Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Just Basic Moves

Watching as Alpha drove the Earthshaking Bull Demon to continual retreat, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction,
Using repulsive force to shoot finger bones as bullets, adding a dose of Withering Breath to ensure damage, Alpha’s machine gun form truly performed well.
It was a pity that the recoil was so great that it could only anchor itself to the ground, losing Alpha’s best mobility. If the attack didn’t work, it was done for.
“I suddenly believe that you pioneered this whole Rune Evolution thing. Normal people wouldn’t come up with this,”
Zhou Yan looked at the Earthshaking Bull Demon, which was utterly defenseless, and gave Bai Qi a thumb up.
“Hehe…”
What did she mean by ‘normal people wouldn’t think of this’? Was it polite to say that?
Bai Qi chuckled lightly, but his gaze remained locked on the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
Although the Withering Machine Gun’s attack was powerful, it consumed a lot. It was only because Alpha’s Energy Value was far beyond the same Stage; otherwise, it could not withstand such consumption.
But the most crucial point was, the Earthshaking Bull Demon hadn’t yet used its Super Skill.
As a qualitative change in the Bloodline Level, Lord-level Creatures could master Super Skills. Some had many, while others had few, but at least everyone had one.
So far, the Earthshaking Bull Demon hadn’t used its Super Skill, so all advantages were futile.
As expected, after being constantly pushed back by the Withering Machine Gun into a corner, the Earthshaking Bull Demon finally couldn’t bear it any longer, bracing the Withering bullets and roaring up to the sky.
“Watch out, it’s about to unleash its Super Skill!”
Seeing this, Zhou Yan once again entered her avatar state, simultaneously summoning her Ghost Flame Pegasus to charge up. Meanwhile, Alpha increased the frequency of its attacks, aiming to defeat the Earthshaking Bull Demon in one fell swoop.
But the Earthshaking Bull Demon was incredibly resilient. It didn’t stop its actions even as its flesh and blood were corroded within its earthy armor, and you could see the bones inside. All its power was concentrated on the horns on top of its head.
A small black ball slowly formed, then slowly flew into the sky. It emitted a formidable gravitational force, pulling Zhou Yan and Alpha toward it.
Meanwhile, the buildings around the arena were also affected by this gravitational force, being drawn towards the black ball, causing significant interference for them.
“Holy cow, is it invoking Gravity Control? Where’s your insect-repelling talisman!”
Seeing the Earthshaking Bull Demon even using this all too familiar yet new technique, Bai Qi was astonished.
Just a high-grade Lord, and it already mastered one of the four fundamental forces, gravity! It was even more outrageous than Alpha’s Withering Power!
I have to confiscate those horns!
Bai Qi wiped the saliva on the corner of his mouth and gave Alpha an instruction. Alpha immediately got it, countless bones spread out from under the crystal base, clutching the ground firmly. Meanwhile, it withdrew the Withering Machine Gun and slowly formed a sniper rifle on its shoulder.
“Damn, first it was a machine gun, now it’s a sniper rifle. Is your pet from the Undead Department or the Mechanical Engineering Department, huh?!”
Seeing this while struggling to resist the black ball’s gravity, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but grumble. Bai Qi simply shrugged, saying, “Sister Zhou, could you hold off the Earthshaking Bull Demon for a bit? I need some time.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan paused, then nodded. She directed the Ghost Flame Pegasus to resist gravity while gathering all its flames on the lance, and stabbed at the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
“Meteor Storm!”
Countless spear shadows appeared from Zhou Yan’s reach, like meteors bombing directly on the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
Seeing this, the Earthshaking Bull Demon had no choice but to increase the gravity of the black ball. It tried to distort Zhou Yan’s offensive and conjured a dirt wall to counter the attack.
“Alpha, are you ready?”
Clacking noise.
(Soon)
A bullet, entirely condensed from Withering Breath, took shape in Alpha’s hand. Alpha condensed a thin crystal barrier around it as a shell and then loaded it into the sniper rifle.
“Good! Fire!”
Bai Qi waved his hand, and Alpha timely activated the Rune. All its energy gradually gathered towards the sniper rifle, and as the Control Object Rune shone to its limits, the Withering bullet disappeared in a blink of an eye, reappearing on the wall behind the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
On top of the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s head, you could vaguely see a tiny bloody hole.
One-shot kill!
Facing a bullet made of Alpha’s concentrated energy, the defense of the Earthshaking Bull Demon was rendered completely useless. Its brain was shattered, its once-red eyes gradually lost vitality, its towering body slowly fell, and the gravitational ball atop its head dissipated gradually.
“So… that works too!”
Seeing Bai Qi neatly kill the Earthshaking Bull Demon in one shot, Zhou Yan was so surprised she couldn’t close her mouth.
A high-grade Lord, Four Stage level, was just killed by a Second Stage Lord in one fell swoop?
Erm, not worth mentioning.
Seeing the shocked look on Zhou Yan’s face, even the stable Bai Qi couldn’t help feeling smug.
To defeat a Ferocious Beast of two stages above, Alpha’s record could be boasted about for a long time.
But it’d be challenging to reproduce this feat. The opponent must remain immobile, and there must be a strong lure to distract the opponent. Plus, it consumed all of Alpha’s Energy Value.
Looking at Alpha, now so weak it couldn’t even maintain its crystal armor, if the shot had missed before, it would’ve been slaughtered.
Naturally, Zhou Yan understood this as well. But after seeing the destructive power of Alpha’s sniper shot, she couldn’t help touching her forehead.
Luckily, it’s on our side…
Bai Qi, I am sure now. If anyone else regards you as a Second Stage Beast
Master, they’ll regret it for the rest of their lives.”
Zhou Yan patted Bai Qi’s shoulder and said seriously, “However, that move you used wasn’t meant to deal with Beast Masters, was it?”
Bai Qi replied sternly, “How could it be? Do I look like that kind of person?”
Yes! Very much so!
Who in their right mind would research this kind of thing.
Zhou Yan silently criticized Bai Qi for a while before casting his eyes on the
Earthshaking Bull Demon in the ring.
Even though it had only been shot through the head, the Earthshaking Bull Demon looked as if it had been dead for many years, its body gradually drying up, with only the pair of horns and skin still normal.
“The instructor hasn’t announced the result yet, hurry up and dissect this guy.” Hearing Zhou Yan’s words, Bai Qi immediately came to his senses. Looking at Alpha, which had completely lost its ability to move, he could only seek help from Zhou Yan.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Zhou Yan swung his spear, danced around the Earthshaking Bull Demon, and soon cut off the demon’s skin. As for the two horns, they had already fallen off on their own before Zhou Yan could take action.
Because the Withering Power had exploded inside its brain, the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s head looked normal from the outside, but inside it had almost completely rotted due to the Withering Power. If it weren’t for the horns, which had concentrated the essence of the Earthshaking Bull Demon, they would have probably met the same fate.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan could only give up on the rest of the Earthshaking Bull
Demon and threw the skin and horns in front of Bai Qi.
‘You killed the Earthshaking Bull Demon, so according to the rules, all these materials are yours,” he said.
The demon’s skin has good defense, but it’s only of Rare grade. However, those horns are quite good, since they gathered all the energy before death, reaching Epic grade.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, but he hesitated when he reached out to take them.
“Sister Zhou, you held off the Earthshaking Bull Demon just now, it’s not quite right for me to take all of it.”
Seeing Bai Qi acting this way, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and said, “If you really want to give it to me, why don’t you start by letting go of your hand?”
Bai Qi, feeling disappointed, released his hands which were already on the horns and said, “Then Sister Zhou, you first.”
Zhou Yan patted Bai Qi’s shoulder and said, “This stuff is useless to me. The meat of the Earthshaking Bull Demon would have been more useful to me, but it’s a pity that it’s all rotten.”
Zhou Yan looked regretfully at the body of the Earthshaking Bull Demon, which had started to rot, and sighed.
“Meat?”
Bai Qi also realized, feeling a bit regretful.
The flesh and blood of a High-grade Lord-level creature must be more nourishing than the meat of the Wood Armor Wild Boar.
By then, having steak, sirloin, dried beef, and not needing to buy supplements would be a breeze.
Mistake, mistake. It looked like he couldn’t let Alpha use this move on edible ferocious beasts in the future.
Or perhaps, cut the losses in time would also do.
Perhaps unable to bear with their behaviour, Zhang Shan sent both of them out without any warning.
When they returned to the gathering hall, the other Beast Masters had all returned. They were all dumbfoundedly watching the screen.
Even though there was a Four Stage Beast Master leading the team, Bai Qi was just a Second Stage Beast Master, who somehow managed to defeat a High-grade Lord of the fourth stage. Are you sure you didn’t hide your level?!
The training is over. The ones who passed are Bai Qi and Zhou Yan.”
Zhang Shan coldly glanced at the Beast Masters present and announced the result of this training.
“The training time for the afternoon will be notified later. All of you return to your dormitory and wait for the news.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shan quickly left while Luo Xiang gave
Bai Qi a thumb up and quickly followed.
“I won this time. When will you make good on our bet?”
“I have to sort out the mission data. Let’s do it another day.”
“You cheapskate, I knew you would cheat!”
With the departure of both instructors, the Beast Masters no longer concealed their emotions and turned their curious eyes to Bai Qi.
“Bai Qi, congratulations on becoming a big star-”
Seeing the converging gazes of the surrounding people, Zhou Yan chuckled and took Bai Qiucha, who was intending to ask Bai Qi, and walked outside.
“A’Cha, accompany me to fight one more time, I wasn’t satisfied earlier!”
“I think Sister Yan, you can try fighting Bai Qi…”
“You think I’m stupid, what if I get a headshot?”
The two left while arguing, and after taking a few glances at Bai Qi, Lu Qing also turned and left.
Now she was beginning to believe that the Rune evolution was researched by Bai Qi.
After all, probably only Bai Qi could transform the Undead Department to this extent, but she wondered what Bai Chuanqi would think when he saw this? Everyone knew about the grudges between Bai Chuanqi and the Mechanical Legend..
