Chapter 135: Continued Exposure

The renowned beastmaster of the Eagle Federation, Ah Se, once said, “At lower levels, no creature on Blue Star can defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex. They are invincible. This is my view on dinosaur pet beasts.”This perspective is widely accepted by many researchers in the Federation Research Institute’s Dinosaur Life Research Team. After all, if dinosaur pet beasts weren’t formidable, how could they prove their talent?

However, just as the researchers in the Dinosaur Life Research Team were eagerly awaiting news of the Tyrannosaurus Rex team’s slaughter spree from Infinite City, intelligence that Ian’s Tyrannosaurus Rex had been instantly defeated by Lu Ran’s sword-holding dog was the first to return to the Federation.

“My God, how is this possible!” In the Dinosaur Life Research Institute, a group of researchers was in disbelief.

“Director Yun, what kind of creature is a sword-holding dog?!” Many researchers looked at Dr. Yunhan from Xia Country, who is now one of the deputy directors of the Dinosaur Life Research Institute.

At this moment, Dr. Yunhan was also full of disbelief. He prided himself on being very knowledgeable about the beast taming environment in Xia Country. A sword-holding dog… what new species could that be?

No matter what it holds, how could a dog like Erha defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which the Eagle Federation had revived with immense national effort?

“Calm down! It was merely Ian being careless and getting defeated. Ian and his team are only part of the ‘second echelon.’ We still have our hidden ace, Rex, and his low-level sovereign species Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is our most perfect research outcome.”

“Rex’s Tyrannosaurus Rex can also instantly kill the other team members’ Tyrannosaurus Rex. It’s not like the entire Tyrannosaurus Rex team was defeated. There’s no need to panic,” said an elderly researcher stepping forward.

“Dr. Hayden…” Hearing his words, many researchers were reassured.

Dr. Hayden looked at everyone and said, “You all stay here. Dr. Yunhan, continue to lead the team in research. I’ll go to Infinite City to check out the situation.”

“I’ll bring back the good news of Rex crushing this Lu Ran for you!”

With that, he teleported to Infinite City, intending to see the battle scene for himself.

Meanwhile.

In the arena of Public Infinite City, the Tyrannosaurus Rex team faced Lu Ran’s provocation on stage but had yet to respond!

“Oh wow!”

“The Tyrannosaurus Rex team won’t chicken out, right?”

With Lu Ran’s appearance, some beastmasters who were displeased with the Eagle Federation finally found their chance to fight back.

Now, when they looked at Lu Ran and General Ha, it was as if they were looking at “gods.”

At this point, nationality no longer mattered. Lu Ran’s dog was incredibly powerful. The Tyrannosaurus Rex that had been dominant for so long was now easily defeated?

“They’re definitely chickening out!”

“Judging by the earlier situation, all the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the team are at about the same level!”

“If this one was instantly defeated, the others probably won’t stand a chance either.”

Many onlookers were watching the drama. This experience of “knowing the opponent is very strong and being instantly defeated” was something they had just felt. Now, it was the Tyrannosaurus Rex team’s turn to experience it.

Passerby A Our god!!

On the stage, Ian quickly recalled his Tyrannosaurus Rex and was helped down by a female teammate. He was clearly shaken, while Lu Ran continued his taunting to the extreme.

“Is there no one left? I’m fine with a series of one-on-one battles. Let me see Tyrannosaurus Rex with different attributes.”

“If that’s too much, we can change the rules. All of you can come at me together if you want.”

This made General Ha start to wonder if Boss Lu had already been practicing super beast mimicry: dark crow. Could the third beast be that crow?

“Damn, that’s arrogant.”

The beastmasters from Xia Country had initially thought Passerby A was a very low-key person. But with his identity exposed, they realized he wasn’t low-key at all. Now he was practically rubbing their faces in it.

However, this was also because the other side had first dragged Lu Ran into the center of public opinion, making him very unhappy.

Just as everyone thought the Tyrannosaurus Rex team would definitely back down, a young man who had never fought before suddenly stepped forward.

His appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

“I am the captain of the Tyrannosaurus Rex team, Rex.”

“Your pet beast is quite interesting.”

Lu Ran and General Ha frowned as they looked at him.

Rex pointed to his eyes and said, “I possess the intermediate Eye of Data.”

“I can see that your pet beast has the wind attribute, a growth level of only level 20, and a species level of upper commander.”

“For an upper commander to perform this well against a ‘quasi-sovereign’ species like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is commendable.”

“But, you’ve gotten too arrogant.”

“Ian’s Tyrannosaurus Rex hadn’t fully awakened its power. Do you really think that defeating him means you can ignore a true ancient overlord?”

The Tyrannosaurus Rex resurrected through technology still had some flaws. To activate nearly perfect sub-dragon bloodlines, it was necessary to fuse “Ancient Blood Traits” and have the beastmaster train a “Potential Unleashing” beast taming skill.

According to the Federation Research Institute, through this cultivation method, the second trait could fuse with a loong-type trait, and the third trait could also fuse with a loong-type trait, giving a more than 50% chance of evolving into a Loong-type upon awakening.

While Ian and the others’ Tyrannosaurus Rex had their potential and talent activated, their awakenings were not particularly perfect. Only Rex had relatively perfectly activated the true power of his Tyrannosaurus Rex, making it a sovereign species by the second trait fusion!

“What does this guy mean!”

At this moment, many people were stunned seeing Rex step forward.

And the next moment, his words sent a shock through everyone.

“If I told you that a truly fused twice-trait Tyrannosaurus Rex could reach the level of a lower sovereign species, how would you respond?”

“Come on, since you’re so interested, I’ll show you what a real Tyrannosaurus Rex looks like.”

As he spoke, he began to summon his pet beast, under the incredulous gazes of many.

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

With his summoning, it was as if an invisible wave of energy radiated from the summoning circle on the field.

In the arena, the air began to hum and vibrate, with nearly tangible Dragon Might forming transparent tides. This scene astonished everyone.

“Roar!!!”

The terrifying Dragon Might, accompanying the appearance of an even larger Tyrannosaurus Rex, instantly swept the arena like a storm.

“Howl!!!” On the other side, General Ha erupted with Sword Intent, standing firm in front, helping Lu Ran withstand the overwhelming pressure with a sharp gaze.

“Tangible Dragon Might, a sovereign species!”

Finally realizing the uniqueness of this Tyrannosaurus Rex, many spectators widened their eyes. No one expected that Rex, the self-proclaimed captain of the Tyrannosaurus Rex team, would summon a sovereign species Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Could a fourth-generation beastmaster contract with a sovereign species Tyrannosaurus Rex?!

“What’s going on! Why is this one a sovereign species!”

“I remember, aren’t all eight of them ranked on the Commander Divine Beast Leaderboard?!”

“Don’t tell me, when Rex got ranked, his pet beast had only just fused with ‘one trait’.”

“Someone quickly check if he’s still on that leaderboard!”

“Fraud, this is intelligence fraud. How could a sovereign species be defeated?”

A level 1 sovereign species creature could easily thrash a level 20 supernatural species.

Moreover, this was a level 20 perfect sub-dragon.

No one anticipated such a reversal in the arena.

Facing the overpowering Lu Ran, the Tyrannosaurus Rex team unexpectedly countered with a sovereign species Tyrannosaurus Rex. At this moment, the fourth-generation beastmasters from Xia Country looked somewhat grim.

Lu Ran’s Erha, according to Rex, had already reached the upper commander species level, very strong…

Facing a Tyrannosaurus Rex of the same upper commander level, it wouldn’t be at much of a disadvantage in terms of species, and could even crush the opponent with the advantage of skills and attributes.

However, the gap between a sovereign and a commander was far too vast. Who could have expected that the Federation’s group had held back this much?

The Tyrannosaurus Rex team clearly wanted to show the world that, at the same level, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was the strongest creature on Blue Star.

Yet…

“Is this all there is?” Just as everyone expected Lu Ran to show a change in expression, he remained calm.

“Sovereign species, huh? We’ve already cut down 56 of its kind.”

“What are you saying!!!” Rex had been waiting for Lu Ran’s shock, but instead, his own face flushed red with anger, feeling that Lu Ran was excessively arrogant.

Not only Rex, but the audience was also stunned. They had never imagined that Lu Ran would remain unfazed in the face of a sovereign species Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Could Lu Ran really believe… that even against a sovereign sub-dragon species, they could still win?!!

Many spectators were inwardly shaken.

“Crush them!!!”

At this moment, Rex knew that, whether for the face of the Eagle Federation or his own pride, he had to make this guy crawl away from here today!!

“Roar!!!!”

Unlike Ian, Rex went all out from the start, even using his beast taming skills. As the battle began, his rock-type Tyrannosaurus Rex roared toward the sky, releasing an extremely compressed yellow energy orb.

“Dragon Star Cluster!”

Boom.

The yellow orb transformed into a gigantic flying dragon, soaring high into the sky. It then exploded, shattering into countless fragments.

What followed was a truly spectacular scene. Each fragment reshaped itself into dragon-headed meteorites. These meteorites, ignited by friction with the air, blazed with flames as they hurtled toward the arena at high speed, covering the entire battleground in their attack range!!

“Holy crap.”

Seeing such a massive ultimate move, the Fourth Generation couldn’t help but exclaim. This move perfectly combined energy compression, release, and shaping artistic conception.

Moreover, the power level of this sovereign Tyrannosaurus Rex was leagues beyond that of the previous commander-level Tyrannosaurus Rex. It aimed to destroy the entire arena, leaving the sword-holding dog with nowhere to hide.

However, in the face of this massive ultimate move, Lu Ran remained calm. Erha slightly raised its head, and a violent wind force seemed to gather from all directions. In an instant, the giant sword it was holding in its mouth flew out!!!

Whoosh!!!

The Ice Sky Greatsword soared upward. In that moment, the wind wrapped around the sword seemed to alter the refraction of light, making the sword’s shape appear almost ethereal. Yet, no matter how ephemeral the sword appeared, the will of the sword it emitted was sharp and unmistakable, causing the air to tremble and creating countless ripples.

Without slowing down, the sword cut through the sky at a sharp angle, and in an instant, it pierced through one of the dragon-shaped meteorites. The meteorite shattered like plastic hit by a bullet, instantly exploding.

Afterward, the flight of the Ice Sky Greatsword did not cease. It flew straight in one direction at an almost untraceable speed, cutting through the air. Each collision point resulted in another Dragon Star Cluster exploding.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Amidst countless explosions, the flying sword weaved through the sky in a dazzling display, showcasing various incredible angles and flight paths.

In just a few seconds, General Ha had seemingly ignited a beautiful firework display in mid-air with the flying sword. The greatsword pierced through all the descending Dragon Star Clusters, lighting up the sky with flaming orbs. This stunning scene left everyone utterly speechless.

So… this was how it was resolved?

“This kind of attack… are you kidding me!” Unlike the others, Rex and the Tyrannosaurus Rex were equally shocked. However, they had perfectly taken advantage of General Ha’s distraction while controlling the sword. At some point, the Tyrannosaurus Rex had charged forward, aiming its ferocious bite at the now swordless General Ha•

It was obvious that Lu Ran’s strange pet beast’s main power lay in its sword. Now that General Ha was distracted with sword control, it was at its most vulnerable!

But in the next moment, facing the razor-sharp teeth, Erha made an unimaginable move. Its tail swept out, and somehow, a longsword, entirely condensed and compressed from wind force, had coiled around its tail. The tail and the head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex clashed directly!!

“Roar!!”

A hurricane erupted. In an instant, teeth flew everywhere, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s head was knocked askew.

It let out a cry of pain!!

Rex’s expression changed once again.

“What is with this dog!”

Its tail-swinging sword strike was even more terrifying than the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s bite???

Wait a minute, is this dog really just an upper commander?

“Is that all?” Lu Ran’s mocking voice rang out again. The sound of something slicing through the air reverberated as the Ice Sky Greatsword rapidly descended from the sky!!

Despite the intense pain, sensing the lethal danger, the Tyrannosaurus Rex widened its eyes and roared furiously, compressing its entire rock armor. Yet, in the next instant, the Ice Sky Greatsword, defying all logic, effortlessly pierced through the rock armor as if slicing through tofu, brutally impaling the massive body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex to the ground!!

Boom!!!

The massive Tyrannosaurus Rex fell, letting out a heartrending roar. Its body rolled and struggled on the ground, trying to rise even while bathed in blood. A sovereign species indeed, it stood resilient even in the face of the Dragon Slayer Sword Dog’s sword intent. However, General Ha’s assault was far from over. The Ice Sky Greatsword soared back into its mouth.

With both mouth and tail wielding swords, the Dual Sword school form was displayed.

At that moment, sensing the overwhelming aura radiating from General Ha, which was no less imposing than that of a sovereign species, Rex’s pupils contracted. He finally realized something was wrong.

This dog…

It’s a sovereign species!!!

Moreover, it was the kind that could crush sub-dragons of the same level!!

The opponent had hidden its true strength even deeper!

“Stand up!! Defend yourself!” he shouted, trying to rouse the Tyrannosaurus Rex, his mind in chaos.

But to Rex’s dismay, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, heavily injured and facing the terrifying will of General Ha, had lost its fighting spirit.

“Roar鈥”” Even the sovereign Tyrannosaurus Rex couldn’t help but show a look of panic.

This was the oppressive presence of the Dragon Slayer Sword Dog.

At this moment, General Ha had transformed into a tornado once again, arriving in an instant. As the gale passed, violent air currents shook the surroundings, and several slashes appeared on the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s body. Its enormous frame was even lifted into the air by the wind, the sight of the several-ton behemoth being thrown skyward was beyond imagination.

General Ha’s offensive didn’t stop. After a brief pause on the ground, it propelled itself upward with all four limbs, executing a series of extraordinarily elegant slashes in mid-air.

One strike, two strikes, three strikes… a total of twenty-one consecutive slashes!

This powerful, smooth, and dazzling gale swordsmanship left the Fourth Generation in the audience stunned in their seats.

The battle was simply too overwhelming.

All of this happened within just a few seconds.

The sovereign Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had stunned many and was Rex’s pride, was utterly powerless. Like its kin before it, it was crushed mercilessly!!

It seemed to truly validate Lu Ran’s words, “Is that all you’ve got?”

In the audience, an elderly researcher who had arrived late was now staring wide-eyed at the battle unfolding on the field, a look of disbelief on his face. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Dr. Hayden from the Dinosaur Life Research Team had originally come to watch Rex’s Tyrannosaurus Rex crush the Xia Country’s Fourth Generation prodigy. But upon arriving, he saw that it was their team’s pride and joy being utterly thrashed, causing him to breathe heavily.

“How… how could this happen?”

Of course, the most devastated at this moment was Rex himself. The sharp Dragon Slayer Sword intent seemed to travel through the contract, slicing through his mental will as well.

At this moment, facing Lu Ran and his team’s fierce offensive, Rex felt as if his throat was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

He finally understood Ian’s feelings; he almost fainted from fear, as if he were witnessing the terrifying scene of the dinosaur mass extinction.

A monster…

Rex no longer dared to feel invincible because of the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s strength. To him now, this Erha was the true king of monsters.

With a thunderous crash, as the Tyrannosaurus Rex fell to the ground, General Ha landed and cast its gaze over the remaining members of the Tyrannosaurus Rex team. They… though not having fought, were nearly scared out of their wits.

After slaying the sovereign, Lu Ran unequivocally declared to the world the complete defeat of the Tyrannosaurus Rex team!

“How boring, let’s go.”

Seeing Rex and the entire Tyrannosaurus Rex team in a state of shock, Lu Ran felt that there was no point in continuing the fight given the situation. It was better to go back and prepare for tomorrow’s Freshman Tournament…

No, to claim the ethereal flower.

With that, he turned to leave, paying no mind to the feelings of the Tyrannosaurus Rex team.

At that moment, Rex, facing Lu Ran’s back, showed no reaction at all, evidently too frightened to respond.

It was then that a loud shout suddenly erupted from the audience, silencing the bustling, noisy venue!!

“Rex!!! What are you doing!! Snap out of it!!!”

Dr. Hayden shouted from the high platform. He couldn’t accept that Rex, who had consumed countless resources, was displaying such a state at this crucial moment.

“Who is that…?”

“That’s Dr. Hayden from the Eagle Federation, one of the leaders of the Dinosaur Resurrection Project!!” Many beastmasters were shocked upon seeing him, not expecting Dr. Hayden to be present.

He was a first-generation beastmaster of the Federation, a rare figure who became a beastmaster in his old age.

Due to his age, he didn’t become a combat beastmaster. However, in the field of pet beast research, he had made remarkable strides, leading his team to resurrect the dinosaur species, which cemented his status as one of the most renowned pet beast researchers of the present time.

“Lu Ran, stop right there!”

At this moment, despite knowing that as a first-generation researcher, it was somewhat beneath him to engage with a fourth-generation newcomer, Dr. Hayden couldn’t accept Lu Ran leaving so nonchalantly after decimating the Tyrannosaurus Rex team.

“What is it? Do you have a stronger dinosaur?”

Lu Ran looked up at the researcher who had called him.

“You brat!” Dr. Hayden fumed. “Don’t get too cocky. These dinosaurs haven’t yet reached their full potential! Once they’ve transformed into Loong-type, you’ll be the one getting crushed!!”

“Woof?” General Ha disdainfully glanced at the old man.

“How long will that take?” Lu Ran shrugged. “I can wait. Just hope that by then… I haven’t already raised a giant dragon.”

“As for why… you’ll find out soon enough.”

With that, Lu Ran continued walking away, teleporting out and leaving Dr. Hayden fuming.

Raising a giant dragon? What a joke!

Meanwhile, at Xia Country’s Beast Taming University…

The campus website publicly released information about a new professor.

Name: Lu Ran

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Introduction: Specially appointed professor of the Culinary Department at Beast Taming University, fourth-generation beastmaster, currently the first person on Blue Star to master “dragon culinary intent” and recognized as a Dragon Chef with the ability to raise dragons.

Following the news of Lu Ran’s sword slash defeating the sovereign Tyrannosaurus Rex, countries around the world were once again shaken.

No one had anticipated that the Eagle Federation had hidden such a powerful sovereign asset.

But even more unexpected was that, despite this formidable trump card, Lu Ran’s Gale Sword Dog crushed it effortlessly.

Such monstrous strength instantly gained global acknowledgment of Lu Ran as the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster in Xia Country.

However, what shocked countries even more was Lu Ran’s response to Dr. Hayden’s Loong-type challenge from the Eagle Federation, and the revelation from Xia Country’s official sources about another aspect of Lu Ran’s identity.

Blue Star’s first Dragon Chef!

A world-class cultivator capable of raising dragons through culinary arts!

In that moment, countries around the world felt that a duel of dragons between the Eagle Federation and Xia Country was inevitable!

“A professor in the cultivating department?!!”

“This is just insane!!!”

Meanwhile, the seeded players preparing in Sky City felt a series of shocks. Hearing about Lu Ran’s subsequent sword slash defeating the sovereign had already left them deeply shaken, cursing the abnormality of it all. Now, learning that Lu Ran was not only a student but also a professor in the cultivating department left them even more disheartened, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Great, great, a university professor coming down to compete with a bunch of freshmen for resources! How could there be such a person?
