Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 569 - 361: The Upheaval in Thunder City

"Bait the spot?"

The crowd was dumbfounded. Although it seemed a bit insulting, it somehow perfectly matched Lin Chen’s behavior.

It just sounded like bullying.

Is he treating his opponent like fish?

Lin Chen wasn’t greedy. After catching five fish, he didn’t linger but chose to leave the place. Meanwhile, he had collected eight thousand Lightning Flowers.

The audience’s attention shifted elsewhere, where they observed the pre-competition favorites making their mark in the first wave.

For instance, Xu Yi’s count surpassed Lin Chen’s, reaching twelve thousand. Similarly, Liu Zhou and Chen Bai’s counts were about eight thousand each. Besides them, several others had numbers comparable to Lin Chen’s.

"It seems some trends are emerging."

"No, the second round will be the most intense competition."

"That’s right. Everyone understands the first round, and in the second round, everyone will inevitably guard against each other."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, feeling that the competition was gradually becoming more thrilling.

....

Meanwhile, Jack and Bruce at the Thunder Emperor’s mansion were still hesitating about going inside.

Jack was very wary of potential dangers inside, but Bruce was different. His Spirit Beast was inside, and he could see the situation clearly.

"It’s fine, Jack, there’s no danger," Bruce continued to persuade. "Besides, we’ll grab what we need and leave immediately, it won’t be dangerous."

Jack was tempted. This was Blue Yoocao after all, with which he could achieve financial freedom.

"Alright, let’s go for it." Jack clenched his fist.

Bruce laughed, saying, "You don’t need to be so tense. I told you, there’s no danger inside; just follow my lead closely."

Jack nodded.

Since this was a forbidden area within the city, they needed to retrieve what they came for as soon as possible.

At this point, Bruce had already summoned his Spirit Beast, and the two of them dove underwater.

Jack held his breath, expecting the black water to be foul-smelling. Yet, as he plunged in, he was captivated by the scenery inside.

"Beautiful, isn’t it, Jack?"

Both of them were high-level Beastmasters, so talking underwater posed no problem.

Jack nodded, finding the surrounding world unreal. Was this really underwater?

The ground wasn’t just covered in plants; there were also fish, like a meticulously carved world.

"This way." Bruce was eager to get the Blue Yoocao, motioning for Jack to stay close.

Jack snapped back to reality, recalling they were there not for sightseeing but for the Blue Yoocao.

They followed the Spirit Beast quickly and soon saw the blue glow illuminating the water.

"The color is so beautiful..."

"I wasn’t lying, Jack, there really is Blue Yoocao here."

"But why would Blue Yoocao appear in a place like this?"

"Who cares? Now it’s ours."

As they spoke, the two of them accelerated, swimming toward the spot where the blue light shone the brightest.

After swimming for about ten minutes, they finally saw a blue grass standing upright on the seabed. It sparkled, like a lotus flower unstained from the mud.

The two wore expressions of ecstasy, eagerly approaching with breathless excitement.

"It’s Blue Yoocao, it really is Blue Yoocao, we’ve hit the jackpot."

"Hahaha, right, with this we can upgrade to better Spirit Beasts and choose more optimal evolution paths."

Excited about the future, the two couldn’t contain their joy.

They discussed it for a while and finally decided to use brute force to uproot the Blue Yoocao along with its soil.

"I’ll have my Spirit Beast release bubbles to protect the soil, so it doesn’t scatter," Bruce added.

"Alright." Jack remained vigilant, scanning the surroundings, saying, "Let’s take it and leave immediately."

Bruce nodded.

He understood deeply that greed leads to a bad end.

Then Bruce took action, plunging his hand beneath the Blue Yoocao to uproot it from its base.

"Quick, have your Spirit Beast release bubbles," Jack said.

To his surprise, Bruce kept holding onto the Blue Yoocao.

"Bruce, did you hear me?" Jack jerked Bruce slightly.

At that moment, Bruce turned, and Jack was startled to see blue light emanating from Bruce’s pupils.

"Bruce, Bruce, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare..."

Just as Jack was about to speak, he saw Bruce summoning his Spirit Beast, attacking him.

"No..."

Jack hurriedly summoned his Spirit Beast, but it wasn’t adept at fighting underwater. Helplessly, he watched as Bruce’s Spirit Beast’s hand pierced through his heart.

His red blood swiftly spread through the water; his pupils widened, he looked at Bruce in disbelief.

The next moment was enough to make his skin crawl. He saw Bruce lunge at him like a demon possessed, seemingly wanting to devour him.

He shuddered all over, and this became the last scene he saw in the human world.

He was gone!

In the moment before his death, he suddenly understood.

If there really was Blue Yoocao here, how could it have been his turn?

Just, what exactly was this place?

Then, after killing Jack, Bruce suddenly roared toward the sky, causing the entire body of water to swirl violently. His entire body transformed rapidly, eventually becoming a skeleton wreathed in blue fire.

It wielded a scythe, swinging it forward, as within the water, a bronze door appeared.

Just as the scythe was about to strike the bronze door, a figure emerged from the void.

As the figure became clearer, it could be seen as a bear.

This bear was extremely terrifying. When it appeared, electricity flashed around it. Though it looked dopey on the surface, the aura it exuded was extremely menacing.

With one hand, it caught the Puppet’s scythe, glanced at the bronze door, and then extended its bear claw. Instantly, the nearby water transformed into thousands of lightning bolts, like dragons plunging toward the blue skeleton.

"Tribulation Immortal, you’re still alive!"

"Why are you still alive?"

The skeleton could speak, roaring as it transformed into a colossal entity.

Its true form was terrifying: a monstrous Demon Beast skeleton standing several hundred meters tall.

Yet, the blue bear remained unafraid, erupting with boundless divine lightning. Its body rapidly enlarged, surrounded by apocalyptic thunder, birthing a primordial and majestic aura.

.....

"I wonder when the next lightning will strike."

At this moment, more and more people gathered at the conference, everyone discussing when the second round of lightning would arrive.

Just then, the sky above Thunder City became densely covered with dark clouds.

"Hey, it’s not raining inside yet; it seems we’re going to get rain first."

"Haha."

The crowd laughed, but at this moment, Xu Pingzhi, who was on stage, glanced up at the sky and then toward the city center, suddenly leaping up.

The two other Patriarchs beside him also rose with him, and Qin Shaoshao, who had been seated silently on the VIP stand, opened her eyes.

"This is bad, it seems to be in the city center," Liu Jin’s pupils contracted sharply, filled with anxiety.

"Let’s go."

Xu Pingzhi immediately summoned his Spirit Beast and quickly headed over, leaving the crowd in stunned discussion, unsure of what had happened.
