The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 340 - 194 Legion BOSS_1

Chapter 340: Chapter 194 Legion BOSS_1

Antarctica, Public Infinite City.

Shi Zhen, Zhu Kaixin, and others were almost in a state of frantic heartbeats as they were teleported out.

Even though they were First Generations, they had never experienced anything like this before.

They had witnessed the birth of the first Overlord Clan in the world!

This would surely be an event written into history textbooks of nations!

"Where should we go for a practice match?"

After coming out, the group quickly moved away from the crowded square through a Pet Beast of Gu Qingyi’s that could Teleport.

Then, Zhu Kaixin asked Lu Ran.

"Are you a pig? What’s with the practice match, can’t you be more cautious?"

Gu Qingyi knew that Lu Ran really wanted to test out the King of Sudden Death’s strength, but the urgent matter at hand should be to consider how to safely get Lu Ran back to his country, right?

First and foremost, ensure Lu Ran’s safety.

"Ah ha, should we get the Senior Chairman to come over for the escort?" Zhu Kaixin scratched his head, that’s right.

Allowing Lu Ran to wander aimlessly in Antarctica was indeed not a safe choice.

"Hmm? I’m up for anything." Lu Ran chose to first listen to Dr. Gu.

However... as for having the Senior Chairman personally come for the escort, Lu Ran had heard Zhu Kaixin say that the Senior Chairman rarely got involved.

Most of the time, he was like a mascot representing the apex of strength. He would give his opinion on matters and then leave the actual tasks to the other First Generations.

"No worries, leave him to me."

"I will arrange several avatars to come to Antarctica to escort him back."

"But don’t you all idle around, Pig God, go and reinforce the surveillance near the base."

"As for now, Lu Ran should just stay put in Infinite City, which is relatively safer, after all, few people dare to cause trouble right in front of patrolling Pet Beasts."

While the group was considering how to safely get Lu Ran back to his country, a catty female voice suddenly rang out.

In fact, it was really a cat. Manager Ying unexpectedly appeared near the group and slowly walked towards them.

The group exchanged glances; that cat sure moved quickly.

...

"Alright then."

At the moment, Lu Ran’s physical location was still at the desolate icy plains, not within the Xia Country base in Antarctica.

Manager Ying had Pig God go around the base to strengthen surveillance to see which forces were getting impatient.

"I’m on it." Pig God shrugged. After all, his desire to have a practice match with Lu Ran wasn’t as strong as he previously thought.

A practice match between a First Generation and a Fourth Generation... Even though they both had new pets and despite his advantage with Beast Training techniques, he didn’t think the odds of winning were very large.

The gap between a Monarch and an Overlord was still too great.

Having frequently challenged secret realms at the Overlord level, they felt this profoundly.

If, by any chance, Lu Ran climbed onto Infinite City’s Overlord Divine Pet List by defeating him, wouldn’t the battle record show that he had been overwhelmingly beaten?

As one of the most outstanding First Generations of Xia Country, Old Pig did want to save some face.

And indeed, the current pressing issue was indeed the safety of Lu Ran.

After the negotiations, Zhu Kaixin chose to exit the Secret Realm, and seeing this, Shi Zhen also said, "Well, I’ll be going too."

"I will also head to Antarctica in a while."

At this moment, Shi Zhen had an uncomfortable expression. The evolution of the King of Sudden Death had shocked him so much that he felt slightly unwell.

Shi Zhen suspected that he might turn into a girl again.

Nevertheless, to add a bit of strength to Lu Ran’s escort team, he was willing to head to Antarctica, even if he turned into a girl’s body, to join the escort team.

Soon, only Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying were left.

Gu Qingyi, rubbing her head, said, "Why have you run off to Antarctica?"

"Haha, wasn’t it to nurture Mr. Husky?" Lu Ran laughed. Mr. Husky had eaten a lot of Extreme Ice, and his teeth quality could be considered trained.

Top-grade rare resources!

Teeth with both ice and wind attributes!

"Don’t worry, I’m here, even if he’s abroad, nothing will happen to him." Manager Ying said.

"Plus, how would I know his Pet Beast would evolve so outrageously? If I had known he could evolve into a Middle-Level Overlord, I definitely wouldn’t have let him leave the country." Manager Ying also expressed her innocence.

Really, it could find trouble for itself.

"Anyway, this isn’t the place to talk."

"Let’s go to my shop," suggested Manager Ying.

The Neko Maid Cafe’s Antarctic branch.

"Good, I also have something to discuss, and I haven’t told Lu Ran yet," Gu Qingyi said.

"What a coincidence, so do I." Manager Ying said.

Both women then looked at Lu Ran, who was blinking.

Their look said, don’t you also have something to explain?

"Ahem..." Lu Ran said, "I do too."

...

After the concepts of Infinite City and Beast Training were completely brought into the open, Manager Ying’s business continued to expand.

Her business scope was not only limited to Asia but had also set up branches early on in the Public Infinite City where the headquarters of the International Beast Training Alliance were located.

Inside the Neko Maid Cafe.

Seeing that only two acquaintances remained, Lu Ran said, "Aren’t you guys curious about why the King of Sudden Death was able to evolve into a Middle-Level Overlord all at once?"

"You seem... not very surprised?" Manager Ying observed that although Lu Ran had been joyous throughout, he was far from being as shocked as everyone else.

It seemed that from the very beginning, he knew that the King of Sudden Death had such potential.

"Hehe," Lu Ran smiled and said, "I indeed had some guesses from the beginning."

"Actually, about the last Secret Realm, there are some things I haven’t told you all."

"What, what," Manager Ying’s hair stood on end, she just knew this kid definitely concealed something.

"So you can say it now?" Gu Qingyi didn’t really mind, as everyone has some exclusive little secrets. She had them, Manager Ying probably had even more, and naturally, Lu Ran had plenty too. However, as a friend, there was no need to delve deeply into it.

When Lu Ran wanted to speak, he would naturally do so.

The people who liked to probe into others’ opportunities had almost all been killed by the Senior Chairman.

"Yes," Lu Ran said, "it actually still has to do with the soul aspect."

"Originally, in the Secret Realm, after I used the Soul Suppressing Stone to extract the King of Sudden Death’s soul, I found that its soul did not match its body and was still that of the original Red-eyed Eagle Lizard."

"Thus, I researched and investigated related materials among the Necromancy Cult and eventually discovered that generally, the cultivation of the body precedes that of the soul."

"Although the soul will slowly match the body, this process requires some time."

"The more significant the change in the body through external forces from its original state, the longer it will take for the soul to adapt and match the new body."

"And evolution can speed up this matching process."

"At that time, I was thinking, could it be that the Beast Trainers of Blue Star find it difficult to evolve the Dragon Clan because they only focus on cultivating the bloodline, the dragon’s spirited intent, and neglect the cultivation of the dragon soul?"

"After all, knowledge about the soul is not abundant on Blue Star. Although during the evolution process, the soul will also slowly transform towards a dragon soul, can such an incomplete evolution be considered perfect? What if, before evolution, the dragon soul perfectly matches the body, or even surpasses it? What would happen then?"

"Are you saying that you sculpted a dragon soul for it before it evolved??" Manager Ying understood.

"Damn, what’s there that can’t be said about this?"

"Aren’t you also enhancing that Crow’s soul power?"

Lu Ran said, "It’s different. The Dark Crow is enhanced through cooking special soul bones in conjunction with my Cooking Intent, similar to enhancing other attributes."

"But when cultivating the King of Sudden Death’s soul, the methods I used were, um..."

"I had it follow the ways of the necro system Pet Beasts, eating ’souls’ too, and not just any souls—they were of the pure Overlord Dragon Clan, and not just one. I didn’t speak of it earlier because I didn’t want to scare you two, you know?"

Manager Ying, Gu Qingyi: "......"

Both of their expressions changed.

Ate several souls of the Overlord Dragon Clan?

"Hey, hey, hey, what are these expressions for? I’m telling you because I don’t see you as outsiders, you won’t stop hanging out with me because of this, will you?" Lu Ran hastily said, "The consciousness of those souls was ’purified’. They were just pure energy beings."

"It’s not cruel... No different from eating meat."

"Damn it," Manager Ying’s eyelids twitched, uncertain of what to say.

To make a living creature eat souls, only Lu Ran could do such a thing. Members of the Reaper would have to kneel down and worship the living Lord of Hell upon meeting you.

No wonder you’ve become the Necromancer Holy Son. It’s said that birds of a feather flock together, and truly, one does not enter a family that isn’t one’s own.

"I can accept it." Doctor Gu tapped the table and exhaled, so that’s how it was. No wonder Lu Ran’s Pet Beast had such strong evolution potential, it had even consumed "Overlord Clan · Dragon Clan Souls". Worthy of the Necromancer Holy Son, indeed using the Breakthrough Secret Realm to its limits.

With that, she could understand.

However, to discover this and quickly turn it into a complete cultivation route, Lu Ran was indeed quite talented.

"I’ve figured it out, as long as living creatures can eat ’souls’ to become stronger, then necro systems devouring souls won’t be rejected, right?" Manager Ying chuckled, "After all, by that time, other Beast Trainers will also be buying souls to empower their Pet Beasts..."

Genius marketing!

"Haha..." Lu Ran laughed awkwardly, "It’s not that easy. Getting living creatures to consume harmless souls is even harder than getting the undead to consume harmless souls."

"After all, creatures like King of Sudden Death aren’t undead; they can’t directly devour souls. To make them eat, I have to process the souls multiple times and turn them into Soul Cuisine..."

Manager Ying, Gu Qingyi: ...

It still sounded a bit off-putting.

"Alright, I’ve said my piece. Don’t you two have something to tell me as well?"

Manager Ying glanced at Gu Qingyi and spoke, "I’ll go first."

"Do you still remember when you asked me if there was a Legendary Secret Realm suitable for Weather Spirits?" Miao Miao said to Lu Ran.

"There is a Secret Realm where the BOSS is a young dragon capable of summoning storms, and you had listed that realm as a potential target for a challenge, right?"

"Yes..."

"Wasn’t that Secret Realm conquered not too long ago? It seems it was cleared by a team composed of Beast Trainers, one from each of the four small nations," Gu Qingyi said, "Looks like Lu Ran was a step behind."

Lu Ran: ???

"Damn." Lu Ran was stunned, "It was conquered???"

"And the team was assembled from four different nations!?"

I can’t compete with that!

"There was no choice, there are too few second-level Beast Trainers; they had to cobble together a team," Manager Ying said:

"This all happened while you were sleeping!" Manager Ying curled her lip, "But this is good news."

"Because after the Secret Realm was conquered, I got my hands on information about an entirely new Secret Realm."

"Didn’t you ask me before about a ’Legion-class Attribute’???"

"Huh??" Lu Ran was taken aback.

"The BOSS of this new Legendary Secret Realm is a Lower Overlord that can command countless lives, control them to form strong combat forces, and undergo collective transformations. I suspect it possesses the Legion-class ability!!"

"If you’re interested, you should go challenge it as soon as possible. It was difficult to say before, but now that your King of Sudden Death has evolved, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"Even if it only has the Species Level and its skills are inferior to the BOSS, you still have other Pet Beasts."

"A Legion-class BOSS is also a first in the Secret Realms, and this place is Public Infinite City. Now, various nations are probably very concerned about this Secret Realm, if you’re late, others might beat you to it."

"I got it," Lu Ran nodded, poor King of Sudden Death, just evolved and now it’s off to take a beating and work.

But the next moment, he was troubled again.

If the Legion BOSS drops an Attribute, should I give it to Yun Bao or to the Dark Crow?

Give it to the Dark Crow, it already has countless minions, which is very suitable, plus, if the third Attribute is necro system avatars, imagine if it could split into innumerable avatars, then it could become an army on its own.

Give it to Yun Bao, let it form a Weather Army, harness the power of nature, that’s also the might for annihilating nations, which is quite awesome. It would help evolve the Weather Spirit towards becoming the Master of Weather...

Lu Ran was stricken with choice paralysis once again, forget it, let’s see if I can even get it first.
