Chapter 1320: Chapter 1321: Battle

After dealing with the ingredients, Feng Yuan began preparing dinner. Just then, Belusir walked over. Upon seeing the human form of Belusir, Feng Yuan smiled and said:

"How are you? Feeling better?"

Belusir glanced at Feng Yuan, smiled softly, and replied:

"Thank you. Let me help you."

"Uh, okay then. You can make Veronia-style pan-fried rabbit. Uh, its flavor is a bit... unique..."

Listening to Feng Yuan explain the details, Belusir smiled faintly. It recalled the days when it traveled with those humans. Perhaps, it was time to embrace a new life.

"Huff, I’m stuffed! Xiao Ji, let’s go and see if there’s anyone nearby willing to spar."

After finishing dinner, Feng Yuan patted his stomach and looked at Xiao Ji, saying. Xiao Ji, who was still eating, paused for a moment, glanced at the food on its plate, and seemed a bit hesitant. Agunas shot a glance at Feng Yuan and said with mild irritation:

"You’re full, but it hasn’t finished eating yet. Is there really a need to rush?"

"Hehe~"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan walked to stand behind Xiao Ji and scratched its back, saying:

"You eat faster, alright? I’ll wait for you over there."

Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan and couldn’t help but accelerate its eating. Qi Chen took a quick look at Feng Yuan and sighed slightly. Was this guy eating so quickly earlier just because he wanted to spar as soon as possible? But wasn’t he someone who didn’t like fighting?

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan’s retreating figure with confusion and asked:

"What’s up with him?"

"Maybe he’s thought of some interesting tactic?"

Recalling something, Qi Chen speculated. The last time Feng Yuan was so enthusiastic about sparring seemed to be about Xiao Ji’s energy weapon. Had he discovered something new and interesting now? However, Xiao Ji indeed had some oddities. The abilities it had learned were all over the place. Even Qi Chen couldn’t be certain whether Feng Yuan’s Xiao Ji would suddenly come up with some weird ultimate move.

"An interesting tactic?"

Sharing a look with Najia, Yang Hongzhi found the situation rather strange. Feng Yuan? Using tactics? Nearby, Xiao Ji listened to Qi Chen and Yang Hongzhi’s words and began eating even more quickly. Veronia glanced at Xiao Ji with some confusion. This little guy hadn’t learned any new ultimate moves recently, right?

But then, it couldn’t be ruled out. Xiao Ji had a unique ability to comprehend things, and Veronia couldn’t be sure if Xiao Ji had truly figured out some new ultimate move on its own.

"Are you looking to spar with us?"

A girl adorned with petals of Flowing Bloom asked, puzzled as she looked at Feng Yuan and his eagle-shaped companion, Xiao Ji. Feng Yuan nodded and said:

"Yes, would that be alright?"

"Well, what’s its skill level?"

Unable to identify Xiao Ji as any specific type of Spirit Beast, the girl tentatively asked. While generally, people looked for opponents of the same skill level, it wasn’t uncommon for someone either overly confident or seeking a challenge to opt for stronger or weaker opponents.

She couldn’t determine which type Feng Yuan was, so she chose to inquire first.

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan smiled faintly and replied:

"Good Level. What do you think?"

"That should be fine. How about over there? Do you need illumination?"

Noticing that Feng Yuan and company seemed to be travelers from the Divine Land Region, the girl smiled and asked. Her Flowing Bloom was already accustomed to night battles, but she didn’t know how well the eagle-shaped Spirit Beast could perform in nighttime combat. While Spirit Beasts resembling eagles typically had decent night vision capabilities, it wasn’t always certain.

"No need, but if you think it’s necessary, Agunas should be able to assist~"

Saying this, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas nearby. Agunas swished its tail without protest. It was capable of using several moves to illuminate an area, which posed no problem.

"One-on-one, Beastmaster duel begins!"

The girl’s companion acted as referee and announced the start of the bout. Xiao Ji immediately flew into the night sky. Though Flowing Bloom was adept at night combat, locating a black eagle in the dark night was indeed an unreasonable challenge. But that didn’t matter.

"Dona! Attack directly!"

Deploying a green barrier, the girl commanded. In the park designated for battles, targeting Beastmasters wasn’t prohibited. In fact, Beastmaster-targeted attacks were a common occurrence.

Smirking faintly, nine small shields began floating around Feng Yuan. Raising his hand, he blocked the incoming green energy beam with a massive black shield.

In the sky, although Xiao Ji seemed impatient, it didn’t rush to dive down. It was still seeking an opening, and Feng Yuan borrowing some of its strength reassured Xiao Ji that he didn’t need to worry about him.

"Spirit Beast weapon, is it? Dona! Launch an attack from the ground!"

"Hey! Isn’t that a bit sneaky?"

Jumping upwards, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but shout. The girl chuckled lightly and said:

"In a real battle, is there even such a thing as sneaky or not? Catch this!"

At some point, a green longbow appeared in her hand. In the next moment, green arrows shot toward Feng Yuan. At this moment, with nothing to stabilize himself mid-air, he was seemingly an easy target. But that’s where the usual understanding of combat fell apart. Seeing the vines lashing upward toward him, Feng Yuan waved his hand, and the nine floating shields disassembled, combining behind him to form mechanical wings.

With a burst of black energy propulsion, Feng Yuan shot upwards, narrowly dodging the attack.

"This feels like cheating!"

Seeing the mechanical wings on Feng Yuan’s back, the girl couldn’t help but exclaim. What kind of Spirit Beast weapon was this? Could it really morph into so many different forms? Was this truly a Spirit Beast weapon?

"Hehe~ This is a Spirit Beast weapon exclusive to Xiao Ji~"

Smiling smugly, Feng Yuan descended. Although Xiao Ji’s Spirit Beast weapon could morph freely, the wing form required all the shield pieces to be used. In this state, there was no way for him to conjure any other weapons unless he utilized his own abilities.

But that would be pointless. If he relied solely on his own power, there would be no need for a fight at all. Just as the girl and Flowing Bloom’s attention was fully fixated on Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji seized the moment in the skies above. Its body ignited with a ghostly blue flame as it dove downward.

The blue Firebird pierced through the night, crashing directly into Flowing Bloom. A special deep-purple powder exploded unexpectedly, stunning the spectators for a second. Feng Yuan glanced at Flowing Bloom and smirked proudly at Xiao Ji.

Instead of pulling up after nearing the ground, Xiao Ji collided directly with Flowing Bloom while surrounded in flame. This maneuver not only inflicted the standard damage of Flame Dive but also tremendous physical damage due to the sheer force of the dive. However, it resulted in considerable harm to Xiao Ji as well.

"Wait, is that Deep Violet Flower’s pollen? How could you have something like this?"

Looking at Xiao Ji’s rapidly recovering wounds, the girl froze for a moment. Deep Violet Flower was a special Spiritual Medicine that could quickly heal physical damage dealt to Death-type Spirit Beasts. Yet earlier, she hadn’t seen Xiao Ji equipped with anything of the sort.

"This is... transformation?"

Agunas gazed at the Baiyu Flower tucked on top of Ah Mu’s head and remarked in astonishment. So, when had Xiao Ji learned this trick?

"It’s not the Deep Violet Flower, but impressive."

The girl now noticed that although Xiao Ji’s injuries were recovering quickly, it wasn’t to the extent seen with genuine Deep Violet Flowers. If it had been the real thing, Xiao Ji would already have been completely healed, rather than this incomplete recovery where only most wounds had closed.

Meanwhile, the purple powder in the air dissipated like fading Starfire, a phenomenon inconsistent with authentic Deep Violet Flower pollen behavior.

"Hehe~ How’s this combination ultimate move?"

Looking smugly at the severely injured Flowing Bloom, Feng Yuan bragged. The girl glanced at Feng Yuan and retorted:

"Don’t get cocky; the match isn’t over yet."

Flowing Bloom struggled to rise. Bright green light radiated as beautiful flowers bloomed under it. Plant-type Spirit Beasts almost universally possessed rapid recovery abilities, and Flowing Bloom was no exception. However, it had underestimated Xiao Ji’s destructive power.

Spreading its wings, Xiao Ji didn’t wait for the Deep Violet pollen to dissipate completely. Instead, it whipped up ghostly blue flames into a raging wind. Although Flowing Bloom was using its ultimate move to recover, the effort couldn’t keep pace with the damage inflicted by the fiery wind. Before long, Feng Yuan shouted:

"Enough! Xiao Ji! Stop!"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s command, Xiao Ji hesitated but ceased its attack. Only then did the group notice that the barely-standing Flowing Bloom collapsed after the winds subsided. Feng Yuan quickly turned to Agunas and said:

"Lend a hand~"

Swishing its tail, Agunas remained silent. It raised a small claw, and Rain of Life began to drizzle softly. Watching Flowing Bloom recover rapidly, the girl and her companion marveled at Agunas.
