Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 36 This was a good deal

"Huh? Why are you all staring at me?"

Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Bai Qi was somewhat bewildered.

Gao Cheng, who was relatively familiar with Bai Qi, rushed up to him, pointed to the Tower of Lamentation where all the runes were lit up, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Um, Bai Qi, did you defeat the ferocious beast in the ninth level?"

"I guess so."

Bai Qi didn't know how to answer Gao Cheng's question. If accepting the key counted, then it would be considered a defeat.

Upon receiving Bai Qi's confirmation, everyone present gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief, but they also tightened their hearts and chose to believe him.

After all, all twenty people qualified to challenge the Tower of Lamentation were here, and all the others had failed before Bai Qi appeared.

There was no one else but Bai Qi.

"Are you really Bai Qi? Is this your pet beast?"

Gao Cheng was speechless, while Lu Yuan still came to confirm with a skeptical attitude. However, apart from Bai Qi, he couldn't connect the ice-armored swordsman behind Bai Qi with the skeleton soldier from before.

Can mechanical modifications even change attributes?

Bai Qi glanced at Lu Yuan, who looked somewhat conflicted, and nodded in confusion, saying, "Otherwise what? Didn't we just meet during our training? Was he injured?"

"I……"

Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing where to begin, while Gao Cheng couldn't stand it any longer and said, "It's not his fault, it's your own fault. Hmm, this pet's appearance has changed quite a bit."

"But I remember your pet beast was Shadow Bone Spike, how did it become like this?"

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "Oh, you mean this? After Alpha challenged the Tower of Lamentation, it obtained a piece of Ice Spirit Iron, and for some reason, it evolved again."

Alpha's form changed too quickly, and Bai Qi was too lazy to explain, attributing everything to the Tower of Lamentation.

"I see, no wonder you stayed up there for so long."

Gao Cheng suddenly realized, but after seeing the Alpha with its drastically changed appearance and aura, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

If Lu Yuan is not mistaken, then Bai Qi's pet beast has undergone two racial evolutions in just about a month.

And judging from their appearance, they are all quite strong?

Is this guy really just a student at the Mecha Academy, and not the successor of some breeding master?

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Those who want to continue the challenge can continue, and those who aren't interested can go home now."

Qin Jiang had already mentioned Bai Qi's identity to the instructor. Seeing Bai Qi surrounded by people, the instructor stepped forward to help Bai Qi out.

"Bai Qi, you are the first person to clear the ninth level. I need to take you to President Qin immediately. Come with me."

Bai Qi nodded. Even if the instructor hadn't said anything, Bai Qi still had some things he needed to confirm with President Qin.

Moreover, he was genuinely afraid of the intense, terrifying gazes of these people.

"Wait a moment!"

Xia Xuan, who had been standing alone to the side, suddenly blocked Bai Qi's way, his scrutinizing gaze sweeping over Bai Qi.

"What's up?"

Although Bai Qi and Xia Xuan are both students at Star Machinery Academy, they are not familiar with each other.

After all, in Xia Xuan's eyes, someone like Bai Qi, who had no awakened talent, was not worthy of his attention.

Bai Qi, too, had no intention of relying on Xia Xuan.

Hearing Bai Qi's answer, Xia Xuan was instinctively displeased. His face turned cold, and he said, "I heard that you only signed the contract a month ago, and now you can actually clear this secret realm tower. I don't really believe it."

"Um... I don't think you need to believe that, do you?"

Bai Qi was exasperated. He pointed to the Tower of Lamentation behind him and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You can continue your journey."

"No, I intend to verify your true skill level myself."

"I challenge you to a battle!"

"Do you dare to accept?"

Looking at Xia Xuan's battle-ready expression, Bai Qi became even more bewildered.

Did I offend him?

Are all rich people so fragile?

Bai Qi turned to the instructor beside him for help, but to his surprise, the instructor was quite interested. He walked up to the two of them and said, "Since you want to take on the challenge, I can be your referee."

Brother, didn't you just say you were going to Chairman Qin's place immediately? How come you've changed your mind?

"Everyone, disperse! Disperse!"

Seeing that the instructor had agreed to the duel, Han Wei, who loved watching the excitement, immediately began to organize the people around him to make room for the two to fight, while the instructor also stepped aside, signaling the two to get ready.

Why did they suddenly start fighting all of a sudden...?

Bai Qi sighed helplessly and had no choice but to accept Xia Xuan's challenge.

"I agree, but I want to raise the stakes and bet on your first clear of level 5 bonus."

Bai Qi was still somewhat unhappy about not being able to get the reward from the fifth floor, and now that Xia Xuan had brought it up, Bai Qi naturally couldn't miss it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you agree to fight me, I'll give it to you."

Xia Xuan casually took out three pieces of Ice Spirit Iron and handed them to the instructor beside him, while Bai Qi also took out an equal amount of Ice Spirit Iron to gamble with him.

"Alright, let's finish this quickly!"

"Ahem, gambling is generally not allowed in matches, but today's situation is special, so let's not do it again."

The instructor put away the Ice Spirit Iron, and seeing that both of them had summoned their pets, he waved his hand heavily.

"The match begins!"

As soon as the instructor finished speaking, Alpha vanished in a blur, reappearing atop MetalGreymon's head with its broad sword pressed against its skull. Alpha could pierce MetalGreymon's head at any moment if it wished.

Although mechanical beast tamers don't have the organs of traditional beast tamers, they still have a vital part: the intelligent computer that houses the spirit of the mechanical beast.

Although Bai Qi had never contracted a mechanical beast, he was, after all, a student of the Mechanical Weapon Academy, and he immediately identified the location of MetalGreymon's AI.

At such close range, even with MetalGreymon's powerful firepower, it wouldn't have time to unleash it.

"How is this possible at that speed!"

Seeing that Alpha had subdued his MetalGreymon in an instant, Xia Xuan was clearly unable to accept it, while Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng, who had trained and done missions with Bai Qi before, were not surprised at all.

Seeing the astonished expressions of those around them, Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng felt a surge of contempt.

It's just running a little faster, what's the big deal? You're still too naive.

"Can the Wind Demon Wolf catch up with that speed?"

Han Wei's Wind Demon Wolf is also known for its speed, which is more noticeable than that of others, inevitably putting pressure on him.

However, seeing Xia Xuan's frustrated and incredulous look, Han Wei's mood immediately improved.

Seeing the young master of the Xia family suffer a loss is a huge win for them!
