Chapter 492: Chapter 487: Seven Swords Approaching the Six Towers
For elite creatures like the Golden Armor Sword, the efficiency of the Diamond Egg was exceptionally powerful.
After accelerated time in the Time Secret Realm, Bai Qi stood outside and waited for a while, and saw Alpha emerge from the Realm with a newly minted golden skeletal creature.
“Successful evolution?”
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and asked Alpha.
Rattle, rattle.
(Boss, it’s successful.)
Alpha turned to one side, and the Golden Armor Sword, understanding, led its battle horse directly to Bai Qi.
Like other Sword Riders, the Golden Armor Sword had undergone significant changes after evolution.
Wearing golden armor and carrying a massive sword with a serrated rift on its blade, it looked like the mouth of a monster ready to devour someone.
“Nice design. Yi Xiaowei’s imitation is on par with epic material.”
Bai Qi looked pleased and laid his hand on the Golden Armor Sword Rider.
[Name]: Golden Armor Sword Rider
[Nature]: Gold
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Lord
[Introduction]: Chewing Sword (High Level – Beginner)…
…
“Not bad at all. They’ve progressed to Mid-Level Lord.”
Bai Qi grinned and looked at the massive sword in the Golden Armor Sword Rider’s hand, saying, “Let’s see the effect of the Chewing Sword.”
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s command, the Golden Armor Sword Rider swung the enormous sword forcefully, unleashing a stream of golden sword qi that severed the far-off target.
Then, without waiting for Bai Qi to speak, the Golden Armor Sword Rider suddenly pulled with both hands, the Chewing Sword was instantly split into two, one side of the blade was smooth and the other resembled a shark’s teeth, which was eerily unsettling to the eye.
With the transition to dual swords, the Golden Armor Sword Rider’s movements became noticeably more agile. The two swords swung around and directly sliced the metal target into fragments.
“The attack power is good.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, catching Alpha’s attention who swiftly swung the Sword of the Wind Chaser, causing the Chewing Sword to break into several sections.
However, the Golden Armor Sword Rider seemed unperturbed, walking over to the pile of fragmented metal targets, pressing the broken sword onto it. The serrated blade somehow performed like a ferocious beast, starting to chew up the metal.
At the same time, the Chewing Sword, which was initially left with only a small section near the hilt, gradually began to grow, eventually returning to its former state.
“It really works. As long as it devours metal, it can recover the blade. Combined with the Undead’s own immortality, could there be a better tool for sieges?”
Bai Qi patted the Golden Armor Sword Rider forcefully and looked at the other Six Sword Riders.
“If I upgrade the Earth Armor Swordsman as well, the Seven Sword Riders’ formation would be complete.”
Upon thinking of this, Bai Qi suddenly had an idea. He brought Alpha and the Seven Swords out of the secret realm and head straight to the Tower of Competition.
After all, they wouldn’t be going back to Gusu City until tomorrow; they might as well test the Seven Swords’ current combat power at the Tower of Competition.
…
The Tower of Competition.
The arrival of Alpha and the Seven Swords captured many people’s attention. While bringing pets to the Tower is common, it was rare to see someone with so many, and they were clearly in formation.
“Let me see. Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Darkness…Holy crap! There’s even a holy light skeleton!”
“You must be an idiot. A holy light skeleton? Why not say there are ice fireballs too? You… need to rest… Wait! There really is one!”
“Look at the one leading. Doesn’t that look like Master Bai Qi? Isn’t the skeletal creature beside him his main pet, Death Sword Monarch?”
“Now that you say it, it does make sense.”
“Right, it must be the next product from the Super God Evolution Research Institute. Worth looking forward to.”
Watching the impressive party led by Bai Qi, the bystanders went from surprise to indifference, then from indifference to anticipation. Their shifting moods rivaled those seen in melodramatic soap operas.
“It’s gotten quite lively just after the New Year? Beast Masters from the headquarters are always full of surprises.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily. With this, he wouldn’t have to worry about finding opponents.
With that in mind, Bai Qi ran right up to the free matching platform in the arena and pressed his identity token on it. The Tower of Competition immediately started pairing him randomly with an opponent.
The Tower of Competition had an astonishing daily flow of people. Aside from forming teams autonomously, random team formation was also a primary method.
Soon, Bai Qi successfully matched with an opponent, but before he could even get a good look at the opponent, they conceded.
“System glitch? It makes sense. The association doesn’t have a mechanical department, so a glitch now and then is normal.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly and continued to match.
Successful Match!
The opponent conceded. You Win!
Successful Match!
The opponent conceded. You Win!
…
After several concessions, Bai Qi instantly became frustrated. The Beast Masters looking to match freely started to distance themselves from this area.
They were joking. Even with the balancing ability provided by the Tower of Competition, they didn’t think they stood a chance against him.
After all, many of them had trained with Bai Qi and watched him challenge higher ranks and rocket up to his current position.
“Bai Qi, what brings you back to headquarters today?”
At that moment, a familiar voice sounded from the side.
“Gu Shan? Good timing!”
Upon seeing the visitor, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He said, “Join me for a match!”
“A match?”
Gu Shan was taken aback by Bai Qi’s words but before he could react, Bai Qi had already pulled him into the arena.
“Why did you suddenly think of challenging me?”
Having been through quite a few battles, Gu Shan had learned to communicate more, so he initiated the question.
“It’s not specifically against you, it’s just that everybody else seems to love surrendering,”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, venting his frustration.
It was all because he was too formidable.
Gu Shan sighed inwardly, “I don’t mind dueling, but considering you’ve reached six stage now, let’s activate the balance device first.”
“No need, I won’t be using my own pets this time.”
“Not your own pets?”
Hearing Bai’s words, Gu Shan unconsciously looked towards the seven swords behind Bai Qi.
“You mean them?”
Bai Qi nodded, “They are kind of subordinates to Alpha… I was going back to headquarters today and figured I’d try them out in a battle.”
“I see,” Gu Shan accepted, taking a detailed look at the seven swords and realized that all of them were Lord level apart from the Earth Armor Swordsman.
Even their subordinates were at the Lord level, had the gap between them grown so large?
“So, how should we fight? One by one, or team battle?”
Bai Qi thought about it and said, “I originally wanted to challenge individually, but since I ran into you, let’s go with team battle.”
Gu Shan was best at team battles and the seven swords typically acted as a group, so a team fight would yield better experimental results.
“Okay, as for the arena environment, let’s go with a random terrain.”
Gu Shan agreed and used his identity badge to change the environment outside the rest room into a randomly generated setting, which finally settled into a barren desert scene.
Soon after, Gu Shan summoned his beasts, but instead of summoning his usual eight, he was short of his Flame-winged Snake.
“To make it fair, it will be seven versus seven.”
“Uh, no problem.”
Looking into Gu Shan’s resolute eyes, Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, but eventually agreed to Gu Shan’s terms.
The double level of the seven sword riders wasn’t low, but compared to Gu Shan, there was still a considerable gap. A match of equal numbers would indeed be a fair fight.
With Alpha’s orders, the seven swords came into the arena one after another, and their battleground was displayed in Bai Tongchen’s office at the top of the Tower of Competition.
“Who is Gu Shan fighting this time?”
Considering Gu Shan as his promising seedling, every battle he participated in was real-time displayed to Bai Tongchen so he could provide accurate guidance based on the reviews.
After all, if a beast master with such perfect coordination could be trained into a legend, he would be equivalent to two Legends.
But after seeing Gu Shan’s opponent, Bai Tongchen couldn’t help expressing surprise.
“Bai Qi, when did this kid get so many beasts?”
Bai Tongchen initially gaped in surprise, then recalled Bai Heguang mentioning something about it.
“These beasts have a contract, and most of them are Lords. It’s like he’s mocking Gu Shan’s strengthened talent in beast control space.”
Seeings this made Bai Tongchen laugh, attracting the attention of Bai Yuxiao, who was pondering over something quietly nearby.
“Bai Qi? Dad, has Bai Qi returned?”
“Go back to your thoughts. Look at Bai Qi, he was just at three stages when he arrived, and now he’s at six. You, on the other hand, are still languishing at four.”
Seeing Bai Yuxiao approach, Bai Tongchen was so disappointed that he gave him a swift kick.
“Who could compare with a freak like Bai Qi… ”
Bai Yuxiao looked aggrieved. Even Cha, who possessed prodigious talent, couldn’t catch up, let alone others.
“You are utterly useless. You’re wasting your Ghost Dragon.” Bai Tongchen grumbled. But after a second thought, he let Bai Yuxiao come over and watch together.
“What is this? Bai Qi’s pet is Alpha, right? Did it split?”
Bai Yuxiao asked, puzzled.
“Don’t mind too much about it, you could consider these as beasts raised by Bai Qi. Just that there’s no contract.”
Bai Tongchen casually passed the matter off without revealing the details of the beast contract.
“No contract, so he must be a Spirit Controller.”
Bai Yuxiao made up a story in his mind, then asked, “But isn’t Bai Qi being too presumptuous by challenging Gu Shan now? Gu Shan’s combat level is not low.”
“Don’t worry, just watch. Maybe Bai Qi will surprise us.”
Bai Tongchen smiled, his eyes still on the screen.
In the arena.
“Can we begin now?”
Gu Shan looked at Bai Qi and asked proactively.
“Yeah, it’s all good.”
Bai Qi nodded, then found a place to sit down.
The seven swords were usually commanded by Alpha, and this time was no exception. Bai Qi just needed to watch; occasionally, he needed to be a spectator as well.
Moreover, with the seven swords against a member of the Six Towers, Bai Qi was looking forward to the outcome of this duel.
He genuinely hoped they would win.
