Chapter 193: Chapter 138: Fourth Skill: Eternal Damnation Demon Horn_2
Lin Chen was not just trying to make Xiaobai happy; he genuinely felt this way.
Xiaobai’s Thousand Shadows Unification was already abnormal; it’s currently its best finishing skill.
Moreover, it can continue to improve.
Although the power of Soul-Calming Hoof has increased a lot, after Xiaobai mastered Thousand Shadows Unification, Soul-Calming Hoof can only serve as a supporting effect.
Now, with another breakthrough on Xiaobai’s horns, under the influence of Barbaric Bloodline and Eternal Damnation Demon Horn, Thousand Shadows Unification can only become even more abnormal.
"Looks like it’s preparing to walk further down the path of explosive power..." Lin Chen was speechless.
Ox-Type Spirit Beasts, due to their resilience, are mostly skilled in prolonged battles. Like Li Jiuxiao’s Bone Armor Bull, if you give it enough time, it can wear you out to death.
But Xiaobai, every skill seems to be in service of Iron Horn Impact.
This somewhat defies the Celestial Spirits...
Many Spirit Beasts, upon cultivating to an advanced level, find that their basic skills become insignificant or too weak, turning into minor skills that aren’t usable in late-stage battles.
Xiaobai’s basic skills, on the other hand, are becoming more and more abnormal, turning into deadly moves comparable to a major attack.
"I just wonder what its evolution effect will be." Lin Chen was a bit expectant; after all, Kui Spirit Beast is a new species, and many things are worth documenting.
However, Lin Chen was quite satisfied with Xiaobai’s skill.
Once its horns became "sharp," they could defeat more enemies with a single strike.
But it also left a shortcoming, which is that it’s not good in prolonged battles.
"Come, test out the combined skill." Lin Chen spoke, while thinking of something.
Although in Beast Taming World, enhancing skills aren’t classified as combined skills, if Xiaobai activates Barbaric Bloodline, then triggers the Divine Pattern effect of the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn, and finally strikes with Iron Horn Impact + Soul-Calming Hoof, wouldn’t this be a four-skill combined technique?
Lin Chen thought of this and couldn’t help but sweat, looking at Xiaobai’s not-so-large figure, wondering if Xiaobai could withstand such an instantaneous burst?
...
The result was indeed as Lin Chen expected; Xiaobai, in its ordinary state, opening the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn, could barely use the combination of the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn and Thousand Shadows Unification, but already lacked the energy to use Soul-Calming Hoof.
"Try activating Barbaric Bloodline." Lin Chen was not surprised.
Now it seems that the uniqueness of Kui Spirit Beast lies in this pair of horns. Once activated, it’s equivalent to triggering the Kui Spirit Beast’s abilities, so the consumption is inevitably large.
Afterwards, Xiaobai began to perform the first stage of the Barbaric Bloodline.
The result was that Xiaobai could barely strike with the activated state of the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn’s Soul-Calming Hoof + Thousand Shadows Unification.
However, the unification of the residual shadows of Thousand Shadows Unification was only twelve.
Immediately after, Xiaobai activated the tier two Barbaric Bloodline.
This time, the unification of the residual shadows of Thousand Shadows Unification had thirteen.
But there was still a gap to the peak of fourteen.
"It seems that only with tier three Barbaric Bloodline can it be perfect." Lin Chen said.
Xiaobai mooed with its horn, asking whether to try it.
Lin Chen and Little Fox were immediately shocked and repeatedly said no.
Now that Qin Shaoshao was not around, the person and fox were very anxious...
Even though he had the Stop Technique in hand, Lin Chen also felt it was somewhat unsafe.
Moreover, the current data was enough to support Lin Chen’s guess. As for the fully loaded version of the combined skill, let it be tried by the next unlucky one.
On the contrary, Xiao Hei was a bit puzzled. Why were Lin Chen and Xiao Hong so scared when Xiaobai was so gentle?
Scratching its bear head, Lin Chen closed the "Cow Evolution Diary," and said, "Alright, that’s a wrap."
Immediately, Xiaobai plopped down and began to rest, Little Fox went to cook, and Big White Bear was picking up broken wood stumps from the ground.
In the evening, the person and three beasts had a big feast. Lin Chen went to the food store in the Spirit Academy and found that the stuff here was really good and cheap; for instance, Blue Spirit Grass was nearly half the price compared to back in Jiuxing City.
Lin Chen even wondered if growing grass would result in a loss...
Nevertheless, the land still needs to be planted.
For some reason, if he did not plant something, he always felt something was missing.
...
Xiaobai completed the upgrade, and as usual, Lin Chen was going to let it train a bit.
However, now it was Lin Chen’s turn to select opponents.
In the previous two ranking matches, Xiaobai was not able to enjoy itself, unable to display its full cow power.
This time with new skills after the upgrade, it definitely needed to show its strength.
So, Lin Chen went to find Zhao Li, the reporter from Spirit Academy, to get some "information."
Zhao Li’s training style was different from Lin Chen’s; he seemed more focused on the ranking matches, not having much intention toward soaring up the ladder, so playing three to four matches a month was a common thing.
"You asked the right person." Zhao Li said confidently, "What type are you looking for?"
"Preferably a bit of a challenge, with high defense."
"High defense?" Zhao Li thought for a moment, then asked back, "Is any level of defense okay?"
Lin Chen nodded.
Winning or losing didn’t matter; mainly, it needed to be a punching bag and also let Xiaobai enjoy itself.
"There is actually one, except...." Zhao Li began to laugh as he said, "Among the formally admitted disciples, there is one who has broken through forty levels, whose spirit beast is an old turtle."
"What turtle?"
"Armored Turtle."
"...."
After hearing that, Lin Chen was speechless.
This is a turtle-type spirit beast that potentially has the chance to evolve into the Black Tortoise bloodline, and the most outrageous part is that most of its skills are defensive.
Normally, very few people would contract with such a spirit beast.
But until someone discovered a way to use it, which is the devouring technique.
