Hao Yue didn’t even glance at the four-headed Chimera. After his roar, he held his six heads high, proud as a king looking down upon ants.

No one had expected this situation. Even Long Haochen was stunned. He and his companions had just taken the Combined Spiritual Increase Pill, ready to face Chen Hongyu’s test in their strongest state.

But Chen Hongyu’s strongest summoned beast had suddenly fallen to the ground, almost causing Chen Hongyu, who had just dodged the Hellfire Needles, to fall off its back. The situation was too strange. Since they weren’t enemies, Long Haochen couldn’t take advantage of the situation to attack Chen Hongyu directly!

“What’s going on?” Chen Hongyu’s shock was even greater. Layers of milky-white spiritual energy waves spread from his body, covering the four-headed Chimera Starry Nebula. However, against his wishes, the usually effective amplification completely lost its effect at this time. Starry Nebula’s trembling became more and more obvious, all four heads pressed close to the ground, and even white foam began to appear at its mouths and nostrils.

At this moment, Chen Hongyu couldn’t care less about testing Long Haochen and his team. For a summoner, their summoned beast was equivalent to their own life! Once their summoned beast had an accident, the summoner’s cultivation would be greatly reduced and they would suffer a near-fatal blow.

“What did you do to Starry Nebula?” Chen Hongyu roared. At this time, he also saw Hao Yue’s appearance clearly, and his eyes couldn’t help but stare blankly.

Long Haochen was also greatly surprised when he saw Starry Nebula’s appearance, because he hadn’t let Hao Yue attack at all! Moreover, Starry Nebula was a tenth-level magic beast, how could Hao Yue’s casual attack defeat it? For a moment, he was also confused, completely not understanding what was going on. He quickly asked Hao Yue to descend.

With a flash, Long Haochen came to Chen Hongyu’s side, and behind Chen Hongyu, Cai’er’s figure also appeared silently. If they were really facing an enemy, then the best time for her to attack would have been when Chen Hongyu shouted at Long Haochen just now.

“Senior, we didn’t do anything! We haven’t attacked yet.” The effect of the Combined Spiritual Increase Pill was still in effect, but because it hadn’t been released, Long Haochen’s body was not feeling well, barely suppressing the backlash of the Combined Spiritual Increase Pill. He said to Chen Hongyu helplessly.

Chen Hongyu looked at Starry Nebula, who could no longer even receive his mental communication. With his ninth-level cultivation, he was sweating profusely in his anxiety. “You didn’t do anything? Then how did Starry Nebula become like this? Your magic beast, it’s your magic beast. Could it be, could it be bloodline suppression?”

After all, he was the Temple Master of the Soul Temple. Chen Ying’er was right, no one in this world knew more about magic beasts than her grandfather. As soon as he said the words “bloodline suppression,” Chen Hongyu’s eyes were filled with disbelief. When he looked at Hao Yue again, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and his body couldn’t help but tremble.

“This, this is impossible, a six-headed Chimera…” Chen Hongyu stared blankly at Hao Yue, his hands and feet cold for a moment. However, he hadn’t forgotten Starry Nebula’s crisis and quickly said to Long Haochen, “Quick, send your mount back. Quick–” The last word he almost roared, showing how anxious he was at this moment.

Long Haochen didn’t dare to delay and quickly turned around, gesturing to Hao Yue. Hao Yue glanced at Starry Nebula with some disdain, raised his six heads again, and disappeared silently in a flash of purple light.

Strangely enough, as soon as he disappeared, Starry Nebula’s trembling immediately stopped, and it no longer foamed at the mouth. However, the other magic beasts were not so lucky. They had all been enveloped in the layer of purple light released by Hao Yue earlier. At this time, they were all slumped on the ground. Those with low cultivation died directly. Those with higher cultivation also fell into a state of paralysis and coma. For a time, many magic beasts were defecating and urinating, filling the Great Beast Arena with a foul smell.

Hao Yue left, and Chen Hongyu also breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at Long Haochen again, his gaze was completely different, as if he were looking at a monster. The four-headed Chimera Starry Nebula also gradually recovered. After all, it was a tenth-level magic beast, and its recovery speed was very fast. The four heads gradually lifted, but the fear in its eyes didn’t diminish at all, especially when it looked at Long Haochen. The huge body retreated a few steps, and in a flash of light, it actively returned to the summoning space, without even saying goodbye to Chen Hongyu.

“Senior, what exactly is going on?” Long Haochen finally suppressed the backlash of the Combined Spiritual Increase Pill, but he was also completely confused. The originally normal test suddenly had such a dramatic ending, how could he not be surprised?

Chen Hongyu’s eyes were fixed on Long Haochen. “How did you get that mount partner? Tell me quickly.”

Long Haochen said, “I obtained it on the Knight Sacred Mountain.”

“Impossible.” Chen Hongyu said decisively, “How could your Knight Sacred Mountain have a six-headed Chimera? Do you know what a six-headed Chimera means?”

Long Haochen looked at Chen Hongyu in surprise and said, “Are you saying that Hao Yue is a six-headed Chimera?”

Chen Hongyu nodded without hesitation and said, “Definitely. Otherwise, how could it have such a strong bloodline pressure on Starry Nebula? Even magic beasts stronger than Starry Nebula couldn’t do that.”

The others had already gathered around at this time, and even Granny Sanshui and Zhang Fangfang on the stands had come down. Granny Sanshui said, “So-called bloodline suppression is like this. Magic beasts have their own system, divided into many races. Within each race, there are strict levels. This is the hierarchy between magic beasts, which is somewhat similar to us humans. In simple terms, among magic beasts, there are also commoners and nobles. In front of nobles, commoners of the same race will feel a great pressure. This is the so-called magic beast bloodline suppression. Therefore, if magic beasts of the same race fight, then what they compete in first is the nobility of their bloodline. If there is a big difference in bloodline, then under the strong pressure, the battle is simply impossible to happen. Only when the purity of the bloodline is similar is it possible to fight further.”

“Let me give you a simple example.” Granny Sanshui pointed to Han Yu’s Evil Eye Lord. “Your evil eye is a lord-level one. If there is an Evil Eye Tyrant here now, then its strength will be strongly suppressed, and it won’t even dare to attack the Evil Eye Tyrant.”

After listening to Granny Sanshui’s explanation, everyone finally had some understanding of bloodline suppression.

At this time, Chen Hongyu’s emotions had also calmed down a lot. He said in a deep voice, “Just now, Starry Nebula saw your six-headed Chimera, just like an ordinary evil eye seeing an Evil Eye Tyrant, so it was so unbearable. If the aura of the six-headed Chimera is suppressed for a long time, it may even endanger its life. Now I finally understand why the Demon God Emperor values you so much. You have a god by your side. It is enough to threaten the rule of the demons.”

Long Haochen frowned and said, “Temple Master Chen, please wait a moment. I don’t think it’s right! Just now, Senior Sanshui said that the Evil Eye Tyrant can suppress the Evil Eye Lord, this is bloodline suppression. But the premise is that the Evil Eye Tyrant is indeed stronger than the Evil Eye Lord! But Hao Yue is different. Hao Yue is now at most equivalent to a ninth-level magic beast, and he has just advanced. There is a huge gap in level between him and your four-headed Chimera. There is a huge gap between ninth-level magic beasts and tenth-level magic beasts. How can he have bloodline suppression on your four-headed Chimera?”

“What did you say? Ninth level? Impossible, how can a six-headed Chimera be a ninth-level magic beast?” Chen Hongyu exclaimed.

Long Haochen said helplessly, “But that’s the truth. Hao Yue is indeed a ninth-level magic beast, and he just completed his evolution not long ago. My companions can help confirm this.”

Chen Hongyu’s eyes were dull, and his face was shocked. With his knowledge of magic beasts, this situation had exceeded his understanding.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the shock in his heart. Chen Hongyu said, “Let’s do this, I’ll tell you about the story of the Chimera first, and then you can tell me about the process of signing a contract with this magic beast. If this magic beast of yours is really only ninth-level now, then there must be an extremely special story about him, and he may no longer be in the category of Chimera.”

Granny Sanshui suddenly interrupted Chen Hongyu’s words and said, “Where’s Ying’er? How is Ying’er? Long Haochen, where did you send her?”

Long Haochen said, “I teleported her to a safe place. It’s also a divine artifact of ours, which can teleport people at any time. She should be suffering from excessive mental power consumption and will recover after resting for a while. I can teleport her back now.”

Granny Sanshui was still worried about Chen Ying’er and immediately nodded, allowing Long Haochen to teleport her back.

In the golden light fluctuations of Eternal Melody, Chen Ying’er, who was still in a coma, returned to everyone’s presence. Granny Sanshui quickly hugged her granddaughter in her arms and checked her physical condition. After confirming that it was just a coma caused by excessive mental power consumption, she breathed a sigh of relief and put a pill to restore mental power into Chen Ying’er’s mouth.

Chen Hongyu couldn’t care about his granddaughter now. After studying magic beasts for a lifetime, he suddenly encountered a special magic beast that he had never seen or even imagined. The shock to him was too great. While Granny Sanshui was treating Chen Ying’er, he had already begun to tell Long Haochen and the others about the origin of the Chimera.

“The Chimera is a special kind of dragon. The meaning of the word Chimera in ancient times refers to a chimera, which means that things that were originally unrelated are combined to form a new creature. It sounds a bit difficult to understand, but the existence of the Chimera just explains this word.”
