Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 372 - 368: How can such a thing be forced!
Chapter 372: Chapter 368: How can such a thing be forced!
Zhao Futu’s words greatly eased the students’ emotions, immediately lightening the atmosphere in the hall. Most of the people began to look forward to the future.
“However, since we have drawn up a list of the top ten, we naturally can’t just leave it at that.”
Zhao Futu’s tone changed, “In order to give all of you better opportunities, these top ten have the right to freely choose one of the Six Towers to join, which none of us Six Tower Masters will refuse.”
As soon as this was said, there was an uproar in the hall, with students looking enviously at these top ten.
Although it was expected, there was still a little jealousy in their hearts when they heard Zhao Futu say it.
“So, those who made the top ten have the right to choose!”
Ran Xu and Qiao Li exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other’s eyes.
Joining the Six Towers, their future was absolutely bright.
“So, let’s start with Li Xiao, who ranks tenth.”
Zhao Futu looked at Li Xiao, who seemed to have considered it early on and silently went to the Schizonepeta Tower area.
“He actually chose the Schizonepeta Tower? Hmm, is every tower like Zhang Shan, a bottle of dull gourd?”
Bai Qi seemed to understand, then saw Ran Xu and Qiao Li both move to the Holy Relic Tower.
Their family situation was average, joining the Holy Relic Tower could solve their resource scarcity problem for cultivation, a move definitely worthy of being called the correct choice.
As for Gu Shan, ranked sixth, he had long accepted Bai Tongchen’s invitation, and thus was in the Tower of Competition area along with Bai Yuxiao.
Li Mu, on the other hand, quickly walked to the Tower of Knowledge.
Li Mu’s talent was Breaking the Void, he would inevitably explore mysterious areas in the future, so the Tower of Knowledge was naturally the best choice.
As for whether there were any other reasons, they were clear to the discerning eye.
“Qing’er, you might as well just agree to Li Mu, boys as devoted as him are not common nowadays.”
Zhou Yan immediately had a mischievous smile on her face as she saw this, nudging Lu Qing with her elbow, she suggested.
“You better just handle Gu Shan first.”
Lu Qing, without turning her head, took the book in her hand and went up to the Tower of Knowledge.
“Who… who said Gu Shan is mine, don’t talk nonsense!”
Zhou Yan’s face turned red, she hurriedly explained, making Xiao Yuan shake his head with a chuckle.
Although it was quite surprising, the relationship between Zhou Yan and Gu Shan had always been pretty clear to them.
“Bai Qi, have you thought about where to join?”
Xiao Yuan slowly stood up and said to Bai Qi beside him, “If you haven’t decided, maybe consider our Moon Night Tower.”
“Uh, I will consider it.”
Bai Qi nodded, looking thoughtfully at the six tower masters on the stage.
Seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Xiao Yuan didn’t say more and took his place at the Moon Night Tower.
At this point, of the Six Towers, only the Tower of Decision was left unchosen.
“Just two people left, Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi, I wonder what choices they will make.”
“Hey, isn’t it obvious? With talents like Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, it’s inappropriate for them to join any tower. Only by joining the Tower of Decision can they be accepted by other tower masters.”
“Makes sense but that’s good too. Otherwise, with their talents, whatever tower they joined would receive a major boost.”
The crowd turned their eyes to Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi, full of anticipation for their choices.
They waited for a long time, but neither Bai Qiucha nor Bai Qi made any move.
“Bai Qiucha, Bai Qi, please make your choices.”
Leng Feifei knew what was going on, but she still asked.
“Sorry, I choose to give up.”
Bai Qiucha shook her head, refusing to join the Six Towers. The Six Tower Masters seemed to have anticipated this, their faces showing no surprise.
Resources, experience, guidance…
These things weren’t of great use to Bai Qiucha. What she needed to do now was to quickly enhance her bond with the Skeleton Dragon and become a Legend as soon as possible. There really wasn’t much significance in her joining the Six Towers.
After all, the Bai Family was itself an old family of the Federation, whether she joined or not would not affect Bai Qiucha’s membership there.
However, others did not find it so easy to accept.
“Bloody hell, Bai Qiucha actually refused! Is it so awesome to have a legendary dad?!”
“Are you stupid? The Bai family has always been part of the Federation, not like us.”
“I know, it’s just a bit heart-wrenching.”
“Tsk, I wonder if they could let this spot slide to the next in line.”
The crowd chattered, but the atmosphere in the hall exploded when they heard Bai Qi’s answer.
“Sorry, I also abstain.”
Bai Qi stood up somewhat sadly, declaring his choice.
If possible, he would love to join all six towers, reap the benefits sixfold, even the very thought of it was beautiful.
Just such a mess, not to mention whether he could pull it off or not, the Six Tower Masters were likely to chop him up first.
“Bai Qi, are you sure?”
Leng Feifei looked deeply at Bai Qi, “If you miss this, there may not be another opportunity in the future.”
Hearing Leng Feifei’s words, Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “That’s right, I choose…”
As he spoke, Bai Qi suddenly felt the air around him grow extremely heavy, making it impossible for him to speak.
No, it seemed his voice simply couldn’t reach outward.
What the hell, was the Association’s headquarters haunted, and he was being trapped in a ghost-maze?
At that moment, he saw Zhao Futu grinning weirdly at him, soon after he announced.
“As the first-place winner of this training camp, after discussion among the Six Tower Masters, we have decided that Bai Qi will join the Tower of Decision.”
“Bai Qi, do you agree?”
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Bai Qi. As soon as Bai Qi had rejected joining any one of the Six Towers, Zhao Futu immediately announced that he would directly recruit Bai Qi into the Tower of Decision. This turn of events was startlingly fast, and no one knew how Bai Qi would respond.
Hearing Zhao Futu’s words, Bai Qi’s eyes twitched uncontrollably. He tried to speak, but the space around him was sealed off, making it impossible for him to make a sound. All he could do was gesticulate wildly, trying to express his opinion.
How could they force him into this!
They could at least try to persuade him a little!
“Alright, since everyone has made their choices, we are ending this debriefing meeting here.”
Seeing Bai Qi’s state, Zhao Futu just smiled faintly, ended the debriefing, and said, “We have transferred your points into your badges. You can trade them for whatever resources you need.”
“Not specifically limited to the Holy Relic Tower, you can make use of your badges in the other towers as well.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up. They eagerly checked their badges, completely failing to notice that Zhao Futu and Bai Qi had suddenly disappeared from the reception hall.
“We should go too.”
Bai Tongchen, grabbing Gu Shan and Bai Yuxiao, left without a backward glance, and the other Tower Masters also took their new members and departed quietly.
The debriefing may have ended, but each of the Six Towers still had their own initiation ceremonies to conduct.
…
Tower of Decision.
Bai Qi, who had been forcibly transferred there, shook his head and looked at the smiling Zhao Futu in front of him with a sigh of resignation.
“Mr. Chairman, it’s not fair to rush me into this, I’m just not up for it.”
“Really? I beg to differ.”
Zhao Futu shook his head, a playful look flitting across his face which did not match his age or status.
“I am quite proud to have pulled the future dean of the Super God Evolution Research Institute into my Tower of Decision.”
“Mr. Chairman, could you please stop messing around…”
Bai Qi frowned bitterly. Maybe that title meant something impressive to others, but in the face of Zhao Futu, chairman of the Association, it was no different from being just another stranger on the street.
“I’m not messing with you, I really value your research institute.”
Zhao Futu’s expression grew serious, “The Jiuli Group has contacted me. I have agreed to their request for collaboration. They will be sending people to join your research institute shortly.”
“With the joint effort of the Five Consortiums, as well as the support of the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association, the Super God Evolution Research Institute may come to be a crucial turning point in the dynamics between the Federation and the tribes.”
“As for having you join the Tower of Decision, it wasn’t solely my decision.”
With that, Zhao Futu nodded at something off to one side. Following his gaze, Bai Qi was shocked to discover Bai Heguang leaning against a wall, silently watching him. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
“Master?”
Bai Qi stared in utter disbelief. Knowing what his master was normally like, why would he suddenly throw him into the Tower of Decision?
“Having you join the Tower of Decision was the chairman’s decision. I originally planned to refuse, but considering your recent experiences, I decided to consent after all.”
Bai Heguang walked up to Bai Qi and said, “We haven’t been able to track the whereabouts of the Death Round Table yet, and I can’t be with you all the time. To ensure that the Death Round Table doesn’t pose a threat to you, I asked the chairman for a legendary bodyguard on your behalf.”
“A legend? A bodyguard? Are you sure you guys aren’t joking?”
Bai Qi’s eyes widened, clearly finding it hard to accept.
Getting a legend to act as a bodyguard, was the Association really that extravagant now?
“Ha ha… Don’t be so shocked, considering your recent contributions to the Federation, if you were in the Thirteenth Bureau, they would probably already have a bunch of people watching over you.”
Zhao Futu laughed heartily, “The Association doesn’t restrict people’s actions like that, but the Death Round Table is a special case. So, I agreed to Heguang’s request.”
“As for joining the Tower of Decision, it can be seen as a reasonably justified explanation for assigning you a bodyguard.”
“After all, according to the Association’s regulations, before members of the Tower of Decision are capable of protecting themselves, we must arrange bodyguards for them whenever they go out.”
After hearing Zhao Futu’s explanation, Bai Qi finally understood.
The Death Round Table, being unpredictable and popping up unexpectedly, was indeed a dangerous threat. A legendary bodyguard might not guarantee absolute victory in every situation, but it should be enough to safeguard him.
However, having a stranger constantly by his side, especially one who kept watch over him at all times, Bai Qi found it quite oppressive.
“Um, chairman, master, I have an idea, what do you think about it?”
