Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 290 The Footwork That Descended from the Sky!

Looking at the pet beast below the arena, which had been moderately burned, President Qin nodded slightly and said, "The attack power and explosive force of the fire attribute mutation are indeed not something that ordinary pet beasts can contend with. What a pity."

Although not as rare as mythical species, mutated species are still a rare find for most people. It was indeed Tang Qi's luck to get a mutated species, but if Tang Qi were a beast tamer instead of a spirit tamer, his future achievements might be even greater.

"There's nothing that can be done about individual talent limitations, and besides, Tang Qi has trained this Fireclaw Sparrow quite well."

Luo Xiang smiled and said, "Anyway, a Spirit Master's pet beasts aren't immune to improvement, and they might not necessarily become weaker in the future."

President Qin nodded. As long as Tang Qi can maintain a good relationship with Fireclaw Sparrow, even if Fireclaw Sparrow levels up in the future, it will theoretically still be able to obey Tang Qi's orders.

"However, the tacit understanding between Zhuge Chen and the Arctic Ice Wolf is obviously much stronger than that of Tang Qi's group. This kind of bond cannot be built up over time. Chairman Zhuge has raised a good son."

Yi Yu smiled and praised Zhuge Chen highly. Zhuge Xu was clearly pleased as well, but he still said modestly, "Minister Yi, you flatter me. This kid won by using the Frost Armor. He can't be compared to me."

"Frost Armor is already a legal enhancement method recognized by the Federation and is also part of our strength. If we can't even use it, the Mechanical Department won't be able to participate in any competitions."

"Haha...that's true."

Zhuge Xu burst into laughter, while President Qin, upon hearing about the Frost Armor, suddenly realized something, his face darkening as he said, "That Bai Qi is going to be late again. I shouldn't have given him that secret realm."

Luo Xiang shrugged and said, "It's alright. If all else fails, we can use Minister Yi's holographic projection. The effect is the same anyway."

"That's all we can do."

President Qin sighed, stepped onto the stage, looked at the bustling crowd below, instantly composed himself, and announced loudly, "Young Spirit Masters, the final battle of this Spirit Master Tournament is about to begin. Let's welcome our two contestants to the stage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted both inside and outside the arena. Even the Spirit Masters who had been eliminated earlier were excited.

Although it's a bit of a shame to lose the match, the stronger the Spirit Masters of the same generation are, the more promising the future of the Spirit Master profession is, right?

The armor Garuru was wearing, in particular, sparked the imaginations of these spirit masters.

Mutants are rare and hard to come by, but Garurumon's armor is clearly a mechanical creation, so perhaps it could be made more widespread?

If they can defeat the mutants, wouldn't that mean that the future combat power of the Spirit Masters might not be weak?

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi took the stage one after the other.

"Zhuge Chen, Arctic Ice Wolf, Low-level Elite."

"Tang Qi, Fire Fist Bird, low-level elite."

……

Name: Fire Punch

[Attribute]: Fire (Mutated)

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite

[Introduction]: The evolved form of Fireclaw Finch, it possesses both Fighting and Fire-type moves, giving it extremely strong combat capabilities.

……

The two introduced their pets to each other. As evolved forms of the three starter Pokémon in Kosuke City, their pets attracted the attention of most people.

After all, most of them are probably following the same path as these two, so they naturally want to see where their limits are.

Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi were still quite polite to each other, but the two pet beasts, one ice and one fire, hadn't even started fighting yet, but they were already showing signs of a head-to-head confrontation.

"Both contestants are ready. Therefore, I declare the competition open!"

President Qin glanced one last time at the cloudless sky above and then announced the start of the competition.

Upon hearing President Qin's order, the two pet beasts immediately entered battle mode, but before they could even make a move, a huge shadow suddenly appeared above the arena. Before the two could react, a figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in the center of the arena.

"That's... Bai Qi!"

Soon, someone in the audience recognized the uninvited guest as Bai Qi, the inventor of the Spirit Ball and a perennial headline-maker in the Federation.

"As expected of a big shot, even his entrance was so cool!"

"I knew it! Why didn't the big shots come to the first Spirit Master Battle? Turns out they were planning to give us a surprise in the final battle. I've got it now."

"How did the master manage to jump from such a height and be unharmed? Are beast tamers really that physically strong?"

"Who is this big shot? He's the genius who created the Spirit Master profession. How can an ordinary Beast Master compare to him?"

"That makes sense. I was stupid."

……

Bai Qi's appearance caused a huge uproar, and the Spirit Masters were also excited, but President Qin's eyes twitched, and he was completely speechless.

When did this guy start liking to show off so much?

"Young people these days really know how to have fun."

Luo Xiang glanced at the green object at Bai Qi's feet and smiled knowingly, while Yi Yu wore the same smile.

"Hey Delta, didn't I tell you to teleport me directly to the ground? Why did you just drop me down here?"

Bai Qi let out a breath of relief, still feeling a bit scared. Although with his physique as a fourth-level beast tamer, he wouldn't necessarily get injured from falling from that height, and there was also gamma cushioning, he still felt a little uneasy.

Bubbling.

(I apologize, Master. The space here seems to have been affected. Delta didn't have time to echo through the void.)

Delta transformed back into the Primordial Beast and landed beside Bai Qi, her face full of remorse.

"Has the space been affected?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, then glanced at the top of his head.

If it can influence space, then only a net can.

"Knowing the reason makes everything alright, but it seems we should do less of this kind of pretentious thing in the future, or we'll get ourselves killed sooner or later."

Bai Qi reluctantly put away Delta and Gamma, only to see Zhuge Chen and Tang Qi staring at him in disbelief.

"Even though you're the referee for the final battle, Bai Qi, isn't your entrance a little too flashy?"

Zhuge Chen looked speechlessly at the Spirit Masters around him who had completely transformed into die-hard fans of Bai Qi, and couldn't help but complain, "How come I didn't know you had this strange attribute?"

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "Would you believe me if I said it was an accident?"

Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes, but before he could speak, President Qin interrupted him, saying, "Alright, now that you're here, the final battle is yours."

"Okay."

Upon hearing President Qin's words, Bai Qi, who was already feeling a little guilty for being late, immediately nodded obediently. He then walked to the referee's seat and said seriously, "So, both of you contestants, are you ready?"

"alright."

"Um."

Bai Qi nodded, then slammed his right hand down, declaring, "Then I hereby announce that the final battle of the first Federation Spirit Master Tournament has officially begun!"

This time, the two pets, who had already been eager for battle, could no longer hold back and launched an attack on their opponent.

Garurumon was the first to attack, but this time Garurumon did not choose melee combat. Instead, it used the signature move of the Arctic Wolf, Frostbolt.

Fire Punch is clearly very good at close combat. Its opponent was caught off guard by Fire Punch's frenzied close-range fire attacks, so Garurumin has no intention of engaging it in close combat.

However, it was clear that as soon as Garurumon's Frost Arrow reached Fire Punch, it was precisely knocked down by Fire Punch's punch, without causing it any damage whatsoever.

"This flame looks somewhat similar to the power of explosive flames."

Seeing Fire Punch Bird's performance, Bai Qi immediately realized the problem.

In terms of attributes, fire-type attacks can indeed negate Frostbolt, but there aren't many attacks that are as easily countered as Fire Punch.

After all, the two pets are very close in both levels, so it's unlikely that such a significant effect will occur.

"Could this Firefist Bird be a mutant?"

Just as Bai Qi was speculating, Fire Punch Bird had clearly had enough of this defensive counterattack. It quickly charged up its right fist and then threw a punch, which exploded into flames, shattering all of Garurumon's Ice Arrows.

At the same time, flames erupted from beneath Fire Punch's feet. Using the powerful force of the explosion, Fire Punch instantly broke through the distance on the arena, and its fist, enveloped in flames, slammed heavily towards Garurumon like a rocket.

Just now, Song Qiuying's high-level elite pet was also instantly defeated by this move, without even having a chance to demonstrate its strength.

Seeing this, Garuru showed no intention of dodging. After receiving Zhuge Chen's order, countless small openings appeared in the ice armor on its body, and streams of freezing air carrying ice blew out from them, forming an ice storm in front of Garuru!

"Not bad, the activation speed and power are as expected, but the energy consumption is a bit high."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Fire Fist Bird being forcibly stopped by the ice storm.

As required by the Federation, the rune-equipped weapons of Spirit Masters cannot be equipped with offensive weapons that are too destructive. Therefore, Bai Qi made some modifications to Garuru's ice weapons, and the Ice Storm is one of them.

According to Bai Qi's prediction, the effect of this skill should be comparable to that of advanced skills, and it seems that it is quite accurate now.

"That armor again?"

Watching the Firefist Bird continuously swing its fists, trying to break through the ice storm, Tang Qi couldn't help but frown slightly and tighten his grip on the Spirit Ball in his hand. The Firefist Bird on the field also sensed Tang Qi's thoughts and suddenly gave up on breaking through the ice storm. Instead, it flew towards the sky along with the power of the ice storm.

Before anyone could wonder, the Fire Punch, which had reached its highest point, suddenly plummeted downwards, its right foot instantly enveloped in intense flames, and it fell rapidly towards Garurumon like a meteor.

Holy crap, could this be the legendary...footwork that fell from the sky?

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw the Fire Fist Bird charging away.

You're a Firefist Bird, yet you're using leg techniques? Are pets really hiding their true nature these days?
