Chapter 681: Chapter 682: Breeding Room_1

"A special move? The limit of the training device we were given can only withstand Elite Level power, right?"

Qi Chen looked at Xiao Ji perched atop Feng Yuan’s head with some confusion. He thought Feng Yuan was referring to "Coming of the Future" and "Incarnation of Power," but Agunas knew that Feng Yuan meant the move Xiao Ji grasped during the great battle in Nanyu City—the one that summoned Death Series meteors. That kind of move, imbued with the authority of Divine Beasts, was definitely beyond what the giveaway exercise device could handle.

Even the Alliance’s training devices could scarcely withstand such Rule Level attacks. Thinking of this, Agunas looked at Xiao Ji, who was sitting on Feng Yuan’s head looking around, with some surprise. It hadn’t expected this unique Divine Beast, haphazardly tinkered with by Feng Yuan, to have such high combat potential. At least Agunas was certain that it couldn’t have grasped that special Divine Beast Technique in such a moment.

"A training device, huh? I didn’t even notice this good thing. Brother, don’t worry, I’ll definitely get it for you. Of course..."

Qi Xiaoshuang said with a snicker, looking at Qi Chen and shaking her head amusedly,

"No need, Ah Mu doesn’t need to chase such a small gap."

"Most Beast Tamers can bring out ninety percent of their potential, but the remaining ten percent requires ten times the effort to be fully unearthed."

"Yanlan, you’re here too?"

Qi Chen turned around in surprise upon hearing the voice. Dou Yanlan appeared behind everyone, cradling Cotton, and Qi Xiaoshuang, seeing Dou Yanlan, grabbed her hand and asked,

"Do you want to try it out together?"

Dou Yanlan replied with a slight smile,

"No need, I’m not interested in it. Besides..."

Touching Cotton in her arms, Dou Yanlan said,

"The training device is of no use to Cotton."

"Really?"

After glancing at Cotton, Feng Yuan said with incredulity,

"Is it... planning to surpass evolutionary limits?"

Feng Yuan could see that Cotton had reached its evolutionary limits yet was still accumulating energy, seemingly preparing to break through its own power limits.

"It seems so."

Dou Yanlan said with a bit of distress. Surpassing evolution meant a Spirit Beast preserving its current form while directly breaking through its limits, and because its appearance doesn’t change, some moves that are only learnable after evolution become unattainable. However, the benefit is that the form stays the same while the potential limit increases.

This method of evolution was not only incredibly difficult but also very painful for Spirit Beasts, as it meant forcibly breaking through one’s own limits. Dou Yanlan said in a low voice while stroking Cotton,

"I’ve tried to talk it out of it, but..."

Agunas, somewhat puzzled, was saying something to Cotton. Given Cotton’s obstinate demeanor, Feng Yuan didn’t think Agunas could persuade it.

Moreover, if it was the Spirit Beast’s own choice, in Feng Yuan’s view, there was no point in trying to stop it. After a while, Agunas looked at Dou Yanlan with a wry smile and said,

"It wants to help you save materials."

Dou Yanlan was taken aback and didn’t respond right away. Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Cotton in Dou Yanlan’s arms and said,

"Is it because surpassing evolution cannot utilize any materials?"

As a way to evolve beyond oneself, surpassing evolution cannot take advantage of any materials or props and only relies on the Spirit Beast’s own power to break through. It indeed saves materials more than any other method of evolution.

Seeing Cotton nod, Feng Yuan rubbed Cotton’s head, causing it to bare its teeth at Feng Yuan and make a warning sound.

"What are you thinking? Even if Yanlan doesn’t have those materials, Qi Chen does~"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen blushed, exchanged glances, and then looked away. Qi Xiaoshuang nodded and said,

"Right, my brother certainly isn’t short on such materials."

While Qi Chen’s family wasn’t particularly wealthy, they were nonetheless a comfortable household—wasteful spending was out of the question, but a set of Common Level materials for a common Spirit Beast’s evolution really wasn’t much.

Seeing Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan stammering, not knowing what to say, Feng Yuan pulled Qi Xiaoshuang aside with a snicker,

"You guys can discuss it on your own; we’re going to register~"

Cotton looked somewhat puzzled at Dou Yanlan, then at Qi Chen, its little brain still not quite understanding what was happening.

"As expected, most of them are just here to watch the excitement."

Entering the inside of the breeding house, Feng Yuan looked around the spacious hall and sighed. Qi Xiaoshuang nodded and said,

"Of course, even with a gift, you still have to pass the assessment."

"Are you really okay?" Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and asked. Even though it was just a minor assessment, the knowledge involved was not trivial at all. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few people daring to take on the challenge. They were broadcasting the exam live, and without some real ability, one might end up quite embarrassed.

Looking at those around her who were looking around, Qi Xiaoshuang patted her chest and said, "I should be fine. Those little issues can’t stump me~"

"That’s good to know. I was worried that you might need me to help you cheat the entire time~"

Casting a sidelong glance at Feng Yuan, Qi Xiaoshuang said indignantly, "I’m not that shameless. What would be the point of doing that?"

Feng Yuan smiled and didn’t explain, bustling about the breeder’s place with Xiao Ji, wreaking havoc everywhere. Because of the event, the breeder’s place was not open for business today, so the counters were unstaffed.

"These things seem to be in order."

Although it wasn’t open, the merchandise displayed on the counters was not put away. One reason was that it wasn’t particularly valuable, and another was that no one would be foolish enough to steal from the Alliance’s breeder’s place, especially during an event like this. Anyone who tried would likely be caught by the Alliance’s enforcers before they got very far.

"In that case, I guess I’ll need to come again when I’m off duty."

Looking at the items on the counters, Feng Yuan murmured under his breath. Noticing someone observing him from a distance, Feng Yuan turned around with some confusion and saw Granny Mianlan sizing him up.

"Granny, you’re here too~"

Glancing at Xiao Ji perched on Feng Yuan’s head, Granny Mianlan asked with a hint of confusion, "Where’s the Dreaming Dragon Baby?"

"I sent it home. It should be in Sleepy Dragon Valley by now."

Nodding, Granny Mianlan didn’t say much else, only looking at Feng Yuan and asking, "Are you here to participate in this event too?"

"Hehe~ I’m quite interested in that prize~"

"The training device? That doesn’t seem to quite fit your personality..."

Granny Mianlan looked at Feng Yuan puzzledly. That device was generally used by Spirit Beast Tamers to tap into the last ten percent of a spirit beast’s potential. For most spirit beasts, it was meaningless, and in her mind, Feng Yuan wasn’t someone who pursued beasts strong to the extreme.

Thinking about the others in the Alliance, Granny Mianlan sighed and said, "Are you facing some kind of trouble? If you trust me, why not talk about it? Perhaps I can help you."

Feng Yuan regarded Granny Mianlan with a puzzled look and replied, "Nothing of the sort. What kind of trouble could there be that I can’t handle~"

"But why then..."

Granny Mianlan thought Feng Yuan must be hiding some difficulty. Stroking Xiao Ji on his head, Feng Yuan smiled and said, "It’s for its sake. Granny, you don’t know, Xiao Ji..."

Listening to Feng Yuan talk about Xiao Ji, Granny Mianlan unconsciously smiled. After his explanation, she understood that it wasn’t that Feng Yuan wanted his spirit beasts to undergo extreme training, but rather that Xiao Ji itself might enjoy that sort of training.

Seeing the excited Xiao Ji on Feng Yuan’s head, Granny Mianlan laughed and said, "A battle enthusiast, huh? I didn’t expect your companion to have such a personality. You’re going to have quite the time in the future."

"Hehe~"

Feng Yuan scratched the back of his head and offered no rebuttal. Given his personality, he preferred a laid-back approach. Training and such were too remote for him. For the spirit beasts that followed him, unless there were serious deficiencies in certain areas, he wouldn’t train them specifically.

Agunas swished its tail and looked at Feng Yuan, not knowing whether his approach was right or wrong, but at least it seemed that the spirit beasts quite liked Feng Yuan that way.

"It’s so challenging..."

Coming out of the examination room, Qi Xiaoshuang said with some concern. Although she was confident about passing, if just an event had such complex material, the knowledge actual Spirit Beast Breeders had to learn was probably much more.

"Anyway, you’re just here for the experience. Passing will be good enough, right?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Xiaoshuang and told her, nodding. Qi Xiaoshuang held the milk tea Feng Yuan handed her and sipped it slowly, although she didn’t quite understand how he managed to bring it in.
