Chapter 484: Chapter 298: The Old Man and the Dog_1

Lu Ran naturally wouldn’t let Yun Bao go to battle in the seas right now.

Though fast, its level is still too low.

However, now that it has the Roc Transformation, it should have no problem leveling up quickly.

As long as Lu Ran frequently takes it to initiate peak-level 1V1 competitions, its level will definitely catch up to Mr. Husky and the others without any issue.

Next, Lu Ran started letting Yun Bao focus on mastering the Roc Transformation as its main training content, feeling quite satisfied.

Since the Roc Transformation consumes too much energy, currently Yun Bao can only sustain it for a few minutes. It still needs to keep refining this ability before it can be truly effective.

Lu Ran planned to challenge strong opponents and level grind with Yun Bao once it could handle transforming for 10 minutes.

For the time being, Lu Ran delved back into the Necromancer Secret Realm to cultivate both the Artifact Spirit and practice Sword Field with Sword Spirit and Sword Grass.

This training content was extremely important. If the Sword Spirit and Sword Grass could learn the Sword Field, they could then attempt a triple unity Combined Sword Domain with Mr. Husky.

If Lu Ran mastered the Sword Field, then he could teach King of Sudden Death and the others through Reverse Beast Mimicry.

So, Lu Ran worked particularly hard.

He was even willing to spend heavily, using his resources.

Two days later, the Divine Pet List rewards were distributed again, and Lu Ran received three more World’s Rare enhancement cards.

If it were any other Beast Trainer, they would likely use these many World’s Rare enhancement cards on their Pet Beasts to improve their strength.

But Lu Ran had his own way of doing things. Just like with the two previous World’s Rare enhancement cards, he invested all of them in himself.

He further enhanced three World’s Rare Clear Spirit Fruits and kept them all for himself to consume.

After two meals, Lu Ran flaunted his consumption of five World’s Rare resources that enhanced enlightenment.

In such a scenario, it’s safe to say that he made a super investment. Indeed, hard work pays off. With multiple buffs like the Sword Spirit Possession, Beast Mimicry, and Enlightenment Intensification, Lu Ran finally touched the threshold of the Domain.

"Damn, this is so difficult————"

Lu Ran was convinced. According to Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. and the Divine Deer, he was also regarded as a dual genius in the Sword Dao and extraordinary cultivation.

Yet even so, he had spent a total of five World’s Rare Clear Spirit Fruits to practice to this extent.

For others, it would probably be even harder.

Now, Lu Ran stood in an open field, wielding the Sword of Wind and Thunder, panting heavily. He had finally grasped the embryo of the Domain, but he didn’t feel elated.

The price was just too great. Five Clear Spirit Fruits—it should be known that Mr. Husky understood it from just one fruit...

Man vs. dog, it’s enough to infuriate anyone.

"But am I considered the first human to cultivate a Domain?"

He wasn’t sure about the Star-Moon Federation, but on Blue Star, Lu Ran had never heard of any Beast Trainer who could release a Domain without combining with their Pet Beast.

But now, he had done it.

In a Domain filled with red land and red skies, where flames abound, Lu Ran stood still while two completely flame-composed oriental Divine Dragons emerged from behind him and soared upward, emitting earth-shaking dragon roars————

These two Divine Dragons had an imposing aura, but the most eye-catching part was that each dragon held a flame Divine Sword in its mouth. Both swords were simultaneously entwined with both dragon might and sword intent, continuously vibrating with the dragon’s roar.

Dragons bearing swords!

To expand his Domain, Lu Ran could only rely on the Flame Spirit’s extraordinary state.

Within this Domain, the temperature of the Flame Spirit drastically increased, gaining the ability to scorch space within the Domain and obtaining a special quality—so long as the Domain is not destroyed, the flame does not extinguish.

In this space, Lu Ran could create countless eternal sword-bearing Divine Dragons as projections of his power to attack the enemy.

Most importantly, Lu Ran’s Domain had a special characteristic. Similar to Manager Ying’s Domain, after creating it, Lu Ran could leave the Domain and let the Flame Spirit become the core of the Domain, sustaining its existence.

He could observe from the outside as the Flame Spirit battled the enemy within the Domain.

No need to be like Mr. Husky, who had to be within the Domain to exert its maximum effect.

This effectively transformed the Flame Spirit into an entity that temporarily followed its host’s will and inherited its host’s power, capable of fighting on its own.

"Hm??"

In the Necromancer Secret Realm, as Lu Ran was still experimenting with the Flame Spirit Sword Field and basking in the joy of forming the Domain,

he completely missed the flicker of his sword in his hand.

Only when its vibrations grew more intense did Lu Ran react.

Looking at the Sword of Wind and Thunder in his grasp, Lu Ran was surprised.

"Could it be..."

He gently released his grip, and in the next instant, the World’s Rare Divine Sword, forged from Dragon King’s scales and Sword Dog’s sharp teeth, floated into mid-air, emanating an intense aura.

Hum!!!

In the next moment,

like the Corpse Dog before, the external materials of the sword disintegrated, shattered, and a sword spirit with black, red, and white patterns explosively emerged.

Species: Wind Thunder Sword Spirit

Attribute: Undead, Wind, Thunder

Species Level: Low Monarch

Growth Level: Level 12

Racial Talent: Sword of Guardianship (Beings with this talent possess heart electricity with self-awareness, can more sensitively sense external dangers, and actively defend themselves.)"Is it done?" Lu Ran looked at the floating sword spirit, a wave of joy washing over him.

This was the sword spirit he had forged for Mr. Jiang Dou Sr., a Guardian Sword. After being cultivated in the Necromancer Secret Realm for so long, both the Dragon King’s Shield and the Dragon’s Stele had shown no signs of life, yet this one had developed a spirit first.

Indeed, to nurture a sword spirit, one simply needs to keep slaying the undead. With the experience of cultivating the Winter Sword Spirit, Lu Ran wasn’t too surprised that he managed to nurture the Wind Thunder Sword Spirit first.

"Can’t wait any longer."

Now that the Sword Domain was complete, Lu Ran had no intention of staying in the Necromancer Secret Realm. He first sent the sword spirit to the Relic Space for Mr. Husky and the others to look after, and then he directly exited the Necromancer Secret Realm.

After informing the Pig God, he planned to leave Reaper Island.

Meanwhile, during this process, he issued a task to the Dark Crow.

"Dark Crow, this Dragon’s Stele hasn’t nurtured a spirit yet, but I’m out of time. Go take it to the Xuan Turtle for now; I’ll continue cultivating it when I have time."

"Ga! Received, my lord!" the summoned Dark Crow indicated there were no problems.

"No rush with the King of Sudden Death’s Dragon King’s Shield either—after all, even if it does nurture a spirit, it doesn’t have an affiliation slot for the time being."

"Next, we’ll return to Xia Country and split up halfway. I’ll go deliver the Wind Thunder Sword Spirit to Master, and you go deliver goods to the Xuan Turtle."

The Dark Crow’s eyes gleamed sharply, and the words that followed... it was time to prepare for the League challenge match.

...

Lu Ran’s journey home this time was very comfortable.

Riding atop the supersonic Yun Bao, which was flying at high speeds, Lu Ran fed it resources. With Yun Bao’s Nature Manipulation Trait, it absorbed the energy crystals formed from pure natural forces and recovered its stamina quite quickly, barely maintaining energy balance.

It didn’t take long before Lu Ran returned from Reaper Island to Jinling in Xia Country.

After landing outside the Prism Arena, Lu Ran wrinkled his nose. He couldn’t sense Mr. Jiang Dou Sr.’s presence inside the arena. He then looked towards the back mountain and also shook his head.

"I should’ve informed the old man sooner. Is he out or in Infinite City?"

He first called Master Jiang Dou, but no one answered the phone. Then he teleported to Infinite City, opened his friends list, and found an ID called "Elderly Sword Saint," sending a private message.

Passerby A: [Master, Master.]

After a while.

Elderly Sword Saint: [Hmm? Has the big brother been abducted by a demon?]

Passerby A: [Master, stop kidding around! I’m outside Prism Arena right now. Come out for a moment, I’ve got a surprise for you.]

Elderly Sword Saint: [!!! You young rascal is finally here to see me. Ow, the youth these days have no martial ethics, sneaking up to attack me. Er, not talking about you.]

Passerby A: [???]

Damn, what’s this old man doing.

At this moment.

Infinite City, Arena Three.

Inside the arena, a certain platform.

A fat man stood trembling, with a long sword at his neck. Its chilling coldness had turned his complexion pale.

The one holding the longsword was an old man with bird-like attributes. Although he had his wings folded, the audience could tell he was in a fusion state. Indeed, from the beginning of the fight, the old man had entered a fusion state, using a longsword to tackle the fat Beast Trainer and his Pet Beast on the other side.

"It’s over." The elder chuckled, but from the stand came a series of gasps.

"Holy crap, what’s the backstory of this old man? It’s one thing to become a Beast Trainer at his age, but his strength is so strong."

"Yeah, at his age, it’s fine if he normally does Beast Training, but he’s chosen fusion skills and physically fighting himself. Is he not afraid of back pain at night?"

"Did you guys see how fast his sword draw was? This gentleman couldn’t possibly be a Sword Dao master, could he?"

"Fat Brother is a top combat student from Beast Training University, yet he just lost like that."

"Our Federation’s chairman is also an old man, isn’t he! I feel like I’m witnessing the birth of the second Senior Chairman."

The audience was abuzz with discussion, while the Elderly Sword Saint laughed heartily as he stepped down from the platform and then disappeared from the arena.

At the same time.

Outside the Prism Arena, Lu Ran looked at Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. who came walking out of the arena and said, "You never seem to settle down, do you?"

"Hahaha! After becoming a Beast Trainer, I feel like I’ve regained twenty years of youth. Feels like I can still fight for another 20 years," Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. laughed aloud. "What’s up, you little Xia Country Guardian God? What brings you to see this old man?"

"I was worried you might take a fall, so I’ve brought you another pet beast to take care of you," Lu Ran said helplessly.

"Another one?" Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. was surprised. He already had one pet beast, a Golden Eagle, which was also a gift from Lu Ran. As for why a Golden Eagle, it was actually because Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. wanted to follow the path that Senior Brother Divine Sculpture Hero had not completed.

"Yeah, it’s a sword spirit, nurtured by a World’s Rare Sword. Initially at a low Monarch species level; its potential is just slightly inferior to those whelps bursting out from the Legendary Secret Realm," Lu Ran said with a slight smile.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. was shocked, he had never heard of such a pet beast. He said, "A sword spirit?"

"No, no," the old man rapidly shook his head, saying, "Such a top-grade pet beast, you should keep it for yourself, don’t think about me."

"Why don’t you contract it yourself?"

"I’ve already got one! Now both father and son have one!"

"Hmm?" Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. was once again startled, saying, "Is that so, your fourth pet?"

Lu Ran said, "Not exactly, I contracted it to Mr. Husky."

Master Jiang Dou: ???

Sword spirit contracted to a dog?

"Cough, that’s not what I meant..." Lu Ran said.
