Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 463 Shocking the Nation
Using the little blue fish's spatial leap, Lin Chen and his group successfully escaped from Snow Dragon Valley.

Without stopping for a moment, they sped directly toward Nine Star City.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy along the way.

The worry on Ning Ye and the others lingered for a long time, because the other party had tracked them down to Snow Dragon Valley, which meant they must have been to Nine Star City.

Fortunately, after asking around along the way, they discovered that Nine Star City had not been affected by war, which put them at ease.

"It seems that the rules set by the gods themselves are still effective."

The weight on Ning Ye's heart did not lift.

Under normal circumstances, given that Nine Star City is one of Lin Chen's bases, and considering the domineering nature of the Divine Race, there is a high probability that they would take their anger out on Nine Star City.

Finally, they stopped outside a small town hundreds of miles away from Nine Star City.

As night fell, a campfire was lit, dispelling the chill of late autumn.

Li Zhen took a swig of strong liquor, looked at the flickering flames, and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that the gods are determined to eliminate you at all costs. Even the Supreme Elder has come."

Lin Chen nodded, his expression calm, but his mind was already racing.

After some discussion, he made a decision.

"I've decided not to return to Nine Star City for the time being."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Lin Chen explained, "The God Clan's target is me. This time, the potential that Xiao Hei has shown will definitely touch their most sensitive nerve."

"If I go back, it will only bring endless trouble to Nine Star City, and may even lead to its destruction."

He paused, turned his gaze to Ning Ye, and continued, "The Divine Race's current objective is clear; they do not intend to target Nine Star City itself."

"Therefore, our temporary separation is actually the safest option for Nine Star City."

"It just so happens that I was planning to go to the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom after this secret realm, so this is a good opportunity to avoid the limelight."

Ning Ye fell silent.

He knew that Lin Chen was telling the truth.

It was only when he traveled with Lin Chen this time that he truly realized the vast difference between himself and Lin Chen.

The enemy Lin Chen was facing was one that the Ning family, or even Nine Star City, could not contend with.

If Li Zhen hadn't obtained the Phoenix Arm by chance, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with him.

"Alright then..." Ning Ye finally nodded heavily, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Take good care of yourselves!"

……

In another mountainous forest, as the old doctor's figure gradually became clearer, Bai Ling immediately went to meet him.

"Teacher, thank you."

Her voice was filled with heartfelt gratitude.

The old doctor waved his hand, a hint of a smile in his cloudy eyes:
"Now, can we go to the secret realm without worry?"

Bai Ling nodded heavily.

With Lin Chen out of danger, the biggest weight on her heart finally lifted.

The old doctor looked at her and slowly said:
"Actually, you don't need to worry about him too much. Lin Chen's growth rate is beyond imagination."

"If it weren't for an old monster of Ji Lin's caliber making a move, there would be very few people in this world who could kill him."

Hearing such high praise from her teacher, Bai Ling did not deny it; she was well aware of Lin Chen's excellence.

In Bai Ling's mind, Lin Chen was an invincible figure among his peers.

But then, she spoke with some doubt:
"I wonder where Xiaobai went. If it were here, Lin Chen might not be in such a sorry state."

In Bai Ling's heart, Xiao Bai was Lin Chen's most reliable and powerful trump card.

But this time, Xiaobai didn't appear at all from beginning to end.

Upon hearing this, the old doctor stroked his beard and said:
“I just checked him, and there is indeed an extremely powerful aura sleeping on him. It seems that he has entered some kind of deep seclusion and cannot be disturbed by the outside world.”

He looked at Bai Ling, then changed the subject and suddenly said:

"Actually, judging from Lin Chen's personality, if you tell him everything, he might... really help you without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's pupils constricted sharply, and her expression became extremely complicated.

After a long silence, she gently shook her head, her voice carrying a weariness and resolve that outsiders could not comprehend:
"Teacher, carrying the burden of a blood feud is a very painful thing."

"No one knows what I will face when I return to Tiandu next time. Lin Chen has helped me too much in the past, I can't... drag him into this bottomless abyss again."

Seeing her determination, the old doctor didn't try to persuade her any further, and simply nodded.
"I was just saying that. Since you've already made up your mind, let's set off."

……

Three days later, the detailed account of the battle in Snow Dragon Valley spread like wildfire throughout the entire Cangling Ancient Kingdom!

"Have you heard? Lin Chen single-handedly fought against the two major forces of the Divine Race Ji Family and the Ancient Race Gu Family in Snow Dragon Valley!"

"It's more than just a confrontation! It's said that his bear evolved directly into a divine beast, level 92, and instantly killed the level 94 Black Gold Phoenix with a single move!"

"Really? That's way too exaggerated!"

“It’s absolutely true! I know an elder who was there at the time!”

"Later, Ji Changming, the heir of the Ji family, a level 96 Divine Tiger, was also instantly killed by that bear in one move! The scene was earth-shattering!"

"Are none of Lin Chen's spirit beasts normal? This is defying the heavens!"

In taverns, teahouses, and on every street corner, countless beast tamers were discussing this earth-shattering battle with great enthusiasm.

Lin Chen's name once again resounded throughout every corner of the country with an unparalleled domineering presence.

It seems that ever since the Beast Fighting Tournament, Lin Chen has been doing something amazing every now and then.

Of course, besides Lin Chen's incredible battle bear, there was another thing that sparked even more speculation.

"Who do you think that mysterious powerful figure who appeared at the end was? He was actually able to summon the legendary spirit dragon!"

"He forced Ji Lin, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family at level ninety-nine, to retreat with a single move! With such strength, he has probably already reached the pinnacle of the continent!"

"This must be a reclusive master from the National Academy! Who else but the National Academy could cultivate the Spirit Dragon Technique to such a level?"

"With such a powerful figure in charge, what do we have to fear from the gods!"

Countless human beast tamers were greatly encouraged by this, as if they saw the hope for the rise of humanity.

This news naturally reached Tiandu at the fastest speed.

Today, with the support of enormous financial resources, Tiandu has long been rebuilt at the foot of Tianzi Mountain, restoring its former prosperity and bustle.

When news of Lin Chen reached the ears of the four major families, it caused a huge shock.

The vast majority of forces in Tiandu do not actually want to see Lin Chen truly rise to power.

An uncontrollable, powerful individual with unlimited potential poses a significant threat to their dominance.

However, they were filled with immense inner conflict.

Lin Chen is no longer someone they can easily mess with.

He is a hero who fought against the gods, and an idol and a symbol in the hearts of countless human beast tamers.

Faced with such a noble cause, anyone who dares to lay a hand on him is an enemy of all mankind!

They could only pin their hopes on the gods, hoping that the gods could completely eliminate this major threat.

Inside the National Academy, Gu Ning listened quietly to her subordinates' report, her face calm and even showing a hint of disdain.

He didn't care about the strength Lin Chen had shown.

Now, his ancestral dragon power has been fully mastered, and his combat strength has long stood at the pinnacle of the continent.

Lin Chen was no match for him.

What truly interested him was the mysterious old man. "A spirit dragon?"

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Gu Ning's eyes.

No one knew better than him just how powerful the Dragon Transformation Technique could be when cultivated to its peak.

The old man's displayed strength was clearly related to the Dragon Transformation Technique or the legendary Dragon Fighting Technique.
Otherwise, an ordinary spirit dragon could never have defeated the Ji family's level 99 divine tiger so easily!
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Ning's eyes, and he coldly said to the scout ahead:
"Use all available resources to investigate this person's identity and background!"

"Yes!" The scout accepted the order and hurriedly left.

But after he left, Gu Ning still had a furrowed brow.

He knew that such reclusive experts could not be found by conventional means.

He waved slightly.

A shadowy figure, as elusive as a ghost, appeared silently behind him.

The man was shrouded in black, exuding an eerie aura. Most striking of all were his two distinctly different eyes—

One is normal, but the other has a beast-like vertical pupil!

His name is Ma Xingyu, a monster that is neither human nor beast, a surviving experimental subject.

He was rescued from hell by Zhong Nan and became the shadow of the National Academy of Education, a sharpest assassination blade.

When Zhong Nanshan passed away, he was in seclusion, and he only emerged from seclusion two years ago.

"Go and investigate," Gu Ning said succinctly to Ma Xingyu.

"Didn't the Grand Preceptor already send someone?" Ma Xingyu's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of amusement.

“You should know,” Gu Ning turned around and looked at him calmly, “that conventional methods won’t find this kind of person.”

Ma Xingyu grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "It seems that the Grand Preceptor cares a lot about this person."

Finally, he cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Ning, turned and left, his black figure disappearing slowly outside the gate as if blending into the shadows.

……

Meanwhile, after parting ways with Ning Ye and the others, Lin Chen and Li Zhen had already turned back south.

"Is it really him?" Li Zhen still found it hard to believe.

"Yes." Lin Chen nodded. "I won't mistake that aura."

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "It seems that Miss Bai Ling is with him now. In that case, you don't need to worry too much about her safety."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement, but his mind was still full of questions.

The two briefly discussed the old doctor's identity, but could only reach a vague conclusion in the end—

He might be one of the unknown successors of the Imperial Advisor Gu Wei.

In his spare time, Lin Chen also summoned his spirit beast. Little Red's injuries had mostly healed, so it seemed she hadn't suffered a fatal wound.

However, recalling that dangerous attack, Lin Chen also felt a chill run down his spine.

Then Lin Chen looked at the polar bear and said, "You did well this time."

The polar bear chuckled, patted its belly, and gestured for Lin Chen to pat its head.

Lin Chen then reached out and touched the polar bear's head, and soon a large amount of information flooded his mind.

"How is it?" Li Zhen looked at Lin Chen expectantly.

Lin Chen nodded, his face beaming with joy, and said, "It really is a double-jump evolution."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen exclaimed in shock, "This fragment of the Great Dao is terrifying!"

Lin Chen felt the same way. Not only could it raise a terrifying level, but it could also evolve. This kind of thing was too heaven-defying.

If it weren't for the intense pursuit by the gods, Lin Chen would have liked to take down a few more.

"This combat law is really powerful. Xiao Hei's combat strength was terrifying back then." Li Zhen recalled the battle situation at that time and gave the big white bear a thumbs up.

The polar bear also showed a look of joy.

It has been training diligently all these years, and now it is finally seeing results.

Just as Lin Chen said, once its level increases, its strength will undergo a qualitative change.

And today is the moment the Great Polar Bear has been eagerly anticipating.
It can finally protect Lin Chen like Little White and Little Red.

The two ultimately decided to travel slowly and see if they could stumble upon another secret realm. If they did, they would conquer it.

Lin Chen also hoped to get a fragment of the Great Dao for Li Zhen, since Li Zhen's Phoenix Arm still had great potential.

Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any new secret realms along the way and could only continue south, traversing the vast territory of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, finally arriving at the border between the two countries.

Before us lies the border of the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom.

Unlike the prosperity and diversity of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, the Nanfen Ancient Kingdom gives the first impression of being rugged, vast, and...

single.

On the vast red plain, drought-resistant plants grow sparsely.

The air was filled with a dry and scorching heat, as if even the wind carried sparks.

The city's buildings here are mostly constructed from massive red rocks, exhibiting a bold yet rustic style.

The beast tamers walking on the streets were mostly burly and dark-skinned.

More than 80% of the spirit beasts accompanying them were bovine spirit beasts of various shapes and sizes.

From the most common armored bull to the rare lava fire bull, there's something for everyone.

In the ancient kingdom of Nanfen, the ox was an absolute totem, a symbol of power and wealth.

The various bovine spirit beast clans, led by the Bull Demon Clan, control the absolute lifeline of this country.

Compared to the vibrant and diverse Cangling Ancient Kingdom, the economic structure and overall strength here are considerably weaker.

But precisely because of this, the local people are also more rugged.

However, besides its flourishing bovine culture, the ancient kingdom of Nanfen had something else that was famous throughout the Blue Star.

That is religion.

In the ancient kingdom of Nanfen, the most powerful force was a religion called Atuo Sect.

That is.
The religion in the hearts of the people of the ancient Nanfen Kingdom.
