Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 173 The Little Fox's Fourth Skill

Traveling without stopping, Lin Chen indeed found many spiritual springs along the way.

Some are of pretty good quality, comparable to a level four product.

Lin Chen noted down the location, but did not linger.

If it weren't for the Devouring Beast, he might have given up.

But to come with a cheat code and only get a level four spirit spring is to look down on the Devouring Beast.

At this moment, they reached the summit, and Lin Chen looked into the distance, where he could not see the end.

This time, Lin Chen believed what Liu Gu said. This secret realm was very large and completely different from any he had seen before. With so many students entering here, it was really possible that they wouldn't encounter anyone for half a year.

"This celestial beast is truly terrifying," Lin Chen thought to himself.

He had looked up information, but the Spirit Academy kept the information about this mythical beast realm a secret, supposedly to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from researching it.

After all, this secret realm is one of the foundations of the Spirit Academy.

After traveling for another half day, Lin Chen and his companions soon encountered a predicament: the road ahead ended, and a large canyon appeared.

Looking from this side, the canyon is about 10 kilometers long.

Lin Chen wondered if this was a trace left from the war back then. After all, when a celestial beast made a move, its power was enormous; a single skill could easily move mountains and overturn seas.

After searching for quite some time, they finally found a spiritual spring, led by the Devouring Beast.

"Is this the place?" Lin Chen asked the Devouring Beast.

The latter nodded, and Lin Chen said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, go in and test the water."

The white ox circled the area once, inspecting the environment and cleanliness. Finally, it gently tested the water temperature with its hoof, and only after confirming that it was ready did the bull enter the water.

"Moo!"

Xiao Bai spoke up and told Lin Chen that this was a level five spiritual spring.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and looked at the Devouring Beast beside him in disbelief.
Really hammered.

Bai Ling's luck comes from it.

Lin Chen was glad that he thought of borrowing the Devouring Beast first, otherwise, with such a large place, it might have taken half a month to find a good spiritual spring.

This sacred spring is large enough to allow you to soak in two springs at once.

In the end, Lin Chen didn't show favoritism and decided to pair them up: Little White and Devouring Beast in one group, and Little Fox and Little Insect King in the other.

As for the polar bear, it just stood by and watched.

Lin Chen did this with ulterior motives.
Although luck cannot be transferred, Lin Chen still wondered if he could try to take advantage of it.

Afterwards, Lin Chen officially began his "arduous training" inside.

In the blink of an eye, a month has almost passed. The little fox broke through first and reached level 22, proving its status as a leveling maniac.

Lin Chen simply scooped it up.
The little bug king's level is so low, its breakthrough speed is not even as fast as the little fox's.

"Skills not awakened." Lin Chen touched it and found that it had not awakened any new skills. It seemed that he would have to wait until level 23.

Lin Chen was also quite looking forward to the little fox's fourth skill.

The little fox evolved to five tails on its first evolution. Although it was a holographic one, such a feat was still extremely impressive. Lin Chen thought that the little fox should be able to awaken a decent skill.

Then, the little fox was handed over to the polar bear so that it could supervise the little fox as it trained.

During this period, Lin Chen also paid attention to the Little Insect King and the Devouring Beast.

The Little Insect King levels up slowly because it doesn't have a contracted Beastmaster, while the Devouring Beast levels up much faster than expected.

They rotate every seven days; when the little fox is caught, Little White's group goes in.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai mooed as soon as it went in.

"what?"

Lin Chen thought he had misheard.

Xiao Bai is right, the spiritual energy of this spring doesn't seem as strong anymore.

It used to be five times, but now it's only about four times.

"Are you so busy you've lost your mind?" Lin Chen asked.

Xiao Bai is the busiest. She needs to take baths and meditate, daydream, and hone her skills. In her spare time, she also cultivated a piece of land next to this place and planted spiritual herbs.

Xiao Bai shook his head, indicating that he was fully conscious.

Lin Chen was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the Little Insect King.
Could it be because of the Little Insect King?
Seven days later, it was the little fox's turn. The little fox went in and reported the same situation as the little white fox: the spiritual power of the spiritual spring had decreased.

"No way."

Lin Chen felt ashamed.

The spiritual power of the spiritual spring will not decrease, because the spiritual spring is like a hot spring source, which can continuously supply new spiritual water.

Lin Chen decided to change the group assignments and use the process of elimination to see whose problem it was.

At this moment, the Devouring Beast lowered its head somewhat guiltily.

Lin Chen keenly sensed its emotions, looked at it in surprise, and said, "Xiuxiu, did you do this?"

"Croak~~"

The Devouring Beast nodded, looking aggrieved.

Lin Chen immediately said, "I don't mean to blame you. You found this spiritual spring, and it's not mine. Just let things be as they are."

"But what's going on with you?"

The Devouring Beast shook its head, indicating that it did not know.

It told Lin Chen that he had discovered this when he was in the Spirit Academy: every time he went to the Spirit Spring to cultivate, he was able to absorb the spiritual energy of the Spirit Spring continuously.
It's the kind that's directly absorbed.

“But your leveling up isn’t going any faster,” Lin Chen said.

"Croak~~"

The Devouring Beast sighed, admitting it knew nothing.

Lin Chen was deep in thought.

Bai Ling, this Devouring Beast, has always been special. Although its combat power and support abilities are not outstanding, it has extremely good luck.

It can directly devour the spiritual energy in the spiritual spring. Could it be related to its nature?

After all, it only has one skill.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen said to the Devouring Beast, "It's alright, let it soak for now. Once the temperature drops below four times, we can find another one."

"Cuck!"

The Devouring Beast glanced at Lin Chen gratefully.

However, this period of time was very short, only four days, and the spiritual energy here had already dropped significantly.

Lin Chen told them to pack their things and prepare to move on to the next one.

While tidying up, Lin Chen felt it was a bit too extravagant.
This is five times the amount of spiritual spring water.

They used to be highly sought after, but now they're so popular that they have to be replaced every month.

However, with the Devouring Beast as a cheat, there's no shortage of resources.

After spending two days, Lin Chen and his group quickly found a new spiritual spring, which was also level five.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but three times is inevitable.

The Devouring Beast no longer needs to prove itself.

"Let's begin our cultivation." Lin Chen decided to adjust the schedule: for the first half month, Little White and the Little Insect King would cultivate, and for the next half month, Little Red and the Devouring Beast would cultivate.

The third day marks the start of a new month.

After a tedious day of cultivation, Xiao Hong prepared to cook dinner in the evening.

Lin Chen put away his book and was about to stretch when he looked up and saw something astonishing.

All that could be seen above the moon was the reappearance of that enormous bronze ancient tree.

Very clear, very realistic.
For the past month, Lin Chen had been paying attention to the changes in the moon, and he discovered that the moon only behaved this way on the night of the 1st.

Now, it's the first day of the month again, and this eerie scene has reappeared.

"Could this not be a coincidence?" Lin Chen pondered.

Just then, the Devouring Beast came to find Lin Chen.

"Cuck!"

"What?" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise, "You said you sensed an even better spiritual spring?"

The Devouring Beast nodded.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and immediately told Xiaobai and the others to pack their things and set off that very night.

The Devouring Beast led them eastward for three hours when suddenly a thick fog rolled in, reducing visibility to extremely low levels.

Flames rose from the little fox's tail, providing a faint glimpse of the path ahead.

Lin Chen looked at the white mist in the sky and felt something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After traveling a long way, the Devouring Beast finally stopped.

Lin Chen saw that there was indeed a spiritual spring in front of him. However, the surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see anything in the distance, which gave people an eerie feeling.

Lin Chen let Xiaobai go in and try it out.

The latter tried it directly and then shouted out with joy.

"Moo!"

"Level 6?"

"Moo!"

Lin Chen was thrilled upon hearing this.

That's six times, that's practically cheating!

A six-fold increase in spiritual spring water is already considered top-tier.

"Go and give it a try," Lin Chen told him.

Little White plunged straight in, and Little Insect King followed.

Lin Chen sat down and praised the Devouring Beast a few times.

After eating, Lin Chen felt sleepy. He instructed the Great White Bear to take the night shift and then went to sleep.

He didn't expect that he hadn't been asleep for long when he heard the polar bear wake him up.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen looked around warily as soon as he woke up.

The surrounding white fog began to dissipate, and although it was late at night, Lin Chen's vision gradually opened up.

Lin Chen then realized that the area around them was very open, unlike what he had imagined.

Little White and the Little Insect King also came to his side, looking around warily.

"Aren't you cultivating?" Lin Chen asked.

He wondered if they had encountered an enemy.

Unexpectedly, the little white calf bellowed, and Lin Chen was immediately stunned, quickly looking ahead.

His face immediately turned pale.

All that could be seen was that the spring pit in front of them had disappeared.

Lin Chen, who had been feeling very sleepy, suddenly became wide awake. He looked at the location of the spiritual spring in disbelief and asked, "Xiao Bai, are you sure you took a bath last night?"

Xiaobai nodded.

The little insect king nodded as well.

Lin Chen trembled.
Haunted?
Lin Chen looked at the Devouring Beast, but to his surprise, the Devouring Beast shook its head, indicating that it didn't know what was going on either.

Lin Chen quickly packed his things and rushed back overnight, asking as he walked, "Do you remember the location of the level-five spiritual spring?"

Finally, just before dawn, Lin Chen and his group returned to the location of the level-five spiritual spring. Lin Chen had been quite frightened that night.

After calming down, Lin Chen began to ponder.
The Level 6 Spirit Spring definitely exists; Xiaobai and the others wouldn't lie, and he saw it with his own eyes.

As he was thinking, Lin Chen suddenly remembered something.

That is, they stayed at this level-five spiritual spring for a day, but on that day, the Devouring Beast did not say that it sensed a better spiritual spring.

At nightfall on the first day of the month, when the bronze giant tree appeared, the Devouring Beast came to tell Lin Chen that it had sensed a higher-level spiritual spring.

Could it be that the appearance of this level-six spiritual spring is related to the bronze giant tree?
Lin Chen knew that there would be no answer to this question.

But Lin Chen had a vague feeling that this place was not as simple as the Spirit Academy had said, but just a world formed after the fall of a celestial beast.

Fortunately, they are not in any danger so far.

Several more days passed, and Xiaobai finally broke through to level 29.

Lin Chen was very satisfied.

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

Nowadays, if it weren't for the existence of the Level 5 Spirit Spring, it might take Xiaobai four or five months to advance one level.

Having a level 5 spirit spring doesn't mean you can level up in a month, but it greatly increases the speed.

Lin Chen wasn't greedy; this time, Xiao Bai's goal was:
Level 31.

Furthermore, at level 30, Lin Chen will perform a fifth bloodline purification on Xiao Bai, allowing Xiao Bai to awaken better skills.

As for the little fox, Lin Chen found it difficult to predict its fate.
After all, it's difficult to make a judgment if Xiao Hong's leveling speed isn't suppressed.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen still hadn't seen Bai Ling arrive. However, he figured that the time was about right, and her Red Velvet Chicken should have evolved.

Lin Chen was still very curious.
The bloodline of the Red Velvet Chicken is astonishing, and it can display the phantom of a phoenix even in its mortal beast form.

His future achievements will definitely be on par with those of a phoenix.

It's unknown whether it will be stronger than Little Red after its initial evolution.

On the 21st day, Xiaohong leveled up again.

At the moment of the upgrade, it shouted out excitedly.

Lin Chen immediately knew that Xiao Hong had awakened a new skill.

Lin Chen was overjoyed, and the other spirit beasts also gathered around, wanting to see what skill Little Red had awakened.

"Come here." Lin Chen opened Xiao Hong's diary, swallowed hard, and felt nervous.

Every time Lin Chen had to check someone's skills by touching their head, it felt like he was winning the lottery.
When Lin Chen first saw the barbaric bloodline, he was devastated.

However, it turned out that he was quite lucky.

Xiao Bai's Eternal Demon Horn is also an extremely overpowered skill.

In terms of evolutionary form, the little fox should be in a better situation than the little white fox, so Lin Chen's expectations for the little fox will be higher.

Lin Chen started patting his head.

Five-Tailed Flame Fox

【Level: 23】

【Skill 1: Giant Fireball (Divine Enlightenment)】

【Skill 2: Flame Storm (Perfect)】

【Skill 3: Purifying Fire (Mastery)】

Lin Chen began to perk up.
The real drama is here.

【Skill 4: Burning Heart Fire Control (Beginner)】

"?"

"No way!"

Lin Chen was startled when he saw the name, but then became excited.

He had seen this skill in the "Beast Taming Manual".

It is a skill unique to the Divine Fox clan, belonging to the level of divine beasts.

But some people also call it:

Skills at the level of celestial beasts.

This doesn't mean it's comparable to a celestial beast's skill, but rather if used well.

Simply put, "Burning Heart and Controlling Fire" is about controlling fire.
Once this skill is activated, the spirit beast's control over fire reaches its peak.

Lin Chen thought of something very exciting.
That's Xiaohong's combo move.

Xiao Hong has never been able to combine two skills, but now that she has activated this skill, she is 100% able to do so.

This is equivalent to combining a super-sized fireball with a flame storm.
It's very simple and straightforward, and it also has a nickname: Skill Fusion Technique.

Lin Chen never expected that the little fox would be able to awaken such a skill.

So, at this moment, his face was beaming with joy.

In other words, awakening this skill is equivalent to having precise control over one's own fire power, and...
It can also be transformed into a new skill through fusion.

"it is good."

Lin Chen shouted, making the little fox, Little White, and the big polar bear's eyes light up with joy.

They knew that their beast tamer was so happy, the little fox must have awakened a good skill.

"Let's get ready to test it out." Lin Chen let go of her hand, but seemed a little reluctant to stop.

The skill "Burning Heart and Controlling Fire" is considered to be on par with the quality of celestial beasts, and there's a reason for that, but unfortunately...
The little fox can't perform to its full potential.

The Burning Heart Fire-Controlling Divine Fox is mostly born from a mutated divine fox, named:

Thousand Fire Fox.

This fox possesses multiple types of flames within its body.

The fusion of skills isn't the most explosive; the fusion of different flames is where this skill reaches its peak.
When this skill was first introduced, many people only considered it a divine skill.

Until one day, the appearance of a Thousand Fire Fox shattered the world's understanding of this skill.

According to historical records, the peak Thousand Fire Fox had nine kinds of demonic fire born in its body, which it fused together using the Burning Heart Fire Control technique.
Finally, he surpassed eight levels and blasted his opponent into nothingness.
