Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 395 The Sun and Fire

Strive to receive all blessings?

Thirteen is really quite confident.

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but didn't pay it any mind.

Although the specific effects of the blessing are still unclear, judging from Li Xusheng's condition just now, it should be quite good. It is quite normal for the 13th Bureau to have such an idea.

Just then, flames suddenly burst into flames on the red lotus, and the thirty-six pets that had been resting on the petals vanished from their spots.

"Were I transported to the world inside the flower petals?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi looked closely and discovered that he could clearly see the current status of each pet beast and extraordinary creature on the petal.

At this moment, the cordyceps was already in a world of flames, and opposite the cordyceps, a fiery lion was slowly taking shape.

"Is advancement achieved by defeating the fire beast?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly and gave the cordyceps a command. The cordyceps did not hesitate; with a flap of its wings, it transformed into a golden rainbow that pierced through the fire lion.

The fire lion shattered instantly, but then split into two identical fire lions, which once again blocked the cordyceps's path.

"Infinite splitting? Is it a test of the pet's endurance?"

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon seeing this. He had never been afraid of a battle of endurance, and this round was basically a sure thing.

The others quickly realized the nature of the Trial of Fire and began to adjust their combat styles, choosing the most energy-efficient methods.

The proper allocation of energy is also one of the abilities that a powerful creature must master.

However, this situation only lasted for a short while before the challengers inside the Crimson Lotus noticed the anomaly.

"Chief, a portion of my energy just disappeared without any apparent reason."

Cordyceps easily passed through the sixteen lions surrounding him, and was about to crush the thirty-two fiery lions that had not yet taken shape when he suddenly discovered that some of his energy had disappeared for no reason.

"The energy has disappeared?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something. He carefully scanned the pets within the thirty-six petals and finally found his target on the petal opposite the cordyceps.

A fiery lion.

The lion's mane was completely replaced by flames, and its four limbs were also treading on flames, making it truly majestic.

If you ignore his obviously tired expression...

"So that's how it is. It's not a free-for-all, but a battle against designated opponents?"

Looking at the giant beetle that was also formed from flames opposite the lion, Bai Qi immediately understood the method of the Fire Trial.

They pair up and absorb each other's energy to condense fiery clones until one side's energy is exhausted.

Based on the feedback from the cordyceps, it seems that energy is only drawn from the main body when the flame clone is destroyed, and it is clear that the energy consumption increases as time goes on.

Bai Qi smacked his lips and said, "Epsilon, speed up the attack. Don't give them a chance to deplete your energy."

Although both involve a war of attrition, according to the rules of Fire Lotus, the more cautious you play, the more likely your opponent will deplete your energy before you can.

The lion that was facing off against Cordyceps was too cautious and allowed Cordyceps to continuously deplete a large amount of its energy, which is why it took so long to destroy one of Cordyceps's fiery clones.

Simply put, this is nothing more than a race against time disguised as a war of attrition!

"I understand, Chief!"

Having learned the truth about the Trial of Fire from Bai Qi, Cordyceps immediately understood. He concentrated the power of the sun on his body and easily pierced through the thirty-two newly born fire lions.

Next came sixty-four...

Roar!

The fire lion, its energy depleted, roared in frustration before being teleported away.

Upon seeing this, the other extraordinary creatures still inside the fire lotus immediately understood and changed their previously conservative fighting style, beginning to accelerate their attacks on their opponents.

Even after understanding the rules of the battle, the thirty-six pet beasts on the stage quickly developed differences in strength.

The strength of one's own clone depends on the total energy value of the original body, and the speed at which one defeats an opponent's clone depends on the strength of one's own attack.

Only when both are present can one hope to reach the end in the Trial of Fire.

Flame is inherently a mixture of gentleness and explosiveness.

"We've finally realized the true nature of the Trial of Fire."

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor grinned, looked at the Crimson Lotus Succubus, and said, "Crimson Lotus, you really haven't been out for too long. These kids don't even know how fiery your temper is anymore."

"Perhaps..."

The Crimson Lotus Succubus covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Besides, we're only at the first level now, so it's too early to say we've seen through the Trial of Fire."

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor shrugged and said, "Only you guys could come up with such a troublesome trial. It would be so much easier to just fight it all together."

"But judging from this, I think that kid named Bai Qi is probably going to win again."

The Guardian of Light delivered his opinion in a deep, resonant voice.

"That's hard to say. The Borg family's angel of judgment and the human descendants of the Old Fire family are not to be trifled with."

The Guardian of War shook his head and said, "Moreover, the little brat from the Crimson Lotus family, Emperor Heart Lotus, has also made his appearance."

"Ah, I really envy you guys. Unlike me, I have a lot of children, but only a few of them are successful."

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor looked at the Crimson Lotus Succubus with some envy, but the Crimson Lotus Succubus merely glanced at the Eternal Night Blood Emperor and said, "If you were just a little more responsible, your descendants wouldn't be so incompetent."

"Take responsibility? That's not going to happen."

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor waved his hand dismissively, looking as if he was going to carry forward the title of the strongest scumbag in the pet world. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked Aletta.

"Boss, who do you think is the best?"

"Me?"

Aletta glanced at the remaining extraordinary creatures on the field and said, "If I had to choose, I would agree with Fresnel's opinion."

"Do you think Bai Qi has a good chance?"

The Eternal Night Blood Emperor nodded slightly and said, "It seems that this kid from the association is destined to be the most dazzling star in Eden tonight."

"The brightest? That's a very apt description."

"Finnier, you should go out and get some exercise more."

……

Above the red lotus.

With Bai Qi being the first to discover the assessment method of the Fire Trial, half of the extraordinary creatures were quickly eliminated, and new opponents immediately appeared on the other side of the winners.

And a candle suspended above their heads.

"Chief, I feel that this candle is connected to my life force."

As the first extraordinary creature to defeat its opponent, Cordyceps immediately noticed the abnormality of the candle above its head and reported it to Bai Qi.

"A candle linked to life force? The Crimson Succubus is using life candles?"

Bai Qi chuckled. Just now, he was burning energy, but now he was burning life force. If this continued, wouldn't he be burning his spiritual energy?

"Let's make this a quick victory. We need to burn our life force and not drag things out."

Bai Qi gave the cordyceps a command, which the cordyceps immediately obeyed. Looking at the giant firebird in front of it, the two seven-colored tentacles on its beak suddenly extended and pierced through the firebird's body.

Although the Dream Vine's abilities were overridden by the Green Dragon's natural power, the Cordyceps' control over plants was not weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, due to the addition of the dragon attribute, its attack power was even stronger.

The firebird was injured, but it did not dissipate as before. Instead, the life candle on its head burned faster, and about one-fifth of the candle disappeared completely.

Sensing that its life was threatened, the firebird on the other side immediately intensified its attack, and its clone reacted in sync. With a shriek, countless fireballs appeared out of thin air, turning into a rain of fire that rushed straight towards the cordyceps.

Seeing this, the cordyceps still did not retract its vines. It shook its head vigorously, and the seven-colored vines danced like two long whips, scattering the fireballs into the air.

With the dual blessing of dragon attribute and solar power, the two vines of Cordyceps are almost immune to fire damage.

Seemingly affected by the failed attack, the firebird became increasingly agitated. Its entire body suddenly erupted in flames, and it abandoned its ranged attack, actively moving closer to the cordyceps.

It's really unreasonable to drive a small insect, which is meant to be food, to this point.

Seeing that the firebird was about to engage in close combat, the cordyceps immediately retracted its two seven-colored vines, its whole body radiating golden light, and it began to fully activate its solar power.

As the sun rose, not only the firebird battling the cordyceps seemed to be rising, but even the spectators outside could see a round sun slowly ascending and gradually becoming scorching hot.

"How dazzling... This guy's inherited mythological bloodline is quite pure."

Sensing the increasingly intense power of the sun below, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor tightened his cloak to block out the sunlight.

While it wouldn't be accurate to say he was restrained, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor did indeed prefer the night.

On the other side, Firebird also noticed the abnormality. As he got closer, he could feel the terrifying temperature emanating from the cordyceps more and more clearly.

It might be burned to death?

Firebird had an idea that even he found laughable.

If word got out that fire-type creatures were burned to death, wouldn't that be utterly ridiculous?

Thinking of this, the firebird erupted again, ignoring the battle on its own side and instead actively channeling its energy to its clone.

In an instant, the flames on the firebird burned even hotter, and the originally bright red firebird gradually turned white.

On the other side, the golden light emanating from the cordyceps became increasingly dazzling, making its shape completely obscured.

Finally, the sun and fire met, but instead of the violent explosion that others had expected, they blended together like water and milk. The white flames simply disappeared into the golden sun without causing the slightest ripple.

The sun beetle was worshipped as the sun by ancient humans, so how could ordinary flames compare?

Sure enough, when the golden light faded, the cordyceps appeared before everyone intact, even looking better than before.

The clone that had gathered all of the firebird's energy had vanished without a trace.

Like moths drawn to a flame or phoenixes soaring towards the sun, their fate is naturally to be used as fuel.
