Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 608: Chapter 603: Is this bond serious?

Luo Zhu’s ambition to dissect the Fire Rock Demon Tiger ultimately wasn’t realized. However, when he found out that the demon tiger was moving in, he voluntarily offered to help with the arrangements.

The purpose of this act was self-evident.

“I hope mom won’t really dissect it. This guy isn’t as gentle-natured as the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit.”

Upon seeing Luo Zhu’s eager disposition matched by Bai Yan’s, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. He quietly hurried over to the Fire Rock Demon Tiger’s side, raising a pre-emptive flag of protest.

Though the Fire Rock Demon Tiger seemed reasonably polite to him, after all, it was an entity capable of emptying out the entire Steaming Hell. Its tiger demon stature was not merely a namesake.

“Don’t worry, it’s just some useless body tissues. For a legendary creature like me, it’s nothing. Consider it my house rent.”

The Fire Rock Demon Tiger noticing Bai Qi’s worries, said, “You are the heir of the Law Emperor. I won’t hurt your parents. Rest assured.”

“emmm… thanks.”

Bai Qi sighed, seeing the ecstatic expressions on both Bai Yan and Luo Zhu’s faces.

He had a hunch that the Fire Rock Demon Tiger would soon regret what he had agreed to.

Swoosh!

A golden array flickered and President Qin rushed out. Upon seeing the Fire Rock Demon Tiger, now shrunken to the size of a kitten in Bai Qi’s hand, his pupils constricted instantly.

“Bai Qi, you… are you okay?”

“What can possibly go wrong with me?”

Bai Qi shook his head again and again, conveying his deal with the Fire Rock Demon Tiger to President Qin. However, he deliberately withheld information about the Dragon Witch Ghoul.

His actions were reminiscent of his past habit of revealing only good news and hiding any bad ones.

Joking aside, what if President Qin was to find out about the Dragon Witch Ghoul affair and impose restrictions on him? He still planned to find some Insect System materials at Cang Zhe Academy to upgrade the worm grass.

“I see.”

Upon hearing this, President Qin had an epiphany. He pondered for a moment, asking, “Are you sure you don’t want to house the Fire Rock Demon Tiger at the Association?”

Considering a legendary creature’s unconventional lifestyle, plus his knowledge of the Bai Yan and Luo Zhu couple, he was genuinely concerned lest they upset their new tenant.

“Shouldn… shouldn’t there be a problem?”

Bai Qi smiled bitterly. He was acutely aware of his parents’ idiosyncrasies, but considering he had conducted similar operations before, and given the Demon Tiger hadn’t objected, he had to let it be.

Being acquainted with the Demon Tiger, and having seen it get beaten up by his teacher, he hoped it wouldn’t take any rash actions.

“By the way, President, why did you suddenly rush over?”

Bai Qi looked at President Qin and understood everything upon seeing his abruptly changed expression.

Upon his return, he first went to the Taize Lake and then idled half a day at the Twilight Tomb, completely forgetting about the Spirit Master Legion’s affairs.

“What do you think? As a president, you’ve given up on daily business affairs which could have been acceptable. But now you’re even leaving the Spirit Master Legion’s issues aside? What are you planning?!”

As expected, President Qin started to berate Bai Qi upon hearing his question. The scene was such that even the Fire Rock Demon Tiger didn’t dare to interrupt the tirade and quietly wriggled free of Bai Qi’s hold to escape to a corner.

“Well, President, let me explain…”

Bai Qi gave an awkward laugh. Upon spotting Zhuge Chen entering the room, he quickly approached him, saying, “I came to discuss things with Zhuge Chen. I want him to give a demonstration to the Spirit Masters~”

Zhuge Chen: “???”

Zhuge Chen was flabbergasted, but seeing Bai Qi winking and making faces, he nodded in agreement.

“Having Zhuge Chen demonstrating? Indeed, it’s a good idea.”

After hearing Bai Qi’s explanation, President Qin’s expression improved slightly, adding, “The headquarters has already sent over the third batch of Spirit Masters. They’re waiting for you to awaken their Bond Curse Marks. So if you don’t have anything else to do, sort it out sooner.”

“The third batch has come?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was rendered speechless. Although Zhao Futu had mentioned building a Spirit Master Legion, weren’t they supposed to try it out first and then proceed slowly? Did they just go all in?

“Why not move them into the Super God Research Institute, President? With three batches all at once, the resources I previously prepared certainly won’t be enough.”

He had already arranged for the production of new Armed Tyrannosaurus Machines, but with the sudden surge in numbers, he was afraid it would have to be done in batches.

“I know. I’ve already had someone move them over for you.”

President Qin pointed out the window, and Bai Qi saw several buses, each bearing the Association’s logo, steadily streaming into the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

“President, when did you become so clever?”

Thump!

President Qin’s eyes twitched, and he landed a punch on Bai Qi’s head, saying, “You brat, itching for a fight, huh? Daring to talk back to me?”

“Stay calm, stay calm. I was just trying to liven up the mood…”

Bai Qi smiled awkwardly, waved at President Qin, and then pulled Zhuge Chen to leave.

“Well then, I’m going to be busy now. I’ll leave the Association’s matters to you, Mr. President.”

“You’re the president! Can’t you bear some responsibility?”

President Qin watched Bai Qi depart, his anger dissipating into laughter.

“That boy! I knew he wouldn’t be fit to be president. So much for my retirement…”

…

Super God Evolution Research Institute’s experimental zone.

Looking at the steadily gathering spirit controllers below the stage, Bai Qi couldn’t help but show a helpless expression on his face.

The first group of spirit controllers came with him; he was clear about their number. However, he wasn’t aware of the second and third batches.

At first, he thought there would only be fifty, like the first batch, but the number suddenly doubled.

“Two-hundred and five? … Does President Zhao not realize that this number contains hints of ridicule?”

“What are you talking about, Bai Qi?”

Hearing Bai Qi’s murmur, Zhuge Chen couldn’t help but inquire.

“Nothing.”

Bai Qi shook his head, saying, “Anyway, I haven’t asked how your Garuda is doing?”

“She’s doing fine, but this little guy’s a bit timid, always bullied by the dragon cub beast.”

A gentle expression appeared on Zhuge Chen’s face as he said, “But overall, it’s still a harmonious situation.”

“That’s good.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking at the assembled spirit controllers. He said, “Later, you will first demonstrate the Bond Curse Mark and your awakening comprehension to them. It might help them.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Zhuge Chen agreed happily, and Bai Qi moved to the front, told the expectant Spirit Controllers, “You all should be very clear about why you are here, so I won’t waste words. Now, everyone, go to the side to receive the new spirit-control orb and the armed tyrannosaurus machine, then form new bonds with your pet beasts. Understood?”

“Understood!”

The spirit controllers responded in unison, and under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, they orderly received their new Spirit-Control Orbs.

It was evident that they had undergone semi-militarized training before coming here.

“Very good, next, just infuse your spirit power.”

Seeing that the spirit controllers formed new contracts with their pet beasts, Bai Qi issued a new order.

In a flash, lights of various colors sparkled. The Bond Curse Mark appeared above the heads of more than half of the people, and the pet beasts they contracted began a new evolution.

When the light dissipated, a series of powerful auras filled the entire experimental area.

“Half of them were already awakened the first time. These people indeed have impressive talents.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, looked at those spirit controllers who were anxious because they could not awaken the Bond Curse Mark. He patted Zhuge Chen’s shoulder, saying, “It’s your turn to perform.”

“Okay.”

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly, walked to the stage and cleared his throat lightly, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Fellow spirit controllers, I know what you’re thinking about right now, which is ‘what exactly is this Bond Curse Mark?’.”

Zhuge Chen’s words made the spirit controllers nod. This question was not only for those who haven’t awakened but also for those who have awakened, who were still somewhat confused.

“The Bond Curse Mark is actually simple. It’s a physical manifestation of the emotion between you and your pet beast.”

Zhuge Chen took out a Spirit-Control Orb and gently tapped it, summoning Garulu.

As soon as Garulu appeared, he affectionately rubbed against Zhuge Chen’s feet and then obediently squatted by Zhuge Chen’s side.

“This is my first spirit, Garulu, and the bond between us is friendship.”

Zhuge Chen activated the Armed Tyrannosaurus Machine and infused it with Spirit Power. A blue Friendship Bond Curse Mark slowly emerged from it, landing on Garulu.

In an instant, the Evolution Light illuminated, and the chilling coldness filled the whole experimental area. All the pet orphans, who were somewhat proud because of their evolution, obediently lay down.

King Creature, Ice Winged Wolf Emperor!

“You have probably noticed that although the starting points are similar, the strengths after evolution differ greatly. The reason lies in whether you have found the right bond and its strength.”

Zhuge Chen patted the head of Ice Winged Wolf Emperor and said, “Garulu and I fostered friendship over a long time of companionship, so it’s very solid. But the time you spend with your beasts may be short, so you need to look for other bonds.”

Having said that, Zhuge Chen summoned the dragon cub beast again and after activating the Courage Bond Curse Mark, the Mecha Dragon Baby Beast also directly evolved into a new form.

King creature, Fiery Flame Fierce Dragon Beast!

“The bond corresponding to the Dragon Cub Beast and me is courage. So, in my opinion, there are many possible directions for Bond Curse Marks. As long as it is emotion, even common interests and hobbies between you and your pet beast can work.”

Upon hearing Zhuge Chen’s words, the spirit controllers’ faces lit up with realization, and then the Bond Curse Mark began to illuminate continuously in the experimental area.

When calmness returned, almost all the spirit controllers in the experimental zone had awakened the Bond Curse Mark.

“No wonder you’re the first one who awakened the Bond Curse Mark, your understanding is indeed deep!”

Bai Qi raised a thumb to Zhuge Chen, then asked, “But are you sure any emotion can awaken it?”

“It should be, any emotion works as long as it resonates with the pet beast.”

Zhuge Chen responded with a nod.

“I see, that explains a lot.”

Raguel also awakened the Bond Curse Mark, which was probably born out of his intense admiration for the Black Dragon, Akuya.

But if any emotional bond can work…

Youth, are you sure the bond in your Bond Curse Mark is upright?
