Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 199 The Demon Bull Makes its Debut: One Pounce Shakes Mountains and Rivers!

Lin Chen thought he had misread it.

The signature skill of the Wild Boar is the appearance of the Pig King.

Despite having the word "king" in its name, the skill's power has always been a joke.

The fifth skill that Xiaobai awakens seems to have a similar meaning to the appearance of the Pig King?
"It shouldn't be that bad, right? Isn't it said that the higher the level, the stronger the skills?" Lin Chen thought to himself as he looked at the introduction of the Demon Bull's appearance:

[After activating the Eternal Demon Horn, the bull horn serves as a medium to draw upon the Netherworld's Mysterious Qi, summoning the illusory image of the ancient Demon Bull Ancestor, which lunges forward to strike the target.]

Upon seeing the introduction, Lin Chen was genuinely taken aback.

Are there prerequisite skills?
The so-called prerequisite skill is that you must learn and use this skill before you can use the next skill.

This skill is not entirely absent from the "Beast Taming Manual," but it is extremely rare.

Before this, Lin Chen had actually guessed some of it.

After a spirit beast evolves, many things will change along with it, but these changes are characteristic and phased.

Like Xiaobai transforming from a plow-horned beast into a Kui spirit beast, the characteristic change is the development of the use of ox horns.

Therefore, its fifth skill is also related to bull horns, which did not surprise Lin Chen.

However, the true power of this demonic bull remains to be seen.

It would be a bit ridiculous to say that its final power is the same as the appearance of the Pig King.

Now that Xiaobai knows Lin Chen very well, Niu Niu knew from Lin Chen's expression that this skill was not very reliable.

The previous times the little fox awakened its skills, Lin Chen's pupils widened after just touching it, which was a sign of excitement.

This time, Lin Chen's eyes didn't widen; instead, they showed more worry.

Clearly, it's hard to say whether this skill is good or bad.

"Don't overthink it. With your current talent, your skills won't be too bad," Lin Chen said to Xiao Bai.

"Goo!"

Xiaobai nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen led them into the yard, and this time the great white bear carried over a large wooden stake.

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Little Black, where did you get this wooden stake?"

The polar bear pointed in the direction of the Heavenly Shadow Guards, and Lin Chen immediately understood. It seemed that the polar bear wanted the Heavenly Shadow Guards to be its lumberjacks.

However, this wooden stake is indeed quite large.

Lin Chen looked at Xiao Bai and asked, "Are you ready?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Lin Chen waved his hand, and Xiao Bai immediately entered the second stage of the Savage Bloodline and activated the Eternal Calamity Demon Horn.

However, after activating the Eternal Demon Horn, Xiaobai stood still, somewhat at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked. "You don't know how to release it?"

"Moo!"

Little White shook its head, telling Lin Chen that the beast power of the second stage of the Savage Bloodline was insufficient to activate it.

"No way!" Lin Chen exclaimed in astonishment.

The greatest strength of the Savage Bloodline is that it greatly enhances Xiaobai's beastly power to a new level.

In this state, Thousand Shadows Return to One can be used up to fourteen times, and can also complete the combination skill with Soul Suppressing Hoof.

It's important to know that both of these skills are at the Divine Enlightenment level.

But now Xiaobai is telling him that in this state it can't even unleash the most basic Demon Bull Appearance.

Surprised, Lin Chen also urged Xiao Bai to continue improving.

Xiao Bai responded and raised his Savage Bloodline to Tier 3.

"Can it be used?" Lin Chen asked expectantly.

Xiao Bai shook his head.

"Still not?" Lin Chen swallowed hard, thinking that the demonic bull's appearance must have been too taxing.

What kind of skill is this?
"Upgrade to the fourth stage," Lin Chen instructed.

Little White let out a moo, raising its Savage Bloodline to the fourth stage. Finally, it nodded to Lin Chen, indicating that in this state, it could use the Demon Bull to enter the fray.

Lin Chen was astonished after hearing this. Looking at Xiao Bai's horns, he saw that they were now covered with dense black divine patterns, and the density seemed to be even greater than before.

"If Eternal Demon Horn and Demon Bull's Appearance are linked skills, then when upgrading Eternal Demon Horn, can Demon Bull's Appearance also be upgraded at the same time?" Lin Chen wondered, recalling the skill description of Eternal Demon Horn.
The Eternal Demon Horn is the power of gods and demons that can be unsealed within it.

In retrospect, the appearance of the Demon Bull is likely a further release of this divine and demonic power.

Clearly, Xiaobai ultimately failed to comprehend the power of the gods and instead turned to the power of the demons.

After regaining his senses, Lin Chen led the little foxes and the others far away, then picked up his notebook and said to Xiaobai, "Let's begin."

Little White let out a moo, using all its strength.

Fifth skill:
The Demon Bull makes its appearance.

start!
Gulu!

Lin Chen nervously swallowed. Xiao Bai was his primary combat force, and he naturally hoped that Xiao Bai's strength could be greatly improved.

As Xiaobai activated its fifth skill, the black divine runes on the Eternal Calamity Horn began to pulsate, seemingly about to detach from the horn and take flight.

In the next second, the mutation popped up.

All that could be seen was a twelve-zhang-long (approximately 33 meters) dark azure light bursting from the tip of Xiaobai's horn. The light did not travel very high, but the black divine patterns truly burst forth, swirling and converging in the air.

Upon seeing this strange phenomenon, Lin Chen's pupils dilated, followed by a secret delight.

Although we can't see its power yet, just looking at it makes its power terrifying.

The little fox was timid, and upon seeing this, it jumped onto the polar bear's shoulder for protection.

Xiao Hei gently stroked its head, and immediately began to observe Xiao Bai's changes.

After the black divine runes completely converged, a void projection about twice the size of Xiaobai condensed above Xiaobai's head.

Lin Chen stared intently, and his pupils immediately widened in shock.

He had always seen demons on TV, but now, for the first time, he had seen a real demon.

The demon bull's pupils were terrifyingly deep, and its horns were more than twice as long as Little White's, and were pitch black.

Even from a distance, one can still feel its demonic aura.

The moment the demonic bull appeared, Lin Chen vaguely heard the sound of chains being dragged and the bull mooing. Upon closer inspection, he realized...

The phantom of the demonic bull was wrapped in ten demon-sealing chains, and its eyes were like burning blood moons.

Seeing that the time was right, Little White let out a moo.

Lin Chen stared intently; he had already guessed that this fifth skill was an active skill.

With a bellow from Xiaobai, the Primordial Demon Bull Ancestral Spirit, bound by iron chains above its head, roared to the sky. Then it broke free of the two shortest iron chains and made a diving attack.

At this moment, the Demon Bull's aura dominated the entire arena.

Lin Chen didn't think anything of it, but Xiao Bai and the little fox both started to have difficulty breathing.

The moment the chains snapped, it raised its massive bull head and let out a deafening roar, a roar like a thunderclap, as if it were a declaration of its liberation from its restraints.

Then, the Primordial Demon Bull lowered its head and assumed a pouncing attack posture. Its massive body, like a black meteor, charged forward with overwhelming force.

Wherever it passed, huge ravines cracked open in the ground, and the surrounding sand and gravel were shattered and flew into the air.

Finally, it lunged forward fiercely, unleashing a destructive force that instantly shattered the massive wooden stake placed in front of it.

In the final moments of the explosion, the demonic bull vanished, and the world fell silent, leaving only the traces of destruction on the ground as proof that it had been there!
This reminded Lin Chen of a certain word:

One pounce and the mountains and rivers are subdued!

Gulu!

Lin Chen swallowed hard.

The little fox swallowed hard, while the polar bear drooled.

Unlike Lin Chen, the little fox, Xiao Hei is also a spirit beast that pursues the aesthetics of violence. It greatly admires this extreme aesthetics of violence.

"Moo!"

At this moment, Xiaobai turned around and glanced at Lin Chen. After sensing Lin Chen's emotions, Niu Niu happily barked.

It seems that Lin Chen is quite satisfied with his fifth skill.

Lin Chen stepped forward and asked, "Little Bai, how's your stamina?"

After taking a look, Xiaobai told Lin Chen that after the Demon Bull was released, most of its beastly power was drained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but gasp.

The fourth stage of savage bloodline is merely the ticket to unlock the Demon Bull's appearance.
If Xiaobai hasn't mastered the power of the fourth-tier Savage Bloodline yet, does that mean that when Xiaobai awakens this fifth skill, he won't be able to use it?

However, reflecting on the power of the Demon Bull's appearance just now, it was indeed well worth the price.

Even if the savage bloodline of the fourth stage is completely drained, that's normal.

Lin Chen smiled; Xiao Bai's fifth skill was even more powerful than he had imagined.

It seems that this year's beast fighting tournament is going to be quite successful.

Lin Chen really didn't believe that their two spirit beasts could unleash such power.

"The Demon Bull has arrived! It consumes a lot of energy, but its power is immense!"

Lin Chen began to record quickly, while recalling Xiao Bai's evolutionary process.

Upon closer examination, Xiaobai's evolution is traceable.

Xiao Bai's key mutation can be traced back to the Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

The Soul-Suppressing Hoof skill is inherently related to demons, and then Xiaobai awakened the Savage Bloodline.

This skill needs no further explanation; it's entirely due to being corrupted by demonic influence.

The fourth skill is then Eternal Demon Horn, which is equivalent to revealing one's hand.

This fifth skill can be understood as Xiaobai gradually unsealing the demonic power within his body.

Lin Chen also knew that Xiao Bai was going further and further down the path of demonic cultivation. Fortunately, there was no distinction between justice and demonic paths on Blue Star at present.

Most of the spirit beasts that cultivate dark attributes are actually demonic.

The laws of various countries on Earth also stipulate that gods and demons cannot be defined by attributes, but rather by human beings.

Therefore, Lin Chen doesn't need to worry about this aspect.

As he wrote, Lin Chen recalled the ten iron chains that Demon Bull had worn when he first appeared.

"Little Black, were those two chains that the demonic bull phantom broke free from earlier?" Lin Chen asked the polar bear.

It's obvious even without looking that the polar bear was watching the most intently.

The polar bear nodded.

This made Lin Chen ponder for a moment.
Could it be that the evolution of the Demon Bull is such that it breaks free from two shackles with each stage of advancement?
If that's the case, then it would be extremely interesting.

Once the ten chains are completely broken, will this demon bull run away?

Putting those thoughts aside, Lin Chen closed his diary.

Today marks the day of their third breakthrough, so naturally they had to celebrate with a good meal.

Lin Chen had the Heavenly Shadow Guards buy a batch of ingredients, and the family enjoyed a good meal together that evening.

After finishing their meal, Xiaobai and Xiaohong immediately began their cultivation.

One went to play with its horns, and the other went to play with fire, which made the great polar bear, who was tidying up, feel a bit disappointed.

"I'm already level 17, it's not far off," Lin Chen began to make empty promises.

The polar bear nodded emphatically, regaining its spirits.

On the very night Lin Chen celebrated their third breakthrough, a group of people gathered at a secluded manor in Baidi City.

These people come from all skin colors.

Looking at their ranks, they are all shockingly high.

The highest one is level 80.

Even the weakest among them is level 73.

There were nine people in total, including Taylor.

However, Taylor's level is only 60, so he obviously won't participate in this operation.

“Your boss should have already told you what the objective of this operation is,” Taylor began.

The pupils of the eight people on the field quickly focused.

Of course they know.

Their goal was to attack the Grand Preceptor of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

Attacking their national advisor within the territory of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom is tantamount to courting death.

Of these eight people, some were lured in by the House of Representatives with promises of benefits, but many more were threatened.

The Youlan Empire's usual tactic is also a form of threat.

The highest-ranking beast tamer, level 80, was brought here under duress; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to a place like this.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged your escape route," Taylor said. "You just need to use your spirit beasts to attack Zhong Nan, not kill him."

"You may leave once the test is over."

"but."

Taylor's pupils contracted, and he said, "Let me make this clear from the start: if you are unfortunately arrested, the mastermind behind you is the Secret Order."

The world is not only composed of nations; there are also forces that exist independently of nations.

The largest of these is the hermitage.

However, this secret order has a bad reputation, specializing in arson, murder, and robbery, so it has been designated as a terrorist organization by the six great powers.

The Youlan Empire dealt the greatest blow to the Hermitage.

What the other five great powers were unaware of was that two years ago, the Youlan Empire dispatched an elite squad to secretly execute Bendensky, the leader of the Hermitage, and the Hermitage was now actually under the control of the Youlan Empire.

The majority of the assassins sent this time were from the Secret Order.

After all, the Cangling Ancient Kingdom is not a small country, and we will definitely have to investigate it thoroughly.

If the Cangling Ancient Kingdom learns that the mastermind behind this is the Youlan Empire, it will undoubtedly demand an explanation, and may even be willing to wage war.

"When should we make our move?" asked the level 80 Beastmaster.

"We don't know yet. Just stay here and don't go out for the time being. Please remember that."

Taylor left after he finished speaking.

He truly didn't know when to make his move; he needed information from Gu An to get all of this.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day was the match against the Northern Sea Kingdom. The physicians of the Spirit Academy reassessed Ning Tian's spirit beast's injuries and concluded that it was unable to participate in the battle.

Everyone was mentally prepared for this.

Zhang Daoren also found Wu Chen and the other two team leaders and said, "Now that the mission has been given, we just need to aim for the top two, so we can go all out in this battle."

After saying that, Zhang Daoren said to Wu Chen, "The second-year students are already down by one point, so your task is to try your best to win two more games."

Wu Chen nodded.

The forces that the Northern Sea Kingdom has sent this time are not weak, and according to the intelligence, the Cangling Ancient Kingdom is at a significant disadvantage.

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Daoren looked at Lin Chen and said, "Your freshmen are the key. It would be best if you could win all three battles."

Lin Chen, sweating profusely, said, "Mentor, you really think highly of us."

Master Zhang simply smiled and remained silent.

Three wins are just an expectation, but Zhang Daoren believes that Lin Chen and his team can achieve two wins, after all, he and Fang You are there.
