Chapter 81 - 75: Xu Ran who doesn’t forget his original intention _2
It still remembered, the dark scale dragon once arrogantly said that it was worthy of using half of its strength.
That was also one of the motivations for its incessant training.
Now, it had already reached the Starlight Level in all skills, and through fusion, it had obtained two strong skills with a potential surpassing that of ordinary two stars skills, which compensated for the racial gap between it and the dark scale dragon.
It now had the capital to fight a full-scale battle with the dark scale dragon.
It was looking forward to that battle in two days’ time.
“Roar-”
Noticing Ziyun’s gaze, the dark scale dragon also turned its head and looked at Ziyun.
In their eyes, there was a burning desire for battle.
Sitting next to Gu Ling was Lyu Guang who had also returned to his seat after his treatment was completed for the combat bear apprentice.
Looking at Xu Ran, Lyu Guang’s expression was somewhat complicated.
Before this match, he and Xu Jiujiu were the two most famous young people in Qingzhou City.
Although he had never truly faced Xu Jiujiu in a fight, in the few exchanges they had, Lyu Guang could determine that Xu Jiujiu’s strength was not much different from his own.
The two of them, who should have been the strongest in the young generation of Qingzhou City, were both defeated in the semi-finals. It was ironic indeed…
The always-proud Lyu Guang had a somewhat desolate expression on his face at this moment.
Fortunately, his contract power was about to break through the second stage.
For a moment, the idea of breaking through as soon as possible after the match ended, became increasingly urgent in his heart.
After the two semi-final battles ended, the host returned to the stage.
Due to the quick conclusion of the match, in order for the audience to fully appreciate the charm of the battle, slow-motion replay and analysis were conducted for both matches separately.
Even if it’s not their first time watching the battle, revisiting it with the host’s detailed commentary, there were still a lot of audiences letting out cries of surprise and applause, cheering for the spectacular performance of the four players.
However, when the review of the second match came to the final moment, the advertisement slogan that Ziyun roared out with Thunder Roar appeared on the big screen, and the whole field fell into a weird atmosphere again.
Countless eyes were all looking at Xu Ran, who was seated at the player’s seat, with a peculiar look in their eyes.
This player is strong, but he loves to advertise?
Facing these peculiar gazes, Xu Ran appeared quite calm.
What are you looking at? Don’t you understand the meaning of staying true to initial aspirations?
After the replay, the host announced the order of the finals in two days, marking the end of the semi-finals.
In the finals in two days, Xu Jiujiu and Lyu Guang from the losers’ group will compete first. The winner between these two will rank third and the loser ranks fourth.
Following closely behind will be Xu Ran and Gu Ling from the winners’ group. The two will compete for the championship of this New Beast Master Challenge Match.
The winner will be given money, resources, and the most important championship reward by the Beast Master Association – a Beast Egg that can be freely chosen from the Rare Beast Egg Repository!
After leaving the arena, Xu Ran carried Ziyun back to his foster shop quickly.
Since there were no other players following him this time, he came to the fostering area as soon as possible to feed the thirteen residents in the fostering area, and then opened the shop for business.
Looking at the customers who came in one after another as soon as the door was opened, a smile appeared on Xu Ran’s face.
As expected from the semi-finals, the effect of the advertisement is immediate.
“Young boss, I’m here again!”
Liu Gu entered the shop cheerfully, waved to Xu Ran, “I wasn’t able to watch your quarterfinals live, but I watched the live stream online.”
“You were amazing!” He chuckled, “Seeing you and your little cat dominating the field, my dog barked excitedly all night, and almost got complained about.”
“Woof!”
The Wind Lion Dog roared loudly, looking at Xu Ran excitedly.
“Thank you, Uncle Liu.” Xu Ran smiled, looking at the Wind Lion Dog, which was dirtier than usual and still had healed scars on its body, and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Was this excursion out of town a tough fight?”
“Yes.” Liu Gu nodded, “This time, our captain got a clue to a special resource point. If we can clear the transcendent beings entrenched there, and collect all the resources there, our team can make a fortune overnight!”
“So you guys succeeded?” Xu Ran asked with interest.
“We did succeed, but not completely.” Liu Gu scratched his head, “After the actual investigation, we realized that we didn’t have enough strength to seize all of it, so we returned to the city to gather other teams to go together.”
“In the end, we cleared some of the entrenched transcendent beings and gained quite a bit of resources, but divided among the teams, the reward is just average.”
“I see, no wonder the Armored Rhinoceros has been summoned so many times these days.” Xu Ran nodded slightly, “It’s dangerous outside the city, being able to return safely with rewards is a great accomplishment in itself.”
“That’s true.” Liu Gu chuckled, “I set off right after the quarterfinals ended and only returned now. As soon as I entered the city, I heard that you won the semi-finals, young boss. If you win one more round, you’ll become the champion, congratulations!”
“The opponent is very strong. Whether I can win is still unknown.” Xu Ran modestly replied.
“So, calculating the time, is the contest tomorrow?” Liu Gu counted on his fingers, then asked.
“Yes.” Xu Ran nodded slightly, “Tomorrow is the final.”
“Then I have a chance to go watch it live!” Liu Gu laughed, “Okay, the dog can’t hold it in anymore, sorry for the trouble, give it a wash and grooming.”
“Sure thing.” Xu Ran lightly patted Ziyun’s head, gesturing for it to help watch the shop, and then took the Wind Lion Dog into the grooming room.
This bath must be well taken, because he would be taking advantage of Lucky Liu’s aura for ten consecutive draws later.
And it’s four times.

Two days have passed since the semi-finals ended.
In just two days, due to Xu Ran’s persistent advertising during the semi-finals, the Foster Shop’s business has surged again.
The number of foster care residents has increased from thirteen to sixteen.
Of course, there are not many long-term residents like the Armored Rhinoceros, many are short-term residents who foster for a day or two due to various reasons, and turnover is quite frequent.
In addition, the number of Beast Masters who have come for grooming over the last two days has also increased, with a total of eighteen grooming sessions, pushing Xu Ran’s pleasure value over the forty thousand mark, and he can perform four ten consecutive draws.
Tomorrow is the day of the finals, so Lucky Liu came just at the right time.
After a while, Xu Ran came out of the grooming room with the Wind Lion Dog, whose eyes were hazed with satisfaction.
Perhaps because it was too dirty, the Pleasure Value provided by the Wind Lion Dog this time was unprecedentedly high, exceeding two thousand points, pushing Xu Ran’s Pleasure Value directly to forty-three thousand.
“Take care!” As usual, he patted Lucky Liu on the shoulder as if nothing happened, and watched him leave with a smile on his face.
No purple, but plenty of blue.
Eight blue rewards made his smile more intense.
He closed the shop door casually and began to check carefully.
Among the eight blue rewards, seven were skill fusion stones.
Xu Ran had realized that the system’s lottery system had a certain mysterious aspect, most of the things he drew were what he needed,
Except for the second Awakening Stone he drew early on, but it was never useful.
Skill fusion stones are exactly what he needs right now, and he can’t have too many of these; he could use them whenever he came across suitable skills.
The remaining blue reward was…
Xu Ran looked at the item named “Insight Mirror” that looked like ordinary glasses, with a puzzled expression on his face.
Something new?
Let’s see.
[The Insight Mirror is a special item produced by the system, and when worn it allows the user to gain some unperceivable information within five minutes]
Xu Ran slowly typed out a question mark.
It sounds rather ambiguous.
Oh well, hold on to it for now.
He continued to look at the green rewards.
Twelve green rewards, all Energy Abundant Potions, which caused Xu Ran’s mouth to twitch slightly.
Ziyun had been using the Energy Abundant Potion to continue its training for the past few days, preparing for the final battle against the Dark Scale Dragon. Now there was only one bottle of Energy Abundant Potion left, and it was just about to be replenished.
But… are there no other green rewards?
Can you bring something fresh, please!
