Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 626: Chapter 621: Who Says Being Poisoned Means I Can’t Fight?

The final battle of the Insect Fighting Tournament ended swiftly, with winners emerging from various stages. They received their awards from the senior high-stage Beast Masters.

The tournament was originally designed to allow mid and low-level Beast Masters to showcase their skills, so those who had already advanced to the fifth stage like You Xi wouldn’t participate.

“So, Master Bai, it’s our turn now.”

Lin Wumu looked at Bai Qi, issuing the invitation to fight once again.

“Alright.”

Bai Qi let out a somewhat helpless sigh. Beating up an old professor in front of thousands of students would affect his perfect image.

The host of the Insect Fighting Tournament was well aware of Bai Qi and Lin Wumu’s impending fight. After the award ceremony, he announced their matchup.

“Professor Lin can actually fight? I always thought he only knew the theory.”

“Haha… Are you a freshman of Cang Zhe Academy? Who doesn’t know that Professor Lin was an invincible sixth stage Insect System master before he became a teacher?”

“Um… Why was he an invincible sixth stage Insect System master?”

“Nonsense, there’re invincibles in other systems too!”

“I see, comparatively invincible.”

“But you guys think, is Bai Qi really a match for Professor Lin? I remember Bai Qi has only been a sixth stage master for a few months.”

“What, it’s been several months already? Has Bai Qi hit a plateau recently?”

“23333…”

The students chattered, but they were all very interested in this fight.

One was a veteran Beast Master, whose image as an old professor overshadowed his Beast Master prowess.

And the other was a young genius renowned in the Federation for his all-round development—morally, intellectually, physically, socially, and aestically.

Their fight promised to be extremely thrilling.

“Since I initiated the battle invitation, I’ll leave the rules up to you, Master Bai. Do you want a team battle or an individual one?”

Lin Wumu extended his hand towards Bai Qi, saying.

“Uh… let’s go with an individual one. I only have this one Insect System beast.”

After a moment’s thought, Bai Qi still chose an individual fight.

Alpha’s battle power was becoming increasingly abnormal, and Gamma’s attribute superiority was overwhelming. If these two fought, there would be no role for their insects.

“Very wise choice.”

Lin Wumu revealed an expecting expression. Insect creatures are one of the best at group warfare, so opting for group battle would not be advantageous for Bai Qi.

Thinking thus, Lin Wumu summoned his beast—a giant spider the size of two or three grown-ups.

“Six Stage Beast Master, Lin Wumu, pet beast: Emperor-level creature, Queen Spider Demon.”

“Another spider… so unoriginal.”

Bai Qi shrugged when he saw this, it seemed that the Cang Zhe Academy really had a predilection for toxic creatures like spiders, failing to showcase the diversity of the Thundering Forest.

Bad review.

Bai Qi internally criticized them, but called upon his own beast—the Insect Dragon in its whole new form. As soon as it made its entrance, it immediately dazzled everyone.

“Six Stage Beast Master, Bai Qi, pet beast: King Creature, Bright Sun Dream Dragon.”

“What the heck!!! It was supposed to be an Insect Fighting Tournament, what does summoning a giant dragon mean?”

“Doesn’t this seem like an Insect Race Dragon? Has the Dean’s Breaking the Void research been successful?”

“Are you blind? It’s Bai Qi’s summoned beast, how could the Dean share his research results with others?”

“Hisss… So does this mean Bai Qi has completed the Insect Dragon fusion?”

“Seems like it.”

The new form of the Insect Dragon immediately caused a stir, including among Lin Fugui and the tomb guard in the observation room, who both looked startled.

“It transformed from an insect form to an Insect Dragon form in just one night, the Super God Evolution Research Institute is really something.”

Lin Fugui looked at Liu Bei beside him and laughed.

“So, the awakening potion of the Bing Yu Branch has succeeded?”

Hearing Lin Fugui’s words, Liu Bei showed a slight smile, “Lin Chuanqi, you’re joking. Our awakening potion at Bing Yu Branch is still under development, the main reason for the birth of the Bright Sun Dream Dragon is definitely Chairman.”

Liu Bei’s words weren’t false. After all, he had conducted many experiments with the awakening potion, and he had tried it on insect pets with dragon lineage, but none of them turned out like this.

Although Bai Qi mentioned the effects of the awakening potion, Liu Bei was certain that Bai Qi must have taken other measures as well.

However, whether Lin Fugui would believe him was another matter.

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Bei’s “evasive words”, Lin Fugui showed a knowing look but didn’t say anything. Instead, he quietly watched the stage.

It would only be clear whether it was a dragon or an insect after the fight.

“A King Creature?”

Lin Wumu slightly frowned. The aura the Insect Dragon exuded when it first appeared was undeniably dragon’s dominance. He thought it was an Emperor-level creature, but it turned out to be just a King Creature.

“In that case, I suppose I should switch to a King creature too.”

Lin Wumu pondered, planning to change his pet.

His challenge towards Bai Qi was merely to discern if the rumors about the young man’s exceptional talent were true and to awaken the blind worshippers in the academy.

But if Bai Qi won solely by leveraging his higher bloodline level, the victory would be meaningless.

“There’s no need for that. We’re good as is.”

Bai Qi waved his hands dismissively in response.

Although he wasn’t clear about the power of the Queen Spider Demon, Bai Qi was certain that it was absolutely not an opponent an ordinary King Creature could handle.

The mythical insect bloodline, the pure green dragon bloodline – no creature birthed from the balance of these two bloodlines could be weak.

If he attacked too fiercely, Bai Qi honestly doubted he could safely exit the Cang Zhe Academy.

“Humph! These young people, they’re so arrogant!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wumu’s face darkened, reinforcing his belief that Bai Qi was nothing more than a pretentious brat with undue backing from his elders.

“Uh, did I make another faux-pas?”

Bai Qi wore a confused expression, clueless as to where he offended the old professor.

In his mind, he wondered if it could be due to his extravagant entrance earlier, sighing that he shouldn’t have listened to Liu Bei. Without a reason, he had antagonized someone and that was quite troublesome.

Bai Qi was mentally perplexed, while on the other side, the referee announced the start of the match.

“Young man, let me teach you the correct fighting technique of insect creatures.”

Lin Wumu gestured, and the Queen Spider Demon suddenly began to spew spider silk. In an instant, a white spider web formed and moved to envelop the Chongcao.

“The physical strength of insects is lesser than other creatures on a whole. So, regardless of the opponent, maintaining control from the onset is always the best choice.”

As a seasoned teacher, Lin Wumu was habituated to teaching while fighting. The students around also weren’t idle and listened attentively, with some taking out their notebooks to note down insights.

The Queen Spider Demon’s web was immense, covering the entire battle platform. Even after the web took form, the Queen Spider Demon continued to spew spider silk, altering the battlefield.

This web was not only incredibly sticky, but it was also extremely poisonous. In such an environment, whoever made the first move had already lost a step to the Queen Spider Demon.

“An Emperor using such caution to battle a King; indeed a veteran instructor.”

Observing the unfolding situation, Bai Qi showed a hint of admiration yet remained undaunted.

It’s just a spider web…

As expected, just as the spider web was about to cover Chongcao, the green patterns on its body simultaneously lit up, molding the form of a sun wheel.

Swoosh, swoosh…

Simultaneously, the spider web fell onto Chongao, but contrary to Lin Wumu’s prediction, it didn’t ensnare Chongcao. Instead, it immediately burned and shrank into a ball.

“Is this the bloodline power of the Sun Beetle?”

Seeing this, Lin Wumu remembered the attribute of Chongcao mentioned by a student named Yang Ming and furrowed his brows.

It was well-known among everyone that Bai Qi’s five pets were of mythical species. Could it be that this insect dragon was actually something Bai Qi nurtured?

“Queen Spider Demon, attack!”

Smelling the scent of rotten eggs in the air, Lin Wumu immediately ordered the Queen Spider Demon to change its fighting style, only to find that the Demon seemed to be in a trance, not responding immediately to his command.

“Queen Spider Demon, what are you doing!”

Seeing the state of the Demon, Lin Wumu’s eyes hardened. Using the bond between them, he forcefully awakened the Queen Spider Demon. The Demon woke up as if from a dream, realizing the problem only then.

It had unknowingly dozed off.

“Did it start using the sleep spell when the Queen Spider Demon was spinning webs? Good strategy.”@@novelbin@@

A hint of appreciation flashed across Lin Wumu’s eyes. Though the move was risky, taking the opponent’s control advantage was certainly a great choice.

However, the ability to enter dreams was essentially suicidal when there were no allies to support you.

Looking at the Chongcao, still in the dream state, trying to pull the Queen Spider Demon into the dreamland, Lin Wumu’s eyes narrowed. The Spider Demon immediately transformed into a blur, swinging its scythe-like claws to charge at the Chongcao.

Spiders have always been quick in hunting their prey once trapped.

Nevertheless, just as the Queen Spider Demon was about to get near Chongcao, the supposedly unconscious Chongcao agilely dodged. With a sweeping motion, it clawed at the Spider Demon.

“It woke up just in time?”

Lin Fugui was astonished but it grew even more when he saw Chongcao’s still closed eyes and received feedback that the Spider Demon continued to be under the assault of the dream state.

Can it still move after falling asleep?

Lin Fugui had an epiphany but opted for the same combat strategy, not considering the Queen Spider Demon’s injuries, choosing to fight in close-quarters against Chongcao.

Though the insect pets were weaker compared to other creatures, their vitality was exceptionally high proving the minor injuries incapable of affecting the Queen Spider Demon.

Besides, casually approaching an insect pet that potentially contained potent poison was undoubtedly the worst decision.

As expected, with Chongcao continuously inflicting damage on the Queen Spider Demon, some places on its body began to show varied colors, with scales being corroded obliviously.

“Your pet has been poisoned by Queen Spider Demon’s tailored toxin. This toxin quietly corrodes an organism’s organs and tissues. Judging from the time, apart from the brain, your other organs should have been paralyzed by now. So, give up.”

Lin Wumu advised Bai Qi to surrender, but Bai Qi simply shook his head nonchalantly and replied, “How does being poisoned mean that I can’t fight? I just need to detoxify.”
