Chapter 69 Chapter 57 Sibling Rivalry for Favoritism_1
Mr. Husky also had a temper.
It was quite dissatisfied with Lu Ran's claim of "thrashing the Secret Realm three times a day."
It wasn't because Lu Ran rode it after getting tired.
Mr. Husky was willing to ferry Lu Ran through the blizzard, as it made him feel strong!
But what Mr. Husky couldn't accept was that, while carrying Lu Ran on its back, Lu Ran had the audacity to carry two swords as well, increasing the weight!
According to Lu Ran... you are doing weight training, and I'm doing weight training as well; this move is a synchronized activity, a great victory for Super Beast Mimicry!
The snow-covered Mr. Husky felt its intelligence was being insulted...
But the key point was, Lu Ran said that his Super Beast Mimicry had indeed improved.
At that moment, Mr. Husky's brain experienced a short circuit...
...
"Don't overthink it; I bet you're hungry by now."
The private room.
Once they left the snowy environment, Mr. Husky's gaze instantly returned to being wise and clear. Forgetting the earlier incident, it reacted to Lu Ran's words with its stomach growling.
"Woof!" Mr. Husky called out weakly, acknowledging the point; eating was indeed more important.
It was now both hungry and tired.
This had affected its performance in navigating through the blizzard.
One could say that if it weren't for the energy Mr. Husky had wasted cutting through the blizzard at the beginning, Lu Ran's score could have been even higher.
After all, the Secret Realm's score was based on the efficiency of crossing the blizzard.
"Eat up, eat up." Facing the hungry dog, Lu Ran laughingly took out all the food.
"Woo!" Mr. Husky eagerly awaiting, stuck out its tongue, drooling.
In addition to Mr. Husky's regular food, Lu Ran also took out the freshly acquired Seed of Cold Wind.
This seed, resembling a blue peanut and cold to the touch, was casually tossed to Mr. Husky by Lu Ran, indicating it should eat it.
[Name]: Seed of Cold Wind
[Level]: Advanced
[Introduction]: A special seed born in a frigid environment, only growing when the cold reaches an extreme.
After scanning with the Data Eye, Lu Ran discovered that there were no specific details about the uses of the Seed of Cold Wind, and it seemed to be a semi-finished item.
However, since Doctor Gu had said that this item could make Mr. Husky's Wind Attribute power colder, Lu Ran considered it as having a hidden effect.
In this light, the Data Eye wasn't all-powerful; of course, it was also possible that his basic-level Data Eye was too low.
"Awoof, woof woof woof." Mr. Husky, head down, gobbled up the food, while Lu Ran also took out a Wooden Scale Fruit to eat and opened the communication interface because it seemed he had received quite a few messages...
Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [Wow, how did you reach Level 9 already? How did you decide to challenge the Blizzard Secret Realm? What's going on, what were you doing in Jinling, weren't you going to see your mentor? How could he also level up Mr. Husky?]
[Where are you where are you where are you...]
"Goodness, she knows everything."
Lu Ran was startled, then quickly realized it was probably because Mr. Husky's performance in the Blizzard Secret Realm had been detected by the Divine Pet List.
It seemed that not only combat with living creatures was recorded, but even contending against nature itself, and acquiring skills in a Secret Realm, was noteworthy and recorded.
"Crunch." Lu Ran bit into the fruit and said, "Now the whole Infinite City knows Mr. Husky went from Level 6 to Level 9 in a single morning. But it's not a big deal; these resources were provided by Doctor Gu, which further solidifies my connection with him."
"Having such a strong backer, I should be able to level up in peace without being harassed by various strange forces, right?"
Lu Ran replied to Fang Lan:
[Just exited the Secret Realm, hey, I met Doctor Gu in real life, didn't I? After talking with her, seeing my exceptional talent, she gave me a rare resource to invest in me. After Mr. Husky ate it, it leveled up by three...]
Fang Lan responded instantly.
Her reply was a bunch of question marks.
Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [???]
"Pfft." Lu Ran chuckled, imagining Fang Lan's baffled expression, as she had been very proud to know Doctor Gu, yet now, Doctor Gu had given a gift to Lu Ran first. Who could remain calm in her shoes?
That was almost a kind of...
Well, next time he met Doctor Gu, he would ask her to take care of Fang Lan as well, and after clearing the Abandoned Research Institute, he could temporarily stop entering the Breakthrough Secret Realm and help Fang Lan level up.
Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [Are you serious? For real? You met Doctor Gu in real life?!]
Passerby A: [Oh, I almost forgot, she gave me her ID number and told me to add her as a friend. You should have her as a friend, right? If you don't believe me, ask her yourself.]
With that, Lu Ran sent a friend request to Gu Qingyi.
Her nickname in Infinite City was "Gu Qingyi."
She was a warrior who used her real name for her Infinite City ID.
At this moment, Doctor Gu was apparently also in Infinite City, and she accepted the request very quickly.
As soon as they became friends, Doctor Gu sent a message saying: [It seems you've had a fruitful time on Blizzard Mountain.]
Passerby A: [Yes, it's a nice place, thank you.]
Gu Qingyi: [It's good that you've gained something. Additionally, I've looked into the sword momentum you mentioned more closely.
Also, I've learned about a higher level skill related to sword momentum, called Sword Intent.
It feels similar to the advanced techniques of Shaping, would you like to learn more about it?]
Lu Ran was startled and immediately replied affirmatively.
Gu Qingyi: [Do you know about the different levels of Energy Shaping?
Let me introduce them to you.
Energy Shaping Skills are divided into three levels. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The first level is Morphology.
This level is about simply shaping energy into another form, which could be a blade or an armor.
Even, it's possible to shape energy into a mountain or turn it into a meteor to smash down on the enemy.
Not difficult to understand, right?
At this level, the actual shape that's formed doesn't really matter much.
The key point is the second level, intent.
Reaching this level, the pet beast's energy shaping becomes close to real and can contain a certain divine rhythm.
Take, for example, a monkey that shapes dragon heads onto its fists, creating its own "Dragon Fist."
Doesn't that sound flashy but impractical?
But what if the monkey has a profound understanding of "dragons," and it may even have fused with some dragon trait?
Then, it may be possible for it to comprehend the power and mental state of a dragon.
At that time, the Dragon Fist it hurls will truly contain the power of a dragon; we often call this type of energy shaping "Ideological Shaping."
Put simply, this is making the shaped form carry more essence, imbued with spiritual will, thereby increasing its power.
I feel, since you have a talent in grasping skills, you can start working in this direction.
Aren't you guys challenging the Blizzard?
You could try incorporating the power of the blizzard into your sword momentum, achieving something like Blizzard Sword Momentum or Blizzard Sword Intent.
Compared to your current intimidating sword momentum, nature's power is more daunting, right? ]
She really... I'm gonna cry.
Lu Ran looked at the tutorial sent by Dr. Gu and found himself at a loss for words.
No wonder Fang Lan liked Dr. Gu so much, who wouldn't?
Knowing that one was delving into swordsmanship, she actually went to understand sword momentum and sword intent, and even advised on strategies.
Indeed, the ferocious beast sword momentum doesn't seem very sophisticated.
To put it bluntly, the ferocious beast sword momentum is just about using race to overpower others.
Mr. Husky now, at best, is a Wolf King.
Its presence can indeed overwhelm cats and dogs and the like.
But when encountering fiercer raptors, ferocious beasts, or even dinosaurs... intimidating them with presence is hardly likely.
In comparison, thunder and lightning, flame, blizzard - such powerful forces of nature, if they could be transformed into sword momentum, would certainly be more intimidating.
However, understanding them will definitely not be easy.
But I must say, Dr. Gu's reminder has given Lu Ran a new perspective, and the next time Mr. Husky is in the Blizzard Secret Realm, he can give it a try.
Face the blizzard three times a day, slash at it three times, and attempt to grasp the power of the blizzard.
Incidentally, he could also harvest some teeth.
Passerby A: [That makes sense! We will try it out, thanks for the hard work, Dr. Gu. But you just mentioned the second level, what is the third level of energy shaping... ]
Lu Ran seized the opportunity to continue inquiring for information.
Dr. Gu: [Oh, the third level, actually I haven't mastered it myself, I've only seen a Beast Trainer from another world use it in the Breakthrough Secret Realm.
The third level is Life Shaping.
If the second level allows the shaped form to have spiritual will,
then the third level can even bring life-like behavior to the shaped form.
I suspect that the creature projections in those secret realms are created by the founders of Infinite City through life shaping.
This level is far away from you, you don't need to delve into it, for now, you just work towards the second stage.
Even among the second-generation Beast Trainers, there are many who haven't mastered the second level of shaping. If you can master it, you will have an overwhelming advantage among the fourth-generation Beast Trainers.
I have to go now, seems like someone is looking for me. ]
[Alright, thank you, Dr. Gu.]
Lu Ran silently noted down what Gu Qingyi said, Morphological Shaping, Ideological Shaping, Life Shaping...
Currently, Mr. Husky is still at the first stage.
He originally thought that Mr. Husky, having understood the four major energy application methods so early, was already perfect. It turns out it's just a beginning.
Beyond energy shaping, there are two more levels. What about the other techniques? Could they also have...
Meanwhile.
Gu Qingyi, on the other hand, received communication from Fang Lan.
Fang Lan: [Senior Sister Gu! Lu Ran said you've met him in real life?]
Gu Qingyi: [Yes, your brother has excellent talent, I was just chatting with him. You'll need to work hard, otherwise, it'll be difficult for you two to team up later. ]
Fang Lan's expression froze, feeling a desire to cry; they really had met!
But her parents absolutely wouldn't let her enter the secret realms. Being confined to the competition arena was already the limit.
[That's right, I told you he has great talent! But that guy likes courting death. If possible, Senior Sister, please take care of him more. Otherwise, if he dies in a secret realm, it would be a waste of his talents. Once he grows, he will definitely be very strong.]
Although Dr. Gu was taken from her, Fang Lan still tearfully spoke on behalf of Lu Ran.
[Sure.] Dr. Gu laughed.
[By the way, Senior Sister... sob sob, is there any way I can catch up to him in strength without entering the secret realm? I don't want to fall too far behind him.]
Gu Qingyi smiled, young people are quite competitive, aren't they? She said, [It's easy, you know, your pet beast has a poisonous attribute, and the poisonous attribute is the strongest in scaling combat ability across all attributes.
I mentioned the Beast Training University before; they should offer courses in toxicology. Thoroughly studying this course could even enable you to breed venom that could allow a level 10 pet beast to kill creatures dozens of levels higher.
Otherwise, I could mail you some textbooks in advance for you to study up. I remember, your college entrance examination scores were ninth in the province, right? So there should be no problem.]
This was the result despite her part-time job as a pet blogger... Fang Lan, a top student with knowledge of toxicology, pet raising experience, and a veterinary background, looked at her ID and fell into thought, wondering to what heights this pair of siblings would grow?
