"Spirit Academy?" Zhao Jin squinted and smiled upon hearing this.

The Spirit Academy has been in the spotlight lately due to the Beast Fighting Conference.

However, the disciples of Celestial Capital do not like the Spirit Academy, as they can essentially gain luxurious resources just by entering the Spirit Academy.

As for the Spirit Academy, it is reserved for small forces or small characters sent by large forces for training.

Suddenly, Zhao Jin thought of someone and said, "If it's not your cousin Wu Chen, then could it be Lin Chen?"

Then he looked at Lin Chen's Spirit Beast, confirmed the answer, and said, "It's him indeed."

Due to the poisonous smoke, a large number of Fire Ant Beasts began to flee. Wu Gui immediately understood Lin Chen's intention and sneered, "People from small places indeed have a frighteningly narrow vision, wanting even Fire Ant Beasts."

Fire Ant Beasts are not considered good Spirit Beasts, at least in the eyes of the people from Celestial Capital.

Just as Wu Gui was about to leave, Zhao Jin stopped him and said, "Look at that."

Wu Gui looked over, and his pupils instantly lit up with greed.

"Beast King Egg?!"

....

Lin Chen had been hiding in a high place observing. Due to the strong smell of the smoke, Xiaobai had not detected the scent of Wu Gui and the others.

After waiting for a long time, he finally saw the Ant Queen appear.

It was carrying a Spirit Egg on its back, protected by many worker ants.

Clearly, this Spirit Egg should be the Beast King Egg.

"Xiao Hong!"

Lin Chen saw the other side preparing to enter the Fire Pot Forest area and signaled Xiao Hong to take action immediately.

The Little Fox immediately transformed into the Five-Tailed Flame Fox form, and released a Super Flame Bomb.

When a Super Fireball comparable to half a stadium appeared, it also startled Zhao Jin and Wu Gui who were hiding behind the yellow.

After all, they had never seen such a large fireball, but Wu Gui sneered and said, "Looks better than it works."

The power of the Super Flame Bomb is considered formidable among the skills, but Wu Gui and the others, being sons of Celestial Capital, had previously seen Lin Chen steal the spotlight at the Beast Fighting Conference, making Lin Chen's reputation resonate across the country.

Since childhood, they considered themselves favored by the heavens and were naturally displeased when they heard about Lin Chen's feats surpassing them both.

In their hearts, they believed themselves to be superior.

While they were talking, the Super Flame Bomb hit the fleeing Fire Ant Beasts, exploding with a boom.

Almost instantly, the Ant Queen reacted, signaling a warning, and all the Fire Ants looked around vigilantly.

Lin Chen took this opportunity to say to Xiaobai:

"Xiaobai, go!"

Xiaobai immediately transformed into the Kui Spirit Beast, almost instantly activating Tier Four Barbaric Bloodline, charging towards the Ant Queen with incredible speed.

At the same time, the Big White Bear tossed the Little Fox onto the trees. As soon as the Little Fox steadied itself, it activated Heart-Burning Fire Control.

This time, the Little Fox did not use the True Flame Mode, because Lin Chen said that the attack on the Fire Ant Beasts was not to kill but to steal the egg.

So, the Little Fox's skill was to disrupt the opponent and assist Xiaobai in the attack.

The special training effects from the Great Elder were very obvious on the Little Fox. Although the speed hadn't improved much, its ability to concentrate during movement was greatly enhanced.

Just as Xiaobai was about to pounce on the Fire Ant Beasts like a fierce tiger, it seemed to receive some signal, and hundreds of Fire Ant Beasts surged from all directions, surrounding Xiaobai.

Their massive forms shimmered with eerie red light, their sharp antennae incessantly twitching, emitting horrifying hissing sounds.

The Ant Queen opened its jaws and spewed lines of scorching flames, warping the surrounding air.

At this moment, the ever-waiting Little Fox finally made its move. Its eyes became exceptionally determined, quickly forming a Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb emitting an enchanting glow in its hands.

The Little Fox swung it forcefully, and the Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb shot through the air like a meteor towards the Fire Ant Beasts.

Boom!

When the Demon Fire Nuclear Bomb hit the ground, a small mushroom cloud erupted, with a powerful shockwave throwing the surrounding Fire Ant Beasts into the air.

Countless Fire Ant Beasts were caught within, screaming in agony.

Although the power wasn't enough to kill them, it inflicted serious injuries on all, slowing their movement significantly.

Watching this Heart-Burning Fire Control scene from a distance, Wu Gui and Zhao Jin's eyes widened, secretly swallowing hard. Their pupils reflected the Little Fox's figure, filled with greed.

This was Heart-Burning Fire Control...

Not to mention them, even those prominent figures wished their Spirit Beasts could possess such a Divine Skill.

Wu Gui seemed to understand Lin Chen's plan and said to Zhao Jin, "Follow me."

....

At the same time, Xiaobai charged straight towards the Fire Ant Beasts behind, knowing the Ant Queen was no pushover at Level 40. As it saw Xiaobai charging, it immediately protected the egg behind it, while spewing a black-red flame energy ball from its mouth.

Xiaobai remembered Lin Chen's warning that the flame was poisonous.

It swiftly dodged using Iron Horn Impact, raising its front hoof:

Soul-Calming Hoof. Illusion Spirit!

The moment the Illusion Spirit touched the Ant Queen, it stunned it. Xiaobai used Iron Horn Impact to knock the Ant Queen away and grabbed the egg in its mouth, landing with undiminished speed, even accelerating toward Lin Chen and the others.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was overjoyed and turned to the Little Fox and others, saying, "Run."

The Big White Bear caught the Little Fox, and together with the two Spirit Beasts, they made a run for it.

After being knocked away by Xiaobai, the Fire Ant Queen traced an arc in the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

However, it quickly regained consciousness and roared angrily, its voice shaking the ground slightly.

Its compound eyes glowed fiercely, watching Xiaobai carrying its egg, its rage reaching a zenith.

With a mighty kick, it propelled itself like a black cannonball towards Xiaobai, followed by a swarm of Fire Ant soldiers, dense like a black wave.

Xiaobai, with the egg in its mouth, sprinted with all its might, its fur fluttering in the wind, occasionally casting a glance at the pursuing Ant Queen and swarm.

They dashed into the Fire Pot Forest, where Lin Chen had thoroughly prepared the route. He glanced back several times and found that the chasers were falling behind, about to sigh in relief when Xiaobai suddenly mooed.

Lin Chen's pupils shrank, and just then, a mocking laugh echoed.

"You must be Lin Chen, indeed smart, daring to snatch from a Fire Ant swarm. We thank you first." As the voice fell, Zhao Jin and Wu Gui appeared simultaneously.

Lin Chen glanced at the two, instantly understanding, whispered, "Didn't expect to be the mantis stalked by a sparrow."

Wu Gui and Zhao Jin laughed louder upon hearing this, with the former saying, "Hand over the egg."

Both were confident, not thinking Lin Chen could withstand them.

At this moment, Lin Chen looked back and saw the Fire Ants nearing again.

He pondered briefly, surprisingly saying, "If you want it, you can have it."

Xiaobai and the three Spirit Beasts were startled hearing this, they were all prepared, ready to fight at Lin Chen's command.

Never thought Lin Chen would just give it away?

This didn't seem like the Lin Chen they knew.

But Lin Chen did just that, tossing the egg to the ground in Wu Gui and Zhao Jin's astonished eyes, then motioned for Xiaobai and the others to leave quickly.

"Could it be... we just got it?"

Wu Gui and Zhao Jin were in disbelief.

Previously, hearing Lin Chen defeated two masters of the Youlan Empire alone, they were ready to challenge Lin Chen.

Unexpectedly...

Just this?

"Seems luck played a part."

"Hero? More like a coward."

The two immediately grabbed the egg, mocking greatly.

Lin Chen ignored them and left.

When Wu Gui and Zhao Jin wanted to say more, they saw the Fire Ant swarm charging and fled without thinking.

.....

"Moo~~"

Without the egg, Xiaobai and the others wouldn't pursue them. However, they were unwilling, having their meticulously planned efforts interrupted by a robbery.

Xiaobai never faced such grievances before.

Lin Chen heard this and laughed, saying, "It's good we were robbed."

The three Spirit Beasts were filled with confusion. Lin Chen continued:

"If they hadn't stopped us, I might not have noticed..."

Finishing, Lin Chen smiled and led Xiaobai and the others back another route, saying:

"That egg was fake, the Ant Queen didn't chase us; we got tricked."
