Lin Chen went to see Zhu Tong and explained the situation to him.

After listening, Zhu Tong agreed, even showing some expectation, and said, "Others tame bulls, you tame bulls. Others tame foxes, you tame foxes. How come what you tame is so formidable? I really want to see what's hidden in your gourd."

"Luck..."

Lin Chen responded with a wry smile.

"Haha, if your luck is that good, the one going to the National Master's Institute wouldn't be Bai Ling, but you," Zhu Tong retorted.

Speaking of Bai Ling, Zhu Tong also told Lin Chen about some situations in the National Master's Institute.

"According to the latest publicly released information from the National Master's Institute, they have recruited a total of nine disciples, including Bai Ling. This also includes the 'Child of Fortune' nominated by the Celestial Capital."

Lin Chen was surprised to hear this and said, "So it's fair competition? Bai Ling is not necessarily the National Preceptor?"

"Currently, this is how the Celestial Capital judges it. They think Zhong Nan is doing this under pressure," Zhu Tong said, although there was a bit of hesitation in his tone.

"The dean has other opinions?" Lin Chen immediately noticed.

"I haven't interacted much with Zhong Nan, but the Great Elder has interacted with him a lot..." Zhu Tong said, "Zhong Nan is usually very assertive in his actions, rarely yielding to others. When he took power, he purged the Celestial Capital Power. It was a stormy affair at the time, but he always did what he intended."

"But this matter is no small thing."

"That's what I think too," Zhu Tong said, "It doesn't quite fit Zhong Nan's character."

"That's why people often say that eventually, patience turns into becoming what one most dislikes."

Lin Chen hadn't interacted much with Zhong Nan either, and their status difference was too great, so he just listened to the gossip, "But it's good for Bai Ling."

"Yes."

Zhu Tong nodded and said, "I've also asked the Spirit Academy disciples in the Celestial Capital to keep an eye on her movements and help if possible."

During the conversation, Zhu Tong and Lin Chen arrived at Liu Gu's courtyard, where he was checking on the Big White Bear's condition. Seeing Lin Chen return, he curiously said:

"Lin Chen, I feel like Xiao Hei's color has gotten whiter, its fur better, and it seems slimmer."

Lin Chen and the Big White Bear exchanged a knowing smile.

After two rounds of bloodline purification, the Big White Bear's strength hadn't increased, but its physique had certainly improved.

"Roar~~"

The Big White Bear explained that it had been following a regular routine lately in preparation for this evolution.

However, it wasn't lying.

Liu Gu, hearing this, didn't doubt and said to Lin Chen, "It's in a great state, ready for evolution."

The Big White Bear was overjoyed to hear this.

After some tinkering, checking formulas, inspecting herbs, they finally put the herbs into the furnace.

Then Liu Gu started giving directions to Zhu Tong...

Poor Zhu Tong, a dignified dean, at this moment was nodding like a green recruit.

In the end, Liu Gu didn't look at Lin Chen but instead addressed the Big White Bear:

"Xiao Hei, I'll ask you one last time, are you really willing to undergo Law Evolution?"

This was very important, as it represented whether the Big White Bear's will was firm enough.

The Big White Bear nodded heavily.

Though risking its life, it trusted Lin Chen.

Liu Gu then instructed Yan Lan to add water, but this was no ordinary water; it was refined by special flames, filled with Beast Power.

The furnace was about to be lit, Lin Chen looked at the nervous Big White Bear beside him, stepped up, and gently stroked its bear head, saying:

"Don't worry, I'll be right by your side."

"Roar!"

The Big White Bear nodded.

In fact, it wished Xiaobai and others were here to witness this moment together.

However, they were all in seclusion right now, so it wasn't possible.

But with Lin Chen there, it felt at ease.

Next, Liu Gu summoned his Spirit Beast and said:

"Prepare, set fire!"

The Spirit Beast spewed flames, and Zhu Tong also summoned his Spirit Beast, beginning to coordinate.

When the water temperature reached the right point, Lin Chen patted the Big White Bear's shoulder and said:

"Come back soon!"

The Big White Bear nodded with determination and then plunged into the boiler.

The flames roared fiercely afterward.

Law Evolution is different from other evolutions, as it begins with refining the body, essentially removing all impurities from within.

This requires a continuous burn of intense flames.

The Big White Bear was deeply entrenched in it, shouting in pain as its skin was scorched.

The most grueling part was...

Among the herbs were several for healing, so when the Big White Bear got burned, the herbs would immediately heal it, only for it to be burned again.

This process was so cruel that the entire boiler was filled with bloody water.

Yan Lan, seeing this scene, couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned her head away.

Lin Chen, however, kept watching and, using mind communication, encouraged:

"Xiao Hei, hang in there!"

"Once you get through this trial, a vast sky awaits!"

This painful process lasted nearly three hours, and Liu Gu's prediction was correct.

If it weren't for Zhu Tong's assistance, Liu Gu alone couldn't maintain the consumption of Beast Power for so long.

After three hours, the Big White Bear finally ended its ordeal and then fell into a deep sleep.

But it didn't form a cocoon; it remained in its original form.

Lin Chen and the others all became tense.

The most difficult step in Law Evolution is forming a cocoon.

Just the first step had only a fifty percent success rate.

Unlike other evolutions, whether successful or not, a cocoon will form.

The first day, no cocoon.

The second day, still no response.

The third day, the same again.

Lin Chen couldn't help but start worrying...

If the Big White Bear failed to form a cocoon, it would mean...
