Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 137 First Battle of the Evolved Form

The next day, when Lin Chen went back to his dormitory to get his things, he ran into Zhao Li.

Zhao Li and Lin Chen have different styles of doing things. Zhao Li likes to socialize, so he can get a lot of information in the courtyard.

"You mean this?" Zhao Li laughed out loud upon hearing this, and said, "Do you know who Sun Hao is?"

Lin Chen shook his head.

"The one who climbed the thirty-three steps on the path to immortality was officially admitted."

Lin Chen immediately understood that this person couldn't stand seeing his talents overshadowed and intended to take the lead.

"How did he do that?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

“This Sun Hao comes from a prominent family in Tiandu; he’s got plenty of money,” Zhao Li said.

After hearing this, Lin Chen sighed.

“You don’t need to be surprised, this is just how the world of the rich is.” Zhao Li thought Lin Chen was surprised, but Lin Chen said, “If you had just told me to give you the money, I would have just fought with him.”

"."

Zhao Li was speechless, then continued, "This is different."

"Why is it different?"

“Official ranking matches are recorded. If he beats you, he not only wins points, but you will also advance further in the selection of mentors.”

Lin Chen suddenly understood after hearing this.

Actually, Lin Chen didn't value his mentor that much, but there was one thing he remembered about the rewards for the later levels.

That is:
Lingyuan Pharmacy.

After experiencing his first evolution, Lin Chen realized just how expensive evolution is.

If the materials used by a novice are this good for their first time, they certainly can't be bad in the future.

Making money isn't difficult, but the problem is...
Many evolution materials cannot be bought outside.

For example, the Heart of the Bull King is worth ten million, but if you go out and try to buy it with ten million, nobody will pay any attention to you.

This is called resource monopoly.

Those who collect the "Heart of the Bull King" don't need your ten million at all.

Only the poor would sell this kind of material.

Therefore, Lin Chen's first target was the evolutionary medicinal materials in the Spirit Academy's medicine storehouse.

Lin Chen thought for a moment, and finally said seriously, "I thought Sun Hao just wanted to be a pimp, but I didn't expect him to have so many ulterior motives. He really deserves to be beaten."

Sun Hao.

The young master of the Sun family in Tiandu is a level 9 Beast Tamer, and his first spirit beast is one level higher than Lin Chen's.

Just as Zhao Li said, Sun Hao became somewhat anxious when he learned that someone had surpassed him in the quota of people with connections.

When he arrived, Sun Hao thought that Ling Academy was full of hidden talents and that he wouldn't be able to get first place.

Who would have thought that he would win first place?

As young people, they are naturally full of vigor and ambition.

But later I learned that among the slots for people with connections, there were actually people who surpassed me.

This immediately sparked a lot of discussion.

Many students among the official candidates expressed their hope that Sun Hao would challenge him.

Although Sun Hao was somewhat forced into this situation, deep down he also hoped to suppress Lin Chen and gain the upper hand.

After all, he had a plan.

In the first year of entering the academy, one must gain the favor of the mentor and successfully become a disciple.

Lin Chen remained silent for a long time; could it be that he was afraid of the battle?

Sun Hao has high expectations for this battle.

Lin Chen's ability to reach the thirty-seventh step demonstrates his formidable strength.

However, Sun Hao had also inquired about Lin Chen's spirit beast, which was named the Spirit Void Ox.

Sun Hao immediately calmed down.
Because his spirit beast is the nemesis of the spirit type.

Therefore, defeating Lin Chen shouldn't be too difficult.

Lin Chen didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking, but he wasn't in a hurry.

As the level increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for newbies to level up.

However, the effects of this spiritual spring are indeed excellent. Although it is only a first-class spring, its effects are even better than those of the annual spring in the inner courtyard.

What's even more outrageous is that it's been provided for a long time.

No wonder everyone says that once you enter the Spirit Academy, even a pig can take flight.

Although it may be somewhat insulting to mythical creatures like pigs, it is the truth.

Leveling up while sitting in this spiritual spring is practically like having a cheat code.

Five days later, Xiaobai finally told Lin Chen that it seemed to be hitting a bottleneck.

Lin Chen then said, "Then let's break through first, and then I'll take you to hone your skills."

Xiao Bai nodded and began to meditate in seclusion again.

Finally, on the eighth day, Xiaobai broke through and reached level 22.

Upon hearing the news, the little fox quickly got up to see if Lin Chen had leveled up.

As a result, Lin Chen was still at level nine.

"Goo~~~"

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the little fox sighed.

"I'll definitely do it next level," Lin Chen comforted him.

Lin Chen touched the bull's head again and found that Little White had not awakened any new skills this time.

Lin Chen was not surprised by this.

Being able to awaken a new skill at level 22 means that Xiaobai's talent is that of the king of kings.

But it's clear that Xiaobai's bloodline isn't that abnormal yet.

This is also normal.

"Let's go fight." Lin Chen smiled.

Since arriving at this spiritual academy, I haven't actually made a proper move yet.

Lin Chen believed that Xiao Bai's horns were definitely itching to be used too.

Sure enough, Xiao Bai's eyes lit up when he heard that they were going to fight.

Hard work, evolution, and upgrades
Isn't it all about fighting?

Then, Lin Chen took out the guild machine and confirmed Sun Hao's challenge invitation.

Arena area

As one of the core projects of the Spirit Institute, this is the most active area.

Many people, like Lin Chen, go to the Spirit Spring to level up and then come looking for someone to fight.

After finishing the fight, he immediately immersed himself in cultivation.

Some people have also made appointments to come here to exchange skills and so on.

It's unclear who leaked the word, but when Lin Chen arrived, the place was already packed with students.

In terms of numbers, apart from a small number of senior students who were just watching the show, the majority were recent graduates.

Half of the positions are for regular hires, and the other half are for specially recruited hires.

What's interesting is that these specially recruited students didn't initially have much of a sense of identification with Lin Chen, but after they came in, they were constantly harassed by the regular students.

In just half a month, nearly half of the specially recruited students lost their points to the official quota.

The current win rate of specially recruited students against regular students is:

3-99.

If Lin Chen loses again, he will be down to one hundred.

Now, officially admitted students are openly referred to as "connections," which is bound to make people resentful.

So when Lin Chen arrived at the scene and saw many students calling out his name and cheering him on, he was completely bewildered.

When did I become so popular?

When they were climbing the ladder, weren't these people hoping they would "die"?
Soon, Sun Hao also appeared.

He meticulously styled his hair, adopting the air of a refined gentleman, and stepped forward with the demeanor of a master, saying, "My name is Sun Hao. I have heard that you have climbed to the 37th level, and I greatly admire you. Therefore, I have come to challenge you."

The formal disciples beside them all nodded in agreement.

The aura and the grandeur are immediately apparent.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes.
If you want to be the leader of a chicken, just say so. Why all this nonsense?

Utterly hypocritical! Then both sides summoned their spirit beasts, and Lin Chen glanced at them, immediately quite surprised.

【Mirror Heart Beast】

[Advanced Spiritual Metamorphosis]

This type of spirit beast is also one of the special spirit beasts, possessing a unique physical passive ability:
It can withstand most mental attacks.

Passive constitution is extremely rare, but it does exist.

But the most distinctive feature of the Mirror Heart Beast is not only that, it is innately immune to mental power and also possesses powerful offensive capabilities.

That's the real reason it became famous.

Its appearance resembles a giant silver-white wolf, with its body covered in prism-like crystals and its eyes like perfectly cut diamonds.

[Skill 1: Prism Assault, the Mirror Beast transforms into a beam of refracted light and dashes behind the target, its claws tearing through enemies in its path]

[Skill 2: Echoing Light, the Mirror Heart Beast roars and releases its accumulated energy, unleashing ring-shaped light blades that deal energy-cutting damage to enemies within the area]

[Skill 3: High-Energy Prism, the Mirror Beast gathers energy to form a giant prism above its head, firing a high-energy focused beam that lasts for 3 seconds, continuously burning the locked area]

In comparison, Little White, the plow-horned beast, looked less imposing standing there.

Some scions of powerful families, who had never encountered a plough-horned beast before, even asked what kind of ox it was.

When Xiaobai saw that its momentum had weakened, it immediately transformed.

evolution
Kui spirit beast.

However, the moment it transformed, someone below immediately shouted, "Is this the Spirit Void Ox? This is the first time I've ever seen one."

"."

"Both sides prepare."

The referee was a senior student on duty, which was equivalent to doing a part-time job at the school, since the Spirit Academy couldn't possibly have that many instructors.

He glanced at Little White, then at the Heart Beast, and immediately shook his head.
Isn't this Mirror Heart Beast blatantly bullying the ox?

The passive constitution completely counters the Spirit Ruins Bull, rendering its signature skill, Soul Suppressing Hoof, useless.

Its level is one level higher than that of a newbie.

Because the Mirror Heart Beast is now level 23.

"start!"

At his senior brother's command, the Mirror Heart Beast was the first to move. It leaped quickly and used its Prism to launch a surprise attack.

Xiao Bai started with "One Breath Transforms into Four Oxen," easily dodging the attack. Little did he know that the Mirror Heart Beast was also a seasoned veteran in battle, and took advantage of the moment Xiao Bai ran away to unleash "Rending Light Echo."

Suddenly, several ring-shaped light blades erupted from all around, blocking Xiaobai's path.

Seeing that Xiaobai's speed had slowed down, Sun Hao was overjoyed and prepared to end the match, shouting, "Mirror Heart Beast, use your ultimate move to end the match!"

Just as the Mirror Heart Beast was about to roar and unleash its High-Energy Prism, Little White, upon seeing the prism, mistook it for a mental attack and panicked.
Previously, he was tormented by mental energy on the path to immortality, and now Xiaobai is directly at "red temperature".

Moreover, Lin Chen had reminded it before going on stage that the opponent had mental immunity and that it didn't need to use the Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

Thinking that the other party must be a master of mental strength, Xiao Bai immediately activated his Savage Bloodline.

"Moo~~"

Little White roared, and its entire body instantly turned red.

"?"

Someone below realized something.

and many more.

Those red pupils
Could it be
"Mad cow blood?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, Sun Hao and the Mirror Heart Beast had just reacted when they saw two thick breaths come out of Little White's nostrils. It then pushed off the ground with its four limbs and began to run quickly.

It charged forward like a cannonball, its speed reaching its limit, creating a powerful gust of air around it with a whooshing sound. As it charged, afterimages continuously separated from its body.

Lin Chen was filled with anticipation; Xiao Bai was eager to demonstrate the Thousand Shadows Return to One.

As the sprint continued, the thirteen afterimages appeared in an instant, and the afterimages gradually intertwined and finally merged into one.

At this moment, its power reached its peak!
"What kind of skill is this?"

"Wait, how could the Spirit Void Ox have savage blood?"

But when Xiaobai ran out of thirteen afterimages, and each afterimage overlapped again, the audience really couldn't understand it.

This didn't surprise them, after all, it wasn't uncommon for someone to come to the Spirit Academy and cultivate their basic skills to the Divine Enlightenment Realm.

They were full of question marks, but at that moment Xiaobai finally completed the Thousand Shadows Return to One, and almost instantly stared at the glowing bull horn, arriving in front of the Mirror Heart Beast.

The Mirror Heart Beast was dumbfounded.
Wasn't it agreed that the other party was a mental mage?

This speed and this power are clearly brute force.

Beastmaster.
You've misled me!

The Mirror Heart Beast hastily used its prism as a shield, its strongest defensive technique, in an attempt to stop the Thousand Shadows from returning to one.

However, under the impact of the Thousand Shadows Returning to One, it was as fragile as paper.

With a crisp "crack," cracks appeared on the prism, which then spread rapidly until the entire defensive spell collapsed, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.

The Mirror Heart Beast seemed to have no effect on Xiaobai's progress at all; it was directly knocked into the air, tracing a perfect parabola.

Thump~~~
As the Mirror Heart Beast landed, the noise in the arena could no longer be suppressed.

"Damn it, the intelligence was wrong! Where's the Lingxu Cow?"

"Jingxin Beast Arena is kicking itself. They thought the opponent was a mage, but it turns out he was a melee fighter. Otherwise, why would he be so close?"

"No, how could the Spirit Void Ox have acquired the bloodline of the savages?"

"And judging from its appearance, its savage bloodline is still controllable."

"What surprised me more was its Iron Horn Impact. What is that? A new form?"

"That's incredible! This skill... This is supposed to be the Mirror Heart Beast's Prism Defense, how come it's as fragile as paper? Is this really the Mirror Heart Beast I know?"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, with some even wondering if Lin Chen's horned beast might be a horned beast king, possessing a second mutation effect in its skills.

Lin Chen listened to their discussion and felt a chill run down his spine.

The Mirror Heart Beast's attacks were quite fierce, especially its second and third skills, which were equivalent to a semi-ranged mage.

Who would have thought it would actually engage in close combat with Little White?

This would be instantly killed.

Otherwise, they could at least fight for two rounds.

Lin Chen walked up to Xiao Bai and patted its head.
【Mirror Heart Beast】

[Dominant Bloodline: Mirrorheart Beast 42.31%, Prism Beast (Sacred Beast) 24.35%]

[Hidden bloodline: 16.23%]

[Contaminated bloodline: 17.11%]

Pretty good.

Lin Chen wasn't particularly surprised; anyone who could come to the Spirit Academy was certainly no ordinary being.

The Mirror Beasts grew stronger and stronger; for example, the Prism Beast was even able to learn some spatial power.

Lin Chen bowed slightly to Sun Hao, then left with Xiaobai.
But Niu Niu was a little depressed.

It had been planning to make a big splash today, but it didn't expect the other side to be so useless.

Forget it.

You should go back and hone your own horns.

That day, most of the news about the Spirit Academy's "newbie village" was about Lin Chen.

Finally, someone spoke up for Lin Chen, saying that his spirit beast was not some Spirit Void Ox, and that he shouldn't be fooled.

Some people say that Lin Chen is immoral, pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, and that if they could do it all over again, Sun Hao's Mirror Heart Beast might not necessarily lose.

The two sides started arguing again.

The student who had connections got his revenge this time and naturally refused to be bullied again. The other party also believed that Lin Chen had "cheated" and even complained to the tutor.

The result was that the mentor publicly responded that day, saying that when Lin Chen registered, he mentioned the Kui spirit beast, but it was the Lingxu ox that he wrote down.

The tutor's response left the students with official spots completely speechless.

Lin Chen, who was far from the storm, thought they would argue about this for a few more days, but unexpectedly, the new storm in the "newbie village" quickly overshadowed the matter.

Just two days after Lin Chen's arena competition, a newly enrolled student named Fang You, along with his spirit beast, once again embarked on the path to immortality.

This caused quite a stir, even alarming many mentors.

The reason is...
Fang You's performance on the first day of testing was below average, only reaching the eleventh level.

But who would have thought that twenty-three days later, he would once again ascend the path to immortality, taking only one day.

It soared from the eleventh floor to the forty-ninth floor.
