Chapter 122 - Return (Part 1)
Limitless City, Pedestrian A’s personal room.
Even after being transferred back, Lu Ran’s thoughts lingered on the Ascension realm.
“Woof!”
Captain Doofus looked at Lu Ran in surprise, sensing his apparent regret in leaving the Ascension realm.
“Not at all.”
Lu Ran waved the battered Wind Slashing Sword in his hand and shook his head.
“It’s just that the Flame Dragon King was clearly giving us special treatment, and returning this early feels premature. If I could’ve stayed another half-month, my Flame Sword Intent would’ve been perfected.”
Lu Ran sighed regretfully. In the final two days, he had finally comprehended the Flame Sword Intent. Through the continuous absorption of the Flame Dragon’s aura using the Flame Spirit skill, Lu Ran had managed to grasp a new sword intent, akin to when he first understood the Blizzard Sword Intent.
Lu Ran felt that achieving this outcome would have been impossible without Emperor Flame Quake’s signature beastmaster skill and the Flame Dragon King’s generosity.
He was now convinced that Flame Spirit was a growth-type beastmaster skill. Similar to Super Beast Mimicry, which could emulate different contracted familiars to obtain varied feedback, Flame Spirit could absorb external fire elements to enhance itself.
However, the Flame Spirit in its initial stick figure state was too weak to absorb high-grade energy, which explained why Lu Ran failed to absorb the Flame Dragon’s aura at first. Fortunately, the Flame Dragon King, realizing Lu Ran’s capabilities, extended special treatment out of respect for the Divine Deer.
