At this moment, although the Tyrannosaurus Rex team has intervened, the freshman competition at the Beastmaster University is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Lu Ran's opponent in the next round decisively gave up the moment the news of Lu Ran's victory over the Tyrannosaurus Rex team came back.

He was rated as the "most powerful" Beast Tamer by the majority of fourth-generation Beast Tamers.

As a result, Mr. Lu advanced...without a fight.

And now, Lu Ran just wanted to laugh, because he had advanced again, and his next opponent... was none other than Fang Lan.

Fang Lan is having a terrible headache right now.

To be honest, even if Lu Ran was not that strong, Fang Lan would still have a headache because what she feared most was the wind element.

She was very lucky in the first few games. Although the opponents she met also prepared wind-type and poison-resistant equipment, the high-level equipment did not restrict her much.

But here with Lu Ran, the wind-based skills are compressed several or ten times at any time, so the poison-based skills are really impossible to play.

"I'll give up as well. I'll go prepare for the loser bracket and won't waste my time here with you."

Knowing that he could not beat Lu Ran, Fang Lan stopped struggling in vain and chose to lie down.

She is no longer the strong-willed sister who was determined to compete with Lu Ran when she just became a beastmaster.

"Puff." Just like that, Lu Ran won again without a fight and was one step closer to the king's pet egg.

Now, we have entered the top 8.

Fight 3 more battles and you can win the final grand prize.

And the remaining seven people are all tough guys.

Ruluehuluxia is the only known freshman in the freshman competition, besides Lu Ran, whose pet has mastered the art of shaping.

For example, Du Yuan from the official strategy team, his pet's first attribute was awakened to the space system, which was equivalent to being born with a second-place bonus, and his pet had the qualifications of being one in a million.

For example, Youxiong Anlin from the "Living Fossil", the largest guild in Xia Country, has a contract with the national treasure panda. The panda pet possesses both light and dark attributes, just like the light and dark butterfly that topped the list of the divine pets that Lu Ran saw in the No. 3 Infinite City.

Then there is the superpower sister... her own strength is comparable to that of a psychic pet, and she is also incredibly talented.

These people all came in a sudden. For example, Pluto, who was familiar to Lu Ran, was directly stabbed to pieces by the Fire Flow Summer, and Sister White Tiger was beaten up by the national treasure beast.

"Lucky, I finally met her."

As the competition progressed, Lu Ran's next opponent was finally determined.

The successor of the Luohuoliu spear technique, Xia Ri.

…

At this moment, the domestic audience can be said to be very frustrated.

Ever since Lu Ran crushed the Tyrannosaurus Rex team, his reputation once became the strongest among the four generations of Xia Kingdom.

This is not only the opinion of the public in Xia country, but also the opinion of the international community.

It can be predicted that Lu Ran’s upcoming freshman competition will attract much attention.

Unfortunately, the audience waited for a long time, but what they saw was the two opponents giving up one after another.

Fortunately, in the summer, no players gave up early, which directly raised the expectations for this match.

"Dean Chu, you hid it so well. I didn't expect Lu Ran to be the culinary professor of your training department."

The game hasn't started yet, and Lu Ran hasn't appeared yet. I don't know if it's a script or a real emotion, Dean Kong of the History Department couldn't help but say.

"Haha, not only you, I was also surprised. Professor Lu Ran only came to me after the freshman competition had already started. When I learned that he mastered the Dragon Cooking Intentions, I was also shocked."

What he meant was that Professor Lu Ran signed up for the freshman competition first and then became a professor. It was not the case that a professor from the training department beat the freshmen. Don't talk nonsense~ Dean Chu Yan smiled, and next to him, Dean Kong sighed, wondering how the Forging Department and the Training Department had such good luck.

Dean Qin from the Combat Department must be jealous. Such a powerful newcomer is not from the Combat Department...

However, Dean Kong also understood that the Yan Ling that Lu Ran inherited was specially developed for forging and cooking by Yan Sizhen, who was known as the ancestor of forging and cooking. It was understandable that Lu Ran made such a choice.

Hey, their history department... when will some powerful people appear? Archaeological research on the history of Xingyue Continent is also very interesting! If they dig up some traces of legendary creatures, even if they get half a star of benefit, it will be a genesis-like advancement for the beast control field of Blue Star.

"Next, we will have the quarter-finals of the freshman competition, with Lu Ran, a freshman from the Forging Department, competing against Xia Ri, a freshman from the Combat Department!" As the referee of the freshman competition, Xu Pingze now really wants to add other titles to Lu Ran, such as Professor of the Cultivation Department.

But unfortunately... this is not in compliance with the regulations.

Next, to the cheers of the audience, Lu Ran, wearing a black combat coat, and Xia Ri, the Fire-Swallowing Hermit, wearing a red dress, walked out from both sides of the venue at the same time.

Xia Ri held a long spear with a red tassel. In order to respect the opponent's style, Lu Ran also displayed his weapon in advance, with the sword hanging at his waist.

As soon as the two appeared on the stage, their tit-for-tat aura made the audience realize that this battle would be very interesting.

In the second half of the freshman competition, the three deans talked more. Dean Qin Ming deliberately asked Dean Kong: "Dean Kong, can you introduce the two fighting styles?"

"No problem. We have seen Xia Ri's fighting style before. He combines with his pet and fights with a gun. It is a standard style in which a beastmaster fights on the field himself."

"This school of thought can actually be roughly divided into three types. One focuses on long-range skills, one focuses on physical combat, and one focuses on cold weapon combat."

"Because most beastmasters have no experience in fighting or using weapons, even if they choose this style, they usually go for the 'Mage Style', which focuses on training the release skills."

"Schools like Xia Ri's are still relatively rare. After all, it is difficult to master the use of a weapon in just one or two years. You need to have the corresponding experience and talent before becoming a beastmaster."

"Um……"

"As for Lu Ran... he is even rarer."

"Beast pets use weapons to fight... This is actually a new type of beast pet fighting style that the Beast Tamer Empire intends to develop in 2023 of the Imperial Calendar in order to prepare for war. That is, on the basis of protective gear, the beast pets are further armed."

"This year, the Beast Taming Empire opened up many new schools in order to strengthen the Beast Taming Corps. Some of them were successful, while others failed."

"This school of thought cannot be considered a success, but it cannot be considered a failure either. It cannot be considered a success because it has not demonstrated sufficient war potential in the short term, and the evolutionary ceiling of biological weapons is not high."

"It's not considered a failure because the plan was temporarily halted due to the early start of the war, and no one was able to see its final appearance."

"After the war, the Beast Taming Empire was already on the verge of collapse and riddled with holes. The national strength was severely depleted, so naturally there was not enough energy to complete this research. In addition, the previous research materials were lost, and it was not started again until later."

"Through 'Abyss Difficulty·Novice Secret Realm·Abandoned Test Site', we can get a rough idea of ​​this history. The first trait of Lu Ran's Wind Sword Dog is a fusion of the 'Weapon Control Trait' dropped from the abandoned test site."

"But compared to Contestant Lu Ran, I don't recommend that you follow suit and conquer this secret realm, because according to current records, no beastmaster's pet has ever perfectly integrated the characteristics of weapon control. This is an immature evolutionary route, just like the Beast Taming Empire has not completely conquered this evolutionary route."

After Dean Kong finished speaking, many people looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran and his team should be considered the first to perfectly control the weapon and master the trait, right? Everyone didn't believe that Lu Ran's Erha didn't perfectly integrate this trait. He could fly a sword and use both swords at the same time. If this is not considered a perfect integration, then what is?

The Beast Taming Empire has not thoroughly studied the evolutionary route. Is Lu Ran planning to continue on this path?

at the same time.

"Come on!" Xia Ri pointed the gun at Lu Ran.

If Xia Ri had enough confidence to face Lu Ran before, now, as Lu Ran killed the Tyrannosaurus Rex team indiscriminately, Xia Ri had no confidence at all.

However, giving up was not her style, so she still chose to go on stage and fight Lu Ran.

At her call, a cockatiel like a phoenix was summoned out by her! ! Xia Ri's pet is a parrot, which she and her gun master raised together. It is very human. After accidentally obtaining the black card Xia Ri's contract, the parrot showed an unusually high talent and understanding, and is a perfect partner for Xia Ri.

"Boss Ha."

After Boss Ha came out, Lu Ran threw the sword at his waist to it. Boss Ha jumped up, picked up the Fengshuang Sword, and looked at his new opponent.

"call……"

Facing this dragon-slaying vicious dog, Xia Ri did not hesitate and immediately merged with the pet. In an instant, bird wings burning with flames spread out on both sides of his body, and his short hair also turned into a flaming orange-red! !

She wielded her spear, and the spear intent burst out. The tip of the spear seemed to be holding a sun, emitting amazing heat, making the entire venue blurry.

People seemed to see another sun above the ring, echoing the scorching sun in the sky.

"It appears. The fire-plundering spear will, the spear will that can plunder the power of the sun's flames!!"

Seeing the heroic Xia Ri showing off her skills right away, many of her supporters still hope that she can put some pressure on Lu Ran.

"Big sister with the gun, come on!!!"

"Come on, Sister Xia Ri!!"

Since everyone knew that Lu Ran would win, there was an overwhelming amount of cheering at the venue...but everyone was cheering for Xia Ri.

The main reason was that Lu Ran’s opponent in the third round, Fang Lan, was too disappointing and did not compete with Lu Ran, which made the audience look at Xia Ri with new eyes.

Xia Ri...is still the only contestant who has the courage to face Lu Ran.

"You also know sword intent, right?"

At this time, Xia Ri held a gun and asked Lu Ran.

She felt that Lu Ran was of the same kind as her and should also have sword intent! Otherwise, he would not have said that to her in the first place.

"Indeed."

After Lu Ran finished speaking, the whole audience suddenly became quiet, waiting for the conversation between the two.

"Haha, as expected, you still didn't use your full strength when you faced the Tyrannosaurus Rex team. At that time, you didn't even use your beast control skills."

"Alright, quickly bless it with your beast taming skills that contain the flame dragon's artistic conception."

"At least... let me see the Flame Dragon Sword Intent!"

Xia Ri waved his spear, indicating that he wanted to see Boss Ha in a stronger state.

Since Lu Ran's Flame Spirit skill can allow King Sudden Death to possess a new state of mind of a Flame Dragon, then it can certainly allow this Husky to possess a similar state of mind.

In addition, Erha has the ability to control weapons, and there is an 80% chance that it can be combined into sword intent!

A dog that knows sword skills!

Hearing the conversation between the two, the scene suddenly became lively.

"Fuck, no way, can Erha also use the Flame Dragon Realm?"

"Lu Ran just gave a positive reply! I thought that the Flame Spirit that contained the Flame Dragon's artistic conception could only be applied to dragon species, or that it could only be used by Lu Ran himself."

"If that Husky can also master the state of mind of a dragon, that would be too scary. Team Tyrannosaurus Rex will faint in the toilet crying."

"Woof!"

However, at this time, Mr. Ha, with the Fenghan Sword in his mouth, was completely dismissive of the Flame Dragon's artistic conception.

It had clearly shown its sword intent a long time ago!

Dragon-slaying sword intent!

It’s just that the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent is not easily detected by the outside world except by the opponent himself.

With the dragon-slaying sword intent, Mr. Ha naturally no longer cares about the dragon's artistic conception. It is definitely not because he cannot use it well or cannot learn it.

"Need not."

"It doesn't fit the dragon's mood."

Lu Ran rejected Xia Ri.

"Besides, it's different from your situation."

Xia Ri itself does not master the spear intent, and the fire-type cockatoo does not master the spear intent either. They only master the shaping of the sun's artistic conception.

Only when she merges with her pet, her experience in spearmanship plus the pet's ability to shape her artistic conception will combine into spear intent.

Obviously, Xia Ri thought that Mr. Ha was in this situation as well, but little did he know that Lu Ran had both positive and negative super dog mimicry.

"Even if my Wind Sword Dog doesn't rely on the power of the Beast Tamer, even if I don't rely on the power of my pet, we still have the will of the sword in our own hands!"

Lu Ran still had some admiration for Xia Ri. After all, he was the only beastmaster Lu Ran had seen who had mastered the artistic conception of weapons. They could be considered a fellow traveler. Unfortunately, the opponent's gun intent was not perfect.

"What?" After Lu Ran finished speaking, the scene became noisy again, and Xia Riren's face also changed.

The next moment.

A strong blizzard sword intent burst out, and Mr. Ha, holding the wind-cold sword in his mouth, had a completely different aura than before. His black and white hair fluttered with the icy wind, and the extremely cold blizzard spread out from his body! ! Although the artistic conception quality of the tiny blizzard is lower than that of the sun, the strength depends on the degree of development of the artistic conception by both parties. Mr. Ha's development of the blizzard sword intent, with the blessing of the talent of the wind sword technique, showed a new effect for the first time! The blizzard sword intent can also be regarded as a sword skill containing the power of wind!

Boom! In an instant, the heat on the field was quickly dissipated. With the sound of "crackling", the entire field was covered with a layer of frost. Xia Ri's feet were already covered with a layer of ice and snow! The next moment, even her clothes were covered with white frost, and the temperature of the entire field dropped sharply! Xia Ri was shocked.

I didn't expect that this Husky could master the sword spirit without the help of the beastmaster...

The most important thing is that it is so powerful.

In an instant, the blazing sun seemed to be frozen, and a blizzard engulfed the summer day—

There was even a blue sword energy flashing before my eyes!

Bang.

The spear in her hand was directly knocked away. In the battle of artistic conception, momentum is particularly important.

Mr. Ha's sword intent easily defeated the opponent's gun intent!

“This…” At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw President Ha display a new power that he had never displayed before in the fight against the Tyrannosaurus Rex team or even Lu Ran.

I just find it unbelievable.

How strong are Lu Ran and the others?

Why does it feel like there is no bottom? Is the gap between geniuses so huge?

“Hahahahaha, old man Xia, what do you think!!” At the same time, in Tianhong Dojo, old man Jiang Dou was talking on the phone with Xia Ri’s master. He was very excited when he saw the live broadcast. He thought that he was indeed his granddaughter. Well done, Erha!! “Old man Jiang, don’t be too proud too soon.” Xia Ri’s master gritted his teeth, not understanding how Jiang Dou had such good luck to have such a disciple.

However, the two bickering old men were both stunned the next moment.

During the competition, Lu Ran invited Xia Ri, who had lost in the battle between sword and spear, directly: "Your spear still has flaws. Why don't you learn cooking from me? Cooking, spear, and sword all lead to the same goal. There is no essential difference in power. This process can make your spear more perfect."

Lu Ran…actually poached people on the spot! Master Jiang, Master Xia: ??? Dean of the Combat Department Qin Ming: ???

Damn, you kid, you’ve already started tricking good students into changing their majors before the class even starts, right?
