Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 292 - 288: You Have Bloodline, I Have Science!

Chapter 292: Chapter 288: You Have Bloodline, I Have Science!

Wuhou Dojo.

The Spirit Controller Battle Arena.

“Now, I announce the final four: Zhuge Chen, Song Qiuying, Jing Si, Tang Qi.” Yi Yu announced the names of the final four in a loud voice and then returned to the judges’ seats. President Qin, on the other hand, was quite displeased and kept nagging to Luo Xiang beside him.

“Luo Xiang, are you sure you’ve contacted Bai Qi? Why hasn’t this brat shown up yet?”

Luo Xiang shrugged, saying, “I left him a message. He should be able to see it. After all, this kid spends all his time in the secret realm. There’s no use me going to find him.”

“A message? So, you did not actually reach Bai Qi?”

President Qin sighed, holding his head in his hands. These people were all indeed unreliable. Knowing Bai Qi’s habits, it wasn’t surprising that he didn’t receive the message even if he was not in the secret realm.

“President Qin, there’s no need to worry. Bai Qi will definitely arrive in time for the showdown.”

Seeing this, Yi Yu smiled and comforted, “If everything else fails, I have prepared a holograph projection of Bai Qi. It should be able to deceive everyone.”

President Qin:

No wonder he was so composed. It turned out that he even had a holograph ready? How many times have they done such things before that they were so professional?

“The first round of the final four, Zhuge Chen versus Jing Si, begins!”

While President Qin was expressing his complaints, the first match of the final four officially began, and everyone’s attention was drawn to the competition.

As the future leader of Wuhou Corporation, Zhuge Chen’s participation naturally attracted a lot of attention. And as Zhuge Chen advanced through the rounds, more and more attention piled up.

Of course, there were no suspicions of any backhand dealings. Any wrong doings would bring about the wrath of the Federation and the Association on Wuhou Corporation.

Almost all of the spectators’ attention was drawn to Garulu’s metallic armor.

“Do you guys know what the metal shell is?”

“What, you have insider info?”

“Of course not, I just wanted to ask you where they got that shell, it looks awesome. I want to get my Frost Wolf one too.”

“Hmph, and here I thought you knew something. But that armor does look cool.

However, it’s so heavy, wouldn’t it affect the fighting?”

“Does it look like it’s affecting them? I think it’s probably a kind of armor that increases defense.”

“23333, your shield even has decorative wings. I guess this is just Wuhou

Corporation’s own pet makeup team, here to advertise.”

“That makes sense, official advertising, the deadliest kind.”

While the crowd was engaged in discussions, Zhuge Chen didn’t bother to rebut them. Instead, he focused his full attention on his opponent.

In order to ensure his entry into the finals, Zhuge Chen and Garulu trained extra hard. Even without activating the Frozen Armor, they easily made it into the final four.

However, the upcoming matches wouldn’t be so easy to win.

Both Song Qiuying’s and Jing Si’s parents were Beast Masters, and although they didn’t awaken Beast Master talents, growing up in such environments gave them an edge in pet cultivation and fighting compared to ordinary people. After the Spirit-Control Orbs were issued, both their parents got them powerful pets within their control range. They easily entered the final four.

Although some civilian Beast Masters were disgruntled, they had no choice but to swallow their complaints.

The Spirit Controllers Tournament did not restrict the double level of the competitor’s pets. Most competitors didn’t use pets distributed by the Association and brought their unique pets instead.

A Middle Servant Level creature could only be kept as a pet, and was not suitable for battles.

As for Tang Qi, it was pure luck. When he received pets released by the Association, he unexpectedly got a Mutant Species Fire Claw Sparrow, whose strength was no less than the others.

Jing Si, who was currently against Zhuge Chen, was contracted to a high-grade elite level Gold-eating Ant.

[Name]: Gold-eating Ant

[Nature]: Metal Element, Insect System

[Bloodline Level]: High-Grade Elite

[Introduction]: An insect-based creature that has a strong body due to years of gnawing on metal ores. Each of its attacks can break rocks.

Jing Si’s parents were both Fifth Stage insect-system Beast Masters, and this Gold-eating ant was the offspring of their pets. It had familiarized with Jing Si from childhood, so it had no resistance to Jing Si’s commands after the Spirit- Control Orb contract.

This made Jing Si one of the favorites to win the Spirit Controllers Tournament.

“You’re not making the first move? Then I’ll start.”

Seeing that Zhuge Chen seemed to have no intention of initiating an attack, Jing Si couldn’t be bothered to keep waiting and immediately directed the Gold-eating Ant to attack Garulu.

Having devoured a substantial amount of metal ore, the Gold-eating Ant emitted a series of metallic clinks as it began to move, as if what was charging towards Garulu wasn’t an ant but a Mechanical Beast.

“Garulu, dodge.”

Watching the Gold -eating Ant rapidly charge towards Garulu, Zhuge Chen promptly commanded Garulu. However, the Gold-eating Ant’s speed escalated dramatically, arriving before Garulu in an instant, its massive claws exuding a metallic luster as it smashed down towards Garulu.

Given the Gold-eating Ant’s level and physical strength, if it landed a hit, it would undoubtedly inflict substantial damage on Garulu.

Right at the moment the massive claw was about to hit Garulu, Garulu’s speed soared, successfully evading the attack and, with a sideways swipe of its claws at the Gold-eating Ant, managed to strike first, even though it acted second. Clang!

After a clear sound, however, the Gold-eating Ant suffered no damage at all. Moreover, it took advantage of the situation to approach and attempt to engage Garulu in combat.

As a purely physical pet beast, the Gold-eating Ant naturally wouldn’t abandon its advantages.

But Zhuge Chen was obviously aware of this. He ordered Garulu to quickly retreat, and Garulu did so cleanly. It shot backwards fiercely and, just like a glider, swiftly slid off into the distance.

“As I thought, it’s not just a decoration.”

Observing Garulu’s maneuver, Jing Si showed no surprise. The Gold-eating Ant quickly caught up and seemed to preemptively predict Garulu’s movement, intending to launch a sneak attack.

However, bolstered by its Frozen Armor, Garulu was clearly faster, easily avoiding the attack before launching a counterattack.

Unfortunately, the Gold-eating Ant’s combat experience far surpassed Garulu’s; it purposefully showed an opening to bait Garulu in. Immediately afterward, its twin pincers clamped down on Garulu’s legs and it bit down on Garulu’s Frozen Armor.

HaviNg determined the use of the armor, Jing Si naturally wouldn’t leave it on his opponent. Never mind how effortless it was for the Gold-eating Ant to devour metal.

However, Garulu was an Elite-level beast after all. Seeing its body being controlled, it immediately opened its mouth and fired an ice arrow at the Gold- eating Ant.

Feeling the cold within the Ice Arrow, the Gold-eating Ant did not choose to fight to the death with Garulu after a moment’s hesitation. Its victory had been within reach when it decided to abandon it.

After all, even if it managed to bite through, it would only destroy Garulu’s outer armor. However, it would be forced to resist an ice attack, which might not injure it but would definitely impede its mobility.

But the Gold-eating Ant wasn’t stupid enough to engage Garulu in long-range combat. After dodging Garulu’s Ice Arrow, it smartly moved to Garulu’s back. An eye-catching light began to glow on its twin pincers, showing that it had activated a skill.

“Garulu, use Extreme Frost Gas!”

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Chen didn’t hold back and signaled Garulu to attack. The energy that Garulu had initially concentrated into Ice Arrows was immediately absorbed by the Frozen Armor covering it, transforming it into a chilling gas that pushed Garulu into mid-air and increased the distance between it and the Gold-eating Ant.

At the same time, two missiles formed of condensed ice appeared under Garulu’s mechanical wings. After locking onto their target, they went straight for the Gold-eating Ant.

Poor Gold-eating Ant hadn’t recovered from the chilling gas when two ice missiles appeared before it.

Soon after, an ice sculpture in the form of a Gold-eating Ant appeared in the arena.

“I declare, for the first round of the top four, the winner is Zhuge Chen!”

Seeing the Gold-eating Ant lose all ability to fight, Yi Yu finally appeared and announced the result of the match. Jing Si hadn’t expected to lose so haphazardly and took a long time to react.

“What kind of armor is that?”

Zhuge Chen shrugged, saying, “Sorry, I can’t disclose that right now.”

Although the superiors had allowed him to participate with the Frozen Armor, and even encouraged him to do so, Zhuge Chen still wanted to evaluate Garulu’s combat power. If it were not clearly outmatched by the Gold-eating Ant, he might not have activated it.

“Temporarily, huh? I’m looking forward to it.”

Jing Si nodded and then returned to his seat. His equally surprised parents quickly rushed over to comfort their son.

Finally able to command a pet beast in a battle and initially confident about seizing the championship, the fact that he had lost made them worry about their son’s potential future trauma.

On the other side of the battlefield, the atmosphere was entirely different.

“Hahaha… As expected of my good son. Well done!”

Zhuge Xu gave Zhuge Chen a satisfied thumbs-up. In response, Zhuge Chen could only shake his head helplessly, saying, “If not for the Frozen Armor Bai Qi gave me, I might have been the one to lose…”

“Who cares about winning anyway? Moreover, there’s nothing dishonorable about this. Not everyone can contract a Gold-eating Ant either.”

Zhuge Xu dismissively waved his hand. His face straightened, and he said, “But son, you should be careful about your opponent in the finals. Those two aren’t easy to deal with.”

Zhuge Chen nodded, just about to watch the next battle when he suddenly saw a burnt black pet beast fly upside down from the stage.

“This is…already over?”

Zhuge Chen looked at the Humanoid Firebird on the stage, clearly surprised that Tang Qi had won.

Are mutant species just that powerful, disregarding the difference in double levels? He could now understand why Bai Qi had always remained unbeatable.

Suddenly, having Garulu wear Frozen Armor didn’t seem so excessive anymore.

You have your bloodline rights, I have technology. Yes, fair enough!
