Chapter 430 - The Divine Deer is Having a Baby! (Part 1)
A little later, Lu Ran and Shi Zhen bid farewell to Ghost Mother and returned to Blue Planet. Lu Ran rode on Baby Cloud while Shi Zhen summoned a giant rhinoceros beetle as a mount.
When the pair soon arrived at the teleportation array, Shi Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Lu Ran, did you get a lot of resources out of your most recent ascension realm? It's so hard to get from level 50 to 60. Many first-generation beastmasters couldn’t even make that much progress in a year. How did you do it immediately after coming out of the ascension realm? Don't tell me Ghost Mother helped you."
"No, it wasn’t Ghost Mother. How can I bother it about something so minor?" Lu Ran smiled. "My ascension realm this time was set in the Mechanical Era. Although it wasn’t at the peak of the era, I still managed to make a killing. Dark Crow leveled up using an Epic resource."
"Dang, you landed in the Mechanical Era? Now it makes more sense."
Shi Zhen was amazed. He quickly began to think about how, if people from the Xia could continue to explore ascension realms set in the Mechanical Era, then they could quickly bridge the technological gap between the Stellar Moon Federation and themselves. The Eagle Federation would no longer be able to maintain its technological superiority either.
"You shouldn't be entering another ascension realm any time soon, right?" Shi Zhen questioned.
"No, haste makes waste. Leveling up too fast without the skills to back it up will only create problems. I plan to gather some second-stage evolution materials and traits for a while. Once all my familiars have evolved, I will shoot for level 6.
"Didn't the old president, Lin Nian, and others say that the level 5 ascension realms are guaranteed to pit you against a Legendary force? The danger and difficulty of them are significantly higher than any ascension realm before them. I don’t want to spend my entire time there hiding in a corner. How can I do any proper exploration in that case?"
Shi Zhen's mouth twitched.
You don’t think your familiars are strong enough? I still can’t figure out that Dark Crow of yours. Does it utilize some sort of incantation? Wait, based on what he’s saying, to clear the level 5 ascension realm, I’ll need to beat a Legendary creature as a level 5 beastmaster?
"Whatever. Talking to you is just pissing me off." Principal Shi took out his phone to scroll around for a bit.
"Wimp," Lu Ran joked.
