Chapter 517: Chapter 326: Breakthrough, Fourth-Level Beast Trainer!_1

"But speaking of which, this guy’s body is so freakishly adaptable, it’s probably related to that ’Super Beast Mimicry,’ right?"

After completing his task this time, Lu Ran directly chose to break through to the fourth level of a Beast Trainer, and during this period, the powerful aura that leaked from his body astonished the Six Paths Flower in the contract space.

It felt as if a Monarch Species of Evil Beast was breaking through, no, even stronger than that. It wasn’t just an ordinary Monarch, but rather a King of Kings.

Moreover, the thought that both his Good and Evil Sensing and Good and Evil Strengthening talents had been learned by Lu Ran made the Six Paths Flower feel rather sulky.

"Haha..."

Lu Ran’s laughter came through, and as the Six Paths Flower watched Lu Ran, who was self-admiring and self-stroking, it closed its eyes.

[Race]: Human

[Beast Training Level]: Level 4

[Beast Training Techniques]: Super Beast Mimicry, Flame Spirit, Soul Reinforcement, Affiliation

[Skills]: Psychic Sensing, Blizzard Sword Intent, Flame Dragon Sword Intent, Mind Sword Intent, Dragon Body, Super Vision, Underwater Survival, Domain, Good and Evil Sensing, Good and Evil Strengthening

Following Lu Ran’s breakthrough, there was no doubt that each of his Pet Beasts also broke through their bottlenecks.

However, it was regrettable that not one of his Pet Beasts, be it Mr. Husky, King of Sudden Death, or Dark Crow, exceeded level 45.

Clearly, at level 40, they had leveled up too quickly, resulting in a lack of sufficient foundational accumulation.

[What a pity, the affiliation skill remained unchanged.]

Lu Ran had wanted to see if his affiliation skill would level up along with his breakthrough, but unfortunately, it was still limited to one Pet Beast contract affiliation.

He wasn’t disheartened though; in fact, he was quite satisfied with this adventure, having gained both Good and Evil Sensing and Good and Evil Strengthening.

The Six Paths Flower, being Semi-Legendary, directly provided Lu Ran with two powerful skills. Actually, Lu Ran didn’t feel like he had done much. He guessed that his rapid ability to mimic the Six Paths Flower might be due to Psychic Sensing.

Good and Evil Sensing was inherently a mental ability, so it allowed Lu Ran to acquire Pet Beast talents with great convenience during the process.

"My brain can be thrown away now."

"With Good and Evil Sensing, there’s no need to blindly guess who harbors good intentions and who harbors ill will towards me."

"Not necessarily."

As Lu Ran muttered to himself while taking out the Time Acceleration Inheritance Crystal, the most challenging situations were actually those where people genuinely wished you well, but due to their own limitations in understanding and experience, their methods and advice might not truly benefit you.

Good and Evil Sensing, when faced with such situations, would consider it a major issue, so Lu Ran picked his brain back up again.

At the same time, he crushed the Time Acceleration Inheritance Crystal in his hand.

"Hm?" At that moment, the Six Paths Flower opened its eyes again, extending its perception outward, and said, "Time Attribute?"

Feeling the powerful temporal fluctuations released by the Time Acceleration Inheritance Crystal, the Six Paths Flower showed a surprised expression.

"He actually has a time-type inheritance as well."

"True to the Divine Deer Emissary’s reputation, he has a lot of good things."

At this time, it was Lu Ran’s turn to close his eyes.

The Six Paths Flower, at this moment, couldn’t help but ponder its own path.

Now, limited by the oppressive rules, although it only had a Grass Attribute and hadn’t evolved into a Space-Time dual attribute, it had already grasped the Intent of Space-Time, as well as the Intent of life and death, through the power of intent.

Its application of related powers was not much worse than that of Pet Beasts that possessed the corresponding attributes.

However, the Six Paths Flower felt that just relying on this to break through to Legendary was still not quite enough.

The reason why it stayed in the Beast Training Empire was that the Six Paths Flower had another idea.

To fully incarnate the Six Paths, to create a domain that enveloped the Beast Training Empire, to set up a Six-Path Reincarnation System, to judge the good and evil of lives purely based on their actions before death, and to make the lives within its domain undergo reincarnation between the heavenly path and hell path continually.

Itself as the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower, harvesting the power of human faith in good and evil to confirm its path to Legendary.

In this way, even a low-level Legendary would not be its limit.

But unfortunately, with the broader World Rules constraints, the Six Paths Flower felt that its idea was unlikely to succeed.

It looked towards Lu Ran, who was receiving the inheritance, wondering if temporarily teaming up with Lu Ran might be able to break the currently awkward situation.

"Indeed I can learn it."

[Beast Training Technique]: Time Acceleration

[Introduction]: At its current effect, a Beast Trainer can use this technique to accelerate the growth of their Pet Beasts and the effects of their skills.

Lu Ran digested the Inheritance Crystal and showed a look of joy. At that moment, his skill list was immediately augmented with Time Acceleration, and his mind was filled with the relevant experience, indistinguishable from directly absorbing a Skill Card.

This reminded Lu Ran of the reward he had just received, the Inheritance Crystal.

Both, it seemed, were the same kind of thing.

Lu Ran had not expected Infinite City to really provide an inheritance-type item, and it was of epic-level no less. Could it be that after a level 3 Breakthrough Secret Realm, achieving an SSS class rating gave one a chance to receive epic-level resource rewards?

Lu Ran was utterly overjoyed.

By now, he no longer cared what Infinite City’s purpose was in nurturing Beast Trainers. Just with Infinite City being this generous, even if later on Infinite City arranged for the Beast Trainers he cultivated to invade other worlds and become villains, he, Lu Ran, would absolutely be at the forefront.

Apart from the Inheritance Crystal, he found the reincarnation Beast Training Technique and the Trait Crystal for breaking limits astounding.

The rewards from the Breakthrough Secret Realm still correlated with the breakthrough tasks and the experiences of the Beast Trainer, making Lu Ran glad he hadn’t just picked a random Lava Disaster Beast to bluff his way through, opting instead for the extreme.

[Reincarnation... does it have something to do with the Six-path Reincarnation? This technique is indeed a good one.]

Lu Ran saw the Reincarnation Technique, and his first impression was that it didn’t seem much different from Necromancy Resurgence; both essentially gave a second life to Pet Beasts.

However, compared to Necromancy Resurgence, it could also preserve the body and reset the Growth Level to zero, which was quite impressive.

Even so, Lu Ran felt that the use of the Reincarnation Technique was not to wait until a Pet Beast died unexpectedly to use it.

It was rather... manual reincarnation.

For example, if this skill were given to the First Generation, they would surely be ecstatic.

Because according to the settings of Infinite City, a Pet Beast could evolve every 30 levels, if Lu Ran were to sacrifice his Level 90 Semi-Legendary King of Sudden Death and send it to reincarnate, and if after reincarnation, it was still of the Semi-Legendary Race, then wouldn’t that mean it gained 3 more rounds of evolutionary opportunities?

By that time, it would be as if one were deleting their account to retain the race’s attributes and re-level from scratch, gaining another chance to strike at a higher realm...

[Breaking limits... Another skill related to the Six Paths Flower that breaks limiters.]

The Six Paths Flower, under the constraints of world rules, had broken those rules and become a Semi-Legendary level plant life.

This amounted to a Talent.

Such Talent, amongst all life forms, would probably be among the top.

Now, Infinite City was like it had extracted this talent for breaking limiters from the Six Paths Flower.

Considering the use of the Breaking Limits Talent, Lu Ran pondered for a moment and felt it was a universal Talent that could greatly assist any Pet Beast in making a legendary breakthrough.

He wondered if fusing this talent with the Six Paths Flower would still enhance it...

Pity he was not a Pet Beast himself, otherwise Lu Ran would have liked to use it on himself.

[What are you daydreaming about?]

As Lu Ran got lost in the barrage of sweet promises from Infinite City, the Six Paths Flower, seeing that Lu Ran had been dazed for quite a while, couldn’t help but urge him to answer.

Breaking through a level, yet still standing there foolishly.

"No... I’m sensing the new Beast Training Technique I’ve just learned."

Lu Ran regained his composure and said, "Time Acceleration... I’ve just learned a new Beast Training Technique called Time Acceleration."

"It can speed up the growth and skill effects of a Pet Beast. How impressive is that to you, Beast Trainer?"

[ (ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~ ]

Lu Ran felt the disdain from the Six Paths Flower and snorted softly in his heart.

Little flower, you dare to scorn? Wait until you’re back to Level 1 and you’ll see how good this skill is!

Just wait for the 99 to revert to 1.

"Six Hua, how about we counterattack the Four Great Beast Empires now?"

Seeing there were still 9 days left, and having received his own rewards, Lu Ran began to think about the resources of the Four Great Beast Empires and the Beast Training Empire.

Indeed, Time Acceleration could speed up the growth of Pet Beasts, but it does not allow them to grow out of thin air.

In the end, it still comes down to resources.

It just meant the speed at which Pet Beasts absorbed food and transformed it into Growth Level was increased.

[Sure, which one should we go after first?] asked the Six Paths Flower.

"Let me think."

Lu Ran began to recall the situation of the Four Great Beast Empires.

Currently, the Four Great Beast Empires, that frequently triggered beast tides and attacked the Beast Training Empire, are the Ape Man Empire, Feather Demon Empire, Crocodile Empire, and the Hundred Beasts Country.

The Kings of Evil Beasts of the Four Great Beast Empires, the Ape God, the Master of Feather Demons, Crocodile Ancestor, and the Tiger Monarch, are all high-level Overlords above Level 90.

In comparison, Xia Country’s Level 70 Black Dragon King seemed much weaker.

"Sister Hua, you’re sure you can beat them all, right?"

"They should have quite a few minions; let’s not get ourselves stuck there..."

The Six Paths Flower revealed a speechless expression and said, [Are you looking down on me?]

"Of course not," Lu Ran said. "Then the first target will be the Ape God. I’ve heard that among the Four Great Beast Empires, the Ape Man Empire is the most brutal. They delight in cooking and eating humans, tormenting them to death..."

Lu Ran and the Six Paths Flower left without informing anyone.

Because Lu Ran had a premonition that if he told the Flamery or Emperor Yun about his advance to the frontlines, they would definitely not let him go alone.

To avoid having a hindrance following him and slowing down his monster-hunting speed, Lu Ran chose to travel by himself!

Moreover, the target of Lu Ran and his company was very direct: they were heading straight for the main camp of the Ape Man Empire, intending to take down the enemy nation’s BOSS first.

Catch the thief, catch the king first!

However, as they traveled onward with a clear target in mind, passing through an area of conflict still made Lu Ran stop for a moment.

This city had already failed its defense; the soldiers of the Beast Training Empire were utterly scattered; various ape-like Evil Beasts rampaged through the city, looking like a living hell.

Of course, what caught Lu Ran’s attention the most was the fact that this place was very familiar to him.

"Beast Training Empire, Tianlan Province, Ningchuan."

From high above, Lu Ran even saw a shattered tavern with its swaying sign about to fall off, labeled Frost Moon Tower.

It happened to be the tavern where Lu Ran first broke through a Secret Realm and entered to learn the Culinary Art.
