Chapter 268: Chapter 264: Returning to Gusu City (Extra

Update)

“Phew- I’m dead tired.”

Bai Qi, completely exhausted, collapsed on the ground without any grace. Looking around at the Jade Valley, which was barely restored to its original state, he said, “Given this situation, we can only carry out some basic training at the base in the future.”

Creaky creak.

(Boss, I don’t think this is very realistic.)

Alpha ruthlessly shattered Bai Qi’s illusion. Before Bai Qi could even struggle, Schuck directly threw a data sheet in front of him.

“Based on the data we have collected so far, our regular data has already exceeded the limits of the training and battlefields. Unless I can get my hands on Endless Material Science and Ultimate Engineering to redesign them, the only solution is for you, Beast Master, to find another durable Secret Realm for training.”

“A durable Secret Realm?”

The name ‘Tower of Competition’ suddenly flashed in Bai Qi’s mind, but it was quickly dismissed.

As a Secret Realm Tower that has been inherited by the association for many years, the Tower of Competition has been transformed by countless generations to its current scale. It’s not realistic to expect to find another Secret Realm Tower like it.

“By the way, Delta, can your Void Echo create a separate mini-world? Don’t all Spatial Divine Beasts carry their own mini-worlds?”

Realizing that the Tower of Competition was out of the question, Bai Qi turned his hopes towards Delta.

Blub blub.

(I’m sorry, Master, Delta doesn’t have that ability yet.)

Delta looked apologetically at Bai Qi. Despite quietly trying for a while, it still couldn’t accomplish it.

Although Void Echo was a comprehensive skill with strong capabilities, it still had a significant gap compared to Spatial Divine Beasts that could create an independent space at will.

“No worries, I’ll ask Old Qin and my teacher if they can help me switch to a new Secret Realm.”

After resting for a while, Bai Qi finally recovered. Seeing Nicholas, who was still busily preparing breakfast for Old Lady Fan, he said, “I should be leaving, and I’ll come to see you again after a while.”

Upon hearing these words, Nicholas immediately put down his kitchen utensils, looking remorsefully at Bai Qi. After struggling for a moment, he said, “Are you sure you don’t need this dragon to accompany you?”

Bai Qi shrugged, laughing, “Even if I agreed, I doubt President Qin and Old Lady Fan would let you leave with me.”

Traveling all over with a legendary creature in tow, let alone the association’s agreement, probably the Thirteenth Bureau would assign people to keep an eye on him all the time too.

After all, a college student wandering around with an immature Legendary Giant Dragon was a far greater threat than a core annihilation weapon.

“Alright then, just remember to visit this dragon more often, otherwise I might get bored.”

Nicholas reluctantly nodded his head, then buried himself in his food preparations again.

Does this look like boredom?

Who’s he trying to fool?

Bai Qi rolled his eyes speechlessly, then took the initiative to leave the Green Dragon Secret Realm.

Considering the evolution, battles, and subsequent battlefield cleanup, Bai Qi had spent an entire day in the Green Dragon Secret Realm. He just happened to run into the groups led by Xiao Yuan and Wang Huai, who were chatting and laughing as they approached from afar.

“Huh? Bai Qi, did you just come out of the Green Dragon Secret Realm?”

Seeing Bai Qi appear, Xiao Yuan immediately guessed Bai Qi’s previous destination. Tang Miao was instantly interested, saying, “I heard Bai Yuxiao say that you found a Legendary Giant Dragon in the Secret Realm and became good friends with it. Is that true? Could you take me there to meet it?”

Why does this guy have such a big mouth…

Bai Qi speechlessly glared at Bai Yuxiao, who had a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face. He said, “I suppose you could call us friends. But he doesn’t like to meet strangers, so…”

Looking a little disappointed, Tang Miao lowered his head and said, “Alright then. The Mountain Giant that King Legendary found in the Emperor’s Secret Realm is the same. Are all these legendary creatures so aloof?”

Mountains Giant? So the Thirteenth Bureau did trick it out, didn’t they?

Hearing this, Bai Qi realized what was going on, then shifted the topic, “Captain Wang, are you guys planning to go out?”

Wang Huai nodded, “We’ve been troubling Xiao Yuan lately to take us around the vicinity. We were just about to go out for a stroll. Do you want to come along, Bai Qi?”

“Not me. I need to go say hello to President Qin first, and then it’s back to Gusu City.”

His experiences at the headquarters over the past few months had been rich and varied, and his pets had made substantial progress. But his course work at the Meeh Department had also fallen a bit behind, so Bai Qi thought he should catch up.

Don’t ask why he was working so hard when he had Schuck, a super intelligence. It was just a bout of stubbornness from a Meeh Master.

After all, there were some things that couldn’t be mastered simply by relying on the mechanistic diagrams provided by the Thirteenth Bureau.

“You’re already returning to Gusu City?”

Xiao Yuan looked at Bai Qi somewhat surprised. Although the second phase of training had ended and the instructors were no longer teaching, the majority of trainees had chosen to stay here and hadn’t left yet.

After all, not every place could offer the same superior cultivation conditions as the headquarters.

“Yeah.”

Bai Qi turned to BaiQiucha in the group, “Cha, are you going back too?”

Bai Qiucha nodded, “I can go. Dad also wants me to participate in normal university life, so it’s better to go back earlier.”

“If you’re both leaving, won’t there be no one left to challenge me? That’s so boring…”

Seeing both of them leaving, Zhou Yan suddenly became a bit listless.

“What about Gu Shan? I heard Gu Shan planned to join the Tower of Competition, right?”

Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Shan, who silently nodded, “Master Bai of the Tower visited me yesterday, and I agreed.”

Although Gu Shan’s performance was not as dazzling as Bai Qi’s, his dual talent had high potential. With proper nurturing, his future prospect was limitless.

“Tsk…you agreed to my dad’s invitation, take care of yourself.”

Upon hearing what Gu Shan said, sympathy surfaced on Bai Yuxiao’s face.

It was clear how difficult Gu Shan’s upcoming days would be under the control of the battle maniac, his father. However, the massive improvement in his abilities would be guaranteed.

“Congratulations on your successful admission to the Six Tower.”

Bai Qi ignored what Bai Yuxiao said and congratulated Gu Shan, who nodded in response.

“Bai Qi, has any tower master invited you?”

The mention of an invitation from the Six Tower reminded Zhou Yan of something. He suddenly looked at Bai Qi, so did Wang Huai and others, who were also curious.

“Someone did invite me before. But recently, aside from Master Xiang of the Tower, no one else has.”

Bai Qi shrugged. Considering the relative lack of freedom in the Six Tower, he wasn’t enthusiastic about joining. He didn’t mind if the tower masters gave up on inviting him further. Otherwise, he would have had to figure out how to reject them.

“Perhaps they’re considering BaiChuanqi’sopinions. After all, Bai Qi, you’re Bai Chuanqi’s apprentice now. You should consult his opinion about joining the Six Tower.”

After contemplating for a while, Xiao Yuan gave a reasonable explanation. Everyone else nodded in agreement and no longer found it strange.

With Bai Qi’s stunning performance in the grand competition, he certainly would be a hot target for invitations from the Six Tower. It would be abnormal if nobody invited him. However, with Bai Chuanqi involved, it made sense.

“You guys hang out. I will go find President Qin first.”

Bai Qi waved at the crowd and headed straight for the Tower of Knowledge. Bai Qiucha also left the group and followed Bai Qi.

Watching the two leave, Wang Huai went silent for a while, “We have disturbed you guys long enough. We should go back for training. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Don’t mention it, we only did our part as hosts.”

Xiao Yuan wasn’t surprised to see this situation. Considering Bai Qi was already so strong yet still so diligent, they really had no reason to continue their leisure time.

The Tower of Knowledge.

After several days of joint efforts in decoding, the rune structure of the White Meeh had been basically deciphered. However, the method used by the Law Emperor to bind the souls of fierce beasts remained undiscovered. It was as if these souls were originally born from the mech itself.

“It seems that we can’t reproduce the technology of that era by simply relying on one White Mech. We have to wait for the feedback from the Thirteenth Bureau.”

Lan Ke frowned slightly. After glancing at the Mech in front of her, she turned to Xiao Ding, “Master Xiao, we leave the subsequent manufacturing issues to you and the Moon Night Tower. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Xiao Ding nodded, “The basic design drafts are already out. Once the sample machine is successful, I will contact you all.”

Lan Ke slightly nodded and then smiled at a group of Rune Masters and supportive masters, “Thank you all for your hard work during these days.”

“All we did was for a stable life for the human beings. There’s no need to say thanks.”

President Qin waved his hand, “I have been away for a while now. It’s time for me to go back. Who knows what mess there might be.”

Everyone chuckled, their faces showing relaxation and pleasure.

Successfully analyzing the White Mech containing the essence of the runes from the Era of Law Emperor was a significant achievement for them. If they took the time to digest it, their proficiency in runes would surely improve a lot.

“Huh? Why is everyone here?”

At this moment, Bai Qi walked in from outside. Seeing the cheerful crowd, he looked a bit puzzled.

“You are a member of the decoding team. Can’t you keep track of its progress?”

Looking at Bai Qi’s baffled face, President Qin rolled his eyes, “The decoding process is already complete. We are all going home.”

“The decoding is complete? So, did you find the method to bind the souls of fierce beasts?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi’s eyes gleamed, and his mind was consumed with the desire for knowledge.

“No, we didn’t. Perhaps the method is still hidden in the Secret Realm of Law Emperor.”

Professor Dong shook his head, his face showing a hint of regret.

“The Secret Realm of Law Emperor, huh…”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi came back to his senses. Thinking about Heibai, who had taken the Secret Realm and disappeared, he felt a sense of hopelessness.

“By the way, Bai Qi, the grand competition is over. You should be going back to Gusu City, right? Why not go with me.”

President Qin patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, “Now you are a Four Stage Beast Master. You must help me handle some association affairs once we are home.”

Bai Qi grimaced, “President, I’m still a student. It isn’t good foryou to do this.”

President Qin, “You are already of age. It does not violate Federation’s law.”

Bai Qi puckered his lips and complained silently in his heart.

Once back, he would definitely avoid the association unless absolutely necessary. He wondered what Old Qin could do to him.
