Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 749 The Mad Clown

Red Serpent Valley.

A giant snake, spewing thick smoke and reeking of sulfur, emerged from the valley, warily eyeing its enemy.

"Bai Qi, are you really sure everything is alright?"

Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi with some concern and said, "This is a legendary beast after all. Why don't we let Alpha come out?"

"Alpha is still in seclusion; there's no need to disturb him."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Besides, it's just a legendary level one beast, there's no need to be so nervous."

"Teacher Bai is so handsome!"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Zhang Youren's eyes lit up, and he looked at Bai Qi with eyes full of admiration.

"Never follow your example, Teacher Bai; you'll die a violent death."

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Chen immediately suppressed Zhang Youren's little ideas. Seeing Bai Qi's helplessness, he put on his mask and rushed towards the Purgatory Serpent.

sizzle...

Seeing that a mere imperial creature dared to offend him so, the Infernal Serpent was immediately enraged. Ignoring the lingering aura on Bai Qi, it attacked first and spewed a thick cloud of smoke at Bai Qi.

The thick smoke moved slowly but covered a wide area, and within it, flickering flames could be clearly seen. As soon as it was spewed from the mouth of the Infernal Serpent, the temperature of the surrounding air soared, and a pungent sulfur smell could be detected.

"Such a heavy tone!"

Bai Qi, his face full of disgust, lightly traced a line on the mask, and the Wheel of Fate spun rapidly, stopping steadily on the number five.

"Araki Shield? Ita, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Bai Qi, who was about to unleash his might with the Overlord Spear, was taken aback upon seeing this and immediately wanted to switch.

"Hehehe... Master, all of this is the choice of fate."

The voice of the absurd clown entered Bai Qi's mind, but Bai Qi was not happy at all and could only raise the Araki Shield to withstand the attack.

The scorching smoke instantly enveloped Bai Qi, and one could still vaguely see streaks of magma rushing towards him like fiery snakes.

The skills of legendary beasts are certainly not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Seeing this, Bai Qi instinctively raised his Araki Shield to block. The impact of the fire serpent was perfectly absorbed by the Araki Shield, causing no injury to Bai Qi whatsoever.

"Luckily, the defense is strong enough, otherwise the attempt to show off would have failed."

Bai Qi quietly exhaled, intending to use the Absurd Clown's other skills to retaliate, but he saw that the fire snakes were swallowed up the moment they touched the Araki Shield.

"Araki Shun has this skill?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, looking at the few extra red gems on the Araki Shield, as if he had figured something out.

"Hehehe... I told you long ago, everything is a choice of fate."

The absurd clown chuckled and said, "There'll be more surprises later~"

"surprise?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately became interested. After advancing to the Legendary level, he had been entangled in various matters and the battles he encountered were mostly high-intensity. He mostly relied on Alpha to resolve these situations and had not properly developed the skills of the Absurd Clown.

"Perfect timing. Since I don't have much to do lately, I'll take this opportunity to familiarize myself with Ita's skills."

Seeing the fire snakes and smoke still rushing towards him, Bai Qi used his shield as a weapon and swung it around rapidly.

"Teacher Zhuge, why hasn't Teacher Bai come out yet? Could something have happened?"

Seeing Bai Qi completely shrouded in smoke, Zhang Youren gradually became worried, while Zhuge Chen, on the other hand, no longer felt the initial concern.

"Don't worry, Gamma isn't worried, so everything must be fine."

Zhuge Chen pointed to Gamma, who was calmly guarding them beside him, and said.

"That seems to be true."

Zhang Youren nodded slightly, and then he saw the smoke suddenly gather rapidly in the center, as if some monster was sucking up the smoke.

Finally, the smoke cleared, revealing Bai Qi's figure. In Bai Qi's hands, he carried a huge shield that was more than two people tall and inlaid with deep red gems.

"Holy crap, how did it get so heavy!"

Bai Qi's muscles tensed as he struggled to hold the shield up so it wouldn't fall, slowly aiming it at the somewhat bewildered Purgatory Serpent in the distance.

sizzle...

The Hellfire Serpent flicked its tongue, looking at the unharmed Bai Qi. Seemingly realizing something, it opened its mouth wide and spat out a series of red fangs that rushed towards Bai Qi.

But at that moment, Bai Qi suddenly slammed his hand on the shield, and the deep red gems shattered, transforming into a deep red serpent that charged toward the Purgatory Serpent.

This long snake resembled the Hellfire Serpent, its entire body enveloped in sulfur and smoke. Even when attacked by its fangs, it quickly returned to its original form and continued its charge towards the Hellfire Serpent.

Seeing this, the Infernal Serpent simply stopped using its skills and twisted its massive body to meet the attack head-on, attempting to break free of the crimson serpent.

But the moment the Infernal Serpent touched the Crimson Serpent, the serpent suddenly spread out and enveloped the Infernal Serpent.

Then, with a deafening roar, the crimson serpent exploded, and the infernal serpent trapped inside had no chance to escape, taking the brunt of the impact head-on.

"No wonder it's immune to shocks; it absorbs everything, and then releases it all back out?"

Seeing the Hellfire Serpent emerge from the smoke in a disheveled state, Bai Qi couldn't help but grin.

He really hadn't explored it properly before, and hadn't even discovered that Araki Shun had such powerful abilities.

Absorb and release, so wouldn't energy-type attacks be ineffective against him?

"If Araki Shun has this ability, the others can't be any worse, right?"

Bai Qi stroked his chin, watching the Infernal Serpent roar and charge at him, and spun the Wheel of Fate once more.

This time, the wheel of fate responded to Bai Qi's action, and Araki Shield instantly switched to White Jade Slip.

"A white jade slip? Very well, let's see what kind of ability it has."

Bai Qi made a light stroke on the white jade slip and disappeared from the spot, appearing above the head of the Purgatory Demon Serpent.

Then, following his intuition, Bai Qi drew a rune on the white jade slip, and a huge rune array immediately appeared in the sky, pressing down hard on the Purgatory Demon Serpent.

Rune Gravity!

"Runes transformed into rune arrays? Isn't that a bit overpowered?"

Bai Qi grinned and drew several more runes on the white jade slip. The same number of rune arrays appeared in the sky one after another, directly attacking the Purgatory Demon Serpent.

"This ability seems even stronger than the Dharma Emperor's Book of Ten Thousand Laws."

Seeing the Hellfire Serpent dazed and confused by the array of runes, Bai Qi spun the wheel again, and the Overlord Spear was now in his hand.

"You despicable human, how dare you humiliate me like this! Die!"

The Infernal Serpent, having suffered repeated blows, was completely controlled by rage. Its Crimson Serpent Domain expanded instantly, carrying endless magma, and rushed straight towards Bai Qi.

"Legendary Realm?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, but his body moved involuntarily. He raised his spear and transformed into a long rainbow, rushing straight towards the Purgatory Demon Serpent.

Although Bai Qi started later, his speed was like starlight, and he arrived in front of the Purgatory Serpent's domain in an instant.

Suddenly, a tiny point of starlight appeared on the tip of the Overlord Spear. This starlight was so small that it was almost negligible compared to the Crimson Serpent Domain, which was radiating a dazzling red light.

But even this tiny spark of starlight caused the Crimson Serpent Domain to collapse upon contact, failing to even provide the slightest resistance.

Following the starlight was Bai Qi, who charged forward like a dragon, wielding a long spear.

A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon!

The Overlord Spear, which is clearly only an Emperor-level pet skill, actually broke through the domain of a legendary ferocious beast!

Without the protection of the domain, the Purgatory Serpent was unable to stop Bai Qi's actions and could only let Bai Qi pierce its forehead with a spear.

Fortunately, Bai Qi still remembered his original purpose and stopped after the Overlord Spear pierced the scales of the Purgatory Serpent.

"Breaking through the domain...is this some kind of armor-piercing PLUS version?"

Bai Qi felt the power of the Overlord Spear and was deeply shocked.

While it's true that he didn't explore the absurd clown theme much before, this is still an exaggeration.

Could it have been upgraded again recently?

"Hehehe... Master, you guessed right. The power of the Wheel of Fate will improve. As for how much it will improve, that depends on your experiences, Master."

The absurd clown fell off Bai Qi's face, letting out a wild laugh, and Bai Qi immediately realized what was happening.

No wonder I felt those abilities were a bit unusual; now it seems the Absurd Joker learned them from the people around him.

Absorption + explosion, this should be gamma.

The evolution of runes may be the Law Emperor's Book of Myriad Laws.

As for this final armor-piercing attack, perhaps it is Alpha's sword of annihilation?

The ability to adjust itself based on the surrounding environment—could it be the power of the Spirit of Revelation?

Bai Qi stroked his chin, pondering the underlying principles, while the Hellfire Serpent beneath him quietly distanced itself from him.

"Gagaga... Hey audience member, where do you want to go?"

The Absurd Clown immediately noticed the Infernal Serpent's movements. With a flick of his right hand, a playing card shot out and pierced directly into the Infernal Serpent's body.

However, the body of this Hellfire Serpent had become extremely fragile for some reason, and the moment it was hit by the playing card, it turned into countless fragments and scattered.

"molt?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and immediately prepared to give chase, but the absurd clown was faster, transforming himself into a chain of judgment and precisely locking onto a small red snake beneath the tattered skin.

"You're asking for it!"

The purgatory serpent, having failed to escape, immediately turned around and moved even faster than before. However, before it could get close to the absurd clown, its body suddenly convulsed, and it froze on the spot, unable to move.

"Teacher Zhuge, is this guy really a legendary ferocious beast? He looks so weak..."

Seeing the absurd clown easily control the Hell Serpent, Zhang Youren immediately raised questions.

"This is indeed a legendary ferocious beast. As for its weakness... remember one principle: never use your teacher Bai's battle record to measure the strength of the enemy, otherwise you will easily suffer losses."

Zhuge Chen patted Zhang Youren on the shoulder earnestly and said, "I've known this guy for so long, and I've never seen the difference in levels work on him."

"Oh~"

Zhang Youren nodded, but his eyes were still full of doubt.

Is fighting against opponents of a higher level really that simple?
