Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 126 Discovering the Secret Tower

Bai Qiucha, watching Zhou Yan excitedly assigning number plates, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yan, is this really a good idea?"

Call me Boss!

Zhou Yan glared at Bai Qiucha and said, "The instructor only said that enough points are enough to pass, but he didn't say what method to use. What's wrong with that?"

Lu Qing adjusted her glasses, her gaze never leaving the book in her hands, and said, "I agree with Zhou Yan on this point. Our method is indeed the most efficient, and the process is not important."

"Uh-huh."

Gu Shan nodded as well, and silently put away his number plate.

"All right."

Bai Qiucha glanced at Bai Qi, who was secretly laughing to himself, and sighed helplessly.

His upbringing primarily focused on confronting the enemy head-on, with almost no consideration given to taking shortcuts.

This is the second time she has done this since she met Bai Qi.

First they abandoned the Tower of Gratitude, then they organized a group to rob it; who knows what else will happen...

Drop drop drop...

Just then, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the cave, and two figures appeared on the screen.

"That's... Xiao Yuan and Li Mu?"

Zhou Yan went closer to take a look and immediately recognized the two people.

"How did these two end up together?"

Lu Qing said, "If we stick together, others will naturally stick together too; that's normal."

Zhou Yan suddenly realized, and then said excitedly, "Perfect! I've been getting bored of just bullying newbies these past few days. Let's have a couple of Tier 4 opponents to make it more exciting."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan wanted to pull everyone out to fight together.

Lu Qing calmly turned the page and said, "Sorry, I'm only at level three. I don't want to learn from someone else's experience of fighting against opponents of higher levels."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan smacked her lips and looked at Gu Shan. Gu Shan simply raised two fingers silently, then glanced at Lu Qing, his attitude quite obvious.

"How boring. Second Master, Third Master, you two come with me for a stroll."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged a glance and sighed silently.

He had originally thought that by bringing Zhou Yan and the others into the group, he wouldn't have to worry about being robbed, and he could stay here peacefully for the full seven days.

Contrary to expectations, Zhou Yan seemed to really enjoy his role as the leader, and actually took the initiative to lead them out to rob someone!

Although they gained a lot, their reputations were completely ruined.

Alas, my reputation...

The two reluctantly followed Zhou Yan out of the cave, while Xiao Yuan and Li Mu had already arrived at the crossroads.

Upon seeing Bai Qi appear, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Bai Qi, it really is you. I knew Zhou Yan's intelligence wouldn't have led him to such an efficient method as group robbery."

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly.

This time, his reputation as the second-in-command of bandits has been completely cemented...

"Xiao Yuan, what do you mean?! You want to fight again?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's veins bulged, and he immediately activated his soul, preparing to fight.

Xiao Yuan shrugged and said, "Sorry, we've fought 534 times, with 498 of them ending in a draw. The rest were unfinished, so I don't plan to waste any more time."

"So what do you want to do here?"

Zhou Yan looked at the two of them with some curiosity, while Xiao Yuan took a step back and said, "Li Mu just wanted to come and talk to Bai Qi. I'm just a guide, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Li Mu?"

Zhou Yan was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Li Mu, then at Bai Qi behind him, and seemed to understand something.

"Uh, what did I do this time?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes had suddenly turned to him again, Bai Qi looked bewildered, while Li Mu stepped forward and looked at Bai Qi seriously.

"Bai Qi, from today onwards, you are my rival in love!"

A love rival? What the heck is that?

Bai Qi was increasingly confused, while Bai Qiucha suddenly leaned in and said, "Li Mu and Lu Qing are from the same city, and they're said to be childhood sweethearts. If I'm not mistaken, they've probably set their sights on you."

Lu Qing, brother, I've barely exchanged more than ten sentences with her. Do you have to be so sensitive?

"Um, aren't you misunderstanding something?"

Bai Qi sighed, about to explain, but Li Mu simply shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I won't use my level to crush you. Since you're good at runes, I'll defeat you in runes and prove that I'm the most suitable for Lu Qing."

After saying that, Li Mu turned and left without giving Bai Qi a chance to refute him.

"Brother, are you always this stubborn?"

Bai Qi looked at Bai Qiucha speechlessly, and after receiving confirmation from her, he remained silent.

So, he really was fooled by the empty promises Qin made.

Where are the resources that even the masters and legends envy? For no reason, another "love rival" has appeared. We haven't even tasted the sweetness of this training camp, but we've already suffered quite a bit.

"Forget it, since they're not here to steal our business, it doesn't matter."

Seeing this, Zhou Yan released the spirit possession and patted Bai Qi with some sympathy, saying, "But Bai Qi, you need to be careful from now on. Li Mu is a man of his word, and you'll have a lot of trouble with him in the future."

Bai Qi remained silent upon hearing this, but just then, Zhang Shan's long-absent voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Time's up, this training session is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qi felt a dizzying sensation, and they were back in the assembly hall once again.

"Damn it, all my equipment hasn't been recycled yet!"

As soon as Bai Qi landed, he was about to complain when he noticed dozens of eyes on him.

Of course, it was all hostility.

Good heavens, the training hasn't even lasted ten days, and we're already surrounded by enemies.

Bai Qi let out a heavy breath, and instead calmed down, accepting the scrutiny of these gazes with equanimity.

The saying goes, "The more debts you have, the less you worry." You already have so many enemies, what difference does it make if a few more come?

Zhang Shan also noticed everyone's gaze and glanced at Bai Qi, but didn't say anything. He simply began to silently announce the list of those who had passed.

According to the original system, only about a quarter of the trainees could pass the training. Now, because of Bai Qi, the number is even smaller, so Zhang Shan quickly finished reporting.

"Take a break today, report on time tomorrow for a theory class."

Zhang Shan put away the report card, turned around and left, leaving a group of beast tamers in tears.

It's not easy; finally, someone thought of providing the course schedule in advance.

Instructor, could you please slow down? We haven't even had a chance to complain yet.

"Phew~ I can finally rest for a bit."

Bai Qi stretched. These past few days, besides robbing... oops, I mean, chatting amicably with Zhou Yan and his classmates, he had been researching how to improve the husky. However, due to environmental constraints, he hadn't been able to make any modifications. Now, he could finally tinker with it properly.

Zhou Yan walked up to Bai Qi, and with a very bold gesture, put his arm around Bai Qi's neck, saying, "Second Master, do you have anything planned for this afternoon?"

Sister, you're getting too into character, and that look in your eyes is really scary.

Is this another robbery?

This is not training; robbery is illegal.

Bai Qi said, "I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest."

"Rest? Young people, do you have to be so weak?"

Zhou Yan gave Bai Qi a disdainful look and said, "Perfect timing. I know a restaurant that's very knowledgeable about dietary supplements. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to a good meal to nourish yourself."

After saying that, Zhou Yan didn't wait for Bai Qi to refuse, and turned to look at Bai Qiucha and the others, saying, "Third Master, and Bai Zhishan, you all come along."

"I refuse."

Lu Qing closed her book and said, "I need to report to the teacher about what happened these past few days. You guys go ahead."

"Also, stop calling me White Paper Fan."

After saying that, Lu Qing left the hall without looking back.

"It's so boring, that's why I don't like reading."

Zhou Yan smacked his lips, looked at Gu Shan, and said, "Then Gu Shan, you can play. It's not fun when we're short one player."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shan obediently followed behind Zhou Yan without any intention of resisting.

After spending these few days together, Gu Shan had completely become Zhou Yan's subordinate, the kind who obeyed his every word.

"The shop that Sister Yan mentioned is indeed good. Bai Qi, you can give it a try."

Bai Qiucha said, "We often deal with the undead, so we do need to take care of our health."

Bai Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing this.

Who needs to take care of their health? I was just being polite. You took it all seriously. Wait until he reaches level four, then we'll see who beats whom!

……

Songlin City.

suburbs.

Songyue Tower.

Zhou Yan led Bai Qi and the others to the restaurant with ease, and the owner, who was obviously very familiar with Zhou Yan, led him directly to a private room.

"Ms. Zhou, is it the same as before?"

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Same as always, but double the amount. I've been starving lately."

The owner nodded and left, while Zhou Yan introduced the restaurant to Bai Qi and the others, saying, "This restaurant is a well-established brand with a family recipe passed down through generations. Besides the delicious taste, it can also strengthen your physique. While you're still in Songlin, you can come here to eat more often."

Strengthening physique? Does that mean the ingredients used here are all from ferocious beasts?

Bai Qixin understood and began to look forward to it.

Zhou Yan has been taking care of most of their meals for the past few days. Although his cooking skills are quite good, they've gotten a bit tired of eating barbecue for seven days, so it's nice to change things up.

Moreover, the restaurant's environment is indeed quite nice, nestled against a lake, and its decor is very sophisticated, reminiscent of the famous buildings from Bai Qi's previous life.

"Oh, by the way, they also provide food for pets here. Would you like to let your pets come out and have a taste?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Bai Qiucha was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

His only pet is a skeletal dragon. What can it eat here? Just harvest souls?

As for Gu Shan, although his pets were all normal, he had a total of four, so he was a little embarrassed to summon them.

Seeing that neither of them made a move, Bai Qi was too lazy to summon the husky to come out for a free meal, but before Zhou Yan could persuade him again, the husky suddenly darted out on its own.

This glutton, I should have known better than to give it access to the secret realm.

Seeing the husky emerge from the secret realm on its own, Bai Qi was about to send it back when Beta began sniffing the ground intently, seemingly searching for something.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Seeing the husky's appearance, Zhou Yan and the others were somewhat puzzled, but Bai Qi seemed to have figured something out.

This scene seems somewhat familiar...

Just then, the husky suddenly stopped at the window and started barking wildly at the lake outside.

Whoosh!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, a tall tower slowly rose from the bottom of the lake, with mysterious runes faintly visible on its surface.

Secret Tower!
