The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 831: Chapter 434: Number One in the Team, Mr. Husky!_2

However, could this tactic really be successful? It must be noted that Lu Ran still has another pet beast even stronger than the Star Vortex Dragon.

Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the Ice Emperor.

Yet, when the Ice Emperor stood up, he delivered a final heavy blow to the Star-Moon audience.

"I forfeit the defense of the winner’s position, we’ll meet again in the second round."

As soon as the Ice Emperor finished speaking, the whole venue burst into uproar.

Although the Star-Moon faction felt that the Ice Emperor’s chances of winning were slim, with the growth advantage and attribute advantage, the inherent gap between the two pet beasts wasn’t that big—so why not give it a try?

However, among the audience, there were some quick-witted individuals; the tactical intent of the Ice Emperor was soon guessed.

Instead of sacrificing one’s advantage in a situation without a 100% certainty, it was better to use the rules to absorb a few more super-strong attribute traits to strengthen oneself and maximize the advantage, then crush Lu Ran with the greatest edge!

At this point, all hopes were vested in the Ice Emperor, so whatever decision he made, the ordinary beast trainers of Star-Moon could only support him.

After all, apart from Kong Kongyi, only the Ice Emperor’s strength remained the most intact, while the others had suffered varying degrees of severe injuries.

Moreover, the rules did not state that the players would receive treatment between the two rounds in Infinite City.

[The battle is over.]

[Winner: Passerby A.]

[Battle Rating: SSS class.]

[Rating Reason: ① Allowed a legendary elementalist with a contract with a Legendary-Level Elemental God to surrender without fighting!]

...

[Congratulations on obtaining a Super Trait Crystal (Surrender): A pet beast that merges with this trait crystal can give up its current life, enter a state of self-seal, where not only will its strength not diminish, but it can also ignore various dangerous external environments, with the highest chance of surviving for hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even billions of years to achieve rebirth... After rebirth, it can complete its evolution and become even stronger.]

...

Lu Ran: ?

[The first round of the World Battle has concluded]

[Winning side: Blue Star]

[Congratulations to "Passerby A" for becoming the MVP Beast Trainer of the first round.]

[The second round of the World Battle begins]

[Now announcing the list of Star-Moon World contenders.]

[①: Five Poison Sect Saintess. ② Blue Star Psychic Empress. ③ Snow Maiden. ④ Empress Medusa. ⑤ Demon King. ⑥ Barrenshade. ⑦ Witch of Xia Country. ⑧ Gu Qingyi. ⑨ Retiring after this fight. ⑩ Passerby A.]

[Countdown to the second round of the World Battle: 10 minutes.]

Lu Ran had to admit he was impressed with the beast trainers of Star-Moon; however, if he were in their shoes, he probably would have made the same choice.

Could this be the only method for Star-Moon to defeat him?

"How boring... Futile struggle."

"Liu Hua, let’s go."

By successfully taking on 10, even though 2 opponents surrendered, Lu Ran had finally completed the first round of tasks, so he directly returned to the Blue Star contestants’ area.

However, the Blue Star contestants’ area was now bustling with excitement.

"King Lu is awesome."

"The king is strong."

"King, I love you!" These exclamations didn’t come from Dark Crow, but from the four ancient beast trainers, Snow Maiden and Empress Medusa, who were looking at Lu Ran with stars in their eyes like little fangirls.

Was this the strength of a king recognized by God Baize, commanding the 100 level Zhu Yan Corpse Body?

Contracting the Middle Legend Six-Path Reincarnation Flower is so cool.

To have made a contracted ancient Ice Emperor surrender without fighting—this was something they hadn’t even dared to dream of before the World Battle started.

"Compared to me, you should be thinking about what you’re going to do next."

"If I’m not mistaken, the first contender to challenge will definitely be the Ice Emperor."

"If his power is stronger than even God’s seat, then Senior Chairman, do you have the confidence to defeat him?" Lu Ran looked at the Senior Chairman.

The Senior Chairman chuckled, stroked his beard, and said, "You think too highly of an old man like me. When the time comes, I’ll surrender. I don’t want to risk it before I retire. Even if it doesn’t cost me my life, I can’t handle getting something like old cold legs."

Lu Ran couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"That Ice Emperor wants to blow up our attributes to strengthen himself before fighting you again," Fang Lan looked at Lu Ran and said, "By the way, did you get any traits after Kong Kongyi and the Ice Emperor surrendered to you?"

"Yes."

"So even if I surrender, he will still get the trait..." Fang Lan was frustrated.

"However, if you surrender, the trait you get might not be a combat-type trait," Lu Ran touched his nose and shared the Abandon Trait and Surrender Trait he received with the others. After his explanation, everyone was stunned.

It was strong, indeed.

But for the World Battle stage, it wasn’t of much use.

"My advice is don’t try to be a hero. If you don’t want to fight, just surrender to avoid getting hurt. If the opponent doesn’t control their strength, it could be a huge loss if you or your pet beast die."

"I don’t care about the others, but if your opponent is the Ice Emperor, Fang Lan, you must surrender immediately."

After Lu Ran spoke, he sat down to rest. Although the battles with Happy Beasts were enjoyable, standing for half a day was tiring.

"Got it," Fang Lan responded obediently while pouting, ready to surrender.

Would this perhaps embarrass the Pine God?

After all, Infinite City liked to expose people’s weaknesses...

Then, the World Battle proceeded to an odd phase.

As everyone had anticipated, the Ice Emperor was the first to attack.

On the Blue Star side, it seemed no one was eager to contend with Lu Ran for MVP, or to put it another way, it wasn’t likely they could.

Fang Lan merely went around, and before the countdown even finished, she directly said, "I’m not fighting. I surrender."
