Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

"Teacher, that is Lin Chen."

At a high spot in the arena surrounded by the Celestial Shadow Guard, Zhang Jin pointed in the direction of Lin Chen and said to Zhong Nan beside him.

Zhong Nan nodded his head.

In fact, since he arrived here, he had been watching Lin Chen.

After observing for a while, he suddenly asked, "When did he get to know Bai Ling?"

"Probably after entering the Spirit Academy," Zhang Jin was somewhat puzzled but still asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Have someone look into it after the tournament," Zhong Nan didn't explain and just gave the order.

Zhang Jin, taken aback, still nodded.

Just as the two were talking, the referee floating above the stage finally spoke under the watchful eyes of the crowd:

[Cangling Ancient Country versus Ancient Kingdom of Xijun]

[First Battle of the New Arrivals]

[Begin!]

The moment the announcement was made, the entire arena erupted again into frenzy after a brief silence.

"Niu Niu, go for it, smash them!"

"They're not even from the Dragon Race, nothing to be afraid of."

"Little Fox, burn them to a crisp."

....

At the same time, the four Spirit Beasts on the stage sprang into action upon hearing the referee's announcement.

Xiaobai made the first move, instantly shifting into its evolution form, and then activated its Barbaric Bloodline, charging forward swiftly.

Little Fox stood behind Xiaobai, also immediately entering its evolution form.

Lin Chen had told them many times during training that if they were drawn into a skirmish, the main strength would be Xiaobai, whose task was singular.

While protecting itself, assist Xiaobai in winning the match.

It should be known that Xiaobai is Level 31, while it is only Level 25, which makes a six-level gap.

This gap causes Little Fox to be a wildcard in the match rather than a decisive factor.

So, Little Fox kept its eyes fixed on the opponent's movements.

After Xiaobai executed the Iron Horn Impact, the opponent finally moved.

The first to move was the Evergrove Wyvernspire, a Wood Attribute combat Spirit Beast with extremely formidable melee capabilities.

In an instant, Xiaobai bellowed deeply, its sturdy legs exerting force, charging forward like a heavy tank.

Upon seeing this, the Evergrove Wyvernspire let out an enraged roar, its short but powerful wings flapping rapidly to create a fierce wind; the Wood Armor on its body glowed dimly before the collision.

This was its Bloodline Skill:

[Sub-Dragon Leap]

Strictly speaking, the Evergrove Wyvernspire isn't a part of the Dragon Race but in a process of metamorphosis.

However, once this skill is activated, its combat power skyrockets.

As the bull horns were about to make contact, the Evergrove Wyvernspire suddenly turned sidewise, fiercely swinging its Wood Armor-covered front legs towards the bull's head.

This scene astonished the onlookers terribly.

The Evergrove Wyvernspire was indeed terrifying; even with Xiaobai's incredibly fast speed, the opponent still managed to react.

Bruce, seeing this, couldn't help but smile.

The Dragon Race is inherently strong in melee combat, what was Xiaobai thinking?

As the Wood Armor was about to smash onto the bull's head, just when everyone thought Xiaobai would suffer for its underestimation, its horns suddenly emitted a dark black light.

At this crisis point, Xiaobai directly activated its fourth skill.

Crack~~

The instant the Wood Armor made contact with the horns, it shattered into pieces.

"How is that possible?" Bruce, witnessing the shattering Wood Armor, had his pupils dilated.

The Evergrove Wyvernspire was just as shocked, its eyes widened.

This Wood Armor was a skill, equivalent to the scales of the Dragon Race...

Yet Xiaobai's Eternal Damnation Demon Horn could easily break its defense.

....

"Beautiful!"

"What skill is that? Does anyone recognize it?"

"No, it should be a Mutated Skill, right?"

"It's too strong, able to pierce something as hard as Dragon Scale?"

The audience, witnessing this scene, suddenly became as excited as if injected with adrenaline, shouting loudly.

The moment the Wood Armor shattered, Xiaobai intended to lift its hooves and use Soul-Calming Hoof: Illusion Spirit to end the match.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a squeal from Little Fox echoed.

Xiaobai quickly lowered its head, and just then, a Super Fireball shot out from behind.

Boom~~

That Super Fireball passed right between them, aiming directly at the Jade Shadow Wood Spirit.

Only then did Xiaobai raise its head, noticing a terrifying scene.

All around it were numerous floating leaves, clearly the skill of Jade Shadow Wood Spirit.

This was its core skill.

The Jade Shadow Wood Spirit specializes in using Wood Leaves as a means to exert Spiritual Power; once the Wood Leaves approach the enemy, they can control the opponent's Spiritual Power.

It was evident that during Xiaobai's attack on the Evergrove Wyvernspire, the Jade Shadow Wood Spirit had already begun its action.

This scene alarmed the entire audience.

Many hadn't paid attention to when the Jade Shadow Wood Spirit launched this skill.

Since the Evergrove Wyvernspire is of Wood Attribute, many initially ignored these green leaves.

Fortunately, Little Fox discovered it in time; otherwise, Xiaobai would have been harmed by these Wood Leaves.

Xiaobai quickly retreated, creating distance between the two parties again.

The previous round could only be considered a minor victory for Xiaobai, but the real battle was just beginning.

"Squeak~~"

Little Fox reminded Xiaobai that the opponent's Wood Leaves fly at high speed, cautioning it to be careful.

"Moo!"

Xiaobai bellowed, its entire body deepening in color.

Tier Two.

Tier Three.

Xiaobai directly activated its Tier Three Barbaric Bloodline, clearly intending to exert full force.

The Evergrove Wyvernspire, seeing this, was not willing to be outdone, letting out an angry roar, its Sub-Dragon Bloodline surging instantly.

In response to its roar, a bluish-brown tree appeared above its head.

Seeing this, many in the audience, including some guests, couldn't help but react with surprise.

Lin Chen watched that tree, exhaling slowly:

[All Things in the Universe]

This was the signature skill of the Evergrove Wyvernspire, akin to the Phoenix Karmic Fire of the Fire Phoenix.

The moment the illusory tree appeared, the Wood Energy hidden beneath the ground would converge entirely upon it, akin to it growing stronger continuously.

"How does it know this move?"

"No wonder it could become a candidate for the Divine Hall."

"Is this its fifth skill?"

The surrounding spectators buzzed with amazement.

Some even thought that Xiaobai and Little Fox...

Were in danger of losing this fight.

....

As Lin Chen marveled, Daoist Zhang hurriedly approached from behind, catching the changes on stage and exclaiming, "All Things in the Universe?"

As Lin Chen turned, seeing Zhang Daoist's unusual expression, he asked, "What happened?"

"There's been an incident in Sophomore Year."

Daoist Zhang informed Lin Chen he had rushed over to tell Lin Chen that a sophomore student's Spirit Beast had been severely injured.

"Who?"

"Ning Tian," Daoist Zhang replied.

Lin Chen was taken aback and asked, "Didn't Ning Tian win?"

Ning Tian was one of the three who won among the sophomores.

"Their opponent knew they couldn't win, so they chose a brutal approach. In his rush to win, Ning Tian didn't notice until he went to the medical center that both his Spirit Beasts were severely injured," Daoist Zhang explained, looking at the increasingly clear All Things in the Universe. He then suggested, "Should we surrender?"

Countering All Things in the Universe requires a significant cost.

Lin Chen watched the increasingly massive tree, but he said, "Don't rush! The show has just started!"
