Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 185 Explosion! Unreasonable Sparks!
On the battlefield,
The Explosive Fighting Ape's arms fell on both sides of its body, its red hair was particularly eye-catching, its clenched fists occasionally flew sparks, and its reddish eyes all showed the character of this pet - violent and manic.

It seems that many fire-type pets have this kind of personality.

There is an unexamined view in today's academic circles that the personality of a pet is largely influenced by its attributes.

Fire-type pets tend to be aggressive, water-type pets tend to be gentle, and wood-type pets tend to be kind.
This may be an objective impression, but it does make sense to some extent.

"The Flame Cloud Falcon is quite rare." Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the Flame Cloud Falcon hovering above the field, and said one sentence after another, "This body shape, this fur, this look, it is very well cultivated."

"Let me think about it, what are the skills of Yanyun Falcon? Flame Surge, Flame Prison, Flame Energy Assault."

This was the first time Chen Yuan met a beastmaster who talked so much, so he turned his head to glance at Jiang Wen Ning beside him.

Jiang Wenning said silently: "You are such a chatterbox."

Chen Yuan nodded in understanding.

"This Flame Cloud Falcon has been bred very well." Professor Song observed the Flame Cloud Falcon carefully, "and its form has changed slightly. Its body shape is different from that of ordinary Flame Cloud Falcons. It should be a leader quality."

"I remember that the advancement conditions from elite to commander of the Flame Cloud Falcon appeared not long ago. Your brother can now own a commander-quality Flame Cloud Falcon, which shows that he is very good and has made many contributions to the association."

Contribution points are required to redeem advanced conditions, and contribution points are obtained by completing tasks.

When Professor Song said these words, Zhang Yu kept frowning and kept repeating Chen Yuan's name.

He always felt that the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it when he was in college.

Where is it?
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Chen Wenhao, who was smiling. Memories flooded his mind like a tide, and his eyes widened instantly: "It turned out to be him!"

In Professor Shen’s class, there was a researcher named Chen Yuan who attracted everyone’s attention.

This person not only uploaded the advancement conditions of the Flame Cloud Falcon, but also researched the advancement conditions of the Run Run Duck and the Steelhead Gopher, making everyone exclaim where this academic monster came from.

Research scholar Chen Yuan, beastmaster Chen Yuan.

The same Flame Cloud Falcon.

When certain incredible things come together, they can never be explained by coincidence.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is your brother the Chen Yuan?"

"Which Chen Yuan?" Chen Wenhao was stunned.

"It's the one that uploads the advanced conditions." Zhang Yu looked at Chen Wenhao with anticipation.

Chen Wenhao nodded.

At this moment, Zhang Yu seemed to have glimpsed a shocking secret, his eyes lit up and his body trembled.

It's really him!
They are actually the same person!
Zhang Yu looked at Chen Yuan with a look full of emotion, and finally looked at Chen Wenhao, hesitating to say: "Senior Brother."

"You have such an outstanding brother, don't you feel pressured?"

Chen Wenhao smiled faintly: "Just get used to it."

Growing up, many people compared the two brothers.

Compared with Chen Yuan, Chen Wenhao is more diligent and hard-working, with better academic performance. After entering university, he has been running at full speed, and a bright future is beckoning him.

After graduation, Chen Yuan returned to his hometown, seemingly ready to lie down and live a leisurely and peaceful life.

But after the resurrection of spiritual energy, everything changed.

His brother's talent as a beastmaster gradually emerged, and he somehow managed to research ways to upgrade several pets, which amazed him even though he was far away in the Magic City.

But he was happy to see this scene.

The more capable and outstanding my brother is, the lighter the burden on my shoulders will be, and I can conduct academic research without any pressure.

Speaking of this, he couldn't wait to study the Snow Cloud Wolf leader who had inexplicably advanced to a higher level as mentioned by his brother, and the Frost Bull whose body was full of abnormalities.

“I really want to draw their blood for research.” Chen Wenhao murmured in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"What are you talking about?" Professor Song cast an inquiring look at the two of them.

Zhang Yu did not answer at first, but looked at Chen Wenhao. Seeing the latter nod slightly, he waved his fist and said excitedly: "Teacher, my senior brother's brother is actually..."

Wang Jianping remained calm and pricked up his ears silently.

While the three were talking, a fierce fight had already begun.

Facing the aggressive Explosive Flame Fighting Ape, Chen Yuan was on high alert. His eyes focused and a thought flashed through his mind: "Flame energy surprise attack."

It is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time in a battle of the same attributes. The safest way is to first proceed step by step to find out the specific strength of the opponent, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures.

"Chirp~"

Sparks swirled in the air above the venue. His eyes flashed, and his wings rolled up a red cloud vortex. Suddenly, he folded his wings and turned them into a red-gold meteor, swooping down towards the Explosive Fighting Ape.

At this moment, the air was compressed with a sharp explosion, and the flame condensed in the spark beak quickly changed from orange-red to blazing white, like a knight's spear forged from lava.

At each stage of skill proficiency, the manifestation is different, such as different flame colors and different flame distribution areas.

Flames condense in the beak, which is an important sign that [Flame Assault] has reached the mastery level.

The sparks were getting faster and faster, and their momentum was getting stronger and stronger. Waves of heat were rolling around them, almost distorting the air.

Looking at this scene, the three combat students' expressions changed slightly: "Very strong."

One of the students who had a good relationship with Chen Wenhao turned his head and asked, "Is your brother a student at the Beast Taming Academy here?"

Chen Wenhao shook his head.

The student sighed: "He won't get far if he follows a self-taught path. It's best to persuade him to join the academy for in-depth study."

"At this stage, the gap between the wild path and us is not that big."

"But the gap gets bigger as time goes on."

"This Flame Cloud Falcon is very strong. It's best not to waste such an outstanding talent."

Chen Wenhao remained silent.

Lu Ran's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He waved his fists excitedly, and a thought came to his mind: "Face him head-on, and strike with a blazing fist combo!"

"roar--!!"

The Explosive Flame Fighting Ape's eyes flashed with ferocity. Facing the sparks that were swept over by the surging heat wave, he did not dodge or evade. His fists collided, sparks flew out, and a combo of blazing fists suddenly blasted out!
Boom boom boom!
Dozens of fist shadows were swung out, waves of flames surged, and passionately collided with the sparks covering the blazing flames, and a dazzling ball of light instantly exploded in the air!
Everyone stared at the center of the collision, and a cloud of black smoke filled the air.

"Roar"

The Explosive Fighting Ape flew backwards, emitting black smoke and falling heavily to the ground. The armor on its right fist was shattered and the blood was evaporated by the heat wave before it could even drip.

It supported itself on its right elbow and slowly stood up, staring at the gradually dissipating black smoke with its fierce eyes.

"Chirp!"

Sparks spread its wings and flew out black smoke. The feathers on the edge of its left wing were charred and curled, and it was almost unharmed.

"To be able to gain an advantage in our first head-on confrontation, this Flame Cloud Falcon is quite powerful."

"I was wrong. This Flame Cloud Falcon can last at least two minutes."

"Maybe I can force Lu Ran to use that move."

Even though Yan Yunshun had the upper hand, the three students from the combat department did not lose confidence in Lu Ran.

This is just the beginning.

They firmly believed that Lu Ran's mad dog-like fighting style would make Chen Yuan understand the violent aesthetics of fire-type pets.

"What a powerful Flame Cloud Falcon!"

Lu Ran didn't care about the injured Explosive Flame Fighting Ape at all. Instead, he stared at the Flame Cloud Falcon with interest, his hands in his pockets, grinning: "This is called a battle, this is the confrontation between fire-type pets!"

"Explosive Flame Fighting Ape, Fire Meteorite Leap Attack!" He pulled out his right hand and snapped his fingers, his smile as flamboyant as his dark red hair fluttering in the wind.

"Roar--!"

The Explosive Fighting Ape pounded its chest and let out a war cry, then suddenly leaped up and landed heavily on the ground. Its fists slammed the ground like a storm, stirring up countless pieces of gravel.

Each piece of rubble flew upward due to the impact, and after reaching the highest point, it fell to the ground at an astonishing speed, ignited by the rolling heat wave in the middle of the journey, and turned into a sky full of flaming meteors!
Fireballs fell one after another, and sparks flapped their wings rapidly and climbed up.

These fireballs are like a ring-shaped fire net, approaching layer by layer, trying to trap the sparks inside.

"Flames surge." Chen Yuan's eyes were calm.

"Chirp~"

The sparks no longer dodged, hovering in the air, with its abdomen puffed out, and suddenly gushed out a surging flame, like a roaring fire dragon, swallowing up countless fire meteors, achieving the shocking effect of instantly clearing the screen.

Lu Ran was horrified, but even more excited. He clenched his fists and thought: "Fiery Fist Combo!"

The Explosive Flame Fighting Ape kicked off the ground and leaped up, instantly closing the distance between the two, and its right fist wrapped in flames slammed into Spark's abdomen.

"Chirp!"

At the critical moment, Sparks did not need Chen Yuan's command.

The orange-yellow body twisted and dodged, but the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape's attacks continued, the ferocity in its eyes grew stronger, and the heat waves it emitted continued to hit.

"Yanlao." Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed.

This Explosive Fighting Ape is indeed very strong. It can fight with Sparks for several rounds without being defeated.

But after the test just now, he has already figured out the specific strength of the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape.

Sparks flapped its wings violently, and a ring of flame emerged from the void, locking the Explosive Fighting Ape like a cage.

The blazing energy chains entangled the limbs of the Explosive Fighting Ape. The latter struggled desperately but could not break free.

Boom!
The Explosive Fighting Ape fell to the ground.

After the first round of fighting, the two pets fought one after another with almost no time to breathe, and the mood of the spectators fluctuated with the changes in the situation.

Chen Yuan knew very well that actual combat was not a turn-based game. Since the opponent was controlled, he had to pursue the victory.

"Spark, Flame Attack!"

There was a hissing sound, and the sparks accumulated power in an instant, and flames burst out all over the body, suddenly attacking!
Bang!
Compared to the last time, the destructive power and expressiveness of this [Flame Energy Assault] were obviously more astonishing. The surging heat wave caused the temperature in the battle room to rise sharply, and everyone suddenly felt their lips and tongues dry.

Strong, too strong.

Is this really the consultant of the Municipal Beast Tamer Association?
The strength currently displayed by this Flame Cloud Falcon is incredible to these most elite and outstanding students in the academy.

Is this really a wild beastmaster?
Even if this Flame Cloud Falcon was placed in the academy, it would definitely be a first-tier pet.

Chen Wenhao didn't understand pet beast battles, nor did he know how strong his brother was among the beast masters. But when he saw the surprise on the faces of the three combat students and the two members of the investigation department, he instantly understood a lot.

My brother’s strength seems to be not that simple.

At the same time, Wang Jianping stood straight.

Bang!
A violent explosion sounded in the center of the venue. The smoke raised by the explosion gradually dissipated, and the bruised and battered Explosive Fighting Ape lay in a big pit, gasping for breath.

Although both are fire-type pets, the Explosive Fighting Ape was still severely damaged.

Lu Ran was surprised by this, but the surging adrenaline brought him a burning desire to fight, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes. Others might be surprised and shocked by Yanyun Falcon's outstanding performance, but this battle was far from over, his pet was still fighting hard, and he had to abandon all other emotions for victory.

"Explosive Flame Fighting Ape——"

"Burning blood!!!"

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Explosive Fighting Ape suddenly burst into flames, its muscles swelled and tore through its skin, its eyes turned pure golden red, and its momentum soared.

"Burning Blood" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed slightly.

He had heard of this fire skill. Its effect was very similar to [Bear Power], and both could improve overall combat power in a short period of time.

After using [Burning Blood], the lower the state, the greater the combat power that can be unleashed.

This is a skill that can work miracles.

"It's happened, it's the most disgusting and shameless move." The students of the Combat Department sighed at the same time when they saw this scene.

In the academy headquarters, many students' pets can force the Explosive Fighting Ape into a desperate situation, but once they use [Burning Blood], the situation will be reversed in an instant.

Simply put, the less blood the Explosive Fighting Ape has, the stronger its combat power; the stronger its combat power, the easier it is to turn the tables.

Therefore, when fighting against the Explosive Fighting Ape, most people always have concerns in their hearts: if you beat it, it can turn the tables; if you don’t beat it, it will beat you to death.

One student crossed his arms and smiled playfully, "This Flame Cloud Falcon is indeed unexpectedly powerful, but that's all."

"The Explosive Flame Fighting Ape in the Burning Blood state is extremely disgusting."

Jiang Wenning deeply agrees with this.

The reason why Lu Ran’s ranking is inflated is largely due to this skill.

Once [Burning Blood] is used, the Explosive Fighting Ape will lose some of its sanity and enter a violent battle phase. The battle between the two sides' pets is often very brutal to the end, and a bottle of healing spray is not enough to heal the injuries.

Many students are unwilling to have their pets seriously injured in a battle.

Compared with the college ranking, they are more worried about the physical condition of their pets.

But Chen Yuan had experienced Bear Dad's [Bear Power] many times and had already prepared for this kind of skills.

Almost at the moment when the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape used [Burning Blood], he issued the command: "Fire Storm."

A clear cry was heard in the air, and Spark's wings spread fully, with faint flames emerging from every feather.

The flames burned fiercely and surged wildly, turning the pair of dark blue eyes into golden color.

The air twisted violently, and waves of fire piled up like a tsunami. Two blazing storms roared across the field, one on the left and one on the right, sweeping towards the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape!
Waves of heat hit them, and the spectators retreated one after another.

At this moment, Lu Ran felt extremely excited, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and a sick smile appeared on his face: "Don't be afraid! Go ahead!"

This is Lu Ran’s mad dog style of play.

His personality complemented the Exploding Flame Ape after it entered the Burning Blood state. He threw all his original tactics out the window, and only one word remained in his mind - do it!
As long as it still has a breath left, the Explosive Fighting Ape will definitely take the initiative to attack, and exchanging injuries for injuries is just a common thing for it.

Therefore, many beastmasters were unwilling to fight with Lu Ran. Even if they won a battle by chance, the medical expenses they had to pay would far exceed the value of the victory itself.

"roar--!!!"

The Explosive Fighting Ape roared in anger, suddenly spread its legs, charged towards the blazing storm, and swung its fists to meet the attack.

Compared to the two raging fire storms, the body of the Explosive Fighting Ape seemed incomparably small, but its momentum was not inferior at all, and its blood-red eyes flashed with brilliance.

One student jokingly said, “It’s time to give Advisor Chen a little shock.”

"It's not surprising to defeat the normal Explosive Ape. It would be great if we could defeat the Explosive Ape in the Burning Blood state..."

Before he could finish his words, the situation on the field suddenly changed. His pupils trembled violently and he swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

The storm was raging and the fire was burning wildly. Two fire storms trapped the Explosive Fighting Ape in between, and the increasingly hot heat waves continued to burn it.

The Explosive Fighting Ape is a fire-type pet and has a natural resistance to fire-type skills.

But when there is a gap in strength between the two sides, this resistance is better than nothing.

"Roar!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Explosive Fighting Ape was gradually swallowed up like a lone boat in the raging waves.

It punched hard, and each swing was able to repel a cluster of flames, but more flames quickly surged up like fire snakes and wrapped around its entire body.

Its body was engulfed by the surging heat wave, and only an increasingly weak roar sounded in its ears: "Roar"

When the last wave of fire hit, everyone could clearly see the staggering figure of the Explosive Fighting Ape, with his arms hanging limply.

"Roar"

The Explosive Flame Fighting Ape's body shook, and the next moment it fell to the ground, with the flames all over its body extinguished.

For a moment, there was dead silence inside and outside the venue, and the sound of swallowing saliva was clearly audible.

“Is that right?”

“Does this make sense?”

"Is this really the Flame Cloud Falcon?"

Along with these three soul-searching questions, a long-haired male student scratched his hair vigorously, with a puzzled look on his face: "They are both level two, both fire-type, how can they beat the Explosion Flame Fighting Ape in the Burning Blood State?"

His pet was once ravaged by the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape in the Burning Blood state, and he was deeply impressed by it.

He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.

A male student with a crew cut beside him patted his shoulder and consoled him softly, "Some things are hard to understand. For example, Lu Ran doesn't understand why his Explosive Flame Fighting Ape can never beat Li Tianyun's Wind-Running Tiger."

"Oh, now there is another Flame Cloud Falcon."

"Some beast masters cannot be viewed with common sense, and the same goes for their pets. The unreasonable is reasonable to them."

The long-haired male student's expression changed rapidly, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

People are most afraid of comparison with each other, especially in an academy headquarters where there are so many geniuses.

In the eyes of others, he is an unattainable gifted child.

In his eyes, only people like Li Tianyun could be considered geniuses.

Now there's one more.

The male student with a crew cut joked, "Who said before that the wild way wouldn't work?"

"Even if they didn't join the academy, they could easily beat us up."

The long-haired male student said faintly: "Who said the wild way is bad? This wild way is great."

After a pause, he sighed, "Who knew such a perverted beastmaster could emerge from such a small place."

The male student with a crew cut nodded sincerely: "Indeed."

Wang Jianping could hardly stop smiling, but considering that some staff were filming the fight, he forced himself to control his facial expression and just smiled slightly.

The two members of the Investigation Department who had been silent for a long time witnessed the whole battle. They turned their heads to look at each other and communicated with their eye contact.

"He has excellent talent, and his fighting style is not the rigid academic style. He is a very rare talent."

"Can you bring it here?"

"He is a consultant to the association, so it may be difficult."

"Report the situation and let the leaders find a solution."

on the field,
Lu Ran lowered his eyes, staring at the unconscious Explosive Flame Fighting Ape, his body trembling slightly.

No one knew what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly looked up and looked at Chen Yuan with excitement and agitation in his eyes: "Interesting, very interesting!"

Chen Yuan frowned.

Jiang Wenning sighed softly: "What is coming will come."

The next moment, Lu Ran quickly ran to the Explosive Flame Fighting Ape and used the healing spray to heal its wounds while staring at Chen Yuan: "Wait for me for a moment, it will be fine soon."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What are you waiting for?"

Lu Ran grinned: "Let's fight again."

Chen Yuan: “???”

Jiang Wenning walked up to Chen Yuan and explained in a low voice: "He is an absolute battle maniac."

"Once you defeat him once, he will stick to you like a dog-skin plaster, challenging you until he defeats you."

"The thing Li Tianyun regrets most is that he won the battle, and then he was always entangled and harassed."

"Li Tianyun is annoyed by it, but Lu Ran enjoys it."

“So when many people meet Lu Ran, they would rather admit defeat than fight him.”

"Now you know why his college is ranked in the top five, right?"

After hearing this, Chen Yuan opened his mouth but said nothing for a long time.

He really regretted accepting this fight.

But when Chen Yuan met a pair of eyes full of fighting intent, when he saw the Exploding Flame Fighting Ape covered in wounds, his brows knitted tightly: "I don't think you should rush to challenge now."

Lu Ran was stunned.

"Didn't you notice that your pet was seriously injured?"

"You should take it for a comprehensive check-up now to confirm whether it has any sequelae and whether it is physically and mentally healthy."

"You are so anxious to challenge again. This is extremely irresponsible to your pet."

Lu Ran waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The Explosive Ape is in good health."

"What makes you make such a judgment?"

Before Lu Ran could finish his words, Chen Yuan interrupted him without hesitation: "Every battle will cause great consumption to the pet's body. As its beastmaster, you should always pay attention to its physical and mental condition."

"Self-righteous subjective assumptions are the most ridiculous."

Lu Ran's eyes widened. At this moment, he seemed to be back in the battle class when he was scolded by the teacher. He subconsciously responded, "Oh oh oh"

"Turn left when you go out and there's the pet treatment room." Zhou Xu spoke carefully.

Lu Ran, who was in a daze, took the Explosive Fighting Ape back into the pet space and walked out of the battle room subconsciously.

For a moment, everyone stared at Chen Yuan in a daze.

Until a timid voice broke:
"Chen Gu. No, Mr. Chen, may I ask why your Flame Cloud Falcon is so powerful?"
