Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 152: Free-range or Captive-raising

The Secret Meadows.

Underneath the land, washed by the Mechanical Lord, traces of residual Thunder Flame Power could still be seen flowing. Clearly, it would be impossible for it to restore itself in a short time.

Slightly away on the grasslands, Bai Qi and his team were relishing their roasted chicken.

Zhou Yan swiftly tore off a piece of roasted chicken and took a big bite, saying, “As expected of a chicken about to evolve into a King-level, this taste, this texture, I don’t think I will be able to eat any other chicken after this.”

“The energy owned by high-grade Lord Creatures far surpasses that of Elite Creatures. If you don’t want to die of overeating, you should continue eating like this.”

Lu Qing unexpectedly tossed in her opinion, tore off a small chunk of chicken to eat, then wiped her mouth and told Bai Qi, “I’m full, thanks for the treat.”

“Um, you’re welcome.”

Bai Qi shrugged lightly, not worried about the situation mentioned by Lu Qing at all.

Overnutrition?

He quipped.

Ever since he got the Evolution Egg, he only worried he might die suddenly one day, but he had never concerned about dying from overeating.

Of course, what Lu Qing said was not wrong. So most of them stopped eating when they felt full and only tore some off for their pets to eat.

Although consuming the meat of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken wouldn’t make any significant difference, it could certainly replenish the energy they spent in the previous battle.

Woof! Woof!

(This chicken is great, Bai Qi, let’s eat this every day from now on!)

As the main battle force annihilating the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, Husky naturally received the biggest chunk.

“Eating high-grade Lord Creature every day? You think this is a chicken bought from the market…”

Bai Qi rolled his eyes. Since starting the training, they had eaten a lot of low- level Elite Creatures. High-grade Lord, they could only fantasize about that.

Um…They could consider that once they leveled up in the future.

“Bai Qi, here you go.”

Bai Qiucha handed a chicken foot marked with a No.l label to Bai Qi. Xiao Yuan and others were not taken aback by Bai Qiucha’s action. They seemed to have accepted it.

During the recent battle, Husky had shown superior power to other creatures at the same stage, and even more advanced.

Although Xiao Yuan and several others were one level above Bai Qi, they admitted that they only had higher energy values; achieving an explosive output like Husky was challenging for them.

Moreover, this beast was his secondary pet!

“Well, then I won’t be polite.”

Bai Qi took the chicken foot from Bai Qiucha. The Grass Cutter Flame Chicken was indeed about to evolve into a King-level creature. Despite being bombarded crazily by Husky, it just turned into a roast chicken. These chicken feet were not damaged at all.

According to the description given by Bai Qiucha and others, the sharpness of these chicken feet was also terrifying.

Hard and sharp, they seemed compatible with Alpha’s giant sword.

Bai Qi put away the chicken foot of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken, planning to let Alpha absorb it later.

“But wouldn’t the Iceberg guy reclaim this thing?”

“Anything you gain during the training period is your own harvest. The Association will not reclaim it.”

Just as Bai Qi muttered softly, a cold, emotionless machine-like voice came from behind him. He jumped up from the ground and greeted, “Good day, Instructor!”

Zhang Shan nodded silently, gazing at the almost devoured body of the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken behind Bai Qi, said, “All of you performed well this time. Even in the face of contingency, you didn’t lose your composure, and chose the right response. You have all initially qualified to survive in the wild.”

Hearing Zhang Shan’s words, everyone fell silent, staring blankly at Zhang Shan, unable to believe their own ears.

“Qiao Li, am I insane or did the Ic… Instructor Zhang just praise us?”

“You’re probably not, or else I might be too.”

Bai Qi looked at Zhang Shan in surprise too. Since Zhang Shan took up the teaching post, he had always pointed out their mistakes. He had never praised them. And today, he changed his tune?

There must be something fishy!

Sure enough, before everyone could recover, Zhang Shan made a series of critiques about their behavior.

“Zhou Yan, when you knew that the enemy’s power was higher than yours, but you weren’t sure about their combat skill, you still launched a close-up attack. Do you think you have the physical body of Legendary Creatures?”

“Bai Yuxiao, your talent for Dematerialization should be the most suitable for harassing the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken. Why didn’t you utilize your advantage?”

“Gu Shan, even though you’re the lowest in level, you could have inflicted significant damage to the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken through Elemental Resonance. Why were you so hesitant?”

“Bai Qiucha, the Skeleton Dragon is the most powerful among all your beasts. Why did you risk unsealing it and give up your advantage?”

“Xiao Yuan, you also…”

Why…Why…

A series of questioning made the young Beast Masters, who were a little happy just now, fell into a low mood. They wanted to retort, but on second thought, it seemed to be the case.

Soon, Bai Qi was the only Beast Master left in the field who hadn’t been pointed out by Zhang Shan.

After all, the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken was defeated by Bai Qi. Zhang Shan should have no place to nitpick, right?

But Zhang Shan indeed deserved his reputation for his impartial, hard-line stance. After a pause, he directed the criticism to Bai Qi.

“Bai Qi, did you use a Super Skill just now?”

Bai Qi nodded and replied, “Yes.”

“Then do you know why even legendary creatures don’t consider super skills as regular skills?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi instantly thought of Nicholas’ previous situation and guessed what Zhang Shan was about to say.

“You drained all the energy of your pet beast as soon as you arrived on the battlefield. Have you ever thought about what you would do if the Grass Cutter Flame Chicken had successfully evolved and hadn’t died?”

Bai Qi remained silent for a long time before speaking up, “Thank you for the reminder, Instructor. I’ll be careful next time.”

Seeing Bai Qi admit his mistake so easily, Zhang Shan was somewhat taken aback. The series of examples he had prepared were forcibly held back.

“Next time I encounter such a situation, I’ll prepare a large, no, a giant power bank in advance.”

Pfft!!!

As soon as Bai Qi spoke, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, too late to cover it up.

“Good idea, I look forward to your performance.”

Zhang Shan gave Bai Qi a poker-faced gaze before vanishing from the secret realm. Everyone else immediately received feedback on this number scramble battle from their badges.

“Huh, did I pass?”

“Me too!”

“Haha, you two scum, I got ‘good’!”

“Wow, I can’t accept this…”

“The icy man is truly a warm-hearted person. Although he scolded us harshly, he still recognized our efforts.”

Looking at the word “Pass” displayed on his badge, Zhou Yan patted his chest contentedly and then leaned over to Lu Qing, asking, “Qing’er, what’s your grade?”

Lu Qing pushed her glasses up and said, “Excellent.”

As a supporting contestant, every decision Lu Qing made was right. Her evaluation by Zhang Shan was the lightest, and it was not excessive to get an “excellent.”

Zhou Yan looked envious and solemnly swore, “I’m so envious! I will definitely consult you before I act next time.”

“Give it up, your brain isn’t capable of restraining your body’s instincts.”

Zhou Yan: “…Qing’er, are you really my best friend?”

“If you put it that way, no.”

“Oooowww…”

Listening to their conversation, Bai Qi refreshed his understanding of Lu Qing once again.

He initially thought Lu Qing was a cold and high-achieving girl, but she turned out to be a dark-hearted glasses girl? He felt he shouldn’t provoke her further. “Bai Qi, what was your grade? You performed so well, should be excellent too, right?”

Zhou Yan, who was severely battered by Lu Qing’s words, ran over to Bai Qi, curiously asking.

“I haven’t checked yet, it should be.”

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, activated his badge, and started checking.

“Huh? Why isn’t there a grade?”

Tower of Decision.

Zhao Futu looked at the data reported by Zhang Shan, his face full of smiles.

“I didn’t expect that you would give this kind of evaluation only two weeks into training?”

Zhang Shan nodded and said, “Yes, although Bai Qi’s field combat experience is not as good as the others, his adaptability far surpasses them. I think the hands-on training doesn’t mean much to him anymore, he can skip the class.”

Zhao Futu nodded, turned to Leng Feifei, and said, “Instructor Leng, what do you think?”

Leng Feifei nodded and said, “I agree with Zhang Shan’s view. Bai Qi has great potential, and it’s indeed possible to pass up on the general combat class.”

“Since both of you agree, let’s execute it this way.”

Zhao Futu put down the documents in his hand, and his secretary immediately took them and stamped them.

“However, the combat class takes up a large proportion in the training. Do you have any plans for Bai Qi during this time?”

Zhang Shan pondered for a moment and said, “Bai Qi is very interested in the competition. How about letting him stay in the Tower of Competition? Tower Master Bai can arrange some different types of opponents to go there, which can also help Bai Qi accumulate combat experience.”

Leng Feifei immediately expressed her opposition, saying, “Bai Qi’s advantage lies in his creativity. Moreover, staying in the Tower of Competition for too long could lead him to misconceptions about field combat. I suggest sending him to a real wild environment and giving him real-world training.”

“No, with Bai Qi’s current combat power, the nearby wilderness of the city won’t be of any use to him, unless we throw him into the uncontrolled area, which is too risky.”

“Risky? Twenty years ago, all Beast Masters started their training in the wild.”

“Times have changed, and besides, Bai Qi only skips my combat class. He still needs to attend many other classes.”

“Those are just theoretical lessons. They can be made up later. Compared with realistic combat power, we can put them aside for a while.”

“I disagree with that…”

Seeing that Zhang Shan, who usually didn’t oppose the command, was arguing with the head instructor Leng Feifei, a smile emerged on Zhao Futu’s face.

“Since you two can’t persuade each other, why not listen to my opinion?”
