Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 171
Chapter 170: Young People Should Still Be a Bit Arrogant

Looking at the Earth Elemental that seemed as colossal as a giant, a smile subtly tugged on Bai Qi’s mouth.
It was like he was sleeping and someone had given him a pillow, such a large and living target was much more valuable for reference than the inert Metal Sabertooth Tiger that Schuck had brought out.
“Alpha, Sword Blade Storm, use the final version.”
Crackle, crackle.
(Understood, master.)
Frustrated by the Earth Elemental’s Million Ton Punch, Alpha was already miffed. Now facing the Earth Elemental’s full-on attack, even if Bai Qi hadn’t said anything, he would have gone full force.
The sharp blades that were originally hovering behind Alpha’s head, as well as Withering and Gravity Twin Swords, began to rotate around Alpha under the pull of the fierce wind. Even the ground around Alpha showed traces of being cut. There were even slight cracks appearing on some of the Earth Elemental’s stone fists.
“Is this, a Super Skill?”
Feng Ye’s expression stiffened momentarily, but he didn’t show intentions of backing down.
Bai Qi was using a Super Skill, but wasn’t his own Million Ton Punches – Hundred Fist Style the same? And Bai Qi’s skill clearly required time to build up, this time was enough for the Earth Elemental to defeat the opponent.
One punch, just one punch to trigger the Ten Thousand Ton attack and the victory in this battle would be his.
But Feng Ye underestimated Alpha’s power. Although Sword Blade Storm had not fully ignited, Alpha had released the suppression of Wind Wound and was still causing the Earth Elemental some considerable trouble.
When the Earth Elemental’s stone fist neared Alpha, Alpha’s surroundings were already filled with sword blades, and the Sword Blade Storm finally began to reveal its might.
With continuous boosting from Alpha, the rotating speed of the Sword Blade Storm got faster and faster. In the end, the shape of the sword blades was completely invisible, leaving only a rapidly rotating hurricane.
“Ye won’t lose, right? This skill seems more reliable than Ye’s.”
“He shouldn’t. After all, Ye is almost at the Four Stage, and he is an Elemental System beast. He definitely has an advantage in Energy Value, he shouldn’t fail”
“That’s good, I’ve put all my monthly allowance into this bet.”
As these people were discussing, Sword Blade Storm and the Earth Elemental’s Million Ton Punch finally collided.
In an instant, hundreds of the Earth Elemental’s stone fists shattered, rock fragments flew in the sky, but they turned to powder before they touch the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
“No wonder the president had Luo Xiang bring him along. If we exclude King Level standpoint, this skill can already pose an initial threat to King Level creatures…”
Chun Yushui watched with interest as Alpha displayed his skill, then turned his gaze to Feng Ye.
“If the trigger doesn’t occur soon, Ye is going to lose.”
Just as Chun Yushui’s thought came up, Alpha’s Sword Blade Storm hesitated for a moment, and some metal fragments were scrapped. They were visibly broken by the Earth Elemental’s Million Ton Punch.
Actually triggered?
Since when can a chief be saved by quantity?
Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, while Feng Ye was overjoyed.
It really triggered. Ten Thousand Ton Punch, he didn’t believe a small skeleton could withstand it.
However, to everyone’s surprise, although the Sword Blade Storm was hit by a stone fist and left a gap, and even fell on Alpha, Alpha’s body flashed with a golden light. He slightly staggered, but beyond that, there was no further movement, and the Sword Blade Storm continued to spin once again.
Tyrant Body.
Although the Sword Blade Storm had a long start-up, it couldn’t be flexibly used like Withering Breath. But with Wind Wound causing damage beforehand and Tyrant Body ignoring the damage later, this start-up time could be ignored.
Seeing that Alpha actually blocked the Earth Elemental’s Million Ton Punch, Feng Ye was suddenly stunned. But at this moment, the Earth Elemental was gradually entering the range of the Sword Blade Storm.
The brittle outer shell of the Earth Elemental was completely shattered with a light touch from the Sword Blade Storm, revealing the Earth Elemental’s true body.
As an elemental creature, the Earth Elemental had extremely strong physical defense. Even when cut by the sword blade, it did not immediately collapse, leaving only a series of sword marks.
But every time a blue sword light flashed, the Earth Elemental’s body would become as fragile as tofu, and its defense would be instantly broken.
“Ye, that’s enough. There’s no need to keep going.”
Seeing this, Chun Yushui finally spoke up, and Feng Ye did not make any fuss. After sighing, he quickly admitted his defeat.
“Damn, Ye really lost, lost to a newbie. What’s the newbie’s name? I’m going to teach him a lesson.”
“This kid was brought by Luo Xiang, are you sure?”
“What, that bastard Luo Xiang, then the more I need to…treat him well.”
“Ah, my living expenses, I really have to eat dirt this month.”
“It’s okay, the boss must have made a lot on this bet, go to his place and freeload some food and drinks.”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
The battle ended, most people wore mournful expressions on their faces. There was no helping it, they all chose the more familiar Feng Ye, but ended up losing everything they had.
However, a small number of people did make the correct bet.
And one of them was reasonably Feng Ye!
Bai Qi looked at Feng Ye, who took out the voucher, in surprise, asking, “Did you bet on yourself losing?”
Feng Ye shrugged, “Yes. I am notoriously bad at gambling, so of course I have to bet on the other side. If I win, I lose a month’s living expenses. If I lose, I can still make a comeback, so it’s a no-loss situation.”
Good boy, this was indeed sobering.
Bai Qi silently gave Feng Ye a thumbs up, and was about to find Chun Yushui to collect his prize when he noticed that the stone table in front of Chun Yushui and the betting list had turned into fragments at some point.
“Damn it, Master Chun, you’re cheating again!”
Seeing Chun Yushui in this state, Feng Ye’s face darkened instantly, and the other beast masters that also won their bets started to protest in unison.
“What do you mean by cheating? Gambling is wrong, and I’m just guiding you all towards the right path,” said one.
“Stop your blabbering, you are the dealer, and you still cheated!” argued another.
“Ridiculous. I have always maintained my integrity and never indulged in such filthy activities.”
“Master Chun is great, and we do not tolerate gambling!”
“Um, brother, I think you missed something.”
Watching the uproarious mess that had become of Chun Yushui and the others amused Bai Qi.
It seemed the pressure to decode the secrets of the realm had gotten to them. Their current state was a far cry from their disciplined demeanor during the day.
However, it was an amusing sight.
Watching Chun Yushui pursued madly by Feng Ye, Bai Qi realized why the association let a seemingly unreliable drunkard take charge of the development of the Emperor’s Secret Realm.
If it had been someone like Yi Yu from the Thirteenth Bureau, these Beast Masters would have gone mad, wouldn’t they?
The next day.
Knock, knock, knock…
A series of knocking sounds came through, and Bai Qi immediately put away the half-played Rune Rubik’s Cube in his hand and opened the door.
“I was wondering if you were still asleep. Hurry up, have some breakfast, and then I’ll show you around this place.”
Despite being defeated by Bai Qi the day before, Feng Ye didn’t seem to mind at all. He enthusiastically led Bai Qi to the cafeteria.
Many people were already dining in the cafeteria. Bai Qi recognized a couple of them as the liveliest from last night. Still, they were now seriously discussing rune decoding with their partners.
“Feels quite different from last night, right? We always do it this way here— work when it’s time to work, and relax when it’s time to relax. We never mix them up. You’ll get used to it.”
Hearing Feng Ye’s explanation, Bai Qi could not help but give him a thumbs up. This level of work-life balance was unheard of in his previous world.
“Bai Qi, you’re here. Quickly eat something, Lao Zhou’s breakfast is quite good.”
Seeing Bai Qi, Chun Yushui, who was also having breakfast, quickly waved them over.
As Bai Qi approached Chun Yushui, he was met with the strong smell of alcohol.
“Uncle Chun, are you already drinking so early in the morning?”
Looking at Chun Yushui, who was chugging a bottle of alcohol, Bai Qi felt utterly baffled.
Weren’t work and private life supposed to be separate? Why was he drinking during work hours?
“This is the second thing you need to get used to.”
Feng Ye shrugged, saying, “Master Chun loses his motivation when he’s not drunk. The drunker he gets, the more efficient he is at deciphering the secrets of the realm.”
You can distinguish runes even after drinking? Are you kidding me?
“You’ll understand when you see it for yourself. I didn’t believe it at first either.”
Feng Ye chuckled and then brought a breakfast plate for Bai Qi.
“We should eat something first. Then I will introduce you to this place. You’re good at studying runes. Perhaps you can help me decode a vault.”
Bai Qi scratched his head, saying, “I wouldn’t call myself a Rune Expert, I might not be of much help.”
Although he had spent quite some time studying runes and had achieved some success, he mainly focused on battle runes. The runes on the entrance were primarily restrictive, making him no different from Xiao Bai.
“Bai Qi, there’s no need to be so modest here. The more abilities you show, the more respect you will earn from others.”
Chun Yushui spoke seriously, ‘Tve reviewed your performance during the training period. While it’s good to hold back, if you hide your talents too much, you might end up looking foolish. Young people should be more arrogant.”
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded seriously. He occasionally worried about being too prominent, but it turned out that he had been too low-key instead.
No wonder those guys kept watching him, as if they were eager to gang up and beat him.
Ah, when he returned this time, he would put on a good show and “convince” them all at once.
At the Association headquarters.
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!
Suddenly, Ran Xu sneezed a few times. The spray flying everywhere made Qiao Li frown.
“Did you catch a cold? It’s only late August.”
Ran Xu shook his head, saying, “I’m not sure. I suddenly felt a chill down my spine as if something bad was about to happen.”
“Perhaps you’re stressing too much lately. Recently, that Gu Shan has also begun to bloom. With Beast Control Space enhancement and Elemental Resonance Talent, why are all the young people ruthless now?”
“It’s not bad. At least compared to Bai Qi, it’s…” Achoo!
“Perhaps you should pay a visit to the Moon Night Tower. The dissection class is about to begin, and you might get scolded to death by Instructor Xiao if you show up like this.”
“Okay, I’ll go now, don’t wanna spread my cold to you.”
“Hmmm, now that you’ve mentioned it, I feel a chill down my back too.”
“Together, together….”
