Chapter 150 - Identity Exposed (Part 2)

“It’s the Sword-Bearing Dog!”

“He’s Pedestrian A!!!”

“That has to be him!”

Xia’s fourth gens nodded in agreement. Who else would train a dog to wield a sword?

Seeing the excitement among Xia’s beastmasters, many beastmasters from other countries grew curious. However, when they learned that Pedestrian A was merely the top-ranked beastmaster on the Transcendent Heavenly Familiar Ranking, many spectators quickly lost interest.

Seriously? We thought it was someone impressive, but it’s just the top of the Transcendent Ranking? Didn’t we just watch a Snow Federation’s contender, ranked ninth on the Champion Rank Heavenly Familiar Ranking, get crushed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad?

After their initial excitement, even Xia’s fourth gens began to calm down. This Pedestrian A, despite being well-known among Xia’s fourth-gen beastmasters, still maintained a low profile. Even now, he was wrapped up tightly to conceal his identity.

While Pedestrian A had once been a prominent figure, the freshman competition and the dominance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad had redefined the limits of fourth-gen beastmasters.

Pedestrian A...

As they noticed the stark size difference between the Sword-Bearing Dog and the Tyrannosaurus, many couldn’t understand why Pedestrian A would appear here at this time.

“Whatever,” Ian said, waving a hand dismissively.

He didn’t care who his opponent was. For all he knew, this Xia beastmaster might just be another hopeful idiot trying to join the Eagle Federation. After all, the Eagle Federation had recruited many talents from Xia before.

“I’ll let you make the first move. Otherwise, you won’t even get the chance to move,” Ian said casually.

“Oh really? I’d advise you... to take this a bit more seriously,” Lu Ran said, provocatively.

“Huh?” Ian blinked, confused.

“If not... You’ll regret it.”

Lu Ran immediately gave a command, and Captain Doofus slightly tilted its head, casting a contemptuous look at the massive Tyrannosaurus.

“

RAWR!!!

”

Sensing the disdainful gaze from a mere dog, both Ian and the Tyrannosaurus instantly became furious.

“

RAWR!!!

”

The Tyrannosaurus’ eyes ignited with flames as it exhaled hot air and took a step forward. Ian instinctively laughed, not understanding how such a clown could exist. But in the next instant...

“Skyward Dragon Slash.”

As Lu Ran pronounced the skill name clearly in Xia’s national language, a hum filled the air, and many onlookers saw that the dog’s body suddenly erupted into a storm of compressed energy, causing a whirlwind-like effect around it!!!

Boom!

The ground shook as the dog stomped forward, sending dust flying and cracking the floor. With terrifying speed, it charged toward the Tyrannosaurus, sword in mouth, leaving only an afterimage behind.

“Trivial skill.” Ian, though shaken, dismissed it. The Tyrannosaurus tilted its head back, exhaled a fiery breath, and immediately counterattacked with a flaming dragon phantom. It was ready to devour the oncoming dog!

The Flaming Dragon, infused with Dragon Intent, had been invincible in previous battles, instantly obliterating any opponent that faced it, regardless of their species.

However, this time, the spectators watched as the dog moved with a speed so great that it seemed to transform into a horizontal whirlwind. Upon impact with the Flaming Dragon, the fiery dragon was immediately split in half and exploded into scattered embers!

It was utterly useless! Sizzling sounds soon filled the air as powerful sword intent shot through the void. The Dragon Intent created by the Tyrannosaurus, which had been designed to enhance its powers, now felt laughable. It was like a child challenging a beast.

The chilling waves of energy wafted out as the once fierce and dominant Tyrannosaurus’ momentum deflated. Its once confident aura now faltered as fear crept into its eyes.

When the Flaming Dragon was cleaved in two, the Tyrannosaurus saw an illusion of countless sword lights descending and causing the dinosaurs to go extinct again.

“

Rawr!!!

”

No one knew why the previously domineering Tyrannosaurus suddenly emitted a roar of fear, but in the next moment, a shocking sight had the thousands of onlookers almost rise to their feet!

After severing the Flaming Dragon, Captain Doofus instantly appeared in front of the Tyrannosaurus, moving at an absurdly fast speed. In that moment, time seemed to freeze... Then, with a loud boom, a massive slash mark exploded on the Tyrannosaurus’ incredibly strong defense.

Poof!

A shower of blood filled the air, carried away by the storm. Under the unmatched strength of the slash, the massive Tyrannosaurus’s body was nearly split in half and collapsed with a miserable cry.

As the storm subsided, the one responsible for it, the husky, calmly walked to the Tyrannosaurus’ rear while still holding the sword and stood quietly, waiting for the opponent to fall. At this moment, this bizarre and terrifying scene caused the arena to fall into a deathly silence.

The eyes of Ian of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad nearly exploded with disbelief. Even though he hadn’t followed Lu Ran’s advice and used his beastmaster skills seriously, seeing the Tyrannosaurus being obliterated in an instant left him thinking it was all a dream!

Perhaps due to the lingering effect of the Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent, Ian suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face filled with shock. It wasn’t until his teammates’ loud shouts filled the air that he woke up from his daze.

“Ian, what are you doing!!!”

Ian’s teammates shouted in terror. Even though Ian hadn’t used his beastmaster skills, the raw strength of the Tyrannosaurus should have been enough to crush any opponent.

Furthermore, their beastmaster skills, being only partially developed, didn’t add much to enhance the powerful Tyrannosauruses. They were primarily meant to help with the Tyrannosaurus’s contract.

Now, seeing Ian being instantly defeated, their shouts weren’t about questioning why Ian had been too careless, but about asking Ian who the guy who beat him was!

“Shit!!!”

“What’s going on!?”

The audience, silent at first, then heard a chorus of excited shouts from Xia Nation’s beastmasters. Xia’s beastmasters, who hadn’t understood why Pedestrian A was present saw his sword-wielding dog land a strike that nearly cleaved the Tyrannosaurus in half, instantly obliterating it.

They were even more confused. They understood why Pedestrian A was here, but what they didn’t understand was how he could be this strong!

“Who...who exactly are you!?”

At this moment, Ian, with bloodshot eyes, looked frantically at the person completely wrapped up in disguise. Is this person really a fourth-gen beastmaster? Could it be that a second or third-gen Xia beastmaster deliberately came to disrupt the fight?

No... That can’t be right. They had clearly limited the challenge rank to level one to twenty! Advanced beastmasters couldn’t even teleport onto the stage.

“Me?”

At this moment, Lu Ran, facing Ian’s sincere question, could only remove his mask and hat, revealing his familiar face to Ian.

“Sorry, I’m a somewhat well-known figure, so I had to dress like this to avoid being harassed on my way here. My name is Lu Ran, a freshman in the Forging Department at Beastmaster University, and my Limitless City ID is Pedestrian A.

“I’m the one who said this morning that I’d come by to challenge you guys. I’m not sure if you received the message, though. By the way, do you have anyone stronger in your squad?”

Lu Ran stretched his finger and scratched his ear, wondering why it was so noisy around here. Also, surely they wouldn’t stop here. Captain Doofus’ new abilities have only just been demonstrated!

Lu Ran was unaware that by revealing his identity, he had triggered a massive shockwave throughout the Public Limitless City!

Even the members of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad, including the captain, Rex, who had contracted the Low-King Tyrannosaurus, stood up in disbelief.

Lu Ran’s trump card... wasn’t the lizard!? What is this sword-wielding dog?

This was a source of shock for the foreign beastmasters. But for Xia beastmasters, the greater shock was that Pedestrian A was Lu Ran! This ground-breaking news spread at an incredible speed back to Xia!

...

In Xia, it took almost no time for the internet to explode. The breaking news from Public Limitless City, where the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad was engaged in battle, surged to the top of the trending charts with absolute dominance.

[Breaking News!!! Lu Ran Appears in Public Limitless City and Challenges the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad!]

[Lu Ran’s Familiar Instantly Defeats an Ancient Tyrannosaurus, but It’s Not the Lightning Flame Dragon Lizard! It’s a Sword-Bearing Dog!]

[Flame Spirit Successor Lu Ran! His Limitless City ID Exposed, Actually the Top Ranker Pedestrian A in Limitless City #3!”]

Such explosive news spread like wildfire, shocking every beastmaster in Xia. After all, most people thought that Lu Ran would challenge the Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad using his terrifying Lightning-Flame Dragon Lizard.

No one expected that Lu Ran was here under a completely different identity, as Pedestrian A, with his Sword-Bearing Dog!

Soon, it was noticed that Pedestrian A and the Sword-Bearing Dog’s information had vanished from the Limitless City #3 Heavenly Familiar Rankings, further confirming the authenticity of Lu Ran’s previous accomplishments...

What a joke! The power of that Lightning Flame Dragon Lizard was already terrifying enough, but Lu Ran himself was Pedestrian A? His Sword-Bearing Husky was strong enough to defeat a Tyrannosaurus in a single strike? Does that mean that both of his familiars are monster-level!?

This left many of the elite competitors in Sky City speechless. In the training rooms, Xia Ri, the inheritor of Scorching Fire School, was utterly stunned and finally understood why Lu Ran claimed to be from Rainbow Dojo.

Zhou Mo, Gong Kaixin, and others were left speechless, unable to believe that the same Lu Ran who had effortlessly defeated them had been fighting solo with a single familiar all along... and that his other familiar was even more terrifying.

Pluto couldn’t comprehend how the Sword-Bearing Dog, which had once been a Transcendent familiar, could instantly defeat a Superior-Champion Tyrannosaurus.

“Impressive!!!”

Only Fang Lan, Pig Farmer, and the others who knew Lu Ran couldn’t contain their excitement and repeated the news, thrilled. Of course, the fourth gens from Green Sea City were probably the most shocked.

Lu Ran... Pedestrian A...

Yang Xishuai and the others were left in a daze and now understood why the red-eyed crocodile skink had been kept for so long.

So, it was his second familiar. In Green Sea City, in addition to the Five Poisons Saintess, we had another hidden powerhouse?

While Lu Ran’s challenge wasn’t over yet, media from the Snow Federation, who had always been at odds with the Eagle Federation, found an opportunity to counter them. This quickly became a global sensation.

Someone from the media team of Snow Federation said, “I’ll call Lu Ran, or Pedestrian A, the strongest fourth-gen of Xia! The Tyrannosaurus Rex Squad is utterly useless!”
