Chapter 28: Chapter 27: Found an Organization

Undead Hill Secret Tower.

Having lost all interest in the assessment, Qin Jiang delegated the task to other staff members and, along with Bai Heguang, arrived at the front of the Secret Tower after a short wait.

“President Qin, is this young man of particular interest to you?”

Bai Heguang glanced at the flickering runes of the fourth floor, saying, “He’s 18 and still not a professional Beast Master. This young man’s talent seems ordinary.”

As the youngest Titled Legendary figure in the Federation, Bai Heguang’s standards were high. At Bai Qi’s age, all prodigies were already professional Beast Masters. The fact that Bai Qi was still a trainee reflected his modest talent.

“What if this young man only became a Beast Master a month ago?”

Qin Jiang handed a document to Bai Heguang, saying, “In the history of the Federation, there were plenty of late bloomers who awakened their talents late. Moreover, this youngster seems a bit different from others.”

Bai Heguang quickly scanned through the document. His eyebrows knitted as he remarked, “This lad, is he actually applying mechanical modifications to beings of the Undead Department?”

Upon seeing this, Qin Jiang smiled, “I know, Heguang, you don’t have a great impression of Mechanical Legend. But isn’t this young man carving out a brand-new path?”

Bai Heguang gave a forced smile, then summoned a giant black bird, jumping onto its back.

“President Qin, there’s something I need to attend to, so I’ll be on my way.”

Without waiting for Qin Jiang’s response, he drove the bird into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

“This guy, even after becoming a Titled Legendary figure, he’s so difficult.”

Qin Jiang shook his head. Suddenly, the massive door to the Secret Realm Tower opened, and a man and a dog appeared before him.

Bai Qi brushed off the ice shards from his head with a disgruntled look. “This damned place, is it really intended to be passed by an intern Beast Master?”

Despite Bai Qi not being a magic-based profession, Alpha’s kite flying tactics were still successful in eliminating all ten Ice Ghosts.

However, when Bai Qi entered the fifth floor and saw the ten Ice Ghost Guards, he immediately chose to concede.

You must be kidding — defeating ten Ice Ghosts depleted Alpha’s energy mostly. In the face of ten more Ice Ghost Guards, victory seemed impossible.

Unless Alpha could grasp a large-scale attack skill or a control skill.

Unfortunately, besides swiftly promoting its race, Bai Qi hadn’t discovered any ability regarding skills in the Evolution Egg yet.

At present, his only solution was to convert the gains from the Secret Realm Tower into real power first, then try again.

Bai Qi gingerly took out an iron ingot still emanating cold air from his bag, already having an idea in mind.

Seeing Bai Qi standing in front of the Secret Tower gate and incessantly complaining, Qin Jiang couldn’t help but cough a couple of times to draw his attention. “Cough, cough! Are you Bai Qi?”

“I am Bai Qi, and you are?”

Looking at the elderly man standing in front of him, Bai Qi felt he was familiar but couldn’t remember exactly who he was.

“I am the president of the Beastmaster Association in Gusu City, Qin Jiang. You just finished your Secret Realm Tower trial?”

Oh no, my sneaking in was discovered. If I’d known this, I would’ve used up all the materials while I was still inside the tower.

This was a big mistake.

With a twitching eye corner, Bai Qi tightly grabbed the bag, gave an embarrassed smile, and said, “Well, President Qin, it was not intentional. I just didn’t expect that there would be an entrance near Taize Lake, I accidentally stumbled upon it.”

Qin Jiang shook his head at Bai Qi’s excuse, “Don’t worry, I am not here to reprimand you for that. I am wondering whether you’ve already passed the fourth level?”

Bai Qi paused before replying, “Yes, that was me.”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s confirmation, a smile swept across Qin Jiang’s face. A golden scroll unfolded beneath their feet, shining like the Great Sun. Before Bai Qi could react, the figures of Qin Jiang, Bai Qi, and Alpha vanished.

By the time they reappeared, they were in Qin Jiang’s office in the Beastmaster Association in Gusu City.

Looking at the familiar scene outside the window, Bai Qi was taken aback.

The golden scroll was the privilege of a Six Stage Beast Master, symbolized by its color. As a result, Six Stage Beast Masters were given another nickname, the Sunrise Level.

As for how they were transported here so quickly, Bai Qi was clueless.

Could it be that President Qin had contracted a space-attribute pet?

Envy flashed across Bai Qi’s eyes, but Qin Jiang got right to the point: “Could you tell me about the fourth and fifth levels?”

Bai Qi nodded, “Both the fourth and fifth levels are similar to the first three in environment, all being ice fields, except the enemy in the fourth level are ten Ice Ghosts, and in the fifth, ten Ice Ghost Guards.”

“Despite the ten Ice Ghosts’ ability to fly, they are rather slow, and their levels are slightly lower compared to those in the first level. It’s quite a tight win. But without group attack skills, it is very difficult to defeat ten Ice Ghost Guards.”

Qin Jiang fell silent after hearing Bai Qi’s explanation and his gaze on Bai Qi became more peculiar.

Mother of God, this old man doesn’t have some special fetishes, does he?

Bai Qi shivered and subtly backed away two steps.

“Can you summon your pet for me?”

Qin Jiang seemed to have realized his weird behavior. He forced a friendly smile on his face, but it looked even stranger in Bai Qi’s eyes.

Nevertheless, Bai Qi obediently summoned Alpha.

“Ghost Bone Spur? That’s not quite right. It seems to be a bit different.”

As the president of the Beastmaster Association, Qin Jiang was extremely knowledgeable. He identified Alpha’s race at a glance but was somewhat puzzled by Alpha’s metallic sheen.

Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly explained, “Uh, Alpha has mutated, so it’s slightly different from the common Ghost Bone Spurs.”

The dramatic changes in Alpha were bound to raise questions, forcing Bai Qi to attribute everything to mutation.

“A mutant species?”

Qin Jiang smiled, turned to look at Bai Qi, and said, “But training it to level nine in just one month is quite impressive. Did you also make these mechanical joints and this pair of gloves?”

“Simple enhancement, simple enhancement.”

Bai Qi nodded awkwardly and asked, “President Qin, is this legal?”

“It’s legal. As long as it does not go against humanitarianism, it’s legal.”

Qin Jiang laughed heartily, and then turned serious, “Bai Qi, I am going to ask you now, are you willing to join our Beastmaster Association?”
