Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 244 Shuke Evolves into a Monarch-Level Being?

The newly activated spark burned even more fiercely under the light of evolution, even engulfing half of Beta's body.

Awooo!!!

(What the hell is this thing? Can I even run away from it?)

Beta, who was still immersed in meditation, was suddenly awakened by the flames possessing him. Ignoring the evolutionary light flashing on his body, he instinctively wanted to run away.

"Stupid dog, you're evolving, don't move!"

Although somewhat surprised that Beta could still move around during its evolution, Bai Qi didn't have time to settle scores with Beta at the moment. After ordering it not to move around, he waited quietly to the side.

Gara gara?

(Boss, Shuke has evolved?)

Seeing Alpha rush over after hearing the commotion, Bai Qi nodded and said, "Shuke activated the spark, which should have triggered a qualitative change."

Click-clack.

(Will Shuke evolve directly to the King level?)

Gamma looked at the blue flames on the husky with some curiosity, clearly intending to go up and try the taste.

Crackling.

(Probably not, Shuke's life essence hasn't been elevated to the monarch level.)

Alpha's Soul Flame flickered and quickly determined the husky's current condition.

"Alpha, are you sure?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this and asked, "You can already see the essential strength of life?"

Alpha nodded, tacitly agreeing with Bai Qi's statement.

Bubbling.

(But even so, I should become very strong, right? Delta can already feel the pressure Shuke and Beta are exerting on me.)

Delta carefully examined the husky for a few moments and offered his opinion.

As the player who has evolved and degenerated the most times in the team, Delta has basically evolved regardless of level or type, so Delta's opinion is definitely the most authoritative.

You can't directly rise to the rank of King...

After hearing the three pets' evaluation, Bai Qi sighed with some regret.

If they could directly upgrade to the Monarch level, plus Alpha, the two Monarch-level creatures would absolutely dominate the entire field, to the point that Gamma and Delta wouldn't even need to participate.

Finally, under the expectant gazes of the three pets and the husky, the light of evolution on the husky gradually faded, and Bai Qi immediately stepped forward to examine it.

"Huh? Shuke, where's your mechanical head? How come it looks like Beta's now?"

Looking at the two-headed wolf in front of him, which was not much different from an ordinary polar ice wolf, Bai Qi was stunned. He searched carefully for a long time but could not find any metal objects on the husky.

"It's just an additional ability that awakens after the upgrade; it's more like microscopic control over materials."

A flash of blue light appeared in Shuke's eyes, and his head immediately flipped over, instantly returning to its original mechanical form.

"I see. What about the attributes?"

Bai Qi asked curiously, and Shu Ke directly put his head close to Bai Qi, and the information about the husky's evolution was directly transmitted to Bai Qi's mind.

[Name]: War Apostle (Beta)

[Race]: Mechanical type, Wolf type (psychic mutation)

[Growth Level]: Tier 4, Level 1

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Lord

[Racial Skills]: Mechanical Lord (Super - Proficient), Mechanical Heart (Super - Beginner), Mind's Eye (Advanced - Skilled), Demon-Slaying Roar (Advanced - Skilled), Thunderfire Power (Advanced - Proficient), Soul Whisper (Advanced - Proficient), Electric Resistance (Intermediate - Perfect)

[Energy Value]: 1E1130W

[Status]: Can Evolve

The race name remained unchanged, but the bloodline level was directly upgraded to High Lord, and the energy value also skyrocketed to 1E1130W.

It's worth noting that when Alpha was upgraded to the Monarch class, it only cost 1 million, which was already far beyond the average Monarch class. Yet, this time, Husky's evolution has directly exceeded 6840 million.

"As expected, the awakened mechanical spark is no joke."

Bai Qi smiled broadly as he looked at the husky's newly acquired skill once more.

[Skill Name]: Mechanical Heart

[Skill Level]: Super

[Skill Introduction]: This skill can only be mastered after a mechanical creation awakens its fire seed. It can greatly improve the mechanical creation's control, attack power, defense power, and other stats, and will continue to strengthen over time.

Is this a passive skill with continuous growth potential?

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Although it wasn't an active attack skill, it was perfect for the husky's future development.

As time goes by and the strength continues to increase, doesn't that mean that Shuke can gradually become stronger even without training? Is there any skill more suitable for Shuke, who is more inclined to study mechanical creations?

"Congratulations, Shuke. Now you can focus on your research."

Bai Qi patted Shuke's head, and Shuke showed a rare expression of enjoyment, clearly in a very good mood.

Although he was born from the separation of Beta's rationality and became incredibly rational under the influence of the AI, some instincts still remained.

Awooo...

(This super skill doesn't belong to me...)

Unlike Shuke, who was in a cheerful mood, Beta looked at Bai Qi with a resentful expression.

The Mechanical Heart only strengthens the mechanical half; it has nothing to do with the mechanical part.

"Ahem, I've already asked the Thirteenth Bureau for a copy of the Psychic-type Legendary resource. Whether you can get it or not depends on your performance."

Wang Wang!

(Psychic-related resources?)

Beta's ears perked up immediately, and his expression became more resolute than ever before.

He's determined to get his hands on this material; he says even Buddha can't take it from him!

"That's right, that's the kind of spirit we need."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking at the four pets in front of him, and said, "You all understand the importance of tomorrow's battle. Whether you can get first place in the actual combat depends on you."

Crackling!

(Don't worry, boss, Alpha will definitely not lose!)

Awooo...

(For the sake of my mental resources, I've decided to fight them to the death.)

"According to my calculations, unless there are new participants in round 13, your probability of winning, Beastmaster, is 91.8 percent."

Click-clack.

(Gamma will do its best too.)

Bubbling.

(Delta too.)

Looking at the four confident pets, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, let's work on tomorrow's tactics. These old foxes still won't tell us the specific format of the competition, so we need to prepare early."

……

With everyone's expectant gaze, the second day of the competition finally arrived.

Besides the two big shots, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian, the other five tower masters of the association, a group of instructors, the legendary accompanying members of the Thirteenth Bureau, and ministers such as Yi Yu also took their seats. Below them was a group of young beast tamers full of fighting spirit.

Both sides' beast tamers had been preparing for this competition for a long time, and now it was time to test the results of their efforts.

Finally, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian appeared together, walked to the center of the arena, exchanged a few polite words, and Zhao Futu, as the host, stepped forward and said: "In order not to dampen the fighting spirit of all the contestants, this assessment will begin with a practical battle."

Upon hearing Zhao Futu's words, many of the beast tamers nodded in agreement.

While theory is very important, the most important criterion for judging whether a beast tamer is powerful is still actual combat.

After all, in battles against ferocious beasts, theory alone is far from sufficient.

Zhao Futu raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and continued: "The actual combat is divided into two rounds. The first round is a challenge match. You will be randomly divided into four large groups, with twelve people from the Association and the Thirteenth Bureau. Each side will send someone to the stage one by one. The winner can stay on the stage and wait for the next person to challenge, while the loser cannot challenge again. The match ends when the last person on one side is defeated."

"After the first round, we will select the top five players from each side with the most wins to enter the second round of team battles. As for the specific rules of the team battles, I don't think I need to go into detail."

At this point, Zhao Futu paused and said, "Those who want to get the top three rewards, or those who want to rack up points, will need to work hard."

"Standing up in the ring?"

Bai Qi was slightly taken aback after hearing Zhao Futu's words.

It would be one thing to simply stand in the ring, but with nearly a hundred people on both sides, randomly dividing them into four groups seems a bit too random.

If you're unlucky, you might get assigned to the death group, which is full of fourth-tier beast tamers.

"Forget it, let's just fight."

Since it involved luck, Bai Qi didn't bother to think about it too much and silently waited for the allocation results.

After explaining the rules, Zhao Futu returned to his seat and replaced Wang Jian. Wang Jian was well aware of everyone's thoughts and, without saying a word, pressed the button for random sorting in front of him.

After a dazzling array of sorting, the list of four groups of contestants appeared on the screen, and everyone immediately began to look for their own name.

"Damn it, I'm in a group with Bai Qi, I feel like I can just relax now."

Bai Yuxiao was the first to find her name, but she immediately deflated when she saw Bai Qi following closely behind.

According to the usual practice of standing in the arena, the longer you stand there, the more points you get, and the points of the loser will be inherited by the winner.

He's currently in a group with Bai Qi. If he joins early, he'll only be doing Bai Qi a favor. If he joins late, he can't beat Bai Qi. No matter how you look at it, there's no hope.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Xiao Yuan and the others patted Bai Yuxiao on the shoulder sympathetically, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

The rankings for two departments are separate, but those within the same department are grouped together.

If you want to get into the top five, it's best to avoid Bai Qi or other players of similar strength, otherwise the chances of advancing are very low.

Fortunately, apart from Zhou Yan and Lu Qing being assigned to the same group, the other fourth-tier students were scattered.

As for those who were grouped with Bai Qi, well, they can only hope for the best.

After all, with five people selected from each side, the quota is basically set if nothing unexpected happens.

The association was full of complaints, and the same was true for the 13th Bureau.

"I've been grouped with Xusheng. Should I just give up now?"

Looking at Li Xusheng, who was grouped with her, Tang Miao suddenly felt a little hopeless. Wang Huai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it's the same. As long as you show your strength and get on the field early, you still have a chance to advance to the next round."

Hearing Wang Huai's words, Tang Miao's mood improved. Before she could speak, a tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman walked up and launched into a tirade of mockery.

"Only those who lack confidence in their own abilities worry about not being able to advance to the next round."

"In this grand competition, I, Lilith Borg, will teach you what true beast taming is!"
