Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 149 The Next Imperial Advisor

"Whenever I do things at the Spirit Academy, do I need to give an account to the heavens?"

In the dean's office atop the highest peak of the Spirit Academy, a man in a green robe roared and smashed the table in front of him to pieces. Zhang Daoren and Liu Gu, who were sitting next to him, dared not utter a word.

This hot-tempered man is Zhu Tong, the vice dean of the Spirit Academy.

The reason I'm so angry is because of the unicorn thing.

The people of Tiandu heard about the unicorn and wanted to get involved.

People from Tiandu were never this bold before, but this time is different.

If Bai Ling had obtained other celestial beasts, that would have been fine, but the unicorn is a strategic celestial beast, which is of great significance to the human race.

Many forces do not want it to remain in the hands of a girl with no powerful background.

Zhu Tong also heard about this and rushed back from out of town, knowing that this matter must be quite significant.

"Should I just tell them to get lost?" Zhang Daoren suggested.

Zhu Tong suddenly glared at Zhang Daoren and said, "You are in charge of supervising the new recruit assessment. This time it was an accident. It took ten days to realize it. If it weren't for the new recruits working together, Unicorn would probably not be ours now."

"You still have the nerve to talk nonsense here."

Zhang Daoren smiled bitterly.

This was an accident; who could have imagined that a large hole would be found in another part of the ruins?

Zhang Daoren dared not speak, but Liu Gu said urgently, "Dean, that unicorn belongs to Bai Ling, we can't give it to her."

Zhu Tong paced back and forth, clearly hesitant.

"Dean, you wouldn't be thinking about this too, would you?" Liu Gu asked.

"How dare you!" Zhu Tong turned around and glared at him, saying, "Others may not understand me, but you don't?"

Zhu Tong used to be Liu Gu's mentor.

Liu Gu cupped his hands and quickly said, "I just don't understand what you're hesitating about, teacher."

"Can we protect her for a while, or for a lifetime?" Zhu Tong said.

Upon hearing this, both Zhang Daoren and Zhu Tong sighed; they had also considered this possibility.

However, Liu Gu quickly added, "We can keep her at the academy as a tutor, that would be fine too."

“This method is feasible,” Zhang Daoren said.

"That works too," Zhu Tong said. "Then let's settle on that for now."

That evening, Zhu Tong had the people from Tiandu who came to negotiate driven out of the academy.

Unexpectedly, that very evening, Zhang Daoren came to report that more people from Tiandu had arrived.

"Get rid of them." Zhu Tong's attitude was very firm.

“This time it’s different,” Zhang Daoren said.

"The National Council Envoy from Tian Shu Pavilion is here, and I'm going to make it today anyway." Zhu Tong was angry. He wanted to continue speaking, but then he heard Zhang Daoren say:
"It's Zhang Jin."

"From the National Academy of Educational Sciences?" Zhu Tong immediately changed his attitude.

He could ignore Tian Shu Pavilion and even take a hard line, but he had no choice but to take care of the National Academy.

The Grand Preceptor's affairs concern the very future of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, even its very survival.

“They never get involved in these kinds of things, so I don’t know why they’ve come out of seclusion this time,” Zhang Daoren said. “He seems to have come in secret this time and told me not to make a fuss.”

"Please go ahead."

"it is good."

Zhang Daoren cupped his hands in greeting and quickly left.

Zhang Jin arrived shortly afterward.

As the chief disciple of the national master Zhong Nan, his status is self-evident.

They exchanged pleasantries briefly, but quickly got to the point.

“Dean Zhu should also know that I came here for the unicorn.” Zhang Jin was very direct.

Zhu Tong frowned, but Zhang Jin continued, "I hope the Dean can keep the unicorn in Bai Ling's hands."

Zhu Tongyi was taken aback, then asked, "Why?" "This thing originally belonged to her."

"What I mean is," Zhu Tong suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before, and asked in alarm, "Does that mean that Elder Zhong's condition is really irreversible?"

"I can't say much about the teacher's affairs," Zhang Jin said. "The dean shouldn't inquire either."

Zhu Tong nodded, but in fact, he had already gotten the answer from Zhang Jin's words.

He was unable to calm down.

The national advisor guides the nation's fortune and direction. A good national advisor can bring blessings to all people, while a bad one can bring disaster to the country and its people.

Who can know what the next imperial advisor will be like?

"To be honest, Bai Ling is a candidate for the next National Preceptor, but she is not the only one. The final result is still undecided," Zhang Jin said. "For the future of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, we hope that Dean Zhu can bear this pressure. If it is really impossible, our National Preceptor Academy will step in."

“If the National Academy gets involved, things will only get worse.” Zhu Tong shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, you don’t need to say more. I will protect Bai Ling. She is a member of my Spirit Academy. As long as she is here, no one can take her away.”

Zhang Jin bowed and then left.

However, Zhu Tong could not remain calm.

He had a vague premonition that the heavens of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom were not so stable.

After Xiao Bai's Eternal Demon Horn broke through, Lin Chen rarely went out. When he heard that the Spirit Academy was expelling guests, he understood that Bai Ling had protected the unicorn.

The next day, Zhang the Taoist priest came to visit.

"Your reward has been determined. The Spirit Academy, considering your contributions, has rewarded you both. You and Fang You have been recognized as the top contributors and will be granted an exceptional month of access to the Level 2 Spirit Spring. Furthermore, your resources will be upgraded to Level 6. You can now enter the medicine storehouse ahead of time to obtain materials, and the reward has been increased from three items to five."

Upon hearing the rest, Lin Chen's face lit up with joy, and he asked again, "Can we obtain the main material?"

“Of course not,” Zhang Daoren said. “You’re being too greedy.”

Lin Chen was immediately deflated.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Daoren threw out another bait, saying, "The registration for the Six Kingdoms Beast Fighting Tournament has already begun. Once you get a spot, you can obtain a main material."

“You leaders are all the same, you all know how to make empty promises,” Lin Chen sighed.

This tactic is exactly the same as Li Zhen's.

Zhang Daoren squinted and said, "The Spirit Academy has always been fair in its dealings. If you don't want to participate, I won't force you. However, I remember that there is a main material in the Spirit Academy's treasury that is of extremely high quality, which is somewhat suitable for your Flaming Fox."

"..." Lin Chen was speechless. He said, "If it were my bull evolving, you'd probably say it has the heart of the Bull King inside, right?"

“There is indeed the heart of the Ox King inside,” Zhang Daoren said. “However, compared to the heart of the Ox King, it still lacks something.”

"You win," Lin Chen sighed.

This aroused my desire, and I had no choice but to go for it.

Zhang Daoren saw this and was secretly pleased.

Judging from the students' descriptions, Lin Chen's performance this time was almost perfect, showcasing both the top-tier combat power of the Plough-horned Beast and Lin Chen's adaptability.
Such a talented person absolutely must participate in the Six Kingdoms Beast Fighting Tournament.

"Mentor Zhang, can I choose a mentor now?" Lin Chen asked as Zhang Daoren was about to leave.

Zhang Daoren looked somewhat distressed upon hearing this.

Lin Chen's performance is so outstanding that any mentor would want to take him on as a student.

Previously, these mentors were all observing how the students behaved after entering the ruins, but this incident happened.

Liu Gu preemptively spoke to Zhu Tong:
"He has already agreed to let Bai Ling in through connections, so we need a combat-ready person to keep things under control."

Zhu Tong didn't know if it was because of the unicorn, but he agreed to Liu Gu's request.

If Lin Chen agrees, then Lin Chen will become Liu Gu's disciple.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. He asked, "What is Liu Gu's personality like?"

Zhang Daoren didn't speak ill of Liu Gu. Although he wanted Lin Chen, the instructors of the Spirit Academy were very united. He said, "He is a Catalyst."

Lin Chen was taken aback, then his pupils lit up.

"Now do you want to know what his personality is like?" Zhang Daoren asked with a smile.

Lin Chen, without batting an eye, replied, "Since he can become a mentor in the Spirit Academy, he must be an outstanding individual with exceptional teaching ethics. As a junior, how could I be picky? I am willing to follow the academy's arrangements."
