Chapter 75 - Insect King’s Revenge (Part 1)
The one who benefited the most from Lu Ran’s control over Green Sea’s wild resources, apart from himself, was undoubtedly Fang Lan. Among the first, second, and third-generation beastmasters, those specializing in Poison-attribute familiars required a significant amount of resources to hone their craft.
A true Poison-attribute master needed extensive experience with various poisonous plants and animals; only by thoroughly understanding and interacting with them could one truly claim mastery of the Poison attribute.
***
Now that the entire Poison-attribute ecosystem of Green Sea was accessible to Fang Lan, combined with the Poison-attribute courses provided by Gu Qingyi and her own extraordinary intellect, Lu Ran could already sense the rise of a formidable beastmaster.
Even without fully immersing herself, she had already crafted a poison capable of countering the Minotaur Boss. With more practice and study, she was poised to become one of the deadliest among the fourth-generation beastmasters.
The Heavenly Familiar Ranking didn’t accurately reflect her true strength. After all, she had to hold back in arena battles, as killing opponents with poison would cause significant backlash. Furthermore, the true essence of the Poison attribute lay in intelligence gathering, crafting targeted poisons, and executing assassinations.

Lu Ran and Fang Lan walked side by side through Red Leaf Park, heading toward the back hills where a highly venomous centipede resided. Their presence drew quite a few stares, and the reason was simple: Fang Lan was a well-known figure in Green Sea City.
As the Five Poisons Saintess from Limitless City #3, she was famous far and wide. Her striking purple hair was her signature trait, instantly recognizable to anyone. Unlike Lu Ran, who preferred to stay under the radar, Fang Lan frequently participated in arena battles, further cementing her fame.
Her beauty, paired with the stark contrast of her Poison-attribute familiar, only added to her popularity.
There was yet another reason for the attention. Over the past week, Fang Lan had been highly active, often stepping in to resolve incidents involving mutated beasts. As a result, many in the city now recognized her.
