CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER 81: ULTIMATE VIOLENCE: MAD BULL BLOODLINE

Moo!

It let out a cry towards the sky, and the next second, its eyes turned blood-red...

"Eek!"

The timid Little Fox was scared by this scene, trembling.

After Xiaobai’s eyes turned red, its body also turned a slight shade of red, and it seemed to be enveloped in a faint glow.

Moo!!

With a second angry roar, Xiaobai saw Lin Chen and Young Master Qin in the distance, and its gaze suddenly turned unfriendly.

"Xiaobai, wake up..." Lin Chen quickly used mind communication.

But it was completely useless.

The Mad Bull Bloodline is no joke.

Lin Chen called out continuously, but there was no response at all.

Moo!!!

Following, Xiaobai let out a third cow cry, echoing across the horizon, only to see a puff of smoke emerge from its nostrils, and then it suddenly activated its skill:

Iron Horn Impact!

It was a shock upon looking.

In this state, Xiaobai could initiate Four Bulls in One Breath as it charged straight at Lin Chen and the others.

At this moment, it had completely lost its reason.

All it knew was...

Attack.

Attack.

Still attack.

Seeing Xiaobai getting closer and closer, the Little Fox quickly closed its eyes, as the Xiaobai in its heart was not like this.

Lin Chen wasn’t worried, Young Master Qin was here.

Indeed, when Xiaobai was just five meters from Young Master Qin, without raising his hand, Young Master Qin simply shouted coldly:

"Stop!"

Xiaobai, who was running at high speed, collapsed in response and then fainted.

...

"Xiaobai..."

"Wake up."

Lin Chen gently patted Xiaobai’s cow head.

After a while, Xiaobai opened its eyes, looked at Lin Chen in a daze, and then mooed, asking what had happened.

"You don’t remember?" Lin Chen asked.

Xiaobai thought for a moment and suddenly remembered.

It had just been attacking Lin Chen and Xiao Hong.

At this moment, its gaze was filled with fear, panic, and unease.

Lin Chen and Xiao Hong were its family; how could it attack them?

"Did you know it was us at the time?" Lin Chen asked.

Xiaobai remained silent.

"Family should speak honestly," Lin Chen said again.

Only then did Xiaobai emit a cow cry, telling Lin Chen it could indeed recognize Lin Chen at the time.

But it felt as if its body was being controlled by someone and was unable to stop it.

Finally, Xiaobai lowered its head and told Lin Chen it didn’t want to use that skill anymore.

Lin Chen comforted it, knowing it had a psychological shadow.

"Alright, then let’s not practice it for now," Lin Chen said, feeling sympathetic.

Just then, Young Master Qin suddenly spoke: "It’s not hopeless."

One person and two beasts looked up, filled with joy.

Needless to say, Lin Chen...

A master is truly a master.

What I’ve been waiting for is your sentence.

...

"...Simply put, cattle have always had low spiritual power, so they cannot control the power of this bloodline within them."

Young Master Qin spoke, revealing the core of the issue in one sentence.

Lin Chen had also read books.

Someone had analyzed this skill, or rather the enhancement skills of the Bloodline Class, positing that these skills forcibly activate the hidden ancestral traits within, awakening their power.

If it’s just ordinary strength, that’s fine.

At the level of the Barbaric Bloodline, it’s absurdly strong, which means an excessive throwback that the Spirit Beast can’t handle, ultimately losing intelligence.

"You mean enhancing spiritual power?" Lin Chen asked.

Young Master Qin nodded.

Lin Chen sighed.

Asking a Spirit Beast not adept in the spiritual system to cultivate spiritual power is indeed too difficult.

"You need to maintain sitting still every day, but don’t enter meditation. Instead, empty your mind; the cultivation of spiritual power doesn’t come just from hard work, it requires enlightenment," Young Master Qin advised, being an absolute expert in this field.

Simply put, it’s something you comprehend through intuition, not words, and outsiders can’t help much.

After speaking, Young Master Qin told Lin Chen that for the next two days before departure, Xiaobai could maintain sitting still daily, and use this skill more each day, while she could help stop it.

"Thank you, predecessor."

Lin Chen felt grateful, Young Master Qin indeed helped greatly.

In the evening, after some brainwashing by Lin Chen, Xiaobai finally regained its confidence.

"Xiaobai, you can definitely do it."

"Moo!!"

Invigorated, Xiaobai began to train hard and consistently meditated.

On the second and third day, Xiaobai tried again.

But, it had no effect at all.

On the fourth day, Lin Chen packed up briefly, ready to head to the Inner Courtyard.

Arriving at the guild meeting point, he saw Cai Yuanji and the others. Lee Zhen was busy elsewhere, so his assistant was sending them over.

Sitting on the Gale Beast, Cai Yuanji, feeling apprehensive, said, "What do you think, since we took the first place from that group, will they retaliate against us?"

"No need to worry about that," the assistant replied, "Inner Courtyard prohibits internal conflicts unless you agree, and this time entering the Small Secret Realm, you’ll be with second-year students, not first-year ones."

"That’s reassuring," Cai Yuanji relaxed.

"By the way, your teammate Ning Zimo’s brother, Ning Tian, will likely go with you. He’s the top of last year’s Hundred Stars Chart," the assistant continued.

"It won’t matter; Ning Zimo and Ning Tian probably don’t get along well," Cai Yuanji shook his head and saw Lin Chen silent, he asked, "Lin Chen, are you afraid too?"

"Uh..."

Hearing his name, Lin Chen snapped back to reality, feeling a bit puzzled.

He was just thinking that the people in the Inner Courtyard are usually quite wealthy, and their Spirit Beasts must have good bloodlines.

With Xiaobai’s third bloodline purification approaching, Lin Chen really wanted to find a better one.

...

"Dean Tang, Chairman Lee is busy today, so he asked me to send his regards," the assistant cupped his hands, pointed to Lin Chen and the others, and said, "I’ll leave them to you."

"Rest assured."

Tang Xuehai was also polite.

The assistant gave some final instructions to Lin Chen and the others, then left.

Tang Xuehai waved his hand, signaling them to follow.

It was Lin Chen’s first time experiencing the Inner Courtyard, which could only be described as extremely luxurious. Three main buildings formed a "pin" shape at the center of the academy, the gallery bridge was pieced together with millennia-old lightning-struck peach wood, and all around were costly Spirit Grass and Spirit Trees...

Xiaobai swallowed its saliva upon seeing them, as it had never tasted these Spirit Grass due to their high price.

In front of the main entrance stood a nine-zhang-high Purple Crystal Wall, which displayed the Hundred Stars Chart.

"Look, Lee Zaiqing’s name..." Qin Hao looked up.

Lin Chen also saw it, the first place was empty, the second was Lee Zaiqing.

Nobody asked much, Tang Xuehai handed them over to a mentor and left without saying much.

As for the mentor, his attitude was acceptable, taking them to their living quarters, he said, "Do you want a triple or a single room?"

"Of course, a single room," Cai Yuanji immediately replied.

Three people sharing would be a bit cramped, especially with Spirit Beasts.

"A triple room is a hundred altogether, and a single room is a hundred per person..."

They charge money too?

The three were stunned, Cai Yuanji asked, "Is that per month?"

"Per day."

"..."

The three fell silent.

No wonder everyone says the Inner Courtyard is a bottomless pit, even the dormitories cost money, ordinary people really can’t afford it.

This is the unfairness of this world.

Those with money and power can find better Spirit Beasts and start off ahead.

Then they can access the best resources, gaining a second advantage.

As for ordinary people, though they can become Beastmasters and rely on evolution to catch up,

the costs along the way are steep. Frankly, even if you have Talent, you might not have the money to complete the evolution.

Lin Chen checked out the environment and ended up getting a single room.

It wasn’t that Lin Chen was frivolous with money, but Xiaobai has a cleanliness phobia...

Everyone knows that Qin Hao’s Panlin Python doesn’t like bathing.

"So it’s my fault, eh?" Qin Hao gritted his teeth, as the Panlin Python flicked its tongue.

Lin Chen took a single room, while the other two took a triple room, as it was spacious enough.

Upon entering the dorm, Xiaobai patrolled everywhere for unclean corners, then started a thorough cleaning, ensuring the beddings were all neatly made.

"Moo!!!"

Though Xiaobai was sweaty from exhaustion, it let out a comfortable moo.

Just as Lin Chen finished tidying up and came to Qin Hao’s dorm next door, he heard someone outside shouting:

"You three newcomers, hurry out."

Hearing this, Qin Hao was taken aback and said, "The villains have arrived so quickly?"

"...."

Naturally, the three of them didn’t plan to go out, Cai Yuanji said, "Is it Ye Yun and the others?"

Soon, they saw the figures of those speaking, but they were older than them and naturally unfamiliar.

"We didn’t provoke them, did we?" Qin Hao said.

Suddenly, Cai Yuanji, the clever one, figured it out and said:

"One of them is likely someone with a brother here, like Ning Zimo."

"When the younger can’t beat, they call the elder."

"I’m familiar with this storyline."

"...."
