Chapter 254: SSS!

The newly initiated basic domain can only establish a barrier in its original area and once completed, it cannot be altered.

However, the domain released by General Ha at this moment not only can move but also continuously absorbs the ferocious plants from the outside and transforms them into sword grass through an unrestricted force. The advanced technique involved here can no longer be considered just a nascent domain!

Rather, it is an advanced domain!

It is already ahead of many First Generations on Blue Star.

This is largely thanks to General Ha’s astonishing Comprehension, which allows it to master anything very quickly. Initially, Lu Ran was worried about whether they could finish the tournament’s preliminary round. But over the past few days, as General Ha exhibited the advantages of the Ultimate Perception Trait and gradually perfected the domain, Lu Ran’s worries completely dissipated.

However, the two legends who were unaware of the Ultimate Perception Trait were filled with endless confusion and shock at this moment.

“Yu’er-“

Suddenly, just a few seconds after being immersed in the shock of the domain, City Lord Ye’s senior sister’s eyes widened with worry for her disciple’s safety.

When City Lord Ye approached her, she was very confident in her disciple, as they had been fortunate enough to contract a young overlord plant.

But when she saw Lu Ran’s pet beast release such a high-level domain, her heart sank, and she realized something was very wrong.

Facing such a domain, there was no way the Flower Demon Emperor, who had no experience in contending with domains, could successfully break it and free its owner from the constraints.

What awaited them was a high likelihood of defeat!

“Junior Sister, did you do this on purpose??”

At this moment, City Lord Ye’s senior sister was both angry and frustrated, already imagining how devastating this would be for her disciple’s confidence.

“If I said I wasn’t very familiar with his strength either?”

“Also, don’t worry, he should act with discretion.”

City Lord Ye’s face hardened; this Lu Ran was too abnormal, truly worthy of being a beastmaster blessed by a legendary creature.

Did she really have the qualifications to take such a person as her disciple?

In the end, not only Beast Taming Hall but also the legendary creatures might come to destroy Tree Realm City and blame her for misleading Lu Ran.

But the bet had already been made, and City Lord Ye didn’t know how to take it back for the moment.

“Yu Rui won’t be in danger, right?”

At this moment, as the domain barrier moved, Jiang Ming and Liu Man were trembling all over, greatly worried about Yu Rui’s situation.

The domain…

Will Yu Rui be alright?

If a Child of Legend dies in the breakthrough secret realm or at the hands of a beastmaster from another world, it would definitely be earth-shattering news for the Star Moon Federation.

No…

Perhaps they wouldn’t even be able to take this news out.

If Yu Rui dies, Lu Ran would most likely eliminate them to keep the secret…

Kill potential enemies! They kept imagining the worst.

At this moment, Liu Man and Jiang Ming were deeply terrified, unable to comprehend why the beastmaster from the other world was so formidable.

Dual overlords, domain skill… What on earth is this configuration?

Meanwhile, General Ha’s domain continued moving and expanding, constantly enveloping new beastmasters.

At the same time, it was also separating out the already subdued beastmasters.

“It’s the Plantmaster of the Flower Demon Emperor—“

“It’s the Plantmaster of that War Ancient Tree—“

The examiners following behind the moving domain saw a few unconscious figures at the edge of the domain and were instantly alarmed.

They discovered these were the owners of the two overlords!!

They had been separated from the domain just like the previous beastmasters!!

“They still have a breath.”

“The injuries are manageable, but their spirits have taken a significant hit, they might need spiritual healing-“

“Hurry, take them for treatment.”

The examiners checked the two’s condition and were inwardly shocked.

The ordinary beastmasters were one thing, but seeing Gu Yu and Yu Rui, who also had overlords, in such a miserable state was alarming.

To fight two against one…

No, to fight many against one, and still be unable to break the domain.

A true symbol of strength.

“Lost, huh.” At this moment, seeing her disciple indeed defeated, City Lord Ye’s senior sister felt a chill in her heart. But thankfully, the injuries were not too severe.

Just as Legend Ye said, Lu Ran, no matter who he faced, held back and didn’t inflict lethal injuries, even against “enemy faction” Yu Rui.

“It seems this tournament might really end in the preliminary round,” City Lord Ye’s senior sister said, twitching at the corner of her mouth.

“I never thought this tournament would end in such a manner,” Legend Ye silently watched the Death Forest.

At this moment, after dealing with the more formidable contestants, Lu Ran and General Ha began a rampage.

The remaining contestants were all relatively weak. Feeling the terrifying sword intent approaching from behind, they accelerated their escape.

However, the more they focused on and feared Lu Ran, the more they neglected the inherent dangers of the Death Forest.

Many had already been entangled by ferocious plants and lay fallen on the ground.

Even those with somewhat decent strength, who swiftly navigated through the forest using their rich experience, found their faces turning grim upon facing the obstruction of the Sudden Death King ahead.

“Roar-“

Some contestants, who were nearly at the brink of seeing daylight, were directly blown away by the terrifying Dragon Might, fainting just before the finish line.



At the finish line, violent Red Lightning crackled, making the area appear even more perilous than the forest’s interior.

This was Lu Ran’s death line; too much time had already been wasted. He was absolutely unwilling to allow the preliminary round to end with any downtime before the main tournament, which would cut into his secret realm exploration time.

“Damn it…”

“What on earth is going on this year?”

“Where did these monsters come from?”

Ahead was the Sudden Death King, in the middle were the various ferocious plants of the Death Forest, and behind was Lu Ran and General Ha.

At that moment, the contestants in the forest felt a deep sense of despair.

Eventually, due to the high consumption of maintaining the domain and the lack of worthy opponents for General Ha to utilize it against, General Ha reverted to its original form. Lu Ran and General Ha moved forward leisurely, taking down weaker contestants one by one. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In the end, it was Lu Ran, alone, who reached the finish line, arriving at the exit of the Death Forest.

At the exit, the Sudden Death King lay bored, while the surrounding examiners swallowed hard, staring at the man and his dog, not knowing what to say.

“Is there no one left?”

At this moment, having finally reached the exit, Lu Ran looked around the empty surroundings and finally revealed a smile.

“So, there are no contestants left.”

“Does this mean there’s no need for the main tournament? Am I the final winner?” he asked the few examiners guarding the finish line.

The examiners were at a loss for words. One burly middle-aged man stepped forward and said, “That seems to be the case, but this situation is unprecedented. It might require the City Lord’s personal decision…”

“I’m here.”

Before the examiner could finish his sentence, the figure of City Lord Ye appeared at the Death Forest’s finish line. She looked at Lu Ran with a hint of resignation, her voice resonating within the Death Forest and beyond, making sure everyone involved heard her clearly.

“Since only one person passed the preliminary round, this year’s Plant Beast Championship has only one champion.”

“No rankings for the others.”

“The tournament is over!”

As soon as City Lord Ye’s words fell, a delightful sound echoed in Lu Ran’s ears.

[Congratulations, you have completed the breakthrough task.]

[Rating: SSS-level!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 5 million crystal coins.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a contract card (bound).]

[You have reached the promotion criteria for ‘Level 3 Beastmaster.’ Would you like to promote now?]

Lu Ran: “!”

No.

With a quick glance at the rewards, Lu Ran’s heart surged with excitement. Indeed, the rewards for an SSS-level rating were extremely satisfying.

However, now was not the time for excitement. Lu Ran turned his gaze to City Lord Ye.

City Lord Ye also locked eyes with Lu Ran.

“You, come with me,” she finally spoke, taking Lu Ran with her under the watchful eyes of the examiners.

No one knew what the City Lord intended to do with Lu Ran.

But it didn’t matter. What was important now was that the news of this tournament would undoubtedly shake the surrounding regions to their core.

…

The Plant Beast Championship in Tree Realm City ended directly after the preliminary round, nearly causing an uproar in the city.

High-level members of various families were almost dumbstruck upon hearing that a freak had single-handedly ended the tournament in the preliminary round.

Had they not seen their family geniuses being carried back, they wouldn’t have believed it.

The Shi Family.

The Shi Family high-level members were in complete shock. Though they knew Lu Ran was strong, this achievement genuinely startled them.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran, the main character of this event, had already been happily escorted away by Legend Ye.

“You…,” City Lord Ye said, taking a deep breath as she looked at Lu Ran inside the City Lord’s Mansion. “No wonder you agreed to the bet so readily; your strength is formidable.”

“You are the most extraordinary level 2… no, the most extraordinary young generation beastmaster I’ve ever seen.”

“Master, you flatter me,” Lu Ran replied with a shy smile.

City Lord Ye: ???

Did he just call me Master???

“Although I have some strength in beast taming, my experience in Plant Taming is quite lacking,” Lu Ran said humbly.

“They are interrelated. With guidance, you will quickly get into and master the art of Plant Taming,” City Lord Ye said, a slight smile crossing her wrinkled face. “Alright, since you called me Master, I’ll accept you as my disciple.”



“I’ll teach you what you need to know; you don’t need to fulfill any commitments or inherit anything. Just make sure you don’t cause me any trouble in the future.”

“Of course not!” Lu Ran said with delight. “I’m a very honest person.”

“Honest??”

City Lord Ye raised an eyebrow. “Are you joking? An honest person would end a tournament in the preliminary round? Is that something an honest person would do?”

“Well… I was eager to become your disciple and quickly learn about Plant Taming.”
