Bai Qi’s Home.

The boss directed two pets to carry the damaged steel training dummy into Bai Qi’s yard, saying cheerfully, “With shipping included, this steel dummy will be 1300 Federal Coins.”

Hearing the boss’s price, Bai Qi confirmed even more that he had been ripped off, especially when he saw the “bonus” repair materials given by the boss, he was even more sure of it.

However, it had come to this, and he felt it wouldn’t be right to haggle with the boss anymore. He could only silently keep this loss in his heart.

Bai Qi watched the boss leave, and after some rummaging in front of the living room television, he summoned Alpha.

As his previous fight had been forcibly interrupted, Alpha seemed a little disoriented. His small head stared curiously at Bai Qi.

Gulu, Gulu.

(Master, why didn’t you let me finish fighting him?)

Bai Qi patted Alpha’s head, saying, “There were too many people, we need to develop low-key, otherwise we’ll be targeted… ahem, let’s just say it would be easier for others to target us.”

Alpha appeared to understand, but he seemed to accept Bai Qi’s opinion.

His master seemed smarter than him, so he must be right to listen to him.

“However, today’s happenings have reminded me. You indeed need to learn some fighting skills detached from your abilities. Otherwise, you’ll truly waste your super speed.”

Bai Qi switched on the television, clicked the hot fighting films recently, then set it to auto switch, and made Alpha sit in front of the television.

“Your task now is to watch TV, learn how people fight. I’ll go and fix the steel training dummy.”

After finishing his words, Bai Qi rushed into the workshop without looking back. He carried a bunch of tools in front of the old steel training dummy and began to dissemble it.

The steel training dummy was damaged in many places. No wonder the boss had given just a tenth of its price. If you hired a professional to repair it, the cost might be even bigger than buying a new one.

Bai Qi was very sure that the boss had made a big profit, but for Bai Qi himself, it wasn’t a loss.

After all, he was a high-talented student in machinery and martial studies; he could fix this kind of problem.

Besides, it even helped him for modifications.

…

Evening.

Bai Qi finally finished repairing the last part. Looking at the steel training dummy, which was good as new, in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.

“Let’s try it out first.”

Bai Qi turned on the power, and the steel training dummy was activated immediately. It began to rotate in different sections at different speeds. The metal rods firmly embedded in it produced a kind of whistling sound, indicating you shouldn’t touch it casually.

Most importantly, spikes would occasionally spring out from the seemingly smooth cylinder, catching you off guard.

Bai Qi pressed the remote control in his hand and the rhythm of the steel training dummy changed again. In the end, the speed of its rotation surpassed Bai Qi’s handling ability, making it impossible to see the shape of the metal rod clearly, just like a chainsaw.

“Good, just as I anticipated.”

Satisfied with how things turned out, Bai Qi nodded and turned off the steel training dummy, then he ran back to the house planning to let Alpha try it out.

“I want to fight ten of them!”

Just as Bai Qi entered the living room, he heard a murderous roar. Alpha on the opposite side stared blankly at the screen. Only the soul fire jumping in his eyes showed Alpha’s current mood.

“Are you watching ‘Ye Da’?”

Ye Da and his pet beast merged on the screen at the moment. After that, they defeated an enemy whose number was ten times theirs, with a simple and clear fist technique.

Beast masters with fusion talent could enjoy fighting themselves.

“Just right, he also practices with a dummy. However, he uses a wooden dummy, while you use a steel dummy. As long as you train well, you can achieve the same level as him.”

Bai Qi pressed pause and led Alpha to the yard, saying, “From now on, you will train with this. If it works well, we won’t need to spend money at the Beast Master Association.”

Alpha nodded as if he sort of understood. Looking at the steel training dummy before him, he made a solemn gesture to the steel dummy, imitating the moves in the movie, and then launched an attack.

Judging by the moves, they were strikingly similar to Ye Da’s moves.

It really works!

Bai Qi smirked and pressed the button. The steel training dummy started to rotate again, but not as fast as before.

The original steel training dummy divided into several movable sections. However, Bai Qi installed a rotation device inside and set different modes so that Alpha could gradually adapt to the training.

Taking into consideration that this was the first time Alpha was using it, Bai Qi started with the first stage.

Surely enough, although the rotative steel training dummy took Alpha by surprise, Alpha quickly adapted to the rhythm using his super speed and the experience from fighting the Braced Frog. His moves were leisurely and comfortable.

Upon seeing this, without any hesitation, Bai Qi initiated the second stage. The speed of the steel training dummy doubled, making Alpha a bit uncomfortable. Eventually, a metal spike that shot out suddenly broke his arm.

However, Alpha quickly recovered using the Bone-breaking Reformation, returned to the steel training dummy to continue training, and then his arm was broken again. This cycle continued. It was much harder than fighting the Braced Frog.

To gain maximum effect, Bai Qi had purposely set the rotation of the dummy to random.

Which means, even Bai Qi, the designer himself, wouldn’t know how the rotation speed of the steel training dummy would change, or when the metal spikes would shoot out.

The purpose of this was to make Alpha adapt to all kinds of emergency situations.

Just like when the Braced Frog got serious, attacked with different moves using its four arms. Alpha clearly struggled; this was also why Bai Qi didn’t want to continue.

After all, no one wants others to see all their trump cards, right?

Of course, it wouldn’t matter if the training doesn’t work out, as long as Alpha could completely absorb the residual energy of the Evolution Egg.

If this plan works, then he would be able to arrange time more rationally in the future, maximizing the efficacy of the Evolution Egg.

Looking at Alpha, who was constantly fighting with the steel training dummy, Bai Qi had no intention to stop. He ran back to the workshop and started to sketch on paper.

Inspired by Shi Yong, all sorts of inspirations kept popping out of Bai Qi’s mind. If it weren’t for poverty limiting his creativity, Bai Qi was confident that he would design a whole set of training devices for Alpha now.

If possible, he would find some professional martial fighting videos later. Maybe Alpha could learn something from them.

How about Yong Dong, Nine Strong Fist, Lonely Nine Swords, Returning Spirit, Cutting Heaven Sword Technique…

And so on.

A martial artist called Alpha, it doesn’t sound bad just thinking about it.
