Chapter 802: Chapter 428: The War of the World, Prelude_3

"I don’t like watching it live much; just watching on the screen is fine,"

"You don’t like it? You just don’t have the coins!"

"Never mind, I’m going to catch some sleep first. See you in 4 hours."

Outside, the Beast Trainers from Infinite City buzzed incessantly, while Lu Ran and the other planetary representatives turned their attention to the Evolution Crystal they had just acquired.

[Name]: Evolution Crystal (Bound)

[Introduction]: Can only be used on contracted pet beasts. Upon use, the pet beast’s abilities will get an all-around enhancement, and its Species Level will inevitably rise to "Semi-Legendary Level".

"Damn, it’s bound!"

Lu Ran couldn’t help but curse when he saw the effect.

Hearing Lu Ran’s voice, the four ancient Beast Trainers got a shudder, suddenly feeling a bad premonition. For some reason, they had a feeling that if this thing weren’t bound, it would definitely be turned over voluntarily.

"So that’s what a double round match means. Both Blue Star and Star-Moon Faction have to defend their arena once," Gu Qingyi said at that time.

"From the current rules, it seems the attacking side is at an advantage. They can pick Beast Trainers who can counter their opponent’s abilities and attributes based on intelligence, increasing the chance of victory. The defending side, however, has a set sequence for the order their players go into battle," Lin Nian said.

"But since it’s a double round, each side will take turns attacking, so it’s not really an advantage anymore."

"Is it our turn to attack in the first round? Who should we send out?" the Senior Chairman said, looking around, "Let’s wait and see who their first defender is before we decide."

"No need to wait," Lu Ran said at this point, "I’ll be the first one to attack."

"That’s not a good idea!" the Snow Maiden among the ancient Beast Trainers said, "Entering the battle too early will waste a lot of energy. It’s best to go into key battles according to the situation."

"It’s okay," Lu Ran said with a slight smile, "I want to test out my limits."

"Moreover, the new Beast Training Technique I’ve learned assures that I can go the distance."

The newly arrived ancient Beast Trainers were still worried about Lu Ran being the first to enter the fray—not necessarily a good move since aces should be kept in reserve. On the other hand, those familiar with Lu Ran, like Fang Lan and Gu Qingyi, were already suspecting... was this kid Lu Ran worried that someone else would steal his Trait Crystal?

After all, whoever first defeats the opponent would cause a Trait Crystal to drop from them.

And only by being the first to enter the attacking phase would one be completely assured of obtaining every Trait Crystal dropped by the opponents...

While outlandish, if it was Lu Ran, Fang Lan and the others seriously doubted that this was his thought.

The reward was too enticing.

While it couldn’t compare to the permissions, it was still highly attractive to the contending Beast Trainers.

Being representatives of two worlds, neither side’s pet beasts could be weak.

If there was an opportunity to obtain the abilities of the other side and add them to their own suitable pet beasts, it would certainly be an enhancement upon an enhancement.

"Anyway, we have 4 hours left. Everyone should rest up. Take this time to use the Evolution Crystal we just got and strengthen our powers!" The Senior Chairman commanded, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Following that, Lu Ran also exited the King’s Domain and returned to his exclusive room.

He took out the Evolution Crystal and then summoned Sword Grass, but he shook his head immediately after.

As expected, the Evolution Crystal couldn’t be used on pet beast Affiliations.

Although Sword Grass was the contracted pet beast of his own contracted pet beasts, in essence, they were not his contracted pet beasts.

This did not meet the usage standards of the Evolution Crystal.

"Why do we only have 4 hours to prepare for battle?" Lu Ran sighed. If he had more time, he could have forged a Beast Training Space Contract with the Sword Grass, then strengthened it to a Semi-Legendary level, and immediately after, he could have terminated the contract. This way, not only would Sword Grass be augmented, but he would also have time to rest, as terminating a contract brought side effects.

Although, without terminating the contract it could still work, but then Sword Grass would no longer be Mr. Husky’s accessory Affiliation. If he were to summon both Mr. Husky and Sword Grass into battle at the same time, that would count as using two Contract Slots.

Not worth it.

A Semi-Legendary Sword Grass would indeed be strong, but still not enough to surpass King of Sudden Death, Dark Crow, or Liu Hua.

As an Affiliation accessory, a Semi-Legendary Sword Grass had great tactical value, but as a teammate, Liu Hua and the others were clearly more suitable.

After pondering for a while, Lu Ran ultimately decided not to enhance the Affiliation and silently kept the Evolution Crystal, deciding to use it later.

Under the current circumstances, having one more or one less Semi-Legendary didn’t make much of a difference; it was better not to engage in strenuous activities before the battle.

"It’s a pity that the burden in the Time Territory is great, and it is not suitable for recuperation, otherwise, I would definitely have asked Manager Ying to turn these four hours into four days," Lu Ran shook his head.

Before the battle.

Lu Ran made one final check of his setup.

At the same time.

Beast Trainers from both worlds had already arrived at the World Arena, a step ahead of the contestants.

As audiences from different worlds, these people found they were segregated into two separate stands, with no way to walk between them.

"Are they afraid we’ll start scrapping with each other?"

"No, that’s not it; we can move around, there’s a common hall beneath the stands, and they offer snacks and drinks, but you need to spend crystal coins to enter!"

"???"

"Dang, is Infinite City out to recoup crystal coins or what?"

After a while, the Star-Moon Faction realized that there were obviously more spectators appearing on the Blue Star side than theirs.

"Is it really that the Beast Trainers of Blue Star are so rich???"

"Their Infinite City did appear much earlier than ours, so it’s normal for them to have accumulated more crystal coins."
