Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Tearing Ferocious Beasts Apart With Bare Hands Isn’t A Dream?
Translator: 549690339
Watching the Beast Masters around him lose balance due to the sudden change in gravity, Bai Qi took out a steel ball from his secret realm and casually threw it to roughly judge the gravity difference here.
“Almost double the gravity, huh…”
Bai Qi moved his body around, slowly adapting to the gravity here. Meanwhile, individuals like Bai Qiucha, Zhou Yan, and some other Four Stage Beast Masters had already taken the lead after a brief pause.
Being Four Stage Beast Masters, their physical quality was naturally much better compared to that of the Third Stage Beast Masters. Especially for someone like Zhou Yan, who had been physically training since a young age, this level of gravity difference was almost negligible.
However, after a brief adaptation period, Bai Qi quickly adjusted his pace and kept up with the Four Stage Beast Masters, leaving the Third Stage Beast Masters gaping in surprise.
Was this guy really a Second Stage Beast Master?
“Hey, I thought you’d be weak like those nerds. Didn’t expect you to be in such good shape. How about we spar sometime?”
Seeing that Bai Qi was swiftly following them, Zhou Yan’s interest in Bai Qi piqued.
“Eh, let’s not. I’m only at the second stage, I can’t hold up in a fight.”
Bai Qi immediately shook his head at Zhou Yan’s proposition, deciding that it was better not to provoke a powerful face who had been chasing after and beating Bai Qiucha for over a decade.
“Fair enough, Bai Qi, make sure to keep at it. I’ll come and find you once you’re at the third stage.”
Zhou Yan nodded, looked at the group of Third Stage Beast Masters catching up from behind, and suddenly accelerated to catch up with Leng Feifei.
Although Leng Feifei was leading, she always maintained a fixed distance from the first batch of students. Now that Zhou Yan had sped up, Leng Feifei1 s speed also increased, making the Beast Masters behind her grumble in dismay.
They were Beast Masters, not warriors, and they had spent almost all their time improving their spirit power. They couldn’t handle Leng Feifei’s torment with just the physical strength buff their pets provided.
However, grumbling aside, these young Beast Masters gritted their teeth and pursued.
Aside from their individual talents, they were chosen for specialized training because of their mental aptitudes. More importantly, they all shared a common goal.
Joining the Six Tower!
Watching the Beast Masters behind him gritting their teeth and pressing on, Bai Qi once again recognized the benefits the Evolution Egg granted him.
A physique that surpasses ordinary Beast Masters!
If he, at only the Second stage, was already catching up with the physicality of the Four Stage Beast Masters, how terrifying would his physical strength be once he became a legend?
Perhaps, tearing ferocious beasts apart with his bare hands wasn’t just a dream?!
Thinking of that, Bai Qi was suddenly filled with excitement. A small goal gradually formed in his heart.
Become a Legendary Beast Master!
Due to the special magnetic field in this secret realm, the timing devices of all the Beast Masters were practically useless, with most of them unaware of how long they had been running. Sensibly, they just continued to move forward after the group in front of them.
At the same time, the young Beast Masters who had entered the passage at the same time were gradually separating.
The leading group was still headed by Four Stage Beast Masters like Zhou Yan, although a few Third Stage Beast Masters, who had obviously undergone relevant training, had slowly joined in.
The second group was composed mostly of Third Stage Beast Masters who were keeping pace with the first group as their differences weren’t that big.
As for the third group, the difference was quite significant.
In this deep and seemingly endless tunnel, those with relatively weak physical constitutions gradually felt an additional burden. As the gap between them and the lead group increased, this burden also grew until they ultimately collapsed.
“I’m done, I quit!”
Finally, a few Beast Masters could no longer bear the strain and they fell to the ground after shouting their intention to quit. This reaction gradually spread among the other Beast Masters around them.
As Bai Qi heard sporadic shrieks from behind and noticed that the tunnel in front of him still didn’t seem to have an end, he couldn’t help but ask Bai Qiucha, “How long do we have to keep running?”
Bai Qiucha shook her head, saying, “I’m not sure either, but I guess we may have to keep running for a while.”
Although the first group only had seven or eight people, the second group still had a considerable number of people.
Based on his understanding of Leng Feifei, there was no way she would end the test so easily.
“Is that so?”
Bai Qi nodded in understanding, glanced at Gu Shan, who was running out of breath between the first and second groups, and took out a bottle of God’s Water, asking, “Want some?”
Gu Shan looked startled and then shookhis head, stating, “Thanks, but I can handle it.”
“Alright then.”
Bai Qi shrugged at Gu Shan’s response. Gu Shan, being one of the only two Second Stage Beast Masters in this training camp, had managed to stay close behind the first group, which greatly surprised Bai Qi.
Was it because of the dual talents?
Just like how Beast pets would use up energy values when casting skills, Beast Masters would also consume physical strength when making use of their talents.
Generally, the higher the quality of the talent, the more physical strength it consumed. Zhang Kai’s Silent Talent, for instance, demanded an exceedingly high level of physical stamina. Otherwise, if Zhang Kai had his talent active throughout, there wouldn’t be any competition for others.
As for a dual-talent user like Gu Shan, without enough physical strength, he would probably collapse from exhaustion just by activating both this talents.
So, that might also be the reason why Leng Feifei took them for an extended run today.
As a crucial component of combat, a Beast Master’s ability to maintain their talent greatly influenced battle outcomes, and increasing their stamina only had advantages, not disadvantages.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi didn’t feel rushed anymore and took a sip from the God’s Water.
It wasn’t that he was running out of energy, itwas just that his mouth felt a bit lonely.
Seeing Bai Qi like this, Lu Qing, who also maintained a leading position, sniffed and said, “Is this God’s Water?”
She even vocalized the scent, her nose almost as good as Beta’s.
Bai Qi looked at Lu Qing with some astonishment and nodded.
“As a researcher, one should have a healthy physique. Bodies maintained through supplements aren’t useful.”
Lu Qing pushed his glasses, quickened his pace, passed Bai Qi, and joined Zhou Yan at the forefront.
“Was I just mocked?”
Bai Qi looked at Lu Qing somewhat blankly while Bai Qiucha tugged at the corner of her mouth with a face full of schadenfreude.
Being targeted by a disciple of the Tower of Knowledge, Bai Qi’s upcoming days might not be so easy.
“That’s the Bai Qi Luo Xiang keeps mentioning, interesting…”
As the group spoke, their conversation escaped Leng Feifei’s attention. As she glanced back at the troops behind her, a dangerous glint suddenly flashed in Leng Feifei’s eyes.
“So, he still has time to flirt. Seems like mere gravity is too laid-back.”
No sooner had her words fallen than the previously silent tunnel with only the sounds of footsteps emitted sounds of shifting stones, accompanied by the buzz of wings from behind.
“These are Bewitching Poison Bees!”
[Name]: Bewitching Poison Bees
[Nature]: Toxin System, Insect System
[Growth Level]: Low-level Elite
The poison of the Bewitching Poison Bees was very special. It wouldn’t cause any real damage to opponents, but instead induced all sorts of strange illusions.
If one was not mentally strong enough, they would easily expose their true thoughts.
“I want to become the number one in Songlin!”
“Wu wu wu… Mom, I’m afraid of the dark!”
“A Mao, why did you abandon me? Didn’t we agree to be brothers?”
The Bewitching Poison Bees appeared suddenly, and many Beast Masters were affected before they even had the chance to react, turning the lifeless tunnel into a lively spectacle.
“Who would have thought, these people have a lot of drama in them…”
Watching the soap-opera-like scene behind him, Bai Qi shivered. He was ready to summon his spirit beast at any moment.
There were too many Bewitching Poison Bees, and he wasn’t sure if he could withstand an attack.
If he ended up like these guys, he wouldn’t have the face to go out.
It wasn’t only Bai Qi who thought this way. A few slower runners had already activated the Curse Mark, preparing to summon their spirit beasts.
“A friendly reminder: unless the teacher actively tells you to summon the Beast Control, it’s best not to rely on Beast Control to help. Otherwise…”
Before she could finish her sentence, several Beast Masters from the back had summoned their spirit beasts to fend off the Bewitching Poison Bees, but before they could do anything, a flash of light came from behind Leng Feifei and knocked down those spirit beasts.
“I’ve said, today’s training focus is running, not beast duels. If anyone else summons Beast Control for defense in this tunnel, I’ll count them as disqualified immediately.”
Leng Feifei gave a look behind her, the light returned to her side, revealing a fully-armed ghost.
“A Soul Race spirit beast?”
Bai Qi was a little surprised. Seeing Leng Feifei’s absurd physique, he thought she was just like Wen Ruoshui, both being Combat System Beast Masters. He didn’t expect her to have a Soul Race spirit beast.
“Aunt Leng’s Soul of the General isn’t a common Soul Race creature.”
Seeing Bai Qi’s expression, Bai Qiucha was quick to enlighten him. But before she could say more, at the end of the tunnel where it used to stretch into the distance, a light suddenly appeared.
Is it over?!
The Beast Masters instantly saw hope, bursting into a full sprint, finally outrunning the Bewitching Poison Bees.
The Bewitching Poison Bees didn’t chase them any further and instead targeted the Beast Masters who fell behind.
However, Bai Qi and the other Beast Masters who made it out of the tunnel had no sympathy or ridicule for those unlucky ones, their attention was completely focused on the sight before them.
Upon exiting the tunnel, a massive rainforest appeared before Bai Qi. The foggy forest was so dense that he couldn’t see what was inside.
A chasm separated the tunnel and the rainforest, and only one iron rope connected them across the chasm.
This can’t be their idea to make them climb the rope. So cliche!
Bai Qi complained to himself while Leng Feifei had already jumped onto the rope, running towards the other end without looking back.
Well, it looks like that’s the case…
