Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 221 The Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan, Contracting the Third Spirit Beast

Liu Gu was not joking. A month after Lin Chen became obsessed with studying war chess, he discovered something.

He upgraded.

In other words, he has now reached level 19.

This delighted the great polar bear, who immediately ran ten laps around the yard.

Lin Chen was extremely surprised, wondering how many levels Little White and the others had leveled up.

Lin Chen was also very happy. He was looking forward to seeing what the Great White Bear would look like after successfully completing its Law Evolution.

Just three days after Lin Chen leveled up, Liu Gu came to Lin Chen and asked him to go to the medicine storehouse to get something, saying that the reward from Tian Shu Pavilion had arrived.

The rewards from the Tian Shu Pavilion are two: a thousand-year-old demon core and a celestial beast egg.

The Heavenly Beast Island hasn't been opened yet, so it can only contain thousand-year-old demon cores.

Lin Chen found Instructor Xiao and learned that the thousand-year-old demon core had indeed arrived.

“Yours is the best. Everyone else took it, saying they wanted to save the best for you,” Professor Xiao said with a smile.

Lin Chen was taken aback.

After the Beast Fighting Tournament returned, Wu Chen and the others left the academy, and Ning Tian and the others also went out to train.

If Lin Chen had his spirit beast by his side, he would also go out to train.

Lin Chen accepted it and thanked him.

"Go back and have Liu Gu handle it for you. Don't waste it," Instructor Xiao said.

"If this thousand-year-old demon core is divided into three parts, how long will it last?" Lin Chen asked.

"It should last about a year," Professor Xiao said.

Lin Chen was very satisfied with the answer. He then left the medicine storehouse and returned to the mentor's academy, handing the thousand-year-old demon core to Liu Gu.

"What kind of product do you want?" Liu Gu asked.

"Can it be made into a pendant?" Lin Chen asked.

Previously, due to Xiaobai's obsession with cleanliness, the pendant became a unique accessory for his spirit beast.

Liu Gu nodded and divided the thousand-year-old demon core into three parts for Lin Chen, then added sandalwood to refine it, and finally Lin Chen carved it himself.

This was a huge project, taking Lin Chen a full week to complete.

"This is yours." Lin Chen handed a bear pendant to the polar bear, which was overjoyed to receive it.

Ever since Lin Chen reached level 19, the first thing the Great White Bear does every morning when he wakes up is to check if Lin Chen has leveled up.

You should know that when Lin Chen reached level 10, Xiao Hong happened to be asleep that day, and Lin Chen laughed at it for a long time.

Time flies, and another two weeks have passed. Lin Chen still hasn't leveled up, but Zhu Tong found him and said he would take him on a mission.

"What mission?"

"The bastard child you and Bai Ling left behind."

"what?"

“The Little Insect King,” Zhu Tong said.

Lin Chen was embarrassed and said, "Dean, you can't just say things like that."

Lin Chen was quite looking forward to this mission. Since the Little Insect King left, Lin Chen was worried that it might not be able to adapt.

The Zerg are driven by the law of the jungle; they will constantly fight and devour each other until a new Zerg king is confirmed.

Therefore, although the Little Insect King has the advantage of bloodline, it still has to go through a life-or-death ordeal to become the Insect King.

Zhu Tong took Lin Chen to a secret realm. Lin Chen entered and saw that the secret realm was quite large.

"Dean, how many secret realms are there around our Spirit Academy?" Lin Chen asked.

“This is impossible to quantify,” Zhu Tong said. “Mount Ling was no ordinary place in the primordial era; it is rumored that there may be a dragon vein hidden underground.”

Speaking of dragon veins, Lin Chen thought of Zhong Nan and Bai Ling. She had been in Tiandu for almost two months, and he wondered how well she was adapting.

Tento
National Teachers College

Bai Ling has gradually adapted to life here. She learns new knowledge almost every day, such as the things that the National Academy of Education has to deal with and what its responsibilities are.

Zhong Nan rarely paid attention to Bai Ling. Just like Yu Xiu, he took over the Devouring Beast and then handed over the task of teaching Bai Ling to Zhang Jin.

"Senior brother, what is the Bagua City plan?" Bai Ling asked curiously, scanning the map of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

This is what she needs to learn today.

“Each generation of national advisors has its own achievements. For example, the first national advisor, Gu Wei, achieved the recovery of lost territories and the expulsion of foreign enemies. The second national advisor stabilized the country, and the third national advisor developed the country’s strength. This Bagua City is the achievement of our teacher.” Zhang Jin spoke with a hint of pride.

The so-called Bagua City Plan is to establish eight cities across the country at equal distances from the center of a central town in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

The layout of these eight cities is entirely based on the arrangement of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation. Including the small city in the center, there are a total of nine cities.

This plan is also known as the Bagua Nine Cities Plan.

"The Imperial Academy claims that this plan is merely a prayer project, but its true purpose is to gather dragon energy," Zhang Jin continued, seeing Bai Ling's still puzzled expression. "Once the nine cities are fully completed, we only need to send eight people with dragon-like fortune to guard the eight cities. The Imperial Preceptor can then use the Dragon Transformation Technique in the central city to activate the dragon veins of the entire country."

Upon hearing about the power of the dragon vein, Bai Ling thought of the dragon transformation technique Lin Chen had used in the past, and asked, "What level of dragon transformation technique did Lin Chen use back then?"

"It's less than half the power of a dragon vein," Zhang Jin said with a smile. "The power of a true dragon vein is terrifying. Now, Teacher is ill and can no longer unleash multiple dragon veins. At his peak, he could maintain around seven."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling swallowed hard and exclaimed, "How strong must that be?"

“In the future, I should also go and guard a city. At that time, the Cangling Ancient Kingdom will not be afraid of invasion by any country.” Zhang Jin said, “The Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan is an ancient immortal formation. Others do not know about it, except for a very few high-ranking members of the Tian Shu Pavilion. So Bai Ling, you must not tell anyone about this.”

Bai Ling nodded emphatically, making sure to remember this matter.

When Lin Chen saw the Little Insect King, the entire insect had changed drastically.

The little insect king, once plump and fair-skinned under Bai Ling's care, now has dark skin and has begun to become more capable.

When it saw Lin Chen, it was stunned for a moment, and then it could no longer suppress its emotions and rushed over.

Lin Chen held it and gently comforted it.

He understood that the Little Insect King had suffered a lot during this period.

However, the hard work has yielded good results. The little bug king is now bigger than a person and has reached level 30.

I believe that in another six months, it will be able to surpass Xiaobai.

The Insect King is difficult to level up at first, but as long as the insects keep hatching, the leveling speed is astonishing.

The little insect king chirped and told Lin Chen that it now had millions of little insects and had become the insect king.

Lin Chen was ashamed upon hearing this; the reproductive ability was terrifying.

Lin Chen did not forget the purpose of his visit and handed a bottle of culture medium to the Little Insect King.

This culture medium is equivalent to the evolution formula of the Little Insect King, which can help it establish a solid foundation.

Lin Chen only stayed for half a day before leaving with Zhu Tong. Before leaving, Zhu Tong told Lin Chen some news:
"Elder Yu said that once your two spirit beasts emerge from seclusion, you can go to Heavenly Beast Island with him."

"What?!" Lin Chen was taken aback.

Heavenly Beast Island is a mysterious place shrouded in mist, like a dazzling pearl embedded in the ocean.

After humans discovered this island, they realized its immense value.

Thus, the top beast tamers from all the major powers on Earth gathered together and spent several years setting up a powerful array barrier around the Heavenly Beast Island.

This barrier is like an invisible shackle, firmly suppressing the level of the spirit beasts on the island to below level 40.

From then on, each country was able to capture a large number of low-level but exceptionally high-quality spirit beasts from the island every year, and use the beast fighting tournament to divide the profits and enhance their own strength. The demon race had naturally coveted the Heavenly Beast Island for a long time, knowing that the spirit beasts on the island could greatly help improve the strength of their race.

So when the barrier was first established, the demon race gathered their elite forces, attempting to destroy the magic array barrier in one fell swoop.

However, humanity was prepared, and a fierce battle broke out outside the barrier.

Ultimately, the demon race was defeated and returned home. Taking this opportunity, the various nations issued a joint statement declaring that if the barrier were breached, a full-scale war would ensue between humans and demons.

This declaration completely disheartened the demon race, and it marked the most united human race since the beginning of the Heavenly Beast Era.

"This time we are the champions. All countries have surveyed the spirit beast resources on Heavenly Beast Island this year. We will receive 108 spirit beast eggs, the Youlan Empire will receive 72, and the third-place Xijun Ancient Kingdom will receive 50."

Zhu Tong said quickly:

"And we were the first to enter. This time, the Spirit Academy will receive 12 tokens. Each of you nine will receive one, and the Spirit Academy can handle the remaining three."

"The National Academy will take 18 of them, and the rest will be distributed to other forces by the Tian Shu Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "In the end, we're still just working for them."

This does sound unpleasant, because the scions of these powerful forces in Tiandu can easily obtain these top-grade spirit beasts without much effort.

This is the advantage of being at the top; they can easily obtain top-tier resources through their networks and methods.

“They’re already quite generous,” Zhu Tong said. “Every year, the Tian Shu Pavilion allocates 40% of its spirit beasts to the military system as rewards, so the resources that other forces get are not much.”

"Are there any other people coming with us?" Lin Chen asked.

"That's all, just the two of you. You can choose all the spirit beasts in the Spirit Academy," Zhu Tong replied. "You can also choose one you like."

"They're all eggs, what can you tell from them?" Lin Chen said with a wry smile.

"That's not necessarily true. The advantage of going to the site is that you can tame some young spirit beasts, which is a benefit that others can't get," Zhu Tong said. "Therefore, many young masters from aristocratic families in Tiandu will also go."

Lin Chen nodded and finally agreed to the matter.

Normally, he wouldn't go to a place like this.

However, with the Grand Elder by his side this time, he didn't need to worry about that.

This is also a good opportunity to choose your fourth spirit beast.

Time flies, and almost another month has passed.

One day, while Lin Chen was still asleep, he suddenly felt something making ghostly noises next to him. When he opened his eyes, he found a polar bear dancing.

Lin Chen rubbed his eyes and looked outside. It was pitch black, and he assumed that Xiao Hei had gone mad.

"Roar~~"

The polar bear roared and pointed at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen glanced at his clothes and thought there was nothing wrong with what he was wearing.

The next second he was suddenly jolted and realized what was happening.

Upgraded.

He has now reached level 20, making him an intermediate beast tamer, and he can now contract his third spirit beast.

"Hoho~~"

The polar bear looked at Lin Chen expectantly; it had been waiting for this moment for so long, and now it was finally here.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry, there are no beasts competing with you now. You should get some sleep and adjust your condition."

The polar bear thought about it and nodded seriously, because it had been a long and tiring day.

However, the great polar bear didn't sleep well that night. He finally managed to stay awake until dawn, when he was so tired that he drifted off to sleep.

When the polar bear woke up, it was noon. The first thing it did was look around for Lin Chen's whereabouts.

Lin Chen also heard its noise and said, "Come on, let's eat first, and then we'll make a contract."

"Ow~~~"

The polar bear excitedly patted its belly with its paws. After finishing its meal, the polar bear sat upright in front of Lin Chen like a model student.

Unlike the other contract novices, Lin Chen spoke very seriously:

"Little Black, contracting you is only the first step. You will face several more life-threatening tests. Are you still willing?"

"Roar!"

The polar bear nodded earnestly.

During this period, it has thought things through very clearly.

Putting aside the allure of the laws of evolution, it has no other choice now. If it is content with an ordinary life, its only fate will be death.

At this moment, Lin Chen began to cast the Contract Seal, and then placed his hand on the head of the great white bear.

The next second, Lin Chen will be able to see his beast taming space.

Compared to before, Lin Chen's beast taming space is still not very large, but it has grown significantly since he became a beginner beast tamer, now covering about 500 square meters.

It should be noted that it was only about 100 square meters before.

As Lin Chen's strength increases, his control over the Beast Taming Space will also improve.

He can now use his consciousness to view the spirit beasts inside. When he reaches level 30, his consciousness will be able to take form, enter the spirit beasts, and flow with them, becoming no different from a real person.

It will be very convenient at that time, because you can guide your spirit beasts in cultivation within the Beast Taming Space.

Lin Chen was lost in thought for only a moment; the key now was to contract the Great White Bear.

The next second, Lin Chen was able to see its appearance in the Beast Taming Space.
The moment it entered, several white light totems descended and enveloped its body.

Faced with the strange change and unfamiliar environment, the great polar bear trembled slightly, not out of fear, but out of excitement.

During this period of powerlessness, it craved power and longed to become stronger.

This is bestiality.

This is also the nature of the great polar bear.

So at the moment the contract was successful, it roared at the sky with its eyes red, venting its inner emotions without restraint.

Lin Chen watched quietly from the side until the polar bear calmed down, then he reached out and touched the polar bear's head.

The polar bear looked at Lin Chen somewhat awkwardly, as it had indeed lost its composure just now. Lin Chen said, "You should vent your emotions, otherwise it will affect your cultivation."

"Roar~~"

The polar bear roared and nodded seriously.

The biggest difference between Lin Chen and Li Zaiqing in their treatment of spirit beasts is that Li Zaiqing mostly gives orders, which is a common problem among many beast tamers, while Lin Chen mostly consults with them, treating all his spirit beasts as equals.

This is one of the main reasons why Xiaobai and the little fox are willing to manipulate themselves.

By placing his palm on the bear's head, Lin Chen could see all the information about the great polar bear:
Iron Paw Bear

[Advanced Mortal Beast]

[Dominant bloodline: Iron Paw Bear 74.8%, Black Armor Bear 1.332%, Frost Bear 1.8%]

[Hidden bloodline: 16.2%]

[Contaminated bloodline: 2%]

Lin Chen began to ponder.

The laws of evolution require dominant bloodlines, so the Great Polar Bear and the Little White Bear are different; it doesn't need recessive bloodlines, but rather...
Visible bloodline.
