Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 138 Deep Feelings, Down in One Bite

Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since you have chosen the new pet you just contracted, then I will also choose my fourth pet."

Blue runes flashed, and a completely black creature appeared on one side of the scale.

This beast was covered in sharply angled armor, with strong and powerful limbs and a mouth full of fangs, giving it a fierce look just by standing there.

[Name]: Black Water Beetle

[Type]: Bug

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 3, Level 3

[Introduction]: It possesses the powerful vitality of insect-type creatures and the attack power of beast-type creatures. It is warlike but not aggressive. Legend has it that it also has a faint trace of dragon bloodline, making it the first choice for many insect-type beast tamers.

Goodness, even his fourth pet beast is already at the third tier. Xiao Yuan's strength is quite formidable.

Under the guidance of the female receptionist, Bai Qi placed Gamma on the other side of the scale. The pointer in the center of the scale immediately began to swing from side to side, and then veered straight toward the side with the Ink Dragon Lice.

The gap between low-level elites and low-level lords, between first and second-tier and third-tier, is considerable.

However, soon, two weights, one black and one gold, appeared on opposite ends of the balance scale and fell to the two ends respectively, and the originally unbalanced scale gradually became balanced.

"Alright, your pets' growth levels have been balanced at Tier 2, Level 5, and their bloodline levels have been balanced at High Elite. You can now choose the type of competition arena."

The receptionist smiled and said, "Do you two have a preferred venue? If not, you can choose any venue you like."

Xiao Yuan glanced at Bai Qi, who looked bewildered, smiled slightly, and said, "Bai Qi, this is your first time here, so let's just go to a random venue."

"Okay, do as you please."

Bai Qi remained calm and unconcerned about Xiao Yuan's arrangements, which made Xiao Yuan think even more highly of him.

No wonder he can forge friendly relations with legendary creatures; he remains so calm even in unfamiliar situations.

"Let's use random venues then, please be quick about it."

"OK."

The receptionist nodded and quickly left, while Bai Qi remained standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps because of Xiao Ding, the venue for their duel was quickly arranged, and the live broadcast screen in the hall was already crowded with onlookers.

One is the grandson of the Tower Master of the Moonlit Tower, and the other is a rising star who has recently gained fame. Their battle is naturally captivating.

Bai Qiucha looked at the two avatars on the screen and asked, "Sister Yan, do you think Bai Qi can beat Xiao Yuan?"

Zhou Yan shrugged and said, "I can't say for sure. If Xiao Yuan were fighting someone else, I would definitely choose Xiao Yuan, but since the opponent is Bai Qi, I'm not so sure."

Bai Qiucha remained silent, while Gu Shan nodded repeatedly.

Although his combat experience was not as extensive as Zhou Yan's, he dared to say with certainty that Bai Qi was definitely the most unfathomable beast tamer he knew.

Anyway, he had never seen a beast tamer who could use their pet's skills in such a fancy way.

"Hmm, it's starting."

Just as the group was chatting, the scene on the screen changed, switching to the competition arena between Bai Qi and Xiao Yuan.

"This is... a volcanic site?"

Looking at the slowly flowing lava on the screen, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Bai Qi is really unlucky. This environment has a huge impact on the slime. Even without the Molix, the slime will probably be harmed by the high temperature around it."

Bai Qiucha said, "Not necessarily. The Ink Dragon Beetle is also an insect-type, and fire-type environments have a significant impact on it as well."

"However, if I remember correctly, Brother Xiao Yuan's dragon beetle has the ability to regenerate severed limbs."

"This match will come down to who can outlast the other."

As she spoke, a hint of regret appeared on Bai Qiucha's face.

When it comes to a protracted war, probably no one among the younger generation in the entire headquarters can compare to Xiao Yuan. After all, he's someone even Zhou Yan could only manage a draw against.

……

Volcanic site.

Bai Qi wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the lifelike scene before him...

No, this is a volcano!

First, there was the forced balance of power between the two sides, and then there was this kind of real-life venue. Bai Qi felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, completely bewildered.

City people love playing with flowers.

"Looks like we're not very lucky; we ended up in this kind of randomly selected venue."

Xiao Yuan looked around, glancing at the dragonfly that seemed unaffected by the high temperature, then at the slime monster lying sprawled on the ground opposite him, and said, "How about we find a normal spot?"

Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just play normally."

Because of his previous haphazard feeding, Gamma had gained fire resistance, but only at the beginner level, so he almost melted as soon as he entered the volcanic area.

Fortunately, Gamma's bloodline level and growth level have been forcibly increased by the scales, so he did not suffer fatal damage. Instead, his proficiency is rapidly increasing at a visible speed.

I've discovered another great way to grind proficiency...

"Oh, I see. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Ink Dragon Lice, use Tear Claw!"

zizi...

The black dragon louse let out a low squeak and transformed into a bolt of black lightning, arriving in front of the slime monster. It swung its claws, ready to tear the slime monster to shreds.

As an alien species, the slime is most famous for its liquid body. Because of this body, the slime can devour any object, but correspondingly, its physical defense is also quite poor.

Judging by the speed of the black dragon beetle, this slime monster clearly didn't have time to dodge.

"Is that all?"

The audience outside were somewhat disappointed as they watched Gamma being stretched to its limit in the claws of the Ink Dragon Lice.

They had initially held some inexplicable expectations for Bai Qi's slime monster, hoping to see some unusual performances, but now it seems they were overthinking it.

"Um, why hasn't this slime broken off yet?"

Just as some audience members were about to change venues, someone suddenly noticed something.

At this moment, Gamma was being pulled haphazardly in the claws of the dragon beetle, but it showed no signs of breaking. To the uninitiated, it would look like the dragon beetle was playing with a rubber band.

Resilience is an ability that the slime gained after absorbing the hide of the Earthshaker. Although it didn't become a skill, it was indeed greatly enhanced.

At least, it won't be torn apart by just any random skill.

"I knew it! This isn't your average slime!"

Unlike the surprise of outsiders, Xiao Yuan was not at all surprised by the slime's performance; on the contrary, he thought it was only natural.

"Then, the Black Dragonfly, the Shadow Assassin!"

Upon hearing this, the black dragon louse immediately curled into a ball, and streams of dark liquid flowed from its armor, quickly spreading around the slime monster and enveloping it.

Then, out of sight of everyone, spikes made of shadow energy pierced through Gamma's body in an instant, and, guided by the Black Dragon Lice, sliced ​​the slime apart like sharp blades.

Resilience, after all, has not yet become a skill, and even if it had, it would be difficult to resist the power of shadow.

"Tsk... I actually forgot to train Gamma's shadow power. It seems I'll have to train a few more elemental skeletons to practice with Gamma in the future."

Looking at Gamma's gruesome dismemberment, Bai Qi smacked his lips, but showed no concern for Gamma's condition.

It's only a dozen yuan, not even as good as Beta, no way.

"Has Bai Qi gone mad? His pet beast has been dismembered and he's still so calm?"

"I remember that slimes can reassemble themselves after being broken up. Bai Qi must have thought so, right?"

"But have you ever seen anyone who has been corrupted by the power of shadow and still survives?"

"Uh, no, not at all."

Seeing the pieces of emerald green jelly being corroded by the power of shadow, everyone was disappointed once again.

With the corrosive power of shadow on one side and the scorching heat of volcanic lava on the other, it would be a problem if the slime could withstand it.

I thought Bai Qi was going to show some new and interesting performance, but it turned out to be just like this.

"Um, it seems like things have changed again."

It was that familiar voice again. All the trainees looked at the screen once more, and were stunned when they saw the clumps of slime slowly gathering together.

It can even defend against the power of shadow?

Click-clack?

(Master, what is this? Why does it taste bitter?)

After being "dismembered" by Shadow Kaisashi, Gamma slowly awoke, controlling his body to quickly reassemble while gradually digesting the shadow power within him.

"Don't worry about it, let him eat if he can. Kids shouldn't be picky eaters!"

Snap snap snap!

(Yes, Master.)

Gamma swayed, and the shadow power within him was visibly devoured, his body returning to its emerald green color once more.

Seeing Gamma's performance, Xiao Yuan lost his initial ease and once again had the Ink Dragon Lice use Shadow Kai's Thorn.

As expected, the power of shadow was once again devoured by the slime, and shadow resistance was also created as a result.

"I never expected a slime monster to have such strong vitality. I underestimated you."

Xiao Yuan's expression turned solemn. He said, "Since that's the case, I have no choice but to unleash my true strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, and Mo Long Shi's originally resolute eyes turned completely red, and his aura surged.

Beastmaster Talent: Berserk.

It can put your pet into a berserk state, boosting its attributes and skills in all aspects, and allowing it to unleash several hundred percent of its power.

Then, the Black Dragon Lice rolled into a ball again, and the power of shadow flowed out, but it did not actively attack Gamma. Instead, it attached itself to the Black Dragon Lice's armor, like sharp spikes.

"Ink Lice, Caesar Chariot!"

With Xiao Yuan's command, the Ink Dragon Lice began to spin rapidly, its shadow spikes transforming into high-speed rotating blades that slashed towards Gamma.

Under such a dense attack, Gamma would be cut into at least thousands, or even tens of thousands, of pieces. Xiao Yuan did not believe that Bai Qi's slime monster could survive under such circumstances.

Finally, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the Molong Lice crashed violently into Gamma.

However, the scene of being torn to pieces that everyone expected did not occur. Instead, the black dragon louse was enveloped by the suddenly expanding gamma and spun around in place.

Deep feelings, bottoms up!

"Why am I not surprised at all...?"

Seeing Gamma swallow the dragonfly whole, Bai Qiucha and Zhou Yan exchanged bewildered glances, showing no surprise whatsoever.

None of this guy's pets are normal...
