Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 135 Luxurious Spiritual Academy Resources

Levels 10 to 20 are one level higher than other levels, and after reaching level 21, the monsters are two levels higher than other levels.

The difficulty has increased again.

After a short rest, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai had already entered the twenty-first floor.

Because these twenty-one levels are divided into two, the difficulty increases dramatically, and each level will have an additional monster.

There are two on each floor.

There are three on the second floor.

Upon reaching the twenty-ninth floor, we arrived at the terrifying nine levels.

Xiao Bai had already needed to activate the Savage Bloodline combat, and was beginning to feel some strain.

"."

Now, Lin Chen truly became the target of everyone's criticism, and only one person was able to reach the 29th step.

That person is currently taking a break at level 29, anxiously fearing that someone will surpass him.

Therefore, when Lin Chen was the second to step into this place, he was unhappy.

He thought he was the leader of the gang here, but he didn't expect there was another leader.

Behind them, Zhao Li stood on the 19th step, looking at Lin Chen in disbelief.

His neighbor is surprisingly fierce.

Seeing Lin Chen enter level 29, yet still showing no sign of stopping, it seemed he was preparing to enter the thirtieth floor.

Everyone was stunned again.
Brother, at least take a rest.

However, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai had already eagerly gone inside.

This time, the Bull Demon King reappeared, this time larger in size, with a larger axe in his hand, and at a higher level, reaching level 23.

Lin Chen remained calm and signaled Xiao Bai to immediately enter its evolved form, activating its savage bloodline and launching an attack.

Who would have thought that the Bull Demon King would also roar angrily.

"Moo~~~"

Immediately afterwards, black smoke emerged from the cow's ears, and a change occurred in an instant.

It transformed into another form.
Its fur was still black, but its horns were gleaming with golden light.

"No way, the Bull Demon King can evolve too?" Lin Chen was dumbfounded and dared not be careless.

Xiao Bai activated his Savage Bloodline and charged into the fray, but the Bull Demon King was truly formidable. After activating his evolved form, he overwhelmed Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was forced to unleash his second-stage savage bloodline.

It stomped out with its Soul-Suppressing Hoof and then charged forward with all its might.

A thousand shadows return to one!

When the fourteen afterimages merged into one, the Bull Demon King was finally defeated.

This time, Xiaobai was panting heavily and finally felt tired.

Lin Chen and Xiao Bai officially entered the thirtieth floor, becoming the "top dog on the leaderboard," which aroused the envy of the students behind them.

"No way, is the Ploughhorn Beast really that powerful?"

"Clearly, his spirit beast must be a mutated species."

"I suspect the difficulty might be related to the species of spirit beasts; the path to immortality might have been tricked by them."

The students below were discussing it amongst themselves. Some were convinced, while others were not and began to make excuses for themselves.

Zhang Daoren was keeping a close eye on Lin Chen, after all, he was just too conspicuous.

As for what the students say, just listen to it and let it go.

Every encounter on the path to immortality is different, but the difficulty is by no means low.

The more talented a person is, the greater the difficulty they will encounter.

It's not that some students get stuck at the ninth level, but after a month of training at the academy, they make great strides and reach the fortieth level.

The reason for limiting it to one day is twofold: firstly, to test potential, and secondly, to test patience.

When he saw Lin Chen and Xiao Bai come out, he was already panting.

Zhang Daoren felt that Lin Chen and Xiao Bai's journey was coming to an end.

Below, Iron Palm Bear and Little Fox were both delighted to see Lin Chen reach the top spot.

If Lin Chen and the others weren't too far away to hear the calls, the little fox, the cheerleader, would have started cheering again.

After a short rest, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai got up again.

This time, no one questioned their ability to get up again.

Soon, they began to ascend to the thirty-first floor.

This time it will last much longer.

Lin Chen and the others lingered for a full ten minutes before finally opening their eyes.

Lin Chen's expression was very bad, and he looked like he wanted to curse.

The level hasn't improved at level 31; it's still level 2.

What's wrong with having thirty-one floors? It's actually...
A psychic monster.

To be honest, Xiaobai's main fighting style is burst damage, and he was tortured quite badly when facing spiritual beasts.

In the end, it was a narrow victory.

To be honest, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai would rather face a monster three levels higher than a monster with spiritual power.

After all, this isn't Xiaobai's forte.

Despite everyone's wishes, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai steadily stepped into the thirty-first level.

At that moment, everyone's spirits died completely.

No need to think about it, the top student with connections is definitely Lin Chen.

"Thirty-one to thirty-nine, they can't all be like that, can they?" Lin Chen asked nervously.

Xiao Bai was also very nervous after hearing this.

Niu Niu is not afraid of hardship or pain.
I'm most afraid of mental torture.

Sure enough, on the thirty-second floor, I encountered someone with mental power as well.

This time, Xiaobai won again with great difficulty.

Therefore, Lin Chen finally slowed down.

Sometimes it takes ten minutes, sometimes it takes half an hour.

Xiao Bai wasn't completely unable to cope, after all, he cultivated his spiritual power every day and also possessed the Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

However, it is really difficult to fight against demonic beasts with spiritual power.

One minute it'll give you a splitting headache, the next it'll give you a hallucination.
The advantage is...

These monsters are instantly killed once Xiaobai gets close.
Lin Chen thought that if it were a combat-type monster three levels higher, Little White should probably be at level thirty-nine by now.

As time went by, many people stopped paying attention to Lin Chen.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

With each additional step I take, I can leave my peers behind and avoid being eliminated so quickly.

After all, they came representing their city this time.

If I go back too early, I'll be laughed at.

As time went by, more than ten hours passed.

Lin Chen and Xiao Bai's steps finally stopped at thirty-six.

"This is the last level. Once we beat it, we'll stop." Lin Chen didn't want Xiaobai to be tortured.

Xiao Bai nodded, and mustered her courage once again.

In fact, Lin Chen could see that Xiao Bai's mental strength had improved significantly in the previous six battles.

However, Qin Shaoshao had once instructed Lin Chen that he should not practice mental strength too much, so mental collapse was especially likely for someone who was not a primary cultivator.

Although Lin Chen knew that if Xiao Bai rubbed against him, he might be able to reach the age of thirty-nine, it was clearly more harmful than beneficial.

By the time you reach thirty-seven, it's about time.

"Let's go." Lin Chen said as he stepped onto the thirty-seventh step.

This time, when Xiaobai opened its eyes, the whole cow was in a bad mood.

The bull's horns trembled as it followed Lin Chen into the thirty-seventh stage.

This caused an uproar among the crowd.

There are two people below Lin Chen, and they are currently on the thirtieth floor.

Twenty-nine floors, eight people.

Twenty floors, thirty people.

The rest are all below the twentieth floor.

But you should know that these people are not weak; most of them are the pride of the city.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten a spot and come here.

However, the vast majority of people remained on the fifteenth or sixteenth floor.

"Fellow students, there are still three hours left," Zhang Daoren said.

Upon hearing the time, everyone held their breath again, preparing to sprint.

Lin Chen took the initiative to ask, "Mentor, is it possible to give up early?"

Master Zhang was taken aback, and his brows furrowed.

Most students will try if they can.

Lin Chen's 37th floor is only two floors away from the highest record. Doesn't he want to give it a try?

Zhang Daoren pointed this out directly, but Lin Chen unexpectedly said, "I'm tired, I can't climb anymore."

"Alright then." Zhang Daoren nodded and said, "You may come down now."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Bai felt as if a great weight had been lifted from its shoulders, and the entire cow instantly felt relieved.

It would rather fight the Bull Demon King for three hundred rounds than torment itself with a spirit-type monster.

Lin Chen and Xiao Bai returned the way they came, and as they passed each step, everyone was speechless with envy.

Some people sighed, feeling that Lin Chen's early rest was just showing off, but they couldn't refute it. After all, he had the ability.

He is now ranked first among the freshmen.

Lin Chen and Xiao Bai returned to the ground. The little fox leaped up and landed directly on Xiao Bai's head, then started cooing.

Iron-Palm Bear was also curious and asked what was inside, roaring loudly.

The little white calf answered them with a bellow, and immediately chaos ensued.

At this moment, Zhang Daoren walked over and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"It gets harder as you go on," Lin Chen said.

"The path to immortality is the same as cultivation. If you have the enlightenment, it is not difficult to ascend."

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and asked:

"May I ask, mentor, has anyone climbed to the hundredth step?"

"Of course there is."

"What good would it do to get to the top?"

“Those who ascend to the highest level will generally be able to become immortal beasts,” Zhang Daoren said. “Therefore, a high starting point does not necessarily mean a high ending point. The way of beast taming emphasizes being down-to-earth.”

Lin Chen was surprised.

Mythical beasts are no joke.

"This is your student ID card." Zhang Daoren handed it to Lin Chen, on which was written the number three.

Simply put, Lin Chen is currently a level three resource card.

“The Spirit Academy doesn’t have many rules. They’re all recorded in the Spirit Academy handbook in your dormitory, or you can ask your senior brothers and sisters. They’ll be happy to answer. If you’re really tired, go back and rest,” Zhang Daoren said.

Lin Chen bowed, thanked him, and left.

Zhang Daoren kept staring at Lin Chen's back, thinking to himself, "When did the Spirit Ruins Bull become so powerful?"

Lin Chen returned to the dormitory, and Xiao Bai quickly washed up and fell into a deep sleep.

After a long day of fighting, I'm really exhausted.

Lin Chen was alright, but he also slept for a while.

When I woke up, I saw the little fox nestled on Iron Paw Bear's head, fast asleep.

Iron Paw Bear stared wide-eyed, not daring to move an inch. It slept little, and the sound of its iron-lifting was too loud, lest it wake up Little White, who was sleeping soundly.

Lin Chen took the little fox off its head and put it on the cow's belly. Little White opened its eyes groggily, saw that it was Little Red, and immediately fell into a deep sleep again.

Lin Chen picked up the book and gestured for Iron Palm Bear to take Iron to the yard for training.

Before long, Iron Paw Bear started lifting iron. At present, it can only strengthen its body and has little use in cultivating its beast strength.

This is also what Lin Chen hoped for.

After the laws evolve, the strength of the physical body becomes extremely important.

However, too much iron training is not good, so Lin Chen joked, "Little Black, you have so much free time now, why don't you read more books?"

Little Black stood there dumbfounded, wondering what use it was for a spirit beast to learn knowledge.
"Even if we don't learn knowledge, it would be good to learn tactics," Lin Chen said.

"Roar~~"

The little black bear barked, as if to say, "Isn't having you enough?"
Lin Chen said, "When several spirit beasts fight at the same time, I can't possibly take care of them all. Of the three spirit beasts, I think you have the best brain."

He said these words to both Xiaobai and Xiaohong.
The initially insecure polar bear scratched its head, indicating it was willing to give it a try.

Lin Chen handed it a book, and Xiao Hei picked it up and quickly became engrossed in reading it.
Then it fell fast asleep.

well.

Sleep soundly.

Lin Chen gave up; this little black guy wasn't cut out for studying.

He picked up the Spirit House Handbook and began to read it.

The core of the Spirit Academy is its resource levels, which correspond to nine levels:

Level 1: Spirit Spring Bathing, similar to the previous secret realms in the inner courtyard.

However, this spiritual academy is available year-round; once you enter, you can go whenever you want.

"Luxury." Lin Chen's mouth watered at the thought.

This is the thing that Little Fox, the leveling-up expert, loves the most.

As for Beast Spirit Pills, Tranquilizing Pills, and the like, you can collect some of each, but the quantity is not large.

The second level adds another element to the bathing in the spiritual spring: the infusion of spiritual energy from the earth's veins.

This is for strengthening the physical body; Little Black and Little White should like it quite a bit, especially the former.

As for Xiaobai, he pursues a more well-rounded development.

The variety and quantity of elixirs have increased.

Level 3: Tribulation of Thunder Cleansing.

This piqued Lin Chen's interest.

Lightning tribulations are not uncommon in the world of beast taming; in some places, thunder strikes every day. As for the reason, there is currently no scientific explanation.

Su Yu's Thunder-Patterned Beast is a product born from a lightning tribulation.

Lin Chen felt that this was similar to playing the lute to a cow.

Level 4: The rewards are upgraded, the Spirit Spring Bath level is higher, and you can obtain one safe secret realm exploration.

Level 5: The levels of the first three levels are collectively upgraded, the number of times you can explore secret realms increases, and you can enjoy one-on-one guidance from a mentor.

Level 6: You can enter the academy's medicinal herb vault and select three items.

The label for level seven is a bit strange; it simply states: "Receive one Spirit Academy resource pack."

Levels 8 and 9 simply refer to consulting with mentors or leaders.

Upgrading resource cards is a complicated matter.

Simply put, it can be considered a point system.

Upon entering the Spirit Academy, an entrance test was conducted, and a level token was awarded based on the location. This is equivalent to Lin Chen's current score of thirty points.

If Lin Chen reaches level 40, he will be able to obtain a level 4 resource token.

But there are many more ways to obtain it than the Ascension Path.

There are also ranked matches, war chess games, secret realm exploration, accepting Spirit Academy missions, and more.

Each one can add different amounts of points.

Points are reset to a ten-digit number every month.

In other words, if you score 39 points and fail to advance by the end of the month, you will be demoted to 30 points and start over.

Although the Spirit Academy is open, it also has a set task: the ranking competition.

The so-called ranking is like a tournament.

Each month, students must participate in a challenge match to retain their points.

Students with lower resource levels can challenge students with higher resource levels, and they will receive corresponding points if they win.

For example, if Lin Chen challenges a level four student and wins, he will receive four points.

But if Lin Chen loses, he will lose three points.

However, while students with higher resource levels can also engage in battles against students with lower resource levels, they do not receive any points for winning; instead, they suffer double the penalty for losing.

To prevent students from cheating to gain points, each ranking match is monitored by referees who carefully check whether the students have tried their best.

Once identified as an "actor," benefits will be suspended for three months.

In addition, to encourage students to actively earn points, the bottom third of students in each level each month will be moved to the next level.

As for first-level students, if they rank at the bottom for more than two months, their Spirit Academy qualification will be revoked.

That is.
drop out.

After reading it, Lin Chen remained silent for a long time.

It is clear that the resources of the Spirit Academy are indeed powerful.

But this system...
It's somewhat similar to the system of a cattle and horse company.

After completing his mission, Zhang Daoren returned to Mentor Peak.

When I landed midway, someone shouted at me.

The one who shouted was named Liu Gu, a middle-aged man with a big beard and a somewhat unkempt appearance. He was also one of the mentors, and his mentor qualifications were even one level higher than Zhang Daoren's.

This excellent mentor was singled out by the academy this year to take on a "useless" disciple.

This disciple, needless to say, is Bai Ling.

"Did you find anything?" Liu Gu asked.

"The specially recruited students are of varying abilities, and it's indeed difficult to find one who stands out. However, there is one who is quite good," Zhang Daoren said. "He spent more than ten hours climbing the 37 steps."

“37?!” Liu Gu was also extremely surprised.

This is an extremely outstanding achievement.

However, they will continue to investigate, because a high starting point does not necessarily mean a high finish line.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Daoren left.

Liu Gu was about to turn around when he saw Bai Ling behind him.

"Teacher, what is the Path to Immortality? Is it an entrance exam?"

"Exactly."

"Can I give it a try?"

“You’re already an inner disciple, you don’t need to go.” Liu Gu said, feeling embarrassed.

After spending a few days with Bai Ling, he went from initially disliking her to gradually accepting her.

Bai Ling is clever but naive, a result of her long-term lack of worldly experience. Therefore, Liu Gu looks at her like a daughter.

Liu Gu often comforted himself, saying that he had raised many geniuses over the years, so it wouldn't be bad to try raising a "useless" one.

It's hard to say that Bai Ling will be useless in the future, after all, we don't know how strong that fighting chicken will be in the future.

But Bai Ling now is absolutely useless.

Thinking of this, Liu Gu said to her very seriously, "Your talent is absolutely beyond doubt, otherwise you wouldn't have become an inner disciple."
