Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 696 Time Residue

Seeing Bai Qi's insistence, the legendary sea beasts such as the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon, though somewhat reluctant, still put away their tridents.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, the trident was indeed the most lethal weapon for these sea monsters; it was just that they used to be the ones being attacked, and now they had become the attackers.

However, despite their acceptance, the way the sea monsters like the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon used their weapons was rather clumsy; in their hands, the trident was basically no different from a stick.

"It seems it will take some time before the sea creatures get used to weapons."

Seeing this, Xiao Mu smiled faintly, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "I came up with this method, so I'll leave it to you."

"As expected."

Bai Qi snapped his fingers, and Alpha was immediately summoned, also holding a trident in its hand.

"Xiao Chuanqi, would you mind giving Alpha the position of head coach of the Deep Sea Grand League?"

Although Alpha is accustomed to using a sword, swordsmanship inherently encompasses the essence of various weapons, so using a trident is no challenge for Alpha.

It's enough to teach these sea monsters that basically don't use martial arts.

"sure."

Xiao Mu laughed and said, "It was definitely the right decision to bring you into the Deep Sea Alliance back then. You've helped us solve so many problems right away. I'm even thinking of suggesting that you join the Deep Sea Council now."

"Please don't, Xiao Chuanqi, please dispel that idea. I just got lucky and made a name for myself."

Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly. He already had enough positions. He only came to the Deep Sea Alliance to escape disaster. As for this research, it was just out of interest.

If he were to join the Deep Sea Council and be busy with miscellaneous official duties all day like Xiao Mu, he might as well go back to Gusu City and become the president.

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Bai Heguang shook his head and said, "There's no need to belittle yourself. Your contributions to humanity and even the seas are obvious to all. Being overly humble is just like being proud."

"Uh, okay."

Bai Qi scratched his head, almost forgetting that his teacher was still there; he wasn't buying into any of that modesty.

"As for joining the Deep Sea Council, that's really unnecessary; your personality isn't suited for that."

Bai Heguang paused for a moment, then said, "Alpha's strength is now almost on par with Jiuyou's. You can now spare some attention for your other pets."

"The battles you are facing now are very intense. If the difference in strength between your pets is too great, it will actually be a burden to you."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Although his pets all possessed the ability to fight beyond their level, the difference in strength between them was indeed a bit exaggerated.

The strongest Alpha is already at Legendary Tier 1, while the weakest Cordyceps and Jetta are still stuck at Monarch Tier.

Although Jetta and Cordyceps performed well, they struggled in high-level matches.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi unconsciously rubbed his chin.

Now that the Cordyceps has found a way to cultivate the Moonlight Ancient Tree, Bai Qi estimates that once the Moonlight Ancient Tree grows, the Cordyceps should be able to advance.

As for Jeta, barring any unforeseen circumstances, if he were to acquire a sufficiently powerful wind attribute skill, achieving perfect mastery of the four attributes of earth, water, wind, and fire, he should also be able to advance.

"But where can we find a skill comparable to the blessing of the Three Elemental Realms? Do we really have to find the Wind Elemental Realm?"

Bai Qi had a headache. He had long ago asked the association and even the Thirteenth Bureau to help find traces of the Wind Element Realm, but the four elemental realms had disappeared for so many years that if they could be found, they would have been found long ago, so there was no news.

It seems the only option is the brute-force method: first find a wind-attribute skill, then upgrade it little by little. With the Evolution Egg, as long as there are enough resources, the feasibility isn't too low, it's just a bit troublesome.

If all else fails, let Jeta drink more awakening potions; maybe one day he'll be able to force it up.

"Don't feel pressured. Your lineup is top-tier even among legendary teams. Take it slow."

Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your teacher also maintained this state for a long time before cultivating the second legendary creature."

After a pause, Xiao Mu smiled and said, "But to be honest, I'm really curious about which titled legend you plan to challenge after you've raised your second legendary beast?"

"How about we challenge Minghuang directly? Your Three Lives Calamity Wolves can barely be considered undead, two undead creatures, which meets the challenge rules for undead titles."

Upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly.

Just kidding, challenging a teacher? He doesn't have any masochistic tendencies.

"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still have a research project that I haven't completely finished. I need to finish it quickly so I can focus on raising my pet beasts."

Bai Qi glanced at Bai Heguang with a hint of resentment, fearing that the other party might say, "Looking forward to your challenge."

Fortunately, Bai and Guang did not mean that, and nodded slightly without objection.

Bai Qi's cultivation had long been on the right track, so there was no need to worry about being distracted by other things. Moreover, he had to admit that Bai Qi's research was of great help to the Federation.

Yin~

Just then, a dragon's roar attracted everyone's attention, and the sea beasts such as Mingdian, who possessed dragon blood, unconsciously lowered their heads toward the direction of the Dragon Emperor's tomb.

"Is it Delta?"

Bai Qi's body trembled as he felt a warm current flowing into his body through the curse mark on the back of his hand, cleansing his already powerful body and soul.

This feeling... could it be that Delta has evolved?

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. It had been more than a month since they arrived in the sea, and Delta had been staying in the Dragon Emperor's Tomb without coming out. Judging from this, he had indeed gained something.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi disregarded everything else and rushed directly towards the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, with Bai Heguang and the others following behind.

When the group arrived at the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, they saw a long river stretching across it, seemingly endless with no beginning or end.

"The river of time?"

Bai Qi recognized the River of Time at a glance, and the constantly trembling Time Secret Realm within the Beast Taming Space also confirmed Bai Qi's idea, attracting the bullskin snake out as well.

"I seem to smell the scent of my own kind. Let me go and see!"

The bullskin snake was clearly excited, flapping its wings as if trying to rush into the River of Time, but then it saw a black dragon fly out of the River of Time and land in front of them.

"Delta?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see Delta emerge from the River of Time. It seemed that Delta had gained more than he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi carefully examined Delta. Her body size had increased several sizes compared to before, and even just by looking at her, he could sense her powerful strength.

Most importantly, Bai Qi sensed an ancient aura emanating from Delta, as if what stood before him was not Delta, but a divine dragon from ancient times.

But before Bai Qi could inquire about Delta's condition, several more black dragons flew out, looking exactly like Delta. Bai Qi could even sense the presence of a contract emanating from them.

"A clone? An illusion?"

"It's not an illusion; it must be a remnant of time."

Bai Heguang, being knowledgeable and experienced, quickly guessed the truth.

"I once read in an ancient book that the Time Guardian Bronze Dragon can travel freely between different times, which could easily lead to two or even more versions of itself appearing at the same point in time."

"However, the fundamental law of the world is that two selves cannot coexist at the same time. Therefore, the one that travels from another time will disappear quickly. But if one has a deep enough understanding of the laws of time, the selves at two different points in time can coexist temporarily."

After listening to Bai Heguang's explanation, Bai Qi suddenly understood and said, "So, Delta has comprehended the laws of time?"

Bai Heguang nodded slightly, and Bai Qi immediately released his mental energy to check Delta's condition.

【Name】：Dragon of the Sky (Delta)

[Attributes]: Time, Space

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Emperor

[Growth Level]: Tier 6, Level 8

[Skills]: Void Hunter (Immortal-level - Proficient), Time Traveler (Immortal-level - Master), Laws of Time (Law Skill -1.3%)

[Energy Value]: 9E2400E

[Status]: Can Evolve

……

"Just as I thought!"

Bai Qi grinned, still thinking of upgrading Cordyceps and Jeta first, but he didn't expect Delta to take the lead. Not only did Delta upgrade to the intermediate Emperor level, but it also comprehended the high-end law technique of the Law of Time ahead of time.

With only 1.3%, it can simultaneously create three time remnants. If this were increased further, wouldn't it be able to summon even more?

Although it doesn't last long, the residual power of time is not weakened like that of a clone; it truly replicates the strength of the original body.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but imagine Delta summoning countless versions of himself to gang up on the enemy.

Okay, from now on, any one-on-one matches will be handled by Delta. No third party should interfere except for the two players in the match.

What? You're saying I'm bullying the few because there are many of us? Come on, find me someone other than you and me. If you can find someone, I'll admit defeat!

Hehehe...

Bai Qi was enjoying himself to himself, leaving the cowhide snake speechless for a moment. But after seeing the River of Time gradually dissipate, it immediately pounced on it.

But the moment the bullskin snake came into contact with the River of Time, the River of Time suddenly dissipated, and the bullskin snake crashed straight into the entrance of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, looking rather disheveled.

But it was precisely because of this that Delta, who had been in a daze since she appeared, suddenly woke up, shook her head, and the time remnants around her also disappeared abruptly.

Plurp plurp!

(Master, Delta has seen some things in the river of time!)

"Something?"

Bai Qi frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart. After receiving Delta's specific information, his expression changed, and he turned his head sharply to look at Bai Heguang.

"Teacher, one month from now..."

Bai Qi was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Bai Heguang was also looking at his phone with a serious expression.

"According to the Thirteenth Bureau, the tribe will launch a large-scale attack from the western part of the Federation in half a month."

"War is about to begin!"
