Yu Xiu and Zhang Jin also looked at Xiaobai, wondering how many more surprises Lin Chen's Spirit Beast would bring to them.

Lin Chen was also stunned. Although he hadn't seen Xiaobai's skill changes, his previous research had already concluded...

Xiaobai's Demon Bull Appearance should have broken through to the Mastery level.

In shock, the Demon Bull, which had broken free from its shackles, exuded a chilling black aura, as if countless Resentful Spirits were swirling around it.

Its body, already massive as a mountain, swelled even more at this moment, with muscles bulging like steel, and its twin horns gleaming with a cold light like two sharp blades, appearing especially sinister under the sunlight.

The four hooves of the Demon Bull stomped heavily on the ground, causing it to crack instantly, with dust rising.

Using the momentum of its unfinished charge, it leaped towards the White Flood Dragon Beast like a Demon Lord returning from hell, with unstoppable momentum.

The virtual image of the Spirit Dragon was at its peak at this moment, emitting a dazzling brilliance, yet under the overwhelming attack of the Demon Bull, the Spirit Dragon virtual image began to tremble violently. Cracks rapidly spread out, and ultimately it collapsed like a bubble, disappearing without a trace into scattered starlight.

The Demon Bull continued to lunge forward, its massive body tracing a terrifying arc in the air as it stepped towards the White Flood Dragon Beast.

This scene also caused Gu Ning and the White Flood Dragon Beast, who had been immersed in the joy of victory just moments before, to have their pupils contract, and a sense of unprecedented unwillingness and fear surged in their hearts.

Lost?

They lost?

Even with the support of the Second Level Dragon Fighting Skill, they still lost?

Gu Ning's heart was full of unwillingness. Along his journey, Gu Ning had never met a rival, and he had never thought he would lose today.

However, unlike Li Bei, he realized that the oppressive force of the Demon Bull Appearance would inevitably continue to sweep over the White Flood Dragon Beast, so he hesitated not a bit and shouted:

"I lost!"

Almost in an instant, Zhang Jin controlled the Spirit Dragon to step into the air, stopping the Demon Bull's advance.

His appearance also caused Gu Ning's expression to instantly become dull and colorless.

...

Lin Chen, seeing Gu Ning's decisiveness, couldn't help but have a bit more appreciation for him.

With such wit and with the Gu Family as his backing, if he didn't stray onto the wrong path, he would definitely grow to a formidable height in the future.

Suddenly, Zhang Jin glanced at Lin Chen and Xiaobai and couldn't help but sigh to himself. Even Gu Ning couldn't shake it; among the peers of Cangling Ancient Country, who could still defeat them?

Regaining his composure, Zhang Jin then spoke, "The battle is settled, Gu Ning, come with me."

Gu Ning retracted his Spirit Beast and remained silent.

Zhang Jin didn't say much either, but Lin Chen asked, "Sir, is there really a fairy-grade Spirit Egg on this mountaintop?"

"You've already won the qualification, why not go and see for yourself?"

Zhang Jin knew Lin Chen was trying to gather information, but he wasn't fooled and left after saying this.

After walking some distance, Gu Ning finally spoke, "Have I already lost my qualification to be a National Preceptor?"

Zhang Jin could tell Gu Ning was very scared.

If Gu Ning lost his competition qualification, he might be abandoned by the Gu Family.

He was not originally a main family member. Now, achieving such a status was entirely because he is considered a child of fortune and a strong contender for the future National Preceptor position.

"You lost to Lin Chen, not someone from the National Master's Institute." Zhang Jin said, "Moreover, neither the teacher nor I have ever said that the battle on Celestial Beast Island is a battle for National Preceptor qualification."

Gu Ning was taken aback.

"And you needn't worry, whether you succeed or not, you'll be part of the National Master's Institute." Zhang Jin said, "As long as you're in the National Master's Institute, there will always be someone to protect you."

Zhang Jin said this, also to encourage Gu Ning.

After all, they couldn't do without them in the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities plan.

Hearing this, Gu Ning's hope reignited...

If he could secure the position of National Preceptor and obtain the Dragon Transformation Skill, Lin Chen in the future would surely not be his match.

....

Seeing the two walk away, Lin Chen and Bai Ling also showed joy, and Bai Ling took the Spirit Beast to celebrate for Xiaobai, while Lin Chen found a sample of Gu Ning's White Flood Dragon Beast on the ground.

[Hidden Bloodline: 40%]

Lin Chen was incredibly surprised. The power of this bloodline was terrifying indeed, no wonder this battle was so tough.

After storing it in a vial, Lin Chen walked towards Xiaobai, caressing its bull head, and said to it, "How did you break through this time?"

"Moo~~"

Xiaobai told Lin Chen that it didn't know either, but it had one thought—it didn't want to lose, otherwise there'd be no egg.

After listening, Lin Chen laughed heartily, and after checking Xiaobai's information, it truly had broken through.

[Kui Spirit Beast]

[Level: 37]

[Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 2: Soul-Calming Hoof (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 3: Barbaric Bloodline (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 4: Eternal Damnation Demon Horn (Perfection)]

[Skill 5: Demon Bull Appearance (Mastery)]

This Mastery-level Demon Bull Appearance has unlocked four chains, truly terrifying.

If Xiaobai hadn't broken through on the spot, facing the White Flood Dragon Beast enhanced by Dragon Fighting Skill, Xiaobai might not have been able to win.

"If only I could have some kind of bullfighting skill too..." Lin Chen thought longingly, and then sighed, feeling he was being overly greedy.

This Bloodline Golden Hand is already against the heavens, and if it could also strengthen Beast Taming, that would certainly be a bit unfair.

Putting away this thought, he let Xiaobai sit down to rest. This place was where the Spirit Egg was, so there was bound to be another fierce battle, it was unavoidable.

Just like Zhang Jin said, defeating Gu Ning only granted the qualification to enter the mountaintop, it didn't mean he already obtained the Spirit Egg.
