Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Zhou Yan immediately grabbed Bai Qi’s collar, intending to force him to spill the beans.

“Zhou Yan, a beast tamer’s capture location is his or her private secret. Be careful not to let that Song Yao guy hear you.”

Just then, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan immediately stood up straight in awe and turned around to salute, saying, “Tower Master Bai.”

“Uncle.”

Bai Qiucha also bowed in salute at the sight.

The man was none other than the Tower Master of the Tower of Competition,

Bai Tongchen, who is the legendary titled Celestial Brilliance and the younger brother of Bai Heguang.

Bai Tongchen gave Bai Qi a pat on the head. Then he looked at Bai Qi and said, “A few days ago, Old Qin asked me to help you choose a good beast as a companion. I didn’t expect you to have already formed a contract on your own.” Bai Qi gave a sheepish grin. “I’m sorry for troubling you, Tower Master Bai.” Bai Tongchen waved his hand nonchalantly. “No matter, a Beast Master is also about fate with his or her beast companion. Moreover, the potential of your slime monster is quite impressive.”

He, as the Tower Master, naturally could not miss Bai Qi and Xiao Yuan’s fight.

He nearly watched the whole process, which was why he conveniently appeared here.

Bai Qi said, “Thank you for your compliment, Tower Master Bai.” “Alright, I have other business to attend to. You guys should spend more time on the competition tower when you are free. You can’t become a legendary beast master by just studying.”

Saying that, Bai Tongchen stepped away and instantly disappeared.

“Tower Master Bai is so cool!”

Watching Bai Tongchen walk away quickly, Zhou Yan’s eyes turned into heart shapes. She didn’t notice the strange looks Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha were giving her.

“Cha, has sister Zhou always been such a fangirl?”

“No, only for my uncle.”

“Wow, so sister Zhou likes the uncle type!”

“Um, I suggest you not to discuss this in front of her, otherwise…

“Bai Qi, what did you just say?!”

“Ahem. I didn’t say anything, it was Cha!”

“Bai Qi, you bastard!”

“Phew, that was a close one.”

The successful scapegoat, Bai Qi, looked at Bai Qiucha who was being chased around by Zhou Yan. He took a moment to mourn for him, then decided to enter the Tower of Competition once again.

He couldn’t reserve the benefit from the balance enhancement, but the flame resistance he had acquired in the volcano arena was actual and effective.

in other words, as long as he used this method, Bai Qi wouldn’t have to worry about having a proficiency problem with Gamma’s array of resistance skills.

“Attention all training students, all training students, please gather in the main

hall immediately.”

“Attention all training students, all training students, please gather in the main

hall immediately.”

“Attention all training students, all training students, please gather in the main

hall immediately.”

At that moment, a familiar voice came from Bai Qi’s student badge, it was Luo

Xiang’s.

“Why is there training at this time? What is Luo Xiang thinking?

Bai Qi felt a little puzzled while the other training students had the same expression. But those Beast Masters who had also participated in the training or had been stationed at the headquarters for a long time looked indifferent.

Nowadays, young people have bad psychological quality. They had been pulled out of bed by Luo Xiang at one or two in the morning.

But no matter how much they grumbled, whether it was Zhou Yan who was still being chased by Bai Qiucha, or Lu Qing who had been studying in her room all night, they dutifully arrived at the assembly hall.

However, even when everyone had arrived, Luo Xiang was still nowhere to be

seen.

“I feel like we’ve been played by Luo Xiang again…”

Zhou Yan was visibly frustrated. The reason they had spare time to run to the Green Dragon Secret Realm a few days ago was that Luo Xiang, who was supposed to teach their theory class, handed them each a Rune Dictionary, put up a sign for self-study, and then disappeared again.

Now, Luo Xiang hadn’t shown up for a long time, and Zhou Yan’s intuition told her that Luo Xiang might have run away again.

“That shouldn’t be the case. With Instructor Luo’s character, if he doesn’t want to come, no one can find him.”

Lu Qing pushed her glasses up on her nose and looked at Bai Qi. “Besides, everyone is here now. There’s no reason for Instructor Luo to keep slacking off.”

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, Bai Qi felt a twitch at the corner of his eye. Luo Xiang was actually using him as an excuse to slack off, this instructor was really unreliable!

“Yo, you guys got here pretty quick. Looks like I can’t be late next time.

Just then, Luo Xiang finally showed up fashionably late.

No doubt about it, this guy was intentionally late.

The students were speechless, but they maintained their silence. Although Luo Xiang seemed unreliable, his real skills were no bluff. They had no place to question a Master of the Sunrise Level who was on the verge of entering the legendary realm.

“Well, let’s start today’s training.”

Luo Xiang looked around, suddenly took out a Rune Dictionary, and asked, “By the way, did you guys bring the dictionaries I gave you?”

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. That Rune Dictionary was both thick and heavy, with content that could literally make them go blind. Hence, they had basically left it in their dorms. Besides, Luo Xiang had been in a hurry, and who would carry it around for no reason?

However, Bai Qi and the others realized something.

“Tsk, you guys are on your own then.”

There was a trace of regret on Luo Xiang’s face. He patted the Secret Realm Gate next to him. Immediately, all the students were enveloped in beams of light and disappeared from the spot.

“As expected, this is not an open task from Luo Xiang, it’s a pitfall! Looking at the cubic room he was in and the runic inscriptions on the walls, Bai Qi had a good idea of Luo Xiang’s plan.

“All of you students, the exit to this secret room you’re in is hidden within these runes. As long as you can find the correct combination of runes, you can leave the room.”

“You have one day to crack it. As for the penalty for overtime…

“I recommend you not to know.”

“By the way, do not attempt to break the code by brute force-”

Luo Xiang’s voice echoed in the secret room, and apart from a few individuals, most of the students groaned in frustration.

Counting the ceiling and the floor, there were six walls in total. Each wall had 16 runes, totaling 96.

Strictly speaking, compared to the dictionary that could be passed down for generations, this number wasn’t much. But not knowing the number of combinations made these 96 runes quite terrifying indeed.

The key point was, they hardly recognized these runes!

“Using runes for an escape room game, Luo Xiang, you…”

Bai Qi crouched down and inspected the runic inscriptions under his feet, before starting to search the room.

The entire secret chamber was divided into square bricks, each engraved with runes of different attributes. Bai Qi had already found three explosion runes and five ice runes.

As Luo Xiang had indicated, Bai Qi believed that touching these runes would likely trigger their effects.

In some ways, this secret chamber was similar to the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude. They just had to find the safe runes to pass.

The runes they were standing on were undoubtedly the safest.

Thanks to his study of runes during these days, Bai Qi quickly found some runes of the same series without needing to use his rune glasses. After pressing them, a door immediately appeared in the originally sealed rune chamber.

“Easypeasy.”

Bai Qi grinned and stepped out of the secret chamber.

Then, he entered another secret chamber…

“Why do I feel like I’ve walked into an alternate dimension killing array…” Bai Qi looked at the room in front of him which was densely packed with runes, and then back at the chamber he had just left, and couldn’t help but grumble. Fortunately, each student had been separated. Otherwise, would they also need to test human nature?

However, the chamber didn’t seem to have any intention of letting Bai Qi continue observing. It started to close slowly, and Bai Qi had no option but to quickly gauge the attributes of the runes under his feet and step into this new chamber.

After assuring the safety, Bai Qi started counting the runes around him. “6*64, with so many runes, it is like persecuting the illiterate! Looking at the chamber, which had visibly increased in quantity and difficulty, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, but then started to organize them rapidly. Thanks to the practice with the Rune Rubik’s Cube, Bai Qi had a good number of runes, so he quickly found a group of safe runes and successfully found the door.

However, after passing through the door, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

It was really an alternate dimension killing array. He hoped it wouldn’t upgrade like the Rune Rubik’s Cube.

In a white space, Bai Qi’s figure suddenly appeared. Looking at the massive cube composed of identical smaller cubes behind him, Bai Qi was more convinced of his guess.

Whoever designed this cubic chamber must be a time traveler, and a big fan of horror movies as well!

“Luckily, this cubic chamber only has four stages, or else I’d be driven mad.” Four layers in the chamber, the number of runes on the walls went from 16 to 32, then to 64, and finally 128.

Both the quantity and quality improved visibly. Bai Qi was certain, if he didn t spend loads of effort on rune studies, he wouldn’t be able to find the way out. “But I didn’t expect to be the first one out. Old Qin said that the specially trained team members take this very seriously, didn’t they?”

Bai Qi looked around the empty white space, then began to examine the situation.

Just then, another figure appeared in the chamber.

It was Lu Qing, who had a quite accomplished study of runes.

With her deep understanding of runes, Lu Qing almost seamlessly solved the challenges of the four-fold chamber. She thought she would be the first one, but Bai Qi was even faster.

Indeed, it was no accident that he could research rune evolution. Thinking of this, Lu Qing’s face turned somber. She turned away and ignored Bai Qi, which left him bewildered.

What did he do to offend her this time?

Bai Qi scratched his head in bewilderment, silently creating some distance from Lu Qing.

At least he could avoid her if he couldn’t manage to appease her. In the silence that ensued, another figure appeared in the room. It was surprisingly Zhou Yan, not Li Mu and others as they predicted. “Sister Zhou, have you studied runes as well?” Bai Qi looked at Zhou Yan with some surprise. Based on his understanding of Zhou Yan, asking her to read was like killing her. He didn’t expect Zhou Yan to have such a high command of runes.

“Rune? Why would I study that nonsense.’

Zhou Yan shook her head, saying, “I just pushed a few runes at random, and here I am.”

Is that even possible?

Bai Qi’s eye twitched a little. He then said nothing, crouched in a corner, and started drawing circles.

He really was asking for humiliation by competing with a luck god.
