Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 99 Beast King's Cub

As a data "master", Lin Chen must have a clear understanding of his own "strength" in order to make judgments on the situation.

Like when facing Zhao Liang's Shadow Tiger before, because the opponent's level was too high, Lin Chen judged that Xiao Bai's strength might not be able to defeat him.

The final result was the same: although Xiaobai seized the opportunity, the opponent was too strong.

However, if Xiaobai had already mastered the barbaric bloodline at that time, Lin Chen would have accepted the challenge without hesitation.

After all, Lin Chen had great faith in Xiao Bai's potential after activating the Savage Bloodline, even though the opponent's level was so high.

Let's begin.

Lin Chen put the cheerleader Xiao Hong on his shoulder and faced Xiao Bai, who was ready.

"Moo~~"

With a hoofbeat, the skills test officially began.

"Impact with iron horn, no obvious change."

"The Soul-Suppressing Hoof shows no obvious changes."

Lin Chen made a note of it and said to Xiao Bai after he had rested, "Use the Savage Bloodline."

"Moo~~"

Xiao Bai roared angrily, exhaling blue smoke from his nose, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Lin Chen, holding the notebook, asked, "How does it feel, Xiao Bai?"

Xiao Bai didn't answer him. Lin Chen looked up and saw Xiao Bai staring at him.

Suddenly, Little White's horns turned red, and then it activated its skill:
Iron Horn Impact!

"Stop fooling around, Little White." Lin Chen said, thinking that Little White was going to scare it again.

However, Xiao Bai showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it leaped into the air and its Soul-Suppressing Hoof stomped mercilessly toward Lin Chen.

"No way!" Lin Chen was drenched in sweat, and at this moment he completely understood.

As before, it seems the savage bloodline has been enhanced.
So, Xiaobai lost control again.

"."

As Lin Chen watched the shockwave of the Soul-Suppressing Hoof approach, he shouted loudly without hesitation:
"Senior, save me."

The little fox covered its eyes in panic, just then a calm voice rang out from inside the room:

"stop!"

In an instant, the charging Little White stopped and erected a vine wall in front of Lin Chen, blocking the impact of the Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

"That was close."

Lin Chen was still shaken.

Fortunately, Young Master Qin was here.
However, it was only because Qin Shaoshao was here that Lin Chen dared to relax like this. Otherwise, given Lin Chen's "fear of death" personality, he would have run far away long ago when testing his barbaric bloodline.

Lin Chen put down his diary, looked at the unconscious Xiao Bai, and asked Qin Shao Shao inside the room, "Did it lose control again?"

“Although I don’t know what you did, its mental erosion has intensified, but it should be able to control the power of the first stage,” Qin Shaoshao replied.

Although she watched the whole process, she didn't know how Lin Chen did it.

However, she wasn't curious and naturally didn't ask.

"That's alright, I thought I was going to lose another skill." Lin Chen smiled again.

But it only lasted for three seconds.
wrong.

In that case, wouldn't Xiaobai have to continue cultivating his mental power?
Lin Chen felt a headache coming on.

Mental cultivation is inherently difficult for beginners, and the materials used for mental cultivation are extremely valuable.

However, Lin Chen had no reason to give up.
After all, you get what you pay for, and the power of the wild bloodline is undeniable.

"Moo~~"

When Xiaobai woke up, it remembered what it had done and immediately felt sad.

It tried its best to control its reason, but the erosion of its spirit made it launch an attack regardless of everything.
Its head was so low it seemed to bury itself in the ground.

"This is not your fault. After all, the barbaric bloodline has been an insurmountable obstacle in history."

"Besides, with you here, senior, you can't hurt me in the slightest."

Lin Chen reassured him.

He could sense Xiaobai's fear and dread through telepathy.

This emotion is extremely strong.

After all, it had just attacked its closest family members.

This is unacceptable for a novice.

Lin Chen quickly made a note of it, while the little fox muttered something.

"You saw five cows?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

The little fox nodded.

"Could it be that you can transform into five oxen in one breath?" Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised and told Xiao Bai to rest before trying again.

As expected, everything was just as Qin Shaoshao had said.

If a novice unlocks the first stage, which is the beginner level of the Savage Bloodline, they will not lose their mind. However, if they unlock the master level, they will lose their mind.

Furthermore, Lin Chen had also tested it, and it was indeed possible to transform one breath into five oxen under the second stage of the Savage Bloodline.

"I wonder how much the power has increased."

Lin Chen was looking forward to it.

According to the book, the effects of those at the Divine Enlightenment Realm and above increase dramatically with each minor level advancement.

After Xiaobai was stopped from falling asleep again by Qin Shaoshao, the latter suddenly spoke up and said, "If you are also worried about not being able to stop it once it gets out of control, I can teach you this trick."

"Senior, are you saying that I can also call a halt?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Qin Shao Shao nodded.

"But my mental strength..."

"I will imprint a mental mark on it, recording only your voice and the words you utter," Qin Shaoshao said. "Do you need it?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then asked, "Will it affect it?"

"No," Qin Shaoshao shook his head and said, "When its spiritual power is fully developed, it can break this mark on its own."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior."

Lin Chen cupped his hands in gratitude.

Qin Shaoshao lightly tapped the table, and a petal suddenly flew out. As it approached Xiaobai, it blurred into a shadow and finally disappeared between Xiaobai's eyebrows, leaving a petal mark.

However, the mark soon disappeared.

"Did it work?" Lin Chen asked.

Qin Shaoshao said calmly:
"You can try it once it wakes up."

Another hour passed, and Xiaobai finally woke up.

Lin Chen told it about this, and Xiao Bai was overjoyed.

In this way, it won't be able to harm Lin Chen and Xiao Hong.

"Moo~~"

Although Xiaobai was upset about being told to stop, it still insisted on trying.

Sure enough, when Xiaobai lost her temper, Lin Chen shouted "Stop!" and Xiaobai immediately stopped.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, after Xiao Bai woke up, she asked Lin Chen to try again.

"It must be really scared."

Lin Chen tried it again and found that it still worked.

This is equivalent to the golden headband on Sun Wukong.

After waking up for the third time, Xiaobai finally bellowed happily.

"Come on, let's try the Savage Bloodline under the first stage again and see if the skills have changed?" Lin Chen said.

Little White nodded, activating the first stage of its savage bloodline. This time, it was completely unaffected.

As Lin Chen anticipated, Xiao Bai unleashed its full power with its Iron Horn Charge.

There have been changes.

Lin Chen was surprised.

All that could be seen was the Iron Horn Impact under the Savage Bloodline in the first stage, with a fourth afterimage faintly visible.

But it's very faint.

"4.5?"

Lin Chen shook his head with a wry smile and made a note of it.

Newbies don't understand what 4.5 is, but the power increase isn't significant, that's for sure.

“Reaching 4.5 means you’re not far from breaking through to level 5,” Lin Chen encouraged. “I believe that as long as you train diligently, you can use One Breath Transforms into Five Oxen even without entering the second stage of the Savage Bloodline.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai nodded emphatically, then turned and walked into the house.

"Where are you going?" Lin Chen asked.

"Moo~~" Little White's pupils were firm and bright.
What it means is:

I'll take a shower and come to training right away.

Lin Chen was quite satisfied with Xiao Bai's improvement this time. Not only was he able to use and control the Savage Bloodline, but he also learned how to control Xiao Bai's loss of mind.

In this way, if necessary, Lin Chen could even put Xiaobai into mad bull mode.

However, Lin Chen only thought about it for a moment; in most cases, it would not use this move.

With about ten days to go before the King of Bulls competition, Xiaobai is training even harder.

As for Lin Chen, he once again transformed into a hard-working laborer, grinding flour again.

Although Lin Chen is earning a lot now, he is also spending a lot.

Besides frequently buying spirit beast meat, they also need to buy tonics and even better spirit herbs.

This is a very large expense.

Therefore, Lin Chen's funds remained around 800,000, without any dramatic increase.

However, Lin Chen would still occasionally give a little pocket money to the two spirit beasts.
After all, if the little fox hadn't suggested setting up a stall, Lin Chen wouldn't have this income now.

"Its allowance must be over a thousand yuan by now," Lin Chen thought to himself, glancing at the little fox.

The first thing Xiaobai does every day after waking up is to take a shower.

The first thing the little fox does every morning when he wakes up is to check his piggy bank before he starts cooking.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. To Lin Chen's surprise, Xiao Bai actually broke through to the next level the day before their departure.

In other words, Xiaobai is now level 16.

Lin Chen wasn't too surprised by this.

After all, it had been almost a month, and Xiaobai had even undergone a bloodline purification process in the middle.

"This will increase my chances of winning the Bull King's Heart," Lin Chen thought with great anticipation.

Lin Chen had arranged to meet Qin Hao and the others at the guild. He also asked Qin Shaoshao, but the other party didn't seem interested. However, Lin Chen didn't expect Li Zhen to say that he wanted to go too.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Chen asked in surprise, wondering if the president of the association had nothing better to do.
“I am a specially invited VIP.” Li Zhen showed off his VIP badge and said, “Do you understand the significance of being specially invited?”

"."

Lin Chen and the others were speechless, but Bai Jiajia said, "President, could you take us to the VIP seats to watch?"

"Not in principle."

Everyone was disappointed.

Li Zhen picked up the sign again and said, "But the principles are in my hands now, so..."

He said smugly, "Let's see how you do."

The three were overjoyed and immediately tried to curry favor with Li Zhen.

Lin Chen shook his head with a wry smile and followed behind, boarding the Gale Beast bound for Black Mountain City.

This time, they were once again received by Wu Ying, the guild leader of Black Mountain City.

As two neighboring cities, the two guilds often help each other resist beast tides and go on joint missions, so the two have a very good relationship.

This time, the VIP plaque was also given to Li Zhen by Wu Ying.

After settling in, Wu Ying looked at Lin Chen and said, "You've caused me a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen said in surprise, "Senior, I don't remember offending you."

"Thanks to your feat of finding the cave within a cave last time, now when those monster hunters can't find the entrance, they start to suspect that it's a cave within a cave." Wu Ying sighed, "It's so annoying. There's one right under our feet, but they insist on thinking about some kind of cave within a cave."

"."

Lin Chen and the others were speechless.

After finishing their meal, Lin Chen asked, "President, are you free?"

"Spit it out." Li Zhen was always very rude to Lin Chen.

"I want to buy some fruit and visit Senior Xu Youzhen."

"Forehead?"

“He helped me last time, so I should naturally go and visit him,” Lin Chen said.

“Alright, it’s rare for me to come to Black Mountain City, I’ll catch up with that old man.” Li Zhen stood up, then added, “I haven’t seen you show me any gratitude.”

Lin Chen immediately turned his head, only to hear Li Zhen say, "No, you're definitely up to no good. You're probably trying to get his help again."

"The president's misunderstanding of me is getting deeper and deeper."

"Let's go." Li Zhen walked outside, and Lin Chen quickly followed.

After buying a basket of fruit, Lin Chen and his group returned to Tai Niu Courtyard.

In this huge square, many arenas have been set up, and there are also seats for spectators.

Judging from this, the King of Bulls competition being held in Black Mountain City this time is quite large in scale.

Xu Youzhen is quite busy because many tourists come to Heishan City. In order to leave a good impression on the tourists, experts like Xu Youzhen need to "go out" and provide free services.

Li Zhen and his group did meet his female disciple, Jiang Yue.

When Jiang Yue saw the two of them, she first greeted Li Zhen, and then stared blankly at Lin Chen.

"Little Jiang Yue, you've taken a fancy to Lin Chen?" Li Zhen teased.

Jiang Yue shook her head, swallowed hard, and looked at Lin Chen, asking, "Is that... true?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, and guessed that she was referring to the matter of barbaric bloodlines.

After all, the appearance of the barbaric bloodline did indeed cause quite a stir.

Black Mountain City is known to be a bully city, so it's normal to know that.

Lin Chen nodded.

Jiang Yue looked at Lin Chen with sympathy and said, "After hearing this, your teacher also looked up some information for you. He said that training your mental strength might be effective."

Lin Chen was extremely surprised when he heard this.

Experts are experts.

A sly glint flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.
You didn't expect that, did you?

Niu Niu has already mastered it.

Lin Chen didn't intend to tell anyone, since this was a championship competition and he was after the Heart of the Bull King. He wanted to keep his trump cards as much as possible.

Jiang Yue is also one of the competitors in this competition.

Xu Youzhen returned late at night and was very happy to see Li Zhen and Lin Chen.

Finally, the wine and dishes were served.

After chatting for a while, Xu Youzhen looked at Lin Chen and said, "Xiaoyue told you everything, right?"

Lin Chen nodded.

“Indeed, it will be difficult for your plow-horned beast to cultivate spiritual power, but it’s not impossible,” Xu Youzhen said. “How about this, after you finish eating, I’ll give you another chance to practice what I preached to you.”

"That would be exactly what I wanted." Lin Chen had come for this very reason, and was just wondering how to bring it up.

"However, this improvement is unlikely to be significant," Xu Youzhen cautioned.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Xu Youzhen, despite her exhaustion, gave Xiaobai a piece of advice that was like playing music to a cow.

However, it didn't really have any effect; it only made Xiaobai's beast strength a little stronger, but it wasn't as noticeable as the first time.

Xu Youzhen and Jiang Yue, on the other hand, were utterly shocked by Xiaobai's One Qi Transforms into Four Oxen.

It's only been a few months, and Xiaobai has become even more monstrous.

Jiang Yue had originally wanted to fight again, but now she has given up on that idea.

“Even without its third skill, it can still challenge for a top ranking this time,” Xu Youzhen said.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Youzhen and asked, "Senior, there must be many experts participating this time, right?"

Li Zhen rolled his eyes.

He said that Lin Chen had no good intentions and that this basket of fruit was not so easy to take.

Besides having to play music to a brick wall, they also have to come and gather information on their opponents.
"Yes."

Xu Youzhen said, "This time, the King of the Bulls competition only has a juvenile group. The level of the bull-type spirit beasts is limited to level 20 or below, and the level of the beast tamer is also limited to the same."

"Therefore, many novice beast tamers will come to participate in this competition."

"This time, our Black Mountain City even made a special trip to the outer city to invite a young master from a family of cattle breeders."

"You mean the Li family?" Li Zhen asked immediately.

"Correct."

Xu Youzhen nodded.

Lin Chen had also heard of this family's reputation; it seemed their ancestors were very skilled at controlling cattle, which was why the family had a deep affection for cattle for generations, and had established an ancestral precept:
Every member of the family must own a cow.

It was with this ancestral instruction that the descendants of the Li family began their careers in cattle breeding, and carried out comprehensive optimization in breeding, evolution, and varieties.

Rumor has it that the Li family is always present when there are good calves in the market.

"This time, the Li family has eight contestants. The young master is named Li Jiuxiao, and his contracted spirit beast is a bull-like beast king calf."

　The 10,000-word update is complete. See you tomorrow.
