The terrified Husky watched as the Ice Flower stopped just in front of it, freezing its tears in the cold atmosphere.
Awooo~
The Husky trembled and hunkered down, motionless. Meanwhile, Bai Qi looked excited as he commanded Alpha to use the technique several times. The expansive courtyard quickly filled with an icy floral aura, its chill dispersing the summer heat completely.
“Everywhere the Ice Sword touches can be frozen, and it can spread within a certain range. This skill is much stronger than I had thought.”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, and let Alpha proceed with showcasing the Ice Armor.
Alpha summoned the Ice Armor rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a full set had formed.
“This armor… Why does it look familiar?”
Bai Qi carefully examined it, quickly recognizing that despite its rough appearance, it was identical to the soldier’s armor he’d seen in the ‘Legend of the Emperor’ film he’d watched a few days ago out of boredom.
“Alpha, can you change the shape of this armor?”
Crackle crackle.
(It seems like I can.)
“What about this Ice Sword?”
!!..
(It seems doable.)
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He scrambled back into the house, pulling out a pen and paper and began sketching feverishly. Soon, the iconic equipment set of a classic boss from a game called Shankou Mountain in Bai Qi’s previous life was fully portrayed on paper.
As a future weapons master, Bai Qi’s drawing skills were naturally excellent. His representation of the detailed equipment set truly embodied its essence despite some lack of precision.
“Alpha, try to make the Ice Armor and Ice Sword based on this.”
Bai Qi placed the design before Alpha, who carefully examined it before slowly transforming the armor worn on his body.
Because of the added texture, the speed at which Alpha formed the armor was significantly slower than before. Nonetheless, when the last piece, Frost Sorrow, was shaped into the crown piece, Bai Qi was filled with praise.
The Andulu Beast wasn’t formed yet, but the Witch Ghoul King had already been created.
Fighting ability aside, just this look alone was enough to scare a bunch of enemies to death.
After all, who would’ve guessed that such a fearsomely stylish set of armor would hide a skeleton beneath it?
It seemed that the Beast Master Association also held some modeling competitions for pets. If Alpha entered the competition with this model, he was guaranteed to sweep the competition.
Maintaining such a finely detailed form seemed to take a significant toll on Alpha. It started to crack after just a short time.
The Ice Armor was still at a beginner level. To maintain this high level of precision required a great amount of energy.
“Alpha, remove the Ice Armor.”
Bai Qi gave the order, and Alpha immediately removed the armor. However, he retained the beloved Ice Sword.
Classics were classics, no matter where. Once Alpha had leveled up his skills, Bai Qi was determined to have Alpha wear the full equipment set into battle.
After all, every team needs a Witch Ghoul King…
Since Alpha couldn’t maintain the detailed armor, Bai Qi designed another set for him. Except for a helmet, everything else was kept as simple as possible to ensure movement efficiency.
Though Alpha’s body had enlarged, his speed advantage was still present. Too heavy of armor could have the opposite effect.
Furthermore, as a member of the Undead Clan, Alpha’s only weak point was the Fire of Soul in his head. The Ice Armor was mainly just to annoy the enemy.
Imagine an enemy finally breaking through Alpha’s armor, only to find nothing inside but bones and to receive frostbite damage.
Even better, if an enemy finally managed to break one of Alpha’s bones, it would quickly reshape itself, rendering all of their efforts in vain.
Wouldn’t that be frustrating?
Having tested the two new skills, Bai Qi then moved on to testing his basic attacks.
Previously, due to Alpha’s special nature, he had mainly used guerrilla tactics. But now, with his increased size, Alpha had essentially transformed from an assassin into a swordsman, which Bai Qi naturally wanted to observe carefully.
Bai Qi searched all around until he finally set his target on a false mountain rock in the courtyard.
“Alpha, don’t use a skill, attack that false mountain and see.”
Clatter, clatter.
Alpha nodded, his hands gripped the filial piety sword firmly. With a heavy stomp of his feet, his towering body turned into a stream of light and disappeared. The false mountain, too, broke apart in response.
Bai Qi ran to the front of the false mountain and saw the place where the mountain had split was incredibly smooth, already covered with a thin layer of frost.
The power of a regular is not bad either. Ice Shadow Swordsman, indeed powerful.
Satisfaction once again appeared on Bai Qi’s face. Images of various ice clan combinations constantly appeared in his mind as he studied them with Alpha.
“You first… then… finally…”
Seeing Bai Qi’s excited face, the Husky, still trapped in the ice flower, yawned out of boredom, licked an ice flower, and fell asleep.
(Foolish humans…)
…
Lamentation Tower.
The three days of testing ended quickly, and the top twenty apprentice Beast Masters were gathered around the base of the Lamentation Tower, watching the constantly flickering runes of the fifth floor and discussing amongst themselves.
“Wang Lin, two stages.”
“Zhang Dafan, one stage.”
“Ye Fan, three stages.”
“Lu Yuan, three stages.”
“Gao Cheng, four stages…”
Although all of them had passed the exam and the first three stages, they were all beaten up and out upon encountering the ten Ice Ghosts of the fourth stage.
After all, hardly anyone could stand up to the Blizzard unleashed by ten Ice Ghosts working together.
“So this is the strength of the students in the urban area?”
Lu Yuan looked deeply at Gao Cheng, who was comforting his Fire Armor Scorpion, his eyes full of seriousness.
He specifically came to Gusu City to seize the first piece of the pie in the undead craze hitting Gusu City.
The Undead Legendary Son studying in Gusu City was bound to enhance the city’s investment in training undead Beast Masters. So long as he showed enough strength and talent, he would surely attract the attention of the higher-ups.
And this secret Realm Tower was the best opportunity given to him by the heavens above.
But who could think that a secret tower accessible only by apprentice Beast Masters would be so perverted? Even after giving it his all, he failed to pass the fourth floor.
But luckily, besides Gao Cheng, who had passed the fourth floor, only two others were still challenging the fifth floor; all others had been defeated already.
With this in mind, he would rank at least fourth in this secret space exam and surely catch the attention of the Beast Master Association.
Whoosh.
Just then, a figure appeared from the entrance of the secret tower. Gao Cheng, who had been comforting his Fire Armor Scorpion, went up to meet it.
“Han Wei, how did it go?”
The thin young man named Han Wei shook his head and said, “Although my Wind Demon Wolf is fast enough, the Ice Ghost Guards of the fifth floor cooperated too well; one minor mistake and I lost.”
Gao Cheng slapped Han Wei on the shoulder and said, “It’s fine, at least you were narrowly defeated. I was kicked out directly.”
Han Wei shrugged indifferently and said, “I don’t care, after all, I was forced to come by my old man. This grade is acceptable.”
With that, Han Wei glanced in the direction of the fifth floor and said, “But I guess the fifth floor shouldn’t be a problem for Xia Xuan. After all, his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus is equipped with many group attack weapons.”
