Chapter 401: Chapter 236: It’s Just Labor Force_1

The Water Dragon Team’s collective appearance, while not as impactful and shocking as that of the Tyrant Dragon Team, still fueled the admiration of many young men and women within Xia Country.

Who wouldn’t want to raise a dragon?

If one were to raise one personally, even with resources, finding the correct breeding path might not be guaranteed, but if one could join the Water Dragon Team, presumably established by Lu Ran, then surely they would be successful in raising a dragon.

Lu Ran had even cultivated the Overlord Dragon Clan; would assisting others in cultivating a Monarch Dragon Clan pose any difficulty?

Consequently, although Lu Ran and Gu Qingyi had not publicized any information about the Water Dragon Team, the "Great Dragon Raising Era" inexplicably commenced. Numerous Beast Trainers tapped into their connections, seeking intelligence on the Water Dragon Team, hoping to join and, under authoritative guidance, breed their own Dragon Clan.

The next day’s "Cooking Class" was an opportunity.

"Two hundred people" would have the chance to see Lu Ran up close in the classroom.

This was a large lecture attended by the most academically advanced students of the term, from various majors, all of whom, drawn by Lu Ran’s reputation, had gone to great lengths to enroll in this class.

On the day of the lecture, dressed in a professional chef’s robe with a white top and black bottoms, Lu Ran arrived in the classroom on time. This was only one of the lecture venues, connected to a kitchen for practical exercises, but for the first class, Lu Ran clearly did not plan to delve into the main subject so quickly.

Before coming to class, he had specifically researched how a typical university professor would conduct the first lecture. The result was——

No need to teach, just brag to the students, talk up how powerful you are, how outstanding the students you mentor are, and then, subsequently, draw a big picture for them, presenting the brilliant prospects of the course... With that, one could essentially get through the entire class.

Lu Ran thought that was really something.

"Ahem."

As Lu Ran entered, the classroom had been buzzing with chatter, with young people whispering and gossiping; however, with a single clear cough from Lu Ran, it immediately fell silent.

In a corner, Fang Lan watched Lu Ran with amused interest, propping her chin with her hand, curious to see how Professor Lu would show off. In another spot, several young women looked at Lu Ran with admiration, having already named their future children.

Indeed, where there are many people, all kinds of expressions are available. At one location, a young man was grinding his teeth nonstop — Lu Ran glanced over and saw it was none other than Pluto, who had also signed up.

"Hello, everyone." Lu Ran walked up to the podium.

"Hello, Professor Lu!" There’s never a shortage of social butterflies, and immediately after Lu Ran spoke, someone eagerly asked, "Professor Lu, how are we going to proceed with today’s class?"

Lu Ran glanced at him and then addressed everyone, "Actually, when I first discussed with Dean Chu Yan, we tentatively decided to teach only the basics like ’Firework Skills’ and ’cutting’."

"However, the format of my course was slightly revised later on. Now, all of you sitting here are top students, so I presume you wouldn’t be interested in simple ’Firework Skills’ and ’cutting’."

Lu Ran smiled slightly, "You’re here, no doubt, to learn about rare chef class changes such as the ’Dragon Chef,’ right?"

"Since that’s the case, I’ll focus my course on explaining ’Cooking Intent’ to you all."

"A quick start to Cooking Intent!"

"Awesome!!!" Lu Ran concluded, stirring excitement among many students who did not expect him to be so forthcoming. Rather than simple cutting or firework skills, they indeed preferred to learn something more advanced.

Cooking Intent, this skill, was clearly something that not even some professors specialized in cooking could master, naturally placing it at a high level.

"Let’s do a quick survey; among the 200 people here, who has a Pet Beast that has mastered the second stage of Energy Shaping, ’Ideological Shaping’?" Lu Ran asked. "Just a show of hands, please."

In the next moment, over forty individuals in the classroom slowly raised their hands.

Seeing this, Lu Ran nodded approvingly. During the competition for new students, only he and Summer had mastered Ideological Shaping, and in just a few months, the number had increased to dozens.

It seemed that the teaching environment at Beast Training University was indeed impressive.

Of course, among them, some were individuals he and the King of Sudden Death had just coached to control the Dragon Intent.

"Ideological Intent, plainly put, is the combined use of mental will and Attribute Power," Lu Ran explained:

"All your Pet Beasts possess Attribute Power, so the key lies in the development of mental will."

"As everyone is well aware, mental will is also a critical element that differentiates Monarchs from leaders!"

"Once a Pet Beast reaches the Species Level of the Monarch Dragon Clan, they can use mental will to physically and psychically actualize their intimidation, causing both physical and mental harm. Pet Beasts of lower Races facing a Monarch Dragon Clan experience significant suppression of their strength, and a Monarch’s gaze, imbued with formidable presence, can even kill peers of the extraordinary level in an instant."

"However, Pet Beasts of lower Races are not without means to combat Monarchs; that tool is Intent."

"With this explanation, you should understand that Intent is about training mental will. You can shape your mental will as the tremendous forces of nature, or as mythical creatures from legends; in short, do whatever it takes to make your currently weak mental will simulate something far more terrifying."

"And as for the so-called Cooking Intent, it is the combination of special mental will and Cooking Equipment..." Lu Ran continued to elaborate on the concept of Cooking Intent, "When Ideological Shaping and culinary skills fuse perfectly, the user gains control over incorporating and merging Intent into their cuisine, which is considered a specialized application of Intent."
