King of Beasts

Currently, only two people in Xia Country know Lu Ran’s true identity.

While others were still laughing and marveling at Lu Ran’s prowess for causing such a big uproar, Gu Qingyi’s mouth started to twitch. This couldn’t withstand any scrutiny…

Many people on The Other Shore definitely know Lu Ran’s identity. Once they trace it back to The Other Shore, Lu Ran’s status as a high-level member of The Other Shore could no longer be hidden.

Whether he could be definitively identified as the Holy Son of the necromancy cult was uncertain, but his background with The Other Shore was undeniable.

However, Gu Qingyi quickly shook her head and decided it was pointless. Even if they found out, what could they do? Lu Ran acted so boldly, indicating that he didn’t care about it himself, so there was no need to be concerned.

After all, it was a well-known fact that the international beast taming alliance can only govern small countries.

She dialed Lu Ran’s number and immediately headed towards him.

Meanwhile…

“What intelligence?” Manager Ying’s eyes lit up upon hearing that Lu Ran wanted to sell some information to it.

It wasn’t opposed to buying intelligence. As long as the information was valuable, it would be willing to pay a corresponding price.

“Concerning the Legendary level!” Lu Ran said mysteriously.

“I know why there are only level 8 beastmasters on Star-Moon Continent and no level 9 beastmasters!”

“Hmm???” Manager Ying was taken aback.

“Go ahead, name your price.”

“I’ll take this intelligence!”

“Oh, come on, considering our relationship, would I really charge you?” Lu Ran switched his tone and smiled.

“Let me tell you for free.”

Manager Ying pouted; free information always came with the highest price. Judging by Lu Ran’s demeanor, it certainly wouldn’t be the last time he asked for its help for free.

“Alright, go ahead.”

“Actually…” Just as Lu Ran had started to speak, his phone rang, and Manager Ying looked annoyed.

But seeing that it was Gu Qingyi calling, it couldn’t make Lu Ran hang up the phone directly.

“Answer it, answer it,” Manager Ying said, exasperated that Gu Qingyi always called at the most critical moments.

“Hello, Lu Ran, what’s the deal with that video? Is it real? The stuff about the necromancy Holy Son, is that fake?” she asked, sounding doubtful.

Apparently, she didn’t believe it either.

Even if Lu Ran’s parents were high-level members of The Other Shore, how did he end up as the Holy Son of the far more terrifying necromancy cult? It was obviously fake.

There must be a huge misunderstanding.

“Actually, there is a bit of a misunderstanding,” Lu Ran said. “Although the process was wrong, the result was correct.”

Lu Ran shared with Gu Qingyi the same explanation he gave to Manager Ying.

Dr. Gu: ???

Next to him, Manager Ying smirked mischievously.

“Come to think of it, the Cult Leader of Necromancy must at least be a level 8 beastmaster. What did they see in you to take you as a disciple?”

This was something that even puzzled Manager Ying earlier.

Not to mention Lu Ran, even the First Generation would find it incredibly challenging to establish a relationship with a legendary beastmaster.

Take Gu Qingyi, for example. Although she had a contract with a Loong-type beast and was very prominent on the blue star, her achievement of contracting a Loong-type beast was something many top-level second-generation beastmasters on the Star-Moon Continent could do effortlessly.

Or consider Lu Ran’s current impressive identity as a Dragon Chef. In the Beast Taming Empire, while this role was rare, it still wasn’t enough to gain the extraordinary favor and personal mentorship of a legendary beastmaster.

Each legendary beastmaster represented the top-tier human combat power on the continent, entities capable of slaying dragons and obliterating cities with ease.

Becoming an heir to a legendary cult, especially in such a short timeframe, would be nearly impossible without some exceptional talent far ahead of the era.

“You didn’t happen to elope with the Cult Leader’s daughter, did you?” Gu Qingyi asked suspiciously from the other side of the phone.

“How could that be! I merely resolved an issue with the necromancy’s soul-devouring downside while in a secret realm,” Lu Ran replied with a cheerful tone.

Upon hearing this, both Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying stiffened.

“It basically means there is now hope for necromancy to be normalized,” Lu Ran continued. “In the future, thanks to me, the occupation of necromancer can be on par with the standard beastmaster system.”

“Let the rumors on the internet spread as they will. Free publicity is not to be wasted. By the time I redeem the reputation of necromancy, all this will have served as groundwork.”

“When will Xia Country establish its Department of Necromancy? My mind is overflowing with necromancy knowledge with nowhere to put it,” Lu Ran mused. After becoming the King of Green Sea and the patriarch of his clan, was he about to take on yet another identity?

“You…” Gu Qingyi was stunned, with many things to say but ultimately falling silent.

She was confused, feeling that Lu Ran went to the breakthrough secret realm not for a trial, but as if he had some cheat code!

The guild leader had tasked her with establishing the Department of Necromancy and researching the necromancy domain, but she hadn’t started due to certain challenges.

And now, Lu Ran went to the breakthrough secret realm and claimed to have solved all the issues of the necromancy domain???

“Are you the illegitimate child of Infinite City???” Manager Ying was also quite shocked and blurted out the question, feeling that Lu Ran’s luck was overwhelmingly strong. First, he mastered the Loong-type, and now the necromancy domain-how did he manage to achieve such substantial gains in these opportunity-rich unknown fields?

Both were left speechless by Lu Ran.

“Dr. Gu, where are you?” Lu Ran asked. “Actually, the existence value of the necromancy domain is significant and also relates to the Legendary level. I was just about to explain this to Manager Ying, but then your call interrupted.”

What followed was a continuous bombardment of intelligence from Lu Ran.

He revealed piece by piece the information that human beastmasters on the Star-Moon Continent couldn’t break through to the Legendary level because they were capped by Legendary creatures.

Then, he explained the origin of the necromancy cult on the Star-Moon Continent and the ambitions of its Sect leader!

Necromancy! This domain was created by two prodigies who sought to help humanity break through the Legendary limit. They developed this ability by mimicking the death dragon and leveraging the power of the death dragon’s retainers!

Not only was it not evil, but it also held a grand purpose.

Now, Lu Ran had even solved the major issue that led to the necromancy domain being viewed as evil. Unexpectedly, when this archaeological intelligence is revealed, it would shake the blue star to its core.

Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying were shocked, feeling that the already tumultuous The Other Shore might descend into further chaos. A new faction might emerge, with many people possibly coming to seek support from Lu Ran-the orthodox necromancy practitioner!

At this moment, Manager Ying, unable to digest such explosive intelligence, leaned against the sofa as if drunk. Its tail swayed back and forth, and its expression was dazed.

Dr. Gu remained silent for a long while before she slowly spoke, “Wait for me; I’ll be at Green Sea shortly.”

Compared to the forbidden knowledge Lu Ran unearthed through archaeology and his own research findings, the rumors circulating online seemed trivial.

Currently, the excited netizens were righteously calling for a “thorough investigation”, but when Lu Ran finally clears the name of necromancy, the reversal would be monumental.

“I wonder what secrets you will uncover in your next breakthrough secret realm.”

After ending the call with Dr. Gu, Manager Ying’s whiskers twitched as it looked at Lu Ran, feeling rather impressed by this youngster.

For a level 1 beastmaster to enter such a secret realm, surviving Mingan City alone would already be commendable. Yet, Lu Ran not only survived but also became the Holy Son of a legendary cult and obtained such unique intelligence.

“Let me analyze this calmly.”

Manager Ying was now considering how to maximize its gains in the impending necromancy wave.

“Sure, go ahead and analyze.”

“By the way, where is Summer? And Dark Crow?”

“Oh, Summer? Dark Crow tricked it into training the Green Sea army. It’s been cooking outside every day for a month now.”

Lu Ran: “…”

Well, good job, Dark Crow. After a month, Summer’s spear intent should be well-honed by now.

“By the way, give me the egg,” Lu Ran said.

“It’s on the balcony. You can take it out of the incubation liquid and hatch it anytime, whenever you feel like.”

“Alright?” Lu Ran was momentarily stunned but quickly ran to the balcony.

There, he saw a rectangular incubator filled with clear liquid, and a white pet beast egg was floating inside.

“No need to overthink this.”

With nothing urgent to attend to, he was just waiting for the Evolution Secret Realm. Taking care of a new pet wouldn’t require much additional effort. Lu Ran eagerly reached into the incubator, intending to hatch the creature that had been incubating for half a month right away.

He was curious to see what species this pet beast egg would turn out to be.

Lu Ran thought the rock monarch of Princess of Light was pretty impressive, with its ability to infinitely regenerate its body and its elemental transformation, akin to an immortal being.

Soon, Lu Ran took out the pet beast egg, looking at it with anticipation.

Moments later, the pet beast egg began to emit a dazzling light.

Indeed!

Lu Ran’s black pupils focused on the pet beast egg, and his heart churned with excitement along with the radiance.

“Crack…”

In the next moment, cracks appeared on the eggshell. As the cracks spread, the pet beast egg gradually shattered.

However, contrary to the norm, this young living creature didn’t simply “hatch” from the egg. Instead, the light within the cracks grew stronger, enveloping the entire egg. Under the glow, the egg transformed into a completely new form of life!!!

No trace of the eggshell remained.

“Pitter-patter…” The newly born creature made a delicate sound. Lu Ran, in turn, watched it in awe.

The white creature floated into the air, swaying with the breeze like a girl’s gently fluttering veil. It was light, soft, and softly drifting, as pristine and serene as a little elf.

“Is this… a cloud?” Lu Ran whispered as he gazed at the life form that had finally emerged from the pet beast egg.

“Pitter-patter??” The pure white creature, resembling a small cloud, also turned to look at Lu Ran.

At the same time, its information appeared before Lu Ran’s eyes.

[Name]: Weather Elf

[Attribute]: Water (Ice, Thunder)

[Species Level]: Middle Sovereign

[Growth Level]: Level 1

[Species Talent]: Weather Blessing (The Weather Elf has three forms: Rain Cloud Form, Ice Cloud Form, and Thunder Cloud Form. In the respective forms, it can control heavy rain, blizzard, and thunderstorm power to the fullest extent. It can also grant a Weather Blessing to specified individuals or groups, enhancing the potency of their corresponding attribute skills and accelerating their energy recovery speed…)

“This is amazing.” Lu Ran exclaimed as he looked at the Weather Elf in delight. Just what he wanted-a mage-type pet beast capable of group attacks. And as it turned out, this little creature also possessed formidable support abilities!
