Chapter 42 - 36: The Bigger the Storm, the Higher the Pig Flies_2
Exactly because of this, Mr. Husky took only two days to master the Sword Qi, which was so unbelievable, and could rapidly make it onto the list.
The farmer's own Pet Beast hadn't mastered even a single skill yet, only capable of basic Rock Energy Coverage… n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Now, seeing Lu Ran and the others had mastered Gale, he was very shocked...
But what surprised him even more, was yet to come.
"Then let's begin," Lu Ran said, and then, the energy that had been flowing slowly over Mr. Husky's body surface like a stream suddenly became as rapid as a flood, causing its figure to begin to blur!!
"What?" "Huff!" Both the man and the pig were startled.
"Woof!!"
Face the Gale!
Mr. Husky's eyes flashed, holding a grudge while looking at the solemnly-faced wild pig opposite, knowing the drill, right? In the next instant, it dashed forward, kicking up the dust where it trod, its speed truly like a gust of wind!
"How could it be so fast…" the pig farmer didn't understand. At this moment, without needing his reminder, the wild pig had already covered its body with the earthy yellow Rock Energy, its gaze fixed deathly on Mr. Husky.
The strategy the farmer devised for it to counter Wind Attribute Beasts was, if it came to close combat, to rely first on the defensive advantage for a frontal collision. If it couldn't react in time, just to withstand the hit, then quickly respond and counterattack!
However, as good as the plan was, in the wild pig's vision, Mr. Husky, whose speed was like an afterimage, simply vanished.
"On the side!" the farmer, with a broader perspective, immediately alerted.
Even at this speed, Mr. Husky could still change its trajectory. In just an instant, it moved from in front of the wild pig to its side, striking with full force.
"Oof!" The wild pig felt something bad was coming. By the time it reacted, the sky-blue afterimage had already collided with it. It only felt a tremendous pain coming from the side of its body, and even the Rock Energy covering it started to deform.
Even with the protection of Rock Energy, the collision was so intense that the wild pig uttered a pig-like scream of agony, and before it could even retaliate, its hefty body was sent flying several meters off the ground by the impact!
"Augh!!!"
With a thud, the wild pig rolled on the ground.
The farmer was stunned.
And at that moment, Mr. Husky also exited the frenzied Gale state, looking as if it had taken its revenge, it wore a triumphant expression.
But soon after, it was startled again as it saw the wild pig rolling back to its feet, glaring at it fiercely.
"Its defensive power is indeed not bad; to think that it only suffered light injuries from that level of impact," Lu Ran said. "It seems that with normal means, breaking through your defense will be somewhat difficult."
The farmer: ???
What kind of joke is that, a Husky sending a wild pig flying several meters, and that's called normal means? What was that thing just now... Basic Gale isn't that strong!
"Yellowy, that won't do, you move as well! It can't break your defense, don't be afraid," the farmer swung his arm, feeling the threat from Mr. Husky and deciding not to sit idly by, so he urged the wild pig to charge straight at Mr. Husky.
"Huff!" The wild pig made a sudden advance, not as fast as Mr. Husky, but still not slow, and its ram looked even more intimidating.
Seeing this, Mr. Husky didn't torture the opponent with its speed advantage but instead opened its mouth.
"Roar!!!"
A white Wild Wind gathered in Mr. Husky's mouth. Accompanied by its roar, it blew towards the wild pig, the strong wind adding extreme resistance to its progress, making it nearly impossible for the pig to move forward in the arena.
"This is..." the farmer was shocked once again.
[Skill]: Roar of the Wind
[Introduction]: A basic skill formed by concentrating Wind Attribute Energy inside and releasing it through the mouth!
Well... Currently, it's a move with almost zero lethality, that can only disrupt the opponent's movement. Having mastered Sword Qi, it wasn't difficult for Mr. Husky to grasp this skill by association. It was merely a breath of air, even simpler than Sword Qi, an Energy Release type skill. Because its effect was so weak, even though Mr. Husky had already known it for a while, Lu Ran hadn't even counted this as a training result.
"Huff!" At that moment, the wild pig wept, struggling to push forward but unable to.
The very Husky that it had looked down upon, what kind of monster was it? Why did it feel harder to deal with than the bosses they teamed up to tackle before?
"Grraaah!!!" The wild pig tried to unleash even greater strength.
But at that time, Mr. Husky had only just started to put in effort. It accelerated its Energy Flow once more, and in an instant, the gale it blew from its mouth became even more fierce and persistent. Accompanied by a "Roar," the wild pig, initially trying to make a sudden advance, was blown backwards, flipping through the air and landing heavily on the ground with a squeal.
Large beads of sweat once again streamed down the farmer's forehead.
"Woof woof woof." Besides, at this moment, Mr. Husky also looked at the pig farmer, apparently dissatisfied with his claim that it couldn't breach the wild pig's defenses.
"Aooow~~" It opened its mouth, and this time, it wasn't the Roar of the Wind but a gathering storm within its jaws. A tangible, white Divine Sword of Wind, completely shaped by the wind, was held in its mouth!
Energy Shaping, skills, Sword of Wind!
Even without external objects, Mr. Husky had shaped a Wind Sword with exceptionally powerful cutting properties!
This scene once again left the pig farmer dumbfounded. What was this, Energy Shaping?
Energy Flow, Energy Release, Energy Shaping... What's the deal with this Husky?!
"Eh." It wasn't just the pig farmer who was surprised, even Lu Ran was now looking at Mr. Husky with a surprised expression, impressed by the doggo. You weren't even taught Energy Shaping, and you've already learned it on your own?
Right, the Wind Attribute Energy often flowed through the Wind Meteor Sword; it probably became very familiar with the sword's structure. Plus, with its good comprehension and control over energy, it makes sense it learned Energy Shaping on its own after what the pig farmer said... What the heck?!
In less than 10 days, it's almost mastered the four advanced skills! This doggo... is too freakish.
"Mr. Husky, disperse it, no sword fighting allowed," Boss Lu said, fearing that he might hurt the opponent. Since it was a sparring session, the current state where it was difficult to breach the opponent's defenses was quite good.
"Wuu..." Mr. Husky was obedient and looked again at the now-standing wild pig with somewhat wobbly legs.
"I..." The pig farmer fell silent.
He realized he was wrong. From the start, he shouldn't have harbored any hope of winning. Those who make it to the Divine Pet List... are all monsters. It couldn't be that Lu Ran was pushed down because he hadn't challenged the Secret Realm again in these seven days, could it?!
...
That evening.
Lu Ran and the pig farmer parted ways.
The pig farmer gained the experience of being fancily beaten up by a Wind Attribute Beast, and Lu Ran, unceremoniously, took the Awakening Leaf as his sparring compensation.
Five Poison Sect Saintess: [You haven't been back in so long, my parents are worried about you. When will you come back? Let's have a meal together.]
Lu Ran returned to his private room and, as usual, replied to Fang Lan's message.
[Okay, I'll go back today.]
Boss Lu thought about it and realized he hadn't been home for quite a while. Also, wasn't school about to start? Maybe this time he should contact Little White Dragon and sort out the school matters as well.
As for challenging the Demon Cat Forest again, there was no rush; he could do that after returning.
After making the decision, Lu Ran reluctantly spent 5 crystal coins to teleport back home.
Upon returning home, he first took a shower and then changed into a new set of clothes, ready to call Fang Lan to arrange a meal.
However, just then, a shadow somewhat black in color suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ran, crawling onto the TV and looking at him with red eyes.
This was a little lizard, its color a deep brown, with a yellowish-brown belly, looking very much like a mini giant dragon, exceedingly domineering. Its most impressive feature was undoubtedly its eyes, wrapped in orange-red irises.
"What's up? Didn't I prepare enough food and water for you before I left?" Lu Ran looked at it, the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard which was the birthday gift from Fang Lan.
Lu Ran liked to call it the True Red-Eye Black Dragon.
He also liked to call it the King of Sudden Death.
Through Psychic Sensing, sometimes Lu Ran could understand what it was feeling.
[There are no grasshoppers that I like to eat today; I'm going to die suddenly!]
[It's so dark and scary; I'm going to die suddenly!]
[That dog is so frightening; I'm going to die suddenly!]
[The poop-scooper is so ugly; I'm going to die suddenly!]
[I don't know why; just going to die suddenly!]
Uh-huh... Always playing dead over any small thing. Of course, most of the "dying suddenly" acts were pretend, mainly because it was also quite timid. Lu Ran felt he hadn't accidentally killed it yet, which really wasn't easy.
"Eh, right." Seeing the True Red-Eye Black Dragon suddenly coming out to show its presence, Lu Ran's eyes lit up. He took out the newly obtained Awakening Leaf and said, "King of Sudden Death, come here, I have something good for you to eat, let's test your potential."
