Chapter 39: The Condor Hero
"I'm back again.
Jinling High-speed Railway Station is bustling with people.
Lu Ran, wearing a black sweatshirt, white shorts and a sun hat, squeezed out of the crowd.
"Fortunately, nothing happened!"
Lu Ran poked the King of Death in his pocket. He brought the King of Death with him on this trip to Jinling.
After the extraordinary evolution, the King of Death has a much stronger ability to adapt.
Even if he is in a place where the environment is not suitable for him, he will not feel uncomfortable.
At this time, looking at the familiar Jinling City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Lu Ran was melancholy.
He lived here for a period of time when he was a child and left many memories. After many years, he finally came back again.
According to the navigation, Lu Ran walked out of the high-speed railway station and got on the taxi he had called in advance, heading straight to the Tianhong Dojo with a clear goal.
The Tianhong Dojo is located in a remote area, far away from the city center. Lu Ran sat for a long time before he came to the outside of this familiar dojo.
Observing the ancient and quaint dojo in front of him, which did not have many traces of modernization, Lu Ran smiled.
He stretched out his hand, and a A portable gift box. Since he came, he naturally did not come empty-handed.
Inside... all good things.
Because he couldn't think of a good gift, Lu Ran packed some of the resources he bought from the secret realm and brought it over as a gift.
It's not dog food.
He was not disrespectful enough to honor the old man with dog food, so it was fine to eat it himself.
These are all high-end nutritional products that Lu Ran wants to eat himself, including Mingshen tea, so he is very sincere!
After all, even he is very short of crystal coins.
In addition to the gift box, Lu Ran also took out the Zhanfeng Sword and hung it behind him handsomely.
After completing all this, he pushed open the door of the dojo and entered.
The lobby of the dojo was very deserted, with only a young girl in a kendo uniform sitting there playing with her mobile phone.
Seeing this, Lu Ran sighed. Sure enough, mobile phones are more attractive than kendo.
"Who are you?" Seeing Lu Ran pushing the door with a sword on his back, the girl looked up. This time Lu Ran came here, and did not tell the master in advance, but planned to give the other party a surprise.
"Kick the hall. Lu Ran spoke.
The kendo girl stood up suddenly: ? ?
What, challenge?
She showed a fierce expression...
"Just a joke..." Lu Ran was about to say that he was just joking, don't get excited, but he saw that the girl decisively pressed a button next to him, and in an instant, the familiar alarm sounded from the dojo.
Lu Ran's eyes went dark, and you are so quick, lady.
Lu Ran had heard this alarm before. When he was a child, he studied in the dojo. If someone came to challenge, the person in charge of guarding the dojo would press this to notify the apprentices who were training inside.
Sure enough, as the girl pressed it, the dojo suddenly became noisy, and there were even bursts of excited roars.
"Which blind person came to challenge."
"I have been an apprentice for 6 months, and finally met a challenger."
In a flash, more than a dozen teenagers of different ages, wearing kendo uniforms, walked out of the dojo.
Each of them held a wooden sword and looked at Lu Ran in the center of the lobby, with great momentum.
"Which school are you from? Tell me your name." Someone shouted in the crowd.
"Dog-shaped sword... Oh no, it's a misunderstanding... Actually, I'm here to visit Master Jiang Dou. Here, a gift box, a gift box, is he here?" Lu Ran smiled and pointed to the gift box in his hand.
Uh...
Everyone was stunned, but at this time, looking at a group of young and energetic kendo apprentices, Lu Ran felt itchy again, and his eyes changed and said: "But it's not a bad thing to ask for advice. Let me see how strong Tianhong Dojo is now."
Tianhong Dojo is prosperous in martial arts, which is very different from those modern kendo dojos. Students are often injured, so it has been reported many times... Those who dare to come here to study are all strong people.
As he said, Lu Ran walked to a corner of the lobby, pulled out a wooden sword from a sword storage barrel, waved it familiarly, and then looked at the dojo apprentices with an extremely serious look!
Boom!
As Lu Ran looked at him, a fierce aura burst out from him. He was like a beast looking at his prey. This terrible aura was almost materialized and impacted every sword apprentice who looked directly at Lu Ran, making these people pale suddenly, and those who didn't know the reason softened.
Some people just looked at Lu Ran, and their legs and feet softened, almost sitting down, as if they recalled the experience of being chased and bitten by stray dogs when they were wearing open-crotch pants.
"Is anyone coming?"
Faced with Lu Ran's invitation to fight, for a while, no one could speak completely, and all their faces showed fear.
"Jian Shi... Who are you?" At this time, a middle-aged man happened to walk out from inside. When he saw the situation in the lobby, his expression changed, especially when he felt the beast-like aura on Lu Ran, he was extremely surprised.
But...
"Brother He?" Lu Ran, holding a wooden sword, suddenly brightened up and looked at the middle-aged man who walked out. He finally met an acquaintance!
He didn't know any of these apprentices, but he was very familiar with this middle-aged man who had just come out.
He was a gold medal veteran of the dojo.
"Lu Ran?" At this time, the man called Senior Brother He saw Lu Ran's growth and guessed and spoke, not believing it.
"Are you Lu Ran?"
"It's me."
"Fuck, it's you." Senior Brother He was shocked, and the sword apprentices next to him were confused. What's going on? And... They looked at Lu Ran with sweat dripping down their faces. What's going on with this guy? Why is he looking at him? They felt like they were looking at a monster. It was so scary.
"I'm here to see Master Jiang Dou. Is he here?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yes, why are you here? I'll take you there!" Senior Brother He was not calm at this time. He took a deep breath, looked at the apprentices around him, and said, "This is Lu Ran. I studied in Tianhong Dojo when I was a child. I am considered your senior brother. It should be a misunderstanding. Okay, you go back to train first."
As he said that, he led Lu Ran to the inside of the dojo.
"Xiao Ran, is it really you? What's wrong with you? That just now, could it be the sword force... But how is it possible?"
Senior Brother He asked in surprise while leading Lu Ran inside. As far as he knew, even in the entire Tianhong Dojo, only Master Jiang Dou had comprehended the sword force.
Lu Ran is only a teenager, how could he possibly comprehend this high realm that is difficult to comprehend even after decades of immersion in the sword art.
"Let's talk about it later." Lu Ran smiled.
At this time, in a room deep in the Tianhong Dojo, an old man with a bald head and white eyebrows was sitting cross-legged on the floor meditating. The alarm just now did not disturb him, and he was quite a master.
It was not until there was a knock on the door that the old man was startled and woke up from his dream and said, "I fell asleep again..."
"Who is it, come in..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the door and saw Brother He leading Lu Ran into the room.
"Master Jiang Dou, look who's here, haha, it's Lu Ran." Brother He smiled and said, he knew that Master Jiang Dou liked Lu Ran very much, and he would definitely be very happy that Lu Ran came to see him at this time.
Especially... Lu Ran also grew up with the terrible sword art.
"Lu Ran?!" The old man was startled, stood up and looked at Lu Ran's familiar face.
"Master Jiang Dou." Lu Ran said embarrassedly, "Your 60th birthday was a few days ago. I was planning to come over at that time, but I was delayed by some things. I'm very sorry."
"But! I brought you a very rare gift, you will never guess what it is!"
[Wow...] The King of Death in the pocket turned over. It couldn't be dog food. It saw that these gifts and Mr. Ha's dog food were all taken out from a card...
"Hehe, it's okay." Jiang Dou smiled and said, "I'm satisfied that you can have this heart, why..."
He looked at the Zhanfeng Sword on Lu Ran's back and caught the unusual breath of this sword.
"You picked up the sword again?"
"Master Jiang Dou, don't be surprised, just now... Lu Ran showed his sword power, and the momentum forced the apprentices outside to not move!" Senior Brother He said at this time.
"What?" Jiang Dou looked at Lu Ran with an expression of disbelief, and hurriedly said, "Show it to me!"
"Okay." Lu Ran nodded, and he also knew the old man's mood and expectations, so he drew out the Wind-Slashing Sword, concentrated his mind, and looked at his master seriously.
Boom!
The sword force, like the breath of a fierce beast, was revealed again, turning into an invisible gust of wind, suppressing the opposite side. At this time, Jiang Dou also focused his eyes and felt the amazing change in Lu Ran's momentum. The moment the young boy picked up the sword, he seemed to turn into a fierce beast, and his breath was particularly violent.
Jiang Dou seemed to see the shadow of a king wolf, roaring at him, and sending out a deterrent.
But strangely, he did not show other changes like those apprentices, nor did he look very pleased. Instead, he said with a bit of loneliness: "Boy, you won't... also become a beastmaster?"
"Ah?" Lu Ran, holding the sword, was stunned and said: "You guessed it, but what does 'also' mean? Could it be that you, the master, were also selected? Wait, you won't be the first generation elder, a hidden master, right?"
Lu Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. No way, if that's the case, it would be great, he would have a big thigh to hold.
He doesn't trust others, but the master is still trustworthy.
"It's a pity that I'm too old to be selected." Master Jiang Dou said, "But your Senior Brother Jiang Man was one of the first to be selected to become a beastmaster. The reason I judged this way is that he also used the extraordinary power of the beastmaster to comprehend the sword at a young age."
"Senior Brother Jiang..." Lu Ran remembered that there was such a person, who seemed to be Jiang Dou's adopted son. Jiang Dou had serious injuries in his early years of fighting and had no children in his life. He only had an adopted son...
"Where is Senior Brother Jiang?" Lu Ran asked, feeling that this trip was not in vain, and it seemed that he could hold a thigh. Old man Jiang Dou was not the first generation elder, and his son was... It seemed that he was not bad.
When mentioning this adopted son, Master Jiang Dou sighed, and Senior Brother He beside him also lowered his head.
"Your Senior Brother Jiang died a long time ago, died in the secret realm, I didn't expect that you would also become a beastmaster. Thinking about it carefully, you were born in such a family..." Jiang Dou looked at Lu Ran.
"This profession is very dangerous. Although I haven't experienced it myself, I have learned some things from Jiang Man."
"Now that I see you, I feel that you seem to be following his old path. Therefore, even if I see that you have comprehended the sword power, I can't be happy."
Lu Ran was slightly absent-minded. He didn't expect that this would happen. For a moment, he felt a little complicated. The only adopted son of Master Jiang Dou... died in the secret realm?
"Hey, I'm old too, why bring up such things, he is him, you are you." Jiang Dou shook his head and said, "Wait."
As he said that, he turned around as if he wanted to get something.
After a while, Master Jiang Dou took out a diary.
He handed it to Lu Ran and said, "This is the diary that your senior brother Jiang Man used to record his growth experience after becoming a beastmaster. Take a look. I don't know much about the profession of beastmaster, but this may be of some help to you, and it is also a warning."
Lu Ran took the diary in silence.
He opened the first page.
[I'm so lucky that I was chosen to become a beastmaster. I contracted my favorite sand wither and named myself the God wither hero. 】
