Chapter 598, Beast Tamer Wang Tianlang

Translator: Silavin

 

There were a total of two hundred and fifty regions of varying sizes. The probability was extremely low for thirteen people to choose the same location.

 

It seemed that in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, conflict between people was not the main focus.

 

If one was sufficiently cautious, it would be entirely possible to avoid encountering others completely, simply searching within the Map to gather all thirteen key fragments.

 

However, after collecting thirteen key fragments, the location of the Divine Tempering Liquid would also be revealed, and at that time, everyone would be able to see it and swarm towards it. If one was not strong enough to protect the key to the Divine Tempering Pool, they would just be gifting it to the others.

 

Ultimately, what mattered here was still raw strength.

 

Of course, luck also played an enormous part in this.

 

As they could choose their landing regions, everyone showed no hesitation and began making their selections.

 

Whenever someone had chosen their region, their figure would transform into light and fly towards their selected location.

 

However, after descending a certain distance, the person would disappear from view, so one could only discern roughly which area of the Secret Realm they had landed in, but the specific region remained unknown.

 

[The first one down has the advantage.]

 

Therefore, seeing the others choosing their regions one after another, Lu Fan also randomly selected a region relatively close to the central area and descended.

 

Lu Fan’s thinking was simple. [The easiest way to obtain the Divine Tempering Liquid is to kill everyone else. Once I do that, the Divine Tempering Liquid will naturally become mine.].

 

He was not familiar with these people present, so he could kill them without reservation.

 

After choosing his region, Lu Fan’s body indeed transformed into light and flew towards the Secret Realm’s Map.

 

Accompanied by the whistling of wind, in less than a minute, Lu Fan was transported into his selected region.

 

The light around Lu Fan dissipated, and he found himself standing atop a mountain peak approximately one thousand metres high.

 

Just as Lu Fan was about to look around to see what was in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm and how to search for other key fragments, another beam of light descended, landing on another mountain peak not far from Lu Fan.

 

[Oh? Someone happened to choose the same region as me?] Seeing this, Lu Fan became interested, wondering if it might be Ning Shuan’er and Luo Lixiu who had somehow managed to land in the same area together with him.

 

However, after a moment, Lu Fan knew he had guessed wrong.

 

Because there was only one beam of light descending, not two.

 

If it were Ning Shuan’er, she would definitely move together with Luo Lixiu.

 

As Lu Fan had predicted, as the light dispersed, the person revealed their form—it was unmistakably a fat-headed, big-eared middle-aged man.

 

He looked extremely peculiar, wearing enormous armour that, including both person and armour, stood about five metres tall. It was like he was piloting a giant mecha.

 

Behind the armour were two ghastly sabres, wreathed in Black Qi, appearing incredibly fierce.

 

Lu Fan immediately recognised this person as a Player from the Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, the Wang Family. He seemed to be called Wang Tianlang. His Level was not particularly high, only 105, and among all those participating in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, his strength was merely ‘mid’.

 

Lu Fan’s impression of him was so vivid entirely because this person’s Profession was rather special. He was a Beast Tamer.

 

Generally speaking, Beast Tamer was a Summoner Type Profession, and the God’s Tomb Secret Realm placed extreme restrictions on such Professions. Once inside, they would have virtually no Combat Power.

 

But Wang Tianlang was different. Among his Pets, he had one called Purgatory Lord.

 

Purgatory Lord was an extremely rare equipable Monster. Besides possessing formidable Combat Power itself, it could also transform into equipment to be worn by its Master, providing tremendous Enhancement to ones’ Strength Attribute.

 

One could say that although Pets could not be summoned in God’s Tomb Secret Realm, equipping the Purgatory Lord was basically equivalent to summoning it.

 

Moreover, with the Purgatory Lord’s protection, the Beast Tamer would not be easily killed by Assassins.

 

Wang Tianlang’s method of enhancing his strength in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm had several similarities to Lu Fan’s approach.

 

Currently, Lu Fan had the Little Blade Armour Dragon King and Xiao Zuo and Xiao You equipped.

 

The only difference was that although Lu Fan’s armour styling was dramatic, it remained within an acceptable range for people.

 

But Wang Tianlang’s approach was like piloting a giant mecha. It was truly ostentatious.

 

As Wang Tianlang landed, he immediately spotted Lu Fan in the distance.

 

Both Lu Fan and he were equally delighted.

 

Lu Fan’s delight stemmed from not understanding the God’s Tomb Secret Realm very well and wanting to find someone more experienced to ‘consult with’.

 

Wang Tianlang’s delight came from randomly selecting a region to land in and encountering a person.

 

Moreover, this person was from a Third Tier Ancient Noble Family and was only Level 65!

 

Was this not a windfall from Heaven? It was like finding money while out and about!

 

To prevent Lu Fan from escaping, Wang Tianlang reacted extremely quickly, reaching behind himself to draw his two ghastly sabres, then leaping into the air!

 

“Today is my lucky day! To think I spotted you the moment I landed! Your key fragment is now mine!”

 

He stepped down, and Black Qi immediately appeared beneath his armour, supporting his movement, then his body soared into the air once more.

 

Using this method, Wang Tianlang moved through the air as if on solid ground, charging towards Lu Fan with thunderous steps.

 

Lu Fan was both crying and laughing, thinking to himself that he had originally worried the opponent might turn and flee. Being unfamiliar with this place, he did not know if there were traps about and he should not rashly pursue a person.

 

Who would have thought the opponent would charge directly at him instead?

 

[Such a windfall actually exists? Amazing!]!

 

Watching Wang Tianlang charge towards him in the blink of an eye, Lu Fan’s body remained still, merely flexing his wrist.

 

At this moment, Wang Tianlang struck.

 

The right sabre chopped directly down towards Lu Fan’s head, without any waste of words, seemingly not wanting any complications to arise.

 

If Lu Fan also had a Transformation Type Profession, being able to kill him before he could transform and obtain the key fragment would be the best outcome.

 

Watching that ghastly sabre fall with earth-splitting momentum, Lu Fan still showed no intention of dodging, merely raising his hand with palm facing upward, blocking above his head.

 

*Clang!*

 

The resonant sound of metal collision rang out, and something Wang Tianlang never expected in his lifetime occurred.

 

His sabre was steadily caught by Lu Fan’s palm, and the enormous recoil force travelled back through the sabre to his hand, nearly causing him to lose his grip and send the sabre flying.

 

Naturally, the sabre would not fly away, because after Lu Fan caught it, he grasped it firmly, making Wang Tianlang unable to withdraw his blade no matter how hard he tried. His weapon simply could never be pulled back!

 

[What kind of Defense and Strength is this!?]
