The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 39 - 34 Spider-Dog Inferior_1

After the "mighty demeanor" of Mr. Husky just now, he lay on the ground like a dead dog, completely unable to move.

But it must be said that the Divine Deer Pendant is indeed trustworthy, under the golden-green light's glow, Mr. Husky, who had been in too much pain to even scream, went through a rapid and intense change in expression.

First, he gritted his teeth, then relaxed, and following that, he appeared utterly blissful, as if he was floating in ecstasy.

"Woo..." A few seconds later, Mr. Husky moved his paw first, then his ears twitched, and finally, he sprang up lively and excited.

Fully revived!

"Awoo~~" Mr. Husky danced excitedly with his tail wagging, the dog's tail swinging to and fro. Not bad at all, he would definitely eat a Flowing Fruit before every battle from now on!

Lu Ran carefully put away the reassuring Divine Deer Pendant and said, "All you think about is eating, it costs crystal coins! Can I get some feedback on its use? So how do you feel, that sensation just now... do you remember it?"

"Woof!" Mr. Husky frowned and closed his eyes, recalling the sensation carefully.

Um...

It felt like the sensation after a bath, with a breeze blowing over.

In the next moment, a sky-blue energy fluorescence wrapped around Mr. Husky, and then something astonishing happened. The energy began to tremble, becoming increasingly violent until it turned into a gale, just like the energy coat from before, flowing and covering Mr. Husky's body!

Mr. Husky suddenly opened his deep blue eyes—Energy Flow Technique, mastered! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Ran: ?

Meanwhile.

The changes to Mr. Husky's Contract Card from his level up earlier were happening once again!

Growth Level: Medium Superior Beast

Species Level: 5

Skills: Gale (a basic Wind Attribute Energy technique that covers the body for fast movement and enhances the speed of attacks and release!), Sword Qi

"Holy smokes, Mr. Husky! You're truly my good doggo!" Seeing Mr. Husky's demonstration and the changes in the Contract Card, Lu Ran was first stunned and then ecstatic.

He now finally understood why those teachers liked him so much.

Because he was a genius, very smart, and could learn anything!

Now, Lu Ran could relate to the feelings of those school teachers. His Mr. Husky was the same; whatever he wanted it to learn, it could learn.

This feeling was just too awesome; in Lu Ran's view, having great learning ability was much more pleasant than a Pet Beast's naturally powerful species.

"Awoo~~" Mr. Husky displayed an intelligent expression, what was so difficult about it.

However, the next moment, Mr. Husky's intelligent expression changed to one of shock and terror because Lu Ran hugged its head and planted a kiss on it.

"Woof, woof, woof, woof!!" Mr. Husky struggled free.

"Well done, keep it up!" Lu Ran cheered, pleased. Very good, Gale, Sword Qi, now Mr. Husky had two basic skills total, one originating from the Energy Flow Technique and the other originating from the Wind Meteor Sword and Energy Release Technique...

Combining these two basic skills should now be an advanced skill, right?

Sword Qi launched in rapid succession... Gale Sword Energy?

Lu Ran stroked his chin and looked at Mr. Husky, saying, "Rest for a bit, we'll start moving target training later to practice your Sword Qi accuracy."

"Awoo!" Mr. Husky was nonchalant. Wasn't it just like catching a frisbee? Essentially the same, right?

And so, a week later!

A week was both fulfilling and monotonous for Lu Ran and Mr. Husky.

But there was no doubt, they had undergone a transformation!

First, Mr. Husky's Growth Level reached 6!

Lu Ran figured that Mr. Husky's quick ascent to level 5 was aided by the "Wind Attribute Fruit" and "Flowing Fruit."

The Flowing Fruit seemed to quickly activate some dormant potentials, converting them into growth attributes, with these dormant forces naturally absorbed from regular food resources.

In one week, with top-tier food and four Flowing Fruits, Mr. Husky's leveling speed was impressive, reaching level 6 on the fifth day!

Although yet to catch up with the first tier level of the fourth-generation Beast Trainers, they were close.

After reaching level 6, it became stronger and produced more Wind Attribute Energy inside its body.

Most importantly, it looked more majestic and increasingly wolf-like, indicating that Mr. Husky's lineage was very pure.

Also, consuming five Flowing Fruits gave Mr. Husky a deeper understanding of the Energy Flow Technique. Compared to other Wind-aspect pets' Gale skills, it could make its own Gale much more fierce and still maintain control, with the only cost being minor injuries!

Beyond that, there wasn't anything else. Regarding Shaping and Compression Techniques, although Mr. Husky was bright, Lu Ran wasn't in a hurry for it to learn them but instead focused on perfecting the flow and release skills.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

For seven days, Mr. Husky's routine was to first destruct part of the Training Secret Realm, leaving it in disarray with complicated terrain, then amidst this challenging terrain, he did agility training with Gale sprints.

Then, Lu Ran would forcefully throw broken stones to create moving targets for Mr. Husky to practice its Sword Qi accuracy.

After a week, Mr. Husky had made huge improvements in the use of Gale and Sword Qi, at least Lu Ran was very satisfied.

During this week, Lu Ran also stayed mostly indoors, or one could say he hardly went out at all, getting his food and drink in his private room, because he was also engrossed in training.

While Mr. Husky worked hard, he certainly did not idle around, constantly training his physique by imitating Mr. Husky.

He might not have felt much difference with less time, but after accumulating a week of effort, Lu Ran's physical fitness had already doubled.

The stones he threw could easily reach two to three hundred meters, and their speed during flight was astonishing. A light jump from him had already broken world records, and the power of one punch could probably kill a cow!

With the Wind Cutting Sword in hand, Lu Ran could enter a very special state, where his energy, spirit, and soul could become extremely focused, drastically altering his aura. Even when Mr. Husky held the sword in his mouth and sparred with Lu Ran, it would look intensely cautious, as if Lu Ran had turned into a ferocious beast, making it quite wary.

This made Lu Ran feel that he had perhaps entered the gateway of Super Beast Mimicry. From now on, he would be able to better protect himself in the Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, all these were not Lu Ran's greatest achievement. His biggest gain was the progress in the Super Beast Mimicry 2.0 version he wanted to develop.

Through psychic sensing, Lu Ran mimicked Super Beast Mimicry, continuously passing his insights to Mr. Husky, who seemed to start pondering the "Sword Momentum" ability similar to what Lu Ran mastered - which seemed to be a manifestation of spirit and mental will.

Sword Momentum is when the sword wielder, through changing sword moves, displays their aura, mettle, and presence.

Momentum is something that truly exists, especially common in certain professions, like a ferocious bandit whose mere glance can instill fear in others; this is an immature manifestation of momentum.

The master who once taught Lu Ran the Sword Dao had said that in the past, many sword experts could train to develop Sword Momentum, but in modern times, there were very few who mastered it. Lu Ran once asked if his master had mastered it. The master only smiled and told Lu Ran to work hard, saying that with Lu Ran's talent, he might be able to master it one day.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Lu Ran went on a vacation to Hawaii with his dad to learn shooting, leaving the old man quite irritated.

Therefore, recalling this past, Lu Ran wondered if he was developing the Sword Momentum because his aura was gradually approaching that of a ferocious beast, and combining it with sword moves, he achieved a sort of Beast Sword Stance?

Whether it was true or not no longer mattered. In any case, it was a good thing; his strength had increased.

"Let's call it a day!"

After a vigorous exchange with Mr. Husky, Lu Ran put down the Wind Cutting Sword and shook his numb palms, saying.

"Woof." Mr. Husky nodded in agreement.

Sparring with Mr. Husky was meant for him to practice controlling his strength.

Since Mr. Husky had to be extra careful not to accidentally injure Lu Ran, he concentrated to 200%.

So, to put it plainly... at this time, Mr. Husky was Lu Ran's punching bag.

"Let's go, we're off to buy some food."

Because... the food had run out, and he planned to go shopping again.

No matter that Lu Ran initially bought food for Mr. Husky that was supposed to last half a month, it ended up nearly finished in just one week.

Lu Ran left the Training Secret Realm with Mr. Husky, planning to venture out on a trip.

Because... the food had run out, and he planned to go shopping again.

No matter that Lu Ran initially bought food for Mr. Husky that was supposed to last half a month, it ended up nearly finished in just one week.

The reason was simple, while Mr. Husky ate, Lu Ran couldn't resist trying a bite and found it quite delicious.

So, in order to more perfectly imitate Mr. Husky and develop Super Beast Mimicry, he also started eating the same food as Mr. Husky. Besides, it saved him the trouble of finding food for himself, killing two birds with one stone.

Maybe, this was also a reason why his Super Beast Mimicry was making good progress?

Whatever the Pet Beast ate, the Beast Trainer ate too! Eat together, sleep together, bathe together, train together!

Except for actually wearing a Husky mascot suit and lying on the ground to learn from Mr. Husky, Lu Ran did everything he could. To take that step... he felt even Mr. Husky would look at him with an odd expression, and that was a shame he couldn't bear to face.

...

Pig Raiser: [Hey Passerby A, are you there?]

Before heading out, Lu Ran checked his messages. During this period, his begrudging sister Fang Lan had been handling his external affairs, so they communicated quite frequently.

One lived in the arena, and the other toiled in the Training Secret Realm, two completely different styles.

Passerby A: [What's up?]

Lu Ran remembered his last chat with Pig Raiser was when Mr. Husky made it onto the list.

Pig Raiser: [Um... my guild assessment is the day after tomorrow, would you be my sparring partner? I can pay with crystal coins.]

Pig Raiser's idea was simple. Lu Ran was a pro who had been on the Divine Pet List and was at a level close to his, making him the most suitable sparring partner.

[You can go to the arena to find opponents, right?] said Lu Ran.

[Recently, there weren't many people in the newbie area of the arena. There's this Saintess from the Five Poison Sect who stays there, and she's really fierce. I had bad luck matching up with her twice. Each time, my pigs would fall from poisoning, and afterwards, not only would I have to buy injury medicine, but also antidotes, with heavy losses. Many newcomers, like myself, are reluctant to go there.]

Lu Ran: "..."

[Really? That strong...?] Lu Ran watched the drama unfold.

Pig Raiser with fear: [Very strong. She's the one who pushed you off the Divine Pet List, didn't you know? Now she's ranked sixth, and some Pet Beasts with a higher level than her spider can't withstand her poison. Anyway, there's no point fighting her since the guild assessment won't feature Poisonous Attribute Beasts.]

Lu Ran laughed. He was aware of this. Fang Lan ousted him from the Divine Pet List not long after, and she even boasted about it. However, at that time, Lu Ran was focused on his cultivation, and since there was still time until the Divine Pet List reset, he didn't pay much attention to the ranking.

But this Poisonous woman had worked her way up to sixth? It seemed he had underestimated that Heterochromatic Wolf Spider.

Lu Ran: [Heh, so you can't beat the spider, and now you're challenging my Husky... If you can't beat him either, wouldn't your wild pigs be inferior to spider dogs?]

Pig Raiser: [???]

He hadn't realized that Passerby A could be so sarcastic before. It seemed like failing to win also meant being kicked out of the proverbial dictionary, right?
