"I'm sorry, but the Flame Spirit and the Thunder Dragon are not very compatible. Once possessed, it is not easy for it to control its power."

At this moment, seeing that the princess didn't look very good, Lu Ran said helplessly.

The might of the Thunder Flame Dragon was indeed too strong, and the King of Sudden Death was not easy to control either. Even within the team, only Ha could deal with it head-on.

"King of sudden death!"

Although the princess was only slightly affected, the head of the Yanfeng family still wanted to scold the King of Sudden Death.

Lu Ran didn't react much, but Wang, who really died suddenly, was shocked.

Fortunately, in the end Yan Feng just sighed slightly, knowing that Lu Ran could not be blamed.

Who would have known that in a contest of momentum between a level 3 Beastmaster and a level 5 Royal Beastmaster, the Royal Beastmaster would be suppressed.

"I told you, I'm fine."

The Seventh Princess calmed down and regained her composure. She looked at the Wind Demon King who had also recovered, and at the Dragon King who had died suddenly with lightning and fire intertwined on his body, and took a deep breath.

"The second stage of the Flame Spirit is indeed powerful..."

"The dragon might it had just now gave me a feeling that was very similar to the dragon might that remains in the Flame Dragon Sanctuary."

"And its current posture almost made me think that Emperor Yan Sizhen and his war pet had returned."

Yan Feng also felt what the princess meant, and was also quite shocked. Indeed, the appearance and intimidation of the King of Sudden Death at this moment were too similar to the power of the Dragon King that remained in the Flame Dragon Sanctuary.

It was as if the King of Sudden Death was the offspring of the Fire Dragon King.

Will Emperor Yan be reborn and the Dragon King return?

"Let's stop here." Although the Seventh Princess felt that she had underestimated the enemy and was affected a little, she was not angry. On the contrary, she was very happy in her heart, and there was a little more appreciation in her eyes when she looked at Lu Ran.

She originally came here to test whether Lu Ran was the talent she imagined. Now that the test result is out, Lu Ran's performance is far beyond her expectations, so she is naturally very happy.

On the contrary, if Lu Ran was killed instantly when facing her threat, she would feel regretful.

"So strong..." At the same time, Yan Yingying and Yan Feng began to re-examine Lu Ran's strength and potential.

…………

On that day, this little incident made the people of the Yan clan nervous, wondering what impact would occur after the seventh princess returned.

It can be said that whatever the Yan clan fears will come to them. In the palace, after testing Lu Ran's strength, the seventh princess immediately returned to find her mother and also called Emperor Yun Hao.

The Seventh Princess told Yun Hao everything about her fight with Lu Ran, and Yun Hao was extremely surprised after hearing it.

"Is the Flame Spirit of Emperor Yan Sizhen so powerful?" He had only heard of Flame Spirit skills, but had never fought against a Beastmaster who had truly cultivated a high-level Flame Spirit.

"That young man himself is also very extraordinary. He can even make a contract with the overlord dragon clan." The emperor and empress sighed.

"There is one more thing, Dad." Next, the Seventh Princess reported to Yun Hao what she had heard from Lu Ran, that the upper limit of humanity was blocked by the legendary race.

This incident surprised Yun Hao even more than the fact that the Seventh Princess lost to an unknown boy in the intimidation competition.

"Dad, is what he said true?"

"It's true... I have never told you about this. I only learned about it from my master. Who is the master of this King of Sudden Death? He even knows such a thing..."

"This king who died suddenly seems to be quite extraordinary. Not only is he the descendant of Emperor Yan Sizhen, he also has a contract with the overlord dragon clan. Now it seems that the master who taught him is also a master." Yun Hao was surprised.

"Even I only worry about the affairs of the empire, but he, a mere third-level beastmaster, has already had the desire to challenge legendary life and open up a future for the human race."

"It's different. As an emperor, you naturally have to devote your energy to the safety of the empire. He is a third-level beastmaster and has no pressure. Naturally, he can have higher aspirations." The empress said slowly.

“That’s not easy.”

"Xiao Qi, well done. It seems that this King of Sudden Death is indeed a rare talent. However, in this case, the Yan Clan will protect him like a treasure..."

"Dad, this King of Sudden Death returned to the Yan Clan, and it seems that he hopes to use the power of the Yan Clan to subdue more powerful pets."

"In this regard, the Royal Family can provide much more help than the Yan Family."

"Father, marriage, my daughter is willing to marry this king who died suddenly, in this way..."

"No!" Yun Hao was stunned for a moment, then stood up angrily and said, "You are just an heir of a flame spirit, but you are not worthy of marrying my daughter. What's the difference between doing this and sacrificing you?"

The emperor and empress did not expect that the seventh princess would have such an idea.

Only the Seventh Princess herself looked aggrieved. She said, "I just want to share your pressure. Throughout history, there have been several princesses who were used as political tools to marry into the various imperial clans. Didn't my sister..."

"I don't hate this King of Death anyway. If he can help my father, I don't mind marrying him."

“That’s not the question!”

“Oh.” Yun Hao just felt helpless. If he wasn’t too weak, far inferior to the first and second generation emperors, and had no way to deal with the changes in the four ferocious beast empires, how could he let his little daughter who was less than 20 years old share the pressure with him.

"This King of Sudden Death is indeed a talented person, but I don't know him at all, so I won't let you marry him so easily."

"I've figured it out."

Yun Hao took the Empress's hand and said, "Empress, what do you think if I accept this King of Death as my apprentice?"

"apprentice?"

The Empress was surprised and asked, "You are still young. You can't teach the princes and princesses, and you have never accepted a disciple. Have you thought about it?"

"It's better than marriage."

Beside her, the Seventh Princess was slightly startled. Well, no matter what, as long as her father could attract such a talent, she would feel relieved.

However, teaching an apprentice would still require my father to expend energy, and it feels like it would be less troublesome than forming a marriage alliance.

…………

The other side.

In the Yan Emperor's family, Lu Ran suddenly learned something very devastating.

The so-called ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to one's roots is only held within the family. Although it will be publicized to the outside world, other families will not be invited to participate.

In other words... no one is giving gifts anymore! For Lu Ran, this is more painful than killing him.

Of course, the senior members of the Yan Emperor’s family are also feeling very uncomfortable now.

Because inside the palace, a guard from Emperor Yun Hao just came over and wanted to summon Lu Ran into the palace.

The reason, of course, is that he heard that beast-taming skills similar to Emperor Yan Sizhen had reappeared in the world, and he wanted to see it.

"That boy Yun Hao is quick to spread the news."

Ancestor Yan Xiao hummed and slapped the table. There were people sitting around him. Yan Feng said helplessly, "This day will come sooner or later. There is no way to avoid it."

"It's the King's fault for coming at the wrong time. He ran into the Seventh Princess and Yingying together on the first day."

There was nothing the crowd could do. If they could not force Lu Ran to meet him, that would be simply a lack of respect for the emperor.

at the same time.

After touring the Yan Mansion with Yan Yingying, Lu Ran was still worried about one thing: choosing a name.

When he returned to his clan, he definitely could not use the name Baosi Wang anymore. According to clan rules, he had to change his name to Yan.

But before he could think more about it, the news that the emperor had summoned him to the palace reached him, which made Lu Ran surprised and happy.

Damn, the Seventh Princess is awesome.

Lu Ran had never expected that he would be able to meet a big shot like the Emperor of the Beast Taming Empire so soon. This time, Yan Ling's Beast Taming Skills played a great role.

Before leaving, the head of the Yanfeng family looked at the nervous Lu Ran and said, "Relax, Emperor Yun wants to meet any young talent from these major imperial clans. If the emperor gives you any reward, you can take it."

"But don't forget, after you return to your roots, you still have to follow the Lava Ancestor to practice. If His Majesty the Cloud Emperor assigns you a complicated position that might delay your practice, you can politely refuse."

“Yes.” Lu Ran followed Emperor Yun’s guards into the palace while being instructed.

…………

"Lord Yundi, the King of Sudden Death has been brought here."

"Let him in."

Lu Ran followed into the complex imperial palace and arrived at a hall, where he discovered that it was not just Emperor Yun who was waiting for him. Although there was a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing sitting on a chair drinking tea and reading a book, there was also a graceful and beautiful woman sitting next to him, who looked somewhat similar to the Seventh Princess.

After being let in by the guards, Lu Ran entered.

"Greetings to Emperor Yun, and to Empress Dowager."

"You must be the King who died suddenly, the descendant of Emperor Yan who was exiled among the people. Sit down." Emperor Yun put down what he was holding and looked at Lu Ran below with a smile.

No wonder Xiao Qi didn't dislike it, this Lu Ran was indeed handsome unlike those sons of nobles, and most importantly, he looked very confident. Even when facing him, an eighth-level Beast Tamer and the current leader of the Beast Taming Empire, he was not nervous at all.

Just based on this point, he is much better than many children of imperial families.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard from my Seventh Princess that you are very capable and have great ambitions, so I couldn't help but want to meet you. Now I see that you are indeed a rare talent."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Lu Ran smiled and said, "It's just that Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't send out her main pet beast, so she let me off the hook."

“Don’t underestimate yourself.”

“By the way, I also heard from Xiao Qi that you returned to the family in order to pursue more powerful pets, to become stronger, and finally to fulfill your master’s last wish, defeat the legendary life, and pave the way for the human race for eternity. Is that true?” Emperor Yun looked at Lu Ran with a smile, trying to see from Lu Ran’s eyes whether he was lying.

However.

"It's true." Lu Ran looked Yun Di straight in the eye without fear. If this was a lie, Lu Ran would naturally feel guilty, but unfortunately, it was all true.

Of course, this real experience is pieced together from several different breakthroughs in secret realms.

"Don't you think that this pursuit is too far-fetched? Do you know that the Beast Taming Empire is currently being coveted by the four great beast empires?"

“I know this.”

“However, I think the four ferocious beast empires will not pose a threat to the Beast Taming Empire. As long as the royal family, several major imperial clans, and the sacred beasts that protect the country work together, it will not be a problem to defeat them.” Lu Ran said seriously.

He was not talking nonsense, he had read the history books, and the four ferocious beast empires could not compare with the Beast Taming Empire which worked together. However, the problem was that before the danger of national destruction arose, it was difficult for the Beast Taming Empire to work together.

"Work together..." Emperor Yun snorted, and said, "If we can work together, our current situation won't be so bad."

"What would you do if I asked you to participate in the battle between the border and the Beast Empire?" he asked again.

Lu Ran was stunned, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"With the resources in place, the king of ferocious beasts will be crushed to pieces."

Emperor Yun, Empress: ???

What kind of answer is that?

"I am only a third-level beastmaster. If I go to the battlefield now, I will not be able to play any role. Instead, I will only sacrifice myself in vain."

“But if Your Majesty is willing to give me enough resources to grow, my potential will definitely not be worse than any other general, and I am willing to go to the battlefield.” Lu Ran said seriously.

“Hahahahahaha…” Hearing Lu Ran’s answer, Emperor Yun laughed out loud. He felt that Lu Ran was quite interesting and very real.

After laughing for a long time, he asked seriously, "Are you serious?"

"Really..." Lu Ran said.

"Then are you willing to take me as your master? I will provide you with resources for growth, and then...will you share my worries?"

“Ah???” Lu Ran was stunned.

He was really stunned.

No, just poach people if you want to. Even if you marry a princess, Lu Ran would find it novel, but why does it mean he has to become your disciple?

He was tired of having to seek apprenticeship in three secret realms in a row.

"Ah what."

"Should I...take you, Emperor Yun, as my master?" Lu Ran was stunned.

"Do you think I can't teach you?" Emperor Yun showed a majestic expression.

"Oh, now I remember. The Yan Emperor family can send you to train with the Lava Disaster Beast. It is the battle pet of Emperor Yan Sizhen, and it is indeed very suitable for guiding you."

"But you can only touch it. Limiting your potential to the Flame Spirit is not a good choice. It will not help you realize your dream of paving the way for the human race for eternity."

Stop talking.

"I am willing to take His Majesty Emperor Yun as my teacher." Lu Ran expressed his opinion immediately.

“A wise choice.”

Emperor Yun smiled.

"Take me as your master, and you can have contact with the three great quasi-gods of the empire."

"The first generation of the Emperor's hunting god's war pet, a sacred fox that was bred and evolved into a quasi-legendary race."

"The descendants of the legendary Star God Butterfly, a quasi-legendary race, the Star Feather Butterfly that was contracted by the fourth generation of empress."

"Also, although it has not been contracted by anyone, it has always been sleeping in the empire and has made a promise with the first emperor to protect the empire!"
