Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 159 Legendary Evolution Material: Phoenix Essence Blood
Lin Chen was ambitious, and the two of them finally left the area with their spirit beasts.

Before they had gone far, they saw mountains of Zerg corpses.

Lin Chen watched from the side, his scalp tingling.
If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably faint.

"Looks like there are some people in the academy who enjoy bullying weaker opponents," Lin Chen said.

Bai Ling coughed lightly upon hearing this, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Lin Chen then remembered and said, "I wasn't talking about you. You're different from them."

Lin Chen gave up after saying only half of what he had said.

The more they talked, the more they went astray.

If we keep going, won't that reveal that Bai Ling is also someone we can handle?
However, Bai Ling didn't mind; she never thought things through complicatedly.

After walking for an hour or two, we finally met some people.

Lin Chen recognized this person; it was Wang Xiang Sheng, whom Lin Chen had fought before.

At this moment, Wang Xiangsheng, along with his Tibetan armored tortoise and his second spirit beast, was bending over to examine the insectoid corpses on the ground.

Lin Chen went up and called out, which startled Wang Xiang Sheng. When he turned around and saw Lin Chen, he immediately said, "Brother Lin, you scared me to death!"

"What are you feeling guilty about? Are you afraid we'll find out you like to bully newbies?" Lin Chen said understandingly.

Since Wang Xiangsheng's Hidden Armor Turtle was defeated by Lin Chen, it did break its invincible true form, but still no one dared to fight him.

The reason is that the Tibetan Armored Turtle is now a combination of offense and defense. If it can't win, it can retreat; if it can win, it can crush the opponent. Ordinary spirit beasts have a hard time fighting it.

Therefore, Wang Xiangsheng was most looking forward to the Beast Fighting Tournament qualifiers, otherwise there would be no one to fight him.

“Brother Lin, I can sue you for slander.” Wang Xiang was furious. He quickly explained that this was not his doing.

"Who else could it be but you?" Lin Chen asked.

“You’re asking me? Who should I ask?” Wang Xiangsheng said. “Besides, I can’t kill that many spirit beasts.”

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true.

Lin Chen originally planned to continue his treasure hunt, but Wang Xiang Sheng stuck with them. When he heard that Lin Chen was looking around for treasures, his eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, I only need 10%." Wang Xiangsheng held up one finger.

Lin Chen squinted
One percent?
Too many.

Upon seeing this look, Wang Xiangsheng immediately retorted angrily, "Although my Tibetan tortoise is not as powerful as yours, it is still well-rounded in both offense and defense. It is a renowned expert in the courtyard. How is one-tenth too much?"

"I didn't say anything, why did you break your guard, Brother Wang?" Lin Chen said quickly. "I originally wanted to give you 20%, but since you said 10% yourself, then let's leave it at that."

"."

Wang Xiangsheng was speechless.

I believe you.

Your eyes just now betrayed you.

Wang Xiangsheng dared not expose him, fearing that Lin Chen would turn against him.

They walked another kilometer or so and found that there were far fewer bodies.

At this moment, Lin Chen asked Bai Ling, "Which way do you think we should go?"

Wang Xiangsheng, who was standing next to Lin Chen, looked at him with utter contempt.

Lin Chen usually seems quite opinionated, so how come he's such a simp?

Bai Ling pondered for a moment, then asked the Devouring Beast, "Xiu Xiu, which way do we go?"

The Devouring Beast pointed to the right, and Lin Chen, without hesitation, led the way.

Mentorship

Liu Gu was sorting through medicinal herbs when he suddenly heard footsteps. He turned around and froze on the spot.

The visitor was none other than Zhu Tong.

There was another person standing next to him, whom Liu Gu did not recognize.

"Let me introduce you, Professor Liu Gu," Zhu Tong pointed to Liu Gu and introduced him to the people next to him, then said to Liu Gu, "Zhang Jin, from the National Academy of Educational Sciences."

Upon hearing this, Liu Gu paused for a moment, then quickly cupped his hands in greeting, understanding why he had come.

He was very surprised.
Could it be that his disciple Bai Ling has truly been confirmed as the Imperial Preceptor?
The three took their seats, and Zhu Tong got straight to the point, saying, "This time we're here for Bai Ling."

“She went to the secret realm,” Liu Gu said.

Zhang Jin, who was standing next to her, said, "She may have hidden luck; wherever she goes, she may change the situation."

"Should I not have let her go?" Liu Gu asked nervously.

"Don't worry," Zhang Jin said. "If she really has that kind of luck, she will eventually turn danger into safety. You should also know that good flowers don't grow in greenhouses."

"The problem is, her combat power is almost zero now." Liu Gu said this to remind them that Bai Ling is not suitable to be the national advisor, either in terms of strength or personality.

"The position of Imperial Advisor has not yet been determined," Zhang Jin said. "It could be her, or it could be someone else."

Upon hearing this, Liu Gu couldn't help but ponder Zhang Jin's earlier words, and he suddenly understood the hidden meaning in his words.
Bai Ling's current adventure is also a form of assessment.

If Bai Ling's luck isn't always there, then it means one thing:

She is not suited to be the imperial advisor.

As for Bai Ling's life or death, that was not within their consideration.

The National Academy of Education is responsible for coordinating the direction of the entire country, and its members have always been indifferent to personal relationships.

This is also why Liu Gu felt that Bai Ling was not suitable to go to the National Teachers' Academy.

Because Bai Ling is inherently sentimental, and is even willing to give up everything she owns to prevent her spirit beasts from being beaten, it's difficult for her to transform into someone indifferent to emotions.

"She should be close to level 10 by now, and the second spirit beast she should contract should be the Red Velvet Chicken."

"Yes."

“I have a drop of phoenix blood here,” Zhang Jin said, reaching out and taking out a small bottle.

Liu Gu swallowed hard after seeing it.

Phoenix
Blood of mythical beasts.

If this gets out, it could cause a huge uproar.

Phoenix essence blood is the highest-grade material for evolving chickens, which is:

Legendary.

“But isn’t her qualification confirmed yet?” Liu Gu asked.

“Whether it’s confirmed or not is none of your business,” Zhang Jin said. “This is for her. As for how to do it, you, as the catalyst, should know better than I do.”

“I understand,” Liu Gu nodded.

"This matter is to be kept secret for now; no one can be informed," Zhang Jin said. "Unless you want her dead."

Liu Gu nodded again.

Although he was not clear about the complexities of Tiandu, he understood that many people were eyeing the position of the Grand Preceptor. Bai Ling was currently safe in the Spirit Academy, but she could not stay there forever.

After saying that, Zhang Jin left. In fact, his thoughts were no different from Liu Gu's.

Why did Zhong Nan attach so much importance to Bai Ling when he gave him such a long list of names?

This trip was also Zhong Nan's idea.

After he left, Liu Gu looked at Zhu Tong and said, "Dean, this..."

“The Imperial Academy has always been secretive in its dealings. For the sake of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, we have no choice but to follow their plan,” Zhu Tong said. “You should have sensed it too; the Cangling Ancient Kingdom has been quite turbulent lately.”

"You mean..." Liu Gu was a beat slow to react.

Since the National Academy is looking for a new National Preceptor, does that mean the old National Preceptor is being replaced?
Finally, he said:

"If that's the case, it's a calamity for the Cangling Ancient Kingdom."

Zhu Tong remained silent, not uttering a single word.

"Really?"

Lin Chen and Bai Ling walked together, filled with joy.

Thousand-year-old blood ginseng, spirit fruit, star mushroom.
These all cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to build outside, and there are quite a few of them.

Lin Chen and Bai Ling picked them up along the way, overjoyed.

It's the wealthy young master Wang Xiang-sheng who looks down on these things.

Lin Chen was even more delighted and decided to waive the 10%.

“I thought you were looking for a large truck,” Wang Xiangsheng said.

"For example?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Wang Xiang Sheng glanced at Bai Ling's unicorn, and Lin Chen immediately smiled wryly, saying, "I don't want to be chased down." Wang Xiang Sheng laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, there aren't that many unicorns and accidents in this world."

As they were talking, they climbed over a slope and then heard a lot of rustling sounds.

Following their gaze, they saw a vast plain where a densely packed army of Zerg was tearing each other apart.

"What's going on?" Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he saw so many insects.

He was puzzled. The Zerg were always united because their thoughts were controlled by the Zerg King.

How is this going?

"Now you can prove my innocence, right?" Wang Xiangsheng said.

Lin Chen had long understood that the many Zerg corpses he had seen earlier were not the work of Wang Xiang Sheng, but rather the result of internal strife within the Zerg.

He recalled some books about the Zerg and some thoughts came to mind.

There are generally two reasons why this happens to Zerg:
First, the battle for supremacy among new kings.

In other words, there are two insect kings vying for resources, territory, and so on.

Second, the former king passed away.

When an old Zerg king is about to depart, his mind control over the Zerg weakens, and the Zerg may fall into a chaotic struggle for control due to the loss of the mastermind's control.

After Lin Chen explained the two reasons, Wang Xiang Sheng said, "Either one is a big problem. I think it would be best if we left this place as soon as possible."

Lin Chen agreed, and Wang Xiang Sheng then suggested, "Why don't we just have the unicorn open a spatial portal and take us away?"

"Great idea." Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he praised Wang Xiangsheng highly, saying, "The students in the academy all say that you are good at escaping, and now it seems that they are right."

"."

Wang Xiangsheng rolled his eyes.

If you can't speak well, then speak less.

Lin Chen looked at Bai Ling, who then said to the unicorn, "Jiaojiao, it's up to you now."

The unicorn perched on the polar bear's shoulder lazily opened its eyes, then leaped up, and immediately the horn on its head began to emit a holy light.

"I wish I had a unicorn too," Wang Xiangsheng said with genuine envy.

With such a spirit beast, one can attack or defend, which is perfect for someone as afraid of death as Wang Xiang Sheng.

With the unicorn's exertion, a small spatial wormhole immediately opened.

Lin Chen let Xiao Bai go in first, followed by Bai Ling. Wang Xiang Sheng was the last to enter, and he also brought his spirit beast to enter. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to enter the cave, the spatial wormhole began to shrink.

Wang Xiangsheng panicked and rushed forward with all his might, but he couldn't catch up. He shouted loudly:

"Hey, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

rustling sounds~~~
Before Lin Chen could adjust to the glaring light, he heard countless insect chirps.

Didn't they go out?
Lin Chen had a bad feeling when he heard a cow moo.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that Xiaobai had transformed into a Kui spirit beast, ready to attack at any moment.

Lin Chen looked around and gasped.
They were surrounded by a massive army of Zerg.

Where did they go?
Lin Chen glanced at the unicorn, whose pupils shrank and it looked completely innocent.

"Jiaojiao, did you misjudge the location?" Bai Ling's face was also pale, but she still asked patiently.

The unicorn rolled its eyes around, then finally shook its head.
Unicorns are known for their keen sense of direction; how could they possibly make a mistake?
Lin Chen looked back and saw that Wang Xiang Sheng hadn't chased after him, which made him feel even worse.

With Wang Xiangsheng's tortoise shell, perhaps they really can hold out for a while.

The little fox and the red-haired chicken prepare to light the fire.

"No." Lin Chen shook his head.

The Zerg are indeed afraid of fire, but the problem is that there are just too many Zerg here.

If we rashly start a fire now, we risk alerting the insectoids, causing them to lose control, and we will surely perish here.

Lin Chen observed his surroundings. Although the insectoids had surrounded them, they were not attacking.

Clearly, something is restraining them.

Based on their characteristics, Lin Chen easily came up with the following:
Insect King.

Liu Gu had told him before that this space was equivalent to the Insect King's beast-taming space, after all, it had been here for so many years.

Therefore, the control here is in the hands of the Insect King.

Then, considering the issue of the failed unicorn positioning, Lin Chen immediately understood.

Did the Insect King send them here?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's expression turned grim.
It was supposed to be safe, but I never expected to encounter something like this twice when I entered the Spirit Academy.
Could it be that I have some kind of dangerous constitution?
Lin Chen told Xiao Bai to lower its attack stance, raised his hand and said, "I am Lin Chen, a student of the Spirit Academy. I am here on a mission from the academy to clean up. I have no intention of offending the Insect King's territory."

However, there was no response.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak again, an insect much larger than ordinary insects walked over.

rustling~~
"Huh?" Lin Chen didn't understand until the insect pointed in a direction, and then he realized that it meant it was taking them there.

"Walk."

Lin Chen was filled with trepidation. Now that he was surrounded, he had no choice but to go.

This insect was probably not the insect king, but rather a high-ranking leader or something similar. It led Lin Chen and the others into a canyon. The environment here was secluded and full of vegetation, but they could see many insect high-ranking leaders standing guard.

After walking for a while, Lin Chen saw a huge creature, and he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

Ground beetles are very small, about the size of a human thumb.

The size of the Zerg Grand Commander is no more than that of a mineral water bottle.

But the giant beetle in front of us is larger than two elephants.

Lin Chen was so surprised he couldn't speak.
How many years would it take for an ancient demon to transform like this?

rustling~~
The Grand Commander pointed at the Insect King.

Lin Chen cupped his hands again and said, "I am Lin Chen, a student of the Spirit Academy. I came here to clean up on a mission from the academy and had no intention of offending the Insect King's territory."

Before he could finish speaking, an old and weak voice entered Lin Chen's mind.

"I'm the one who sent you."

This is human language, only it is transmitted through the mind.

This is not surprising. The Insect King is best at controlling insects through mental power. Although it is not good at mental attacks, communication is a very easy thing for it.

Lin Chen looked up and saw the Insect King open its eyes.

Its pupils were bloodshot and weak, and it looked like it was on its last breath.

Lin Chen knew
It's dying.

"what?!"

"Something's happened again?"

Master Zhang practically jumped up from his chair.

This news wasn't brought by anyone else; Zhu Tong himself came to inform us.

Zhang Daoren grew anxious and said, "Dean, you must understand, this isn't a problem with my own professional competence, but rather..."

"Never mind, I'll go take care of it first."

After saying this, Zhang Daoren prepared to get up and deal with the matter.

This place, the domain of the Insect King, is extremely dangerous.

With so many students inside, if they were to be wiped out, it would be very difficult to explain to both the public and those inside.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tong stopped him, saying, "It's alright, the Tree Ancestor is watching. It will intervene at the crucial moment."

"Tree Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Daoren swallowed hard.

This tree ancestor is the controller of the war chess game. It has always been stationed in the academy, but it has rarely shown its face. Even though Zhang Daoren has been here for so long, he has rarely heard of its deeds.

"Dean, is something about to happen to our academy?" Zhang Daoren asked in alarm.

If even the Tree Ancestor has made a move, isn't that a great disaster about to befall us?

“This is none of your business. Just observe and see what happens,” Zhu Tong said. “I came here to remind you not to take action.”

"It's perfectly clear."

Zhang Daoren broke out in a cold sweat, forcibly suppressing his curiosity.
