Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 140 Another Dimensional Killing Array?

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Zhou Yan immediately grabbed Bai Qi by the collar, intending to use torture to extract a confession.

"Zhou Yan, the location where your pet is captured is a private matter for every beast tamer. Be careful that Song Yao doesn't overhear you."

Just then, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan immediately trembled, turned around respectfully, and said, "Master of the White Tower."

"Second Uncle."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qiucha also bowed in greeting.

The newcomer was none other than Bai Tongchen, the tower master of the Arena Tower and the younger brother of the legendary titled Minghuang Baiheguang.

Bai Tongchen patted Bai Qi's head, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "A few days ago, Elder Qin asked me to help you choose a better pet beast, but I didn't expect you to make a contract with one yourself first."

Bai Qi smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master Bai."

Bai Tongchen waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright. There's a connection between beast tamers and their pets, and besides, your slime monster has quite a bit of potential."

The battle between Xiao Yuan and Bai Qi naturally did not escape the notice of the tower master, who had witnessed almost the entire event; otherwise, he would not have coincidentally appeared here.

Bai Qi said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master Bai."

"Alright, I have to go now. You guys should come to the Arena Tower to practice more often when you have time. You can't become a legendary Beastmaster just by studying."

Without another word, Bai Tongchen took a step and vanished from the spot.

"The White Tower Master is so handsome..."

Watching Bai Tongchen disappear into the distance, Zhou Yan's eyes had completely turned into hearts, completely oblivious to the strange looks on Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha's faces beside him.

"Acha, is Senior Zhou always this infatuated?"

"No, it's just targeting my second uncle."

"Holy crap, Senior Zhou actually likes older men!"

"Um, I suggest you don't discuss this in person, otherwise..."

"Bai Qi, what did you just say?!"

"Ahem... I didn't say anything just now, it was Acha who spoke!"

"Bai Qi, you bastard!"

……

"Phew, I'm saved."

Having successfully shifted the blame, Bai Qi looked at Bai Qiucha, who was being chased by Zhou Yan for thousands of miles, and silently mourned for a few seconds before deciding to enter the Arena Tower once again.

The improvement from the balance scales cannot be retained, but the fire resistance gained in the volcanic arena is real.

In other words, as long as this method is used, Bai Qi will not have to worry about the proficiency of Gamma's many resistance skills at all.

"Attention all trainees, attention all trainees, assemble in the lobby immediately."

"Attention all trainees, attention all trainees, assemble in the lobby immediately."

"Attention all trainees, attention all trainees, assemble in the lobby immediately."

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from Bai Qi's student ID card; it was Luo Xiang.

"Training at this time? What's Luo Xiang thinking?"

Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled, as were the other trainees, while the beast tamers who had also participated in the training or had been stationed at the headquarters for many years remained calm.

Young people these days have such poor mental fortitude; they were dragged out of bed by Luo Xiang at one or two in the morning.

Despite the complaints, whether it was Zhou Yan and Bai Qiucha playing cat and mouse, or Lu Qing and the others who were studying hard in their rooms all night, they all obediently came to the assembly hall.

However, when everyone arrived, Luo Xiang was still nowhere to be seen.

"I feel like we've been tricked by Luo Xiang again..."

Zhou Yan was speechless. The reason they had time to go to the Green Dragon Secret Realm a few days ago was because Luo Xiang, who was supposed to be in charge of their theory classes, gave each of them a rune dictionary and gave it the name of "free study," and then he disappeared again.

Now that Luo Xiang hasn't shown up for so long, Zhou Yan's intuition tells her that Luo Xiang might have run away again.

"Probably not. Given Instructor Luo's personality, if he didn't want to come, no one could find him."

Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "Besides, now that everyone is here, Instructor Luo has no reason to continue slacking off."

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly.

Luo Xiang actually used him as an excuse to slack off. How could this instructor be so unreliable!

"Wow, everyone got here so fast. Looks like I can't be late next time."

Just then, Luo Xiang finally arrived, albeit late.

Sure enough, this guy was late on purpose.

The trainees were speechless, but they obediently remained silent.

Although Luo Xiang may not seem very reliable, his strength is undeniable, and they are not qualified to question the actions of a Sun-level master who could potentially reach the legendary realm at any moment.

"Let's begin today's training."

Luo Xiang looked around, then suddenly pulled out a rune dictionary and asked, "By the way, did you bring the dictionary I gave you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The rune dictionary was thick and heavy, and its contents were enough to blind them, so they had basically left it in their dorm rooms. In addition, Luo Xiang was urging them to hurry up, so who would carry it with them for no reason?

However, Bai Qi and the others realized something.

"Tsk, well then you'd better pray for yourselves."

A hint of regret appeared on Luo Xiang's face. He patted the secret realm gate beside him, and all the students were immediately enveloped in beams of light before disappearing from their spot.

……

"As expected, Luo Xiang's mission wasn't an open-ended one at all; it was a trap for them."

Looking at the cube-shaped room he was in and the rune carvings on the walls, Bai Qi roughly guessed Luo Xiang's plan.

"Dear students, the exit of the secret chamber you are in now is hidden among these runes. As long as you can find the correct combination of runes, you can leave the secret chamber."

"You have one day to crack it. As for what the penalty will be if you exceed the time limit..."

"My personal suggestion is that you shouldn't know."

"Just a friendly reminder, please don't try to crack it with brute force!"

Luo Xiang's voice echoed in the secret room, and apart from a few people, most of the students complained bitterly.

Including the ceiling and the floor, there are a total of six walls, with 16 runes on each wall, for a total of 96 runes.

Strictly speaking, this number isn't much compared to a dictionary that could easily be passed down through generations, but without knowing the number of combinations, the possible combinations of these ninety-six runes are terrifying.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that most of them don't even recognize these runes!

"Using runes to play an escape room game? Luo Xiang is really..."

Bai Qi crouched down, carefully examined the runes on the soles of his feet, and then began searching the surrounding area.

The entire secret chamber was divided into square bricks, each brick engraved with runes of different attributes. As far as Bai Qi could see, there were already three explosive runes and five freezing runes.

Judging from Luo Xiang's words, Bai Qi believed that if he touched these runes casually, there was a high probability that they would trigger their effects.

In some ways, this secret room is similar to the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude; as long as you find the safe runes, you can pass through smoothly.

And what they are currently standing on is naturally the safest.

Thanks to his research on runes over the past few days, Bai Qi was able to quickly find several runes of the same type, even without using rune glasses. After pressing them, a door immediately appeared in the originally sealed rune chamber.

"Relax, relax."

Bai Qi grinned and strode out of the secret room.

Then, we entered another secret room...

"Why do I have this feeling that I've entered an alternate dimension killing array...?"

Bai Qi looked at the room in front of him where the density of runes had increased dramatically, and then at the secret room that had just appeared behind him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Thankfully, each trainee was separated; otherwise, wouldn't it have been another test of human nature?

However, the secret chamber here clearly did not intend for Bai Qi to continue observing, and began to slowly close. Bai Qi could only roughly judge the attributes of the runes under his feet before stepping into this brand new secret chamber.

After confirming that it was safe to stand, Bai Qi counted the number of runes around him.

"6*64, so many runes, this is going to drive illiterate people crazy."

Looking at the increased number and difficulty of the escape rooms, Bai Qi sighed helplessly and then began to quickly investigate.

Thanks to the chaining of the Rune Cube, Bai Qi had a decent amount of runes, so he quickly found a safe set of runes and successfully found the gate.

After passing through the gate, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

This really is an interdimensional killing array. I hope it's not like the Rune Cube, which has upgrades.

……

In a white space, Bai Qi suddenly appeared. After seeing the huge cube behind him composed of identical cubes, Bai Qi became even more certain of his guess.

The designer of this cubic escape room must be a time traveler, and also a huge fan of horror movies.

"Luckily, this cubic chamber is only level four, otherwise I would have been driven crazy."

The four secret chambers have runes on the walls that increase from 16 to 32, then to 64, and finally to 128.

Both the quantity and quality improved at a visible rate. Bai Qi was certain that he would not have been able to succeed if he hadn't put a lot of effort into the runes.

"But I didn't expect to be the first one to come out. Didn't Old Man Qin say that the special training members value this a lot?"

Bai Qi glanced at the empty white space around him, made a comment, and then began to check the surrounding situation.

Just then, another figure appeared in the secret room.

It was Lu Qing, who had a remarkable understanding of runes.

With her profound knowledge of runes, Lu Qing solved the four secret chambers almost without stopping. She thought she would be the first, but unexpectedly Bai Qi was even faster than her.

Sure enough, it was no coincidence that this guy was able to research rune evolution.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing's face darkened, and she turned her head away, ignoring Bai Qi, leaving Bai Qi looking completely bewildered.

What did he do to offend this woman this time?

Bai Qi scratched his head speechlessly and silently distanced himself from Lu Qing.

If we can't afford to offend them, can't we at least avoid them?

While the two remained silent, another figure appeared in the room.

However, it wasn't Li Mu and his group they had expected; it was Zhou Yan.

"Senior Zhou, you've also studied runes?"

Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan with some surprise. Based on his understanding of Zhou Yan over this period of time, sending her to read books would be worse than killing her directly. He never expected that Zhou Yan would have such a high level of rune mastery.

"Runes? Why would I bother learning that stuff?"

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "I just randomly pressed a few runes and it came out."

Does this work?

Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly, then he stopped talking and squatted in the corner, drawing circles.

He actually dared to compare his luck with that of the European Emperor; he brought shame upon himself.
