Chapter 488: Chapter 302: Top Ten Beast Training Kings of Blue Star_1

This month is the month for Beast Trainer battles.

Not all challengers from every country are like Lu Ran, who needed to develop for a bit longer.

Once the League challenge matches began, they started plundering resources one after another.

In the meantime, Lu Ran, as the focal point of the League challenge match, had not been heard from again.

Everyone knew that this strongest fourth-generation Beast Trainer was definitely preparing aggressively for the League challenge match.

Sigh...

Twenty-something days passed by.

A figure with a weathered face emerged from the Relic Space.

Because he had boasted in front of the Senior Chairman, Lu Ran dared not to take it lightly.

One reason was for the resources promised by the Senior Chairman, and the other was for his own pride.

Having wrought so many miracles on Blue Star, Lu Ran was now standing high.

Although this challenge was a bit difficult and not quite fitting for a Beast Trainer of his level, Lu Ran certainly did not want to fail.

Thus, during these days of preparation, Lu Ran could say that he was training and cultivating his Pet Beasts with all his might, even more devotedly than before.

Over the twenty-something days, he hadn’t even gone for a haircut.

"So it’s you who came to pick me up."

In Green Sea City, when the time arrived, Lu Ran, seeing the appearing Manager Ying, said with a chuckle.

"Hey, hey, hey, how come you look like a wild man?"

Manager Ying, seeing the unkempt image of Lu Ran, was speechless for a while.

"With a battle that cannot be lost, naturally one must prepare comprehensively..." What Lu Ran meant was that he had also participated in sparring with his Pet Beasts.

He, a superhuman who could use Domain, could certainly be considered a special force and would undoubtedly surprise strong enemies.

After all these days, both the Sword Affiliates, as well as the King of Sudden Death and the Dark Crow, had failed to comprehend Domain, which was quite regrettable for Lu Ran.

But he didn’t regret it too much.

Because if they didn’t know Domain, Lu Ran did.

When the time came, why not lend it to them for use?

So what if a fifth-level Beast Trainer had two more Beast Training Techniques than him? He would use Domain to enhance his Pet Beasts directly!

"It seems like you’ve been working quite hard," said Manager Ying with a tsk: "That’s right, you’ve applied for a lot of resources from the association recently, if you perform poorly, the Senior Chairman will definitely beat you up."

"Hehe," Lu Ran laughed: "That definitely won’t happen."

If Manager Ying could see the information on Lu Ran’s Mr. Husky Contract Card right now, she would surely be astonished by the current configuration of Lu Ran’s Pet Beasts!

[Species]: Sword Domain Dog

[Attribute]: Wind, Ice, Space

[Species Level]: Middle-Level Overlord

[Growth Level]: Level 40

[Affiliation]: Sword Spirit (Level 40), Sword Grass (Level 40)

These two affiliates could not be upgraded through the arena, but that wasn’t a big problem; Lu Ran quickly brought them up to Level 40 with resources provided by the association.

Unfortunately, Lu Ran had thought Mr. Husky’s affiliates had a chance to exceed Mr. Husky’s level, but in the end, they were still restricted by the contract and could not level up any further. Otherwise, Lu Ran might have applied for even more resources.

However, all that didn’t matter anymore.

Because what gave Lu Ran the most peace of mind was that after Mr. Husky awoke to the Space Attribute at Level 40, his Species Level had actually improved.

The basic Species Level transitioned from a Lower Overlord to a Middle-Level Overlord.

The Space Attribute indeed was one of the most powerful attributes, capable of directly enhancing the potential of an Overlord level. However, Lu Ran also suspected it was related to Mr. Husky’s species, which had a significant connection to the Space Attribute.

Anyway, Mr. Husky, now awakened to the Space Attribute and coupled with two powerful affiliates, was extraordinarily formidable.

Lu Ran couldn’t wait to test his blade on the second-generation and first-generation beast trainers of other countries.

Although Lu Ran had been in arduous training these days, he was not completely cut off from the world; he had been keeping an eye on the League challenge match.

The first twenty days were just some small country’s Beast Trainers challenging, but they provided Lu Ran with a lot of intelligence and expanded his horizons not a little.

It’s worth mentioning that after more than twenty days of challenges, the best record currently is only passing the fourth level.

No one has passed the fifth level yet, having the status of a second-generation and defeating the first-generation guardians, which made Lu Ran even more eager to see whether he could be the first one.

"Alright, pack up, we should get going. The day after tomorrow is our challenge," Manager Ying said.

At this moment, Dean Qin Ming and President Youxiong had already gone to Antarctica to watch the battles in person.

And to prepare in Infinite City.

Besides, with the Relic Space available, Lu Ran had been staying in Green Sea the whole time, mainly to conveniently monitor the growth progress of the Dark Crow Legion and the Xuan Turtle.

Over these days, with the help of Fang Lan, the majority of the Dark Crow legion had successfully switched to cultivating the Poisonous Attribute.

The Thousand Poison Mother Tree was indispensable in this process. After specializing in the Poisonous Attribute, the Dark Crow’s control over its mass transformation and curses experienced a qualitative leap. The power of the poison curse could directly wipe out the enemy’s life, becoming even more brutal.

As for the Xuan Turtle, thanks to the amplification from the Dragon’s Stele and the assistance from the Dark Crow, it also became a vassal of the deep sea. It even helped Lu Ran obtain the first piece of World’s Rare Resources—a Colorful Meteorite Fragment.

Indeed, the Xuan Turtle had snatched a fragment of the Nine-Colored Meteorite in the deep sea. However, Lu Ran did not immediately collect it but first let the Xuan Turtle carry it to level up.

Lu Ran felt that there weren’t many kings as conscientious as himself...

Next, accompanied by Manager Ying’s escort, Lu Ran embarked on his journey to Antarctica. Although Lu Ran could have gone by himself, given the extraordinary gathering of countries at this time, providing him with a bodyguard was somewhat necessary.

...

Antarctica.

League City.

Despite its extremely harsh environment, the International League still managed to build a super international metropolis here with the power of Pet Beasts.

Upon learning of Lu Ran’s arrival in League City that day, Dean Qin Ming, President Youxiong, and Councillor Zheng from Xia Country, who had always been stationed in League City, immediately began to receive him.

Councillor Zheng, also a retired first-generation leader from Xia Country, primarily handled affairs for Xia Country in the International League after stepping back from frontline combat. There were many like him; every country had a bunch of people who lived and worked at the League headquarters all year round.

This time he was responsible for the reception work of Xia Country’s challengers.

Although Councillor Zheng’s position was not low, he was always very courteous and personally received the likes of Dean Qin, President Youxiong, and Lu Ran each time.

"Professor Lu, Manager Ying," Councillor Zheng warmly welcomed the arriving Lu Ran and Manager Ying, saying, "We have prepared a welcome banquet here and have also invited Dean Qin and President Youxiong..."

After exchanging pleasantries with the others, Lu Ran immediately followed their arrangements and enjoyed the special delicacies of Antarctica with Manager Ying and the others.

In the banquet hall, as every word spoken by those dining could become confidential information, there were no outsiders.

Dean Qin Ming, President Youxiong, and Lu Ran were already somewhat familiar with each other. Once the Beast Trainers met, they immediately began talking and laughing.

"Godly Lu, you’ve arrived so late; it seems you were preparing secret weapons," Dean Qin said with a chuckle.

"Not sure if you’ve been following the Guardian situation of the International League Challenge Match, do you need information?" President Youxiong asked.

"Youxiong, that’s a redundant question," Councillor Zheng laughed as he looked toward Manager Ying and said, "With Manager Ying here, how could Professor Lu possibly lack information."

"Tch, it hasn’t asked me anything; it’s not my business, you guys chat, I’m going to grab something to eat," Manager Ying muttered, uninterested in mingling with this group of men and casting her gaze towards the buffet prepared for them.

Such extravagance.

These guys, they definitely can’t finish it all.

She had it arranged.

"I’ve got a rough idea from the live broadcast, just not sure if there’ll be any backstage manipulation within the League." Lu Ran responded quietly.

"Indeed, we need to be wary of that," Councillor Zheng said seriously, "Although monitored by various countries, the League Challenge Match still has undercurrents to this day. If something unusual happens during the match, my advice is to prioritize safety and abandon the match if necessary."

"Dealing with battles involving the first and second generations, it’s hard to control the power. These days, there have already been quite a few casualties. Many Pet Beasts died directly on the field, and there have also been Beast Trainers who died due to severe injuries."

Dean Qin Ming, Youxiong Anlin, and Lu Ran exchanged looks, and Dean Qin said, "We’ll be careful. In the second-generation battle, we won’t be instantly killed, as long as the Guardian of the fifth gate isn’t a first-generation Overlord of the top ten kings or something."

"That won’t happen," Councillor Zheng smiled and said, "First-generations of the level of the top ten Beast Trainer kings would definitely be barred from competing."

"Right." Lu Ran picked up a glass of juice, sipped it, and asked, "Focusing on the League Challenge Match, what’s the progress with the World Battle."

President Youxiong said, "It’s the same as before, the top ten winners remain unchanged, nobody can beat them."

"Ah~~ I feel like it’ll be these people in the end," he said helplessly.

"Those guys are indeed freaks." Dean Qin Ming also shook his head slightly: "Each of these ten has reached the pinnacle of the world in a certain domain."

"They’ve all now risen to Level 6 Overlords, and each has an Overlord Beast, and that’s just the basic."

"Some have cultivated Energy Flow Techniques to the point of being the world’s strongest."

"Some have cultivated Energy Release Techniques to the point of being the world’s strongest."

"Some folks have Superpowers at the world’s highest level... I’m not talking about Lin Nian, Lin Nian’s telekinesis is strong, but the guy from India is more outrageous; his superpower is mental manipulation, capable of using Spiritual Hypnosis to coerce ancient creatures to serve him, even capable of hypnotizing the opponent’s Pet Beasts, and while his killing power isn’t as high as Lin Nian’s, his superpower ranks higher than Lin Nian’s telekinesis in the domain."

"You could say that in terms of Race, Territory Techniques, Energy Release, Compression, Shaping, Flow, Superpowers, and individual combat power of Beast Trainers... each of these ten has at least one domain in which they are unmatched by others, and their representation as the world’s strongest level of Beast Training is beyond dispute."

"Truly majestic," Dean Qin Ming admired with longing.

Though he was Xia Country’s strongest second generation, he definitely still fell short in comparison to the top ten of the world.

"Is the world record for energy compression still held by that tough guy from the Snowy Plains Country?" Lu Ran asked.

Dean Qin Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but reportedly, after his ace evolved into an Overlord species, he’s managed to master energy compression to over 40 times."

"Hard to imagine... the destructive power of a skill from a Level 60 Overlord Beast, combined with a 40-times energy compression technique, could it destroy a city?"

Lu Ran sipped at his juice through a straw, 40 times... it seems he had underestimated these first-generations.

But this record, once the League Challenge Match was over, he reckoned that it wouldn’t last, Mr. Husky would take it away...

"Damn..."

"Damn. Lu Ran, check the International League forum quickly!"

As they were chatting, Manager Ying, who was eating, suddenly expressed excitement.

"Hm?"

Following what Manager Ying suggested, Lu Ran took out his phone, opened the International Beast Training forum, and indeed immediately found a hot topic related to himself.

Seeing the hot topic, Lu Ran was instantly taken aback.

Because the content of the topic was striking: [Say, do Lu Ran’s Twin Ravens count as one Pet Beast or two? When Lu Ran sends out the Twin Ravens to fight, would the League consider him to be breaking the rules? Haha.]

The post sparked heated debate, and Lu Ran fell silent for a moment, having only considered Mr. Husky and the Affiliation, not even the issue with the Dark Crow.

But the key was that someone else had already asked the League beforehand, and the League officials had indeed responded.

[The Twin Ravens are a special case of split evolution, essentially still one individual. As long as the Pet Beast can be collected and released by the same Contract Card, it conforms to the rules.]

Lu Ran: ?

"Who is this person? I feel like after the match ends, the League is surely going to fire him." From afar, only Lu Ran knew why Manager Ying was laughing so wildly.
