The King of Beast Trainers

168  Chapter 110: Level 1 Beast Trainer - Part 2

Bai Ling quickly served the dish to the examiners.

"It's actually boiled Dead Alligator eggs." This was the second time today that the three examiners had encountered a dish made from rare quality ingredients, and they couldn't help but be delighted.

The plump examiner quickly cracked open the boiled egg, and each of the three examiners, using their utensils, cut a portion, together with the yolk and egg white, and placed it into their mouths.

Their expressions were ones of intoxication.

"Not bad, although the cooking technique is somewhat rough, it has preserved the deliciousness of the Dead Alligator egg to the fullest extent possible. With your pursuit of ingredient quality, you are already considered a qualified Gourmet Hunter!"

"Passed."

"Qualified." The three examiners announced her score under Bai Ling's nervous gaze. As soon as they declared it, Sister White Tiger clenched her fists tightly, barely able to prevent herself from jumping up.

"Yay!!!" She exclaimed with joy, while also hearing the sound of the breakthrough mission being completed in her ears.

She seemed quite satisfied with the reward, her face beaming with happiness as she looked at Lu Ran. After all, at this moment, aside from her contracted pet beast, the only one who could understand her feelings was Lu Ran, another Infinite City Trialist.

"Congratulations." Far away, Lu Ran also smiled and offered his congratulations.

Right then, perhaps due to her elated mood, Bai Ling found Lu Ran much more pleasing to the eye.

As time passed by, the special evaluation soon ended. Out of the 72 candidates, 26 passed. Of these, 24 demonstrated strong culinary skills, elevating ordinary ingredients to the level of special-grade cuisine. One candidate had used common culinary techniques to fully retain the deliciousness of rare ingredients, and the last one, Lu Ran, was the undisputed first place with both strong culinary skills and perfect ingredients in this session.

Next, the plump examiner took away the many candidates who had passed to register them back at the association.

As the most outstanding performer of this session, Lu Ran was kept behind alone.

The elderly examiner and the female examiner looked at Lu Ran with great importance.

"I didn't expect Tsunami Province to have such a young and promising chef like you. My name is Gao Tian, a Level 4 Gourmet Hunter and a special-grade chef. I think... we should soon become colleagues."

"My name is Jin Yan, a Level 3 Gourmet Hunter and a special-grade chef. You are very impressive," said the female examiner admiringly as she looked at the young Lu Ran. "You should know why we've asked you to stay, right?"

"Every examination has a recommendation spot that allows candidates to go to a special training location for further study. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"We can apply for you."

In front of the other candidates, the three examiners had not introduced themselves, but now in front of Lu Ran, they treated him almost as an equal, clearly believing that Lu Ran's potential would soon make him a renowned chef.

"Thank you, Examiner Gao, Examiner Jin," said Lu Ran, petting the restless Mr. Husky's head. "I wonder if I might have a chance... to go to Dragon Valley for further training."

"You want to comprehend Dragon's Cooking Intent and become a Dragon Chef?!" After Lu Ran spoke, Examiner Gao was taken aback. He had assumed that Lu Ran would choose to further cultivate the Ice Cooking Intent or find a suitable place to practice the Fire Cooking Intent to enrich his cuisine.

But Lu Ran choose the highly esteemed Dragon's Cooking Intent right off the bat—this was indeed a huge step!

"Are you serious?" Examiner Jin Yan furrowed her brows and said, "Hasn't your master told you that Dragon's Cooking Intent is one of the most difficult Cooking Intents to grasp."

"Choosing so might very likely waste this opportunity..."

Everyone wants to learn from Emperor Yan Sizhen and cultivate a dragon through cuisine, but alas, not everyone's culinary art is up to par.

"I still want to choose this one," Lu Ran said earnestly. Other Cooking Intents like Flame or Grass held less interest for him; he could find training locations corresponding to these Intents in the Blue Star Infinite City Secret Realm.

But a training environment for Dragon's Cooking Intent was not so easy to find.

"Well then..." Seeing Lu Ran's determination, Examiner Gao knew there was no persuading him. From Lu Ran's choice of ingredients, they understood Lu Ran's nature, always striving for perfection.

"There shouldn't be a problem. Since you're set on it, we will report your request. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, someone will come to Tsunami City to pick you up and take you to Dragon Valley."

"Thank you!" Lu Ran was elated—it was happening!

Next, all I need to do is wait near Dragon Valley until the time is up, and then I can return to Infinite City. As for the gains during this period... I'll leave it to fate.

......

That day.

Lu Ran returned to the inn.

After coming back, Lu Ran immediately removed the restrictions.

In an instant, Lu Ran felt a warm current erupt within his body, making his already strong physique and spiritual power even stronger. He felt that describing himself as superhuman at this moment would not be an exaggeration.

Lu Ran quickly checked his attributes using Data Eye.

[Race]: Human

[Beast Training Level]: Level 1

[Beast Training Techniques]: Super Beast Mimicry

[Special Abilities]: Psychic Sensing, Blizzard Sword Intent

In the Novice Secret Realm stage, whether it's the Beginner Trial Secret Realm, the common Novice Secret Realm, or the Novice Breakthrough Secret Realm, Infinite City will provide trialists with Data Eye to increase their chances of survival.

However, once you leave the novice stage, this beginner's benefit disappears. It has to be said, Data Eye is very useful. There are only two ways for a Beast Trainer to obtain Data Eye additionally: one is through the original beginner trial Secret Realm and the other is through each level's Breakthrough Secret Realm. Securing a good rating there gives a chance to be rewarded with Data Eye.

At this moment, Lu Ran's Data Eye had upgraded from (Basic) to (Intermediate). Combined with the temporary special Data Eye benefit for beginners, he saw much more information about himself, such as Psychic Sensing and Blizzard Sword Intent, which were previously hidden techniques and invisible. Of course, Lu Ran was able to see his own information, but he had never heard of someone else's Data Eye being able to see the information of other Beast Trainers, at most the basic information of other people's Pet Beasts.

Lu Ran quickly took out Mr. Husky's Contract Card.

With his own breakthrough, Mr. Husky's level had also significantly increased! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Name]: Sword-Bearing Dog

11:02

[Species Level]: High Superior

[Growth Level]: Level 15

[Fusion Traits]: Weapon Control

[Racial Talent]: King of Swords

[Skills]: Gale, Sword Qi, Roar of the Wind, Sword of Wind, Wings of Wind, Storm Slash, Blizzard Sword Intent, Sword Control

Mr. Husky's Growth Level broke through its bottleneck and straight up rose by 5 levels. Seeing this, Lu Ran knew that the rare Dog Food, training in the Abyssal Secret Realm, and culinary exercises from the recent days had taken effect.

"I wonder if Mr. Husky's level can reach Level 20 in half a month," Lu Ran murmured. If he ends up having two Level 20 Pet Beasts by that time, his strength would undoubtedly form a terrifying suppressive force against other fourth-generation Beast Trainers. After all, he is now very well equipped. The second traits of Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death were certainly ready, as prepared by Doctor Gu.

Then, Lu Ran took out the Flame Spirit Skill Card and directly chose [Learn].

The slumbering fire giant dragon in Dragon Valley is of the Fire Attribute, and its Dragon Might also contains fire elements. Lu Ran thought that by learning the Flame Power, he might better comprehend the Flame Dragon's Cooking Intent.

As Lu Ran activated the Beast Training Skill Card, a red, ghostly stick figure began to slowly take shape within him...
