Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 436: Chapter 432: Decoding the Soul Charm Curse Mark

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

Testing area.

Bai Qiucha removed her Skeleton Armor, stared at the unscathed Alpha in front of her, and took a deep breath, saying, “Let’s do this again!”

Then, as the Twilight Tomb required three days before they could continue their exploration, Bai Qiucha simply followed Bai Qi to the Super God Evolution Research Institute and trained with Alpha in actual combat every day.

Of course, the results were clear: a complete defeat.

However, Bai Qiucha seemed to adapt very well to this training method. There was no fatigue, and she fought with more and more spirit.

Spirit Master, was indeed a top-tier talent.

Clank. Clank.

(Alright.)

Alpha didn’t decline Bai Qiucha’s challenge either.

Though Bai Qiucha’s close combat skills weren’t as good as Li Xusheng’s, the dual enhancements from her Skeleton Armor and soul armor effectively improved her combat skills, so Alpha didn’t waste such an opportunity.

The three days of training brought no small gains to both Bai Qiucha and Alpha.

“Oh, Cha, you’re still training, huh? This pressure keeps me on my toes when I see you working so hard.”

As Bai Qiucha and her pet were about to continue their training, the door to the combat room was suddenly opened. The visitor was Luo Xiang.

“Brother Luo, why are you here?”

With Luo Xiang’s arrival, Bai Qiucha had no choice but to deactivate her battle mode. Alpha went off to one side and started training by itself.

Luo Xiang gave a slight nod, then turned to look at Bai Qiucha, saying, “I’ve spent a few days at Taize Lake. I came back for a break.”

Bai Qiucha sighed in relief but didn’t ask further.

She was aware of the matter concerning the Element Gate, but as it was not something to be discussed recklessly, she didn’t inquire further when Luo Xiang didn’t mention it.

“By the way, where’s Bai Qi? Isn’t he training with you?”

Luo Xiang looked around and didn’t see Bai Qi anywhere.

“Bai Qi should be on the top floor, he said he wanted to further perfect the Leap Evolution.”

Bai Qiucha explained.

“Leap Evolution? He really managed to work that one out?”

Luo Xiang seemed surprised upon hearing this. Although his research on runes far exceeded Bai Qi’s, Bai Qi’s understanding of Mystery Realm decoding and his craftsmanship with such devices were levels above Luo’s.

Bai Qiucha nodded and summoned a Thunder Rat to demonstrate the process on-site for Luo Xiang.

“So, it temporarily evolves into a future form to gain a short-term power increase, huh? ‘Leap Evolution’ is indeed a fitting name.”

Luo Xiang curiously examined the Thunder Rat for a while then said, “Let me guess, this is also prepared for the Spirit Controllers, right?”

“Supposedly so. However, I heard that President Qin came to see Bai Qi this morning, presumably for this very thing.”

“President Qin? Are you implying that this is also useful for the Beast Masters?”

Hearing this, Luo Xiang perked up, saying, “Then Cha, you continue training. I’ll go have a chat with Bai Qi.”

“Sure.”

Bai Qiucha nodded and then resumed her training with Alpha.

After countless attempts, she was quite certain about one thing.

When it came to runes, she definitely lacked talent.

…

At the top of the Research Institute.

Bai Qi handed a silver Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine to President Qin, saying, “This is the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine for the Ironhelm Rhino. Please, President, keep it safe.”

President Qin nodded and looked at the small machine in his hand, asking, “Just this little thing can actually make a pet beast temporarily evolve?”

“In theory, yes, but please note that this is only the initial version. There should be more adjustments in the future.”

Bai Qi shrugged. He had simply incorporated some of the structure from the Soul Charm and the armor structure from the Dragon Cub Beast. To further perfect it, he would need to glean more from the Soul Charm.

“That’s good.”

President Qin nodded with satisfaction and said, “Originally, getting a Spirit-Control Orb was just to make up for some regrets. I didn’t expect Spirit Controllers to be able to actually participate in real battles now.”

“President, at your age, why do you still want to engage in battle? Isn’t retirement appealing?”

Bai Qi looked at President Qin questioningly. In the past, his greatest dream would have been to find a corner and become an ordinary person.

If it weren’t for the need to earn enough money and elevate all his pet beasts to Legendary Level, he would definitely choose to do just that.

“Retire? Did you even give me a chance to retire?”

President Qin glared at Bai Qi. Though Bai Qi brought a lot of benefits for Gusu City, he also considerably increased his workload.

Not to mention anything else, just the registration and management of the Spirit Controllers had doubled his workload.

“Um, so it’s my fault?”

Bai Qi had an innocent look on his face, and then he heard knocking at the door. Like someone who found a savior, he ran to open it.

“Instructor Luo, you’re back?”

Seeing Instructor Luo at the door, Bai Qi couldn’t help but ask.

“Hmm, President Qin, you are here too.”

Luo Xiang nodded his head and greeted President Qin who was inside.

“I came to get this youngster to make me a leap-evolving armor of Steel Helmet Rhinoceros.”

President Qin, looking at the dusty Luo Xiang, asked, “Any gains from Taize Lake?”

“You could say that.”

Luo Xiang said, “The Element Gate made an appearance yesterday when I was unsealing the original seal, but it only lasted for an instant and then disappeared. Stabilizing it is a bit challenging.”

“As expected.”

President Qin sighed. Element Gates hadn’t appeared many times in history. Aside from the one controlled in Eden, all the other Element Gates had been transient.

If Luo Xiang managed to control this Element Gate all at once, he would find it strange.

“Alright, the association has a lot of things to handle, so I’ve got to go.”

President Qin looked at Bai Qi, “The opening of the Super God Evolution Research Institute is imminent, Bai Qi, you had better be prepared. There will be quite a few people attending.”

“Understood, thank you for the reminder, President.”

Bai Qi knew what was meant. Although the power of the Five Consortiums was gathered, and there was even the help of the association, there would still be troublemakers on the day of the opening ceremony.

But if soldiers blocked, water came to cover, bring it on.

Bai Qi escorted President Qin out of the office, then hurried back to the research area to consult Luo Xiang about the problems he encountered in the past two days.

“In just a few days you’ve already grasped it to this extent?”

Luo Xiang glanced at the few questions Bai Qi had proposed, somewhat surprised.

“It’s okay, I’ve been learning for a while.”

Bai Qi scratched his head. In order to save time, he had restarted dream learning over this period of time, constantly studying within the dreamland of Cordyceps.

Because of the fusion with the Dragon Department bloodline, the speed of time in the dreamland of Cordyceps compared to the outside world was becoming larger and larger. Although it only passed three days outside, almost a week had passed in the dreamland.

Hearing Bai Qi’s reply, Luo Xiang shrugged, the youngsters nowadays were just a little too studious.

If the scholars, who had been researching for a lifetime, heard his words from just now, they would probably quit from upset.

Nevertheless, complaint for complaint, Luo Xiang patiently answered Bai Qi’s questions and, in turn, started researching with Bai Qi.

As Bai Qi said, if it were possible to reverse-engineer the other structures of the Soul Charm, it would surely help enormously when facing the Death Round Table in the future.

Although it seemed difficult, he was naturally willing to help if he could.

With the help of Rune Master Luo Xiang, Bai Qi’s analytical speed skyrocketed. The original obscure Soul Charm gradually began to come into focus.

“The overall structure is finally clear.”

Bai Qi rubbed his somewhat sore eyes and said, “Comparing it to the Mechanical Engineering Department, the Soul Charm is like a signal receiving port, and there is another signal output port in the Death Round Table. The difference is, the signal of this Soul Charm is much stronger than the Mechanical Engineering Department’s sensory system.”

Being able to control across a secret realm, the technology of the Death Knights was seriously strong.

“That’s about right. However, we probably won’t be able to deduce the method of soul transfer from the Soul Charm, unless we can get the Death Round Table’s output curse imprint.”

Luo Xiang nodded his head, stretched his waist and said, “You continue to research on your own, I need to relax for a bit, if the Element Gate really opens, I’ll be busy.”

“The Element Gate can really be opened?”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up when he heard his words. Although there had been some accidents, the Element Gate in Eden had summoned many elemental creatures. If a gate could be found in Taize Lake, the number of Elemental System Beast Masters in the Federation would probably surge.

“I can’t say for sure yet, but if it appears more times, I may be able to stabilize it.”

Luo Xiang yawned and said, “You could also come over to help if you’re available. This was your doing after all, yet I’m the one having a rough time. I’ve been taken advantage of.”

“Ahem… The capable have more tasks, the capable have more tasks.”

Bai Qi scratched his head, indeed both initial mutation of Taize Lake and this incident were found by him. Luo Xiang was indeed taking the blame for him this time.

“Alright, I’m not going to argue with you, I have to go first, I’ll help with your problems next time.”

Luo Xiang waved to Bai Qi and left on his own.

“Ah… the more I research, the more I realize how much I don’t know.”

Looking at the complex curse mark analysis in front of him, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

The receiver can be handled, but it is indeed a bit difficult to reverse-engineer the output. After all, he had only been studying runes for half a year. It was somewhat forced to reverse-engineer such a complex alchemy rune.

And, the special alloy used by the Death Knight might also play a role. Some tests still needed to be done when the Bright Spirit Gold arrives.

“Never mind, I’ll think about other alternatives later. Outputting a soul … troublesome.”

Bai Qi scratched his head, turned off the holographic projection, and stopped thinking about it.

“It’s about time to go to the Twilight Tomb, this time I must clear the fourth floor.”
