The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 465 - 283: Dark Crow VS Cat_1

Chapter 465: Chapter 283: Dark Crow VS Cat_1

"Shall we have a match?"

Lu Ran crossed his arms, unsure of how the other party wanted to test the strength of the Dark Crow Legion.

"Is it necessary?"

Shi Jialiang chuckled, "Didn’t the meeting mention that its strength lies in super-long-distance reconnaissance and striking?"

"Then show us that, how about it?"

"How should we display it? Do we have a target?" Lu Ran asked.

"We do!" Shi Jialiang’s mouth twisted into a grin.

"In fact, in addition to your Pet Beast Legion, the strength of that information-gathering cat also needs verification by the League. Although it claims to have the power to counter the Black Dragon, empty words prove nothing, right? Knowing each other’s strengths allows us to fight better side by side. Therefore, before long, the Twelve Branches will certify the strength of that kitty as well. I was thinking... when the time comes, you could join in and be responsible for a super-long-range sneak attack on the cat, making the game more difficult for it, hehe."

Lu Ran: ?

Damn, this guy really has a despicable streak. Manager Ying definitely won’t like him either.

"I refuse," Lu Ran shrugged. "Manager Ying and I are as close as siblings, I won’t participate in sneak attacks..."

"Alright, alright, no sneak attack then. Just inform it in advance about this part of the plan, that should be acceptable, right?"

"That’s more reasonable." Lu Ran stroked his chin, finding the idea of joining the sparring between the Twelve Branches and Manager Ying interesting.

Honestly, he was also curious to see just how strong Manager Ying’s true form was.

Um... The Dark Crow has actually developed a new curse recently. Why not test it out on Manager Ying?

"Then it’s happily decided!" Shi Jialiang smiled slightly. "I’ll notify them."

...

Devil City.

After Manager Ying confiscated dozens of the League’s World’s Rare Resources, it was said that her true form had awakened.

Although her true form had awakened, Manager Ying’s true form had never shown up, claiming to be adjusting her state.

If it weren’t for her avatar’s presence, the League would have almost thought she had fled.

Under further communication, Manager Ying agreed to spar with a master from Xia Country soon to reassure the Twelve Branches.

"Am I the one to go?"

In the end, the master the Twelve Branches decided to send was Ugly Cow Niu Youtian, who was one of the Beast Trainers in the Twelve Branches with the most distinct personal combat style. All his contracted pet beasts were dedicated to augmenting his strength.

Before becoming a Beast Trainer, his career was quite notable: he was a wrestler, so he had a very robust physique.

Now, faced with the mission given by acting chairman Lin Nian, he asked: "Why me?"

"Weren’t you always eager to spar with the Totem Guardian God of the Youxiong Family?" Lin Nian said. "Although that panda refused you, Manager Ying is also an ancient creature. Take it as a compromise."

Niu Youtian was dissatisfied.

Could that be the same thing?

Pandas and cats, the difference was substantial.

"Never mind." He rubbed his hands together eagerly. Since ancient creatures had revived so long ago, he had never sparred with one. He wanted to see what difference there was between ancient creatures and the bosses of Secret Realms.

On the outskirts of Devil City.

Ugly Cow VS Manager Ying.

Quite a few members of the Twelve Branches had come to watch. After investing so many resources to wake Manager Ying, if this cat was not good enough and couldn’t handle the Black Dragon, then when the Senior Chairman came back, the attending Twelve Branches feared for their lives.

They would definitely be crushed by the Senior Chairman.

Although this old man didn’t like to manage affairs, he still valued the development of the Xia Country’s Beast Training domain.

Resources had to be used where they mattered most.

In an abandoned factory, some of the Twelve Branches sat on telegraph poles that had fallen, some stood on rooftops, some floated in the air...

Ugly Cow, dressed in casual clothes, eyed a white plush cat avatar that had appeared in a flash, raising his eyebrows.

"Cat trafficker, what’s the deal? Isn’t your true form a Nine-Tailed Cat? Where is your true form? What does it mean to send an avatar?"

"Ha~~" Manager Ying yawned and said, "My true form has awakened, and for me, there’s no distinction between true form and avatar now—every avatar is the true form. As for the nine-tailed state, it’s too draining. Let’s see if you can force it."

"?" Ugly Cow looked at the arrogant little cat, twisting his nose.

"Enough chit-chat," Lin Nian intervened. "Manager Ying, you know Ugly Cow’s strength well, and the Black Dragon’s power is much greater and stranger than his. So now it’s your turn to show us."

"Besides Ugly Cow, there will be another unknown opponent who is as proficient in Dark Power as the Black Dragon; your job is to defeat them easily," Lin Nian added.

"Piece of cake." Manager Ying glanced at the Twelve Branches present, her expression relaxed and unconcerned.

At the same time, Ugly Cow snorted, and his body began to transform. Horns grew on his head, and his body swelled in size to the height of several meters, turning into a massive, muscular man...

This was clearly a fusion skill.

Afterward, a set of reddish-black armor, along with a flash of light, covered his body.

It was a kind of beast training technique that transformed a pet beast into armor, which a Beast Trainer could wear at will to enhance their strength!

But that wasn’t all; Ugly Cow reached out his hand, and a black sledgehammer, also accompanied by a flash of light, appeared in his grasp.

This was another beast training technique, one that could transform a pet beast into a weapon!

One could say that during the battles of the Xia Country’s twelve branches known as Ugly Cow, it was uncommon to see what his contracted pet beasts actually looked like, because his skill configuration ensured these pet beasts were all mere attachments to his own person!

At the same time.

Green Sea.

The scenes from the abandoned factory were all being streamed live, allowing Lu Ran and Shi Jialiang to see everything.

Inside the frame, a cow warrior of immense strength swung his hammer towards Manager Ying.

This strike contained so much: energy compression, the power of intent, and all sorts of attributes and talents of the pet beast, all layered together.

A blow that struck the ground might have been sufficient to topple the buildings of a town, but astonishingly, this strike on Manager Ying’s crafted psychic shield was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without stirring a single ripple.

"This cat’s spiritual power intensity is definitely far stronger than Lin Nian’s pet beasts by a considerable margin, even with Lin Nian’s enhancement, it’s nowhere near matching it," Shi Jialiang noted seriously upon observing this.

"Manager Ying seldom brags; she always underestimates her own strength and rarely overstates it," Lu Ran understood Manager Ying quite well.

"It’s your turn to provide assistance now," said Shi Jialiang. "Just relying on old cow, he’s definitely going to be nothing but plaything for it."

"I feel like it’s useless... but let’s try," Lu Ran shrugged.

Right after, Shi Jialiang witnessed a scene he would never forget for as long as he lived.

Across Green Sea City, a vast number of crows simultaneously took to the sky, creating a black mass that seemed like a river flowing toward the afterlife, yearning for the Abyss as it streamed towards Jade Mountain’s airspace.

The number reached one hundred thousand extraordinary crows, gradually sketching out a terrifying figure...

This figure reminded Shi Jialiang of the ancient creatures he had seen ravaging human cities abroad...

No, its presence was even stranger, more sinister, and more formidable than theirs.

"Crow God," Lu Ran called out, and the being Lu Ran referred to as the Crow God slowly turned its gaze towards Devil City.

[Is it really possible??]

Though the distance between Green Sea City and Devil City wasn’t enormously vast, Shi Jialiang was certain that no creature on Blue Star could currently launch an accurate attack across such a great distance.

The sheer skill depletion during the journey was enough to give anyone a headache...

However, soon enough an incredible scenario unfolded before Shi Jialiang’s disbelieving eyes. He leaned closer to the laptop screen, taking in a deep breath as he watched the live feed.

Because in no time at all, within the screen, one after another, dark red pupils were opening in the void, focusing on the ongoing brawl between Ugly Cow and Manager Ying.

The arrival of the "Eye of the Evil God" made everyone at the site’s pupils constrict, and both Ugly Cow and Manager Ying quickly picked up on the abnormality.

"This is..."

Seeing these familiar pupils, Manager Ying’s expression changed. She was leisurely inside the psychic shield; the cow warrior’s attacks had been utterly ineffective against her, regardless of whether she easily dodged using spatial techniques or directly resisted using psychic power—she had not broken a sweat at all.

Manager Ying had been waiting for the appearance of the master of the Dark Attribute mentioned by Lin Nian, all the while teasing the cow warrior, but she didn’t expect that the so-called master of the Dark Attribute would turn out to be Lu Ran and the unfortunate Dark Crow.

"Old cow is no match for this cat, and even when old cow attempts to use his Domain, it gets disrupted by the cat’s superior mastery of space," she thought.

"And this cat hasn’t even activated its own Domain yet."

At this moment, those from the twelve branches had come to believe in the power of Manager Ying’s original form awakening; even Gu Qingyi was amazed, having not expected Manager Ying to be so powerful. However, without a doubt, they still wished to see the limit of Manager Ying’s power.

They had all been looking forward to the appearance of the master of the Dark Attribute that Lin Nian had talked about.

A part of them was curious about the identity of this so-called master of the Dark Attribute.

After the "Eye of the Evil God" appeared, their reaction was the same astonishment as Manager Ying’s—they hadn’t expected the person mentioned would be Lu Ran...

But what surprised them even more came afterward.

"These two damned things!!!" Within the psychic shield, Manager Ying cursed, momentarily panicking. She wasn’t particularly afraid of facing a powerful opponent, but what worried her more was facing an opponent with a bizarre kind of power.

Because in her many years of existence, Manager Ying had never delved deeply into the Power of Curse, nor had she encountered such an opponent before.

If she had such knowledge, she would have cured Shi Zhen’s curse long ago.

"It should be okay, right?" Manager Ying swiftly entered Air Concealment State while continuing to protect herself with a psychic shield, yet...

The Racial Talent of the Dark Crow was Enemy-Locking. Once locked, there was no escaping it.

Subsequently, under the solemn gaze of everyone, the white plush puppet inside the psychic shield began sprouting red fur emitting an ominous aura.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that these weren’t actually red hairs but rather resembled the red pappus of dandelions!

"Caw, caw!!" In Green Sea, blood streamed from the Crow God’s eyes, and in front of it, the sky filled with red dandelion pappus began to disappear—this was the unique plant curse developed by the Dark Crow after experiencing the plant Secret Realm instance.
