Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 247 - 243: Schuck Evolves into King-level?

Chapter 247: Chapter 243: Schuck Evolves into King-level?

The newly activated spark burned even more intensely under the radiance of the Evolution Light, to the point where even half of Beta was enveloped by it.

Ah woo!!!

("What in the world is this? Can I run away?")

Beta, who was initially immersed in a deep meditation, was suddenly jarred awake by the flames possessing it and instinctively wanted to flee, paying no attention to the Evolution Light glittering on its body.

"Stupid dog, you’re evolving, don’t move!"

Although Bai Qi was surprised that Beta could still move during its evolution, he was too preoccupied to hold Beta accountable. After sternly ordering it to stay still, Bai Qi quietly waited on the side.

Gah la gah la?

("Boss, did Schuck evolve?")

Seeing Alpha hurry over after hearing the commotion, Bai Qi nodded, saying, "Schuck has activated its spark. It must have triggered a qualitative change."

Ka pu ka pu.

("Will Schuck directly evolve to King Level?")

Gamma looked curiously at the blue flames on the Husky, clearly tempted to go up and have a taste.

Gah la gah la.

("It’s unlikely, Schuck’s essence of life hasn’t been elevated to the level of a King.")

Alpha’s Fire of Soul flickered, quickly assessing the Husky’s current state.

"Are you sure, Alpha?"

Bai Qi was surprised and asked, "You can already see the strength of an essence of life?"

Alpha nodded, confirming Bai Qi’s statement.

Purulu purulu.

("But even so, it should become very strong, right? Delta can already feel the pressure Schuck Beta is emitting.")

Delta carefully examined the Husky and also offered its opinion.

As the member of the team with the most evolutions and devolutions, regardless of level or type, Delta had experienced nearly all of them, so its opinion was definitely the most authoritative.

Can’t directly rise to King level, huh...

After hearing the three pets’ evaluation, Bai Qi sighed with a bit of regret.

If it could directly level up to King Level, coupled with Alpha, two King-level creatures would be able to dominate the field, even without needing Gamma and Delta to step in.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of one human and three pets, the Evolution Light on the Husky gradually dissipated, and Bai Qi immediately moved in to check.

"Hmm? Schuck, where’s your mechanical head? How come it looks the same as Beta now?"

Staring at the Double-headed Wolf in front of him that didn’t seem much different from the typical Arctic Ice Wolf, Bai Qi was startled. He searched for a long time but couldn’t find a trace of metal construction on the Husky.

"It’s just an additional ability awakened after the upgrade, something like microscopic control over materials."

The blue light in Schuck’s eyes flashed, and its head suddenly flipped, returning to its original mechanical form.

"I see. So how are the attributes?"

Bai Qi asked curiously, and Schuck directly pressed its head against Bai Qi’s body, transferring the information about its evolution directly into Bai Qi’s mind.

[Name]: War Apostle (Beta)

[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (psychic mutation)

[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level

[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord

[Racial skills]: Mechanical Lord (Super - Master), Mechanical Heart (Super - Beginner), Mind’s Eye (High Level - Proficient), Demonic Roar (High Level - Proficient), Thunder Flame Power (High Level - Master), Soul Whisper (High Level - Master), Electric Resistance (Intermediate - Perfect)

[Energy Value]: 1E1130W

[Condition]: Evolvable

While the Race Name remained unchanged, the Bloodline Level had shot up directly to High-grade Lord, and the Energy Value had skyrocketed to 1E1130W.

It’s worth noting that when Alpha upgraded to King-level, it was only at 1E6840W, already far surpassing the ordinary King-level creatures, and yet the Husky’s evolution had broken the hundred million mark.

"Indeed, awakening the mechanical spark is no small feat."

Bai Qi’s face beamed with joy as he turned his attention to the new skills acquired by the Husky.

[Skill Name]: Mechanical Heart

[Skill Level]: Super

[Skill Introduction]: A skill that can only be mastered by mechanical beings after awakening their spark. It greatly enhances the control, attack, and defense of mechanical constructs, among other metrics, and continues to strengthen over time.

Is this a passive skill with continuous growth?

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. Although it wasn’t an active attack skill, it was perfect for Husky’s future development.

Continuously strengthening over time meant that even without training, Schuck slowly became stronger. Could there be a more suitable skill for Schuck, given its inclination towards research and development?

"Congratulations, Schuck. Now you can focus on your research."

Bai Qi patted Schuck’s head, and even Schuck, who rarely showed emotion, seemed to revel in the affection, clearly in a good mood.

Although born from Beta’s intellect and influenced by the smart brain to be extremely rational, some instincts still remained.

Ah woo...

("This Super Skill... isn’t mine after all...")

Unlike Schuck’s elation, Beta looked at Bai Qi with a face full of silent grievance.

The Mechanical Heart only strengthened the mechanical half, it had nothing to do with him.

"Cough cough, I’ve already asked Thirteenth Bureau for a piece of Spiritual legend resources, whether you get it or not depends on your own performance."

Woof woof!

(Spiritual resources?)

Beta’s ears immediately perked up, his expression becoming more determined than ever.

This material, he would definitely secure; not even the Buddha could take it from him!

"Not bad, that’s the spirit you should have."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, looked at the four pets in front of him, and said, "You all likely understand the importance of tomorrow’s fight. Whether we can be ranked first depends on you."

Crack crack!

(Don’t worry Boss, Alpha definitely won’t lose!)

Awoo...

(For my own Spiritual resources, I’ve decided to go all out against them.)

"According to my calculations, unless Thirteenth Bureau brings in new contestants, your chances of winning, Beast Master, are at ninety-one point eight percent."

Crunch crunch.

(Gamma will do its best too.)

Purrl purrl.

(Delta will do the same.)

Looking at his four pets brimming with confidence, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Alright, let’s come up with tomorrow’s tactics. These old foxes have been reluctant to discuss the specific rules till now; we better be prepared in advance."

...

Amid the expectant glances of everyone, the long-awaited big competition finally arrived the next day.

Apart from the two heavyweights, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian, the other five tower masters of the association and a group of instructors, along with legendary members and ministers like Yi Yu from Thirteenth Bureau, took their seats one after another. And below them sat a group of young Beast Masters, brimming with a fighting spirit.

Both sides had prepared for this competition for a long time, and now was the time to put their hard work to the test.

Finally, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian appeared together, walking to the center of the arena, exchanging courteous greetings. As the host, Zhao Futu stood out and said, "In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the contestants, this assessment will start with practical combat."

Upon Zhao Futu’s statement, many Beast Masters nodded in agreement.

Although theory is also very important, the primary criterion for judging the strength of a Beast Master is still actual combat.

After all, in battles with ferocious beasts, theory alone is far from sufficient.

Zhao Futu raised his hand for silence and continued, "The actual combat will be divided into two rounds. The first round is the challenge stage. You will be randomly and evenly distributed into four groups, with twelve from the association and twelve from Thirteenth Bureau. Participants from each side will come forward one by one, where the victor remains to await the next challenger, and the defeated contestant cannot challenge again, until all members of one side are defeated, signaling the end of the match."

"After the first round, we will select the top five winners from each side to enter the second round of team battles. As for the specific rules of team battles, I believe there’s no need for me to go into detail."

With that, Zhao Futu paused, then said, "Those who want to get the top three rewards, or who want to earn points, will need to work hard."

"Challenge stage?"

Hearing Zhao Futu’s explanation, Bai Qi was slightly stunned.

The simple act of holding the stage was one thing, but the randomness of splitting nearly a hundred people into four groups was a bit too high.

With bad luck, one could end up in the death group filled with Four Stage Beast Masters.

"Forget it, let’s just fight."

When it came to luck, Bai Qi did not bother to overthink and silently waited for the distribution results.

After explaining the rules, Zhao Futu stepped back to his seat, and Wang Jian took over. Wang Jian was aware of what everyone was thinking and, without any unnecessary words, pressed the random sorting button in front of him.

After a dizzying array of sorts, the names of the four groups of contestants appeared on the screen, and everyone immediately started searching for their own names.

"Damn, I’m in the same group as Bai Qi, I might as well just lie down."

Bai Yuxiao was the first to find her name, but when she saw Bai Qi’s name following hers, she deflated once more.

Under the usual rules of the challenge, the longer one held the stage, the more points they accrued, while the points of the defeated were inherited by the victorious challenger.

Now that she was in the same group as Bai Qi, challenging early only meant contributing to his scores, while challenging late meant being unable to surpass him—there seemed to be no hope in either case.

"Then there’s nothing that can be done about it."

Xiao Yuan and others patted Bai Yuxiao’s shoulder in sympathy, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief inside.

The rankings were done separately for the two departments, but those from the same department were placed together.

To enter the top five, it was best to avoid Bai Qi or other contenders of similar strength, or the chances of advancing would be very low.

Fortunately for them, aside from Zhou Yan and Lu Qing who were placed in the same group, the others were spread out.

As for those who ended up in the same group as Bai Qi, they could only wish themselves luck.

After all, with each side picking five contestants, barring any surprises, the places were pretty much determined.

There was much grumbling in the association side, and Thirteenth Bureau was no different.

"I actually got in the same group as Xusheng, should I just accept my defeat?"

Seeing Li Xusheng’s name in his group, Tang Miao felt a sense of despair. Wang Huai responded with a faint smile, "Actually, it’s the same. As long as you show your strength early on, there is still a chance to enter the next round."

Hearing Wang Huai’s words, Tang Miao felt insignificantly better. Before he had a chance to respond, a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman walked up to them, starting off with a series of taunts.

"Only those who lack confidence in their abilities would worry about not making it into the next round."

"This competition will be a lesson taught by none other than I, Lilith Borg, on what true Beast Control is!"
