Chapter 688: Chapter 689: Unexpected_1

Xiao Ji glared at Feng Yuan with dissatisfaction, tugging at him and Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Drudgeon is teaching right now. Can you please not go and cause trouble? Once the lesson is over, I’ll talk to Drudgeon and ask it to keep an eye out for you, okay?"

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously. It didn’t quite trust Feng Yuan. What if he didn’t follow through afterwards? Agunas closed the book in his hand and said to Xiao Ji,

"I’ll ask for you later, you should trust me if you don’t trust him, right?"

Xiao Ji nodded gratefully and yipped at Agunas a few times, to which Feng Yuan said with a wronged expression,

"I was the one who promised first..."

"Who asked you to tease Xiao Ji all the time?"

Agunas said discontentedly, looking at Drudgeon he asked, baffled,

"Where in the world did it learn that move from?"

"I have no idea, maybe it found it in some ruins?"

Thinking of the intact Nien Wheel from before, Feng Yuan felt somewhat helpless. Theoretically, the Nien Wheel should not exist and be in use, but there were still ruins that might contain intact Nien Wheels, which could be accidentally discovered.

"Ruins... I kind of understand why Ernis did what he did."

Agunas whispered, shaking his tail. After the incident with the Nien Wheel, Agunas realized that not all ruins were harmless, especially those from the Mythical Era.

If ordinary people discovered such ruins that are a huge trouble even for beings like Ernis, who knew what might happen.

"You can do it, Ah Mu~"

Feng Yuan encouraged Ah Mu, who was about to walk over, while Qi Chen said with a guilty conscience,

"It looks quite difficult..."

"You don’t have faith in Ah Mu?"

"It’s not like you’re the one learning."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"What do you mean ’it’s not like you’re the one learning’? I feel like there’s something more to what you’re saying."

"Is there? You must be imagining things~"

Feng Yuan whistled and pretended to look around at the scenery. Qi Chen sighed and turned his attention back to Ah Mu. At this point, all the Wood Spirit Beasts had already entered the clearing, and Drudgeon was teaching them how to use that move. The students who let the Spirit Beasts train on their own and took the opportunity to rest were envious of the crowd surrounding the clearing.

When Drudgeon demonstrated the move, it surprised everyone. At least while Drudgeon was using it, most of the training for special moves had to stop. The abundance of wood energy filling the space resulted in an effect similar to an Anti-Magic Field.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven’t seen Dou Yanlan around?"

Feng Yuan asked Qi Chen curiously. Shaking his head, Qi Chen said,

"I don’t know. It seems she had some emergency at home, but she already registered for the class, so it’s no problem if she doesn’t attend."

"Emergency, huh?"

"Should we go check on her after school?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"That’s probably not necessary, is it?"

"I feel like there might be a problem... Of course, if you don’t care, I don’t either."

Although Feng Yuan said this, he had already decided to find Dou Yanlan after school. Qi Chen was taken aback and stared at Feng Yuan, whispering,

"What have you noticed?"

"I don’t know, but even if Dou Yanlan’s family isn’t rich, they should at least have been able to prepare the evolution material for Cotton, especially since Cotton has not just recently signed a contract with her. The money for materials should have been ready a while ago."

"Besides, I haven’t heard of any material suddenly skyrocketing in price or becoming scarce..."

Only then did Qi Chen react. Cotton, after all, was just a Common Level beast. The materials for evolving a Common Level Spirit Beast were quite common, and while more expensive than ordinary sundries, they definitely shouldn’t be unaffordable for most people.

"Let’s go find her after school!"

"No, I should call first to ask..."

Pressing down on the hand that Qi Chen was reaching for the phone with, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"It’s better not to. If she hasn’t mentioned it, it means she probably doesn’t want to trouble us and there might be some family mishap."

"We’ll go over first to see, and if we can help, that’s good. If not..."

"Pretend we don’t know?!"

Qi Chen shouted angrily, shaking his head, Feng Yuan said

"That depends on the situation. If it’s a family matter, what right do we have to interfere?"

"This..."

"Let’s gather some intelligence first, and don’t act rashly."

Feng Yuan said in a low voice, although he could handle most issues, he really couldn’t intervene if it was a family affair.

Agunas thought for a moment and said

"I’ll go take a look for you."

"That’s fine, if there’s anything we can do to help, just let us know."

Feng Yuan nodded in agreement with Agunas’s suggestion. As a Divine Beast, if it wanted to investigate secretly, Dou Yanlan might not even notice. Seeing Qi Chen’s worried expression, Feng Yuan smiled and said

"Don’t worry so much now that Agunas is going to help. Let’s first check on Ah Mu."

By this time, Drudgeon had finished teaching the method, and the various Spirit Beasts began to practice on their own. However, it seemed that no one had much of an aptitude for it, as various shades of green energy flew about everywhere, yet not a single Seistal Stele was successfully summoned.

Looking at the ball of energy in front of Ah Mu, Feng Yuan said with a bit of amusement,

"It seems Ah Mu has gotten it wrong. The Seistal Stele is summoned as a projection, not like Ah Mu’s method, which tries to condense it into being."

"Hey! Don’t go over there!"

Holding back Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said exasperatedly, as Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan confusedly and asked,

"Can’t we tell it where it’s making a mistake?"

"Please! All that chaotic wood energy is flying around. Going over there would just be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?"

Feng Yuan watched exasperatedly as the wood energy splashed around the field. Although Drudgeon had protected the Spirit Beasts with Lost Magic, the splashing energy still caused ripples on the Protective Shields.

"This..."

Qi Chen sheepishly backed off. He had just been a bit anxious and hadn’t paid attention. As he watched Ah Mu continue to fail, Qi Chen said worriedly,

"Can’t we explain it to it?"

"Can’t you just shout from here?"

Feng Yuan said exasperatedly. Reminded by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen quickly started shouting loudly. Other students who noticed their Spirit Beasts making mistakes followed Qi Chen’s example and started shouting as well. For a while, the area was full of noise, making it exceptionally noisy.

"I’m really envious, why is it that only Wood Spirit Beasts can learn it?"

"You could try to become friends with him, right? But if you approach with ulterior motives, he’ll definitely reject you, won’t he?"

"Tsk! Why isn’t Qi Chen using a Fire-Attribute Spirit Beast? Really... I’m so envious."

"That secret technique is really impressive, but it seems like it’s just a support secret technique, learning it or not won’t... "

"Are you joking? Is any ordinary support secret technique as powerful as that one?"

"But what’s the big use? Ordinary people won’t all have a team of Wood Spirit Beasts."

"Maybe there are other uses? Who knows, besides, isn’t that anti-magic effect alone quite amazing?"

The students nearby couldn’t help but be sarcastic to each other when they heard the shouting. After all, ordinary people rarely had a chance to have their Spirit Beasts learn stronger secret techniques. Perhaps only after entering the Beast Taming Academy would they have a chance, otherwise one had to spend a lot of money to find someone to teach, and that’s only if they are willing to do so.

"Basically, that’s it. Now you just need to practice a bit on your own, just be careful not to damage the environment."

Drudgeon said as he waved his little hand vigorously, and a series of light spheres appeared out of nowhere, entering the heads of those Wood Spirit Beasts. Seeing this, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen,

"Next, it’s time for them to practice on their own."

"But... Ah Mu doesn’t seem to get it yet..."

Seeing Ah Mu still bumping around, unable to summon the Seistal Stele, Qi Chen couldn’t help but worry. Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"He’s already sealed the technique into their memories, as long as they practice more, they’ll master it."

"Then why earlier..."

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said with a strange expression,

"Memory spheres aren’t all-powerful. They can only give Spirit Beasts the same techniques, but learning through instruction makes the secret techniques better suited to the individual."

"Never mind, I’m not busy anyway, bring Ah Mu along and I’ll give you some special training."

Feng Yuan shrugged as if helplessly.
