The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 43 - 37 King of Sudden Death_1

```

Lu Ran looked kindly at the King of Sudden Death.

Although his plan was to try every familiar animal in Green Sea City... to choose his second pet, he couldn't resist the fact that there were too few Awakening Leaves at the moment.

The appearance of the King of Sudden Death reminded Lu Ran that, aside from Mr. Husky, didn't he have another pet?

He had even discussed with Fang Lan before if a lizard could evolve into a giant dragon... Now, it was time to see if the King of Sudden Death had the potential for extraordinary evolution.

Of course, Lu Ran didn't have high hopes.

After all, it was one in a hundred for an animal to awaken extraordinary powers with just an Awakening Leaf, without relying on a Beast Trainer contract.

This King of Sudden Death... no matter how he looked, didn't seem to have the makings of a strong creature.

His feeling was right. After he invited the King of Sudden Death, its eyes widened.

Then its body slowly fell over, seemingly biting the dust...

[That thing looks so unappetizing, I want to eat bugs, not grass, dead!]

Lu Ran: ?

Lu Ran looked at the lizard lying on top of the television, showing no signs of life, and took a deep breath.

"Get up, or I'll bury you."

The King of Sudden Death was alarmed: !!!

Upon hearing that, he immediately got up.

Speaking of this King of Sudden Death, Lu Ran sighed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was actually its third owner.

Initially, the King of Sudden Death was a pet raised by one of Fang Lan's girlfriends.

However, creatures like the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard are incredibly fragile and highly sensitive to their environment.

If their habitat changed slightly or didn't meet their living requirements, they would feel uncomfortable and could even die on the spot.

Due to the improper care by Fang Lan's girlfriend, the King of Sudden Death almost really died suddenly, and not just playing dead.

It was also thanks to Fang Lan, who came from a medical family and was involved in a wide range of fields, that she was able, with her girlfriend's plea for help, to save this King of Sudden Death from brink of death.

In the end, knowing she couldn't keep the King of Sudden Death alive, Fang Lan's girlfriend gave it to Fang Lan to take care of.

However, even though Fang Lan had experience raising lizards, they were all easy to keep alive, and it was her first time raising a Red-eyed Eagle Lizard. She was also troubled by this creature that loved to drop dead at any moment and wasn't sure if she could successfully raise it.

Lu Ran saw her distress and took the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard from her under the pretext of asking for a birthday present.

Although he had no experience raising Red-eyed Eagle Lizards either, he could hear the creature's inner voice and knew its environmental needs, which greatly increased its chances of survival.

Indeed, it was the case. Lu Ran took great care of it and even custom-made a huge artificial habitat for it.

One could say that if it weren't for the King of Sudden Death's stroke of luck, getting more reliable owners one after another, it might not have lived to this day.

"Waka." The King of Sudden Death nervously played possum, fearing that Lu Ran might really bury it.

"Feed me."

Lu Ran extended his left palm, and the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard hesitated for a moment before climbing onto it.

Following that, Lu Ran extended his right hand holding an Awakening Leaf, pushing it to the King of Sudden Death's mouth.

The Awakening Leaf was a good thing, after all, a top-grade resource of the extraordinary. Even if the King of Sudden Death lacked the potential and didn't awaken, its vitality would become stronger, better adapting it to the external environment.

Then Lu Ran would not have to worry about it actually dying suddenly.

"Waka..." The King of Sudden Death reluctantly nibbled on the Awakening Leaf.

Lu Ran shook his head. Unlike Mr. Husky, which would eat both meat and vegetables, this little guy was a pure carnivore.

Every time Lu Ran brought back crickets, Unihorn Immortals, and other fighting insects for training, the creature would secretly observe.

Once, it even tried to steal a bite but ended up being pummeled by the Insect King Unihorn Immortal and became even more timid.

In just a moment, the King of Sudden Death finished the entire Awakening Leaf.

After eating, it seemed to have no change.

Lu Ran held it in his hand and played with it for several minutes, still no change.

Seeing this, he locked eyes with the red eyes of the King of Sudden Death... and then sighed.

"It seems you're not that fortunate."

"Go on now, don't stray too far from your habitat, or you'll feel unwell."

Lu Ran placed it on the ground, gesturing for it to crawl back on its own.

As for Lu Ran himself, he took out his phone again, ready to call Fang Lan to make plans for a meal.

"Waka..."

```

However, upon being set down, the King of Sudden Death didn't leave. Instead, it kept looking up at Lu Ran.

With a cry from the King of Sudden Death, suddenly, a brownish glow flickered on its body.

"Huh?" The change immediately caught Lu Ran's attention.

Looking at it, Lu Ran was directly dumbfounded. Could it really evolve?

A one percent chance, and he actually encountered it!

"Awesome!" Lu Ran put down his phone again.

His mood instantly became wonderful.

He felt that his long practice of rearing pigs for dual training hadn't been a waste of time.

However, as the brownish light enveloped the King of Sudden Death, under this glow… huh? It didn't get any bigger?

Although it wasn't a universal rule that ordinary animals would get larger when evolving to an extraordinary state, most of them would grow in size.

The light continued to envelop it, yet there was still no trend of growing bigger.

Seeing this, Lu Ran contemplated. Could it be that its aptitude wasn't high enough?

No, that's not right! Gradually, Lu Ran realized something was off.

"Damn it, it's bad enough not becoming large and ferocious, but why the heck is it getting smaller!"

In just a short moment, Lu Ran watched in shock as its body length shortened in the blink of an eye, becoming even smaller.

"What's going on…"

However, though the King of Sudden Death's body shrank, Lu Ran's expression grew serious again.

He smelled a formidable beastly presence under the light.

After the Super Beast Mimicry, Lu Ran also had some beastly attributes and could sense the threatening aura of nearby creatures.

The shrunken King of Sudden Death… was not simple!

"Mr. Husky, come out and take a look." Lu Ran stepped back and summoned Mr. Husky with a wave of his hand.

Mr. Husky was dumbfounded and showed a confused look. What is this?

As the light dissipated, a "Red-eyed Eagle Lizard" no longer than a finger appeared before them.

This little guy looked so familiar, Mr. Husky wondered.

Could it be the King of Sudden Death which had died just by being glanced at before? Why had it gotten smaller!

"Waka!" The King of Sudden Death moved slightly, and its red eyes turned toward them. With this movement, Mr. Husky frowned.

"Ooowoo—" At that moment, as if sensing the threat from the King of Sudden Death that rivaled an extraordinary Gold Gradation from the northeast, Mr. Husky focused his gaze and moved in front of Lu Ran, asking what was going on.

But who knew, as soon as Mr. Husky bared his teeth and grimaced, the King of Sudden Death keeled over and died peacefully…

Mr. Husky: ?

Lu Ran's stomach ached. "Damn it, it's evolved into the extraordinary, but why hasn't its personality changed?"

"Mr. Husky, did you feel it?"

"Woof!" Mr. Husky nodded, stepped forward, and poked the "dead" mini True Red-Eye Black Dragon with his paw.

Such strong physical strength.

Mr. Husky felt that the armor of the King of Sudden Death at that moment was as hard as that of a wild boar's Rock body, and there was a slight tingling sensation upon touching.

"Indeed, no wonder I sensed a powerful aura."

Lu Ran could tell that he had encountered another top-grade specimen.

He wondered if it was his own luck or Fang Lan's luck that was better.

If Lu Ran wasn't mistaken, the Species Level of the King of Sudden Death after its first awakening into extraordinary power was... Advanced Extraordinary!

To self-awaken to an Advanced Extraordinary level without any Beast Trainer contract feedback!

Such aptitude might be even stronger than the Ferocious Beasts like Siberian Tigers and Black Bears that are listed as "Strong Race" on the Divine Pet List.

Keep in mind, before awakening, it was only the size of a palm-sized lizard.

So in a sense, the aptitude of this King of Sudden Death and Fang Lan's Heterochromatic Wolf Spider were even more terrifying.

Fang Lan, that guy, couldn't possibly have all pets that start with an Advanced Extraordinary Race, right…?

Lu Ran stood on the floor, silently looking at the King of Sudden Death, which played dead flawlessly. But with this personality… despite its heaven-defying racial aptitude, it seemed like it would be hard to train.

When provoked, couldn't it make the one provoking it drop dead instead of dropping dead itself???

And also... why is it so small? It doesn't fit his image of a domineering giant dragon at all. Although its Species Level might not be low, for a palm-sized lizard… what could it do?
