Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Skeleton Manipulation
Translator: 549690339
Luckily, Alpha hadn’t used too much force, so Bai Qiucha quickly regained consciousness. He touched the slightly swollen back of his head and looked out in astonishment.
Bai Qi walked somewhat awkwardly over to Bai Qiucha, noting the angry stares from a group of stewards and attendants. He gave a bashful smile and said, “Well, my pet evolved from a skeleton soldier, so it might have developed some strange attack habits. Are you okay?”
Bai Qiucha pushed away the towel offered by a steward, wiped his face, and said, “I’m fine, it’s my fault for being careless.”
It’s good that he was fine. If something happened, Bai Qi doubted he would be able to leave this door today.
Bai Qi glanced at the furious female attendants, feeling slightly terrified.
This shouldn’t end up on the internet, or else he could only leave his house at noon from now on…
“I now understand why my father took an interest in you. The pet you trained is indeed very strong.”
Bai Qiucha looked at the notch in his dragon bone sword and said, “But your level is too low. It’s not fun to fight. Wait till you get to the third stage, then we can have a game where everyone goes all out!”
Well, he hadn’t had the second stage for long, and now he wanted him at the third stage. He must have a high opinion of him.
But as the other party cordially invited him, it would be rude for Bai Qi to refuse. After chatting nonsense with Bai Qiucha for a while, he got home with the help of the steward.
“It’s okay to drop me off here. Thank you.”
“All right.”
The steward nodded, got out of the car to open the door for Bai Qi, causing him to be a little taken aback.
Old Qin seemed to have mentioned that the Bai family was an old family in the association. It seemed just like that.
The steward turned around and said, “Well, Young Master Bai, I won’t send you any further.”
“Um, you can just call me Bai Qi.”
Hearing the steward refer to him that way, Bai Qi felt somewhat unable to shoulder the burden.
“You’re a friend of the young master. If you’re free in the future, you can come and chat with our young master more often.”
Um, it seems like you’ve misunderstood something?
“I don’t think that’s appropriate.”
Since the Skeleton Dragon was already a done deed, considering the attitude of those female attendants towards him today, Bai Qi didn’t really want to get involved too much with Bai Qiucha.
There was no benefit in riding on someone else’s coattails.
“The young master doesn’t have many friends. It’s rare to see someone like you who dares to ignore the old master’s legendary title. I’m very relieved that the young master can make a friend like you, so there’s no need for you to be polite.”
This wasn’t about being polite. He just wanted to live a little longer. Also, was this supposed to be a compliment?
Bai Qi muttered to himself, unable to refute the steward’s words, so he just nodded in acquiescence.
Seeing Bai Qi’s agreement, the steward smiled and drove away.
Living the life of the eldest son of this family doesn’t seem to be that easy either.”
Bai Qi shrugged, sent the Husky back to the studio to sort out the new guide, and then went back to his room to prepare the Evolution Egg for Alpha.
Even though he had won by a sneak attack against Bai Qiucha just now, Alpha had also suffered some injuries. He could faintly see scorched traces from the Bone-breaking Reformation.
“I hope there’s no ill aftereffects.”
Bai Qi connected his mind to the Evolution Egg, suddenly feeling a rapid depletion of his energy. Drinking the prepared God’s Water didn’t help either.
Is it going to racially evolve? But it shouldn’t!”
Bai Qi struggled up, drank several bottles of God’s Water, and finally felt a little better. He didn’t feel like resting any more, and just sat there quietly waiting for Alpha to hatch.
Finally, Alpha broke out of his shell again, still looking the same as before without any major changes.
“Did the Evolution Egg go wrong, or am I deluding myself?”
Bai Qi placed his hand on Alpha’s head, beginning to check his status.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice Clan, Undead Department
[Level of Growth]: First Stage Eighth Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Race Skills]: Skeleton Manipulation (Beginner), Ice Sword Slash (Proficient),
Shadow Lotus Skill (Proficient), Ice Armour (Proficient)
[Energy Value]: 13000
[Condition]: Evolvable
How did it lose two skills?!
Bai Qi shook his head, thinking he was seeing things due to dizziness, but the result remained the same.
“Skeleton Manipulation? Could two skills have fused into one?”
Considering the lesson learned from the Shadow Lotus Skill, Bai Qi came up with an explanation and then opened the handbook to look it up.
[Skill Name]: Skeleton Manipulation
[Skill Introduction]: a High-level ability of the Skeleton Rune, allows you to freely control bones for change and enhancement.
Unbelievably, it managed to fuse a high-tier skill; what a big surprise!
Seeing Alpha gain a high-tier skill out of nowhere, Bai Qi was quite taken aback and then took Alpha to the yard to test the effect.
“Alpha, use Skeleton Manipulation.”
Crack crack.
Alpha tilted his head, seeming to also be adapting to this new skill. Then, its right hand quickly twisted and transformed into a Bone Blade, and then again into a long spear.
Is this what Skeleton Manipulation is like? It seems similar to Bai Qiucha’s skill!
Did it really steal it?!
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, and he watched as Alpha suddenly plunged his hands into the ground, and white bone spikes emerged from the soil, instantly turning the yard into a beehive.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qi was dumbfounded and looked at Alpha, not sure what to think.
Even osteo hyperplasia isn’t this exaggerated.
Also, Alpha, are you sure your surname wasn’t Night in your previous life?
Awoo?
(What happened?)
The Husky, having noticed the commotion, also came out of the workshop and
was somewhat dumbfounded looking at the badly damaged yard.
Didn’t we agree not to demolish the house?
Bai Qi ignored the Husky and said to Alpha, “Alpha, can you throw your finger bones like darts, like this…”
Crack crack.
(I’ll try.)
Alpha, seemingly understanding what was being asked, nodded and quickly pulled his arms back to their original state, then tried it out as Bai Qi had instructed.
The finger bones did indeed fly out, but their power was rather disappointing; throwing a stone would have done more damage.
“I guess I was overthinking.”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi lost some interest. However, this in no way detracted from his happiness over Alpha acquiring a high-level skill.
Since one was able to fuse, a second one surely could. As for the pattern, it’s unclear at the moment.
Bone-breaking Reformation and Steel Skeleton were both at perfect levels of familiarity; perhaps it has to do with level of familiarity.
Bai Qi glanced at the still proficient Ice Sword Slash and Ice Armour and directly set up the next training plan.
“However, fusing two lower-tier skills into one high-level skill, isn’t that a bit too much? Is the Evolution Egg that buggy? Or did I miss something?”
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, not noticing a piece of bone fragment with a distinct color embedded on Alpha’s spine..
