Chapter 449: Chapter 273: Three Families..._1

No one expected that at this time, Dark Crow would suddenly bring information from General Xuan Turtle.

Lu Ran put down his chopsticks, astonished as he looked toward the Dark Crow that had flown onto the balcony.

What did this guy just say?

Right now, Dark Crow’s eyes were covered with a black cloth, as if it was worried that its bloody eyes would frighten the two beautiful ladies. Although the black cloth concealed its eyes, it could not hide the excitement in its heart.

The Dark Crow was dancing with its hands and feet, continuing to inquire, "Great King, what should we do now?"

"That place seems to be quite far away."

Lu Ran turned to look at Doctor Gu and Manager Ying, who had also stopped eating, and both the man and the cat fell into deep thought.

"I’ve fused a new attribute into Dark Crow, significantly enhancing its strength, which seems to have also transformed its surveillance capability."

Lu Ran was nibbling on his finger, guessing that Dark Crow had released the "Eye of the Evil God" while in "Swarm Form."

With the help of the "parts" left by the Xuan Turtle, it was not impossible to find the turtle, and it was certainly a pleasant surprise. But what was the turtle doing at the Dragon Palace?

Logically, shouldn’t that Xuan Turtle be battling in the Fishman Empire right now?

"Your turtle, after you developed the Dragon’s Bloodline in it, might have been captured by the Dragon Palace during their battle with the Fishman Empire," Manager Ying said, taking a sip of fish soup to calm her shock.

"That reminds me, the prophecy we had was of the Xuan Turtle leading tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. But according to recent intelligence, shrimp soldiers and crab generals are the main soldiers of the Dragon Palace, not the Fishman Empire."

Lu Ran: ???

"Three factions..." Doctor Gu said, "Three battle generals?"

"Damn," Lu Ran said speechlessly, "It’s just a turtle. Why would the Fishman Empire and Dragon Palace fight over it!"

"Maybe it stumbled upon some amazing opportunity in the deep sea," Gu Qingyi suggested. "The number of extraordinary resources in the deep sea is several times that of the land."

"Yes, yes!!" Dark Crow suddenly remembered something and said, "When I took a quick look, I noticed that General Xuan Turtle seemed different from before. It looked very strong. Its Dragon’s Bloodline seemed purer, no worse than the Water Dragon Team’s Pet Beasts."

"It must have had some sort of adventure."

Lu Ran fell silent. At this point, what more could he say?

All he could say was that the turtle had a fate filled with twists and turns.

"Don’t worry for now," Gu Qingyi said. "Manager Ying’s foresight shouldn’t be wrong."

"Alright," Lu Ran nodded.

Immediately after, he took out the Deer Horn of God and began to heal Dark Crow.

Golden-green healing waves filled the room, and Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying stared at the horn in Lu Ran’s hand, slightly taken aback.

Manager Ying suddenly hopped beside Lu Ran to observe the horn closer.

"Thank you, Great King," Dark Crow said gratefully.

After the healing was done, Dark Crow flew away contently.

"This..." Seeing the Deer Horn of God, Manager Ying showed an expression of disbelief and said, "A legendary item?"

"No, not a legend, but an epic item that’s close to legendary quality," Gu Qingyi interjected from the side.

"Yeah, epic-level, the ancestral treasure of Lu Family Village, the Deer Horn of God," Lu Ran said casually, taking it out in front of Manager Ying and Doctor Gu for the first time.

"It’s an epic meant for healing. If you ever suffer any serious injuries in the future, just come to me," he said.

Lu Ran chuckled, feeling that he no longer needed to keep the Deer Horn of God hidden away. After all, his strength had now caught up with the Second Generation. Once Mr. Husky and the others leveled up a bit more and he went through another Breakthrough Secret Realm, even using it in battle would be safe, as he would have enough strength to face those who coveted it.

"Such a pity, such a pity..." At this moment, Manager Ying gazed longingly at the artifact, saying, "Whether it’s the Relic Space or the Deer Horn of God, they are all epic resources that I can’t use."

"One for growth, one for healing..."

"Hm?"

"As for it," Gu Qingyi said with a chuckle, seeing Manager Ying’s reaction. "Manager Ying must be thinking that if it were a restorative epic resource, perhaps it could lend her strength and awaken her original form."

"Why is it so troublesome to awaken your original form? Aren’t many ancient creatures now waking up?" Lu Ran asked, puzzled and even more curious about how strong Manager Ying’s peak battle strength was.

"You don’t understand," Manager Ying shook her head and explained, "Each creature has different ways of falling into slumber, some can awaken in a state of hunger, and some need to be at peak condition to awaken. In short, if my original form awakens, its strength wouldn’t differ much from my peak state; it might even grow stronger, skipping a lot of the process of regaining strength."

"It won’t be like that giant snake in Africa that needs to devour an entire country to regain some vigor."

"Is that so," Lu Ran responded, still skeptical, but increasingly curious about the extent of Manager Ying’s peak strength.

"Let’s eat," Manager Ying wiped away a tear and sighed in her heart.

Dinner concluded.

Lu Ran was planning to continue preparing food for his Pet Beasts.

However, a new update from Infinite City interrupted him while he was preparing the dishes.

"Breaking news, major Infinite City Arenas around the world are undergoing a brand new update..."

"A whole new mode of battle is updated, an era of the strong getting stronger is coming!"

"I would like to call this update the greatest benefit before the Battle of the World!"

Honestly, facilities in Infinite City are updated monthly.

From having only basic facilities at the beginning, to later opening arenas, guild buildings, shop rentals, and Teleportation Arrays, people like Gu Qingyi, a First Generation, are the ones who have felt the changes in Infinite City the most over the past three years.

However, not every Infinite City facility upgrade sparks such intense discussion.

The last times it was this lively were during the special updates of the Divine Pet List, Legendary Secret Realm, and Evolutionary Secret Realm.

The TV kept broadcasting, and the news popped up continuously on phones; Lu Ran and his group saw the news the moment it appeared.

"I knew it, Infinite City wouldn’t just let Blue Star die for nothing," Manager Ying said, focusing on her phone screen.

"This update is indeed good," Gu Qingyi commented, slightly surprised after seeing it.

"With this, the gap between Blue Star and the Star-Moon Federation should be able to shrink in a short time."

"Amazing stuff," even Lu Ran’s eyes lit up at this.

"Peak Arena"

This is a new mode that the arena had just updated.

The arena, actually, has been pretty useless since it opened.

It was merely providing a stage for Beast Trainers to spar.

And offered no special rewards.

It all depended on the Beast Trainers themselves wagering "crystal coins" to enrich the competitive format.

Therefore, usually, the more skilled fighters were seldom active in the arena, but instead were all delving into the front-line Dungeon Secret Realms.

After all, few fools would willingly give away their crystal coins to powerful Beast Trainers.

Compared to that, the profits from clearing Dungeon Secret Realms were much higher.

But now, with the emergence of the Peak Arena, the arena suddenly became entirely different.

Although the Peak mode also doesn’t offer crystal coins or resources as rewards, it does award something equivalent to crystal coins or resources.

And that is... growth experience!

In the Peak Arena, opponents will be randomly matched according to the Beast Trainer’s level. The winning side’s participating Pet Beasts, like in the Beginner Trial Secret Realm, will have a special reward mechanism; they will directly gain growth experience, increasing their Growth Level.

If the losing side, on the other hand, will be punished, and the Pet Beasts’ growth experience will decrease. If it decreases to a certain extent, the Growth Level will drop.

This mode, once it was updated, instantly made the Beast Trainers realize that this was a facility given by Infinite City Daddy to the Blue Star Beast Trainers for leveling up.

Now, the strongest tier of Beast Trainers in the Star-Moon Federation are all Level 7 Legends.

Compared to them, the strongest tier on Blue Star are still in Level 5 Breakthrough Secret Realms, not yet reaching Level 6.

Later on, it becomes increasingly hard to improve a Pet Beast’s Growth Level. Without special mechanisms, the Beast Trainers’ levels on Blue Star would have a hard time catching up to those of the Star-Moon Federation quickly.

For this reason, once Blue Star learned of the overall level of the Star-Moon Federation, they weren’t very optimistic about winning the World War.

However, now, with the introduction of the Peak Arena, it directly reignited a glimmer of hope for the Blue Star Beast Trainers.

"With this, if I keep winning continuously, my other Pet Beasts might soon reach Level 60 as well..." Gu Qingyi said, surprisingly, while looking at the news.

"This update is so timely," Lu Ran said, "If it had been updated a day later, I would have used the Enhancement Card on upgrade-type resources to increase the Pet Beasts’ Growth Level."

"Now, we can rely directly on the arena to increase Growth Level."

"Resource-wise, I can completely save on the upgrade-type resources and use them to buy other types of resources..."

For example, Enlightenment Intensification resources.

Gu Qingyi and Lu Ran looked at each other and nodded, then they both entered Infinite City together, planning to experience this Peak Arena.

Currently, there must be quite a few people matching in this Peak Arena.

In an instant, only a lonely old cat remained in the room, hugging a phone on the sofa, showing a baffled little expression.

"You two, what’s the rush!!!"

......

Infinite City Number Three.

After teleporting over, Lu Ran immediately left the exclusive room and went over to the arena.

It was indeed jam-packed here, filled with Beast Trainers, and various discussions kept reaching Lu Ran’s ears.

"Holy cow, winning gets you experience... What do you think, I’m currently level one, if I keep winning continuously, my Pet Beasts have no leveling bottleneck, and going through the Breakthrough Secret Realm would only take a few months, doesn’t this mean my Fourth Generation could stand shoulder to shoulder with the First Generation... hopeful of joining the World War."

"Dream on, how could you always win."

"Someone just came out from a battle and said the experience gained from a victory isn’t much, you must fight and win a lot to see significant improvement, and after a careful calculation, it still consumes a lot of resources, not enough healing potions."

Lu Ran found an automatic registration pillar and started operating it like using a tablet.

[Welcome to the Beast Training Arena.]

[Please select your battle mode.]

①: Regular combat (includes private room arranged battles, random battles in the square)

②: Peak combat (includes regular Peak battles, extreme Peak battles)

Lu Ran chose ②.

"Let’s see how effective it is. If I can quickly raise Mr. Husky to Level 40 here, it would save me a lot of trouble."
