Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 178 Bai Ling's Extraordinary Encounter, the Enlightened Devouring Beast
Tento
National Teachers College

Zhong Nan and Zhang Jin sat in the courtyard, with the latter reporting on the events of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom over the past period.

"Who do you think will win this year's Beast Fighting Tournament, teacher?" Zhang Jin asked.

Zhong Nan thought for a moment and said, "I am also partly responsible for how the last Beast Fighting Tournament turned out this way."

“How can you blame the teacher?” Zhang Jin quickly said.

"Four years ago we were ranked third. I should have realized then that my time was running out," Zhong Nan said.

“Teacher, fortune is only the direction of a country, not the fundamental factor,” Zhang Jin said. “Talent is the fundamental factor.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Nan simply smiled and remained silent.

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed in the sky. Zhang Jin looked up and realized that the once bright and sunny sky had suddenly become incredibly murky.

"What strange weather, it changes so quickly. Teacher, it's going to rain, let's go inside," Zhang Jin said.

“It won’t rain,” Zhong Nan said, looking up as well.

Zhang Jin naturally believed it, because Zhong Nan had previously said it wouldn't rain, and it never rained.

But just a few seconds later, the rain suddenly started pouring down, and it got heavier and heavier.

Zhang Jin didn't have time to think and quickly pushed Zhong Nan inside. Unexpectedly, Zhong Nan said, "I don't have much time left."

"What did you say?"

Zhang Jin pretended not to hear, but he heard it clearly.

Zhong Nan didn't repeat himself, but just looked at the sky and said, "Don't worry, the rain will stop eventually."

After the little fox leveled up, Lin Chen stopped letting it cultivate and instead had it hone its skills in preparation for purification.

Lin Chen had already prepared samples of the contaminated bloodline.

【Starry Sky Beast】

[Contaminated bloodline: 47%]

Samples of hidden bloodlines are hard to find, but samples of contaminated bloodlines are plentiful.

After Lin Chen extracted the data, he obtained the following information:
Conversion rate: 55%

[On the verge of danger, but not a major problem]

Lin Chen then began to contaminate the little fox's bloodline.

In fact, Lin Chen also had many feelings. He had thought that the little fox's corrupted bloodline was plentiful and enough, but he didn't expect it to be so short-lived now.

After a half-day of slumber, the little fox successfully improved its polluted bloodline stats:

[Contaminated bloodline: 44.4568%]

Like Xiaobai, purifying the polluted bloodline did not produce any unusual effects.

Half a month passed while Lin Chen waited patiently, but Bai Ling still did not appear.

However, Xiao Bai actually broke through to level 31 earlier than Lin Chen had planned.

"That's great!" Lin Chen exclaimed happily. This level six spiritual spring was indeed powerful. After observing Xiao Bai's condition, he said:
"Xiao Bai, from now on you don't need to cultivate anymore, just focus on cultivating your skills."

This time, Xiaobai leveled up three times, which already made Lin Chen very satisfied.

A beginner's leveling up isn't usually that fast; the most important thing is having a good foundation.

Little White went to hone its horns, the Unicorn was too lazy, and although the Little Insect King liked to take baths, it was too extravagant for this spiritual spring to have only one spirit beast.

"Alright, you can go in too." Lin Chen said helplessly, looking at the little fox staring at him blankly.

"Goo."

This time, the little fox was quite principled, insisting on practicing its skills for another day before entering the spiritual spring.

Time flies, and almost another week has passed.

Now that almost two months have passed, Lin Chen is starting to worry again.

However, worrying was useless; he couldn't get into that place anyway.

After thinking for a moment, he asked the unicorn, "Little Horn, why can't you open up that space?"

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

It told Lin Chen that the space seemed to be closed off, and it couldn't sense it at all.

Three more days passed, and Bai Ling finally appeared.

She remained unchanged, but Lin Chen noticed that the Devouring Beast had gained weight, while the Red Velvet Chicken hadn't changed much either.

"Are you alright?" Lin Chen asked.

Bai Ling shook her head. She was about to speak when the white mist dissipated, and Lin Chen and Bai Ling appeared in the open space.

Looking up at the sky again, there was no moon to be seen; the sun was shining directly down, and the sunlight was scorching.

Under Lin Chen's questioning, Bai Ling sat on the ground and began to tell Lin Chen what had happened inside.

She told Lin Chen that what he saw outside was completely different from what he saw inside. Although it was also desolate there, there were many mountains, forests, and grasslands, but they were all dilapidated.

Some mountains are missing one side, and some rivers are cut off in the middle.

"Is it big?" Lin Chen asked.

"I...I didn't actually go very far," Bai Ling said somewhat awkwardly. "Shortly after I went in, I saw a huge monster skeleton."

"A huge monster skeleton? How big is it?" Lin Chen asked.

Bai Ling looked around and finally saw a mountain in the distance, which she pointed to.

"You mean you saw a skeleton that was three or four hundred meters tall?" Lin Chen swallowed hard, clearly not believing it.

Spirit beasts can be very large, but those that are three or four hundred meters tall are enormous creatures, and the "Beast Taming Manual" has never recorded them.

“I’m not lying to you, it’s true,” Bai Ling said earnestly. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiu Xiu and the others.”

"And then?" Lin Chen believed Bai Ling.

Bai Ling has never been good at lying.

Moreover, Bai Ling had no reason to lie to him.

"Then, for some reason, Xiu Xiu suddenly stopped walking, stayed on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate."

"Huh?" Lin Chen turned around and glanced at the Devouring Beast.

Bai Ling also told Lin Chen that the reason she came out so late was largely because the Devouring Beast had been in seclusion.

"You've attained enlightenment?" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise. He then glanced back at the Devouring Beast and said, "Xiuxiu, what path have you attained? Show it to me."

The Devouring Beast narrowed its eyes, gesturing for Lin Chen to move further away.

Lin Chen thought to himself that it might not have really undergone a qualitative change. Then, the Devouring Beast opened its blood-red maw and looked at the distant rocks.
Then something amazing happened: the stone flew over on its own, as if it had been sucked in.

"The power hasn't changed much, except that it can still suck things up from a distance." Bai Ling had naturally tried it herself and explained it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was speechless.

I've never heard of the Devouring Beast having this ability before.

It seems that this Devouring Beast has truly evolved.

It seems this opportunity is reserved for the Devouring Beast.

"Bai Ling, do you still remember what that skeleton looked like?" Lin Chen asked.

"Um"

Bai Ling scratched her head and said, "I remember some."

Lin Chen was delighted, and Bai Ling picked up a twig and began to draw on the ground.

However, as he was drawing, Lin Chen's expression suddenly darkened.

Although Bai Ling's drawing was very realistic, it was impossible to tell what kind of spirit beast it was.

However, even if a monster three or four hundred meters tall were drawn, Lin Chen would definitely not recognize it.

"Forget it." Lin Chen shook his head, giving up on the idea of ​​identifying it. He asked, "Are there trees on the moon inside?"

“Yes, it always has.” Bai Ling replied in a surprising way: “And it’s always moonlit night there, there’s never daytime.”

Lin Chen was secretly amazed upon hearing this.

He really wanted to go in and take a look, but it was clear that he couldn't get in.

"It's about time; we should get ready to head back," Lin Chen said.

Bai Ling nodded as well.

Actually, she didn't cultivate much this time. The Red Velvet Chicken was supposed to be the one to enjoy the benefits of the spiritual spring, but it didn't get to eat any of them.

However, Bai Ling doesn't lack spiritual springs even when she goes outside.

Before leaving, Lin Chen pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Bai Ling, try not to tell anyone about what happened inside."

It's strange that only Bai Ling can enter it.

Since Bai Ling can't explain it clearly, there's no need to publicize it; it's not a good thing for her.

"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, but still asked, "Can the teacher tell me?"

"Of course," Lin Chen nodded.

Liu Gu treated them all very well, especially Bai Ling.

"That's fine then." Bai Ling smiled happily when she saw Lin Chen agree.

She didn't care about anyone else, but Liu Gu was very good to her, and she didn't want to deceive him.

On that day, Lin Chen prepared to return to the Spirit Academy. Unlike other students, Lin Chen did not need to rush to the entrance; he only needed to have the unicorn dig open the space.

Lin Chen reaped huge rewards this time. Little White leveled up three times, and the little fox leveled up four times. Moreover, the little fox reached its bottleneck again in the last ten days or so.
This is equivalent to the little fox almost leveling up to level five.

"Go, go back."

Seeing the spatial portal open, the two, along with their spirit beasts, crawled inside.

Outside the Spirit Academy, Zhang Daoren had been keeping a close watch. When he saw the spatial hole that suddenly appeared, he naturally knew that Lin Chen and the others had returned.

"No surprises this time, right?" Zhang Daoren asked.

Bai Ling looked a little guilty. She wasn't good at lying, so Lin Chen immediately said, "Everything went smoothly."

"That's good." Zhang Daoren also breathed a sigh of relief. Since these two troublemakers hadn't caused any real trouble, it meant that the problem wasn't too serious. So he said, "Everything's fine here. Just go back and find your mentor."

Lin Chen and Bai Ling clasped their hands in greeting, then left with the spirit beast. They then heard Zhang Daoren say, "Bring the little insect king back later; we've already found it a sanctuary."

Upon returning to the faculty office, Bai Ling excitedly rushed over and said, "Teacher, I'm back!"

Liu Gu was sorting out medicinal herbs when he saw Bai Ling's appearance and scolded her, "You're a young lady now, don't you know how to be mindful of your image?"

"The teacher is so strange; she's never said that to me before," Bai Ling said.

A hint of unease flickered in Liu Gu's eyes, but fortunately Lin Chen interrupted him in time, saying, "Teacher."

Liu Gu nodded at Lin Chen, glanced at the spirit beasts behind Lin Chen, and said, "It seems that this time you have gained a lot."

Lin Chen nodded, smiled, and said, "There are some things I'd like to ask you to take a look at, teacher."

"No rush," Liu Gu said. "You've had a long journey, so rest for a day and we can see what happens tomorrow."

"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.

Liu Gu had anticipated their return, so he prepared a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, Lin Chen went back.

Returning to the dormitory after half a year, the room was covered in dust, but Lin Chen and the group of spirit beasts felt at ease.

Although there are no high-grade spiritual springs here, it is still a safe haven for them.

Little White and the Great White Bear started cleaning, and Little Fox rushed to the piggy bank immediately.
After a busy period, they finally had some free time, and Lin Chen and his group of spirit beasts fell into a deep sleep.

This was also the best and most restful sleep they had had in the past six months.

After finishing his meal the next day, Lin Chen set off to find Liu Gu.

After returning this time, the next thing to do is the Beast Fighting Tournament. In order to win the final reward, Lin Chen must ensure that he has all the necessary trump cards.

When he arrived, Bai Ling was having the Devouring Beast demonstrate its ability to devour objects through objects. Liu Gu was secretly amazed after watching it. He looked at Lin Chen and asked, "Is what she said true?"

Lin Chen nodded. He didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

However, he didn't say it in front of Bai Ling.

Finally, he asked curiously, "Teacher, is there something wrong with Bai Ling?"

"What do you mean 'a little problem'?" Liu Gu asked loudly, sounding guilty. "I think you're just jealous of other people's luck."

"."

Lin Chen noticed Liu Gu's guilty conscience, but he didn't say anything and just smiled slightly.

Liu Gu actually knew that, given Lin Chen's intelligence, he had already seen through the problem.

However, the matter of the Imperial Preceptor is of great importance, and it must not be disclosed to the outside world without the permission of the Imperial Preceptor Academy and the higher authorities.

Liu Gu didn't want to continue on this topic, and instead asked, "What did you say you wanted to ask yesterday?"

"That's how it is." Lin Chen first explained Xiao Bai's situation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Gu was extremely surprised and said, "The barbaric bloodline has always been difficult to cultivate, yet it has broken through again?"

He then nodded and continued, "It's okay, go ahead and try."

They then went to the courtyard, where Liu Gu summoned his spirit beast. Not all of his spirit beasts were support-type; he also had a combat-type one, level 48, which could easily suppress Xiao Bai.

Lin Chen gave Xiao Bai some instructions, and Niu Niu felt uneasy.

If this breakthrough becomes uncontrollable again, then this improvement is essentially meaningless.

A controllable fourth-tier savage bloodline and an uncontrollable savage bloodline are completely different skills.

"Moo!"

Xiao Bai roared, its bloodline energy surging, and then its whole body was flooded with red light.

As the red light gradually transformed, finally settling on a deep crimson color, Xiaobai's pupils also turned scarlet.

At this moment, Liu Gu, who was standing at a distance, also sensed Xiao Bai's powerful aura.
In Liu Gu's opinion, the Savage Bloodline is truly the most suitable skill for Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai's ability is to unleash a burst of power, instantly ending the battle.

What it needs is not multiple skills, but to continuously increase its explosive power.

The savage bloodline greatly boosted Xiaobai's strength by more than ten levels.

As Xiaobai's primal bloodline gradually awakens.
First order.

Two-stage.

Third order.

Level four.

This time, Xiaobai's skin tone was completely different.

Lin Chen began to feel nervous.
If Xiaobai's savage bloodline is still out of control this time, then he will have to devise a new mental training plan for Xiaobai.

Just as I was getting worried, Little White let out a moo that echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

Lin Chen looked up in surprise and saw Xiao Bai staring at him.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Little White, is this a fourth-stage Savage Bloodline?"

Xiao Bai nodded at the bull's head, and Lin Chen's heart finally settled down.
After this breakthrough, Xiaobai was still able to control the Savage Bloodline, which was completely beyond Lin Chen's expectations.

To confirm this information, Lin Chen tried twice more before finally putting his mind at ease.

"Anything else?" Liu Gu also noticed Xiao Bai's improvement this time.

The fourth stage of the Savage Bloodline will definitely make Xiaobai a powerful weapon in this Beast Fighting Tournament.

"Yes." Lin Chen gestured for the little fox to step forward and said, "There's also something about the little fox."

Liu Gu glanced at the little fox and heard Lin Chen say, "Its fourth skill is Burning Heart Fire Control."

"Burning Heart and Controlling Fire." Liu Gu didn't understand at first, but when he did, he froze on the spot: "What? Burning Heart and Controlling Fire?!"
