Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 346 I'll Become the Dean?

Enveloped by the dragon of death, the Abomination Butcher melted away as quickly as if burned by fire. If the power of death were allowed to continue to erode him, the only outcome for the Abomination Butcher would be annihilation.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately ordered Alpha to release the Abomination Butcher, but frowned slightly after noticing the chains on the Abomination Butcher that seemed to have become much thicker.

"Alpha, leave all those chains behind."

Crackling.

(Okay, boss.)

With a gentle twirl of Alpha's Death Sword, the Death Dragon spat out the Abomination Butcher, simultaneously retrieving the chain from his body.

As the chains left his body, the power of death within the Abomination Butcher was also taken away. His body, riddled with craters, the Abomination Butcher could barely keep his balance and avoid falling, making combat absolutely impossible.

Seeing the Abomination Butcher lose so miserably, Sima Zhao's expression turned noticeably ugly, but Sima Jing still wore a smile, as if the one who lost wasn't someone from his own dojo.

*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...

Sima Jing clapped as he walked toward Bai Qi and said, "As expected of Bai Qi's disciple, you have trained each of your pets to be so excellent. This time, our Tomb Tiger Dojo has learned a great deal."

"You flatter me, Master."

Bai Qi smiled and silently put away the Alpha that was holding the chains.

This chain can absorb the power of death; it seems very unusual. I'll have to study it carefully when I get back.

Bai Qi's actions naturally did not escape Sima Zhao's notice, and he immediately wanted to stop him. However, after seeing Sima Jing's inexplicable gaze, he gritted his teeth and obediently retreated.

"Alright, it's getting late. I think we should call it a day for today's gym battles. What do you all think?"

Seeing that Sima Jing seemed to have no intention of continuing the challenge, Wen Ruoshui stepped forward.

"What do you experts think?"

Zhuge Xu looked at Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei beside him, and none of them had any objections.

The Wuhou Consortium's business is mainly related to the central region, so this time the three of them are representing the group in the gym battle.

Now that Wuhou Martial Arts Academy has proven its strength and demonstrated sufficient value for cooperation, they naturally won't cause any more trouble.

As for the Sima family...

Everyone looked at Sima Jing. The Tomb Tiger Consortium was originally split off from the Flame Fire Consortium and was established around the same time as the Marquis Wu Consortium. However, because the Tomb Tiger Consortium got involved with the West, it developed exceptionally rapidly and was soon able to rival these established consortia.

Therefore, the Tsukatora Foundation can be seen as representing the opinions of the major families in the west.

"The Wuhou Martial Arts Academy is full of talented people, and its future achievements are probably unmatched by our Zhonghu Martial Arts Academy. I naturally have no objection."

Sima Jing smiled, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "Our Sima family has always held Mr. Bai Qi in high esteem. If Mr. Bai Qi doesn't mind, you are welcome to visit the Tomb Tiger Consortium when you have time. I think there will be something that interests you."

"Thank you, but I'm still just a student and can't wander around, so I won't go."

Bai Qi rejected Sima Jing's invitation without hesitation. He felt very uncomfortable with Sima Jing, so he didn't want to have much interaction with him.

Moreover, he was also very concerned about the chain that could absorb the power of death.

He felt that the material of this chain was somewhat similar to that of the Death Knight's armor.

"I see. Then there's nothing we can do."

Sima Jing shook his head with some regret, then walked towards Zhuge Xu and said, "Chairman Zhuge, would you mind if we talked? Perhaps our two companies could reach some cooperation agreements?"

"No need. The Wuhou Consortium and the Zhonghu Consortium have different development directions, so let's skip the cooperation."

Zhuge Xu waved his hand, then looked at the three people beside him and said, "Gentlemen, this way please."

"please."

The four of them went together, while Duan Meng immediately stepped forward and skillfully arranged accommodations and subsequent arrangements for the beast tamers of the three dojos.

Although they came to challenge the restaurant, they weren't unwelcome guests, so we naturally had to treat them well.

As for the Tsukatora Foundation, it was completely ignored.

"Um, Zhuge Chen, are you sure it's okay for you to be so direct?"

Seeing the Tsukatora Group in such a miserable state, Bai Qi felt strange.

Based on his understanding of Zhuge Xu, he was definitely a qualified, or rather, an excellent, businessman. He would never act in this way because of personal emotions when faced with interests. Something was really wrong.

"Dad and Sima Jing have a personal grudge, well, a pretty deep one, which is why things are like this. Dad wouldn't act this way if it were anyone else."

"Personal grudge? What kind of deep-seated hatred could make Uncle Zhuge target you like this?"

"Sima Jing once tried to steal my mother away."

"Hmm...I understand."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, glanced at the gradually dispersing audience, and said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now."

"Don't be in such a hurry. My dad just messaged me and asked me to take you to his office."

Zhuge Chen shook his head, looked at Bai Qiucha, and said, "Bai Qiucha, you should come too."

"No, I'll just browse around by myself. I was thinking of buying some things for my Thunder Rat anyway."

Bai Qiucha politely declined Zhuge Chen's invitation. Zhuge Xu's invitation to Bai Qi clearly indicated that he had something to discuss, and Bai Qiucha didn't need to get involved. Besides, he did indeed want to do some serious shopping.

The Wuhou Mall sells more than just Spirit Orbs and Rune Mechanical Armor Cards; it also offers a variety of daily training and life-related items.

"Oh well."

Zhuge Chen nodded, and then led Bai Qi into the elf's chamber.

Seeing the group leave one after another, Sima Zhao's expression twisted somewhat. He walked up to Sima Jing and said, "Uncle, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"What else? Once the goods are delivered, the mission is complete."

Sima Jing smiled faintly and said, "Aren't those old guys in the west very interested in Bai Qi? We can leave the rest to them; it has nothing to do with us."

With that, Sima Jing turned and walked out of the dojo. Sima Zhao looked thoughtful and glanced deeply in the direction Bai Qi had left before chasing after Sima Jing.

"Uncle, where do we go next?"

"Just wander around, it's a rare holiday, don't waste it."

……

Elf's Home.

Led by Zhuge Chen, Bai Qi quickly arrived at Zhuge Xu's office. As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard a hearty laugh coming from inside.

"It's been a long time. I thought it would be someone else trying to cause trouble, but it turns out to be the three of you. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have arranged so many things."

"It's a good thing we arrived first, otherwise if someone else had gotten there first, you wouldn't have gotten through so easily."

Zhuge Xu feigned complaint, while Cao Bin and the other two abandoned their previous polite demeanor and chatted with Zhuge Xu in a very familiar manner.

"Uh, what's going on?"

Bai Qi walked in with a blank expression, while Zhuge Xu, upon seeing Bai Qi arrive, warmly led him to the three of them and said, "Let me reintroduce you. These three are my friends from my youth, but now they are the masters of the dojo."

"So, this gym battle was all just a show?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately understood, his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Chen, who was equally bewildered.

"Don't look at Zhuge Chen, he doesn't know the specifics either."

Zhuge Xu explained, "I originally expected that the three of them would come, so I also placed some beast tamers trained by the Wuhou Consortium in the dojo. But things changed more than I expected, so it turned out like this."

"Moreover, these three guys didn't hold back at all when they saw you were here, Bai Qi."

At this point, Zhuge Xu glared at the three of them with some dissatisfaction and said, "Luckily, Bai Qi is reliable. If we had really lost and the Wuhou Dojo couldn't have opened, don't blame me for turning against him."

Sun Tian looked innocent and said, "This was not my idea. Liu Bei was the first to go up, and he even let Guan Qing go. Blame him."

Liu Bei gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Cao told me to go, what does it have to do with me?"

Cao Bin: "I didn't."

Are these three really gym leaders? They seem so unreliable...

Seeing the three of them shifting blame to each other, Bai Qi's expression became increasingly strange.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xu remembered that he had important business to attend to. He coughed twice to stop the noise and then looked at Bai Qi, saying, "Bai Qi, I called you here today because there is something I want to discuss with you."

Zhuge Xu handed a document to Bai Qi and said, "Recently, the popularity of rune evolution and weapon evolution has been increasing. Although Professor Dong and Professor Chu have been doing their best to organize it, they are obviously too busy now. So I talked to the two of them a few days ago and decided to expand the two evolution groups into a large research institute."

"A large research institute?"

Bai Qi took the document and asked with some curiosity, "I feel like the current scale is already quite large, isn't it?"

Zhuge Xu and the other two exchanged glances and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "If it were placed in Gusu City, it would certainly be big enough, but compared to the entire Federation, it's a bit too small."

"Spirit Orbs, Rune Mechanical Armaments, Rune Evolution, Armament Evolution... These things are gradually being popularized in the Federation, and the amount of research required is enormous. The current manpower is definitely not enough."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "In that case, let's expand it then."

"You really have no idea about your current status."

Seeing this, Zhuge Xu smiled helplessly and said, "These things were basically all researched by you. You were also the team leader for rune evolution and weapon evolution. These things must be approved by you before they can be implemented."

"Moreover, besides our Wuhou Consortium, these three other companies also want to participate in this research institute, so I have to ask for your opinion."

"After all, you'll have to be the director of this research institute."

Upon hearing Zhuge Xu's words, Bai Qi looked at Zhuge Xu with a completely bewildered expression.

"Me? As the dean?"
