Chapter 577: Chapter 369: The King’s Return, Divine Seat Competition!_1

Although Gu Qingyi and Fang Lan were both baffled, after Lu Ran’s explanation, even learning that the Senior Chairman was going to join, they were reassured.

Since he could even cultivate Legendary Divine Beasts, inheriting an Imperial Jade Seal and rebuilding a Beast Training Empire was hardly any issue.

Despite the fact that they were about to be pulled into hard labor, both Gu Qingyi and Fang Lan found it quite interesting and even asked Lu Ran if they could get a promotion if they did well.

Clearly... both women were not satisfied with the ministry positions Lu Ran offered and wanted even higher positions.

"Greedy, too greedy!!!"

In response, Lu Ran shook his head helplessly. This was already a position second only to the highest, among the Six Paths and Eight Divisions; apart from the Six Paths, the Eight Divisions were the greatest. If they went any higher, what would happen next? Did they want to become empresses?

Of course, Lu Ran would not agree...

"First give Doctor Gu and Fang Lan a heads-up, so they’re mentally prepared..."

"Definitely not going to send them to Amazon now..."

"Next, both Six-Path Flower and I will head to the Star-Moon World. With their strength, they won’t be able to keep those Ancient Overlords of Amazon in check. Everything has to wait until I return from this trip..."

Lu Ran opened his mouth slowly, and with a flick of his imperial robe, he went to get blood samples from Principal Shi Zhen.

...

Once all was finished, Lu Ran returned to where the Cross-border Teleportation Array was located.

Before departing, he inquired about how much longer the Divine Deer planned to stay, but unfortunately, the Divine Deer had no immediate plans to leave Blue Star. Therefore, Lu Ran had to go on this Star-Moon journey alone.

Without the Divine Deer covering for him in the Star-Moon World, he had to be careful, then even more careful.

...

Star-Moon World, the Second Continent, Faux Sleep Forest, underground altar.

Lu Ran and Manager Ying returned once more. The Pine God guarding this place cracked open an eye, saw it was the two of them again, showed no interest and continued to rest.

Manager Ying and Lu Ran, seeing that the Pine God was uninterested in dealing with them, didn’t disturb the old creature and left on their own.

During this time, Manager Ying fiddled with a mobile phone and said, "Hey, Lu Ran, your senior sent me a message a few days ago inviting us to watch the ’Divine Seat Competition.’"

"We’re back just in time, the competition hasn’t started yet."

"Divine Seat Competition?"

"What’s that?" Lu Ran tilted his head.

Manager Ying replied, "It’s a super event within the Beast Trainer community of the Star-Moon Federation, only open to Legendary Beast Trainers."

"The strongest Beast Trainer will be awarded the title of ’God’s seat.’

"Hmm, it’s somewhat like the title matches in Blue Star’s Go, such as Tianyuan, Meijin, Kisei, and so on."

"In essence, this Divine Seat Competition is a gathering of masters, with many legends participating. Bai Lu wants us to go and learn something."

"Let’s not go, we don’t have the time," Lu Ran shrugged.

"This Divine Seat Competition is being held in Infinite City, which is very convenient. It wouldn’t hurt to watch," Manager Ying said. "God’s seat, Leader, Elf King—these three titles currently represent the highest level of Beast Training in the Star-Moon Federation. You are bound to run into them in the coming World Struggle. Observing their battles in person is far more valuable than paper information."

"God’s seat: represents the highest level of Beast Training under the competition rules of Star-Moon, with Pet Beasts nurtured to a level near the gods by the Beast Trainer."

"Mechanical Leader: signifies the highest level of Mechanists in the Star-Moon Federation. He might not be the strongest in single combat, but the Mechanical Leader has mechanical military power, excels at machinery legion warfare, and also has the final say over some forbidden weapons that can intimidate Legendary creatures, which are sealed by the Star-Moon Federation."

"Elf King represents the highest level of Plantmasters; it’s said that she received blessings from the deity of nature, which belongs to the now-extinct elf race, during her breakthrough in the Secret Realm. Innately close to nature, she possesses a natural dominion over Plantmastery."

"Although this Divine Seat Competition isn’t over yet, it’s almost certain that the previous God’s seat will successfully defend and retain the title."

"According to my intelligence, if Bai Lu, Death Gun, and Kong Kongyi are the three most potential and closest to becoming Legendary Beast Trainers in the Star-Moon Federation, then the God’s seat, Mechanical Leader, and Elf King are the ones among the Federation’s Legendary Beast Trainers most likely to break through to the epic-level Beast Trainer before the World Struggle."

After hearing Manager Ying out, Lu Ran fell into thought and said, "Three Beast Trainers close to Level 8, three Legendary Apostles, if it weren’t for Liu Hua, I would have very little confidence."

"I don’t know the more specific rules of the World Struggle yet, but if it’s 1-on-1, Blue Star is in trouble."

"If it’s a ring match, do you want to fight 10 at a time?" Manager Ying looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran grimaced.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. I am going to Infinite City now. Manager Ying, you should stay outside for a while."

Manager Ying was stunned, suddenly remembering that he couldn’t enter Infinite City now, which meant he couldn’t accompany Lu Ran to watch the competition.

"Damn it."

"How about we skip it and go straight to the Divine Deer’s mission?"

"Not going."

"? Why go over so early when the Divine Seat Competition starts a day later? You might as well go to the Endless Sea first!"

Lu Ran glanced at Manager Ying and said, "Of course, I’m going to try out the Legendary Secret Realm first!"

"Wait for me."

"Meow meow meow?" Watching Lu Ran’s disappearing figure, Manager Ying huffed angrily.

...

Star-Moon Infinite City.

Lu Ran arrived at the room exclusively for the Beast Training King.

Inside, the room’s style was completely identical to the exclusive space in Blue Star Infinite City. Lu Ran headed to the Secret Realm pillar familiarly and started browsing. He quickly flipped to the page of the Legendary Secret Realm.

There are a total of twelve Secret Realms.

Lu Ran summoned the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower, which looked around the room and said, "Shall we start the challenge now?"

"What, do you need some time to prepare?" Lu Ran asked.

"That’s not necessary," said the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower. "By helping many extraordinary plants awaken their Spirit Intelligence, I have accumulated a lot of good karma. Engaging in a period of high-intensity combat shouldn’t be a problem."

"OK, then I’m going in. Let’s see if this Divine Dog of Wind is as formidable as they say!"

[Name]: Wind God Mountain Range

[Level]: None

[Difficulty]: Legendary

[Secret Realm Introduction]: The main habitat of the Wind Dog race, one of the three major canine races of the Star-Moon World, where the Divine Dog of Wind, a Legendary Divine Beast born among the Wind Dog race, is also the god of faith for the Wind Dog race.

The Divine Dog of Wind is the God of Wind and a guardian deity, dedicating its life to protecting the Wind Dog race. Whenever there’s something to protect, its "courage" gets infinitely amplified. It once engaged in a fight to the death with a Legendary Divine Beast stronger than itself to protect the Wind Dog race.

Should the object of its protection be damaged, it would bathe in an explosive surge of energy, awakening its wild instincts, and devour the bones of its enemies completely.

(Divine Dog of Wind, Wind Attribute, Lower Legend Species, Growth Level consistent with the challenger’s.)

"Among the twelve Legendary Secret Realms, the Beast Trainers of the Star-Moon World, driven by curiosity, have challenged each of them."

"Although no one has ever completed a realm, the information they brought back is very valuable."

"The current introduction to the Secret Realm is not comprehensive. According to the information obtained by Manager Ying, the favorite food of the Divine Dog of Wind is bones, and apart from the Power of Wind, it also controls the Power of Bone Veins, which allows it to manipulate its own bones for combat... Its bones are harder than metals and rocks."

"In addition, it can control the bones of its enemies through contact, directly pulling their bones out."

"We need to be particularly careful of this," Lu Ran spoke again, and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower remained expressionless beside him.

"You’ve said that I have no bones," stated the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower.

"You don’t, but I do," Lu Ran said. "Once we’re in there, please summon a Wood Asura immediately and let me hide inside for protection, thank you."

"Even with the Divine Deer Pendant, I don’t fancy experiencing the sensation of having my bones pulled out."

"Especially since there’s a chance they might get eaten by a dog afterward."

"Got it, got it, go ahead!"

"Then... let’s march!"

...

[Would you like to enter the Wind God Mountain Range Secret Realm?]

"Yes."

[Please choose your Pet Beast for the battle. Once selected, your other Pet Beasts’ summoning will be temporarily sealed.]

[①: Sword Domain Dog; ②: Dragon King of the Shield-Wing; ③: Twin Ravens; ④: Disaster Spirit; ⑤: Six-Path Reincarnation Flower.]

"⑤, Six-Path Reincarnation Flower."

"Hold on, isn’t this a limitation? If I choose another Pet Beast, will the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower be able to use Limit Removal to undo the restriction on being summoned... and turn this into a fair two-on-one fight?" Lu Ran murmured to himself.

But Infinite City seemed to ignore him.

[Selection complete, beginning teleportation...]

The next moment, an infinite halo enveloped Lu Ran and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower, and they instantly felt the world spinning as they were teleported to an unknown location by a powerful force of space.

[Teleportation complete.]

[Current location: Wind God Mountain Range]

[Difficulty: Legendary]

[Challenge Task: Defeat the Divine Dog of Wind.]

No sooner had the announcement finished than Lu Ran and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower still felt a bit dizzy. In that moment, they appeared like shooting stars, seemingly teleported from the Tianqiong.

Boom!!!

Lu Ran and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower, transformed into twin stars, crashed heavily from the starry sky onto a mountain range!!!

Rumble!!!

The violent collision left Lu Ran and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower utterly unable to control their descent, but they suffered no harm. As the loud roar subsided, they felt as though everything around them had been devastated by the impact!!!

The environment, life... everything...

When Lu Ran and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower opened their eyes, standing amidst the ruins, the next moment they sensed a terrifying and powerful presence approaching!!!

This presence was filled with boundless rage, immensely frightening.

"So this is how it starts?" said the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower.

"Yeah, it starts by framing us with a big black pot, provoking the Divine Dog of Wind by destroying its protected land, triggering its fury. Infinite City sure knows how to play," Lu Ran said.

No sooner had he spoken.

The sky seemed to darken as a figure leaped up, eying Lu Ran and the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower under the moonlight, fixated.

It was immensely large, covered in white fur with the wild body of a wolf, its yellow-green vertical pupils captivating, with two black wind stripes below its eyes and above its forehead. The Power of Wind emanating from its body encircled it like black traces!

With an enraged howl, it swung its claw, and in an instant, a black Wild Wind tore through the atmosphere!
