Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 196 Super Skill Awakening?

The Stone Tower Secret Realm.

Alpha, wielding the Withering Sword, moved effortlessly among a group of undead beasts, each swing of the sword taking the lives of a new batch.

After he informed Bai Heguang that Alpha had already reached the Awakened level of proficiency with the Breath of Decay, Bai Heguang instructed Alpha to fight using only this one skill, and their opponents were these endless dead beasts.

Awoo awoo?

(Humans, are we just going to sit here like idiots forever?)

Watching Alpha wreak havoc ahead, Beta yawned somewhat boredly, swayed his body, and felt uneasy about everything.

From the moment it entered this world, Beta sensed an aura that made it uncomfortable from body to soul.

Although there was no real basis for it, Beta always felt that it was dangerous to stay here.

"I need to monitor the progress of Alpha's Breath of Decay skill, so I'll stay here obediently."

Shuke's electronic eyes were firmly locked onto Alpha, and the screen extending from his body was constantly updating the energy changes on Alpha's body, clearly intending to record the awakening process of the super skill in real time.

Although Bai and Guang didn't explicitly say so, the fact that he was foolishly slaughtering dead beasts here must be related to the awakening of the Breath of Decay. Recording it now might allow us to deduce the awakening plans for other super skills in advance.

Awooo...

(But I'm so bored...)

Beta yawned again and lay down on the ground, trying to sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep peacefully. So he simply adjusted his position and started reciting the Great Compassion Mantra.

Since Shuke integrated the Great Compassion Mantra with meditation, Beta feels incredibly relaxed in her soul every time she recites the Great Compassion Mantra, and her mental strength is steadily increasing.

So when Shuke gets busy and Beta has no choice but to follow along, Beta uses this method to pass the time.

As Beta chanted the Great Compassion Mantra, a special spiritual wave spread outwards. Bai Qi, who was standing nearby, immediately felt his mind become calmer, and even his thoughts started to flow faster.

Bai Qi looked at Beta curiously, and for a moment he seemed to see a great monk preaching, but upon closer inspection, it was still Beta's dog face.

"Holy crap, is Beta planning to become a monk? So those scriptures spread by those bald monks in his past life weren't fake after all?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, because due to the contractual relationship, he could naturally sense the changes in Beta's soul.

This state is very similar to his state when he meditates, no, it might even be better.

"How about I read it another day?"

Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, and unconsciously, an image of himself wearing a kasaya, with a compassionate expression, chanting Amitabha Buddha to others appeared in his mind.

"I'd rather not, I can't accept this look."

Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly, completely dismissing the idea.

"Bai Qi, is Alpha still practicing?"

Just then, Bai Qiucha walked over from the side, looking at Alpha who was still fighting, somewhat surprised.

It has been three days since they arrived at this secret realm, and Alpha seems to have never stopped. Even though undead creatures have unlimited stamina, their energy is still limited. Alpha should have been exhausted by now, practicing super skills like this.

Bai Qi shrugged upon hearing this, pointed to Shuke's monitoring screen, and said, "After Alpha killed those dead beasts, it seems that the death power in their bodies was absorbed by the Withering Sword, so Alpha doesn't seem to have consumed much energy."

Bai Qiucha nodded as she watched the black forces on the screen continuously converging towards Alpha.

"By the way, where's the teacher?"

Bai Qi looked behind Bai Qiucha but did not see Bai Heguang.

"Dad said he had something urgent to attend to and would be leaving for a while, so he told us to stay here for now."

"Uh, so we're stuck here now?"

"Don't worry, Dad cleaned this place up before he left. All the creatures above the fourth rank have been dealt with, so there won't be any danger. Besides, Dad will be gone for at most ten days to half a month, and he'll be back soon."

Seeing that Bai Qi seemed a little nervous, Bai Qiucha quickly comforted him.

I'm not worried about ferocious beasts, I'm worried about this world!

Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly. He hadn't known before, but now that he knew what these abandoned secret realms were like, he would never go near such places again unless protected by a legendary figure.

A small world adrift in the void, on the verge of death—if something were to suddenly happen, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

And what's with that habitual look on his face? Does this kind of mischief not happen occasionally, but frequently?

Will I be beaten to death if I voluntarily sever my master-disciple relationship with a legendary figure?

Waiting online, very anxious.

Quack quack...

Just then, a piercing sound entered their ears, and Beta, who had been meditating and chanting, also raised his head and roared as he looked up at the sky.

Bai Qi looked over at the sound and saw a black raven that had appeared at the top of a large tree at some point. Its blood-red eyes were fixed on Alpha, revealing a visible greed.

Shuke quickly scanned the crow and said, "The exact energy value cannot be detected, but judging from the concentration of death energy, this dead beast is at least at the fourth level."

"A fourth-tier undead beast~"

Bai Qi nodded, looking at Alpha who was also staring intently at the crow, and said, "Alpha, let's give that a try."

Crackling.

(good!)

Alpha nodded silently, his spine trembled, and a pair of crystal bone wings quickly extended out, while the sword blades that had been hovering behind his head also attached themselves to the bone wings.

Then, Alpha gently flapped its wings, and a gust of air appeared out of nowhere, lifting Alpha into the air.

"Bai Qi, you really are unconventional. It seems I still have a lot to learn from you."

Looking at the Alpha, which was not slow at all in the air, Bai Qiucha couldn't help but admire it.

No wonder his father kept telling him that although he was very strong, he didn't use his strength well and didn't bring out the full power of the skeletal dragon. He hadn't realized this before, but after meeting Bai Qi, he realized it.

Even within the association, Bai Qi's understanding and application of skills far surpasses that of others, and his tactics are simply unbelievable.

The dragon-human form he used to defeat Li Muhuang's Sand Dragon was inspired by Bai Qi.

"Don't bother learning from me, I'm afraid the teacher will blame me for leading you astray."

Bai Heguang doesn't seem to like those fancy things. Judging from Bai Qiucha's previous fighting style, he basically relied on brute force to overcome skill.

Bai Qi, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. For example, Alpha's Breath of Decay, which is derived from dragon breath, is normally used as a spray, annihilating everything in one breath, making it a solid area-of-effect (AOE) attack.

In the end, it became an enchantment skill in Bai Qi's hands, used entirely to increase the power of other attacks.

It's just that Bai Heguang didn't see it with his own eyes, otherwise Bai Qi would probably have given him another good scolding.

If he were to lead his own son astray again, expelling him from the sect would be considered a great act of mercy.

While the two were chatting idly, Alpha had already flown in front of the Black Raven, but the raven showed no intention of starting a fight. It simply stared intently at Alpha with its blood-red eyes.

"So, they're just here to pose? Alpha, take them down!"

Bai Qi looked at Black Death Crow with some doubt, having no intention of continuing to waste time with it. Alpha also quickly swung his sword and charged forward.

quack!

Seeing that Alpha had taken the initiative to attack, the Black Raven finally made a move, flapping its wings to easily avoid Alpha's slash. At the same time, it opened its beak and spat out a ball of black gas, which went straight for Alpha.

"The power of death?"

Bai Qi immediately determined the nature of the black gas cloud, as did Alpha, but he did not choose to confront it head-on, instead dodging it.

The black cloud landed on the ground, and the ground, which was originally somewhat green, immediately turned gray and lifeless.

What a terrifying tone!

"A fourth-tier undead beast can control the power of death?"

Bai Qi's expression immediately turned serious, while Bai Qiucha prepared to summon the bone dragon.

With their combined strength, they naturally wouldn't take ordinary fourth-tier creatures seriously, but when it comes to the power of death, they have to be more cautious.

After all, he had personally witnessed the scene after his father's Nine Netherworld Sparrow released its death power.

However, the Black Raven's attack frequency was not very high. After a short period of adjustment, Alpha regained its rhythm, skillfully dodging the Black Raven's breath attacks, quickly approaching the Black Raven, and thrusting its sword in.

Because it was corrupted by the power of death, the Black Raven's physical strength was as weak as that of other dead beasts.

However, this black raven did not die directly like the previous dead beasts. Instead of ignoring the damage to itself, it exhaled a huge breath and attacked Alpha.

Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately tried to draw his sword to dodge, but a powerful suction force suddenly erupted from within the Black Raven, forcibly pulling at the death power within the Withering Sword.

These death forces were originally forcibly gathered within the Withering Sword, and when absorbed by the power of the same origin, a portion of them immediately dissipated.

Quack quack quack!

After absorbing this death power, the Black Raven suddenly became excited. Its already large body swelled up again, and a wisp of black smoke swirled around it, tightly binding the Withering Sword and Alpha like tentacles, seemingly intending to devour Alpha.

Not only that, some dead beasts that were watching the battle from afar on the ground were also affected. The death power within their bodies was forcibly drawn out and all of it entered the body of the Black Death Raven.

Is this some kind of adrenaline rush?

"Alpha, get rid of it!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately issued an order to Alpha, and Shuke also activated his Mechanical Lord, aiming all the cannons at Black Death Raven.

Crackling.

(Boss, don't make a move yet.)

Just then, Alpha took the initiative to contact Bai Qi and Husky. Then, it spread its wings and the blade immediately shot out, cutting the Black Death Raven into pieces in the blink of an eye. Alpha also took the opportunity to get rid of the Black Death Raven, but did not continue to attack. Instead, it stared blankly at the Withering Sword in its hand.

Black Raven seemed unconcerned about the damage; its originally solid body instantly vaporized, dodging the blade's attack and enveloping Alpha.

Just as the black mist was about to envelop Alpha, the Black Death Raven seemed to sense something, abruptly stopped, and began to circle around Alpha.

Below, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha looked at each other, seemingly bewildered as well.

Is this feeling the stance of a monarch?
