Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 192 Skeletal Dragon VS Sand Dragon

After confirming the method of upgrading to elemental resistance, Bai Qi then set his sights on the two aura skills.

Aura skills are the precursors to area-of-effect skills. Wouldn't it be amazing if the skill encyclopedia could show how to improve them in advance, or how to awaken super skills?

[Skill Name]: Vampiric Aura

[Skill Level]: Advanced

[Skill Introduction]: An aura-type skill that can absorb the blood and energy of creatures within its coverage area.

[Skill Upgrade]: 1. ? ? ? : Conditions unknown

There's no upgrade plan?

Bai Qi frowned, then looked at the aura of deadly poison, and received the same response.

Is it possible that only skill upgrade options below the higher level can be displayed now?

Bai Qi refused to believe it and turned his attention to the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell skill. Sure enough, the skill upgrade panel was full of question marks. He summoned Alpha and Husky to check and found the same thing.

"I guess I was too greedy after all..."

Thinking about how he wished he could awaken a super skill directly, or even comprehend a domain-type skill ahead of time, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh at himself.

With the skill guide, he can avoid many detours. Moreover, since it only says the conditions are unknown, it means that it can still be improved; it's just that his or his pet's abilities are insufficient.

"The revolution is not yet complete, comrades, we must continue our efforts!"

Bai Qi gave himself a pep talk, then turned his attention back to Delta.

The Evolution Egg offers five skill upgrade options, among which Thunder Rush, Night Raid, and Blazing Impact all require elemental skill fusion, leaving Delta with no chance.

Of the remaining two, the Vajra Headbutt is not bad. Although it is a bit slower, it is easy to upgrade, and the Hardened Body skill is relatively easy to train.

However, Bai Qi was more interested in the awakened skill that was currently unknown.

Given the precedent of Gamma awakening a regular intermediate skill into a life-steal aura, Bai Qi found it hard to resist the urge to awaken another one.

After all, Delta may only be able to master this one skill for a long time, so it's better to be cautious.

"Let's continue practicing this skill for now. It's already at the perfect proficiency level, so upgrading it to the awakened level shouldn't be too difficult."

After a moment's thought, Bai Qi decided to abandon his plan to upgrade the Savage Charge into the Vajra Headbutt.

Anyway, Delta won't be needed for combat for the time being, so we can train her slowly. Besides, Delta has consumed so many non-attribute materials, so her combat power might not be weak in a real fight.

At most, the combat style is just a bit monotonous.

"But now that we've reached the fourth tier, we don't need to hold back in this points battle anymore."

Bai Qi grinned and simultaneously put a Golden Egg on Alpha and the Husky.

Because he didn't upgrade, Alpha and Husky's growth levels were stuck at Tier 3, Level 10 and couldn't be improved.

Now that he has broken through to the fourth tier, Alpha and Husky can also continue to upgrade.

Although it may seem like there's only a one-level difference, both strength, speed, mental strength, defense, and energy levels will receive an extremely terrifying boost.

Points, the second-in-command has arrived!

……

the next day.

Everyone stared at Bai Qi's empty seat and fell silent.

Zhou Yan broke the silence, asking, "Do you think Bai Qi has run away again?"

"Probably not... right?"

Bai Qiucha seemed somewhat uncertain, but quickly came to terms with it.

Of the three who challenged Bai Qi, he was the third, so even if Bai Qi obediently appeared, it wouldn't be his turn for the time being.

After all, no matter which of the three Bai Qi fought, it would be quite taxing, and it would take at least half a day for him to recover.

"Bai Qi just advanced to the fourth rank, he should still be getting used to the changes in his pet, let's wait a bit."

As the first person to issue a challenge, Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry at all; on the contrary, he was even more excited.

Although Bai Qi demonstrated strong combat power, he was still only at the third rank. Putting aside everything else, the difference in energy value alone meant that Bai Qi could not fight a protracted battle with them.

And what he excels at most is a protracted war.

Now that Bai Qi has reached the fourth rank, the level cap for pets has been broken. He would prefer that Bai Qi raise his pet to the fourth rank before fighting him.

Otherwise, even if he defeats Bai Qi, Grandpa will probably still suffer a loss when facing Chairman Qin, right?

"I don't care. Anyway, according to the new rules, if the challenged party avoids the fight, they will be considered to have lost and points will be deducted. I don't mind the points that are given away for free."

Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, a wise glint flashing in her eyes.

"Is this even possible?!"

Zhou Yan was immediately awestruck, and the way he looked at the people with higher scores changed drastically.

Seeing that Zhou Yan's gaze was about to fall on her, Bai Yuxiao waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Sister Yan, calm down. Don't forget who your target is."

"That's true, let's talk about it after we defeat Bai Qi."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan temporarily abandoned his plan to find a few high-scoring noobs to bully, and Bai Yuxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Spending all day with you fourth-tier freaks is really too much for me, don't you think, Brother Mu?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu stared blankly at Bai Yuxiao and said, "Sorry, I am the fourth-order freak you mentioned."

Bai Yuxiao was speechless upon hearing this. She looked around and was shocked to find that everyone around her was a fourth-level beast tamer.

Oh wait, there's also an ancient mountain.

"Gu Shan, it seems that it's just the two of us left to rely on each other. It's really not easy being on edge all day, constantly worrying about these people stealing our points."

Gu Shan remained silent for a long time before raising his head, taking out his badge to display his current ranking, and saying, "My ranking isn't high, so they won't come after me."

Bai Yuxiao: "..."

Swish!

Just as everyone was discussing this, Bai Qi suddenly appeared in the assembly hall, startling everyone around him.

"Holy crap, Bai Qi, you finally showed up."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan's eyes lit up. He then pulled Xiao Yuan aside and said, "Xiao Yuan, hurry up and challenge Bai Qi. Finish his first three challenges so I can apply for Bai Qi's second challenge."

Why are you keeping such a grudge against me? This isn't how you show resentment towards the rich.

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then sat down in his seat on his own. Xiao Zhang, the instructor for today's class, also walked in from outside the door.

Alpha and the husky are still inside the evolution egg, so Bai Qi deliberately appeared here at the right time to avoid being challenged to a duel beforehand.

However, with Alpha and the Husky hatching, it's uncertain who will challenge whom.

Xiao Zhang walked up to the crowd, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said, "Let me first announce the members of today's points competition."

"Bai Qiucha VS Li Mu!"

Upon hearing the list announced by Xiao Zhang, Bai Qiucha and Li Mu were taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a glance, both ready for battle.

Since the rules of the points competition were announced, the instructors have been selecting mostly third-tier beast tamers for the daily battles, and those who launch private challenges are also mostly third-tier beast tamers.

Although the points-based battles are ranked according to points, they would never be willing to let fourth-tier players fight third-tier players.

Well, except for Bai Qi.

After a dizzying spin, Bai Qi and the others were once again transported to the arena, where Bai Qiucha and Li Mu were already ready for battle.

Bai Qi watched Bai Qiucha and Li Mu in the arena with great interest, his eyes full of anticipation.

Although Bai Qiucha was always being chased and beaten by Zhou Yan, that was only when she had just reached the fourth level. Although Bai Qi hadn't fought Bai Qiucha recently, he could still sense that the other party's strength had improved.

A legendary son, gifted as a psychic, a skeletal dragon.

Any one of them is enough to create a strong person, let alone the combination of all three.

As for Li Mu, Bai Qi had only seen him fight once, during the Kusanagi Fire Chicken incident.

But Li Muneng, who can hang out with Xiao Yuan and the others, is no weakling either.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Let's find out your strengths and weaknesses before we start the fight."

Bai Qi gave an evil smile, which made Bai Yuxiao and Gu Shan unconsciously move to the side.

I couldn't beat Bai Qi when I was at level three, and now that Bai Qi is at level four, I can't beat him even more.

I should stay away from Bai Qi from now on.

……

"Bai Qiucha, Li Mu, are you ready?"

"alright."

"Um."

"Then I declare the competition open!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two summoned their pet beasts simultaneously. The two enormous creatures, the Skeleton Dragon and the Sand Dragon, appeared in the arena and then charged towards each other.

boom!

An invisible shockwave spread outwards, crashing against the arena's protective barrier with muffled thuds.

In their first encounter, the skeletal dragon and the sand dragon were evenly matched.

However, the sand dragon was clearly more adapted to collisions, and after only a brief pause, it opened its mouth and bit at the skeletal dragon.

The skeletal dragon simply flapped its wings to increase the distance and avoid the sand dragon's bite. Then, with a spin, countless pale white bone spikes shot out from the skeletal dragon's body and flew towards the sand dragon.

Seeing this, the Yellow Sand Dragon stomped its feet heavily, and the surrounding land turned into yellow sand, forming a sand wall that blocked the sky full of bone spikes. Then, it transformed into several large yellow sand hands, grabbing at the skeletal dragon from all directions.

The yellow sand moved extremely fast, and in a short moment it had already formed an encirclement. A yellow sand dome had appeared on the head of the skeletal dragon at some unknown time, clearly intending to seal it off completely.

"Such powerful sand control."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. This sand dragon's ability to control sand was quite strong. Despite the heavy sand, it moved at a very fast speed. Moreover, judging from the bone spurs that seemed to have been buried for many years, it seemed to have the ability to weather.

However, this shouldn't be too difficult for Bai Qiucha.

Sure enough, just as the giant sand hand was about to completely envelop the skeletal dragon, a flash of fire appeared in the skeletal dragon's eyes, its massive body flickered, and it disappeared into the sand. When it reappeared, it was already on top of the sand dragon's head.

The skeletal dragon, easily freed from the yellow sand, coldly gazed at the sand dragon below, its empty eyes flashing with the fire of its soul. Then it let out a roar to the sky, as if proclaiming its supreme status.

As a former emperor-level undead dragon, how could it allow itself to be buried under the earth by a lowly creature?
