The King of Beast Trainers-Chapter 201 - 128 King of Sudden Death: Targeting Me!_1
201 Chapter 128 King of Sudden Death: Targeting Me!_1
"Roar!!!"
The King of Sudden Death, making use of the energy shell, temporarily transformed into a Thunder Dragon. Its black wings spanned wide, claws gripping in front of its body, head slightly raised, howling at the sky!!!
Red lightning breath pierced through the clouds.
Inside the Thunder Dragon shell, the King of Sudden Death sat as if in a cockpit, operating a giant biological mecha, not only clearly seeing the outside world but also capable of mimicking every movement of its own body with the Thunder Dragon shell.
Powerful! Domineering!
Feeling the might of the Thunder Dragon shell, the King of Sudden Death's eyes shone with an unbelievable light.
Is this... Dragon Intent?
The power of intent can make an energy-shaped object seem as real as the actual thing, creating a perfect illusion.
Just like Mr. Husky himself does not wield the Power of Frost, but through Blizzard Sword Intent, he can make the Sword Qi contain frost attributes.
Now, the King of Sudden Death had finally achieved something similar. The monster's phantom it shaped before was something even a Trainee Beast Trainer could identify at a glance as purely made of energy, but now, fused with Dragon Intent and reshaped, it was like truly creating a Thunder Dragon entity.
"Roar!!!"
The King of Sudden Death could not help but roar, touching the materialized shell within the Thunder Dragon, and then... with its rich experience of getting beaten up... came to an astonishing conclusion.
The strength of the Thunder Dragon shell at the moment was probably no less than its real body.
Its defensive power had undergone a qualitative change of 1+1=2!
In the future, enemies who wanted to hurt it would first have to shatter the hard Thunder Dragon shell, and then break through its own scale armor. Only in this way could they injure it!
Defensive power greatly enhanced.
However, the King of Sudden Death soon realized that to maintain such a massive Thunder Dragon armor, the energy consumption was incredibly fast...
If it weren't for the vast amount of nutrients that had just been converted into energy and erupted in its body, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be able to hold on for ten seconds before it would be done for.
The current King of Sudden Death felt its physical energy depletion accelerating at a ridiculous rate.
"Roar!!"
The King of Sudden Death hastily contained the burst of energy, and the several meters high dragon form quickly shrank to a three or four-meter tall Dragon Form.
However, it still retained the energy-shaped black giant scale wings, and as it spread its wings under jets of red lightning, it actually began to fly gently.
"Wow, hey."
The King of Sudden Death was overjoyed, its red pupils turning towards Lu Ran, Manager Ying, and even Mr. Husky.
Waiting for their shock...
However, with such a commotion, the King of Sudden Death felt that the focus of Lu Ran and the others was not on itself at all.
"Damn, what is this!"
A cry of astonishment came from Lu Ran.
Just now, Mr. Husky, who was rolling around in enjoyment of his meal, seemed to have also achieved some enlightenment.
Manager Ying generously gave half a slice of grilled meat, and Lu Ran, not willing to monopolize it, also let Mr. Husky have a taste.
He was testing the flavor, the King of Sudden Death sought enhancement, but only Mr. Husky was purely joining the fun, as Lu Ran couldn't bear to let it watch him and the King of Sudden Death devour all by themselves.
The King of Sudden Death gaining enhancement and finally understanding Dragon Intent was certainly a surprise, but Lu Ran felt it was normal.
After all, it was already evolving towards the Dragon Clan, had been eating the Dragon Chef's dishes for so long, was transferred by Lu Ran through the 2.0 reverse Superior Beast's understanding of Dragon Intent, and now had eaten Overlord Dragon King Bird meat grilled, it should understand Dragon Intent by now, otherwise Lu Ran would have wanted to shock this dummy to death.
But Mr. Husky's gain was something Lu Ran hadn't anticipated at all.
There it stood on the ground, howling softly as it shaped a sword with energy effects like a tornado swirling around it.
This Tornado Sword emitted a peculiar power fluctuation, and feeling this fluctuation, the King of Sudden Death was inwardly shocked, its scales tingling with pain.
Manager Ying was even more surprised, "A new intent?"
Lu Ran couldn't help but check Mr. Husky's Contract Card.
[Skills]: Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent (A special power comprehension gained from facing and not fearing powerful dragon clan creatures, understanding dragon powers to some extent, and having a certain bonus to dragon-killing!)
"Damn, you really learned how to slay dragons!"
Lu Ran was shocked.
Heaven knows, he had thought Mr. Husky was joking.
"What the heck??" Manager Ying was also baffled beside him, slay dragons?
Lu Ran's implication was that this dog had comprehended a skill called Dragon-Slaying?
The name sounded like... a skill that could counter dragon clan creatures.
What's going on? You only ate a quarter slice of Dragon King Bird meat; how did you comprehend the power of slaying dragons?
Manager Ying didn't understand.
"Woof!!" Mr. Husky's gaze was sharp, I have a sword that can slay dragons!
Hum!
The fierce Power of Wind targeted no one but made the King of Sudden Death wearing the Thunder Dragon Armor involuntarily step back.
The King of Sudden Death was stunned: ???
"Roar!!!" The King of Sudden Death looked at Mr. Husky in confusion.
Can you not handle it!
It understood now, Mr. Husky had always been aiming at it!
Me, a Sub-Dragon comprehending Dragon Intent is one thing.
But you, a Sword-Carrying Dog, how did you comprehend the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent?!
"I see." Lu Ran said suddenly, "Trying to let Mr. Husky learn Flame Dragon Sword Intent and Dragon Intent wasn't successful, but after so many days of learning, tasting dragon dishes, plus this Dragon King Bird meat, it wasn't without gains..."
"During the Breakthrough Secret Realm, it was constantly trying to resist the Dragon Might of the Overlord Dragon Clan with its will. Now, with a certain understanding of dragon intents, although it can't master Dragon Intent, it has learned how to counter dragons!"
"Letting its own efforts not go to waste."
"Well done, Mr. Husky!" Lu Ran was invigorated, and though this sword intent was only useful against a specific attribute, from now on, Mr. Husky could be considered a dragon killer too, right?
Dragon-Slaying Swordsman!
"Woof!" Mr. Husky was smug.
He ran off happily.
"Wu..." Only the King of Sudden Death was sulking in secret; with Mr. Husky around, even if it transformed into a dragon, it seemed it would still be a Sudden Death Dragon...
Using Thunder God Tactics in the future seemed like it would be even more painful for it.
Ah, when would it have the defensive power to ignore Mr. Husky's slashing attack!
"Meow~" Finally, even Manager Ying couldn't help but give an outrageous look. Could this be the fabled 'martial arts idiot' with wisdom that seemed like folly?
Honestly, it was quite upset.
If it ate nine slices of grilled meat later and gained nothing from it.
Wouldn't that mean it was inferior to a dog?
It could accept not comprehending the Dragon Intent if it was less fruitful than a Sub-Dragon, considering the other's racial advantages.
But it couldn't accept being less than a dog; Manager Ying set the lowest goal for itself - even if it couldn't study the Dragon Clan, it at least had to comprehend the Dragon-Slaying Intent.
"Speaking of which, there has been a bunch of crows crying outside since a while ago. Go and make them go away," Manager Ying didn't focus too much on Mr. Husky.
Instead, it turned to look at Lu Ran. That group of crows, they were Lu Ran's followers, right?
"Perfectly flavored Dragon King Bird meat, not even my barrier could stop its scent from spreading, attracting quite some troublesome fellows here. Half of the creatures in Green Sea have smelled it, you should deal with it first."
"Really???"
Lu Ran was curious. He wondered if the grilled meat he just cooked reached the minimum quality of World's Rare cuisine, as even Manager Ying's barrier couldn't stop its aroma.
The scent spread across half of Green Sea City...
That was quite something, although not as impressive as Yan Sizhen's cooking that spread throughout the entire Star-Moon Continent with the Flame Dragon Soaring to the Heavens, Lu Ran was already convinced that the grilled meat was powerful.
It made not only the King of Sudden Death comprehend Dragon Intent but also allowed Mr. Husky to grasp the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent. Lu Ran was also planning to train anew in the Flame Dragon Cooking Intent later, perhaps he could make further progress.
"King of Sudden Death, you get the Dark Crows to leave."
"Roar!!" The King of Sudden Death, dressed in a Thunder Dragon shell, nodded and tried to fly out of the barrier with its Thunder Dragon Wings.
After that, Lu Ran began to rest, preparing for a good rest before continuing to grill meat for Manager Ying.
Practice makes perfect, with the experience from before, Lu Ran felt that grilling the next slice would go even smoother.
...
Two days later.
Lu Ran boarded a plane from Green Sea City, headed for the academic city of Sky City.
By this time, the preliminary assessment had already ended, with over nine hundred new students passing through the preliminaries.
Then, out of these nine hundred-plus new students, excluding some seeded players, a few others advanced from various tournaments.
Counting the few dozen seeded players, a total of 128 individuals would compete in the final ranking battles at the main campus of Beast Training University.
These 128 included Beast Trainers from the Extraordinary Divine Pet List of Infinite City, those close to the Divine Pet List, and even those who had transcended the Extraordinary Divine Pet List.
Among them, both Lu Ran and Fang Lan were directly carried over as seeded players, whereas the few pig farmers, sadly, didn't make it.
In the official competition, aside from the pig farmers and Lu Yi who won a round, the rest were eliminated in one go.
It was clear that aside from Lu Ran and Fang Lan who had experienced the Breakthrough Secret Realm's baptism, the others' combat levels were close to the top thousand among the four generations of Beast Trainers in Xia Country.
While that wasn't considered weak, there still was a gap compared to top talents.
Eliminated early, aside from waiting to watch the matches of Lu Ran and Fang Lan, the rest returned to Infinite City to grind in the Novice Secret Realm and accumulate resources.
"Ladies and gentlemen:
The plane has landed at Sky High Airport, the temperature outside..."
After several transfers, the plane finally reached its destination, began descending, and taxied toward the terminal. Once they were allowed to disembark, Lu Ran took off his Husky eyemask and followed a crowd of passengers off the plane.
After leaving the airport, Lu Ran went straight to his dormitory.
Actually, many new students had already moved into the school dormitories half a month earlier. A large number of new students did not sign up for the freshman competition. For them, experiencing the fresh life of Beast Training University earlier, making new friends, was something even more exciting to look forward to.
Lu Ran belonged to the Forging Department.
The Forging Department was not located in the main campus.
Only the Combat Department, which had the highest number of students, was situated in the main campus.
After he arrived at the Forging College area, he found there were already quite a number of students, and there even were dog couples around the streets.
Official classes started a week after the freshman competition ended. During these days, the students were free to do as they please in Sky City, which was why this group was at their most leisurely.
"Building Three, Unit One, Room 202..."
Looking at the information on the Beast Training University APP, Lu Ran finally located his dormitory. Here, every dormitory was single-occupancy, complete with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a study... The food, however, was provided at the school cafeteria.
14:03
Arriving downstairs, Lu Ran used face recognition to enter, and upon seeing the full room, he sighed softly.
"It's indeed quite small."
"This small space... isn't very comfortable."
After getting used to living in his large villa, Lu Ran found it hard to adjust to such a small space. Usually, he liked to release King of Sudden Death and Mr. Husky for a chat whenever he had nothing to do.
But obviously, dormitories at school did not support students releasing their Pet Beasts for interaction.
At this point, Lu Ran took out his phone and made a call. It was quickly answered.
"Hello?? Passerby A?"
"Master Lin, I've arrived at the Forging College area."
"I want to inquire, are all the student dormitories like this, is there any kind of independent one, preferably with a courtyard and a training ground, like a villa-type dormitory?"
Master Lin: "Dream on."
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
"That would be a massive project."
"However, if you find the dormitory too small, here's a thought, come live at my place. The kind you describe is mostly allocated for professors, I rarely give lectures, and usually, I'm in Infinite City, my dormitory is empty most of the time anyway, you can live there, also it'll be convenient for when I give you special tutoring, private lessons."
Lu Ran: ...
"Is that so? The professors' living environment isn't bad? Then that's easy to deal with."
"Who's in charge of this? Give me a contact, while my competition hasn't started, I might as well apply to be a cooking professor."
Originally, Lu Ran wanted to wait until after the competition, because it wouldn't be appropriate for a university professor to join a freshman competition and beat the freshers...
