Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 255: Chapter 251: The Opening of the Group Battle

Thinking of Gamma being able to withstand attacks from all sides and cut through a swarm of ferocious beasts, Bai Qi felt his blood boiling in excitement.

“Although I couldn’t directly absorb the Angel’s wing and obtain a Mythical bloodline, the gains were not bad.”

Bai Qi grinned at Gamma’s newly acquired skill.

[Skill Name]: Light Explosion

[Skill Level]: High Level

[Skill Introduction]: Can cause a powerful impact of Holy Light Attributes on surrounding enemies by bursting the power of the Holy Light.

Although it was not the Judgment Angel’s super skill, white thunder, Bai Qi was still quite satisfied.

After all, it was Gamma’s first offensive skill.

“When the great competition ends, and I exchange the Light Spirit Holy Diamond and Twin Star Core, perhaps I’ll be able to absorb this Holy Light Thunder.”

Bai Qi was guessing silently when his expression suddenly changed.

“Damnit, I forgot about the second round of the competition!”

Although Gamma hatched ahead of schedule, it still took four hours. Paired with the time they wasted here, it has already been nearly five hours since Bai Qi left the arena.

He was in the second group, and no matter how slow the following three groups were, they couldn’t have lasted more than five hours. If he missed the second team competition, even if Zhao Futu didn’t kill him, he would be regretful to death.

There were two mythical resources at stake…

Upon this realization, Bai Qi didn’t bother to study Gamma’s new skill any more, but headed straight to the arena from the base.

Inside the arena.

The already prepared teams silently watched the vacant leadership position of the association, speechless.

Even though there was an additional test, it didn’t take much time, and the second team competition entered the preparation stage.

However, the two leaders seemed to have forgotten something and were still chatting happily. Since Leng Feifei, the referee, hadn’t received any instructions, the start of the competition hadn’t been announced.

Of course, everyone knew they were waiting for Bai Qi, and they didn’t mind waiting a bit longer.

After all, having seen the formidable strengths of Bai Qi’s three pets, they were also interested in his other pets.

However, that was an hour ago…

“That bastard Bai Qi, how much longer is he going to leave us hanging!”

Enraged, Zhou Yan cursed bitterly, wishing to barge into Bai Qi’s sanctuary and drag him out.

“Can’t you see that the two bosses didn’t say anything? Just wait.”

Lu Qing calmly continued reading her book through her spectacles, while the others were meditating unperturbedly.

“You guys… never mind, I’ll take a nap first. Wake me up when Bai Qi arrives.”

Stifling a yawn, Zhou Yan planned to take a nap right there and then.

Just then, Bai Qi finally appeared in the arena. On top, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian, who were continuously chatting, tacitly halted and walked to the front of the grandstand and announced in a loud voice, “All the players are here, let’s start the second team competition.”

“Uh, sorry, I got caught up with some research.”

Seeing the angry faces of Zhou Yan and others, Bai Qi grimaced, giving an implausible explanation, but Zhou Yan mysteriously stopped pursuing Bai Qi’s late arrival after hearing the word “research”.

Everyone at the headquarters had reached a consensus.

No one should question Bai Qi’s research-related activities because you could potentially be hindering the birth of a core patent.

“Triple Core drive,” was everyone’s recognition of Bai Qi’s ability.

On the Thirteenth Bureau’s side, seeing Bai Qi so unconcerned, Wang Huai just gave a faint smile, while Xia Yan looked curious, “I didn’t expect you to be so hardworking, Bai Qi. You even went back to research during a competition break. I feel quite ashamed.”

Bai Qi shookhis head and said, “Just messing around, just messing around.”

“Huh-”

Seeing the corners of XiaYan’s mouth twitch, it was clear he didn’t believe Bai Qi’s words. Same was reflected on Dean’s face.

Had he left at this time just for some scheming?

“Ahem, since all the players are here, let me announce the rules of the team battle.”

Leng FeiFei stood between the two teams and said, “The team battle is 5v5, and the players can freely play. The competition ends when all the players on one side lose their fighting capabilities. Do you understand?”

“Understood.”

Such a simple and straightforward rule didn’t cause objections from either side. Seeing this, Leng Feifei quietly left the stadium.

Simultaneously, the already extensive stadium further expanded, exploding by more than tenfold in range. The two fleets, which were initially just a step away, were now isolated by tens of meters.

“They are allowing us to battle freely.”

Seeing their surroundings still expanding, Bai Qi understood and immediately summoned all his four pets. However, the others only summoned their own main pets.

A team battle was unlike an individual race. No matter how well the team coordinated, there were always unexpected incidents, especially in a 5V5 contest.

Thus, a streamlined battle formation would yield better results.

Similarly, aside from Li Xusheng, who could fuse with four pets at once, members of the Thirteenth Bureau also only kept their primary pets.

“The Thirteenth Bureau has more experience than us. We cannot afford any errors.”

Xiao Yuan looked at Lu Qing, and said, “Lu Qing, you are in charge of command and support. I will take up the defense, and will also try to ease the pressure on your support. Zhou Yan, find a chance to deal with the opponent’s support side. Cha, you are responsible for handling Li Xusheng, his blood control is too restricting to flesh and blood life forms.”

“As for Bai Qi, you move freely.”

As one of Bai Qi’s main targets for accumulating points, Xiao Yuan fully understood the monstrosity of Bai Qi’s four pets, hence he made no restrictions on Bai Qi.

Bai Qi readily agreed to this.

Although the association did provide them with plenty of collaborative training, Bai Qi was not incapable of cooperating with others. However, with his undying desire to experiment, Bai Qi often wanted to try new playstyles, making it hard for him to stick to a fixed position.

Thus, Xiao Yuan decided to let Bai Qi act freely, who knows, it might yield unexpected results.

After all, judging by their lineup, they were at a disadvantage.

Li Xusheng, Dean, Ellis, a legendary creature bloodline dual talent user, two Mythical Beast Masters, plus the outrageous mechanical engineer Xia Yan appeared to make their side short on top battle power when compared superficially.

Soon, the stadium stopped changing, and Leng Feifei’s voice echoed from the sky.

“5VS5 Team battle, Begin!”

As soon as her voice fell, several varying colored rays of light shone from Lu Qing’s Skillful Girl, quickly falling onto their respective pets, instantly elevating the pets’ status.

As a supportive mecha from the Era of Law Emperor, Skillful Girl could easily enhance allied forces’ basic attributes like power and velocity, and also possessed a certain healing ability. This was the reason Xia Yuan made Lu Qing responsible for support.

But evidently, Wang Huai’s speed was quicker. He had already caught his team pets in the vitality aura before Lu Qing could even act. Li Xusheng, who he was teamed up with, launched an attack before Wang Huai could act.

“Cha, stop Li Xusheng. Zhou Yan, you circle around and seize the opportunity.” Seeing Li Xusheng’s movements being so rapid, Lu Qing immediately issued an order. Bai Qiucha directly went into bone armor mode to face Li Xusheng head on.

One was a deviant fused with four pets, and the other was an abnormality carrying an Emperor-level creature. Their first front-on collision ended in a draw.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yan, fused with the Soul of the General, skillfully dodged the fighting zone of the two and went straight for Wang Huai.

Boom boom boom!

At that moment, countless shells rained down from the sky, precisely blocking Zhou Yan’s inevitable path. Before Zhou Yan could even dodge, several red points passed through the smoke and locked onto him.

As the team leader of the second attack group, Xia Yan was naturally extremely proficient in tactics. He had already predicted Zhou Yan’s movements and set up his sniper rifle with the intention of taking down Zhou Yan at once.

These guys really are good at coordination!

Seeing his own side’s attack being easily blocked, Bai Qi’s face turned serious. Schuck immediately understood and instantly deployed the turret, barraging Xia Yan’s Broken Army with a sky-covering cannonade.

Energy attacks in the mechanical engineering field are extremely swift, and Schuck’s deployed turret was covered in runes, making its speed faster and surpassing that of the Broken Army even when it was released later.

Seeing this, Xia Yan could only temporarily abandon sniping Zhou Yan, switching to evade Schuck’s attack.

However, Schuck seemed unyielding. Seeing Xia Yan withdraw, another turret opened, replacing the energy shells with solid ones.

The speed of these shells was apparently slower, but with the Thunderflame Cannon’s cover, the shells successfully reached the vicinity of the Broken Army, but didn’t directly hit its target. They opened up in mid-air, turning into giant metal nets cast toward Xia Yan below.

“An electromagnetic net?”

Xia Yan recognized the origin of these metal nets at once, switched directly to a Tyrant Dragon form and aimed to tear the electromagnetic net to shreds with its claws.

But just at that moment, these giant metal net suddenly lit up with runes, its falling speed abruptly increasing. The Tyrant Dragon only managed to tear a single net before being swallowed by successive layers of nets.

“The combination of rune machinery seems to be pretty powerful.”

Seeing Schuck’s successful sneak attack, Bai Qi satisfiedly nodded. However, Xia Yan was clearly not an easy opponent. As he was trapped by the metal net, he switched forms again, his body scales collectively reversed and turned into a cutting machine, shattering the metal large nets.

Because of this delay, Zhou Yan was already successful in reaching Wang Huai’s front. The spear enveloped in roaring flames, like an erupting lava, charged directly at the Barrier Tree Man!
