Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 119: Infinite Stacking of Resistance?

With the head instructor Leng Feifei absent, the trainees were no longer restricted, making their return journey much easier, and they quickly returned to the assembly hall one after another.

However, judging from the fact that Leng Feifei did not take away the secret realm gate, they will probably come here quite often in the next six months.

With that in mind, the beast tamers all left to prepare for the next day's training.

Although it's unclear what kind of training will follow, the first priority is to ensure they pass the first two tasks; otherwise, there would be no point in them participating in this training camp.

However, none of these things concerned Bai Qi. After leaving the training secret realm, Bai Qi went straight back to his room and then entered his own secret realm.

"Alpha, call Icebone and the others over here."

As soon as Bai Qi entered the secret realm, he had Alpha bring over the hardworking skeleton soldiers, and then woke up the slime monsters that were taking a nap after eating and drinking their fill.

"Can you absorb the energy from them?"

Click-clack?

A question mark appeared above the slime's head, clearly unaware of Bai Qi's intentions.

"Tsk, no contract is such a hassle."

Bai Qi had no choice but to bring out Beta as the translator once again.

Wang Wang!

(Humans made you eat that skeleton.)

Click?

(tasty?)

Wang Wang!

(tasty!)

After a series of communications, the slime finally understood Bai Qi's meaning, and its body rapidly expanded, directly enveloping the ice skeleton.

Subsequently, the cold aura emanating from Binggu began to decrease at a visible rate until it disappeared completely. Due to the rapid depletion of energy, Binggu was unable to maintain her standing posture and collapsed to the ground.

Icebone was only a mid-level servant with a low rank and pitifully little energy, making it unable to withstand the devastation of the slime's energy-draining skill.

"The energy absorption rate seems to be faster than I expected."

Bai Qi nodded upon seeing this, and then gestured for Alpha to pull the slime monster off the ice bone.

The transformation of the secret realm still depends on these few free laborers; we can't let the slime monsters suck them up and ruin it.

Bai Qi placed his hand over the slime monster and carefully sensed it, but he couldn't find any resistance to freezing on it.

"Is the lack of ice resistance due to the weakness of the Ice Bone, or does the development of resistance also require a specific opportunity?"

Bai Qi paused for a moment, then said, "Alpha, create an ice crystal barrier, and remember to control its intensity."

Since the power of shadow and the power of frost merged into the power of decay, Alpha has lost the ability to directly control frost and can only control it indirectly through the ice crystal barrier.

Crackling.

(Master, do you really have to do this? I'm afraid it will get hurt.)

Alpha could tell that Bai Qi valued the slime monster highly, and he hesitated somewhat.

"It's alright, I can withstand the explosive power, I won't die."

Alpha nodded upon hearing this and carefully conjured a palm-sized ice crystal barrier, which he then presented to the slime monster.

Click-clack?

(Food?)

The slime circled the ice crystal barrier a few times before swallowing it whole.

Sure enough, even though Alpha deliberately reduced the energy on the ice crystal barrier, the slime was still struggling to cope with its current level.

The moment the slime swallowed the ice crystal barrier, it was instantly frozen, and cracks appeared on its emerald-like body surface, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Holy crap, I've broken this!"

Upon seeing the slime's appearance, Bai Qi immediately asked Beta to help thaw it. Suddenly, the ice crystals on the slime's surface shattered, and the slime emerged unharmed.

Snap snap snap

"It's delicious! I want some more!"

The slime monster clearly loved the smell of the ice crystal barrier, and jumped directly onto Alpha and wouldn't leave.

Awooo...

(This dog is finally free...)

This scene moved Beta to tears, and his previously dormant artistic spirit was rekindled.

Seeing that the slime was unharmed, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, placed his palm on the slime, and began to check its condition.

[Name]: Slime Monster

[Attribute]: Alien (Physical Mutation)

[Growth Level]: Tier 0, Level 9

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Servant

[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption, Mimicry, Corrosion, Toxin Resistance, Explosion Resistance, Radiation Resistance, Electric Current Resistance, Frost Resistance

[Energy Value]: 3000

[Status]: Can Evolve

"As expected, it's because Ice Bone is too weak."

Seeing the frost resistance appear on the slime, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Based on the current results, as long as the slime absorbs enough elemental energy and does not die, it can develop the corresponding resistance.

Judging from the current situation, if resistance can be stacked infinitely, given enough resources and time, perhaps the Slime could become the first pet with full resistance in the history of the Federation.

"Magic resistance is fine, but I wonder about physical resistance?"

Bai Qi watched as the slime monster roamed around Alpha, trying to devour the crystal armor on Alpha's body, and immediately began the next test.

However, the result was not unexpected for Bai Qi.

Looking at the slime monster on the ground that was easily crushed into countless pieces by Alpha's gentle tap, Bai Qi felt regret but also thought it was only natural.

"To give a slime monster the talent of both physical and magical resistance, I was really too cruel."

Bai Qi chuckled self-deprecatingly, but quickly put on a confident smile.

It's unrealistic to expect someone to have both natural resistances, but it seems like it's not impossible to develop them later on.

"Let's go buy some materials first."

Having initially verified the possibility of the slime monster having maxed out its magic resistance, Bai Qi didn't linger any longer. He left the secret realm and logged directly into the association's website, ready to shop till he dropped.

Fire Armor Shell, Purple Thunder Earth, Bone-Swallowing Wood...

Bai Qi bought up all sorts of strange and unusual materials, behaving like a complete spendthrift.

Because it was at the association's headquarters, Bai Qi's order was delivered shortly after he placed it.

"Hello, please sign for your order."

The deliveryman's attire was similar to Lu Qing's, both wearing a one-piece robe, with only the badge on their chest being slightly different.

Lu Qing's was a book, while the deliveryman's was a big tree.

This deliveryman is also a member of the Six Towers.

"Thanks."

Bai Qi nodded and was about to take the box from the deliveryman when the deliveryman avoided him, saying, "There are quite a few fragile items inside, let me do it."

The deliveryman walked around Bai Qi and carefully placed the box in Bai Qi's room. Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "This is a list of precautions for these items. Please be careful."

Bai Qi took the paper from the deliveryman, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The fire armor shell should be handled with care, as it will produce high temperatures that can burn the skin if it breaks.

Purple Thunder Soil has a mild nature, but it cannot be mixed with materials of water or fire attributes, as this can easily cause thunderstorms.

Bone-swallowing wood is highly corrosive, so it is recommended to wear gloves when handling it. Direct contact with the sap will allow it to penetrate into the bones and cause them to soften.

……

A sheet of paper was filled with notes and instructions on how to handle all the materials, much more detailed than the instructions on the website. Bai Qi had every reason to suspect that the deliveryman had compiled the notes himself.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I still have quite a few orders waiting for me to deliver."

Seeing that Bai Qi was watching intently, the deliveryman had no intention of staying any longer, but he was stopped by Bai Qi as soon as he reached the door.

"Hello, did you organize all of these things yourself?"

The deliveryman nodded and said, "I guess so. I deal with these things all day long, so I just tidied up a bit when I had nothing else to do."

Bai Qi said, "So, you figured it out yourself, one by one?"

A look of confusion crossed the deliveryman's face, and he asked, "Otherwise what?"

Uh, never mind if I didn't ask.

Bai Qi nodded reluctantly and said, "You should also be a member of the Six Towers, right?"

The deliveryman nodded and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Yi Xiaowei, an apprentice at the Tower of Sacred Relics."

"Bai Qi."

Bai Qi shook hands with Yi Xiaowei and said, "Judging from your age, you should be about my age. Why didn't I see you in the training camp?"

Yi Xiaowei shrugged and said, "I'm not good at fighting, so I won't waste my time. It's more comfortable to deal with materials."

comfortable?

Are you sure the things you're doing are comfortable?

Looking at the dangerous situations that Yi Xiaowei had personally tested and compiled on the paper, Bai Qi couldn't help but smack his lips.

Just as Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs in ancient times, Yi Xiaowei now tests countless materials.

There are still many amazing people in this world!

"I still have orders to deliver, so I have to talk to you now. If you're interested in this, you can come find me at the Tower of Relics later."

Yi Xiaowei checked the time, waved to Bai Qi, and hurriedly left.

"The Tower of Sacred Relics... Yi Xiaowei... I really need to go check it out sometime."

Bai Qi watched Yi Xiaowei leave, then picked up the materials she had brought and returned to the secret realm.

"Hey slime, come on, let's eat some dirt and see how it goes."

……

the next day.

Assembly Hall.

Having learned from the experience of the first day, the beast tamers, who were originally traveling light, were now fully armed.

Some brought supplements, some brought cooking utensils, and some even brought a complete set of detoxification equipment.

"They've all developed a psychological trauma from eating this..."

Bai Qi strolled into the hall with his hands in his pockets, glanced at the other beast tamers, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Luckily, I have a secret space where I can put anything, otherwise I probably would have ended up like this.

"Bai Qi, where's your slime monster? Let me play with it."

Upon seeing Bai Qi arrive, Zhou Yan immediately ran over, eagerly asking Bai Qi for the slime monster.

"Um, the slime monster might be a little inconvenient these days. Why don't you go find Bai Qiucha instead?"

Bai Qi immediately pictured a slime monster that seemed to be spitting out colorful bubbles, and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

After purchasing a large amount of materials, Bai Qi conducted a series of experiments on the slime monster. However, the slime monster was slow to digest this kind of physical substance, but it could not resist the temptation of "delicious food", resulting in an expected outcome.

I'm so full.

"Inconvenient? Do slimes even have males and females?"

creak...

Just as Zhou Yan was wondering, the door slowly opened with a creaking sound, and all the students immediately turned their attention to the doorway.

It wasn't Leng Feifei they expected who arrived, but Zhang Shan, who had previously brought Bai Qi and the others to the Six Towers.

Zhang Shan looked around and said, "I'll be in charge of today's training; the exercise will be practical combat!"
