Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 395: Putting Learning into Practice

The high temperature generated by the Caterpillar Fungus had alarmed other extraordinary creatures in the Red Lotus World, some of them started to worry while some others began to give it their all.

“Damn it, is its flame really fire?”

A molten lizard, cursing under its breath, left the Red Lotus World, its body covered in burn marks, but the magma flowing under its scales seemed to be frozen, giving out a chill.

Its opponent was Ye Ge’s pet of Team Zero, Frostfire Mirror.

[Name]: Frostfire Mirror

[Nature]: Ice, Fire

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level King

[Introduction]: A creature belonging to the Equipment System, it was originally a pet born in flames, but it was eroded by extreme cold, and merged with its own fire property, creating a new type of ice fire.

…

“Is it really ice fire?”

Bai Qi made a small nod in acknowledgement. The ability to inflict both freezing and fire damage simultaneously on an enemy was not something everyone could endure.

After Frostfire Mirror defeated its opponent, Ellis’s Judgment Angel and Emperor’s Heart Lotus almost simultaneously overcame their adversaries.

Then, along with the Caterpillar Fungus, these four pets launched their attacks on the new opponents.

The core of the Trial of Fire was a race, whoever reached the lotus pod first would win.

Waiting was undoubtedly a foolish act.

At the start of the third round of the battle, regardless of whether they had defeated their second round opponents, all the extraordinary creatures’ candles atop their heads changed simultaneously into a dual-colored candle twisted like a spiral, and with the burning of the flame, spirit power was constantly being consumed.

“As expected, this is a complete race. A slow start results in a slow journey.”

Bai Qi understood seeing this. From the current trend, those who could compete with the Caterpillar Fungus for the final Blessing were only the three transcendent creatures.

“Caterpillar Fungus, speed up and clear the field.”

“I’m all set.”

Caterpillar Fungus nodded. Seeing its opponent, already somewhat agitated due to the rapid burning of the dual color candle atop its head, it simply slept on the spot.

Dragon Sleep.

The overwhelming spirit power radiated from the Caterpillar Fungus effortlessly entered the enemy’s soul and easily pulled it into the Dreamland.

But it didn’t stop there, after successfully hypnotizing one enemy, Caterpillar Fungus’ spirit power began to erode other extraordinary creatures in the Red Lotus World by using the power of the dual-colored candle.

Some creatures, those whose energy, vitality, or spirit power were severely exhausted due to intense fighting were immediately shattered under Caterpillar Fungus’ spirit power, which carried a hint of dragon might and the aura of a Mythical Species. They were forcibly dragged into the Dreamland woven by the Caterpillar Fungus.

Soon after, the bewildered transcendent creatures began to fight each other in the Dreamland, and the dual-colored candles above their heads melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. As for Caterpillar Fungus, the manipulator behind the Dreamland scene, it felt even more spirited.

As a Dream Weaver, Caterpillar Fungus naturally didn’t create Dreamlands for nothing.

Due to the interference of Caterpillar Fungus, the pace of the Trial of Fire changed again and in an instant, only the four pets remained.

“Can this guy really train every pet to be this powerful!”

Lilith, who had finally calmed down, could see that all this was the result of Bai Qi’s strange worm, but it was still shocking to think that Caterpillar Fungus was able to affect so many King Creatures at the same time, even in a weakened state.

“Perhaps, this is Bai Qi’s talent.”

Dean seemed to be in deep thought as he looked at Ye Ge who was already facing Caterpillar Fungus in the Red Lotus World. “Let Team Zero help us figure out where Bai Qi’s limits are,” he said.

“Didn’t expect to encounter Team Zero so soon.”

Bai Qi clicked his tongue. Even though competing for blessings was inevitable, he would have rather faced the Judgment Angel first.

Compared to the unknown effect of the blessings, Bai Qi was more willing to believe in the effect of the Angel’s Wing. Even though it was only a single wing, it was better than not having any.

“I hope Ellis is as ruthless and terse as described in the novel, and doesn’t get eliminated early.”

Bai Qi prayed silently, while Ye Ge seemed to have no inclination to waste words with Bai Qi, instead ordering the Frostfire Mirror to launch an attack immediately.

The Frostfire Mirror suspended in the air shook slightly and a chilling blue light swept abruptly towards the Caterpillar Fungus.

Crack.

In an instant, Caterpillar Fungus was covered in a layer of thick frost. Before it could break free, a heat wave swept towards it.

“Using mirror light to execute skills? That’s going a bit too far.”

Bai Qi couldn’t help but curse inwardly. While the skill was ostensibly ice fire, using light to execute it made evading it rather difficult.

However, having just nourished extensively in the Dreamland, Caterpillar Fungus’ spirit power was unprecedentedly full. The moment it was frozen, it immediately burned the Power of the Sun to melt the surface frost. Then, it flapped its wings and in an instant was in front of Frostfire Mirror.

But Frostfire Mirror seemed to have already prepared, retreating without hesitation, and leaving behind countless Ice Mirrors in Caterpillar Fungus’ path.

It goes without saying that if Caterpillar Fungus touched any of these Ice Mirrors, it would surely sustain ice fire damage.

Not only that, but once the Frostfire Mirror distanced itself from the Worm Grass, it once again projected beams of light, but instead of attacking the Worm Grass, they were aimed at the Ice Mirrors in front of it.

The beam of light refracted back and forth between countless Ice Mirrors, making it impossible to guess where the attack might come from, and this trajectory became even more elusive as the Frostfire Mirror continually produced new Ice Mirrors.

Seeing this, the Worm Grass simply stopped, hovering silently in the air, as if it had given up struggling.

However, Ye Ge became more cautious once he saw this, and he increased the attack frequency of the Frostfire Mirror again.

Humming sound of vibrating insect wings gradually emanated, fluctuating between high and low. The higher pitch even made some King Creatures feel uncomfortable, while the lower sounded like the buzz of a mosquito passing by, barely audible.

“This guy, could it be planning to…”

Having an idea of what was about to happen, Ye Ge was about to warn the Frostfire Mirror to be on guard, when the Ice Mirrors surrounding the Worm Grass began to shatter one by one, and the shattering speed was accelerating to a point where it even surpassed the speed at which the Frostfire Mirror was creating them.

“As the saying goes, master the science and the whole world’s at your feet. Seems like the Worm Grass had not wasted its time in the Dreamland, learning to use resonance.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction seeing this. If brute force wasn’t an option, then outsmarting was naturally the best method.

As a mature pet-beast, it should know how to strategize, without the commands of the Beast Master.

The Worm Grass began its action.

After the Ice Mirror environment shattered, the Worm Grass also launched its own attack. Before the Frostfire Mirror could react, it pierced straight through to its front, and its colorful tendrils even managed to slap the mirror surface first.

Crack…

The mirror shattered, but the Frostfire Mirror seemed to have no intention of backing down, instead it pivoted on the force of the colorful tendrils’ strike, exposing its back to the Worm Grass.

In an instant, fire flickered and the Frostfire Mirror that was initially filled with frost atmosphere, dramatically changed, its body erupted in a roaring golden flame.

At first glance, it even seemed somewhat similar to the power of the sun within the Worm Grass.

“Thanks for your help. This is the first time Frostfire Mirror has received such powerful flames.”

Ye Ge rarely took the initiative to thank Bai Qi, but his demeanor didn’t show any gratitude.

“It can actually replicate the opponent’s flame attribute? Are all Equipment System pet-beasts this overly powered?”

Bai Qi smacked his lips. On one side was the Frostfire Mirror with the dual abilities to freeze and burn, on the other was the Flame Mirror capable of replicating the opponent’s flame attribute.

Compared to Wang Chuan, Ye Ge’s combat power revealed so far was much superior.

However, replicating the power of the Sun… not as easy as it seems…

Seeing that the Frostfire Mirror had replicated its own power of the Sun, the Worm Grass was somewhat surprised. Just as it was planning to continue its attack, the Frostfire Mirror acted first, shooting a golden beam directly at it.

The power of the Sun + mirror light; the gold beam that fused the two attributes possessed tremendous penetrative power. It grazed the shell of the Worm Grass and fell onto the Red Lotus World around it, melting a hole in it.

Upon seeing this, the Worm Grass couldn’t help but shudder. It wanted to distance itself, but suddenly remembered the scenes of it creating dream battles for Bai Qi’s pet-beasts in the past.

“Against a ranged attacking opponent, should I close the distance?”

The Worm Grass seemed slightly dazed, instinctively shortened the distance with the Frostfire Mirror again, narrowly avoiding the second beam shot by the Frostfire Mirror.

Because of this, the moves of the Frostfire Mirror were fully exposed to the Worm Grass.

“The boss’s combat skills really work!”

The Worm Grass nimbly dodged the rampantly shooting golden beams, its golden power of the Sun attached itself to the colorful vine, firmly wrapped around the Frostfire Mirror, forcing it to deviate from its own position. Then, the power of the Sun on its body fully erupted, clearly planning to take out the Frostfire Mirror with one hit.

“Useless. This will only make the Frostfire Mirror stronger.”

Ye Ge shook his head when he saw this. It seemed like he intended to stop Bai Qi’s move, but soon received information about intense pain from the Frostfire Mirror.

Hot!

So hot!

This was the first time Ye Ge had heard the Frostfire Mirror protesting against the flame it had copied, and the resistance was almost too much for him to suppress.

“Replicating the Sun, you really thought that through.”

Bai Qi smirked, snapped his fingers, and the power of the Sun accumulated by the Worm Grass was suddenly sprayed out of its mouth, transforming into a golden line that directly penetrated the mirror surface of the Frostfire Mirror.

This time, the Frostfire Mirror could not flip the mirror surface as before, the bicolored candle above its head was instantly burnt out, and it was forcefully transported away.

Putting knowledge into practice, the compressed power of the Sun was indeed much better than the violent method used before.

Indeed, knowledge is the greatest productivity.

Looking at the Worm Grass getting closer and closer to the lotus pod, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then looked forward to seeing the fight between the Judgement Angel and the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.

The Judgement Angel was a Mythical Species, and Ellis had clearly held back in the last fight, so it was time for it to exert its full power now.

However, the reason why unexpected is called unexpected is because it’s unpredictable.

The Judgement Angel, lost.
