Chapter 423: Chapter 251 Preliminaries Begin_2

Thus, Mr. Husky trained in the Savage Plant Domain, the King of Sudden Death adapted to Thunder Flame Mode, Dark Crow researched new Curse spells, and Lu Ran and the others began their preparations for the upcoming Beast vs Plant Dominance Competition a few days later.

Lu Ran was confident in achieving good results in a normal competition, but now that the apprenticeship legend was at stake, he dared not take it lightly and began to cram intensively to ensure a 100% success rate.

At the same time, Yu Rui and others were searching for the source of the anomaly they felt in the Forest of Death, hoping to uncover hidden side missions. Sadly, with Shi Ze keeping his mouth shut and City Lord Ye being beyond their reach, their investigation yielded little discovery.

At the same moment, the figure of City Lord Ye also arrived in another Super Metropolitan guarded by a legendary powerhouse.

"What are you here for?"

The one who walked out from the metropolitan was an old woman with a demeanor somewhat similar to City Lord Ye.

"Sister Master." If there were any people from Tree World City present, they would be extremely surprised, for there had never been any rumors that City Lord Ye had a master sister.

"I have discovered a fine Beast Trainer candidate and am considering taking him as my disciple. However, skills should not be imparted lightly, so I plan to give him a test," City Lord Ye said, "I would like to borrow your disciple for a task, to have her participate in the Tree World City’s Beast vs Plant Dominance Competition to put some pressure on him."

"Hmm???" The red-haired old woman spoke in surprise, "Who is this person who has moved you to consider taking a disciple?"

"But still... Beast Trainer, what exactly are you planning? Are you still being sentimental? Beast Training has become a tear of the era, and the Divine Tree Continent no longer has land that can bear Beast Trainers."

"That may be true, but I still feel regret. I also struggled with it before. Why can’t Beast Training surpass Plantmasters? In him, I see a glimmer of hope," City Lord Ye said. Being from a Beast Trainer Clan and having been exposed to Beast Training since childhood, she naturally loved Beast Training, but unfortunately, Beast Training was not on par with Plantmasters—that was the fact. Ultimately, she chose reality over her dreams.

She held the Beast vs Plant Dominance Competition precisely to see if there would ever come a day when Beast Trainers could surpass Plantmasters, even if just in the small Tree World City. However, the results have been very disappointing, as to this day, not a single Beast Trainer has won the championship.

"So you mean to say that this Beast Trainer candidate you’ve found has amazing potential?" City Lord Ye’s master sister asked.

"Even your prized disciple might not necessarily win against him," City Lord Ye chuckled. After all, Lu Ran came from the Beast Training Place, his Pet Beast was also an Overlord, and he had even encountered legendary creatures.

"Heh." City Lord Ye’s master sister shook her head disdainfully, "Well, whatever makes you happy. I’ll send her there, but don’t blame me if your chosen one loses and his confidence gets shattered."

"Of course."

With the invitation complete, City Lord Ye returned to Tree World City satisfied, while a nearly twenty-year-old genius Plantmaster set out for Tree World City under her master’s orders to participate in the Beast vs Plant Dominance Competition there.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

The preliminaries of the Beast vs Plant Dominance Competition arrived soon after.

The so-called preliminaries, being held within the forest, naturally had no audience.

On that day, only a few hundred talented individuals from nearby cities and examiners summoned from the Nine Major Families gathered inside and outside the Forest of Death.

"Brother Lu, you really can endure. To think you immersed yourself in intensive training for days on end."

Shi Ze and Lu Ran awaited outside the Forest of Death, and Shi Ze expressed his admiration to Lu Ran for managing to persist in intensive training without moving for so many days.

"Have you run out of flattery?" Lu Ran was unsparing, "Isn’t this the basics?"

"How could that be? After meditating for two days, I start feeling like there are ants crawling all over my body. I have to go watch Hua Ji dance to calm my mind before I can continue to cultivate," Shi Ze said. "Ah, I actually forgot to bring Brother Lu to watch the dance of the flower maidens of Tree World City. This is my fault, my fault. Shall we go after the competition?"

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, almost forgetting that on the Divine Tree Continent, Beast Trainers also needed to cultivate themselves, to meditate in concentration.

Comparing the two, indeed Beast Training on the Divine Tree Continent seemed more mundane. It was normal not to be able to persist for two days, unlike him, who didn’t really need to meditate in quiet contemplation, as he could simply arrange for his Pet Beast to cultivate on its own.

Lu Ran’s training was at most practicing Beast Training Techniques, but practicing Beast Training Techniques was far more interesting than meditating in silence, and never boring.

Whether it was synching with his Pet Beast or Flame Soul Cooking, every session was filled with a fresh sense of novelty.

Like now, Lu Ran was also researching the Sword Field, to see if he could learn the Sword Field like Mr. Husky. Once immersed in it, time flew by quickly, and it was not dull at all...

"The preliminaries are about to begin!!!"

"Please get ready, contestants!!"

As Shi Ze and Lu Ran chatted, the preliminaries were about to start. An examiner beside a man-eating plant called out, and as his words fell, the hundreds of contestants there all became solemn and focused.

"I’ll describe the preliminaries to you now. You will soon set out from here, and the task is to traverse the entire forest to reach the other side. Those who successfully arrive will advance to the next round, the main competition."

"During the traverse, you are allowed to interfere with and eliminate each other as competitors, without restrictions on life or death."

"So, please confirm once again if you wish to participate in this competition!"

Life or death not restricted!

Many Beast Trainers took a deep breath, but driven by the high rewards, they were willing to risk it all.
