Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 631: Chapter 626: Fossil of the Dragon

The appearance of the Bond Curse Mark attracted the attention of everyone present, even their insect pets that were initially focused on the Prison Suppression Scorpion had unconsciously moved closer.

“When did you form a covenant with the Kui Thunder Insect, Zhuge Chen?”

Bai Qi moved closer to Zhuge Chen, looking at the gradually forming covenant atop the Kui Thunder Insect’s head, he could not help but ask.

“I didn’t actually form a covenant with it, it just seemed friendly towards me so I patted it, and this happened.”

Zhuge Chen looked innocent, waving his empty hand to indicate that he had not formed a private covenant.

“Just by touching it, a covenant was formed?”

Bai Qi looked at the fully-formed Bond Curse Mark above him, then at the still clueless Zhuge Chen, envy clearly visible on his face.

Others would first make a covenant using a Spirit-Control Orb, then slowly develop feelings that might create a Bond Curse Mark.

But for Zhuge Chen, it was completely the opposite. The Bond Curse Mark first manifested, and he accidentally formed the covenant.

This is a Child of Heaven and Earth indeed!

“No wonder he was the first Spirit Controller to awaken the Bond Curse Mark, this talent is truly strong.”

Lin Fugui gazed deeply at the purple mark above Zhuge Chen’s head, saying, “This Kui Thunder Insect and Young Brother Zhuge Chen must have a deep affinity. Since a covenant has already been made, I’ll give it to you. Consider it a meeting gift.”

“This…”

Zhuge Chen was rather embarrassed by his words, but Bai Qi quickly accepted on his behalf, saying, “Thank you, Legendary Lin.”

Originally, Bai Qi wanted to get Zhuge Chen a Thunder-series insect pet to fulfill some of his own desires. Now, he didn’t have to worry anymore as the covenant was made here directly.

Seeing Bai Qi accepting on his behalf, Zhuge Chen couldn’t help but laugh, and once again thanked Lin Fugui.

He and the Kui Thunder Insect had already formed a covenant, and it would be unrealistic to let him give it up. But getting something for free made him somewhat uncomfortable.

To quote from an online discussion, he felt that the covenant with this Kui Thunder Insect was somehow unstable. But since he had already made a covenant…

“Coincidentally, Spirit Controllers who have awakened a Bond Curse Mark are very rare in Cangzhe Academy and the quality of their pets is not high. There is no way to observe the effect of the Bond Curse Mark. Could Young Brother Zhuge also show us?”

After seeing Zhuge Chen take out a new Spirit-Control Orb and form a covenant with the Kui Thunder Insect, Lin Fugui proposed his own idea.

“Perform?”

Zhuge Chen was a bit hesitant, but the Kui Thunder Insect was very interested. Its body was covered in rolling thunder, and it looked eager to try.

“All right then.”

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly. Unlike the other creatures, the Kui Thunder Insect was a fully mature King Creature. He also wanted to see what would happen if he used the Bond Curse Mark at this time.

“Since we are demonstrating, we need an opponent. I’ll serve as the opponent.”@@novelbin@@

The Legendary of the Tomb Guard stepped forward, saying.

“Legendary Tomb Guard?”

Zhuge Chen saw that the Legendary Tomb Guard actually wanted to practice with him. His face turned red with excitement.

This is a Titled Legendary; ordinary people can’t even see them. And now he wanted to fight with them?

At that thought, Zhuge Chen suddenly straightened up, bowed to the Legendary Tomb Guard, and then introduced himself formally: “Spirit Controller, Zhuge Chen, pet King Creature Kui Thunder Insect.”

“Legendary Beast Master, Malik Ishaw, pet Legendary Creature Prison Suppression Scorpion.”

After both sides introduced themselves, the Prison Suppression Scorpion remained motionless, while Zhuge Chen was the first to start the attack without any hesitation.

The recently vanished purple mark reappeared, then transformed into armor that merged into the Kui Thunder Insect. The lightning on the surface of the Kui Thunder Insect suddenly turned purple.

Then, a purple thunderball slowly condensed at the mouth of the Kui Thunder Insect. It got bigger as the insect flapped its wings. The strong electric current even paralyzed some insect pets that didn’t retreat in time, causing them to fall to the ground.

“So, it didn’t evolve or mature faster, it increased its combat power?”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, taking a mental note.

He originally thought it could evolve from a King to an Emperor, but it seemed he had overestimated the Bond Curse Mark. However, the ability to enhance the attack strength at the current level was also not worse than the Beast Master Talent.

He just didn’t know if this was a special ability of this purple mark, or if all curse marks were like that.

He would have Zhang Shan and the others research it later.

Soon, the thunderball was fully formed, and even the Sixth Stage Beast Trainers such as Lin Wumu and Yang Ming were impressed by the power it contained.

If this level of attack could be used continuously, it could indeed fight against a Sixth Stage Beast Trainer.

Just then, the thunderball flew towards the Prison Suppression Scorpion. It seemed to move slowly, but it crossed the distance between them in an instant, appearing right in front of the Prison Suppression Scorpion.

Bang!!!

In a flash, the thunderball exploded, purple lightning danced wildly, and the ground of the Hidden Dragon Cave was easily torn into pieces by the lightning. The debris turned into black smoke and disappeared before hitting the ground.

But such a powerful attack didn’t damage the Prison Suppression Scorpion at all, as a golden portal in front of it blocked everything.

“It didn’t even break the defense?”

Zhuge Chen revealed a bitter smile at the sight. He had just formed a contract with the Kui Thunder Insect, and the last blow was the limit of his enhancement, yet it had only produced such a result, which was somewhat disheartening.

“It seems you still know too little about Beast Masters, Zhuge Chen.”

Upon seeing Zhuge Chen’s appearance, Liu Bei was speechless and started to enlighten Zhuge Chen.

“A Legendary Beast Master only needs to raise two Legendary creatures of the same class to compete for the Titled Legendary for that class. After a successful competition, they will choose a title that best matches their style.”

“And the Tomb Guardian, is a title that is most in line with his style of combat.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen seemed to understand. The Titled Legendary Tomb Guardian also walked over and laughed, “My Prison Suppression Scorpion excels at defense. Nothing can break it, unless it’s a Legendary creature.”

“However, the power you demonstrated just now is already comparable to a Fifth Stage Beast Master’s. If cultivated well, maybe one day, Spirit Controllers can truly become integrated into the Beast Control System, outside of Beast Masters.”

The praise from the Titled Legendary Tomb Guardian revived Zhuge Chen’s spirit, and those professors from the Cangzhe Academy were also astonished.

It seemed that the Spirit Controller, who had received the recognition of the Titled Legendary, was not as insignificant as they had thought?

It was difficult to get started, to grow, the maximum potential was unknown, the performance was unstable, and the duration of the fight was short…

These were the problems that Spirit Controllers encountered in real battles, but it seemed that none of these existed for Zhuge Chen.

“Tsk, tsk…You possess the power of a five-stage Beast Master in such a short time. Zhuge Chen, why do I feel that you progress faster than I do?”

Bai Qi slapped Zhuge Chen’s shoulder teasingly, while Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance, chuckling silently to himself.

Wasn’t that just praising Bai Qi, the founder of Spirit Controllers?

“Alright, now that you two have both demonstrated, let’s continue our journey,” said Lin Fugui, clapping his hands, signaling everyone to move on and Nicholas, who was impatiently waiting, was the first to follow.

“Let’s move on. I can hardly wait.”

Nicholas, with a face full of anticipation, pushed Bai Qi to move quickly. If it weren’t for Lin Fugui leading the way, Nicholas would have rushed off by himself.

The Hidden Dragon Cave was winding and labyrinthine. There were countless caves behind one cave. Bai Qi followed Lin Fugui for a long time and couldn’t see the end of the road.

Instead, he saw many different kinds of Insect pets.

And obviously, the deeper they went, the more Dragon characteristics these insects started to show.

“We’re here.”

Finally, Lin Fugui stopped and pointed to a few creatures in front of him that had little difference from the flying Dragon, saying, “These creatures have relatively strong Dragon lineage. Director Bai, would you like to use these creatures to test the awakening potion?”

“I can do that, but I personally suggest we do some testing first.”

Bai Qi helplessly looked at Lin Fugui. The side effects of the awakening potion hadn’t been resolved yet, so this attempt was not the most effective method.

After all, the Insect Grass was able to successfully awaken the Dragon lineage and transform into its current Insect Dragon form, thanks in no small part to the Evolution Egg.

“No problem, the Hidden Dragon Cave can absorb this consumption.”

Lin Fugui, clearly eager to see the effect of the awakening potion, didn’t care about his own consumption, pushing forward with extraordinary ambition.

“Alright then.”

Bai Qi took out several bottles of the awakening potion and handed them to Lin Fugui. Lin Fugui immediately had his Scythe of Death seize a few insect pets and started testing the awakening potion.

Even if there’s only one, as long as one of these insect pets can metamorphose into an Insect Dragon, he can be completely at ease.

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn’t stop him, looking around the surroundings with curiosity

Liu Bei had previously mentioned that the birth of the Hidden Dragon Cave was due to something called a Coiling Dragon Stone, but as he walked, he had not seen anything similar.

It seemed that they were still not in the central area of the Hidden Dragon Cave. At least he hadn’t seen that legendary two-legged flying dragon.

“Nicholas, have you found anything? Nicholas?”

Bai Qi wanted to ask Nicholas, but he found the latter sneaking a peek at something. He leaned in and saw that Nicholas had opened the Jade World interface and was searching around.

“Almost forgot about this.”

Bai Qi’s eyes brightened. He looked back at the crowd, whose attention was all on Lin Fugui, and continued his search.

“Found it!”

Finally, Nicholas stopped his Jade Vision. An odd stone that still retained traces of green was presented before Bai Qi and Nicholas.

“Is this the Coiling Dragon Stone?”

Bai Qi, looking at the peculiar stone, wondered. He thought for a moment and then urged Nicholas to raise the Jade Vision’s field of view.

And, as a result, Bai Qi finally saw the true face of the Coiling Dragon Stone.

On a huge, green, round stone, a skull skeleton was embedded. Although it was a bit vague, Bai Qi and Nicholas were still able to identify the owner of the skeleton.

The skull came from an Eastern Dragon!
