Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 543: Chapter 538: I’ve Also Become Second Generation, Right?

After listening to Wang Chen’s introduction, Bai Qi and the others were shocked into silence. Huangfu Wujiu’s face showed a hint of helplessness, he said, “Wang Chen, can you refrain from introducing us like that next time?”

“Is there a problem? I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”

Wang Chen shrugged, then pointed to Bai Qi, adding, “So, this is Bai Qi, Lao Bai’s disciple.”

“Ah, I’ve heard of him.”

Huangfu Wujiu gave a small nod. He extended his hand, Bai Qi, recognizing the gesture, immediately reached out and firmly shook it.

Seeing Bai Qi could actually grip his hand and even shake it, Huangfu Wujiu appeared slightly surprised. After a while, he managed to find the words to say.

“You have a good physique, a shame you didn’t choose the path of the combat system.”

What the heck? Did Beast Masters from the Combat System judge suitability based on a Beast Master’s physique?

A twitch appeared at the corner of Bai Qi’s mouth upon hearing this. He couldn’t help but think of the people from the Haoli Dojo.

Seemingly, all Beast Masters from the Combat System really were muscle-heads.

“If I get a chance, I’ll definitely give it a try.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Hmm.”

Huangfu Wujiu nodded in response then stayed silent. Wang Chen, however, looked towards Bai Yuxiao and others standing behind Bai Qi with a smile, saying, “We have a little something to discuss. Could you please leave us alone for now, Student Bai?”

“Um, of course! Of course!”

Bai Yuxiao nodded continuously. But just before leaving, he took an unconscious glance at Huangfu Wujiu.

Titled Legendary, Fighter Huangfu Wujiu – his father’s strong competitor.

He finally got to see what this great figure looked like.

Once Bai Yuxiao left, the smile on Wang Chen’s face disappeared. He turned his attention to Bai Qi, asking, “Bai Qi, you must be aware of the purpose of this military training exercise, right?”

“Yes.”

Bai Qi nodded. The military training exercise was evidently a preparation for a large-scale war with the tribes to familiarize the young Beast Masters with the new troop types.

However, judging by Wang Chen and the others’ expressions, Luo Xiang’s prediction of a year was probably an exaggeration.

Putting a newly-formed army on the front lines just a few months after its creation, they were clearly preparing for war at any moment.

“The Federation has been preparing for the tribe’s attack these past years, especially in the last two, which you have been part of.”

Wang Chen turned to Bai Qi, explaining, “This large-scale military training is sort of a vaccine for these young people who have been in comfort for a decade or two. That way they don’t end up going through life having never done anything.”

“I understand.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. He had been made aware of this situation in his combat classes. To be honest, compared to the tribes, the Federation’s mid to lower-ranking forces was lacking.

“But you don’t need to be so pessimistic. With all the chaos you’ve stirred up in the tribes, I reckon they’ll be in a mess for quite a while. We’re just taking precautionary measures.”

Suddenly, Wang Chen wore a sunny smile, showing no signs of his earlier grave demeanor.

“Also, we have yet to catch a big rat inside the Federation~”

Hearing Wang Chen’s words, Bai Qi’s eyebrows raised as if he understood something.

Death Round Table.

Given that the Bo Ge family managed to escape the Thirteenth Bureau’s encirclement without a hitch, the Death Round Table was far stronger than they had anticipated.

The crux of the matter was that, according to the current intelligence they chanced upon, there was a high possibility that the Death Round Table would turn around and strike during the large-scale war between the Federation and the tribes.

Thus, Wang Chen and the others’ current goal must be to unearth the Death Round Table first.

Why Wang Chen specifically kept him behind now became abundantly clear.

“You suspect that King Legendary there might be some of the Death Round Table’s people hidden inside the army?”

“You’re indeed smart. No wonder Lao Bai can’t let go of you.”

Wang Chen grinned, “Indeed, we suspect that there are moles from the Death Round Table and the Tribes in our army, and plan to leverage this military training exercise to investigate further.”

“Bai Qi, you’ve had your fair share of dealings with the Death Round Table, maybe you can help.”

“Of course, there’s no problem if you can’t find them. After all, the best outcome is that there are no moles in the army.”

Bai Qi’s eye twitched at the response, reading between the lines, they were sure that if he went, the Death Round Table would definitely take action against him.

He just knew it; even if it was to put his teacher at ease, there was no need to go through such a hassle, inviting a Titled Legendary to act as a bodyguard. Turned out they saw him as bait.

But could they not always use him as bait? It was truly dangerous…

“Don’t worry, this is just a side mission. Your main task is to help the military improve the battlefield adaptability of their Rune Mechanical Armor. You don’t need to give it much thought.”

Wang Chen stood up, patted Bai Qi’s shoulder saying, “Lao Bai treasures his disciple. If something happened to you during my watch, he’d probably tear down my Morning Star.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Bai Qi nodded resignedly in response. When a Titled Legendary puts it plainly like that, it’s not easy for him to refuse.

And to be honest, after his journey to the tribes, he was keen to head out again and do some adventuring.

He couldn’t find any good materials just by staying at home all day~

“In that case, you should go back and start preparing.”

Wang Chen gave a small nod, adding, “When we’re ready to leave, Huangfu will accompany you.”

Bai Qi nodded, then turned and left.

“Wang Chen, are you sure that sending Bai Qi out at this time is really a good idea?”

Huangfu Wujiu turned to Bai Qi and said.

“There’s nothing good or bad about it. Bai Qi can’t be treated as an ordinary research talent. Especially at this awkward time, free time is the best choice.”

Wang Chen stretched lazily and said, “Don’t forget, that’s how the old man trained me.”

“Our situation back then was unique, it can’t be compared.”

Huangfu Wujiu evidently didn’t agree with Wang Chen’s idea, and he frowned slightly.

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Unique? Speaking of unique, isn’t this the most unique time for humans and ferocious beasts?”

“The situation between humans and tribes for so many years should change.”

…

The desolate desert.

Swarms of camo-colored battle vehicles zoomed past, with the ferocious beasts in their path hurriedly moving aside, afraid of being mistaken as enemies.

This was a habit universally recognized by every ferocious beast, intelligent or not, in the desolate desert: to move out of the way when they saw these steel monsters. If not, they would either be killed on the spot or else hunted down by the terrifying humans afterwards.

“So this is the desolate desert, true to its name.”

Looking out from the window of the battle vehicle, Bai Qi took in the exterior scenery.

Besides the desolation, there was more desolation. The yellow sky-spanning sand was comparable to the desert surrounding the Black Dragon Tribe. Apart from the distant black line that divided the sky and the earth, Bai Qi was having difficulty making out the rest.

“If not for this, the tribe wouldn’t have given up on such a large piece of land.”

Duanmeng spoke indifferently.

“Makes sense.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded. As the northernmost territory of the Federation, almost no humans lived in the desolate desert.

Besides the Federation Army.

This desolate land was the longest border between the Federation and tribal territories. Due to its geographical factor, if they had allowed the ferocious beasts to roam freely, it would have easily resulted in a beast tide that the Federation wouldn’t be able to stop.

Hence, the number of troops in the desolate desert was the highest in the entire Federation.

“But why did Master Duan also come?”

Bai Qi was a bit puzzled. Duanmeng was currently the core mission of the Undead Department’s teaching team. Without his presence, the Undead Department would have been in chaos.

“How could I not come?”

Duanmeng glanced at Bai Qiucha and Bai Yuxuino sitting at the back. Both of these Legendary Sons were sons of their Undead Department. Now that they had come to the desolate desert for military training, if something were to go wrong, their Undead Department might as well close down in the future.

“Alright.”

Bai Qi smiled wryly. He looked at Huangfu Wujiu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and remained silent.

He didn’t expect that one day he would end up sitting in such a second generation’s car.

Moreover, he was the one with the highest treatment inside.

“However, the number of people participating in the military training this time is much less than I thought.”

Bai Qi looked at the three battle vehicles behind through the window, and said, “Ten people from a single college, can we really see anything?”

“After all, this is the military, and influx of too many people would make management inconvenient. Besides, counting the people from the other two colleges, it would be enough to form a platoon.”

Duanmeng shook his head and said, “Moreover, this is just the first batch. After you guys have successfully gone through it, the second batch will soon follow.”

Having said that, Duanmeng suddenly realized his slip of our tongue, and added, “We teachers who lead the training also need to receive military training. So you better be prepared.”

He almost forgot, the one in front of him was now a Six Stage Master, just like him.

“Are teachers also included?”

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this, but showed no dissatisfaction. Instead, he seemed to be slightly looking forward to it.

If teachers also had responsibilities, then he would probably come into contact with the ferocious beasts in the desolate desert, right? Maybe there would be unexpected gains.

“Of course, and you will undoubtedly be the focal point everyone is looking at.”

Duanmeng nodded solemnly. He then realized that the vehicle stopped. Huangfu Wujiu who was at the very front also turned around and said, “We’re here, get out of the car.”

Bai Qi and the others slightly nodded and began to get out of the car.

“Holy crap, such a huge wall?”

As soon as they got out of the car, Bai Yuxiao exclaimed as he looked ahead. Bai Qi also followed Bai Yuxiao’s gaze to find a black steel Great Wall standing in front of them.

“I thought it was some peculiar landform, it is actually a city wall?”

Bai Qi looked at the black wall that extended into the distance and sighed in admiration.

Despite technological advancements, humans still enjoyed protecting themselves with walls. The sea’s Boundary Wall was one, and this place was another.

“Welcome to the Wall of Desolation. For the next month, you will be spending your time here.”

Huangfu Wujiu stepped out of the car. Looking at these young Beast Masters in front of him, he said, “But, before we enter, let me say this.”

“Here, if you don’t want to die, obey all commands!”
