Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 382 The Divine Race and the Hundred-Year Pact
Lin Chen naturally wouldn't treat the strange fire like a common cabbage.

There are actually many kinds of flames. For example, the Flame Fox is itself a kind of flame, but it cannot be called a strange flame.

True strange fire possesses extremely high strength and very high energy purity.

The strange fire of ordinary spirit beasts cannot be called strange fire; only flames with outstanding abilities can be called that.

Therefore, when the Grand Elder learned that Little Fire could only gain wisdom by consuming different kinds of fire, he was extremely surprised.

“If you can find any members of the Phoenix Clan, things will be much simpler,” the elder said.

"You mean the demon race?" Lin Chen asked.

"No, the human race also has a phoenix clan," the elder explained.

Lin Chen was puzzled.

"You should have learned from your trip to Thunder City that there are celestial beasts in this world, but due to special reasons, they may not be able to appear in the world," the elder said. "What I'm telling you this time is not about celestial beasts, but about the hundred-year agreement between the human race and a reclusive family."

"A century-long promise?"

“In the early days of the rise of beast taming, during the first year of the Heavenly Beast Era, some people realized that relying on surnames and bloodlines as a means of inheritance to ensure the perpetual flow of resources was not sustainable,” the Grand Elder said quickly. “Therefore, under the manipulation of some people, a new type of family began to emerge: the Spirit Beast Family.”

“Clans like the phoenix and the dragon are super families with the potential to become celestial beasts; they do exist.”

Lin Chen was extremely surprised when he heard this.

He had wondered before why such a family didn't exist.

"They sign an agreement with the human race every hundred years, promising not to interfere in human affairs. Otherwise, even with the power of Tiandu, it wouldn't be enough to contend with them," the Grand Elder sighed. "In return, we must pay them a large amount of resources every hundred years, including spirit eggs, money, evolution materials, and so on."

“What Tiandu did this time was very excessive, but as you have seen, neither Leicheng, the Western Regions, nor even the Spirit Academy had any intention of ‘rebellion’. The real reason is this.”

“These families only contact Tiandu unilaterally, and do not accept any other contact.”

Lin Chen was surprised, as this was the first time he had heard of this. He asked in confusion, "Why didn't they appear during the previous monster chaos?"

"Because the life and death of the human world are actually none of their concern," the elder said. "They no longer call themselves humans, but gods."

"Gods!"

Lin Chen exhaled, what a boastful tone.

“Every hundred years, the God Clan opens its doors to the outside world, but the God Clan does not value so-called potential. They only recruit spirit beasts of the same race, and those who are at the level of divine beasts.” The Grand Elder continued, “Even if such people go in, they can only become outer disciples, but those who are invited still go with great joy.”

"Because everyone understands that once they can join the ranks of the gods, their status will experience a tremendous leap."

Lin Chen nodded.

The person who came up with this idea was indeed a genius.

Relationships based on blood ties are flawed because no one can guarantee that their offspring will be equally outstanding.

However, families born under this selection system can achieve lasting prosperity.

"Two years from now, it will be the next hundred-year agreement. The gods will be reborn in Tiandu, but the general public will not know of their existence. Only those who have received a secret invitation will be qualified to know about their existence." The elder continued, "The reason I am telling you this is because of the Phoenix Karmic Fire on Xiao Hong's body."

Lin Chen was taken aback and said, "I thought you were saying that there is a divine fox clan among the gods."

"The Divine Fox Clan doesn't have it; only some large races do, such as the Phoenix, the Dragon Clan, and the Qilin," the Elder said. "These divine races have always been arrogant and domineering. There have been people like you in the past who, despite not being a Phoenix, learned the Phoenix Karmic Fire. As a result, the Phoenix Clan came to their door and directly crippled their spirit beast."

Lin Chen's pupils widened, and he said, "This is too domineering."

“That’s right,” the elder said. “The gods are just that domineering, so I want you to keep a low profile for the next period of time.”

"Otherwise, two years from now, if someone with ulterior motives targets you, even the Spirit Academy and the Monster Hunter Guild might not be able to protect you from this calamity." "I understand." Lin Chen nodded.

"As for the strange fire, I'll help you look for it again."

"Thank you, Elder." Lin Chen cupped his hands in thanks.

The elder laughed and said, "This time, Xu Pingzhi even opened the Thunderfire region to you, which shows that Thunder City appreciates you. You can also make more friends with them. This Beast Taming World is not about fighting and killing. Unless you are invincible, you should understand this without me having to teach you."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "City Lord Xu is indeed someone worth befriending."

“You don’t need to worry too much,” the elder said. “Although the gods are arrogant, they also have their own rules.”

When Lin Chen returned to Liu Gu's mentor's academy, it was already night.

Liu Gu knew Lin Chen had returned, so he prepared a good meal.

Lin Chen sat down and slowly recounted his trip to Lei City to Liu Gu.

Upon hearing this, Liu Gu said, "It's fortunate that you read a lot of books, which saved your life. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been wiped out."

Lin Chen did not deny it.

However, he did not acknowledge that it was his own achievement, since the credit should be given to science.

The master and disciple chatted until late at night before Lin Chen brought up the matter of spirit beasts.

Liu Gu said, "I have already prepared the evolution formula for Little Red for you, but I did not expect you to make such a big breakthrough this time."

"Bring the spirit beast tomorrow, and I'll take a look at it."

Lin Chen nodded.

Liu Gu then examined the fire spirit. Lin Chen told him what had happened, but Liu Gu said, "Your fire spirit is formed from the Taiyi True Fire."

"When it followed Taihua, it must have been extremely terrifying."

"But later it slowly changed, and in the process of developing intelligence, its abilities were constantly deteriorating."

"Now that it has successfully developed its intelligence, it needs more energy."

Lin Chen thought so too.

The next day, when Lin Chen woke up, Xiao Bai and the others had already run to Liu Gu's place.

They were very familiar with Liu Gu.

When Lin Chen arrived, Liu Gu was already checking on the great polar bear.

The laws of evolution, every evolution is a gamble with life and death.

Therefore, Liu Gu must confirm whether the polar bear's body is in its strongest condition.

"Let's train for two more days." Liu Gu was fairly satisfied with the polar bear's physical condition, and then asked Lin Chen, "Have you brought back all the medicine from the medicine storehouse?"

Lin Chen nodded, then handed the bear bone bamboo to Liu Gu.

Upon receiving it, Liu Gu exclaimed in surprise, "This thing is extremely hard to find. It seems Lei Cheng has really gone all out this time."

After saying that, Liu Gu continued:
"With this as a guarantee, Xiao Hei's evolution should not be a problem, and there may even be some surprises."
