The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 469 - 286: The Name of the Fourth Generation, On Par with the First Generation_1

Chapter 469: Chapter 286: The Name of the Fourth Generation, On Par with the First Generation_1

The commotion surrounding the Black Dragon event finally concluded with the dragon being sealed away.

Many beast trainers who followed the incident fell silent in front of their screens, swallowing hard repeatedly.

"So strong."

Level 70, a high-level overlord, belonging to the dragon clan, an ancient creature—this creature’s BUFFs were simply stacked to the max.

Yet, such a formidable being was effortlessly suppressed by an intelligence cat. Before this, beast trainers from Xia Country could never have imagined that their nation possessed such a profound foundation.

Those who had patronized the Neko Maid Cafe, even the staff of the cafe, watched the Nine-Tailed Cat on the screen with disbelief.

Is that really Manager Ying?

Of course, even though the Black Dragon is now sealed, it still doesn’t put some people at ease.

"It’s not slain, but sealed. What if the Black Dragon breaks free from the seal? Generally, sealing is only used on powerful creatures that are difficult to kill or defeat... This is just a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

Someone posted online.

"Afraid of what? Didn’t Manager Ying say the Black Dragon couldn’t break the seal for at least a year? I trust her. Although it’s an exaggeration to say that a dog from the fourth generation of beast trainers could easily kill the Black Dragon after a year, by then, there must be someone from the first generation stepping into the legendary realm, right?"

"Trust in the wisdom of ’the later generations’!"

"You mean the people a year from now?"

Online, the debate continued unabated.

"Calm down! So what if it breaks the seal? If it can be easily sealed once, why can’t it be sealed twice?"

"With frequent sealing, it’s the same as permanent sealing!"

"Imagine, by the time it sees daylight again, it will be surrounded by dozens of pet beasts even higher in level than itself... hahaha."

"..."

"I’m just worried that other life forms from the Dragon Palace might try to save the Black Dragon and actively break the seal." Some voiced their concerns as well.

Having such a terrifying creature sealed near Devil City is like burying a nuclear bomb next to your front door.

Eventually, it won’t just be sea beasts—many powers that are hostile towards Xia Country will want to have a hand in it.

"Life forms from the Dragon Palace? Didn’t you notice that when the Black Dragon invaded, dozens of advanced sea beasts gathered along the coast, but in an instant, they were annihilated by Godly Lu’s Twin Ravens, turned into piglets! Drowned! Even if you gave those remaining sea beasts from the Dragon Palace several guts, they wouldn’t dare come over! Fuck, speaking of which, how badass is Godly Lu. What just happened? I’m only now processing it..."

The beast trainers from the coastal regions revisited the shocking scene in their minds, still struggling to describe their feelings.

After evolving his Sword Domain Dog, Lu Ran disappeared without a trace for a month, leading everyone to deduce that he must have entered the Breakthrough Secret Realm.

But now, even if he has emerged from the Breakthrough Secret Realm, as a level three beast trainer, Lu Ran’s pet beasts could only be up to level 40 at best.

How on earth did a level 40 Twin Ravens annihilate enemies of entire cities with a single thought?

This fearsome curse made many beast trainers feel that Lu Ran’s Twin Ravens were even more terrifying than Manager Ying, even more so than the Black Dragon.

After all, even they probably couldn’t accomplish such an extraordinary feat.

Particularly foreign beast trainers, upon receiving various reports, were overwhelmed, failing to comprehend how a fourth-generation could be the central figure in a city-destroying disaster.

Admittedly, Lu Ran is an epoch-making super-genius Beast Trainer, but that’s potential. The truth is, a level 40 Twin Ravens, if converted, wouldn’t even match the comprehensive strength of a level 60 Sovereign Pet Beast owned by a member of the first generation. Faced with this situation, several of the first generation in the coastal cities of Xia Country wouldn’t dare claim they could resolve it perfectly, yet Lu Ran managed to perfectly suppress the disaster.

"What kind of abnormality is this?"

The heads of intelligence organizations from various countries were about to explode.

However, after looking deeper into Lu Ran’s profile, it wasn’t difficult to deduce how he had boosted the Twin Ravens’ combat power.

According to the intelligence, Lu Ran once passed a legion-type Legendary Secret Realm alone at the second-level beast trainer stage. This completion would undoubtedly bring legion-type beast training techniques or attributes to Xia Country, a pet beast legion, a tactic of defeating the strong with the weak... concentrating the power of countless pet beasts into one.

If it’s through legion techniques, then it would make slightly more sense that Lu Ran’s Twin Ravens could unleash such terrifying power.

In Divine Ancient City, a female beast trainer who deeply followed the Black Dragon event, upon seeing various speculations online, felt excited because she had seen with her own eyes Lu Ran retrieving his pet beast from among the crows a few days earlier.

As the Dark Crow demonstrated its divine might, Xia Country’s recent crow migration incidents were brought up again. Only then did people realize that these crows weren’t harbingers of disasters but were secretly protecting Xia Country from behind the scenes.

This was particularly exhilarating for the residents of Green Sea City, as they were accustomed to the crow patrols over Green Sea. Now, seeing their city’s Guardian God become the guardian of the entire country, they were filled with immense pride.

"This guy, sneaking around again..."

"This kid..."

"Godly Lu is absolutely incredible."

Of course, Lu Ran’s participation in the Black Dragon event was kept from his acquaintances to avoid worry. He only discussed the details with those of the first generation. People like Fang Lan, Mr. Jiang Dou Sr., and the Lu Family Village Team discovered the news of Lu Ran’s Twin Ravens showing their divine might without any prior knowledge. Upon seeing the news, they all exhaled deeply to some extent, their emotions mixed.

This time, what Lu Ran accomplished wasn’t just about breaking records with his potential; it was a true demonstration of frightening power in "combat," or rather, "war."

Forget about Youxiong Anlin and the Princess of Light, his contemporaries from the Golden Generation, domestically and internationally—even some of the strong players from the first generation were frantically twitching at the corners of their mouths.

No matter what power Lu Ran used, his contribution to this battle could definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with the first generation, even by the name of the fourth generation. Even those from the first generation couldn’t have done better.

"Luckily, legion techniques rely on a large number of pet beasts and can only show their strength on Blue Star. They cannot be brought into Infinite City..."

If my Pet Beast Legion can go to Infinite City to harvest resources, then Lu Ran would be simply unbeatable.

And at this moment, while the whole world was discussing Lu Ran, he and the Dark Crow were still scouting the coastal situation.

It wasn’t until they had confirmed that no Sea Beast from the Dragon Palace appeared again that Lu Ran and the Dark Crow finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You’ve done a good job, I’ll ask the League to add a chicken leg for you later,"

Lu Ran said cheerfully while standing on the Dark Crow.

"Yay."

The mood of the Dark Crow Guardian God was also very good.

Growth Level: Twin Ravens (Flock Form)

Growth Level: Level 61

First, they had gathered more than a hundred thousand elite Crows, and then Xia Country’s resource bank fully opened up to this flock of Crows. In a short period of time, there wasn’t a single Crow below Level 20, and a few with particularly good Talents reached Level 40 after being nurtured with World’s Rare Resources by both Xia Country and Lu Ran, on par with the Dark Crow.

Such a high-quality, massive legion bumped the Swarm Form of the Dark Crow past Level 60, higher than that of the First Generation King Beasts.

Actually, the only reason it wasn’t even more terrifying was due to the lack of time; otherwise, the Dark Crow’s Flock Form could have become more formidable.

After all, because they needed to ensure that the Deer Horn of God retained enough energy for today’s use, there was simply no chance to let the Dark Crow bestow its eyeballs upon some talented elite Crows.

Otherwise, Lu Ran felt that even without the World’s Rare offerings provided by the Pig God, the Flock of Crows could still wipe out a whole group of enemies with their own strength plus the power of the Deer Horn.

"How’s the situation now?"

Soon after, Lu Ran received a call from Devil City, indicating that the situation there had also begun to stabilize.

On the phone, Doctor Gu was concerned about the situation on Lu Ran’s side.

"Is the Dark Crow’s condition okay?"

"It’s fine, thanks to the Deer Horn of God, there wasn’t any big issue," Lu Ran reassured.

"Anyway, mission accomplished. All the Sea Beasts that entered Xia Country’s waters from the Dragon Palace have been cursed to death. Next, the local Beast Trainer Association can take care of salvaging the resources," Lu Ran said with a smile.

"What about you all?"

"The situation here has stabilized as well. That Black Dragon really couldn’t break Manager Ying’s Seal Domain," Gu Qingyi responded. "After being sealed, the Black Dragon kept launching attacks from within the seal, using all sorts of methods, but to no avail. According to Manager Ying’s perception, given its condition, it would take over a year to break the seal, but..."

"But what?" asked Lu Ran.

"But Manager Ying said that releasing this Seal took a lot out of her, and it would take a couple of years to recover without a lot of World’s Rare Resources. With them, she could ensure that even if the Black Dragon breaks the seal, she could still seal it again..."

"Otherwise, once the Black Dragon breaks free, Xia Country would have to deal with it on their own."

Lu Ran was silent, feeling that Manager Ying was also sort of blackmailing, yet he couldn’t find fault with her reasoning; a Territory Technique that could seal a Level 70 Dragon King for a year would indeed be a huge drain, so Manager Ying’s claim of great expenditure seemed irrefutable.

"A year is enough. By then, not to mention you, the Senior Chairman, I reckon even Mr. Husky could take down that Black Dragon in a second," Lu Ran declared.

Gu Qingyi: ?

"Did you also watch the live stream?"

"What live stream? I’ve been coordinating with the Dark Crow to scout the sea area."

"No problem then," thought Gu Qingyi inwardly, "Manager Ying knows you too well."

"By the way, we said before that after taking care of the Black Dragon, we’d extract its Dragon Blood and Dragon Soul to provide Evolutionary Resources for your Pet Beast. Now that the Black Dragon hasn’t taken the bait and we can only end with a seal, we’ve lost those resources," Lu Ran suddenly remembered something and was filled with regret.

Gu Qingyi was speechless; with the Black Dragon issue resolved, who cares about Evolutionary Resources?

"It doesn’t matter. Now that the Dragon Palace is leaderless, hunting other dragons at the bottom of the sea is just as good."

"As I see it..." Lu Ran said, "don’t rush to evolve your Sea Blue Dragon. Cultivate other Pet Beasts for now. Your Sea Blue Dragon has fused with a Dragon Pearl Fragment, and that Black Dragon most likely absorbed a fragment too. Using it as an Evolutionary Resource would undoubtedly be a perfect fit for your Sea Blue Dragon."

"I think even if we wait for half a year, it will be worth it. Once the Beast Trainers of Xia Country are strong enough to hunt the Black Dragon, then consider evolving your Sovereign Dragon Beast."

"Make thorough preparations and take advantage of the second stage of the Evolutionary Secret Realm to try and evolve a High-Level Overlord just like the Senior Chairman did."

"Hmm?" After hearing Lu Ran’s suggestion, Gu Qingyi pondered for a moment before replying, "We’ll see. We’ll discuss it when the Senior Chairman returns. In any case, we won’t deliberately release it until we have the strength to kill the Black Dragon King instantly."

Lu Ran shrugged and quipped, "Hmph, Doctor, if you don’t reserve it, I bet there are plenty who are coveting the corpse of the Black Dragon King. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."

Gu Qingyi: ...

"What about you?" asked Gu Qingyi.

"Me?" Lu Ran said with a deep gaze, "The Black Dragon isn’t important anymore. Next, I’m planning to collaborate secretly with the Tortoise Chancellor inside the Dragon Palace to take over the Dragon Palace! Doctor Gu, would you like to join me? The resources in the ocean are incredibly abundant! Far more precious than the Black Dragon itself!"

"All it takes is courage, the ocean is my home!"

Gu Qingyi: ???
