Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 235 Second-Order Dragon Fighting Technique: Dragon Fighting Stance

At a rock atop the mountain, Yu Xiu and his two companions sat looking down. Guo Hua, standing beside them, remarked, "It seems an agreement has been reached. Gu Ning is quite clever."

Neither Yu Xiu nor Zhang Jin spoke.

Since Gu Weixian's passing, the Gu family has not been without interest in the position of Imperial Preceptor.

The Gu family has a great advantage. First, Gu Wei was the founding national advisor and made significant contributions to the Cangling Ancient Kingdom. Second, the Gu family is also very powerful and has a very high reputation in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

However, after Gu Weixian's passing, no one in the Gu family was able to take on the important responsibility.

This great responsibility refers to talent and fortune.

At the time, many people felt that Gu Wei had exhausted the Gu family's good fortune.

Until Gu Ning was born, he was taken to the Spirit Dragon Evolution Beast for trial training when he was very young, and he was spotted by it, just like catching a turtle.

Later, the Gu family confirmed that Gu Ning was the chosen one and began to provide her with substantial resources.

But in fact, Gu Ning was not a member of the main family of the Gu family. However, Gu Ning alone managed to move the collateral family members back to the main family.

Everyone knows that as long as Gu Ning can become the Imperial Advisor, the Gu family can continue to prosper for another thousand years.

Even so, Gu Ning has never lost, and his excellence is known to everyone.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Guo Hua spoke up again, "Who do you think will win?"

Zhang Jin then spoke:
"Lin Chen's strength is beyond doubt. Looking at the national arena, how many people can match his performance in the Beast Fighting Tournament?"

Guo Hua nodded.

Lin Chen's strength is indeed terrifying.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin changed the subject and said:

"However, Gu Ning is already at the second level of the Dragon Fighting Technique."

"What?!" Guo Hua looked at Zhang Jin in disbelief and said, "Hasn't he been in the National Academy of Education for less than a year? Did the Gu family let him study there ahead of time?"

“I tried, and he hadn’t learned it beforehand.”

Zhang Jin shook his head.

The Dragon Fighting Technique isn't a top-secret dragon-taming divine art, but the Cangling Ancient Kingdom has a rule that no one from any other faction, except those personally taught by the National Academy, can learn the Dragon Fighting Technique.

Those who violate this rule will be punished by the Tian Shu Pavilion.

Seeing Zhang Jin's expression, Yu Xiu was also slightly taken aback, and his expression towards Gu Ning became even more serious.

He mastered the Dragon Fighting Technique to the second level in less than a year, which is enough to prove how strong his compatibility with the spirit dragon is.

Lin Chen also understood that although he had a numerical advantage, the other side also had the opportunity to fight to the death.

Therefore, he had no choice but to agree.

He looked back at his three spirit beasts. The three little guys were full of fighting spirit, especially the little fox, who was full of confidence after leveling up.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen was the first to eliminate it.

“Your abilities aren’t comprehensive enough,” Lin Chen said. “This kind of thing should be left to the two of them.”

"Goo~~~"

The little fox was sulking, but could only stand aside.

Lin Chen then looked at Little White and the Great White Bear. To be honest, Lin Chen also wanted the Great White Bear to fight. With its combat laws, it was most suitable for this kind of one-on-one battle.

However, the great polar bear has a fatal flaw: it cannot sustain itself.

Gu Ning seems to be quite intelligent. If he really figured this out, with his abilities, he should be able to come up with a solution very quickly.

After careful consideration, I still think Xiaobai is the safest bet.

Lin Chen didn't explain the reason, and the polar bear didn't ask either.

They all understood that Lin Chen had his reasons for making this choice.

"This battle is likely to be tough, be careful." Lin Chen patted the bull's head and gave it a serious warning.

Xiao Bai nodded as well.

On the other side, Gu Ning saw that Lin Chen had chosen the first spirit beast, which was also the White Flood Dragon.

Compared to Li Bei's white dragon beast, Gu Ning's spirit beast is one level lower, at level 38, which is one level higher than Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai has become more and more accustomed to leaping levels, and when it sees an opponent that is only one level higher than it, it becomes even more confident.

However, it did not forget Lin Chen's words.

Almost simultaneously, both sides issued commands, and the two spirit beasts, as if receiving a battle horn, instantly shone brightly, their energy surging wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed and entered an evolved state.

Gu Ning reacted extremely quickly, her hands moving rapidly with her fingers, her movements as fast as a phantom, while she chanted incantations and unleashed the Dragon Fighting Technique.

Mysterious runes swirled around the white dragon beast, enhancing its power.

Little White dared not underestimate its opponent. Its savage bloodline awakened instantly, entering the fourth stage, its two horns gleaming with a cold light.

It roared and launched its Iron Horn Charge, its four hooves flying, kicking up a cloud of dust.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the white dragon beast, suddenly raised its front hoof, and brought down a Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

The hoofprints slammed heavily onto the white dragon beast, but it was like only splashing water, causing no real damage.

Xiao Bai's eyes sharpened, and he quickly adjusted his tactics. The intensity of his Iron Horn Impact instantly increased, transforming into 13 afterimages that rushed towards the White Dragon Beast like ghosts, unleashing the Thousand Shadows Return to One technique.

Upon seeing this, the white dragon beast let out an angry roar and, instead of dodging, rammed its head against the object.

At this moment, the energy ball empowered by the Dragon Fighting Technique formed an indestructible shield on its head.

However, the power of the Thousand Shadows Return to One far exceeded expectations. The 13 afterimages merged into one and crashed heavily into the shield.

With a "crack," the shield shattered instantly, and the white dragon beast flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing that Xiaobai actually had the upper hand in their first encounter, Guo Hua said with considerable surprise:

"To learn the Dragon Transformation Technique, one must refine the Dragon Fighting Technique to the fifth level or above. In a sense, the Dragon Fighting Technique is a low-end version of the Dragon Transformation Technique. The energy of the Dragon Fighting Technique can materialize. The bull's horns were actually able to disperse the energy of the Dragon Fighting Technique. This power of gods and demons is indeed one of the most powerful forces in the world."

Zhang Jin also said, "Otherwise, Lin Chen would not have become the youngest elder of the Spirit Academy."

Guo Hua nodded.

The Spirit Academy has already publicly announced that Lin Chen is the Grand Elder of the Spirit Academy. Everyone understands that the Spirit Academy is striking first.

A young elder possessing divine and demonic power will undoubtedly be a top-tier fighter in the future.

As everyone was talking, the second round of the battle between the two spirit beasts began. Both sides instantly increased their strength. The white dragon beast that had fallen to the bottom in the first battle roared and shone brightly under the blessing of the Dragon Fighting Technique.

It lunged forward, its movements as graceful as a dragon's tail as it charged at Little White.

Xiao Bai took a step back, chose to activate the Eternal Demon Horn in its full state, and once again used Thousand Shadows Return to One to charge forward.

This time, it used the technique of Thousand Shadows Returning to One, which creates 16 afterimages.

The collision between the bull and the dragon resounded with a deafening boom, and the ground was filled with tremendous energy ripples. The central area caved in, and billowing dust filled the air.

Just as everyone was watching, a cow was seen flying backwards.

The shouting polar bear and little fox were stunned. They had followed Lin Chen for so long, but had never seen Little White lose in a brute-force confrontation. All eyes turned to the dissipating dust. The white dragon beast stood still, but its appearance had changed.
The white dragon beast had almost no horns, and looked short and weak, but now the white dragon beast actually has almost complete dragon horns!

Sunlight streamed down, and the dragon horns shimmered with a dazzling and mysterious light.

It is both illusory and real, like the little fox's unique fifth tail, presenting a strange state that is both translucent and somewhat substantial.

Strictly speaking, it is indeed a dragon horn.

Lin Chen was shocked to witness this scene.

Both the Dragon Fighting Technique and the Dragon Transformation Technique are so powerful that they inspire fear.

The Dragon Transformation Technique is like a key, capable of drawing upon the immense power of heaven and earth for one's own use.

The Dragon Fighting Technique acts as a bridge, using the power of heaven and earth to activate the latent bloodline power within spirit beasts.

At this moment, although the white dragon beast still looks like a dragon, it has already possessed some of the abilities of a dragon, as if it has been given a new life.

Lin Chen knew perfectly well that Gu Ning's Dragon Fighting Technique was definitely a level higher than Li Bei's.

He wasn't wrong; this was indeed a second-tier Dragon Fighting Technique.

The first-tier Dragon Fighting Technique is just the beginning. Once you reach the second tier, you can activate some of the dragon's abilities and use them for your own purposes.

The white dragon beast, now wielding immense power, roared and prepared to suppress Little White directly.

Little White felt the overwhelming dragon's might and understood that it had to go all out now.

It fully activates its fifth-tier Savage Bloodline and simultaneously activates the Eternal Demon Horn.

During this period, Xiaobai came into contact with more and more high-level spirit beasts, and it became more and more aware of the benefits brought by the Eternal Demon Horn.

The oppressive aura of a dragon's might is a form of bloodline suppression exerted by a higher being on a lower being; even with high mental strength, it is difficult to resist.

Xiao Bai's birth was indeed very low. As a low-level mortal beast, this kind of bloodline suppression had already been written into its body.

However, activating the Eternal Demon Horn can greatly weaken this influence.

After all, the power of gods and demons is no weaker than the might of dragons.

Xiao Bai's skin turned an unprecedented shade of red, and heat emanated from his body, as if he were a volcano about to erupt.

The two spirit beasts entered into a fierce battle, and the sound of their intense collisions exploded in the air.

They fought desperately for two rounds, each clash generating a gust of wind.

Both sides were testing each other's limits, but neither could do anything about the other.

In the end, it was the white dragon beast that launched the first attack. Its tail swung rapidly, leaving afterimages in the air.

A highly compressed dragon fighting aura gradually gathered at the tail, and that aura was almost tangible, carrying a sense of oppressive power that could destroy the world, before heading straight for Xiaobai.

This is its skill:
[Broken empty tail]

The little white dog raised its front hooves high and stomped its hooves hard on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, it unleashed a Soul-Suppressing Hoof - Illusory Spirit, and a cyan ethereal spirit instantly materialized, meeting the Dragon Fighting Aura head-on.

However, the strength of the ethereal spirit seemed so insignificant in the face of the opponent's dragon fighting aura, and it was instantly shattered.

The dragon's momentum was unstoppable. It broke through the defense line almost effortlessly and rushed towards Xiaobai at an alarming speed.

The white dragon beast's expression revealed the joy of victory, but at that moment, a flash of light appeared on Xiao Bai's body, and he seemed to disappear from the spot as if he had teleported, causing the white dragon beast's attack to miss its target.

At that moment, the three people, Yu Xiu and his companions, who were watching the battle from the rock, widened their eyes in astonishment.

Little White's movements naturally did not escape their keen eyes. It was not using teleportation, but moving at an extremely fast speed. The speed was astonishing, and if it were not someone of their high level, it would be impossible to catch its trace with the naked eye.

Turning our attention back to the battlefield, as Xiaobai sprinted forward, a truly breathtaking scene unfolded.

A total of 20 afterimages trailed behind it, each one lifelike and almost tangible.

That's right. After Xiaobai's savage bloodline successfully broke through to the fifth rank, the upper limit of its Thousand Shadows Return to One skill also broke through.

Previously, Xiao Bai had never used it, so Lin Chen was kept in the dark.

"This little white..." Lin Chen smiled wryly upon seeing this scene.

He naturally wouldn't blame Xiaobai in his heart. After all, even if the Thousand Shadows Return to One skill was powerful, it couldn't compare to the power of the Demon Bull's appearance. When Lin Chen calculated the combat power of the spirit beasts, he only needed to calculate the strongest combat power.

Yu Xiu and the others were filled with surprise, their eyes practically overflowing with disbelief.

Signature skills are like the foundation for spirit beasts. Most spirit beasts will abandon basic skills after leveling up in order to pursue more powerful and gorgeous skills.

However, Xiaobai is different. Instead of abandoning Iron Horn Impact, it is like a persistent craftsman, constantly refining it and pushing the skill to new heights.

From a skill perspective, Iron Horn Impact is practically perfect.

Its explosive power and speed are formidable weapons on the battlefield, capable of delivering a fatal blow to the enemy in an instant.

However, this skill also has a major limitation: it requires the support of beast power.

As a low-level mortal beast, the Ploughhorn Beast's species determines that its beastly strength is limited, which means that when it uses its iron horn to charge, it cannot reach the height that Xiaobai is at now.

All of this is thanks to the savage bloodline.

Without the powerful beastly strength brought by his savage bloodline, even with Xiaobai's extraordinary talent, he could only cultivate Iron Horn Impact to the level of Thousand Shadows Returning to One at most.

As for continuously breaking through the number of afterimages like this, that is absolutely impossible.

As the 20 afterimages merged into one, Xiaobai's body was engulfed in a blazing red light. Its limbs tensed up, and like a red lightning bolt, it streaked across the air in a dazzling arc.

In the instant he dodged the dragon's aura, Xiao Bai had already arrived in front of the white dragon beast.

A hint of surprise flashed across the white dragon beast's previously nonchalant eyes. It took a deep sniff and instantly detected a dangerous aura.

The dangerous signals were ringing out in its mind like an alarm.

boom!
The next second, the impact arrived. A tremendous crash resounded like thunder, and the powerful impact caused the surrounding air to vibrate violently, raising a cloud of dust.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, thinking that the white dragon beast would be seriously injured, but they saw that Xiao Bai seemed to have hit an invisible iron plate, and his body uncontrollably staggered back several steps.

Looking over, one could see the white dragon beast maintaining a strange posture. Its body was slightly tilted back, its head held high, and its limbs slightly bent, like a deity maintaining a sacred posture, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"Fighting Dragon Stance!"

Yu Xiu saw it at a glance, and he took a deep breath.

Xiao Bai's move is already terrifying. Even a spirit beast with extremely high talent would be severely injured if it encountered this move, if not killed.

This time, however, Xiaobai really ran into a brick wall.

The Dragon Form is a second-tier skill of the Dragon Fighting Technique, which can activate the dragon bloodline within the body.

Therefore, the scales on the surface of the white dragon beast now stand up, the dragon's fighting spirit burns like a real flame, and its eyes burst out with dazzling white light.

This is also what makes the Dragon Fighting Technique so terrifying. This beast-taming technique can not only enhance the power of spirit beasts, but also create new skills for them.

The moment the dragon form appeared, Gu Ning's expression became extremely serious.

The Dragon Form can only be maintained for about ten seconds, so he must end the battle within those ten seconds.
