Chapter 102 - 101: Thunder Roar Cannon
Beast Master Association.
“Lao Mo, I specifically asked you to stay back as Bai Qi’s evaluator. I hope you don’t think I’m making a big fuss over a small matter.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Guan smiled and said, “Given our years of friendship, this is just an evaluation. It won’t take up too much of my time. Besides, I’m curious to see what kind of new evolution Bai Qi can stir up.”
Earlier, Luo Xiang had mentioned Bai Qi and his outstanding performance at the joint examination of the two cities had also piqued Mo Guan’s interest.
“That’s good. Don’t hesitate to be tough on this kid when the time comes.”
“Don’t worry. I have everything under control.”
Bai Qi’s advancement trajectory was extremely smooth, making him an absolute genius in Gusu City. However, those who could be selected for special training were almost all monstrous talents. President Qin was afraid that if Bai Qi flew too high, he would suffer a heavy fall.
Soon, the two of them reached the association’s largest internal battlefield, where a baby-faced teenager was already waiting at the entrance.
“Qiu Cha, what brings you here?”
President Qin approached the boy and asked, “Did Heguang send you?”
Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, “Not exactly. I just heard that Bai Qi found a completely new evolution for the Ice Shadow Swordsman. I wanted to witness it.”
President Qin nodded, “Bai Qi should be arriving soon. But you’ll have to wait outside for a while.”
Although the basic information of Bai Qi’s two new evolutionary types will be made public after today’s evaluation, they cannot disclose their specific skill data. Even Bai Qiucha, hailed as the Legendary Son, cannot access this information.
“Understood, I just want to see it firsthand.”
Being the first peer to defeat him, Bai Qiucha’s curiosity about Bai Qi far surpassed others. He couldn’t wait to see what kind of evolutionary types Bai Qi could come up with.
Perhaps they can have another fair battle sometime in the future?
“President Qin, Master Mo Guan.”
As the three of them waited at the entrance, Bai Qi also arrived at the battlefield. Seeing Bai Qiucha standing off to the side, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel surprised, “Bai Qiucha, what are you doing here?”
Bai Qiucha answered, “It’s just a coincidence.”
Bai Qiucha did not disclose his true intentions, nor could he articulate his reasons.
“Oh.”
Watching Bai Qiucha looking awkward, Bai Qi shook his head in confusion before turning to President Qin, “Mr. President, shall we start now?”
President Qin turned to Mo Guan and said, “Let’s get started.”
The three of them entered the battlefield and took their respective positions. With no further ado, Mo Guan activated the golden rune. A huge humanoid creature covered in golden light appeared on the battlefield.
[Name]: Golden Armor Giant Spirit
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
What a splendid pet!
“This is my main pet, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit. I will limit its power to less than 1% to ensure a fair fight. Feel free to attack boldly.”
Mo Guan, with a smile on his face, asked, “Which pet do you want to test first?”
Bai Qi paused for a moment before replying, “Let’s start with the Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf.”
Ever since Bai Qi tamed Alpha, it hadn’t actually had a proper battle. Usually, it spent its time absorbing mechanical diagrams. Today, with a free target, it was a great opportunity to try things out.
“Okay.”
Mo Guan glanced at the Golden Armor Giant Spirit, which instantly understood and, shaking its huge body, wrapped itself in a layer of gold armor.
As a renowned defensive master of the Federation, it would be a challenging feat for ordinary legendary pets to breach Mo Guan’s Golden Armor Giant Spirits’ defense. Now, even though it was only using 1% of its power, it was still enough for the Husky to have a field day.
“Come out, Schuck-Beta.”
Bai Qi signaled with his hand, and the Husky slowly emerged from the green rune. As soon as it arrived, it was taken aback by the sight of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
Woof Woof!
(Human, where did you get this massive chunk of gold? Are you rich?)
Bai Qi’s eye twitched as he hit Beta on the head, “Idiot, can’t you tell it’s a pet?”
Arwoo Arwoo!
(Human, you’re no fun.)
Beta disdainfully looked at Bai Qi, then turned its focus to the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
(Such a big guy… He should be worth a lot if sold, right?)
“Schuck-Beta, attack the Golden Armor Giant Spirit with all your might.”
Woof Woof! (Roger that.)
Both heads responded simultaneously. A mechanical arm sprouted from Schuck’s body. At the end of the arm was a green ring.
“Did you give your pet the Secret Realm Ring I gave you?”
Bai Qi scratched his head innocently, “Uh, is that not allowed?”
President Qin was at a loss for words. Generally speaking, during a fight, Beast Masters were allowed to use equipment because it was a part of their abilities, provided it was not overdone.
As for the pets wearing equipment, there was indeed no corresponding provision.
“Let’s leave it at that,” he said.
President Qin turned his head, not intending to banter with Bai Qi anymore.
Equipment was equipment, Mo Guan was after all a Master of the Sunrise Level. Bai Qi couldn’t come up with any exceptional tricks anyways.
Seeing President Qin agree, Schuck immediately connected a strand of spiritual energy to the Secret Realm Ring, and a heap of metal parts poured out from the ring.
Looking at the pile of parts that quickly accumulated, President Qin’s eyes twitched slightly, saying, “Don’t tell me you’re planning to assemble a weapon on the spot?”
Bai Qi nodded and replied, “The Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf has mechanical attributes by nature, so it should be reasonable to use mechanical weapons, right?”
“Reasonable, of course, reasonable!”
President Qin exhaled heavily, forcing himself to calm down. Mo Guan, even more indifferent, waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, Lao Qin. It’s a test, so naturally we have to push it to the limit. I’ve encountered Mechanical Engineering specialists before.”
Hearing Mo Guan speak, President Qin stopped talking, while the pile of parts had already taken shape swiftly under Schuck’s assembly.
Finally, a three-meter-high turret appeared on the battlefield under Schuck’s control, aiming the gun barrel squarely at the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
“Because of its own size limit, does it mean you have to assemble additional weapons? The idea is not bad, but it’s too slow in actual combat.”
Upon seeing this, Mo Guan immediately gave a straight forward evaluation.
“However, being able to assemble its own weapons, your pet should be more on the research side.”
Bai Qi paused upon hearing this, admitting, “You could say that.”
Whether it was Schuck or Beta, their roles currently seemed to be nothing more than tool dogs, cough, tool wolves. Neither of them had developed much combat ability.
However, Schuck had recently tinkered with some things, and there might be some surprises.
All of a sudden, Schuck extracted a Thunder Stone and built it into a groove on the turret. At the same time, Beta pressed its own claw on the turret.
In an instant, blue and red strands of energy spread rapidly along the gun body, gradually converging towards the muzzle.
“Thunder Power and Blast Power?”
Looking at the two forces that were gradually converging at the muzzle, for the first time, Mo Guan’s expression changed. These two forces finally converged.
Boom!
An ear-splitting blast was followed by a red-blue beam of light blasting out of the muzzle, landing directly on the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
In the stunned looks of Mo Guan and President Qin, the power of Thunderbolt and Fireblast almost instantly ripped through the Golden Armor’s defense, landing directly on the Golden Armor Giant Spirit.
The Golden Armor Giant Spirit instinctively tried to resist, forgetting that it currently possessed only one percent of its power. The golden arm held up in defense for only a few seconds before being burnt through by the power of Thunderbolt and Fireblast.
Thunder Roar Cannon has arrived!
“This…”
Seeing that Husky had indeed broken the power of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit, President Qin was momentarily at a loss for words.
Given the level of Golden Armor Giant Spirit, even one percent of the power was an insurmountable hurdle for a First Stage Husky. Moreover, the Golden Armor Giant Spirit was a defensive pet. Yet, now its front line was blasted out so easily?
President Qin glanced at Husky, who still bounced around after launching a terrifying attack, and suddenly felt his world-view refresh.
So the young people today are so powerful?
“Lao Qin, I suddenly understand your mood now.”
Mo Guan glanced at the quickly recuperating Golden Armor Giant Spirit, then looked at the Thunder Roar Cannon, saying, “This kid, he is really capable.”
President Qin nodded, looking at the gradually dissipating runes on the Thunder Roar Cannon, saying, “Don’t tell me, you made this thing with a rune too?”
Bai Qi said, “I was previously trying to create a Thunder-skull, so I tried a few runes of the Thunder power. In the end, it evolved into this.”
Initially, he hadn’t thought in this direction, but the enthusiastic Beta beside him came up with the idea after seeing the explosive effect of Thunder Power. Even the usually rational Schuck agreed to this plan.
For this, Schuck even put in a Fire Soul Crystal and Red Flame Iron obtained from the Tower of Gratitude into it, just to withstand the power of Thunder and Fire.
But because of time constraints, today was the first trial. Looking at it, the effect seemed quite good?
President Qin looked at the Thunder Roar Cannon deeply and said, “From now on, during regular battles, you are forbidden from using this, understand?”
If even Mo Guan couldn’t withstand it, among those of the same level, President Qin dared to bet, no one was able to withstand such a powerful tool.
“President, don’t worry, the Thunder Roar Cannon is currently only a prototype and I won’t use it casually.”
Not using the prototype, does that mean you are going to use the final version?
Just as President Qin was about to say something, Husky suddenly sensed something, quickly snatching the Thunder Stone, and ran back. Bai Qi also seemed to realize something and instinctively covered his ears.
Boom!
Under President Qin’s dumbfounded expression, the Thunder Roar Cannon exploded completely. A huge bang echoed through the battlefield, startling Bai Qiucha who was waiting in the battle room.
Such a huge noise, did Master Mo Guan take action?
Could Bai Qi push Master Mo Guan this far?
