Chapter 492: Chapter 305 The Thickness of the Shield, Reassuring..._1

"What’s with this guy!"

On the field, Lu Ran and the Dark Crow were calm and composed.

Their opponent writhed pitifully like a pig.

This turn of events was something that nobody had anticipated.

Admittedly, the first barrier could be the easiest among the five, but Lu Ran’s Guardian was supposed to have legendary potential as a Third Generation.

Yet, he was defeated in such a sorry state.

It seemed like they hadn’t even caused Lu Ran and his team any real trouble.

"Useless!"

At a high platform somewhere, Chairman Pari of the Divine Eagle Federation looked sombre.

Although he didn’t expect Lu Ran to be defeated in the first barrier, that Leon was too useless.

"That’s the tricky part of 1v1 rules..."

Dr. Haidun, who had hoped to see Lu Ran embarrassed, took a deep breath and shook his head.

1v1 battles also put the Beast Trainer’s level to the test.

Because if a Beast Trainer could use many Pet Beasts, some could specialize in attack, others in support, and yet others could primarily protect the Beast Trainer... In that case, the Beast Trainer wouldn’t really have any weak points.

But in a 1v1 situation, it really tests the Beast Trainer’s ability to cultivate their Pet Beast.

Training a Pet Beast to both assault the enemy and protect the Beast Trainer is exceedingly difficult.

Clearly, the combination of Leon and his Ice Feather Crown Bird had significant flaws. During the battle, the Ice Feather Crown Bird simply couldn’t protect its Beast Trainer in time.

And Leon, the Beast Trainer, didn’t possess much foundation to resist the curse from the Dark Crow.

Not like Lu Ran, who could arm-wrestle his opponent’s Pet Beast using his own combat power.

When comparing the two, the original generation powerhouses who were spectators at the scene could immediately discern the gap between them.

"That Flame Energy just now..."

"It was compressed at least 30 times..." Some sharp-eyed First Generation members found it incredible.

Even though the previous world record of 30 times energy compression was broken by many skilled First Generation individuals after the full onset of the Beast Training Era, Lu Ran was just a Fourth Generation.

If that technique had been used by Lu Ran’s Pet Beast, it wouldn’t be surprising, as that Pet Beast could have had a powerful Racial Talent and with the vast healing resources provided by Xia Country, it was not impossible.

But for Lu Ran, a mere human, to achieve this... Aside from his Flame Spirit Technique, what other special Beast Training Techniques had he mastered! How could his physical body endure such an Energy Level? How could he have such a high mastery over energy manipulation?

Clearly... this strongest Fourth Generation, was definitely an existence without any weaknesses.

"Godly Lu is amazing..."

In Xia Country, people who were initially upset with the foul play against Lu Ran, were now surging with excitement.

The Flame Sword Qi that had just knocked out the Ice Feather Crown Bird was too cool. Worthily the heir to Emperor Yan Sizhen’s Beast Training Technique, Godly Lu made his opponent look like a piece of cake—such a weak rival!

Nobody thought that Lu Ran’s individual fighting power would be so fierce, that he could contain a Monarch of over Level 40.

Under the watch of the whole world, Leon was carried away and Lu Ran’s next opponent, the Guardian of the second barrier, emerged silently from the passage.

It was Chris from Maple Leaf Nation!

This brownish-red haired young man felt a bit embarrassed.

Although he thought he was much stronger than that Leon, what if something unexpected happened and he too was turned into a pig? That would be humiliating on a global scale.

However, to everyone’s shock, once Chris stepped out, Lu Ran immediately retracted the Twin Ravens into the Contract Card!

"He’s not deploying the Twin Ravens now?" Chris felt elation in his heart.

"Didn’t that Twin Raven hardly exert any effort in the first round, merely casting one curse?" Some were perplexed by Lu Ran withdrawing the Twin Ravens.

"Is it possible that the Twin Ravens, under normal circumstances, aren’t as strong as we imagined? If I recall correctly, Lu Ran’s Twin Ravens primarily developed their Legion skills. When they fought against the Sea Beast, the world discussed it. In a 1v1 match, its strongest Core Skill has been restricted, so its combat power might not be the strongest among Lu Ran’s Pet Beasts..."

"Lu Ran must think that the Twin Ravens can handle a Third Generation without any problems, but he may not be as confident against a Second Generation with legendary potential. In comparison, the Medium Level Overlords of the Dragon Clan, or a Lower Overlord Sword Dog that controls the Domain, may have a bigger chance to win!" Some speculated.

"Of course, it could also be just a simple retraction. After all, if the opponent knows he’s still deploying the Twin Ravens, they might send out a counteracting Pet Beast specifically. If the opponent can’t know in advance which of his three main forces Lu Ran is deploying, they can’t target 100% accurately!"

As the audience speculated, Lu Ran heard parts of their conversations, for he had excellent hearing.

All he could say was that they were all overthinking it.

It was purely to give his three main forces a bit of the spotlight, seeing as they had all trained arduously for so long.

Otherwise, relying on the Dark Crow alone, he would have pierced through three, or even four barriers. What then for Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death?

"Challenger: Lu Ran from Xia Country."

"Guardian: Chris."

Then, the referee, also swallowing a mouthful of water, announced that the challenge would continue.

In the next instant, Lu Ran summoned his Pet Beast again, and the Guardian on the other side, with a resolute expression, summoned his own Beast Pet!

"Woo————"

In the Summoning Formation atop the arena, on one side was a giant fox with an immaculately proportioned body, snow-white fur, a stern expression, and a long tail that whipped through the air.
