Chapter 27 Found the Organization
Hill of the Dead Secret Tower.
Qin Jiang, whose mind was no longer on the training and assessment, waited for a while before handing over the assessment to other staff members and arriving at the Secret Realm Tower with Bai and Guang.
"President Qin, you seem to care a lot about this young man?"
Bai Heguang glanced at the flickering runes on the fourth layer and said, "At 18 years old, this young man hasn't become a professional beast tamer yet. His talent should be average."
As the Federation's youngest titled Legend, Bai Heguang naturally has high standards. Geniuses of Bai Qi's age are all professional Beast Tamers, yet Bai Qi is still an apprentice, which speaks volumes about his talent.
"What if this young man only became a beast tamer a month ago?"
Qin Jiang handed a document to Bai Heguang and said, "In the history of the Federation, there are many geniuses who achieved great things late in life because their talents were awakened late, and this kid seems to be a little different from other beast tamers."
Bai Heguang took the documents, quickly flipped through them, and then frowned, saying, "This kid is actually doing mechanical modifications on undead creatures?"
Seeing this, Qin Jiang smiled and said, "I know you don't have a good impression of Mechanical Legend, but this young man has indeed forged a completely new path, hasn't he?"
Bai Heguang forced a smile, then summoned a giant black bird and leaped onto its back.
"President Qin, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Jiang's reply, Bai Heguang rode the giant bird and disappeared into the sky.
"This guy, even after becoming a legendary figure, is still so awkward."
Qin Jiang shook his head, and suddenly the gate of the secret realm tower opened, revealing a man and a dog in front of him.
Bai Qi brushed the ice shards off his head somewhat disheveledly, then complained, "This godforsaken place, are they really planning to let apprentice beast tamers pass through?"
Although not a magic-based class, Alpha's kiting tactics were very successful, and in the end, he managed to kill all ten ice demons.
When Bai Qi entered the fifth floor and saw the ten ice ghost guards, he chose to give up without hesitation.
Just kidding, ten Ice Ghosts alone have already depleted Alpha's energy to almost nothing. If another ten Ice Ghosts were to guard it, there's no way it could possibly win.
Unless Alpha can master a powerful area-of-effect skill, or a control skill, it won't work.
Unfortunately, apart from rapidly improving race, Bai Qi hasn't discovered any skill-related functions for the Evolution Egg yet.
The only solution right now is to first convert the gains from this Secret Realm Tower into strength, and then give it another try.
Bai Qi carefully took out a piece of iron ingot that was still emitting cold air from his backpack, and he already had an idea in mind.
Seeing Bai Qi standing in front of the secret realm tower muttering to himself, Qin Jiang couldn't help but cough twice to attract Bai Qi's attention, and asked, "Ahem! You're Bai Qi?"
"I am Bai Qi, and you are?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Bai Qi felt that he was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember him at first.
"I am Qin Jiang, the president of the Beast Taming Association of Gusu City. Did you just finish clearing the Secret Realm Tower?"
Oh no, I got caught using the back door. I should have used up all the materials in the Secret Realm Tower first.
This was a huge miscalculation.
Bai Qi's eyes twitched. He gripped his backpack tightly, gave an awkward smile, and said, "Um, President Qin, I didn't mean to. I really didn't expect there to be an entrance at the shore of Taize Lake. I just accidentally came in."
Qin Jiang shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to pursue this matter. I want to ask you if you have passed the fourth level?"
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's right, it's me."
Upon hearing Bai Qi's confirmation, a smile immediately appeared on Qin Jiang's face. A golden magic array, as bright as the sun, appeared beneath their feet. Before Bai Qi could react, the two people and the dog vanished from their spot.
When the two reappeared, they were back in Gusu City, in Qin Jiang's office at the Beast Tamer Association.
Bai Qi looked out the window at the familiar scene, still somewhat shocked.
The golden magic circle is a color that only sixth-tier beast tamers can possess. Because its golden light shines like a blazing sun, sixth-tier beast tamers are also known as the Sunrise level.
As for how the two of them were transferred here, Bai Qi wasn't quite sure.
Could it be that President Qin has actually contracted a pet beast with spatial attributes?
A hint of envy flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, while Qin Jiang cut to the chase: "Could you tell me about the fourth and fifth levels?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "The environment of the fourth and fifth levels is the same as the previous three levels, which is an ice field. However, the fourth level is guarded by ten ice demons, and the fifth level is guarded by ten ice demons."
"Those ten ice demons can fly, but they're not fast, and their level is a bit lower than the ones in the first level. They can be defeated with difficulty, but if the ten ice demon guards don't have area-of-effect skills, they'll definitely be hard to defeat."
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Qin Jiang fell silent, his gaze towards Bai Qi becoming increasingly strange.
Wow, this old man probably has some kind of weird fetish.
Bai Qi couldn't help but shiver and quietly took two steps back.
"Could you summon your pet beast so I can see it?"
Qin Jiang seemed to realize his lapse in composure and forced a friendly smile, but to Bai Qi, the smile appeared even more sinister.
However, Bai Qi eventually obediently summoned Alpha.
"Netherworld Bone Spurs? No, something seems a little different."
As the president of the Beast Taming Association, Qin Jiang naturally had extensive knowledge and could tell Alpha's race at a glance. However, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled after seeing the metallic luster on Alpha's body.
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately explained, "Um, Alpha is a mutated form, so it's slightly different from the regular Netherworld Bone Spurs."
Alpha's rapid changes inevitably aroused suspicion, so Bai Qi could only attribute it all to mutations.
"A mutant?"
Qin Jiang smiled, turned to look at Bai Qi, and said, "But it's quite impressive that you were able to cultivate it to level nine in just one month. Did you also make this mechanical joint and these gloves?"
"Simple reinforcement, simple reinforcement."
Bai Qi nodded awkwardly and said, "President Qin, this shouldn't be illegal, right?"
"It's not illegal as long as it doesn't violate humanitarian principles."
Qin Jiang burst into laughter, then his expression turned serious. He said, "Bai Qi, I'm asking you now, are you willing to join our Beast Tamer Association?"
