The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 963 - 478

Chapter 963: 478

Inside the Imperial Palace, on the Martial Arts Platform.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you spar for nothing."

"Even if you lose, I’ll reward each of you with an Epic Resource."

Lu Ran spoke with great liberality, making the Jade Rabbit and the Golden Toad on the platform gulp with anticipation.

Having slumbered in the Moon Palace for so long, they truly were lacking resources.

Hearing that there were rewards even for losing, their moods brightened a bit.

However, faced with the conditions Lu Ran offered, Mr. Husky and a few other Pet Beasts fell into deep thought.

"Master, he’s cruel." No. 18 felt darkness—Lu Ran was really ruthless...

Because...

As the battle commenced, the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit, who had prepared to take a beating and collect resources, had just tentatively unleashed skills to attack the Xuan Turtle, only to find that this turtle gave them no chance to lose the fight!

"I surrender!!!"

Confronted by the Golden Toad, which was condensing Money Coins to smash at it, and the Jade Rabbit, looking to crush it like an herb with a pestle, the Xuan Turtle also quickly used Energy Shaping to materialize a White Flag and started waving it.

"I’ve lost!"

"You’ve won."

Golden Toad, Jade Rabbit: ??

"What the heck???" Their brains short-circuited.

Damn, the fight hadn’t even started yet.

The Xuan Turtle picked a great moment to surrender, just right after the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit had let loose their attacks.

Thrown off by the Xuan Turtle’s unexpected surrender, the Golden Toad and the Jade Rabbit were dumbfounded.

But their probing skills were already smashing towards the Xuan Turtle, the target clear.

Buzz.

Precisely because of these two skills, it was but a moment, a rule of this world seemed to have been triggered.

Gravity suddenly doubled, an invisible strength crazily compressed every inch of space, and the color of the sky turned ominously heavy in an instant, as if smothered by a thick leaden cloud, giving an oppressively breathless sensation.

"Roar!!!"

The King of Sudden Death was the most sensitive to the change in gravity. Although this change was not aimed at it, the spectating King of Sudden Death was shocked to find that the alteration in gravity on the platform had already far surpassed its own level of control over gravity.

Bang.

Space became slow and heavy; the air turned viscous, difficult to flow. The incoming skills, under the effect of gravity, began to droop towards the ground, dropping onto the platform with a boom.

And as the attackers, the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit, were suddenly forced to lie prone on the ground by the divine pressure.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

Space trembled as if the sky was truly about to fall. This spatial shift and the resulting gravity suppression were completely beyond the understanding of the Golden Toad and the Jade Rabbit.

"Clack, clack, clack!!!" Under the pressure of space, the Golden Toad exploded with energy, resisting the pressure. Beside it, the Jade Rabbit did the same, trying to stand up again.

However, the more violently they reacted, the stronger the backlash from the world became.

"Attack the Xuan Turtle, finish it off, and the pressure should disappear." At that moment, Lu Ran’s voice emerged in the ears of the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit.

Faced with the Voice of the King, they subconsciously obeyed. They treated the Xuan Turtle’s "I surrender" as a joke, believing that in a battle presided over by Lu Ran, how could one side so easily admit defeat.

It was probably just to mock them.

Even under tremendous pressure, the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit mounted their next wave of attacks.

"Clack!!!" The Golden Toad, trembling and unsteady, opened its mouth wide, using the spatial pressure to compress energy and in a flash spat out a hundred-forged golden sword, piercing towards the Xuan Turtle.

Meanwhile, the Jade Rabbit secreted an unknown herbal scent all over its body, letting the scent diffuse across the platform indiscriminately, with no one knowing what changes might occur to a body that inhaled this aroma.

Alas, just as the two creatures launched their second round of attack, the world’s backlash intensified with the increase in the number of attacks.

The Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit had no idea what had happened again, only feeling a breeze of Time passing by; the years they avoided by hibernating seemed to have circled back and landed on them once more.

In an instant, the lifespans of the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit began to wither away at an accelerated pace, leaving both Legendary Divine Beasts on the ground, their eyes revealing an expression of terror.

Throughout this process, the Xuan Turtle remained silent, having taken no action after declaring its surrender.

"About time to wrap this up."

As the lifespans of the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit drained away until only less than ten years remained, Lu Ran spoke up. Liu Hua began to intervene in the battle, extending a vine to pull the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit into her Hell Domain.

With this pull, the two were no longer subjected to the world’s backlash. Liu Hua slowly said, "If one is strong enough, they can shield against, even ignore, such world backlash."

"Right," Lu Ran nodded.

"But you have to be much stronger than the Xuan Turtle’s own level. It’s just a Lower Legend, and not even battle-oriented, but it could suppress two higher-level legends with such ease and without blowing dust. From this, it’s apparent that Rule Living Beings’ suppression over other races is about the same as the Dragon Clan’s suppression over the common Animal Race." Liu Hua was still quite surprised.

"Very strong, but not unbelievably so." Lu Ran watched the Xuan Turtle’s battle the whole time, and had made his judgments.

Not bad, he could let the Xuan Turtle battle other Pet Beasts in his team!

"Woof!"

After Liu Hua and Lu Ran finished speaking, Mr. Husky stepped forward eagerly, wanting to ask for guidance.

Confronted by the leaping Mr. Husky, the Xuan Turtle got a fright and quickly said, "I surrender."

Seeing this, Mr. Husky’s astute gaze flashed with light. He didn’t care about the wretched appearance of the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit a moment ago, and immediately swung out a Sword Qi with his paw.

"I really am surrendering, not playing along with you!" the Xuan Turtle cried out. The toad and rabbit were one thing, but it truly did not want to fight this mad dog.
