Chapter 15: First Battle
the next day.
Bai Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the sun outside the window which was almost rising to the center, then he reluctantly climbed out of bed.
Although with the support of nutrient solution, Bai Qi's physical recovery speed can keep up with the needs of the evolution egg, but he still feels a little tired after doing it so many times, so Bai Qi simply moved to the bedroom.
Evolve, take drugs, design blueprints, then evolve again, take drugs...
Last night Bai Qi almost did these three things in a cycle and didn't go to bed until the early morning.
"Let's go out and find something to eat, and then go to the training ground again."
After drinking six or seven bottles of nutrient solution in one night, Bai Qi wasn't really hungry, but he still felt a little strange to have nothing in his stomach. So he simply combined two meals into one, ate something casually to fill his stomach, and went straight to the Beastmaster Association.
Alpha evolved six times last night, and there was still a lot of energy accumulated that had not been fully absorbed. Bai Qi planned to ask the trainer for help again.
Why don't you come by yourself?
Bai Qi actually wanted to do it and had tried it, but after his hands became numb from Alpha's tempered bones, Bai Qi gave up.
Who would have thought that Bone Hardening, which was originally an active skill, would become a passive skill after being upgraded to Hardened Bones.
Although it's not as strong as steel, it's still not something that Bai Qi's small body can handle.
Bai Qi came to the Beastmaster Association, and this time he was greeted by another receptionist.
"I'm sorry, the Undead Department's training ground is already full today."
"Even a fight is not possible?"
“There is no competition at the moment.”
The receptionist said apologetically, "And if you want to train your pet, I recommend you to take a look at the battlefield, the effect is not bad either."
"On the battlefield?"
Bai Qi hesitated for a while and said, "The opponents on the battlefield should all be of the same level, right?"
The receptionist nodded and said, "Don't worry, the level of the opponents arranged for the battlefield will not fluctuate more than one level, so there will be no level crushing."
Uh, but what I want is the effect of level crushing.
He came here mainly to use broken bone reshaping and the eggshell of the Black Iron Egg to quickly improve Alpha's physical strength. If he matched them with people of the same level as himself, the efficiency would be much slower.
However, there seemed to be no other choice at the moment, and actual combat was always the focus of the assessment for professional beastmasters.
"Then please arrange a battle for me."
The receptionist smiled and said, "Do you have a designated opponent for the battle? If not, we will randomly match you with an opponent."
"Just randomly."
"Okay, please go and pay the fee first, and then wait for your number to be called."
"It's going to cost money again... it's better to be cheaper than training."
Bai Qi paid the fee with some pain, took the number plate and went to the battle area next door to wait.
Apart from the gym, the Beastmaster Association is the only place that provides a place for battles, so there are quite a few people.
Although this kind of officially provided venue does not allow any gambling, watching other people's battles is also a way to accumulate combat experience, so most of the people here are apprentice beastmasters.
The association was very efficient. After about ten minutes, Bai Qi heard his number being called and immediately followed the system's instructions to head to the battlefield.
When Bai Qi arrived at the battlefield, the referee was already waiting inside.
The referee had just seen off a group of contestants and was checking the information of the next contestant. When he saw Bai Qi appear, he said, "Hello, your opponent hasn't arrived yet. Please wait a moment."
"OK."
Bai Qi nodded and went to his position under the guidance of the referee.
This battlefield is broadcast live to the outside world, so there are cameras everywhere, and every move of the pets and the beastmasters will be clearly presented to the audience outside.
Soon, Bai Qi's opponent also arrived. He was a sturdy man with a full beard.
Bai Qi looked at his opponent and looked at the referee with some confusion.
Didn’t they say that the level difference should not exceed one level? Are you sure this uncle’s pet is not yet at the first level?
The referee coughed twice and said, "You are Bai Qi and Shi Yong, right?"
Bai Qi nodded, stretched out his hand to the burly man, and said, "Hello, I'm Bai Qi."
The sturdy man held Bai Qi's hand, shook it vigorously, and said: "Hello, my name is Shi Yong, I am eighteen years old, I like..."
Such a mature eighteen years old!
Bai Qi complained in his heart and pulled his hand back forcefully. Looking at the clearly visible fingerprints on the hand, he looked towards Shi Yong with more suspicion.
This guy must have underestimated his age by ten years.
And those muscles are a little too strong. Does this guy usually train with his pet?
"This match is a free match . The match ends when one side's pet loses its ability to fight. The time limit is half an hour."
The referee coughed twice, signaling the two to return to their respective positions, and then began to explain the rules of the battle.
"Ahem, if there's nothing wrong, we'll be ready to get started."
In fact, generally speaking, battles between apprentice beastmasters like this would end quickly. After all, they were just noobs fighting each other and had no idea how to properly allocate their energy. Almost every time, one side would surrender after using up all its energy first.
The two nodded and opened their own beast-controlling spaces. Two transparent magic arrays gradually took shape in the center of the venue.
The speed at which a beastmaster summons pets is proportional to the beastmaster's own mental strength. It's okay to fight against them like this, but if you put it in the wild, your opponent will not wait for you to slowly summon pets.
Even before the establishment of the Federation, someone had used a sniper rifle to assassinate a Beastmaster. It was not until the establishment of the Federation that a corresponding law was enacted to prohibit non-military Beastmasters from mastering this ultra-long-range weapon.
Finally, the summoning formation of the two was formed , and a frog-headed humanoid pet with two pairs of arms, nearly two meters tall, emerged from Shi Yong's formation.
Just like his master, this pet has bulging muscles all over its body, and one can tell just by looking at it that it is very powerful.
【Name】：Horse-armed frog
[Race]: Fighting
[Bloodline Level]: High Elite
[Racial Skills]: Explosive Fist, Powerful Throw, Double Kick
As soon as the frog appeared on the stage, the audience who had been expecting to see a wonderful performance suddenly lost interest and began waiting for the next game to begin.
After the Frog appeared, Alpha also crawled out of the formation. His petite figure, which was originally only half a person's height, looked even shorter because of the Frog.
They had every reason to believe that the frog would end the battle in an instant.
Looking at the thin bones, it is estimated that they will break if pinched by the giant frog.
