Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 315 The Final Selection

Lin Chen raised this question for a very simple reason: there's no such thing as a free lunch.

If this thing is so good, why doesn't Gu Ning use it?
Gu Ning said it was because he lacked talent, but Lin Chen questioned this.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ning's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He was acting, but he was genuinely displeased.

This was indeed an opportunity that belonged to Gu Ning, but now he couldn't accept it.

“There is absolutely no danger.” Li Hai said confidently, “The Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan was left by the previous National Master Zhong Nan. The National Master Academy still has relevant documents, as well as documents that the National Master Academy reported to the Tian Shu Pavilion.”

"I brought all of these. They include Zhong Nan's autograph, the seal of the National Academy of Educational Sciences, and a year-sealing technique."

"If you want to check, you can do so without worry."

After Li Hai finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and someone immediately handed three sealed documents to the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder was a little stunned by the other party's straightforwardness.

Li Hai added, "We are not here to coerce Bai Ling. The final choice is still in her hands."

"As Bai Ling's mentors and elders, we also hope that you can encourage her."

"After all, this disaster is not just a personal matter, but a national one."

After saying this, Li Hai cupped his hands in farewell, and the others also cupped their hands in farewell and took their leave.

After they all left, Lin Chen and the others remained silent for a long time.

Upon entering the hall, the matter of the Returning Spirit Academy had to be put aside for the time being. The First Elder spoke first, saying, "The Gu family admits that they kidnapped Bai Ling, but they only took her away to test her talent."

"In the end, it was proven that her talent did indeed surpass Gu Ning's."

Lin Chen and Liu Gu remained silent, but Bai Ling widened her eyes and asked, "But why did they lie to me?"

"Their explanation was that they didn't want you to hold a grudge against them," the elder said.

Lin Chen didn't respond, but instead flipped through the documents while saying, "One thing I have a question about is whether Gu Ning really lacks talent?"

“I also have my doubts about that.” The elder nodded and said, “However, I do know Tiandu. Just as you said, once Gu Ning obtains this powerful force, he might follow Zhong Nan’s path, massacre the forces in Tiandu, and reorganize the situation.”

"This is a situation that neither the Tian Shu Pavilion nor the Tian Du forces want to see."

Lin Chen found this explanation to be very reasonable.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to inquire at the Yin family," the elder added.

Liu Gu then asked Lin Chen, "Is this document legitimate?"

"This does indeed contain the proposal for the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan, and its functions."

Although Lin Chen appeared calm, he was actually extremely shocked.

The Bagua Nine Cities Plan proposed by Zhong Nanshan is a massive undertaking.

What it does is:
All the dragon veins within the Cangling Ancient Kingdom were connected together, ultimately for the use of one person.

Therefore, nine people are needed.

Eight people stand on the border Bagua City, with the main core person standing on the central Bagua City. When the nine people together use the Dragon Fighting Technique or the Dragon Transformation Technique, they can activate all the dragon veins within the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

Those who obtain it will experience a significant increase in power.

When Lin Chen first saw the Bagua City, he guessed that its purpose was not so simple.

Now it seems that it is true.

If this Bagua City is completed, it could truly create a force capable of rivaling the Nine Sea Serpent.

Could it be that Zhong Nan really predicted it again?

Lin Chen felt somewhat lost as he thought about this. As the saying goes, fate is determined by heaven.

Lin Chen did not believe this statement. Although he did not believe that man could conquer nature, he believed that fate was in the hands of each individual.

But the feeling that Zhong Nan gave Lin Chen was that fate was indeed predetermined.

Bai Ling is assassinated, the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan, the danger Lin Chen encounters, and Bai Ling being chosen as his personal disciple.

At first, Zhong Nan was so determined to be with Bai Ling, but later he still succumbed to the power of Tiandu and chose Gu Ning.

Zhong Nan made no mention of Bai Ling's future arrangements.

Perhaps he really did foresee that Bai Ling would one day appear in this way, fulfilling Zhong Nan's original choice.

As Lin Chen thought about this, his eyes seemed to have found the answer.

But he was also afraid of that answer.

He looked at Bai Ling, and deep down, he hoped that Bai Ling would be able to say no.

If that's the case, or if fate truly isn't predetermined...
But in reality, Bai Ling will most likely agree to this plan.

Even without mentioning Zhong Nan or the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, Bai Ling herself would agree to this plan.

After reviewing the entire plan, the Grand Elder and Liu Gu turned to look at Bai Ling, asking her questions.

Bai Ling also pondered for a long time during this period, and finally she actually spoke:
"If this is truly Professor Zhong Nan's last wish, then I am willing."

When she spoke, the other three were not surprised. Instead, the elder said, "Alright, since you are willing to try, I won't say anything else. But don't agree to them yet. I'll go and find out some information first."

Over the next two days, the Grand Elder sent people everywhere to inquire about the situation, and as expected, they received a unified response.

First, Bai Ling's destiny body is indeed better than Gu Ning's.

This is common knowledge within the National Academy of Education, and it's no secret among the higher-ups in Tiandu.

However, Tian Du did not want Bai Ling to take the throne because Bai Ling was not easy to control.

Secondly, the fundamental reason why Gu Ning could not carry out this plan was the fear of the Tiandu forces; otherwise, the entire plan would have started long ago.

Third, this plan is not dangerous; on the contrary, it will bring great benefits.

If Bai Ling successfully masters this power, she may even be able to possess it permanently.

When the three messages reached Lin Chen, he had some questions. Unexpectedly, the Grand Elder spoke again:
"The Yin family has spoken."

"Bai Ling and the others have been observing for a long time. They don't have any ambition to dominate, and their minds are simpler."

"Therefore, they would rather believe Bai Ling than Gu Ning."

"Is the Yin family trustworthy?" Lin Chen asked.

“The Yin family is trustworthy,” the First Elder said. “I have known the Yin family’s patriarch for many years. He would not lie to me, and he is not that kind of person.”

"This old ancestor was once saved by the Dean and owes our Spirit Academy a great debt of gratitude."

"That's no problem."

Lin Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "If such power truly exists, it would be a good thing for Bai Ling."

The Grand Elder nodded in agreement.

After they finished discussing, they went to find Bai Ling, who was standing with her hands clasped in front of the sky, seemingly praying for something.

Sensing Lin Chen and the others approaching, Bai Ling opened her eyes. This time, her gaze was not confused, but filled with determination.

"I am ready!"
