Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 350 It is the chosen one, and the only one.
Tuesday, October 1th.

clear.

The snowstorm dissipated, the sky cleared, and a gentle breeze blew into the farm and into the yard, only to be blocked by the tightly closed doors.

Hulu~
It was already morning. Cola, who had played with Paw Patrol for a long time yesterday and only dragged his tired body home late at night, was still asleep. He was curled up on the soft carpet, his tail swaying unconsciously, and his mouth gradually opened into a joyful arc.

It had a very, very long dream.

In the dream, it accompanied its master to the Eastern Glory Tournament, overcoming all obstacles and easily defeating its opponents, winning the loudest cheers.

Everyone said, "This is the number one dog of the Eastern Empire!"

Overjoyed, Cola's momentum surged even higher, and with its extraordinary performance, it helped its owner advance to the final competition, where they faced a terrifying opponent who resembled a great demon king.

They finally encountered a tough battle.

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy was easily defeated after being toyed with by her opponent's pet beast.
The eldest sister made a heroic entrance, with raging flames and waves of heat, defeating the opponent's first pet, but was defeated by the second pet.

At this point, the opponent still has two pets, while the owner is left with only himself.

In this time of crisis, countless viewers sighed, the farm friends were disheartened, and even the Paw Patrol, who believed in them the most, sighed.

In this most desperate moment, it raised its head and roared, striding confidently onto the battle stage.

With an invincible and unstoppable force, it defeated the opponent's second pet, and then fought fiercely with the third pet for a long time, almost to the point that the battlefield was about to collapse.

Until finally unleashing the [Wind Vortex Smash], the opponent was forced to retreat repeatedly, thus securing the victory.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, under the spotlight, and witnessed by tens of millions of viewers, it successfully defeated the two pets of its opponents, winning the final championship of the Donghuang Tournament for its owner!
At that moment, colorful flags fluttered, fireworks burst, and cheers nearly lifted the entire stadium.

At that moment, the master hugged him, the eldest sister bowed her proud head to him, the morning and evening flower fairies danced around him, and all the pets were completely convinced of his worth.

From now on, it will be the boss of the farm, the strongest entity.

At this moment, it is the chosen one, and the only one.

“Ahhh.”

Cola kept her eyes tightly closed, unconsciously making incomprehensible mutterings, but her raised eyebrows and wide-open mouth revealed her joy at that moment.

Hehehe, I'm the boss.

Hehehe, I really am the most powerful and useful one.

So you're the boss, huh? From now on, you'll listen to Cola the boss!

"Ouch!"

Just then, Cola suddenly felt something biting its tail. Anger surged into its heart, and it abruptly opened its eyes and stood up.

Who dares to assassinate the First Dog of the Eastern Empire?!
But when Cola looked ahead, a petite figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

"Ow?"

Sprite was biting Coke's tail hard, but the sudden anger of Coke startled it, and it took several steps back before finally sitting down on the ground with a dazed and confused look at the sober Coke.

"Ow"

Upon seeing Sprite, Cola's eyes softened instantly, and his anger vanished like smoke.

When Sprite finally got up from the carpet, the two dogs, one big and one small, stood together, looked at each other, and simultaneously barked, "Woof woof!"

Hey bro, I just had a really wonderful dream!
Cola Boss, the big sister has broken through!
Cola was about to launch into a long tale of her beautiful dream when she suddenly realized something and looked down at Sprite, her eyes wide and her fluffy tail taut as if it were a long line.

"Ouch?!"

What? The boss has broken through?

Cola sensed something and suddenly turned to look out the window—a golden-red figure soared high in the sky, its dazzling light illuminating the mountains.

At this moment, this is the sun rising high above the Qinling Mountains.

Cola fell into a long silence.

But compared to the complex emotions of Coke, Chen Yuan was overjoyed as he gazed at the freely soaring sparks.

When Chen Yuan woke up this morning, he felt a significant change in his physical condition. He could feel a surge of power flowing through his body when he clenched his fists.

Upon opening the data panel, it turned out that Spark had broken through to the fourth tier.

It took Spark nearly two months to go from the third to the fourth order, a process that can only be described as lengthy.

Throughout this long process, Chen Yuan and the little guys went through a lot. Fortunately, thanks to his nurturing and training, as well as Spark's own efforts, its level has always remained far ahead.

After deciding to participate in the Donghuang Conference, Chen Yuan's first goal was to make Spark a breakthrough.

In just one week, Spark successfully achieved this goal, a speed that greatly surprised Chen Yuan.

With its Morning Star quality and fourth-tier strength, Chen Yuan, who had not yet met outstanding beast tamers from other provinces and cities, did not know whether Spark's strength could be considered invincible among the participating beasts. However, he was very clear about one thing—when the Flame Surge erupted, every opponent could feel that despair-inducing scorching aura.

Chen Yuan eagerly awaited this day.

But before that, let Spark test her strength after the breakthrough and let the farm kids see her current power firsthand, so as to motivate them to train hard.

Looking around, Runrun Duck was fast asleep, its eyes closed and mouth wide open, slumped under a tree. Chen Yuan looked away expressionlessly.

Let's not talk about ducks anymore.

Electric Flying Cat's reaction was roughly the same: it first marveled at how powerful the boss was and how safer the farm was, then looked away.

As for training hard with this goal in mind, it's an impossible thing for Electric Flying Cat.

Rather than training hard, it prefers to send its longing to distant places in the quiet of the night.

Looking around, only the reactions of the Fallen Horned Beast and the Iron-Headed Boy satisfied Chen Yuan the most.

"Roar"

The Fallen Horned Beast raised its head and stared at the leader, who exuded a powerful aura, for a long time, its eyes shining with a strange light.

"Kick!"

Ironhead Boy's eyes were sharp, and his fighting spirit burst forth. He stared intently at the leader who was displaying invincible style, and suddenly swung his sharp blade forward.

A chilling light suddenly erupted, and a powerful aura burst forward, instantly creating a deep trench in the ground.

But Ironhead shook his head.

Not enough, far from enough.

It can't keep up with the leader's pace, let alone split a mountain in two.

train!

effort!

A record can deceive you, and praise can blind you; only the sweat shed through hard work will forge true strength.

"If the Frost Giants were here, they would be inspired too," Chen Yuan muttered.

But the Frost Giant got up early to go to the construction site to start his work for the day, and unfortunately missed this scene.

"Ow!"

The sudden barking of a dog pulled him back to reality. Chen Yuan looked ahead and saw that Sprite had woken up the fast-sleeping Cola.

Cola ran into the yard, looked up and stared, the boss's domineering posture was deeply imprinted in her mind at that moment.

Its eyes held a complex expression, and it remained silent for a long time.

Chen Yuan keenly sensed Kele's emotional fluctuations and said gently, "It's alright, you'll break through soon too."

Coca-Cola is also just one step away from a breakthrough; who knows, it might bring this good news one morning when it wakes up.

When Spark folded its wings and slowly landed in the yard, all the little guys except Cola gathered around, cheering all around.

The boss is invincible!
The boss lady reigns supreme in the Qinling Mountains!
Cola silently watched this scene, its eyes subtly turning serious. It took half a step forward, a sudden gust of wind rose around it, and its aura surged: "Awooo!"

Boss, I challenge you!
For a moment, the courtyard was silent.

Meeting the complex gazes of the crowd, Cola's eyes shone brightly, and his demeanor was high-spirited.

Although the leader has made a breakthrough first, it is not impossible for it to compete with her.

Spark glanced at the battle-ready Cola, then looked away and quietly looked at Chen Yuan beside her. At the same time, Cola also cast a requesting glance at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He fully understood Cola's emotional state at that moment.

Cola had always considered Spark as its target, and thought that the distance between the two was constantly narrowing. However, when Spark broke through first, the already objectively existing gap was expanded infinitely again.

Cola hopes to understand the gap between the two through a match and strive to improve based on that goal.

Chen Yuan agreed with the idea, but a worry crept into his mind: if Cola were to challenge Spark now, she would probably suffer a serious setback and be depressed for several days.

No, we need to find a way to satisfy both sides.

Chen Yuan looked around, then his eyes lit up and he said loudly, "You all come along and experience Spark's current strength for yourselves."

After a brief pause, he added with a smile, "If we encounter another equally powerful pet in the future, we won't be so panicked."

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a storm in the hearts of the little ones.

"Electricity?"

Electric Flying Cat raised its paw and pointed at its head, its face full of disbelief.

what?
You want me to fight the boss?
Upon seeing the farmer nod, Electric Flying Cat couldn't help but glance at the composed leader, remaining silent for a long time. Then, it flew to the sleeping duck, shook it vigorously, and once the duck woke up, quickly informed it of the astonishing news.

"Gah!?"

Runrun Duck's eyes widened infinitely, almost popping out of their sockets. Then it shook its head violently at an extremely fast speed, even crossing its wings in a gesture of refusal.

Duck refuses!

Ducks don't fight!
Runrun Duck shook off Electric Flying Cat's claws and rushed towards the fishpond without looking back. With a light leap, it jumped in and disappeared amidst the splashing water.

"Electricity!"

Electric Flying Cat gritted its teeth, its cheeks flashing with electricity.

We have a traitor in our midst!

Chen Yuan was not surprised by Ya Ya's actions. He strode forward and grabbed Dian Dian Flying Cat by the scruff of its neck to prevent it from escaping.

"Electricity!"

The electric flying cat's limbs thrashed about wildly, but it dared not release electricity in front of the farmer, so it gradually lowered its submissive head.

Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked around—the Fallen Horned Beast was full of fighting spirit, Iron-Headed Kid was sharpening his knife, Cola had piercing eyes, Morning and Evening Flower Fairy looked helpless, and Sprite was carrying Egg.
Wait, how did these two little guys get in here?

Spark's mere breath of heat could render them unconscious.

So Chen Yuan held Sprite in his right hand and lifted Eggs in his left, carrying them away from the area, and solemnly instructed, "You two little guys can watch, but don't get too close."

Then, Chen Yuan waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's go outside and fight."

The yard was too small for the little guys to maneuver, so Chen Yuan led his large group to the designated battle area outside the farm.

Blue team member: Spark.

Red team members: Cola, Ironhead, Electric Flying Cat, Fallen Horned Beast, Morning and Evening Flower Fairy.

Spectators: Sprite, Egg, the Wood Spirit Mouse family, and several chicks.

Referee: Chen Yuan.

Looking at the lineups alone, the red team undoubtedly has a numerical advantage and is much stronger on paper.

Cola and Ironhead can serve as the main attackers, Fallen Horned Beast is undoubtedly the tank, Electric Flying Cat's role is to harass through sneak attacks, and Morning and Evening Flower Fairy provides support from the side.

This lineup is perfect, taking care of every aspect. Combined with the little guys' own strength, they can easily handle a medium-sized pet beast group.

Unfortunately, their opponent was Spark, who had broken through to the fourth tier.

The difference between third-order and fourth-order is like heaven and earth.

The so-called numerical advantage is actually insignificant in the face of an absolute gap in strength.

"Alright, let's begin." Chen Yuan looked around and, seeing that both sides were ready, loudly announced the start of the match.

A cold wind swept by, but the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Electric Flying Cat looked up at the leader, who was hovering high in the air, and then immediately looked away. It silently took a few steps back and protected its companions in front of it.

Hurry up!

I'll back you up!

The Fallen Horned Beast hesitated, Iron-Headed Boy slowly raised his sharp blade, Morning and Evening Flower Fairy flew upwards, and Cola roared fearlessly, taking the lead in starting the melee.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and countless wind blades gathered around Cola, each carrying a sharp aura, sweeping towards the boss like a tidal wave!

Cola dared not hold back in front of the boss and went all out.

"Kick!"

Ironhead Boy's eyes narrowed, and he launched an attack immediately afterward.

It swung its sharp blade upwards, and a cold, piercing light suddenly burst forth, creating shockwaves and sparks wherever it went!

"roar~"

The Fallen Horned Beast stomped the ground, and sharp stones emerged from the ground, along with sparks that shot continuously into the air.

"Yingying~"

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy first nodded politely to the leader, then waved her hand lightly, summoning countless crimson bombs to bombard the area!
At that moment, all sorts of energy waves erupted towards the spark, sweeping in from all directions and compressing all its escape range.

The Electric Flying Cat, hiding at the very back, had its eyes gleaming, waiting for its chance to strike.

"Chirp~"

Spark's eyes remained calm as it watched the skills surge towards it. Suddenly, it flapped its wings, which emitted golden flames, and opened its mouth to create an extremely thick golden-red pillar of fire!
boom!
A surge of terrifying energy erupted instantly, carrying heat waves and penetrating the air currents, causing the surrounding temperature to soar and even the air to become incredibly hot.

Sparks erupted with a powerful aura from within, an aura that nearly frightened the Electric Flying Cat hiding at the very back.

"Electricity."

Electric Flying Cat trembled with fear and dared not approach.

Rumble!
At the same moment,

The scorching pillar of fire met the little guys' attacks head-on, and the deafening explosions echoed through the sky. The violent collisions kicked up a mushroom-shaped cloud of black smoke.

The event was grand and spectacular, with the enormous sound echoing for a long time in the nearby valleys.

Chen Yuan slightly raised his eyes and observed carefully—the scorching pillar of fire pierced through the black smoke and surged down from the sky. Its momentum did not decrease but increased, and in an instant, it accurately hit the Fallen Horned Beast that could not dodge in time!

boom!
Another loud bang, and the Fallen Horned Beast was engulfed by the raging flames. The enormous impact easily shattered its proud and super strong defense, and a painful burning sensation spread throughout its body.

"Roar"

Unable to bear the excruciating pain, the Fallen Horned Beast instinctively let out a muffled groan.

Under the horrified gaze of Electric Flying Cat, the massive body of the Fallen Horned Beast swayed from side to side before crashing heavily onto the snow.

The raging fire that spread throughout his body continued to burn and surge on the snow, its bright flames reflected in his eyes.

"Electricity."

Electric Flying Cat secretly swallowed, suddenly realizing that Runrun Duck's choice was absolutely correct.

Fighting the boss is tantamount to suicide!
When the Fallen Horned Beast crashed to the ground, the other little creatures were stunned for a moment, then launched an even fiercer attack in unison.

They cannot be defeated one by one by the leader.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he shook his head: "The outcome is already decided."

Even the thick-skinned, fleshy Fallen Horned Beast, which has excellent resistance to fire-type moves, was instantly killed by a single blow, let alone these creatures.

The outcome of this battle is already predetermined.

As expected, the little guys fell one after another in the following time. First, the graceful Morning and Evening Flower Fairy was targeted, then the formidable Iron-Headed Kid attacked, and then the most eager to fight, Cola.

Once all three little guys had fallen to the ground, Spark flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of Electric Flying Cat. The surging flames were like a ferocious fire giant that almost devoured the latter.

"Electricity."

Electric Flying Cat shuddered and quickly raised its paws in a surrender gesture.

The boss is awesome!
The boss lady rules the farm!
I am the boss's most loyal follower!
As a result, the blue team's Spark easily won the melee, and all the red team members except for Electric Cat were lying on the ground, making for an extremely tragic scene.

Looking at this result, Chen Yuan was filled with emotion.

After breaking through to the fourth tier, Spark's strength was substantially enhanced, making it vastly different from its state yesterday.

Despite having a numerical advantage, it easily won due to its superior strength.

This battle also proved a point: a fourth-tier pet can easily defeat several third-tier pets, and that's far from the limit.

Only a fourth-tier pet can defeat another fourth-tier pet.

In such a vast country as Donghuang, how many fourth-tier pet beasts can be found nowadays?
Thoughts flashed by, and Chen Yuan looked ahead, silently watching Kele struggle to get up.

Cola stood silently in place, looking up at the boss, who was like the sun over the Qinling Mountains, with an expression more complicated than ever before.

After an unknown amount of time, it drooped its head listlessly, even its bushy tail drooping to the ground.

Chen Yuan fell silent for a moment.

It seems that having the little ones fight against the sparks together actually caused Cola more severe psychological trauma.

This disparity in combat power is truly enough to drive a dog to despair.

He pursed his lips, slowly walked to Cola's side, and quietly said, "Seeing the gap gives you the motivation to catch up. You are not entirely without a competitor."

He paused, then looked up at Cola, who was gradually raising her head, and said with a slight smile, "Now that Spark has broken through, you will soon be able to too."

"Maybe tomorrow."

"In short, recognizing and facing the gap is the beginning of becoming stronger."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said loudly, "How about this, we'll go into the mountains tomorrow to start our pre-competition training!"

"Cola, you're the star of this special training."

"Ow!"

Cola's eyes lit up, and she pounced on Chen Yuan.
