Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 518: Chapter 513: Duel of Life and Death

Just as Beta and the giant wolf named You Chun were about to find a place to feast, another giant wolf finally spoke.

“You Chun, quit messing around. Is it time to eat?”

“You Mian, old friend, it has been years, we ought to have a good meet-up.”

You Chun exasperatedly glared at You Mian, then turned towards Bai Qi, retorting, “But You Bai, you’re in a bit of a pathetic situation, aren’t you? Just two human servants? And only seven undead slaves.”

Awoo awoo~

(I was getting hungry on the road and used them as emergency rations.)

Nonchalantly, Beta grabbed a bone from Alpha and started gnawing on it.

“Hahaha…you’re still as greedy as ever.”

You Chun burst into laughter, his words filled with nostalgia for the past that almost won Bai Qi over.

“They bought that?”

“That’s to be expected, since Beta is quietly using his Spirit Power to manipulate their thinking.”

A silver wolf-head necklace around Bai Qi’s neck moved, and Schuck’s voice echoed directly in Bai Qi’s mind.

“Huh?”

This slight movement caught You Mian’s attention, and he came up to Bai Qi. Looking at Bai Qi, who was constantly keeping his head lowered, he coldly said, “Worthless slave, this wolf allows you to raise your head.”

“Yes, Great You Mian!”

Bai Qi, adopting the adoring demeanor of the humans around him, had an intensity in his eyes that you’d think he was seeing a long-lost relative.

“Soul Device? You Bai, is this your Beast Soul Warrior?”

You Mian carefully eyed Schuck, who was now in the form of a necklace around Bai Qi’s neck. He then turned to Beta.

Awoo awoo.

(Yes, I found this human to have some talent, so I made him my Beast Soul Warrior.)

Beta nodded continuously, then slapped Bai Qi on the back with a smug look on his wolfish face.

This guy, he’s learned to settle old scores?

Bai Qi swayed slightly, absorbing the blow with the strong physique that the Evolution Egg had granted him, but he was already contemplating how to deal with Beta.

Crunch crunch.

(Boss, please let me do the honors.)

Alpha, who had lost a bone, though it was only a fake one, said quietly.

“I see, no wonder you kept this human.”

You Chun nodded and then, with a big brother demeanor, said, “But your Soul Device is too simple. Our Ghost Wolf Tribe’s Beast Soul Warriors shouldn’t be carrying such a fragile Soul Device. It’s embarrassing.”

With that, You Chun tilted his head, and a burly Beast Soul Warrior ran over from the side.

This Beast Soul Warrior was tall and, standing next to Bai Qi, made Bai Qi look even more slender. The large golden chain around his neck added a layer of boss-like aura.

“You see, this is the Soul Device that we from the Ghost Wolf Tribe should carry – pure strength and power, victory without combat.”

Awoo awoo!

(Yes, yes, I’ve learned!)

Beta nodded repeatedly, while You Bai seemingly grew interested, saying, “Since we’ve met, it’s a good opportunity. Let my Beast Soul Warrior give you some advice. Being so fragile won’t do.”

Upon You Bai’s words, the surrounding humans and wolf beasts quickly scattered, clearing a large area in the middle, while the Beast Soul Warrior knelt down reverently in front of the giant wolf statue in the distance, then bowed to You Bai before standing in front of Bai Qi.

“Uhm, what’s going on?”

Bai Qi looked at the Beast Soul Warrior with a hostile face, completely confused. It was Schuck who provided a timely reminder.

“It’s a tribal tradition. Beast Soul Warriors have to kowtow to the tribe’s chief and their master before dueling, as a sign of respect.”

“Kowtow?”

Bai Qi’s eyes twitched as he looked at Beta, who was wagging his tail expectantly. He silently mimicked the other’s actions.

“Then, let me serve as a referee.”

You Mian stepped forward, announcing, “Duel to the death, begin!”

“Duel to the death?”

Bai Qi was stunned. Immediately afterward, he saw the Beast Soul Warrior’s Martial Soul, a giant wolf, pouncing at him. The savage wolf teeth aimed straight for Bai Qi’s neck.

Seeing this, Bai Qi instinctively wanted to summon his pet for help, but just as the giant wolf’s Martial Soul was about to hit him, a ghostly wolf figure emerged from him and blocked the giant wolf’s Martial Soul.

“Almost forgot I had Jerry on me.”

Bai Qi secretly let out a sigh of relief, watching the Guardian who had also retracted his Martial Soul. He quietly connected with Jerry.

“Jerry, are you sure I can use your power now?”

“Not quite. I haven’t learned the Attached Skill. However, I can make an Undead attack on you, Beast Master. Your attack can also hurt these Martial Souls. Leave the rest to me.”

“I can also hurt the opponent?”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. Though summoning pets for battle was great, the feeling of beating an opponent up by himself didn’t seem too bad either.

“Bring it on!”

Bai Qi smirked, charged towards the pouncing giant wolf’s Martial Soul, and slammed his fist into it.

Awooo!

A mournful howl echoed throughout the tribe. The formidable giant wolf Martial Soul was sent flying back by Bai Qi’s punch. Its Spiritual Soul even faded a bit.

“It really works!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi was even more excited, chasing after the giant wolf’s Martial Soul and hitting it, while Jerry coordinated with Bai Qi’s movements, blocking the attacks Bai Qi failed to notice.

“You Bai, your Beast Soul Warrior talent isn’t bad, but your combat skills are a bit lacking. If you don’t have another way, you’ll still lose.”

Facing the situation where their own Beast Soul Warrior was being beaten, You Chun didn’t panic in the least.

Awoo, awoo~

(No other way, this human is just naturally this way. l’m just generous~)

“Hahaha… Then I really need to give you some good training.”

You Chun let out a melodious wolf howl. The Beast Soul Warrior, who was originally watching on the side, immediately joined the fight, wrapping the giant wolf martial soul around himself.

Following that, the already incredibly robust Beast Soul Warrior’s body grew bigger again, gradually assuming some wolf-like features.

Martial Soul True Body.

When the Beast Soul Warriors’ faith in their own martial soul reached a certain degree, they could integrate the martial soul into their own body. This allowed them to not only gain some abilities of the ferocious beasts, but also to strengthen their own physique.

This kind of strengthening is much, much greater than the strengthening beast pets gave to Beast Trainers.

However, most Beast Soul Warriors were drained of their souls and became the food of vicious beasts before they could reach this stage.

“Damn, he’s going all out.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes narrowed, he quietly asked, “Jerry, is this okay?”

“In theory, it’s not a problem.”

Jerry replied indifferently. Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. But at this moment, the Beast Soul Warrior had already attacked in front of Bai Qi.

Seeing this, Bai Qi hurriedly reached out to stop him and surprisingly grabbed the other’s arm. The Beast Soul Warrior stopped attacking at once.

“This…”

Looking at the Beast Soul Warrior who was blushing but unable to break free, Bai Qi was a bit shocked. He couldn’t help but say, “You’re so big, but you’re all show?”

“It’s just that your physique, Beast Trainer, is too strong.”

Schuck shook his necklace and said, “You’re tormented by the Evolution Egg every day. Not to mention a Six Stage Beast Trainer, even a Seven Stage Legend might not have as robust a physique as you. Just dealing with a Beast Soul Warrior is more than enough.”

“So that’s why I didn’t pay much attention to it normally.”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He had been researching daily and only felt his body getting better. He hadn’t realized that his strength had also grown so much.

“Strength, speed, and physique are all inseparable, this is very normal.”

Jerry said, “However, you should finish this quickly, so as not to give the game away.”

“Alright.”

After coming to this world, this was the first time Bai Qi took direct action in a fight. In his excitement, he didn’t pay attention to the change in identity, and after grabbing the Wolf’s Tooth Stick that Jerry had condensed, he mercilessly launched an attack on the Beast Soul Warrior.

As for why he didn’t use use his usual wand, there were many hidden Beast Soul Warriors within the Federation, and Bai Qi was a high-profile figure, he naturally needed to be cautious.

However, although the appearance had changed, the effect of restraining the soul body was still quite significant. He quickly beat the Beast Soul Warrior until he was bruised and swollen, making him retreat in defeat.

“Phew~ the feeling of doing it yourself, it really is great.”

Bai Qi pinched his own muscles, seemingly unsatisfied and looked around, as if he hoped for another challenger.

“I didn’t know that you, You Bai, were hiding so deep.”

You Chun wiped the smile off his face and looked at the Beast Soul Warrior, who was trembling in front of him, before opening his mouth wide and swallowing the Beast Soul Warrior.

“What!!!”

Seeing You Chun’s bloody mouth and the indifferent expressions of the people around him, Bai Qi’s heart trembled, and Jerry quietly said-

“The rules of the Tribe’s Life or Death duel, the loser must be eaten by their own master.”

“Is that so…”

Bai Qi exhaled heavily. When he looked at You Chun again, his gaze had returned to normal.

Failure meant death. In some ways, it wasn’t much different from the way they dealt with ferocious beasts.

It’s just that the roles were reversed.

“Beta, make up an excuse to shake him off, we can’t stay here for long.”

Bai Qi didn’t have any kind-hearted intentions to eradicate evil ferocious beasts. He was now in enemy territory, and his top priority was to leave as soon as possible.

After all, he couldn’t guarantee when this group of wolf beasts would recognize him.

Awoo, awoo!

(Beta understands!)

Beta had also recognized the problem. For once, he didn’t act flippantly. After collecting his thoughts, he started talking nonsense.

“You Bai, you’re going back to rest? That’s true, training so hard, you really do need to rest well.”

You Chun was not affected by the failure of his Beast Soul Warrior and was still very enthusiastic. He said, “We have some tasks to do, so we’ll catch up with you later.”

Awoo, awoo!

(No problem!)

Beta nodded repeatedly, about to leave with Bai Qi when You Mink suddenly spoke, “Wait a minute, You Bai, I feel that it’s not enough with just me and You Chun. Why don’t you come with us?”

Awoo, awoo?

(Together?)

Beta unconsciously looked at Bai Qi, wanting to ask for his opinion.

“What, is there a problem?”

You Mink smiled, leaned in close to Beta and asked.

Awoo, awoo!

(Of course not!)
