Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 221 Experts Gather

The Tower of Knowledge.

Rune experts from all over the Federation gathered around the daytime mech, studying it and exchanging their opinions. Meanwhile, Lan Ke, the tower master of the Tower of Knowledge and the chief moderator of this analysis group, stood quietly not far away, seemingly waiting for something.

"Is Blue Legend waiting for Bai Qi and Chairman Qin?"

Professor Dong walked up to Lan Ke and said, "They went to the Tower of Sacred Relics together, they should be here soon."

Seeing Professor Dong approach, Lan Ke immediately bowed slightly and said, "Professor Dong, you can just call me Lan Ke."

Professor Dong smiled slightly and said, "You are a legend, while I am just Master Xi Ri. It is not appropriate to call you by your name."

Lan Ke shook her head and said, "This is just a custom from the old days. You are an elder, and Lan Ke dares not claim to be a legend."

"You..."

Professor Dong smiled helplessly but did not insist. He was somewhat surprised when he saw Xiao Ding walking in from outside the door.

"Has Xiao Chuanqi joined the analysis team too?"

Lan Ke said, "The main function of the mechs during the day is to provide support, and the Tower of Moonlight is the most professional in this regard, so the guild leader asked Tower Master Xiao to help. Tower Master Xiang should also be here later."

"Three tower masters, it seems the guild leader is determined to break through these dual celestial armors."

Upon hearing this, Professor Dong suddenly realized what was happening, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I wonder what will happen after Lao Qin and Xiao Chuanqi meet?"

Seeing Professor Dong's expression, Lan Ke pursed her lips slightly and said, "Professor Dong, you are as witty as ever, but business is more important. The two seniors shouldn't have a falling out on the spot."

"Perhaps..."

Just as the two were whispering to each other, Xiang Li appeared at the door with President Qin and Bai Qi. The group of rune scholars who were studying the daytime mecha stopped their conversation and turned their attention to Bai Qi.

As some of the Federation's leading rune experts, they were naturally very interested in this young man who had researched rune evolution.

Of course, there was more skepticism than doubt.

Runes are not like other things that can be mastered overnight with a little talent. They require a long period of accumulation and research. As far as they know, Bai Qi has been exposed to runes for a shorter time than he has been a beast tamer.

They absolutely did not believe that Bai Qi could independently develop such a groundbreaking study as rune evolution.

It wouldn't have been a problem in itself, since the Federation has its share of people like Bai Qi who come here to gain experience. But the fact that Zhao Futu added Bai Qi to the analysis team for the daytime mechs is quite controversial.

Bai Qi also noticed the doubt in these people's eyes and scratched his head helplessly.

It wasn't that he cared about these people's doubts. Originally, the rune evolution was a product of being forced to research by Old Man Qin. Apart from that, he was indeed a novice when it came to runes.

But being stared at like a panda by so many people is really uncomfortable.

Why don't you go back to class? You can ask Old Man Qin or Xiang Li for a copy of the research results later.

"Ahem, sorry we're late. We were doing some experiments with Master Xiang, which took a bit of time."

Upon seeing this, Chairman Qin immediately stepped in front of Bai Qi, drawing his attention to the situation.

"An experiment? President Qin, weren't you here to participate in the daytime mecha analysis?"

A gaunt-faced rune expert immediately asked.

"That's right. I just happened to hear that Bai Qi had researched the second stage of rune evolution, so on a whim, I did some experiments at the Tower of Sacred Relics. Look, Tower Master Xiang was also a witness."

"Second-stage rune evolution?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately in an uproar. After the Rune Evolution Special Research Group was established, many of them had applied to join, while others had been exploring and researching in this direction on their own, so they all had some understanding of it.

Unsurprisingly, they were all stuck on the issue of subsequent evolution.

And now, President Qin is actually telling them that Bai Qi has figured out the second stage of rune evolution?

Is this another special task force trying to embellish Bai Qi's image?

"That's right, it is indeed the second stage of rune evolution. I just saw it with my own eyes. In my judgment, although Bai Qi's research results are not perfect, they are already ready for widespread application."

Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Xiang Li stepped forward to vouch for Bai Qi, and Professor Dong did the same.

"I just told you all that I had some good news to share, and this is it. I originally wanted to witness the first experiment with you all, but I didn't expect that Master Xiang would beat me to it."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Li's face showed an apologetic expression, and he said, "I'm sorry, Professor Dong. I just got carried away and dragged Bai Qixian to do the experiment."

Listening to their conversation, everyone present fell silent. Although their eyes were still full of disbelief, the doubts from before were gone.

With Xiang Li and Professor Dong as witnesses, it's probably true that Bai Qi has researched the second stage of rune evolution. However, considering Bai Qi's age, they still find it hard to believe.

"Alright everyone, our mission this time is to analyze the daytime mech, not the second stage of rune evolution, so let's put this topic aside for now."

Lan Ke's gaze swept over everyone present, and the scene immediately fell silent, even for Xiao Ding and Xiang Li.

Although Lan Ke is the youngest among the six tower masters, her status is second only to Zhao Futu. In addition, Lan Ke is the leader of this analysis team, so they naturally have to give her some face.

Is this the deterrent power of the Tower Master of the Tower of Knowledge?

Seeing that Lan Ke, who clearly had no terrifying aura but could easily suppress the entire scene, Bai Qi also obediently joined the team without saying a word.

Lan Ke is Lu Qing's teacher. Judging from Lu Qing's cunning appearance, Lan Ke is probably the same. It's best not to provoke her.

"Hmm!"

Just as Bai Qi had this thought, he felt a tightness in his chest. He then saw that Lan Ke, who had been speaking, had somehow turned her gaze on him, and the pressure came from Lan Ke's gaze.

"Blue Legend is a super-powered beast tamer and also an esper. He can sense other people's hostility, so you'd better not think about anything ridiculous."

President Qin noticed Bai Qi's similarity and immediately reminded him.

A super-powered beast tamer? Yet another one who can read minds?

Bai Qi felt a chill run down his spine and immediately tried to disrupt his thoughts to avoid revealing his intentions.

Fortunately, Lan Ke didn't seem inclined to delve deeper into Bai Qi's questions. She continued, "The rune structure of the mechs during the day is extremely complex. To ensure progress, I plan to divide everyone into simple groups and assign tasks for analysis. What do you all think?"

"Can."

"That's a good idea."

Everyone readily agreed. Although they were all experts in runes, their research focused on different areas, and forcing them to work together would not be very efficient.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lan Ke nodded slightly, and then began to divide the group: "Energy circulation structure: Professor Dong, Wang..."

"Defense System Structure: Tower Master Xiang, Li..."

"..."

"Healing System Structure: Tower Master Xiao, President Qin, ..."

"That concludes my preliminary group assignments. Does anyone have any objections?"

After Lan Ke announced the list, she turned her gaze to President Qin and Xiao Ding, but both of them remained silent, turning their heads away from each other without saying a word.

"Um, Blue Tower Master, which group am I in?"

Seeing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Bai Qi suddenly stood up and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Bai Qi, you have a good talent for runes and have achieved results, but your foundation is still too weak. We will not assign you any tasks for the time being. You can go to the Tower of Knowledge to improve your foundation. If you are interested, you can check out the other groups."

Lan Ke remained silent for a moment before offering an explanation.

During these days of intensive training, she naturally saw Bai Qi's talent. He was talented, had ideas, and was not bound by traditional thinking, so he could easily break the rules and do things that ordinary people could not do.

However, Bai Qi's foundation was too weak, so even if he achieved great things, it would only be a castle in the air.

Although Chairman Zhao personally instructed Bai Qi to join the mechanical team, Lan Ke still hoped that Bai Qi could take this opportunity to solidify his foundation.

However, saying this in front of so many people might be difficult for a rising star like Bai Qi to accept.

"Really? Thank you, Master Blue Tower!"

To Lan Ke's surprise, Bai Qi, who was "exiled to the frontier," showed no impatience whatsoever; on the contrary, he was unusually satisfied.

With no mandatory tasks, the ability to move freely between groups, and the free access to the Tower of Knowledge's materials, is there anything better than being a free agent?

Moreover, he now wants to help Alpha integrate the Phoenix Feathers first.

"Well, everyone, please continue with your work. I'll be going now."

Bai Qi bowed to the crowd, and before Chairman Qin could say anything more, he turned and strode away.

"Why do I feel like Bai Qi and Luo Xiang are becoming more and more alike?"

Looking at Bai Qi, who was decisive and efficient, Professor Dong couldn't help but think of Luo Xiang from back then, who seemed to be just like him.

"I don't think so. Bai Qi is much better at creating drama than Luo Xiang."

President Qin smacked his lips. He knew Bai Qi's personality very well. He was determined to keep Bai Qi somewhere so he could focus on his research, but Bai Qi would absolutely not agree to that.

At least, since he met Bai Qi, he has never seen Bai Qi specialize in any particular area.

The simplest example is that Bai Qi originally planned to perform mechanical modifications on the skeletal creatures, but now he has directly turned it into rune evolution.

"Hmph! A fickle mind is ultimately a waste of talent."

Upon hearing Chairman Qin's words, Xiao Ding suddenly snorted coldly and retorted. Chairman Qin, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak up, saying, "You old geezer, do you think everyone is as stubborn as you?"

"Tch, with your lifestyle skills, you've managed to lose one of your contract slots?"

"you……"

Watching the two argue like children, Professor Dong sighed helplessly and said, "These two, as expected, have started arguing."

"As expected, as long as it doesn't affect the analysis, it's fine."

Lan Ke responded casually and then disappeared from the spot. Professor Dong followed suit and began to talk with the members of her group.

These two have been arguing their whole lives. Now that they've met again after so long, it's good that they finish their fight first, so as not to affect the analysis progress.

The first monarch-level character is coming soon!
