Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 171 Young people still need to be a bit arrogant

Looking at the earth elemental that resembled a giant in front of him, Bai Qi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy. This target is so big and alive, it's much more valuable than the metal saber-toothed tiger that Shuke created that couldn't fight back.

"Alpha, Bladestorm, use the final version."

Crackling.

(Yes, Master.)

Alpha was already somewhat annoyed because he had been tricked by the Earth Elemental's million-ton punch. Now, facing the Earth Elemental's all-out attack, even if Bai Qi didn't say anything, he would still launch a full-scale attack.

The sharp blade that had been hovering behind Alpha's head, along with the Wither and Gravity swords, began to rotate around Alpha little by little under the pull of the gale. The ground around Alpha showed signs of being cut, and even some of the earth elementals' stone fists showed cracks.

"Is this... a super skill?"

Upon seeing this, Feng Ye's expression hardened, but he showed no intention of retreating.

Bai Qi uses a super skill, and his Million-Ton Punch - Hundred Punch Style is no different. Moreover, Bai Qi's skill obviously requires time to build up, which is enough time for the earth element to defeat the opponent.

One punch—if he could trigger an attack that would take ten thousand tons, victory in this battle would be his.

However, Feng Ye underestimated Alpha's strength. Although Blade Storm was not fully activated, Alpha had already released its suppression of Wind Wound, still causing considerable trouble for the earth element's attacks.

As the earth elemental's stone fist approached Alpha, Alpha was already surrounded by blades, and the blade storm finally began to show its power.

With Alpha's continuous assistance, the Blade Storm spun faster and faster until the blades were no longer visible, leaving only a rapidly spinning hurricane.

"I hope Xiaoye isn't going to lose. This skill looks more reliable than Xiaoye's."

"It shouldn't be that bad. Xiaoye is almost at the fourth level, and she's an elemental pet. Her energy value is definitely superior, so she should be fine."

"That's good. I've already put all my allowance for this month into it."

Just as the group was discussing this, the Blade Storm and the Earth Elemental's Megaton Punch finally collided.

In an instant, most of the hundreds of earth elemental fists were shattered, with fragments flying everywhere. However, before they even hit the ground, they all turned into dust, raising a large sandstorm around them.

"No wonder the guild leader wanted Luo Xiang to bring him along. Even disregarding the Monarch's Stance, this skill is already capable of posing a preliminary threat to monarch-level creatures..."

Chun Yushui watched Alpha's skills with great interest, then looked at Feng Ye.

"If this doesn't trigger soon, Xiaoye is doomed to lose."

The moment the thought of "Spring Meets Water" arose, Alpha's Blade Storm paused, and some metal fragments were destroyed, clearly shattered by the earth element's million-ton punch.

It actually triggered?

When did a chieftain become a force to be reckoned with through sheer numbers?

Bai Qi was taken aback upon seeing this, while Feng Ye was overjoyed.

It actually triggered! A massive punch, he couldn't believe a tiny skeleton could withstand it.

To everyone's surprise, although the Blade Storm was smashed open by the Stone Fist and even landed on Alpha, Alpha's body flashed with golden light, swayed slightly, and then stopped moving and started spinning the Blade Storm again.

Overlord Body.

Although Blade Storm has a long wind-up and cannot be used as flexibly as Wither Breath, the wind-wound deals damage in advance and the super armor ignores damage afterward, so this wind-up can be ignored.

Seeing that Alpha had actually blocked the earth elemental's million-ton punch, Feng Ye was stunned. At that moment, the earth elemental had gradually entered the range of the Blade Storm.

The outer layer of rubble on the earth elemental's body shattered completely with just a light touch from the sword storm, revealing the earth elemental's true form.

As an elemental being, the earth element has extremely strong physical defense. Even when cut by a sword blade, it does not immediately collapse, but only leaves sword marks.

However, whenever a blue sword light flashes, the earth elemental's body becomes as fragile as tofu, instantly breaking through its defenses.

"Xiaoye, that's enough, there's no need to continue."

Seeing this, Chun Yushui finally couldn't help but speak up, and Feng Ye didn't mince words. After sighing, he readily admitted his defeat.

"Holy crap, Xiaoye really lost, to a newbie. What's this newbie's name? I'm going to teach him a lesson."

"This kid was brought by Luo Xiang, are you sure?"

"What? That bastard Luo Xiang? He needs to be treated even better..."

"Ugh, I'm really going to be eating dirt this month because of my living expenses."

"It's okay, the boss should have made a lot of money this time, let's go over there and freeload."

"Let's go, let's go!"

After the battle ended, most people were filled with sorrow. They had no choice but to choose Feng Ye, whom they were more familiar with, only to lose everything.

However, a small number of people still made the right bet.

And one of them was none other than Feng Ye!

Bai Qi looked at Feng Ye, who had produced the receipt, with some surprise and said, "You bet on yourself to lose?"

Feng Ye shrugged and said, "Yeah, this lucky guy is known for losing every bet. I'm definitely going to bet on the other side. If I win, I'll lose a month's living expenses. If I lose, I can make it back. Either way, I'm not at a loss."

Good heavens, this is some serious wake-up call.

Bai Qi silently gave Feng Ye a thumbs up. He was about to ask Chun Yushui to redeem the prize when he discovered that the stone table in front of Chun Yushui and the betting table had been reduced to fragments at some point.

"Damn it, Chun, you cheated again!"

Seeing Chun Yushui's appearance, Feng Ye's face darkened, and the other beast tamers who had also won the bet also voiced their condemnation.

"What do you mean by cheating? Gambling is wrong. I'm guiding you onto the right path."

"Keep spouting nonsense! You're the bookmaker, yet you're cheating!"

"Nonsense! I have always kept myself pure and have never been involved with such filth."

"Boss, you're awesome! We're sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!"

"Um, buddy, did you forget something?"

Seeing Chun Yushui and the others suddenly in a chaotic mess, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems the pressure to break through the secret realm is really immense; his current state is quite different from his serious demeanor during the day.

However, it felt pretty good.

Bai Qi smiled as he watched Chun Yushui being frantically chased by Feng Ye, and suddenly understood why the association had entrusted the development of the First Emperor's Secret Realm to such an unreliable, drunken uncle.

If it were someone like Yi Yu from the Thirteenth Bureau, these beast tamers would probably go crazy, right?

……

the next day.

dong dong dong...

A knock came at the door, and Bai Qi immediately put away the rune cube he was playing with and opened the door.

"I was wondering if you were still sleeping. Perfect timing, hurry up and finish breakfast, then I'll show you around and help you get used to the place."

Feng Ye didn't mind being defeated by Bai Qi yesterday at all, and enthusiastically led Bai Qi to the cafeteria.

There were already quite a few people eating in the cafeteria. Bai Qi glanced around and recognized a few of them who had been having the most fun last night, but now they were seriously discussing the rune deciphering with their companions.

"Doesn't it feel completely different from last night? We've always been like this here. We work when we're supposed to work and rest when we're supposed to rest. We never mix them up. You'll get used to it."

Upon hearing Feng Ye's explanation, Bai Qi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Keeping work and private life so clearly was simply unbelievable in his previous life.

"Bai Qi, you're here too. Hurry up and eat something. Old Zhou's breakfast is really good."

Upon seeing Bai Qi appear, Chun Yushui, who was also having breakfast, immediately waved to the two of them, signaling them to come over.

Bai Qi followed instructions and came to Chun Yushui's side, immediately smelling a strong aroma of alcohol.

"Uncle Chun, you've started drinking so early in the morning?"

Seeing Chun Yushui chugging a bottle of wine, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Isn't it said that work and private life should be kept separate? Why are you drinking during work hours?

"This is the second thing you need to get used to."

Feng Ye shrugged and said, "Brother Chun has no motivation if he doesn't drink. The more he drinks, the more efficient he is at breaking through the secret realm."

Can you even distinguish runes after drinking? Are you kidding me?

"You'll see for yourself when you have the chance. I didn't believe it at first either."

Feng Ye smiled and then served Bai Qi a breakfast.

"Let's grab something to eat first, then I'll show you around and show you the place. You seem to know a lot about runes, so you can help me crack a key door."

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "I'm hardly a rune expert, so I might not be able to help you."

Although he has spent a lot of time on runes and achieved some success, he mainly focuses on combat runes, while the runes that appear at the entrance to the secret realm are mostly restriction runes. In fact, he is no different from a novice.

"Bai Qi, you don't need to be so humble here. On the contrary, the more abilities you demonstrate, the more respect you will earn from others."

Chun Yushui's expression turned serious. He said, "I have a general understanding of your performance during the training camp. It's good to hold back your trump cards, but if you hide your strengths too much, you'll really become stupid. Young people should be a bit more arrogant."

"Understood."

Bai Qi nodded solemnly. He had occasionally worried that he was being too high-profile, but it turned out he was being too low-profile.

No wonder those guys were eyeing him covetously all day long, wishing they could gang up on him and beat him up.

Well, I'll do my best when I get back this time and try to "convince" them in one go.

……

Association headquarters.

Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

Ran Xu suddenly sneezed several times for no apparent reason, and the spittle flying everywhere made Qiao Li frown.

"Are you cold? It's only the end of August."

Ran Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just suddenly felt a chill down my back, as if something bad was about to happen."

"Maybe you've been under too much pressure lately. That guy named Gu Shan has started to explode recently, with his Beast Taming Space enhancement and Elemental Resonance talent. How come young people these days are so brutal?"

"It's alright, compared to Bai Qi, it's still pretty good... Achoo!"

"Why don't you go check out the Moonlit Tower? Anatomy class is coming up soon, and Instructor Xiao will scold you to death if you keep acting like this."

"Okay, I'll go first, so I don't infect you."

"Yeah, you know what, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine too."

"Together, together..."
