Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1177 - 1178 Problems

"You, I saw all the hints you were dropping just now."

Qi Chen said helplessly, scratching his head as he glanced at Feng Yuan, who was about to justify himself, when Chen Xin’s surprised voice sounded from behind them

"Xu Chengtian? You... What is this?"

Looking at Chen Xin, Xu Chengtian stepped forward and gently soothed the One-leaf Fox, Xiao Gu. He didn’t want to force it to reveal the truth, believing it must have its own difficulties. Seeing Chen Xin looking at him, Feng Yuan shrugged and explained how they got to know Xu Chengtian, and after hearing Feng Yuan’s story, Chen Xin said in a low voice while looking at Xu Chengtian holding Xiao Gu

"I see... to break through the constraints of time for its sake? His perseverance has led to a good outcome..."

"Perseverance?"

Feng Yuan looked at Chen Xin with a face full of curiosity, wanting to know more. Glancing at Xu Chengtian and seeing no objection from him, Chen Xin sighed and said

"Yes, he is somewhat like me... If he hadn’t insisted on choosing it as his Taming Beast, his status wouldn’t be what it is now. After all, he is considered a genius of the Xu Family..."

"Genius? Heh, I’m hardly one."

Xu Chengtian said with a mysterious, cold laugh, while Yue Bai looked at Xiao Gu with some confusion, unable to believe that the One-leaf Fox had yet to evolve; after all, even it had already evolved. Sensing Yue Bai’s confusion, Xiao Gu flicked its fluffy tail, and with a gentle pat of its paw, a verdant Energy Sphere appeared above it and then slowly dissipated after a while.

"Indeed, it possesses Good Level strength."

Upon seeing this, Dou Yanlan said thoughtfully. Before, she had her doubts, but now Xiao Gu had clearly demonstrated Good Level power, although it was one of the weaker ones within the Good Level, it was indeed beyond the potential limit allowed by the One-leaf Fox species.

It was also because of this reason that he hadn’t managed to secure a good position in the recent guidance competition; after all, whether it’s those family descendants or Qi Chen and their companions, basically all of their Taming Beasts had already reached the Good Level, even some of those whose initial Beasts were at the Good Level, had started to touch the edge of the Elite Level.

Perhaps only those students of Feng Yuan who didn’t participate in the academy assessment would have Taming Beasts that are only at the Common Level.

"Will this affect its future? After all, it’s not just exceptionally strong now; it should have evolved already by logic."

Looking worriedly at Xiao Gu, Chen Xin suddenly asked. Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, Chen Xin explained,

"Xu Chengtian was once a genius of the Xu Family... a member among ordinary geniuses, given his spiritual power was enough to sign a Taming Beast Contract with a Good Level Spirit Beast. However, for some reason, he has always insisted on choosing that One-leaf Fox as his Taming Beast, and whatever happened between them, I do not know."

"However, because of this, he couldn’t receive the resource support from the Xu Family. Although his parents understood, it’s just that..."

"Aren’t you also not too bad? You refused to follow the family’s arrangements and made that astounding bet."

Xu Chengtian said, looking at Chen Xin, who shook his head in response,

"I’m not as good as you; at least, I don’t have the courage to give up the family resources..."

The Xu Family is not a small family. Although maybe not as endowed as Zhong Liuyan’s Zhang Family, the resources they can provide could definitely enable their Taming Beasts to develop very well in the early stages, at least entering institutes on the level of Shenhua Academy would not be difficult. Xu Chengtian, however, had chosen to give them up.

"Taking those resources would have meant I couldn’t choose Xiao Gu. If that’s the case, why not give them up."

As Xu Chengtian said in a low voice while holding Xiao Gu, although he might feel regret, what’s done is done, and he wouldn’t continue to dwell on it. But he didn’t put all the pressure on Xiao Gu either. Indeed, Xiao Gu’s growth was somewhat disappointing, but it couldn’t be helped.

The innate potential of the One-leaf Fox isn’t very great; coupled with the innate disadvantage and lack of sufficient resources, it was utterly impossible to catch up with the pace of those family geniuses. As for praying for a miracle? Even though they no longer received resources from the family, the teachings of the past still influenced them, not to vainly hope for ethereal miracles, which was an understanding shared by these family descendants. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Therefore, Qi Chen wasn’t particularly surprised about Xiao Gu encountering the current situation; he was simply worried that Xiao Gu might get hurt. As for strength and such, he had already resigned himself to giving up on it.

"I can’t be as carefree as you."

Shaking her head, Chen Xin said helplessly. Even though she chose Yue Bai herself, it was only because she didn’t have any suitable companions at the time. If she were in Xu Chengtian’s position, she didn’t know whether she would give up her family’s resources like he did.

She probably would, after all... that’s her companion. With that thought, Chen Xin looked at Yue Bai beside her, who raised its head and looked at her with confusion.

"What’s so carefree about that? I don’t even know if I am holding it back."

Holding Xiao Gu, Xu Chengtian murmured softly. Xiao Gu hadn’t evolved yet, and he was naturally very worried. After all, the growth of a Spirit Beast was supposed to be natural. Although one could use Potions and other things to accelerate this growth process, based on the normal development, Xiao Gu should have evolved by now.

Especially since Lorraine Tower took an interest and specifically helped it. Those Divine Beasts may seem to take good care of Spirit Beasts, but that’s only out of a sense of duty. It doesn’t mean they have to do anything for them. If a Spirit Beast has troubles, Divine Beasts may not necessarily lend aid, regardless of whether they are wild or not; they treat all the same. Only those Spirit Beasts favored by them are qualified to receive their help.

Ordinary Spirit Beasts typically don’t have the ability to gain their favor. Xiao Gu must have some special power, but Xu Chengtian himself lacked the ability to help it discover it.

Noticing Xu Chengtian’s dejected look, Xiao Gu struggled in his arms, trying to break free. It climbed onto his shoulder using its small paws to crawl up his clothes, and it whispered into his ear while lightly patting his shoulder as if saying something.

"Apart from that odd strength, it’s no different from an ordinary One-leaf Fox," Agunas said with a glance at Xiao Gu, and Xu Chengtian fell silent for a moment before asking

"Then, why would Lorraine Tower... help it?"

"If it’s hurt or suffers loss because of us, or we’re moved by some of its actions, we would also lend a hand. And it’s not just for Spirit Beasts; humans are the same. We don’t help based on the potential of the Spirit Beasts."

After thinking about it, Agunas explained, and Veronia glanced at Agunas, saying irritably,

"There aren’t that many conditions, either it’s compensation, or we help on a whim when in a good mood; there aren’t so many reasons."

"Acting on one’s own whims while adhering to certain rules, that’s Divine Beasts for you."

Feng Yuan said with a faint smile, reaching out to flick Xiao Gu’s ear. Shaking its head in displeasure, Xiao Gu made a whining sound at Feng Yuan, and after indulging in petting Xiao Gu, Feng Yuan laughed out loud and said,

"If it has any issues, it can come to me. Maybe I can give it some help."

"Could it... be unable to evolve?"

After hesitating for a while, Xu Chengtian asked directly. It was a rare opportunity. Seeing that Feng Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, he wanted to resolve the most important issue first. If Xiao Gu couldn’t evolve, there might be a lot of trouble ahead. Even if it retained its original appearance, surpassing the racial potential limit with a transcendental evolution was also possible, and Xu Chengtian was quite concerned.

"That’s not it, it’s just... it hasn’t sorted out the power within its body well. That energy is too immense, and evolving without complete control is dangerous. However... staying in this form must be troubling for it, right?"

Seemingly guessing something, Feng Yuan gently patted Xiao Gu’s head, but this time it didn’t shake off Feng Yuan’s hand, looking at him pitifully. Xiao Gu made whimpering sounds, and Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan, saying,

"I’ll help it."

After a look at Veronia, Agunas flicked his tail but did not object. Perhaps Feng Yuan could do a better job, but Agunas wasn’t sure if Feng Yuan could really handle that power now. Compared to him, Veronia had more comprehensive abilities and was more suitable for dealing with this matter.
