Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

After the initial successful ambush, Husky’s attacks became increasingly cautious, refusing to rapidly engage with Alpha no matter how Alpha probed.

However, Alpha had no intention of continuing to wait. With a heavy stomp of his feet, countless bone spurts imbued with the power of shadows burst out from the metallic ground, instantly covering the whole area.

It was the Shadow Lotus Skill, a move Alpha hadn’t used in a long time.

Forced by the Shadow Lotus Skill, the werewolf that Husky had turned into couldn’t hide any longer. Bursting from the ground with an angry growl, the power of the Demonic Roar was immediately bestowed upon the werewolf, increasing both its speed and power simultaneously.

Subsequently, the werewolf skillfully evaded the surrounding bone spurs trying to catch it. It easily walked up to Alpha and initiated a series of attacks with its wolf claws, plainly not intending to let Alpha swing his sword.

However, Alpha didn’t back down. So he simply threw the Gravity Sword, controlling it along with other blades to attack Husky, while his arms transformed into bone blades and tangled with Husky.

Although Alpha was superior to Husky in both speed and combat experience, the werewolf that Husky had become could always predict Alpha’s actions in advance. It acted on both offense and defense as if waiting for Alpha. Astonishingly, it wrested the initiative in the battle from Alpha.

Click, click.

Looking at the reborn werewolf in front of him, Alpha’s aura began to slowly shift. His attack speed, which was already beyond the visual tracking capabilities, skyrocketed further. Bai Qi even felt as if Alpha’s arms had disappeared.

After the close combat between both sides exchanged several dozens of moves, the flustered werewolf was eventually hit by the Gravity Sword. The sudden increase in weight took away its ability to counterattack, and it was directly targeted by numerous blades from Alpha.

When faced with the sharp blades that had locked onto its entire body, the werewolf gave up resisting with extreme composure. It surrendered and its figure began to twist incessantly, seemingly ready to revert to its original shape.

Just then, the werewolf suddenly exploded. The Etherium Liquid Gold engulfed all the blades and the Gravity Sword, forcibly dragging them into the ground. But no trace of Husky could be seen anywhere.

This werewolf was merely a decoy body that Schuck Beta had created using Etherium Liquid Gold.

Alpha, sensing that he had been tricked, also felt somewhat surprised. He then instinctively swung his Bone Blade towards his rear.

Indeed, there was another werewolf behind him, but it was still not Husky. It, too, was a decoy body made of Etherium Liquid Gold. The Etherium Liquid Gold took advantage of the confusion to spread onto Alpha’s body, gradually enveloping him.

When this happened, the Fire of Soul in Alpha’s eye sockets surged. A rich aura of shadows spread out from the Crystal bones, constantly corroding the surrounding Etherium Liquid Gold. Simultaneously, Alpha’s bones continuously grew and entangled, clearly signaling an attempt to break free with force.

At that moment, a red dot appeared on top of Alpha’s head. Following the direction from where the red dot extended, one could see a two-headed wolf at the original location of a turret. The wolf was carrying a sniper rifle and aiming at them.

AwuAwu!

(Stinky Bone, I won-)

Beta, who had locked onto Alpha’s only weak point, clearly seemed a bit smug. But Schuck was still very solemn, saying, “Don’t be too arrogant, our attacks might not penetrate Alpha’s skull defense.”

As the metronome who trained all four pets, it knew that Alpha had deliberately strengthened his skull’s defenses. One of the runes Bai Qi had set up for Alpha was Fortitude.

If their attack couldn’t break Alpha’s defense, they, having exposed their position, would certainly end up being beaten up by Alpha.

After all, you can’t expect a scientist to fight a professional warrior.

Woof Woof!

(No problem, Stinky Bone certainly won’t be able to break free from our control.)

No sooner had he finished speaking than Alpha, who had initially been tightly restrained by the Etherium Liquid Gold, was suddenly enveloped by a shadow. His body appeared to turn into a shadow, and the Etherium Liquid Gold that had tightly wrapped him missed its mark.

Awu!

(Damn it! We’ve been tricked by Stinky Bone!)

Upon seeing Alpha disappear, Beta instinctively sensed something wrong. Before it could even change its position, it felt a chill on the back of its neck. A bone blade was already at its head.

Click, click.

(You lost.)

Beta turned its head to look at the cold-faced Alpha behind it. With its head drooped in apparent disappointment, Schuck quietly shook his head and said, “We lost.”

Clap! Clap! Clap!…

“Nicely done – quite an exciting fight.”

As Bai Qi applauded, he smiled and looked at the twin pets, saying, “You both did well. Alpha’s fighting power and Schuck Beta’s tactics are both worth learning from.”

Chomp chomp.

(Although Gamma didn’t understand it, it seemed very powerful.)

Blub blub!

(Alpha’s combat experience is very strong. Delta needs to learn from him.)

Gamma and Delta also agreed with Bai Qi’s comment. Although Alpha had held back some of his power, this small scale battle also couldn’t bring out the advantage of the Mechanical Lord skills of Husky. So the fight could be considered more or less fair.

However, it was clear that Alpha was more skilled.

Alpha’s ability to melt into the shadows by using the Shadow Lotus Skill was something Bai Qi hadn’t thought of since Alpha had gradually changed his fighting style. But it turned out that Alpha hadn’t forgotten it.

Indeed, he was born an assassin, he couldn’t abandon his roots.

Awu…

(My Mythical Material is gone…)

Beta hung its head rather forlornly, appearing completely despondent. Its previous transcendent state of mind, attained through chanting, was now entirely shattered, making it express a tone of a shattered heart.

Bai Qi patted the head of Husky and comforted him, saying, “Don’t be so downhearted. You performed well already. Keep trying next time.”

Schuck and Beta’s performance was indeed marvelous. Whether it was their tactical arrangements or the close combat with Alpha, had it not been for Alpha’s Speed Variation which was somewhat overpowered, they might have been able to hold on a little longer.

Moreover, the ability Beta showed in predicting in advance was indeed stunning.

Awu?

(Can’t beat him now, let alone next time? Who knows how strong that stinky bone will become after eating another piece of mythical resource.)

Beta still wasn’t relieved and ruthlessly exposed the harsh reality.

“That’s true.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, although he hadn’t figured out which aspects to strengthen Alpha, whatever it was, Alpha’s combat power would skyrocket, making him even harder to beat.

“Well… In that case, let’s do it this way, we’ll take turns from now on. Alpha has already won the victory of the first round of resource competition, and can’t participate in the following matches anymore, he can continue to participate only after the first round is fully over.”

His original intention of organizing this team internal competition was just to give the pets some motivation for mutual promotion. He couldn’t favor one pet over the other. Everyone would get what they deserved, it’s just a matter of time.

Aside from the basic benefits for each pet, the resource competition would be divided into several rounds where the winner would automatically quit the current round.

“Such arrangement works.”

Hearing Bai Qi’s arrangement, Schuck nodded, while Beta’s spirits immediately lifted, casting an ill-intentioned gaze towards Gamma and Delta.

If he couldn’t beat that stinky bone, could he still not beat these two young ones?

Seeing Beta successfully stepping out of the shadow, Bai Qi also smiled, suddenly remembering Beta’s series of predictions, he asked, “Beta, has your perception skill awakened?”

Awo?

(Awakened? When?)

“Nevermind, I’ll check myself.”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly, putting his hand on the Husky’s head.

[Name]: War Apostle (Beta)

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

[Growth Level]: Four Stage One Level

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

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

As expected, have the perception skills awakened?

[Skill Name]: Mind’s Eye

[Skill Level]: High Level

[Skill Effect]: Accurately perceives everything with mind’s eye. Can sense incoming attacks based on external fluctuations for dodging

No wonder he dodged so timely, it turns out he sensed it earlier with Mind’s Eye.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Gamma and Delta, saying: “Next is you two, get ready.”

The twin pets nodded their heads, just about to enter the battlefield when they realized that the battlefield was already a mess, making proper combat impossible.

“Cough cough, Alpha, get the Six Corpse to clean up the field.”

Rattle Rattle.

(Okay, boss.)

On Alpha’s instruction, Six Corpse was immediately summoned. Being the actual creator of the base, Six Corpse immediately picked up various tools and began to repair the field expertly.

About half an hour later, the previously devastated battlefield was mostly restored. Although some facilities hadn’t been repaired, it was enough for combat.

“This skill is excellent, if it weren’t for the fear of scaling up, who in the Federation would be my opponent in infrastructure work!”

Bai Qi was very satisfied with Six Corpse’s work. Watching the double-headed wolf pets, one by one, entering the battlefield, he said, “Are you ready?”

Crack Pop Crack Pop!

(Gamma is ready!)

Throom Throom.

(Delta will try his best.)

“Alright, second round, basic welfare group: Gamma VS Delta. The match begins!”

Compared to Alpha and Husky’s fierce attacks, the pace of Delta and Gamma’s fight was obviously slower.

Because Savage Charge was his only means of attack, Delta didn’t rush to attack, but cautiously circled around Gamma, looking for opportunities.

Gamma, on the other hand, was only too happy to oblige, unfolding Deadly Poison Aura, Energy Absorption Aura, and his newly mastered Sacrificial Aura one by one.

After the green, red, and dark tri-colored aura unfolded, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed instantly. A hot, odd-smelling wind gradually drifted towards Bai Qi and the others.

Woof Woof!

(Poisonous gas? When did Gamma start releasing poisonous gas?)

Beta was the first to detect the problem and immediately stopped breathing. Bai Qi, on the other hand, immediately grabbed the Green Dragon Scale and expelled the poisonous gas.

“Could it be that the toxins from Deadly Poison Aura were baked by the Sacrificial Aura into poisonous gas? This attack range has directly upgraded from flat to spatial.”
