Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 102 The Arrogant People of the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom (10,000-word update, please subscribe!)

The others sitting in the VIP seats also showed some unusual reactions, but having seen their share of ups and downs, their emotions were not as volatile as Li Guan's.

Li Zhen squinted as he listened to the whispers around him.

This time, Xiaobai did seem to have done his best, but Li Zhen felt that Lin Chen was still hiding something.

Judging from their expressions, they seemed quite relaxed.

"Shall we continue?" the referee asked Li An.

The latter sighed and shook his head when he saw the fallen spirit beast.

Although he knew he would be punished by the Li family when he returned, he also understood that he couldn't win today.

The referee then announced:

[Match 452, Winner: Lin Chen]

As soon as the sound faded, many people applauded in response.

Lin Chen also went up to touch the cow.
The Li family's bloodline should be pretty good, right?

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed just as he had imagined:
[Hidden bloodline: 13.45%]

"It seems the Li family is indeed an expert in selecting cattle." Lin Chen picked it up and praised it to Xiao Bai, while the little fox beside him made loud "coo coo" noises.

With each win, Xiaobai gets one step closer to its dream of winning money.

This is half of the little fox's fortune.

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting to Li An, who returned the gesture. Then Lin Chen signed his name and left the venue with Xiao Bai.

"sorry."

Li An lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Jiuxiao's face.

Li Jiuxiao was basically groomed to be the next head of the family, so he wielded a great deal of power.

“After we go back, our resources will be halved, and we’ll be fighting for more than six hours every day.” Li Jiuxiao was very angry.

Li Guan, who was standing next to him, said, "Jiuxiao, don't be too angry. The opponent's Soul-Suppressing Hoof is at the perfect level. It's normal for him to lose."

After saying that, Li Guan told Li An to leave.

Upon realizing they were saved, the latter naturally didn't linger for a moment.

“Second Uncle, we should be stricter with our direct descendants,” Li Jiuxiao said.

Li Guan was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
Although he is Li Jiuxiao's uncle, strictly speaking, the head of the family is not from his branch of the family, so he can be considered a direct descendant.

But he still managed a smile and said, "This time, your older brother asked you to lead the team to test you. I'm just here to assist you. But as your uncle, I still want to remind you that the competition is the most important thing."

"Black Mountain City invited us because the Wan family wants to take advantage of our influence to take a step forward."

"Our Li family must not lose."

"Don't worry," Li Jiuxiao said. "Wan Ming's strength is decent, but he's no match for the Bone Armored Ox."

"It's good that you know what's going on." Li Guan didn't say anything more.

However, when Li An hurriedly left outside the door, he was stopped by Li Qiuqiu.

"How is it?" Li Qiuqiu is very famous among the direct descendants because she treats people very well.

"It's probably going to be tough going back there," Li An sighed, explaining the punishment.

“I’ll go talk to him.” Li Qiuqiu was about to go in when Li An stopped her, saying, “Sister Qiu, what the Second Patriarch said just now was useless. If you go in, he’ll probably get even angrier.”

"We can't lose the game and then be punished!" Li Qiuqiu said excitedly. "No one in this world can win all the time, not even..."

"Sister Qiu," Li An reminded her nervously, glancing inside.

Li Qiuqiu sighed deeply and ultimately had no choice but to give up.

The start of the qualifying rounds instantly heated up the atmosphere of the competition.

Lin Chen's match didn't garner the most attention; the most-watched match was Dasa's.

His match was on the second day, and this time he was the one who drew Daza, so the pressure was immense.

While we were still in the restaurant, people came up to deliver fruit baskets, flowers, food, and so on, leaving notes that, when translated, all conveyed the same meaning:
"Give that idiot a good beating."

The beast tamer was overjoyed but also felt considerable pressure, and publicly stated that he would definitely take drastic measures.

The result was that he lost. This time, his opponent posed a slight challenge to Daza, but in the end, Daza decisively defeated his opponent and uttered that famous line:

"The bovine spirit beasts of the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom are the best in the world!"

"."

The audience fell silent.

This outcome was unacceptable to them, and they desperately wanted someone to teach this conspicuous person a lesson.

After the match, someone finally spoke up, saying that whoever beat Dasa would get their popularity vote.

Two popular votes are nothing special, but what's interesting is that many people responded together.

On the third day of the qualifying rounds, the competition for the top 64 concluded, and the popularity vote began.

Thanks to Todasa, Li Jiuxiao's popularity soared, and everyone hoped that Li Jiuxiao could meet Todasa.

Therefore, the rankings for the two awards in this round of voting are not significantly different.

On the fifth day, the draw for the top 32 took place, and a large crowd came to watch.

Unfortunately, Dasa drew another "normal" seed, but this one was much stronger than the last one.

This person was naturally put under a lot of "pressure," but he remained much more low-key, only saying that he would do his best.

Lin Chen was also lucky, drawing a character who wasn't particularly strong.

However, during the competition, the beast tamer's spirit beast displayed amazing fighting instincts. Although Xiaobai won, it was forced to use its strongest combination skill in "normal state".

As for Li Jiuxiao, he drew a friend from his own side.

Whether it was to show off his power as the young master or because he couldn't control the force of his attack, the Li family's spirit beast was severely injured and fell into a coma.

The audience, of course, didn't have time to speculate, and all sighed with regret:

"Why didn't Dasa run into him?"

On the seventh day, Dasa's competition began, and it was incredibly popular.

This time, the Beastmaster was much more powerful, suppressing Daza right from the start. The audience was so excited they were practically on steroids, shouting and yelling wildly.

Who would have thought that Daza's spirit beast would break through to level 18 at the crucial moment and "kill" its opponent?

This scene was so intense it almost gave the audience a heart attack.

Finally, Daza once again shouted his classic quote:

"The bovine spirit beasts of the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom are the best in the world!"

"."

The audience fell silent once again.

After the match, some people went to the temple to offer incense, praying that Dasa would meet Li Jiuxiao.

The level of discussion surrounding Dasa also reached its peak in an instant.

"They've already made it to the round of 16, why haven't they 'died' yet?"

"It's such a pity. If it hadn't broken through, we would have definitely won. I was ready to celebrate."

"I would give up ten years of my ex's life to let Dasa meet Li Jiuxiao."

With this, the preliminary rounds have concluded, and the third round of popularity voting has begun.

This time, the number of contestants was halved again, and a huge gap began to appear in the popularity votes.

The first place is still undisputed, with Li Jiuxiao in first place. Wan Ming and Li Qiuqiu are basically tied for second place, and Li Qiuqiu even has a strong chance of overtaking him.

After all, female beast tamers of cattle are rare to begin with, so seeing a woman among a group of men is naturally very eye-catching.

Lin Chen's votes did not fluctuate much, and the growth rate even showed a slight downward trend.

The halo of his previous "verifiable record" has faded, and many people are starting to doubt Lin Chen's chances of advancing to the next round.

Because in the top 16, all of them are spirit beasts at the Spirit Transformation level.

Of the mortal-level spirit beasts, only Lin Chen remains.
