The King of Beast Trainers

105  Chapter 78: The First Evolution (Thanks to the "Nuan Yang 1314" for joining the Silver League!)_1

Two hours later, having eaten his fill, Mr. Husky took a brief rest in the Contract Card and quickly recovered his energy.

By this time, Lu Ran had already gone to the Teleport Plaza in search of Doctor Gu.

Gu Qingyi: "I'm at the third stone pillar."

The Teleport Plaza had several large stone pillars, and although Lu Ran arrived at the designated location, he still could not find Gu Qingyi.

Not until a hand landed on Lu Ran's shoulder did he suddenly turn around.

"Doctor Gu?" Lu Ran looked at the figure who had approached him without making a sound, first catching the scent of a light fragrance, and then seeing the delicate features under Gu Qingyi's golden brown hair.

"Have you been here the whole time? I couldn't find you just now," Lu Ran expressed his confusion, as he had been very thorough in his search...

"I'm wearing a piece of equipment that reduces one's presence. As long as I don't engage in conversation or become the center of attention, I can reduce my presence to the minimum," Gu Qingyi said with a smile.

Lu Ran was about to ask what kind of equipment it was and whether he could get one too, but considering his increasing debts, he decided against it and resolved to buy it later when he had the money.

"Are you ready? Let's go then," Gu Qingyi said as she looked toward one of the many teleportation gates. "I'll take you to 'Tranquil Island.' It's a Public Secret Realm with no level restrictions. The creatures inside are generally between level 20 and 40..."

"Okay," Lu Ran nodded.

Shortly after a round of teleportation, the two arrived inside the Secret Realm of Tranquil Island. Upon entering, Gu Qingyi led the way and said, "This Secret Realm is much like the Qianyan Mountain Range. Since there are no rare resources inside, there aren't many people who come here. But after a while, this place should be packed with people."

"After all, since there are no level restrictions, there should be many high-level Beast Trainers bringing along low-level Beast Trainers to practice their combat skills. The creatures of Tranquil Island Secret Realm are typically full of fighting spirit, but so poor that even Beast Trainers despise them," Gu Qingyi said with a laugh.

Lu Ran's mouth twitched. Even the Beast Trainers really disdain the poverty of the beasts.

The teleportation spot where the two entered seemed to be at the edge of the island. Heading inward, the area was covered with forests; looking outward, there was the vast and endless sea.

On the beach, Gu Qingyi pondered and said, "Let's do the Fusion Traits right here."

Without a second word, Lu Ran took out the Black Card and summoned Mr. Husky.

Within the array diagram, Mr. Husky emerged with an air of dominance.

"The training is getting better and better," Gu Qingyi commented as she looked at Husky, who was over two meters long and had a sleek body shape with muscular limbs full of strength.

Coupled with the thick, black and white intermingled fur, as well as the deep icy blue eyes, Husky looked dashing from any angle.

Lu Ran knew how to choose Pet Beasts. His first choice was Husky, attractive enough to compete in beauty within the canine community, and his second choice was the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard, the most striking in the lizard world. He was indeed a fan of good looks.

"Snap." Lu Ran snapped his fingers, and Mr. Husky dropped the act, stuck out his tongue, gave a smile, and restored his clear gaze to greet and speak to Gu Qingyi.

"Woof woof."

Gu Qingyi returned the greeting with a smile and then turned to Lu Ran, "The 'Signature Weapon' that has fused with its teeth should be ready, right?"

It was precisely because of Lu Ran's curious and unconventional training methods, and the fact that it had been a long time since anyone used the Weapon Control Trait for Pet Beast training, that Gu Qingyi, the Evolutionary Studies Doctor, took notice and wanted to witness the evolution outcome herself.

"It's all ready," Lu Ran held out his hand, and in the next moment, the Icy Sky Great Sword appeared in his grasp.

After taking it out, he tossed it lightly, and Mr. Husky immediately clutched onto it. Subsequently, the Icy Sky Great Sword returned to its original appearance, transforming into an unmatched Great Sword, emanating an intense aura of cold wind!

A massive dog with a massive sword.

The icy blue light of the sword made Mr. Husky appear even more domineering.

"This..." Gu Qingyi was taken aback by the exaggerated Great Sword. "Whom did you have forge this weapon?"

"Smithy, Master Lin."

"Oh, him," Gu Qingyi nodded.

"The attack power of this sword should have reached the first tier of rare weapons. However, it looks like it has certain side effects, such as draining its stamina to maintain this form, right?"

"Yes," Lu Ran said. "Then Doctor Gu, I'll start the Fusion process now, or else it will waste too much energy."

"Okay," Gu Qingyi nodded, observing Mr. Husky closely and with great seriousness.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran took out a Trait Crystal the size of his palm.

The way to use a Trait Crystal wasn't to have the Pet Beast eat it, but to lightly place it on the Pet Beast's body. If it met the Fusion conditions, the body would absorb it on its own.

Lu Ran stepped forward and brought the Trait Crystal close to Mr. Husky, who, despite appearing calm on the surface, was as nervous inside as Lu Ran.

"Don't resist the crystal's Fusion, okay?" Gu Qingyi advised from the side.

At that moment, with the Trait Crystal nearing Mr. Husky, the Weapon Control Crystal already started to emanate a light blue glow. Enveloped in the glow, it magically fused into Mr. Husky's back and entered his body.

Holding the sword, Mr. Husky glanced back, feeling no change...

But the next instant, his expression suddenly turned ferocious!!

"Howl!!!" A powerful aura began to spread from him, and the Power of Wind inside him involuntarily burst forth. Seeing this, Gu Qingyi stepped forward to pull Lu Ran back, maintaining a distance between him and Mr. Husky, while she continued to watch with utmost seriousness.

Could this Husky successfully integrate the Weapon Control Trait?

Could it awaken... a Racial Talent?!

Gu Qingyi hoped eagerly in her heart.

Although Pet Beasts always gain some enhancement from Fusion Traits, regardless of compatibility,

The most perfect scenario is undoubtedly when a Pet Beast fuses with a Trait and, combining its own strength with the power of the Trait, awakens a Racial Talent!

Such a Racial Talent, also referred to as a Racial Skill, is extremely powerful and can cause a significant increase in a Pet Beast's combat abilities!

Indeed, a Fusion Traits process that doesn't awaken a Racial Talent is not perfect and would affect the Pet Beast's evolution at level 30.

Racial Talent... This was an advantage not possessed by newly awakened attributes. Gu Qingyi had done some research and found out that Lu Ran's senior brother, Senior Brother Divine Sculpture Hero's Pet Beast, did not awaken a Racial Talent after fusing the Weapon Control Trait. Similarly, other Pet Beasts abroad that had fused this trait also failed to awaken any talents.

So, after so long, another young Beast Trainer and his Pet Beast chose this trait. Could they succeed?

Under Gu Qingyi's expectant gaze, suddenly, a swirl of white and blue light engulfed Mr. Husky's massive body as well as the Icy Sky Great Sword clenched in its jaws. Wrapped in the light, Mr. Husky and the sword seemed to become one entity.

Boom!

With a low rumble from Mr. Husky under the brilliance, a more chaotic airstream suddenly erupted from its body, swirling up the surrounding sand as if it were enveloped in a sandstorm tornado, with a wild aura that shook heaven and earth.

"How's it going?" Lu Ran asked anxiously.

"From the looks of it, it's moving in a good direction. Its racial potential is being unearthed and is upgrading." Gu Qingyi said.

This scene was often observed during the evolution process when a Pet Beast's Species Level would rise, causing a degree of turmoil in the Attribute Power within the beast's body. However, the following change, even for an Evolutionary Science Doctor like Gu Qingyi, was enough to make her widen her beautiful eyes in shock.

Apart from the Power of Wind, a force of frost, the Power of Frost, suddenly bloomed from within Mr. Husky, instantly freezing every grain of sand into snowflakes and sweeping them into the tiny tornado.

"How is this possible?" Gu Qingyi said, puzzled. "Even if its Power of Wind has been enhanced by the Seed of Cold Wind, this level... It's almost as if it's awoken the Power of Frost... unless..."

Before she could finish her sentence, an even more shocking scene unfolded. Accompanied by a skyward howl, the raging storm emanated the sound of swords humming, and the blizzard wrapping Mr. Husky began to shape itself, transforming into swords of ice and snow, hovering in the air, revolving around Mr. Husky engulfed in light.

Seeing those swords of ice and snow, Lu Ran had a feeling, as if he was instantly dragged back to Blizzard Mountain. However, the Blizzard Mountain in front of him no longer resembled a mountain - it was clearly a towering giant Sword Peak that reached into the clouds.

"It's Ideological Shaping! It has upgraded its Sword Momentum to Sword Intent! Only Ideological Shaping can allow a Pet Beast's attack to carry additional Attribute Powers!" At this moment, Gu Qingyi's excited voice rang out. This Husky had actually understood such a difficult technique like Ideological Shaping at level 10!!

What a strong perception! Was it because of the Weapon Control Trait?

"Is it the Blizzard Sword Intent?!" Lu Ran also exclaimed, snapping out of the illusion. He looked at the incredibly fantastical scene before him, eyes wide with shock.

Could this be the Sword Intent the master talked about?

Doggo had actually comprehended it at this moment!

This evolution seemed to have brought unimaginable benefits.

Could it be... successful?

At that moment.

The cold wind passed, and the light dissipated. Countless swords of ice and snow landed, freezing a section of the sand. At this moment, Mr. Husky, as if standing in a tomb of ice and snow swords, clenched the Icy Sky Great Sword in its mouth, its gaze sharp, having completely finished its evolution.

Since it was only a minor evolution from the fusion of traits, Mr. Husky's appearance had not changed drastically. The only difference was the three white streaks on its forehead, resembling three flaming flames, were now more restrained, like three sword marks, making its entire face incredibly domineering.

"Awrooo!!!!" Mr. Husky, holding the Icy Sky Great Sword in its mouth, turned to look at Lu Ran and Gu Qingyi, looking very pleased with itself, even revealing a smile. It felt completely one with the Icy Sky Great Sword! A terrifying power was hidden inside its body. If it encountered that Devil Cow again, a single ordinary burst of Sword Qi would be enough to wound the opponent! See, it had always said, Mr. Husky's dictionary has no word for failure!

Gu Qingyi's gaze sizzled as she looked at Mr. Husky. Her Data Eye was of a higher Level than Lu Ran's and could see the Levels of other people's Pet Beasts.

Species: Sword-Bearing Dog

Attribute: Wind

Species Level: High-Level Extraordinary

Growth Level: Level 10

But upon seeing this, Gu Qingyi frowned slightly. The commotion just now was not something a High-Level Extraordinary Species should be able to exhibit. She looked at Lu Ran but saw that he was extremely excited at the time.

"Did it succeed? Did it awaken a Racial Talent?!" Gu Qingyi quickly asked.

"Ah, of course." Lu Ran spoke enthusiastically.

He took out his Contract Card, which displayed the following information:

Species: Sword-Bearing Dog

Attribute: Wind

Species Level: High-Level Extraordinary (Mid-Level Leader)

Growth Level: Level 10 n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Racial Talent: King of Swords (When this Pet Beast wields a sword-type Weapon, depending on the sword's quality, its own attack power increases, defensive power increases, speed increases, vitality increases, spiritual power increases, resistance increases, energy increases... gaining a temporary new Species Level!)

"Racial Talent, King of Swords!" Lu Ran said joyfully.

"Its Racial Talent allows it to hugely increase its Species Level while holding a sword. Don't look at it as just a High-Level Extraordinary Species now, but with the Icy Sky Great Sword in its mouth, its racial attributes are on par with those of a Mid-Level Leader Species!!"

"This Talent is so powerful!"

"If we give it a World's Rare level sword, or an epic Sword, or a Legendary Sword, won't its racial attributes be comparable to the young of a Monarch Species… or even the young of the Overlord Clan?!"

Lu Ran spoke and couldn't help but throw himself at Mr. Husky. He knew Mr. Husky wouldn't let him down.

After days of tension, Lu Ran finally let go of a burden. The first step was, after all, a success.

At this time, hearing about the "King of Swords" Racial Talent from Lu Ran, Gu Qingyi was also stunned and incredulous. No way, how could there be such an overpowered racial skill... that could temporarily increase its own Species Level with a Weapon?

Seeing Mr. Husky fearfully embraced and fervently kissed by Lu Ran, Gu Qingyi fell into contemplation.
