Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 145 One electric shock will do the trick.

Exit of the passageway.

Zhou Yan ran out of the passage, panting, and immediately broke free of the possession state, collapsing to the ground without any regard for his image.

Both fusion talents and possession skills consume stamina. This time, the passage is much longer and more difficult than before, so running this section of the road consumes even more stamina than before.

However, Zhou Yan was exceptionally gifted, with physical abilities far exceeding those of his peers, so he recovered after a short rest.

But it's not the same for others.

"Aunt Leng, isn't this passageway excessively long? Besides us, how many people can possibly run through it all..."

Bai Yuxiao, who had come in looking relaxed and carefree, was now struggling to crawl out of the passage, her pale face devoid of any color.

The ability to become ethereal is good, but it also consumes a lot of stamina. This time, Leng Feifei had obviously increased the length of the passage, so Bai Yuxiao couldn't keep up halfway through.

"I don't think so."

Leng Feifei snorted and pointed to the passage. Bai Yuxiao looked in that direction and saw a two-headed mechanical wolf pulling a crystal bone sled at high speed. Sitting on the sled was Bai Qi.

Unlike Bai Yuxiao and the others who were in a sorry state, Bai Qi was extremely relaxed.

Ice crystal barriers pave the way, huskies pull the cart, slime monsters provide shock absorption, dragon might repels ferocious beasts, and all that's added is a glass of chilled divine water.

What was originally a physically demanding training exercise was transformed by Bai Qi into a freestyle sledding session.

"Isn't this cheating?"

Bai Yuxiao stared dumbfounded at Bai Qi, who was speeding towards them, and couldn't help but complain.

Did I say that riding pets is prohibited?

Leng Feifei said, "It seems your dad was right to drag you back from the archaeological team; you're almost turning into a bookworm."

Bai Yuxiao remained silent, while Zhou Yan, standing to the side, pouted, somewhat speechless.

She knew, of course, that she could ride pets, but the passageway wasn't very wide, and it would change its shape from time to time. Ordinary riding pets couldn't be played with like Bai Qi.

Soon, Bai Qi drove out of the passage, followed closely by Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan and the others.

Compared to the two reckless individuals mentioned earlier, Bai Qiucha and his group appeared much more relaxed, with Bai Qi being particularly energetic, as if they were on vacation.

Wang Wang!

(Human, that's a lot of fun there, how about we go for another run?)

Beta was equally excited. Instead of being annoyed by being treated like a sled dog, she seemed to have activated some kind of mechanism, radiating energy.

We finally got to wait until Shuke went into seclusion to revise the blueprints, now's the perfect time to have some fun!

Bai Qi patted Beta's head and said, "Don't rush, you'll have your chance to run later."

Zhou Yan walked to Bai Qi's side, looked at Alpha who was turning back to its original form, and said, "Bai Qi, are all the students at your mecha academy this good at playing around?"

"I guess so."

Bai Qi shrugged. The Mecha Weaponry major does require a lot of creativity, but most of them play with machines. He wasn't sure if there were any undead players.

"To be honest, I'm not surprised by anything Bai Qi does now."

Xiao Yuan clearly thought highly of Bai Qi, and said, "When can we have a battle between our main pets?"

Although the Arena Tower can balance the two levels of pets, the competition is definitely not perfect due to the restrictions. Xiao Yuan really wanted to see with his own eyes just how powerful Bai Qi's main pet could be.

"Um, okay."

Bai Qi scratched his head. Didn't Acha say that Xiao Yuan wasn't a warmonger? Why is she watching him fight every day?

The remaining trainees gradually emerged from the passage, almost all of them exhausted.

Gravity, traps, and the harassment of various poisonous creatures—even with the help of pets, they were exhausted. Not to mention that the passage had obviously been extended; being able to complete it was already quite an achievement for them.

Leng Feifei looked around and said, "Very good. You were able to finish the race despite the sudden change in the track. In terms of physical fitness, you can barely be considered qualified."

Before the trainees could even catch their breath, Leng Feifei's next words plunged them into despair.

"But your wilderness survival skills are almost all subpar!"

Leng Feifei's expression was cold as she said, "As a beast tamer, the wild is where you will spend the most time in the future. Preserving enough physical strength to deal with emergencies is a skill that every beast tamer must master."

"Do you think you'd still be able to fight if you encountered a ferocious beast in your current state?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Of all the people present, apart from Bai Qiucha and Xiao Yuan, who had managed to conserve their strength, the rest were basically crippled.

At the very least, it's unlikely that you can use your talents to assist your pet in battle.

As for Bai Qi, they tacitly ignored him.

"I see. That explains why the teacher always likes to drag me running."

Upon hearing Leng Feifei's words, Zhou Yan suddenly realized what was going on, leaving Bai Qi both amused and exasperated.

Sister, it's one thing if others don't know, but you are still Instructor Leng's disciple. Aren't you going to be expelled from the sect for being so slow to realize this?

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Leng Feifei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then, everyone, run back the way you came!"

"Considering that some people hardly expended any physical energy, the difficulty is doubled."

Upon hearing Leng Feifei's words, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and then glared angrily at Bai Qi.

They were already in a tough spot when they arrived, and now the difficulty is doubled. Isn't this just trying to kill them?!

Seeing this, Bai Qi, the culprit, smiled sheepishly and dared not linger any longer. He kicked the husky and headed straight for the passage.

I thought Leng Feifei would be more serious, but it turns out she's just as good at setting traps!

……

"Phew~ I can't go on anymore, we've run five rounds already, isn't the teacher going to stop?"

Zhou Yan squatted on the ground without any regard for appearances, completely unwilling to move.

"Sister Yan, you've done more than enough. Look at Gu Shan."

Bai Qiucha, equally exhausted, pointed to Gu Shan, who had collapsed in the passageway not far away, barely breathing, and said, "Judging from this, Instructor Leng should probably stop too; any more training will only cause him injury."

Although beast tamers are much more physically fit than ordinary people, they still can't withstand Leng Feifei's high-intensity training. Only a few of them can still persevere now.

"That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, the Tower of Moonlight has already prepared quite a few treatment pods this morning, probably for this purpose."

Xiao Yuan ran past the two of them and delivered some unfortunate news.

"Besides, aren't there still people jumping around there, perfectly fine?"

Xiao Yuan gestured behind him, and the group saw the husky pulling a crystal sled at high speed, its excitement seemingly boundless.

Bai Qi stopped beside them, looking at Gu Shan who was completely unable to move, and then at Zhou Yan and the others who were clearly exhausted, and said, "Hey, why aren't you running anymore?"

You'll see once you get down and run around!

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, even Bai Qiucha, who was known for her strict upbringing, couldn't help but feel an urge to beat Bai Qi up. Just then, everyone felt their bodies freeze for a moment, and then they found themselves in the assembly hall.

"The morning training is temporarily over. Everyone, go and rest now. Classes will start promptly this afternoon."

After Leng Feifei finished speaking, she turned and left, while the students couldn't help but groan in despair.

The training this morning was tough enough; if they have to go through another round this afternoon, they simply won't be able to handle it.

Just then, a healer from the Tower of Moonlight walked over and summoned a light butterfly that circled above everyone's heads. The students, who had been feeling exhausted, immediately felt much better.

"Dear trainees, the treatment pods are ready. Please follow me."

"A treatment pod?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. He had indeed heard of this technology, but it had been shelved for a long time because of the existence of healing-type pets. He did not expect that the association would actually come up with it.

Seeing Bai Qi's curious look, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Although healing-type pets are more effective than healing pods, healing pods still have an advantage in terms of mass production and widespread availability."

"Moreover, this was designed by the Tower of Moonlight, combining the advantages of pets and science. It has miraculous effects on restoring stamina and repairing injuries~"

"Restore stamina?"

Bai Qi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but Bai Yuxiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, you don't need it. After all, not everyone can be so lazy."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yuxiao saw Bai Qi, who had been full of energy, suddenly become weaker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant he became even more exaggerated than when he was disguised as a beast soul master.

"Alpha, help me to the treatment ward..."

After applying four Silver Eggs to Gamma, Bai Qi felt a long-lost sense of weakness spread throughout his body. If Alpha hadn't been there to support him, he probably would have collapsed.

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Zhou Yan was completely dumbfounded and said, "This guy, his fatigue has a delay?"

"Perhaps it's some kind of talent."

Bai Qiucha, equally bewildered, shrugged and followed.

He expended a lot of energy during the morning training and needs to rest and recuperate.

……

Unlike the capsule-like structure Bai Qi had envisioned, the treatment pods in the Moonlit Tower are cubes on the outside. Once the pod door is closed, it becomes a sealed space, offering significantly better privacy.

And judging from this design, it seems to be portable?

Bai Qi glanced at the structure at the bottom of the treatment chamber and the independent nutrient solution addition device, and had a vague guess in his mind.

The person who designed this health retreat probably intended it for use in the wild from the very beginning.

Bai Qi shrugged and, guided by the members of the Tower of Moonlight, entered the treatment ward. The first thing he saw was a somewhat creepy iron chair.

"It looks a bit like an electric chair. Is the designer's surname Yang?"

Bai Qi unconsciously shrank back, and the classic quote from a famous "educator" from his previous life floated into his mind.

"Just give it a shock..."
