Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 294: 290: The End of the Match

It was evident that this move was a hidden maneuver of the Fire Punch Bird. Judging from its speed and force, its destructive power was definitely far greater than the previous flaming punches.

“Garulu, use that attack!”

As he watched the gradually dissipating Ice Storm caused by the scorching heat of the rapidly descending Fire Punch Bird, Zhuge Chen’s face turned serious, and he promptly issued instructions to Garulu.

Howl…

Upon receiving the command, Garulu let out a long howl. In an instant, the Frozen Armor upon him released a radiant light, and a delicate ice ball slowly took shape next to Garulu’s mouth.

Subsequently, just before Fire Punch Bird was about to hit Garulu, a pale blue ray was suddenly emitted from the ice ball and hit the Fire Punch Bird.

In an instant, the previously fierce Fire Punch Bird was directly turned into a large chunk of ice, even the flames on its body were frozen, yet it was still falling rapidly.

One could imagine that if it landed in such a force, the ice block would shatter, causing severe injuries to the Fire Punch Bird.

At this moment, after using up the last bit of energy, Garulu conjured a rotating ice slide in the air, cleverly diffusing the force of Fire Punch Bird’s fall, finally allowing it to land safely on the ground.

“Looks like, the outcome is pretty clear.”

President Qin and others exchanged smiles. The Fire Punch Bird’s mutated attribute was not fully developed. In front of such unreasonable gear like the Rune Mechanical Armour, it was certainly unable to exploit any advantage.

However, this also proved that their view about Rune Mechanical Armors was correct.

This kind of equipment could definitely change the course of their future battles with the Ferocious Beast Tribe!

“The Fire Punch Bird has lost its combat ability, Zhuge Chen wins!”

Looking at the completely frozen Fire Punch Bird due to the Freeze Ray, Bai Qi evaluated its condition, announced the result of the competition, and then summoned Gamma to assist the Fire Punch Bird in recovering its normal status.

The Freeze Ray was a skill he studied later, emphasizing its freezing capability. Though it didn’t cause much perceptible damage, the frostbite brought by the extreme cold was terrifying.

“Thank you.”

Tang Qi obviously knew the damage caused by the Freeze Ray. Seeing the Fire Punch Bird warming up quickly under Gamma’s assistance, he promptly expressed his gratitude to Bai Qi.

“It’s all in a day’s work, no need to be so polite.”

Bai Qi waved his hand and looked at somewhat dispirited Fire Punch Bird, said: “Your Fire Punch Bird should be a fire attribute mutation, right?”

Tang Qi nodded, “Yes, the Fire Punch Bird originally was a Fire Claw Sparrow, but it suddenly evolved when I contracted with it.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood, “You’ve actually reared it very well. The combination of combat system and flame skills is also very strong. However, I suggest that you should lean towards fire attribute skills, the early gains may be larger.”

As a Beast Master who had contracted with three mutated species, Bai Qi was well aware of the advantages of the attributes mutation in the late stage. Though the growth of Spirit Controllers may be slower than Beast Masters, with proper growth, it would be a formidable force.

“I understand.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Qj nodded repeatedly, and unconsciously glanced at Garulu on the other side, who was also somewhat tired due to the exhaustion of energy.

Garulu’s combat ability was definitely not as strong as his Fire Punch Bird. If he was ever up close with the Fire Punch Bird, the result would be definitely different.

But Garulu incredibly managed to frustrate the Fire Punch Bird through ice attribute skills.

Although they said ice could restrain fire, similarly, fire could also resist ice. If the fire skills of Fire Punch Bird could be stronger, perhaps the outcome would be different?

Thinking about this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Tang Qi’s eyes.

He was not a fool, obviously noticing that Garulu’s ability came from the armor on its body. Without it, Fire Punch Bird could definitely suppress the opponent.

But he also knew clearly, like the innate skills of a Beast Master, equipment itself was also a kind of strength, just like the mutation attribute of Fire Punch Bird. They both were either unattainable or could be acquired in the late stage. What a pity! If only Fire Punch Bird had such a set of equipment.

Tang Qi’s change of expression fell into Bai Qi’s eyes. He looked around and noticed that surrounding Spirit Controllers were also discussing Garulu’s armor.

Indeed, the publicity effect of an armored pet beast defeating a mutant species was way stronger than a normal battle.

Thinking about this, Bai Qi and President Qin exchanged glances. The old and young foxes shared a smile, the court was handed to the Chairman Zhuge, then Bai Qi pulled the two people to the center of the stage, and also called up Jing Si who had directly advanced as the third due to Song Qiuying’s pet beast losing the battle.

Looking at the two people in front of him who were occasionally casting their glances at Garulu, Bai Qi cleared his throat: “On behalf of the Wuhou Corporation and the Association, I will distribute the top three rewards for this Spirit Controller competition.”

Upon finishing his words, Bai Qi took out three magnetic cards of different colors and handed them to the three people.

“As the top three in the first Spirit Controller Battle Championship, you are entitled to have the Rune Mechanical Armour research team of Wuhou Corporation provide a free custom-made armor for your pets, and you also have the right to keep your pet in Wuhou Breeding Pavilion for free for the rest of your life.”

“Rune Mechanical Armour?”

Not only Tang Qi and Jing Si but also the ears of all Spirit Controllers and Beast Masters watching the live broadcast stood up and focused on the Frozen Armor of Garulu.

“That’s right, the armor on Zhuge Chen’s Arctic Ice Wolf is Rune Mechanical Armour. I think everyone has already seen its effect.”

“Rune Mechanical Armour can maximize the ability of a pet beast and also provide an extra layer of protection for the pet beasts. It is the latest combat equipment for pet beasts developed by the Wuhou Corporation.”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Well, now I’ll hand it over to Chairman Zhuge.”

He had signed a confidentiality agreement, naturally, he could not casually reveal the designer of Rune Mechanical Armour.

So, adhering to the principle of ‘the more you say, the more you lose’, Bai Qi very decisively roped in Wuhou Corporation. And Zhuge Xu timely appeared on the stage, successfully drawing everyone’s attention to him.

As for Bai Qi, he quietly made his way backstage, observing Zhuge Xu effortlessly promote the Wuhou Dojo and Breeding Pavilion. He couldn’t help but smack his lips.

“Actually, for the sake of secrecy, shouldn’t this reward not come from me?”

Hearing this, Yi Yu chuckled and said, “Indeed, but your Rune Mechanical Layout and the Rune Mechanical Armour are too similar. If you don’t announce it, people might end up suspecting something. Just consider it keeping everything under the radar.”

“Moreover, your fake identity was handled personally by the Thirteenth Bureau. Nobody could find any loopholes in it. So, you can just act clueless.”

“But to be on the safe side, I included you in the Rune Mechanical Armour research team. We’ll wait for an opportune moment to have both of you appear simultaneously.”

After hearing Yi Yu’ s plan, Bai Qi couldn’ t help but give him a thumbs up.

This special agency really knew how to handle such situations professionally.

Bang!

At that moment, Bai Qi was suddenly punched by someone. Turning around, he saw President Qin.

“You rascal, managed to be late even for something this important. It seems I will have to take back your Secret Realm Ring.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi quickly grabbed onto his Secret Realm Ring and said, “President, this is unfair. I exchanged the Gemini Tower for this and furthermore…”

“Didn’t you mention last time that you aren’t accustomed to my punctuality?”

President Qin: “…”

This guy, with his deflection skills, can the association really trust him in the future?

He would definitely sell it out, right?

Of course, he would…

“Hahaha…I’m liking you more and more, Bai Qi.”

Luo Xiang gave Bai Qi a thumbs up and said, “I really wonder how Zhang Shan hasn’t been angered to death by you in the past few months.”

Bai Qi just shrugged innocently. During the training, he had always arrived on time. If anything, he just didn’t show up at all sometimes.

“Alright, since the Spirit Controller competition is over, I should head back to the Thirteenth Bureau. There are still quite a few matters that require my attention.”

Watching the competition drawing to a close, Yi Yu stood up and bid everyone farewell.

“Minister Yi, you’ve worked hard.”

President Qin nodded to Yi Yu, exchanged a few pleasantries and, along with everyone else, escorted him to the door.

“Everyone, hold on a moment.”

Yi Yu paused, looking at Bai Qi, he said, “Every time I meet you, Bai Qi, you give me a pleasant surprise. I hope the next time we meet, we’ll have some unexpected gains.”

“And my intuition tells me that it won’t be too long before that happens.”

“Well then, I will take my leave.”

Following his words, a ray of light descended from the sky and Yi Yu disappeared.

“Sheesh… Using Snare and Starry Sky Gate for travel, the Thirteenth Bureau really is extravagant.”

Bai Qi looked at the empty sky above him and couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

Although Delta had acquired the multifunctional Space Skill, Void Echo, by comparison to the colossal mechanical creation, Snare, it was noticeably inferior.

I wonder when I’ll be able to freely traverse space, never having to worry about being late again…

With Yi Yu’s departure, President Qin didn’t stay either, “Alright, since the Spirit Controller competition is over, I should get going as well. There are some things that need to be taken care of at the Association.”

Whether it’s the distribution and management of the Spirit-Control Orbs or the follow-up on the Rune Mechanical Armour, the Association had to step in. As the President, he had to put in extra effort.

Seeing President Qin about to leave, Bai Qi quickly stopped him, “President, do you know of a place where pets can fight freely?”

“Free fighting? Don’t you have the portable Secret Realm?”

President Qin looked at Bai Qi quizzically while Bai Qi just scratched his head, embarrassed, “Well, some of the pets are too rowdy. I’m afraid they might damage the Secret Realm, so I thought about finding another place to train.” “Afraid of damaging the Secret Realm? Do you usually train them to the death?”

Looking at Bai Qi, President Qin said, “Since Luo Xiang is free, let him test them at the Association and update your pet dictionary.”

“Um, is it really okay to let them fight at the Association? What if they break something?”

When Husky first assembled the Thunder Roar cannon, it caused considerable destruction. Now, even Delta’s gentle touches could dismantle Jade Valley so Bai Qi wondered if the Association could withstand the commotion caused by the pets.

“Relax, you won’t have to pay for anything!”

Seeing Bai Qi’s concern, President Qin rolled his eyes exasperatedly.

This guy’s already so rich, and he’s still so stingy.
