Chapter 370: Chapter 366: Return to Headquarters

Twilight Tomb.

The second floor.

Watching the Six Sword Servants devour the soul fire of the Three Corpse Ghost Beast, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

“Alright, that’s enough training for today.”

Crunch crunch.

(All right, boss.)

Alpha, who was standing nearby, nodded and directly summoned the Six Sword Servants to his side.

Compared to before, the Six Sword Servants were considerably larger, and their auras had improved significantly.

The Twilight Tomb was indeed a treasure trove for leveling up undead creatures.

“It’s a pity we can’t continue to explore deeper, otherwise the gains should be substantial.”

Bai Qi clicked his tongue regretfully, took out his Teleportation Rune Stone, and left the Twilight Tomb.

“Bai Qi, have you already come out? I thought it would take you longer.”

Bai Qiucha, who clearly had been waiting outside for a while, was a bit surprised to see Bai Qi emerge.

“Cha? Why are you here? Is there something else?”

Bai Qi was a bit confused, but Bai Qiucha looked helpless and said, “Didn’t you get the message that was sent out last night from headquarters, telling us to go back for the final assessment of our training? You forgot?”

“I was in the Twilight Tomb; I didn’t get it.”

Bai Qi took out his phone and saw that there was indeed such a message, which immediately lifted his spirits.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s rush!”

He finally would be able to exchange resources. At least one Mythical Level resource—just thinking about it made him excited.

“I knew you’d be like this.”

Bai Qiucha was no longer surprised by Bai Qi’s behaviour. He pointed to a spaceship next to them and said, “President Qin has already arranged the spaceship for us. She’s just waiting for you.”

“Let’s go, let’s go! I’m already starving!” Bai Qi said, his face full of excitement. He grabbed Bai Qiucha and began to walk towards the spaceship, only to see other Beast Masters who were also here to challenge the Twilight Tomb staring.

“Isn’t that Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha? What are they doing arm in arm?”

“Hey, didn’t you hear? Bai Qi moved in next door to Bai Qiucha. I heard that they… ”

“Cough cough! That’s too sensational!”

“What are you thinking? I was going to say they’ve been getting closer because they’ve been training under Bai Chuanqi’s special training, and they live so close.”

“Oh…”

…

On the spaceship.

Watching the constantly changing landscape outside the window, Bai Qi began to think about the things he needed to handle after they arrived at the headquarters.

First was the Green Dragon’s Scales. He would need to seek Nicholas’ opinion. If he approved, Bai Qi would merge it with the bug herbs.

Then there were the points to be exchanged. Even though the headquarters hadn’t announced it yet, Bai Qi was sure he could afford at least one Mythical Level resource, though getting two might be a bit problematic.

It was also a headache deciding who the resources would go to after the exchange.

There was also the matter of alchemy. He didn’t know if Master Lan would permit him to access relevant reading materials. According to Heguang, alchemy seemed to be a taboo, so it might not necessarily be something he would want to pursue.

And he almost forgot about the Cowskin Snake.

Although he suspected it might be bluffing, it wasn’t an ordinary creature either. He’d better ask Old Lady Fan what she thought of it.

“By the way, Cha, where’s our teacher? Has he gone ahead?”

“Hmm, my dad said he had some things he needed to arrange first, so he left early.”

Bai Qiucha nodded, glanced at a contemplative Bai Qi, and asked, “By the way, Bai Qi, have you decided which of the Six Towers you want to join?”

“Join the Six Towers? I haven’t thought about it.”

Bai Qi shrugged. He had asked Heguang this question, but Heguang had told him to decide on his own, leaving him in quite a quandary.

The Tower of Knowledge was full of information that would be useful for both his research and creature cultivation.

The Holy Relic Tower was rich in resources. With the Material Atlas and Skill Atlas of Evolution Egg, he would likely be able to upgrade all of his creatures’ skills to Transcendent Skills.

The Tower of Competition was unmatched when it came to combat experience. Bai Qi was confident that his creatures would easily outperform others of the same level in real battles, and fighting creatures of higher levels was also possible.

As for the Schizonepeta Tower and the Moon Night Tower, one managed punishments and the other managed treatment, neither of which interested Bai Qi.

The Judgment Tower, the core of the Beast Master Association’s power, was not something Bai Qi felt he had the capability to meddle with. He didn’t even have to think about that one.

“Which one do you want to go to, Cha?”

Bai Qi asked Bai Qiucha in return.

“Me? If I can, I’d rather not join any of the Six Towers for the time being.”

Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, “My methods of advancement are different from ordinary people. All I need to do is diligently cultivate according to the process. Joining the Six Towers would take up my time, and it wouldn’t be worth it.”

Oh shoot, he nearly forgot that she only needs to remember her main account’s password.

He was so envious.

Bai Qi clicked his tongue. Maybe he should just not join any tower at all?

Anyway, he would be sent on errands no matter where he was. He might as well stay in Gusu City and be sent on errands by President Qin, which would certainly be much more comfortable than being inside one of the Six Towers.

Well, that was settled.

“Uh, we seem to be almost there.”

Bai Qiucha looked out the window at the Six Towers gradually coming into view and said.

“That was fast.”

Bai Qi nodded, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

I’m coming, resources!

…

Beast Master Association Headquarters.

Assembly Hall.

The assembly hall, quiet for several months, once again became bustling today. Beast Masters who had been dispatched to various locations for the third stage of training were returning one after another.

Compared to their former youthful folly, they clearly appeared more mature and steady after this period of training.

They might have been learning and improving in various positions over the past few months, having been roughed up by society, and naturally they no longer thought so highly of themselves as before.

Of course, there were exceptions.

“Gu Shan, you jerk, why haven’t you been answering my calls for months? Are you itching for a beating?”

Zhou Yan was visibly upset, and suddenly exerted force on Gu Shan’s neck. Caught off guard, Gu Shan could not resist, his eyes rolled back – he was about to pass out any moment.

“Hey, Zhou Yan, if you don’t let go, Gu Shan might cease to exist,”

Xiao Yuan looked on helplessly and said, “We haven’t seen each other for a while. You don’t have to be so brutal as soon as we meet.”

“Humph, he shouldn’t dare to ignore my messages.”

Zhou Yan snorted coldly but finally released her arm. Now Gu Shan was finally able to catch his breath, gasping for air with all his might.

“Sister Yan, you are becoming more and more violent. I don’t think Gu Shan is going to have easy days in the future.”

Bai Yuxiao walked over from the side, and looking at Gu Shan who was still pale-faced, he couldn’t help but taunt him, “Gu Shan spent the past few months intensely training. He’s advanced to the Four Stage Beast Master. His phone and everything, my father confiscated a long time ago.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yan’s expression became slightly better.

“Gu Shan, you’re a Four Stage Beast Master now? Your progress is not slow.”

Xiao Yuan was slightly taken aback by the news. As a Four Stage Beast Master, with dual talent and eight pets, Gu Shan was starting to rise.

“Tower Master Bai has taken good care of me, so I improved faster than before.”

Gu Shan was somewhat embarrassed when he saw everyone looking at him.

“Theoretically speaking, dual talent is harder to improve than single talent. You don’t need to be so humble.”

“Damn, Qing’er when did you come out? I didn’t hear a thing.”

The sudden voice startled Zhou Yan. As soon as she saw it was Lu Qing, she couldn’t help but complain.

“I’ve been here for a while now. You just haven’t noticed me.”

Lu Qing pushed her glasses up and glanced at the five Rune Marks on Zhou Yan’s hand, “As a Fifth Stage Beastmaster, you need to improve your alertness.”

“Qing’er….”

Zhou Yan covered her face and sighed. Then she noticed that Lu Qing had also advanced to the Fifth Stage and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Qing’er, you’re at the Fifth Stage as well? Weren’t you always buried in books in the Tower of Knowledge?”

“Does reading books have anything to do with leveling up?”

Lu Qing shook the book in her hand, “You should consider reading a few more books with me. It would be very beneficial for your future development.”

“No, I can’t handle that.”

Zhou Yan instantly refused, “If you want to read books, you should go find Li Mu. He will definitely be willing to read with you.”

Lu Qing stayed silent, while Xiao Yuan scanned the crowd, asking, “By the way, have any of you seen Cha and Bai Qi?”

“No, but those two are returning from Gusu City. They should be coming over together.”

Zhou Yan shook her head, a flash of fighting spirit in her eyes.

“I’ve leveled up to the Fifth Stage as well. I can use those two to practice. Oh, can we still use the score battles?”

“You really are… ”

Xiao Yuan smiled helplessly, while Li Mu suddenly spoke up, “They’ve arrived.”

Everyone looked in the direction he indicated and saw Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha descending from the sky on the Bone Dragon.

“Everyone, long time no…What the? Sister Zhou, why are you attacking me?!”

Bai Qi jumped off the Bone Dragon and was about to greet everyone, but when he saw Zhou Yan suddenly charge at him, he quickly dodged.

“Nothing much, I just want to see if you have become complacent.”

Zhou Yan landed on her feet, pointed at Bai Qi, and exclaimed, “Bai Qi, I challenge you to take revenge for the humiliations of the score battles and to get back the points I lost!”

Bai Qi sighed in disbelief, yet Zhou Yan was still as eager for a fight as ever. Had she not realized that the score battles had ended after the second round?

“Sister Yan, the score battles have ended. You won’t get any points even if you win, and also…”

Bai Qiucha started to speak but stopped, pondering for a moment before changing her words, “Also, the final meeting is about to start. Starting a fight now, aren’t you afraid Instructor Leng will….”

“Ahem, when you put it like that, it seems true.”

Upon hearing the name Instructor Leng Feifei, Zhou Yan instantly got hesitant, then glared fiercely at Bai Qi and said, “I’ll challenge you after the meeting is over. You must not run away, Bai Qi!”

“Uh, alright.”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He really didn’t want to fight, but given her temper, he had no choice but to accept.
