Chapter 1318: Chapter 1319: Leaving for the Battle Park

"Battle Park, huh? Sounds fun. My two little guys haven’t had proper training yet~"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s comment, Veronia spoke playfully. Feng Yuan looked at her helplessly and said,

"You haven’t given up yet, have you? Never mind, if you really want to participate in the Beast Taming Tournament, I won’t stop you. Just don’t get into a fight with Agunas."

"It? That little crocodile can’t handle me."

Shooting a provocative glance at Agunas, Veronia said smugly. Agunas swished its tail and replied,

"I’m just trying to avoid trouble. I have no objection to you entering the Beast Taming Tournament, but don’t meddle in the regional competition."

"Why not? It’s quite interesting~"

Running her hand through her golden hair, Veronia looked at Agunas and said. At this moment, a woman in a flowing white dress following behind her hesitated and said,

"They... probably won’t let you join, given the age limit."

Seeing the graceful black-haired woman in the white dress, Qi Chen and his companions froze for a moment before realizing—that uniquely extraordinary aura, they had only ever seen it on Belusir. Could this be Belusir’s human form?

"Hmm? That’s not important! Besides, my age, by Divine Beast standards, isn’t old at all~"

Listening to Veronia’s shameless remark, Agunas rolled its eyes. Long Boduo curiously asked,

"Divine Beasts don’t even count age, right? If we’re talking about existence time, aren’t you older than me? Ow! That hurts!"

Clutching his head, the young Long Boduo quickly hid behind Feng Yuan. He knew well that Veronia wouldn’t dare act out in front of Feng Yuan, who had the power to keep her in check. Glancing at Long Boduo, Veronia angrily retorted,

"Don’t spout nonsense on my behalf!"

"Tch! You’ve been around longer than I have!"

Poking his head out to quip, Long Boduo ducked back behind Feng Yuan again. Amused by the scene, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and said,

"Alright, don’t worry about it. But if you want to enter the Beast Taming Tournament, how will you handle your identity? We can forge something for you, but it won’t fool the Alliance."

Even if Veronia altered her appearance, so what? With her two so-called ’beasts’ being so weak, it would always come down to her stepping in personally. When that happens, unleashing nothing but Divine Beast Techniques, any sane referee from the Alliance would easily realize she’s a Divine Beast.

As for the folks from Great Xia? Would they turn a blind eye to something suspicious and not investigate? Especially since Liao Yu and Feng Yuan were on pretty good terms. If they truly suspected a Divine Beast was up to something, wouldn’t getting Liao Yu to ask Feng Yuan for help immediately give everything away?

Feng Yuan wasn’t the type to deliberately deceive others over something so trivial.

"This, well, they didn’t explicitly forbid Divine Beast Beastmasters, did they? Let’s just give it a try and see."

Veronia hesitated for a moment before speaking. Concealing her identity was indeed a challenge. If others realized she was a Divine Beast, her opponents might not even dare to continue battling her.

Unlike Divine Pact Makers, most of whom wouldn’t just summon a Divine Beast for help on a whim, confronting a Divine Beast directly? Forget it. None of the competitors in the Beast Taming Tournament are powerful enough to confidently think their beasts could spar with a Divine Beast and walk away in one piece.

"Let’s not dwell on this. How’s your perfume coming along?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan asked. If Veronia was determined to go ahead with it, he couldn’t stop her. However, he was curious to know how the perfume experiment had turned out. Leaning toward Feng Yuan, Veronia grinned and said,

"Haven’t you smelled it yet?"

As Veronia leaned closer, Long Boduo, who was hiding behind Feng Yuan, instinctively backed further away. A peculiar scent wafted over, a lofty and elegant fragrance that made Feng Yuan and his companions pause. Agunas swished its tail but thought better of voicing what it had on its mind.

"You... really are something."

Sighing, Feng Yuan commented. That perfume—perhaps only Veronia could have concocted it. The faint tangy undertone that followed the lofty elegance was something he couldn’t replicate, possibly because he’d once been lucky enough to meet her. Feng Yuan couldn’t help but muse privately.

"Hehe~ Of course~"

With a triumphant twirl, Veronia basked in her self-praise. Belusir silently observed her, saying nothing. Unable to completely discern Veronia’s fate, Belusir naturally didn’t know what she had been through. Perhaps, similar to Belusir, she too had a past she didn’t want to revisit?

After leaving Perfume Manor, the group headed directly toward the Battle Park. Along the way, Long Boduo darted around, collecting an assortment of odd Spiritual Medicines and plants for Agunas to carry. If not for Feng Yuan’s warning, he might have brought back even more bizarre items.

"Speaking of which, why doesn’t Maomu City have a Battle Park? Wouldn’t it make your training more convenient?"

With his hands tucked behind his head, Feng Yuan strolled leisurely as he directed the question to Yang Hongzhi. After thinking for a moment, Yang Hongzhi shook his head and replied,

"No idea. But, yeah, something like that would definitely be nice."

"Probably not feasible. Even in Dantia, there aren’t many of these facilities. Similar places do exist in Great Xia, but Maomu City is too small."

After a brief contemplation, Dou Yanlan spoke with a tinge of regret. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"True, but small cities have their own charm. A place like Shangjing could never give rise to a Stray Spirit Beast Paradise~"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but laugh softly, saying,

"That’s not necessarily true. Just allocate some land on the outskirts, and they could create something far better than what Maomu City has."

"Tch! Outskirts? Why not go even further and just dump it out in the wilderness? The Stray Spirit Beasts in the city stay because they like this place. But then again, I guess Shangjing doesn’t need to worry about this problem. There doesn’t seem to be many stray beasts there anyway."

Clicking his tongue, Feng Yuan spoke dismissively. Belusir interjected,

"Mega cities don’t have space for them to survive. Resources there are much scarcer compared to places like Maomu City."

"That’s true. It’s a shame, though. If Maomu City had a Battle Park, I could take Xiao Ji there to wander around now and then."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s statement, Xiao Ji nodded approvingly. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said exasperatedly,

"If you really want to train, you could just go to Maomu Academy. There are always teachers there, even during the break."

It’s not like there’s some weird rule about only being able to fight one match a day. Qi Chen couldn’t understand why Feng Yuan thought Battle Parks were the only place that could provide training opportunities.

"Well, what teachers can teach is indeed limited. Or rather, facilities like Battle Parks allow encounters with all kinds of Beastmasters. Take you, for instance. Your Ah Mu’s battle techniques aren’t something academy teachers could showcase."

Yang Hongzhi cast a glance at Qi Chen, unable to hold back his comment. After all, the way Qi Chen fought was bizarre and would only be encountered in such battle arenas. As for academy instructors? Not to mention them, even Yang Hongzhi’s own combat style was relatively fixed.

Under such circumstances, continuously training with instructors might not yield as much as just a few visits to a Battle Park.

"You’ll see for yourself later. Just like during the academy assessment, when I fought you. At a Battle Park, your opponents’ combat styles are unpredictable every time."

"That..."

Recalling how Feng Yuan had utterly thrashed him with stealth combat techniques back then, Qi Chen couldn’t help but doubt if others would have similarly strange fighting methods.

After all, most of the Beastmasters he’d encountered were fellow classmates. Although he had witnessed the intricate attack methods of some family heirs during Zhong Liuyan’s banquet matches, he hadn’t paid much heed, assuming it was simply their family heritage.

"Ah Chen, it’s indeed different. But perhaps this is something you’ll only truly understand after experiencing it."

Dou Yanlan said, glancing at Feng Yuan. Even she, despite grasping the concept, hadn’t felt it deeply. She merely reasoned that what they were saying must be correct. Yet seeing how clearly Feng Yuan understood this, she couldn’t help but wonder—when had he been to a place like this?

Xiao Ji rubbed its head affectionately against Feng Yuan, letting out a sweet, saccharine coo. With a helpless smile, Feng Yuan tapped Xiao Ji gently on the nose and said,

"What are you up to now? I already told you, I’ll make sure you get to fight to your heart’s content. Don’t worry. Though, I might need Agunas’ help—otherwise, I’m afraid Xiao Ji might scare off others who won’t dare to spar."

Swishing its tail, Agunas understood Feng Yuan’s concern. Xiao Ji’s attacks were heavy-handed, and if Agunas didn’t use Rain of Life, it was likely to send anyone running off in fear.
