It can be seen that Lu Ran is still very important in the eyes of the kendo apprentices of Tianhong Dojo.
Faced with their flattery, Lu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Beside him, Fang Lan also had a smile on his face. He had a feeling that the style of this dojo would be distorted in the future because of this weird senior brother Lu Ran... It was already a bit distorted now.
"Oh..." Jiang Dou also sighed.
"I say... whether it's a dog holding a sword or a cat holding a sword..." Lu Ran looked at the handsome and good-looking Junior Brother Ning, Junior Brother Jin with a ponytail, and Junior Sister Fan with a round face and a girlish look, and explained seriously: "You can interact with your pets for entertainment in your daily life, but don't really put your energy into it, or you will go astray."
Next, at the request of Master Jiang Dou, Lu Ran planned the future route for the Three Swordsmen of Tianhong, further allowing them to give up unrealistic ideas such as the cat carrying the dog or the dog carrying the sword.
Wouldn't it be better to just save up money to buy fusion skills and become an orc swordsman?
The beastmaster's talent in swordsmanship, the 2.0 version of super beast mimicry, and the pet's own incredible comprehension are all indispensable if one wants to achieve the goal of the beast holding the sword.
If any of these is missing, it will be difficult for Mr. Ha to comprehend the sword moves.
If not all the conditions were met, Lu Ran would definitely choose the fusion flow in the end. Even now, he has not completely given up on the fusion flow. It is an alternative training direction for the future.
“Oh~~~”
Faced with Senior Brother Lu Ran's teachings, the three junior brothers and sisters chose to obey, but I don't know if they were rebellious.
…
"Let's go."
It was approaching evening.
Lu Ran and Fang Lan walked out of the dojo, called a taxi, and prepared to go out for dinner.
They made an appointment with the pig farmer and others who had arrived in Jinling in advance to go to a Huaiyang restaurant. It was the first offline meeting among netizens.
"Why does your master look so unwell?"
After tidying up the room, Fang Lan went to the training ground to find Lu Ran. At that time, Lu Ran was sparring with Master Jiang Dou, and there was a Husky next to them. Master Jiang Dou's expression was uglier than the dog's.
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just that he feels like he has new motivation." Old man Jiang Dou was stimulated. Seeing that President Ha knew the sword intent, he said he would comprehend the sword intent no matter what. Lu Ran could only say... come on.
There is no hope for the old man to obtain the contract card. Lu Ran can only see if he can find a suitable pet to give to the other party in Green Sea City in the future. Even if he cannot sign a contract, by living with some pets with special abilities day and night, maybe the old man will have a chance to take that step.
Pets have all kinds of abilities and countless directions for cultivation. For example, undead pets can possess humans even without a contract, giving them extraordinary powers. Maybe there are other pets with similar abilities! "Huh, you must have pissed me off." Fang Lan guessed that it must be Lu Ran who asked Mr. Ha to perform sword skills in front of this sword master...
Killing people is heart-breaking!
…
After a while, the two arrived at the restaurant.
In the private room.
Lu Ran and Fang Lan were the last to arrive. There was actually no difference between the dinner in Infinite City and offline dinners. After all, everyone was familiar with each other.
Soon, the seven of them started chatting as usual.
"What is your assessment number?" asked the pig farmer.
This serial number is related to the order of tomorrow's assessment.
Students who have registered for the freshman competition can check it on the official app of Yushou University.
"Hmm...0001." Lu Ran smiled.
"I'm 0002." Fang Lan also smiled. Long live the front row! Several people were surprised.
"Ah? So close to the front?" Lu Dingding was surprised.
"Because I used my connections to get someone to help me sign up early, maybe that has something to do with it. Is your number very late?" Lu Ran asked.
"No, we registered very early." Lu Bing said.
"We asked the pig farmer to use his connections to register us. He seems to know someone from the government."
"Oh, I contacted Sister Hua and asked her to help me sign up through her connections." said the pig farmer.
Lu Ran was speechless: "..."
It feels like you guys are all running around in circles, and it's all Xiaobailong who's doing it all.
Sister Hua must have asked for Xiaobailong’s help, after all, Xiaobailong works at the Beast Taming University.
"Anyway, let's all work hard!" Lu Bing said, "Beastmaster University has not given any indicators on how many people can enter the finals, so we have to go all out in tomorrow's assessment. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if we don't even pass the preliminaries."
"It does feel dangerous." Lu Yi couldn't help but say, "There are 100,000 candidates, and the number of people who can enter the main competition will definitely not be many. After all, the rewards are only announced to the top 100. Will there be only a few hundred people who can enter the main competition?"
"That's too cruel." Lu Dingding said.
"So tomorrow, will there be a large-scale scene where the examiners beat up the candidates???"
"How many people will be eliminated... out of hundreds of people, I'm afraid only one can pass the preliminary assessment..."
"The country's resources are limited, and the number of people who can invest heavily in the fourth generation is definitely not large. A hundred people is about the limit."
“But there should be other rewards for those ranked lower, such as credits after admission, or some crystal coins or even RMB. It’s impossible that there are no rewards at all.” Lu Bing guessed.
The pig farmers were obviously worried about the freshman competition. After all, their pets were only level 10 and they had never entered the breakthrough secret realm, so they couldn't be as calm as Lu Ran and Fang Lan.
"By the way, I also heard a piece of gossip." The pig farmer said, "If this news is true, then there should be a lot of people who can pass the preliminary selection."
"It is said that the Freshman Tournament will be divided into two stages. The best performing Beast Tamers in this preliminary assessment will be selected as seeded players and will be exempted from the first half of the competition. They will be given the green light to directly enter the second half of the competition."
"Where did you hear that?" Fang Lan asked in surprise, "What a great performance."
"I hope it's true." Lu Ran also cast a questioning look.
If he could avoid part of the battle, Lu Ran would naturally be happy. There was nothing wrong with doing that kind of time.
Even if he went to the secret realm a few times, he felt it was more valuable than fighting on the stage.
"Anyway, just try your best to show your best..." Fang Lan said.
The examiner...should have the ability to resist poison? She thought for a moment...
Soon, the topic of conversation among them shifted from the freshman competition to breaking through the secret realm.
When they learned that Fang Lan's breakthrough mission was so cruel, their hearts were gripped.
However, when they learned that Lu Ran's breakthrough mission was a cook assessment, they became even more confused. They felt that no matter whose breakthrough mission it was, it would not be easy to pass.
"Mine is not difficult. If you encounter this breakthrough mission, as long as you have the ability to hunt creatures of the ruling race, master some simple fire skills, and know how to control the heat when cooking, you can basically pass it by relying on the quality of the ingredients." Lu Ran smiled.
A certain white tiger sister got through it this way.
Several people were speechless: ...
Damn, this isn’t that difficult. Although they can defeat the creatures that rule the race by working as a team, but alone... it’s definitely suicide!
"The food is here, let's eat quickly." Just then, a waiter started serving the food. Fang Lan saw this and quickly interrupted the conversation. She wanted to go back and familiarize herself with her fusion skills. Besides, she had to get up early tomorrow, so she didn't have time for too much entertainment tonight.
…
At night, after returning to the dojo and separating from Fang Lan, Lu Ran recalled the conversation they had just had at the dinner table.
Is there really such a thing as seeded players?
He couldn't help but call Manager Ying.
"What?"
"Manager Ying, I heard that some seeded players will be selected in the preliminaries, and they can be exempted from some battles and directly advance to the top rankings. Is this true?"
Manager Ying said: "Well, I want to know how much money you want..."
Lu Ran said: "From what you said, it must be true. After all, how can you accept money for false information? Thank you, good night."
Having said that, Lu Ran hung up the phone.
Manager Ying was confused: ??? You bastard!!! You don’t even want to pay a penny, right!!!
Lu Ran obviously didn't want to waste too much time fighting with outsiders.
Although the battle does not take much time, you still have to go to the venue in advance. It is inevitable to waste a few days going back and forth.
If he could be a seeded player and avoid some battles, Lu Ran would naturally want it.
"Instead of directly recommending the beastmasters on the Divine Pet Ranking, we will recommend students who have performed well in the preliminary selection."
“What a hassle…”
“Wait, there can’t be any shady dealings, right? Someone wants to send their own people up through this link…” Lu Ran shook his head. It shouldn’t be possible. How could he have such a dark idea?
Even if some city leaders really thought about it and wanted to use this to cheat the alliance of resources, the problem is that the examiners this time were temporarily transferred from other places, and they have no strength. If a real fight comes, they will be exposed.
In the preliminary selection... and the battle with the examiner... he performed well. Lu Ran was troubled. How could he be considered excellent? Otherwise, should he let Mr. Ha go? If he burst out with all his strength, he might be able to suppress the examiner for a while. He should be considered excellent after all.
But it has been agreed that King of Death will be on the field. Tomorrow's preliminary examination will be in a 1VS1 format, so only one of Mr. Ha and King of Death can go on the field.
If the King of Death goes up, it will only get beaten and will not be very aggressive unless it is seriously injured. However, the examiner will not kill the King of Death. This guy will have no problem passing the assessment normally, but Lu Ran cannot guarantee whether he can be recommended as a seeded player.
"Yes."
Suddenly, Lu Ran had an idea.
………………
The next morning, it was still dark.
Lu Ran took Mr. Ha and King of Sudden Death into the secret training realm.
They were all confused. What was Lu Ran doing getting up so early in the morning?
"King of Sudden Death, today I will teach you a new tactic!!!"
"You can use it in the assessment later."
"I named it: Thunder God! It is a very destructive move."
Wang Meng died suddenly:? It looked down at itself, its destructive power? What a joke.
I haven't even figured out how to discharge electricity yet, where does Thor come from?
"Your Overlord's Heart talent allows you to absorb damage, accumulate 'Heroic Aura', and strengthen your next attack."
"Before the test tomorrow, we will go to the toilet in the test center and sneak into the Infinite City's secret training area. Let Boss Ha beat you half to death, so that you can absorb enough damage. Then, we will use the Divine Deer Pendant to recover your injuries. In this way, not only can you go on the field without any injuries, but you will also accumulate a lot of 'dominance'. When the time comes, you can use the damage accumulated from Boss Ha to explode on the examiner's pet. Do you understand what I mean?"
“Woof woof woof woof!!” Upon hearing this, Mr. Ha was shocked. I may not be a human, but you are really not a human. Let’s observe two seconds of silence for the sudden death of Wang.
King Sudden Death was also startled, with a look of shock on his face. Wow, how could there be such a devilish beastmaster?
Absolute Defense, Overlord's Heart, and the Deer Pendant, is this how you use them together? ? ! Charge up your ultimate skill in advance? ? This time, the examiner probably doesn't know how his pet died.
"Come on, let's try it out first and see how powerful it is..."
"We need to master this tactic. It will be very useful in the future. It feels like a killer move that is ten times more powerful than Storm Slash."
In the future, if there are similar competitions or secret realms that can be prepared in advance, you can use it.
Lu Ran held the divine deer pendant, and Mr. Ha also picked up the ice-sky greatsword prepared by Lu Ran. Both sides expressed their willingness to accompany the King of Sudden Death to study new tactics.
King of Death: “Roar!!!”
[It’s over. I’m really going to die this time. Thank you Orz…]
