Chapter 352: Chapter 202: Scaring the Kid Next Door_1

After changing into his Husky Battle Robe, Lu Ran was planning to book a flight to the real headquarters of the Four Saints Gang in Flower City.

However, as he picked up his phone, he fell into a slight contemplation.

He realized that his own level of consciousness was not up to snuff.

It was so dangerous out there, how could he just run off blindly?

If the conditions allowed, it would be perfectly reasonable to ask the other party to come to Green Sea City instead.

Lu Ran did have Bai Ling’s contact information for Infinite City, and through Bai Ling, he should be able to get in touch with Bai Qi.

"Bai Ling might not necessarily be in Infinite City."

"Better to look up the student’s real-world contact information through the school system."

He put down the phone and plopped down in front of the computer, logging into the administration system of Beast Training University’s official website with his privileged account to look for Bai Ling’s information.

"1587..."

After finding the phone number, Lu Ran sat in the swivel chair, shifting his gaze from the screen and dialed the number right away.

Beep beep beep...

A moment later.

A weary female voice answered the call.

"Who is this?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Ran spoke up, "Is that Bai Ling?"

"You are... Passerby A?" Bai Ling’s voice raised, a bit surprised.

"It’s me. How’s your brother doing?"

"Not too good. Although he himself has recovered, four of his Pet Beasts were gravely injured and died. He’s taken a huge hit and has been cooped up in his room ever since," Bai Ling sighed.

After all, with Bai Qi serving as the main pillar of the Four Saints Gang, its doom was sealed with his fall.

"Tell him to adjust his mood and come find me in Green Sea City."

"What do you mean?" Bai Ling didn’t understand, failing to grasp why Lu Ran suddenly wanted to meet her brother.

They should be poles apart by rights.

Now, whether it was Lu Ran’s identity as a Dragon Chef or as the most powerful Second Generation, he was already more dazzling than most of the First Generation.

Especially recently, since Lu Ran had cultivated the Overlord Dragon. He could become a distinguished guest in any major country he visited.

By comparison, what was there in the Four Saints Gang that was worth Lu Ran’s concern?

She was certain, except for the one Secret Realm encounter she had with Lu Ran, no one else in the guild had any contact with him.

"You just have to tell your brother..."

"Does he want to understand the true nature of life? Does he want to bring back his dead... Pet Beasts?"

"If he’s willing to come, I’ll be waiting for him in Green Sea City."

Lu Ran hung up the phone.

Meanwhile.

"!!!" Bai Ling’s pupils dilated with shock at the voice coming through the phone.

Lu Ran... had the ability to bring back dead Pet Beasts???

...

Flower City.

Inside a manor, after ending the call, Bai Ling immediately ran to Bai Qi’s room.

She kept knocking on the door, and shortly after, it was opened by a youth in a sick person’s attire, a look of decadence on his face,

"What is it?"

"Is someone else here to see me? I told you, I don’t want to see anyone right now..."

"It’s not about someone coming to see you. It’s about someone asking you to go see them," Bai Ling said earnestly.

Bai Qi: ???

After what Bai Ling said, Bai Qi was utterly baffled. It made sense for people to come to see him, whether it was to offer sympathy or to gloat, given his current sorrowful state.

But for someone who just experienced the backlash of four Pet Beasts dying to go see someone else? What was this all about???

"What king..." Just as Bai Qi was about to say, which son of a ***** was messing with him, Bai Ling interrupted, "It’s Lu Ran, Passerby A, who just bred the Overlord Dragon."

"He got in touch with me and said he has a way to bring back your dead Pet Beasts."

Thud.

Upon hearing this, the dispirited youth lost his balance and fell to his knees, clutching his sister’s arm with an incredulous look in his eyes.

"Who."

"What did you say."

"Say it again?"

Bai Ling took a deep breath and said, "It’s Lu Ran, Passerby A!"

"Will you go, or not?"

Even Bai Qi was in shock, unbelieving. "Can dead Pet Beasts actually be revived???"

"Could it be, he somehow got his hands on a Resurrection resource??"

"But such resources are so rare, why would he be willing to give it to me?"

After a deep breath, he gratefully clutched his sister’s hand and said, "I underestimated you before. I didn’t expect you had such charm to make such an important figure remember you from just one Breakthrough Secret Realm."

"Haha, this Passerby A has good taste."

Bai Ling: ???

She shook off her brother’s arm, although she herself was very puzzled. Could it be... that Lu Ran was secretly in love with her?

If it were Lu Ran... Bai Ling pondered for a moment. No, she felt unworthy.

...

That very day.

Bai Qi quickly regained his spirit from a state of disrepair, reverting to the formidable aura of the infamous killer Bai Qi from Infinite City.

Once he donned his formal attire, he soon arrived in Green Sea City and then, with a nervous heart, made his way to the desolate Jade Mountain using the coordinates given by Lu Ran.

Subsequently, he saw a youth, not very bright-looking and clad in a Husky Sleeve, playing with fire.

It seemed like he was burning some strange misty substance...

By the tree next to him, a crow with sinister-looking eyes sat watching him with a secluded gaze.

No...

The entire forest’s shadows had countless eyes lighting up, all watching him together.

Gurgling.

Even though he was one of the Second Generation’s strong ones, Bai Qi was still very cautious in the presence of Lu Ran, who was considered legendary even on a worldwide scale.

And what’s with this forest? Why does it feel so eerie... as if challenging some dark Secret Realm?

"Is this Boss Lu Ran?"

Bai Qi asked, "I’m Bai Qi, leader of the Four Saints Gang, killer Bai Qi from Infinite City, Bai Ling’s brother."

"Finally, you’ve arrived." Lu Ran burned the soul into smoke in his hands, the Dark Crow on the tree took a deep breath and instantly inhaled the smoke, revealing an expression of utmost delight.

Lu Ran said, "Bai Ling’s brother, right? I’ve understood your situation."

"What a pity, four main Pet Beasts fought to their deaths, leaving only one newly nurtured pet."

Bai Qi gave a bitter smile and said, "Boss Lu Ran, my sister said you have a way to save my Pet Beasts. Although I don’t know what you want, I beg you to help me. As long as you can save them, I, Bai Qi, am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

"Or you can name your terms. I am willing to agree to any condition."

Lu Ran shook his head and said, "Let me see their bodies first, you haven’t dealt with them, have you?"

"Not yet..." Bai Qi hesitated, sighed, and summoned the bodies of his four main Pet Beasts.

The next moment.

The corpses of a green Dragon Snake, a white Tiger, a red-feathered bird, and a black Crocodile Turtle appeared.

No wonder his faction was named Four Saints Gang. His own Pet Beasts were also contracted based on the four Sacred Beasts.

It seemed that not only him, but all Beast Trainers in the Four Saints Gang also mainly had Sub-Dragons, Tigers, Birds, and Turtles as Pet Beasts, mirroring the concept of the Four Saints Beasts.

Lu Ran glanced at these dead beasts, then turned to Bai Qi and said, "How many Beast Training Techniques did you practice?"

"If I’m not wrong, you have three, right?"

"Correct." Bai Qi nodded. He always wanted to learn some unique and powerful techniques and not those that could be obtained from common Secret Realms, which anyone could learn.

Firstly because the former had greater potential, and secondly, one truly does not have the energy to develop too many Beast Training Techniques simultaneously, so he always kept the mentality of preferring quality over quantity, preserving his skill slots.

Facing Lu Ran’s question, Bai Qi was puzzled and didn’t understand what Lu Ran meant by asking these questions...

"Indeed, it matches well..."

"I can help you save these Pet Beasts, but you have to pay a certain price yourself."

"I plan to establish a special department, and I am currently short-staffed. After I help you, I want you to work for me, giving up the Four Saints Gang. Can you do that?"

Lu Ran looked at Bai Qi seriously.

He was not a philanthropist and naturally would not help others for no reason. Helping someone was like an investment, and they had to work for him in return.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi almost immediately said, "Of course, I can."

"As long as you can save my Pet Beasts, you are like my parents reborn, my real elder brother, anything at all!!"

Lu Ran’s mouth curled into a grin, saying, "Well, it doesn’t need to be that serious..."

"Saving your Pet Beasts is simple, but their forms might change afterward. If you can accept that, then there’s no problem."

With that said, he extended his hand holding a black Beast Training Skill Card and tossed it to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi caught it immediately.

The next moment.

As Lu Ran’s voice rang out again, Bai Qi’s expression turned shockingly pale.

"Would you mind, transitioning from a Beast Trainer to a Necromancer?"

"What the f—!" Bai Qi almost screamed, startled as he momentarily considered throwing the Skill Card away.

Resurrection of Death! Necro system!

Reaper’s core skill!

His pupils contracted; he thought Lu Ran had some rare resource for reviving the dead.

But actually...

At that moment, Bai Qi was immensely shocked; he never imagined Lu Ran would pull out a Necromancy class-change card for him.

Considering that only the Reapers had such a thing, and knowing the necro system had always been taboo in the International League and among major nations!

Looking at Lu Ran, it’s no wonder Bai Qi’s face turned ghastly pale.

This thing... Bai Qi was certain that if he practiced this, his whole family would be doomed. If discovered, the Xia Country Alliance would ransack his home the next day, confiscating all properties and resources.

Bai Qi was utterly stunned.

Suddenly, he recalled a rumor about Lu Ran.

Lu Ran... Saint Heir of the Necromancy Cult... Allegedly connected with the other side...

Could the rumors be true???

"What’s that expression for?" Lu Ran said. "With this, your Pet Beasts can be saved. Will you learn it?"

With the hot potato Resurrection Skill Card in hand, Bai Qi was sweating bullets, feeling more nervous than when facing a Space Attribute BOSS.

"Boss Lu Ran, does the League know about this organization you plan to build?"

"And what’s the goal?" Bai Qi decided to ask for clarity first.

Lu Ran chuckled, "Of course, it’s to overthrow the League, to become the god of the new world..."

As he spoke, he extended his hand, the Necromancy Saint Robe draped over him, and the black cape fluttered in the wind. In the dark forest, hundreds of crows let out their eerie cries.

He still couldn’t resist changing his clothes after all.

At this moment, Bai Qi’s eyes widened, his heart lurched, feeling like the whole world had turned alien, a chill running down his spine. It was over, he seemed to have stumbled into something tremendous.
