King of Beasts

Chapter 133: General Ha’s Second Trait

Across the ocean.

Eight young men and women, dressed in gray special ops uniforms, were preparing to embark on a journey to Public Infinite City.

Their faces radiated confidence, exuding an aura far beyond their years.

This group was none other than the ace beast taming team, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team, from the fourth-generation beastmasters of the Eagle Federation.

“Rex, how many countries’ ‘fourth-gens’ do you think will come to challenge us?”

“Not sure, but some from Xia Country will probably come, especially after Ian’s provocative remarks during the interview.”

“Haha. Can’t help it. It’s just funny how our artistic conception of the dragon caused such a stir over there.” Ian said.

“That ‘Gu Qingyi’ was lucky, probably gained the first Loong-type through a special breakthrough secret realm. But it looks like the next ones, the many Loong-types, will be born among us.”

As they gathered before departure, discussing the upcoming challenges, a researcher with short blond hair, dressed in a white lab coat, entered the room.

“Dr. Carson?” Rex, the team leader, said. “What’s up?”

The researcher looked at them and said, “Someone from Xia Country responded to yesterday’s interview. Not officially, but personally—a fourth-generation beastmaster.”

“They might come to challenge us.”

“It’s the one whose pet beast is a red-eyed eagle lizard. The one named Lu Ran, whose pet beast has comprehended the artistic conception of the dragon.”

“Him?” Ian from the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team said. “Let him come!”

“What’s the matter, Dr. Carson? Are you here to warn us about him? No need. Any one of us could probably thrash him easily.”

A red-eyed eagle lizard, before evolution, is just a small lizard.

But a Tyrannosaurus Rex, now that’s the undisputed King of Lizards, an ancient overlord!

The dragon genes within it are incomparable to any modern animal.

Even among the Sub-dragon Species of the Star-Moon Continent, it’s an exceptionally powerful species.

“No!” Dr. Carson said. “The only one among you who can 100% defeat him is Rex.”

“Just recently, in the Freshman Tournament at Xia Country’s beast taming university, this Lu Ran showcased his beast taming skill.”

“Words aren’t enough. Let me show you the first-hand intelligence we received.”

With that, he pulled out a laptop and displayed the live broadcast video where the Thunder Flame Dragon annihilated the turtle and snake.

The team had previously analyzed Gong Kaixin’s turtle and snake, noting its solid attack and defense.

But seeing it get crushed by the sudden transformation of the Thunder Flame Dragon left the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team in shock.

“According to our intelligence analysts, the beast taming skill he mastered is called Flame Sprite. It dates back to the second generation emperor of the Beast Taming Empire and was his signature skill鈥”extremely powerful!”

“This skill has a certain growth potential. Lu Ran’s Flame Sprite has evidently been developed to contain a special power of the flame dragon!”

“When this power of the flame dragon is fused into that thunder-type Dragon Lizard, it forms a unique Thunder Flame Dragon power. Although this explosive power seems uncontrollable even for them, the Dragon Lizard’s defense is astonishing. It uses ‘hard resistance’ to turn this unstable form into a powerful ultimate move.”

“It’s similar to energy compression; it has destructive power but also comes with a cost to itself.”

“Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s defense isn’t weak, to be on the safe side, you should make one last preparation before setting off.”

“The research institute has prepared special resources to enhance resistance to thunder and fire elements…”

“That’s overly cautious,” a few of them laughed.

They felt that being overly prepared wasn’t necessary.

After all, it was just a power that the opponent hadn’t perfectly mastered. They just needed to be careful.

But since Dr. Carson insisted, they didn’t mind.

Why not take free resources?

They spared a moment of silence for Lu Ran…

Why be so high-profile? Exposing his intelligence so early, isn’t he just asking to be targeted?

“Let’s move quickly,” said Rex, the team’s steady leader.

His Tyrannosaurus Rex, after undergoing two trait fusions, was the strongest among them. It had evolved into a low-tier sovereign species, the only true king, and was the strongest bulwark of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team.

No matter who the opponent was, they couldn’t break through his line of defense. Lu Ran’s Thunder Flame Dragon would be no exception.

…

Xia Country.

After finishing his match with Gong Kaixin, Lu Ran quickly left the arena, watching only the match of his next opponent.

However, these two were even weaker than Gong Kaixin.

So now, his focus was entirely on General Ha and the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team.

General Ha had been at level 19 for some time. After Lu Ran told General Ha about the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team yesterday, General Ha began training even harder and eating even more.

When Sudden Death King had free time, General Ha would chase it to practice Dragon Slayer Sword intent.

When Sudden Death King wasn’t available, General Ha would empty its mind, gradually gaining wisdom, and meditate on the trees and stones in the training secret realm, hypnotizing itself into believing they were dragons, and then slashing them.

By the time Lu Ran arrived, General Ha had already combined the Dragon Slayer artistic conception with various energy techniques to develop a killer move!

Sky Piercing Rising Dragon Slash!

This move fused high-speed energy flow and energy compression, a technique for close combat with dragons, with General Ha holding the sword in its mouth.

When executed, General Ha would become like a combat tornado, swirling with wind and moving at lightning speed, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword in its mouth, and any Dragon Clan member it passed would be sent flying.

It was the first time General Ha used tenfold energy compression to increase speed.

Fortunately, its current energy control and body strength were sufficient to handle tenfold energy compression. Otherwise, executing this move would result in more than just losing teeth—it would lead to complete shattering of its bones!

Clearly, not “understanding” this move too early was General Ha’s way of avoiding its bones ending up like its teeth—useless.

“Take a break,” Lu Ran said, seeing how hard General Ha was working.

“Woof!”

“Alright, continue then. I’ll check on the public secret realm. The Tyrannosaurus Rex Team is probably starting.”

With that, Lu Ran returned, connected to the internet, and saw that someone had already recorded and uploaded videos of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team’s defense results.

This defense event was a 1v1 format, with the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team only using their Tyrannosaurus Rex pet beasts for the matches.

As soon as the arena was set up, beastmasters from the Eagle Federation’s affiliated countries came to challenge the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex.

These challengers might not have sought victory but were eager to witness the power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex firsthand. They hoped to showcase their talents and receive an invitation from the Eagle Federation, thus joining this grand project.

In the videos, the terrifying King of Lizards, nearly 20 meters long, displayed overwhelming strength. Whether the opponent was a Siberian Tiger, Polar Bear, Elephant, or Lion King, none could withstand a single blow!

It was a clear message to the world—no modern fierce beast could match up to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

“Indeed, very strong,” Lu Ran murmured thoughtfully as he continued to watch the battle videos. The Tyrannosaurus Rex Team rotated its defenders. When one member got tired, they would rest, and another would take their place.

However, each member possessed terrifying strength. In Lu Ran’s opinion, they were much stronger than Zhou Mo or Gong Kaixin, possibly by a significant margin.

Although Ian, the interviewee, spoke arrogantly, these individuals certainly had the strength to contend for the top 10 in the Freshman Tournament. Based on the current performance of the beastmasters in the tournament, the combined pressure from the Tyrannosaurus Rex species and the artistic conception of the dragon was nearly overwhelming.

In terms of attributes, these Tyrannosaurus Rexes had a variety—fire, thunder, earth, and rock. As for traits, they had fused ancient bloodline traits and dragon progeny traits. All were at level 20, fully activating their dragon potential.

While Lu Ran was watching, Manager Ying showed up again.

“What are you here for this time?”

“Shall I leave then?”

“No, no, stay.”

“Hmph!” Manager Ying snorted. “I’ve brought you a resource.”

“Hmm?”

Manager Ying tossed out a resource, which turned out to be a fruit in elemental form.

Lu Ran took a look and was immediately stunned.

[Name]: Wind King’s Fruit

[Level]: Exquisite

“Not buying it,” Lu Ran said decisively.

“Pfft,” Manager Ying retorted. “Who said I was selling it to you?”

“This is a gift from the principal of the Beast Taming University the same First Generation who promised an exquisite resource to anyone who could thrash the Tyrannosaurus Rex Team. Upon learning of your challenge, he prepaid a portion of your ‘salary’ from the Culinary Department professors.”

“Your General Ha is about to fuse with the Nature Control trait. To acquire a decent species talent, your pet beast must possess strong energy control to perfectly integrate with the Nature Control trait.”

“General Ha should be capable, but when it comes to energy control, the more, the better. This Wind King’s Fruit will allow it to reach the pinnacle of wind control, comparable to a wind sovereign.”

“Additionally, it should instantly bring it to level 20. Besides that, it will significantly help in raising its species level during evolution, unlocking more potential.”

“Prepaid salary, huh? That’s acceptable,” Lu Ran remarked, not finding the Wind King’s Fruit particularly precious. Being the first Dragon Chef, such compensation seemed reasonable.

“Alright, I’m off then!” Lu Ran took the Wind King’s Fruit and immediately returned to Infinite City, heading to the training secret realm where General Ha was hard at work.

With the Wind King’s Fruit and the Nature Control trait crystal in hand, Lu Ran was ready for the next phase of General Ha’s evolution.

First, he used the Wind King’s Fruit to enhance General Ha to level 20, granting it control over wind energy comparable to a wind sovereign. Then, he began the trait fusion process.

The Nature Control trait!

One of the top-level traits, it significantly boosts species level.

Its effect allows a pet beast to control not only the energy generated within its own body but also the corresponding natural energy from the environment to a certain extent.

“Awwoooo”

During this trait fusion, perhaps due to the trait’s unique nature, General Ha’s staged evolution unleashed a massive weather phenomenon.

As the fusion light flickered, chaotic gales erupted from General Ha’s body, and its black and white fur began to grow longer, flowing gracefully in the wind.

Of course, the most affected at this moment was the sky. Lu Ran shielded his eyes from the fierce wind with one arm, looking up to see the clouds in the training secret realm being blown apart, as if split by a mighty sword. Against the backdrop of the clouds, the sky seemed divided, leaving a deep sword mark.

Boom!!!

But what left Lu Ran truly speechless was the sight of the wind elemental force, almost solidified, seemingly surrounding the not-so-bright General Ha on the ground like a new sovereign!

Countless gales converged, heralding the birth of a new king.

During this process, the wind elemental force beneath the sky began compressing to the extreme onefold, twofold… tenfold… twentyfold. The Sky Sword of twentyfold compression, initially an awe-inspiring image stretching tens of meters long, gradually shrank to a normal size.

Simultaneously, General Ha’s form began to change. Beyond the lengthening fur, its tail grew longer than an average husky’s, becoming exceptionally sleek and dense, as if the entire body had fused with the wind, exuding an impressive aura.

Buzz!!!

In midair, the Sky Sword condensed from natural wind instantly descended, caught by General Ha’s tail.

General Ha’s domineering gaze made Lu Ran pause. He tossed out the Ice Sky Greatsword, and in the next instant, General Ha also held a giant greatsword in its mouth. With swords in both its mouth and tail, it formed the perfect Dual Sword School stance.

A powerful, unmatched breath emanated from General Ha, like a cyclone!

“Awooooo!!!!”

[Name]: Gale Sword Dog

[Attribute]: Wind

[Species Level]: Upper Commander (Low Sovereign)

[Growth Level]: Level 20

[Species Talent]: King of Swords

Gale Swordsmanship (Capable of freely controlling sword-type weapons formed by natural wind. When this pet beast uses sword techniques imbued with wind force, the power, level, and effect of the sword techniques are significantly enhanced!)

“Wow, Dual Sword School,” Lu Ran couldn’t help but exclaim. Gale Swordsmanship?

He now only wanted to know what this wind force encompassed, like whether a spatial storm counted as containing wind force!
