Chapter 421: Chapter 250: The Arrival of a Legend_1

"Woof woof woof woof—"

Through mimicking the aura of the Deer Horn of God, Mr. Husky successfully cosplayed as the Divine Deer.

Within the golden-green halo, he stood tall with intertwining deer antlers like roots, resembling the legendary deer that controlled the life of vegetation and was worshipped by countless plants.

Within the light, although Mr. Husky made strange, un-deer-like sounds, the presence of these Ferocious Plants was undoubtedly suppressed.

However, what disappointed Mr. Husky was the fact that, although it had successfully imitated the aura of the Divine Deer, it did not gain the abilities of the Divine Deer.

As a result, while these Ferocious Plants did not dare to attack Mr. Husky actively, he was also unable to control them in this state.

Seeing this, the wise Mr. Husky couldn’t help but feel frustrated; could it be that he still had to rely on the Sword Field?

"Lu, Lu, Brother Lu, what species is your dog exactly?"

Seeing Mr. Husky’s amazing transformation and sensing the anomaly among the Ferocious Plants, Shi Ze couldn’t comprehend and spoke up.

For a moment, it was unclear whether it was a dog or a deer.

If it were a deer, at first glance, it indeed looked like a dog.

If it were a dog, the deer form seemed even more powerful than the dog form.

Shi Ze had seen a lot in his life, but it was the first time he had encountered such a creature.

"Just Biological Mood Shaping," Lu Ran said. "I told you that sending it out might cause trouble."

"Er," Shi Ze knew about Biological Mood Shaping, but the transformation from dog to deer was a bit too drastic.

And what level of deer had to be so impressive to cause such a disturbance among these Ferocious Plants?

However, it seemed Lu Ran hadn’t lied to him. At the moment, indeed, the commotion was a bit too great, and Shi Ze looked into the distance...

The vegetation appeared to dance like green pythons, and the trees in the forest seemed like many giants waving their arms, extremely terrifying.

Such a commotion he had never seen before in the Forest of Death, nor did he know what impact it might have...

"Brother, I regret it now, please ask him to withdraw his divine power," Shi Ze said.

"This commotion is too big, if something happens, our Shi Family can’t cover it," Shi Ze almost kneeled to Mr. Husky.

Having the Swallowing Moon Dog lead the way was just fine; why did he carelessly ask Lu Ran to summon this dog?

Doesn’t a Beast Trainer understand his own Pet Beast?

"The issue shouldn’t be too big."

Lu Ran, who had seen big scenes himself, didn’t take it very seriously.

He glanced at Mr. Husky, also blaming himself for not being clear about having Mr. Husky activate the Sword Field, consequently giving Mr. Husky the space to perform.

This wave of realization from Mr. Husky was truly unexpected by Lu Ran.

It was, in fact, the first time the Absolute Comprehension Attribute showed its effect after the evolution.

It directly allowed Mr. Husky to cross species and mimic the aura of the Divine Deer.

Lu Ran was quite happy after all, as without this accident, Mr. Husky probably wouldn’t have cleverly chosen to cosplay as the Divine Deer.

This, too, could be considered a significant gain; his pose, to outsiders, must look somewhat related to the legendary Divine Deer, right? It’s more convenient for bluffing, backing up stories, and frightening others!

Just as Lu Ran’s thoughts settled, suddenly, a powerful oppressive force came from afar, causing Shi Ze beside him to involuntarily lift his head.

Due to the disturbances on the side of the Forest of Death, layers upon layers of white clouds rolled in the faraway sky, like a tide of white waves sweeping toward them.

In a part of the Forest of Death, Yu Rui, the son of a legend from another realm, was calming his Pet Beast while saying, "It must be the appearance of a species that has a very strong suppression over plants..."

No sooner had he spoken than he looked up at the sky.

"Species: Duke of Reed"

"Attribute: Grass, Wind"

"Species Level: High-Level Overlord"

"Growth Level: Level 77"

"That’s... City Lord’s Pet Beast," said the woman accompanying Yu Rui and others, looking at the sky in astonishment.

"Something really did happen," said the two Beast Trainers from Star Moon University next to her, suddenly excited.

Could it be they triggered some hidden side quest?

Now, the legendary City Lord of Tree World City was naturally coming to seek the source of the disturbance. Upon arriving at the Forest of Death, she instantly locked onto the source of all the agitation.

Standing atop the Duke of Reed, she peered down at the two humans and "two dogs," pondering for a moment.

At that moment, Lu Ran and Shi Ze were also lifting their heads, looking at the old grandmother above the Bulrush Sea and swallowing nervously.

"City, City, City Lord," Shi Ze’s stomach ached; having attracted the City Lord over was making him stutter for the umpteenth time today.

Contrary to Shi Ze, Lu Ran looked at the elderly figure with a bit of surprise, thinking that Mr. Husky had done a beautiful job.

He felt this was an opportunity; wasn’t this directly bypassing the competition and getting in contact with the legendary City Lord beforehand?

"Did you cause this disturbance?" the Legendary City Lord looked at the deer-dog and frowned as she spoke.

"You’re from the Shi Family, aren’t you? Did the disturbance happen because of you?" She looked at Shi Ze and then turned her attention to Lu Ran, feeling that the root of this change lay with this person, not Shi Ze.

"Response to the elder, I am Lu Ran from the Beast Training Place, here specifically to participate in the competition of Tree World City."

"To drive away these ferocious plants and prevent their attack, my Pet Beast used a special ability. I did not expect it to cause such a huge reaction. I am truly sorry," Lu Ran explained.

"Beast Training Place..." The gaze of the Legendary City Lord shifted towards Mr. Husky, with astonishment flickering in her eyes.

She had immediately discerned Mr. Husky’s Species Level, which definitely surpassed that of a Monarch, and at this moment, the likelihood that this Dog Beast’s Species Level was above Semi-Legend was astonishingly high; otherwise, it could not have caused such a violent disturbance among the ferocious plants.

As expected of the most ancient and mysterious Beast Training heritage on the continent, Lu Ran’s setup even surprised her, a legendary figure.

"...Do you recognize the creature it Shaped into?"

"First, ask it to revert to its normal state. The ferocious plants in this forest were all transplanted here and cannot withstand such violent agitation," the Legendary City Lord said.

"Yes." Lu Ran quickly gave Mr. Husky a look, and Mr. Husky immediately let out a "howl", regaining its clear gaze, looking at the Legendary Plantmaster, begging for protection with its cute pet eyes.

"I do recognize it. That is a Divine Deer. We have had a chance encounter with one, and according to the ancient records in the Beast Training Place, Divine Deer are legendary creatures that wield the power of natural life."

"Divine Deer———" The Legendary City Lord was slightly incredulous. It was known that the legendary animals of the continent had all but vanished, and yet this Beast Trainer had encountered a legendary life form?

No, it was not just an encounter. Merely encountering it would not allow this Dog Beast to bluff and imitate the other’s power. The City Lord subconsciously judged that Lu Ran might very likely have been blessed by a legend.

Although legendary blessings were exceedingly rare, they were not unheard of in the history of the Divine Tree Continent. Considering Lu Ran’s background from a top-notch Beast Training institution like Beast Training Place, she was beginning to realize that Lu Ran was no ordinary individual.

This fellow, could he be the heir to the Beast Training Place?

Why would the heir of the Beast Training Place come to her Tree World City to participate in a competition?

The reward was trivial and should not attract someone like Lu Ran.

"Ababa..." Shi Ze also had not expected that Lu Ran, this young man, had actually had contact with legendary creatures, and was immensely shocked. Just what was this guy’s background?

"You’re not just an ordinary member of the Beast Training Place, are you?" The Legendary City Lord looked intently at Lu Ran.

Scratching his head sheepishly, Lu Ran laughed and said, "My parents sent me out to gain experience."

"Well, actually, I am quite interested in Plantmastery. City Lord, as you saw, thanks to the power of the Divine Deer, my Dog Beast has a certain suppressive power over ferocious plants."

"We at the Beast Training Place don’t have a Plantmaster, so I thought, why not find a powerful one outside to apprentice myself to and understand this profession?"

"Brother Shi can vouch for me."

Shi Ze: ???

Oh.

"You, a genius from the Beast Training Place, studying Plantmastery? Are you not afraid your parents will break your legs?" Lu Ran’s words seemed to evoke memories in the Legendary City Lord, causing her eyebrows to furrow once again.

This rascal...going through a rebellious phase?

"City Lord, it’s different," Shi Ze said. "Brother Lu’s idea isn’t to train plants himself, but to have his Pet Beast train them. I’ve sparred with him before; his Dog Beast held Sword Grass in its mouth. It was amazingly powerful and instantly killed my Swallowing Moon Dog..."

"He wants humans to train beasts, and beasts to train plants, just like in ancient times, when Grass Attribute Beast Trainers’ grass-attribute Pet Beasts manipulated various plants."

"I wasn’t optimistic at first, but after today, seeing his Dog Beast display such suppressive power over ferocious plants, I suddenly feel that it might not be impossible..."

Beasts training plants...

The Legendary City Lord was silent.

However, looking at Lu Ran’s Dog Beast, her heart wavered slightly.

She chuckled and said, "You want to apprentice under a powerful Plantmaster?"

"Uh," Lu Ran said. "Yes."

"With your identity, no Plantmaster would dare to take you as a disciple, for fear that your family would come after them if you switched to Plantmastery," she said.

"Besides, you’re unlikely to give up Beast Training to truly switch to Plantmastery, making the idea of taking on a disciple even more meaningless."

"As a Beast Trainer, why would they impart their skills to you?"

"You’ve really gotten yourself into a pickle."

"It’s okay," said Lu Ran nonchalantly, confidently adding, "Even if no one teaches me, I can still conduct my own research. After all, didn’t the First Generation Plantmasters figure things out on their own?"

"That’s a bold claim," said the Legendary City Lord as she landed on the ground. Her Duke of Reed turned into a ring floating behind her. "Kid."

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?" Lu Ran looked at her.

"If you can secure first place in this Plant-Beast Competition, this old lady will teach you Plantmastery knowledge. You don’t have to switch to Plantmastery. Just keep training your beast diligently, and I’ll indulge your whims, helping you fulfill your desire to have beasts train plants. How about that?"

Lu Ran was delighted, mentally exclaiming in surprise. He hadn’t expected the Legendary Plantmaster to be so approachable.

"Really, Senior???"

"Ah???" Shi Ze continued to be dumbfounded on the side.

Brother Lu, this...

"For real. However, I will further increase the difficulty of this competition by inviting a friend’s disciple to participate," the City Lord spoke indifferently. "She’s a Level 3 Plantmaster with a contracted plant pet from the Lower Overlord clan."

"Fine," Lu Ran agreed without any hesitation.

"Good. Since you’re so confident, then go on and prepare," she said, looking at the forest. "You should refrain from coming to this forest for now."

"The ferocious plants have been quite spooked and have lost some of their vitality. Up next, I need to rejuvenate them; otherwise, they won’t be much use on the day of the competition."

"Of course, by the way, what’s your honored name, Senior?" Lu Ran saw that she intended to clear the field and wasn’t concerned. Now that he was on the path to apprenticeship, the Forest of Death didn’t matter anymore. After becoming an apprentice, he could learn whatever he wanted to learn.

"Ye Ying." City Lord Ye looked at Lu Ran and calmly stated her name.
