Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 397: Chapter 393: Trial of Fire

Boom!

A wave of air instantly swept the whole arena, followed by a deafening explosion.

The shockwave caused by Alpha and Li Xusheng’s attacks had shockingly surpassed the speed of sound!

“When did little Xusheng become this powerful?!”

Watching the aftermath of the two’s battle, Wang Chuan’s face was full of surprise; the other three members of Zero Team were also somewhat taken aback.

“Do you think being a Dual Talent user only means having one extra talent? Xusheng has always had more potential than us; he just didn’t show it normally.”

Tan Lang looked at the arena below, obscured by fire and blood thunder, and said, “By simultaneously integrating five beasts and coordinating with blood control, Xusheng’s fighting power can definitely be considered invincible at his level.”

“Um, then what does this guy count as?”

Wang Chuan suddenly pointed at Bai Qi on the side. If Li Xusheng was now invincible at his level, then what did this guy who was on par with Li Xusheng count as?

Tan Lang fell silent, and at this moment, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the scene on the arena.

The arena was now in a state of disrepair, and in the very center of the arena, a crystal skeleton stood proudly, its four long swords pointing diagonally at the distance.

Where the swords were pointed was Li Xusheng, who had been knocked clear out of the arena.

Li Xusheng knelt on one knee, all five blood tails behind him had disappeared, and beside him lay five beasts that clearly were not in good shape.

“I lost.”

Li Xusheng glanced at the state of his beasts, stood up, and admitted his defeat very openly.

In the battle just now, both parties did not open their power fields and went head-to-head purely.

Li Xusheng keenly felt that his power was slightly above Alpha’s, but he was far inferior in other aspects. After Alpha’s four swords cut off his five blood tails, his defeat was already confirmed.

The reason was simple. His five blood tails were formed by controlling the blood of the five beasts with his own blood. Although this greatly enhanced his combat power, if the blood tails were seriously damaged, the five beasts would also be significantly impacted.

But losing was losing, and Li Xusheng would not make excuses for himself.

Seeing the two in such a state, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor also stood up from his seat and landed on the arena.

“Since you are the one who ultimately won, relax and prepare to receive my blessing.”

Despite seeing all his bloodline fall, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor showed no regret. He directly formed a tiny blood orb in his hand with the intention of throwing it on Alpha.

However, upon seeing the Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s action, Alpha took a step back and then leaped back beside Bai Qi.

“What, you want to give up the blessing?”

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor saw this and gave a light smile, apparently anticipating Alpha’s actions.

Bai Qi nodded and said, “That’s right, we give up the blessing. According to the rules, it should automatically pass to the second place, right?”

Although Alpha defeated Li Xusheng, according to the rules, if the first place gives up, it can be forwarded to the second place. In this way, Alpha would not be embarrassed, and the mission from the Thirteenth Bureau could be completed too.

Win-win!

“Normally, that’s true. You could even transfer it to someone who didn’t compete.”

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s face harbored an evil grin. “But, I don’t want to…”

Upon hearing the Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s words, Bai Qi’s smile stiffened. But before he could discuss it with Yi Yu, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor suddenly threw the blood orb onto Li Xusheng’s body.

“Just kidding.”

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor lightly leaped back to his position, while Li Xusheng, who had absorbed the blood orb, suddenly spewed out streams of blood, enveloping both him and the five beasts.

Klackle Klackle.

(Boss, I feel that the levels of those beasts are increasing rapidly, and their connection with Li Xusheng is getting deeper.)

“Directly boosting levels?”

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at the increasingly strong Li Xusheng below and suddenly felt some regret.

It felt like a bargain was missed.

“You can relax. The Thirteenth Bureau won’t let you get the short end of the stick.”

Yi Yu seemed to perceive Bai Qi’s thoughts, smiled at him, and made a guarantee. Then she leaped and directly arrived in front of Li Xusheng, gently tapped him, and Li Xusheng instantly disappeared from the spot.

“I’ll take Xusheng back to rest first, I’ll come to discuss the reward with you later.”

After saying this, Yi Yu agilely strolled through the crowded beasts and ran toward the Thirteenth Bureau’s resting room.

The first Blood Trial ended in such a dramatic way. Although the transcendent creatures didn’t understand why Alpha gave up the Blood Blessing, they quickly threw this question to the back of their minds given the spectacular battle they just witnessed.

Some Beast Masters, however, were quite annoyed at Bai Qi’s behavior.

But they could only silently complain.

The Thirteenth Bureau, the Association, neither of which could they oppose. Other than complaining, what else could they do?

Moreover, the Blood Trial had passed, it was time to focus on the next trial.

“I’ll take the next one,”

The Guardian of Fire – Red Lotus Enchantress, covered in a dark-red flame, rose to her feet. Looking down at the largely destroyed arena, she stretched her hands out flat before her chest, and a flaming lotus took shape, gently falling to the ground.

Immediately, the Red Lotus blossomed, growing larger and faster until it covered the arena.

“My Trial of Fire is straightforward. You simply need to enter the small world within these Red Lotus petals. The first one to return to the Lotus pod will receive my blessings.”

The Red Lotus Enchantress’ assessment was significantly more complex than that of the Eternal Night Blood Emperor; the lotus had exactly thirty-six petals.

That meant that in just a moment, the Red Lotus Enchantress had created thirty-six small worlds.

“The Twelve Guardians aren’t just for show.”

Bai Qi glanced at the figure of the Red Lotus Enchantress concealed behind the fiery petals above, hastily grabbed the insect grass beside him, and just as quickly threw it down, claiming a piece of the Red Lotus for himself.

Seeing Bai Qi’s actions, the other Beast Masters and transcendent creatures quickly reacted, scrambling to jump onto the Red Lotus, taking up the remaining petals.

Suddenly, all thirty-six petals were occupied, and the transcendent creatures that were slow to react were pushed back by an invisible force.

Thirty-six petals, and likewise, thirty-six challenges.

The moment the Red Lotus Enchantress announced the rules, the Trial of Fire had begun!

“Bai Qi actually didn’t send his skeletal creature but sent an insect-system beast instead? Is this arrogance, or has he gone mad?”

Lilith, seeing this scene, sneered in her typical manner. Given the strong fire attribute skills that Alpha had shown, it seemed absurd for Bai Qi to have sent an insect-system creature, which the fire attribute inherently countered.

“Lilith, I’ve told you many times. Don’t underestimate an opponent who has defeated you. If you forget again, I may consider requesting the leader to take back your Judgement Angel’s divine nature.”

Dean’s gaze passed over her lightly. Lilith’s face turned as white as chalk. She nodded repeatedly and didn’t dare say another word.

She was acutely aware that if Dean said this, he would follow through. She had tried to restrain herself as much as she could, but she couldn’t help it when she saw Bai Qi.

Perhaps, the shock of seeing Gamma fracture the Judgement Angel’s wings was too much.

“Take a good look at your opponent. This will be beneficial for your future growth, especially when Ellis fights with him…”

Dean looked at the Judgement Angel, who had also managed to claim a petal.

“Leader, are you sure you want me to participate in this trial? I’m just an insect and a plant…”

Both insect-system and plant attribute bloodlines instinctively made the insect grass resistant to flames, let alone when all the creatures around them were exuding high temperatures.

Compared to blood control, the fire attribute was a mainstream power, and the number of transcendent creatures with the respective attribute was high.

For this reason, the creatures standing on this Red Lotus were mainly fire attribute creatures at the King-level.

“And dragons…you possess both mythical and legendary bloodlines, so stop cowering.”

Seeing the insect grass behaving like this, Bai Qi was immediately speechless. “Even if you are an insect, you should see what kind of insect you are. With the bloodline of the Sun Beetle, are you still afraid of the fire?”

“Oh, is that so?”

Hearing these words, the insect grass had a sudden realization, and its confidence was restored.

“Be serious. If this fire heritage is lost, whatever Gamma does to you, I won’t interfere.”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, the insect grass was startled. It suddenly erupted in an unprecedented fighting spirit.

For the sake of not being used to make soup by Gamma, it had to give everything!

“Bai Qi, what did you say to your creature? Why is it suddenly so enthusiastic?”

Wang Chuan suddenly popped up from the side, looking down at the insect grass, which was ready for action. “I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen when it faces Ye Ge.”

“Ye Ge is also a fire attribute Beast Master? It seems Epsilon has no hope then.”

Bai Qi casually commended, but his nonchalant demeanor was far from convincing.

“Hahaha… Bai Qi, you really are something. However, it’s not Ye Ge that you need to worry about.”

Wang Chuan pursed his lips, his gaze falling onto the Judgement Angel by the side.

“This guy has been ranking higher than Ye Ge for many years.”

“Wang Chuan, are you looking for a spar with me again?”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Qi felt a chill sweep over him. The surrounding temperature instantly plummeted. When he breathed out, his breath immediately condensed into fog.

Ice attribute?

Bai Qi was mildly surprised. Having an ice attribute yet contracting with a fire beast?

Was he afraid of freezing so he was gathering fire for warmth?

“Ahaha~ Ye Ge, you are actually getting excited. If the leader sees this, he will surely praise me!”

Wang Chuan seemed oblivious to Ye Ge’s displeasure, and continued to ramble on about Ye Ge and Ellis’s past, pausing only when Tan Lang interrupted him.

“Pay attention to the match. The mission we received from the leader is to strive to receive all blessings, so take it seriously!”
