Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

"Moo!"

A cow’s bellow echoed, and Lin Chen opened his eyes, seeing a glowing calf.

Lin Chen observed his surroundings and couldn’t help but smile.

This must be Xiaobai’s spiritual home.

Tree Ancestor once explained to him that every person and beast has their own spirit world; some can be vast, as large as a whole world.

Some might be small.

Some may even remain forever trapped in darkness.

And Xiaobai’s is...

A cozy and clean cow’s nest.

Exactly.

This cow’s nest is very clean.

Seeing Lin Chen’s arrival, Xiaobai couldn’t wait to step forward to greet him, but suddenly the sky turned dark. Lin Chen looked up and saw a pair of deep red eyes.

"Demon Bull!"

Lin Chen knew this was the Demon Bull that bestowed Xiaobai with the Divine and Demonic Power.

He spoke, "Elder, I mean no harm, I just want to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a chain appeared in the void and shot straight toward him.

Xiaobai, thinking the Demon Bull intended to harm Lin Chen, stepped forward angrily.

Unexpectedly, the chain in the void stopped mid-air without any intent to attack.

"Do you mean for me to break it?" Lin Chen asked.

A sense of mockery came from the Demon Bull’s pupils.

Lin Chen was not convinced, thinking he was being underestimated—after all, it’s just a chain.

He stepped forward, intending to lift it, only to find that something was wrong. The chain was terrifyingly heavy; no matter how much strength Lin Chen used, he couldn’t lift it.

"You’re usually bound by this shackle, it must be tough...."

Lin Chen’s pupils contracted as he began to play the sympathy card.

However, the Demon Bull didn’t even blink, still looking at Lin Chen mockingly, as if to say:

This bull won’t fall for your tricks.

Lin Chen got annoyed, saying, "Fine, I’ll make you regret it."

.....

"Huff, huff, huff~~~~"

"Oh no, I can’t do it."

"Mama, what is this chain made of?"

Lin Chen was panting heavily, unwillingly looking at the Demon Bull, while Xiaobai wanted to step forward and help but couldn’t touch the chain at all.

The only one who could even touch the chain was Lin Chen.

Lin Chen also noticed that every time he exerted effort, his shadow became much fainter.

So now, he was quite blurry, like a mosaic to Xiaobai.

"Forget it, I’ll come back next time. I’ll think of a way." Lin Chen said.

Xiaobai nodded.

Lin Chen stealthily looked at Xiaobai and whispered, "While I’m away, negotiate with this guy, don’t be stubborn like a bull. It’s time for some openness."

"Moo!"

Xiaobai nodded.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen finally disappeared.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen opened his eyes in reality, and Liu Gu approached with Xiao Hong, asking, "How did it go?"

"It failed."

"Did the Demon Bull hurt you?" Liu Gu was shocked to see Lin Chen’s pale face.

"No."

Lin Chen explained what happened inside, to which Liu Gu replied, "At least you’re not hurt."

"But that chain was too heavy, it’s beyond my capability." Lin Chen said with a wry smile.

After standing up, Lin Chen went to find Tree Ancestor and recounted the events. Tree Ancestor said, "Its strength at its peak certainly surpasses mine. This kind of god-demon, you must conquer by yourself."

"Is there a way to instantly amplify my Spiritual Power?"

Lin Chen asked hopefully.

He thought Tree Ancestor would shake his head, but Tree Ancestor said, "There is."

"Really?!"

Lin Chen was elated.

"Most people can’t, but you can do it," Tree Ancestor said.

"Why?"

Lin Chen was excited, thinking he might be some sort of chosen one.

Tree Ancestor said, "Your little blue fish has the Power of Coexistence. I can borrow its body to transfer Spiritual Power to you, but whether you can succeed depends on your own destiny."

"Alright, thank you, Tree Ancestor."

Lin Chen said excitedly.

With Tree Ancestor’s help this time, he didn’t believe he couldn’t overcome a mere chain.

.....

Three days later, Lin Chen finally recovered from his weakened state. He found Tree Ancestor, ready to start the second contract.

Entering the state for the second time was faster than the first, as Lin Chen was quite confident.

Seeing Lin Chen and the Spirit Beast enter the state, the little blue fish swam to Tree Ancestor. Tree Ancestor placed its trunk on the fish’s back, and the fish nearly fainted.

Luckily, Tree Ancestor promptly protected it, channeling its Coexistence Power to Lin Chen’s body.

So, at this moment, inside Xiaobai’s cow’s nest, Lin Chen suddenly emitted a dazzling green light.

"Hahaha, Demon Bull, didn’t expect this, did you?"

With Tree Ancestor’s power, Lin Chen felt capable once more.

The Demon Bull raised an eyebrow, surprised Lin Chen had brought external help; it was slightly dissatisfied, yet still had a teasing glint in its eyes.

Lin Chen approached and exerted all his strength, but gripping the chain felt like being crushed under a giant weight on an ordinary person.

"Huff, huff, huff...."

"What is this thing, why is it so heavy?"

Lin Chen tried several times, but the chain still didn’t budge.

Hands on his hips, panting, Lin Chen said, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

The Demon Bull said nothing, just watched quietly.

Ultimately, Lin Chen also gave up, realizing it was not working.

He seriously suspected that the Demon Bull made the chain heavier upon seeing him bring help.

"Okay, let me put it this way, whether you want to or not, Xiaobai is my Spirit Beast."

"In the future, when I establish a second contract with it, once it becomes stronger, you’ll benefit too, understand?"

Seeing that strength wasn’t working, Lin Chen tried persuasion instead.

The Demon Bull remained impervious to reasoning.

But as Lin Chen was about to turn into a mosaic again, he got anxious and said, "With a temper like yours, no wonder you’re locked up. Serves you right."

When Lin Chen said this, a flash of murderous intent appeared in the Demon Bull’s pupils.

Xiaobai sensed the killing intent, stepped forward, warning the Demon Bull not to act recklessly.

Lin Chen reflected that his earlier words might have been too harsh, so he said, "Sorry, I was just a bit upset with you."

Hmm?

Wait!

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something.

If this Demon Bull, before its death, was a terrifying existence like a god or demon,

not even several Tree Ancestors could earn its recognition.

The knot must be untied by the one who tied it.

Perhaps he should investigate the Demon Bull’s history.

Thinking this, Lin Chen spoke, "Brother Demon Bull, how about we negotiate a deal?"

"You’re dead now, it’s not like I killed you. Look, let me see what I can do for you, and in return, you unlock some of your power for me."

When Lin Chen said this, the Demon Bull’s pupils finally showed a change.

Lin Chen was thrilled, realizing he bet right, but his body was too weak, unable to maintain the mosaic, on the verge of disappearing.

"Brother Demon Bull, don’t worry, I’ll be back." Lin Chen shouted excitedly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Demon Bull’s pupils flashed red, and Lin Chen’s about-to-disappear spiritual body actually reformed.

Now, Lin Chen felt an endless power within him.

"Is this the Divine and Demonic Power?" Lin Chen gulped, astonished by the Demon Bull’s terrifying might.
