Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 199 Delta's First Battle

Sure enough, to Bai Qi's regretful look, Delta's new evolutionary form regressed after lasting for half an hour.

"Spatial magic won't work, and mental magic probably won't cut it either. Does that mean we'll have to rely on time magic in the end?"

Seeing Delta weakened by its degeneration, Bai Qi took out green dragon scales to help it recover its strength while pondering Delta's future development.

"However, this evolved form lasted for more than twenty minutes longer than usual. It seems that Delta has a stronger tolerance for space-based materials. We could cultivate it in this direction."

"I'll try the mental-based materials again later. As for the time-based ones..."

Bai Qi smiled bitterly. Space-related materials were one thing, though rare, they should still exist. But as for time-related materials, he had only ever heard of them in books.

Bubbling.

(I'm sorry, Master, Delta has disappointed you again.)

Delta's eyes were filled with disappointment. She lowered her head, not daring to look Bai Qi in the eye. Seeing this, Bai Qi smiled and said, "It's alright. Didn't you improve again this time? Do you feel any changes in your body?"

"change?"

Delta thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It seems so, but it also seems not."

Bai Qi nodded. Delta had encountered this situation before. Although it failed every time it evolved, Delta sometimes seemed to change as the evolution time became longer and longer.

Some enhanced speed, some enhanced physique, and some enhanced mental strength, but most enhanced energy levels.

In response, Bai Qi boldly speculated that as long as Delta can maintain its evolution for a long enough time, it might be able to learn one or two skills.

"I persisted for half an hour this time, so maybe I'll gain something from it."

Bai Qi placed his hand on Delta's head and carefully examined the data.

[Name]: Primordial Beast

【Attributes】: None

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 2, Level 4

[Skills]: Savage Charge (Intermediate - Awakening), Heart of Evolution (Advanced - Perfect)

[Energy Value]: 41000

[Status]: Can Evolve

Has the Savage Charge awakened?

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately focused his mental energy on Savage Collision.

[Skill Name]: Savage Charge

[Skill Level]: Intermediate

[Skill Description]: A normal-type skill that uses the user's body to quickly charge at the opponent and deal damage.

[Skill Upgrade]: ? ? ? - Awakening: Specific data unknown.

Evolution plan: Absorb a large amount of spatial power

The original five options have been reduced to only one awakening skill. Although there is still no specific skill description, the evolution plan now contains specific details.

It failed to evolve, but instead awakened a skill?

Bai Qi's lips curled up slightly. As expected, special materials were required. Spatial skills, not a bad deal.

Delta also learned from Bai Qi that she was able to awaken spatial skills, and her eyes became even more determined as she was overjoyed.

If it can become stronger, then it needs to train even harder.

Knowing Delta's direction for improvement, Bai Qi immediately gave Delta all the space fragments he had and then activated the Evolution Egg.

We were just testing the effect. Now that we've confirmed that space-based materials are effective, it's natural that using the Evolution Egg would be more effective.

Soon, Delta broke open the golden egg on her own initiative, and the spatial fragments disappeared completely, but Delta herself remained completely unchanged.

"Is it because we don't have enough materials?"

Looking at the Savage Charge, which still hadn't successfully awakened, Bai Qi scratched his head in exasperation.

Although they split the crystals equally with Bai Qiucha, the number of space fragments was still considerable, yet it still couldn't help Delta awaken her skills.

"How about we borrow some from Acha first?"

Bai Qi thought about it and then gave up the idea.

Judging from Delta's feedback, even filling in Bai Qiucha's spatial fragments wouldn't be enough. Unless there's a complete spatial crystal, perhaps the awakening can be successful.

Awakening intermediate skills requires legendary materials, so Delta truly deserves the title of "money-devouring beast."

"I've rested enough. Let's go out and see if there's anything else."

Bai Qi put away the Delta and left the secret realm, only to find that Bai Qiucha was already outside.

Bai Heguang left them here for training; keeping them in his personal secret realm wouldn't be very effective. Bai Qiucha only took a short nap before coming out.

As for the purpose, it was naturally to find ferocious beasts for practical combat training.

"Bai Qi, you're out too. Perfect timing! I was planning to explore the depths of the Thousand Cliffs Stone Forest. Shall we come together?"

Because the Nine Netherworld Sparrow had directly entered the Stone Tower Secret Realm, the nearby ferocious beasts had left long ago. If you want to find ferocious beasts to fight, you can only go deeper into the area.

"good!"

Bai Qi looked around but didn't see the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit, realizing that it was probably hiding.

Bai and Guang left the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit behind to keep an eye on their training. If it wasn't hidden, no ferocious beasts would approach, and the training would become meaningless.

Unless they encounter danger, the Blood Scythe Demon is unlikely to reappear.

Both were fourth-tier beast tamers with strong physiques, and even without summoning any pets, they quickly moved away from the original safe area.

hissing...

Soon, the two encountered their first ferocious beast.

Name: Wind Serpent

[Attribute]: Wind

[Bloodline Level]: High Elite

[Growth Level]: Tier 3, Level 2

[Description]: Creatures living high in the mountains can take short flights with the help of strong winds.

"Only level three?"

Upon seeing that the enemy was merely a Tier 3 creature, both Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha showed little interest.

"How about I ride my bone dragon to search? It'll be faster and I can drive away some lower creatures."

Seeing this, Bai Qiucha was about to summon the bone dragon to drive away the wind serpent, but Bai Qi stopped her.

"It's alright, I'll just use this opportunity to train my four pets."

Alpha and Husky are not even worth mentioning. Even if Gamma were to step in, it could probably drain the energy and blood of this wind serpent in an instant. However, it would be more suitable for training Delta, whose level has not yet been raised.

Consider it a boost to Delta's confidence.

"Four pets? That works too."

Bai Qiucha didn't object and stepped aside. After seeing the Primordial Beast summoned by Bai Qi, she couldn't help but ask, "Primordial Beast? Bai Qi, have you not yet decided on a specific development direction?"

The reason why Protomon is supported by many Beastmasters is because its diverse evolution forms give them more choices, which is indeed a good option for some indecisive Beastmasters.

"No, it's just that Delta's situation is a bit special."

Bai Qi briefly described Delta's situation, and Bai Qiucha immediately understood, then became somewhat worried.

A proto-beast that cannot evolve has relatively low training value.

"It's okay, I think I've found a solution."

Bai Qi patted Delta's head, pointed to the wind serpent still hovering in the air, and said, "Delta, try to defeat it."

Plurp plurp!

(Yes, Master!)

Facing the wind serpent that had the advantage in the air, Delta was not discouraged at all. Instead, he was inspired to fight and roared at the wind serpent!

hissing...

Seeing that the opponent had only sent out a second-tier creature, the Wind Serpent felt provoked and roared as it unleashed a whirlwind at Delta.

The whirlwind was quite fast and quickly flew in front of Delta, but Delta easily dodged it.

Although it still hasn't evolved, with so many materials invested, Delta's reaction speed and even its basic attributes have been enhanced, making it quite easy to dodge attacks of this magnitude.

The wind serpent paid no attention to this and spewed out several more whirlwinds, some of which were even mixed with venom.

Seeing this, Delta also increased the frequency of his dodges, using the terrain features of the Thousand Cliffs Stone Forest to avoid the wind serpent's attack.

However, the wind serpents were still resident creatures here, and their knowledge of the terrain clearly surpassed Delta's. Delta was unknowingly forced into a small corner.

However, the Wind Serpent still did not choose to launch a direct attack. After spewing out a gust of wind to cover its form, it actually circled around to Delta's back and opened its big mouth to launch a sneak attack on Delta.

Sneak attacks are a basic instinct for snakes, and the wind snake is no exception.

However, just as the wind serpent's fangs were about to bite Delta, Delta suddenly turned around and accelerated, crashing into the wind serpent.

boom!

Caught off guard, the wind serpent was sent flying by Delta's impact, its two fangs breaking off and tracing a graceful parabola in the air before crashing to the ground.

Delta, on the other hand, was completely unharmed.

"This head is made of real iron..."

Seeing that the Wind Serpent's sneak attack failed and it was instead attacked by Delta, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh.

He clearly saw the wind serpent's fangs pierce Delta's head, but Delta was unharmed while the wind serpent was.

Moreover, Delta, who looks rather simple-minded, actually knew how to lure the enemy in and launch a counter-ambush.

Unfortunately, although Delta's head was tough, its savage charge required a bit of acceleration. At such close range, it didn't do much damage to the wind serpent. Instead, the wind serpent reacted and sprayed a whirlwind directly in Delta's face.

hissing...

Having learned its lesson, the Wind Serpent naturally wouldn't approach Delta so easily again. After instinctively retaliating, it quickly distanced itself from Delta.

Before the wind serpent could adjust its state and attack again, a flash of light appeared, followed by a black wind serpent with a similar shape flying through the whirlwind towards him, while Delta had already disappeared.

Wind Serpent: "???"

The wind serpent, already somewhat dizzy from the impact, stared blankly at its "companion" hurtling towards it. Just as it became aware of its surroundings, the black wind serpent slammed into its face. The immense force even caused the surrounding space to shatter, and the wind serpent fell to the ground on the spot.

After the wind serpent fell to the ground, the black wind serpent swam slowly back to Bai Qi's side and affectionately nuzzled Bai Qi's head.

"This is... your progenitor beast?"

Bai Qiucha looked at Delta, whose appearance had changed drastically, with some surprise, clearly not quite understanding.

"Delta is easily evolved when influenced by external energy, but it only has one form."

Bai Qi patted Delta's head, very satisfied with Delta's first battle.

Although it can only change its appearance and still only uses the savage charge, the effect is surprisingly good.

Moreover, it seems that the impact just now also carried some spatial properties?
