Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 252 Team Battle Begins

The thought of Gamma being able to withstand a barrage of attacks and fight his way through hordes of ferocious beasts filled Bai Qi with excitement.

"Although I didn't manage to directly absorb the Angel Wings and obtain a mythical bloodline, the gains are still acceptable."

Bai Qi looked at Gamma's new skill and grinned.

[Skill Name]: Light Burst

[Skill Level]: Advanced

[Skill Introduction]: Gathers the power of holy light to trigger an explosion, which can cause a strong holy light attribute impact on surrounding enemies.

Although it wasn't the Judgment Angel's super skill, White Thunder, Bai Qi was still quite satisfied.

After all, this is Gamma's first active attack skill.

"Once this competition ends and I've exchanged for the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and the Gemini Core, perhaps I can absorb this Holy Light Lightning."

Bai Qi silently guessed, but suddenly his expression changed.

"Oh no, I forgot there was a second round!"

Although Gamma hatched ahead of schedule, it still took him four hours. Adding the time they wasted dawdling here, nearly five hours have passed since he left the arena.

He was in the second group. Even if the next three groups were slow, they wouldn't play for more than five hours. If he missed the second team match, even if Zhao Futu didn't beat him to death, he would probably regret it to death.

Those are two legendary resources...

With this in mind, Bai Qi abandoned his research into Gamma's new skills and left the base directly for the arena.

……

Inside the arena.

The two teams, already prepared, stared silently at the still vacant position at the head of the association's line.

Although an additional assessment was added, it didn't take too long, and the preparation stage for the second team competition began.

However, for some reason, the two leaders seemed to have forgotten about the matter and continued to chat and laugh on stage. As for the referee, Leng Feifei, she did not announce the start of the match because she did not receive any instructions from above.

Of course, anyone with eyes could see that they were waiting for Bai Qi, and they didn't mind waiting a little longer.

After witnessing the formidable strength of Bai Qi's three pets, they were also very interested in Bai Qi's other pets.

However, this was their idea an hour ago...

"That bastard Bai Qi, how long are he going to leave us hanging here?!"

Zhou Yan cursed fiercely, wishing he could rush into Bai Qi's secret realm right now and drag him out.

"Can't you see that neither of the leaders has spoken? Just wait and see."

Lu Qing pushed up her glasses and calmly continued flipping through the book in her hands, while Acha and the others were even more calmly meditating.

"You guys... never mind, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when Bai Qi arrives."

Zhou Yan stretched and actually decided to take a nap right there.

Just then, Bai Qi finally appeared in the arena, and Zhao Futu and Wang Jian, who had been chatting incessantly, stopped in unison, walked to the front of the stands, and announced loudly: "The contestants are all here, let's begin the second team match."

"Ahem, sorry, I suddenly remembered something, so I went back to study it for a while."

Seeing Zhou Yan and the others glaring at him angrily, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile and offered a completely unbelievable explanation. However, after hearing the word "research," Zhou Yan suddenly backed down and stopped pursuing the matter of Bai Qi's lateness.

At headquarters, everyone has now reached a consensus.

That means you cannot question any of Bai Qi's or research-related activities, because you could very well be hindering the creation of a core patent.

The title "Triple-core driver" is a testament to Bai Qi's abilities.

Meanwhile, on the 13th inning, Wang Huai just smiled faintly and didn't care when he saw Bai Qi's appearance. Xia Yan, on the other hand, was full of curiosity and said, "I didn't expect you to be so hardworking, Bai Qi. You even have to study during the break between matches. I feel a little ashamed."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Just messing around, just messing around."

"Heh~"

Xia Yan's lips twitched, clearly disbelieving Bai Qi's words, and Dean had the same expression on his face.

Leaving at this time, perhaps there is some plan involved?

"Ahem, now that both teams are present, let me announce the rules of the team battle."

Leng Feifei walked between the two teams and said, "The team battle is 5 vs 5. The participants are free to play as they please. The battle ends when all the players on one side are rendered unable to fight. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The rules were so simple and straightforward that neither side had any objections. Seeing this, Leng Feifei quietly left the arena.

At the same time, the already spacious arena expanded again, increasing in size by more than ten times, and the two teams that were originally only a step apart were now separated by tens of meters.

"This is to let us go all out and get things done."

Looking at the still expanding space around them, Bai Qixin understood and summoned all four of his pets, while the others only summoned their respective main pets.

Team battles are different from individual battles. No matter how well the teamwork is, there will always be some unexpected events, especially in 5v5 battles.

Therefore, a streamlined battle formation will only produce better combat results.

The same was true for Bureau Thirteen. Apart from Li Xusheng, who was an abnormal being able to fuse four pets at the same time, everyone else only kept their main pet.

"The 13th inning has more experience than us, so we can't afford to make any mistakes."

Xiao Yuan looked at Lu Qing and said, "Lu Qing, you are in charge of command and support. Leave the defense to me. I will also find opportunities to relieve the pressure on you. Zhou Yan, find an opportunity to deal with the opponent's support. A Cha, you are in charge of dealing with that Li Xusheng. His blood manipulation is too restraining to flesh and blood life."

"As for Bai Qi, you are free to do as you please."

As one of Bai Qi's main targets for racking up points, Xiao Yuan was well aware of the abnormality of Bai Qi's four pet beasts, so he did not impose any restrictions on Bai Qi.

Bai Qi readily agreed to this.

Although the association had trained them a lot in teamwork, and Bai Qi was not incapable of cooperating with others, he had a mischievous streak and would often try new tricks, making it difficult for him to stay in one place.

Therefore, instead of trying to restrain Bai Qi, Xiao Yuan should let Bai Qi have free rein, which might produce unexpected results.

After all, judging from their lineup, they are actually at a disadvantage.

Li Xusheng, Dean, and Iris—one a dual-talented being with a legendary biological bloodline, two mythical beast tamers, plus the inhumanly wealthy mechanic Xia Yan—on the surface, their side seems to lack top-tier combat power.

Soon, the arena stopped changing, and Leng Feifei's voice came from above.

"5v5 team battle, begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several beams of light of different colors suddenly shone from Lu Qing's skillful body, quickly landing on their respective pets, instantly improving their condition.

As a support mecha from the French Empire era, the Machine Girl can effectively enhance the basic attributes of allies, such as strength and speed, and also possesses certain healing abilities. This is why Xiao Yuan assigned Lu Qing to be in charge of support.

However, Wang Huai on the other side was obviously faster. Before Lu Qing could make a move, he had already had his Barrier Treant cast a Vitality Aura on the friendly pet. Li Xusheng, who was on the same team as Wang Huai, launched an attack the moment Wang Huai made his move.

"Acha, stop Li Xusheng. Zhou Yan, take this opportunity to flank him from behind."

Seeing how quickly Li Xusheng moved, Lu Qing immediately issued a command, and Bai Qiucha directly entered bone armor mode, facing Li Xusheng head-on.

One was a freak who had fused with four pet beasts, and the other was a prodigy who carried an emperor-level creature. The two fought to a draw in their first head-on confrontation.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan, who had merged with the general's soul, skillfully avoided the two's fighting range and headed straight for Wang Huai.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, countless shells rained down from the sky, precisely blocking Zhou Yan's path. Before Zhou Yan could dodge, several red dots pierced through the smoke and locked onto him.

As the captain of the second special operations team, Xia Yan was naturally very skilled in tactics. He anticipated Zhou Yan's movements early on and set up his sniper rifle the moment he blocked Zhou Yan's movement, intending to take him down in one fell swoop.

These guys are really good at teamwork!

Seeing their attack easily halted, Bai Qi's expression turned serious. Shu Ke immediately understood, and the turrets instantly deployed, unleashing a barrage of artillery fire at Xia Yan's Po Jun.

Energy attacks in the mechanical system are already extremely fast, and the turrets that Shuke deployed were covered with runes, making them even faster. They actually arrived in front of Po Jun first, even though they were delayed.

Seeing this, Xia Yan had no choice but to temporarily abandon his plan to snipe Zhou Yan and instead dodge Shu Ke's attacks.

But Shuke was clearly not giving up. Seeing Xia Yan back down, he deployed several more cannons, but this time he used real cannonballs instead.

These cannonballs were noticeably slower, but under the cover of the Thunderflame Cannon, they still managed to reach the vicinity of Po Jun. However, they did not hit the target directly. Instead, they suddenly unfolded in the air, transforming into large metal nets that covered Xia Yan below.

"Electromagnetic network?"

Xia Yan recognized the origin of these metal nets at a glance, immediately switched to Tyrannosaurus Rex form, and swung his claws to try to tear the electromagnetic nets apart.

Just then, runes suddenly lit up on the metal nets, and the speed of its descent increased dramatically. The Tyrannosaurus Rex only had time to cut through one side of the metal net before it was covered by layers upon layers of netting.

"The combination of rune machines is indeed excellent."

Seeing that Shuke's sneak attack was successful, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. However, Xia Yan was clearly not someone to be trifled with. The moment he was trapped by the metal net, he switched forms again, and his scales all over his body flipped over, turning into a cutting machine that directly shredded the metal net into powder.

But it was precisely because of this delay that Zhou Yan had successfully arrived in front of Wang Huai. His spear, engulfed in raging flames, shot straight at the Barrier Tree Man like an eruption of lava!
