The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 507 - 318 Reincarnation of the Flame Emperor_1

Chapter 507: Chapter 318 Reincarnation of the Flame Emperor_1

Lu Ran spoke of a legend that even the Seventh Princess, born into the Royal Clan, had never heard of.

She had thought that no Legendary Beast Trainer had ever been born among Humans simply because no one possessed the necessary talent and potential, constrained by lifespan limitations.

After all, the longest-lived human barely spanned a few hundred years, which was too short compared to some extraordinary races.

When everyone’s Level was almost the same, why should humans have such a short lifespan?

Now, hearing Lu Ran say that Humans might be cursed by the Legendary Species in terms of potential, the Seventh Princess suddenly felt there might be some truth to it.

"I’ll ask Father about this after I return."

At this moment, Lu Ran was showing off the secrets he knew in front of the Royal Clan. The more he revealed, the higher the Clan’s interest in him would definitely be.

One could say that for a chance to encounter a Semi-Legend Pet Beast, Lu Ran was going all out.

As the two conversed, Yan Yinying reported the situation to her father, Yan Feng. Upon hearing it, Yan Feng’s heart sank.

He knew that once the Royal Clan witnessed Lu Ran’s talent, there would be some reaction.

"They must not fight!" Yan Feng hurriedly said, "Wait, why did you come here alone? Where are the others?"

"King of Sudden Death and Her Highness the Seventh Princess are waiting for me there," Yan Yinying replied.

"How did I end up with such a foolish daughter?" Yan Feng felt even more helpless. Isn’t this just creating an opportunity for them to be alone together? If you waste any more time, they’ll have asked Lu Ran what color his underpants are.

At this point, Yan Feng was already aware of Lu Ran’s true potential.

Not only was he the first person in hundreds of years to have his Flame Spirit revert to a level comparable to that of the ancestor, Yan Sizhen.

He also had remarkable culinary potential, having personally nurtured a Middle-Level Overlord Dragon King.

Such talent placed within the Imperial or Royal Clan would undoubtedly be among the best few, and he would surely become a legend in the future.

If Lu Ran felt a great sense of belonging to the Flamery and had grown up within it, then it wouldn’t be a problem.

However, Lu Ran, after all, was an outsider and had not fully integrated into the Flamery yet.

If his talent and potential were fully understood by the Royal Clan, and Emperor Yun Hao suddenly granted him a marriage or an official position as a bribe, that would be troublesome.

Lu Ran, who just came to the Imperial City, might not be able to resist the temptation. In that case, he would jump from the Flamery’s chariot to that of the Royal’s.

"Why are you scolding me!" Yan Yinying was not satisfied and said, "What could I have done?"

Yan Feng, not in the mood to deal with her, set off himself. Seeing this, Yan Yinying briskly followed, and before long, the two of them arrived where Lu Ran and the others were.

"My dear niece," greeted Yan Feng.

"Uncle Yan," Lu Ran replied politely.

Seeing the Seventh Princess and Lu Ran chatting merrily, Yan Feng wiped sweat from his brow and said, "Yinying tells me you’d like to have a friendly spar with the King of Sudden Death?"

Yan Feng also glanced at the innocent-looking "King of Sudden Death."

"Yes, I’d like to witness the combat application of Emperor Yan Sizhen’s Flame Spirit Technique," said the Seventh Princess.

"Let’s not fight," Yan Feng said helplessly. "My dear niece, you are already a Level 5 Beast Trainer, while the King of Sudden Death is just Level 3. Just let him show you the Flame Spirit embodiment, that will suffice. Fighting is too dangerous, and tomorrow is the ceremony for him to recognize his ancestors and return to the Clan. If he gets injured, it could affect the ceremony." He emphasized to Lu Ran that the Seventh Princess was already a Level 5 Beast Trainer and that the outcome of the fight would affect tomorrow’s ceremony!

"What does the King of Sudden Death think?" Master Yan Feng turned his gaze to Lu Ran.

Ancestor Yan Xiao had already promised to let Lu Ran train with the Lava Disaster Beast, which was an extremely rare opportunity. If Lu Ran were to be defeated by the little Princess of the Royal Clan before the ceremony and before training, it would affect his standing in the Flamery to some extent and might also lead to dissatisfaction among other young members of the Flamery.

After all, the chance to train with the Lava Disaster Beast wasn’t available to every Beast Trainer of the Flamery.

However, despite Yan Feng’s obvious hint, Lu Ran seemed unconcerned.

"It’s okay, Uncle Yan, I won’t use my trump card. It’s just a friendly exchange, not meant to determine a winner or loser," stated the Seventh Princess with a light smile.

"A Level 5 Beast Trainer, huh?" Lu Ran said. "On my way to the Imperial City, I just killed a scheming Level 5 Beast Trainer who crossed my path. The Flame Spirit Technique of Ancestor Yan Sizhen is very strong, scaling levels in battle is not a problem at all."

Yan Feng: ?

Seventh Princess: ?

"Dammit," Yan Feng thought furiously. Is this kid really clueless or just playing dumb?

The Seventh Princess, too, twitched at the corner of her mouth, feeling as if Lu Ran was challenging her outright.

Although Lu Ran had great aspirations, wanting to defeat a Legendary life to carve a path for the future of the Human Race, he was currently only a Level 3 Beast Trainer, and it was wishful thinking to defeat her at his current stage.

"You... Well, alright then," Yan Feng conceded, finding no other solution. He shot Yan Yinying a covert glare before suggesting, "Let’s go to the Clan’s dueling field and have a simple exchange. The fight should stop when a point is made. I’ll oversee the entire thing to prevent any accidents."

Whether it was the Seventh Princess getting hurt or the "King of Sudden Death," both scenarios were equally troublesome.

...

Soon enough, Yan Feng had an arena cleared and kept lookie-loos away to avoid attracting too much attention to the fight.

In the eyes of the core members of the Yan Emperor Family, they naturally welcomed Lu Ran’s return to the Clan, as his Flame Spirit was of high strategic value. But among the younger generation, many were not so pleased, for Lu Ran’s return inevitably meant competition for Clan resources, and it would overshadow their own achievements.

Opportunities like training with the Lava Disaster Beast were pretty much snatched by Lu Ran when he displayed his potential to the other family members.

"Let’s keep the fight 1-on-1," the Seventh Princess suggested confidently at the dueling field, her robe fluttering. With her royal heritage, having trained with the National Guardian Beast and guided by multiple Legendary Beast Trainers, she was quite confident in her Beast Training combat skills. Even if Lu Ran had inherited the Flame Emperor’s Beast Training Technique, she felt she could easily handle him.

The Flame Spirit’s prowess was in culinary arts and forging, enhancing the strength of the Empire through cooking and blacksmithing.

In Beast Training combat, however, there were many skills even more powerful than the Flame Spirit, and the Seventh Princess had mastered some of them herself.

"No problem," they agreed, and then began summoning their Pet Beasts for the duel.

Taking into account that Lu Ran’s Level was lower than her own, it wouldn’t be good to overwhelm him with her trump card, so the Seventh Princess indeed sent out a Level 43 Pet Beast, which should be a secondary beast.

Species: Wind Demon Emperor

Attribute: Wind, Dark

Species Level: Middle-Level Overlord

Growth Level: Level 43

This was a tiger-shaped Pet Beast, with white fur and dark patterns, flying through the sky with its massive dark wings, and a huge character for "emperor" etched on its forehead, exuding an imposing and domineering presence.

Even as a secondary beast, it still belonged to the Middle-Level Overlord Species. Lu Ran could only marvel that she truly was a princess of the Royal Clan.

On Lu Ran’s side, naturally, he sent out the true King of Sudden Death. The massive Dragon King of the Shield-Wing slowly descended in front of Lu Ran, its eyes containing lightning looking towards the opponent, also bringing a strong sense of oppression to the other side.

"Roar!!!!"

The King of Sudden Death roared.

Overlord Dragon Might was completely revealed, immediately causing the Seventh Princess to reveal a look of great surprise.

"Overlord?"

"Overlord?" It was not just her, Yan Yinying beside her was also greatly surprised. No wonder Lu Ran had said that he had once killed a Level 5 Beast Trainer above his rank.

It turned out that Lu Ran also had an Overlord Pet Beast! Moreover, it was of the Dragon Clan!

She turned to her father, who wasn’t too surprised, and asked, "Father, did you already know about this?"

Master Yan Feng was speechless; now, it wasn’t just them who knew—following this, even the Royal Clan would be aware that Lu Ran had a contract with a Middle-Level Overlord from the Dragon Clan.

A Level 3 Beast Trainer with no background from the Imperial or Royal Clans contracting a Middle-Level Overlord, this was actually beyond what could simply be described by the making of legends.

"Interesting."

At this moment, the Seventh Princess was very interested and wanted to witness Lu Ran’s strength.

"Tiger Emperor’s Roar!"

She immediately issued a simple command, allowing the Wind Demon Emperor to use its deterrence.

"Roar------------"

The Wind Demon Emperor tensed its body in midair, opening its Abyssal Giant Mouth and letting out a terrifying roar. A surge of pressure instantly bore down on the King of Sudden Death.

The tangible coercion formed a tiger-shaped phantom in the sky.

Boom.

The King of Sudden Death took a step back, then also erupted with intense Dragon Might.

In the sky, a giant dragon phantom likewise appeared.

The two powerful deterrent forces in midair squeezed against each other, piercing a large hole through the clouds above.

Crack crack crack.

The ground surrounding the dueling arena also began to show fine cracks.

However, to the dumbfounded Lu Ran, during the clash of auras, the King of Sudden Death actually fell into disadvantage.

The King of Sudden Death took another step back with a somewhat grave expression on its face.

Seeing this, Master Yan Feng slowly said, "The deterrence of this Dragon King is strong, but with the enhancement of the Beast Trainer’s royal bloodline, it’s very difficult for a beast to lose in a clash of auras."

"Not bad...now use Flame Spirit."

The Seventh Princess stood opposite with her arms crossed over her chest, appearing quite at ease.

"Its deterrence comes with my enhancement; it’s somewhat unfair for you not to use Beast Training Techniques."

"Then Princess, you... better be careful."

Lu Ran began to stretch out his hand, flame spreading over his palm, directly applying Flame Spirit onto the King of Sudden Death.

"Roar roar roar roar!!!"

With flames engulfing it, the King of Sudden Death seemed even more ferocious as it roared. The Flame Spirit gradually formed a layer of Flame Dragon Armor on its body, as if transforming it from the appearance of the Dragon King of the Shield into another kind of King of the Dragon Clan!!

It glared with fiery red eyes and stretched out its pitch-black wings.

The strong body began to be covered with red-hot flame scales, the fiery red interwoven with dark black, like the incarnation of Purgatory.

Its domineering dragon eyes glanced at its opponent, and deep red flame whiskers fluttered with the wind.

Feeling the escalating Dragon Might of the King of Sudden Death, on the other side, the Wind Demon Emperor maintained a calm demeanor. However, when the might of the Flame Dragon King contained in the Flame Spirit and the innate Thunder of the King of Sudden Death fused, the deterrence of thunder and flame intertwined. Under the overwhelming power of the Thunder Flame, the aura of the King of Sudden Death suddenly became extremely fierce and terrifying!!!

"Roar!!" The Wind Demon Emperor and the Seventh Princess suddenly changed their expressions, and with a "crack", it seemed as if space shattered. The Emperor’s authority was suddenly crushed by the Thunder Flame Coercion, the wave of deterrence shattering like a mirror. The violent deterrence hurricane rolled towards the Wind Demon Emperor and the Seventh Princess, blowing them off their feet, unable to stand in place.

The Seventh Princess blocked with her arms, her whole body being blown backwards as if by a violent storm. Seeing this, Master Yan Feng was taken aback and quickly intervened. Yan Yinying too showed a shocked expression, not understanding why, after being enhanced with Flame Spirit, Lu Ran’s Pet Beast erupted with such terrifying strength.

Only Lu Ran knew the principle behind it; during the process of practicing in his training domain, he had refined Flame Spirit to a very high level. Furthermore, the fusion of the Dragon Might of the Flame Dragon King and the Thunder Dragon was a very dangerous move. Fortunately, the King of Sudden Death could withstand this load. If it were an ordinary Thunder Dragon, it probably would have been overwhelmed by the backlash before even affecting the enemy.

It should be known that the Thunder Flame Dragon Might could even touch upon Mr. Husky’s Semi-Legendary pressure. Competing against the deterrence bolstered by a princess was naturally not a problem.

"Princess, are you all right?" Master Yan Feng caught the Seventh Princess, and seeing her pale face, he immediately asked.

"No, I’m fine." At this moment, the Seventh Princess was emotionally turbulent. She raised her head to look at the Thunder Flame Dragon King opposite and Lu Ran behind it. She took a deep breath, never expecting that she would lose in the clash of deterrence against a Level 3 Beast Trainer.

She looked towards the figure of the King of Sudden Death and Lu Ran, her vision slightly blurred, somehow feeling that this pair resembled the depiction of Emperor Yan Sizhen and the Flame Dragon King fighting side by side within the Imperial City.

"Impressive...is this the rebirth of the Flame Emperor." At this moment, she also had to admit that the Flame Spirit of the second phase was incredibly powerful.
