Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 338 Moon Worship Wood Spirit

"Should we have Bai Qi fight in the gym battle?"

Duan Meng was taken aback upon hearing this, but before he could speak, Wen Ruoshui's eyes lit up and she said, "This is a good idea. After all, Bai Qi has made a great contribution to the rapid development of Wuhou Dojo, so it's not a problem for him to represent Wuhou Dojo."

Upon hearing Wen Ruoshui's words, Duan Meng did not refute for the first time. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "No problem. Anyway, Bai Qi was already on the list of instructors at Wuhou Dojo, so no one can find fault with him."

"That's good."

Hearing Duan Meng agree, Zhuge Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "Bai Qi, the battle for the fifth-tier beast tamer depends on you."

"I'll do my best, but don't blame me if I lose."

Bai Qi shrugged. He had only been promoted to the fifth rank for a short time, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible among his peers. He was not confident that he could win against those veteran fifth-rank beast tamers.

"By the way, let's invite Acha along too. She's a necromancer beast tamer, after all. It's not too much to ask, is it?"

"no."

Duan Meng shook his head without hesitation and said, "Bai Qiucha is Bai Chuanqi's son. He can't just join other forces so casually. If it weren't for your previous cooperation with the Zhuge family, it wouldn't be very suitable for you as Bai Chuanqi's disciple."

"I see."

Bai Qi understood immediately upon hearing this. Seeing Lu Yuan standing below, ready to fight as a student, his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "Then let Acha be the student. I remember there are competitions between students, right?"

"Students?"

Duan Meng paused for a moment, looked at Bai Qiucha who also had a helpless expression, and nodded somewhat reluctantly.

"The trainees are fine, but... well, trainees it is. Anyway, the main event is the battle between the instructors, so you might not be needed."

"That's settled then. With the two of you joining, this gym battle should be a sure thing."

Zhuge Chen grinned and said, "Come on, I'll take you to get your uniforms. Even though it's a temporary replacement, we still need to make sure you're all equipped."

As he spoke, Zhuge Chen planned to take the two of them backstage to change into their uniforms.

"Masters, this way please."

Outside the Wuhou Taoist Temple, Zhuge Xu led two men and one woman, dressed in different uniforms, into the temple. Behind them were three groups of young people dressed in the same uniforms.

"They're here."

Upon seeing this, Duan Meng's expression changed immediately, and he strode forward, with Wen Ruoshui following closely behind.

"Master Cao, Master Liu, Master Sun, it's been a long time."

Duan Meng forced a smile and shook hands with the group, and the three of them returned the gesture one by one.

"I know all of these masters, so I won't introduce them one by one."

Seeing this, Zhuge Xu smiled and said, "Do you gentlemen need to rest for a while? Or shall I show you around first? The Wuhou Mall is very lively today since it opened."

"No need, let's get straight to the point."

A middle-aged man, exuding an air of authority, shook his head, looked at the group of students from the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy behind him, and asked, "Are these the students of the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy?"

Duan Meng nodded and led the three into the dojo. He introduced them to Bai Qi and the others, saying, "Let me introduce them. These three are Master Cao Bin from Yan Huo Dojo, Master Sun Tian from Zhan Lei Dojo, and Master Liu Bei from Bing Yu Dojo."

Greetings, masters.

Bai Qi and the others bowed to the three of them in succession, and when the three of them saw Bai Qi, they all focused their attention on Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha.

Cao Bin hesitated for a moment, then said, "You are... Bai Qi?"

"That's right, it's Bai Qi, one of our Wuhou Martial Arts Academy instructors."

Duan Meng nodded and directly pointed out Bai Qi's identity. Cao Bin and the other two immediately looked at each other strangely and unconsciously glanced at Bai Qi's casual clothes.

This outfit...it looks like they hired a foreign helper. Couldn't they be a little more professional?

Cao Bin was somewhat speechless, then looked at Bai Qiucha beside him and said, "Has Bai Chuanqi's son also joined the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy?"

Upon hearing Cao Bin's words, the expressions on the faces of the others subtly changed. Duan Meng, seeing this, understood and shook his head, "That's not it."

"Um."

"However, Bai Qiucha is a student of our Wuhou Martial Arts Academy."

Cao Bin and the others looked at each other speechlessly. Thinking of Duan Meng's usual fighting style, they couldn't help but give Duan Meng a thumbs up.

"Master Duan is still as unconventional as ever..."

Duan Meng's lips twitched slightly, seemingly in response to Cao Bin's sarcastic remark, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

"Alright, since all three masters are in a hurry to engage in gym battles, shall we begin?"

Seeing this, Zhuge Xu quickly stepped in to smooth things over, then looked at Wen Ruoshui and said, "Director Wen, would you please be the referee?"

"I would be delighted."

Wen Ruoshui smiled, looked at the three of them, and said, "The three of you, which one of you will go first?"

"Our Icefeather Gym is the weakest of the three, so let us go first."

Liu Bei smiled faintly, and a tall man with a slightly flushed face stepped out from behind him, saying, "Guan Qing, a fifth-level beast tamer from the Ice Feather Dojo, please give me your guidance."

"Guan Qing?"

Duan Meng frowned slightly and said, "Master Liu is still the same as before. He even brought up Guan Qing, a talent who can advance to the sixth level at any time."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Of course, once you reach the sixth rank, you won't have the chance to participate in the Dojo Battle anymore, so you should definitely make the most of it."

Seeing the formulaic smile on Liu Bei's face, Duan Meng was speechless for a moment.

This person has an even thicker skin than Wen Ruoshui.

"Acha, is this Guan Qing very powerful? Master Duan seems rather serious."

Bai Qi was a little curious, so he moved closer to Bai Qiucha and asked.

"Guan Qing is a direct descendant of the Ice Feather Dojo, and his main pet is the Monarch Creature Moon Worship Wood Spirit. He is considered a veteran fifth-tier beast tamer with formidable strength."

Bai Qiucha's gaze swept lightly over the several fifth-level instructors of the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy, and she said, "Among the fifth-level beast tamers of the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy, there really isn't necessarily anyone who can match Guan Qing."

"These people are really here to cause trouble."

Bai Qi understood immediately. Sending out such a powerful beast tamer clearly meant they weren't going to give the Wuhou Dojo any face.

"That's normal. Although the Federation is very large, it has been stable for so many years, and the various fields have been basically divided up. With the Wuhou Consortium developing so rapidly, those old consortia are naturally not happy."

Bai Qiucha wasn't particularly surprised. Although the association was relatively stable, similar dramas were not uncommon. Conflicts between family factions and master-disciple factions were a tradition within the association.

"That's true. The cake is only so big, so it's better if there's one less person to share it with."

Bai Qi nodded and looked towards the arena.

Following Wen Ruoshui's instructions, a beast tamer from Wuhou Dojo and Guan Qing entered the battlefield one after another. The space barrier device, energy absorption device and other equipment were activated one after another, and the surrounding area of ​​the dojo gradually gathered spectators.

"Is this a gym battle?"

"Nonsense, didn't you see the three dojo masters arrive together?"

"It seems so. I originally thought they were here to order rune-equipped mechanical weapons."

"If you really wanted a dojo backed by a big conglomerate, you wouldn't need to come here in person. It's obvious you're here to cause trouble."

"But why come at this time? Wuhou Martial Arts Academy has been open for so long and no one has come before. Coming here today seems a bit like you're trying to cause trouble."

"They're here to cause trouble. If Wuhou Dojo loses this match, Wuhou Mall and even the Wuhou Consortium's business will be affected."

"What a pity. If the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy had been given more time, they might have been able to compete with these big shots."

……

Wen Ruoshui glanced at the two contestants and said, "Contestants, please give a brief self-introduction."

"Guan Qing, a fifth-tier beast tamer, whose main pet is the Moon Worship Wood Spirit."

"Lin Mu, a fifth-tier beast tamer, whose main pet is the Dark Night Poison Lizard."

Lin Mu and Guan Qing bowed to their opponents, and Wen Ruoshui nodded slightly, announcing loudly, "Then, let the match begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two purple runes lit up on the arena, and a wooden figure that resembled both a human and a dragon, as well as a giant lizard hidden in the shadows, appeared before everyone.

[Name]: Moon Worship Wood Spirit

[Attributes]: Plant type, Moon type

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking monarch

……

[Name]: Dark Night Poison Lizard

[Attribute]: Beast, Shadow, Poison

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking monarch.

……

Almost instantly upon entering the arena, the Dark Night Poison Lizard concealed itself, plunging the once brightly lit arena into darkness, making it impossible to discern the giant lizard's location.

"The right choice; the Dark Night Poison Lizard is strongest in the dark. Unfortunately, it chose the wrong opponent."

Seeing this, Wen Ruoshui shook her head helplessly, already foreseeing the outcome of the battle.

However, Lin Mu was unaware of this. He was quite satisfied as he watched the Dark Night Poison Lizard continuously releasing toxins in the darkness to surround the Moon Worship Wood Spirit.

The Night Venom Lizard is quite capable in melee combat, but it prefers to slowly wear down its enemies using this method. This war of attrition is also one of the more common tactics used by the undead.

Although the effects of the toxin on plant-based creatures will be significantly reduced, the power of shadow is enough to make the Moon Worship Wood Spirit suffer a bit.

If all else fails, the Night Poison Lizard can move around at any time to launch a sneak attack.

He wouldn't easily show himself when facing a formidable enemy like Guan Qing.

Just as the Dark Night Poison Lizard's venom was about to reach Moon Worship Wood Spirit, Moon Worship Wood Spirit suddenly raised its hands as if welcoming something. And the dojo, which had been somewhat dark due to the Dark Night Poison Lizard's ability, suddenly had a beam of bright moonlight appear and fall on the arena.

The gentle moonlight pushed aside the shadows, instantly revealing the massive size of the Dark Night Poison Lizard to the Moon Worshiping Wood Spirit. The poison that was constantly overflowing from its mouth was instantly reduced to nothingness by the moonlight.

Moonlight Purification.

"Oh no, they've actually mastered the ability to purify?"

Lin Mu was taken aback when he saw this. He hadn’t expected that Baiyue Muling, who was famous for his fighting skills, would awaken the skill Moon Blossom. He immediately ordered Dark Night Poison Lizard to cast Monarch Force Field. At the same time, a rune flashed between his eyebrows, and Dark Night Poison Lizard’s speed increased dramatically. It charged directly toward Baiyue Muling.

Since a war of attrition is unwinnable, let's end this quickly!

"You're too slow."

Seeing this, Guan Qing shook his head, a red light flashed on his forehead, and the arms of the Moon Worshiping Wood Spirit suddenly became thicker, with branches extending and wrapping around his arms, transforming into a large sword that slashed directly forward.

And the target was none other than the Dark Night Poison Lizard, which had no time to dodge!
