Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 188 Leaked Information, Tracking Down the Mole

The next day, Lin Chen got up, ate breakfast, and was just about to go out when the little fox told him that it didn't want to go out today and wanted to stay in the restaurant to train.

Lin Chen was taken aback, but did not object.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time the little fox has competed in such a large public arena, so it's understandable that it wants to achieve good results.

As for Xiaobai, he has already been tested on the field.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen decided to let Xiao Bai stay and cultivate together as well.

Xiao Bai has also been racing against time to break through level 32.

According to Lin Chen, there is a high chance that the level 32 will awaken the fifth skill, at which point it will have an extra trump card.

But Xiaobai told Lin Chen that it had reached a very small bottleneck, but not much. Then it complained to Lin Chen that it wanted to cultivate separately from Xiaohong.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Did you two have a fight?"

These two little ones are usually very close. They occasionally quarrel, but it's always just minor squabbles.

The little fox lowered its head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Bai told Lin Chen that it wasn't that it disliked the little fox, but that the little fox was developing a demonic fire nuclear bomb, which was interfering with its cultivation.

Xiaobai now has only one goal: to reach level 32 and awaken the fifth skill.

After all, this beast fighting tournament is not only about the face of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, but the rewards offered by the Tian Shu Pavilion are also top-notch.

Lin Chen looked at the little fox and asked, "Can you sense the breakthrough?"

The little fox knew that Lin Chen was asking about the Burning Heart Fire Controlling Technique. It nodded and actually told Lin Chen that its fusion speed was now more than twice as fast as before. It believed that if it continued to work hard, it would definitely be able to break through.

Hearing this made Lin Chen somewhat expectant.
If the Burning Heart Fire Control can break through, the little fox should be able to unlock the True Fire mode fusion.
The power of the Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb in True Fire Mode will undoubtedly be on another level.

After finishing his meal, Lin Chen put the little fox into his beast-taming space, while Little White and the Great White Bear stayed at the restaurant to cultivate.

Although the Heavenly Shadow Guards are protecting this place, Lin Chen is still worried about Little White, who is all alone here. Having the Great White Bear accompany Little White is a good idea.

The polar bear was naturally overjoyed.

Although it also wants to watch the competition, the Great White Bear's primary goal right now is to help Little White and Little Red level up quickly.

Today's newcomer is Fang You. Yesterday's one win and two losses have suddenly increased the pressure on the Cangling Ancient Kingdom to advance.

Therefore, Zhang Daoren gave Fang You the order to win this battle, even if it meant revealing some of his trump cards.

The reason is simple: if they fail to advance to the knockout stage in the first round and fall into the loser's bracket, they will have to play more matches and expose more of their weaknesses.

But this battle will be tough, as Fang You will be facing the strongest student of the Youlan Empire: Dick.

Dick's two spirit beasts are very special, unlike the spirit beasts commonly found in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

His first spirit beast was the Crocodile Spirit Beast.

Crocodile is the crocodile, and spirit is the spirit.

That's right.

This is a spirit beast that will evolve into an elf in the future.

Earth is vast and teeming with diverse species, which has led to numerous regional differences.

For example, both the Cangling Ancient Kingdom and the Western Kingdoms have dragon races, but they are different.

Western dragons have wings, are darker in color, and have a generally smaller body.

However, once they reach adulthood, the Eastern dragons are incredibly domineering, overwhelming the Western dragons in terms of sheer presence.

For example, the phoenix of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom is called the immortal bird in the West.

Elves are mythical creatures unique to the West, and they are almost non-existent in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

The Cangling Ancient Kingdom once tried to introduce it, but it didn't work out well. Although there were some successes, there were very few cases.

Later, Western countries began to regulate the sale and import of these mythical beasts.

Dick's second spirit beast, which evolved into the phoenix, is named the Danling Bird.

Both of these spirit beasts are now sacred beasts, and if they were to fight Fang You with all their might, the outcome would be uncertain.

Lin Chen arrived at the scene and had just spoken with Fang You and Zhang Suqing when Dick arrived.

Dick had blond hair and seemed to have a somewhat eccentric personality.

He walked up to Fang You, pointed to his own eyes, and then pointed to Fang You.

Lin Chen and Fang You remained unmoved, but Zhang Suqing said disdainfully, "We haven't even fought yet, what are you pretending for?"

“Think carefully about the meaning of his gesture,” Lin Chen said.

Zhang Suqing was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Does Dick mean that he has seen through Fang You?
Lin Chen and the other two immediately sensed something was wrong.
It seems they've fallen behind in intelligence this time?
Just as Dick made his move, a young man with yellow skin next to him said, "Dick, there are some things you should know, there's no need to publicize them."

Upon hearing this, Dick's smile instantly froze. He looked at the yellow-skinned youth with displeasure and said, "What? Gray, are you feeling sorry for him? Oh, I almost forgot, your ancestors were from this country."

“Alright, Dick.” The young man called Gray’s pupils contracted, and he said, “I told you, I was born in the Youlan Empire.”

“Bloodline cannot be changed.” Dick did not back down, but instead mocked, “If I remember correctly, you also have the name of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, what was it again? Li Ming, right?”

Upon hearing this, Gray clenched his fist, but Dyson, who was standing next to him, pulled him back and said, "Dick, that's enough."

“He provoked me first,” Dick said with a sudden laugh. “I’m the captain, and all decisions should be made by me.”

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Gray's eyes, and he clenched his fist.

But after a moment, he chose to give in.

Inside the restaurant, Zhu Tong, Liu Gu, and Zhang Daoren sat in a room with the doors tightly closed. The three were not discussing Bai Ling's matter, but rather the intelligence case they were discussing.

"Leaked information?"

"impossible."

Zhu Tong glanced at Zhang Daoren and shook his head, saying, "There are definitely spies from various countries in the Spirit Academy, but we keep the information about these students under a high level of secrecy."

“Dean, I don’t want to think this way either, but judging from yesterday’s battle, it’s a possibility,” Zhang Daoren said quickly.

"What are you trying to say?" Zhu Tong sensed the hidden meaning in his words.

Zhang Daoren did not answer, so Liu Gu said, "I remember that before each year's students came to compete, their information would be submitted to Tian Shu Pavilion."

“That’s right,” Zhu Tong said. “I personally escorted this intelligence.”

"What, are you doubting me?"

"We wouldn't dare," Zhang Daoren immediately said, cupping his hands in greeting. "We know the Dean's character, but Tiandu..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tong's face darkened.

What Zhu Tong disliked most about Tiandu was its complexity.

In a place like Tiandu, it's not about reasoning, it's about interests.

Truth can be twisted into fallacy as long as it serves one's own interests.

"It shouldn't be that bad," Zhu Tong said, shaking his head. "This beast fighting tournament is related to the resource allocation of Heavenly Beast Island. Tian Shu Pavilion and Tian Du are the biggest beneficiaries. They have no reason to risk these things."

"That's what I don't understand either. I hope we're overthinking it," Zhang Daoren sighed.

"No matter what, this matter must not be leaked," Zhu Tong said. "If the situation is the same as yesterday, I will personally lead a team to investigate."

Dick and Fang You are both beast warriors, so the entire competition will be divided into two rounds.

Because Fang You is a Nine Tribulation Beast, many viewers believe that the strongest among the new generation is not Lin Chen, but Fang You.

After all, Lin Chen's spirit beast's theoretical strength was really too poor.

Therefore, both sides were recognized by the audience as the strongest students, and the venue was already packed before the competition even started.

After both sides were ready, the competition officially began. The first match was between the Nine-Tribulation Beast and the Crocodile Spirit Beast. From the start, the Nine-Tribulation Beast actively engaged in battle, wanting to end the fight as soon as possible. However, the Crocodile Spirit Beast was a spirit-type beast with a very unique fighting style.

Its entire body is covered with blue-green scales, with glowing green patterns shining through the scales, symbolizing the flow of natural energy. After the Nine Tribulations Beast entered the Explosive Flame Body state, the Crocodile Spirit Beast did not hesitate at all and entered its own evolution state.

Upon entering the Sacred Beast state and activating the power of the spirit, the bone plates unfold into wing-shaped energy membranes, surrounded by a flow of elemental particles.

This looks very strange.
A crocodile-like spirit.

But its fighting power is visible to the naked eye.

According to the information, its strongest skill is Crocodile King's Descent, which unleashes the power of the spirits, fully unfolds its bone plates and wing membranes, enters the elemental overload state, and gains melee and ranged attack states.

The Nine Tribulations Beast is naturally no match for it in melee combat, but it seems to have figured out all of the Nine Tribulations Beast's skills, which puts the Nine Tribulations Beast in a very passive position, being pulled back and forth by ranged skills.

Finally, Fang You couldn't hold back any longer and was ready to go all out, but Lin Chen stopped her:
"Admit defeat."

Fang You was taken aback and looked at Lin Chen with confusion.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen said bluntly, "You can't beat it."

Upon hearing this, Fang You took a deep breath and calmed down.

In melee combat, the Nine-Tribulation Beast has the upper hand, but the opponent's ranged attacks with magic can wear it down until it dies.

Continuing to play, the odds of winning are unclear.

After Fang You conceded defeat, the entire arena erupted in boos. Many spectators from the Cangling Ancient Kingdom were extremely dissatisfied, and some even shouted out loud:
"Are the students at the Spirit Academy all this bad now?"

Lin Chen and Fang You were both in a good mood, but Zhang Suqing was starting to lose her composure.

After watching the whole thing, it was exactly the same as their analysis yesterday.

Lin Chen comforted her, saying, "Let's finish the second match first and try to win one and lose one."

Fang You nodded.

One win and one loss equals 1 point; two wins equals 2 points.

If you win the free-for-all, you get 2 points.

After the Nine Tribulations Beast conceded defeat, the Second Spirit Beast continued the battle.

Golden Feather Beast versus Danling Bird.

This match is much more exciting; it's a battle of firepower.

The Golden Feather Beast also exerted its strength right from the start. It knew that the Nine Tribulations Beast had lost and it had to get revenge.

Otherwise, neither Fang You nor the Cangling Ancient Kingdom would be able to keep their composure.

Both spirit beasts are sacred beasts of the same level, but they are both ranged combatants, and their battles are a clash of skills.

Like the little fox, the Danling Bird is a fire-attribute spirit beast, its entire body covered in crimson feathers with gradually shimmering gold tips, resembling flowing magma. Its head resembles a rooster, but its beak is sharp like a falcon's, and its eyes are amber, with an inextinguishable flame flickering within them.

The two sides fought back and forth from the start, and in the end it was a contest of their ultimate moves.

The Danling Bird cried out and unleashed its fourth skill:
[Red Beak Piercing the Sun]

It flapped its wings and spat out a high-speed piercing firestone from its mouth.

Although the stone may seem insignificant at this moment, its damage can be extremely terrifying.

The Danling Bird often inhabits craters or near lava veins, feeding on the pure fire element in the magma, and its fighting style is berserk.

Unfortunately, it has finally met its match this time.

Ever since being hit by Little Red's demonic fire nuclear bomb, the Golden Feather Beast has been thinking about it day and night and has been training diligently ever since it returned.

Although Crimson Beak Piercing the Sun is powerful, it is not even close to the difference between the Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb and the Crimson Beak Piercing the Sun.

The Golden Feather Beast also waved all its feathers, and then activated its ultimate move, Meteor Feather Burst.

In the clash between the two, the Golden Feather Beast could almost be described as having a complete victory.

Seeing this, Fang You breathed a sigh of relief, and both he and the Golden Feather Beast were filled with emotion.

It wasn't that the Golden Feather Beast was too weak, but rather that Lin Chen's spirit beasts were all too abnormal.

The referee then announced a win and a loss, with each team receiving +1 point.

Dick seemed very unhappy when he heard the result. He muttered something and then left.

Lin Chen glanced at Gray, the Asian man behind Dick, and narrowed his eyes.

"You were also angered by him?" Zhang Suqing asked in surprise.

Lin Chen didn't say anything, but turned around and glanced at Fang You, only to find that Fang You was comforting the Nine Tribulations Beast.

Only then did Lin Chen remember that the Nine Tribulation Beast was already level 32, so...
"It has a fifth skill?" Lin Chen asked.

Fang You nodded, but he still said, "However, we should have lost this match. The Nine Tribulations Beast has a fifth skill, and the opponent must have one too."

Fang You secured a small victory, finally silencing the audience's murmurs.

Dick is the strongest among the new generation of the Empire, so even if Fang You and the opponent are evenly matched, everyone can accept it.

Moreover, it's still the preliminary round, so it's impossible to go all out.

Based on past experience, the fifth skill of a spirit beast is often the key to winning the game.

However, going all out usually only happens in the knockout stage.

After Fang You's match, it was Wu Chen's turn.

Lin Chen also went to watch. Wu Chen's opponents weren't particularly strong, and he easily won both matches.

The student representing the second year of university is Ning Tian.

Ning Tian's strength is at the bottom among the second-year students, so he only needs to go all out today.

In the end, they won both matches.

Therefore, by the end of the day, the Beast Fighting Tournament's results and points had undergone tremendous changes:

The Youlan Empire has four wins, one loss, and one draw, with 9 points.

The Cangling Ancient Kingdom has two losses, three wins, and one draw, with a total of 7 points.

Nanfen Ancient Kingdom, five losses and one win, 2 points.

Dongying Kingdom, four losses and two wins, with 4 points.

Beiming Kingdom: 4 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, 9 points.

The ancient kingdom of Xijun has three wins, one loss, and one draw, with a total of 7 points.

Many people are pleased with this score.

However, only those who watched the whole thing would notice the problem.

Although the three matches were good, overall, the students from the Cangling Ancient Kingdom had a tough time.

That evening, Lin Chen and the other two team leaders were summoned to a meeting again. Zhang Daoren immediately said, "There's no need to speculate anymore. The Dean has personally intervened in the investigation."

Upon hearing this, all three fell silent.

The answer is already obvious.

“You don’t need to be the detectives,” Zhang Daoren said, looking at them. “Your task is simply to play the game well.”

As he spoke, Zhang Daoren first glanced at Lin Chen, then quickly looked him over.

Compared to others, Lin Chen is the most trustworthy.

Even though his combat strength is rumored to be low.

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Daoren said, "Tomorrow is the final match of the points competition. We must make it into the top three."
