Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 496: Chapter 491: Isn’t This How Practical Lessons Are Supposed to Be Conducted?

Finally, Alpha in the center of the battlefield stirred, but instead of beginning the class as everyone anticipated, he took a step back and lowered his head quietly.

Simultaneously, a ripple appeared in the space in front of Alpha, and a huge black dragon, about ten meters long, emerged from the ripple.

And atop the dragon’s head stood Bai Qi.

“Good lord, what an entrance! Why does he have to be so cool?”

“An Eastern Dragon? Are there still Eastern Dragon pets around?”

“Idiot, that Eastern Dragon was just teaching our biology class.”

“2333… I’m envious of you biological department folks.”

…

The crowd was in an uproar, while Bai Qi scratched his head in frustration, saying, “The layout of this practical combat department is so confusing, I couldn’t even find the entrance.”

“You’ll get used to it if you come a few more times.”

Bai Qiucha jumped down from Delta with a smile, looking at the tightly packed crowd around her and said somewhat helplessly, “It seems we came too late.”

The Beast Control Practical Combat Department was always very popular, so it had the largest area in Star Mechanics Academy, but it seemed like even that was not enough now.

“No problem, you guys can just assist me.”

Bai Qi grinned, he had initially planned to call a few students up for Alpha to beat up, to let them understand the dangers of the outside world. Now with some readily available, he couldn’t let them pass.

“I knew nothing good would come from coming in with you, Bai Qi.”

Bai Yuxiao gave a sigh of resignation, while Bai Qiucha looked completely calm without any discomfort.

After all, even if it wasn’t Bai Qi teaching, he was often called up by various teachers to assist. He was used to this.

“Bai Qi, how do you want us to help you?”

Bai Qiucha asked, looking at Bai Qi.

“Nothing much, just defend yourself.”

Bai Qi gave a lopsided smile. Alpha and Delta immediately understood and started moving.

Alpha suddenly drew the Sword of Death, a dead-silent aura erupted, enveloping all the Beast Masters in the battlefield.

“What is he trying to do?”

Many Beast Masters looked puzzled, while Bai Qiucha and others who frequently executed external missions and obtained the Beast Master license seemed to understand what was happening. They instinctively summoned their pets to defend.

Sure enough, with Alpha’s actions, the Seven Sword Riders appeared out of nowhere and surprisingly charged at the crowd!

“Good lord, has Bai Qi gone mad!”

“Damn it, he must be an imposter. He’s probably a Beast Soul Warrior from the tribe!”

“Stop talking and run!”

Most people started to dash in all directions. Some who were near the door used all their strength to dash to the door, intending to escape.

Perhaps, this was the first time they felt fortunate for being late.

Just as they put their hands on the door handle, the surrounding space suddenly shook and the door was blocked by an invisible wall.

Not only that, all the doors, windows, and even walls of this combat room were covered with a sturdy space barrier, completely blocking everyone’s escape route.

“Damn it, what the hell does he want?”

Everyone was cursing, and some advanced Beast Masters even directly summoned their own pets to attack the Seven Swords.

However, most of the Beast Masters present were low-order second and third stage Beast Masters. They were not a match for the Seven Swords at all and were easily knocked down, their fate unknown.

“Bai Qi, have you gone mad?”

Watching the surrounding chaos, Bai Yuxiao couldn’t help but gawk. Just as he was going to ask Bai Qi, he saw Alpha swinging the Sword of Death, attacking them.

“Good lord, Bai Qi, have you gone mad?”

Bai Yuxiao immediately activated his Dematerialization Talent for defense and summoned the ghost dragon to combat, but Alpha didn’t attack him again. Instead, he turned his attention to Gu Shan and others.

“What’s going on…?”

Bai Yuxiao was somewhat puzzled, but after seeing the actions of the Seven Swords, he understood immediately.

Whether it was the Seven Swords or Alpha, they only attacked each person once, regardless of the outcome, they didn’t attack again.

From that, it was obvious what Bai Qi was doing: a practical combat simulation class.

“However, even for practical combat lessons, this seems a bit too intense.”

Bai Yuxiao looked around. The ground was littered with Beast Masters and their pets, all injured from the attacks of the seven swords. Those in the know understood that it was a class, but those who didn’t might think a Undead Catastrophe had struck.

“Fascinating. No wonder my old man warned me about dealing with Bai Qi without any detours,” Xia Ya, who had taken shelter behind Xia Xuan’s Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, chuckled, “Lao San, you got no grievances losing to him.”

“I don’t need you to tell me that.” Xia Xuan rolled his eyes. Everyone knew it was not unjust to lose to a freak like Bai Qi. But was there really a need to stress it so much?

Soon, after dashing a round among the Beast Masters, the seven swords returned to Bai Qi’s side. An obvious divide appeared among the students who had come for the lesson.

Most Beast Masters had been struck down by the seven swords before they could summon their pets, either poisoned or burned, expressing their pain with moaning cries.

Among the remaining Beast Masters, some had attempted to summon their pets to fight back after realizing that escape was futile, but their reactions were slightly late, resulting in injuries to both them and their respective pets.

Only a tiny fraction had summoned their pets into combat status in the split second when Alpha had exhibited its aura. The injuries of these Beast Masters were also the least severe.

Bai Qi swept a glance around, ignoring the angry stares from his peers. “Everyone, think about this. If I had been a spy from the tribes, what do you suppose would have been your fate today?”

As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, all Beast Masters—previously holding grudges against him—were stunned. And, the Beast Masters who had successfully defended promptly wore expressions of realization, with a trace of excitement bubbling in their hearts.

This was a real combat lesson!

“Do you think that because I am your teacher, I wouldn’t harm you?”

Bai Qi paused, then continued. “Indeed, I won’t harm you, but judging from your injuries right now, you would still die if there is no one to rescue you.”

Bai Qi was not joking—although the seven swords had held back, they still controlled the injuries to a superb degree.

The injuries wouldn’t be lethal in the short run, but they were exceedingly painful—the kind of pain they would remember for their entire lives.

“If you act swiftly, there might be a chance for recovery right now. But if I were indeed the enemy, would you have that chance?”

“But we are mostly second and third stage Beast Masters. How is it possible for us to face this situation!” A severely injured student suddenly roared, looking at Bai Qi with a look of injustice.

Although he was not a genius, he had always performed well. The combat teachers had given him much praise. However, Bai Qi had moved too fast this time; he had not had time to react before being stabbed by one of the seven swords.

On hearing this, Bai Qi turned cold. Alpha from behind him exuded a chilly killing aura, causing the student’s face to turn pale, almost fainting with shock.

“What gave you the illusion that the enemy wouldn’t attack the second and third stage Beast Masters?”

With a stern face, Bai Qi looked around. “I can tell you this: if I were from the tribes, I would definitely send people to eliminate you—the second and third stage Beast Masters—from the rear, right after the frontal war begins.”

“Perhaps your roles on the frontal battlefield are insignificant, but if you are eliminated, the future of humanity would come to a complete end.”

“Moreover, if a war really breaks out, not just you second and third stage Beast Masters, but even the trainee Beast Masters wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of entering the battlefield.”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the Beast Masters who were still somewhat angered gradually calmed down and started to reflect on their actions. Some people with a faster understanding summoned their pets and began to aid in healing around them.

“Like all of you, I grew up in an era of peace, but I’ve always understood one thing very clearly—all are equals in the face of death, regardless of your power, age, or family background.”

“So, if you don’t want to die in the wild, or unexpectedly in a war sometime, it’s best to always stay vigilant. Do you understand?”

Having finished speaking, Bai Qi patted Delta next to him. Delta immediately transported all the Beast Masters, who had made the correct judgments during the lesson, to its side.

“These are the people who made the right response in this lesson. Perhaps their levels aren’t the highest, but I can confidently say that they will definitely live longer than most of you.”

Bai Qi turned to the few people. “Remember your response today. You’ll need it in the future.”

“Thank you, Master Bai Qi!”

Hearing Bai Qi’s praise, they excitedly forgot that Bai Qi was still a peer. The spectators below were filled with envy.

“Bai Qi, those guys down there might really be dying. Are you sure you don’t want to do something about it?”

At this point, Bai Yuxiao couldn’t help but prod Bai Qi’s shoulder. “Even if this is a combat class, aren’t you being a bit too harsh?”

“Uh…too harsh? Isn’t this how combat classes are supposed to be?”

Bai Qi, being caught off guard, promptly summoned Gamma, which instantly split into numerous sub-units that landed on everyone, healing their injuries.

Soon, all the injuries on the Beast Masters disappeared and they looked just as they had before the lesson.

Class was class, but he couldn’t really let them keep their injuries. If their parents reported this later on, it would be quite troublesome.

“Alright, I presume all of you understand what I mean.”

Seeing everyone return to their places and sitting down quietly, Bai Qi nodded contentedly. “Let me make it clear in advance that during subsequent classes, I might initiate attacks at any time, and I assure you, they will be harsher than today’s. So, students who wish to continue attending my lectures, please be mentally prepared.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“So, is there anyone who wants to walk out?”
