Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 327 Slay the ferocious beasts and steal their skills!

Bai Family Villa.

"thunder!!!"

A Thunder Rat, its entire body encased in yellow armor, was excitedly unleashing boundless energy in the courtyard, leaving charred marks from lightning everywhere. And the Thunder Rat's sparring partner was none other than Bai Qiucha's Bone Dragon.

"Armed Evolution, I'm really curious sometimes, Bai Qi, what exactly is your brain made of? How can you do so many things at once without missing a single one?"

Bai Qiucha looked down at the Thunder Rat and Bone Dragon having a great time and couldn't help but sigh.

If the Thunder Rat was originally just a pet to him, now it is a beast with considerable strength.

At least, Bai Qiucha could no longer withstand the lightning strikes from the Thunder Rat.

"I already said, I just assembled other people's research. It's not all my work. Besides, when it comes to achievements, you're the one who's going a bit too far."

Bai Qi pursed his lips and said, "The youngest fifth-tier beast tamer in the history of the Federation, Bai Qiucha~"

"If others knew how fast someone was leveling up, they probably wouldn't notice me."

Bai Qiucha smiled wryly. Perhaps he really was the youngest fifth-tier beast tamer in the history of the Federation, but compared to a freak like Bai Qi who could reach the fifth tier in just a few months, he was nothing at all.

"By the way, did the teacher say when they'd be back?"

Bai Qi stretched. Professor Chu had given him the knowledge of Endless Materials Science a couple of days ago, and he had been working with Shu Ke on the new mechanical materials these past few days. He really hadn't had a good rest.

"It should be soon. I got a call from my dad this morning saying he'll be here by noon, so it should be around that time."

Bai Qiucha said, "By the way, I heard from Brother Luo that you've cultivated a second monarch-level creature? When are we going to have a battle?"

"Um, let's wait a while. The impact of a battle between fifth-tier monarch-level creatures is too great. I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death by President Qin."

As a former emperor-level creature, the Bone Dragon's improvement became increasingly excessive as Bai Qiucha's level increased. Almost at the same time that Bai Qiucha reached the fifth rank, the Bone Dragon's dual levels reached the current maximum.

This privilege of recalling the main password is something only Acha can enjoy throughout the entire Federation.

Bai Qi estimated that even Alpha would have to use its full strength to fight such a creature. If it managed to dismantle the Gusu City Association, Chairman Qin would not let it off easily.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's explanation, Bai Qiucha was somewhat puzzled, but she didn't press the matter. However, her eyes lit up when she saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching in the sky outside the window.

"Dad's home!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Netherworld Sparrow landed in the courtyard carrying Bai Heguang. The Thunder Rat, which had been playing happily, immediately hid inside the Bone Dragon's body after sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Nine Netherworld Sparrow. It cautiously observed the person and the sparrow through the gaps between the bones.

"Dad." "Teacher."

Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi arrived in the courtyard one after the other and greeted Bai Heguang.

"Um."

Bai Heguang nodded, glanced at the bone dragon beside him, and said, "Already at the fifth rank? Not bad, but a spirit master's talent cannot be forgotten. Otherwise, even if you reach the legendary level, relying on a single pet beast will not be enough."

"I see."

Bai Qiucha nodded, clearly used to Bai Heguang's style of giving pointers upon meeting, while Bai Qi silently expressed his sympathy.

No wonder he became the youngest fifth-tier beast tamer; the family atmosphere here is too brutal.

"And Bai Qi, how's your beast tamer training going lately?"

But before Bai Qi could enjoy his moment for long, Bai Heguang turned his attention to him.

"Uh, I didn't miss any."

Seeing Bai Heguang's scrutinizing gaze, Bai Qi very consciously summoned all five of his pets.

Gamma and Delta haven't changed much, but Alpha, who has mastered another extraordinary skill, and Husky, who has gradually absorbed the legacy of the Underworld Guardian, are noticeably different.

However, the most eye-catching one has to be cordyceps.

The moment the cordyceps appeared, the surrounding environment warmed up instantly. Reflected by the midday sun, the cordyceps seemed to become a miniature sun, constantly radiating warm light, and the two colorful tentacles on its head added even more color to this light.

Passive Extraordinary Skill: Sun Wheel.

As a bloodline skill of the Sun Wheel Beetle, unless Cordyceps actively suppresses it, the Sun Wheel Beetle will automatically take effect after being exposed to sunlight, with sunny days being one of its most basic effects.

"Is this the pet you mentioned that absorbed the shell of the Sunwheel Beetle?"

Bai Heguang glanced at the cordyceps and said, "A mythical creature, it's worth cultivating properly."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded. The advantages of mythical creatures are well known. In other words, his pets are all extraordinary. If it were someone else, they would probably raise Cordyceps as their main pet.

"I'll be staying in Gusu City for the next month on vacation, which will give me a chance to keep an eye on your training."

Bai Heguang took out a task board and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "This list shows the most active ferocious beasts in Gusu City and several surrounding cities recently. You need to eliminate them one by one in the order I've set. If you finish ahead of schedule, come back to me to collect the remaining tasks."

"Okay, I'll pack up and leave."

Bai Qi took the task board and was about to leave when Bai Heguang waved to him to wait.

"Your pet Alpha will stay with me for a while. Jiuyou will give him special training, and I will return him to you before I leave."

"Should we keep Alpha?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. He remembered that Bai Heguang had indeed said that he wanted to cultivate Alpha's control over the power of death. After hesitating for a while, he nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

Although Alpha missed a month of Evolution Egg, its base stats might lag behind, but if it can master the power of death, it won't be a complete loss.

"Um."

Bai Heguang nodded and said, "You don't need to rush off. Most of these ferocious beasts are located far from cities, and the environments are quite complex, so you'd better thoroughly understand the information before you set off."

"Thank you for reminding me, teacher. I will pay attention."

Bai Heguang gave Bai Qi a few more instructions before turning back into the house. Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged a glance but did not disturb them further.

Although Bai Heguang hid it well, Bai Qi and the other person still noticed that Bai Heguang was tired, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to rest for a month so much this time.

"Then I'll head back now and come back another day."

Bai Qi gave Alpha a few instructions, then greeted Bai Qiucha before quickly leaving.

He had been feeling restless these past few days and wanted to get some exercise, and just when he was feeling sleepy, someone delivered a perfect opportunity. The ferocious beasts that Bai and Guang had chosen were definitely not weak, and the materials that could be extracted from them must be of a high grade.

"Finally, we can revamp the skill set again!"

Bai Qi was eager to try and quickly flipped through the data on the task board.

Slay ferocious beasts and steal their skills!

……

The countryside of Langya City.

Bai Qi lay comfortably on the recliner, enjoying the skewers Gamma offered him while checking on the current condition of his four pets. Beside him, Gamma was skillfully extracting useful resources from a Lord-level Faceless Spider.

"Shuke, how many ferocious beasts have you finished off so far?"

"Eleven Lord-level Beasts have been completed, nine more are needed; five King-level Beasts are needed."

Shuke quickly reported the current progress and casually dropped a map into the air, saying, "Next target: King-level ferocious beast, Wild Ghost Frog King, living area, Black Nightmare Swamp, fifty-seven kilometers from here."

"Finally, we've reached the monarch-level creatures?"

Bai Qi immediately perked up. The route Bai Heguang had arranged for him not only took into account the increasing difficulty but also the distance. So Bai Qi didn't bother to think too much about taking detours and basically just kept moving forward.

But perhaps Bai and Guang considered that Bai Qi's main pet Alpha was not present, and that they had encountered lord-level creatures before, and that they had already gone through more than half of the journey before the first monarch appeared.

"Come on, let me see what attributes it has. Maybe it can drop some pretty good skills."

Although Bai Qi found decent materials from the previous eleven lords, apart from a few that were used to upgrade the skills of the cordyceps, none of the skills he found were to his liking. Therefore, Bai Qi planned to go back and exchange them for some materials that only enhanced the basic attributes.

Pets have limited energy. Even with the help of the Cordyceps Dream to improve skill proficiency, Bai Qi still doesn't like to waste his energy on skills with mediocre effects.

In the past, being a gambler was one thing, but now with the skill encyclopedia and material encyclopedia for targeted development, one naturally has to have some ambition.

[Name]: Wild Frog King

[Attribute]: Psychic

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking monarch

[Introduction]: It likes to live in cold, swampy areas, and its body is surrounded by the spirits of the dead. Legend has it that these are the souls of the prey it killed.

……

"Hmm, the ability leans towards the undead? Then this is a sure thing."

Looking at the introduction of the Wild Frog King, Bai Qi grinned. As a low-level king, Jerry's suppression of the dead was excessive. Even if the combat power of wild beasts was higher than that of ordinary pets, it would only take a little more effort.

"Men, pack your things and get ready to go."

Bai Qi finished the last skewer of grilled meat in his hand, pointed ahead, and said, "Target: Black Nightmare Swamp!"

"Chief, may I request permission to return to the Beast Taming Space to rest for a while?"

Cordyceps shook its seven-colored tentacles somewhat timidly and said, "I am really tired after fighting eleven lord-level ferocious beasts in a row."

"tired?"

Bai Qi glanced at the sun high overhead and twitched his lips.

They can't even come up with a better excuse for lying. With the sun wheel around, the cordyceps' daytime endurance is in no way weaker than gamma's.

Seeing Bai Qi's suspicious look, Cordyceps finally told the truth.

"Actually, I had some entanglement with this Desolate Demon Frog King in the past..."

"to be honest."

"My body, that of the Soul-Devouring Insect, was almost eaten by the Wild Ghost Frog King."

"Tsk... What a coincidence. Congratulations, your chance for revenge has arrived."
