Chapter 327 - The Old Man and the Dog
Lu Ran obviously couldn’t send Baby Cloud to battle in the ocean right now. Although it was fast, its level was still too low. But now that it had unlocked the Kunpeng form, leveling up quickly shouldn’t be an issue anymore.
As long as Lu Ran frequently took it to participate in 1v1 high-stakes ranked battles, it would catch up to Captain Doofus and the others in no time. Feeling satisfied, Lu Ran focused on training Baby Cloud to master its Kunpeng transformation.
The Kunpeng transformation consumed too much energy. At the moment, Baby Cloud could only maintain it for a few minutes, but it was not enough. It still needed more training.
Lu Ran planned to wait until it could sustain the transformation for ten minutes before taking it to fight powerful opponents and level up. For now, he returned to the Undead secret realm to nurture his weapon spirit while training the sword spirit and the swordgrass.
This training was especially important. If the sword spirit and the swordgrass could master the sword domain, they could attempt a triple fusion sword domain attack with Captain Doofus.
If Lu Ran mastered the sword domain himself, he could use reverse Super Beast Mimicry to train Sudden Death King and the others. That was why he trained so hard by investing heavily and even using precious resources.
Two days later, the Heavenly Familiar Ranking rewards arrived again, granting Lu Ran three more Treasure amplification cards. Any other beastmaster would have used these Treasure cards on their familiars to boost their strength.
However, Lu Ran was different. Just like last time, he invested all the cards in himself. He refined three more Treasure Soul Cleansing Fruits and ate them all. After two training sessions, Lu Ran had consumed a total of five Treasure comprehension-enhancing resources.
This was an enormous investment, but hard work paid off. With the combined buffs of sword spirit Fusion, Super Beast Mimicry, and Comprehension Boost, Lu Ran finally touched the threshold of a domain.
Damn, this is ridiculously hard!
Lu Ran admitted that he was struggling. According to Master Jiang Dou and the Divine Deer, he was supposed to be a genius in both swordsmanship and transcendent cultivation. Even so, he had burned through five Treasure Soul Cleansing Fruits just to reach this stage. For others, it would be even harder.
