Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 250 - 246: One through twelve?

Li Mu was defeated, and the students following him were obviously no match for Dean, but Dean didn’t seem intent on a total victory. When only one member from the association was left, he voluntarily conceded.

However, everyone knew that the association had lost the first match.

"I’m sorry, I lost."

Li Mu, utterly defeated, looked disheartened. Clearly, he felt guilty for not being able to secure the first round for the association. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan simply smiled and said, "Don’t worry, someone will avenge you."

Li Mu was taken aback and then saw the participants for the second group already teleported to the arena, with the association’s first contestant having already taken the stage.

It was Bai Qi.

Bai Qi glanced over the vigorous and numerous Thirteenth Bureau Beast Masters across from him, quickly assessed the lineup, and then suddenly turned back to look at Bai Yuxiao, saying, "Sorry, you might not get a chance to fight."

Bai Yuxiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the comment, yet she didn’t argue and crisply ran back to the spectator stand.

She had thought about scoring a few points before Bai Qi, but seeing the current situation, that was no longer a thought.

But the worst part was, she got tricked by that bastard Bai Qi.

After Bai Yuxiao led the way back, Ran Xu and Qiao Li, among others, exchanged looks and decided to return as well.

Taking on twelve alone was one thing; this guy had done even more outrageous things. Now that he had spoken, what were they still doing sticking around?

Time to slip away.

"Ha-ha-ha... It seems your association’s Beast Masters have great confidence in Bai Qi. I’m curious to see if his talents in Beast Control are as strong as in his research," Wang Jian laughed heartily, and Zhao Futu also wore a full smile.

Talent?

Such things were no longer fitting for this lad.

The second group’s actions greatly boosted the association’s morale, but it was a huge insult to the Thirteenth Bureau.

Some were cultivated by the Thirteenth Bureau since childhood, others were drafted from various departments, but without exception, each of them had been forged in the wilderness—they were not only cream of the crop but also fit to be leaders.

And what did the association mean by this?

Sending just one student, at most a university freshman?

Did they think they were like Bai Qiucha, that kind of freak? Aspiring to dispatch the whole team like Dean, one had to be somewhat self-aware.

"Association participants, Bai Qi, Thirteenth Bureau, please quickly decide on your contestants."

Watching Bai Qi casually stand on the stage, Leng Feifei’s lips curved into a smile, showing no intention of blaming Bai Yuxiao and others for their actions.

They had almost been defeated entirely; if they didn’t respond in kind, it would really be somewhat embarrassing.

After all, this was still their home ground.

Hearing Leng Feifei’s urging, and being in the same group as Bai Qi, Lilith got a bit restless but was stopped by a look from Dean who was about to stand up.

"This Bai Qi isn’t as simple as you think, let’s observe for a bit."

Dean sent a voice message to Lilith and then focused his attention on Bai Qi.

"Then I’ll go first."

Seeing no one else stepping forward, a resolute-looking young man climbed onto the stage and said, "Zhao Hai, Four Stage Beast Master, please advise."

Bai Qi also nodded and replied, "Bai Qi, Four Stage Beast Master, please advise."

"Are both sides ready? Then, let the battle begin!"

Leng Feifei immediately announced the start of the match, and both sides began summoning their pets. Zhao Hai’s four-head pets almost appeared simultaneously and were immediately ready for battle.

As a researcher of three core patents and the top scholar of the two-city joint examination, Zhao Hai did not underestimate Bai Qi in the slightest; given his military background, he went all out from the start.

However, Zhao Hai’s state only lasted a moment before he was utterly defeated.

The reason being, Bai Qi had summoned just one pet.

"A Slime? Is this how you treat your opponents?"

A flash of indignation crossed Zhao Hai’s face. He could accept defeat, but this level of belittlement was something he struggled to bear.

Seeing Zhao Hai’s righteous anger, Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to underestimate you. I just intended to use it to defeat all of you, everyone alike."

As soon as Bai Qi said this, the Thirteenth Bureau fell into sudden silence, while after a brief quiet on the association’s side, Zhou Yan was the first to burst into laughter.

"Indeed, when it comes to putting on an act, Bai Qi is second to none!"

Hearing this, Bai Qiucha shook his head helplessly and said, "But isn’t this a bit too provocative? After all, Gamma is just one of Bai Qi’s three pets; won’t this infuriate them?"

"What about three pets? I’ve never regarded it merely as one of three."

Xiao Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, "On it, I’ve for the first time experienced the helplessness of my opponents."

"Don’t think too much about it; think about your next fight."

Lu Qing pushed up his glasses and warned, "If this guy puts us to shame with his performance, the president and the others won’t let us off easily."

Everyone listened solemnly, starting to think about their upcoming strategies, while the atmosphere in the arena had already reached its peak.

"I remember Bai Qi used a Skeletal Type creature and a Wolf Species creature during the joint exam of the two cities, right? So this slime monster is his third pet?"

"Thinking to defeat us with three pets, isn’t that too arrogant, even Dean wouldn’t do this, right?"

"Damn, we really need to teach him a lesson!"

"..."

The crowd below was filled with indignation, especially Zhao Hai, who was directly involved.

"If that’s the case, then you better not regret it!"

As a military Beast Master who had grown through real combat, Zhao Hai did not fuss over fairness. Since Bai Qi had made his choice, he couldn’t be blamed for the consequences.

At Zhao Hai’s command, his four pets launched an attack on Gamma, whose gelatinous body was twisted and deformed by the strikes, flying chaotically in the air before finally crashing down.

Even then, Gamma didn’t seem to be injured at all, instead, it formed a pair of large, clueless eyes, looking around blankly.

*Kapū Kapū?*

(Master, are we competing now?)

"Yes, finish it quickly so we can wrap this up, don’t linger."

*Kapū Kapū!*

(Gamma understands!)

Receiving the combat instructions from Bai Qi, Gamma, also feeling the rare surge of combat spirit, bounced lightly on the ground. In an instant, green, red, and dark auras spread across the entire field, and the four pets that were attacking happily suddenly felt an unusual sensation in their bodies.

The toxins corroded, blood surged, energy was drained, and an annoying sensation of being burned by flames overwhelmed them.

The various negative states caused their condition to nosedive, and Zhao Hai also realized the problem and immediately ordered his four pets to attack Gamma with full force.

However, no matter how they attacked, Gamma did not show any signs of injury and seemed to become more vigorous instead.

Out of caution, Zhao Hai’s pets did not approach rashly. After all, aura-type skills were strongest near the center, so they used ranged skills.

But to Gamma, who basically had full resistance to all elements, these energy-based skills were no different than useless efforts.

Yet with his combat experience, seeing the ineffectiveness of ranged skills, Zhao Hai quickly changed his strategy. Two of his pets continued to engage from a distance, while the other two quickly closed in for physical close combat.

This time, their attacks had an effect. Gamma’s jelly-like body was smashed into countless fragments, scattering all around.

"Is that it? Dean is really too cautious."

Lilith slightly frowned upon seeing this. Gamma’s three aura skills were indeed formidable, and its resistance to energy attacks was astonishing, but such poor physical defense doomed it to failure.

Just then, thinking he had won, Zhao Hai suddenly felt his pets weakening more rapidly, with one even fainting, clearly poisoned.

"How is this possible?"

Zhao Hai looked around in disbelief, only to realize that the three auras on the ground hadn’t disappeared but had increased instead; the numerous big and small auras completely enveloped his four pets, leaving no space to move.

And the source of these auras was the dispersed sub-bodies of Gamma.

[Name]: Undying Lord (Gamma) 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)

[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord

[Racial Skills]: Bloodsucking Aura (High-Level - Perfect), Deadly Poison Aura (High-Level - Perfect), Split (Mid-Level - Perfect), Mimicry (Low-Level - Perfect), Corrosion (Low-Level - Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Mid-Level - Perfect)... Golden Cicada Shelling (Super-Level - Beginner), Sacrificial Aura (High-Level - Proficient), Energy Diversion (High-Level - Proficient), Life Energy Conversion (Super-Level - Proficient)

[Energy Value]: 4E6800W

After several days of intense training, Gamma’s level had jumped to the Fourth Stage, and its energy had soared to over 400 million.

It’s worth noting that Lord-level creatures only reach 400 million at the Fifth Stage, but Gamma had achieved it at just the Fourth Stage.

Physical mutations under the enhancement of Evolution Egg had showcased their advantages vividly.

With such terrifying energy powering it, Gamma’s skill range and duration had also been significantly enhanced, even the energy carried by the split bodies possibly surpassing that of same-level creatures.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai finally realized he was no match for Gamma, gritted his teeth, and chose to surrender.

Whether it was the effects of poison, bloodsucking, or burning, the longer they lasted, the greater the damage to his pets, and delaying might cause irreparable injuries.

"Huh, giving up just like that?"

Seeing Zhao Hai surrender so readily, Bai Qi was slightly surprised and then signaled Gamma to absorb the states from the four pets before returning.

"Thank you, I lost."

Seeing Bai Qi even helping to treat his pets, the slight resentment Zhao Hai had harbored gradually dissipated.

Perhaps, he truly had the strength to defeat them all.
