Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 268 The younger brother's game is so hard to play!

"Uh, Lu Yuan? What are you doing here?"

Looking at Lu Yuan's resentful expression, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Why can't it be me?"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "I'm a freshman in the Necromancer Department this year. It's normal for me to come to the dojo for extra practice in my spare time, right?"

"Um, there's no problem."

Bai Qi smacked his lips. A new professional beast tamer—the quality of students in this necromancy department is quite high.

However, being called "teacher" by fellow professional test takers still feels a bit...

cool!

Bai Qi grinned and said, "Since my opponent is you, Lu Yuan, I can hold back a little. Shall we begin now?"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Lu Yuan frowned slightly, clearly displeased, but he held back. Duan Meng also cleared the arena in time, allowing the two to fight to their hearts' content.

Looking at Bai Qi's relaxed expression, Lu Yuan immediately recalled the days and nights he had spent foolishly guarding Bai Qi's door. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and a massive talisman array appeared before him.

"Thanks to your rune evolution, my Ghost Bone Giant Tiger has evolved into a low-level lord, the Dark Flame Tiger King. Even against your Withering Dragon Lord, I can now put up a fight!"

Looking at the Dark Flame Tiger King slowly rising from the rune array, Lu Yuan's face was full of pride.

For a series of reasons, the Necromancer Department of Star Machine Academy recruits students of very high quality, and it can be said that it gathers young talents from all over the Federation.

However, as a professional beast tamer, and a local beast tamer at that, Lu Yuan still enjoyed a lot of benefits. Whether it was rune evolution or second-stage evolution, he was among the first to try it.

Although somewhat experimental, his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger did indeed receive a significant boost.

A low-ranking lord, he is definitely an outstanding figure among his peers.

"Hmm, has the second stage of rune evolution already become common on lord-level creatures?"

Looking at the faintly visible runes on the Dark Flame Tiger King's body, Bai Qi nodded slightly. The research speed of the special task force was even faster than he had expected; it had only been a short time and they had already begun to popularize it.

My little money is going to increase again...

Thinking about his increasingly full wallet, Bai Qi was in a great mood and then summoned Alpha.

The moment Alpha appeared, the Dark Flame Tiger King, who had been standing tall and exuding the majesty of a tiger king, suddenly felt a suppression from its bloodline, and its body involuntarily shrank back.

"Dark Flame Tiger King, what are you doing!"

Seeing his tiger king instantly turn into a house cat, Lu Yuan was immediately annoyed and wanted to urge the Dark Flame Tiger King to perk up, but no matter how much Lu Yuan urged it, the Dark Flame Tiger King never dared to come forward.

Crackling.

(Boss, are we going to fight this tiger??)

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi glanced at the trembling Dark Flame Tiger King and said, "That's true, but you'd better tone down your aura, or you won't be able to fight."

The King level marks the beginning of a pet's formal transformation. Even a slight, unintentional leak of its aura can exert absolute suppression over other pets of the same type.

Crackling.

(OK.)

Upon hearing this, Alpha nodded and immediately withdrew his aura, suppressing his power as well. Even so, the Dark Flame Tiger, already traumatized, still dared not attack Alpha.

Seeing this, Duan Meng finally couldn't help but speak up, saying, "How about this, Bai Qi, you send out your weakest pet and then give it some guidance."

The weakest?

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and the scene of the four pets destroying the house flashed through his mind. He sighed helplessly.

Even the weakest of these isn't suitable for this game; it's definitely much harder to play in lower-level matches than higher-level ones.

"Well then, since it's for teaching purposes anyway, Lu Yuan, you don't mind taking on multiple opponents, do you?"

"One against many?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. One Alpha had already completely extinguished the Dark Flame Tiger King's fighting spirit. If a few more came, how could he possibly fight them?

"That's right, they are all products of our previous research on rune evolution. Although their dual levels are a bit low, they should be enough for demonstration purposes."

Bai Qi nodded, glanced at Alpha, and Alpha immediately understood, summoning the Six Sword Attendants.

"Hmm? Was that feeling just now a summoning?"

Lu Yuan stared dumbfounded at the six sword servants of different colors on the field and asked a question that he himself thought was very stupid.

"Bai Qi, you've reached level seven?"

As everyone knows, only a seventh-tier legendary beast tamer can form a contract with a seven-headed beast.

"You're overthinking it. It's just something that's usually kept in the secret realm, and it's being released now."

Bai Heguang had specifically instructed that the matter of the pet contract pet should not be made public, so Bai Qi naturally wouldn't tell the truth.

"I see, is it a wild pet?"

Lu Yuan understood immediately upon hearing this. Looking at the six sword servants he had never heard of before, he said, "Shall we begin?"

"Let's begin."

Bai Qi nodded, conveyed a series of instructions to the Six Swordsmen through Alpha, and then stepped aside.

"Dark Flame Tiger King, show some spirit! We can't afford to lose face again!"

Roar!

The Dark Flame Tiger King roared, and the momentum that had been suppressed by Alpha returned. The powerful aura of the lord-level creature swept over the six sword servants.

They're just some high-level elites; in the face of deterrence skills, they're already quite strong if they can even move.

To the Dark Flame Tiger King's surprise, after a brief tremor, the Six Sword Attendants fell silent and instead assumed a fighting stance, their longswords firmly locked onto the Dark Flame Tiger King.

"I knew it, none of Bai Qi's pets are normal."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly, then abandoned his plan to suppress with intimidation and said, "Let's just launch a direct attack."

The Dark Flame Tiger King nodded, opened its mouth, and spat out a stream of dark flames that rushed straight towards the Six Sword Attendants.

Before the flames could even get close, the Water Armor Swordsman swung his longsword, and a stream of icy water descended from the sky, blocking the dark flames. However, it only blocked them for a moment before the water was scorched into steam by the dark flames.

Attribute advantages are relative; in the face of an absolute level difference, water cannot extinguish fire.

However, the Six Sword Servants did not seem to intend to block the Dark Flame with this alone. The moment the Water Armor Sword Servant made his move, the Earth Armor Sword Servant also made his move. An earthen wall slowly rose up, separating the Six Sword Servants from the Dark Flame.

At the same time, the golden-armored swordsman wielded its greatsword, leaped over the earthen wall, and charged toward the Dark Flame Tiger King.

Seeing the powerful greatsword in the hands of the Golden Armored Swordsman, the Dark Flame Tiger King temporarily abandoned ranged attacks and switched to close combat with the Golden Armored Swordsman.

boom!

The Tiger King's giant claws landed on the metal greatsword, and the ear-piercing metallic sound immediately echoed throughout the arena. However, the many undead creatures on the stage were not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, the audience below the stage was a bit overwhelmed.

"Wasn't that skeleton covered in metal only a high-level elite? How did it withstand Lu Yuan's Dark Flame Tiger King?"

"It seems the Dark Flame Tiger King isn't serious yet; the stat difference between a lord and an elite is quite significant."

As the golden-armored swordsman confronted the Dark Flame Tiger King, the students below the stage discussed among themselves, and Lu Yuan listened to everything without missing a word.

"Dark Flame Tiger King, stop playing around!"

It's one thing to be unable to defeat a monarch-level creature, but now he can't even defeat a high-level elite. If he doesn't go, he might as well quit.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's command, the Dark Flame Tiger King finally took it seriously. Its claws were instantly enveloped in dark flames, and when it swung them, bursts of air explosions were heard. The golden-armored swordsman was sent flying the moment he was hit.

Before Lu Yuan could even rejoice, the Water Armor and Fire Armor Sword Servants rushed forward and launched a counterattack against the Dark Flame Giant Tiger from two directions, while the Gold Armor Sword Servants, with the help of the Wood Armor Sword Servants, deflected the powerful impact and rejoined the battle.

The golden-armored swordsmen launched a strong attack, while the water- and fire-armored swordsmen provided support. The earth-armored and wood-armored swordsmen focused on assisting from the sidelines, either helping with defense or interfering with the attack. The five high-level elites actually managed to fight the Dark Flame Giant Tiger to a standstill.

"Necromantic magic? You can do that?"

The students below the arena were stunned to see that the five different types of pets could coordinate such a move. Duan Meng seemed to have noticed something and unconsciously glanced at Alpha a few times.

"Are these guys really high-level elites?"

As a professional beast tamer, Lu Yuan wouldn't dare say he knows all the pets perfectly, but he is very clear about the undead type.

Normally, after fighting a low-level lord for so long, its energy should be completely depleted. How could it still be so energetic?

He's cheating, he's definitely cheating!

"Alpha, are you sure you didn't help?"

Looking at the somewhat absurd scene before him, Bai Qi couldn't help but quietly ask Alpha, who looked completely innocent.

Gara gara?

(Does sharing spirit and energy count as helping?)

Nonsense, how could the spirit and energy of a monarch-level being be the same as that of an elite-level being!

Bai Qi rolled his eyes, then looked at Lu Yuan with some sympathy.

Hopefully, Lu Yuan won't be traumatized by this beating. Maybe we should explain to him later that your Tiger King didn't just beat up six high-level elites, but rather six accessories of a monarch-level creature.

"Alpha, stop sharing with the Six Swordsmen, or it will mislead others."

Bai Qi glanced at the students around him who were staring intently at the Six Sword Servants, and immediately gave Alpha an order. But before Alpha could respond, the Dark Armor Sword Servant, who had disappeared since the start of the battle, suddenly emerged from the shadows beneath the Dark Flame Tiger King's feet, his jet-black longsword piercing straight into the Tiger King's soul fire.

As an assassin, killing with a single blow is the basic principle.

"Damn, I knew one of them was missing! Turns out it was hiding!"

"Wow, that's awesome! I've decided, I'll go with this configuration from now on."

"Tch, don't even think about it. Didn't you hear the big boss say this is his experimental product? It's definitely not available outside of the industry."

"What should we do then? Should we discuss it with the big boss?"

"No need to rush, it should be released later, just wait..."

Hearing the discussion among the group, Bai Qi's face fell.

It seems it's already too late...
