Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 209: Chapter 205: Mecha Learning Ancient Martial Arts?

Translator: 549690339

Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang with reverence. Although he knew that a Beast Master’s spirit power and constitution improved with each advancement, Bai Qi himself had maximized these improvements at every level. However, he had not expected such a significant transformation upon reaching Legend.

From the energy Bai Heguang exerted earlier, not to mention the Wind Snake, Bai Qi also felt some pressure.

This feeling was more than mere enhancement. It felt like a fundamental metamorphosis of life itself.

Bai Qi stroked his chin. If Bai Heguang continued to level up, would he evolve into an entity as powerful as a legendary creature?

Even stronger, perhaps?

While Bai Qi pondered this mystery, Bai Heguang had already invested his spirit power in the Spirit-Control Orb, then tapped it on the head of the Wind Snake.

The same array launched, visibly different from the initial version. The speed of imprinting was much quicker, swiftly forming a full contract on the Wind Snake’s head. Bai Heguang also felt the connection between himself and the Wind Snake.

“Impressive, it indeed ignores the contract slot.”

Bai Heguang tossed the Spirit-Control Orb back to Bai Qi, saying, “However, for safety, do not casually use the Spirit-Control Orb before you become a Legend. The same goes for other Beast Masters.”

“Understood.”

Bai Qi nodded. With Bai Heguang and Bai Qiucha personally corroborating the findings, it was confirmed that the Spirit-Control Orb could be used to contract a beast without needing a contract slot.

However, this only proved that the Spirit-Control Orb could bypass the need for a contract slot, not that it wouldn’t occupy one.

As for testing it, Bai Qi was unwilling to take the risk, and he wouldn’t readily let other Beast Masters risk it either. After all, beasts contracted using a Spirit-Control Orb couldn’t be quickly upgraded the way a Rune Contract allowed.

Nevertheless, Bai Qi hadn’t planned to give up his research.

If Beast Masters couldn’t use it, could people without talent? Perhaps once he perfected the technology, he might even be able to surprise Zhuge Chen when he returned.

Listening to their conversation, Yi Yu suddenly said, “Bai Qi, can I see that Spirit-Control Orb?”

Bai Qi was taken aback, but handed the Spirit-Control Orb to Yi Yu. The moment he received the orb, Yi Yu’s eyes went white and his aura became elusive.

However, Yi Yu snapped back to reality quickly and handed the Spirit-Control Orb back to Bai Qi.

“This is truly a groundbreaking invention. If you keep researching, Bai Qi, it’s bound to bring revolutionary changes to the Federation.”

Yi Yu was generous with his praise, then suddenly turned serious. “Bai Qi, I now formally, on behalf of the Federation, invite you to collaborate to make the Spirit-Control Orb accessible to all those in the Federation without talent. Are you willing?”

“You can rest assured, the Federation will give you a satisfactory price.”

Seeing Yi Yu in such earnest, Bai Qi was slightly taken aback.

Theoretically, indeed, the Spirit-Control Orb could be used by those without talent. But he had never thought about spreading it across the entire Federation.

After all, it was almost impossible to achieve this with his own power.

But if he collaborated with the Federation, it would be quite possible.

However, he was a member of the Beast Master Association, and it seemed inappropriate to bypass the Association to directly cooperate with the Federation?

The key point was, Yi Yu had suddenly proposed such a big trade that Bai Qi felt unprepared…

Spreading throughout the Federation… how much money would that mean?

Bai Qi contemplated it for a moment before saying, “I have no objections to making it available to those without talent. However, I would like it to be distributed or sold through the Beast Master Association.”

“That’s fair.”

Yi Yu remained neutral, glancing at the expressionless Bai Heguang. “In that case, we’ll discuss this more thoroughly when this matter is over. After all, something as consequential as this, our Director and President Zhao would be very interested in.”

“Alright.”

Bai Qi nodded, breathing a sigh of relief.

Securing such a big deal so spontaneously, Bai Qi, despite his two lives’ worth of experience, felt a bit overwhelmed.

This was a business arrangement with the Federation. Compared to this, the Rune Evolution Patent seemed trivial.

Yes, once he got back, he should replace all of his pets’ food with epic materials.

Don’t ask why. The answer is, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

“Bai Qi, you really amaze me.”

Observing Bai Qi and the others conduct their business, Wang Huai finally couldn’t help but speak.

He thought Bai Qi’s ability to train beasts was already phenomenal. Yet he didn’t expect Bai Qi to also invent something like this. It was indeed beyond his imagination.

“Bai Qi, we Baili Brothers would gladly acknowledge you as…”

“The best!”

The Baili Brothers both gave Bai Qi a thumbs up in unison. Tang Miao even moved up to Bai Qi with a sycophantic smile on his face. “Bai Qi, we have fought side by side before. Consider giving me one?”

“Sorry, Beast Masters are not given free samples. If you have objections…”

Bai Qi nodded towards Bai Heguang, saying, “Please consult my teacher.”

“Ah, forget 1 asked.”

Tang Miao lowered his head in dejection, looking as if he had just lost his favorite doll, which left Bai Qi feeling awkward.

“Let’s set aside the Spirit-Control Orb for now, and try to challenge the Gemini Tower.”

Bai Heguang stepped onto the Jiuyou Darkbird, looked at Yi Yu, and said, “Minister Yi, I’ll leave the two of them in your care. I won’t be long.”

Yi Yu nodded, saying, “Then we’ll have to impose on Bai Chuanqi.”

The moment his voice faded, Bai Heguang disappeared again, heading straight towards the Black Python Tribe.

Watching the back of Bai Heguang’s disappearing figure, Bai Qi had a thoughtful look. He glanced at Yi Yu, who had a laissez-faire expression and a faint smile, and felt a warning in his heart.

They weren’t far from the Black Python Tribe. The Tribe must have noticed the activation of the Black and White Towers. If a transcendent creature were to emerge, they would be wiped out. Yet Yi Yu seemed completely indifferent, as if he had known that Bai Heguang was going to show up.

“This guy, he must have predicted this with his pet, that’s freakishly absurd.”

“Apologies, I did foresee some images, but it also depends on the choices you make.”

As Bai Qi was muttering to himself, Yi Yu suddenly spoke up, a sly smile stretching across his face.

“After all, the future isn’t carved in stone.”

Oh, how the hell did he know what I was thinking!

Startled, Bai Qi broke into a cold sweat. He wanted to leave this place immediately and headed straight towards the great black and white door.

In a flash, Bai Qi felt entangled by two varied forces as if guiding him to make a choice. But whenever Bai Qi had an idea, the energies ignored him.

“What does it mean? What are they playing at? Is this a tactic?”

Suspended in this invisible space, Bai Qi was eager to break away but seeing that Beta hadn’t given a warning, he knew there wasn’t imminent danger. He continued to wait.

“Failure of the previous challenger, next challenger, step forward.”

After an unknown period, a robotic voice suddenly echoed in Bai Qi’s ear. The environment in front of him changed abruptly, placing him in a world engulfed by a bright white light.

At the center of this world stood a huge rune mech draped in black.

“This time it’s not a challenge, but a boss fight? With the white world and the black mech, am I currently in the Black Tower or the White Tower?”

Looking at the motionless black mech, Bai Qi seemed to have an epiphany. He immediately summoned Alpha and the other four pets.

Clatter, clatter.

(Boss, is this the enemy?)

Woof woof!

(This big guy looks familiar. Can I dismantle him?)

“What a sophisticated build, dismantling it would certainly be helpful.”

Chuff chuff!

(Master, Gamma senses a strange odor, its energy must taste great!)

Gurgle gurgle!

(Master, am I supposed to transform like this?)

Having just appeared, the four pets displayed strong curiosity towards the black mech. If not for Bai Qi still being around, they probably would’ve begun tearing apart the mech.

“No rush, let’s observe the situation first.”

The rules of this mystical place weren’t clear yet, but one thing was certain: Bai Qiucha or Li Xusheng; one of them had lost.

Although Bai Qi’s performance has been more dazzling than the two so far, he can’t say for sure that he could’ve beaten either of them in a fight. Since both of them lost, this mech must be quite formidable.”

“Detected a large amount of energy value, adjusting Black Sky Mech data…”

“Adjustment completed, combat power level: Five.”

“Begin battle!”

With a mechanized sound, the Black Sky Mech suddenly sprang into action. A complicated array was formed on its chest, with countless black energies rapidly converging into a beam of light that rushed towards Bai Qi and the others.

“Damn, this mech has no honor, it’s launching a sneak attack!”

Bai Qi cursed under his breath, and Gamma immediately reacted, puffing up his body to protect Bai Qi and the others. Meanwhile, the husky constructed a hemispherical metal shield that enveloped all of them.

As for Alpha, before he was enveloped by Gamma and the husky, he sprinted towards the Black Sky Mech to chase after it.

“Detected a powerful destructive device, changing form.”

Seeing Alpha swinging the Sword of Death and swiftly approaching, the Black Sky Mech suddenly executed a startling maneuver, stepping off the ground and floating up, walking step by step into the air.

“Schuck, Beta, take him down!”

Spotting the opportunity, Bai Qi, who had been waiting anxiously, quickly commanded the husky. The Etherium Liquid Gold was distorted, once again turning into a group of turrets and brutally bombing the brown mech in the air. At the same time, countless self-exploding wolves pounced towards the Black Sky Mech.

With the bombardment from the huskies, the Black Sky Mech instantly attempted to change its direction and withdraw, only to find that Alpha, who should have been clueless on the ground, had sprouted a pair of bone wings. Brought by a fierce wind, Alpha chased after him. Although he hadn’t quite approached the Mech, the wind wound was already clanging on its exterior.

“We are surrounded, initiating the defense system.”

A glyph flashed on the body of the Black Sky Mech, and a dark green protective cover suddenly expanded from its body, enveloping it completely. Alpha’s Thunder Flame Power hit the thin protective layer, and surprisingly, it didn’t cause even a ripple, and it disappeared on the spot.

Before Bai Qi could react in surprise, the Black Sky Mech suddenly stretched out its right arm towards Alpha, the arm swiftly transforming into a cannon. Inside the cannon was none other than the Thunder Flame Power!

Is it borrowing power from heaven and earth?

Grand shift of universe?

Is the Rune Mech from the time of the Law Emperor also studying ancient martial arts?
