Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 237 Professor X. Beta Francis

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Qi finally stopped, looked at the enormous new spirit sphere structure in front of him, and shook his slightly dizzy head.

Taking advantage of his previous state, Bai Qi further improved the structure of the Spirit Control Orb, not only strengthening the mental communication structure but also greatly improving the operational structure of the contract runes.

Moreover, this design also adopts the structural layout of mechanical engineering, which can be described as a complete transformation.

"I don't know how effective it will be, but if it works, it will truly be the development of a completely new system."

Bai Qi put away the projection and was about to ask Shuke about the mental energy storage device when he saw Shuke putting a helmet on Beta.

"Shuke, what are you doing?"

Bai Qi curiously stepped forward, and as soon as he asked a question, he felt a powerful spiritual force surging towards him, followed by a familiar voice ringing in his mind.

"Human, I can talk to you directly now!"

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Beta had not been communicating with him through the contract, but had directly connected to his mind using mental power.

"You used a whisper of the soul?"

"No, I simply connected with your mental energy."

Beta was clearly very satisfied with her current state, constantly sharing her joy in Bai Qi's mind. Bai Qi, who was already feeling dizzy from overworking his brain, felt a wave of dizziness and wanted to disconnect, but he couldn't do it at all.

Now, Beta has forcibly established a connection with him using his mental power, and the contract cannot break it. Unless Bai Qi's mental power is stronger than Beta's, or he can forcibly control Beta's behavior through the contract, it is absolutely impossible to interrupt.

Fortunately, Bai Qi quickly discovered the source of the noise and ripped off the metal helmet from Beta's head, instantly silencing the commotion.

Wang Wang!

(Human, why are you taking away my fun!)

Seeing Beta's aggrieved expression as he tried to snatch the helmet back, Bai Qi became even more curious about it. He examined it closely but couldn't discern anything special about it.

"Shuke, what have you come up with?"

Shuke took the helmet and said, "I imitated your new design of mental energy storage structure, Beastmaster, and replaced it with mental energy amplification runes to create a mental energy amplifier. This helmet is a sample."

"A mental power amplifier?"

Looking at the helmet in his hand, Bai Qi unconsciously thought of a bald professor in a certain X-Men movie who could see into everyone's minds when he put on his helmet.

Is this thing really something they can make?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi put the helmet back on Beta's head, and the familiar voice rang out again.

"Shuke, remember to secure this helmet to me next time. I'm not taking it off anymore."

Beta held onto his helmet tightly, watching Bai Qi warily, afraid that Bai Qi would snatch it away again.

"Huh? There are actually humans who can see into other people's minds?"

Just as Bai Qi was about to continue asking about the mental power amplification helmet, Beta seemed to have glimpsed something from Bai Qi's memories, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

"Teaching wayward teenagers to become great heroes? This human is so cool!"

Upon hearing Beta's words, Bai Qi immediately realized something and quickly used the contract to sever his connection with Beta. However, Beta seemed to be engrossed in his own fantasy and did not pay any attention.

"I've made up my mind! I will become that kind of being! From today onwards, please call me Professor X Beta Francis!"

This guy actually saw his own memories...

Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed helplessly and said, "Shuke, your mental power amplification... never mind, let's just call it the Mind Helmet. How many times can this Mind Helmet amplify mental power?"

"Theoretically, it can increase by about 20 times, but considering the limits of tolerance, it can only increase by 10 times at most, and it cannot be maintained for too long. If you want it to run for a long time, three to five times is the optimal range."

Shuke quickly reported his theoretical data, saying, "At the same time, in order to ensure that mental energy is not excessively consumed, I have also added your mental energy storage device to the helmet. It has been verified that it should be able to store about twice the current total amount of Beta's mental energy."

"Hmm, it can store so much?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Although he had anticipated that the effect would be much better after the major revisions, he hadn't expected it to be this good.

With the Mind Helmet that Shuke had concocted himself, he no longer needed to verify the feasibility of fusion between runes and machinery.

"But Shuk, are you planning to use the Mind Helmet in combat?"

Shuke nodded and said, "I guess so, but this is just an experiment. After all, it relies on a mental energy storage device. More trials are needed before it can be widely used."

Bai Qi looked at Beta, who was beaming with excitement, and said, "Why don't we test your current combat strength? With stronger mental power, your combat strength should also be stronger."

"Alright, I also plan to test the beta's load-bearing limit."

Shuke agreed with Bai Qi's suggestion, and Beta nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Then let's begin, Whispers of the Soul!"

"Not here..."

Seeing that Beta was about to try out his skills right there, Bai Qi immediately tried to stop him, but before he could finish speaking, a terrifying mental storm swept towards him, and Bai Qi immediately fainted.

Awoo awoo!

(What's wrong with humanity?)

"I was stunned by your mental power."

Huh?

(How could that be? I wasn't aiming at humans!)

"You just amplified your power tenfold; the aftershocks of your mental energy are sufficient."

Wang Wang!

(If the aftershocks are this strong, does that mean I'm already very strong?)

"Theoretically speaking, if the Beastmaster wakes up and doesn't slice you into pieces, then..."

Huh?

(Is it too late for me to run away tonight?)

Shuk: "..."

……

After a long while, Bai Qi finally woke up and felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he had a hangover.

"That Beta guy, he actually used a soul whisper on me, is he trying to betray me..."

Bai Qi tried hard to recall everything that had happened before. He was both annoyed and somewhat surprised that Beta had used his mental power to knock him unconscious.

The ability to directly stun him with mental power—just how many times did the Mind Helmet amplify this guy's mental power?

Hmm, but it seems pretty good. If I secretly use this in battles in the future, I doubt many beast tamers can withstand it.

Even if it's not used on beast tamers, it will probably have a significant impact on pets. I'll ask Alpha to help me test it later.

Awooo...

(Human, you're awake. How are you feeling?)

Just as Bai Qi was pondering how to use the Mind Helmet in battle, Beta ran over with a fawning expression, a basket of Angel Fruits clutched in his mechanical arm, looking like he knew all the rules.

"You stupid dog, you should learn how to control your mind."

Bai Qi patted Beta's head and gently reminded it, which made Beta, who was originally prepared to be sliced, feel flattered. But before it could breathe a sigh of relief, it suddenly felt Bai Qi's hand on its head suddenly tighten, and Bai Qi's voice also turned cold.

"If you accidentally hurt me again, you'll be sliced ​​into pieces!"

Awooo...

(I understand...)

Seeing Beta back down, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the Mind Helmet placed aside, he said, "Shuke, you should research and make me another helmet that isolates mental energy another day, otherwise I'm afraid this idiot will turn me into a fool sooner or later."

"I've already started designing it, and it should be completed soon."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, then looked at Beta again and said, "However, the impact just now was indeed very strong. 'Soul Whisper' is a bit inappropriate. Let's just rename it 'Mental Storm'."

Huh?

(Mental storm? Sounds amazing, I love it!)

Beta was clearly very satisfied with the name of his new skill and immediately wanted to put on the helmet and try it again, but he shrank back after seeing Bai Qi's murderous eyes.

"Until the mental energy isolation helmet is developed, you need to work on your control over it properly. Otherwise, no matter how strong your mental energy is, it will be useless if it is too scattered."

Awooo...

(Yes, yes, yes, I'll go train right now...)

Looking at the Mind Helmet that Bai Qi had sealed away, Beta looked utterly hopeless, but after thinking about the experience of a certain bald professor, he suddenly felt motivated again.

One day, I too will become someone who educates the world!

Hmm, it seems that this kind of thinking is also found in the scriptures given by humans?

I've got it!

Beta seemed to have figured out a certain challenge and entered a meditative state, which left Bai Qi somewhat puzzled.

Why is this thing suddenly so obedient?

Bai Qi scratched his head blankly, then sent the new structural diagram of the Spirit Control Orb to Shu Ke, saying, "Shu Ke, hurry up and make a sample for me. I'll go find A Cha to test the effect."

Since Zhuge Chen wasn't nearby, Bai Qiucha, whose contract slot was already taken, was naturally the best choice for the Spirit Orb.

……

Assembly Hall.

Bai Qiucha stepped out of the Anywhere Door, glanced at her name at the top of the rankings, and her eyes grew even more determined.

Since Bai Qi left the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, he has hardly come to the training camp except to ask me for notes at the same time every day. The instructors seem to have tacitly accepted this behavior and never ranked Bai Qi's performance.

But everyone knows that if Bai Qi comes back, he will probably still be number one.

"What's wrong, Acha? You still look like this even after winning first place again?"

Xiao Yuan, who was only one point behind Bai Qiucha, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Are you feeling a bit bored without Bai Qi around?"

Bai Qiucha said, "Brother Xiao, the pressure you all put on me is immense. I've already given it my all, but I still feel like something's missing."

Xiao Yuan laughed and said, "That's right. Without Bai Qi, that prodigy, ahead of us, I don't feel much motivation to keep up."

"Tch, you two perverts shouldn't be reflecting on yourselves here. At least leave some way for us ordinary people to survive. We're on the verge of collapse..."

Bai Yuxiao walked over with a disdainful look and complained, "Because of the two of you, the instructors have raised the passing score several times. If this continues, I'm going to get a beating from my dad again."

"Be content. If Bai Qi were still here, the passing grade would probably have risen even faster."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxiao waved her hand and said, "Impossible. I heard from my dad that Bai Qi has been spending all his time at the Tower of Knowledge lately. It would be a miracle if we ran into him."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bai Qiucha suddenly nudged Bai Yuxiao, then pointed ahead and said, "Look, the ghost is here."

Bai Yuxiao looked in the direction Bai Qiucha was pointing and saw Bai Qi rushing toward them in a hurry.

Holy crap, is his mouth blessed? Whatever he shouts, it comes true?

I'll do it again, and I'll become the strongest!
