Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 385 A Mere Legendary Resource

Looking at the increasingly unclear skill description, Bai Qi felt a sense of helplessness and said, "Gamma, let's give it a try first."

Click-clack.

(Yes, Master.)

Gamma leaped onto the heads of the group, his body rapidly extending like an inverted giant bowl, enveloping Bai Qi and his pets.

Then, Gamma's body detached from the giant bowl, and the bowl quickly turned into diamond, shining with a soft white light.

"A group defense skill?"

Bai Qi looked at the thin diamond cover that enveloped them and curiously placed his hand on it.

It felt soft and warm to the touch, and Bai Qi even felt that his soul and body were relaxed, and his condition was recovering and improving at a visible speed.

Looking back at his pets, apart from Alpha and Jerry, who are undead, and Nicholas, who is a legendary creature, who didn't react much, the condition of the other pets had obviously improved.

"Can you restore the health of friendly units within range?"

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Gamma now has quite a few support skills, including Energy Stream that can replenish energy, Lifesteal Aura that absorbs debuff energy, and Holy Impact that, although offensive, can also support teammates.

However, strictly speaking, none of these are pure healing skills; at least compared to Divine Protection, they are somewhat lacking.

"I wonder how strong its defense is."

With a gentle push of his palm, Bai Qi's arm passed through the diamond cover and was exposed to the outside world.

"This... Gamma, are you sure this skill is called Divine Protection and not Divine Deception?"

Bai Qi's eyes twitched, while Alpha seemed to have sensed something, and took the initiative to pass through the diamond shield to the outside world, then picked up the gravity sword and slashed heavily at the diamond shield.

boom!

A wave of energy spread outwards, scattering the remains of the venomous snakes corroded by the plague totem, while the divine protection that had been the victim of the attack remained completely intact, without even a crack.

Are the internal and external structures different?

"Alpha, how much power did you use just now?"

Crackling.

(half.)

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Although it was only half, with Alpha's abnormal data and the amplification from the Gravity Sword, not just any creature could withstand this sword strike.

From this perspective, physical defense seems to be fine.

"Alpha, try an energy attack again."

Alpha nodded, switched to the Undying Flame Sword again, and slashed out, the crimson flames instantly covering the entire diamond shield.

The blazing flames turned the diamond shield a deep red, and the earth outside the shield gradually cracked under the intense heat.

Bai Qi and the others, who were in the center of the inferno, did not sense anything unusual.

"Very good, the flame is fine too."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly saw a flash of sword light, and a long crack appeared on the diamond shield.

"Um, is it the Wind Chaser?"

Seeing Alpha's right hand, which was poised to swing a sword but was empty, Bai Qi immediately understood.

Using a super skill to defend against a transcendent level, especially an incredibly sharp Wind Chaser Sword, is indeed a bit of a stretch.

"Not bad, it can withstand most energy and physical attacks from the outside, and it can also restore the status of friendly units inside. It's quite impressive."

Bai Qi looked at the cracks on the diamond shield that were slowly healing and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it didn't evolve from an aura skill like Thorn Body, the fact that it provides both group defense and healing is appealing enough.

Even if he can't move, with this skill, he won't have to worry about his safety when training in the wild. It's definitely a divine skill for protecting his master.

A divine skill to protect its master?

Bai Qi's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something.

"Can Gamma simultaneously release Plague Totems?"

Click-clack.

(They cannot be released simultaneously, but they can be released separately.)

Gamma unleashed two plague totems in quick succession, their deep green halos instantly enveloping the entire area, but upon contact with divine protection, they bypassed them entirely.

Within the vast green halo, a huge diamond shield radiating holy light suddenly appeared.

"Tsk tsk, Plague Totem + Divine Blessing, you could say these two opposing attributes have worked together quite well."

A smile appeared on Bai Qi's face. He felt that he wouldn't have to be afraid of encountering small beast tides in the future.

Hmm... it's just not very easy to coordinate. I guess apart from undead creatures like Alpha, the others will be affected to some extent.

Snap snap snap...

(However, Gamma still hasn't evolved...)

Unlike Bai Qi, Gamma, whose evolution was suddenly stalled halfway through, was clearly somewhat disappointed.

I was so close to becoming even stronger.

"It's alright, I have a pretty good idea."

Bai Qi picked up Gamma and comforted her.

The number of super abilities for Holy Light and Fel remains the same, but it is clear that Fel abilities are generally stronger than Holy Light abilities.

If he wasn't mistaken, the method by which Gamma successfully evolved was exactly what he initially guessed: balancing the two energies within Gamma's body.

"We really need to speed up the collection of Holy Light resources."

Looking at the crater ravaged by the plague totem, Bai Qi slowly stood up, looked at Nicholas beside him, and asked, "Nicholas, are you now in complete control of the Green Dragon Secret Realm?"

Nicholas closed his eyes and quietly felt it for a moment, then said, "It's okay. I should be able to get used to it after a while."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Then I'll go outside and wait for you. I can also say goodbye to Chairman Zhao and the others."

Nicholas nodded and then began to calmly take control of the Green Dragon Secret Realm, while Bai Qi also exited the Green Dragon Secret Realm with great ease.

"I remember Lu Qing saying this badge was used like this?"

Bai Qi took out his identity token and, following Lu Qing's instructions, infused it with his spiritual power. The surrounding scenery instantly transformed, and he was directly transported into the Tower of Decisions.

"It's really convenient."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and then quickly went to Zhao Futu's office.

"Bai Qi, what brings you here?"

Seeing Bai Qi enter through the door, Zhao Futu put down the documents in his hand and smiled, "Are you planning to go back to Gusu City?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I've been at headquarters for quite a while now, it's time for me to go back."

"That's true. After all, you're still a lecturer at Star Machine Academy, and it's really not appropriate for you to keep running around outside."

Zhao Futu smiled and said, "Moreover, the Super God Evolution Research Institute probably has quite a few things that require your attention."

"Um, I don't think I'll need this."

Bai Qi's lips twitched. With the five conglomerates of Zhuge, Cao, Sun, Liu, and the Jiuli Consortium all involved, he wouldn't need to use his brain at all.

"Haha, it's best not to be so optimistic."

Zhao Futu burst into laughter, about to say something more, when a communication request suddenly interrupted him.

"Feed? Yes, that's me. Is that so? I understand... I personally have no objection. Okay, I'll contact you again later."

Zhao Futu hung up the phone and suddenly looked up at Bai Qi. His smiling eyes made Bai Qi's heart skip a beat.

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen...

"Bai Qi, there's a mission they specifically requested you for. Are you willing?"

"I don't want to."

Bai Qi rejected Zhao Futu's request without hesitation; he had seen that kind of smile many times before.

There's definitely something wrong!

Zhao Futu seemed unsurprised and said, "Alright, then I'll decline. What a pity, the reward is a legendary resource."

Wait, a legendary resource?

Bai Qi coughed twice, then instantly put on a fawning smile, saying, "Ahem, President, I suddenly feel that my answer just now was a bit hasty. How about we talk in more detail first?"

"Are you sure? Although it's a specific task, you don't need to force yourself."

Zhao Futu's smile deepened as he said, "Although I feel a little bad for the person who issued the mission, I think he will understand."

"No, I shouldn't force myself. As a member of the Tower of Decisions, I should set an example. How can I refuse other people's requests?"

Bai Qi's face was serious, as if he were willing to go through fire and water for the association.

A legendary resource! Now that the training camp is over, the chances of obtaining it by hunting in the wild are extremely low. How can we let such a gift slip by?

"Not bad, you're much better than Kazumitsu in this respect."

Zhao Futu nodded in satisfaction and said, "The mission was issued by Director Wang Jian of the Thirteenth Bureau. They will inform you of the specific mission details after you accept the mission. I won't go into details here."

"Director Wang Jian? Is this a task assigned by the Thirteenth Bureau?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "Does the Thirteenth Bureau have some secret realm that needs to be solved? Why don't we just ask Instructor Luo?"

"It's not a secret realm quest, it should be considered a social quest."

A knowing smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Futu's face. He said, "These kinds of things are usually handled internally by the Thirteenth Bureau. Inviting you this time is an exception, so remember to seize the opportunity."

"Um, I suddenly don't want to go anymore."

Seeing Zhao Futu's appearance, Bai Qi instinctively sensed something was wrong, and the legendary resources that were supposed to be the reward for the mission didn't seem so appealing anymore.

What kind of social task is this that requires a legendary resource as a reward? Now that I think about it, something seems a bit off.

"I'm sorry, it's too late. I've already agreed on your behalf."

Zhao Futu's expression turned serious, and he said, "Besides, young people like you should travel more. Staying cooped up in school all day won't do you any good for your future development."

"President, didn't you just say that running around everywhere wasn't appropriate...? Also, when did you give that permission? I didn't see it."

Bai Qi's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but complain, but Zhao Futu ignored him and said, "The Thirteenth Bureau will send someone to pick you up in a couple of days, so don't run around for now. Also..."

Zhao Futu paused, his eyes suddenly turning cold, and said, "You can help me investigate some things."

"President, could you please stop looking so gloomy? I really don't want to go anymore."
