Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 620 seems a bit too high-profile?

the next day.

Ice Feather Branch.

"Dean Bai, do you want the bark guarded by the Crescent Moon Guard?"

"That's right, I'm very interested in the Moonlight attribute of the Crescent Moon Guardian and want to study it."

Bai Qi nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

According to Delta, this moonlight attribute can not only resist the power of death, but also has the ability to purify. If one could master it, it could also alleviate some of Gamma's auxiliary tasks.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Guan Qing's expression turned strange, and he silently pressed down on the curse mark on the back of his left hand.

Although he acknowledged that Bai Qi's talent was indeed superior to his own, he was also aware of Bai Qi's reputation as a research fanatic.

Don't ask for tree bark now, or you'll dismantle his Crescent Moon Guardian later.

He was counting on the Crescent Moon Guardian to advance to legendary status, even though it was a mythical imperial creature.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei immediately stepped forward and said, "Dean Bai, the Crescent Moon Guardian was promoted not long ago. Extracting materials might have an impact on him. Perhaps we should just forget about it."

"All right."

Bai Qi felt a little regretful upon hearing this, but still asked another question.

"Guan Qing, where did you make the contract with your Moon Worshiping Tree Spirit? Was it in Leishan?"

Guan Qing shook his head and said, "No, the Moon Worshiping Tree Man was brought back by the curator from the Night Song Forest."

"Night Song Forest? I understand."

Bai Qi looked at Liu Bei, and after receiving confirmation, silently noted it down. He checked the time and said, "It's about time. Shall we head to Cangzhe Academy now?"

"That's good. Once Cangzhe Academy sees your research results, Dean, they will definitely go to great lengths to propose cooperation with us."

A glint flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and he looked determined to win.

Liu Bei is already aware of the new look of Cordyceps and considers it to be the effect of the Awakening Potion. He is increasingly optimistic about the future development of the Awakening Potion.

Most importantly, the cordyceps' insect-dragon hybrid form is exactly the perfect creature that Cangzhe Academy is pursuing. As long as it makes its appearance, Cangzhe Academy will definitely take the initiative to approach it.

The initiative is in their hands.

"Cooperation...cooperation is no problem, as long as they don't target cordyceps."

Bai Qi's lips twitched. Yesterday, the Sun Wheel Beetle alone had made the Immortal Insect Emperor so excited. If they were to see the insect-dragon bloodline, the Immortal Insect Emperor might get carried away and grab the Cordyceps to breed... cough cough, to have an in-depth exchange.

"Probably not, after all, His Excellency Nicholas is there too."

Liu Bei looked at Nicholas, who had transformed into human form beside him, without the slightest worry.

Regardless of Bai Qi's current identity, the mere presence of Nicholas, this legendary dragon with unfathomable strength, is enough to dispel any thoughts in most people's minds.

"Too."

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "Then let's set off!"

"Alright, but Dean, I have a suggestion."

……

Cangzhe Academy.

Yang Ming, accompanied by several teachers from Cangzhe Academy, stood quietly at the entrance, waiting.

"Master Yang is just a young man. Do we really need so many of us waiting here?"

An elderly man with graying hair looked displeased and questioned him.

"Professor Lin, Bai Qi is a distinguished guest invited by the Dean. The Dean originally intended to come and greet him personally, but since the Tomb Guardian Legend is still around, he sent us to greet him instead."

Hearing the old man's question, Yang Ming was also somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Wumu was Lin Fugui's elder and a well-known professor at Cangzhe Academy, but Lin Fugui still singled him out to greet Bai Qi, a young man, which naturally made Lin Wumu feel uncomfortable.

"Distinguished guest~ He's just a greenhorn who became famous thanks to his elders' support, what kind of distinguished guest is he!"

Lin Wumu snorted coldly. He naturally knew Bai Qi's reputation. He had heard of him as the creator of Spirit Masters, the Federation's most talented Beast Master, and even the Federation's youngest core patent holder.

But it is precisely because of this that Lin Wumu questioned Bai Qi's titles.

Because it's too fake!

Before going to university, he hadn't even awakened his talent. After suddenly becoming a Beastmaster, not only did his strength skyrocket, but he also achieved in the art of runes what countless predecessors had failed to accomplish. Furthermore, he introduced the Spirit Master, an invention recognized by the will of the world.

Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!

"Professor Lin, Bai Qi really didn't get where he is because of the support of his elders."

Seeing this, Yang Ming looked helpless. To be honest, he didn't believe it either before dealing with Bai Qi, but after a month of contact in the desolate Gobi Desert, Yang Ming finally confirmed Bai Qi's monstrous talent.

It was quite obvious that Lin Wumu, no, and even most of the professors and masters present, were not very willing to believe what he said.

Just then, a giant dragon descended from the sky. Its immense power caused everyone to stagger. Several old professors' expressions changed, and they all summoned their pet beasts to defend themselves.

"This is... a green dragon?"

Lin Wumu's expression changed. Although he had long heard that Bai Qi had a legendary guardian dragon by his side, he never expected that Bai Qi would actually come to his door riding a green dragon.

This is a total slap in the face!

"Wait, this isn't a green dragon, it's... an insect dragon?!"

Yang Ming was the first to withstand the dragon's might, but upon seeing the strangely shaped giant dragon in front of him, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Insect dragon?"

Lin Wumu's expression changed, and he looked up at the enormous creature in front of him.

Blue-gold scales, chitinous carapace covered with mysterious patterns, compound eyes and stingers of the insectoid head, and broad dragon wings.

The characteristics of dragons and insectoids are perfectly blended in this creature, exuding endless charm.

"It really is a bug dragon!"

A flicker of excitement flashed in Lin Wumu's eyes, and he reached out his hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to touch it.

The unity of insects and dragons was not only the long-cherished wish of the first dean, but also the wish of all of them. Seeing the creature in front of them that perfectly overlapped with their dreams, they were naturally extremely excited.

However, at that moment, the insect dragon suddenly took a step back, slowly lowered its body, and then several figures jumped off the insect dragon's body.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Yang."

Bai Qi greeted Yang Ming apologetically, and Yang Ming then realized what was happening and replied, "It's alright, it's alright, we just arrived too."

As he spoke, Yang Ming glanced at the cordyceps beside Bai Qi, then at Liu Bei beside Bai Qi, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "This... um, pet beast is..."

"Didn't Master Yang just meet with our dean yesterday? How come he doesn't even recognize the dean's pet beast?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei smiled faintly and introduced, "Isn't this our Dean's five pets?"

"Five pets? That Great Sun Dragon Cicada?"

Liu Bei was somewhat taken aback, clearly unable to connect the cordyceps with the little insect from before.

"Indeed, but the current racial name of Epsilon is Azure Sun Dream Dragon."

Bai Qi silently corrected Yang Ming's statement, but this only made Yang Ming more shocked.

Yesterday it was just a little bug, how come it's turned into a giant dragon today? No, it's a bug-dragon?

Lin Wumu stepped forward and said, "Azure Sun Dream Dragon? Could this be the latest research result of the Super God Evolution Research Institute?"

"If I had to name it, it could be considered a research achievement of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, since it's a pet beast that our director bred himself."

Liu Bei chuckled and said, "I wonder what Professor Lin's insights are?"

"Did your dean train them himself?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wumu looked at Bai Qi, noticing the youthful innocence still lingering on his face, and then glanced at Liu Bei, who was smiling broadly beside him, becoming even more certain of his guess.

"The Super God Evolution Research Institute really went to great lengths to train Dean Bai!"

Seeing Lin Wumu's knowing look, Bai Qi became even more puzzled.

"Uncle Liu, wasn't our entrance a bit too impolite? Why does Professor Lin seem to have a problem with me?"

Bai Qi originally planned to come by carriage, but Liu Bei suggested that Bai Qi come by cordyceps and not to conceal his aura.

Although Bai Qi didn't understand the reason, he figured Liu Bei was definitely more professional in this area, so he agreed.

But now it seems that we've angered them?

"It's not that they're being rude, it's just that they don't believe in your achievements, Dean."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "After all, the gap between your age and your achievements is just too great, Dean."

"Age and achievements? Just because of that, I thought I had a grudge against them. Oh well, it's fine now."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly understood and, without further thought, put the cordyceps away amidst the reluctant gazes of the professors.

The look in these people's eyes was terrifying. Bai Qi was worried that if he left the cordyceps out to dry, they might swallow it whole.

After Bai Qi put away the cordyceps, Yang Ming also came to his senses and said, "Dean Bai, Master Liu, and Brother Zhuge, our dean and the legendary tomb guardian are already waiting inside. Please follow me."

"This is troublesome."

Bai Qi nodded slightly and followed Yang Mingchao into the Cangzhe Academy. Although Lin Wumu and the others were very curious about cordyceps, they had to suppress their thoughts for the time being as guests and followed behind.

Compared to yesterday's quietness, Cangzhe Academy was much more lively today. Students in school uniforms were all carrying their insect pets and walking in the same direction.

"What kind of event does your school have?"

Bai Qi quickly noticed the abnormality and asked.

"That's right, today is the insect fighting competition that our Cangzhe Academy holds every semester. It's designed to allow students to showcase their achievements over the past few months and broaden their horizons."

"An insect fighting tournament? What a coincidence?"

Bai Qi glanced at Yang Ming curiously. Inviting him over at this time, could it be that he was planning to have him participate in this insect fighting tournament?

"Well, after I came back, the dean urged us to invite Dean Bai to participate in this insect fighting tournament. This would not only enhance mutual understanding, but also make it easier for us to discuss future cooperation."

When the topic of cooperation came up, Yang Ming immediately perked up and was about to discuss it in detail with Bai Qi when Bai Qi quietly took a step back and pushed Liu Bei forward.

"Master Yang, our dean isn't very interested in these trivial matters. How about I talk about it instead?"

Liu Bei looked at Yang Ming with a smile, his face full of the shrewdness of a businessman, while Zhuge Chen, standing to the side, also pricked up his ears, looking eager to learn.

"Zhuge Chen, what are you doing? Uncle Liu has already spoken, so we don't need to worry about this anymore, right?"

"My dad sent me here so that I could learn business skills from Uncle Liu. How could I miss such a great opportunity?"

"Okay, I thought you came to inspect the construction progress of the branch campus."

"Of course not."

"Okay, then you can continue."
