The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 74  - 61 Blizzard Swordsmanship_1

Not long after, Lu Ran and Mr. Husky teleported back from the Mantis Jungle Secret Realm.

This time, Lu Ran unusually didn't receive a bunch of messages, indicating that the Divine Pet List had not been updated.

That made sense, though, since Mr. Husky's performance wasn't much different from the last time he cleaved through the blizzard.

Even if the power of the Storm Slash had increased a bit, that was the merit of the Wind Meteor Sword, not because Mr. Husky had undergone any transformation.

After emerging, Lu Ran looked towards his backpack.

Crystal coin balance: 12345

Equipment: Divine Deer Pendant (Epic), Wind Meteor Sword (Advanced), Wind Cutting Sword (Advanced)

Resources: Blade-Shaped Grass x2 (Advanced), Mantis Blade x6 (Advanced), Mantis Feather x7 (Advanced), Heart of the Insect x1 (Advanced), Wooden Scale Fruit x16 (Common), Detoxifying Grass x8 (Common), Dog Food x60 days (Advanced) …

Most of those were materials that had just burst forth from the Mantis Jungle.

As for materials from Demon Cat Forest and Blizzard Mountain, Lu Ran had sold them all.

The easy-to-sell items like the Grass Demon Cat's Heart, Grass Demon Cat's Claw, "Demon Cat's Mint", and Ice Crystal Mine, he sold directly to the official store.

The value of an advanced resource ranged from one hundred to several thousand crystal coins.

Lu Ran's Meteorite Mine from before was one of the more valuable ones, worth several thousand, while the items dropped by the Grass Demon Cat were garbage, hardly amounting to a few hundred crystal coins even when bundled together.

As for common items such as Demon Cat's Nails, there were no takers, so Lu Ran, with tears in his eyes, sold them at a low price to Infinite City's basic facility material recycling station. Even if small, a mosquito was still flesh after all; at least it could afford him a few free teleportations, otherwise, they were of no use to him.

Now, having acquired a new batch of resources, outside of the Blade-Shaped Grass, Mantis Feather, and Heart of the Insect, which Mr. Husky could use, Lu Ran felt the rest could also be sold.

For instance, the Mantis Blade, while a weapon material, didn't impress Lu Ran; it wasn't better than the Meteorite Mine. Even if he were to upgrade his weapon in the future, he would definitely forge it with rare materials, not this one.

Who knew, maybe in a while, the Mantis Blade's quality would be surpassed by Mr. Husky's teeth.

"Crush this thing and smear it on my body?"

Lu Ran took out the Mantis Feather from his backpack, and Mr. Husky looked over, both staring at each other, eyes wide. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This resource was for external application and was somewhat troublesome to use. Lu Ran thought Mr. Husky would end up a sticky mess, but fortunately, he had long since taught Doggo to bathe and dry himself.

"Woof!" However, Mr. Husky wasn't concerned with this and asked when he could eat the Heart of the Insect.

"No rush, no rush," Lu Ran said.

"Let's rest for a bit, and then we'll try challenging Blizzard Mountain once more..."

"Woof!" Mr. Husky made a distressed face. You may not be in a hurry, but I am, very much so.

Unknown foods, eh...

That very day, Lu Ran dragged Mr. Husky to challenge Blizzard Mountain again.

This time, Lu Ran did not ask Mr. Husky to cleave through the blizzard right at the start, so their efficiency in traversing improved instantly.

The clearance rating was SS.

They earned 450 crystal coins and 3 Seed of Cold Wind; the seeds dropped threefold, no Ice Crystal Mine this time, which Lu Ran found regrettable since the Ice Crystal Mine was quite marketable, though not as universal a weapon material as the Meteorite Mine for all attributes, but it was still a core material for Ice Attribute equipment.

But 3 Seed of Cold Wind wasn't bad either; at least Mr. Husky could use them.

After the challenge, Lu Ran let Mr. Husky cleave through the blizzard again, and of course, he also held the Wind Cutting Sword and tried to make a slash himself.

The result, after hours of effort, neither he nor Doggo comprehended Blizzard Swordsmanship. Instead, they ended up with a bunch of Wind Dog Sharp Teeth...

Mr. Husky followed Lu Ran back teary-eyed, determined to have a good feast upon returning... The skill of energy compression was just too damn difficult to master.

...

"Waka?"

Prism Arena.

Lu Ran and Mr. Husky returned after a long absence.

Upon returning, Lu Ran was still deep in thought while Doggo busied himself with a bunch of Seed of Cold Wind and Mantis Feathers.

At this time, King of Sudden Death also woke up, but seeing that Lu Ran and Mr. Husky were both preoccupied, it could only stay forlornly in a corner, unable to blend in.

[Nobody's paying attention to me, I want to suddenly die!] King of Sudden Death felt dejected.

"Where exactly is the difference?" Lu Ran mused.

He had been holding his sword in the blizzard for over 12 hours.

Seeing the way Mr. Husky was, Lu Ran didn't expect him to comprehend Blizzard Swordsmanship before him.

When Mr. Husky cleaved through the blizzard, Lu Ran had also tried Super Beast Mimicry, hoping to experience that realm for himself.

However, trying to grasp a Sword Momentum infused with the power of nature was still too difficult.

"The key point lies in Fusion! In becoming one with nature and the heavens!"

"I coexist with the heaven and the earth; all beings are one with me."

Lu Ran continued to summarize.

He had comprehended Ferocious Beast Sword Momentum before Mr. Husky because he had more swordsmanship experience and, importantly, had emulated Mr. Husky's essence through Super Beast Mimicry.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he had infused Mr. Husky's essence into his sword technique, thus creating the Ferocious Beast Sword Momentum.

It's fair to say that Ferocious Beast Sword Momentum was a fusion of Ferocious Beast's Momentum, him, and the sword.

At that moment, he, momentum, and sword became one.

Similarly, if he wanted to grasp Blizzard Swordsmanship, he would undoubtedly need to merge the characteristics of the blizzard with his body, imagining himself as the blizzard.

Then, integrating it into his sword technique, he would display the chill of the blizzard.

Lu Ran estimated that this would be quite difficult for Mr. Husky to achieve.

Because in the midst of the blizzard, Mr. Husky felt no cold, only excitement; how could it possibly comprehend the terror of the blizzard.
