Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 74 Expert Advice
Little White was naturally uncomfortable with these words. It wasn't that it was arrogant, but rather that it had trained hard day and night, only to receive such a result from the experts. This was a huge blow to the cow.

However, Xu Youzhen is a straightforward person who says what he sees; being coy is not his style.

Experts are all about skills and experience; they don't need much in the way of personal relationships.

Lin Chen sensed that Xiao Bai's "Dao Heart" was wavering, and quickly used telepathy to comfort him: "Xiao Bai, the experts' words are not absolute. The path is one that you have to walk yourself, and you still have me."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately felt much more at ease.

Correct!
The path is one you forge yourself, and each time your beast tamer grants you immense power.

"However, we should not take what others say lightly," Lin Chen reminded them.

He could tell that Xu Youzhen did indeed have some skill in this area.

However, Xiaobai's growth is the result of his gradual improvement of his bloodline, and cannot be analyzed using the methods of an ordinary cow.

Xiao Bai nodded again.

"I hope you don't mind what I'm saying," Xu Youzhen said to Lin Chen. "The growth of a spirit beast needs to be improved step by step, just like raising a child."

Lin Chen listened attentively and took the lessons to heart.

Xu Youzhen was indeed capable; he wanted to touch Xiaobai's horns, but Xiaobai resisted.

"Is it angry?" Xu Youzhen thought it was being stubborn.

He has studied bovine animals for many years and knows that most cattle have a stubborn temperament.

He tried to comfort him, but Lin Chen felt ashamed.
It wasn't that it was being stubborn; it was just that Xiaobai didn't like strangers touching it.

Lin Chen used telepathy to offer some advice, and only then did Xiao Bai agree.

After successfully touching it, Xu Youzhen went up and patted the cow's leg, finally saying, "It hasn't been eating enough supplements. Do you often feed it spirit herbs and rice?"

"Correct."

“This won’t do. It still needs to take supplements to improve its nutrition.” Xu Youzhen said with great experience, “The Ploughhorn Beast’s weapon is a bull’s horn, so it is best to take supplements with iron. At the same time, it can eat more meat, especially the leg meat of monsters, which can help improve its leg muscles and increase its speed.”

Lin Chen was sweating bullets.

The meat from this monster's leg is very valuable; a single leg could cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Sure enough, the spirit beasts really are just like human cubs—they devour money.

Finally, he said, "Chairman Li should have told you that I have a special skill: playing the lute to a cow."

Lin Chen nodded.

“I can indeed help you, but I need to test whether it can withstand the sound of the piano.” Xu Youzhen glanced at Li Zhen and said, “The fee is 100,000 yuan.”

Lin Chen glanced at Li Zhen, who knew Lin Chen was a cunning old fox and that he absolutely couldn't let him see through him, so he said, "He's an expert, so naturally his fees are high."

Lin Chen hesitated
Although he has a lot of money now, 100,000 yuan could probably buy a lot of supplements.

Unexpectedly, Xu Youzhen said again, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I won't charge you. If the effect is not up to standard, I still won't charge you."

Lin Chen was about to nod when Xiao Bai seemed a little reluctant.
Ten thousand yuan! How many Blood Spirit Grasses would that cost?

Niu Niu is heartbroken!

"Money can be earned again, and if you become stronger, you'll earn even more money," Lin Chen patiently reassured him.

The little fox also made a "coo" sound, indicating that it could take the money out of the piggy bank.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile and told the little fox that it wasn't necessary.

Little White also glanced at Little Red with emotion, because it knew that the little fox kept a close eye on the piggy bank, checking it several times a day.

"What kind of test?" Lin Chen asked.

“Fight,” Xu Youzhen said, pointing at Jiang Yue. “Its horned beast is also level eleven. Let them fight.”

Xu Youzhen, fearing that Lin Chen wouldn't believe him, also told him that his "playing the lute to a cow" technique only works better with spirit beasts of good physique; otherwise, it would be a waste of effort.

Jiang Yue was taken aback, not expecting Xu Youzhen's arrangement to be like this. Little White, on the other hand, let out a "moo" and looked at Lin Chen expectantly.

"Go ahead," Lin Chen waved.

Xiao Bai immediately took off running outside.

"Where did you go?" Xu Youzhen asked.

这牛
Cowardice?

Lin Chen was sweating bullets.

Actually, Xiaobai went to take a shower, since she had just been touched by a stranger.

However, he couldn't say this to Xu Youzhen, so he said instead:
"I, this plough-horned beast, have a habit of washing myself with cold water before battle to keep my sanity."

"There's such a habit?"

Xu Youzhen was dumbfounded. In his 30 years in the industry, he had never seen anything like this before.

Jiang Yue, however, tapped the bull's head on the ox-like creature beside her and said:

"Good habit!"

Xiaobai quickly finished his bath and walked in feeling refreshed.

When the group arrived at the arena at Tai Niu Courtyard, Li Zhen asked, "I see they're setting up an arena in the plaza outside. What's it for?"

"Don't you know?" Xu Youzhen said with great pride, "Black Mountain City is planning to establish the King of Bulls Competition."

"No wonder there are so many people lately," Li Zhen said after hearing this, though he was actually quite envious.

Lin Chen understood Li Zhen's emotions.

The championship competition is a cultural feature of the cities in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom. Because many cities have their own unique spirit beasts, they hold various competitions to expand their influence and allow more beast tamers to choose their spirit beasts.

One of the most famous competitions features bears. In the city where Li Zaiqing's Iron Paw Bear lives, the Bear King Competition is held every four years with generous rewards. It has become a form of city promotion and is very effective.

However, not all kinds of events can be organized.

Nine Star City used to have a Divine Fox Tournament, but it was canceled because there were too few participants.

The rise of city battles is now defined as a city's unique banner.

"This year is the starting year, so we have only set up a juvenile group, which is set for spirit beasts below level 20 to participate. More and more groups will be added in the future." A voice suddenly rang out while everyone was talking.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in a white robe walking over. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "This must be Chairman Li Zhen, right? I've heard so much about you."

Li Zhen didn't recognize him, so Xu Youzhen introduced him: "Zhu He, Dean of Tai Niu Academy."

The two "leaders" immediately exchanged pleasantries, and the previous topic naturally came to an abrupt end.

Lin Chen was actually a little curious about what the reward would be.

Two plow-horned beasts stepped onto the arena, and both beast tamers gave instructions that they should not go all out and that it would just be a normal sparring match.

Then, both sides were ready.

Zhu He, who was below, shook his head inwardly upon seeing this scene.

To be honest, he felt that Xu Youzhen was bullying him a bit.

Jiang Yue is his personal disciple, and his goal is to train her to achieve good results in the King of Bulls competition three months later.

Therefore, Jiang Yue's plow-horned beast was tired of hearing the same old story.

With the nurturing of various resources, the strength of this plough-horned beast has visibly increased.

Don't be fooled by its level eleven; it's strong enough to easily crush level twelve or even thirteen horned beasts.
