Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 83 The Scheming Stone Man

The three waited for the "plot" to unfold, and soon they arrived at the dormitory door.

The person who arrived was Zhang Shi, whose position had been taken away.

He arrived at the door and scanned the three men; his face was as black as charcoal.

"So it's the three of you, right?"

Instead of answering, Cai Yuanji asked, "Are you Ye Yun's brother? You do look somewhat like him."

Lin Chen's eyes widened. Zhang Shi looked like a roughneck, while Ye Yun looked refined and cultured. They really didn't seem like that.

"Who the hell knows Ye Yun?" Zhang Shi was stunned and shouted, "My name is Zhang Shi, Zhang as in Zhang Shi, Shi as in Zhang Shi."

"."

The entire arena fell silent, including Zhang Shi's two teammates behind him, all of whom looked up at the sky.
Their captain is great in every way, except he thinks he's very funny.

Little did he know that the jokes he told were not only unfunny, but also rather lame.

Zhang Shi also noticed the awkward atmosphere and pointed at them, saying, "Who among you took third place?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and the others immediately understood.

The next second, Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji immediately pointed at Lin Chen.
"."

Lin Chen was speechless. Did they have to betray him so quickly?

"Okay, you are, right?"

"What do you want?" Cai Yuanji was quite defiant, after all, he wasn't targeting him directly, and he arrogantly said, "If you have the guts, then hit him."

Zhang Shi was furious after hearing this, but he really didn't dare to make a move.

The rules of the inner courtyard are the rules; if you don't follow them, you could be expelled.

"If you don't dare, then get lost." Cai Yuanji laughed directly.

Lin Chen ignored him. Although Cai Yuanji was a bit flamboyant, he was definitely not a friend anymore, so it didn't matter if he was a little flamboyant, since the other party couldn't hit him anyway.

"Lin Chen, right? I've heard of you." Zhang Shi pointed at Lin Chen and said, "If you're so capable, let's have a one-on-one fight."

“We’re not stupid. You’ve already been through two terms, who would want to fight you?” Cai Yuanji said.

“My second spirit beast is similar to yours, also level twelve,” Zhang Shi said. “If you’re a man, don’t be afraid to fight.”

Lin Chen naturally objected, but unexpectedly Zhang Shi said again:
"I won, so we switch positions. I'm fourth now. If I had lost, fourth place would have been yours."

“There are only three of us, what do we need so many seats for?” Cai Yuanji sneered.

Lin Chen, however, stirred slightly. He asked Cai Yuanji in a low voice, "Do you think this location of the small secret realm can be sold?"

“Of course, and it would be very popular, you.” Cai Yuanji’s eyes lit up.

He had known Lin Chen for a long time, and he always preferred to maximize his own interests.

Zhang Shi's bet was actually a losing proposition. Even if Lin Chen lost, he would at worst be fourth place, and the difference in spiritual energy wouldn't be that much.

Lin Chen's eyes were filled with greed. He took a breath and said, "I'm a kind-hearted person, and I think what you said makes sense. I feel a little guilty for taking your position."

"."

Qin Hao and the other man rolled their eyes; they really couldn't see how guilty Lin Chen was.

"As you wish."

As Lin Chen finished speaking, Zhang Shi's face lit up with ecstasy.

He didn't question Lin Chen's words, assuming that the other party genuinely felt guilty, so he found Lin Chen more agreeable.

As they were talking, Zhang Shi led them to the arena.

An arena is essential in the inner courtyard to facilitate students' sparring matches.

Someone spread the word that Zhang Shi was going to fight Lin Chen in a beast battle, and a large group of people immediately came.

"You can still place bets?" Cai Yuanji and Qin Hao were surprised.

There are also limits on betting here, otherwise it would really become a casino, but the limits are much higher than those of the Beastmaster Guild, capped at 10,000.

"Buy it or not?"

"This time, it's Zhang Shi's second spirit beast: the Xuan Gang Beast. We're bound to win, right?"

"This Lin Chen is no ordinary person either; he led his team to the top of the Hundred Stars Ranking."

"That's because their team is strong; Ning Tian's younger brother, Ning Ziming, is also in it."

The students started discussing it, some began placing bets, and some students from the same year also came over, for example...
Chen Tao.

Chen Tao's expression was complicated when he saw Lin Chen.

Although he did not participate in the malicious team formation, he was still guilty of harboring a criminal and was therefore severely punished.

After thinking it over, Chen Tao finally bet on Lin Chen.

"What's wrong with you? Are you scared of being beaten?" Someone recognized Chen Tao, after all, he was once the second on the list of 100 stars.

"Mind your own business. I have plenty of money, okay?"

Chen Tao retorted and immediately placed a bet of 10,000.

The reason he chose Lin Chen was because he had personally witnessed how terrifying Xiao Bai was.
Even the Thunder Pattern Beast could fight it, so it would be too difficult for the Mystic Gang Beast to win.

[Mystic Beast]

[Intermediate Spiritual Metamorphosis]

Skill 1: Ki Blast

[Skill 2: Qi Shield]

It is also known as the Qi Gong Beast, which uses its Qi for defense and offense. It is an all-around battle pet and is also a Spirit Transformation level spirit beast.

Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji naturally bet against Lin Chen without thinking, since his abnormality was well-known.

Once the betting was complete, the notary began closing the betting table. The odds depended entirely on the table bets, and the notary only took two hundred. It wasn't that everyone in the Inner Court looked down on Lin Chen, but as an Inner Court member, and considering what Lin Chen had done before, it was reasonable to support Zhang Shi.

"Ready to begin," the notary said.

"Wait a minute," Zhang Shi said.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhang Shi in confusion.

At this moment, the Xuan Gang Beast sat in place and began to meditate, no one knew what it was doing.

Lin Chen ignored him and gave some instructions to Xiao Bai, since it was Xiao Bai's first time facing a spirit beast at the Spirit Transformation level.

"Remember, you must never use the barbaric bloodline."

Lin Chen had his own considerations. Recently, Xiao Bai had been eating and training a lot, but he had been doing less actual combat.

The reason he agreed to Zhang Shi's request was not only because he wanted the money, but also because he wanted to give Xiaobai some experience.

Xiao Bai nodded and walked onto the stage.

The students also started talking about Xiaobai.

"I heard that it was this thing that defeated Ye Yun and his group. Is it really that powerful?"

"I've also inquired about it, and it's indeed powerful. Its second skill is Soul-Suppressing Hoof, and it can also perform combo skills. I heard that its most abnormal skill is its first skill, which seems to have reached the Divine Enlightenment Realm."

"That's so perverted."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and some people began to regret their decision.

However, these people soon rekindled their hope.

because
"The Xuan Gang Beast has broken through!"

Someone shouted, and everyone looked over to see that the Xuan Gang Beast had indeed leveled up from level twelve to level thirteen.

Zhang Shi, beaming with joy, laughed heartily and said:
"Lin Chen, you didn't expect this, did you? I know your horned beast is powerful, but I'm smarter than you."

“My spirit beast could have broken through a week ago, but I made it endure until now.”

"This is the battle we've been preparing for!"

Everyone was in an uproar, including Zhang Shi's teammates, who were dumbfounded.

Zhang Shi had a nickname in the inner courtyard: "Stone Man," which meant he wasn't very bright.

I never expected him to be so cunning.

He then added with a laugh, "The ring contract has already been signed, and you can't back out now."

"I was being a bit underhanded this time, but it was also out of respect for you."

"You can also choose to admit defeat."

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen said, "Why are there so many lines? Let's get started."

"."

Zhang Shi was furious, and the others also felt that Lin Chen was being arrogant.

The Xuan Gang Beast is already all-around powerful, and now it's even a level above the Lijiao Beast, so it has a very high chance of winning.

"Mystic Beast, beat it up!" Zhang Shi gave the order directly.

This time, besides trying to scheme against Lin Chen, he also intended to clear his name as "Stone Man." He was happily showing off when his spellcasting was interrupted, which naturally made him furious.

At his command, the Xuan Gang Beast immediately unleashed a wave of energy towards Xiao Bai.

The energy wave had a golden tinge and moved extremely fast.

Xiao Bai quickly dodged, activated his Iron Horn Impact, and took advantage of the opportunity to rush forward.

Soul-Suppressing Hoof!
Combo skill triggered! Upon seeing this, the students below erupted in an uproar. Many spirit beasts practice combo skills, but very few can master them.

Seeing that the Xuan Gang Beast was unable to dodge the Soul-Suppressing Hoof, Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji were overjoyed, but Zhang Shi revealed a strange smile and shouted again:
"Mystic Beast, activate your Qi Barrier."

In an instant, a golden shield resembling a bell appeared, firmly protecting the Xuan Gang Beast within it.

when!
The Soul-Suppressing Hoof slammed down on it, making a loud noise.

Just as the little white iron horn was about to charge, Lin Chen's voice came at the right moment:

"Get away!"

Xiao Bai didn't understand, but he immediately jumped up and canceled the Iron Horn Impact. Only then did he see that the Soul-Suppressing Hoof had been bounced back.

A spirit beast at the Spirit Transformation level will naturally have its skill strength increased by a significant stage.

"Hehe." Zhang Shi smiled.

Its second skill is a bit overpowered; it looks like a defensive skill, but it can actually reflect skills.

Lin Chen naturally didn't know what its second skill was; he only realized it after seeing it.

Seeing that Xiaobai had lost its agility in the air, the Xuan Gang Beast's keen combat instincts prompted it to unleash another wave of energy.

This time, Xiaobai had no chance to dodge and was hit directly, flying back a meter away before crashing heavily to the ground.

However, due to the very limited opportunity, the energy wave unleashed by the Xuan Gang Beast this time was not its strongest, so the damage was not significant.

Many students in the audience were delighted; they had guessed correctly this time and had even managed to save face for the inner academy.

Xiao Bai stood up and shook himself.

"Trust your judgment." Lin Chen knew what it was going to do.

The next second, Xiaobai started running.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and someone shouted, "It's about to unleash the One Breath Transforms into Three Oxen!"

Sure enough, under everyone's watchful eyes, the afterimages on Xiaobai's body continued to rise.

One.

two.

Seeing this, Zhang Shi remained calm and composed. He clapped his hands, and the Xuan Gang Beast immediately roared. Then, an even larger golden bell enveloped the Xuan Gang Beast.

"A perfect-level Qi shield?!"

"No wonder he's ranked third on the Hundred Stars List."

someone exclaimed.

It's very noticeable; the bell is bigger and thicker.

This is also an advantage of high-level beast tamers. They have experience when raising their first spirit beast, so the speed will naturally increase when raising their second spirit beast.

This is similar to playing a game, where experienced players start a new account from scratch.

Xiao Bai also saw the giant golden bell shield. He had originally planned to use the One Breath Transforms into Three Oxen technique, but this time he felt uncertain.

Gritted my teeth
Another angry shout!

Speed ​​increased again!

Everyone knew that if Xiaobai couldn't break through the Qi Barrier even with his One Qi Transforms into Three Oxen technique, then Xiaobai was doomed to lose.

Amidst the joy, some noticed the changes in Xiaobai...
"What is it doing?"

"It seems to be increasing its speed."

A gasp of surprise immediately drew the attention of countless people.

In the blink of an eye, a fourth afterimage appeared!
"One vaporized into four oxen?" Some people swallowed hard, unable to accept this fact.

Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji were also stunned.

Has Little White evolved yet again after such a short time?

This "Transformation of Qi into Three Oxen" is originally an effect of the Divine Enlightenment Realm, and it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as one progresses. How come it's as easy as drinking water for a novice like him?
Before they could react, Xiaobai had already reached the Golden Bell and rammed its horns into it.

Dang! ! !
A tremendous impact rang out, followed by a crack, and before the stunned eyes of everyone at Golden Bell, it vanished instantly.

Finally, Xiaobai's bull head crashed heavily into the Xuan Gang Beast, sending the latter flying backward to the edge of the arena, where it fell unconscious.

The noise from the audience reached its peak at this moment:
"It's truly terrifying that one breath can transform into four oxen."

"This is the first time I've ever seen this before. Even a Qi Shield at its peak couldn't withstand it."

"What a pervert."

The students below the stage were stunned, especially the older students, who now understood why Ye Yun and his team had lost.

When you encounter such a pervert, you can only accept your fate.

You have to understand, this is Zhang Shi's second spirit beast. Even an experienced player like him couldn't defeat it when leveling up a newbie, so Ye Yun and the others definitely couldn't either.

Zhang Shi was also stunned and remained in a daze for a while before hurriedly stepping forward to check on the Xuan Gang Beast's injuries.

It's probably because the protective aura absorbed most of the damage, so it's not a big problem.

Lin Chen waited patiently until he finished reading before asking, "So now your fourth place is mine."

Zhang Shi's pupils dilated. Although unwilling, he didn't renege on his promise and nodded. Just as he was about to take the Xuan Gang Beast to see a doctor, he heard Lin Chen ask:
Are you interested in the fourth one?

"?" Zhang Shi was puzzled. As a "stone man", his reaction was a bit slow.

Some people did understand something, and their lips twitched.

Lin Chen then said, "If you want it, I can sell it to you."

"."

Zhang Shi remained silent.

Everyone fell silent.

You just won something from someone else, and now you want to sell it back to them?

"Don't want to?" Lin Chen turned his head and looked at the others.

Many people were eyeing it with envy.
Most of the people present are not short of money.

The fourth spot in the Lesser Secret Realm is extremely rare and highly sought after.

"Wait, I need it." Zhang Shi said, "Wait a moment, I'll take the Xuan Gang Beast to the clinic first, and save a spot for me."

He hurriedly took two steps, then thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."

Everyone fell silent again.

Good guy.
If someone else takes his spot and then sells it back to him, he'll still thank them.

Lin Chen rarely saw such a polite "villain," and said, "You're welcome, I'll wait for you."

He immediately patted the cow's head after saying that.
This was also his first time coming into contact with the bloodline of a Spirit Transformation level spirit beast.

[Mystic Beast]

[Intermediate Spiritual Metamorphosis]

[Dominant Bloodline: Xuan Gang Beast 56.3%, War Spirit Beast 23.6%]

[Hidden bloodline: 13.2%]

[Contaminated bloodline: 6.9%]

The bloodline is not bad.

Lin Chen had a conjecture that the conversion rate was related to the category, but it should also be related to the quality.

According to this conjecture, the 13.2% of the Spirit Transformation level and the 13.2% of the Mortal level should not be at the same level when converted.

This incident brought increased attention to Lin Chen and his group, but at least they had some peace and quiet.

They weren't stupid. Lin Chen had even defeated Zhang Shi's second spirit beast, which meant he had defeated 99% of the people. The others wouldn't be so blind as to come and provoke him.

About three hours later, Zhang Shi rushed over.

"Name your price." Zhang Shi was an honest and simple man. As a "veteran player" who had been holding back, he still lost in the end. That meant he was simply outmatched and had no choice but to accept his fate.

What bargaining chips do you have?

"money."

"Besides money, is there anything else?" Lin Chen asked.

"What do you want?" Zhang Shi asked directly. "Just tell me."

"You're in the inner courtyard, so you must have a very wealthy family. Do you have any spiritual pills or cultivation secrets?" Lin Chen didn't hide anything.

Money must be useful to him.

But he is not in short supply right now.

Instead, his primary task is to enhance his mental strength and unlock the limitations of Xiaobai's third skill.

"What do you need this for?" Zhang Shi's lips twitched.

"Just tell me if you have it or not."

I didn't.

"next."

Zhang Shi became anxious and repeatedly said:
"Wait, although I don't have it, I know who does."
