yushui kicked Feng Ye and, ignoring Feng Ye’s reproachful gaze, walked over to Bai Heguang.

“Yo, Bai Qi, you’re here too?”

When Chun Yushui got to Bai Heguang and saw Bai Qi trailing behind him, he let out a laugh and said, “I told you we’d meet again soon. With your excellent potential for breaking through secret realms, how could the Association let you miss this sort of event?”

“Heh~ Uncle Chun, your bad luck charm is splendid.”

Bai Qi licked his lips. Although he was also looking forward to the Mythical Secret Realm, seeing Chun Yushui smug about it still made him somewhat dissatisfied.

Bai Heguang looked around and asked, “What’s the situation now?”

Chun Yushui shrugged and said, “We’re waiting. Now that you, Bai Chuanqi, are here, once King Legendary arrives, it should be about to start.”

“Hmm.”

Bai Heguang nodded, then turned to look to the side where a middle-aged man dressed somewhat oddly was striding toward him.

“Long time no see, Celestial Brilliance.”

The middle-aged man gave a hearty laugh and said, “If it hadn’t been for this Mythical Secret Realm, I fear there wouldn’t have been an opportunity to meet you.”

“It has been a while.”

Bai Heguang responded somewhat dispassionately, then turned to Bai Qi and said, “This is the Insect System Titled Legendary, ‘Gravekeeper’—Malik Ishaw, the current head of the Yixiu family.”

“Gravekeeper Legendary, nice to meet you.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi bowed to Malik, who examined Bai Qi curiously and asked, “Is this the disciple you accepted, as according to the rumors?”

“That’s right.”

Bai Heguang nodded and said, “Bai Qi, Gravekeeper Legendary and I have some matters to discuss. You go and prepare first.”

“Alright.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, then followed Chun Yushui and the others towards the Association’s base of operations.

“Bai Qi, are you representing the Association in this sequence battle?”

Feng Ye was just as surprised to see Bai Qi, but considering Bai Qi’s strength, it all made sense to him quickly.

“I will be participating, but whether I represent the association or not, I’m not sure.”

Bai Qi shrugged, saying, “Are you going to participate this time, Feng Ye?”

“Me? I’ll pass.”

Feng Ye shrugged his shoulders too and said, “I’m just here for the ride. It would be great to explore the secret realm, but if not, there’s nothing I can do.”

“The inheritance of the Mythical Secret Realm attracts all the monstrous talents from everywhere. I can’t compete.”

Seeing Feng Ye in this state, Bai Qi did not disagree. Even without considering the potentially absurd personalities other families might send, just the fact that many formidable people from the Yixiu family could potentially participate made the upcoming ranked battles seem challenging.

“By the way, do you know about the Rune Mechanical Armour that has been booming along with the Spirit-Control Orb?”

Bai Qi was taken aback, nodding, “Of course I’ve heard of it. I was the one who announced its debut.”

“Do you know Mo Zhu?! I want him to design a set of armour for my Earth Elemental spirit. Perhaps I won’t have to gamble on the triggering probability of skills again.”

Feng Ye’s face lit up with anticipation; he clearly saw the Rune Mechanical Armour as his lifeline.

“Uh… I’ll inquire about it for you.”

Bai Qi scratched his head. Everything else seemed easier, but influencing luck seemed to exceed the abilities of the Rune Mechanical Armour.

Should he find a reason to reject Feng Ye later?

“Actually, you don’t need to find Mo Zhu. Bai Qi is a member of the Rune Mechanical Armour research team. You can just ask him to design it for you.”

Luo Xiang suddenly approached both of them, ignoring Bai Qi’s exasperated expression, and said, “As far as I know, Bai Qi’s expertise in armour design is no less than Mo Zhu’s.”

My man, I signed a confidentiality agreement. Are you trying to get me in trouble?

Bai Qi’s mouth twitched. He wished he could seal Luo Xiang’s mouth, but given their power difference, Bai Qi could only swallow his words.

“Really?”

Feng Ye’s eyes sparkled and he said, “Right, you were the first to propose the theory of Rune Mechanical Armours. You surely know this stuff.”

“Come on, help me figure out how to design Earth Elemental armour?”

“I have thought about it. Just strengthening Earth Elemental’s attack a little, its defense a little, its speed a little, and then enhancing the probability of triggering the skills a little bit, that’s all. Not hard, right?”

Wow, just a ‘little bit’. If you keep going, wouldn’t we end up with a billion ‘little bits’?

Bai Qi’s eyes twitched slightly, but he still started thinking seriously about the design plan for the Earth Elemental.

Although being exposed was a risk, presenting himself honestly in front of others might be a good disguise, and this way, his newly designed armours wouldn’t be suspected in the future.

Tearing….

Just then, a ripping sound came from the sky, Bai Qi looked up and saw a gigantic teleport portal appear in the sky. Afterwards, a huge mech shrouded in starlight stepped out of it.

The legendary mechanical creation, Morning Star.

“The Starlight Legend is here too, huh. The sequence battle is about to start.”

Watching the Morning Star that slowly descended from the sky, Luo Xiang’s face revealed a smile. He then patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, saying, “Young man, try your best~”

Bai Qi’s mouth twitched but he didn’t respond.

After the Morning Star landed, Wang Chen stepped out from it, but he was not alone.

“Yi Yu, Li Xusheng?”

Bai Qi looked curiously at the two people quietly following Wang Chen, and guessed what was going on.

It seems, the Thirteenth Bureau plans to send Li Xusheng to the sequence battle.

“I thought I came early enough, didn’t expect to be beaten by you.”

Wang Chen walked up to Bai Heguang and said with a regretful face.

“I’ve been here for many days now. Also, don’t involve me in your boring competitions next time, we’re not that close.”

Bai Heguang responded coldly, and Wang Chen felt quite attacked; he said mournfully, “Suddenly feeling gloomy, don’t feel like watching the sequence battle anymore. Let’s move it till tomorrow.”

Once these words were out, all the eager Beast Masters were stunned. Before they could even react, Malik Ishaw had already agreed.

“That’s fine too, some Beast Masters just arrived today. Resting for one night to recharge is a good idea.”

After saying that, Malik Ishaw stepped aside and said, “The three of us haven’t gotten together in a long time, shall we have a chat inside?”

“Sure, I haven’t had anyone to chat with in a while.”

Hearing there would be a day to chat, Wang Chen was instantly interested. He then led Bai Heguang and Malik Ishaw into the Yixiu family residence. You would mistake it as Wang Chen’s home base just by looking at them.

“Uh… I suddenly understand why you admire King Legendary, Instructor Luo. You two… you’re really alike…”

Watching Wang Chen’s retreating figure, Bai Qi felt like he was seeing a plus-sized version of Luo Xiang.

“You think so? I think so too.”

Luo Xiang agreed with him after hearing this and then led Bai Qi towards the association.

“Let’s go, let’s go. We’re doing nothing anyways, let’s design Feng Ye’s armour first. Maybe it’ll be useful.”

“Instructor Luo, you might be overestimating me.”

“What’s there to panic about, if Mo Zhu can do it, why can’t you?”

“I…”
