The King of Beast Trainers

183  Chapter 117 Beast Training University_2

Otherwise, Fang Lan now dares to challenge Lu Ran to a duel.

"Alright, alright, alright." Lu Ran sneered, intending to let Fang Lan feel smug for a while.

After all, if he revealed that the major families of the whole province were eagerly offering resources to invest in him, and even an 86 Level Overlord giant dragon was giving him special attention, Fang Lan would probably go hang himself.

Comparing oneself to others can indeed be infuriating.

"Ah~ In any case, the Breakthrough Secret Realm is so interesting," Fang Lan said. "It's a pity that the entry requirements are so strict. The next entry will not happen until the Pet Beast reaches Level 20..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Indeed." As soon as Lu Ran heard this, he laughed. Coincidentally, King of Sudden Death was now Level 20. However, in the short term, Lu Ran certainly would not enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm again.

Let's not talk about whether he could match up with someone; he might have to queue for a long time. Entering the Breakthrough Secret Realm consecutively, Lu Ran felt that he himself couldn't handle it either. It would be better to first cultivate Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death to the current level stage's ultimate potential.

Next up, Mr. Husky's improvement direction is to level up, waiting for Fusion Traits.

As for King of Sudden Death, its improvement direction is to learn a bit more skills. Relying solely on Thunder Armor and Lightning Shield, it can hardly fight back against any opponent with a bit of combat experience, just like when it fought Mr. Husky; it was being toyed with the whole time. It definitely needs long-range attacking means.

"You should call your godfather and godmother over. I'll go cook later, there's no need to prepare ingredients; I still have some in my backpack," Lu Ran said.

Since cooking with Cooking Intent was not troublesome at all, Lu Ran was not in a hurry to prepare in advance. Idling, he leaned on the sofa, turned on the TV, and began to enjoy a rare moment of leisure.

At this moment, the TV was broadcasting news about Beast Training University.

"After a week-long recruitment period, the number of Beast Trainers who have applied for Beast Training University has already exceeded 100,000."

"Among them, the Combat Department has the largest number of applicants, accounting for 60%..."

Beast Training University offers several departments including the Combat Department, Cultivation Department, Medical Department, History Department, Forging Department, Research Department, and others.

Each department is further divided into different specializations.

For instance, the Cultivation Department is divided into Nutrition, Culinary Arts, Plant Cultivation, Breeding, and more. Every student has to choose a major department first and then select one specialization within the minor categories.

Lu Ran and Fang Lan, because they were challenging the Breakthrough Secret Realm during this period, had asked Zhao Chen to contact Little White Dragon to help them sign up in advance.

Fang Lan chose the specialty of Toxicology, a branch of the Medical Department.

And Lu Ran chose the specialty of Weapon Forging, a branch of the Forging Department.

Of course, these are only preliminary choices. If the students are exceptionally outstanding and quickly complete their studies, taking elective courses in other specializations is no problem at all.

The school naturally will not limit the diversified development of students.

Though the dishes Lu Ran currently makes are quite delicious, they benefit from the advantage of Cooking Intent.

Usually, it's just a very simple ingredient, plus a bit of seasoning, and then infusing it with Cooking Intent—it's all that Lu Ran does.

But truly skilled chefs, like Yan Sizhen, can even use more than ten kinds of ingredients in combination, more perfectly enhancing the nutrition and flavor of the food. The intricacies of this are nutrition science, which Lu Ran has obviously never studied.

Forging is the same principle. To forge high-quality weapons, one can't rely solely on the special nature of flame. The reactions between combinations of different extraordinary minerals, the methods of smelting different minerals, and the adaptability of different minerals to different races—all have to be learned from scratch.

Lu Ran had realized that to properly cultivate Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death, he might have to go through a learning phase more painful than senior year of high school. Originally, jumping from sophomore year directly to university, Lu Ran thought he was pretty lucky, but now it seems that he has to make up for what he owes.

However, compared to these fancy specialties, as Lu Ran expected, the most people still chose the Combat Department.

The daily routine of the Combat Department, Lu Ran guessed, must be daily special training, either exercising the Beast Trainers and their Pet Beasts' physical fitness or using various methods to help Pet Beasts develop skills...

Of course, this doesn't mean that students who opt for the Combat Department don't need to learn anything else. Basic knowledge like the history of the Beast Training Empire and fundamentals of nutrition science—everyone probably has to learn them. It's just that the focus and depth of learning will be different.

"They'll be here soon."

After watching TV for a while, Fang Lan came out of the room. Her gaze also turned to the TV as she said, "Speaking of which, the freshmen competition starts in two days, right?"

"Yeah, but it's only the preliminaries," Lu Ran nodded. "We'll still have to go through the motions in Jinling."

The school had anticipated that a large number of people would participate in this competition, so they planned to eliminate a lot of the average competitors during the preliminary round.

When the time comes, the school will set up examination venues in each province and will use an interview-type assessment to screen out those who qualify for the main competition.

Lu Ran heard that the general process seemed to be inviting a third-generation Beast Trainer who would soon take up a position within the Beast Training University as the examiner to test the strength of the candidates' Pet Beasts with their own Pet Beasts.

The Pet Beasts of the third-generation Beast Trainers are all over Level 30, and they have more than one; testing the strength of a fourth-generation Beast Trainer's Pet Beast naturally wouldn't be stressful. Checking dozens or even hundreds without much effort should be feasible.

Therefore, the preliminaries will proceed very quickly.

At that time, the examiner will grant the candidates a comprehensive score, and based on this preliminary score, a batch of candidates will be selected to directly enter the main competition.
