Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1163 - 1164: Request
Chapter 1163: Chapter 1164: Request
"You’re not thinking of participating, are you? They don’t even know about your ultimate move."
Looking at Veronia, Feng Yuan said speechlessly, Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, divine beasts have their own divine beast techniques, which are not something ordinary spirit beasts can learn. The reason why Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgement wasn’t suspected to be a divine beast technique was merely because of Xiao Ji’s strength, along with some spirit beasts having unique talents that could indeed utilize some rather unique ultimate moves.
As a divine beast that has lived from the Mythical Era to the present day, even Feng Yuan himself wasn’t clear on how many exclusive ultimate moves Veronia actually had. With Veronia being like this, how could those Shangjing Academy teachers help analyze it?
"What does it have to do with me having ultimate moves?"
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia spoke dissatisfiedly. Meanwhile, the guests around were also curious about who this blond woman talking to Feng Yuan was. Could she be a good friend of Zhong Liuyan? But they had never heard of her, and though they wouldn’t deliberately inquire about others’ relationships, with such a distinct characteristic as the woman’s blond hair, if she had a good relationship with Zhong Liuyan, it would be impossible to hide.
"Can’t I let them join?"
Looking at her own little lizard and Droplet Bubble, Veronia spoke to Feng Yuan irritably. Speechless, Feng Yuan didn’t bother to respond further. Droplet Bubble’s strength was limited, and even if it was endowed with the power of the World of Mirrors, it may not necessarily be able to use any strong ultimate moves.
The little lizard’s strength was actually quite good among those of the same level, but since the little lizard was a newly born spirit beast and considering its special wood attribute, its ultimate moves were bound to be somewhat peculiar.
The teachers from Shangjing Academy may not really be able to understand the little lizard’s combat style.
Although Feng Yuan thought it was strange for Veronia to participate in that guidance match, he only mentioned it a few times and then stopped. After all, it was not a very important competition, and a little chaos wouldn’t be a big issue.
Feng Yuan casually picked up a glass of juice and sat down with Xiao Ji and the others, occasionally spotting his classmates arriving. After hearing Zhong Liuyan’s arrangements, most of them were very surprised, given that even for those students who didn’t pass the academy’s assessment, a guidance match hosted by teachers of Shangjing Academy was quite valuable, and in some sense, it was not much different from Drudgeon’s mini-lectures.
At this moment, a male student came up to Feng Yuan to praise Xiao Ji next to him. Glancing at the student, Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said,
"What’s up? Is there something you need my help with?"
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the male student was stunned for a second but quickly recovered with a smile, saying,
"Not at all, I just think that your beast has been trained so impressively by you..."
Listening to the student continue to praise Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan glanced at the somewhat elated Xiao Ji and gently tapped its head, saying,
"Don’t be too proud. ’Unwarranted kindness is either scheming or theft,’ just observe carefully and you will understand."
Agunas flicked its tail, somewhat puzzled. It knew that the male student was probably trying to establish a relationship with Feng Yuan by acting this way, but looking at his behavior, it seemed...
Teasing Droplet Bubble on her shoulder, Veronia looked at the male student and said,
"Do you truly wish to build a relationship with him... or are you trying to use him?"
"This... I..."
Seeing the student blush with a look of embarrassment, Veronia leaned forward and stared into his eyes, saying,
"They may not necessarily be willing to just interact with him, or perhaps... they don’t feel like being in the same circle as him?"
With that, Veronia swept a glance at those who had been in the hall earlier. They were grouped in twos and threes, whispering to each other. Not only were their elegant yet simple suits striking, but their gentlemanly manners also strongly contrasted with those of Feng Yuan’s classmates who had just arrived.
Though they showed no particular reaction, their attitude of ignoring Zhong Liuyan’s classmates already said everything: they disdained to engage in conversation or form any relationship with them.
And Feng Yuan’s behavior was not necessarily better than his classmates’. After all, with his strong power, he didn’t need to bother with any etiquette.
"Those people don’t care about his power because they know he won’t cause trouble without reason. Plus, his behavior doesn’t quite fit in with theirs. You coming over to befriend him now seems to have a less than pure motive~"
With a mysterious smile, Veronia turned to eat the desserts placed on the long table. Since they needed to wait here to gather, many snacks and desserts were prepared. After a long silence, the boy glanced at Feng Yuan and said,
"I would like to... ask for your help..."
Looking at the boy, Feng Yuan said nothing. Although he was somewhat displeased with the direct praise for Xiao Ji, seeing Xiao Ji now staring at the boy as if expecting more praise, he pointed at Xiao Ji’s forehead with a finger and said somewhat amusedly,
"So, someone praises you and you regard them all as good people? While it’s not that you can’t help others, I don’t want you to exchange your precious promises for these cheap things."
He knew that the other party didn’t mean to use Xiao Ji, especially since they didn’t know about Xiao Ji’s identity as a Divine Beast. But if he doesn’t warn Xiao Ji now, who knows what might happen in the future? If Xiao Ji gets deceived easily, that would be troublesome.
Agunas looked speechlessly at Feng Yuan, wondering what use Xiao Ji’s promises at this stage could have. Even if it was a Divine Beast, it currently only had Good Level strength. The likelihood of it being able to help them was not high, since one could guess those people’s extraordinary backgrounds from their attire and behavior alone.
The boy felt somewhat awkward, with Feng Yuan’s words seemingly implying he was a bad person. But if it wasn’t for the fact that Feng Yuan was difficult to approach, those people wouldn’t ignore him, as his identity was somewhat special. Or more accurately, they didn’t dare to say they were nobler than him.
If it were really easy to make contact, they would have welcomed him long ago. Because they were aware of the awkward situation they would face, they didn’t just come up to him shamelessly.
A One-leaf Fox nudged the boy with its head, looking at him with some doubt. The current him seemed different from the one in its memory; at least, the him in its memory would not act so meekly.
Indeed, in the One-leaf Fox’s view, he seemed too submissive in front of Feng Yuan, forgetting that the him in its memory was always full of confidence.
Looking dissatisfied at Feng Yuan, the One-leaf Fox issued a growling warning. Xiao Ji glared at the One-leaf Fox and also made a warning sound. Glancing at the boy, Feng Yuan said with some amusement,
"It seems your companion is quite concerned about you. What, aren’t you going to comfort it?"
The boy crouched down and gently stroked the One-leaf Fox’s back. The One-leaf Fox made a puzzled noise. It didn’t understand why the boy seemed so... easy to bully at this moment?
"You want me to help it? But how could you think that I have that ability?"
With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Feng Yuan looked at the boy with a perplexed expression, saying, "People know I have many Spirit Beasts, or that I’m sheltered by Divine Beasts, even having Agunas with me isn’t strange to me, as these things are obvious. But my ability to train and enhance Spirit Beasts isn’t easy to spot."
Xiao Ji is strong, but that might not be related to training. Moreover, he had almost always let Xiao Ji grow freely before, so under such circumstances, thinking that he had that ability was strange to him.
Looking at Feng Yuan with confusion, Xiao Ji felt that he didn’t seem to be considering its well-being.
"Because of your friend."
While calming it down, the boy said to Feng Yuan, sensing that Feng Yuan didn’t seem as insistent on sending him away as before.
"Oh?"
Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan seemed to understand something. Scratching his head, Qi Chen looked puzzled at Dou Yanlan, who was thoughtfully sizing up the boy and saying,
"Indeed, none of them is simple... He could guess it, probably deducing from Ah Mu’s growth in strength."
Feng Yuan hadn’t taken any high-level Breeder certification exams or anything like that, and Xiao Ji’s situation was very peculiar. To say his ability to treat Spirit Beasts was strong is one thing, but to say training — everyone in their school knew he treated Xiao Ji nearly like a pet, so figuring that out from Xiao Ji was not easy. But Ah Mu was different. At this moment, some of Ah Mu’s abilities had already surpassed species limits, and achieving that was definitely not within Qi Chen’s capabilities.
