Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 32 The Strange Changes in the Soul-Suppressing Hoof

"The horns have shrunk and turned black. The overall skeleton has shrunk and turned a bit more bluish. Come on, weigh it."

"Okay, the overall quality will be reduced by 5%."

Lin Chen made a very clear record. After observing the appearance, he stretched out his hand like an old Chinese medicine doctor and began the "head-shaping" process.

Little White happily stretched out its head and took Lin Chen's hand.

【Plough-horned beast】

[Low-level mortal beast]

[14 months]

【Level: 9】

Upgraded?!

Lin Chen was taken aback, then frowned.

That's too fast, it's just too fast.

Although there are no side effects, it doesn't take long for a newbie to level up to level four. It's like having a cheat code, so the foundation is easily unstable.

Lin Chen decided that he needed to take Xiaobai out for some training.

【Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Mastery)】

【Skill 2: Soul-Suppressing Hoof (Beginner)】

Lin Chen wasn't surprised that the skills hadn't changed, because the last time it wasn't apparent on the surface either; only testing would reveal the difference.

[Dominant bloodlines: Plowhorn 34.168%, Burning Mountain Ox 13.88%, Earth-roaring Ox 13.042%]

[Hidden bloodline: 16.392%]

[Contaminated bloodline: 22.518%]

The numerical values are also fine; the latent bloodline is getting higher and higher, increasing by 6.272%.

These past few days, Lin Chen has studied the bloodlines of spirit beasts and read the insights left behind by various great figures throughout history, and has come to the conclusion that:
The higher the percentage of bloodline, the greater the probability of evolving into that bloodline in the next evolution.

For example, Xiaobai can now be considered to possess four bloodlines: Plowhorn Beast, Burning Mountain Ox, Earth Howling Ox, and a hidden bloodline.

If Xiaobai starts evolving now, the most likely outcome is that the evolution will fail, meaning it will retain its original cow physique.

The second hidden bloodline has the second highest probability.

The third is the Burning Mountain Ox, and the fourth is the Earth-Raging Ox.

"It seems that a bloodline purification process will be needed before the first evolution," Lin Chen calculated in his mind.

The current Plover bloodline is too mixed, which can affect the success rate of evolution, so it needs to be purified again.

The first evolution time for a spirit beast is:

Level 20!
"Come on, skills test."

After saying that, Lin Chen led the two beasts into the courtyard, where they found more wooden stakes.

Xiaobai activates its first skill: Iron Horn Impact. This time, it's noticeable and almost unchanged.

"Moo~~"

Just as I was feeling disappointed, I heard Xiaobai say that it could sense that its skill proficiency was about to reach a bottleneck.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. It is extremely difficult to master the skill to perfection. Some spirit beasts with poor talent may never reach this level in their entire lives.

"Let's try the second one." Lin Chen was easily satisfied; this was already very good.

Tap~~
Soul-Suppressing Hoof!
Xiao Bai let out a cry to the sky and stomped on the ground. Lin Chen immediately observed the range of the shockwave and found that there was no difference.

The lengths are the same.

Crash~~
The wood cracked instantly.

Just when I thought it was over, a sudden roaring sound rang out.

boom! !

All that could be seen was that the wooden stake suddenly exploded!

Lin Chen's pupils widened, and he was immediately overjoyed.

An anomaly has occurred!

"It seems that the mastery level effect of the normal Soul-Suppressing Hoof is to add an additional explosive damage afterward."

Lin Chen already had a guess in his mind: Xiao Bai's skills were very special, as the proficiency of the previous level could be used to advance to the effect of the next level.

Little White was happy, but Little Fox was anxious.

It wasn't that it was envious of Xiaobai, but rather that it also wanted to become stronger quickly. Right now, it couldn't wait for Lin Chen to immediately reach level 10 and form a contract with it.

"No rush." Lin Chen saw through the little fox's thoughts and patted its head, saying, "Cultivation must be done step by step; you can't rush things."

He then instructed Xiaobai that she should not meditate for the time being. For the next few days, Lin Chen stayed home and focused on reading. He had two tasks to complete:
First, we need to find a higher concentration of latent bloodlines to prepare for the third bloodline purification process.

Second, start preparing evolution materials for Xiaobai.

As a common basic spirit beast, the evolution material system for the Ploughhorn is very complete, with expensive ones costing tens of millions and even the cheapest ones costing over one hundred thousand.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many loans in this world; you need money to raise a good spirit beast.

That's why Lin Chen chose to join the Monster Hunter Guild.

However, he still has a bottom line: he won't do anything that could cost him his life.

After a few more days of leisure, the day of actual combat training arrived. According to Huang Xiaotian, they might have to train for several days.

"Perfect timing. Let's harvest these Blood Spirit Grasses and sell them to prevent other spirit beasts from eating them when they pass by." Lin Chen had planned this yesterday and harvested the Blood Spirit Grasses as he went.

The little fox perked up its ears when it heard this. Wasn't this talking about it?
After Lin Chen and Xiao Bai tied up the spirit herbs, they noticed that the little fox seemed restless.

"I was just saying, I'm not really blaming you," Lin Chen said with a smile.

The little fox shook its head, then rushed into the room, found the piggy bank, took its 100 yuan New Year's money, and handed it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was taken aback, and then he understood: it was afraid of being stolen.

"Goo~~"

Xiao Hong means that she will have to pay it back later.

"Don't worry." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

They then went to the animal sales shop and found the female saleswoman.

The saleswoman didn't cheat him or try to lower the price; she bought the Blood Spirit Grass at market price. Lin Chen then asked, "Do you also buy mental potions?"

"Psychotropic drugs?" The saleswoman was taken aback, but quickly nodded and said, "I'll take them. They're expensive these days."

Lin Chen had originally estimated the price to be 50,000, but the saleswoman gave him 70,000. She told Lin Chen that it was the school enrollment season and many wealthy parents would be buying large quantities of this stuff.

Lin Chen also understood that those who contracted battle pets from the very beginning were wealthy people.

However, those with purely auxiliary contracts are sometimes even richer.

A bottle of medicine costs seventy or eighty thousand, but that's nothing.

Lin Chen put the money away and gave each of them one hundred yuan, and entrusted them with safekeeping.

Now, Lin Chen had 130,000 yuan in his hand.

When I arrived at the Monster Hunter Guild, I found it to be very lively, with more people than last time.

Lin Chen went to the Thirteenth Team's residence. Huang Xiaotian was eating. When he saw Lin Chen, he squinted and waved, telling Lin Chen that this year's rules had been released.

"Li Zhen has been tricked by you. This year's test may be even more difficult."

"Your 'Junior Group' has a maximum spirit beast level of 10. There are five teams in total competing for this year's Rookie King title."

"The guild's resources are limited every year. The higher the ranking, the more resources are available, especially for the Rookie King team."

"No," Lin Chen said, "You mean I need to find a team again?"

“That’s right,” Huang Xiaotian said. “You’re too late. These experts arrived early and should already be considering forming teams.”

"It's alright. As you said, I'm number one in the information category, so there should be some experts waiting for me."

“Then you’re wrong again.” Huang Xiaotian shook his head and said, “Now that your story has spread, many people think you’re cheating and don’t consider you an expert.”

"."

"But don't worry, the information-based and combat-based rookie kings are separated. The main task of the information-based ones is to find the entrance to the secret realm and locate the monster king. That's all."

Huang Xiaotian reminded him:

"Even if your team is last, as long as you are the first to complete these two options, you will be the Rookie of the Information Category."

"You're contradicting yourself."

"How to say?"

"If my team is weak, how will we ever see the Demon Beast King?"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Huang Xiaotian squinted and looked up, saying while eating meat, "Glug glug~~~"

"speak English."

After Huang Xiaotian finished eating, he said, "So, are you still sitting here waiting for your food?"

"."

Lin Chen immediately stood up.

He makes a lot of sense. In this situation, why should I argue with him?

One person and two beasts ran straight out the door!
