Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 204 The Secret Realm of the Dharma Emperor?

"So, you can only roughly understand what the Thunder Rat is saying, but you can't directly issue commands to it through the contract, right?"

Bai Qi summarized the user experience of Bai Qiucha and then took the Spirit Ball to examine it.

To avoid the contract slots being occupied, Bai Qi simplified the contract runes considerably, retaining only a basic mental communication channel.

Judging from its current state, the Spirit Orb has indeed broken free from the influence of the contract position, but it also seems to have lost the ability to communicate directly with its pet.

As for mutual growth, that's out of the question.

"It's really unrealistic to have both."

Bai Qi smacked his lips. He had originally been thinking about whether he could develop a new contract system using the Spirit Control Orb, but he was clearly overthinking it.

"Actually, I think this is pretty good."

Seeing Bai Qi's dejected look, Bai Qiucha immediately comforted him, "Although the proportion of Beast Tamers among the Federation's citizens is increasing, there are still many people in the Federation who cannot awaken their talents. Even if you can't gradually become stronger like Beast Tamers, it's still good to be able to acquire a pet companion."

"That seems to make sense."

Bai Qi nodded. He had once been one of those people without talent, so he could understand that feeling.

Even if you can't grow like other beast tamers, having a pet that you can communicate with is still pretty good.

Moreover, this is only the first version. As it is gradually improved in the future, it may be able to achieve the effect of the cursed contract.

Isn't this curse mark also something that evolved from a slave contract after Gaia, the world's will, descended upon us?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately perked up again.

The first-generation Spirit Orb had many problems. In addition to its low spiritual energy storage capacity, there was also the issue of the target beast's resistance, which needed to be addressed. After all, not everyone has a bone dragon to scare the target into unconsciousness so that you can form a contract with it.

In addition, there is the issue of where to place the contracted pets.

Speaking of which, how exactly did Ash manage to get his Poké Ball?

Pet shrinking? Spatial device?

There are quite a few projects to tackle!

……

"Thunder Rat, use Quick Attack!"

thunder!!!

Somewhere in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, a baby-faced boy was all smiles as he directed a Thunder Rat and a Wind Serpent in a battle, thoroughly enjoying himself.

A week has passed since Bai Qiucha used the Spirit Ball to contract Thunder Rat. After paying the price of countless lightning baptisms, Thunder Rat's affection for Bai Qiucha has skyrocketed, and Bai Qiucha can now command Thunder Rat to engage in some simple battles.

Soon, the Wind Serpent, which was unable to exert its strength under the suppression of the Bone Dragon's might, was stunned by a bolt of lightning from the Thunder Rat, and the Thunder Rat and Acha cheered in unison.

"Well done!"

Bai Qiucha hugged the Thunder Rat that charged at him and gave it a thumbs up in appreciation. The Thunder Rat seemed to enjoy the treatment and rubbed against Bai Qiucha affectionately.

"I never expected that Acha would like cute pets. The difference between her and the Bone Dragon is just too great."

Bai Qi leaned against the mountain wall, watching Bai Qiucha laughing happily with the young people who had just formed contracts with their pet beasts, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

They say your appearance reflects your heart, and Ah Cha's baby face is definitely a perfect match.

Cute kids with cute pets, right?

Plurp plurp!

(Master, I won again!)

Delta, having also finished the battle, descended from the sky clutching a Fierce Feathered Sparrow, reverting back to the form of a Protomon.

"Well done."

Bai Qi glanced at the Fierce Feather Sparrow, who was foaming at the mouth and had obviously been knocked unconscious, and gave Delta a thumbs up.

Since incorporating some spatial attributes, Delta's Savage Charge has been upgraded, with its attack power greatly increased. In addition, Delta's ability to change its form according to external energy has made its combat effectiveness far exceed Bai Qi's expectations.

It was precisely because of this that Delta's warlike nature was completely ignited, and whenever he encountered a ferocious beast, he would try to fight it regardless of whether he could defeat it or not.

Plurp plurp!

(Delta went back to training.)

Delta was delighted to receive Bai Qi's praise and shook her head. Then she walked to a stone pillar and began practicing her skills on her own.

boom!boom!boom! ...

As Bai Qi watched the stone pillar swaying under Delta's savage impact, his smile grew even brighter.

Although it wasn't as fast as using resources to enhance it, Delta's daily cycle of evolution and degeneration improved its basic stats considerably. While it wasn't as exceptionally strong in any one stat as Alpha and the others, its stats were well-balanced and had no weaknesses.

Once Delta awakens its spatial skills, its output will be guaranteed, making it a truly versatile pet!

"When are we going to go back, teacher? We're hoping to get first place and exchange it for legendary resources."

Bai Qi felt a pang of regret at the thought of losing another week of time to grind for points.

Although the gains here were not small, they were still far inferior to the two legendary resources of the first place winner, not to mention that he might be able to get another one by using points.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Blood Scythe demon, which had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly appeared and said, "Young Master Acha, someone is coming."

Upon hearing Blood Scythe's words, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha immediately became alert and summoned their pets to prepare for battle.

The Thousand Cliffs Stone Forest is located in a no-man's-land, so even if you encounter humans, you can't let your guard down.

Soon, accompanied by a whooshing sound, a high-tech aircraft appeared in the sky.

"Mad Owl?"

Bai Qi was the first to recognize the aircraft model, and the pilot of Kuang Xiao seemed to have also noticed their presence, slowing down and stopping in front of them.

Seeing this, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha looked at each other in bewilderment. When Bai Qi saw Yi Yu, Wang Huai and others getting off the mad owl, he was taken aback.

"Minister Yi, Captain Wang?"

Yi Yu smiled faintly and said, "Bai Qi, I didn't expect to run into you here."

As he spoke, Yi Yu also noticed Bai Qiucha and the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit behind them, and said, "The young master of Legend Bai is here too. Could it be that Legend Bai is also nearby?"

Bai Qiucha shook her head and said, "My dad had to leave first."

"I see."

Yi Yu nodded, then quickly noticed the Thunder Rat in Bai Qiucha's arms and asked, "Young Master Bai, have you contracted a new pet beast?"

"I can only contract one pet beast, Minister Yi should know that."

Bai Qiucha shook her head, not revealing the matter of the Spirit Orb.

Bai Qi's invention was absolutely epoch-making. He wouldn't easily tell anyone, let alone the Thirteenth Bureau, before he had fully completed it.

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately stepped forward to change the subject, saying, "Minister Yi has come in person, is there some problem with the Thousand Cliffs Stone Forest?"

Previously, during such a major event at the First Emperor's Secret Realm, Yi Yu only showed his face when he came out to greet Luo Xiang, and then he never appeared again. Now, he has actually personally led a team to the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest. There must be something here that attracts the Thirteenth Bureau.

Yi Yu smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just came to verify some discoveries."

"I see. Then we won't bother you any longer."

Bai Qi understood, nodded slightly to Wang Huai and the others, and then prepared to leave.

Having experienced the First Emperor's Secret Realm last time, Bai Qi had a general understanding of the relationship between the Beast Tamer Association and the Thirteenth Bureau.

Cooperation is fine, personal relationships are fine too, but there's no need to get too close.

"Wait a mininute."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Yi Yu suddenly spoke up, saying, "Since we've run into each other, why don't you two come with us? After all, the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest is close to the Black Python Tribe, which is quite dangerous."

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Yi Yu and the special forces team were dispatched together, so they must have some special mission. It was obviously not appropriate for them to follow along.

Yi Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, and we might even need Bai Qi's help later."

Help? Is it some kind of secret realm?

Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Then we'll trouble you."

They've gotten tired of fighting ferocious beasts in the Thousand Cliffs Stone Forest these past few days, so it's nice to change things up.

Seeing that the two agreed, Yi Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's not far from our destination, let's just walk there."

With that, Yi Yu led the way towards the Black Python Tribe.

Bai Qi was taken aback upon seeing this, and leaned closer to Wang Huai to ask, "Captain Wang, your mission location isn't in the Black Python Tribe, is it?"

Wang Huai couldn't help but smile wryly, saying, "How could that be? The Black Python Tribe has a legendary creature guarding it. With just our numbers, aren't we just going to be easy prey?"

"That's good."

They had just killed a ferocious beast and two beast soul masters from the Black Python tribe a few days ago, so for them to come knocking on their door now is like asking for trouble.

"Bai Qi, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be participating in the Beast Tamer Association's training camp?"

Tang Miao skipped and hopped over to Bai Qi, then noticed the four runes on the back of Bai Qi's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Qi, you're at the fourth level?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "I just leveled up a few days ago."

Tang Miao: "..."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's confirmation, Wang Huai couldn't help but look at Li Xusheng and ask, "Xusheng, are you sure Bai Qi was still at Tier 2 when you went to Gusu City?"

Li Xusheng nodded and said, "That's right."

"I suddenly feel like I'm such a useless person."

Wang Huai sighed heavily, clearly finding it hard to believe, and the Baili brothers nodded repeatedly.

"Bai Qi, you really are..."

"sharp."

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, I was just lucky."

If it weren't for the Evolution Egg and Green Dragon Scale bug, plus the Dream Potion, he wouldn't have been able to level up so quickly. If we're talking about geniuses, Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng are the real deal.

"Luck? I want that kind of luck too."

Tang Miao pouted and said, "By the way, Bai Qi, you still haven't told us why you came here."

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "I'm just here for training, but I should be going back soon."

Tang Miao understood upon hearing this and was about to ask further when Yi Yu, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and said, "We've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi looked over and saw Yi Yu take out a dilapidated rune puppet and place it in front of a mountain wall. Then, he took out a red key and inserted it into a notch on the rune puppet.

This is the key to the Tower of Gratitude and the final rune golem.

Is the 13th Bureau here to find the next secret realm of the Twin Towers?
