Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

He was eagerly anticipating the return of those two little fellows because he had leveled up twice.

Now, he had reached Level 22.

Heaven knows how many levels they had gained.

...

Celestial Capital

National Master's Institute

Bai Ling walked slowly into the courtyard and respectfully said to Zhong Nan, who was behind the screen:

"Teacher, did you need me for something?"

"Come in." Zhong Nan's voice came through. Bai Ling walked in and saw Zhang Jin was there as well.

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Bai Ling respected Zhang Jin very much because during her time at the National Master's Institute, Zhang Jin had taken great care of her.

Zhang Jin nodded, and Zhong Nan said:

"Bai Ling, do you remember the Beast Fighting Conference that Lin Chen won before?"

"Of course, I remember."

"Celestial Beast Island is about to open. This time, you'll go with your Senior Brother Zhang Jin."

"Yes, Teacher."

Bai Ling nodded, though she felt a bit strange.

This news was something Zhang Jin had told them before; not only was she going, but people like Gu Ning were also going together.

While she was puzzled, Zhong Nan produced a piece of paper, handed it to Bai Ling, and said, "Here is a precise coordinate, and within there are Spirit Eggs with Spirit Dragon bloodline..."

Bai Ling was taken aback; she realized they were giving her special treatment.

At that moment, she heard Zhong Nan say, "I've given you the landmark, but whether you can obtain it ultimately depends on yourself. Your Senior Brother won't help you; this time the Celestial Capital has decided on fair competition."

"Yes, Teacher."

Bai Ling accepted it and then left.

After she walked far away, Zhang Jin said, "Teacher, why didn't you mention that Lin Chen would also be going?"

"If there's fate, they will meet each other," Zhong Nan replied. "Celestial Beast Island is so vast; it's hard to say if they'll encounter each other."

....

That night, Lin Chen lay in bed, feeling somewhat unaccustomed, because usually, this bed was crowded with cows, bears, and foxes.

But now, not one was there.

Since the Big White Bear evolved, it got obsessed with cultivation, either soaking in the Spirit Spring or practicing skills, with irregular routines.

So, he often slept alone.

Just when he was drowsily about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt an itch on his nose. He rubbed his nose, turned over, and just as he was about to go back to sleep, he heard a "coo" sound.

Lin Chen was startled awake, his eyes wide open, seeing the Little Fox's big eyes.

"Xiao... Xiao Hong?!" Lin Chen was a bit dazed.

"Coo~~"

The Little Fox showed its iconic crescent smile and jumped into Lin Chen's arms.

Lin Chen immediately patted its head and said, "You little guy, I've missed you to death."

"Coo coo~~~"

The Little Fox told Lin Chen it missed him very much too.

While Lin Chen immersed himself in the joy of reunion, he suddenly noticed something...

The Little Fox was Level 31 now.

When the Little Fox left, it was at Level 27; now it had jumped four levels.

"Did the Great Elder give you steroids?" Lin Chen was extremely surprised.

The Little Fox shook its head, telling Lin Chen that while at the Great Elder's place, it was soaking continuously in a fiery world, so it leveled up quickly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen thought to himself that the Spirit Academy really had an incredible number of good places.

Lin Chen looked outside the door, finding that Xiaobai hadn't returned. He didn't show disappointment but asked, "Hungry?"

"Coo!"

The Little Fox nodded, clutching its empty belly.

During this period, it had indeed become stronger but also thinner.

"Come on, let's find the Big White Bear and have a good meal." Lin Chen picked it up and placed it on his shoulder, then headed towards the Spirit Spring.

Soon he found the Big White Bear, as it was on its way back, too. Seeing the Little Fox on Lin Chen's shoulder, it immediately cracked a bear smile and ran up happily.

The Little Fox leapt directly onto the Big White Bear's shoulder.

Then the fox and the bear chatted, discussing the recent happenings.

Late at night, they enjoyed a hearty meal.

During the meal, Lin Chen surprisingly asked, "Xiao Hei, you're at Level 22 now?"

The Big White Bear nodded.

This time it came back to tell Lin Chen this news.

Lin Chen glanced at the Little Fox and said, "Perfect, let's test it out together later."

"Coo~~"

The Little Fox chirped excitedly, eager to show Lin Chen the results of its cultivation.

Without further ado, the person and the two beasts skillfully set up stakes on the ground. Lin Chen looked at the Little Fox and said, "You go first."

Understanding, the Little Fox looked at the Big White Bear, which "roared" reassuringly, letting the Little Fox not worry about these things.

The Little Fox nodded and was the first to step forward.

Then the Little Fox roared, instantly transforming into a Five-Tailed Flame Fox.

Lin Chen glanced around, noticing that its appearance hadn't changed much, then he said:

"Come, show off the Great Elder's training results."

As he spoke, the Little Fox immediately started running. Lin Chen didn't speak further, and just quietly watched with the "Little Fox Evolution Diary" in hand, soon witnessing an impressive operation.

As the Little Fox ran, its tail swished, and flames wrapped around it. Soon those flames fused together.

A Super Flame Bomb was completed in an instant!

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's mouth cracked into a smile, while the Big White Bear, unable to discern any change, frowned...

"Didn't you notice?" Lin Chen told it, "Previously, Xiao Hong could only cast from a standstill, now she can gather while running."

The Big White Bear finally understood the difference.

Before, Xiao Hong was a stationary mage, but now Xiao Hong is a moving bombard mage.

Though the Little Fox didn't have a speed-up skill, a mage that can maneuver while casting is much more terrifying.

The Little Fox rejoiced when Lin Chen immediately comprehended it and smiled. It then stopped, and Lin Chen asked:

"Can you use Heart-Burning Fire Control while running?"

The Little Fox nodded, surprising Lin Chen.

To fuse a Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb requires precise fire control calculations, where even the slightest error could lead to an immediate explosion.

Earlier, when the Little Fox fused them, it didn't dare to move at all.

This time, as the Little Fox ran swiftly, indeed, its tail turned to pure gold. A Super Fireball and Flaming Storm emerged almost simultaneously.

Yet, the Little Fox's movement didn't stop; after nearly five seconds of running, a True Fire Nuclear Bomb was successfully formed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The power certainly hasn't increased much, but in terms of combat capability, this is a qualitative change.

A Little Fox capable of casting spells while moving is far stronger compared to a stationary mage.

The Little Fox also told Lin Chen that the reason for staying so long with the Great Elder was to practice this skill.

"It would be worth staying another half-year if this skill is mastered," Lin Chen happily said.

The Great Elder really helped him solve a big problem.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Chen asked.

The Little Fox shook its head, so Lin Chen said, "Come over here; take a look at Xiao Hei's power for future cooperation."

The Little Fox nodded.

Lin Chen mentioned that in future fights, the Big White Bear and Niu Niu will fight upfront, while it will provide support from the back.

So, Xiaobai could not know the Big White Bear's abilities, but the Little Fox must.

As they spoke, the Big White Bear eagerly thrust its head forward, letting Lin Chen observe its new skills.

[Eight Desolates Battle Bear]

[Level: 22]

[Divine Enlightenment: Combat Law]

[Law Level: Level 1]

[Law Body: War Spirit Bear Body]

[Passive Skill: Battle Will Perception]

[Skill 1: Bear Paw Unity (Entry-Level)]

[Skill 2: Folding Phantom Step (Entry-Level)]

As Lin Chen read up to this point, he became more focused.

Then he finally saw the Big White Bear's Skill 3 appear:

[Skill 3: Battle Spirit Condensed Blade, consuming enormous energy, temporarily acquiring the original weapon of the Eight Desolates Battle Bear]

"?"

Lin Chen thought he saw it wrong.

Zhu Tong mentioned before about a monkey wielding a stick being incredibly formidable; could it be that the Big White Bear's evolution path is exactly as Zhu Tong said?

Many Spirit Beasts can wield weapons, so some are called swordsmen or saber wielders.

Lin Chen wondered, what would the original weapon of the Eight Desolates Battle Bear be?

"Roar!"

The Big White Bear hung its head low, asking if its skill seemed inadequate.

Lin Chen shook his head, first offering reassurance.

Given the strength of the Combat Law's ability, the original weapon of the Eight Desolates Battle Bear shouldn't be lacking.

"Let's try it first." Lin Chen was still full of confidence in the Big White Bear.
