Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 388 - 384: Mere Mythical Level Resources

Chapter 388: Chapter 384: Mere Mythical Level Resources

Looking at the increasingly unclear skill description, Bai Qi felt a wave of helplessness and said, “Gamma, let’s give it a try first.”

Crunch, crunch.

(Alright, Master.)

Gamma leaped yonder, landing atop the crowd. His body rapidly expanded, forming a dome that covered Bai Qi and all his pets.

Next, Gamma’s body detached from the dome, which quickly transformed into diamond, emanating a soft white light.

“A group defense skill?”

Bai Qi looked at the thin layer of diamond that wrapped them, curiously placing his hand on it.

It felt warm and soft to the touch, even somewhat comforting. Bai Qi felt as if both his soul and body were relaxing, their condition visibly improving.

Looking back at his pets, apart from the Undead Alpha and Jerry, and the Mythical Creature Nicholas who showed no reaction, the others also seemed significantly revitalized.

“Can it also replenish the physical strength of allies within its range?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Gamma’s supportive skills were plentiful, including Energy Diversion for energy replenishment, Bloodsucking Aura to absorb debuff energy, and the Holy Shock that, while being more offensive, could also support his teammates.

However, none of these could be considered “pure” healing skills—at least not compared to Divine Blessing.

“Wonder how strong the defense is.”

Bai Qi gently pushed his palm against the diamond dome, his arm penetrating it and exposed to the outside world. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

“Are you sure this skill is called Divine Blessing and not Divine Deception, Gamma?”

Bai Qi’s eye twitched, but Alpha nearby seemed to sense something. She voluntarily exited the diamond dome, picking up the Gravity Sword, and powerfully slashed towards the dome.

Boom!

An energy wave spread outwards, dispersing the decomposing snake bodies corrupted by the Plague Totem. But Divine Blessing, the recipient of the attack, was intact, no cracks visible.

Could the structure be different inside and out?

“Alpha, how much power did you just use?”

Crunch, crunch.

(Half.)

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Though it was only half-power, given Alpha’s ferocious base power and the amplification by the Gravity Sword, this wasn’t something any organism could withstand easily.

From the looks of it, physical defense wasn’t an issue.

“Alpha, try an energy attack.”

Alpha nodded, and once more, she took the Undying Flame Sword. Swinging her blade, the demonic red flame immediately covered the entire diamond shield.

The raging flames bathed the diamond shield in a scorching red haze, causing cracks to form on the ground outside due to the intense heat.

Yet, Bai Qi and the others at the center of the sea of fire didn’t feel anything unusual.

“Excellent, the flames aren’t an issue either.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, but then a flash of sword’s light caught his eye, and a long crack appeared on the diamond shield.

“Uh, was that the Sword of the Wind Chaser?”

Seeing Alpha stance for a sword swing, but with nothing in her right hand, Bai Qi quickly understood.

It was indeed somewhat challenging for a Super Skill to block a Transcendent Level, especially when it involved the intensely sharp Sword of the Wind Chaser.

“Not bad, able to resist most external energy and physical attacks, and can also rejuvenate the tour status of allies inside, very decent.”

As Bai Qi watched the crack on the diamond shield slowly recovering, he nodded in satisfaction.

Although it wasn’t a derivative of aura skills like Schizonepeta Body, a crowd defense plus healing effect was quite impressive.

Even if it couldn’t move, with this skill, he didn’t have to worry about his safety in the wilderness anymore. It was a truly protective god skill.

Protective god skill?

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up as something occurred to him.

“Gamma, can you simultaneously cast Plague Totem?”

Crunch, crunch.

(Can’t do it simultaneously, but can cast separately.)

One after another, Gamma spat out two Plague Totems. A deep green aura immediately covered the area, but upon coming into contact with Divine Blessing, it simply looped around it.

In the vast green aura, a massive diamond shield shining brightly with holy light, stood out starkly.

“Tsk tsk, Plague Totem plus Divine Blessing. The two opposing attributes are working together quite well.”

A smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face. It seemed like he wouldn’t have to be afraid of small monster waves from now on.

Hmm… this might not be very ideal as it would likely have some impact on his other pets, apart from the Undead Creature, Alpha.

Crunch, crunch…

(But, Gamma still hasn’t evolved…)

Unlike Bai Qi, Gamma, who got stuck halfway through the evolution process, was noticeably disappointed.

He was almost stronger.

“No worries, I think I have a guess,” Bai Qi said.

Bai Qi picked up Gamma, consoling him.

The number of super skills in Holy Light and Evil Power was still the same, but it was clear that the skills of the Evil Power series were overall stronger than the Holy Light series.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the method for Gamma’s successful evolution was just as he initially hypothesized – balancing the two types of energy within Gamma’s body.

“We really need to speed up the collection of Holy Light series resources,” he remarked.

Looking at the huge pit left devastated by the Plague Totem, Bai Qi slowly stood up and turned to Nicholas, asking, “Nicholas, are you now fully in control of the Green Dragon Secret Realm?”

Nicholas closed his eyes to fully perceive his surroundings, and responded, “Yes, I should be able to with a bit more practice.”

Bai Qi nodded, “Then I’ll go out first and wait for you so that I can bid Zhao and the others goodbye.”

Nicholas nodded in return and immediately began sensing the control authority over the Green Dragon Secret Realm. Bai Qi, well-acquainted with this step, exited the Green Dragon Secret Realm with ease.

“I remember Lu Qing saying this is how the badge was used?” he muttered.

Bai Qi took out his identity token and, following what Lu Qing had been told, injected his own spirit power. The surrounding scene transformed instantly and he arrived directly inside the Tower of Decision.

“It really is extremely convenient.”

Bai Qi looked around and nodded in satisfaction, then strode off to Zhao Futu’s office.

“Bai Qi, what brings you here?”

Setting down the files in his hand, Zhao Futu greeted the unexpected visitor with a smile, “Are you planning on returning to Gusu City?”

Bai Qi nodded, “Yes, I’ve spent quite some time at the headquarters so I thought it’s time to head back.”

“You do have a point. After all, you’re currently a lecturer at the Star Mechanics Academy, so it wouldn’t really be appropriate for you to wander around all the time.”

Zhao Futu smiled and responded, “And besides, the Super God Evolution Research Institute probably also needs your attention.”

“Uh, I don’t think that would be necessary.”

Bai Qi twitched his lips. Zhuge, Cao, Sun, Liu, plus the Jiuli Group and the Five Consortiums are already hard at work. Why would they need him to rack his brains at all?

“Hahaha, you might not want to be so optimistic,” Zhao Futu laughed and was about to continue when his phone rang, interrupting him.

“Hello? This is Zhao. I see… Alright… Personally, I have no objections. Very well, we’ll be in touch.” Zhao answered the call.

After hanging up, Zhao looked up at Bai Qi with a wide grin, causing a sudden stir in Bai Qi’s heart.

It feels like trouble is brewing…

“Bai Qi, there’s a task specifically for you. Would you be willing to undertake it?”

“No.”

Without a hint of hesitation, Bai Qi instantly refused Zhao Futu’s proposition. This kind of smile, he’d seen it too many times.

There’s definitely a catch!

Zhao Futu didn’t seem surprised at all, “Alright, then I’ll refuse on your behalf. What a pity, though, the reward would have been a mythical level resource.”

Wait, a mythical level resource?

Bai Qi cleared his throat and swiftly adopted a flattering smile, “Cough, Chairman, I suddenly feel that I might have been a little hasty in refusing… perhaps we could discuss more details?”

“Are you sure? Although it’s a mission specifically for you, there’s no need for you to force yourself.”

Zhao Futu’s smile deepened. “Although it’s unfair towards the person who posted the mission, I think they would understand.”

“No, it’s not forced. As a member of the Tower of Decision, I should set an example. How could I refuse other people’s commissions?”

Bai Qi put on a solemn face, giving the impression of being willing to make sacrifices for the association.

A mythical level resource! Now that the training camp had ended, his chances of obtaining one in the wild were pretty slim. How could he possibly turn down such an amazing opportunity?

“Not bad, you’re much stronger than Heguang on this matter.”

Zhao Futu nodded in agreement. “The mission was given by Director Wang Jian from the Thirteenth Bureau. They will inform you about the specifics once you accept the mission. I won’t say more.”

“Director Wang Jian? Is it a mission assigned by the Thirteenth Bureau?” Bai Qi asked, startled. “Does the Thirteenth Bureau have another secret realm that needs to be deciphered? Why not just look for Instructor Luo?”

“It’s not a secret realm mission, more like a social task.”

Zhao Futu suddenly smirked, “Usually, these tasks are carried out internally within the Thirteenth Bureau. This time, inviting you is a special case. Just remember to take full advantage of the opportunity.”

“Er, I kind of don’t feel like going now.”

Seeing Zhao Futu’s expression, Bai Qi instinctually sensed that something was off. The mythical level resource that was the task reward didn’t seem so tempting anymore.

What kind of social task could possibly offer a mythical level resource as a reward? The more he thought about it, the less right it seemed.

“I’m afraid it’s too late for regrets; I’ve already accepted the task for you.”

Zhao Futu stated with a straight face, “Besides, you young ones really need to get out more. Staying cooped up in school all the time won’t do you any good in the long run.”

“Chairman, wasn’t it you who said it’s inappropriate to run around earlier… Also, when did you agree to somebody? I didn’t notice.”

Bai Qi cornered his eyes, unable to hold back his retorts. Zhao Futu, however, ignored him and continued, “In a couple of days, someone from the Thirteenth Bureau will come to pick you up. Don’t go anywhere in the meantime…and also…”

Zhao Futu paused momentarily, his eyes turning cold, “There’s something else I’d like you to investigate during your mission.”

“Chairman, please don’t have such a dark look on your face. I really don’t feel like going anymore.”
