Chapter 59 - A Strange Secret Realm
Although Lu Ran accepted Pluto’s challenge, he didn’t plan to fight immediately. Since the battle would involve a valuable Attribute-Awakening Fruit, it had to be approached carefully.
While Captain Doofus was ranked higher than Pluto’s familiar on the Heavenly Familiar Ranking, Pluto’s familiar had already reached level 10 and had fused a trait. More importantly, it had the advantage of flight.
Lu Ran also wasn’t sure what kind of beastmaster skills or beastmaster gear Pluto had. Facing him now could easily result in failure. At the very least, he had to wait until Captain Doofus reached level 10 and thoroughly farm the two secret realms before he could consider making his move.
“I’ll wait for you,” Pluto said before leaving his ID number behind.
Lu Ran remained calm as he watched Pluto leave. He fully intended to claim victory when the time was right.
“I’ll be heading out as well, Master Lin,” he said afterward.
Master Lin nodded. “Mm.”
Before Lu Ran could leave, though, he offered a reminder. “There’s a big difference between a familiar with a fused trait and one without. Once a trait is fused, a familiar’s species talent is awakened, which widens the gap even further”
Master Lin was right. While accepting the challenge was fine, Lu Ran shouldn’t expect to overcome the level gap too easily.
Lu Ran nodded. “Understood.”
He wasn’t too worried, though. Captain Doofus was at the top of the Heavenly Familiar Ranking because its skill mastery far surpassed other familiars.
