This time, Xiaobai was different from usual. Its body was somewhat cold, and its four hooves continuously twitched, seeming to be afraid of the cold.
Lin Chen quickly grabbed a blanket and then sat nearby, anxiously asking, "Senior, it won’t be a problem, right?"
Qin Shaoshao didn’t even look and said, "It originally wasn’t cultivating the Spiritual System, so this time it’s equivalent to expanding its spirit world, and pain is certain."
Lin Chen nodded, but since Qin Shaoshao was an "expert" in spiritual matters, she said it was fine. Lin Chen believed her, so he could only quietly keep watch by the side.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chen even started to feel drowsy, but he forced himself awake and found that Xiaobai’s body was no longer cold, and its breathing became peaceful.
Lin Chen breathed a great sigh of relief.
It seemed the danger period should have passed.
After waiting for a lengthy 12 hours, when Xiaobai opened its eyes, Lin Chen was still keeping watch.
"Xiaobai, you’re awake?"
Lin Chen looked at it happily, his eyes barely able to stay open.
Xiaobai mooed, louder than before.
Upon hearing the difference, Lin Chen became excited, and his spirits improved a lot.
The Little Fox handed Lin Chen the Cow Evolution Diary, with joy in its eyes.
"Smart little fellow." Lin Chen patted its head and turned to a blank page.
Xiaobai was also ready, wanting to try this, to see if it was capable.
Could it bathe first?
"Go ahead." Lin Chen felt embarrassed, too tired, causing some confusion and nearly forgetting about this.
Before long, Xiaobai finished bathing and returned, its entire spirit reinvigorated.
Beside the clearing, Lin Chen and the Little Fox were very nervous.
If it fails again this time, Lin Chen would be helpless.
Three Thousand Cyan Wus had been comprehended, the Supreme Bone Nourishing Soup had been drunk, and Xiaobai had been exceedingly diligent this period.
"Come on." Lin Chen felt his hand holding the pen trembling slightly.
Xiaobai stood still with its four hooves, closed its eyes...
It could feel its heart beating rapidly.
It also knew that Lin Chen was troubled over the Barbaric Bloodline.
But Xiaobai had no way to resist; even if it tried its best to stay awake, the mental erosion after activating the Barbaric Bloodline was something Xiaobai couldn’t resist at all.
So, Xiaobai wasn’t very confident.
Its thoughts vanished in a flash, and upon regaining focus, it mooed loudly, activating the Barbaric Bloodline again!
In the instant when cyan smoke appeared, Xiaobai’s aura became wild, and its eyes turned blood-red...
Please, let Niu Niu succeed just once.
Xiaobai felt its heartbeat becoming even more fierce...
In the next second, a tremendous force surged through its body.
Xiaobai knew it had activated the Barbaric Bloodline.
The wild aura filled it with battle spirit, itching to crash into something now.
Xiaobai swallowed because it realized it hadn’t lost its mind this time.
Delighted, it looked at Lin Chen and the Little Fox worriedly in the distance, just about to share the good news.
Suddenly, Lin Chen and the Little Fox reacted, thinking Xiaobai was about to crash into them again. The former quickly grabbed the Little Fox and ran behind Qin Shaoshao, muttering quietly:
Planning to share the good news, Xiaobai suddenly had another idea...
They probably don’t know yet; let’s give them a surprise.
Immediately, Xiaobai mooed angrily, then activated All-in-one, charged directly at Lin Chen and the others.
"Finished, failed again." Lin Chen sweated profusely, calling out, "It seems this thing is really hard to overcome."
Xiaobai’s speed increased, about to crash into them.
"Senior..." Lin Chen panicked, shouting, "Save me."
Qin Shaoshao remained indifferent, still reading her book.
Lin Chen and the Little Fox were puzzled, but it was too late for any thoughts...
Both closed their eyes...
Since senior wasn’t saving them, they could only wait to die now.
Moments later, Lin Chen realized there was no pain, but instead heard a gentle sound from the cow horn.
Lin Chen was stunned, opened his eyes, and saw Xiaobai looking at him smiling, even stretching its cow head over.
"Xiaobai, you..." Stunned, Lin Chen quickly reacted, swallowing hard, looked at Xiaobai incredulously, and asked, "You... you succeeded?"
Lin Chen felt tears about to overflow.
It was really too hard.
The Mad Bull Bloodline’s training was really hell-level difficulty.
"Let me... take a look." Lin Chen turned his head, noticing Xiaobai’s eyes were still blood-red.
However, this state wouldn’t last long and soon dissipated.
Lin Chen, still uncertain, asked Qin Shaoshao, "Did it succeed?"
Since Xiaobai activated its Barbaric Bloodline, Qin Shaoshao knew Xiaobai had succeeded, so she didn’t intervene to stop it.
Seeing the "expert" nod, Lin Chen immediately rejoiced, hugged the cow head, and said, "Hahaha, we also have a third skill now."
Even Xiaobai’s tears seemed ready to burst...
What’s it like having skills you can’t use?
Extremely suffocating.
But after today, Niu Niu will rise again!
After the joy, Lin Chen quickly recorded.
Currently, the Barbaric Bloodline’s duration is only eight seconds, and after using the Barbaric Bloodline, Xiaobai’s Beast Power falls into a long period of blankness.
This blank period is even more terrifying than when it used the combined skill with full effort before.
Therefore, Lin Chen wrote in the Cow Evolution Diary:
Starting off with All-in-one, the explosive power is extremely strong, capable of easily using the combo...
Lin Chen remembered something when touching the cow’s head earlier; it seemed he saw something unusual.
He had Xiaobai stretch its head over.
Xiaobai’s eyes showed a smile...
"You little Xiaobai, trying to hide skills secretly again?"
After speaking, Lin Chen tapped its cow head.
Xiaobai felt wronged; it wasn’t seen by you, can you blame Niu Niu?
Lin Chen’s hand saw what he had just overlooked:
[Low-level Mortal Beast]
[Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Perfection)]
[Skill 2: Soul-Calming Hoof (Perfection)]
[Skill 3: Barbaric Bloodline (Entry-Level)]
Sure enough, Soul-Calming Hoof entered the Perfection Realm.
This wasn’t difficult to explain, as its subsequent enhancements inherently related to Spiritual Power, and now Xiaobai’s Spiritual Power had a major breakthrough, making the enhancements reasonable.
"Come, try Soul-Calming Hoof’s effect." Lin Chen was anticipating.
After setting up stakes in the clearing, Xiaobai immediately started Soul-Calming Hoof.
As the cow’s hoof landed, a bigger, faster, and farther shockwave swept away.
Immediately, a massive explosion sounded.
Lin Chen’s hand holding the pen froze...
He then saw the stake break into pieces, dust billowed, and after it dissipated, there was a sizable depression on the ground.
"This..." Lin Chen was baffled, asking, "Wasn’t it supposed to increase Spiritual Power? Why did it upgrade to explosions?"
Xiaobai didn’t understand, but it could feel the power had greatly increased.
"Indeed many, now its destructive power matches All-in-one-three cows." Lin Chen guessed, pondered for a moment, then added:
Lin Chen quickly recorded, neither surprised nor thrilled by this change, as Soul-Calming Hoof inherently had two evolution paths.
Now it seems Xiaobai’s main focus is explosions, with Spiritual Power as support.
"Try the combined skill, see if it can be used in full force." Lin Chen was anticipating.
If it’s a combined skill of two Perfection Realm skills, the power should be even more terrifying.
