King of Beasts

Chapter 240: Pseudo-legendary!

“Pseudo-legendary”

Seeing General Ha’s species level, Lu Ran felt a sense of surrealism.

General Ha held a giant sword in its mouth, looking at Lu Ran and the others with wise eyes.

This feeling was truly wonderful!

“As expected of you, General Ha.”

Lu Ran couldn’t help but step forward, his eyes filled with joy.

After General Ha’s evolution, its normal state was that of a lower overlord, which was within Lu Ran’s expectations.

After all, General Ha wasn’t a creature known for its base species level like Loong-types.

But even if its base species level was only lower overlord, as long as General Ha wielded a good sword, it could exert power beyond that of a lower overlord. This was the foundation of General Ha’s strength.

However, Lu Ran never expected that during the evolution, General Ha actually combined “I think power” and “domain.”

This kid was smart from a young age!

Finally, it had reached the realm where everything looked like a sword. Not bad at all!

Was this the transformation brought about by extreme Comprehension?

Within its domain, everything could be turned into a sword. Seeing an antler as a sword, seeing a roadside stone as a sword, seeing falling sunlight as a sword, seeing enemies as swords, wasn’t this just “I think everything is a sword”?

This Talent, when taken alone, wasn’t particularly groundbreaking.

But when combined with General Ha’s King of Swords Talent, it became something extraordinary.

When General Ha saw the Divine Deer Antler, an epic-level or even pseudo-legendary level item, as a sword, it was equivalent to having an epic-quality divine sword in front of it, ready for it to wield.

At this moment, the enhancement General Ha could receive was incredibly terrifying.

So far, Lu Ran hadn’t seen any item of higher quality than the Divine Deer Antler.

Therefore, the sword it transformed into was undoubtedly the strongest divine sword in terms of quality.

General Ha’s current species level was indeed proof of the Divine Deer Antler’s power, proof that the legendary divine beast, the divine deer, lived up to its name. Even a broken antler could create a legend.

Pseudo-legendary species!

“Are you invincible now?”

Lu Ran asked General Ha excitedly. The Sudden Death King, with its middle overlord species level, could already dominate the world.

With General Ha’s species level surpassing upper overlords, wouldn’t it just wipe out everything?

However, just as Lu Ran was envisioning taking General Ha to wreak havoc on the First Generation, General Ha seemed reluctant to speak.

“Howl~~~”

“Hmm?”

Seeing that General Ha’s excitement lasted only a few seconds before its expression dropped, Lu Ran asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Woof woof woof!”

General Ha, holding the Divine Deer Sword in its mouth, was cursing rather harshly.

It could feel the powerful species enhancement brought by the Divine Deer Sword.

However, when holding the Divine Deer Sword, General Ha didn’t feel that “cut through everything” power at all.

In fact, the combat enhancement seemed even less significant than when it had the sword spirit possession.

General Ha’s eyes once again displayed wisdom as it glanced at the golden-green glowing Divine Deer Sword, questioning Lu Ran.

“Woof!”

Boss Lu, have you ever heard of the Golden Healing Sword Qi? One swing and the enemy is not only unharmed but fully healed.

Lu Ran: ???

“Hey, you better not tell me the Divine Deer Sword has no killing power.” Reminded by General Ha, Lu Ran was dumbfounded.

Lu Ran, who had just been dreaming about using the Pseudo-legendary General Ha to kill everything, now had a twitching mouth.

He almost forgot that the Divine Deer Antler’s attribute was healing.

Even if it turned into a sword, it would be a Healing Sword!

Although under the blessing of the Healing Sword, General Ha had reached the Pseudo-legendary species level, it seemed to be more of a healer dog.

At present, General Ha could indeed feel the terrifying power contained within the Divine Deer Sword.

By using it in sword form, General Ha felt it could unleash a more terrifying healing power than ever before.

But the issue remained-it was still healing power.

This outcome made even General Ha find it hard to maintain composure.

However, Lu Ran quickly adjusted his mindset.

“Not a big problem.”

“Who says a Healing Sword has no combat power?”

“With a higher species level, your energy control should definitely be stronger. By then, casually compressing energy by sixty or seventy times should be no problem, right?”

“With the Healing Sword in your mouth, you don’t have to worry about getting injured.”

“There are always more solutions than problems.”

“Although it doesn’t have the destructive power of a combat-type epic sword, you should still be able to handle upper overlords of the same level, right?”

General Ha: ???

“Howl!!!”

The Sudden Death King and the Dark Crow exchanged glances.

General Ha immediately dropped the Divine Deer Antler and looked at the nearby Winter Sword Spirit.

In the next instant, the Winter Sword Spirit possessed General Ha.

[Species level]: Lower overlord (middle overlord)!

This proved that advancing within the overlord level stages was extremely difficult. Even with the support of a sword spirit creature, General Ha could only be elevated by one small stage, not two.

But that was fine.

The gains from this evolution were already more than satisfactory for Lu Ran.

“I think domain… This means I’ll need to start collecting all sorts of miscellaneous items now.”

Better to be prepared.

Once General Ha activates the Infinite Sword Domain, Lu Ran could just throw in hundreds or even thousands of random items. Within this domain, countless divine swords would instantly manifest.

This is the true strength of the Infinite Sword Domain!

Lu Ran stowed away the Divine Deer Antler and glanced at the surrounding domain. He then addressed the colossal icy General Ha, “Alright, General Ha, disperse the sword domain.”

“It’s time for us to leave…”

“Howl~~”

Upon hearing Lu Ran’s command, General Ha nodded. The vast Infinite Sword Domain quickly disappeared like a dreamy illusion.

Meanwhile, outside, countless beastmasters who had been observing the Infinite Sword Domain swallowed nervously as they looked towards the interior!

They soon saw the evolved General Ha and Lu Ran along with his companions not far from it!

“Look quickly, what has it evolved into!”

Everyone was eager to know General Ha’s new species post-evolution!

[Name]: Sword Domain Dog

[Attributes]: Wind, Ice

[Species level]: Lower overlord

[Growth level]: Level 30

[Introduction]: Unique species, Master of Swords!

Hiss-

Seeing the massive icy Erha, the crowd was visibly shaken. It was indeed another overlord species!

But only a lower overlord?

It shouldn’t be just a lower overlord.

The powerful aura emanating from inside earlier and the astonishing phenomena had made even some of the present lower overlords deeply wary. Everyone thought that Lu Ran had nurtured another middle overlord. But unexpectedly, it was just a lower overlord.

“Does this name mean it has awakened a domain-type evolutionary talent?”

“Sword Domain Dog, Sword Domain Dog-this indicates its strength lies in the use of its domain or sword domain.”

“Even though it’s only a lower overlord species, it might be able to suppress middle overlords thanks to its sword domain!”

“The aura from earlier definitely wasn’t a mistake. It can’t be released by ordinary overlords! It’s more than what it seems on the surface.”

Soon, people realized they couldn’t judge this Sword Domain Dog by conventional logic.

Its Species level isn’t high, which is normal-after all, it started as an ordinary Erha.

But a low Species level doesn’t mean low combat power. This is a level 30 freak that already wields a domain.

People estimated that, even if a middle overlord of the same level didn’t possess a domain, they might not gain any advantage over this Erha!

“A lower overlord? Defeating higher-level opponents with its sword domain?”

Standing beside General Ha, Lu Ran heard the surrounding astonished voices and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Short-sighted, so short-sighted.

The Erha before you, when fully unleashed, could end the overlord era and touch the legendary realm as a Pseudo-legendary creature.

However, Lu Ran had no intention of letting them know the truth. Such a terrifying trump card naturally needed to be hidden.

Perhaps in the future, when facing a crisis, General Ha’s Pseudo-legendary form might provide a critical edge to turn the tide.

At the moment, although these foreign onlookers were clueless about General Ha’s true nature, Manager Ying, Gu Qingyi, and others squinted their eyes, speculating internally:

“The boost provided by the King of Swords talent can’t be seen by outsiders, only by the beastmaster themselves. If its base is a lower overlord, combined with the King of Swords talent and a good weapon, its real Species level should be at least a middle overlord now!”

“When you add in the foundation provided by the sword domain and other factors, fighting high overlords isn’t far-fetched-potentially even surpassing them.”

Their guesses were more accurate.

Unfortunately, they still underestimated it slightly. They didn’t realize General Ha had comprehended the Infinite Sword Domain, allowing it to convert divine artifacts like the Divine Deer Antler into swords for self-enhancement.

“Let’s go-” With that, Lu Ran recalled General Ha and the others, then turned to Lin Nian, indicating his intention to leave.

In the outside world, the international forum buzzed with activity.

Unsurprisingly, Lu Ran once again dominated the trending topics in various countries.

[Miracle Creator, Lu Ran, and Passerby A!]

[Exceptional Comprehension! Level 30 Domain Activation!]

[A Species Named After a Domain-The Birth of the Sword Domain Dog!]

[Protagonist of the Era, Reaching the Pinnacle of Power in the Name of the Fourth Generation!]

To be honest, Lu Ran’s continuous creation of miracles-whether it was the Shield-winged Dragon King or the necromancy-based Twin Crow-had already heightened public expectations.

People found it hard to imagine how Lu Ran’s initial pet beast could evolve to surpass or even match his other two beasts.

When Lu Ran first entered the Evolution Secret Realm, the news had already spread, causing widespread attention.

Numerous beastmasters were eagerly waiting for the results. After previous events, these people believed that whatever way the Gale Sword Dog evolved, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir.

However, when the actual results were announced, the major forums crashed, and countless people stared at their screens in silence.

“A domain?”

“What the heck, level 30, and it mastered a domain before the first-stage evolution???”

These people were utterly stunned.

Are you kidding? They thought. Even among the top-tier First Generation warriors on the battlefront, not everyone has mastered a domain.

Yet, a Fourth Generation beastmaster, who had been one for less than half a year, mastered such a symbol of a top-level fighter with seeming ease?

No support from Dragon Chef? No big deal.

No knowledge from Necromancy? Still no big deal.

Lu Ran used his actions to show the world that any of his pet beasts could exhibit evolutionary foundations that transcend their era’s limitations.

“Wait a minute, making a domain the foundation of evolution-this isn’t just unprecedented on Blue Star, it’s likely the first on Star-Moon Continent too, right???”

“A dog! With a fusion trait that boosts learning ability, it can still reach the level of a lower overlord??? Its base species wasn’t a middle supernatural Erha!”

“God Lu is truly God Lu… Do you even understand the value of mastering a domain? Skill transcendence-it’s far superior to relying on bloodline power.”

At this moment, Lu Ran once again sparked worldwide discussion.

Now, top talents from various countries were almost numb, completely baffled by the nature of Lu Ran’s pet beasts.

An Erha could be cultivated to possess extreme Comprehension???

Infinite City.

Cat-eared Maid Café.

Lu Ran was gathered with a group of First Generations.

Just as Manager Ying and others were preparing to “interrogate” Lu Ran thoroughly,

A voice suddenly caused the entire Infinite City to fall silent for a few seconds.

It also interrupted their questioning of Lu Ran.

[Detected: 10 million beastmasters have completed the novice trial.]

[Initiating the third update…]

[Activating special theme: World Battle.]

[Effective immediately, within the next year, Infinite City will host a world-class beast taming tournament. Upon conclusion, the top ten beastmasters from Blue Star will receive special rewards and represent Blue Star to compete against the Star-Moon Continent’s team in a beast taming battle. Defeat Penalty: Infinite City version downgrade! Victory Reward: Gaining partial management rights of Infinite City.]

[Next update time: upon conclusion of the special theme event.]

As the system message ended, everyone in the Cat-eared Maid Café was stunned.
