Chapter 306: Chapter 173: Trigger! Hidden Mission_1

Lu Ran, having learned Soul Reinforcement, now had new tasks besides researching Soul Cuisine.

That was, every day, to strengthen King of Sudden Death and Mr. Husky through Soul Reinforcement.

It was known that by cultivating King of Sudden Death with Soul Reinforcement, its soul could become increasingly dragonlike.

This was crucial as it could allow for a more perfect dragon transformation during its evolution.

Strengthening Mr. Husky, on the other hand, could expand the advantages of its intelligence and perception.

Originally, after Lu Ran had learned the Mind Sword Intent through Reverse Beast Mimicry and spent several days attempting to teach Mr. Husky this intent, Mr. Husky was still unable to grasp it.

From this, it seemed that Psychic Sensing, this superpower, played a decisive role in forming the Mind Sword Intent.

Even with Mr. Husky’s natural talent in swordsmanship and perception, it was not so easy to learn.

However, as Lu Ran used Soul Reinforcement combined with Clear Spirit Fruit, it took Mr. Husky less than two days to master Mind Sword Intent.

Of course, there was a slight difference between their sword intents.

The Sword Intent that Lu Ran comprehended was called "Mind Sword Intent," while Mr. Husky’s was called "Soul-Slashing Sword Intent."

Without much pondering, Lu Ran understood what was going on. Mind Sword Intent was something unique to him, born from his own Psychic Sensing fused with Sword Path Intent. It was not suitable for Mr. Husky.

Just as King of Sudden Death was suitable for Dragon Intent but Mr. Husky, restricted by his race and bloodline, could not learn it at all and had to take a different path and learn Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent.

Similar was the case with Mind Sword Intent. Mr. Husky, with the experience gained from Lu Ran’s Mind Sword Intent, learned another type of sword intent with particularly strong soul-damaging power.

At first glance, this situation seemed quite regrettable.

After all, Lu Ran’s Mind Sword Intent could clearly capture the enemy’s emotional consciousness and strike with a single blow.

But Mr. Husky’s Soul-Slashing Sword Intent had deviated towards restraining the soul. It didn’t have as strong control over details.

However, in reality, there was nothing regrettable about this. Lu Ran’s Mind Sword Intent and Mr. Husky’s Soul-Slashing Sword Intent unexpectedly complemented each other. After further optimizing his Mind Sword Intent with Mr. Husky’s techniques, Lu Ran’s Soul Sword Technique finally improved!!

When striking at souls, Lu Ran could clearly start to feel that he could hit something different now.

Whatever he wanted to strike, or not to strike, was just a thought away.

"Black Feather!!!"

"Black Feather!!!!"

At Lu Ran’s shout, Black Feather was nearly transforming from Lord Gao Li’s subordinate to Lu Ran’s exclusive follower.

"Come over here."

"What’s up, Lord King of Sudden Death?" Black Feather hurried over, looking at Lu Ran standing beside a pile of Giant Rat Beast corpses and swallowing her saliva.

To put it bluntly, the Giant Rat Beasts of Midwood City were almost driven to extinction by Lu Ran.

"Try this." Lu Ran said, holding a jade-like black kitchen knife.

"Huh??" Black Feather nodded, another taste test it seemed. She was used to it, although Lu Ran had never succeeded before. But she still admired his spirit of not giving up despite countless failures.

Lu Ran... was not just thinking about it.

He truly hoped to cook harmless Soul Cuisine and change the Necromancer profession.

"What is the dish this time?" Fox Spirit crawled out behind Black Feather, who then asked Lu Ran.

"Rat Spirit Sashimi!"

"Eh????" Black Feather was stunned.

Then she saw Lu Ran grab a fainted Giant Rat Beast, tap its head with the Soul-Slashing Kitchen Knife drawing out its soul.

Next, he raised the Soul-Slashing Knife high, a glint of gray in his eyes, and brought it down with one slash.

Boom.

The Soul-Slashing Knife passed through the soul but seemingly did no harm to the soul itself.

But only Lu Ran could sense that the part of the Mouse Spirit’s consciousness belonging to the Giant Rat Beast had been completely "transcended" by his action.

"It’s ready," Lu Ran indicated that the Little Undead Fox could now eat.

This time was the simplest treatment of the soul Lu Ran had ever performed for Black Feather and the others to taste. It couldn’t even be called a dish; it was just a slash on the soul.

Faced with Lu Ran’s request, Black Feather, although puzzled, had to comply. Soon, the Undead Fox opened its mouth wide, sucking in the Mouse Spirit and began devouring it.

Gurgle.

It swallowed the Mouse Spirit directly, looking like it wanted more, but the next moment, the Fox Spirit’s eyes widened in shock, frozen in place.

"What’s wrong?" Black Feather noticed the anomaly and quickly asked.

"Woo! Woo woo!" The Fox Spirit came back to its senses, its shocked gaze fixed on its master, crying out in astonishment.

After a moment.

Black Feather too showed an expression of disbelief, turning towards Lu Ran.

"It seems like the result is not bad?" Lu Ran returned her gaze, a slight smile on his lips.

That was excellent.

The rudiments of Soul Cuisine had finally appeared. Though he had not yet cooked the soul, he had already managed, at the cutting stage, to completely separate the harmful substance— the soul consciousness—from the soul!

Lu Ran looked at Black Feather’s slightly open mouth and her shocked expression, feeling very satisfied.

"Are you... a god?" Black Feather remained dumbfounded.

The achievement was a massive shock for Black Feather. Her legs went weak, still hardly believing it.

A member casually recruited by Missionary Gao Li in a remote city, who was not only immensely powerful but had... solved a major problem that had troubled the Divine Sect for years???

"Lord Gao Li!! Lord Gao Li!!"
