Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 629 - 624: What is called a gifted talent!
Chapter 629: Chapter 624: What is called a gifted talent!
Clap! Clap! Clap!…
As Lin WuMu was pondering what he should offer in exchange to Bai Qi for the technique of cultivating Insect Dragons, Lin Fugui, and the Legend Keeper, walked over clapping their hands together.
“What a thrilling battle.”
With a grin on his face, Lin Fugui said, “The Legendary Celestial Brilliance Academy must be ecstatic to have such an outstanding student as their head, probably even laughing in their sleep.”
“You flatter me, Lin Chuanqi. I am still far from my mentor’s expectation.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, and replied.
...
It was clear his master’s expectations considering he had entrusted him with the materials to create the Secret Realm Tower.
Legend.
But, if everything went smoothly, advancing to the Legend Realm didn’t seem too far off either.
“Celestial Brilliance does have high expectations in comparison to most. However, Bai Qi, you have more than fulfilled those expectations, making your mentor proud.”
The Legend Keeper wore a faint smile as he said this.
“Thank you for your compliment, Legend Keeper.”
Bai Qi let out a grin and shot a glance at Liu Bei, who was coming over with a smile, then chose not to say anything further.
Seeing this, Lin Fugui seized the opportunity to ask, “From what I observed, Bai Qi, you summoned four Insect Dragons. Did you make a breakthrough in the field?”
Lin WuMu was rejuvenated on hearing this and looked at Bai Qi in anticipation.
“Sorry to disappoint, but no. Except for my pet, the other three were solely summoned through skills.”
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Lin WuMu’s spirits fell. However, his spirits were lifted when he caught Bai Qi’s following words.
“Yet, I must say, Epsilon indeed awakened its Dragon Bloodline and transformed into its present form after ingesting the Awakening Potion.”
“Bing Yu Branch is indeed one step ahead of us with their Awakening Potion.”
Lin Fugui was not surprised at all. He turned to Liu Bei and said, “Principal Liu, as a formal representative of Cangzhe Academy, I would like to extend an invitation of collaboration to Super God Evolution Research Institute Bing Yu Branch. What do you say, Principal Liu?”
“Our headmaster is present, I’ll defer to him.”
Liu Bei slightly bowed, giving the decision-making authority to Bai Qi.
“I haven’t any objections, since the Awakening Potion is the result of Bing Yu Branch’s research. I think Uncle Liu, you should make the decision.”
With a faint smile, Bai Qi returned the decision-making authority back to Liu Bei and then, he began to inquire about the state of the Worm Grass.
“Epsilon, any after-effects from using the Eye of Nightmare?”
“Reporting to boss, it seems to have less effect than before, but I still can’t completely eliminate its influence.”
Worm Grass felt around before responding.
“Hmm, it seems we still can’t use it as a standard skill.”
As Bai Qi stroked his chin and said, “You should go find Beta to help you purify it. Later, we’ll pay attention to some purification skills and find the right ones to complement you.”
“Yes, boss, I’ll go right away.”
Worm Grass obediently nodded, then voluntarily returned to the Secret Realm to seek help from Beta.
Upon seeing Worm Grass’s disappearance, the others drew back their gaze from her and began to discuss collaboration methods with Liu Bei.

“Our Cangzhe Academy aims to blend various powerful bloodlines to cultivate new and powerful pet beasts, but we have not made substantial progress. However, with the introduction of Bing Yu Branch’s Awakening Potion, perhaps we will.”
Speaking straight to the point, Lin Fugui expressed his idea. Liu Bei, not beating around the bush, said, “You’re holding Bing Yu Branch too highly. We are yet to overcome the side effects of the Awakening Potion. It’s just that our headmaster is indeed gifted, which accounts for the potent effect. However, if we can have various bloodline samples courtesy of Cangzhe Academy, I believe these issues can be rectified soon.”
“That would be exceptionally good.”
“Ha ha ha…”
They shared a laugh and quickly reached a preliminary consensus, not saying much thereafter.
“Director Bai, you left in a hurry that day, you didn’t even get the chance to tour the Hidden Dragon Cave. Why don’t we go and take a look now?”
Lin Fugui looked at Bai Qi and said, “In the process, Bing Yu Branch can also pick some suitable test subjects.”
They want to do tests already?
Bai Qi paused at his proposition, realizing that he had underestimated Cangzhe Academy’s obsession with the Insect Dragon. After some pondering, he agreed.
Both the Tree of Awakening and the Hidden Dragon Cave were discovered in Thunder Mountain, perhaps he could find some information about the Dragons of Thunder Mountain in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
“In that case, please, follow me.”
Lin Fugui nodded slightly and personally took the lead to guide the way, while Lin WuMu and other professors closely followed them.
The Hidden Dragon Cave was a paramount element of the Cangzhe Academy and naturally, they wanted to visit it together.
It would give them the opportunity to gauge if Bai Qi indeed had the potent research ability he was rumored to possess.
As far as power was concerned, they felt no need to evaluate further.
Hidden Dragon Cave wasn’t too far from the location of the Fighting Insects Conference. After passing through a long forest path, Bai Qi arrived at the entrance of a cave over ten meters high.
“Bai Qi, there are lots of Dragon Bloodlines in this cave, but they are quite mixed up.”
Nicholas took a sniff and rapidly detected the anomaly in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
“Dragon Bloodlines? Is it the Bipedal Flying Dragon?”
“No, there are many others too, but they are all lower Dragon species.”
Nicholas raised his head high in pride, similar to the Eastern Divine Dragon, the Western Giant Dragon also had many low-ranking dragon species, with the Bipedal Flying Dragon being one of them.
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi became more curious about the Hidden Dragon Cave.
In an era when giant dragons were absent and divine dragons were not visible, it was surprising that the Cang Zhe Academy had hidden so many dragon-blooded creatures within, making him wonder what powerful inheritance they had acquired.
“This is the Hidden Dragon Cave, the habitat of all our Cang Zhe Academy’s dragon-blooded insect pets,”
Lin Fugui introduced, “The pets that the legendary Xiao Ding picked for his grandson came from here.”
“Oh?”
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. Xiao Yuan’s Death Wing Bear Dragon was not weak in battle. Even though it was still unclear what type of dragon species it was, it indirectly revealed the quality of the creatures in the Hidden Dragon Cave.
“The former director and the legendary Xiao Ding were old acquaintances. Plus, the grandson of legendary Xiao Ding was very interested in the dragon-blooded kind. That’s why all his pets were selected from here.”
Lin Fugui chuckled, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
“Speaking of which, that Xiao Yuan is quite an attractive lad.”
Good Lord! This guy surely has a problem!
Bai Qi immediately stiffened, discreetly distancing himself from Lin Fugui. Meanwhile, Lin WuMu, who was off to one side, coughed twice to bring Lin Fugui back from his musings.
“Ahem…sorry, went off-topic”
Lin Fugui cleared his throat and then turned to look at Bai Qi. “Director Bai, did you bring the awakening agents? If so, I would like to evaluate their effects.”
“We have them, but we can’t guarantee there won’t be any side effects,”
Bai Qi exchanged a glance with Liu Bei before speaking.
“That’s okay. There are many creatures in Hidden Dragon Cave troubled by bloodlines. We won’t miss one.”
Lin Fugui waved dismissively, speaking in a tone markedly casual.
“Alright then…”
Seeing Lin Fugui’s carefree attitude, Bai Qi wasn’t too bothered and followed him into the Hidden Dragon Cave.
Just like its over ten-meter tall entrance, the space inside the Hidden Dragon Cave was incredibly vast. Strange creatures fluttered around, ceaselessly encircling the various hollows.
These creatures resembled both dragons and insects, almost all showing some dragon features, but their body structure was more like that of insects.
“Are all these dragon-blooded species?”
Bai Qi estimated the number of insect pets he saw and asked in surprise.
“Of course. Hidden Dragon Cave has been in development from the founding director until now, nearly a century, so the accumulation must be quite impressive.”
Ever since losing the competition, the always quiet Lin WuMu suddenly spoke up, pride in his eyes.
“Cultivated for a century? The Cang Zhe Academy does have a profound heritage.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. The Cang Zhe Academy truly understood the path of low-key development very well. Even though they had many dragon-blooded creatures, few graduates from Cang Zhe Academy were known for having such species.
Were they planning on keeping this a secret until they figured out how to breed insect dragons?
“Unfortunately, such a profound heritage hasn’t yielded any results. I’m not too competent as a director.”
Unable to bear it, Lin Fugui ridiculed himself, “It’s not like the Super God Evolution Research Institute that, although established less than a year ago, has already launched several significant research results that are changing the Federation. It’s truly admirable.”
Upon hearing Lin Fugui’s praise, Lin WuMu went silent. Regardless of whether these things were truly researched by Bai Qi, one point was clear: these studies had elevated the Federation’s strength by another level.
This was similar to the Star Mechanics Academy, which was the last of the top ten institutions to be established, but had seen its ranking skyrocket.
Seeing their reactions, Bai Qi didn’t show any false modesty but, curious, looked around and said, “If Lin Chuanqi wants to start the experiment, why don’t we start now?”
“Of course, you can pick any pet from here, Director Bai.”
Lin Fugui nodded slightly and then turned to look at Legendary Celestial Brilliance, “You can also select freely, Legendary Celestial Brilliance; let’s see the effects of biological transplanting.”
Biological transplanting?
Was this technology from the Yixiu family?
Bai Qi’s eyebrows raised in curiosity. However, Legendary Celestial Brilliance extended his hand to Bai Qi, indicating he should go first.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately began choosing the pet creatures. Before he looked carefully, he noticed several pets were already making their way toward them.
“Aren’t these pets afraid of humans?”
Bai Qi was a little puzzled. But when seeing them all gather around Zhuge Chen, he was even more astonished.
“When did you get so close to these insects, Zhuge Chen?”
Looking at the pets obediently lying before Zhuge Chen and watching him, Bai Qi couldn’t help but chuckle. Lin Fugui and the others were also visibly startled.
These pets were all dragon-blooded species. Even if they couldn’t fully inherit the power of dragons, the pride of the dragons was perfectly passed down.
Unless you directly knock them down, there’s no way you can get these creatures to be so obedient.
Looking at the surprised eyes of those around him, Zhuge Chen was a bit bewildered. After stroking the head of one of the insects, he said uncertainly, “I’m not sure, it’s just that these pets seem to be friendly towards me.”
Friendly? To these wild pets?
Is there really a need to exaggerate the bond between spirit controllers and their pets?
What’s meant by exceptional talent?
This is it!
