Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 136 The Imperial Preceptor of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom: Luck and Misfortune
As described in the book, the Spirit Academy was incredibly open. Since the entrance exam, only Zhao Li had come to see him once, and no one else had.

Zhao Li told him that once the ranking matches started, Lin Chen would become a hot commodity in the eyes of many people.

According to the ranking system, the level of the spirit beasts of the challenger and the challenged cannot differ by more than two levels.

As for those who initiate the challenge, they only need to switch to the Spirit Academy interface on the guild machine to enter the school mode.

When Lin Chen opened it, he indeed found a large number of people challenging him.

There will always be some people in this world who are not convinced.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. He only needed to play one ranked match per month, so he could take the challenge whenever he wanted.

The most urgent task is to find out the resources of the Spirit Academy.

Lin Chen didn't come here to fight and kill like a beast of burden to earn points; he came here to cultivate.

First, Lin Chen arrived at the first stop:
Lingquan (Spiritual Spring).

The little fox was overjoyed upon hearing this. It couldn't form a contract with Lin Chen yet, and its fastest level-up was at the Spirit Spring.

"Hello, mentor." Lin Chen arrived at the Spirit Spring Management Office and took out his Level 3 Resource Token. The mentor glanced at it, then looked at Lin Chen again, and said, "Very good, a Spirit Ruins Ox, right?"

It seems that many mentors have also noticed that Lin Chen has reached the 37th floor.

This is natural.

Students are assessed based on a points system, and so are their advisors.

According to the rules of the Spirit Academy, if a student's academic performance ranks last among the graduating students each year, the instructor may be demoted.

Although the system at the Spirit Academy is cruel, it has largely prevented some slackers from getting away with things.

"It's a Kui Spirit Ox." Lin Chen was embarrassed, thinking to himself when the Beast Taming Library would update the family tree and give it a separate page.

The instructor didn't say much, but gave Lin Chen a number plate: Spring No. 3117.

When Lin Chen brought Xiaobai and the others to the spring, Xiaobai was still checking the hygiene, but the little fox couldn't wait and plunged in.

A moment later, it poked its head out of the water and made a gurgling sound.

"The effect wasn't as good as last time?" Lin Chen wondered, "It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

He then let Xiaobai go in and try it out. Niu Niu finally finished checking the hygiene and then slowly walked in.

Soon, its head emerged from the water and it mooed.

It means that it's better than the last one.

Lin Chen suddenly understood and said to the little fox, "Last time it was your ancestor's home, which was definitely beneficial to you. This time you won't even be able to advance."

The little fox's smile wasn't as bright after hearing this.

Tento
In the best medical clinic in Tian Shu Pavilion, many doctors walked around, surrounding an old man lying on a bed in the central ward.

His face seemed to be sculpted by time and disaster, full of vicissitudes.

Those wrinkles were like cracked earth, deep and heavy. The skin was as rough as old tree bark, without luster, and full of the marks of time.

In the deep-set eye sockets, a pair of eyes were cloudy and dim, seemingly filled only with endless fatigue and numbness.

Outside the door, a well-dressed middle-aged man stood respectfully, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, the old man spoke up: "Disperse, everyone."

The doctors around him all stared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sighed deeply, then waved his hand, and the doctors left.

They all knew that the old man didn't have long to live.

The old man's words meant that he was giving up on treatment.

The middle-aged man entered the ward and said, "Teacher, if you continue to receive the essence of the phoenix, perhaps you can live a third life."

"No matter how strong the Phoenix's essence blood is, can it compare to the backlash from the Heavenly Dao?" the old man said.

The middle-aged man remained silent.

If an ordinary person constantly talks about the Way of Heaven, they will inevitably be ridiculed.

But the elderly wouldn't.

His level was only around 60, but even the leaders of the major powers in Tiandu had to show him respect.

Simply because of one of his identities:
The Grand Preceptor of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

Strictly speaking, the Cangling Ancient Kingdom is not a country. The Tian Shu Pavilion's responsibility is to unite the power of all major forces.

The word "阁" means cabinet.

Therefore, this country does not have a ruler.

However, this country has a national advisor.

The position of Imperial Advisor is not required to be extremely powerful, capable of anything, or even to be exceptionally intelligent and strategize from afar.

The only requirement is:

Luck.

The elderly man is the second-generation national advisor, named Zhong Nan, and the middle-aged man next to him is his disciple, Zhang Jin. Despite his aged appearance, the old man is actually only eighty years old.

In this world of beast tamers, age is extremely young.
If one knew about the old man's spirit beast, one would know that this age is ridiculously young.

His spirit beast is a dragon.

【Spirit Dragon】

Spirit dragons are not a combat race; they are born solely for the sake of destiny.

Zhong Nan was selected as the national advisor to guide the ancient Cangling Kingdom, but the price he paid was:
Misfortune is plaguing them.

In his first life, he lived to be one hundred years old.

The major powers in Tiandu used all their strength to obtain a large amount of phoenix essence blood to help Zhong Nan live a second life.

This life has arrived twenty years early.

Zhong Nan had a premonition that he wouldn't live much longer.

Not only him, but all the major forces in Tiandu have also begun to work on the matter of the new national advisor.

Currently, the capital city is rife with various powerful forces, making it extremely complex. The crisis is not as severe as it was in the past, so every major force hopes to vie for the position of Grand Preceptor.

Some have even suggested that it could involve divisions from two countries, or even multiple countries.

But only Zhong Nan knew that the people they had chosen were not the chosen ones, even though some of them were contractors of the spirit dragon.

"My time is running out, there's no need for me to continue clinging to the idea of ​​living." Zhong Nan looked at Zhang Jin and said, "Do you blame me for not passing the position of Imperial Preceptor to you?"

"Teacher, you once said that the best national advisor is ordained by Heaven."

“That’s right,” Zhong Nan said bluntly. “You are excellent, but you are not suitable for this position.”

Zhang Jin remained silent.

It's like a girl telling him, "You're great, but we're not a good match."

"I also thought you were the next chosen one back then, until this beast tide broke out."

"The beast tide outbreak has been dealt with."

"My intuition tells me this is just the beginning," Zhong Nan said. "I happened to be ill and on the verge of death when the country suffered such a great calamity. Do you really think it was just an accident?"

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Jin asked.

"Find the next imperial advisor."

How do I find it?

He will appear.

“But,” Zhang Jin pondered for a few seconds and said, “Given the current power of Tiandu, how can an outsider possibly get into this situation?”

“The end of the road doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no road left; it’s just that fewer people have walked on it, and the road has been buried.” Zhong Nan said, “The fortune of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom has not yet run out; it’s just that my fortune has come to an end.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin felt a pang in his heart.

Everyone envied the noble status of the Imperial Advisor in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, but no one expected that this position would bind Zhong Nan for life.

Little White and Little Red went to take a bath, so Little Black had nothing to do.

Its sitting and lifting weights would disturb Xiaobai and the others' meditation, so Lin Chen simply took it to the ley lines.

This earth vein infusion was much hotter than the spiritual spring, and Lin Chen felt very uncomfortable as soon as he entered.

"Little Black, why don't you give it a try?" Lin Chen pointed to the earth veins.

As Xiao Hei walked towards the entrance of the ley line, a surge of air rushed out, almost knocking Xiao Hei, who was as strong as he was, to the ground.

Lin Chen swallowed hard; it looked painful.

Little Black, on the other hand, exclaimed how comfortable it felt and even wanted to stand up again to try it out.

Lin Chen felt ashamed, but he still instructed Xiao Hei not to overexert himself on physical cultivation and to know when to stop.

Over the next few days, Lin Chenlai went back and forth between two places, both of which were private "rooms" with senior brothers on duty to guard them, so he wasn't afraid of anyone deliberately causing trouble.

Five days later, Lin Chen took out the guild machine and switched to Spirit Academy mode, and immediately discovered something strange.

"I remember the first person to challenge me was named Ling Wenle, when did it become Sun Hao?"

Although Lin Chen couldn't remember everything he saw, he did remember the name.

Moreover, the following names are probably not Sun Hao.

The Spirit Academy has a rule that the first person to challenge it each month must accept the challenge.

Therefore, this doesn't mean you can simply choose not to fight.

Lin Chen also knew that he had made a name for himself on the Path to Immortality, and many people were planning to use him as a stepping stone to gain fame in the Spirit Academy.

Now, these people have actually cancelled their challenges?
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."

Lin Chen smelled a different scent.
