Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 358: Chapter 354: Digital Fierce Dragon Machine

Elf House.

Zhuge Chen curiously looked at the Mecha Dragon Baby Beast before him and asked, “Is this the ancient species revived by the Jiuli Group?”

“From a certain perspective, it is,” was the reply.

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. The Mecha Dragon Baby Beast was initially a failed experiment raised by his parents, so it indeed belonged to the Jiuli Group.

“And what is this?”

Zhuge Chen took out a white cross-shaped mechanical device and asked, “What did you call it earlier…Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine?”

“Exactly, it’s a Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine.”

Bai Qi grinned, then tossed a specially made Spirit-Control Orb to Zhuge Chen, “Use this Spirit-Control Orb to form a contract with the Baby Dragon Beast, then infuse it with your spirit power into your Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine.”

Zhuge Chen was somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding the purpose of Bai Qi’s instructions. However, after seeing the expectant faces of Bai Qi’s parents behind him, he obediently followed Bai Qi’s steps.

“Son, are you sure it will work?” Luo Zhu asked, uncertain.

“I’m not sure, but let’s give it a try.”

Bai Qi cast a resigned glance at Luo Zhu, “Mom, if you’re so curious, why don’t you form the contract yourself? Since you two are also talentless, becoming a Spirit Controller shouldn’t be a problem.”

“You say that, but becoming either a Spirit Controller or Beast Master would take up a lot of our time and thoughts, which wouldn’t benefit our research careers,” Madam Bai shook her head and added, “Also, if successful, this would be quite helpful to Zhuge Chen.”

“Well, okay, the situation with the Baby Dragon Beast is indeed hard to replicate.”

Bai Qi nodded, then he focused his attention on Zhuge Chen.

At first, the Baby Dragon Beast was somewhat resistant to the stranger, Zhuge Chen. However, under the relentless onslaught of Zhuge Chen’s many years of experience in the Elf House and his amicable temperament, the Baby Dragon Beast gradually lowered its guard and willingly approached Zhuge Chen.

Zhuge Chen understood how to handle this situation; instead of rushing the contract, he took out some food to feed the Baby Dragon Beast, gently patted its head, and once the Baby Dragon Beast stopped resisting, he gently knocked the Spirit-Control Orb on the Baby Dragon Beast’s head.

The rune formed instantaneously, showing no delay. A unique bond gradually began to form between Zhuge Chen and the Baby Dragon Beast.

The contract was completed.

“That’s good, it seems Ancient Species can establish a contract just like the normal beasts.”

Bai Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and awaited Zhuge Chen’s next steps with anticipation.

Three days ago, when his parents returned home, Bai Qi couldn’t help but tell them about the Baby Dragon Beast.

At first, they were somewhat surprised that Bai Qi could revive the Fossil Egg, but that was about it since the fossil embryos had been dormant for so many years, and anything could happen.

However, upon learning that the Baby Dragon Beast could also temporarily evolve, his parents became interested and spent the next three days and nights researching with Bai Qi. When Bai Qi completed the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine, their research also ended.

And now, it was time to test if their first collaborative effort succeeded.

After successfully forming a contract with the Baby Dragon Beast, Zhuge Chen then took out the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine and began to infuse his spirit power into it bit by bit. On the screen of the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine, a strange rune slowly lit up.

At the same time, similar runes also appeared on the armour of the Baby Dragon Beast, each subtly responding to the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine in Zhuge Chen’s hand.

Finally, when Zhuge Chen’s spirit power was nearly exhausted, the rune on the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine activated. A triumphant tune suddenly sounded, and a glow enveloped the mechanical armour on the body of the Baby Dragon Beast.

In a flash, the Evolution Light shimmered, and the Baby Dragon Beast’s body significantly enlarged. It had transformed into a mechanical Fierce Dragon more than five meters tall.

Its mechanical armour enveloped half of its body, and its metallic claws were sharp and intimidating. It looked like an ancient Fierce Dragon that had undergone an Armament Evolution.

“This… seems no different from Armament Evolution?” Zhuge Chen had an alternate viewpoint even in his astonishment.

Bai Qi smiled in response but offered no explanation. Instead, he turned towards Bai Yan, who promptly stepped forward and explained, “Ancient species generally have higher levels, and even their babies are not so easily contracted by low-level Beast Masters or Spirit Controllers.”

“Now, despite only being able to evolve for a short time, it allows you to successfully form a contract with an Ancient Species without backlash.”

“Short-time evolution?”

Zhuge Chen was stunned, but before he could reason it out, the once awe-inspiring Fierce Dragon Beast had returned to its original Baby Dragon Beast form.

“The Baby Dragon Beast was only born a few days ago and can’t maintain such a powerful form for long. However, your spirit power can alleviate some of its pressure and extend its evolution time,” Bai Qi patted Zhuge Chen’s shoulder and added, “So, if you want the Baby Dragon Beast to have the same combat power as Garulu, you need to spend more time bonding with it.”

“I installed a Spirit Power Storage Device in both the Tyrannosaurus Machine and the Baby Dragon Beast’s armour. If you don’t want a lack of spirit power to cause a failed evolution, remember to store it all the time.”

Zhuge Chen nodded, gripping the Tyrannosaurus Machine tightly in his hand. He patted the Baby Dragon Beast, which was somewhat weak from successive evolutions and regresses, and said, “Then, please guide me from now on.”

Roar~

The Dragon Cub Beast nodded and affectionately nuzzled against Zhuge Chen’s palm.

“If you could awaken, you would possess formidable mind communication talents.”

Observing how quickly Zhuge Chen earned the favor of the Dragon Cub Beast, Bai Qi gave him an approving thumbs up.

“Don’t tease me. If it weren’t for you, I might never have had the chance to experience controlling beasts.”

Zhuge Chen returned Bai Qi an appreciative gaze. Avoiding the look, Bai Qi said, “Don’t look at me like that; I have regular preferences.”

Saying so, Bai Qi lightly tapped a spot on the back of the Dragon Cub Beast’s neck, revealing a cross-shaped crevice in front of them.

“After filling the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine with spirit power, put the Fierce Dragon Machine here to maintain a connection with this array. If the link is severed for too long, there might be a chance of disconnection.”

“Disconnection?”

Zhuge Chen was taken aback, looking at the Fierce Dragon Machine in his hand, he said, “In that case, why not infuse the spirit power beforehand, like we do with the Spirit-Control Orb?”

“Tsk, tsk… It’s called sentimentality; you wouldn’t understand.”

Bai Qi wagged a finger, “Don’t you think it would be exhilarating to hear the music play when you infuse spirit power into the Fierce Dragon Machine?”

Zhuge Chen: “…When did you start being so eccentric, Bai Qi?”

“Tch, that’s boring.”

Hearing Zhuge Chen’s response, Bai Qi couldn’t help but spit dismissively before explaining, “Infusing spirit power in advance would work, but if you run out of spirit power in the middle of a fight, you can temporarily supply spirit power through the Armed Tyrannosaurus Machine. It may not last long, but it’s better than none.”

After hearing that, Zhuge Chen finally understood.

“I get it now, thank you for your gift.”

Zhuge Chen pocketed the Fierce Dragon Machine, looking at the adorable Dragon Cub Beast at his feet, he suddenly asked, “Bai Qi, can this Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine be widely used?”

The Rune Evolution and Armament Evolution provided by Bai Qi indeed provided another path of strengthening for Spirit Controllers, but controlling a pet beast after evolution had also significantly increased.

So far, there have been instances where pet beasts broke the Spirit Master Contract after evolution.

But this was different. Without the spirit of the Spirit Controller, the pet beast would still be the same cute, low-level pet beast. When needed, it could exert formidable combat power. This formula was tailor-made for Spirit Controllers.

“Erm, it might not work for now because the Dragon Cub Beast is a bit special.”

Bai Qi shook his head. The changes in the Dragon Cub Beast were inseparable from Delta, and Bai Qi didn’t want his pet beast to become a test subject because of this.

“Is that so…”

Zhuge Chen felt some regrets upon hearing this, but quickly recovered, saying, “My Aunt Bai and Uncle Bai are here together, why don’t we have a casual meal at my place? My dad should be home soon.”

“There’s no need for that. We still have some research to finish.”

Hearing this, Bai Yan declined immediately. These days of research gave them new inspiration, and inspiration needed to be seized immediately.

“Uncle Bai, aren’t you pushing a bit too hard?”

Zhuge Chen gave a helpless smile, “Didn’t Bai Qi say that you and Auntie were going to rest at home for a month?”

“That was just a passing thought. Still, we are staying here for now. After all, Bai Qi has a complete set of equipment here. There’s no difference.”

Saying this, Bai Yan turned to Bai Qi, ” I’ll head back first to receive some materials. You come back as soon as possible to help us deliver them to the Secret Realm Base.”

“Erm, okay.”

Bai Qi scratched his head, agreeing. Bai Yan and Luo Zhu bid farewell to Zhuge Chen and left immediately.

“With such industrious parents, it’s no wonder you’re so hardworking, Bai Qi.”

Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi sympathetically, but Bai Qi just rolled his eyes and replied, “Look who’s talking. Someone gets quite fired up when it comes to business discussions.”

The two exchanged smiles and after some casual conversation, Bai Qi looked at the time, saying, “I’ll leave the Dragon Cub Beast to you. Come to my house every three days for a check-up. If anything goes wrong, come and find me as soon as possible. If I’m not there, you can find my parents.”

“Where are you off to this time?”

Zhuge Chen asked, confused.

“Nowhere, just going to clear some Ferocious Beasts in the vicinity.”

Bai Qi waved goodbye to Zhuge Chen, “I’ll leave now, come find me in three days.”

With that, Bai Qi summoned Delta and disappeared into the sky.

“This family, they always seem to be rushing around…”
