Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 139 The fourth skill: The Demonic Horn of Eternal Tribulation
Lin Chen hurriedly led Xiao Bai and the little fox back to the yard. The polar bear, who was lifting weights, saw this scene and immediately became alert.

Are Lin Chen and his group being chased and killed?
But looking behind, there were no pursuers.

Then Lin Chen sat on the door panel in the courtyard, and Xiao Bai stood upright in the same spot. The little fox hurriedly went into the house, rummaged through the chests and cabinets, and finally took out something and handed it to Lin Chen.

For a moment, the polar bear felt like an outsider.

"Little Black, come here," Lin Chen called out.

Iron Paw Bear walked over, feeling a little happy. Lin Chen had it sit down beside him and said, "Come on, let's take a look at Little White's fourth skill."

Iron Paw Bear obediently sat down. At this moment, Little White smiled at it, but Iron Paw Bear did not show any displeasure. On the contrary, it became somewhat expectant. The little fox jumped onto the bear's head. Lin Chen swallowed and nervously placed his hand on Little White's head.

【Kui Spirit Beast】

【Level: 23】

【Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Divine Enlightenment)】

【Skill 2: Soul-Suppressing Hoof (Perfect)】

【Skill 3: Savage Bloodline (Mastery)】

【Skill 4: Eternal Demon Horn (Beginner)】

It has indeed awakened!

Lin Chen was delighted when he saw the introduction above, a very simple sentence:

[Activate the power of the black divine runes on the bull's horns; legend has it that divine and demonic power is sealed here.]

"It doesn't seem like an active skill," Lin Chen thought to himself.

Since Xiaobai's third skill is a enhancement skill like Savage Bloodline, Lin Chen is thinking that Xiaobai's next skill could be an active skill, so that Xiaobai can respond to various unexpected situations in battle.

However, the result was not as Lin Chen had hoped.

Lin Chen did not show any disappointment, because the skill had not yet been tested to see its effects.

But why is there a "demon" in it?
Lin Chen wondered, since the Savage Bloodline is considered an irregular skill, could it be that Xiaobai is going down the demonic path in the future?

The skill description says that it seals the power of gods and demons. What does that mean?
"Xiao Bai, try using skill four and see what happens," Lin Chen said expectantly.

After saying that, he patted the bear's butt. The polar bear looked confused, and then Lin Chen said, "Go and erect a wooden stake."

Upon hearing this, the polar bear happily ran off, erected the wooden stake, and then happily ran back, with the little fox lying on the bear's head the whole way.

Xiao Bai stood still, looking serious.

It roared habitually, evolved into a Kui Spirit Beast, and then unleashed the Eternal Calamity Demon Horn.

As the beast's power emerged, the black divine patterns on its horns suddenly moved as if alive, weaving into ancient runic totems that covered all the horns.

Lin Chen and the other two spirit beasts all swallowed hard.
Judging from the results, he seems both handsome and mysterious.

"Gugu~~~"

The little fox shouted, signaling to Little White to attack.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai stood still, looking at Lin Chen with some confusion.

Lin Chen had anticipated this and asked, "Have you felt your internal strength increasing?"

Xiao Bai shook his head.

"That's strange." Lin Chen came to the ox horn and looked at the dense divine patterns on it. He wanted to touch it, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Coming to his senses, he said to Xiaobai, "Come on, activate your Iron Horn Impact and smash into the wooden stake."

Little White nodded with a moo, and began to feel nervous.

This is its first skill after evolving into a Kui Spirit Beast. If it's a useless skill, then it's doomed.

So, after thinking it over, Xiaobai finally went all out in his normal state, activated the Eternal Demon Horn, and charged straight ahead.

A thousand shadows return to one!

Without hesitation, Xiao Bai activated the Thousand Shadows Return to One effect. The effect of the twelve afterimages returning to one struck the wooden stake, causing it to crack in mid-air and become scattered pieces.

After doing all this, Xiaobai turned around to look at Lin Chen, wanting to see the expression on Lin Chen's face.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Chen was also completely bewildered.
That's it?

It seems like not much has changed.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said to Xiao Bai, "The Thousand Shadows Return to One is too strong. You should use One Qi Transforms into Three Oxen to hit it first."

Xiao Bai felt wronged immediately after hearing this.

Now, after evolution, the starting point is to transform one breath into four oxen; to transform one breath into three oxen, one still needs to hold their breath.
It calmed its beastly power, and the great white bear beside it consciously stepped forward and erected another wooden stake.

When Xiaobai unleashed its skill for the second time, and the divine runes once again filled the entire bull horn, Xiaobai slammed hard into the wooden stake.

This time, the wooden stakes were only broken into pieces, but not completely scattered.

Lin Chen was immediately puzzled when he saw it.

no effect.

It has absolutely no effect.

Is the Kui Spirit Beast skill just to make the bull's horns look cooler?

Lin Chen stepped forward, intending to pick up the remains of the wooden stake, but he quickly froze in place, swallowing hard.

Because it saw black marks from burning on the remains of the wooden stake.

"Could it be..." Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Bai, "Just activate skill four, you don't need to do anything, just gently rub the wooden stake with the horn."

"Moo~~"

Little White nodded, feeling uneasy, but as Lin Chen had instructed, it activated the Eternal Calamity Demon Horn and gently rubbed against the wooden stake.

Who would have thought that something terrifying would happen? Little White's horn cut through the wooden stake as easily as cutting tofu, leaving a black mark where it passed through, with the horn's mark dented in.

Lin Chen was now certain that the Eternal Demon Horn was either a skill bonus or a defense-breaking effect.

In short, it's about enhancing the power of its horns.

Lin Chen swallowed hard, then said under Xiao Bai's expectant gaze, "This skill is very powerful. It's used in conjunction with Iron Horn Impact. This way, when you hit the enemy, the power will be even more terrifying."

Lin Chen wasn't just trying to make Xiao Bai happy; he genuinely felt that way.

Xiaobai's Thousand Shadows Return is already overpowered; it's currently its best finishing move.

Furthermore, it can continue to improve.

Although the Soul Suppressing Hoof has become much more powerful, it can only be used as a support skill after Xiaobai learns Thousand Shadows Return to One.

Now, Xiaobai's horns have achieved another breakthrough. With the support of the Savage Bloodline and the Eternal Demon Horn, the Thousand Shadows Return to One can only become more monstrous.

"It seems it's preparing to go further and further down the path of eruption," Lin Chen said speechlessly.

Because of their resilience, most bovine spirit beasts are good at prolonged battles. For example, Li Jiuxiao's Bone Armored Ox can outlast you if you give it enough time.

Xiao Bai, on the other hand, seems to have every skill designed to support Iron Horn Impact.

This is somewhat contrary to the principles of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
Many spirit beasts, after reaching a high level of cultivation, will find their basic skills become weak or ineffective, turning them into minor skills that are no longer useful in later battles.

Xiaobai's basic skills have become increasingly overpowered, turning into deadly moves comparable to ultimate skills.

"I just don't know what its evolutionary effects will be like." Lin Chen was still somewhat looking forward to it, after all, the Kui Spirit Beast was a new species, and there were many things worth recording.

However, Lin Chen was quite satisfied with the Little White skill.

Once the bull's horns become "sharp," it can kill more enemies with a single blow.

However, it also has a weakness: it is not good at protracted warfare.

“Come on, let’s test our combo.” Lin Chen said, while simultaneously thinking of something.

Although enhancement skills are not classified as combo skills in the Beast Taming World, if Xiaobai activates the Savage Bloodline, then triggers the divine rune effect of the Eternal Demon Horn, and finally uses Iron Horn Impact + Soul Suppressing Hoof, wouldn't that be a four-skill combo skill?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed. Looking at Xiao Bai's not-so-large body, he wondered if Xiao Bai could withstand such a sudden burst of power.
As Lin Chen had expected, Xiao Bai, in his normal state, activated the Eternal Calamity Demon Horn and was barely able to unleash the Eternal Calamity Demon Horn combined with Thousand Shadows Return to One, but he no longer had the strength to use the Soul Suppressing Hoof.

"Let's try activating the Savage Bloodline." Lin Chen wasn't surprised.

It now appears that the Kui Spirit Beast's uniqueness lies in its pair of bull horns. Activating them is equivalent to activating the Kui Spirit Beast's abilities, so the consumption must be considerable.

Then, Xiaobai began to unleash the first stage of his Savage Bloodline.

As a result, Xiaobai was barely able to unleash the Soul-Suppressing Hoof + Thousand Shadows Return to One combo while the Eternal Demon Horn was active.

However, the afterimages of the Thousand Shadows Returning to One only number twelve. Immediately afterwards, the second-tier Savage Bloodline was activated.

This time, the afterimage of the Thousand Shadows Returning to One has thirteen strands.

However, it is still far from the peak of fourteen levels.

"It seems that only a third-tier savage bloodline can achieve perfection," Lin Chen said.

Little Whitey honked its horn, asking if we wanted to give it a try.

Lin Chen and the little fox were immediately alarmed and repeatedly said no.

Without Qin Shaoshao by their side, the human and the fox were quite flustered.
Even though he possessed the "Stop" technique, Lin Chen still felt it wasn't entirely safe.

Moreover, the current data is enough to support Lin Chen's conjecture. As for the fully equipped combo skill, let's leave that to the next unlucky guy to try.

Xiao Hei was somewhat surprised. Xiao Bai was so gentle, so why were Lin Chen and Xiao Hong so afraid?

It scratched the bear's head, and Lin Chen closed "Niu Niu's Evolution Diary" and said, "Okay, that's a wrap."

Immediately, Little White plopped down on the ground to rest, Little Fox went to start a fire to cook, and Big White Bear picked up the broken pieces of wood from the ground.

That evening, Lin Chen and his three beasts had a big meal. Lin Chen went to the food shop in the Spirit Academy and found that the food there was really good and cheap. For example, the price of Blue Spirit Grass was half the price of what it was in Nine Star City.

Lin Chen even wondered if planting grass would result in a loss.
However, the land still needs to be cultivated.

For some reason, he always felt something was missing if he didn't farm some land.

After Xiaobai completed its upgrade, as is customary, Lin Chen would let it undergo some training.

However, now it's Lin Chen's turn to choose his opponent.

In the first two qualifying matches, Xiaobai was unable to fully enjoy himself, unable to unleash his full potential.

This upgrade has brought new skills, and it's bound to be a great success.

So Lin Chen went to find Zhao Li, the reporter from the Spirit Academy, to get the "information".

Zhao Li and Lin Chen have different cultivation methods. He seems to be more focused on ranking matches and doesn't have much interest in climbing the ladder, so it's common for him to play three or four matches a month.

“You’ve come to the right person,” Zhao Li said confidently. “What type are you looking for?”

"Ideally, it should be able to deal some damage and have high defense."

"High defense?" Zhao Li thought for a moment, then finally asked, "Does it matter how strong the defense is?"

Lin Chen nodded.

Winning or losing doesn't matter, the main thing is to find a punching bag and let the newbie have a good time.

“There really is one, but…” Zhao Li said with a smile, “Among the officially recruited disciples, one broke through the fortieth level, and his spirit beast is an old tortoise.”

"What kind of turtle?"

"Tibetan turtle".

"."

Lin Chen was speechless after hearing this.

This is a turtle-like spirit beast that may evolve into the Xuanwu bloodline, and what's most outrageous is that most of its skills are defensive.

Normally, very few people would form a contract with such a spirit beast.

But then someone discovered a fighting style: the "swallowing people" technique.

The Armored Turtle has a skill called Gigantification, which allows it to swallow the Beastmaster whole, and then retract its body and hide it inside its shell.

This tactic is also known as the "cowardly turtle."

However, it's not referring to the Tibetan tortoise, but rather to the beast tamer.

"It's quite remarkable that the Tibetan Armored Turtle could come to the Spirit Academy," Lin Chen said.

“That’s natural,” Zhao Li said. “Turtle-type spirit beasts are usually slow to cultivate, and their main focus is on prolonging their lives. But this person is an oddball. Not only is his spirit beast level 25, but he also became the eighth one to break through to level 40 a month later.”

"Then he shouldn't lack opponents." Lin Chen was somewhat tempted. Level 25, defensive class.
It perfectly meets the needs of beginners.

"No, you can rest assured." Zhao Li laughed, "He caused trouble in the first two rounds, so I guess no one is looking for him now. I bet in two months, the Spirit Academy will grant him a waiver of the right to fight."

"You seriously injured someone?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

"No, he won the first match. His opponent was fast, and neither the Tibetan tortoise nor the tortoise could defeat him. They fought for two hours, and in the end, the opponent's beast tamer simply conceded defeat."

"."

"In the second match, someone like you wanted to test their skills and went to him. They were a power player, but he couldn't break through either, and the game went on for another two hours."

"Give up again?"

"No, this beast tamer has quite the stubborn temper."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai frowned.

Are you out of words?

It was another initial foray into the field, and another display of stubbornness.
Please show some respect to the cow next to you.

Zhao Li didn't pay attention to any of this and continued, "Later, the referee couldn't take it anymore and gave them a 50/50 score, resulting in a draw."

"."

Lin Chen chuckled. This guy really was a weirdo; no wonder nobody wanted to play with him.

Lin Chen then found out the other party's name through Zhao Li:
Wang Xiangsheng.

Yearning for life
Lin Chen suddenly understood why the other party wanted to contract the Tibetan Turtle from its name: it was because the other party was afraid of death, just like Lin Chen.

Without much hesitation, Lin Chen sent a challenge invitation to the other party.

Earth Vein Infusion Site

A young man was talking at length to a young tortoise:

"Wow, there's nothing wrong with leveling up quickly."

"Only by leveling up quickly can our defensive capabilities be greatly improved, and only then can you save my life and Wolf's."

"Meeting me is a blessing in your turtle life."

"So when I die of old age, you must protect my other spirit beasts for me."

This is Wang Xiangsheng. He has reached level ten and is now a novice beast tamer. He has also contracted his second spirit beast.

This is a wolf, and it has the potential to evolve into a celestial beast, the Heavenly Wolf.

His talent as a beast tamer was to increase the leveling speed of spirit beasts. Unlike others, he did not use this talent to choose some powerful battle pets to level up quickly. Instead, he chose turtle-type spirit beasts, which had the slowest leveling speed.

He thought that staying alive was the greatest fighting force.

For the second spirit beast, the choice is entirely offensive and lethal, focusing on both offense and defense.

The place Wang Xiang Sheng spent the most time was the earth vein infusion, which was to maximize the physical body's potential. The second place was the spiritual spring.

The Tibetan tortoise was a silent tortoise. Hearing Wang Xiang-sheng pressuring it again, it quickly retracted its black shell and enjoyed the impact of the earth vein's energy.

Unlike Xiao Hei, it can sit in this place for 12 hours or even longer.
Seeing this, Wang Xiangsheng sighed speechlessly.

What's going on? It seems his spirit beasts aren't very easy to brainwash.

Is it because I'm not opening it correctly?

As Wang Xiangsheng was thinking this, he suddenly noticed the guild machine in front of him glowing, and he paused for a moment.
By simply displaying it, Wang Xiang-sheng was hoping that someone would challenge him.

It's almost the end of the month, and no one has come to challenge him yet. He doesn't want to go to his mentor to ask for a waiver of the challenge; that would make him a laughingstock.

"There really is one?" Wang Xiangsheng was overjoyed and said to the Tibetan tortoise, "Don't hide, come out quickly and get ready to fight."

The Tibetan tortoise was overjoyed upon hearing this, and Wang Xiang-sheng said, "This time you can't stay turtle; you have to be more proactive and attack as much as possible."

"Lul~"

The Tibetan tortoise thought to itself, "How can an old tortoise like me attack?"

Isn't this making things difficult for me, the old tortoise?
"Isn't your third skill offensive?" Wang Xiang-sheng said, "Be more proactive, and we'll have more opponents in the Spirit Academy, understand?"
