Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 428: Chapter 424: Breaking into Twilight Tomb Again

“Leap Evolution?”

Zhuge Chen mumbled to himself, skipping directly to the mature form and bypassing the intermediate growth steps, was that why it was called Leap Evolution?

“Little rascal, this old man truly bows to you.”

Professor Chu looked at the Storm Rat that had already finished evolving, and suddenly felt truly old.

“This is just the initial version, even if it was designed specifically for the Storm Rat, there are still many flaws. If we want to implement it broadly, the work required might be larger than that for Rune Evolution and Armament Evolution.”

Having said this, Bai Qi looked somewhat embarrassed as he addressed Professor Chu and Professor Dong: “When the time comes, I may have to trouble you both again.”

“It’s alright, this is our responsibility after all.”

Professor Dong shook his head, “However, let’s first have a look at the results of your specific research.”

Bai Qi nodded and looked towards the Storm Rat in the testing room, which had successfully evolved.

No, it should be called a lower-ranking Thunder King, an Overlord Stormmouse now.

[Name]: Overlord Stormmouse

[Nature]: Thunder

[Bloodline Level]: Lower-Ranking King

[Description]: Evolved from the Storm Rat King, it can bathe in celestial thunderbolts without getting injured, and it has an extremely quarrelsome personality and prefers to live alone.

…

“Storm Rat? No, Overlord Stormmouse, have you really evolved?”

Bai Qiucha looked with some surprise at the Overlord Stormmouse in front of her until she felt the intimate connection between them, confirming that the creature in front of her was indeed her Overlord Stormmouse.

“Overlord?”

The Overlord Stormmouse also found its transformation curious. Upon seeing Bai Qiucha approach, it couldn’t help but release a bolt of lightning.

“Phew~ Such a familiar feeling, it seems it really worked.”

Bai Qiucha, who had been blackened by the electricity, exhaled a puff of black smoke, but her face was full of satisfaction.

The Storm Rat had indeed evolved just like that.

“Indeed, it seems to be quite successful. But it would be better to find a spirit controller to try it out next time because the spiritual power of a beast master is still much stronger than that of a spirit controller.”

Bai Qi looked at the data collected by Schuck and nodded satisfactorily.

“Let’s try it with Garulu. I don’t think anyone among the spirit controllers is more familiar with this than I am.”

Zhuge Chen volunteered with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Although the Mecha Dragon Baby Beast was his later contract, it had already surpassed Garulu in combat power after evolution. If he could also enhance Garulu, it would be nothing less than perfect.

“Then don’t regret it, as I haven’t grasped this evolution method fully yet.”

Bai Qi shrugged. This was not him being modest. The complexity of the Soul Charm was a bit over the top. Even though he thought about using the routine of Armament Evolution to complete the missing parts of the Soul Charm, at present, he could only extract the effect of resonating the human and pet beast’s souls with each other and thereby stimulate evolution.

If Luo Xiang hadn’t come over during the process to help provide some alternate ideas, Bai Qi estimated he would have needed another three or four days to get to where he was now.

As for fully understanding the Soul Charm, there was a lot of time that needed to be invested.

“It’s not a matter of regret. If it succeeds, I think all the spirit controllers will thank you.”

When Zhuge Chen said this, both Professor Dong and Professor Chu nodded slightly in agreement.

Spirit-Control Orb, Armament Evolution, and now this Leap Evolution.

If these three researches were fully promoted to the entire federation, it would truly become a nation of beast control.

During their discussion, a dark red light suddenly bloomed around the Overlord Stormmouse, which then devolved back to a Storm Rat.

“It lasted for one minute and thirty-eight seconds. Considering this was its first evolution, it performed quite well.”

Bai Qi glanced at the time recording by Schuck, “This Leap Evolution revolves around the compatibility between humans and pet beasts. Simply put, the better your relationship with the Storm Rat, Cha, the deeper the bond, the longer the evolved state will last.”

“Um, how about we call it Bond Evolution instead?”

“Bond?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha had an epiphany. She held the tired Storm Rat, which had just devolved, in her arms. Her eyes flashed with an unprecedented shine.

Initially, she had just wanted to experience the feeling of having multiple contracted pet beasts. However, it seemed that the Storm Rat could now fight beside her.

“Now, because you are a beast master, your spiritual power is stronger so the duration of evolution will be relatively longer. But, for safety’s sake, you can also store power in the Storm Rat in advance. Think of it as a battery.”

Bai Qi pointed to the new armor on the Storm Rat, “I have updated its armor, which should hold up for a while. As for further updates, it need not concern me.”

At this point, Bai Qi couldn’t help but yawn, “I can’t go on, I need to get a good long sleep. Otherwise, I’ll drop dead.”

“Don’t rush, you still haven’t helped me design the Leap Evolution armament for my Garulu.”

Zhuge Chen hurriedly stopped Bai Qi, “And there’s the matter of spiritual power. Even if we spirit controllers store power in advance, these mechanical armaments do have their storage limits.”

“Then why not get two portable spiritual power storage devices? Haven’t you used power banks before?”

Bai Qi sighed and pointed to Schuck, “Schuck, it’s all yours now. I’m going to retreat.”

After speaking, Bai Qi quickly disappeared into one of his secret realms.

If he wanted a good long sleep, the secret realm was most definitely the most comfortable place.

“It’s really tough to guide the beast masters of today.”

Schuck sighed when he saw the situation, glanced at the dispirited Beta in the middle, and sighed again.

Not only was it hard to be a Beast Master, but he found it difficult to guide himself as well.

Just because Snow Doll wasn’t icy anymore~

…

A day later.

Bai Qi got up from bed with a satisfied look on his face. He glanced at the time and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Did I actually sleep for a whole day and night? Alchemy really isn’t meant to be rushed.”

Bai Qi swished his mouth, he was lucky to have worm grass that improved his sleep quality. Otherwise, he doubted a whole day and night of sleep would be enough to bring him back to his peak state.

“I wonder how Schuck is doing with the design he’s helping Zhuge Chen with. Given that we have the core plan, making modifications should not be difficult.”

Bai Qi quickly tidied up himself and left the secluded area.

As he stepped out, a cold wind swept toward him, seeming like it would freeze him solid on the spot.

Buzz…

At that moment, a golden wall fell from the sky, blocking the cold wind.

Diamond Strength.

“Thanks, Beta.”

Bai Qi waved his hand as a gesture of gratitude to Beta at his side, but Beta ignored him and lay down again.

Seeing this, Bai Qi shrugged.

Ever since he’d let Beta take care of Snow Doll for two days, Beta had been this glum and dispirited.

According to Schuck, Beta had annoyed Snow Doll to the point that she showed her other side, and Beta had been like this ever since.

Seeing Bai Qi like this, Beta wailed and turned his head away. He looked pitiful, like a puppy that had been abandoned by its mother.

Woof Woof Woof…

(My snow cone…)

“Bai Qi, why did you suddenly appear?”

Upon seeing Bai Qi suddenly appear, Zhuge Chen quickly retracted Garulu and ran over. Bai Qiucha from the other side did the same.

“I was here when I left yesterday, so of course I would appear here now.”

Bai Qi looked at them helplessly, “Didn’t you know, Cha?”

“I thought you’d sleep some more, so I didn’t give it much thought. I’m sorry.”

Bai Qiucha smiled apologetically at Bai Qi, “Did you rest well?”

“Sort of. I think I was about to oversleep.”

Bai Qi shrugged, then looked at Garulu, who had also underwent a significant transformation, and said, “Has Garulu’s Leap Evolution been completed too?”

Zhuge Chen replied, “Yes, after Schuck designed it for Garulu, Professor Dong and Professor Chu provided some feedback. We were just testing the combat capabilities after the evolution.”

“That’s good, I won’t have to worry about it from now on.”

Bai Qi stretched lazily, slapped Schuck on his head and let him rest in the Beast Control Space. He then looked at the two of them and said, “I’ve been cooped up here for a while now, I’m thinking of taking a break and exploring the Twilight Tomb. Would you two like to come along?”

“I have no problem with that. It’ll be good to test the power of my Thunderbolt Rat.”

Bai Qiucha quickly agreed. He and his Thunderbolt Rat had almost completely become accustomed to their Leap Evolution, and all that was left was to do some real battle training.

“I’m sorry, I might not be able to make it.”

A hint of regret flashed across Zhuge Chen’s face, “Professor Dong and Professor Chu are planning to reveal the Leap Evolution at the opening ceremony, so I have quite a bit of work to help with.”

“Alright then, maybe next time.”

Bai Qi sympathetically patted Zhuge Chen’s shoulder. He’s glad that he’d agreed with Zhuge Xu and the others that he wouldn’t handle matters personally, otherwise he’d probably be wrapped up in all kinds of troublesome affairs like Zhuge Chen.

After saying goodbye to Zhuge Chen, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha mounted the Bone Dragon and set off directly for the Twilight Tomb.

So much time had passed, the first level of the Twilight Tomb had been completely opened to all of Gusu City. Undead Hill, which used to be forbidden for newcomers, was now bustling with people. Young Beast Masters came to practice everywhere.

“It looks like Gusu City is going to produce a lot of outstanding Beast Masters.”

Looking at the young Beast Masters down below, Bai Qi felt a bit emotional.

It seemed like more than half a year ago, he was also full of energy challenging the Gemini Tower.

“So, are we going to start from the first level?”

Bai Qiucha, controlling the Bone Dragon to land slowly, turned her head to ask Bai Qi.

“Let’s go straight to the third level. There’s not much point in the first two.”

Seeing that Jie Ta was still a bit weak and that his mood was not very stable, Bai Qi decided they needed more real combat practice.

And the best place for practice, of course, would be the third level, full of skeleton soldiers.

“Bai Qi, wait up for me!”

Just as Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha were about to enter the Twilight Tomb, a green figure fast approached from afar and landed heavily in front of Bai Qi. The powerful wind blew everyone and their beasts away.

“Nicholas? You’re back?”
