Chapter 422: Chapter 251 The Preliminary Contest Begins_1

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit."

After a short while, Lu Ran and Shi Ze left the Forest of Death, and once they were out, Shi Ze was quite astonished and said, "Brother Lu, City Lord Ye actually intends to take you as her disciple. Aren’t you practically shooting up to the heavens now?"

"Huh?" Lu Ran looked at him, confused.

"Ahem, I almost forgot your background. You’re so calm... Could it be that your parents are legendary powerhouses too..." Shi Ze’s mouth twitched.

The son of legends!

Upon reflection, Shi Ze thought it was indeed possible. No, the son of legends can’t even compare to Lu Ran, especially since this guy seemed to have had contact with a legendary creature.

"The thing I just discussed with City Lord Ye, don’t spread it around. I don’t want others to know I’ve had contact with a legendary creature. I trust you, Brother Shi, that’s why I spoke openly about it," Lu Ran said, patting Shi Ze on the shoulder.

"Rest assured, I won’t tell a soul, not even my own dad! It’ll rot in my stomach, or my name’s not Shi Ze," Shi Ze promised.

"But on the other hand, as City Lord Ye said, with your background, not just any Plantmaster would dare take you as a disciple. After all, it would be like poaching from the Beast Training Place..." Shi Ze pondered.

"The City Lord doesn’t mind and allows you to maintain your Beast Trainer status to take disciples, perhaps because she also switched from Beast Training and didn’t start with Plantmastering initially."

"Do you remember I told you there’s a rumor that the City Lord wants to take on a disciple to pass down her family’s Beast Training Technique? Maybe, the City Lord sees potential in your Beast Training talent! And the Plantmastering knowledge she wants to teach might just be incidental."

"It’s fine, as long as I can learn the advanced Plantmastering knowledge," Lu Ran said indifferently. "Does the City Lord have any old rivals? She mentioned inviting a friend’s disciple to the competition—that doesn’t sound like a friend’s gesture..."

"Clearly she wants to see me eliminate her friend’s disciple..."

"I really don’t know about that..." Shi Ze was taken aback, "But actually, it’s normal. How could City Lord Ye become a legend without having a few strong adversaries along the way? However, a Level 3 Plantmaster with a Pet Beast from the Overlord Clan, that seems tough to handle."

"There are only 6 days left, Brother Lu, can you break through to a Level 3 Beast Trainer?"

"No way!" Lu Ran said decisively.

That’s the drawback of being a Beast Trainer in Infinite City; breakthroughs are not up to the Trainer themselves.

You get stuck at various levels by Infinite City.

You need to complete tasks given by Infinite City to reach the next realm.

But to talk only about drawbacks without considering the benefits would be unfair.

Although growth levels are restricted, Infinite City has paved another path for Beast Trainers.

Pet Beast evolution.

In the Star-Moon Continent and Divine Tree Continent, there weren’t stories of Pet Beasts evolving at Level 30 or 60, first or second stage.

Pet Beast evolution methods are one-of-a-kind Beast Training Techniques not accessible to everyone.

But it’s different for Beast Trainers nurtured by Infinite City; their Pet Beasts are directly given evolution opportunities by Infinite City as they acquire Fusion Traits.

Even the weakest Beast Trainer’s Pet Beast might have its fate reversed through evolution.

"What are we going to do then." Shi Ze started to worry for Lu Ran; he genuinely wanted Lu Ran to become City Lord Ye’s disciple.

After all, Lu Ran was quite close to the Shi Family, and if he became the City Lord’s disciple, it would bring many benefits to the Shi Family.

"Although I probably can’t break through, I indeed need to prepare," Lu Ran said.

We could try letting the Pet Beast undergo some serious training this week. Don’t forget, its abilities do have some restraint over plant life, so you don’t need to worry too much."

Lu Ran said, and besides, he had more than just Mr. Husky; there was also the King of Sudden Death, right?

Considering the size of the Forest of Death...

Honestly, if it weren’t for fear of creating too much carnage and affecting Granny City Lord’s impression of him, Lu Ran would let the King of Sudden Death fly into the sky and dive down, activating Thunder Flame Dragon Mode, and smashing into the Forest of Death...

The entire forest would turn into a meteor crater, alright, and no competitor would think of escaping, nor would any Ferocious Plants think of surviving.

...

Because of Lu Ran, the Forest of Death was rapidly cleared, and the competitors who came early to get familiar with the preliminary trial location, upon hearing it was the City Lord’s command, dared not complain.

"Sister Yang, can you find out what happened today?" Plantmaster Liu Man of Star Moon University asked the local of Tree World City they had come across.

Like Lu Ran, Yu Rui and the other two Alien World Beast Trainers were quickly discovered by the local big shots of Tree World City to be of extraordinary origin and were invited to join them. Since Yu Rui and Liu Man were both Plantmasters, they naturally chose to get in touch with the Royal Planting Family, and although Jiang Ming was a Beast Trainer who specialized in dragons, considering the extraordinary nature of this Breakthrough Secret Realm, he didn’t dare to split from the other two. He boldly rejected the invitation from the Beast Training Family and ran to cling to Yu Rui’s coattails.

"I’ll try to find out, the events of today are indeed strange," the floral-dressed sister said thoughtfully.

Indeed, from the perspective of Liu Man and the others, this Breakthrough Secret Realm was too enigmatic, confounding them completely.

...

Shi Family.

Lu Ran returned there once more, and upon his return, he asked the Shi Family for a training ground and started practicing with Mr. Husky, signaling to the Shi Family not to disturb them.

On Shi Ze’s side, although he wanted to help Lu Ran, considering that the Shi Family’s level and the Beast Training Place were not on the same playing field, he didn’t seek to embarrass himself.

But Lu Ran was also well-versed in the ways of social interaction. He knew he had to give the Shi Family a chance to show their worth, so he asked Shi Ze to find some special Ferocious Plants, perfect for Dark Crow’s research.
