Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 742 - 474: Farewell, Gu Ning (Part 3)

"Don’t worry." The old healer’s tone remained as calm and indifferent as ever. "Although his ’Dragon Transformation Skill’ is impressive, he still lacks the skill to track my aura adequately."

His gaze, however, fell upon Gu An, who was processing the scene below, and he asked with interest:

"You’ve gone to such great lengths to kill an elder of the Gu Family just to lure him out. Now he’s right in front of you, are you really not going to kill him?"

"Gu An can be killed at any time."

Bai Ling’s voice was as cold as frost, but when her gaze involuntarily swept towards the direction where Lin Chen had left, that coldness quietly melted a little. "But with Lin Chen here, I don’t want to make a move."

The old healer, hearing this, didn’t say much more, merely casting a long look at the sky where Lin Chen had disappeared, stroking his beard, and remarked:

"Lin Chen’s... strength has grown so much again. It seems that this trip to the Nanfen Ancient Country resulted in some extraordinary opportunity."

Upon hearing this, a hint of astonishment flashed in Bai Ling’s eyes.

Her current strength had long reached a new level, and she considered herself standing at the absolute pinnacle of the younger generation.

Yet, no matter how strong she became, she always felt like a child who knew nothing in front of this mysterious old healer.

Just how terrifying is this old healer’s strength?

.....

On the other hand, Lin Chen and Lee Zhen traveled swiftly, without encountering any more trouble.

After another ten days of long journeys, they finally reached their destination—Thunder City.

Thunder City had fully recovered from the previous storm of dueling arenas.

Moreover, because the new Spirit Academy had settled there, it attracted countless talented young people and merchants from all over, making it even more prosperous than before.

"Where to first?" Lee Zhen asked, looking at the bustling scene before them.

"Back to the academy first!" Lin Chen replied without any hesitation.

He was eager to find out what the Great Elder meant by the so-called "important information about the Celestial Spirit Body"!

The two inquired about the location of the new Spirit Academy from passersby and quickly arrived at the foot of a magnificent mountain range.

The new academy was built along the mountainside. While its area might not match the former site that occupied an entire spiritual vein, it was already grand and magnificent, with pavilions and towers arranged tastefully, beginning to take on the scale of a top-tier academy.

At the mountain gate, students wearing the new uniforms were already standing guard.

"Who are you two...?" The student on duty saw Lin Chen and Lee Zhen’s extraordinary aura and was about to step forward to inquire.

Suddenly, a familiar voice with a hint of reproach came from behind, interrupting him:

"You’re back, and you didn’t let us know in advance! What if you encountered trouble on the way, who would save you?"

The student turned around at the sound, and upon seeing who it was, his pupils widened in shock. He quickly bowed respectfully.

The Great Elder!

The legendary Great Elder, known to be as elusive as a dragon, was here at the mountain gate himself.

Who on earth were these two in front of him?!

Lin Chen looked at the Great Elder, whose hair and beard were now white but seemed even more spirited and robust than before. His heart warmed, and he respectfully saluted:

"It’s been a long time, Great Elder. You seem as vigorous as ever, even more so than before."

"You cheeky brat, always so glib!" the Great Elder jokingly scolded, but his face was full of comfort and joy.

Lee Zhen also hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the Great Elder smiled as he returned the greeting.

Then the Great Elder instructed the student, who was still in shock, "Do not spread what happened today," and prepared to take Lin Chen and Lee Zhen inside.

Just then, the student finally regained his senses from his overwhelming shock!

He looked at Lin Chen’s familiar yet unfamiliar face, and a lightning bolt flashed through his mind. An exciting name that made him tremble all over blurted out!

"Lin... Lin Chen?! Are you... Are you Senior Brother Lin Chen?!"

Seeing his identity recognized, Lin Chen also smiled kindly and greeted him.

Unexpectedly, the student, like a fan meeting an idol, instantly became flushed with excitement, bouncing in place as if he were on steroids.

Lin Chen!

He was the sole idol in the hearts of all young Beastmasters of their generation!

Many had joined the newly rebuilt academy because of admiration for his deeds.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Lin Chen’s influence among the younger generation had even surpassed that of the Great Elder!

Once inside a quiet chamber deep in the academy and after dismissing others, the Great Elder looked at Lin Chen with a face full of concern and asked:

"How was it? Was the journey smooth?"

Lin Chen nodded, briefly summarizing the series of events that occurred in the Nanfen Ancient Country.

Even the well-informed Great Elder was shocked, stroking his beard with amazement, when he heard that Lin Chen had counter-killed the Divine Bull’s spirit and successfully turned the entire cult.

Lastly, when he heard that Xiaobai not only awoke but also gained a surge in strength from the ordeal, he finally relaxed entirely and said with relief:

"In that case, it’s a blessing in disguise, a great fortune."

After recounting his experiences, Lin Chen couldn’t contain his eagerness any longer, looking at the Great Elder with burning eyes and impatiently asking:

"Great Elder, have you found a solution to the outbreak of the Celestial Spirit Body?!"
