At the demolished Town Park, the two summoned their pet beasts, but the Guardian Deity stopped the battle before it began.

Youxiong Anlin then fused with his panda and used Armorization to assume a powerful armored monster form, leaving Lu Ran to face his opponent’s full strength as spectators arrived.

After the Divine Pet Rankings settled, he received two tier-one Enhancement Cards as Overlord rewards, and the chapter ended as the Ice King discovered the same reward.

• The Iron-Eating Beast Guardian Deity explained that the Armored Bear might be a Legendary creature’s offspring and showed Lu Ran how to imitate its conception using the Heart Armor and self-hypnosis.
