Chapter 689: Chapter 690: Comprehension_1

"Xiao Lu is so amazing~"

Just as he was about to call Ah Mu back, a sudden change occurred on the clearing. A One-leaf Fox abruptly leapt up, surrounded by three small Seistal Steles that were slowly rotating around it. The light on the ground, lush and green, covered over half of the duel field.

"Is that..."

Feng Yuan looked at the proud One-leaf Fox in surprise. At that moment, Drudgeon just glanced at the fox and departed without a word. The completion of its purpose was all that mattered to it.

As for Feng Yuan’s gratitude? It didn’t care about that; it had come specifically to thank Feng Yuan. There was no need to go and seek praise from him; it believed that Feng Yuan felt the same.

"Why does that Seistal Stele look a bit off?"

Qi Chen watched the showy One-leaf Fox with some confusion as it performed various cool-looking movements. Feng Yuan called Ah Mu back and said,

"Of course it does. But using the Seistal Stele in pieces... One could only say that it’s a creature that likes to be clever, huh?"

"Has that caused a problem?"

"It lowers the difficulty of casting, but at the same time reduces the power to about one-third of its original strength. However, it does seem to suit it pretty well."

Feng Yuan disdained it vocally but was actually quite amazed. Besides that One-leaf Fox, no other Spirit Beast had succeeded in learning this special move, let alone modified it.

"Its comprehension isn’t weak by any means. Although it’s a relatively weak One-leaf Fox, just from this comprehension alone, it wouldn’t pose much of a problem for an average academy."

"Really?"

Qi Chen looked at the One-leaf Fox in surprise, which was currently confronting another Spirit Beast that had nudged it in a way it didn’t appreciate. Since the One-leaf Fox was inherently one of the weaker kinds, it dared not act too rashly even after learning the Seistal Stele·Wood.

"Can’t you see other people’s Spirit Beasts haven’t managed to learn this move? Even if it’s a bit weaker in strength, having more techniques still makes it strong."

"Furthermore, the One-leaf Fox is inherently adept at control and disruption. Although it lacks the weakening effects of the Ghost Series, it’s still a very annoying type of Spirit Beast."

Feng Yuan smiled and said, while Qi Chen looked at the One-leaf Fox enviously, then turned his attention away from it to worry about Ah Mu instead.

"Has it managed to use it? Not bad."

Looking at a streak of sunset in the sky, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Ah Mu wouldn’t be able to learn this move today, but to his surprise, Ah Mu managed to learn it just in time. Observing the Seistal Stele entwined with vines around Ah Mu, it was clear to Feng Yuan that this was Ah Mu’s own modification.

But glancing at Agunas next to him, Feng Yuan felt somewhat troubled. Agunas had gone around but seemed to have found no useful information.

"Just so-so, its comprehension can only be said to be average."

Feng Yuan said calmly to a somewhat excited Qi Chen, who paused for a moment, baffled, and asked,

"Why?"

"After all, it learned only after I taught it for such a long time. Although it didn’t use a memory ball, it still..."

"Thank you."

Qi Chen thanked Feng Yuan. The recipient laughed smugly. Ah Mu stood beside them, feeling a bit embarrassed as it understood its own level of comprehension better than Qi Chen did.

Just as Feng Yuan was calling Xiao Ji and the others and preparing to leave the school with Qi Chen, a girl holding a One-leaf Fox ran over. She had noticed that Feng Yuan and his group were wrapping up their day and wanted to come over, but at that moment, Feng Yuan was in a hurry to find Xiao Ji and the others, so she had to wait a bit longer.

"Is there something you need?"

Feng Yuan looked at the girl with confusion, as she blushed slightly and said in a low voice,

"Today... thank you."

Feng Yuan glanced at her and said nonchalantly,

"It was nothing big. I mainly was just..."

"We know, but no matter what, you still helped us..."

Her toes continued to scuff the ground nervously. It was her first interaction with Feng Yuan, and the girl, who was not adept at talking to strangers, felt particularly anxious.

Others also wanted to express their thanks but hadn’t quite figured out how to go about it. After all, Feng Yuan usually had almost no contact with them, and they knew nothing about his interests. As for the girl, it was because Teacher Yan had recognized the special comprehension of the One-leaf Fox and pulled her aside to say something.

Had it not been for Drudgeon abruptly teaching the special move, they might not have discovered the extraordinary comprehension of the One-leaf Fox. Comprehension was difficult to spot, yet it was an important index for some Spirit Beasts.

At least now she knew that if she managed to have her One-leaf Fox learn more control-type special moves, her chances of getting into the Beast Taming Academy would greatly increase.

Although it might cost a lot of money, it’s all worth it. For ordinary people, getting into the Beast Taming Academy is hardly any different from a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate. In this era, power is still the greatest reliance.

After talking for a while, they finally agreed that the girl would treat Feng Yuan to a big meal to express her gratitude when he was free. After finally sending the girl off, Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said,

"Shall we go grab something to eat now or...?"

"I’ll head over first, and you can come find me after you’ve finished eating."

Qi Chen said distractedly. With a laugh, Feng Yuan said,

"Forget it, let’s go together. I’m afraid I won’t be able to find you later."

"Aren’t you hungry?"

"I’m fine, let’s go. Do you know where her house is?"

Qi Chen nodded and said,

"I do, but... can you not tell anyone else?"

Yawning, Feng Yuan said nonchalantly,

"Of course. It’s in the west side of the city, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, let’s hurry up."

Qi Chen said and quickly set off towards the school’s gate with Ah Mu, while Feng Yuan chuckled and placed Xiao Ji on his head before catching up.

"Is this the place?"

Feng Yuan looked around in surprise. Although he had guessed that Dou Yanlan’s house was in the poorest West District of Maomu City, he hadn’t expected it to be in a place like this. After all, Qi Chen’s house was also in the West District, but theirs was an old-style area for the Guard Squad’s families, which, despite the poor location, had quite a good public order and environment.

Seeing the shabby buildings around, Feng Yuan didn’t react at first, and for a moment, he thought he had returned to a civilian area in Omeilia he had visited before.

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, none too pleased, and said,

"What else? And don’t you say too much later!"

Qi Chen was really worried that if Feng Yuan slipped up and said the wrong thing later on, it could upset Dou Yanlan, who he knew was quite sensitive about her family’s financial situation.

"I’m not an idiot. Why would I say anything?"

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes at Qi Chen and said voicelessly. He wouldn’t run his mouth off about a friend. After thinking for a while, Feng Yuan made Ah Mu grow a bit larger, placed all the others on Ah Mu’s branches, and transformed into a Little Husky to hang on the crown of the Amu Tree.

"What are you doing?"

Qi Chen asked, looking at Feng Yuan dubiously. He didn’t think Dou Yanlan wouldn’t be able to recognize Feng Yuan’s transformation. Not to mention that Xiao Ji was still sitting in the crown of the Amu Tree.

"Playing weak to get the edge. You don’t think Dou Yanlan is just short on money, do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t forget that the wild is full of Spiritual Medicine and Materials to be collected. If it were just a matter of money, it shouldn’t have come to this."

"What do you think then...?"

Now that Feng Yuan mentioned it, Qi Chen also felt something odd. Feng Yuan had acquired potions that, apart from feeding Ah Mu, had also been extensively used by Cotton. Even though the moves Cotton learned were mostly for team support, it did ensure Dou Yanlan’s safety in certain outdoor activities within a range.

"I don’t know. Maybe debt collectors? Or something else?"

The Little Husky yawned as he lay on the tree crown, saying. With so few clues, he couldn’t come up with specific possibilities, but Qi Chen, who knew more, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"It shouldn’t be. Her family doesn’t have any external debts, it’s just that..."

"Why don’t we just go over and find out? Guessing doesn’t solve anything."

The Little Husky found a more comfortable position to curl up on the tree crown. Qi Chen swept a look at Feng Yuan who had become the Little Husky and said,

"Speaking of which, what kind of Spirit Beast does your dog form belong to? The offspring of the White Wolf Deity?"

The Little Husky looked at Qi Chen speechlessly and said,

"How could that be! This is the form of a legendary Divine Beast!"
