The rewards on this War Chessboard are still plenty; besides medicinal herbs and advanced Spirit Spring, there's even a reward for cultivating spiritual power to choose from.

"This is the Phoenix Enlightenment Tree, you can let your Spirit Beast comprehend it here for three days." Ding Feng took Lin Chen to a towering ancient tree.

Lin Chen looked at it and couldn't help but laugh with joy.

If I had known the rewards here were so rich, I should have come earlier.

This Phoenix Enlightenment Tree is much stronger than the previous Three Thousand Cyan Wus.

Lin Chen let Xiaobai go inside to cultivate, and Ding Feng curiously asked, "Someone once suggested a Death Warrior plan, but he didn't classify himself in it, so it wasn't adopted. You are quite proficient in human nature."

Lin Chen just smiled and then asked:

"The national document the mentor mentioned earlier, may I borrow it for a look?"

"Of course." Ding Feng said, then went far away and brought back a thick book. Lin Chen opened it and quickly found the record about Ma Xin.

In the national document, Ma Xin's achievements were evaluated very objectively.

Even at the end, Lin Chen saw a handwritten sentence by Gu Wei:

"His crime, my mistake!"

After reading it, Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief and curiously asked, "Why isn't the national document being widely circulated?"

"Because..." Ding Feng began to say, "It's needed for the greater national good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned. Then he understood.

After the war ended, Cangling Ancient Country was in disarray. At this moment, someone needed to stand up and unite the scattered hearts and minds.

This person, is Gu Wei.

This is a historical inevitability. The current strength of Cangling Ancient Country also proves that this path was correct.

So, no one is wrong; it's just the cruelty of war that's at fault.

Lin Chen flipped to the end and saw the historian's final evaluation of Ma Xin:

Though obscured in the annals, he upheld the nation with his backbone when the mountains and rivers were about to collapse.

Lin Chen sighed, not expecting Ding Feng to say:

"Don't worry, with this educational reform, the lifelong achievements of Commander-in-Chief Ma Xin have been included in the textbooks as a required course."

"The history of Cangling Ancient Country has never wronged any worthy hero!"

....

Xiaobai daydreamed under the Phoenix Enlightenment Tree for three days, and Lin Chen read books for three days as well.

Three days later, when Xiaobai opened its eyes, a hint of cunning appeared in its pupils.

Although Xiaobai tried hard to hide it, how could it escape Lin Chen's perception?

"Looks like it broke through..." Lin Chen was very happy inside.

For Xiaobai's cultivation in other aspects, Lin Chen never worried, but for spiritual power, Lin Chen racked his brains.

He bade farewell to Ding Feng and took Xiaobai and the others back to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Did you break through?"

Xiaobai nodded its cow head.

"What is it?" After saying this, Lin Chen added another question: "Is it the Soul-Calming Hoof?"

Xiaobai nodded again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen lay directly on the ground and said, "It's hard, too hard, finally, it's over."

Xiaobai showed the same expression, preferring to lift weights for eight hours than daydream for three minutes.

While Lin Chen was still lying down, the Little Fox happily brought over Xiaobai's notebook. Lin Chen also perked up and looked at Xiaobai expectantly.

Xiaobai's Iron Horn Impact reached the Divine Enlightenment Realm effect and evolved into a brand new form:

Thousand Shadows Unification.

So...

Will the Soul-Calming Hoof at the Divine Enlightenment Realm also give birth to a brand new form?

At this moment, Lin Chen was excited inside.

He placed his hand on Xiaobai's head, and information quickly appeared:

[Kui Spirit Beast]

[Level: 25]

[Skill 1: Iron Horn Impact (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 2: Soul-Calming Hoof (Divine Enlightenment)]

[Skill 3: Barbaric Bloodline (Mastery)]

[Skill 4: Eternal Damnation Demon Horn (Mastery)]

The long-stagnant Soul-Calming Hoof finally had an improvement, indeed this Phoenix Enlightenment Tree is effective.

In the past, when Xiaobai evolved, Skill 1 and Skill 3 both experienced qualitative change, but the Soul-Calming Hoof remained unchanged.

Xiaobai was looking forward eagerly, and Lin Chen was no exception...

The evolution of the Soul-Calming Hoof and the controllability of the Barbaric Bloodline were Lin Chen's "major concerns."

Now, one concern is finally about to be resolved.

"Let's go, give it a try." As Lin Chen got up, the Big White Bear voluntarily went to chop wood and turned back to the Little Fox, growling, meaning:

From now on, when I test, you have to erect a stump for me.

The Little Fox stretched out its short, small fox claws, indicating that it's responsible for holding the notebook, and erecting the stump should be left to Xiaobai.

"....".

Listening to this big one and the little one chatting, Lin Chen was a bit speechless.

At this moment, Xiaobai was ready.

"Moo~~"

A cow roar echoed, instantly transforming into a Kui Spirit Beast.

Lin Chen immediately said, "Activate the second-stage Barbaric Bloodline."

Xiaobai nodded and promptly activated the second-stage Barbaric Bloodline.

After its entire skin tone turned red, Xiaobai suddenly lifted its front hoof and then heavily stomped on the ground.

Bang~~

Lin Chen immediately observed the height and range of the dust clouds...

The height and the range hadn't changed.

"Something seems off." While guessing in his mind, Lin Chen suddenly heard a hoof sound.

Lin Chen saw that Xiaobai hadn't moved, and then looked carefully again, immediately astonished.

He blinked rapidly, thinking he had seen wrong.

After repeating it twice, he confirmed he wasn't mistaken.

"Spirit Illusion?"

Lin Chen was surprised beyond belief, the shockwave that originally needed dirt to be seen had become a cyan cow-shaped illusion spirit.

This illusion didn't match Xiaobai's current appearance, it was much smaller, resembling the state of Xiaobai when it was a one-year-old Plowhorn Beast.

In other words, an illusion spirit of a young Plowhorn Beast.

However, that Cyan Ox illusion spirit's running speed was exceedingly fast.

In an instant, it crashed into the wooden stake and exploded abruptly.

The wooden stake immediately shattered, leaving a huge crater on the ground.

Lin Chen gulped...

This crater was more than three times larger than before.

However, what shocked him the most was the Cyan Ox illusion spirit just now.

This is a form that the Soul-Calming Hoof has never manifested before.

The illusion of the Iron Horn Impact and the illusion spirit are completely different; the illusion is just a residual shadow, but the illusion spirit is infinitely close to reality and can cause damage.

It's just a pity that for now, he can only see the explosion effect, he can't observe how other effects fare.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but think of Qin Shaoshao.

If she were here, a correct conclusion could be reached.

Lin Chen sighed, at that moment, he missed Qin Shaoshao, the top-notch punching bag, immensely.

"Moo~~~"

Xiaobai came up to Lin Chen, asking how this move was.

"Can't see it for now, but...." Lin Chen thought of the illusion just now and said, "It definitely can't be bad."

Hearing this, Xiaobai was overjoyed.

Regardless, Niu Niu didn't understand, if the Beastmaster said it was impressive, then it was indeed impressive.

"Since it's a brand new evolution form, it should be given a new name." After pondering for a while, Lin Chen finally made a decision, writing in the "Cow Evolution Diary":

Soul-Calming Hoof · Illusion Spirit.
