Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 354 Original Sin Potion

Sensing the presence of another kingly aura behind him, the already somewhat disheveled porcupine-man became even more disorganized, but his attacks grew increasingly fierce, resembling a haphazard attempt to defeat a master.

Alpha remained calm upon seeing this, wielding the Wind Chaser sword with agility, each swing tearing away a piece of flesh from the porcupine. Even though the porcupine's regeneration speed was extremely fast, it gradually began to fall behind.

After all, in addition to its own sharpness, the Wind Chaser Sword also brings with it endless wind blades with each attack, and the angles are incredibly tricky, leaving the porcupine man with no idea where to defend.

Bai Qi's requirement was to capture him alive, so Alpha did not choose the Sword of Death or the Undying Flame, but instead chose the Sword of the Wind to defeat the Porcupine Man.

The porcupine seemed to know Alpha's plan, forcefully blocking one of Alpha's attacks with its fangs, then took a step back, threw a bottle into its mouth, and roared at the full moon above its head.

"Holy crap, the porcupine howling at the moon! Could it be that the werewolf cheated on him with the porcupine?!"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, his eyes burning with the fire of gossip. Then he saw a beam of moonlight descend from the sky and land on the porcupine-man.

In an instant, the porcupine-man's body swelled up, with streaks of green lightning crackling across its body.

In a daze, you can see a giant porcupine roaring angrily at the porcupine people from behind.

Sensing the changes in the porcupine-man, Alpha's eyes suddenly blazed with fire, and a powerful fighting spirit shot into the sky, confronting the porcupine from afar.

In the blink of an eye, the porcupine launched the first attack, its spikes raining down on Alpha like arrows, the green electric sparks flashing on them conveying a deadly poisonous aura even from a distance.

Seeing this, Alpha gripped his Wind and Fire swords together and thrust them at the porcupine-man, a small whirlwind carrying crimson flames swept towards the rain of spiked arrows.

boom!

The tiny flame exploded upon contact with the first spike, transforming into a fiery tornado that completely enveloped all the spikes.

As the wind raged, faint wind blades flashed by, severing all the porcupine's quills before burning them to nothingness in the undying flames.

However, at that moment, the porcupine's ferocious head suddenly emerged from the flames. The burning pain from the undying flames made it even more ferocious. It roared at Alpha, and two huge green fangs stabbed towards Alpha.

Upon seeing this, Alpha's eyes sharpened. He tossed the Undying Flame Sword aside and gripped the Wind Chaser Sword with both hands.

A seemingly ordinary horizontal slash, the cyan blade cutting across the sky.

With its fangs shattered, the once ferocious porcupine-man suddenly fell silent and crashed heavily to the ground.

Alpha sheathed his longsword and slowly landed in front of the porcupine-man. Only after confirming that the porcupine-man was incapacitated did Bai Qi cautiously approach him.

However, upon seeing the true form of the porcupine-man, Bai Qi was stunned and stood frozen in place.

"Humans?!"

……

Beast Tamer Association.

President Qin looked solemnly at the porcupine-man in front of him, who had completely transformed back into a human, and sighed.

"I never imagined that the tribe's beast soul masters could do this much, transforming humans into half-beast forms."

"A half-orc? Is that even possible?"

Bai Qi was somewhat curious. Apart from the legendary creatures and humans who had bloodlines passed down through generations, Bai Qi had never heard of any other such creatures. He never expected to actually witness the existence of such a species today.

"The half-orcs I'm talking about aren't the mixed-blood species you're thinking of, but rather the product of a Beast Soul Master fusing with their own Martial Soul."

President Qin shook his head and said, "In this form, even without summoning the will of a contracted ferocious beast, a Beast Soul Master can still unleash strength no weaker than a King-level creature, roughly equivalent to a fifth-tier Beast Tamer in human form."

"A fifth-tier beast tamer?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, recalling the scene of Alpha casually kneading the porcupine man before, and clearly did not believe it.

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, President Qin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Kid, don't use yourself to measure others of the same level in the future. I just checked the surveillance footage from the Luo Net. Although this porcupine-man's strength is only at the level of a fifth-tier beast tamer, when the enemy and friend are not clear, an ordinary beast tamer may not necessarily be his match."

"is that so……"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi scratched his head, then suddenly realized something and said, "The Net? When did the Net start monitoring areas outside the city? The flower sea should be quite far from the city, right?"

"Cough cough cough...Isn't it because I'm worried about you getting into trouble that I asked Luo Wang to keep an eye on you?"

President Qin coughed awkwardly twice, quickly changing the subject. Then, his expression turned serious, and he said, "Your discovery is very useful. Originally, the highest level a Beast Soul Master could reach was the fourth rank. Now that the tribe has broken that restriction, we need to be careful in future battles against the tribe."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this, then took out a vial from his pocket and handed it to President Qin, saying, "During my battle with the porcupine-man, I saw it take this vial, and its combat power noticeably increased. Have you seen it, President?"

"Medicine?"

President Qin took the medicine from Bai Qi's hand with a puzzled expression.

The potion was entirely black, looking no different from ink, but if you looked at it for a long time, your mind would be unconsciously drawn in, as if your soul was being assimilated by the black potion.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the original sin potion."

President Qin put away the Sin Potion, a smile appearing on his face.

"Judging from this, you must have encountered this guy while he was spreading the Sin Potion, which is why he attacked you."

"The recent unrest among the ferocious beasts is due to this drug. Although we seized some before, it was clearly adulterated, making it difficult to create a suitable antidote. Your dose has a high concentration, which might be helpful."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, becoming increasingly curious about the original sin potion.

I originally thought the Sin Potion was something like a berserker potion, but judging from the porcupine's appearance at the time, it seems to have other uses.

Hmm, let's go back and let Shuke and the others take a look. Maybe they can find something useful.

"Leave this Beast Soul Master to me for now; I think the Federation will be very interested. As for you..."

President Qin looked at Bai Qi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I am very confident in your current strength, but the wilderness is different from other places. You'd better go out during the day."

"Uh, I understand."

Bai Qi glanced apologetically at President Qin's pajamas. After discovering that the porcupine-man had turned into a human, Bai Qi immediately took him to the Beast Tamer Association to find President Qin.

Unaware of the situation, President Qin was worried that something had happened to Bai Qi, so he rushed over without even changing out of his pajamas. Now it seems that this was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Bai Qi was also surprised that Chairman Qin actually liked wearing such cute pajamas!

Seeing Bai Qi's increasingly strange gaze, Elder Qin blushed and kicked Bai Qi away.

"You brat, if you come at this time again, I'll deduct all your points!"

"Ahem... President, it's not good for you to take revenge like this, after all, you don't want people to know you like to wear..."

"Get out of here right now!"

Bai Qi nimbly dodged the books thrown by President Qin and dashed out of the Beast Tamer Association in a flash.

It was still the middle of the night, and apart from a few patrolling beast tamers and mechanical creations, there wasn't a soul in sight.

The ferocious beasts are restless, and even the city is not necessarily safe. Therefore, after 10 o'clock, all facilities in Gusu City will be shut down, and citizens are not allowed to stay outside for too long.

Bai Qi looked up at the night sky. The stars were still twinkling, but Bai Qi knew that some of them were just disguises of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

"Being targeted by the Luo Wang organization, I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy."

Bai Qi smacked his lips. Although it was for his safety, the feeling of being watched was really not good.

"I wonder if the teachers' actions are also being monitored like this."

……

Day two.

Bai Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes and reluctantly got out of bed.

After returning yesterday, he went to the secret realm base, handed another dose of the original sin potion to Yu for analysis, and then went to check on Shuke's progress. He was busy until four or five in the morning before returning.

He had only been lying down for a short while when he was woken up by the urgent ringing of the doorbell.

"So early, could it be that the student council president has come to see me again...?"

Thinking about how he had disturbed the chairman's sweet dream yesterday, Bai Qi seriously suspected that Chairman Qin had come to take revenge today.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi opened the door with a helpless expression, wanting to see who Chairman Qin sent to wake him up, but saw a figure suddenly pounce on him.

Holy crap, could it be that the porcupine man's accomplices have come for revenge?

Bai Qi was startled, but when he saw another familiar figure with a smile on his face at the door, he froze on the spot.

"Dad? And this is Mom?"

Luo Zhu released Bai Qi, pinched his cheek hard, and said, "Why do you have this expression when you see Mom and Dad who haven't been home for so long? Could it be... you're hiding someone at home?"

Seeing Luo Zhu's gossipy expression, Bai Qi smiled wryly and said, "Mom, can't you think of something else?"

"By the way, didn't the Jiuli Consortium just announce the ancient species? Dad, Mom, don't you need to keep an eye on things?"

Bai Yan shook his head and said, "The resurrected ancient species are in a very stable state and have basically adapted to the current world environment. The next step is some routine data monitoring, which is handled by others and we don't need to do it."

"Oh, I see..."

Bai Qi understood and asked, "So, Mom and Dad, how long will you be staying at home this time?"

"This research took a lot of time, so the higher-ups let us both rest for a while longer."

Bai Yan patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to rest for at least a month."

"Um, Dad, this opening sounds kind of familiar."

Bai Qi's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but think of Bai Heguang, whose vacation had been interrupted.

Should we tell them about the dragon monster?

Hmm, and the original sin potion, that should also be classified under biochemical projects.

I have a feeling that doing this will bring my parents' holiday to an early end...
