Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 205 - 201: Go! Spirit-Control Orb!

Bai Qi packed away Tian Zhong and He Shang’s Poisonous Snake Necklaces and collected the body of Black Water, then finished off with a blast of dragon breath to clear the field before heading back in the direction they had come from.

Considering that the ferocious beasts of the Black Python Tribe were active in this area, it wasn’t far to the Black Python Tribe itself, and there might even be other ferocious beasts coming to investigate the situation. If a King Level or higher-echelon beast arrived, they wouldn’t have it this easy.

Sure enough, shortly after the two left, two giant pythons appeared, but apart from the breath of the Skeleton Dragon, they couldn’t detect any other useful scents.

"How come there are members of the Dragon Race acting around here, has another secret realm been discovered?"

"Are you stupid? Why would the Dragon Race care about the secret realms here? Quickly, go report to Lord Black Water that the Federation might be making a move."

"Are you worried that the Federation might take action against us?"

"Obviously! According to the scouts, the Human Race has found another Legendary Giant Dragon, and they might take the opportunity to attack us."

"Then let’s hurry back!"

...

On the other side, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha swiftly returned to the vicinity of the Stone Tower Secret Realm. Only after confirming there were no pursuers did they finally stop.

Bai Qiucha looked back and said, "We should be safe here. The Black Python Tribe won’t venture this deep."

Bai Qi nodded, this area was close to the Federation, and the high-order beings of the Black Python Tribe would definitely attract the attention of the Federation’s Snares.

Unless the Black Python Tribe intended to start a war with the Federation, they wouldn’t risk getting too close.

"Let’s call it a day then, and we’ll return to training when it’s light out tomorrow."

Bai Qi glanced at the gradually darkening sky and, after greeting Bai Qiucha, headed back to his own secret realm. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Phew—this life is even more fulfilling than specialized training."

First, Alpha awakened the Transcendent Skill, Sword of Death, and then they found a way to further strengthen Delta, followed by an encounter with a Beast Soul Warrior. The day’s gains were quite significant.

"First, let’s deal with the spoils of war."

Bai Qi summoned all four pets, and then began distributing the materials from Black Water.

"Let’s give half to Cha, the venom glands are a side dish for Gamma, the snake bones are for soup for Alpha and Six Corpse, the snake scales can strengthen the defenses of Gamma and Delta, and the snake meat will change up everyone’s diet—yes, that should do it."

After Bai Qi finished allocating, with a swift movement of Alpha’s blade, the large snake body was quickly divided into countless parts.

Awoo—

("I’ve been wanting to eat a vegetarian diet recently, so I won’t partake.")

Crunch, crunch?

("Beta, you’re not eating? Then Gamma will eat your share.")

Blub, blub!

("Thank you, Master!")

Gamma and Delta immediately began feasting enjoyably. The flesh and blood of a Fifth Stage creature was certainly nourishing, especially for the lowest-level Delta, which could increase its Energy Value.

Watching the four pets enjoying their meal, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then took out the Poisonous Snake Necklace from Tian Zhong to examine.

Perhaps because Black Water had already died, the necklace had lost its original luster, but its overall structure was still well-preserved.

"Schuck, help me extract all the runes from it," Bai Qi said as he tossed the necklace to Schuck. Schuck immediately understood, scanned the Poisonous Snake Necklace, and projected a hologram of the necklace.

Bai Qi fiddled with the holographic projection for a while, removing all unrelated elements until only a complex Array projection remained.

"It really seems that the Slave Contracts used to bind ferocious beasts during the Founding Emperor Period evolved from those used by the beasts themselves."

Looking at the Array, which was basically similar in structure to a Slave Contract, Bai Qi’s spirits immediately lifted.

The other features were fine, but the functionality for remote binding and control was definitely worth learning.

"Schuck, list all the runes separately and compare them with the Slave Contract, to find out which runes are different."

"Received."

...

The night passed quickly; Gamma, still full and satisfied, continued to sleep deeply, while Delta had already started its routine charging training, accompanied by Six Corpse—who was also training with Alpha.

As for Schuck, he was assisting Bai Qi in the lab, working on the Poisonous Snake Necklace.

"It seems that it’s not just humans who have made progress—over the years, the Ferocious Beasts have also made some notable improvements."

Bai Qi looked at the nearly disassembled Array in front of him, a trace of a smile on his face.

Although the runes of the Ferocious Beast Tribe and the ancient runes from the Emperor’s Secret Realm had some differences, and the Arrays seemed considerably more complex, with Schuck’s assistance, Bai Qi had mostly deciphered the structure of the Poisonous Snake Necklace’s Array.

The Array structure on the Poisonous Snake Necklace was still primarily for Slave Contracts, but on top of that, the Black Python Tribe had added a mass of runes to strengthen control and extraction efficiency.

However, Bai Qi wasn’t interested in such runes; his attention was entirely focused on the other parts.

"The Spirit Power Storage and amplification structure—this thing is essentially a WIFI signal booster."

Lord Black Water was able to have remote conversations with them using Tian Zhong’s body because of the amplification of this necklace, otherwise with the strength that Lord Black Water had exhibited, they could not have pulled off that previous flashy operation.

"As long as a Spirit Power Storage Device is created following the structure here, we should be able to activate the Rune Tier 2 without needing to form a contractual relationship, right?"

Bai Qi operated on the holographic projection for a while, eliminating all unrelated runes, only retaining a basic storage and amplification structure, then looked at Husky, saying, "Schuck, make a device similar to this rune."

The Poisonous Snake Necklace, although obviously mass-produced, was made of metal that was clearly suitable for conducting Spirit Power, but Bai Qi didn’t care for it at all.

With Etherium Liquid Gold on hand, he didn’t need to look for other metals.

"Alright."

Schuck nodded his head and immediately separated a stream of Etherium Liquid Gold, started constructing the basic Rune Structure, and then added an outer shell.

Soon, a Dog Head Pendant appeared in front of Bai Qi.

"Schuck, when did your taste become the same as Beta’s..."

Bai Qi looked at the Dog Head Pendant in his hand, with a goofy design, the corner of his eyes twitching slightly.

"The last step wasn’t completed by me."

Faced with Bai Qi’s query, Schuck unhesitatingly passed the blame to Beta, while Beta turned his head away with a guilty conscience.

Bark bark!

(This is art, you wouldn’t understand.)

"Forget it, as long as it works."

Bai Qi sighed, infused the Dog Head Pendant with Spirit Power, and the runes on the pendant lit up one by one until Bai Qi could no longer infuse any more Spirit Power, then it slowly returned to calmness.

"It really works."

Seeing the successful experiment, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Now that he had the Spirit Power Storage Device, as long as he refined the Rune Tier 2 Evolution Structure a bit, there shouldn’t be any problems.

No sooner had he thought of it than Bai Qi immediately called up the Tier 2 Rune, retaining only a basic structure for Spirit Power-Energy conduction, and left an input port for the Spirit Power Storage Device, thus completing an integrated Rune Tier 2 Evolution Structure.

"Once we get back, we’ll find a Skeleton Soldier to test it, some minor adjustments should suffice afterward."

Bai Qi stretched lazily, intending to turn off the projection and rest for a while, but upon seeing the rune on the Poisonous Snake Necklace that he had removed, which was left with only a contractual structure, he suddenly had another idea.

"If a Spirit Power Storage Device remotely activates the contract Array, it should not count towards the contract slot limit, right?"

...

Below the Stone Tower Secret Realm.

Bai Qiucha, who had been waiting for quite a while, suddenly looked up and saw an excited Bai Qi appearing before her, asking somewhat perplexedly, "Are you alright? Why did you stay in the Secret Realm for so long?"

"No worries, I was tinkering with something and plan to try it on a Ferocious Beast."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha’s eyebrows rose, immediately thinking of the Poisonous Snake Necklace Bai Qi took earlier, and asked, "Are you planning to try using that necklace on a Ferocious Beast?"

"Sort of, though I made some modifications."

Bai Qi nodded his head, while Bai Qiucha quickly advised, "Please don’t do that, there are precedents in history where people attempted to steal the spirits of pets from Ferocious Beasts, and none met a good end."

"Relax, I don’t fancy being cleared out by my teacher just yet."

Bai Qi smiled and asked in return,

"Speaking of which, Cha, you said all seven of your contract slots were taken up by the Bone Dragon in advance?"

Bai Qiucha nodded and said, "Yeah, when my dad had me contract the Bone Dragon, all of my slots were taken up by it; otherwise, I couldn’t have handled the Bone Dragon’s power."

"Meaning, you can’t possibly contract any other pets?"

"That’s correct."

Bai Qiucha looked at Bai Qi curiously, asking, "Why, is there a problem?"

A relieved smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face as he took out a red-and-white metallic orb and handed it to Bai Qiucha, saying, "Would you like to contract another pet?"

Stunned by his words, Bai Qiucha looked at the technologically advanced orb in her hand, "Contract a pet? With this?"

Bai Qi nodded, "But I’m still testing it, not sure if it will work."

After conceiving the idea of activating contract Rune Marks using a Spirit Power Storage Device, Bai Qi was unstoppable, busying himself until he had just produced a finished product.

His initial plan was to find someone without an awakened Talent to try it, but with a perfect test subject right in front of him, there was no need to go out of his way to look further.

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Bai Qiucha felt a bittersweet amusement.

For humans to contract pets, the only way was through Rune Marks, and it was unrealistic to even think about using a mechanical device to do so, let alone for someone whose contract slots were already occupied.

Yet, seeing Bai Qi eager to try, Bai Qiucha didn’t outright refuse him, asking, "What is this device called, and how should I use it?"

"It’s simple to use; inject your Spirit Power into this button, and then smash it onto a pet after you find one."

"As for the name, I’m thinking of calling it the Spirit... pah pah, Spirit-Control Orb!"

"Remember to shout, ’Go! Spirit-Control Orb!’ before you throw it."
