The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 21: Chapter 19 Awakening_1

Behind Red Leaf Park, after eating, Lu Ran took a shortcut through the Starlight Villa Area and entered this place.

Every child likes to create a secret base when they're young, and he was no exception.

Moreover, in Lu Ran's opinion, the place was a geomantic treasure.

It was where he found his Insect King that could easily dominate the Insect Fighting competition.

With such a great locale, he didn't need to compete with those old men for resources in Qingming Mountain, the biggest mountain in Green Sea City.

"You can come out now!"

"Woof."

Having arrived behind Red Leaf Park, Lu Ran saw that no one was around and summoned Mr. Husky using the Black Card.

Lu Ran was in good spirits; having the Contract Card and Character Card just made things convenient.

The Black Card allowed him to bring Mr. Husky anywhere.

And the backpack space of the Character Card let him carry many things that were once inconvenient, such as his customized Iron-Chopping Sword.

"In a sense, you and the sword are a good match, after all, there are many places both of you are forbidden from entering."

Mr. Husky looked puzzled: ???

How do you compare that?

"Let's go, we need to go deeper," Lu Ran spoke.

As he continued on his way, Lu Ran recalled key information about attributes awakening.

Through the Beast Training Manual, Lu Ran also learned other methods of awakening attributes.

There are roughly five awakening methods.

One, innate awakening: creatures of Species Level above commander-level have the talent to awaken their attributes shortly after birth.

Clearly, Mr. Husky couldn't, considering all his talent points seemed to have gone into intelligence—who would believe that?

Two, awakening from impact: in nature, low-level creatures without awakened attributes have a slight chance to awaken an attribute if they're attacked with the corresponding elemental power.

But this method was extremely dangerous and likely to be fatal.

Three, advanced energy flow: if high-level creatures could use their energy flow technique to a high degree, they could even infuse their energy into the bodies of other creatures, nourishing them and assisting them in awakening an attribute.

Four, nurtured by a special locale: creatures that stay for a long time in places rich with natural energy also have a chance to awaken an attribute.

But typically, such geomantic treasures are found in Secret Realms, either guarded by powerful Evil Beasts or occupied by influential organizations.

Five, attribute resources: some resources contain the pure power of an attribute, and using them can tap into a creature's potential, causing them to awaken an attribute.

The method they were about to use was this last one.

The Little White Dragon had mentioned that joining the organization would also offer a free chance at attribute awakening.

He guessed it must rely on the advanced techniques of energy flow or the ample natural energy of a geomantic treasure site.

In big organizations, there were definitely many powerful Beast Trainers, and types of Secret Realms called Public Secret realms, with geomantic treasures most certainly seized by these organizations.

However, according to the Little White Dragon, using attribute resources for awakening was more beneficial for a Pet Beast's enhancement and growth.

So, Lu Ran didn't dwell on the other methods.

"Let's do it here." Finally, Lu Ran arrived at a spacious area surrounded by dense green trees with a natural cave.

He took out the Wind Attribute Awakening Fruit from his backpack and looked towards Mr. Husky, who was next to him.

At the moment, Mr. Husky was baring its teeth at a snake not far away—the scarcity of humans in this place was due to the excess of insects and snakes, and unless there was a good reason, no one chose to venture here.

"Ignore it for now." Lu Ran threw out the pineapple-shaped fruit with a white outer skin. The next moment, Mr. Husky turned its head, eyes lit up, and leapt up to clamp the Attribute Fruit in its mouth.

"Woo!" Mr. Husky excitedly bit into the Wind Attribute Fruit, saliva dripping from its mouth.

It could feel the great allure the Wind Attribute Fruit had for it.

"Go ahead and eat," Lu Ran smiled, and upon receiving the command, Mr. Husky opened its mouth wide and stuffed the entire Wind Attribute Fruit inside.

Abyssal Giant Mouth.

"Ugh." But soon it found that the fruit was perhaps too large, not really suitable for eating all at once.

"Woo." Mr. Husky's cheeks puffed, mixing the Attribute Fruit in its mouth and under Lu Ran's incredulous look, it finally swallowed it all.

Huff huff...

Eating the fruit tired out the dog, breathing slowly and heavily.

But soon enough, Mr. Husky's eyes widened as a slightly sky-blue energy slowly emerged from its body...

This was... the Power of Wind!

Witnessing this, Lu Ran also became highly alert, watching intently!

"Woof!!"

On the ground!

After eating the Wind Attribute Fruit, a remarkable force of Wind burst forth from Mr. Husky.

The sky-blue energy, like a faint breeze, wrapped around its body.

Its fur swayed with the breeze due to the energy's turbulence.

A significant presence erupted from it, producing a gentle whirlwind in the surroundings.

The grass on the ground and the green leaves nearby all moved along with its roar!

[Race]: Arctic Dog

[Attribute]: Wind

[Species Level]: Medium Extraordinary

[Growth Level]: Level 4

[skills]: None

"It worked!"

Feeling the breeze on his face, Lu Ran saw Mr. Husky's attribute transformation and was greatly pleased.

He was certain that Mr. Husky's combat power had increased by more than one tier compared to before!

This was the difference between before and after attribute awakening!

"Woof!!!"

After awakening the attribute, Mr. Husky also looked panicked.

But soon enough, it gained control over the newly activated Power of Wind, allowing it to steadily twine and cover its entire body.

Looking at Mr. Husky, now enshrouded in a barely visible sky-blue energy, Lu Ran just felt he was incredibly cool.

Truly like those divine beasts from myths and legends, domineering and majestic.

"Mr. Husky, run a lap around the flat ground."

At that moment, Lu Ran pointed to a relatively open area and commanded.

One lap was about 200 meters, right?

It was perfect for testing Mr. Husky's current speed.

No sooner had Lu Ran finished speaking than Mr. Husky responded with a "woof!" In the next instant, he sprinted off.

He left behind only a sky-blue afterimage in the spot he started from.

No...

In the process of running at full force, he resembled a sky-blue afterimage.

His form was both clear and blurry.

Lu Ran had seen cheetahs run with his own eyes; cheetahs are renowned as the fastest-running animals.

But now, Lu Ran could only say that Mr. Husky's speed had truly blown the cheetah out of the water.

And it was an instant kill without any suspense.

Lu Ran forgot to time it, but in the blink of an eye, the guy had run a lap and come back.

"This is just Level 4, what if it's Level 40?" Lu Ran exclaimed in amazement.

"Woof!"

Looking at Mr. Husky, who came back panting, Lu Ran smiled and said, "Not bad, next is the strength test."

"Woof!" Mr. Husky's expression was calm as he looked at the surrounding stones.

With its claws wrapped in Wind Attribute Energy, it slapped directly onto a stone on the ground.

Crack.

The next moment, the stone seemed to shatter, instantly showing dense, spiderweb-like cracks, and then broke into several pieces.

"Impressive... Indeed, it is a qualitative leap."

Lu Ran crossed his arms in satisfaction and nodded, then stretched out his hand, and a Wooden Sword materialized in his grasp.

"Mr. Husky, catch the sword."

Lu Ran tossed the Wooden Sword, and Mr. Husky leaped up again, biting the sword in mid-air.

"Wrap the Wind Attribute Energy around the Wooden Sword and attack again."

"Woof." Having gained new power, Mr. Husky was evidently addicted to it, and he began searching for that feeling once more.

It didn't take long, and not only was Mr. Husky's body now covered with energy, but the Wooden Sword he held in his mouth also began to swirl with white streams.

This sword was like a "conductor" being naturally wrapped up in Wind Attribute Energy.

Humming...

Soon, along with the Wind Attribute Energy wrapping it, a white and slowly turning blue sword Qi appeared on the brown body of the sword. This blue and white sword Qi was like a swirling storm, continuously emitting the sound of airflow vibrations.

Mr. Husky's gaze was sharp as he watched the sword, and only Lu Ran could understand this piercing look.

It was saying: Swish, swish, swish, a wild slaughter!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Mr. Husky instinctively shook his head and attempted a sword-swinging posture.

The Wooden Sword cleaved through the air, leaving behind a trail of wind, stirring up the surrounding airflows.

Too bad Mr. Husky hadn't mastered the technique of releasing energy yet, otherwise he might have been able to produce Sword Qi!

"This feeling..." As Lu Ran looked at the Wooden Sword, he just felt that Mr. Husky was getting cooler and cooler; he wondered why he hadn't noticed how handsome Husky was before. Now, even if a Rhino known for its defensive power came at them, he felt Mr. Husky could chop it down with one sword strike!

However, handsomeness lasted only three seconds. Before Lu Ran and Mr. Husky could enjoy their happiness or find a new target to test their power...

Bang!!!

The Wooden Sword that Mr. Husky was biting into suddenly exploded.

It turned into sky-full of wood shavings, scattering all over.

The loud noise startled Mr. Husky... and he actually jumped up high.

"What the heck." This scene also left Lu Ran standing beside him with his mouth agape; what... had just happened?

Watching the Wooden Sword explode in Mr. Husky's mouth, Lu Ran was at a loss.

Was it that the Wooden Sword couldn't withstand the wrapping of the Power of Wind...

"Woof!!!" And Mr. Husky, having recovered from the shock, stared sorrowfully at the Wooden Sword turned to sawdust.

His sword! Where was his sword?

He hadn't even made a move yet; how had the sword given out first?

"No worries... this just shows how strong you are," comforted Lu Ran with a grand wave of his hand, undisturbed and not at all concerned about the loss.

He had more.

Lu Ran took out an Iron-Chopping Sword, but looking at its sharp blade and then back at a bewildered Mr. Husky, Lu Ran fell into deep thought. Was it okay to give Mr. Husky such a dangerous weapon now?

"Quack!!!" Boss Lu was pondering,

Suddenly, a black crow flew over from the sky.

It landed on a tree and looked at Lu Ran, cawing a few times.

[My liege, a yellow-furred, black-striped big cat has trespassed on our territory.]

Lu Ran: ?

Lu Ran looked at the crow, which, like the Insect King, was one of his subordinates.

It wasn't just that one; actually, most of the stray cats and dogs in Green Sea City had been subjugated by Lu Ran; one could say the entire city was his network of informants.

If there were a king of the city's wild animal world, it would definitely be Lu Ran.

But after all, this was nothing more than a lingering consequence of practicing Psychic Sensing...

However, this time the message the crow brought was a bit odd, a yellow-furred, black-striped big cat? Huh?
