The King of Beast Trainers

171  Chapter 112: Flame Dragon King_2

No, I should be asking how I came to be in front of it!

Like Lu Ran, Mr. Husky was dumbfounded; it was hot, unbearably hot, to the point where even thinking became a chore, but he still stood in front of Lu Ran, warily watching the Flame Dragon King.

"You————"

Moreover, when this Giant Dragon of Flame opened its mouth, it shocked Lu Ran to his core.

"Have you seen the Divine Deer?"

It knew about the Divine Deer!

At that moment, Lu Ran thought of the Vampire Count, fearing that up next, he might also be thrashed by this Giant Dragon.

There were differences, however.

The Vampire Count knew about the Divine Deer Pendant, likely having heard from his parents. After coming into contact with the extraordinary, Lu Ran's parents must have learned more about the hidden secrets of Lu Family Village, but in the end, they chose to leave the Divine Deer Pendant to Lu Ran and did not secretly take it for themselves.

But this Flame Giant Dragon might have only sensed the aura of the Divine Deer Pendant and thus suspected them of having encountered the Divine Deer itself!

Lu Ran never imagined that the Divine Deer Pendant inside his identity card could be detected by the Flame Dragon King; of course, it was also possible that he and Mr. Husky used it too frequently, which could have made its aura linger on them.

Lu Ran's brain raced, his forehead beaded with sweat, but he still asked in return, "The National Guardian Beast, Flame Dragon King?? You… know about the Divine Deer?!"

"Huh—" The Flame Dragon King stared with its eyes, saying, "I have seen it from a distance once and sensed its power closely; the memory remains vivid to this day. The Divine Deer, as a creature of legends, has an aura that is difficult to replicate. You still haven't answered how you possess its divine energy."

Lu Ran didn't expect to extract such information so easily. Confirmed that the Flame Dragon King held no enmity towards the Divine Deer and even seemed to regard the Deer as stronger, Lu Ran gradually grew bolder.

"I… am probably an emissary of the Divine Deer," he said.

Flame Dragon King: ?

Mr. Husky: ?

Lu Ran was puzzled; wasn't the Divine Deer a totem beast from the ancient times of Blue Star? How had it become a legendary being in the words of the Flame Dragon King from Star-Moon Continent?

What was the relationship between the Star-Moon Continent and Blue Star then? Could it be that the Star-Moon Continent was actually the super-ancient Blue Star?

"What?!" The Flame Dragon King, not sure if it was just not too bright, genuinely showed a look of surprise.

It had never imagined that the lowly Flame Spirit it was talking about was actually an emissary of the Divine Deer.

"I don't understand it very well myself, I just know that my ancestors had some kind of connection with the Divine Deer, so I also received its protection," Lu Ran continued to elaborate.

"No wonder," the Flame Dragon King didn't doubt him, as other than this scenario, it couldn't think of any other way Lu Ran would have been able to come into contact with the Divine Deer.

"You…" the Flame Dragon King was about to ask something more, but then turned its head away, getting sleepy, and thought better of it. Since Lu Ran had admitted to not understanding much about the Divine Deer, it probably wouldn't be able to find out anything else.

Assured there was no danger, it said, "Alright, there's nothing wrong. I'll send you away…"

"Wait, hold on!" While Lu Ran certainly wanted to leave this cursed place quickly, seeing that the Flame Dragon King appeared to be communicable, he seized the opportunity immediately and inquired, "Flame Dragon King, can you tell me about the Divine Deer?"

"Although I have received protection from the Divine Deer and even had it appear in my dreams, I really don't know much about it. I want to know what kind of existence it truly is."

"Ah?" The Flame Dragon King looked at Lu Ran and said, "I'm not very clear myself. I only heard from Yan Sizhen that the Divine Deer is one of the three great Affiliates of the Dragon of Life, one of the Four Great Genesis Dragons of the Star-Moon Continent, a creature of a Legendary Species."

"You've also been visited in dreams?" it asked, surprised.

"Yes, the Divine Deer appeared in my dreams, asking me to seek information about the Dragon of Death, who is one of the Four Great Genesis Dragons as well," Lu Ran pieced everything together, hoping to get more information from the Flame Dragon King.

But unfortunately, even as powerful as the Flame Dragon King was, it hardly knew much about the Divine Deer or the Dragon of Death.

It paused, furrowed its brows, shook its head, and said, "Affiliate of the Dragon of Life, searching for information on the Death Dragon God, I don't understand."

"I can't help you, and the entire Beast Training Empire has very few records on Legendary Beings. Since it's a mission given to you by the Divine Deer, you'll have to push on yourself."

However, it unexpectedly turned to look at Lu Ran, never expecting that this inheritor of the Flame Spirit would be entrusted with a significant task by the Divine Deer.

Humans chosen and valued by Legendary Species generally achieve remarkable success.

As far as it knew, the First Emperor of the Beast Training Empire had been recognized by Legendary Beings, which allowed him to grow and eventually sweep across the continent.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for humans to rise, for those barely seen legendary beings living on the Star-Moon Continent who have lived for countless years are truly the laws of this land, or even, one could say, part of this world.

"I'll send you off then." With its Beast Trainer having perished and having retired itself, the Flame Dragon King, having battled for decades, wasn't too keen on getting involved with these Legendary Beings. Once it confirmed that Lu Ran really had a connection with the Divine Deer, it yawned, intending to show the guest out.

"I..."

Lu Ran was just about to say something, wanting to leverage the Divine Deer's name for a longer chat with the Flame Dragon King, but in the next moment, he and Mr. Husky were abruptly cast out.

Outside, Lu Ran's mouth twitched. This dragon, why was it such a social recluse? Was a longer chat going to kill it?!

However, all of a sudden, Lu Ran realized something different about his current state compared to just moments before...

He quickly looked toward the sky and around, suddenly realizing that the previously overbearing Dragon Might seemed somewhat gentler on him now.

"I can absorb it now!" Lu Ran exclaimed in surprise, noticing that the little matchstick man Flame Spirit inside him seemed to finally be able to absorb the aura of the Flame Dragon.

"Huff, huff!" The matchstick man greedily absorbed the aura, and Lu Ran finally established a special connection with the Dragon Might.

Seeing this, Lu Ran's face lit up with joy, knowing that the Flame Dragon King must have granted him certain privileges. This creature, seemingly indifferent to everything, must have afforded him this special care either because he was the Divine Deer Emissary or perhaps due to his identity as an inheritor of the Flame Spirit!

With this in mind, Lu Ran decided not to hold back. He took out his Wind Cutting Sword, fully activated the Flame Spirit, and, with time running short, set out to grasp the Power of the Flame Dragon as quickly as possible!

At that moment, Mr. Husky sensed the faint Dragon Might around him, all converging upon Lu Ran, and his expression was one of astonishment.

Boss Lu, is this also within your calculations?

...

A few days later, under the secret observation of the Flame Dragon King who had just awakened, Lu Ran progressed rapidly. Holding the Sword of Wind, surrounded by whirlwinds and flames, with one swing of his sword, a giant dragon's phantom would fly out!

"Not bad talent, not in vain that I made an exception for you," nodded the Flame Dragon King in satisfaction. However, on this day, it suddenly noticed that Lu Ran, who had mastered the Flame Dragon Sword Intent, had vanished before its eyes without warning.

"What's happening!"

This unbelievable scene caused the Flame Dragon King to widen its eyes, and soon, it sensed a terrifying power from a higher dimension interfering with its existence.

The world around it, like a shattered mirror or moon on water, broke apart, and the Flame Dragon King, dazed, watched as Lu Ran's figure departed, finally realizing something.

"So that's it. I had already perished long ago, but some great will resurrected me in the form of a historical projection, all for the purpose of training this individual. Incomprehensible power, unthinkable methods... What on earth has the future become..."

In its bewilderment, this Breakthrough Secret Realm completely disappeared.

With time up, all six Infinite City Trialists returned!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
