The King of Beast Trainers-Chapter 236 - 142 Lu Ran: My Goodness_1
236 Chapter 142 Lu Ran: My Goodness_1
In the villa, after challenging the Secret Realm for three days, Lu Ran was exhausted mentally and physically.
Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep at home, the Dark Crow he had just shooed away started hitting the glass window again from outside.
"Great King, open the door."
The Dark Crow kept flapping its wings against the glass, calling out through the window.
Lu Ran: ?
"Hey, what do you want?" Lu Ran was speechless, got up from the bed, and opened the window.
What's the matter with this crow now?
Couldn't you have said everything at once before? You're not a qualified underling.
If it were some other big boss, you'd have been dragged out and beheaded by now.
As Lu Ran opened the window, the excited Dark Crow flew in and settled on the railing, saying, "Great King, I think I've awakened an incredible ability."
"It's a Mental Attribute, isn't it? I told you already."
"Research it well. Developing the Mental Attribute to its extreme has many abilities, such as Illusion Techniques."
Just as the Flame's attribute is burning and the Ice Attribute's is freezing, the Mental Attribute's characteristic is that it has a chance of inducing hallucinations in the enemy after an attack.
"No, that's not it!"
The Dark Crow felt it was too troublesome to explain with words, so it decided that seeing is believing, and looked at Lu Ran, saying, "How about this, Great King—why don't you call out the Thunder Dragon General and let me use it for an experiment?"
The Dark Crow felt that with Thunder Dragon General's vengeful nature, using him for experiments would not bode well for it later.
But the thick-skinned Thunder Dragon General wouldn't mind interacting with its "teacher."
"Making it all mysterious."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran said, "He's in the living room next door watching TV with Mr. Husky; come on in."
With that, Lu Ran opened the door of the bedroom and led the Dark Crow into the living room.
Right then, Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death were lying on the couch, watching Tom and Jerry, laughing heartily.
How can there be such a dumb cat.
"Woof woof woof."
"Waah waah waah."
It was only when Lu Ran and the Dark Crow approached and Lu Ran turned the volume down to the lowest that the two Pet Beasts turned their gaze.
"King of Sudden Death, come over, Dark Crow wants to experiment with a new ability on you."
King of Sudden Death: ???
"Roar???" King of Sudden Death was bewildered, pouting its lips, frowning, and looking at the Dark Crow General disdainfully with a tactical backward leer.
It's always the bad stuff that comes looking for it.
King of Sudden Death wanted to write the words "huge injustice" on its belly.
"Should we go to the yard?" Lu Ran asked.
"No need! The new ability isn't very strong," said the Dark Crow.
As it spoke, it stared solemnly and earnestly at King of Sudden Death, which had stood up, with its red crow eyes.
"Standing is so tiring, better lie down…" Taking a deep breath, the Dark Crow spoke out directly.
The next instant.
It formed special dark red characters with its words, dissolving into nothingness, and right after that, King of Sudden Death's expression changed, feeling a sudden force, a pressure that made it involuntarily lie back down.
Hum.
The sensation of losing control over its body started to spread.
"Roar!!!"
However, how could the Dark Crow's strength compare to King of Sudden Death's? As King of Sudden Death trembled its scales, struggling hard, it finally shook off the strange feeling from before, then fiercely looked at the Dark Crow.
What in the world!
King of Sudden Death was startled.
"What's this?" Nearby, Lu Ran, and Mr. Husky also suddenly widened their eyes.
Lu Ran rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't seen wrong.
Just now, the Dark Crow's "language" seemed to turn into "special characters" made of energy and disappeared into nothingness.
Right after the Dark Crow finished speaking, King of Sudden Death truly "stumbled," nearly falling down from its standing position as if someone was forcefully pressing down on its body.
However, in reality, aside from the Dark Crow uttering a phrase, no one else interacted with King of Sudden Death.
"Curious indeed," the Dark Crow also said, scratching its head with its wings in confusion.
"Is this the power you gained after awakening the Mental Attribute?" asked Lu Ran.
"Yes, I feel that after awakening the Mental Attribute, my 'vocal cords' seem able to fuse Dark Attribute strength with Psychic Power."
"This new Fusion of powers gives me the sensation that my 'vocal organs,' just like my claws and beak, could be used as means of attack."
"So I tried it, and it really works!"
After the Dark Crow finished speaking, Lu Ran pondered.
Clearly, this was a power akin to "words becoming reality."
Of course, Lu Ran glanced at King of Sudden Death, and through their mental communication, he learned that this ability was not as exaggerated in essence.
"You're challenging the heavens here." Nevertheless, Lu Ran couldn't help but look at the Dark Crow. Even so, this ability was monstrous enough.
Lu Ran had a general understanding of the Dark Crow's situation.
It must be that an organ on its body mutated during the evolutionary process, giving birth to an ability similar to a "Racial Talent".
This kind of situation is not uncommon. Take Dog King Zhou Mo's Two-Headed Dog, for instance; Lu Ran casually asked about it in the war room afterward.
The other party claimed that the Two-Headed Dog was the offspring of two extraordinary dog breeds, born with a racial mutation, possessing two heads, different from its parents.
Even before the extraordinary revival, bizarre mutant creatures were not rare, so Lu Ran determined that the Dark Crow definitely had a mutation in its "Vocal Cords" during evolution.
That also perfectly explained why it demonstrated such powerful linguistic talent right after awakening its extraordinary powers. Not only could it speak human language fluently, but it could also rapidly learn the languages of other species. This is talent!
However, due to its previous weakness, with only the Dark Attribute, the Dark Crow couldn't properly utilize its "mutational advantage".
It wasn't until today, awakening the Mental Attribute, that the Dark Crow's "Vocal Cords" displayed unique capabilities, combining Dark Attribute power with Psychic Power to form Word Spirit-like, curse-like powers.
Lu Ran felt, this ability was somewhat strong.
It's not called strong because it could influence enemies through language.
Rather, during the "attack process", Lu Ran, Mr. Husky, and King of Sudden Death did not notice at all!
The attack happened without any warning, falling upon King of Sudden Death out of nowhere.
This kind of unforeseeable feeling is the most terrifying, stranger than most Mental Attribute attack methods!
It's really like a "Curse", making someone fall victim from a thousand miles away without the faintest clue.
The level of eeriness is comparable to that of the Time and Space Attributes.
"Try again, this time let me do it, let me personally experience it."
At that moment, Lu Ran took out a piece of beast meat from his Spatial Bag then lifted his hand to kindle a Flame, roasting the meat out of thin air.
The Dark Crow was stunned for a moment and then said in a low voice, "Be careful... don't burn it."
After it finished speaking, Lu Ran's concentration suddenly lapsed, unable to focus, and somewhat fumbled the control over the Flame Spirit, causing the fire to intensify in an instant, and the sizzling meat quickly charred through!
The next moment, Lu Ran quickly came back to his senses and controlled the Flame Spirit, to prevent a fire disaster.
"Can't you say something nicer?" While Lu Ran was shocked at the interesting potency of this ability, he suddenly thought of something.
If the curse could affect the psyche of a living being in a negative way, couldn't it possibly be used positively?
"Let's try again. Next, I'll attempt to shape a flame into an especially complex figure.
With my current control over the flame, shaping it successfully is virtually impossible...
But you try, see if you can influence my psyche by saying 'I believe you can succeed' and thereby enhance my energy control, to achieve a perfect shaping effect," Lu Ran instructed.
"Huh?" The Dark Crow was taken aback, this was an unexpected way to play.
After Lu Ran finished speaking, he began to summon flames, trying to morph the shape of the flame in his palm. He aimed to shape a riding knight woman holding a sword. Following that, Lu Ran was drenched in sweat, evidently unable to complete such a high-difficulty operation.
Not to mention the Crow, even Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death couldn't do it.
Shaping commonly used swords or crafting Armor according to one's physique, that was the standard operation.
Of course, difficulty didn't mean impossibility. For instance, the creator of Infinite City's multiple Secret Realms made them as though they were real, representing the utmost skill in Energy Shaping.
For example, by using the power of words to influence the mental state of living beings, boosting morale, and reducing pain perception. With that in mind, Lu Ran felt that this ability might also be suitable for turning Crow into an army commander.
The Dark Crow army plan mysteriously made great progress.
"Speaking of which, are there similar curse abilities now?"
This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.
Lu Ran took out his phone and started searching on the forum.
After searching for a while, he found nothing.
Lu Ran had thought that even if the natural world had not awakened a creature with the "Curse" ability.
Infinite City should also have "Curse" as a kind of Attribute, right?
But the search revealed that there really was none! Just like there were no legion-type Attributes.
This ability, so common in films and TV works, had not yet been incorporated into Infinite City's luxurious set of Attributes.
Of course, Lu Ran believed that there must be creatures on the Star-Moon Continent that possessed the power of Curse.
Otherwise, how could Principal Shi Zhen have been cursed by a witch?
Now that he thought about it, everything seemed to make sense. Because the Beast Training power on Blue Star had a limited development time and had not birthed a perfect curse system, this led to Shi Zhen having no good way to lift the curse after being afflicted, forcing him to face retirement.
Perhaps in level six, seven, eight Secret Realms and beyond, Attributes related to Curse power might appear, but for now, with nothing available, Principal Shi Zhen had no choice but to immerse himself in research.
However, what Lu Ran hadn't expected was that his own Crow had awakened this ability.
In the future, could its spells also evolve from only affecting the psyche to being powerful enough to affect the body? Just a word could change someone's gender...
After pondering, Lu Ran looked at Crow appreciatively. This ability was good. To waste such a great talent by letting Mr. Husky run free would be a shame. He needed to think of a way to grant it full resources and treatment, and give it some devilish training.
"Truly worthy of being my officer."
The same day.
Beast Training University, Principal's office.
With a sneeze, the First Generation Beast Trainer, Principal Shi Zhen's hair suddenly grew long, his chest began to swell, his buttocks turned pert, and his skin became incredibly moist. The originally handsome Shi Zhen, whose looks didn't match his name, held up his enlarged chest and showed an exasperated expression after transforming into the opposite gender.
"Here it comes again, that dreadful witch, that dreadful Curse."
PS: Thank you to the Alliance Hierarch, Tuoba Goudan!
