Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 151 The Phoenix Legend of the Kusanagi Fire Chicken

A hidden paradise on the grasslands.

Gu Shan peeked out from behind a large tree, cautiously watching the enormous creature that was sleeping on a large tree not far away.

[Name]: Kusanagi Flame Chicken

[Attribute]: Fire

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 4, Level 9

[Introduction]: Legend has it that it possesses the bloodline of the phoenix and can freely control crimson flames, but it hates hot places and prefers to live in places with lush vegetation.

A fourth-tier, ninth-level high-ranking lord is definitely not someone he can deal with. After all, no matter how powerful the elemental resonance is, it shouldn't be able to overcome such a large gap.

However, he didn't plan to go alone.

Behind the trees surrounding the ancient mountain, several figures could be vaguely seen, all targeting the Kusanagi Flame Chicken.

Guh?

Seemingly sensing the human gaze, the Kusanagi Fire Chicken, which had been fast asleep, suddenly stood up to check its surroundings, and a number on its foot was clearly visible to everyone.

1 number.

After two days, most of the trainees had realized that there was only one number to be contested in this competition.

This means that only one person will be able to pass the assessment this time.

It was precisely because of this that the beast tamers who knew the truth tacitly kept their distance from each other, trying to find the ferocious beast corresponding to number 1 first.

However, upon seeing the Kusanagi Fire Chicken before them, whose size and strength far exceeded their expectations, almost everyone chose to wait.

There's nothing we can do, we really can't beat them!

"Qiao Li, are we just going to wait here like this?"

Ran Xu, who had been waiting impatiently, looked at the Kusanagi Flame Chicken that had fallen into a deep sleep again and felt a little restless. Qiao Li, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and said, "If you're so good, you do it. I admit I'm not."

"But what if someone beats to it? If this fails, the Iceberg Man can lose a lot of points."

The training camp uses a point system, during which instructors and even the six tower masters will score any behavior of the trainees.

However, it's not just about adding points.

In Luo's words, our special training program never deducts points; at most, it only adds negative points.

However, so far, most instructors have given them positive marks, with Zhang Shan being the only exception.

Too many unnecessary movements in actual combat, points deducted.

Choosing the wrong tactics resulted in a point deduction.

Points will be deducted for failing to immediately assess the safety of the surrounding environment in the secret realm.

……

Many students suspected that Zhang Shan was sent by the association to suppress their points and prevent them from exchanging for legendary materials.

However, this idea remained only at the stage of doubt and was abandoned before any further developments.

The reason? It can be summed up in one word.

Coward...

"More than sixty people are vying for one number plate. If you're going to get points deducted, there will be a bunch of people with you, so what are you panicking about?"

Qiao Li said, "If I'm not mistaken, Instructor Zhang Shan probably wants us to work together to take down this Kusanagi Flame Chicken, and then score us based on our individual performance in the battle."

"Cooperation? Doesn't the Iceberg guy hate cooperation the most? I heard he even argued with Instructor Leng about it last time?"

Ran Xu raised a question, but Qiao Li shrugged nonchalantly and said, "That's why I said it was a guess. What else do you want to do? Fight Kusanagi Inokou first, and then take care of the others?"

"Uh, never mind."

Ran Xu was speechless. Putting aside the matter of his one-on-one fight with Kusanagi Inuarashi, if we were to talk about taking down those few monsters, he would still lose points.

Just then, there was a commotion around them. A female knight riding a Pegasus leaped out from the treetops and charged straight at the Kusanagi Fire Chicken.

Who else could it be but Zhou Yan?

"Roast chicken, obediently become my snack with my drinks!"

Zhou Yan was clearly still immersed in his role-playing and had no awareness of the need for a sneak attack. He shouted loudly before even getting close.

Goooo!

Startled awake by Zhou Yan's roar, the Kusanagi Flame Chicken, which was just drifting off to sleep, let out an angry cry and flapped its wings, instantly unleashing a terrifying heat wave that swept across an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Although Zhou Yan was prepared, the crimson flames of the Kusanagi Flame Chicken and the cold flames of the undead were exactly opposites, and he was actually forced to retreat.

"How did this lady manage to reach level four and still be so energetic!"

Looking at her hair, which was a bit curly from the high temperature, Bai Yuxiao made a comment before entering a blurred state.

A head can be severed, blood can flow, but hair cannot be without oil.

I just got my hair done yesterday, I can't let it get ruined like this.

As for whether unlocking talent like this would be a waste?

Heh~

What's the use of a talent that can't protect your hairstyle!

Looking at these two complete idiots with such contrasting habits, Bai Qiucha sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, let's go too. This big guy isn't so easy to deal with."

"That's true, dragging this on isn't a solution."

Xiao Yuan nodded, but upon seeing the Kusanagi Flame Chicken enveloped in crimson flames, he couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Li Mu, you should do it. This guy is too much of a counter to me. I'll play support for you guys."

"it is good."

Li Mu nodded, and a rune array flashed in front of him. A ground dragon covered in steel armor appeared instantly and charged towards Kusanagi Flame Chicken.

[Name]: Yellow Sand Earthworm

[Attribute]: Ground

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 4, Level 1

[Introduction]: Earth Dragon type, can draw on the power of the earth to fight, and is very strong in both offense and defense, but because it causes desertification, it has been hunted by humans and its numbers have been drastically reduced.

As soon as the Sand Dragon appeared, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble. The Grass-like Fire Chicken immediately changed its target and spewed a blazing flame at the Sand Dragon, instantly turning the trees and ground into charcoal in its wake.

"Yellow Sand Dragon, use Sandstorm!"

Seeing this, Li Mu remained calm and issued an order. The Sand Dragon immediately raised its forelimbs and slammed them heavily onto the ground. The once vibrant earth instantly turned into sand, which then swept towards the Crimson Flame like a tidal wave.

However, Li Mu clearly underestimated the temperature of the crimson flames. The sandstorm only held out for a moment before the crimson flames melted a hole in it, and the Kusanagi Flame Chicken even passed directly through the sand wall and rushed towards the Yellow Sand Dragon.

"Damn it, don't just ignore me like that!"

Seeing that he was being ignored by the Kusanagi Fire Chicken, Zhou Yan's forehead veins bulged, and he instantly expanded his soul, enveloping the remaining Pegasus as well.

"Die, you chieftain!"

Enveloped in icy flames, Zhou Yan channeled all his power into his spear, aiming for the back of the head of the Blaziken. Meanwhile, the Sand Dragon seized the moment when the Blaziken was distracted and rammed straight into it.

Goooo!

Then, just as the two attacks were about to hit the Kusanagi Blaze, the Kusanagi Blaze flapped its wings and took off, forcefully avoiding the two attacks. At the same time, its sharp claws grabbed directly at Zhou Yan and the Yellow Sand Dragon.

Swish!

clang!

Just then, a white figure flashed by, pulling Zhou Yan to forcefully avoid the claw attack of the Grass-Striped Fire Chicken. A shield also appeared above the head of the Sand Dragon, but it only blocked for a moment before being shattered by the Grass-Striped Fire Chicken's claw, leaving three deep wounds on the Sand Dragon's body.

"Kusanagi Incineroar, besides possessing the ability to control crimson flames, the sharpness of your claws is comparable to the most advanced cutting machine among mechanical-type creatures. Are you two looking for death?"

Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, and a magical elf made entirely of crystal sat quietly on her shoulder, its arms outstretched.

Clearly, that shield was emitted by it.

【Name】：Machine-Doll Crystal

[Attribute]: Crystalline, Mechanical

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 3, Level 8

[Introduction]: A special creation from the time of the French Emperor, a mechanical life form made of crystal, which was discovered by the Beastmaster Association from a secret realm ten years ago.

"Thanks."

Being helped by the girl he liked made Li Mu feel a little embarrassed, but he still expressed his gratitude. Xiao Yuan, who was standing next to him, patted Li Mu on the shoulder understandingly and summoned a plant-type pet to start treating the Yellow Sand Dragon's injuries.

Although it wasn't completely blocked, it still caused the Grass-Striped Hot Chicken's claw attack to deflect; otherwise, the Sand Dragon would have suffered much more damage.

Lu Qing nodded upon hearing this, then looked at the clearly enraged Kusanagi Fire Chicken and said, "The Kusanagi Fire Chicken has decent attack capabilities at both close and long range, but its defense is weak. Everyone should try to use ranged attacks and wear it down as quickly as possible."

"Bai Qiucha, we might have to rely on you."

"no problem."

Bai Qiucha nodded, put Zhou Yan down, and deactivated the skeletal armor. The bone dragon immediately regained its original massive body and unleashed a breath of dragon fire at the Kusanagi Flame Chicken.

The Kusanagi Fire Chicken was clearly aware of the Bone Dragon's power and also spewed out crimson flames to fight back, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

"Even though they're both cold flames, Acha's bone dragon is indeed stronger."

Seeing how easily the Bone Dragon could hold off the Kusanagi Flame Chicken, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel envious.

"Tea Bro's skeletal dragon originally had Emperor-level bloodline. Although it was suppressed to Lord-level due to Tea Bro's talent as a psychic, its essence is still there."

Still in her ethereal state, Bai Yuxiao flipped herself onto the ghostly young dragon and said, "Since Cold Flame is effective, I'll go lend a hand!"

His Ghost Dragon was originally discovered in the same secret realm as Bai Qiucha's Bone Dragon, but it still retains its original strength, while the Ghost Dragon is only at the Lord level.

However, he was already very content.

After all, not just anyone can contract with an Emperor-level bloodline creature without being overfed and dying.

"That's right, let's all go together."

Zhou Yan and Li Mu regrouped and prepared to launch another attack, while Lu Qing and Xiao Yuan seized every opportunity to provide assistance to the group.

Faced with being surrounded by several people, the Kusanagi Fire Chicken gradually lost its initial ease, and after the third-tier beast tamers such as Gu Shan joined in, the Kusanagi Fire Chicken became increasingly difficult to resist.

Goooo!

As a creature about to enter the fifth tier, how could the Kusanagi Fire Chicken endure such humiliation? With a low cry, flames three feet high erupted from its entire body, followed by a dazzling light of evolution.

"This is... a second evolution?! Is the legend that the Kusanagi Blaze Chicken can evolve into a Phoenix true?"
