The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 254 - 150: Full of Harvest_1

A Beast Trainer known by the ID Tree Man once said that there are two greatest joys for Beast Trainers:

First, pet beast evolution.

Second, the loot explosion phase of pioneering a Secret Realm.

Pet beast evolution marks the start of a pet beast obtaining new talents. This kind of joy, akin to winning a prize, is addictive.

The loot explosion phase of pioneering a Secret Realm is likewise.

Challenging a Secret Realm with known rewards doesn't produce this feeling of pleasure, but clearing a Breakthrough Secret Realm, facing unknown rewards, excites Beast Trainers extraordinarily.

At this moment, Lu Ran was quite excited.

The rewards for single-handedly pioneering a Legendary Secret Realm indeed did not disappoint him.

One million crystal coins, a hard currency, let's not mention that for now.

Upgrade Cards, 100 of them.

For Contract Card upgrades, you need 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000... Currently, Mr. Husky and the King of Sudden Death's Contract Cards have both been upgraded twice.

These 100 cards could be used to upgrade one of theirs again, adding a new effect.

An upgrade to a Contract Card adds a new effect, Stamina Recovery.

The second time it's Slow Healing. @@novelbin@@

The third time it's Growth Acceleration.

It's equivalent to the effect of AFK Cultivation.

At this point, if Lu Ran wants any of his pet beasts to reach level 30 faster… upgrading its Contract Card is definitely the right move.

Beyond these basic resources, Lu Ran looked at the Dragon Heart, Stone Dragon Egg, and Dragon King's Bloodline Trait.

He had a strange expression.

The Dragon Heart, containing the essence of a Huge Diamond Dragon, can, with a small chance, cause a Sub-Dragon creature to mutate into the Dragon Clan!

As for the Dragon King Bloodline… those referred to as Dragon Kings are usually from the High-Level Overlord Dragon Clan, very powerful, and this Dragon Clan trait is said to be fairly outrageous.

You see, the currently popular Dragon Blood Trait, Dragon Descendant Trait, and so on, only grant the pet beasts ordinary dragon bloodline and dragon traits.

They don't hold a candle to this Dragon King Trait, which grants the user Dragon King Potential right off the bat.

Before this, Lu Ran had never heard of such a trait; it must be an exclusive reward of this Legendary Secret Realm, the first of its kind on Blue Star.

This trait likely also represents the potential of the Huge Diamond Dragon itself.

The Huge Diamond Dragon is actually a mutated form of the Sub-Dragon·Stone Dragon.

And the Huge Diamond Dragon is just its first stage of mutation. According to Dean Kong's research, the Huge Diamond Dragon had undergone another evolution later on, becoming the Diamond Dragon King.

And for this reason, a Legendary Beast Trainer was made.

Why did Lu Ran feel like the three resources awarded by Infinite City could replicate another Diamond Dragon King?

Hatch the Stone Dragon Egg, bathe it in dragon blood, feed it the Dragon Heart, undergo mutation and evolve, mutate into a Diamond Dragon.

Then, fuse with the Dragon King Bloodline Trait to gain Dragon King Potential, and there's a chance for it to evolve into the Diamond Dragon King again in the future...

"No wonder every time someone clears a Legendary Secret Realm, Infinite City declares that they've 'embarked on the path to legend'."

"Such abundant resources are indeed provided for mentoring a Legendary Beast Trainer, and they can greatly strengthen a Beast Trainer. If one has a pet beast with the potential of a Diamond Dragon King, it would be hard for that Beast Trainer to fail."

"However, it's a pity that my main focus is on being a rebel," Lu Ran thought to himself.

For sure, this Dragon Heart and Dragon King Trait are meant to strengthen the King of Sudden Death!

The role of a Diamond Dragon quite conflicts with that of the King of Sudden Death; they are both front-line damage-absorbing tanks.

Pet beasts with such roles, and with dragon attributes on top of that, one is enough.

Naturally, Lu Ran wouldn't think of giving up on the King of Sudden Death. Hence the only option left is to give up on the Stone Dragon.

He had more than one Sovereign Pet Beast Egg. The one waiting to be hatched has a very high chance of being an elemental pet beast, a rare species on Blue Star, scarcely found; Lu Ran definitely wouldn't give it up.

Additionally, there is a Dark Crow in line waiting to be contracted, with rather interesting curse abilities. Lu Ran wouldn't give up on it either; thus, he truly couldn't afford to raise any more.

Although it was regrettable to let go of a Stone Dragon Egg from the King Species, Lu Ran had no choice but to take the Dragon Heart and Dragon King Trait for the King of Sudden Death and either sell or give the Stone Dragon Egg to someone else to nurture.

The last Beast Training Technique, Damage Transfer, allows the Beast Trainer to transfer the damage they receive to their pet beast.

This was the first time Lu Ran had heard of such a skill; it must also be a first-time appearance of a Beast Training Technique.

This skill, presumably, would have great appeal to Beast Trainers who favor combat themselves.

Facing this skill, Lu Ran was rather conflicted because he felt it wasn't quite to his liking, not his ideal type.

But reason told him this skill was quite good, dramatically increasing a Beast Trainer's survivability.

For example, if curses also count as damage, Principal Shi Zhen, if he had this skill, might have been able to transfer his curse to a pet beast that isn't so concerned about gender... Of course, Lu Ran thought this would have to be developed.

"If it's just about transferring the damage taken by a Beast Trainer to a specified pet beast, the usage scope is too narrow."

"But if this skill could be developed further, to transfer the damage received by one contracted pet beast to another contracted pet beast..."

"For instance, if the damage suffered by Mr. Husky could be transferred to the King of Sudden Death, who has a stronger defense, then this skill would be divine."

"Or, if it could transfer the damage taken by the King of Sudden Death to a non-contracted pet beast, or even better, to the enemy, it would also be divine."

"I wonder if this skill could be developed in such ways... Nevermind, let's keep it for now."

For the time being, Lu Ran was very satisfied with his gains and shared them with Mr. Husky and the King of Sudden Death through Psychic Sensing.
