Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

The toxins stored inside his Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, which had been nurtured by him, were incomparable to that of ordinary Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis. Not to mention that Delta was just a most common wild beast species before evolution, even those who were poison attribute pets could not escape from this deadly toxin.

Thinking of this, Hughes accelerated the fusion of his own body with the purple venom, encapsulating it in a shell-like outer layer.

The title ‘Poison Coat’ Hughes originated from this skill combination he shared with the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis.

Firstly, he used the skill of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis to cover the entire field, then launched an attack on the enemy using his poison coat. As long as the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis was not eliminated at the very first moment, the enemy would gradually be eroded by the lethal poison and completely lose their combat power.

For an odd-shaped creature like the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, physical attacks were essentially ineffective unless the opponent possessed specific skills with effects such as purification or burning.

Observing Delta, now thoroughly surrounded by purple venom, Hughes was preparing to launch an attack, only to unexpectedly notice anomalies in the venom beneath his feet — it was actively converging towards Delta.

“This… How could this be possible!”

Hughes was utterly stupefied, watching the venom quickly gather beneath Delta’s feet and then slowly disappear, he was evidently struggling to accept the reality. After sensing Delta’s current condition, Bai Qi just couldn’t hide his grin.

Partial evolution, it really worked!

[Name]: White Armored Elephant

[Nature]: Wild Beast

[Bloodline Level]: Lower King

[Introduction]: An ancient creature that feeds on poisons, its strong digestion system allows it to ignore most toxins, while its scale-covered tail can extract nutrients directly from venom.

…

The White Armored Elephant was one of the evolution plans Bai Qi chose from the genetic materials given by his parents. Although it couldn’t compare with the Diamond Ape in agility, Bai Qi was extremely satisfied with this creature’s ability to ignore toxins and even replenish its own strength with the toxins’ aid.

This creature’s physique and strength were particularly terrifying even among the Ancient Species thanks to the powerful digestive system that accepts everything.

Most importantly, with the gradual increase in proficiency of Delta’s survival of the fittest skill, Delta was indeed able to conduct partial evolutions now.

Just like now, Delta had only evolved its tail into that of a White Armored Elephant. This way, it avoided the energy consumption required for a full evolution and instead, absorbed energy from the venom of Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis to replenish the previous energy depletion.

“Is your pet really an ancestral beast?”

Hughes soon noticed the anomalies and couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes, it is indeed an ancestral beast.”

Bai Qi nodded and, upon confirming that Delta had fully recovered, said, “Delta, go.”

Blub blub.

(Okay.)

Delta nodded, a flash of Evolution Light, and a massive Diamond Ape appeared instantly, with a layer of golden light enveloping Delta’s body.

“Active evolution?”

Hughes was even more surprised seeing this, but immediately laughed coldly, “I don’t know what’s going on with your ancestral beast, but giving up the poison-resistant form will undoubtedly be your dumbest choice.”

“Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, poison bomb!”

At Hughes’s command, the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis immediately straightened its body, and purple-colored poison bombs shot out from its body without any warning and targeted Delta at a speed totally opposite to its slow movement.

However, Delta, who had transformed into Diamond Ape, didn’t care about these bombs at all. He dodged left and right and easily avoided all the attack of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, then rushed right before it.

Seeing Delta’s close approach, the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis didn’t appear surprised at all, but rather forwardly went up against Delta.

Compared to the venom it secreted, the body of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis was the true essence of the poison. As long as it could wrap Delta around, Delta would be quickly eroded by the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis and become the source of venom.

Seeing this, Delta didn’t hesitate at all. His thick right fist slammed violently onto the body of the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, and the terrifying force directly smashed the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis into countless fragments.

“It’s useless. The Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis has a split skill. Physical attacks can’t…”

Before Hughes could finish his sentence, he saw a rift suddenly appearing in the space in front of Delta. Following that, the void shattered around Delta’s right fist as if it were glass. Even the platform beneath their feet started to crack due to this rift.

The Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis, who was at the forefront and directly took the hit, exploded immediately, with only a small unfocused core remaining that fell to the ground, motionlessly.

“Space skills? How is this possible?”

The already pale face of Hughes turned even paler, and he found it hard to associate the Diamond Ape with the Space Department.

Unfortunately, Bai Qi had no intention of explaining to Hughes at all. He bypassed the now powerless Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis and quickly moved towards the seventh floor.

Then, the battle ended with a single punch.

Following that, onto the eighth floor and ninth floor…

“Is it that the Yixiu family is too weak or is this Bai Qi too strong, they all ended with one punch?!”

“Is that the problem? What I want to know is how that ancestral beast managed to evolve on the spot. It seems like an ancient species that only exists in records – the Diamond Ape?”

“The Diamond Ape? Wasn’t that extinct?!”

“I’d like to know too.”

“Stop worrying about those issues, Bai Qi has already reached the twelfth level.”

Upon hearing these words, the crowd stopped their discussions and looked towards the top of the mountain.

Although the specifics of the battle were out of sight, Bai Qi had indeed reached the location of the Obelisk.

“Wuhu, such a simple and violent fighting method.”

Watching Bai Qi’s unstoppable pace, a smile surfaced on Wang Chen’s face. Several holographic projections then appeared in front of all the major forces, showing the twelfth level.

“With such an exciting fight, everyone should enjoy it together, don’t you think Malik?”

“Hmm.”

Malik nodded his head. His expressionless face didn’t give away any emotions, as though it wasn’t their Beast Masters from the Yixiu family who had just been beaten.

With the help of the holographic projection, all the Beast Masters could clearly see Bai Qi, who had climbed onto the platform of the twelfth level. This started a lively discussion among them.

“Has Bai Qi decided to topple the whole place with just one pet?”

Seeing Bai Qi on stage, who showed no signs of removing Delta, Feng Ye couldn’t help but marvel.

“As expected, after all, this isn’t the first time he’s done this.”

Luo Xiang laughed. Back in the big game, someone had pierced an entire team with a single pet. This was just a retelling of that story.

“However, I heard that Blood-eyed Carl was trained in the wild since young. It’s said that his Main Pet is a King Creature. Even if Bai Qi is so strong, after consecutive battles for eleven rounds, won’t he be unable to hold on?”

Feng Ye was still a bit worried when he heard this, but Chun Yushui gave him a hard knock on the head, saying, “Stop fussing and get going for the challenge. If you keep delaying, you’ll lose your chance.”

Hearing Chun Yushui’s words, Feng Ye finally noticed that Li Xusheng had already left the team of the Thirteenth Bureau and started his own challenge.

According to the rules of the sequence battle, any Beast Master who meets the criteria in the field can challenge the Guardian. After the challenge is successful, they can choose to continue to the next level or become the new Guardian. In a way, this is another form of competition.

“Forget it, I’ll watch Bai Qi’s fight to the end.”

Feng Ye shook his head. Anyway, the Obelisk would restore spirit and physical strength, so no matter when he went up, the effect would be the same. He decided to finish watching the exciting battle in front of him.

At the twelfth level platform.

Bai Qi looked at the spirited Delta and asked, “Delta, do you still have enough Energy Value?”

Blub blub blub!

(Master, don’t worry, Delta still has half its energy. That’s enough.)

While maintaining the evolved form and using the Void Echo consumed a lot of energy, thanks to the recoveries gained from the Rot Bone Cynops Orientalis at the sixth level, Delta’s energy consumption in the first six levels was almost zero. Furthermore, the subsequent levels involved run-style battles, so the energy consumption was still within range.

“That’s good.”

Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily upon hearing this. Space Skills were simple and crude—there was no need to consider attributes. Apart from the mysterious Temporal Department, almost all attributes could only be restrained by the Space Department.

“I didn’t expect that someone would actually manage to reach me. Those green house flowers have always been unreliable.”

Carl, who had been closing his eyes and leaning against the rock wall, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bloody eyes. Following that, a corpse wrapped in yellow bandages, carrying a tombstone on its back, appeared next to Carl.

[Name]: Tombstone Blood Corpse

[Nature]: Corpse Department

[Bloodline Level]: Low-Level King

[Introduction]: A corpse born in an ancient tomb, feeds on fresh blood, likes to carry a tombstone around, but its speed is not affected at all.

…

“A King Creature?”

Bai Qi gave a small nod upon seeing this. He always thought it was odd that for such a large family as the Yixiu family, despite having so many Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage Beast Masters, not one had a mythical or even King Creature. It was a bit strange.

Carl was assigned to the final round, which undoubtedly showed the absolute confidence of the Yixiu family in him.

Bai Qi looked at Carl closely, but the Evolution Egg suddenly started to tremble.

The trembling was not targeting the Tombstone Blood Corpse, but Carl, the Beast Master.

“Could it be… this guy is also a sleeper?”

The image of Li Xusheng flashed in Bai Qi’s mind. Apart from being a possible legendary creature with a bloodline, there was no other explanation for the abnormal behavior of the Evolution Egg.

“A legendary bloodline plus a King Creature. This proves to be a bit tough…”

Bai Qi licked his lips, looking at Delta who looked ready for a fight. He still had no intention of replacing it with another pet. After a brief thought, he said, “Delta, shall we give ‘that move’ a try?”
