Chapter 510: Chapter 505: The Chosen Youngster~

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to Zhuge Chen, who stood firm and explained, “Bond Curse Marks probably don’t simply emerge. There must be certain conditions fulfilled.”

As he spoke, Zhuge Chen patted Garulu’s head, “I didn’t feel anything before, but now, through this curse mark, I can clearly sense what the strongest bond between Garulu and me really is.”

“Friendship. Yes, it was friendship that facilitated the formation of this curse mark between me and Garulu.”

“Friendship? What the hell, did I just step into the digital world?”

Hearing what Zhuge Chen said, Bai Qi nearly choked on his own spit. He looked at the blue curse mark in Zhuge Chen’s hand as if he had seen a ghost.

Initially, when he created the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine, it was just for his own amusement. Little did he expect that the World Will actually took it seriously.

Friendship curse mark? Would there also be courage and love curse marks?

Unlike Bai Qi’s critique, everyone else took the issue very seriously. They asked: “So, you’re saying that unless there’s a strong bond with the pet beast, it’s impossible to trigger this curse mark?”

“From the information I gathered, it seems so,” Zhuge Chen confirmed. He then summoned the Dragon Cub Beast and explained, “Moreover, different beasts seem to need different bond curse marks. I tried it; the friendship curse mark has no effect on the Dragon Cub Beast.”

“I see. So, can you trigger a new curse mark?” Luo Xiang asked right away.

“I can’t. I’ve tried it, and it’s just the most typical leap evolution.”

Everyone understood upon hearing this. Then, Bai Heguang turned to President Qin and said, “President, please investigate how many people have awakened the Bond Curse Mark. If possible, it’s best to control it within the Association as soon as possible.”

Although Zhuge Chen was able to trigger this situation because Bai Qi used a whole new Leap Evolution Framework, it could very well awaken some more as the World Will had taken notice. There is a high possibility of autonomous awakening.

The combat power of Garulu after Bond Evolution had already been tested. Although there were only a few short minutes, its combat power was significantly stronger than that of Leap Evolution.

In other words, once the World Will, Gaia approved the Bond Evolution, the status of the Spirit Controller aligned with that of the Beast Master in a true sense.

“Relax, I’ve already sent someone to investigate. I’ve also informed the headquarters. However, with Snare’s help, the Thirteenth Bureau may find the answer faster than us,” President Qin reassured.

“No problem, as long as we’re not left behind. If I’m not wrong, Bond Curse Marks will be widespread soon, just like beast master talent,” Bai Heguang expressed without expressing any worry.

The emergence of Beast Masters wasn’t abrupt, and Spirit Controllers would be no exception. However, they needed to find out the specifics of the Bond Curse Mark as early as possible.

“Bai Qi, stick around afterwards and research alongside Zhuge Chen on how to trigger the Bond Curse Marks,” Bai Heguang directed Bai Qi, “If possible, don’t publicly disclose your new evolution structure just yet.”

“I understand.”

The Bond Evolution was initiated because of his design. Even if there were a few autonomous awakenings, but if they popularize the Bond Evolution framework, the Bond Curse Mark may appear in large quantities.

Disclosing it without adequate understanding would undoubtedly invite unnecessary trouble.

“I’ll go to the Western Region to keep an eye on the tribal situation. If there’s any movement, I’ll contact you all immediately,” Bai Heguang said as he stood up.

“Then I’ll go to the other side to keep watch. Although sufficient bonds are needed for birth, those Beast Soul Warriors may also meet the requirements,” Luo Xiang shrugged. Everyone’s faces sank at Luo Xiang’s observation.

Certainly, Beast Soul Warriors were born from the acceptance of Ferocious Beasts from the bottom of their hearts. If we were to talk about bonds, it seemed to fulfill the requirements from one perspective.

“Thank you for your hard work,”

President Qin nodded his head and saw them off. Once again, he returned to Bai Qi’s side and told him, “Bai Qi, you should also make good use of time. If you can figure out how to stably trigger the Bond Curse Mark, humans can defeat the tribes in one fell swoop!”

With the combination of Leap Evolution and Bond Evolution, as long as we train Spirit Controllers properly, they could quickly make up for the lack of Human Beast Tamers. The tribal advantage would gradually diminish.

At that time, humans may not need to live in such a frightened state.

“I understand.”

Bai Qi nodded his head, then together with Zhuge Chen, once again entered the Secret Prairie World.

President Qin looked out of the window at the seven-color clouds still drifting outside, pondering deeply.

“From today, the situation in the Federation is going to change again.”

…

Thirteenth Bureau.

Yi Yu put a report in front of Wang Jian and said, “Director, it’s basically confirmed that the trigger for the awakening of the World Will is the Super God Evolution Research Institute. As for the exact reason, I’m guessing it might be related to the strange curse marks awakened by some Spirit Controllers.”

“Spirit Controller Awakening? History is always eerily repetitive.”

Wang Jian nodded slightly, “Anything happening on the Association’s side?”

“Snare detected that the Association has started to search enthusiastically for Spirit Controllers who have awakened this special mark. I tried to arrange things timely, but most of the Spirit Controllers were still found by the Association,” Yi Yu paused, “Director, do you think this might be related to what I prophesied earlier?”

“It most likely is. The chosen teenager… I assume it’s Bai Qi again?”

Wang Jian smiled, “Immediately get in touch with the Association and the Super God Evolution Research Institute. We’ve lost the initiative. We cannot afford to miss the next steps.”

“Yes!”

…

The awakening of the World Will caused a huge uproar in the Federation.

The end of the world, treasures coming into existence, the awakening of mythical creatures…

All kinds of strange and peculiar rumors were freely circulating on the internet, but no one connected them to Spirit Controllers.

The Internet, it was always under the control of Snare.

Yet, behind the Internet, the gaze of some informed individuals turned towards Gusu City, the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

The first place where abnormalities appeared.

“Brother Zhuge, you’ve been hiding things from us. Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Liu Bei pretended to be impatient and asked.

“Don’t even mention you, even Bai Qi had no idea this would happen.”

Zhuge Xu gave a bitter smile and said, “To tell you the truth, if you came a little later, I probably would not have been able to tell you.”

“Did the Thirteenth Bureau send a message?”

Cao Bin immediately reacted and asked.

“Right after I finished speaking with you, a call from the Thirteenth Bureau came in. Without any surprise, they should be here soon.”

Zhuge Xu shrugged and said, “So it’s best if we keep this within this room for now, until the Thirteenth Bureau, the Association, and our Super God Evolution Research Institute reach an agreement.”

“Understood.”

Cao Bin nodded and asked, “What about Bai Qi?”

“Bai Qi? He’s currently researching with Zhuge Chen, he probably won’t be coming out any time soon.”

Zhuge Xu shook his head and said, “That’s even better, it will let him avoid the spotlight. This kid has become too famous recently.”

“Indeed, but I am really looking forward to seeing him soon. The Bond Curse Mark, it’s truly exciting.”

…

The Prairie Secret Realm.

Zhuge Chen was excited. Looking at the red Curse Mark quietly rotating on the screen of the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine, he asked, “Bai Qi, how did you know that the Dragon Cub Beast would have the Courage Curse Mark?”

“Hehe ~ Can I not know? It’s so obvious from the color.”

Bai Qi chuckled. Red for courage, blue for wisdom, these signs were already universally recognized.

“So that’s how it is. Did the World Will tell you that?”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen suddenly realized, “But this Curse Mark is really magical. It can even be transferred between different Digital Tyrannosaurus Machines.”

“It’s within expectations. After all, the Bond Curse Mark was born from you and your pet beast. The Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine is just a carrier.”

Bai Qi shrugged and said, “But it’s good this way. We don’t have to worry about the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine being stolen and the Bond Curse Mark disappearing. We also don’t need to carry a pile of Digital Tyrannosaurus Machines around anymore.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Zhuge Chen nodded. Having the World Will as your anti-theft system, what could be safer than that?

Bai Qi opened his smart-brain. Looking at the case President Qin sent him about wild Spirit Controllers awakening the Bond Curse Mark, he said, “It seems that the chances of spontaneously awakening the Bond Curse Mark are very low. It seems that in addition to the bond between the Spirit Controller and the beast, an individual’s own talents are also very important.”

Zhuge Chen nodded. Although he was the first Spirit Controller to awaken the Bond Curse Mark, he also relied on Bai Qi’s new Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine.

Those who could spontaneously awaken would probably become formidable figures amongst Spirit Controllers in the future, wouldn’t they?

“Coincidentally, Tang Qi, who you had your final battle with in the Spirit Controller competition, has also been found by the Association. It seems that he is willing to join the Association and participate in research.”

Bai Qi flipped through the list. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and said.

“Tang Qi? That mutant Pyroar?”

As his first battle in the competition, Zhuge Chen naturally remembered it well. If it wasn’t for the Rune Mechanical Armour, he definitely wouldn’t have been Tang Qi’s match.

“That’s right, he spontaneously awakened the Bond Curse Mark, and from the sounds of the description, it seems to be a Courage Curse Mark as well.”

Bai Qi laughed and said, “How about it, are you interested in having another match with him? It might help you.”

“Absolutely!”

Zhuge Chen nodded repeatedly. The awakening of the Bond Curse Mark had completely filled his previous deficiency. What he wanted to do now was obviously to have a thoroughly satisfying fight.

Of course, Bai Qi could also join him, but as for getting beaten up, Zhuge Chen wasn’t really interested.

“Then let’s go. I’ll contact the president to arrange it, and by the way, test the battle power of the Spirit Controller.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, suddenly remembering something.

“Speaking of which, I wonder how Cha is doing. The Bond Curse Mark of Spirit Controllers and the talent of Beast Masters should be two different systems. There shouldn’t be any conflict, right?”

…

Bai Manor.

Bai Qiucha looked dumbfounded at the blue Curse Mark on the screen of the Digital Tyrannosaurus Machine, then looked at the Fierce Thunder Rat nestling against his thigh. He was somewhat puzzled.

“Is this what Bai Qi and the others call the Bond Curse Mark? Why do I have it too?”
