Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 478: Chapter 473: Return to Gusu City

The acquisition of the Tsunami Skill made Jie Ta’s already impressive skill list even more so. The combination of three Transcendent Skills and one Super Skill was unprecedented.

But it seemed to be a bit beyond Jie Ta’s control. The surrounding tsunami did not weaken, but rather grew more potent.

“Jie Ta, don’t panic, gradually pacify your power.”

Bai Qi hurriedly tried to soothe him, but Jie Ta just nodded gently, causing the surrounding water to become even more turbulent.

Gurgling!

(Master, I can’t stop this!)

Jie Ta was clearly afraid of his current state too, his round eyes welled with tears, but this only intensified the tsunami.

The Flame Soul had also started to kick in.

“Huh? This little guy is interesting.”

Jie Ta’s change immediately caught Old Lady Fan’s attention as she curiously approached to take a closer look.

After examining Jie Ta, Old Lady Fan said, “A soul of fire element with a core of water element? How peculiar.”

“Fire elemental soul with a water elemental core?”

Bai Qi pondered upon hearing this, but by now, Jie Ta had started to evaporate, and the surrounding tsunami became even more violent.

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately wanted to teleport it into the secret realm, but was stopped by Old Lady Fan. She even transported them directly to the sea surface.

Compared with the undercurrent surging at the bottom of the sea, the waves on the surface were more intense. Thick rain clouds accumulated in the sky, and it looked like a storm was imminent.

Jie Ta seemed to sense something, and his body evaporated instantly, merging into the rain clouds.

In an instant, thunder rumbled, winds howled, and waves reached for the sky, as if the end of the world had descended.

“This little guy’s character is too mild. He can’t control his own power. Releasing it like this is beneficial for him.”

Old Lady Fan watched as Jie Ta released his power in the air, saying, “I just heard Nicholas say that you found this little guy in the Fire Element World, and he was a Snow Doll, right?”

“Correct.”

Bai Qi nodded, saying, “Yes, and Jie Ta can change his form due to emotional fluctuations.”

“That’s it.”

Old Lady Fan said, “I suggest you train his ice-based skills well. It will be beneficial for him.”

“Ice-based skills?”

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this, but upon seeing Gamma, he immediately understood.

“It’s the Ice and Fire imbalance again~”

Finally, Jie Ta’s energy was gradually exhausted, and the sky and the ocean slowly calmed down. Jie Ta resumed his Snow Doll form and fell.

Gurgling~

(Master, I’m so tired~)

This time, Jie Ta didn’t pass out as usual but looked at Bai Qi tiredly.

“It’s alright, take a rest.”

Bai Qi smiled, although Jie Ta’s destructive power was astonishing, Bai Qi knew that the climate of the sea area had helped.

“Firstly, eat something to recover energy.”

Bai Qi took out a piece of ice elemental material, planning to use the Evolution Egg to help absorb it, but unexpectedly Jie Ta suddenly perked up, grabbed the material from Bai Qi’s hand, effortlessly bit off a piece, chewed it casually, and swallowed it.

“Eating resources raw, Gamma indeed taught you this…”

Bai Qi laughed when he saw this. But thinking about what Old Lady Fan had just said, he didn’t mind and simply threw a bunch of ice resources to Jie Ta as dessert.

After all, he had found many resources in the Death Ice Forest before, so there was enough to eat for a while.

As for the future, he would deal with it when the time came.

“Not bad, probably only you can afford to raise this little guy. But when training him, remember to maintain balance. Having just water and fire might not suffice.”

Old Lady Fan nodded when she saw this and advised.

“Not enough with water and fire, does it need to gather earth, water, wind, and fire?”

Bai Qi felt a headache. It was hard enough to handle Delta’s space attribute, and now he had to pay attention to four attributes for Jie Ta.

He really can’t afford this…

Just then, the members of the Deep Sea Council, who had just left not long ago, reappeared. They glanced at the innocent-looking Nicholas on the sea surface, then at Old Lady Fan who was teasing the Snow Doll, and finally their gaze fell on Bai Qi.

“Hey, would you believe me if I say it wasn’t my fault?”

…

Gusu City.

Beast Master Association.

“Mo Guan said you caused a tsunami in the West Sea and almost sent the patrolling Navy away?”

President Qin closed the file sent by Mo Guan and looked at the embarrassed Bai Qi in front of him and said, “And then, you were sent back?”

“Well, President, The tsunami was not caused by me, it was already forming… I just happened to…”

Bai Qi looked innocent, but was interrupted by President Qin, saying, “Just happened to be encountered by your beast, right?”

“Yes, yes, absolutely right.”

Bai Qi nodded eagerly. These words were not made up by him.

Later, Bai Qi tried again, but he couldn’t replicate the previous scene. It was only after talking with the Five Old Men that he learned this weather-altering skill was affected by the surrounding environment which could amplify or reduce the effect.

What a coincidence, when Jie Ta awakened the Tsunami Skill, a big storm just happened to be over the sea. Combined, the elements created quite a scene.

“You, boy, are really a handful.”

President Qin sighed helplessly. However, thinking about Mo Guan’s headaches over Bai Qi, his mood mysteriously lifted.

Should he send this kid off to trouble those old guys for a bit?

That way, he wouldn’t be in Gusu City causing problems.

“Oh well, it’s fine. The Star Mechanics Academy will start in about a week, and I assume you won’t be short of classes.”

Fortunately, President Qin had a twinge of conscience and didn’t act on his wild thought.

“Classes? Has the Undead Department’s schedule been arranged already?”

Bai Qi was taken aback, this seemed a bit too efficient.

“It’s not just the Undead Department.”

President Qin laughed, “The Mechanical Engineering Department, the Rune Department, even the Biological Department, as well as the Beast Control Combat Department, all have classes scheduled for you.”

“Five departments?!”

The corners of Bai Qi’s eyes twitched. For a single person to take classes in five departments, was this a fleecing scheme?

“But, I’m a student. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to go to the Mechanical Engineering department’s classes?”

“Student? You haven’t been one for a while.”

President Qin handed Bai Qi two documents from his drawer, “This one is the Star Mechanics Academy’s ahead-of-schedule graduation certificate and academic degree confirmation. The other one is your employment contract as a lecturer of Star Mechanics Academy.”

“I discussed this matter with your parents and we thought it was a good idea. So, we agreed for you.”

“That is to say, you’re now an official lecturer at the Star Mechanics Academy.”

“You’re welcome. I did this for your own good.”

Looking at the certificates in his hand, Bai Qi felt a headache coming on.

The steady income was nice and he didn’t mind a couple more paychecks, but teaching at five departments would take up a massive chunk of his time. He wouldn’t have time left over to strategize and figure out how to make money.

Besides, he only knew a tiny bit about mechanics, runes, the undead, combat, and biology…well, that covered almost everything. What made him qualified enough to teach others?

“Don’t worry about class details. Someone will deliver those to you. You have to remember that you won’t be teaching a lot of classes in one term.”

President Qin patted Bai Qi, “You go home and rest first. Also, handle whatever’s left of Super God Evolution Research Institute, and then get ready for the new school year.”

“Not a lot of classes? Well, that’s a relief.”

Bai Qi sighed and said, “Alright, President Qin, I’ll go home now.”

With that, Bai Qi summoned Delta, and jumped into the void, heading home.

“Welcome home.”

The first to greet Bai Qi was naturally the mechanical housekeeper. Even if there was barely anyone home, the housekeeper still kept everything in order.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The villa had been a big investment, and even with his parents back, it was still vacant.

If it weren’t for the mechanical housekeeper lacking human complexity, one would’ve thought he would’ve died of boredom.

Bai Qi tapped the housekeeper’s metal head, then headed to his room, flopped onto his bed in a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

Although the conditions under the sea had been fine, there was something about the comfort of his own bed.

Time to sleep.

…

When Bai Qi woke up, it was already the middle of the night.

“Huh, why are there so many messages all of a sudden?”

Bai Qi rubbed his eyes, opened his phone to check his contract. Zhuge Chen, his parents, Professor Dong, and Professor Chu had all sent him messages.

The contents of the messages were all about Nicholas and Old Lady Fan.

After Bai Qi was “persuaded” to return to Gusu City, Old Lady Fan whimsically wanted to tag along, see what it was like. Bai Qi simply let Nicholas lead the way to the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

But evidently, the appearance of Old Lady Fan – a legendary creature of ancient levels – caused quite a stir at the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

“But they should be able to handle it.”

Bai Qi tilted his head to think, explained the situation to his parents, copied the message a few times and alerted others, then headed straight to the Twilight Tomb.

This time, he wasn’t planning to challenge anyone, he just wanted to do something he hadn’t done in a while.

The long-awaited internal competition!

With Delta’s sudden breakthrough, Alpha had developed an interest in sparring with his companion and Bai Qi absolutely would not miss this chance to get them stirring and improve morale.

However, considering the Twin Pets’ current strength and the ease with which things could get damaged in his secret realm, Bai Qi chose the Twilight Tomb as their battle venue instead.

As for the location, naturally it was the sixth layer.

With the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit gone, the sixth layer was completely vacant and free for them to wreak havoc on. Was there a better or more suitable battleground?

Worst-case scenario, they could always go to the Fire Element Rock Tiger’s place.

“Delta, let’s head to Twilight Tomb!”
