Chapter 337 - The Strongest Across Generations!

Before the challenge started, Lu Ran was already prepared for the controversy that the sword kin would stir up. He didn’t expect that the event organizers would address it on their own initiative.

Lu Ran also correctly assumed that madman Jack wouldn’t back down so easily.

"How did Lu Ran do it?”

"The Twin Crows made sense since they split during evolution, but what's the situation here? Don’t tell me that the sword spirit and swordgrass split off from a husky!"

Although countless viewers were shocked by Captain Doofus’ new ability, the event committee had already declared that, regardless of the number of creatures, they were considered one entity as long as they came from one contract card.

Since the committee had already made a decision, the referee didn’t have anything to say against it.

"Forget species—they’re not even in the same kingdom of classification. Can they really be placed into one card? Did he print his own contract card at home? Maybe he really is Limitless City's illegitimate child."

"God Lu is awesome!"

"Three pets in one card. He’s so cool!"

"But what doesn’t make sense is that both of the other two creatures are only Kings. The Twin Crows were both Overlords."

Countless discussions not only sprang up around the world, but also right there in the arena.

Jack stared at Lu Ran with reddened eyes until he couldn’t resist anymore.

"Demonic Ape, crush them with one attack!"

It was as if he wanted to copy Lu Ran’s earlier tactic of winning with a single move.

“Roar!”

Having received its orders, the Demonic Ape let out a roar, unleashing a powerful killing intent.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, ripples appeared in the air as if dark water droplets were dripping onto the fabric of space. A huge black dome quickly engulfed the stage. It was a domain!

When the audience saw Jack use a finisher move like a domain right off the bat, they finally realized how serious he was.

Whether it was on Blue Planet or the Stellar Moon Continent, domains could easily determine the outcome of battles. They were considered top-tier skills and absolute trump cards.

The main aspect was that domain attacks couldn’t miss. If everything else was equal, only a domain could counter a domain.

The stronger domain determined the victor.

Everyone watched as the Demonic Ape’s domain enveloped Lu Ran’s familiars before they could make a move.

Although Lu Ran's husky also unleashed a domain in the evolution realm, it didn’t seem to be capable of using it in actual combat and ended up trapped in the enemy’s domain.

Many Xia beastmasters frowned as their hearts tightened.

The best time to counter a domain was before it fully formed. Once inside, the situation would become drastically more disadvantageous.

If Lu Ran had sent out Sudden Death King, then he might be able to tank the hit, but dogs weren’t known for their defensive ability.

"This is bad. It seems that Lu Ran's sword dog isn’t proficient enough in domains yet since it just learned about them."

"No, it's more accurate to say that the Demonic Ape's domain is too strong."

"The powerful Space barrier that forms the shell of the domain consists of 40 times condensed energy. I'm afraid not many people can confidently say that they can beat Jack besides the Ten Great Beastmaster Kings!"

Some first-generation beastmasters remained calm, as they had previously faced the ape’s domain personally.

"Hahaha! It’s over for that dog!"

The happiest person right then was obviously President Pari, who burst out laughing.

Lu Ran clearly didn’t recognize Jack’s power!

"Demon Realm Domain!"

Back on the stage, Jack's voice rang out.

He had a smug grin as he looked at Lu Ran once he saw that his familiar’s domain successfully took control of the stage.

"Inside the Demon Realm Domain..."

Regardless of whether Lu Ran had done his research, Jack intended to start his villain speech, explaining the horrors of his domain skill while Lu Ran helplessly watched as his familiar was tormented within.

However, before he could truly start, Lu Ran rudely cut him off.

"Are you seriously trying to cage a husky?"

Huh?

Many people didn't understand what Lu Ran was saying, but in the next moment, a beam of light suddenly pierced the black domain barrier.

Crack... crack... crack!

As cracking sounds echoed out across the venue, spiderweb fractures spread across the domain barrier.

Seeing the changes taking place, Jack was in disbelief. Nobody could understand what was happening.

Bang!

With a final push, a huge beam of sword energy sliced the barrier open. An explosion then completely tore apart the rest of the domain.

Even after piercing through the barrier, the sword energy was going strong. It continued to tear through the atmosphere before reaching into the depth of space.

With the domain gone, everything that it covered was once again revealed.

On the stage stood a giant dog that was possessed by a sword spirit and covered in a fluorescent ice-blue glow. It held a Space-attribute swordgrass in its mouth as it stared down at the Demonic Ape.

The ape, in contrast, appeared as if it were about to collapse. It was terrified by Captain Doofus’ current appearance.

The crowd held its breath as it watched the stage. All eyes were focused on Captain Doofus’ body.

Bolts of black lightning periodically leapt off its body. If one looked closely enough, the black flashes weren’t actually lightning, but rather were space fractures. Captain Doofus’ sword intent was so overpowered that it was constantly creating minor tears in space.

"That’s 60 times energy compression..."

Jack looked at the compressed sword intent surrounding Captain Doofus in astonishment.

It was ten times higher than what Sudden Death King achieved earlier—an unattainable peak.

It had relied on this high-density energy to utilize its Void Splitting Sword Intent and break out of the domain.

"Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!" President Pari yelled from the otherwise silent audience. He clenched the railings and refused to accept the reality before him.

The Dragon King has great defense that allows it to endure compressing energy fifty times, but this dog... it... it...

"Sixty times..."

The current record holder for energy compression from the Snow Federation had stood up after watching the scene on the broadcast.

While Sudden Death King’s fifty times compression couldn’t bother him, what Captain Doofus just accomplished certainly could.

A dog’s physique was obviously below that of a dragon’s. For it to reach sixty times compression, its control over energy must have reached a horrifying realm.

Thinking about it, it wasn’t necessarily beyond possibility. It had comprehended a domain at level 30 after all.

Everyone could only react to Captain Doofus cutting apart a domain with silence.

Blood seeped from between Captain Doofus' teeth and became either frozen by the Ice energy or absorbed by the swordgrass. Captain Doofus fiercely glared across the stage at its two opponents, sharply contrasted from its calm gaze at the beginning of the match.

The change wasn’t brought on by some pressure exerted by its enemies. Rather, it was because the pair in front of it had revealed killing intent against Lu Ran earlier.

This grudge couldn’t be resolved by simply tearing apart a domain.

“Awooo!”

"This..."

The audience was once again shocked when a spatial storm rose from the stage and shattered the protective barrier that shielded the audience. The spatial storm then quickly engulfed Jack and his Demonic Ape.

The sight horrified the audience.

The ring was instantly transformed into a giant pit in the ground in which only Lu Ran and Captain Doofus remained standing stoically.

Idiot.

Lu Ran smirked.

You should look down on the two kin just because of their rank. They’re not your average Kings.

The Kinship skill was improved by the Divine Deer. The sword intent bonus Captain Doofus received from its kin even surpassed that which was given by the Broken Horn of the Divine Deer!

"T-th-this..."

The referee's face had gone pale. He was super glad that he was outside the ring. Looking at the crater where the stage used to be, he couldn’t help but tremble.

"Jack... Where is Jack?"

Hearing the question, Lu Ran turned around and replied, "I don't know. Before our attack even landed, he had already fallen off the stage. Maybe he got lost in some space turbulence?"

In many people’s eyes, Captain Doofus hadn’t even gone all out yet. It still hadn’t unleashed its own domain. By only relying on conventional skills, it cut a hole in its opponent's domain.

Although Lu Ran was nonchalant, the audience was worried that Jack was in real danger. The blood drained from the faces of many beastmasters. No one could’ve predicted this outcome.

"What the fuck...?"

Forget about the international community—even the Xia’s Twelve Zodiacs couldn't help but curse as they watched the livestream.

"Is he even a human?"

First-generation beastmasters from around the world, and even the leader of the Ten Great Beastmaster Kings, sucked in a breath of cold air.

Jack definitely wasn’t weak, but he still got defeated in such a manner. Countless people couldn’t stop themselves from speechlessly gawking. They could make some unintelligible sounds at best.

The battle between the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster and the strongest second-generation beastmaster resulted in the veteran getting crushed by the newbie.

In fact, the fourth-generation beastmaster’s familiar actually showed skills beyond the capabilities of the ten kings and broke through a domain with a single sword strike.

This was an evolved husky? Was that meant to be a joke?

"Asshole!"

President Pari was about to lose his mind. His face was pale, and his heart was about to leap out of his chest. Dr. Hayden couldn’t make sense of the situation either.

Didn't President Pari invite him to come see Lu Ran lose face? Instead of Lu Ran losing face, he almost ended up with a heart attack. This was the great show the president promised him?

What a disaster!

He subconsciously took a step back as he realized that President Pari was finished. He wasted so much of the Eagle Federation’s resources and had nothing to show for it. He would definitely be silenced by the government.

"Well, if you don’t know where he is, then there’s not much that we can do. Y’all can go look for him on your own time. Next!"

Lu Ran's voice once again sounded and it almost made the Egyptian beastmaster that was supposed to be the fifth gatekeeper piss himself.

He was scared out of his mind.

People call him the strongest of the fourth generation? He’s obviously the strongest across

every

generation. Those two can kill people and not even leave a corpse. How is he even 18?
