Huh? Why are you all looking at me?”
Becoming the sudden focus of attention, Bai Qi felt a bit dumbstruck.
Gao Cheng, who was relatively familiar with Bai Qi, rushed to Bai Qi’s side, pointed at the fully lit Lamentation Tower and asked hesitantly: “Uh, Bai Qi, did you defeat the ferocious beast of the ninth level?”
“Probably, I guess so.”
Bai Qi wasn’t sure how to answer Gao Cheng’s question. If possessing the key counted, then he should have indeed defeated it.
With Bai Qi’s confirmation, everyone present gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief. However, they chose to believe.
After all, the twenty people who were qualified to challenge the Lamentation Tower were all here, and everyone else had failed before Bai Qi showed up. Other than Bai Qi, there was no one else.
Are you really Bai Qi? Is this your pet beast?”
Gao Cheng was somewhat speechless, while Lu Yuan still had a skeptical attitude. He couldn’t connect the ice-armored swordsman behind Bai Qi with the skeleton soldier from before, no matter how he tried.
Could mechanical modifications also change the attribute?
Bai Qi glanced at the bewildered Lu Yuan, nodded puzzledly and said, “What else could it be? Didn’t we meet during practice? Was it injured?” nj ii
Lu Yuan was at a loss for words, not knowing where to start, while Gao Cheng found it hard to watch and said, “Can’t blame him, who would expect your, urn pet beast to have undergone such a drastic change in appearance.”
“But, I remember your pet beast to be the Shadow Bone Spike. How did it transform into this?”

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, “Oh you mean this, Alpha obtained a piece of Cold Spirit Iron after challenging the Lamentation Tower, and for some reason it evolved again.”
With Alpha’s rapid transformation, Bai Qi was too lazy to explain and attributed everything to the Lamentation Tower.
“I see, no wonder you stayed atop for so long.”
Gao Cheng had an epiphany, but after seeing Alpha’s drastically altered appearance and aura, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
If Lu Yuan wasn’t mistaken, then Bai Qi’s pet beast had undergone racial evolution twice within a month or so?
And it looked like the strength was considerable?
Was he really a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department and not a descendant of a great beast trainer?
All right, all right, let’s disperse. Those who want to continue the challenge can continue, those who are not interested can leave first.”
President Qin had informed the instructor about Bai Qi’s identity beforehand. Seeing Bai Qi being surrounded, the instructor timely stepped forward to help Bai Qi wrap up.
“Bai Qi, you are the first person to pass all nine levels. I need to take you to President Qin right away. Come with me.”
Bai Qi nodded his head. Even if the instructor hadn’t mentioned it, there were things Bai Qi wanted to confirm with President Qin.
Besides, he was genuinely scared of the fervently hot gazes of these people. “Hold on!”
Xia Xuan, who had been alone, suddenly stood in front of Bai Qi, scrutinizing him with a probing look.
“What’s up?”
Although Bai Qi and Xia Xuan were students of the Star Mechanics Academy, they were not familiar with each other.
After all, to Xia Xuan, Bai Qi, who had not awakened his talent, was unworthy of his notice.
And Bai Qi, likewise, had no interest in brown-nosing Xia Xuan.
In response to Bai Qi’s comment, Xia Xuan instinctively felt annoyed, his face turned cold, and he said, “I heard you made a pact just a month ago, and now you can pass this Secret Realm Tower, I find it hard to believe.”
“Hmm… Whether you believe it or not doesn’t seem to matter, does it?” Bai Qi pointed at the Lamentation Tower behind him, looking puzzled, and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. You can continue the challenge.” “No, I intend to verify your true strength personally.”
“I challenge you to a duel!”
“Do you dare to accept?”
Looking at Xia Xuan’s eager face, Bai Qi was even more baffled.
Did he offend him?
Are the hearts of the rich so fragile?
Bai Qi turned his seeking help gaze towards the instructor, who, to his surprise, was quite interested. The instructor stepped forward saying, “Since you both want to challenge, I can act as the referee.”
Brother, didn’t you just say you were going to see President Qin right away? How did that change?
“Everyone disperse, disperse.”
Seeing the instructor agree to the duel, the ever-enthusiastic Han Wei immediately began to organize the people around him to make room for the two to fight. The instructor also stepped aside, signaling the two to get ready. How could a fight suddenly start…
Bai Qi let out a helpless sigh, having no choice but to accept Xia Xuan’s challenge.
“I agree, but I want to increase the stakes. I bet the first-through reward of your fifth level.”
Bai Qi had always been unhappy about not receiving the fifth level’s reward.
Now that Xia Xuan had brought it up, Bai Qi naturally couldn’t let the opportunity slip by.
I don’t care. You can have it if you want as long as you agree to fight me.”
Nonchalantly, Xia Xuan took out three pieces of Cold Spirit Iron and handed them to the instructor. Bai Qi also took out an equal amount of Cold Spirit Iron for the bet.
“Alright, let it be a swift and decisive battle!”
“Ahem, in principle, gambling is not allowed in a duel, but today is a special case, so we will make an exception.”
The instructor took the Cold Spirit Iron, seeing that both of them had summoned their pet beasts, he waved his hand to signal the start of the match.
“Let the competition begin!”
As soon as the instructor’s words fell, Alpha turned into a blurring shadow and disappeared. When it reappeared, it already stood atop of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast’s head, its broad filial piety sword pressing against the beast’s skull. It could penetrate the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast’s skull at any time if Alpha desired.
While the Mechanical Beast Control didn’t have the same organ structure as traditional Beast Control, vulnerable parts still existed, namely, the intelligent computer that housed the soul of the Mechanical Beast Control.
Although Bai Qi had never contracted a Mechanical Beast, as a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department, he instantly identified the location of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast’s brain.
Such a close distance, even if the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast’s firepower
was strong, it would be too late to employ.
“This speed, how is this possible!”
Seeing Alpha swiftly overpower his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast, Xia Xuan clearly found it hard to accept. On the other hand, Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng, who had trained with Bai Qi and completed tasks together, were somewhat indifferent.
Seeing the astonished expressions around them, Lu Yuan and Gao Cheng both
felt a bit of disdain rising in their hearts.
It is all about running a bit faster, it’s not a big deal. These people haven’t seen much.
“This speed, can my Wind Demon Wolf catch up?”
Han Wei’s Wind Demon Wolf was also known for its speed. Compared to others, he felt the pressure more directly, but couldn’t help feeling anxious.
However, seeing the frustration and disbelief in Xia Xuan’s eyes, Han Wei’s mood suddenly improved.
Being able to see the young master of the Xia family suffer a loss, this was indeed a huge gain!
