The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 38 - 33: Devil's Special Training_1

The Grass Demon Cat is a great opponent.

Using it as a challenge target for special training is just right for Mr. Husky, after all, having a grudge is a powerful motivator.

Before ending the communication with Fang Lan, Lu Ran indicated that he might spend some time in Infinite City to provide special training for Mr. Husky and not return to Green Sea City, after all, teleportation costs crystal coins, the deeper meaning... is to once again ask Fang Lan to handle the pressure from his godparents.

After informing Fang Lan, Lu Ran lay down on the bed in his private room, planning to rest for a while. He rubbed his temples and seriously contemplated the improvement training for Mr. Husky.

First, the five ways of using energy are Coverage, Release, Flow, Compression, and Shaping...

Mr. Husky has already mastered the first two, and has even grasped a more advanced technique of Coverage, external entanglement.

Next, all that is needed for energy Coverage is routine daily practice.

This can be combined with physical and reflex training.

Observing Mr. Husky's recent battles, Lu Ran found that with Wind Attribute Energy Coverage, Mr. Husky's speed increased significantly, which could be termed as the speed of a wind dog, but could also be called the speed of a mad dog, mainly because the speed is too fast. In such a state, Mr. Husky is fine charging straight ahead, but if the terrain has even a little obstruction, his speed would be limited.

Therefore, one of the contents of the Coverage training is to train Mr. Husky's agility in complex terrain while in a wind speed state.

As for Release Technique.

Mr. Husky just mastered Sword Qi, and Lu Ran also saw the disadvantages of this move.

One, it consumes too much energy. There's no help for it since Emission Attribute skills naturally decay after leaving the body. If it doesn't start with enough power, the strength will completely dissipate quickly.

This can only be solved by improving skill level or Growth Level.

Second, the attack pattern is rigid, a straight line.

Sword Qi is like a crescent-shaped white wind blade, about a meter in length, surrounded by some violent air currents, causing some AOE damage but not high. Although the speed is not slow, due to the time needed for release and flight, it is still quite easy to avoid.

For animals with slow movements, such as elephants, it may hit steadily, but for agile animals like cats, it's difficult to hit from a distance, and if faced with birds of prey in the future, it would probably be even less effective.

To solve this problem, Lu Ran thought of two methods.

One of them is also upgrading the Energy Release Technique, just as there are advanced techniques for Energy Coverage, so does Energy Release. The second stage of Energy Release is controlling detached energy.

That is to say, if Mr. Husky's Energy Release reaches the next level, even after Sword Qi detaches, he would be able to control the flight trajectory of Sword Qi, making it turn up, down, left, or right to increase the hit rate!

Just like Sword Control Technique!

But this...to be honest, is a bit difficult. The Beast Training Manual merely mentions it without a detailed introduction, clearly not considering it "basic."

Moreover, another method that Lu Ran could think of is for Mr. Husky to learn the "Energy Flow Technique." As long as Mr. Husky grasps this technique, the process of gathering and focusing Sword Qi would be almost instantaneous. Besides, he would also be able to rapidly fire two or three Sword Qi sequentially with hardly any interval.

In this way, firepower suppression could effectively reduce the enemy's chances of evasion, even though it would consume more energy.

"Well then, the short-term training goal will revolve around 'Agility Training' and the 'Energy Flow Technique'."

"Once Mr. Husky has mastered Energy Flow, I will train his accuracy with Sword Qi. I'll prepare some stones, throw them, and have him attack moving targets."

"As for Shaping and Compression, they are lower priority for now. Let's wait until Mr. Husky is familiar with his current combat methods..."

As Lu Ran contemplated, he fell asleep, and as for Mr. Husky... he had already fallen asleep earlier, after all, he had used up quite a bit of energy.

However, Mr. Husky woke up even earlier than Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was awakened by his licking.

"Oww!"

When Lu Ran opened his eyes, he saw Mr. Husky shaking with his tongue out next to him, his pair of blue eyes bright and spirited.

"Woof!"

Special training! His tuft of hair was also twitching.

"You're quite eager," Lu Ran said with a headache.

Can't he let him wake up naturally? Damn.

"I have a quick method. Do you want to try it?" Boss Lu kindly looked at Mr. Husky.

"It will let you directly experience the state of high-speed Energy Flow. Entering this state might result in considerable strain and damage, but we already have the fully charged Divine Deer Pendant... Afterwards, you'll profoundly understand this state. With your learning ability, you might be able to learn it directly."

"Ow?" When Mr. Husky heard there was a quick method, his eyes lit up.

He nodded frantically, indicating his willingness to try.

It's just taking on a heavy load and getting injured, and his bodily memory tells him that he's least afraid of injury.

After all, it can be healed.

Boss Lu is really great, knowing an Arctic Dog takes revenge too late after ten years, he loves a quick fix.

"Alright, let's go give it a try." Lu Ran smiled as he had read the detailed introduction and feedback from Flowing Fruit buyers. If eaten normally, a low-level Pet Beast treated with ordinary herbs would have to lie down for at least half a month to a month.

It can be said to be a forbidden fruit with fierce side effects.

Hopefully, combined with the Divine Deer Pendant, this self-harming training method will bring them some surprises.

"Let's go to the Training Secret Realm."

...

[Do you want to open the Training Secret Realm?]

[Training Secret Realm opening: 1 crystal coin/day]

Yes.

After a silent exchange, a white light enveloped the bodies of Lu Ran and Mr. Husky.

When they came to their senses, they looked around and found themselves in a beautifully scenic place.

"This 1 crystal coin is well spent."

Lu Ran enjoyed the breeze, looked at the rare sight of a blue sky, felt the warmth of the Sun, and took a deep breath.

All around him, there were green grass, rocky grounds, and even lakes, offering beautiful scenery.

Compared to a training ground, it felt more like the perfect place to lie down for a nap at noon.

Next time, he might buy some props to come here and roast skewers, drink some happy water, and happily spend an afternoon.

"Woof!"

Meanwhile, Mr. Husky also shook off his body, looking around the spacious environment which seemed to lift his spirits.

Mr. Husky looked toward Lu Ran.

Lu Ran also looked at it and took out the Flowing Fruit.

The Flowing Fruit was pink all over, like cherry blossom petals turned into fruit, very beautiful, but behind the bright appearance was violent energy.

In the wild, such fruit, if eaten by wild animals, would certainly kill them. Although they might experience a temporary surge in strength, without proper treatment methods, they would eventually succumb to the overpowering growth and die from their injuries.

Only pets cared for by a Beast Trainer could dare to attempt using this fruit as a crucial method for explosive growth.

"Here," Lu Ran tossed the Flowing Fruit.

"Ao!" Mr. Husky caught it in his mouth, about to swallow.

"Stop! Chew it slowly," Lu Ran bellowed, looking every bit like a mother scolding her child.

This guy didn't just lack a grudge-holding memory; he had even forgotten about almost choking on a Wind Attribute Fruit last time. He was still eager to gulp it down.

Even if the fruit was enticing, couldn't he eat it one bite at a time? Lu Ran didn't want anyone to find out that his divine pet had choked to death. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ao woo," Mr. Husky felt wronged.

But still, he followed Lu Ran's command and chewed the fruit slowly before swallowing.

After that...

Lu Ran was already holding the Divine Deer Pendant, prepared.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Mr. Husky stood still, waiting for the transformation in his body.

About five seconds later, Mr. Husky's expression suddenly changed.

Blue pupils gradually showed hints of red.

Lu Ran wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but it seemed like even the muscles had bulked up a bit.

"Hmm?" Seeing the change in Mr. Husky's eyes, Lu Ran was startled, almost thinking it was going to enter that berserk state where it recognized no one.

But fortunately...

"Ao woo———" With a roar from Mr. Husky, it was just a surge of tremendous energy that burst from its body.

Boom!

The power of the sky, transitioning from white to blue, exploded from within Mr. Husky, spreading over a meter high!

Then, the violent energy condensed and wrapped around Mr. Husky's body completely. Lu Ran watched in astonishment.

Because this kind of energy coverage was very different from the one Mr. Husky had controlled before!

If before Mr. Husky was only wrapped in a faint halo of light...

Now, it was as if it was donning a coat made of energy—constantly in a state of rapid flow!

If the galaxies could flow, the energy would constantly travel over Mr. Husky's body, making its fur stand and fall as if perpetually blown by a hurricane.

So cool!

"Eh woo!!!" But at this moment, Lu Ran could see that Mr. Husky was struggling. It was tensing up its body, trying to suppress the wild power within.

"Does it hurt?" asked Lu Ran.

"Wu!" Mr. Husky indicated that it wasn't painful. The power felt great, with the overloading energy stimulating its body's operating frequency, bringing about a perfect enhancement in attack, defense, and speed. But where to vent? It was about to lose control.

It looked at Lu Ran. Surely, Lu Ran couldn't still be his sparring partner, right?

"Uh... are you trying to kill me?" Lu Ran looked around.

"This Training Secret Realm, since it's rented with money, should repair itself, right? Go ahead and tear it apart."

Hearing Lu Ran's words, Mr. Husky's eyes lit up, unleashing its nature with a howl to the sky.

A moment later.

All I can say is, a cheap Training Secret Realm is just that—cheap. It didn't take long before it was a complete mess, like a battlefield.

At this moment, Mr. Husky still didn't seem to have had enough. Even in this state, with no enemies, it was bloodthirsty. No enemies? The Training Secret Realm was the enemy!

A sprint that could shatter the stone floor, a claw swipe that could tear rocks apart, a breath that could flip the turf—continuous output!!!

Mr. Husky was in a complete frenzy at this time.

Seeing Mr. Husky's terrifying power, Lu Ran felt that in this state, if it were equipped with the Wind Meteor Sword, it could probably match that Grass Demon Cat, even though it was, well, drug-enhanced...

"Ao!!!" Mr. Husky grew more and more excited, but soon Lu Ran sensed something wrong.

When he first saw Mr. Husky's red eyes, his worst fear was realized. As Mr. Husky kept destroying, its rationality seemed to fade, with nothing but a lust for battle in its eyes. Seeing this, Lu Ran tensed.

Had the backlash from the Flowing Fruit triggered Mr. Husky's mad dog state switch?

"Mr. Husky!!!" Seeing this, to prevent Mr. Husky from rampaging, Lu Ran roared loudly. At the same time, he fully activated Psychic Sensing, making the call resonate like an echoing loudspeaker within Mr. Husky's heart.

"Wu??" Following Lu Ran's shout, Mr. Husky's eyes regained clarity, looking a bit bewildered. The rapidly flowing coat of energy also dissipated from its body.

Then came the terrifying pain, stabbing throughout its body, including viscera and even bone marrow!!!

"Ao!!!!!" Mr. Husky's clear eyes were overtaken by panic as it howled to the sky in agony. What a devilish training! Such weakness took over that it couldn't even stand, wobbling before collapsing on the ground, looking pitifully at Boss Lu...

Lu... deer...

"I told you, the aftermath is intense..." Lu Ran immediately used the Divine Deer Pendant he'd prepared to treat Mr. Husky, but as he did so, something unexpected happened.

Mr. Husky's Contract Card,
