Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 69 Skeleton Manipulation

Fortunately, Alpha didn't use too much force, and Bai Qiucha quickly woke up. She touched the back of her head, which was a little swollen, and stared blankly into space.

Bai Qi walked somewhat embarrassedly to Bai Qiucha's side. Looking at the group of butlers and servants glaring at him, he gave an awkward smile and said, "Well, my pet beast evolved from a skeleton soldier, so it might have some strange attack habits. Are you alright?"

Bai Qiucha pushed away the towel offered by the butler, wiped her face, and said, "I'm fine. It was indeed my carelessness this time."

It's good that nothing happened. If something had happened, Bai Qi doubted whether he would have been able to walk out of this door today.

Bai Qi glanced at the several furious female servants around him and felt a chill run down his spine.

This shouldn't get posted online, otherwise I'll only be able to go out at noon from now on...

"Now I understand why Dad is paying attention to you; the pet you've raised is indeed very strong."

Bai Qiucha glanced at the nick on the dragon bone longsword and said, "But your level is too low, the fight wasn't satisfying. Once you reach level three, we'll have another match, and everyone will go all out!"

Uh, I've only been at level two for a few days, and you're already pushing me to level three? You really think highly of me.

However, Bai Qi couldn't refuse such a warm invitation. After chatting with Bai Qiucha for a while, he returned home with the help of the housekeeper.

"Thank you for your help. I'll get off here."

"OK."

The butler nodded, stopped the car, and opened the door for Bai Qi, making Bai Qi feel somewhat flattered.

Old Qin seemed to have said that the Bai family was an old and established family in the association, and it seems that's true.

The butler turned to the side and said, "Then, Young Master Bai, I won't see you off any further."

"Um, you can just call me Bai Qi."

Upon hearing the butler's address to him, Bai Qi felt inwardly that he couldn't accept such a title.

"You are the young master's friend. If you have free time in the future, you can come and chat with our young master more often."

Um, it seems you've got something wrong?

"That's not a good idea."

Having already slew the skeletal dragon, and considering the attitude of the female servants towards him today, Bai Qi didn't really want to have much to do with Bai Qiucha.

There's no benefit to riding the coattails of trending topics.

"Young Master doesn't have many friends, and it's even rarer for someone like you to dare to disregard the Master's legendary title. I'm very pleased that Young Master has made a friend like you, so you don't need to be polite at all."

This isn't about being polite; I just want to live a couple more years. And is what you're saying a compliment?

Bai Qi inwardly complained, but he couldn't refuse the butler's request, so he could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that Bai Qi agreed, the butler smiled and then drove away.

"It seems that even the eldest son of this family isn't having an easy time."

Bai Qi shrugged, tossed the husky into the studio to work on the new encyclopedia, then went back to his room to lie down, intending to use the Evolution Egg on Alpha.

Although Alpha defeated Bai Qiucha with a surprise attack, it also suffered some damage, with faint burn marks still visible on its broken bones.

"I hope it won't leave any lasting effects."

Bai Qi's spirit connected with the Evolution Egg, but he suddenly felt his physical strength being rapidly depleted, and drinking the Heavenly God Water that he had prepared in advance was of little use.

"Is this a sign of racial evolution? That shouldn't be happening!"

Bai Qi struggled to get up, drank several bottles of Heavenly God Water and finally recovered. He had no intention of resting any longer, and just silently waited for Alpha to hatch.

Finally, Alpha hatched again, but it still looked the same as before, without any major changes.

"Did the egg of evolution malfunction, or am I just weak?"

Bai Qi placed his hand on Alpha's head and began to check his condition.

【Name】：Ice Shadow Sword Servant (Alpha)

[Race]: Ice, Undead

[Growth Level]: Tier 1, Level 8

[Bloodline Level]: High Elite

[Racial Skills]: Skeleton Manipulation (Beginner), Ice Sword Slash (Master), Shadow Lotus (Master), Ice Armor (Master)

[Energy Value]: 13000

[Status]: Can Evolve

Why are two skills missing?!

Bai Qi shook his head, thinking he was hallucinating from dizziness, but the result was still the same.

"Skeleton manipulation? Could it be that two skills have been merged into one?"

Considering the precedent of Shadow Lotus, Bai Qi came up with an explanation and then opened the encyclopedia to search for it.

[Skill Name]: Skeleton Manipulation

[Skill Introduction]: A high-level skill in the Skeleton system, allowing free control of the skeleton to change and strengthen.

It's such a pleasant surprise that it can be fused to create a high-level skill!

Bai Qi was quite surprised to see that Alpha had acquired such an advanced skill. He then took Alpha to the yard to test its effects.

"Alpha, controlled by the skeleton."

Crackling.

Alpha tilted its head, seemingly adapting to the new skill. Then, its right hand rapidly twisted and transformed, turning into a bone blade, and then into a spear.

Is this skeleton manipulation? It looks just like Bai Qiucha's skill!

Could they have really stolen it?!

Bai Qi's eyes lit up as he saw Alpha suddenly plunge his hands into the ground, from which sharp white bone spikes emerged, instantly turning the yard into a honeycomb.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qi was dumbfounded, staring at Alpha as if he were thinking about something.

Even bone hyperplasia wouldn't be this exaggerated.

Also, Alpha, are you sure your last name wasn't Kaguya when you were alive?

Huh?

(What happened?)

The husky, who also noticed the commotion, came out of the studio and was somewhat bewildered by the devastated yard.

What happened to the rule that you're not allowed to destroy the house?

Bai Qi ignored the husky and said to Alpha, "Alpha, can you throw your finger bones like darts? Like this..."

gala gala

(I'll give it a try.)

Alpha nodded thoughtfully, withdrew his arms and returned them to their original position, and tried it once as Bai Qi had said.

The finger bones did fly out, but the force was rather pathetic; it would have been better to throw a stone.

"I guess I was overthinking it."

Bai Qi lost interest upon seeing this, but that didn't stop him from being happy that Alpha had acquired a high-level skill.

If one can be fused together, then a second one can definitely be fused together. As for the pattern, it is not yet clear.

Both bone reconstruction and steel skeleton are at perfect proficiency, which may be related to proficiency level.

Bai Qi glanced at the Ice Sword Slash and Ice Armor, which he was still proficient in, and immediately set the next training plan.

"But isn't it a bit much to fuse two low-level skills into one high-level skill? Is the Evolution Egg really that bugged? Or am I missing something?"

Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, completely unaware of the strangely colored bone fragment embedded in Alpha's spine.
