Chapter 393: Chapter 228 The Likely Possibility of the Reaper God_1

"What dropped?"

It seemed that the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian wasn’t surprised that Lu Ran managed to clear the challenge.

After all, Lu Ran did possess two Overlord Pet Beasts.

If Lu Ran couldn’t clear it under the circumstance where the challenge tested same-level combat potential, it would have been strange.

Of course, upon hearing that Lu Ran cleared the Trial Secret Realm in just a few minutes, the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian’s heart twitched a little.

If only the members of the Youxiong Family could also be this formidable, how great that would be!

"Even though I had previously agreed that all rewards would go to me, I’m not that petty."

Lu Ran chuckled, took out all the Rare resources that had dropped, and handed them to the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian.

"These resources, I’ll respectfully offer them all to you."

"Hm?"

The Iron-Eating Beast Guardian looked at the pile of Rare resources he was holding, slightly stunned, and asked, "No World’s Rare resources?"

"None dropped."

"And even if there were..." Lu Ran’s mouth twitched, "You really thought you could freeload my World’s Rare resources, huh?"

This big panda is even more naïve than Manager Ying!

"That can’t be right!" The Iron-Eating Beast Guardian couldn’t understand. With the efficiency of Lu Ran’s clearance, how could there be no World’s Rare resources.

"Did you drop a Secret Realm Card?"

Very quickly, the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian realized something and looked at Lu Ran with burning eyes.

"Secret Realm Card? What is that??"

Youxiong Anlin and Du Yuan asked, puzzled.

However, Lu Ran was a bit surprised; this Iron-Eating Beast Guardian knew quite a lot.

It seemed that the ancient Youxiong tribe was indeed not weak, and someone had even dropped a Secret Realm Card before.

"Right." Lu Ran nodded.

"Dog..." The Iron-Eating Beast Guardian gasped, "Dogshit luck!"

"It’s about strength, okay?" Lu Ran said helplessly.

Don’t always attribute his strength to luck.

"Guardian Deity—" Youxiong Anlin saw that the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian had repeatedly ignored him and was on the verge of tears. Was he being marginalized??

The Iron-Eating Beast Guardian glanced at him and said:

"There was a period of time when Infinite City updated many Trial Secret Realms in reality."

"These Trial Secret Realms were all unclaimed at the beginning."

"But the Beast Trainer who clears a Trial Secret Realm perfectly for the first time could become the Master of the Secret Realm, acquiring an Exclusive Secret Realm Card."

"This Exclusive Secret Realm Card can transform a certain item into a Secret Realm Key, monopolizing a Secret Realm and making it one’s exclusive property."

"They can also pass the Secret Realm Key down, allowing their descendants to continue inheriting the position of Secret Realm Master."

"After the perfect first clearance, if someone else can perfectly clear the Secret Realm later, what will drop then is an ordinary Secret Realm Card. The chances of an ordinary Secret Realm Card dropping are very low, even after a hundred perfect clearances you might not get one, but its significance is also great. It can open a small Reality Secret Realm, which, whether for cultivating Spirit Plants or as a training ground, is very good, worth much more than World’s Rare Resources."

"Even the places with the richest Spiritual Energy on Blue Star can’t compare to the Secret Realm created by a Secret Realm Card."

"Damn." Youxiong Anlin looked towards Lu Ran.

Does that mean this guy took the grand prize on his first attempt?

"!" Du Yuan also cast an envious look at Lu Ran, that lucky one.

But then, both of them remembered that Lu Ran probably didn’t need a Reality Secret Realm.

This thing might not be of much use to Lu Ran.

With Lu Ran’s current status, getting what he wanted was just a word away. Why would he need to farm himself? Besides, training Pet Beasts in a small Secret Realm wasn’t too meaningful, as Infinite City’s Training Secret Realms were also top-notch, and the environment there was not at all comparable to Blue Star’s.

"So just perfectly clearing a Reality Secret Realm means you can become the Secret Realm Master?" At this moment, Lu Ran’s focus was on something else.

But soon, he started to feel regretful.

The Reality Secret Realms left over from ancient times are probably all claimed by now.

Like this one belonging to the Youxiong Family.

It has already been monopolized through an Exclusive Secret Realm Card, fitted with both a lock and a key.

Finding an unclaimed Trial Secret Realm will probably be very difficult for himself.

Wait a second.

Lu Ran quickly fell into thought again.

Looking at the Trial Secret Realm of the Youxiong Family, it seemed that the ownership of the Secret Realm was decided by the key, not the first to clear.

So, what was the current situation of that Necromancer Secret Realm in Reaper?

The key had been lost in the Breakthrough Secret Realm and couldn’t possibly exist anymore. So was that Secret Realm considered unclaimed now, or still claimed?

If it’s unclaimed, it’s surely been controlled by someone.

If it’s claimed, but the Secret Realm Key has "broken", and now everyone can enter through special methods, no matter how you look at it, it seems unclaimed.

Forget it, I’ll find out if there’s a first-time clearance reward once I go through it, and then I’ll know if it’s unclaimed or claimed.

In this way, do I really have the potential to become the Reaper God? In control of the Secret Realm and with perfect mastery of Soul Food, the necro system could be said to be completely tied to me.

"Let’s leave it at that~"

Thinking this, Lu Ran looked up and said to Youxiong Anlin and Du Yuan, "You guys should go challenge the Secret Realm as well. That, Guardian God of the Youxiong Family, I’m leaving now."

"You’re leaving just like that?" the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian saw that Lu Ran was not planning to continue challenging and said, "Take on a few more challenges. It seemed pretty easy for you, didn’t it?"

"With your luck, maybe you could keep dropping Secret Realm Cards."

Don’t you want to learn the Armored Bear Intent anymore?

Finding it hard to let go of someone capable of a perfect clearance, the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian was not willing to let go.

"No, my Pet Beasts are actually quite tired now. We’ll talk about it some other time; let’s call it a day."

Really or not...

Hearing Lu Ran say his Pet Beasts were already very tired, Youxiong Anlin and the others all showed skeptical expressions.

Could it be because of the pursuit of speed that led to exhaustion?

Little did they know that Lu Ran’s Pet Beast was tired because it had been through a half-day of turmoil in the Training Secret Realm before entering the Trial Secret Realm.

It clearly hadn’t entered the Trial Secret Realm in optimal condition.

Besides, for Lu Ran right now, verifying the sovereignty situation of the Necromancer Secret Realm was obviously more valuable than continuing to challenge a Trial Secret Realm that already had an owner.

After Lu Ran turned and left, Youxiong Anlin stopped in his tracks and said,

"He didn’t even tell me about the challenges behind..."

Boom.

The Guardian Deity of the Iron-Eating Beast lightly kicked Youxiong Anlin’s butt and said, "Can’t you show a little backbone... I’m so annoyed."

"..." Next to him, Du Yuan fell silent for a moment. Tragic! Lu Ran was truly the shadow lurking over the fourth-generation Beast Trainers.

......

South America, Reaper Island.

After several days, with the aggressive intervention of the Xia Country Beast Training Alliance, the Reaper Organization had completely changed its identity.

And as for the development of the Necromancer Secret Realm, Xia Country was also progressing in an orderly manner.

Now, the person in charge of this work had been handed over from Gu Qingyi to Lin Nian. As the only Beast Trainer in Xia Country who was proficient in naval battles, she had a lot more work to do.

For example, the Fishman Empire needed to be monitored closely.

Moreover, facing other countries that wanted a piece of Reaper Island, the more powerful and terrifying Lin Nian taking charge was evidently more deterrent.

"What’s up?"

Lin Nian, who was stationed on Reaper Island, asked directly upon receiving a call from Lu Ran.

"Sister Lin Nian, how are things on your side?"

"Not bad, it’s basically stable now. It’s just that exploration into the Necromancer Secret Realm is not going smoothly. I tried challenging it and at most reached the ninth level. Also, aside from the Resurrection Card and the Soul Burning Trait Crystal, nothing else dropped," Lin Nian replied.

"Didn’t the Youxiong Family’s Trial Secret Realm also drop other resources?"

"Why does this Secret Realm only drop cards and crystals?"

Lin Nian sounded unsatisfied.

Lu Ran replied with a bitter laugh, "The resources from the Youxiong Family aren’t that great either; besides, the value of the Resurrection Card is much higher than that of the Armorization Skill. Just getting that is already a huge win."

"I’m currently at the Youxiong Family’s side. If everything is stable there, should I go and challenge the Necromancer Secret Realm?"

Although Lu Ran wasn’t as strong as Lin Nian, the Trial Secret Realm wasn’t about absolute strength, but potential at the same level.

The trial undead Lin Nian faced were probably Level 60 and mostly from the Overlord Clan, so it was normal for the challenges to be difficult.

Limited by the lack of resources in the early stages, her potential as a Level 5 Beast Trainer was definitely not maximized.

But it would be different for Lu Ran. He would face Level 30 undead, and the Species Level wouldn’t be too high. At the Stage 2 Beast Trainer phase, his potential was invincible, comparable to legendary figures of the Star-Moon Continent.

If he could clear the levels at the Youxiong Family’s side, his situation after challenging the Necromancer Secret Realm probably wouldn’t be much worse.

"Sure, come over then. Do you want me to pick you up, or will you come by yourself?" Lin Nian asked.

"I’ll have Manager Ying take me there secretly tomorrow," Lu Ran figured there shouldn’t be any issues. In fact, having too many bodyguards might draw more attention.

Having decided to head to Reaper Island in South America next, Lu Ran first returned to the Green Sea.

He shared the intelligence about the Reality Trial Secret Realm and Secret Realm Cards with Manager Ying, and after contemplating, she said:

"So you’re saying that the current Necromancer Secret Realm is very likely in a state of no ownership, which is why Reaper members could enter through special methods."

"As long as you clear it, this Necromancer Secret Realm could very likely become exclusive to you."

"Exactly," said Lu Ran. "So, escort me over!"

"Troubling your old lady again," Manager Ying grumbled with a headache. "Wouldn’t it have been easier to have Lin Nian come to fetch you directly?"

"Isn’t this showing more trust in you..." Lu Ran said ingratiatingly with a smile. "Let’s rest tonight and head out tomorrow. I’ll have Mr. Husky and the others take a break too."

Manager Ying huffed despite not actually refusing, and said, "Why are you suddenly not in a hurry? Have you decided not to enter the third Evolutionary Secret Realm?"

"Right, the Evolutionary Secret Realm in two days is too rushed. I’ll wait for the fourth one; after all, it’s only a few days away."

"I think the fourth one is risky too; there’s only a few days left as well."

"Your Husky probably has no hope of mastering the Domain before the Evolutionary Secret Realm opens!" Manager Ying said. "Give up on that, better prepare in other aspects."

Lu Ran was silent for a bit before turning to look at Manager Ying.

"That..."

"Hmm?"

"Actually, yesterday..."

"Mr. Husky already started to use the Domain rudimentarily. I’m waiting for the fourth Evolutionary Secret Realm so it can get more familiar with it."

"Hmm?"

"What???" Manager Ying jumped up, eyes bulging as she stared at Lu Ran with her fur standing on end. "What did you say??"

"That Husky really learned the Domain??"

"Yes," Lu Ran said cheerfully. "I enhanced a Clear Spirit Fruit with an Enhancement Card, and after it ate the fruit, it grasped the Domain on the same day."

"Although it’s not very skilled yet, I think if I give it another week and another World’s Rare Clear Spirit Fruit, by that time, mastering the Entry-Level Domain Techniques should be no problem."

"Cough, grasping the Domain before Level 30 evolution and combined with Perfect Understanding Attribute, it’s hard to imagine what kind of Racial Talent it will develop..."

Lu Ran was extremely curious.

Both the King of Sudden Death and Dark Crow evolved based on resources as their foundation.

This time, Mr. Husky was evolving based on a skill as its foundation.

The direction of evolution should be different, right?

Manager Ying: ???

Next to him, Manager Ying was open-mouthed, trying to say something but unable to articulate her thoughts.

You must understand that as a High-Level Overlord from a Space Attribute clan, it only mastered the Domain around Level 40.

And now, a Wind Attribute Husky was mastering it at Level 30...?

"Meow-wow————" Manager Ying covered her mouth, suddenly feeling the urge to commit suicide, feeling somewhat unresigned.
