The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 82 - 67: The Revival of Spiritual Energy (Please Subscribe and Vote)_1

The Star Club President finished speaking, and both Lu Ran and Pluto fell into silence.

They both felt that this update was too absurd.

They looked at each other, at a loss for words.

But with such a major event causing global upheaval, they, as trainee beast trainers, couldn't offer any more insightful opinions.

They weren't powerful enough yet, so naturally, they thought first of the matters close at hand. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Well, I'm going to go."

Lu Ran had been planning to leave already, and the update had only caused a brief delay. Now he was even more eager to leave.

He wanted to leave Infinite City and head back to Blue Star to see what the world had really become.

To see if monsters like those from his dreams were laying siege to cities.

Hopefully not...

In Lu Ran's dreams, some monsters were dozens of meters tall, with tremendous strength, capable of sweeping away skyscrapers with a single breath, hardly distinguishable from divine beasts.

Such power, even Mr. Husky didn't possess.

At full stretch, it could only demolish a small house, far from comparable to those dream-inducing, sky-obscuring evil beasts.

Although Infinite City had initiated global evolution, it was unreasonable for various animals and plants to evolve so rapidly.

"Okay, Little Pluto, let's go too," the Star Club President also wanted to head back to Blue Star immediately, and thus spoke to Pluto.

The three of them left the Star Guild together.

...

On his way to his private room, Lu Ran mulled over the discussions among the beast trainers in Infinite City, where people were continuously teleporting away every second.

At this time, the hottest topic in Infinite City 3 should have been Passerby A's instant kill of a low-ranking leader, displaying overwhelming strength, and claiming the Wild Map BOSS.

But now, no one mentioned it anymore. The global catastrophe was far more attention-grabbing than the performance of a newcomer.

"The official explanation is that Infinite City is a facility left behind by an ancient civilization to cultivate beast trainers."

"As a result, this facility is no longer just cultivating humans but accelerating the evolution of wild beasts that have not been contracted."

"This could pose a shock to human society."

"Does that mean Infinite City doesn't fully stand with humanity?"

"But if we had to explain, it's not impossible. 'Born in trouble and dying in comfort,' only with enough external pressure will countries pay more attention to the beast trainer profession."

"At the same time, the evolution of global flora and fauna can provide better-qualified pet beasts and more abundant resources for the beast trainer profession."

"Or perhaps it is inevitable that spiritual energy will resurge, and Infinite City is merely accelerating the process, following the worldwide trend."

Lu Ran thought a lot along the way and soon reached his private room. Without a second word, he teleported back to the Prism Arena.

As soon as he returned to the Prism Arena, Lu Ran heard chaotic noises inside.

Thump, thump, thump!

"Is Junior Brother Lu Ran in his room?" Senior Brother He Dali knocked and asked.

"I'm here! What's happening?" Lu Ran answered.

"There was a minor earthquake nearby, just checking how you are doing. If you're okay, I'll be on my way," Senior Brother He said.

"All good, I'm fine," Lu Ran replied and then grabbed his phone.

At that moment, his phone started popping up with news alerts one after another.

"Mysterious Nine-Colored Meteorite falls from the sky, crashes into the Pacific Ocean. What's the connection between this meteorite's arrival and Infinite City?"

"Upon testing, a huge amount of natural energy has been found erupting around the world, especially in remote areas far from human habitation such as the deep oceans and the Amazon Rainforest, where the natural energy is particularly dense. Urban areas have comparatively less natural energy."

"Giant tree reaching the sky spotted at Changbai Mountain, with suspected prehistoric giant beast underneath. Tourists captured footage of a nearly ten-meter-long giant tiger!"

"Pet blogger broadcasting live gets attacked by their own pet beast's extraordinary evolution and is bitten to death on camera!"

Similar news kept breaking, and in a short time, hundreds of similar stories surfaced.

The impact of global evolution was far greater than even the arrival of Black Card or the commencement of the Beast Training Era.

Among these, Lu Ran spotted a piece of news that made his heart tighten, and he quickly clicked on it. Realizing it was a male blogger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Ran hurriedly called Fang Lan.

The call was answered instantly.

"Fang Lan, how are things with you? I just came from Infinite City; it just underwent a second update!"

Fang Lan: "I... I know all about it! I'm really busy right now; several of my pet beasts have suddenly awakened extraordinary powers, and I don't know what to do."

Lu Ran: "Damn, are you okay? I just saw the news; some people were bitten to death by their own pets."

"What could happen to me? Together they can't even beat Xiao Lan. It's just... quite astonishing at the moment. You know what I mean?" Fang Lan seemed to be outside in her room.

"Don't worry, they're quite fond of me, I can control them. How about you?"

Lu Ran: "I'm okay over here too. I'm still in Jinling; we have the Beast Training Building here, so even if there's short-term chaos, it should be quickly controlled."

"Alright, stay safe. I gotta go, I need to deal with these little rascals!"

Excitement echoed from the other side of the phone.

Lu Ran's face darkened, as he couldn't shake the feeling that she was quite satisfied with this global evolution?

After they hung up the phone, Lu Ran pondered. Well, now with a bunch of animals having evolved, the sale of Awakening Leaves and even higher-level resources must be a tough sell, right?

With that thought, Lu Ran quickly searched for King of Sudden Death's figure.

The guy was still sleeping.

"Huh?" As Lu Ran looked at King of Sudden Death at that moment, he noticed something different.

It seemed like King of Sudden Death had grown significantly in size, now as large as a small arm.

It appeared that the resurgence of spiritual energy had fed the sleeping King of Sudden Death as well.

"King of Sudden Death, wake up!" Lu Ran called out to King of Sudden Death.

It immediately opened its eyes in a daze.

"Wah-kah..."

"Stop sleeping, get ready; we're headed back to Green Sea City soon."

Lu Ran was still worried about the situation in Green Sea City.

Jinling was a megalopolis with strong armed forces, so the safety risks weren't high, but the situation in Green Sea was different.

"First, eat this."

Lu Ran took out the Thunder Attribute Awakening Fruit he had just acquired from Pluto and tossed it to King of Sudden Death.

"Wah-kah?"

Staring at the blue fruit, King of Sudden Death's eyes lit up as it sensed an enticing aroma.

You should know, it was a die-hard carnivore.

There weren't many fruits that could pique its interest.

"Wah-kah!" King of Sudden Death thanked Lu Ran for the food and then, like a whirlwind, whirled around the Thunder Attribute Awakening Fruit at high speed.

In the blink of an eye, half of the fruit vanished.

It sped up again, and the fruit disappeared completely.

[I'm so full, I might burst from overeating.] After eating, King of Sudden Death sprawled on the floor like a contented couch potato.

However, in the next moment, its eyes bulged significantly.

Crackle and pop.

Blue-white electric currents suddenly burst from its body. The intensely awakening currents shocked King of Sudden Death, almost making it think it was about to explode.

"Don't be afraid." While observing its condition, Lu Ran took out his phone.

At this time, against the backdrop of the blue-white lightning, King of Sudden Death looked extraordinarily vivacious, like a mini giant dragon bathing in thunder and lightning, only if its expression weren't so panicked.

On the other hand, Lu Ran had already connected a call with Xiao Lan's superior, Zhao Chen.

"Lu Ran?" Zhao Chen's voice sounded a bit tired. He must have been very busy, but upon realizing the caller was Lu Ran, he chose to answer.

"Uncle Zhao, I just got back from Infinite City. What's the situation in different places now?"

"Oh, don't worry. Although wild animals are mutating and evolving everywhere, the degree of evolution varies. The wild animals near cities have not evolved as much as those in remote mountains and forests. The latter won't pose a threat to cities in the short term, and the former will be immediately controlled by local authorities."

"How's the situation in Green Sea City?"

"Green Sea City... It's probably the same as other cities."

"They've reported to the Jinling Beast Training Building that they've found four creatures with significant mutations. They may have special talents or encountered extraordinary opportunities; their power far exceeds other evolving creatures."

"The eruption of natural energy is unpredictable. Not only are animals evolving, but plants are too, turning into various resources, including some rare ones. Creatures that consume these resources, or those that bathe in more natural energy, have a significant initial boost in evolution. Compared to Pet Beasts, some may exceed level 10!"

"The ones I'm talking about are suspected to be over level 10."

"But rest assured, the armed forces of Green Sea City are actively monitoring those four evil beasts to prevent them from going berserk. Even with a significant evolution, they should still be no match for gunfire."

"Of course... dealing with some of the evil beasts in the bustling areas is, admittedly, more challenging."

"What kinds of evil beasts are they?" Lu Ran asked.

Zhao Chen replied, "Let me check... There's a stray cat that has evolved to the size of a tiger, leading a group of over a dozen other extraordinary stray cats. They've taken over a seafood market, which makes them hard to deal with, especially since there are still merchants inside, and the surrounding area is heavily trafficked."

"Within Qingwu Lake, someone suspects they saw a giant turtle; enormously large, yet it surfaced briefly before retreating into the lake."

"Above the city, the sky was covered by a passing crow swarm, with a raven at the lead suspected to have awakened the Dark Attribute, its size comparable to an eagle."

"And at Green Sea Red Leaf Park, someone spotted a giant cricket, about the size of a person, that devoured all the greenery on a path and even attacked other Beast Trainers' Pet Beasts before flying off into the mountains."

"These four are currently suspected to be the ones with the greatest extent of evolution in Green Sea City..."

"Wait, hold on!!" Lu Ran, after hearing Zhao Chen's explanation, wore an expression of bemusement. Damn, he felt like he knew each of these four formidable beasts.

"Uncle Zhao, Brother Chen, can you get in touch with Green Sea's authorities? Contact them as soon as possible and ask them to try their best to avoid conflicts with these creatures but also to stop them from harming people. I'm heading back to Green Sea right now, and I want to attempt to resolve the situation with these four mutant beasts properly."

"Green Sea probably doesn't have first, second, or third generation Beast Trainers, right? Relying on firearms could easily cause collateral damage, especially in the city."

"You???"

Lu Ran curled his lips and said, "Uncle Zhao, are you doubting me?"

If it were any other city, Lu Ran wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim, but this was Green Sea!

"Dare not!" Zhao Chen sweat.
