Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 561 - 353: Bear King Competition

"Pupil Power?"

Lin Chen was surprised.

In the Beast Taming Treasure Manual, pupil power often represents spiritual power.

For example, Xiaobai’s second skill, Soul-Calming Hoof, has an effect of spiritual power attack.

However, as Xiaobai slowly transitions into a martial-type spirit beast, the evolution of Soul-Calming Hoof is also shifting towards explosiveness.

The benefit of Soul-Calming Hoof is that it allows Xiaobai to embark on a path of cultivating spiritual power.

If not, even now, Xiaobai might still be unable to escape the mental erosion of the barbaric bloodline.

"What is this Divine and Demonic Gaze? Can it kill with just a glance?"

Lin Chen imagined the scene, almost drooling.

If that’s really the case, isn’t that way too cool?

Then looking at the text description, it says:

"When the Holy Dawn Beast’s heterochromatic eyes focus on a single target, the gaze will forcibly apply the Divine Demon Law, forming a ’Realm within the Pupil.’

Lin Chen was stunned, wondering what kind of ability this is?

After thinking, he looked at Qin Shaoshao with some embarrassment, only to be seen through by her at a glance. She said, "Go ahead."

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Chen was delighted, quickly signaling Xiaobai to get ready.

This Divine and Demonic Gaze is unlike other skills; it must be tested with a real person to achieve the best effect.

So they went outside the courtyard, and Qin Shaoshao stood still as Xiaobai began to transform.

"Demon Bull Appearance!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Divine Demonic Rampage!"

With the emergence of Xiaobai’s divine and demonic power, the demon bull in the void became more real.

Qin Shaoshao, seeing this scene, felt it was somewhat unreal.

How long has it been, yet Lin Chen has already grown to this level.

In the past, when Qin Shaoshao first helped Lin Chen test, Xiaobai’s attacks on her were negligible.

But now, Qin Shaoshao could feel the oppressive force from Xiaobai.

This is the fearsome nature of divine and demonic power.

"Begin."

Lin Chen instructed Xiaobai to unleash the Divine and Demonic Gaze, and in the next second, Xiaobai immediately directed it at Qin Shaoshao.

In the next second, Qin Shaoshao felt as if she had been pulled into another dimension.

Looking ahead...

A colossal demon bull was staring directly at her.

Qin Shaoshao was shocked—had she been drawn into an alien space?

She widened her eyes and suddenly returned to her original place.

Illusion Realm?

No, this should be real.

While Qin Shaoshao was pondering, Xiaobai let out a bellow, indicating to Lin Chen that it could sense Qin Shaoshao’s location even with closed eyes.

"This ability..."

Lin Chen was somewhat disappointed, as this skill seemed nothing special.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoshao spoke: "Try attacking me."

Xiaobai roared and immediately used the Demon Bull Rushing Kill, unhesitatingly pouncing towards Qin Shaoshao.

Qin Shaoshao teleported from her original position, initially thinking the Demon Bull Rushing Kill had missed, not expecting it to lock onto her and trail after her.

"Auto lock-on?" Lin Chen was surprised, then overjoyed.

This kind of skill is extraordinary.

Now, even against those old veterans with high speed, he wouldn’t have to worry about missing the target.

"Moreover, it also has a spiritual power weakening effect on me, which can be understood as a divine demonic intimidation. I might not feel much because my spiritual power is too strong..." Qin Shaoshao explained.

"I knew Xiaobai wouldn’t awaken a useless skill."

Lin Chen grinned widely.

Now that Xiaobai’s trump cards are strong enough, all that’s left is to refine these skills.

Conversely, if there are skills to assist it in battle, that would be excellent.

This Divine and Demonic Gaze not only has spiritual power attacks but also auto-locks enemies, making it an outstanding skill.

....

Lin Chen then had Xiaobai try an upgraded skill, noticing that Xiaobai’s combat level soared to another tier.

After testing for half a day, Lin Chen was very satisfied with the changes in Xiaobai’s abilities.

"Spirit Beast state is the horn, Sacred Beast state is the eyes—what could the Divine Beast state’s awakening be?" Lin Chen was very content with Xiaobai’s evolution path.

From Xiaobai’s evolution path, its mutation laid the groundwork with Soul-Calming Hoof, leading to the awakening of divine and demonic power.

"Do you think you might one day truly re-enact the true form of the demon bull?" Lin Chen was both expectant and a bit worried.

He was really afraid of the demon bull descending and snatching Xiaobai’s body.

This wasn’t him overthinking.

Divine and demonic power is one of the pinnacle forces in the world, and no one knows what might happen in the future.

After meticulously recording Xiaobai’s ability changes, Lin Chen’s life returned to tranquility.

During this period, Lin Chen actively participated in Jiuxing City’s post-disaster reconstruction and held several meetings, discussing whether Black Mountain City should be merged into Jiuxing City.

Later, this proposal was discarded, and Jiuxing City merged with another smaller city, as Black Mountain City already had its own culture and heritage and didn’t need to be abandoned.

With residents from another city joining, the population of the medium-sized city was sufficient, and after discussion, it was decided that Jiuxing City would be centered around Qin Shaoshao’s Qin Mansion, dividing Jiuxing City into east and west districts: one for the original residents and the other for the newly moved-in residents.

Over more than half a month, the merger conflict in Jiuxing City started to erupt, with many incidents and numerous altercations occurring.

However, both sides approached with problem-solving attitudes, preventing major conflicts from erupting, and the residents from both cities got along better and better.

Lin Chen, as the temporary president of the Monster Hunter Guild, wasn’t idle either, helping the guild establish a complete personnel search process and re-establishing small teams.

"Never thought there’d be a day when you’d personally appoint me as captain."

Huang Xiaotian smiled wryly.

He had once again become the captain of Team 13.

This was actually a sad story because, up to now, all the team captains of Jiuxing City’s monster hunter teams had perished in action, with only Huang Xiaotian surviving.

A month later, the Big White Bear reached level 39, preparing to advance to level 40.

Lin Chen was extremely happy...

Previously, at the Celestial Realm Mountain conference, there were two rewards given.

Because he participated in two platforms, during this period, he was also selecting what materials to use for Big White Bear’s next evolution.

The Big White Bear had once told Lin Chen to reserve the legendary material for Xiaobai’s evolution.

But Lin Chen objected to this.

"I treat them equally..." Lin Chen said: "Whoever breaks through first gets it."

The Big White Bear scratched its head, unsure what to say.

Its original intention was that since Xiaobai was of the highest level, most of the battles were handled by Xiaobai, leaving them with less opportunity to act.

So if Xiaobai could wield the best power, that would be the best plan.

Just when Lin Chen was preparing to write to Dubhe Pavilion about acquiring some materials, Ning Ye brought another message:

"Now that the storm has passed, if you really want some evolution materials, you might as well go to Thunder City and participate in the Bear King Competition."

"I hear that this year’s Bear King Competition has extraordinary rewards, not just top-grade materials, but there might also be a Beast Taming Divine Art."
