Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 157 The First Calamity: The Zerg

After a while, Lin Chen arrived.

When the two met again, Li Jiuxiao found it difficult to look Lin Chen in the eye.

In his eyes, Lin Chen was like a scar on his body, and every time he saw him, it was like rubbing salt into it.

Lin Chen didn't think that much about it. This match wasn't that important, after all, it was just the preliminary round.

His thought was how to win this battle while preserving as much strength as possible.

After arriving for a short while, the referee came up and said, "If there's nothing else, let's begin."

It's clear that the schedule is very tight right now.

Lin Chen and Li Jiuxiao nodded almost simultaneously. Then, Xiaobai and Xiaohong entered the arena. Looking at the opposing spirit beasts, besides the Bone-Armored Ox, Xiaobai's familiar opponent, there was another spirit beast:
【Earth Worm Beast】

Earth-attribute spirit beasts.

This spirit beast is somewhat similar to Ning Tian's second spirit beast; both contain a significant amount of dragon blood within them.

However, one is of the wind attribute and the other is of the earth attribute.

The name of the Earthworm Beast is corny, but its strength is anything but.

Lin Chen also understood Li Jiuxiao's future development direction:

Control the flow of images.

His map control isn't like that of a little fox; he firmly controls the ground.

Centered on the Bone Armored Ox's Absolute Bone Domain, and combined with the Earth Worm Beast's Earth-attribute skills, the enemy is trapped on the ground.

This combination of spirit beasts is very popular because both spirit beasts have good map control capabilities and melee strength.

Therefore, many experts choose this route.

As soon as the four beasts stepped onto the arena, the temperature suddenly rose.

When the Bone-Armored Bull saw Little White again, it was filled with fighting spirit.
The saying goes, "Once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten," meaning they are extremely unwilling to accept their previous failure.

"Moo~~~"

The Bone Armored Bull launched the first attack, immediately unleashing its ultimate attack:

[Absolute Bone Domain]

When the Absolute Bone Domain appeared, the people below were in an uproar.

Li Jiuxiao used this trick to take down many people in the Spirit Academy.

Not every spirit beast is like Xiaobai, able to break through the Absolute Bone Domain with brute force.

As soon as it was unleashed, Li Jiuxiao immediately intervened on the battlefield.

It's clear that he also longs for victory in this war.

"Earth Worm Beast, unleash the Flowing Sand Coffin."

【Quicksand Coffin】is the third skill of the Earthworm Beast. Simply put, this skill creates a vortex of quicksand on the ground. If the opponent cannot escape, they will fall into it and be buried alive.

The skill level of the quicksand coffin is also very high.

So when this skill appeared, the people below were talking about it.

"No wonder he abandoned his number one spirit beast. This earthworm beast has awakened such a skill. If it is combined with the Bone Armored Ox's Absolute Bone Domain, wouldn't it be invincible?"

"Yes, others can't even walk."

"That's insane."

As they discussed it, they also felt that the match wasn't as suffocating as they had imagined.
Perhaps Li Jiuxiao still has a chance?

At the moment the Absolute Bone Domain was generated, the Earth Worm Beast immediately released its skill.

The little fox frowned.
At this moment, it actually sensed what Lin Chen had said.

Anticipation.

Regardless of the opponent's skills.

But in general, the opponent must be using the Absolute Bone Domain to launch the attack.

The little fox raised its hand and unleashed a massive fireball, blasting it towards the earthworm beast.

Lin Chen was also stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
This little fox's talent is truly remarkable.

He had originally planned to wait until after this match to give the little fox a summary.

It seems that it has finally figured it out.

well.

The moment the enormous fireball was launched, the Bone Armored Bull immediately drew a bone armor puppet, preparing to help the Earthworm Beast block the enormous fireball.

With a loud bang, the skills of Li Jiuxiao's two spirit beasts were combined.

In an instant, the ground was covered with bone domain shackles and quicksand.

In an instant, Xiaobai finally made his move.
It wasn't just watching the show; it was thinking about how to make its move.

Finally, it found the answer.

The earthworm beast had nothing to fear; the quicksand couldn't even catch up with its slightest step, let alone bury it.

"Moo~~~"

It roared and immediately activated its Iron Horn Charge.

Immediately afterwards, the Savage Bloodline and the Eternal Demon Horns were activated simultaneously.
However, fearing for his life, Xiaobai only used the beginner-level Eternal Demon Horn and dared not use his full strength.

Finally, all the shadows returned to one!

As the thirteen afterimages overlapped, the Bone-Armored Ox and the Earth Worm Beast suddenly looked up. Just as they were about to make a move, Little White had already arrived in front of the Bone-Armored Ox.

The earthworm beast used the terrain to erect a wall directly in front of the bone armor bull.

But the bony-armored bull's pupils were filled with terror.
Even its heavy armor couldn't withstand a single collision from Xiaobai.

The current Xiaobai is terrifyingly abnormal.

How could a small earthen wall possibly harm Little White?

Click~
boom! !

Almost instantly, the earthen wall crumbled and scattered in the air, and then Little White's horns slammed hard into the Bone Armored Ox.

Almost exactly like last time, the Bone Armor Bull's heavy armor turned to ashes in an instant, and then it was sent flying backward.

This time, it flew higher and farther!

During the flight, the Bone-Armored Ox remained fully conscious.

It knew it was going to the clinic again.

When they encountered the enemy again, it was no match for the opponent in a single move.

clap~~~
When the bone-armored bull landed heavily, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

The outcome was already decided before Bone Armor Bull even released its fourth skill.

"That's terrifying, I don't want to run into him."

"Who says a chaotic battle guarantees a chance?"

"This time doesn't count."

"Nonsense! Send your two spirit beasts up there and see if they can beat his bull."

Upon seeing this outcome, the students erupted in a storm of discussion.

When Xiaobai landed, it glanced back at the Earth Worm Beast but decided not to make a move, simply watching quietly.

The little fox was overjoyed when it saw this.
This is giving Xiaobai another chance to perform and accumulate combat experience.

As expected of its leader!

woohoo~~
Little Red's eyes were brimming with tears, but she was ruthless in her attacks, unleashing a raging storm in true fire mode with a single gesture.

The earthworm beast was startled and reacted a beat slower. It erected another earthen wall in front of itself and spat out two streams of sand. Then, like two snakes, it flew swiftly away in front of the little fox.

But the little fox was not alarmed at all. The raging storm touched the soil and sand, instantly melting it, and then directly bombarded the earthworm beast.

Boom~~
Another explosion was heard, followed by a blackened earthworm beast crawling out of the ground.
It's already badly injured; if it had burrowed any slower, it would probably be burnt to a crisp.

The earthworm beast was covered in sweat.
That little fox's flames are terrifying! They broke two of its skills in a row.

Can't we just have some fun?
At this moment, Li Jiuxiao finally spoke up, "I concede!"

He became much more rational. The Bone-Armored Bull was heavily armored and its injuries weren't too serious, but the Earthworm Beast's defense wasn't as terrifying as the Bone-Armored Bull's.

Stopping the injury promptly is the wisest choice.

Lin Chen also told Xiaobai and Xiaohong to come down.

In fact, he had already thought of a strategy to deal with the Beast Fighting Tournament. At present, there are very few people in the Spirit Academy who can compete with him for a spot.

Therefore, in most matches, let the newbies just brute force their way through.
The little fox secretly developed itself and accumulated combat experience in the background.

Not only will Xiaobai's hidden strength be a trump card, but the little fox will also be a major trump card in the Beast Fighting Tournament a year later.

Lin Chen was very confident about this.

Lin Chen was not the only one who implemented this tactic; Fang You did the same.

In Fang You's matches, he would always let the Nine Tribulations Beast push directly and then quickly end the battle.

He was still as enthusiastic as ever about "pushing the tower". Fang You has now surpassed Lin Chen again on the road to immortality and reached the fifty-fourth floor.

Lin Chen wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the path to immortality for the time being.

Whether it's a little white fox or a little fox, the biggest problem is still insufficient animal strength.

So, practice more.

Liu Gu was an excellent mentor. After Lin Chen didn't have a level-two spiritual spring, he went to the academy to apply for one for Lin Chen, explaining that:

Lin Chen is a seeded player in the Beast Fighting Tournament.

After careful consideration, the Spirit Academy decided to grant him and Fang You each a Level 2 Spirit Spring slot, and also provided them with temporary welfare benefits.

The current qualifiers are based on a points system, and the top 15 players each month will receive an extra month's worth of Level 2 Spirit Spring slots.

The temporary benefits have boosted the students' morale even further.

As for Lin Chen and Fang You, these two people with connections, no one dared to question them.

"I really want to participate too~~"

Bai Ling's exercise has been effective; her health has improved.

So, she felt she was ready.

However, she has a clear understanding of herself and her own position. Before she made a contract with that chicken, she would not have any fighting ability.

Liu Gu often laughed at her, saying, "You always tell others not to hit you and your spirit beast, how can that work? You need to change your mindset."

"Right now you're a Devourer, which is fine, but once you form a contract with the Red Velvet Chicken, you'll have to develop its fighting instincts."

"You can't grow good flowers in a greenhouse."

Upon hearing her words, Lin Chen said, "Your Devouring Beast is already 22, it'll be soon."

Speaking of the Devouring Beast, Liu Gu often says that it has been eating even more since it evolved.

However, it also upgrades much faster.

Bai Ling is a person with extremely close connections, but the academy doesn't dare to be blatant about it, so they can only give Bai Ling a position at the second-level spirit spring, otherwise it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the students.

As for Unicorn, it's definitely a laid-back player.

I often lie there, sometimes for an entire day.

Lin Chen would occasionally tease it, telling it that if it tried harder, it might become Bai Ling's second spirit beast.

The Red Velvet Chicken was furious at his provocation, as it already harbored a grudge against Lin Chen for plucking its feathers last time.

Now, although it knew Lin Chen was just joking, its gaze was even more furious.
However, the unicorn is indeed a passive player and showed no reaction whatsoever.

In the following period, Lin Chen began his daily routine of checking in and leveling up. He spent most of his time either in the spiritual spring or training there.

Occasionally, he would also go to the Ascension Path to hone Xiaobai's spiritual power.

Although the little fox can now go along, its True Fire Mode cannot harm the monsters on the 50th floor at all.

So let's just watch the show and let it experience the atmosphere of the performance.

But Lin Chen's main purpose was to get Xiao Hong to see more.
Besides observing the battle situation, it's more important to observe Xiaobai's combat style and habits.

In this way, it can better control the image.

It must be said that there is a difference between a natural talent and a workaholic. No matter how hard Fang You tried, Lin Chen always surpassed him by one or two levels.

However, Lin Chen never underestimated Fang You.

His Nine Tribulations Beast would undergo tribulation at the slightest disagreement.
Who knows if it might suddenly have an epiphany one day, overcome several tribulations, and directly reach the Great Perfection?

Another month has passed, and the top fifteen students have successfully obtained the benefits of the Level 2 Spirit Spring. Liu Gu called Lin Chen over and said, "The academy will be opening its annual Zerg Secret Realm in the next few days. Bring Bai Ling with you then."

Lin Chen nodded.

The Zerg, also known as the First Scourge.

It is a very unique existence on Earth, and the common saying on Earth is that the Zerg are uncontrollable.

Many people think that as long as you make a contract with the Insect King, everything will be fine, but that's not the case.

First, the Insect King can become a spirit beast, but its attack method is singular: it cultivates insects to attack.

The swarm of insects looks terrifying, but it has one drawback:
The insectoid race is weak in individual strength and has poor cultivation ability. In addition, because there are so many insects, it is impossible for beast tamers to contract them all, resulting in a huge gap in the number of available slots.

This results in the fact that although the Zerg appear fierce due to their numerical advantage, they are not a good fit for Beastmasters.

Secondly, the Zerg have short lifespans. While the Zerg King has a relatively long lifespan, the Zerg under his command have extremely short lifespans. Even if you carefully cultivate two Zerg Grand Commanders and treat them well, they might die within thirty or forty years.

For this reason, the Zerg are defined by humans as a type of disaster-type spirit beast, because the Zerg's reproduction is extremely exaggerated, and if it is not suppressed, the entire continent may be occupied by the Zerg.

However, the human race did not exterminate it, choosing to turn a blind eye to the existence of the Insect King.

Deep within the mountains of Lingshan, it has been an excellent breeding ground since ancient times.

Legend has it that in the primordial era, a powerful human discovered an insect king in this place. Later, seeing its kind heart, the human couldn't bear to see it disturbed by humans, so he created a secret spatial realm for it on the spot.

This Insect King's Secret Realm still exists, but it's unknown how many generations of Insect Kings have come and gone.

However, the Spirit Academy never interferes with their reproduction; it only goes in once a year to have students help clean up the insects.

The Insect King tacitly approved of this, because the space in this secret realm is limited, and if the insects multiply indefinitely, there will inevitably be problems such as food shortages in the future.

This secret realm has its advantages, namely that it still retains the spiritual energy from the primordial era, making it very suitable for beast tamers to cultivate.

With the help of Xiaobai and Xiaohong, Lin Chen's level has risen very quickly. He has now reached level 12, which is much faster than before.

Bai Ling's eyes lit up when she heard that she could go out on a mission, and she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

"This is your reward." Liu Gu tossed out a high-grade pill that could aid in cultivation.

Lin Chen was deeply moved after reading it, but this time he shamelessly said, "Teacher, you are insulting me."

"Bai Ling and I are from the same sect, so we should help and support each other."

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became. Liu Gu squinted and said, "Something's not right with you."

"Teacher, please stop insulting your students!" Lin Chen said angrily.

Bai Ling, who was standing nearby, lit up when she heard this.
Lin Chen is indeed a good person!
Liu Gu's attempt to say something was immediately thwarted.

The longer Liu Gu knew Lin Chen, the more he understood Lin Chen's personality.

These righteous words are absolutely false.

This guy will only do things if there's something in it for him.

Was he suddenly overcome with kindness this time?
Or is it that he's interested in Bai Ling?

Thinking this way, Liu Gu felt somewhat comforted.

If Bai Ling could really be with Lin Chen, her innocent and unassuming nature would be somewhat protected.

However, he still overcomplicated things.
Lin Chen was indeed interested in Bai Ling, but not in her as a person.

They were more interested in her luck than her fortune.

Lin Chen had always wanted to test whether Bai Ling was really that effective.
One day I found a phoenix while shopping, the next I found a unicorn.

He refused to believe that he could find anything good at this kind of ruin.

Therefore, Lin Chen said to Bai Ling, "Don't worry, don't stray too far from me, I'll protect you."

Bai Ling nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said to Liu Gu, "Teacher, I told you, you have a deep misunderstanding of Lin Chen."
