The King of Beast Trainers

239  Chapter 144 First Clear of the Legendary Secret Realm_2

These four, are they the third-generation Beast Trainers of the Snowfield Federation?

By comparison, Lu Ran felt the third-generation Beast Trainers from Xia Country were a bit lacking.

No wonder the international forums say that the only formidable ones in Xia Country are from the first generation.

Both the second and third generation of Xia Country's Beast Trainers can't make the cut.

Unlike Xia Country's disconnect between generations, other countries may not have strong first generations, but their second and third generations are filled with formidable individuals.

This is also why Xia Country values the training of the fourth generation of Beast Trainers even more, having even established the Beast Training University, because if the fourth generation doesn't step up, Xia Country's domain of Beast Training would experience a generational gap.

The third-generation Beast Trainers of the Snowfield Federation are relatively strong. Some powerful third-generation individuals from the Snowfield are already capable of overwhelming the second-generation trainers from other countries.

Today, the third-generation Beast Trainer team from the Snowfield Federation was the first to break through the Legendary Secret Realm. Although no one knows how the battle went, what methods they used, how much effort they put in, or what the costs were, regardless, as the very first successful team, they were destined to become globally famous.

"Breaking News! I have a friend in the Snowfield Federation..."

As Lu Ran followed this news, he quickly noticed a hot, selected post with over two thousand replies.

Poster Spicy Rabbit Head: "Everybody, big news! My friend is studying abroad in the Snowfield Federation, and he has become a Beast Trainer there. Guess what he found in the number one Infinite City of the Snowfield Federation???"

"It's not about the Four Heavenly Kings of Snowfield making it onto the Monarch Divine Pet List!! That's not important at all!"

"He overheard at the Beast Training Plaza that the 'Frozen Land Secret Realm' has disappeared from the realm pillar platform!!"

"After the 'Frozen Land Secret Realm' was conquered, it simply vanished and was replaced by a brand new 'Level Three Legendary Secret Realm.' Some people there are guessing that Legendary Secret Realms are one-time realms, and the reward for clearing each Legendary Secret Realm is only given once!"

Selected Comment 1: "For real?? Is the poster lying? No d*ck if you lie!!! Those who are also trying to conquer this Legendary Secret Realm and nearly finished but failed must be spitting blood now."

Selected Comment 2: "Nothing can be done, if the strength isn't enough, even eating sh*t won't help you catch up with something hot. For such difficult realms, it's only normal for the first-clear reward to be better."

Reading through this post, Lu Ran furrowed his brows. Just then, Manager Ying's call came through.

"Lu Ran!!"

"Did you see the news?"

"I saw it," replied Lu Ran. "And I also saw a post with a big reveal, saying that the Legendary Secret Realms seem to be one-time affairs."

Manager Ying: "That's right, Xia Country has just communicated with the Snowfield Federation and purchased first-hand information."

"I've obtained it as well, let me fill you in."

"Legendary Secret Realms are indeed one-time only. After one conquest, the realm disappears and is replaced by a brand new Legendary Secret Realm. However, this new Legendary Secret Realm is only accessible to Beast Trainers who have not yet passed a Legendary Secret Realm. Teams that have already conquered a Legendary Secret Realm will not be able to challenge the newly appearing realm."

"It means that each person can only challenge and clear one Legendary Secret Realm of the corresponding level once." @@novelbin@@

"Is that so?" Lu Ran was taken aback.

"There's another important piece of intelligence, although it wasn't revealed what rewards the Legendary Secret Realm gives for clearing it, it was described with 'uniqueness,' 'astonishingly good,' and 'has everything'."

"It can be said that clearing the Legendary Secret Realm once and obtaining the legendary rewards is tantamount to embarking on the path of legend, possessing the potential to challenge becoming a Legendary Beast Trainer. Perhaps, the intent of the Legendary Secret Realm is to screen and fast-track the training of formidable Beast Trainers."

"Additionally, the grading system for the Legendary Secret Realm is different from the Common Secret Realm and Breakthrough Secret Realm; there are only four levels: Common, Good, Excellent, and Perfect."

"According to the description by the Four Heavenly Kings of Snowfield, it is not the performance in the challenge that determines these four grades, but the number of challengers. Four people entering and clearing the realm would yield a Common grade, two people entering and clearing it would yield an Excellent grade, and one person entering and clearing it would yield a Perfect grade. They speculate the rewards would increase with each level."

"This mechanism... is it that harsh?" Lu Ran couldn't help saying, "What stage has Xia Country reached in the challenge of the Legendary Secret Realm?"

Manager Ying replied, "The Second and Third Generation have absolutely no hope; just looking at it one more time, and they would explode. The First Generation has already split into two teams, taking turns to start the challenge. But unless they pay a heavy price in casualties, which they cannot afford, there's no hope for clearing it. And with that, they are at a stalemate. At the slightest sign of trouble, they immediately withdraw."

"In short, I think we can't count on our Second and Third Generation anymore. The only hope we have left is with your Fourth Generation."

"What I'm telling you is that you can start to take the Dragon King's Nest challenge seriously now. Don't be in a hurry to break through, because once you reach the Second Level, you won't be able to challenge a First Level Legendary Secret Realm anymore. Since the rewards are unique, they are definitely astonishingly good, and it would be a pity to miss out."

"If you think the challenge of the Dragon King's Nest is too difficult, you can also check out other Legendary Secret Realms in the Public Infinite City. Currently, the Legendary Secret Realms in different regions and countries are still somewhat different."

"I expect that in the near future, nations will also actively initiate cooperation, sending 'exchangers' to exchange challenges among Secret Realms. After all, depending on the BOSS's attributes and race, there will always be Secret Realms that are easier for certain Beast Trainers to challenge."

"No, the Dragon King's Nest Secret Realm is very good. After all, the BOSS is from the Dragon Clan. It will definitely drop Dragon-related resources which might be very helpful for research into Dragon Clan evolution." Lu Ran had no intention of choosing a First-Level Legendary Secret Realm from another region, finding the Diamond Dragon quite satisfactory.

Of course, the problem now was that he couldn't defeat it.

A little more special training, assembling the four strongest Fourth Generation from Xia Country, might offer a chance...

But hearing that the final grade was related to the number of challengers, Lu Ran hesitated again.

The rewards for a Perfect grade must be much better than those for a Common grade, right?

But in any case, the time to enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm might have to be postponed. To break through without challenging a First Level Legendary Secret Realm indeed seemed like too great a loss.

Compared to the First, Second, and Third Generation of Beast Trainers, this Fourth Generation was at a great advantage. After all, the previous generations couldn't challenge lower level Legendary Secret Realms anymore. Whereas the Fourth Generation, being mostly Interns and Level One, could go from challenging low level Legendary Secret Realms all the way up to advanced ones, securing several unique first-clear rewards...

Originally, Lu Ran planned to enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm after a month, just in time for the hatching of a Beast Egg, to contract his third Pet Beast. But upon further thought, it wasn't that necessary; even if he didn't time it, a delayed contract would just be a delayed contract...

A newly born Pet Beast, still in its most innocently adorable stage, would be suddenly bound by a contract and thrown into life-and-death challenges in Secret Realms – it seemed a bit cruel. Delaying for a while might be good...

"Manager Ying, please help me apply for it; I'll use some of those 50 slices of World's Rare Meat for Mr. Husky as well."

"You know, it was after eating a quarter of a slice of roasted meat that it comprehended the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent. Giving it more now, its level of Sword Intent will definitely rise faster, inflicting greater damage on the Diamond Dragon."

"Once I've challenged the Dragon King's Nest Secret Realm, the rewards inside might have an even more important impact on subsequent research."

"That makes sense," Manager Ying agreed, nodding. "Just use it freely. Why bother with an application? It all belongs to Xiao Qingyi anyway..."

"Still, it's better to go through the proper procedures and provide a clear explanation..." Lu Ran said timidly.

After all, these resources were intended for research on the evolutionary paths of the Dragon Clan. With so many parties paying close attention, it wouldn't look good if all the resources were fed to a pet before the research even started...
