Chapter 326: Chapter 186 Mr. Husky: Urgent Urgent Urgent_1

A moment later, the Saint Stone Monkey King demonstrated the Stone Buddha Domain again.

Immediately after, he collapsed from exhaustion, with even his tail going limp.

Clearly, even though the Domain is powerful, for a Pet Beast nearing Level 60, it’s still their "ultimate move."

One that leaves them exhausted after a short while of use.

No wonder Manager Ying wasn’t keen on demonstrating it; it’s just too tiring.

"Mr. Husky, how’s it going?"

Lu Ran’s eyes shimmered with a blue-grey mist as he enhanced Mr. Husky’s soul.

"Woof!"

Mr. Husky pondered, rapidly releasing energy all around him, then a Wind Barrier enveloped Lu Ran and the others within it.

A massive ball of wind covered everything, blowing dust and grass about in the outside world, yet the next moment, Husky stuck out his tongue, squinting and tilting his head.

Indicating this was as far as he could go.

He just couldn’t grasp the concept of "Energy Flow" resonating with "Space."

"Normal," Principal Shi Zhen gestured with a wave of her hand, saying, "If just eating a Clear Spirit Fruit could grant understanding of the Domain, then this resource wouldn’t be priced at only ten thousand crystal coins apiece, but would be comparable to epic-level resources!"

"Even this step, it didn’t do very well. Its Energy Flow Technique must still be at the first stage. It’s not enough to build the connection between Territory Techniques and Domain space; the second stage of Energy Flow is also essential."

"Moreover, the expansion speed of its Field is too slow."

"However, its compression of the Wind Attribute Energy is indeed perfect, mastering the most difficult techniques quite well."

"Also, your Beast Training Technique is quite interesting..." Shi Zhen looked towards Lu Ran.

"Soul Enhancement Technique can temporarily enhance a Pet Beast’s soul. And soul power is related to comprehension," Lu Ran said.

"Is it a skill reward from the Breakthrough Secret Realm? Feels good," Shi Zhen commented.

"All right, you’ve seen the Domain, now let’s take a look at the Pig Transformation Curse."

Shi Zhen tapped her temple in resignation, feeling unpleasant about studying one bizarre Curse through another.

"Mhm mhm," Lu Ran nodded with a smile, then turned to Mr. Husky, saying, "You should master the second stage of Energy Flow first; the Domain can wait."

"We’ll discuss it more when we get back."

"Whoo~~" Mr. Husky sighed and nodded, feeling it was quite difficult.

...

Soon after, Lu Ran and his group found a weak wild beast and cast the Pig Transformation Curse on it.

Seeing a rabbit performing extremely indecent actions and making indecent noises under the Dark Crow’s Pig Transformation Curse, Shi Zhen pursed her lips.

"Do you have a research direction now?" she asked Lu Ran.

"Yes, I’ve obtained some skill information in the Breakthrough Secret Realm. I think combining that, I can try to upgrade the Curse, that is, to affect the life signs of an organism," referred Lu Ran to the collections acquired from the Necromancy Cult.

One of these collections, named "Sacrificial Method," described how to increase the skill power of necro system Pet Beasts by sacrificing souls.

Lu Ran planned to use this "Sacrificial Method" to see if he could draw parallels and enhance Dark Crow’s Pig Transformation Curse by sacrificing "flesh" to transform an enemy’s vital signs into those of a pig.

"Then once you’re familiar with the Advanced Pig Transformation Curse, you’ll study the reverse un-cursing method, right?" Shi Zhen asked.

"Right."

"Not bad, it’s more reliable than that cat’s ’Curse Knocking Off Curse,’ albeit a bit more complicated, but much safer," Shi Zhen exhaled.

"I’ll assist you in your research," Shi Zhen said. "Do you have any help to offer?"

"Caw."

Before Lu Ran could speak, Dark Crow interjected.

It looked towards the boss, indicating whether it could speak.

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, not keen on letting this creature interject, but eventually sighed, curious to hear its thoughts.

"Go ahead."

"Hmm?" Shi Zhen also looked towards Dark Crow.

"Caw caw," Dark Crow rubbed its wings, having been briefed by Lu Ran on Principal Shi Zhen’s situation before coming, so it was very clear about its current responsibilities.

It said, "Your Excellency, since we’re researching the Gender Change Curse, could you provide your hair and blood from before and after the transformation...?"

Dark Crow felt this Gender Change Curse was much more useful than its Pig Transformation Curse! If only it could learn it as well.

As a king, Lu Ran must have a queen with perfect talents, and if he cannot find one among females, gender change might suffice, should Lu Ran require excellent offspring!

Dark Crow planned to be prepared for the future; it might not be necessary, but it had to be ready! As the Crow Chancellor, it was its responsibility.

"You need this too???" Shi Zhen was speechless. Honestly, she didn’t want to provide it, but felt the request was quite reasonable.

"Yes," said Lu Ran as well. "It does feel like something we need to research."

"Other than that, I haven’t thought of anything for now. When I do, I’ll discuss it with you, Principal," Lu Ran added.

Lu Ran was relieved to see Dark Crow was only after materials and was thankful it was being somewhat reasonable for once.

"Okay," Shi Zhen gritted her teeth. "I hope you succeed in your research soon..."

...

After a brief exchange, Lu Ran returned home from Infinite City.

In the living room, Manager Ying was still snoozing next to the Weather Spirit.

On the sofa, Big Cat and Cloud Cat cuddled up together, creating a picturesque scene.

"Is it still sleeping?"

Lu Ran was astonished.

"It’s all because some people keep changing it around, using various skills on it from the moment it’s born," Manager Ying said mockingly. "Good thing you signed a pact with the Dark Crow as your third contract. If you had chosen it, I shudder to think what its miserable childhood would’ve been like."

"..." Lu Ran responded, "Well, that princess also contracted the Stone Monarch as soon as it was born."

"And it grew up quite impressive nonetheless."

"That’s why she got bitten by a dog as karma," said Manager Ying.

Lu Ran: "..."

"Woof woof woof!!" Mr. Husky came out from behind Lu Ran. Although Manager Ying was just stating the facts, why did it feel like she was bad-mouthing him?

"So, have you seen Principal Shi Zhen’s domain?" Manager Ying changed the subject and asked, "Any thoughts?"

"Yes," Lu Ran looked at Mr. Husky and said, "I plan to let it build a simple Sword Field first using the Grass-Wood Sword Intent, Blizzard Sword Intent, and Nature Manipulation Trait."

"Roughly speaking..."

"Within the domain’s sky, there’ll be a blizzard with chilling winds sharp as blades."

"On the ground of the domain, thousands upon thousands of Sword Grass would grow, where the wind, snow, and plants intertwine."

"In the extreme cold, the enemy would hardly be able to react before being slain by the omnipresent Blizzard Sword Intent formed by the icy winds, along with the pervasive Grass-Wood Sword Intent from the countless Sword Grass!"

"The Blizzard Sword Intent is responsible for ’control,’ while the Grass-Wood Sword Intent is for ’exhaustion’."

Ice Attribute Trait: Freezing, freezing the body, freezing thoughts. Grass Attribute Trait: Absorption, absorbing energy, absorbing life.

"Combined, under the onslaught of thousands of strains of Sword Intent..."

"In a very short time, the enemy’s state will drastically decline. If the enemy is weak, they would have already perished; if the enemy is strong, their condition will still severely deteriorate. At that point, Mr. Husky will strike at the severely weakened enemy with the final blow ’Soul Slaughter,’ denying even the chance of becoming an undead."

"As for why I didn’t integrate the Soul Slaughter and Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent into the domain, I think such a complex domain is unsuitable for a beginner like him."

"Moreover, grass and snow are part of nature, which can work together with Mr. Husky’s Nature Manipulation Trait, enabling it to exert greater power within the domain."

"We’ll talk about more complex domains later. A Pet Beast, as long as it has enough foundation, should be able to construct as many domains as it desires, right?"

"What you’ve thought of is already quite complicated, encompassing two attributes it doesn’t have! And mastering one domain is extremely hard," Manager Ying said, speechless. "But, a Sword Field resembling a natural landscape, huh? It seems swordless, yet the grass, the wind, the snow, they are all sharp blades."

"When the enemy’s blood intertwines with the blue domain, it actually looks quite beautiful," she said, her lips slightly curving upward.

"Let me name it for you. What’s that expression? ’Romantic scenery’, wasn’t it? You guys can call it the Wind-Grass-Snow-Moon Sword Domain!"

"I’ll decline on Mr. Husky’s behalf," Lu Ran said.

"Tsk," Manager Ying rolled her eyes. "Now that you have a concept, just work towards that direction, but no rush. Once you’ve integrated the Absolute Comprehension Attribute and combined it with your talents, I believe 100% he’ll be able to grasp the Sword Domain."

"Woof!!" Mr. Husky, hearing Lu Ran’s description, felt immensely comforted.

It was terrified for a moment, thinking Lu Ran would come up with some kind of hellish Sword Field full of bone swords and teeth.

The whirlwind of Sword Grass in the Blizzard Sword Domain made Mr. Husky huff with longing, and it really liked this delightful scene.

Let it be eager first, it was going to study right away!

With that, Mr. Husky dashed excitedly to the yard.

"This dog..." Lu Ran shook his head as he saw Mr. Husky’s renewed enthusiasm.

Manager Ying made a point earlier; this Sword Field involves two attributes Mr. Husky doesn’t have: Grass and Ice.

That is indeed a problem.

However, Lu Ran had already taken these into account.

After all, Mr. Husky is a Sword Dog and can carry weapons. So, aren’t the weapon’s properties also his properties?

If Sword Grass is of the Grass Attribute, then the missing Ice Attribute could be obtained from another weapon. Currently, Mr. Husky is a Dual Blade Style swordsman, and carrying two swords is perfectly reasonable.

Lu Ran already had an idea for that sword, which is the planned Tooth Sword.

In time, he intended to forge every tooth of Mr. Husky into an Ice Fang, making a Frostbite Sword.

Moreover, both swords have great potential, with the possibility to "awaken and grow."

In the future, if the Sword Grass could transform into Plant-Life Grass,

And if the Tooth Sword could give birth to an Artifact Spirit,

That situation made Lu Ran think of the Turtle Snake Beast Trainer he had met in the Newcomers’ Race.

Pet Beast Fusion Evolution!

The Plant-Life Grass Sword and the Undead Life Tooth Sword, was there a possibility they could become Mr. Husky’s accessories, its complementary weapons, evolving and growing along with it?

Viewed this way, while it’s just a simple Sword Field, the potential for growth seems immense.

...

As for Mr. Husky, Lu Ran let him research the Sword Field on his own.

With regard to the Dark Crow, Lu Ran had already decided to let it evolve third, so it was the least urgent. Reinforcing the soul and researching curse powers both required time.

As for King of Sudden Death, he needed immediate attention because Lu Ran planned to let it evolve first. Currently, although its setup was complete and quite perfect, Lu Ran knew there was one aspect where it had not reached its limit.

That was the development of the Red Lightning Trait.

The Red Lightning Trait grows stronger with more lightning strikes; although King of Sudden Death had previously endured the electro-training at the power plant, compared to the perfect Dragon King Bloodline, the perfect Dragon Soul, and the formidable Dragon Intent, its development of the trait was quite lacking.

For the next half-month, Lu Ran intended to concentrate on this training aspect.

"Now that the Weather Spirit baby has arrived, for the next half a month..."

"Green Sea will have daily thunder and lightning red alerts!"

Lu Ran mumbled, feeling that after this, King of Sudden Death would be the one in the team who liked the Weather Spirit the least.

But there was no helping it; it was all for his own good. A baby less than a day old was pulled out to work by Lu Ran, so hopefully, King of Sudden Death wouldn’t be ungrateful. The opportunity for Heavenly Thunder Body Forging + Sky Thunder Blessing wasn’t something just anyone could have.
