Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 236 The Demon Bull Appears and Evolves
Upon receiving the command from Gu Ning, its massive and agile body reacted instantly. It maintained its majestic fighting dragon posture, its muscles taut, and its scales gleaming with a cold luster.

Then, its massive body leaped high into the air, like a cannonball launched from the deep sea.

It was the same [Dragon Emerging from the Sea] that Lin Chen and Xiao Bai had witnessed on Li Bei's white dragon beast that day, and its powerful force was still fresh in their minds.

Little White regained its balance, its four hooves firmly planted on the ground, and its fur trembled slightly with excitement.

The two defeats did not dampen Xiaobai's fighting spirit; on the contrary, the strength of its opponent made its blood boil.

Lin Chen once told it that only by constantly defeating experts can it continuously become stronger.

At this moment, Little White's eyes were flashing with a blazing light. It began to gather all the beast power of the fifth-order savage bloodline. The power in its body gathered like a surging tide. It even emptied its body completely.

"Moo!"

A deafening roar came from the sky, as if it would tear the heavens apart.

In an instant, the demonic bull slowly emerged from the chaos. Its body was as large as a mountain, and every inch of its muscles contained earth-shattering power.

Its eyes were like burning flames, radiating a chilling light.

Its two horns are as sharp as blades, gleaming with a cold, eerie light, as if they could easily shatter everything in the world.

The moment the demonic bull appeared, it was as if a demon god had descended upon the earth. It floated in the void, looking down at all living beings with disdain and contempt in its eyes, as if all things in the world were as insignificant as ants in its eyes.

"Is this the power of gods and demons?"

Guo Hua looked up and stared, his eyes filled with excitement. Even though he held an important position in the Tian Shu Pavilion, he had never seen such a person before.

Zhang Jin's gaze, however, remained fixed on the demonic bull, and the memory of an ancient book in his mind became increasingly clear.

The book mentions that after the ancient gods and demons perished, their immense power did not dissipate but rather merged into the universe. Spirit beasts, with their extraordinary sensitivity to the power of heaven and earth, were able to sense this power by chance and incorporate it into their own innate abilities.

Thinking of this, and looking again at the heavy shackles on the demon bull, a fog enveloped Zhang Jin's mind.

He frowned, pondering to himself, what kind of mistake had this demonic bull made in the past that led to its sealing away?
So, is it actually dead?
As it pondered, a dragon's roar resounded. With the blessing of the second-tier Dragon Fighting Technique, the surrounding power of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force, transforming into dazzling streams of light that were continuously absorbed into the white dragon beast's body.

The next second, a phantom of a spirit dragon suddenly appeared, and its majestic dragon might descended instantly, as if the surrounding air had been frozen.

The dragon's might descends, and all beasts scatter.

The white dragon beast raised its head and let out a deafening roar, which contained the sound of a spiritual dragon, and the sound waves spread out as if they were tangible.

Then, it leaped into the air and launched a fierce attack.

From its body, a phantom of a spirit dragon swiftly emerged. This spirit dragon shimmered with multicolored light, swaying in lines at an extremely fast speed, streaking across the sky like a meteor, and rushing towards Xiaobai with an unstoppable momentum.

Almost at the same moment, Xiaobai also let out a roar, the sound of which made the surrounding air tremble. The demonic bull in the void was like a demon god that had been released, breaking free of its invisible shackles. Its four hooves were in the air, and it pounced on the phantom of the spirit dragon with overwhelming force.

A few seconds later, the spirit dragon and the demon bull collided violently.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, becoming extremely oppressive and emitting a hissing sound.

Zhang Jin and the others were all in the spotlight. It was with this move that Xiao Bai had previously defeated Li Bei's white dragon beast.

Faced with the Dragon Fighting Technique enhanced to the second tier today, can Xiaobai still win?

The moment the spirit dragon and the demon bull wrestled, the spirit dragon raised its huge head high, exuding an aura of dominance over the world, and slammed it fiercely into the demon bull's head, as if it could shatter it in the next second.

But the demon bull didn't retreat at all; it just stood there. The dragon's rampage and the demon bull's pounce collided violently, and small cracks began to appear on the ground around them.

Their battle didn't seem as spectacular as the explosion caused by the little fox throwing a huge fireball, but everyone knew that the power displayed by these two spirit beasts was something that ordinary spirit beasts couldn't withstand.

It could even be said that most spirit beasts would die instantly if they entered its affected area.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the spirit dragon suddenly amplified its energy, and the light on its body became even more dazzling. Under the impact of this powerful energy, the demon bull swayed slightly and was instantly suppressed by the spirit dragon.

"It seems the outcome is already decided," Guo Hua declared directly.

Just as the demonic bull was about to give up and disappear completely into the void, two cracking sounds came from the void.

Everyone looked up and witnessed an extremely shocking scene.

Above the void, two more shackles binding the demon bull suddenly snapped.

"He broke through on the spot?!" Guo Hua gasped.

A spirit beast's breakthrough in battle demonstrates its strong mental fortitude and talent.

Yu Xiu and Zhang Jin also stared at Xiao Bai, wondering how many surprises Lin Chen's spirit beast would bring them.

Lin Chen was also stunned. Although he hadn't seen any changes in Xiao Bai's skills, his previous research had already reached a conclusion.
Xiao Bai's Demon Bull has appeared, which means it must have broken through to the Master level.

In their astonishment, the demonic bull, now freed from its shackles, exuded a chilling black aura, as if countless vengeful spirits were coiling around it.

Its already enormous body swelled even more, its muscles bulging like steel, and its two horns gleamed with a cold, eerie light, like two sharp blades, appearing particularly ferocious in the sunlight.

The demon bull stomped its four hooves on the ground, instantly cracking the earth and sending dust flying.

Using the momentum of its unfinished lunge, it leaped towards the white dragon beast with an indomitable spirit, like a demon lord returning from hell.

The phantom of the spirit dragon was at its peak, radiating brilliant light. However, under the overwhelming attack of the demon ox, the phantom of the spirit dragon began to tremble violently, and cracks spread rapidly. In the end, it was like a bubble, instantly collapsing and turning into starlight that disappeared without a trace.

The demonic bull lunged forward again, its massive body drawing a terrifying arc in the air as it soared into the sky towards the white dragon beast.

This scene caused Gu Ning and the white dragon beast, who were just immersed in the joy of victory, to shrink in surprise, and a feeling of unprecedented resentment and fear welled up in their hearts.

Lost?

They lost?

How could they still lose even with the support of a second-tier fighting dragon?

Gu Ning was filled with resentment. He had never met a worthy opponent on his journey, but he never expected to be defeated today.

However, unlike Li Bei, he knew that the oppressive aura of the Demon Bull's appearance would continue to engulf the White Flood Dragon, so he shouted without hesitation:
"I lost!"

Almost instantly, Zhang Jin controlled the spirit dragon to fly through the air and stop the demon bull from advancing.

His appearance instantly dimmed Gu Ning's expression.

Lin Chen felt a bit more admiration for Gu Ning's decisiveness.

With such a mindset and the support of a family, if he doesn't go astray, he will surely grow to a formidable level in the future.

Zhang Jin, who suddenly appeared, glanced at Lin Chen and Xiao Bai, and was filled with emotion. Even Gu Ning could not shake it. Who among the peers of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom could defeat them?
After regaining his composure, Zhang Jin said, "The battle is over. Gu Ning, come with me."

Gu Ning put away the spirit beast without saying a word.

Zhang Jin didn't say much, but Lin Chen asked, "Sir, are there really celestial-grade spirit eggs on this mountaintop?"

"You've already qualified, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Zhang Jin knew that Lin Chen was trying to trick him into revealing information, but he didn't fall for it and left after saying that.

After walking a little further away, Gu Ning finally spoke up, "Have I lost my qualification as the Imperial Preceptor?" Zhang Jin could tell that Gu Ning was very afraid.

If Gu Ning loses his eligibility to compete, he may be abandoned by the Gu family.

He was never a member of the main family; his current status is entirely due to his being a chosen one and a strong contender for the position of future imperial advisor.

“You lost to Lin Chen, not to any other member of the National Academy,” Zhang Jin said. “Besides, neither the teacher nor I ever said that the battle on Heavenly Beast Island was a battle for the qualification of National Preceptor.”

Gu Ning was taken aback.

“And you don’t need to worry. Whether you succeed or not, you will be a member of the National Academy of Education,” Zhang Jin said. “As long as you are in the National Academy of Education, you will definitely have someone to protect you.”

Zhang Jin said this to encourage Gu Ning.

After all, the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan wouldn't be complete without them.

Hearing this, Gu Ning's hope was rekindled.
If he were to become the Imperial Preceptor and acquire the Dragon Transformation Technique, Lin Chen would certainly be no match for him in the future.

Seeing the two leave, Lin Chen and Bai Ling also showed joy. Bai Ling took the spirit beast to celebrate with Xiao Bai, while Lin Chen found the sample of Gu Ning's white dragon beast on the ground.

[Hidden bloodline: 40%]

Lin Chen was extremely surprised. This bloodline power was indeed terrifying. No wonder this battle was so difficult.

After storing it in the bottle, Lin Chen walked over to Little White, stroked its head, and said, "How did you break through this time?"

"Moo~~"

Little White told Lin Chen that it didn't know either, but it had only one thought: it didn't want to lose, otherwise the egg would be gone.

Lin Chen laughed heartily after hearing this, and upon checking Xiao Bai's information, he confirmed that she had indeed broken through.

【Kui Spirit Beast】

【Level: 37】

【Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Divine Enlightenment)】

【Skill 2: Soul-Suppressing Hoof (Divine Enlightenment)】

【Skill 3: Savage Bloodline (Divine Enlightenment)】

【Skill 4: Eternal Demon Horn (Perfect)】

【Skill 5: Demon Bull Appears (Mastery)】

This master-level demon bull has appeared and has already broken four chains; it is indeed terrifying.

If Xiaobai hadn't made a breakthrough on the spot, he might not have been able to win against the White Dragon Beast enhanced by the Dragon Fighting Technique.

"If only I could have some kind of bullfighting technique," Lin Chen thought wistfully, then sighed, realizing he had been too greedy.

This bloodline alchemy is already heaven-defying; if it could also enhance beast taming, it would be unfair.

Putting aside these thoughts, he had Xiaobai sit down and rest. This was the land of the spirit eggs, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

Just like Zhang Jin said, defeating Gu Ning only qualified him to enter the mountaintop, it doesn't mean he has obtained the spirit egg.

After resting for nearly two hours, Xiaobai's condition returned to its peak, and Lin Chen set off.

From here up to the mountaintop, the number of guardian spirit beasts actually begins to decrease.

Lin Chen, however, was not happy. They had fought their way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and the Beast King at the summit couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Therefore, the fewer the spirit beasts here, the more spirit beasts there are on the mountaintop.

"I hope it's not a dozen or so Beast Kings," Lin Chen thought to himself, and then sighed.

With their current strength, he and Bai Ling are still capable of putting up a fight against several beast kings.

If the quantity is too large, they will have no choice but to give up.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry and tried his best to maintain his peak condition as he walked towards the mountaintop.

At this moment, the three old men were in another location, observing Lin Chen's movements. Guo Hua, seeing that Lin Chen was only a step away from the mountaintop, asked, "Did the island guardian beast say what this immortal-grade spirit beast egg is?"

Yu Xiu and Zhang Jin both shook their heads, but the latter said, "This Heavenly Beast Island has produced quite a few Immortal-grade Spirit Eggs over the years, some of which have no traceable origin."

At this point, Guo Hua also remembered.

The Youlan Empire has always been the first to enter this place, so they basically take all the top-grade spirit eggs.

But twenty years ago, this happened.

At that time, the Youlan Empire obtained two immortal-grade spirit eggs inside, causing a sensation and making other countries extremely envious.

The Cangling Ancient Kingdom entered this place as the second-ranked nation. Upon hearing this news, it was as if the sky had fallen.

At the time, everyone thought that since Heavenly Beast Island had already produced two Immortal-grade spirit eggs, it was absolutely impossible for a third one to appear.

Unexpectedly, the person who entered the area unintentionally found a celestial-grade spirit egg in a landslide.

Based on what that person said at the time and subsequent research, a startling conclusion was reached: this celestial-grade spirit egg was not recently born, but rather had been buried in the ground for a long time.

Some even doubt that it is a product of this era.

Later, this celestial-grade spirit egg flowed into the Heavenly Capital, and its final destination became unknown.

Anyway, even someone of Guo Hua's level can only hear about such super resources.

This incident also led to the next batch of people entering the Heavenly Beast Island starting to dig the soil frantically, causing serious damage to the island's ecology. Later, various countries re-established regulations, which finally stopped the digging.

However, since that year until today, I have never obtained a celestial-grade spirit egg by such a coincidence.

"You mean, this celestial-grade spirit egg also came about in this way?" Guo Hua asked curiously.

Zhang Jin looked at the mountaintop and said, "Look at the surrounding trees. This area used to be part of the Misty Forest, but now many trees are blackened or even withered. The surrounding ecosystem has been severely damaged."

"It is clear that a volcanic eruption has occurred here recently."

"Look again at the location of that spirit egg."

Yu Xiu and Guo Hua looked down and quickly found the location of the immortal-grade spirit egg, which was right above the crater.

At the same time, Lin Chen had already learned from these traces that this was a new volcano, but he didn't know whether the spirit egg was recently laid or left over from before.

He hoped that there would be no more volcanic eruptions here.

They then stepped onto the mountaintop, and Bai Ling even said excitedly, "We've finally arrived."

But in an instant, Bai Ling's smile froze, and Lin Chen was also somewhat stunned.
There were no particularly beautiful sights on the mountain; what awaited them was a seemingly dense army of spirit beasts.
