22 Chapter 21: Secret Realm Tower
Translator: 549690339
Due to the uprising at Undead Hill, people in Gusu city were constrained in their movements, save for a necessary few industries and the professional Beast Masters.
As for students like Bai Qi, they were told to stay home and attend online classes.
Can a Beast Master who can’t go out to fight really be called a Beast Master?
Those who just formed a pact to be Beast Masters suddenly became restless.
What, we can train at home?
Alright, I understand.
Within seven days, a bunch of mischievous kids turned their homes upside down, causing their parents endless headaches.
However, this didn’t affect Bai Qi at all, as he could focus on raising his pet beast at home.
Although Bai Qi did not think Gusu City would repeat the calamity of twenty years ago, to be safe, he focused all his energy on training Alpha over the next few days.
As for the Husky, Bai Qi ruthily abandoned it.
Although Bai Qi was interested in the fusion of flesh and machinery, he decided that increasing his own power was presently more urgent, so he wouldn’t be caught off guard if something did happen.
“But how long is this state of affairs going to last?”
!!..
Looking at Alpha, who was still training hard in the yard, and the Husky who was sitting to one side with curiosity, Bai Qi yawned boredly.
The materials in the workshop were all used up, he had nothing to do other than drafting diagrams. Alpha could train by himself, and the only thing Bai Qi could do was to use the Evolution Egg on Alpha.
He was completely treated like a tool.
“Nevermind, let’s just evolve Alpha once more.”
The moment Bai Qi attempted to use the Evolution Egg on Alpha, whose skeletal recovery speed had begun to slow down, a clear broadcast suddenly resonated over Gusu city.
“Attention all citizens, the Undead riot has ended, citizens may gradually return to normal life.”
“Attention all citizens, the Undead riot has ended, citizens may gradually return to normal life.”
“Attention all citizens, the Undead riot has ended, citizens may gradually return to normal life.”
…
Upon hearing the broadcast, all the citizens of Gusu City burst into cheers, the majority of whom were parents exhausted by their mischievous kids.
“It ended so quickly? Was it suppressed by the Federation?”
After hearing the broadcast, Bai Qi immediately put Alpha into his Beast Control Space and rushed towards the Beast Master Association.
When Bai Qi arrived, the front of the Beast Master Association was already packed with people.
It had only been a short week, but the disaster was deeply tied to their personal lives. Not only Bai Qi, following the news of the lifting of restrictions, a crowd flocked to the Beast Master Association to understand the latest developments.
Regarding this situation, the Beast Master Association was well prepared. Multiple big screens at the entrance were continuously playing the current situation at Undead Hill.
On the barren Undead Hill, the Beast Control Corps was methodically cleaning up the battlefield. Above Undead Hill, a valiant man was standing on a gigantic black bird, overseeing below.
“Isn’t that the Legendary Celestial Brilliance?”
Among the Beast Masters present, some recognized the man and were briefly stunned. However, watching the giant tower standing in the center of Undead Hill, their initial astonishment at seeing the Titled Legendary figure was replaced by shock.
It turns out that the Undead creatures inside Undead Hill were moving outside because the Secret Realm Tower had appeared inside.
Though the Federation was established barely a hundred years ago, human Beast Mastery dates back thousands of years, and these Secret Realm Towers are the remnants left by the Legendary Beast Masters and Legendary Pet Beasts of the past.
No wonder the long dormant Undead Hill suddenly erupted. It was because of the Secret Realm Tower.
However, what would the government and the association plan to do?
Soon enough, while everyone was still fascinated by the Secret Realm Tower, another message appeared on the screen.
“The Secret Realm Tower of Gusu City is now open. After consultation between the government and the Beast Master Association, it is decided to open it to apprentice Beast Masters. The harvests belong to the individual and the spots are limited. Interested Beast Masters should register at the association.”
As soon as this message came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
Each Secret Realm Tower represents endless opportunities and wealth, usually controlled by the Federation and the Beast Master Association. Most people present wouldn’t have a chance to access it.
But now, the government had decided to open it to all apprentice Beast Masters, which was unexpected.
However, after hearing this news, Bai Qi smelled something fishy.
A newly discovered Secret Realm Tower, especially in a place like Undead Hill, was being opened to apprentice Beast Masters. It felt like they were being used as cannon fodder.
“Nevermind, let’s sign up first and see.”
Despite some concerns, Bai Qi couldn’t resist the temptation of a Secret Realm Tower.
But the number of people… were too many.
Looking at the sea of heads in front of him, Bai Qi couldn’t help feel a bit overwhelmed.
Indeed, in the face of the temptation of a Secret Realm Tower, almost nobody could resist.
“Looking at this situation, the association should have other testing methods. Otherwise, there would be too many people entering the Secret Realm Tower.”
“The apprentice Beast Masters who can pass the test will significantly enhance their pet beasts’ strength after receiving the rewards from the Secret Realm Tower.”
“The professional assessment in June would become much more competitive.”
For some reason, Bai Qi instinctively thought of Gao Cheng, who had helped him clear the Screaming Mushrooms.
This time, he should be able to pass it, right?
After a long queue, Bai Qi finally registered and also learned about the specific arrangement for this Secret Realm Tower expedition.
Because the Secret Realm Tower had just opened and couldn’t withstand too many people simultaneously, the association decided to send in batches. Hence, all the apprentice Beast Masters who had signed up for the expedition were required to participate in a test, which determined the order they would enter based on their performance.
This was similar to what Bai Qi had anticipated.
“Nevermind, let’s go home and prepare to enter the first batch.”
Looking at the lengthy queue behind him, Bai Qi headed home.
The training and examination for this trip would last three days. Participants had to prepare themselves, especially food and other necessities.
It seems that the leftover compressed food pills could be put to use now.
Thinking about what he should bring for the expedition, Bai Qi quickly arrived home but found his steel training dummy half destroyed by the Husky and shook his head helplessly.
He left in such a hurry that he forgot to lock up this creature. After only half a day, this thing managed to tear apart the steel training dummy.
No, he could not leave this creature at home. Otherwise, when he returns after three days of training, his house would probably be destroyed.
By the way, how did this thing manage to tear apart a steel training dummy? Are Other Realm Huskies all this fierce?
