Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 262 Reunion with Zhong Nan
After the second battle, the atmosphere began to change.

Winning five games in a row seems like a lot, but when you look at the numbers, it's not actually that many.

Generally speaking, three games are used as a signal. If the opponent wins three games, it is time to start bringing on the core players.

Lin Chen and his group returned to the city and had a big meal to celebrate Fang You and Wu Chen's victory.

Both of them fought exceptionally well in this battle. The Grand Elder and Sun Ji were present. After everyone finished eating and returned to their lodgings, the Grand Elder said, "You should all go back and rest. Lin Chen, stay here."

The others didn't say much either, only that the Grand Elder had something to say to Lin Chen.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Chen and the others left, the Grand Elder and Sun Ji cupped their hands in front of the air and said, "Welcome, Grand Preceptor."

Lin Chen paused, looked around, but didn't see anyone.

The next second, a figure walked out from behind the screen; it was Zhong Nan.

Lin Chen noticed that his complexion was even better than when he saw the beast fighting, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor."

Zhong Nan nodded slightly, then looked at the Grand Elder and Sun Ji and said, "I thought you had forgotten my presence."

The Grand Elder and Sun Ji gave a wry smile.

They once fought side by side, and they would never forget Zhong Nan's presence.

"Then I will take my leave as well," Lin Chen said, bowing slightly.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Nan said, "You stay too."

Lin Chen was taken aback, but didn't say anything more.

The four sat down, and the elder said, "Didn't you make it clear that you wouldn't be coming to this conference?"

Sun Ji had been keeping a close eye on Zhong Nan. As a doctor, he had diagnosed Zhong Nan a year ago, so he knew very well what Zhong Nan's physical condition was like.

Zhong Nan's current robust health must be due to the use of a life-restoring technique.

However, Sun Ji also knew that this Yang-restoring technique could be considered one of the divine techniques, and the more times it was used, the more severe the loss of lifespan would be.

"What are you doing?" So when Sun Ji spoke, his expression was somewhat angry.

The Grand Elder was slow to realize what was happening; it was only after hearing these words that he understood.

At this moment, Zhong Nan forced a smile and said, "I know my own lifespan. Even if I rest and recuperate, I won't live more than three years."

Sun Ji sighed.

indeed so.

Zhong Nan must have many methods to prolong his life, such as the essence of the immortal phoenix, life-extending pills, and so on.

However, Zhong Nan's illness was a gift from heaven, and even the most miraculous medicines could not cure it.

"Three years is enough time for you to train the next generation of national advisors," the Grand Elder said. "The Cangling Ancient Kingdom is currently going through a turbulent period, and only you can stabilize the situation."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Nan replied, "That is precisely why I came here."

After saying this, Zhong Nan looked at the Grand Elder and said, "This time I came here intending to use the Dragon Transformation Technique to meet this peerless demon. If I can successfully kill it, that would be best, and the human race could gain a hundred years of peace. If I cannot kill it, I can still test its strength for future generations."

The three were shocked upon hearing this. Zhong Nan had even used a revival technique, so it seemed that this was true.

"I've come here mainly to say goodbye to you old friends," Zhong Nan continued, his words causing the faces of the Grand Elder and Sun Ji to instantly darken.

Sun Ji's eyes were a little red. He stood up and said, "I'll go prepare some wine and dishes first."

Zhong Nan nodded, but said to the Grand Elder, "You should go too."

The elder was taken aback, but he understood that Zhong Nan had something to say to Lin Chen, so he also got up and left.

After they left, only Lin Chen and Zhong Nan remained. The latter said, "I know you have many questions to ask. Some I can answer, and some I cannot."

Lin Chen swallowed hard.

Facing this Grand Preceptor whom he had only met a few times, Lin Chen indeed had too many questions to ask, but for a moment he couldn't find the words. "When you bestowed upon me the Dragon Transformation Technique, did you foresee that Bai Ling would be attacked? Do you know who attacked her?" Lin Chen asked two questions in a row.

"Is this answer important?" Zhong Nan asked.

"Of course it's important."

"Are you thinking that I might be able to predict the future?" Zhong Nan asked.

Lin Chen was taken aback.

Deep down, he didn't believe in any kind of precognitive ability, but Zhong Nan did indeed demonstrate this ability.

Bai Ling was assassinated, and he needs 11 drops of phoenix blood essence, etc.

Zhong Nan then laughed and said, "Some people say that the Imperial Preceptor is a celestial being, and we are also called celestial beings, but in reality, it's just that we have the word 'celestial' added to our title. In essence, we are still human."

Lin Chen seemed to understand but not quite, so Zhong Nan continued, "I can indeed foresee some things in the future, but there is a price to pay."

"What about the future?"

“That’s the future I see, not your future,” Zhong Nan said. “You need to know that the future can be changed.”

Hearing Zhong Nan speaking in riddles, Lin Chen exhaled; he knew it.
Even if Zhong Nan predicted some things, he couldn't say them.

Lin Chen was still too shocked.

This future.
Is it really possible to predict the future?
"As for Bai Ling, she has indeed been eliminated," Zhong Nan said. "The next national advisor is Gu Ning."

Lin Chen didn't speak.

The competition for the position of Imperial Advisor is ultimately a matter of ability and destiny.

Bai Ling has enough good fortune, but not enough ability.

"Actually, you should have known long ago that Bai Ling was not a suitable candidate, so why did you bring her to Tiandu in the first place?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Zhong Nan sighed and said, "Perhaps, I also want to go against the tide and change the future."

That night, Lin Chen couldn't sleep.

Zhong Nan's appearance gave Lin Chen much to think about.

Judging from Sun Ji's expression, even if Zhong Nan manages to kill this peerless demon king, he will inevitably die in the end.

The change of the old and new national advisors will inevitably cause great turmoil in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

Lin Chen only hoped that Zhong Nan could really kill the demon king. Otherwise, Zhong Nan's fall might be a signal that a great war would break out between the human race and the demon race.

However, from that day on, Lin Chen never saw Zhong Nan again.

Three days later, the tournament continued, and the third competition began.

In this round, the level 10 arena was once again dominated by the demon race, as was the level 20 arena.

On the level 30 arena, the demon race finally dispatched the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King.

After seeing Fang You send out the Nine Tribulation Beast in the last battle, Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King was thinking about the grudge from last time, and he couldn't even sleep soundly these past few days.

"It seems this little wolf cub holds a grudge." Lin Chen looked at the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King standing on the stage and said to Fang You beside him, "The opponent is very powerful, we can't be careless."

Fang You nodded.

In the past, only when Lin Chen, Fang You, and Zhang Suqing joined forces with their spirit beasts could they defeat the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King.

Lin Chen naturally didn't take it seriously today, but Fang You was different.

The appearance of the Little Ghost Wolf King also caused a stir among the crowd, after all, he was the first beast king bloodline to fight.

"The demon race has started producing beast king-level demon beasts. It seems they're getting serious."
