Chapter 961: Chapter 477: Son of the Four Great Dragon Gods_3

...

Not long after collecting protection fees from the Star-Moon Federation, Lu Ran contentedly returned to Blue Star.

This time around, he intended to properly digest the resources harvested from the last Breakthrough Secret Realm.

Mr. Husky was still impressive, displaying incredible perceptiveness. The first time he confronted the Evil God, Lu Ran utilized Soul Evolution to transform him into Werewolf Form. Though it was just a brief encounter, the Soul Avatar used wasn’t wasted.

In the time following, Mr. Husky maintained this state and quickly grasped a new skill.

That was to temporarily seal the power brought about by Soul Evolution.

The Soul Evolution form was inherently a brief burst state. Once activated, it would impose a great burden on the body, rapidly consume physical energy in exchange for high combat power, and it couldn’t be turned off at will.

But what made Mr. Husky strong was his ability to freely control the on-off switch of Soul Evolution, allowing him to store the power of Soul Evolution within his body to be independently used when needed next time.

That is, as long as Lu Ran steadily and continuously provided Mr. Husky with soul nourishment on ordinary days, it could initiate [Soul Evolution] on its own, even if Lu Ran wasn’t around, essentially achieving autonomous Soul Evolution.

Shortly after King of Sudden Death and Dark Crow had completed their Soul Evolutions, Mr. Husky, with his perceptiveness, made another significant leap forward.

"Early stages rely on talent, later stages on perceptiveness," Lu Ran had come to understand the true essence of this saying.

Additionally, Dark Crow had also made a tremendous gain, acquiring a complete Cursed Core, though digesting it might not be as easy, so Lu Ran planned to give it some time for absorption.

If everything went as expected, once digestion was complete, countless pieces of Evil God flesh could be used to create and nurture War Soldiers, and its power might even match a true Evil God without relying on Lu Ran’s strength.

Then there was Liu Hua, who had previously snagged an Elemental God’s Heart from Yun Bao and found another in the Breakthrough Secret Realm, a remarkable enhancement resource for her plant-based life, which she planned to swiftly transform into an expansion of her Domain to increase her essence.

As for Lu Ran himself, he was calmly beginning to select traits.

Although Lu Ran always squeezed Manager Ying, she never stopped collecting rare traits for him from Public Secret Realm and Breakthrough Secret Realm, consistently shedding light on unique rare traits.

Lu Ran’s goal was to find a ninth trait for Mr. Husky, a trait that would suit its three-stage evolution!

Besides that, he also sought foundational traits for Xuan Turtle.

Lu Ran traveled and returned in secrecy; it didn’t matter to him if unrelated outsiders like the Mechanical Leader knew about his guise as a child.

But he didn’t want Fang Lan and Gu Qingyi, these acquaintances, to be aware.

Nor did he want Principal Shi Zhen to know.

For this reason, he gave Manager Ying a substantial hush money; that is, to draw less blood from him.

Deep within the Amazon Palace, where Emperor Lu Ran’s office was located, all was solemn and dignified, filled with the majesty of royal power.

In front of the dragon throne, there was a broad desk where Lu Ran leaned over frequently browsing information on his phone.

"You’re incredible, Manager Ying."

"Mr. Husky’s ninth and tenth traits, just these two."

He quickly locked down two traits.

[Trait Crystal]: Skill Extrapolation

(Fixing the final effect of a skill, one can then extrapolate and refine the skill based on an initial form, the higher the perceptiveness and learning ability, the higher the success rate of developing that skill.)

[Trait Crystal]: Vigorous Energy

(Allows skills with brief effects to last longer.)

Among them, Skill Extrapolation was a unique trait purchased by Manager Ying at a high price (a top-grade Pet Beast Cub).

And Vigorous Energy was a regular trait consistently dropped by level nine Abyssal Secret Realm.

Since Mr. Husky’s Soul Evolution effect was already quite good, and now that he could control it autonomously, Lu Ran felt that the Vigorous Energy trait crystal was very suitable for him.

Besides, this thing could also be used for No. 18, since the duration of its Hall of Heroic Spirits skills was also short and effective.

It’s a pity that the Soul Evolution effect was not good for pets other than Mr. Husky; otherwise, having one for each wouldn’t be a loss.

As for other traits, there are none particularly suitable for the six main Pet Beasts just yet.

Compared to the six main Pet Beasts, finding suitable traits for the Xuan Turtle, which was about to be trained as a Rule Divine Pet, was also difficult, and Lu Ran was serious in selecting them.

"Maybe, we could try doing it this way."

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Mr. Husky had fused with the Skill Extrapolation Attribute and underwent three stages of evolution. However, this type of trait did not lead to a significant increase in Species Level, so Mr. Husky was still a Middle Legend Race in his normal state.

Nevertheless, with this new trait, Mr. Husky became excited and started to extrapolate the Cloud-Cleaving Sword Intent and the Reincarnation-Cleaving Sword Intent, it was only after being jointly resisted that he stopped extrapolating and went on to extrapolate other skills.

Dark Crow successfully digested the Cursed Core and naturally advanced to Upper Legend.

As for Lu Ran, the initial results for training the Xuan Turtle were showing.

[Species]: Divine Dragon Turtle

[Attribute]: Dragon (Water, Rock), Undead, Time, Space

[Growth Level]: Level 90

When the Xuan Turtle was at Level 10, Lu Ran used resources to strengthen its soul and awakened its necro system.

At Level 20, he used Space resources to awaken the Space Attribute.

At Level 30, Time resources to awaken the Time Attribute.

Since it was originally born from a life-affiliated being, the four major elements of Life and Death Space-Time were now all gathered.

Plus, with its Dragon Clan bloodline, it would become a Rule Living Being in the future, vastly embodying the demeanor of the Four Great Dragon Gods.

Lu Ran used the Four Great Dragon Gods as a template to train it, also to better simulate the rule backlash under the Four Great Dragon Gods’ strength when sparring with Mr. Husky and the others.

At Level 40, fused with the Trait Crystal: Emotional Absorption.

(It can absorb emotions as nutrients for growth, the more the emotions absorbed align with its own, the higher the growth.)

The Xuan Turtle could feed on the emotions of others’ surrender.

At Levels 50, 60, 70, and 80, fused respectively with the common traits Life Enhancement, Death Resistance, Space Affinity, and Time Affinity to further strengthen the elements of Life and Death Space-Time.

These traits, which are available in levels 8 and 9 of the standard Secret Realm, aren’t top-grade in effect, but are just right for the Xuan Turtle.

Life Enhancement is for increasing the upper limit of Vitality, Death Resistance is for strengthening Soul Power, making one’s soul hard to be destroyed; Space Affinity and Time Affinity work just as their names suggest.

And at Level 90, the ninth trait Lu Ran was finally planning to fuse was the Rule: Surrender Trait, starting the Xuan Turtle’s transformation into a Rule Living Being.

"This setup, compared to saying you were born a Xuan Turtle, now it’s more like you were born from the Four Great Dragon Gods together."

Half a month’s training made Lu Ran increasingly excited about the future of the Xuan Turtle.

"Ugh—" However, at this moment, the old turtle swayed its head, showing an expression of utter desolation, because every awakening of attributes, every fusion of traits, every evolution, every upgrade was continuously stimulating that most primal desire to become stronger hidden within its biological instincts.

This made the Xuan Turtle, whose fate was already woven to be the king of surrender and who had been constantly feeding on the emotions of surrender, feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Oh king, when will this nurturing ever end, when will all this be over?" the Xuan Turtle cried.

"This is the last step. Although at Level 100 you could still fuse another trait, I have limited your levels for now, preventing further fusions, so this trait is the last!" Lu Ran said, pulling out the Rule: Surrender and smiling as he handed it to the Xuan Turtle.

"After fusing this, can I finally go rest for a while?" the Xuan Turtle asked, looking up.

"How could that be, you’re about to start sparring with Mr. Husky and the others, but before that, I plan to make a trip to Ancient Blue Star, see if I can revive the Candle Dragon and then contract it to keep you company," Lu Ran stroked his chin, now Liu Hua also reached a bottleneck, without the Core of Blue Star, it’s really a bit difficult to quickly break through to Main God in a short time.

The Candle Dragon was incidental.

"It’s just that I don’t know what the Candle Dragon’s temper will be like, whether it has a good nature; if it’s bad and its strength terrifying, then at that time, I’ll leave the surrendering to you, Turtle Turtle."
