Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 222 The First King-Level Being (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

After leaving the Tower of Knowledge, Bai Qi headed straight for the Green Dragon Secret Realm.

Strike while the iron is hot. Having just exchanged for the Phoenix Feather, there's no reason to just hold onto it and admire it. Naturally, it should be converted into real combat power as soon as possible.

However, Alpha has been stuck at the High Lord level for a long time. This evolution might allow Alpha to evolve directly to the Monarch level. At that time, the stamina consumed might exceed his limit. It would be safer for him to stay by Nicholas's side.

When Bai Qi entered the Emerald Valley, he saw Nicholas, who had transformed into human form, sitting in the middle of the valley, occasionally picking some branches and leaves from the flowers and plants and fiddling with something.

Seeing this, Bai Qi walked over curiously, and after noticing the teacups in front of Nicholas, couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing Bai Qi speak, Nicholas immediately looked up and said, "Bai Qi, you've come at the right time. Could you help me find the best cup of tea?"

Bai Qi picked up one of the teacups, looked at the plant roots still covered in soil inside, his eye twitched slightly, and said, "You call this tea?"

"Isn't that right?"

Nicholas said with some surprise, "I've done my research. The ancient kingdoms of the distant East like to soak the branches and leaves of certain plants in water to make tea. Our leader is a wingless dragon, so she'll definitely like something from her homeland."

Is this for Granny Fan? Has this guy forgotten his past mistakes and reverted to his sycophantic nature?

Also, you just left the secret realm yesterday, so where did you go to investigate this?

"Hehe~ I suggest you don't give this kind of thing to Granny Fan, or you might get beaten to death."

Bai Qi put down his teacup and gave Nicholas a sound piece of advice.

"Does the boss not like tea? Hmm, how about we make a fruit platter? Or maybe stir-fry some vegetarian dishes?"

Nicholas was taken aback by what he heard. He pushed aside a pile of teacups in front of him, pulled out a cookbook from somewhere, and began to study it seriously.

So eager to learn, are all dragon-licking attempts this terrifying...?

Bai Qi sighed helplessly and said, "Put this aside for now and do me a favor."

"help?"

Hearing this, Nicholas looked up curiously and said, "Your pet is evolving again? Didn't I already give you the green dragon scales?"

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "I was just worried that the green dragon scales wouldn't be able to withstand it. It's safer with you around."

"But I still need to prepare breakfast for Big Sister..."

"I'll ask Grandma Fan about her eating habits later!"

"Let's begin, I'm ready."

Seeing that Nicholas agreed, Bai Qi summoned Alpha, then took out the Phoenix Feather and said, "Alpha, let's try this out first and see if it has any adverse effects on you?"

Although fire-type undead do exist, such as the Hellfire Ghostfire and its Fire Armor Corpse, Bai Qi was still somewhat worried about using a legendary resource like the Phoenix Feather.

Crackling.

Alpha nodded, opened the crystal box, and carefully placed a finger on the Phoenix Feather.

In an instant, a crimson flame appeared at Alpha's fingertip and spread along his finger towards Alpha's head.

Holy crap, that was really dangerous!

Bai Qi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and a large black snake immediately emerged from Alpha's body, grabbing the flame in its mouth and trying to extinguish it.

But this flame seemed completely unafraid of the Yamata no Orochi's phantom soul. Even when it was bitten in the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi's phantom, it did not go out. Instead, it seemed to be burning even brighter.

Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately drew the Sword of Death and severed the head of the Yamata no Orochi with a single strike. The crimson flames then separated, slowly extinguishing only after the serpent's head had been burned away.

"The Phoenix Feather is really dangerous."

Seeing the Yamata no Orochi, which had lost another head due to being burned by the flames, Bai Qi roughly understood the special nature of this material.

"No wonder Master Xiang reminded me to find materials to neutralize the flames of the Phoenix Feather. Apart from fire-type creatures, I doubt many could withstand such burning power."

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, then took out paper and pen and began to scribble.

"Bai Qi, what are you drawing? Didn't you say it was about advancement?"

Nicholas, who was already in a hurry to prepare breakfast for Granny Fan, saw Bai Qi still dawdling and urged him impatiently.

"Wait a moment, let me design a rune system to store the fire energy first."

The flames of the Phoenix Feather were too intense. Even with the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi was still somewhat worried if they weren't mitigated.

After all, besides relying on the Evolution Egg, another reason why Alpha was able to fuse with the power of death was that Alpha itself had already mastered the power of decay with similar attributes. Otherwise, apart from Gamma, who had a mutated physique, there really weren't many people who could withstand it so hard.

But Bai Qi felt a little reluctant to weaken the effects of the Phoenix Feathers before fusing them together.

After all, these are the feathers of the phoenix. Weakening them even a little is a loss. What if Alpha also gets a similar life-saving skill like the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell?

Soon, a complete energy storage structure was completed under Bai Qi's command.

"Alpha, try it out first."

Crackling.

(OK.)

Alpha nodded, extending a crystal bone to carve the runes Bai Qi had just designed onto it, and then touched the Phoenix Feather again.

It was still that crimson flame, but it no longer spread as rapidly as before; instead, it gradually merged into the rune structure.

This state only lasted for a short while before the crimson flames surged and burned fiercely once again.

"It can store some energy, but for a short time."

Bai Qi stroked the downy hair on his chin, modified the rune structure again, and then let Alpha continue the experiment.

After dozens of attempts, Bai Qi finally designed a structure that could store the Phoenix Flame for a relatively long time.

"However, this structure is a bit too big, where should we carve it?"

Looking at the final rune structure, Bai Qi scratched his head. Looking at the Gravity Sword and Death Sword on Alpha's back, which seemed a bit mismatched in size, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

"Since Frostmourne has become the Sword of Death, let's have Fire Joy too!"

Without hesitation, Bai Qi immediately drew a greatsword shape around the outer edge of the rune structure, very similar to Frostmourne, except that the ram's head demon carving on it was replaced by a hollowed-out feather shape.

After carefully inspecting the blueprints and confirming that there were no problems, Bai Qi handed them over to Alpha and then summoned Gamma.

With the ability to convert life energy, Gamma can now channel energy into other people's bodies. If the green dragon scales can't withstand it, Gamma can try first.

If it works, then in the event of a sudden evolution, we won't have to worry about Nicholas being gone.

"Alpha, make a sword like this, and then put the Phoenix Feather inside."

Alpha nodded, and a crystal sword, a one-to-one replica, suddenly took shape. He then quickly grabbed the Phoenix Feather and placed it into the hollowed-out part of the greatsword.

In an instant, crimson flames blazed fiercely, but were quickly absorbed into the greatsword, and the originally transparent crystal greatsword gradually turned crimson as well.

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately placed his right hand on Alpha's body to activate the Evolution Egg.

Just as Bai Qi had expected, the moment he activated the Evolution Egg, a familiar feeling of exhaustion washed over him from all over his body. The green dragon scales on his chest lit up, continuously channeling vibrant life force into Bai Qi's body.

Even so, Bai Qi's condition did not improve.

This time, the evolution egg absorbed energy at an incredibly fast pace, and the green dragon scales were clearly struggling to keep up.

"Gamma!"

Upon realizing something was wrong, Bai Qi immediately roared loudly. Gamma then leaped onto Bai Qi's body and activated the life energy conversion function, continuously channeling energy into Bai Qi's body.

Bai Qi still felt his body getting weaker and weaker. Although it was very slow, judging from the degree of condensation of the golden egg, he obviously couldn't hold on until the golden egg was formed.

"Nicholas, you should do it."

Bai Qi immediately asked Nicholas for help, and Nicholas, who was in a hurry to find Granny Fan, did not hesitate and put a hand on Bai Qi's shoulder, continuously pouring the power of jade into Bai Qi's body.

With Nicholas's support, Bai Qi's condition immediately improved, and the Golden Egg quickly solidified and enveloped Alpha.

At the same time, Bai Qi felt a burning sensation on the runes on the back of his left hand, and a strange energy flowed from Alpha towards Bai Qi along the runes.

There was already feedback at the very beginning of the evolution? Is it a special case because it is a monarch-level?

Feeling the energy constantly being transmitted from Alpha, Bai Qi simply sat up, meditating and silently adapting to this energy.

Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be alright, Nicholas stopped what he was doing and then buried himself in studying Granny Fan's breakfast again.

"Hmm, the boss should have had breakfast by now, let's prepare lunch first..."

Looking at the exquisite dishes on the menu, Nicholas was immediately full of energy. He pulled out some kitchen utensils he had somehow acquired and started tinkering.

……

As time passed, Nicholas carefully placed a carved flower on the plate, checked its position, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"One hundred and eight dishes should be enough for the eldest sister."

Looking at the dishes that had taken him most of the day to create, Nicholas nodded in satisfaction. He then used the Emerald Breath to preserve the freshness and decided to send the dishes to Granny Fan first.

"This evolution has taken a bit too long. Oh well, I'll go deliver some food to the boss first."

As Nicholas looked at the still motionless golden egg and was about to leave, the surrounding space suddenly dimmed, and the land, plants, and even the surrounding energy gradually lost their vitality.

"This is... a monarch's force field?"

Nicholas reacted immediately, and a larger green space suddenly appeared, dispelling the effects of the black force field.

At the same time, Bai Qi, who had been silently receiving feedback from Alpha, opened his eyes and stared intently at the golden egg in front of him.

Is the first monarch-level being coming?
