Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Shadow in the Night_1

"By the way, how are Chen Xin and the others doing?"

"Them? It seems they only exhibited Yue Bai’s strength, but they were eliminated on Saturday night by those who took advantage of the chaos to attack."

"It’s a pity, if they had been with us, maybe they would be among the people being watched right now."

Dou Yanlan smiled and glanced at Feng Yuan as she spoke,

"That wouldn’t have happened. After all, for her, taking revenge is the most important thing; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been eliminated so early in the night. As far as I know, at that time, they were near our camp."

"Is that so..."

As they hid on the side and conversed, Dou Yanlan hesitated for a moment but still brought up the matter of the King of Mo Li,

"Will you really go help the King of Mo Li in the future?"

"What about it?"

Feng Yuan looked confusedly at Dou Yanlan, who paused before speaking with a complex expression,

"You should remember what the King of Mo Li has done..."

"Destroyed the Great Li Dynasty at its peak, and also caused the Divine Land Region to plunge into chaos once again. What’s your point?"

"If possible, could you..."

Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Even without me, Mo Li would have done such things. The future has never been certain, but the past is already set in stone. If my not helping him could prevent what happened later, it would mean that a great upheaval would also be happening now. Don’t forget, the disturbance started by Yognot alone caused such a huge change."

"But... I believe you wouldn’t want to become that kind of person... Even if you don’t go back to the past, what should happen would still occur, right?"

"To say so is correct, but... this sudden emergence, it’s hard to say it’s not an omen given to me by Them..."

Feng Yuan sighed deeply and continued,

"Moreover, I’ve already done such things before..."

Shattered planets, vast spatial rifts, countless wailing and twisted faces flashed before Feng Yuan’s eyes. Shaking his head to dispel these memories, he casually picked up a soda next to him and took a big gulp. Seeing Feng Yuan’s actions, Dou Yanlan changed the subject,

"Have you decided which academy you want to go to?"

"Cough, Academy? I plan on attending Maomu Academy, not very interested in others."

"Don’t you think it would be boring to spend your university years in Maomu City?"

"Not really, after all, once my student days are over, I’ll probably be traveling all over."

"Is that so? Actually, we have the same plan."

Feng Yuan looked puzzledly at Dou Yanlan, who said calmly with a smile,

"Don’t worry, we won’t be following you when that time comes. Everyone has their own paths to take."

"Yes, there comes a time for farewells..."

As Feng Yuan spoke, he casually took a drink placed beside him, but his hand seemed to catch something fluffy, which felt oddly familiar. He pinched it curiously and looked at Xiao Ji with a sunny smile,

"Just woke up? Come and eat something."

Xiao Ji turned away angrily, ignoring Feng Yuan. After a while, it sneaked a peek and, seeing Feng Yuan eating, hesitated before rushing into his arms. Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan picked up some food and asked,

"Hungry?"

Seeing Xiao Ji eagerly waiting to be fed by Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan intended to remind him that Xiao Ji had already eaten a lot, but seeing the joy in Xiao Ji’s demeanor, she remained silent and said nothing.

"What’s this?"

Observing Feng Yuan energetically eating, Qi Chen’s first reaction was that she had been deceived by him again. But recalling Feng Yuan’s previous weary appearance, she felt it might not be the case and looked at him in confusion, seeking an explanation. After some thought, he explained,

"I think I was ambushed by someone this afternoon, had a dream, and after I chased that guy away, everything was fine."

"Attacked in your sleep? Dreaming?"

With a sigh, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly,

"There’s no way around it. With the Power of Death limited, I have no good protection against some soul attacks. Of course, that’s also because the other party didn’t intend to cause fatal effects. Otherwise, it would definitely trigger a counterattack."

"Didn’t Agunas stop it?"

"I failed to detect the opponent; I only sensed them briefly when he drove them away,"

Agunas said helplessly, while Feng Yuan leaned against the wall, gazing at the ceiling,

"Agunas’s primary role isn’t combat, so it’s normal for him not to be sensitive to these things."

"Agunas’s primary role isn’t combat?"

Qi Chen felt like Feng Yuan was joking with him. Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"Divine Beasts each have their own duties. Are you trying to say that Nagna is also a combat-strong Divine Beast?"

"Uh... but isn’t Nagna also capable of easily defeating ordinary Spirit Beasts?"

"That’s just a simple matter of rank suppression. Nagna is a Divine Beast, after all. Its power is on a completely different level from that of an ordinary Spirit Beast. But if they were to fight, maybe Big Mushroom could tie with Nagna."

"Big Mushroom?"

Qi Chen looked puzzledly at the Spirit Beast sitting around Feng Yuan, who chuckled and said,

"I’m talking about that Poison Mush we encountered during the Yognot incident. For some reason, history has changed, and they have survived to this day. It is now the Sacred Beast Level Tabimos."

"Sacred Beast Level can tie with Divine Beast Level?"

"Well, considering Nagna is one of the lowest-ranked Divine Beasts in combat strength. Of course, if it were in its Death form, that might be a different story. The Death form might be able to tie with those from Lorraine Tower."

Qi Chen, sitting nearby, curiously turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"What’s the Death form?"

"Divine Beasts generally have more than one form, especially those with distinct tendencies, like Nagna, who is skewed towards healing and support. That means it must have a completely opposite form, which is Nagna’s Death form. In the Death form, however strong the healing and support are in its normal form, that’s how strong the attack will be."

Thinking about Nagna’s terrifying healing abilities, Qi Chen couldn’t help but agree with Feng Yuan that Nagna could tie with those from Lorraine Tower in its Death form.

"Yue Bai? What’s wrong?"

Chen Xin was woken by Yue Bai’s sounds and sat up, somewhat puzzled. Scanning the room, she saw nothing unusual in the dormitory. Yue Bai seemed to be snarling at something. Chen Xin instantly became alert and cautiously walked over to Yue Bai. At this time, only she and Yue Bai were in the dorm; the others had gone to an all-night party and hadn’t returned yet. As Chen Xin moved closer, she followed Yue Bai’s gaze to a shadow that seemed to flash past the window.

"Are you planning to go back and rest now?"

Seeing Feng Yuan getting up to leave, Qi Chen couldn’t help but speak out. Feng Yuan gestured to Xiao Ji, who was dozing off on his head, and said,

"What else? You’re not planning to stay up all night, are you?"

"Didn’t the school adjust tomorrow morning’s class to the weekend so we could celebrate? Just catch up on sleep in the morning~"

A girl nearby said, still not ready to end the evening. After all, Feng Yuan had just been chatting with them, in a rare show of patience for Qi Chen. Ignoring her, he walked away saying,

"Anyway, I’m sleepy. I’m off to rest. Qi Chen, don’t stay up too late either. Look, Dou Yanlan is already tired and she’s still here keeping you company."

Reminded by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen quickly turned his head and saw Dou Yanlan, who, despite being sleepy, shook her head to reassure him. Qi Chen scratched his head in response.

Back at the dormitory, Agunas spoke to Feng Yuan with a certain gravity,

"I need to borrow the Ancient Book, otherwise I can’t guarantee your safety."

"What happened?"

Feng Yuan was a bit puzzled but still casually took out the dark Ancient Book and tossed it to Agunas. As Agunas opened the book and silently muttered something, a pitch-black Barrier suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire dormitory of region two. Feng Yuan placed Xiao Ji on the bed and said,

"I’m going to take a shower. Tell me what happened later. Seriously, if I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to the party. I’m covered in all sorts of weird smells."
