Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 553 What did I do again...?

When Bai Qi and the others arrived, both the Black and White teams were already prepared for battle, and Huangfu Song quickly returned to his team.

However, the appearance of the Great Heavenly Demon Ape still caused some commotion between the two teams.

"Huangfu Song, has your pet beast evolved?"

Bai Yuxiao curiously examined the strange appearance of the Qitian Demon Ape, feeling that it was similar to Armed Evolution, but also seemed quite different.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Team Leader Bai's help."

Huangfu Song nodded, but the smile in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.

"Congratulations! This increases our chances of winning this match even further."

Bai Qiucha smiled warmly and said.

"Of course! After all, this genius has also reached the fifth rank. Isn't that a piece of cake?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxiao proudly shook the back of her hand, where five clearly visible runes indicated that she had reached the level of a fifth-tier beast tamer.

"Actively revealing one's strength is a major taboo on the battlefield."

Gu Shan's words froze Bai Yuxiao in place. She shrank back sullenly, and after confirming that no one had noticed, she glared at Gu Shan resentfully and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, hiding their level up like this?"

"I'm just used to it."

Gu Shan responded calmly. Bai Yuxiao wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Bai Qiucha.

"Don't be careless, the Black Team isn't so easy to deal with."

Upon hearing this, the group looked across at the other side. At this moment, all the members of the Black Team were staring intently at them, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Whether it was intentional or not, the White Team only had a few instructors besides Bai Qi, the team leader, and Wang Huai, while the Black Team, besides Xia Yan and a few others, also had three instructors, Duan Meng, who were in charge of training.

Coupled with the stimulus of being called "losers," the Black Team has undergone a complete transformation these days.

However, the white team showed no fear whatsoever.

Including Bai Qiucha, as well as the newly upgraded Gu Shan, Bai Yuxiao, Huangfu Song, You Xi, and Gan Li, their White Team now has a total of five fifth-tier Beast Tamers.

Although the Black Team also gained two new Tier 5 Beastmasters, the difference in numbers still has a significant impact.

Almost everyone selected for this training program is a fool.

But most importantly, because of Bai Qi, the special forces soldiers in Bai's team have all completed their weapon evolution, and their combat power has also greatly improved compared to before.

"Is it really that tense?"

Seeing the powerful aura emanating from both teams, Bai Qi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Huangfu Wujiu stepped forward and said, "Both Black and White teams are fully present. This week's battle begins!"

Without further ado, Huangfu Wujiu announced the start, and both teams launched their attacks simultaneously.

The White Team's strategy was very simple and brutal: Bai Qiucha, the strongest member, charged straight into full armor and rushed towards the Black Team.

Beside him were Bai Yuxiao and Gu Shan, both from the same association.

The three worked together seamlessly, advancing swiftly in a triangular formation.

Behind the three, squad leaders Huangfu Song, You Xi, and Gan Li each led their own team members, providing support to the three with a three-stage attack.

This is an elite assault strategy commonly used in squad operations, with a distinctly special operations style.

Or rather, it's the style of Wang Huai's team.

The fighting style of using Li Xusheng as the breakthrough point and having others assist is all too obvious.

However, the Black Team did not sit idly by. Unlike the White Team's elite strategy, the Black Team still acted as a team.

Front-line members are responsible for disrupting defenses, middle-line members harass and are prepared for close-quarters combat, and long-range members snipe, keeping enemies at a distance as much as possible.

The tactics were simple yet incredibly sound, with each person functioning like a cog in a war machine, operating methodically and seamlessly.

"As expected, the students of the three major academies are far more qualified than those in the military. After gaining practical experience, they have already surpassed the members of the special forces reserves."

The battle raged fiercely, with neither side gaining the upper hand, but Huangfu Wujiu had already noticed some clues.

Although the two teams have not yet determined a winner, their performance in the battle has already distinguished these 60 people.

Military beast tamers are ultimately lacking in talent.

"General Huangfu is too kind. This is just training. If it were a real life-or-death battlefield, these little guys would be no match for us."

Yang Ming politely returned the compliment, saying that while one's character can be tempered, some things can only be understood through experiencing life and death.

This is something that the trainees present had basically never encountered before.

"They're different."

Huangfu Wujiu shook his head, then turned his gaze to Bai Qiucha and the other two.

As fellow fifth-tier beast tamers, Bai Qiucha's strength was naturally unmatched, but Bai Yuxiao and Gu Shan beside her could also be considered prodigies.

One is a Ghost Dragon Beastmaster, whose undead and dragon-type characteristics give them a significant advantage in battle.

One is a dual-talented beast tamer, whose absolute advantage in the number of pets allows Gu Shan to take on many opponents single-handedly.

Compared to these two, even Huangfu Song, who had just completed his mutation and evolution, was clearly inferior, not to mention You Xi and Gan Li.

"Both of them have advanced to the fifth rank! That's fast!"

Seeing the changes in Bai Yuxiao and Gu Shan, Bai Qi nodded slightly, and when he saw Gu Shan's pet lineup, he raised his eyebrows.

After advancing to the fifth rank, Gu Shan formed a contract with the two elemental creatures.

However, contrary to Bai Qi's expectations, Gu Shan did not place the two pets in new positions, but instead merged them into the original two pets.

The Great Waterfall Turtle moved slowly, enduring the attacks of the Black Team as it advanced. However, a long, black snake would occasionally emerge from its thick carapace to ambush any enemies that tried to get close to it.

Volcano Sparrow entered the arena as before, but the flames on its body seemed to have become even darker, and the fire crown on its head emitted a high temperature that distorted the light.

"Using elemental resonance to temporarily fuse elemental species into a pet of the same attribute? Gu Shan is getting more and more adept at this."

Bai Qi was somewhat envious; once a dual-talented individual develops their abilities, they begin to demonstrate an absolute advantage.

Bai Yuxiao, though lacking Gu Shan's fusion talent, managed to conceal herself within the ghost dragon through ethereal transformation, occasionally surfacing to use the dragon fire element as a sniper rifle to launch targeted harassment attacks from above.

Next up is Huangfu Song.

Although the Great Sage Equal to Heaven is still a king-level being, its combat power has been significantly enhanced due to the increased number of weapons it has six arms and the flight ability of its Wind and Fire Wheels.

Most importantly, the change in attributes from ice to fire completely rendered some of the strategies prepared by the Black Team useless.

In addition, the special forces members, after their armed evolution, also demonstrated combat methods that were completely different from usual. The machinery and runes made their combat style more diverse, giving them a decisive advantage.

Gradually, some wounded began to appear on the battlefield, but the fighting continued without any sign of stopping.

Since it's real combat, injuries are inevitable, and the war won't stop just because you're injured.

Finally, with the last member of the Black Team falling, the outcome of this battle became clear.

The white team still won.

But the cost was also quite high.

Apart from a few fifth-tier beast tamers, almost all the other members of the white team were injured.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Bai Qiucha and her group, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

"As expected of the association's elites, they are indeed more capable than the talents trained by our academy."

The speaker was Sun Guanghao, the teacher leading the team from Huanling Academy. Although his words were full of congratulations, his tone was clearly sarcastic.

It's not that they have a problem with the association, it's just that the Phantom Academy, which was originally the flagship academy of the Necromancer Department, lost a large number of talents because Bai Qi and Bai Heguang joined the Necromancer Department of the Star Machinery Academy.

It would be absolutely abnormal to say that he had no opinions.

"Old Sun, stop being so sarcastic."

Seeing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Illusionary Spirit Academy has quite a few people who have joined the association. If you want to brag, just say so."

"Heh~ I'm not just being sarcastic, I genuinely admire you."

Sun Guanghao snorted coldly, clearly quite unconvinced, and kept glancing at Bai Qi, leaving Bai Qi somewhat confused.

"What did I do to offend him?"

Bai Qi scratched his head and ignored him, but Sun Guanghao seemed to be engrossed in something and suddenly said, "Huangfu Chuanqi, the students are already used to fighting king-level ferocious beasts. Shouldn't we let them see emperor-level creatures?"

"An Emperor-level creature? There is indeed such a plan, but not now."

Huangfu Wujiu shook his head. With their numbers and combat strength exceeding the average level of their peers, both teams possessed the combat power to face king-level ferocious beasts.

But Emperor-level beings are different; their domain skill alone is enough to kill these young people on the spot.

Even in their plans, they only intended to let them experience facing the Emperor Beast in the last week, so that they wouldn't be at a loss if they encountered it later.

"I understand, but I think I can start getting used to it first."

Sun Guanghao looked at Bai Qi and said, "I've been here for so long, and I haven't had much of a chance to speak with Master Bai Qi. How about we have a match today to exchange ideas?"

"A battle? Why are you looking for me? What have I done now?"

Sensing the hostility emanating from Sun Guanghao, Bai Qi felt even more innocent and looked at Duan Meng. Duan Meng, however, gave Bai Qi a sympathetic look before turning his head away.

Battles between Beast Tamers are commonplace, especially since Bai Qi is the main culprit behind the Illusionary Spirit Academy's enrollment failures over the past two years.

It's fortunate that Sun Guanghao has held back until now; if it were him, he probably would have issued a challenge on the very first day they met.

Most importantly, with such a strong teaching force and the renowned general Qi Zhao leading the troops, it was quite embarrassing that they were defeated by Bai Qi's army.

"A battle? Sure, it'll broaden the students' horizons."

Huangfu Wujiu saw through the situation at a glance, but he did not stop it. Instead, he seemed to be going with the flow.

However, the outcome of this battle was already quite clear to Huangfu Wujiu.
