Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 482: Chapter 477: First Time Hearing about the Holy Light Festival

Without a doubt, the Brita family, with its long heritage as a grand family, held a rather elegant dinner. Each dish was crafted with great detail and finesse.

However, the quantity was somewhat lacking, hardly enough to satisfy Bai Qi’s hunger.

Oh well, perhaps he would request an extra meal from Gamma when he returned.

Noticing that the others, including Zhuge Xu, were leisurely savouring their meals, Bai Qi put down his cutlery, allowing his curiosity to sweep the room.

“Master Bai Qi, I heard that you’re about to start teaching at all five colleges of the Star Mechanics Academy?”

Charles Brita, noticing that Bai Qi seemed a touch bored, initiated the conversation.

“Yes.”

Bai Qi nodded. The announcement of him being hired by the Star Mechanics Academy had been publicized on the academy’s official website long before, it was no secret.

“What a pity that our Royal Science of Ethics Academy couldn’t secure such a distinguished teacher as you, Master Bai Qi. I fear we won’t be able to compete with the Star Mechanics Academy now.”

The Royal Science of Ethics Academy was also among the top ten academies in the Federation, and its ranking was very close to that of the Star Mechanics Academy.

“Mr. Charles, you’re too kind. I’m just an instructor.”

Bai Qi shrugged, then turned his gaze to an elaborate knight’s armor displayed against a wall. “Mr. Charles, is that armor an art piece?”

Charles turned to look, laughed lightly, and replied, “That armor was worn by the thirteenth patriarch of the Brita family. It’s not an art piece.”

“Oh, then it must be an antique.”

Bai Qi nodded in agreement, “Considering the armor, it appears that your ancestors must have been formidable knights. They probably had a knight’s legion behind them, didn’t they?”

“Indeed, they did.”

At that, Wells cut in, a genuine sense of pride spreading across his face, “The first head of the Brita family once formed a knights’ legion. With his twelve round table knights, they fought battles throughout the north and south, and even established an empire.”

“Unfortunately, for various reasons, the empire did not endure.”

“That is indeed a pity.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, but his gaze became increasingly strange as his eyes settled upon the knight’s armor again. Bright Spirit Gold, Round Table Knights, had he really stumbled upon the lair of the Death Round Table?

“But speaking of knights, I recall that the Bo Ge family once formed a Holy Knights team, a truly formidable entity.”

Charles laughed lightly, turning to John and saying,

“Many of the historical incidents of the Undead Catastrophe were pacified because of the Holy Knights.”

“That was just a protective legion formed by our ancestors to defend the family. It cannot be compared to the Round Table Knights of the Brita family.”

John shook his head, “I’ve finished my dinner and would like to retire now, if you’ll excuse me.”

Having offered a gentle bow to the gathering, he turned to leave, followed by Dean.

In light of this, the rest of us should retire as well.”

Having observed the sequence, Zhuge Xu also suggested leaving. Without finding it strange, both Charles and Wells saw them off to their respective accommodations.

“Uncle Zhuge, can you explain the exact purpose of our visit here?”

Having returned to his accommodation, Bai Qi could not help but express the doubts growing within him.

“Our purpose?”

Zhuge Xu shrugged his shoulders at Bai Qi’s query, “We’re merely discussing business, and also to acquaint you with the commercial landscape.”

“Really?”

“When has Uncle Zhuge ever lied to you? Get some rest, we’ll be visiting the Bo Ge family estate tomorrow.”

Upon completion of his suggestion, Zhuge Xu was the first to retire to his room.

“Just to discuss business…?”

Watching Zhuge Xu depart, Bai Qi was full of skepticism. But it seemed he wouldn’t be able to extract any more information from him. Given his disillusionment, Bai Qi had no choice but to retire for the night.

The Brita Family, Bo Ge Family. This western region truly is dangerous.

…

The following day.

Stifling beneath the weight of massive dark circles under his eyes, Bai Qi exited his room, gazing helplessly at the refreshing countenances of Zhuge Xu and Zhuge Chen and sighed in defeat.

Considering the Death Round Table’s attitude towards Alpha, coupled with his suspicions about the Brita family, he hadn’t been able to catch a wink of sleep.

However, it was a relief that he had managed to endure the night.

“Master Bai Qi, you woke up early?”

Charles Brita, in the middle of his morning workout, saw Bai Qi and the Zhuges emerge from their accommodations, ceased his exercises, wiped the sweat from his skin, and approached them.

“We are habitual early risers.”

Zhuge Xu chuckled saying, “What about the individuals from the Bo Ge family, haven’t they woken yet?”

“They woke even earlier than me. They seem to be arranging matters for their return to the Bo Ge family.”

Charles laughed, saying, “Actually it should’ve been us, the Brita family, showing all of you proper hospitality, but we were superseded by the Bo Ge family, which was, indeed, quite rude.”

“No hurry, there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

The two men exchanged understanding smiles, the playfully suggestive look exchanged making Bai Qi shudder.

Two mature men exchanging such looks…it was simply too outlandish.

After their brief exchange, Charles led the three of them towards the dining hall.

“Right, I remember that the Bo Ge family’s Holy Light Festival is coming up soon. Won’t the Brita family be attending?”

Zhuge Xu looked at Charles, implying.

“So that’s why you, Chairman Zhuge, agreed to John’s invitation. You’re aiming for the Bo Ge family’s Holy Light Festival.”

At Charles’ explanation, realization dawned on Bai Qi. He turned to Bai Qi and said, “Indeed, if Master Bai Qi takes part, there’s a high chance of getting that Divine Nature.”

“Divine Nature?”

Bai Qi paused at this, and said, “Does the Bo Ge family really have gods?”

Zhuge Xu chuckled and said, “Divine Nature is just a term. It’s the special material made by the Bo Ge family by imitating the Divine Nature of Mythical Species Angels using secret methods. It can unconditionally strengthen the soul and physical Talent of a Beast Master.”

“There’s such a good thing?”

Interest sparked in Bai Qi at this. The enhancement of physique and soul could greatly reduce his promotion to Seven Stage, couldn’t it?

Wouldn’t he need not worry about being put in such a difficult position when he encountered Legendary creatures once he became a Legend?

He was determined to get that Divine Nature!

“Of course, Uncle has never lied to you.”

Zhuge Xu smiled and said, “When the Holy Light Festival is held by the Bo Ge family, they gather elites from all over the Federation. Among them, there are also Six Stage Beast Masters, so it’s not easy. Bai Qi, you should prepare yourself mentally.”

“Understood.”

Bai Qi nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Uncle Zhuge, can this Divine Nature be used by those without Talent?”

Zhuge Xu said, “Yes, it can, and there’s a certain chance it could awaken Talents, but the probability is not very high.”

Understanding dawned on Bai Qi, and Zhuge Chen on the side couldn’t help but get a little excited.

No wonder his father had specially brought him over and unilaterally agreed to the Bo Ge family’s invitation. It was for this.

After the group enjoyed an exquisite breakfast in the restaurant, took a short break, and then Dean appeared before Bai Qi.

“Master Bai Qi, my father has gone back to arrange other things, so he specifically asked me to stay back and escort you to the Bo Ge family,” Dean said, smiling broadly and humbly, totally different from what they saw before.

“That’s very kind.”

Bai Qi eyed Dean curiously and then said goodbye to Charles. Under Dean’s lead, he got into a luxurious car.

Despite both being in the Western Region, the Bo Ge family and the Brita family were quite distant from each other. So after driving for a while, the group switched to an airplane, and then they headed toward the Bo Ge family.

“Dean, I heard the Bo Ge family is holding a Holy Light Festival?”

Bai Qi couldn’t contain his curiosity on the plane and asked.

“Yes, if Master Bai Qi you hadn’t come to the Brita family, we would have gone to invite you. Now, it’s the destiny,” Dean replied.

Dean nodded, “The Bo Ge family invite some talented people to attend each time they hold the Holy Light Festival. For talents like Master Bai Qi, we definitely won’t miss.”

“I see…”

Bai Qi nodded, understanding. No wonder these people always wanted to invite him to the Bo Ge family. They probably wanted to use the Divine Nature to attract some wild talents.

But he had joined the association long time ago, so this seemed rather pointless.

Seeing Bai Qi’s puzzled face, Dean smiled elegantly and said nothing more. He glanced at Zhuge Xu, who was already dozing off on the side, and also began to take a short nap.

After half a day, the plane landed again.

The tight schedule gave Bai Qi a glimpse into the unique cultural styles of the two big Western Region families. However, for some reason, when he saw the architectural style of the Bo Ge family, Bai Qi felt it was somewhat strange.

While it integrated both classical and modern cultures just like the Brita family, the Bo Ge family seemed to be somewhat mixed. That is, among these buildings, cultural characteristics from various places could be seen, and they were all merged together. However, it was obviously a bit forced, somewhat like a hodgepodge.

That said, the large sculpture of the Six-winged Angel was an exception.

“Master Bai Qi, please come with me,” Dean approached Bai Qi and said, “The Holy Light Festival will start tomorrow. I will guide you to the place of rest first.”

“That’s very kind.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly while following Dean and surveying the surroundings with curiosity.

Apart from them, there were quite a few people guided forward by the Bo Ge family on the huge airport. Some obviously belonged to other forces and should be just like them.

However, most of them were unaffiliated people.

“It seems Dean was right. The Bo Ge family does make quite an effort,” Bai Qi thought.

Although the federation was huge, most of the Beast Master talent had been divided by the association and the federation, and what was left had been roughly divided up by the consortium.

It was noteworthy that the Bo Ge family could find so many people.

“Bai Qi?!”

Just then a familiar voice came from behind Bai Qi.

He turned around and found they were Wang Yun and Li Shi.

“Why are you guys here?”

Bai Qi asked curiously.

“Li Shi’s family has some cooperation with the Bo Ge family and was invited to the Holy Light Festival. I just came for fun,” said Wang Yun, shrugging.

“I see.”

Bai Qi nodded, then looked behind them and asked, “Did he also come with you?”

“Him? He came on his own.”

Wang Yun sighed, and Li Shi next to him showed an awkward smile.

Following behind them was none other than Wu Yi.
