Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

Therefore, this process of defying fate is even more painful.

....

Lin Chen had been watching over the Big White Bear the whole time, and it slept for two days and nights, which felt incredibly long.

On the third day, the Big White Bear finally woke up.

At first, its pupils gleamed, wanting to see what had changed.

But it quickly felt disappointed.

It was still at level 20, and aside from the basic skills, it had no other skills.

The Big White Bear looked dejectedly at Lin Chen, asking if it had failed.

Lin Chen didn't speak, instead, he patted its head:

[Iron Palm Bear]

[Advanced Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Iron Palm Bear 83.8%, Profound Armor Bear 1.332%, Frost Bear 1.8%.....]

[Hidden Bloodline: 7.2%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 2%]

The bloodline had increased by 9% successfully.

Which meant it succeeded.

Lin Chen spoke, "Xiao Hei, you need to be patient; to change your fate, you must take it one step at a time."

"Cultivation is a lifelong journey, you can't become a bigshot overnight."

The Big White Bear took a deep breath and then nodded seriously.

It realized it was indeed too eager for quick success.

Xiaobai and Xiao Hong, didn't they gain their current power after many enhancements?

The Big White Bear perked up again, asking Lin Chen if it had met the conditions for evolution.

"One more time."

Lin Chen said, "You are different from Xiaobai and them; you are gambling with fate."

"You can't afford to lose...."

The Big White Bear swallowed, then heard Lin Chen say, "I can't afford to lose either."

The Big White Bear froze, then understood the meaning behind Lin Chen's words, eyes reddening.

...

Indeed, Lin Chen dared not gamble.

83% of the bloodline does meet the first evolution requirement for Law Evolution, but Lin Chen doesn't want to take the risk.

Because if he gambles and loses, the Big White Bear would die instantly.

Given this situation, Lin Chen plans to purify the Big White Bear's bloodline again, boosting its dominant bloodline above 90.

Like other evolutions, the higher the evolution stage, the purer the bloodline needs to be.

Lin Chen laid out a regimen for the Big White Bear, basically three-pronged:

Physical training, eating, resting.

The Big White Bear is very persistent, allocating its time rationally, not overtraining or resting too much, and even following Lin Chen's advice of eating only eighty percent full.

This went on for two whole weeks before Lin Chen observed the state of the Big White Bear, finally preparing for a second bloodline purification.

This time, the requirement wasn't too high, aiming for a 7% increase by consuming the hidden bloodline entirely.

Lin Chen wasted no time, went back to the Beast Pet Shop, and claimed a bunch of bear fur under the guise of having a collecting hobby.

After several attempts, Lin Chen finally found a suitable one, equating to around 7%.

Holding the red Blood Drop, Lin Chen said to the Big White Bear, "Endure this one last time."

The Big White Bear nodded.

Remembering the pain from last time, it was more like a fate worse than death.

But with pain comes gain, the Big White Bear had witnessed the miracles Lin Chen created and believed.

As Lin Chen said....

It didn't want to die.

Lin Chen also didn't want it to die.

Bring it on!

The Big White Bear closed its eyes, seeming just like Guan Gong having his bones scraped to cure poison.

For the second time, Lin Chen infused the bloodline power.

The next second, familiar pain arose again, the Big White Bear was prepared, yet couldn't conceal its suffering.

However, the pain compared to last time was much better, and after struggling for a while, the Big White Bear finally passed out.

...

Again, two days and nights passed, and when the Big White Bear awoke, it didn't check if it had gotten stronger because Lin Chen told it, now it could only await transformation after the Law Evolution.

Just like a fish leaping over the dragon gate...

If it leaps over, it can become a dragon.

If it doesn't, it remains a salted fish.

On the third day of the Big White Bear's awakening, Lin Chen immediately examined its bloodline:

[Iron Palm Bear]

[Advanced Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Iron Palm Bear 90.8%, Profound Armor Bear 1.332%, Frost Bear 1.8%.....]

[Hidden Bloodline: 0.2%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 2%]

Lin Chen saw this and finally smiled.

He had done everything he could, and now it was time to look forward to the results.

Lin Chen went to the Spirit Academy intending to find Liu Gu, unexpectedly, upon entering, he didn't see Liu Gu but a girl's back.

Lin Chen instinctively wanted to call Bai Ling's name, but upon closer look, it wasn't Bai Ling, the build and temperament didn't match.

Bai Ling, even without seeing the front, just the back could give an ethereal feeling.

"Senior Lin Chen..."

Hearing footsteps, seeing Lin Chen, the girl's eyes lit up.

Lin Chen wasn't surprised she knew him, he could guess she was likely a freshman Liu Gu recruited this year.

Sure enough, the girl came over briskly, greeting respectfully with clasped hands:

"I've met Senior Lin Chen, my name is Yan Lan, and I'm a freshman."

"Hello."

Lin Chen nodded, feeling a bit unaccustomed to this senior title...

Unknowingly, he had become a senior.

No.

Almost a Big Senior now.

Lin Chen reflected on how fast time passed, soon it'd be three years since coming to Spirit Academy, then asked, "Where's the teacher?"

"The teacher is checking my Spirit Beast," Yan Lan replied.

She had an inexplicable sense of admiration for Lin Chen...

It probably wasn't just her; all new students at the Spirit Academy admired Lin Chen.

Though these students were all geniuses, compared to Lin Chen's accomplishments in the Beast Fighting Conference, they seemed dim.

Yan Lan's Path to Immortality evaluation was excellent, reaching the 35th floor on her first attempt.

Along the way, Yan Lan talked incessantly about herself, and what Liu Gu was busy with recently was helping her evolve her second Spirit Beast.

Upon entering, Liu Gu was still busy, seeing Lin Chen, he said, "Why are you here?"

Then looking at Lin Chen's level, he instantly understood.

Lin Chen was now at level twenty, meaning he could contract Xiao Hei.

"Wait a moment." Liu Gu, sharing some understanding with Lin Chen, said.

Lin Chen stood aside, a bit surprised upon seeing Yan Lan's second Spirit Beast.

[Giant Spirit Bear]

[Sacred Beast]

It seemed freshly evolved since it was still at level 20.

"Had I known there were bears here, I would've gathered here..." Lin Chen exhaled, pondering how to collect some bear fur.

After nearly three hours, Liu Gu finished diagnosing the Giant Spirit Bear, finally saying, "Yan Lan, your Spirit Beast's evolution went better than expected, no problems found."

"Really?" Yan Lan's eyes lit up, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, teacher."

Liu Gu nodded gently, saying, "In the coming period, just take it for rehabilitation, no need to be overly fixated on cultivation..."

While Liu Gu spoke, he glanced at Lin Chen.

He never told Lin Chen such words before.

The reason was simple; Lin Chen's three Spirit Beasts were as disciplined as ghosts, needing no additional guidance.

As for Lin Chen, his theoretical knowledge was exhaustively thorough.

Then Liu Gu turned to converse with Lin Chen, confirming Lin Chen's information.

Yan Lan, hearing it, eyes shining, stepped forward saying, "Teacher, Senior, are you preparing to help Senior's third Spirit Beast evolve?"

Liu Gu nodded.

Yan Lan, naturally diligent and obedient, talented too, was quite fond of Liu Gu....

After all, having taken two outrageously extraordinary students, he wanted a regular one.

"Is it the bear going through Law Evolution?" Yan Lan asked further.

Lin Chen's fame had spread such that people in the Spirit Academy knew about his three Spirit Beasts, including the third one preparing for Law Evolution.

Before Liu Gu could nod, Yan Lan looked at Lin Chen, expectantly saying, "Senior, may I see? Just... to see..."

Yan Lan had a genuine interest in Law Evolution, as very few dared to pursue it.

"Sure."

Lin Chen didn't mind; since she was Liu Gu's student, she was also his junior sister.

"Thank you, Senior."

Yan Lan said excitedly, raising her hand, "I'll take care of the cooking and cleaning then."

She indeed ran off to work, while Liu Gu, seeing this, chuckled and said to Lin Chen:

"The herbs I checked; no issues, match the formula."

Then he added, "Law Evolution requires maintaining extremely high temperatures; alone, I'm afraid of accidents, you go invite the dean."
