The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 47  - 41 People Are Inferior to Dogs_1

"Are you seriously not joking?"

Mr. Jiang Dou Sr.'s nose twitched as he asked again.

He felt that Lu Ran was deliberately teasing him.

Teaching swordsmanship to Husky was more absurd than teaching it to an eagle.

No, both were absurd.

One was obsessed with watching TV dramas and insisted on raising an eagle.

The other's thought process was not quite normal...

"No, I'm serious, and if you don't believe me, just watch."

Saying this, Lu Ran took out Black Card.

At his fingertips, the Black Card ignited like flames, and right away, a summoning formation appeared on the ground of the arena.

Inside the array diagram, Mr. Husky appeared looking bewildered.

"Woof..." Mr. Husky, after coming out, looked around confusedly, his gaze shifting to the distinguished-looking old man and to the perplexed Senior Brother He beside him.

And as Lu Ran held his Wind Cutting Sword up to Mr. Husky's mouth, Mr. Husky understood Boss Lu's intention.

Show off some moves, show off some moves with the sword!

"Woof!" Saying this, Mr. Husky's eyes glinted with a trace of wisdom; he got excited. Lu Ran had taught him so many fancy things, but Mr. Husky thought that wielding a sword was the coolest.

The reason was simple, after using the sword, its strength had notably increased, and chasing after power is the instinct of all life!

Click.

Mr. Husky clenched the Wind Cutting Sword and executed his most proficient move, the Gale Sword-drawing Technique!

"Woof woof!" He dashed forward at an extremely high speed, his figure seemingly vanishing to the onlooker.

When the onlookers caught on, all they could feel was a sword light, appearing before Mr. Husky.

It was as if a sharp sword was rapidly unsheathed, breaking through the darkness into dawn.

Mr. Husky's form paused in midair, and with a leap, he had slashed out a sword light that twinkled in the air for an instant, accompanied by the sword's hum!

Thump.

Mr. Husky landed effortlessly, exuding the aura of a master, and shot a glance at Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. and the wide-eyed Senior Brother He.

"My gosh." Senior Brother He was shocked. Could this Husky really wield a sword?

The move just now seemed quite proficient!

Most importantly, was this an extraordinary being? So fast... he didn't see it clearly.

He felt that he might not be able to beat this dog!

"All flash and no substance!"

"With this level of skill, you think you can understand Sword Momentum?" However, Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. was clearly more critical.

He immediately spotted various faults.

As well as the immaturity in Mr. Husky's Sword Technique.

"Ha... ha... It's indeed not perfect now, but you see, it hasn't fused with any attributes yet..."

Lu Ran said with a sheepish smile, Mr. Husky had indeed made rapid progress. First, because its aptitude was extraordinary, and second, Lu Ran's newly developed Reverse Beast Mimicry had successfully fed back his own swordsmanship experience to Mr. Husky.

"Once it has fused with the attributes, its potential will definitely be no less than anyone else's!" Lu Ran said.

Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. still could not accept the idea that a Husky learning swordsmanship could lead anywhere.

But Mr. Husky couldn't stand hearing such things.

Clutching the sword in its mouth, it gave Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. a disgruntled look.

Why say it couldn't grasp Sword Momentum!

This grudge... it remembered!

Just you wait and see.

Speaking of which, a fearsome aura spread from Mr. Husky, clutching the sword, sharp as the north wind howling, giving Master Jiang Dou, Senior Brother He, and everyone else the chills as they turned to look with grave faces.

"Grrrr!!"

Mr. Husky growled, showing Sword Momentum!

Jiang Dou, Senior Brother He, Lu Ran were stunned: ???

"Ha..." Mr. Jiang Dou Sr.'s expression gradually turned incredulous.

The sense he got facing Lu Ran's Beast Sword Stance had reappeared.

Looking at Mr. Husky, in a moment, Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. felt as if he was in the midst of northern winds, facing off against a king wolf.

The piercing cold wind made him space out for a moment.

"Impossible." Jiang Dou blurted out involuntarily.

At this time, Lu Ran was once again shocked as he looked at Mr. Husky.

Your "elderly" self, have you realized a new skill?

No, this shouldn't be called a skill, it was the application of momentum!

He constantly used Reverse Beast Mimicry, letting Mr. Husky learn from his own Sword Momentum, and it had finally borne fruit!

"Hahaha, Master, look, it's Sword Momentum, who dares say Husky can't learn swordsmanship now." Lu Ran was now amused, feeling incredibly proud of Mr. Husky.

In ancient times, people wished for their sons to become dragons.

Now, they wish for Huskies to become Sword Saints, exhilarating!

In the expanse of Xia Country, those who have mastered Sword Momentum can be counted on ten fingers.

And now, even a dog has learned it, who dares to say it's not suited for learning the sword? With this, Mr. Husky should be able to fight Demon Cat even better, after all, Sword Momentum... is somewhat like a minor control skill, it could potentially make Demon Cat briefly lose concentration.

"I'm floored!" Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. found his worldview somewhat shattered at this moment.

You should know, he's been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, hailed by his father as born for the sword, and even then, it took him over two decades to comprehend Sword Momentum.

Such skill would even be considered expert in the martial world of ancient times.

But what did he see now? A Husky... actually demonstrating Sword Momentum!

He couldn't accept it!

This was even more incomprehensible to him than Lu Ran and Jiang Man, the two youngsters, easily mastering Sword Momentum through extraordinary powers.

"Woof!" Mr. Husky was brimming with domineering pride, his gaze commanding, as if to say, old man, times have changed!

Even Senior Brother He couldn't look Mr. Husky in the eye, afraid the notion "not even as good as a dog" would deeply engrain itself in his mind.

"How can this be, how can this be?" Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. seemed to be reconstructing his worldview, he said, "Is this what a Beast Trainer is, is this what Extraordinary Beings are?"

"Still unscientific though, how can a dog comprehend Sword Momentum."

"Lu kid, how did you do it, what were you thinking, teaching a dog swordsmanship?"

The key point is, it was successful!

It managed to reach a realm countless swordsmen have not.

"Er, well..." Lu Ran said, "It's quite a coincidence, at the time I just happened to learn about the mythical image of Ya Zi among the Nine Sons of the Dragon, with a treasure sword held in its mouth, with the sword hilt being swallowed..."

"Ya Zi is an image of a jackal or wolf..."

"Also, it just so happens I handle a sword with both hands, and I also have a Husky, I was just bored and wanted to let it cosplay as Ya Zi, so I made a wooden sword for it."

"Who knew, its learning capability was not bad..."

"But it was just for fun before, the real decision to let it seriously learn swordsmanship was after we encountered the profession of Beast Trainer, acquiring extraordinary powers."

"Ya Zi?" said Jiang Dou, "There seems to indeed be such an image, but that's just human fabrication... forget it, now that super ancient civilizations have appeared, those legends of divine beasts from history, they might really be traces left from ancient times."

At this moment, hearing Lu Ran explain it this way, the old man actually felt relieved.

Mr. Jiang Dou Sr.'s expressions kept changing, undergoing an ideological struggle.

In the end, he clenched his teeth and looked at Mr. Husky, saying, "Not bad, I, the old man, acknowledge you now."

Mr. Husky: ?

Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. said, "Would you like to take me as your master? Do you understand me?"

Senior Brother He, Lu Ran: ???

Mr. Husky wore an expression of wisdom. "Huh, I don't understand what you're saying, oh, but I still like your unruly look just now."

"Master, please just stop, you can't teach it," Lu Ran quickly intervened, saying, "You're not getting any younger, and with your physique, I'm afraid it might exhaust you to pieces."

"Cough, if you have any signature skills left, why not teach me instead? I can then pass them on to it. It's the same thing."

"I read in Senior Brother's diary that you, Master, had mastered Sword Momentum long ago, and even mentioned something called 'Sword Intent'?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Ran asked. Indeed, Mr. Husky was not someone anyone could teach... One could say it was irrevocably tied to him.

"Is that so? That's a shame!" Jiang Dou saw that Mr. Husky was indeed not very bright, looking like he didn't understand what was being said, and shook his head with regret.

Then, he began to respond to Lu Ran's questions.

"Of course, your master has naturally mastered Sword Momentum long ago, but it's different from the kind of Sword Momentum you guys are thinking of."

"Your and that Husky's Sword Momentum is more about strengthening your presence to create a sense of oppression in the enemy, thereby disrupting them."

"Just like in the natural world, the king of beasts only needs to emit its scent to make a bunch of animals flee in terror."

"As for my Sword Momentum, I don't know if you've heard of the phrase 'Sword Momentum like a rainbow'. Look at the name of our arena, Prism Arena, our school's swordsmanship is characterized by ultimate speed, like the light of a rainbow, it's all about enhancing the speed of the sword technique, dazzling the enemy, overwhelming them, creating oppression, leaving them unable to react. That's the Sword Momentum."

"You were too young when you trained at the arena and were just laying the foundation, so you didn't come across these things, but it's not a big issue."

"Something like Sword Momentum, the best kind is the one that suits you. You two should just focus on the Sword Momentum you currently possess, and there's really no need to pursue something else."

"Just like you asked, pursuing a higher realm of Sword Momentum, the 'Sword Intent', that's your goal!" Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. looked at Lu Ran with an excited expression.

"This legendary swordsman realm, I have never stepped into, and your Senior Brother Jiang Man also didn't manage to reach it in time."

"However, after he became a Beast Trainer, he did share a lot with me. 'Sword Momentum' is said to be when you practice swordsmanship to a certain level, a strong self-confidence, an extraordinary skill, that gives the swordsman a kind of determination. It's a technique that requires standing on a certain height, with a powerful inner strength, to comprehend."

"Such a technique, in fact, exists in various domains; many masters who occupy high positions and achieve extraordinary accomplishments in their fields possess a demeanor far beyond ordinary people."

"And Sword Momentum is about integrating this kind of demeanor into a sharp sword, applying it more distinctly to the opponent. That's the realm."

"If Sword Momentum still leaves traces, then Sword Intent is somewhat ethereal, similar to legends. Ancient swordsmen believed that a swordsman who has comprehended the Sword Intent can not only inflict physical injuries on the enemy but also cause intense mental impact!"

"It's about embodying one's own mental will in the sword; the sword doesn't even need to be drawn, and a mere glance can transform into a sharp blade, shattering the enemy's conviction… Doesn't it sound very ethereal and fantastical?"

"Indeed…" Lu Ran listened and felt it was unreliable. If it were really so powerful, Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. would not have been so deflated when asked back then whether guns or swords were more formidable.

Sword Momentum sounds pretty impressive, but that's about it; it still falls in the face of a gun.

But this Sword Intent sounds like it defies science. Guns are saying, "I find this pretty bizarre too."

"It is indeed a very fantastical realm, just a domain from legends, but now things are different. You also saw in your Senior Brother Jiang Man's diary that he seemed to have found the training path for Sword Intent, but sadly… he wasn't able to continue down that path."

"Back then, the profession of Beast Trainer was still in its exploratory stage. Now, three years later, some theories should be relatively mature, right? If it's you guys, maybe you can achieve it!" Mr. Jiang Dou Sr. looked at Lu Ran and Mr. Husky with great anticipation, hope brimming in his eyes.

However, as he watched the eager Husky beside him, the thought that a dog might achieve the Sword Intent realm that numerous exceptionally talented swordsmen had failed to reach made him a bit worried. What kind of situation was this?
