Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 198: Gains and Losses

Seeing the drastically changed environment of the Stone Tower Secret Realm, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha immediately huddled together, cautiously observing their surroundings.

Although it seems absurd, the Stone Tower Secret Realm really does look like what Bai Qi imagined. In addition to the forest, the earth is also beginning to decay, and strange vortexes are appearing in the sky above, as if brewing a terrifying storm.

This little world is truly heading towards death!

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from the sky, swept up Bai Qi and the other person, and quickly left the Stone Tower Secret Realm, returning to the spatial rift.

Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang, who was standing on the back of the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, in surprise and said, "Teacher, didn't you leave?"

"Well, I hadn't been gone long when I noticed a spacetime storm heading towards the Stone Tower Secret Realm, so I came back."

It turned out to be a spacetime storm. He had thought that Alpha had cleaved a small world in two with a single sword strike.

Bai Heguang nodded, glanced at the black longsword in Alpha's hand, and said, "Your pet beast has successfully awakened?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "The awakening was successful, but I don't know what level of skill it is, so I named it Extraordinary."

Bai Heguang remained silent for a moment, then said, "There has indeed been no precedent of a fourth-tier beast tamer awakening a super skill before. Extraordinary... not bad."

Why would they let him practice here when there's no precedent? His teacher thinks too highly of him.

Bai Qi smacked his lips, then suddenly felt a tremor around him. The Nine Netherworld Sparrow then sped up and moved away from the Stone Tower Secret Realm.

"This time-space storm is incredibly strong; the Stone Tower Secret Realm is probably doomed."

Looking at the stone tower secret realm that vanished instantly in the spacetime storm, the Nine Netherworld Sparrow said with some regret, but showed no intention of leaving.

Bai Qi glanced at Bai Heguang and asked, "Teacher, where are we going now?"

"Wait for the time-space storm to end."

Bai Heguang responded indifferently, then fell silent, staring intently at the stone tower secret realm in front of him, which was constantly being destroyed in the spacetime storm, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't dare to ask any more questions and looked at Bai Qiucha, who also looked bewildered.

The spacetime storm came suddenly and left without a trace, instantly calming down the previously turbulent spatial rift.

The Stone Tower Secret Realm had vanished, leaving only some broken stones.

This secret realm was already on the verge of death, and it was destroyed by the spacetime storm.

However, Bai and Guang seemed to have been waiting for this moment. After looking around, the Nine Netherworld Sparrow spewed out a black flame that enveloped the rubble and instantly burned it into nothingness.

That is, the power of death?

The moment the black flames appeared, Bai Qi sensed the same power within them as that of the Alpha Death Sword.

So the Nine Netherworld Bird also possesses the power of death?

Come to think of it, if you hadn't mastered it yourself, why would the teacher have offered to teach you how to control it?

Soon, the Nine Netherworld Sparrow withdrew the flames, and also brought back some items.

"This is... a space crystal?!"

Bai Qi fully demonstrated his status as a top student in the training camp, instantly recognizing the identity of these crystals.

[Material Name]: Space Crystal

[Material Grade]: Legendary

"They're just some crystal fragments, not even legendary quality."

Bai Heguang shook his head and said, "If complete space crystals could be used to build secret realm towers, these can only be used to strengthen secret realms now."

As he spoke, Bai Heguang split the crystal fragments in his hand in two and tossed them to Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, saying, "You two have personal secret realms, so these crystal fragments are perfect for strengthening them."

"Thank you, teacher."

As Bai Qi received the spatial fragment, he unconsciously thought of Delta.

Delta hasn't tried spatial materials yet, so I'll let him try them out later.

After collecting the spatial fragments, Bai and Guang did not linger there. They led the two away from the spatial rift and returned to the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest.

"I have some things to take care of. You two stay here and continue training. As for the training..."

Bai and Guang paused for a moment, and then a ghost wielding a blood-red scythe emerged from the rune array.

[Name]: Blood Scythe Evil Spirit

[Race]: Undead

[Bloodline Level]: Emperor Level

[Introduction]: The Reaper of Life, whose blood-red scythe can ignore most defenses and directly harvest the souls of enemies, is the most ferocious creature among the undead.

"The Blood Scythe Demon will be here to protect you and will tell you about the training program."

Bai Heguang gave the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit a few instructions, and then, without waiting for Bai Qi and the other two to respond, he rode the Nine Netherworld Sparrow and disappeared into the sky.

"Are all legendary players with banned accounts this busy?"

Looking at the seemingly endless white light, Bai Qi couldn't help but complain.

"That's normal, you'll get used to it."

Bai Qiucha shrugged, clearly used to this kind of life, then looked at Alpha's Death Sword with interest and said, "The battle was interrupted just now, shall we continue?"

Alpha's Death Blade was far more powerful than he had imagined, able to easily slice through his Bone Scythe and Soul Blade, so he naturally wanted to end the battle.

"Forget it, Alpha doesn't seem to have fully mastered the Death Blade yet."

Bai Qi shook his head and declined Bai Qiucha's challenge.

Although Bai Qiucha wasn't injured just now, it was still quite dangerous, since he wasn't sure if Bai Qiucha's bone armor could actually withstand the sword of death.

If this isn't stopped, Bai Qiucha will really be doomed.

However, he was indeed very satisfied with the destructive power of the Sword of Death.

It's one thing to sever the Bone Scythe, but to be able to sever even the Soul Blade means that neither tangible nor intangible attacks or defenses can withstand Alpha's Death Sword.

"Alpha, channel the power of death and see the effect?"

Crackling.

(Boss, I think I can't guide him anymore.)

"Can't guide it?"

Bai Qi was taken aback, then immediately recalled the skill description of the Sword of Death, and his face turned bitter.

"This really is a concentrated expression of all the death energy in the body, yet it's not being released at all..."

At this point, Alpha could no longer freely manipulate the power of decay to buff other attacks as before. Even when using skills, it only increased the destructive power of the Death Sword in its hand.

Bai Qi smacked his lips. Since the power of death could not be released externally, forms such as machine gun mode and sniper mode were basically useless and could no longer be used in Blade Storm as before.

In other words, Alpha sacrificed a variety of flexible tactics in exchange for a powerful close-combat attack method, so it can be considered a trade-off.

"But I feel like I've lost out big time. How am I supposed to show off my skills after this?"

Bai Qi sighed, looking at Alpha who was also somewhat downcast, and quickly comforted him, "It's okay, you have Blade Storm for ranged attacks anyway, it's not bad to strengthen your melee combat, after all, melee combat is your forte."

Crackling.

Alpha nodded and instinctively tried to levitate the Sword of Death behind him, but found that neither the artifact manipulation runes nor the power of wind could lift it. In the end, Alpha had to create a hand behind his back to grasp the Sword of Death.

Holy crap, I can't even fly on a sword...

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh again, but the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit suddenly approached Alpha and said, "Its bloodline level is too weak to withstand this level of power. If you want to control the power of death, quickly upgrade your pet's bloodline level."

"Bloodline level too low?"

Bai Qi was taken aback at first, but was quickly overjoyed and asked, "So, as long as Alpha's bloodline level is raised to the Monarch level, I can control the power of death?"

The Blood Scythe Demon nodded, then floated behind Bai Qiucha and said, "Young Master Acha, before he has mastered the power of death, you should not fight him, otherwise you will easily get injured."

"Uh, okay."

Bai Qiucha nodded helplessly. She thought that Bai Qisheng would be able to fight her fairly once he reached the fourth rank, but she encountered this situation again, which was really annoying.

However, this means that Xiao Yuan and his group may not be able to challenge Bai Fa for a while, as for what happens when Alpha takes control of the Sword of Death.

There probably aren't many who can beat Bai Qi, after all, this skill is ridiculously overpowered.

Since the two had just come out of the Stone Tower Secret Realm, the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit did not intend for them to continue training, so they each returned to their own secret realms to rest.

Back at the secret base, Alpha immediately found an open space to familiarize himself with the Sword of Death, while Bai Qi summoned Delta and placed the spatial fragments he had just obtained in front of him.

"Delta, try out the effects of space-based materials."

Delta nodded and touched the spatial fragment with her forehead.

As expected, the light of evolution reappeared on Delta's body, and his originally heavy body gradually lengthened, transforming into the shape of a roc.

[Name]: You Tianpeng

[Attribute]: Space

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking monarch

[Introduction]: The Roc, which roams the void, can hide from or ambush enemies by entering the void, making it an extremely troublesome creature.

Space-type creatures!

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he simultaneously activated the timing device.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes...

Ten minutes passed, and Delta still hadn't regressed.

Has this meant that evolution has been successful?

As Delta's figure continued to grow, Bai Qi's expression slowly changed from surprise to delight.

It's not that Delta can't evolve, but that ordinary materials aren't effective enough.

But they've already evolved to the monarch-level life form, so why isn't there any feedback at all?

Bai Qi checked again and found that neither his physical nor mental strength had improved in the slightest, nor had he received any information about new skills from Delta.

This familiar rhythm... could it be that it hasn't fully evolved yet...?
