Chapter 697: Chapter 698 Teaching Begins_1

"Drudgeon hasn’t chickened out, has he?"

Feng Yuan looked around with some concern and asked, teaching seemed to him a job best suited for Drudgeon and Agunas. Although creatures like Lorraine Tower were strong, they weren’t necessarily as well-versed in each series’ ultimate moves as these two.

"I’ll do my best to fulfill my promises."

Drudgeon replied calmly and glanced at the Drudgeon behind him, wearing a black, pointed magic hat; Feng Yuan, quite surprised, said,

"Is this... did you dress up especially for this?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Drudgeon didn’t answer but looked for Teacher Yan instead, as it was quite familiar with this teacher who taught the Beast Tamer course to Feng Yuan.

However, it had underestimated those students. Due to Feng Yuan, although the students might not recognize all the Divine Beasts, they could surely identify the well-known Drudgeon from the Maomu region.

Listening to the screams and cheers, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"Is that really necessary?"

"After all, being taught by a Divine Beast is something to brag about."

"You made it? I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to come on time."

Looking at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan smiled and said,

"Thank you."

"Speaking of which, how did you manage to persuade Drudgeon?"

Dou Yanlan was very curious about this. Although Feng Yuan had a good relationship with the Divine Beasts, it wasn’t to the extent that he could freely command them to do anything; Agunas glanced at the distant Drudgeon and said,

"That guy just happened to be free and had nothing important to do, so he agreed to his request."

"This little one isn’t still thinking about surpassing evolution, is he?"

Feng Yuan reached out to scratch Cotton’s chin, and in response, the petulant creature extended its left paw and swatted Feng Yuan’s hand away. Seeing that Feng Yuan still wanted to reach out, Cotton lifted its left paw and, with a swoosh, sharp claws emerged from its paw pads.

"How stingy."

Cotton let out a lazy cry and flicked its tail, not deigning to argue with Feng Yuan. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Will Drudgeon also teach Cotton ultimate moves?"

"Of course, didn’t they say all series?"

At that moment, the crowd in front began to stir; Teacher Yan and the other teachers who had come along started shouting loudly, leading the Beast Tamers of various series to different fields, with several Drudgeons leading the way in front.

"Splitting himself?"

Dou Yanlan was somewhat surprised; she had thought that the ultimate moves for all series referred to the kind of general moves that all spirit beasts could use, not expecting them to be taught separately by elemental category.

"Yeah, otherwise it’s too much to teach."

"Aren’t all-series ultimate moves usually referring to general moves?"

Dou Yanlan was a bit puzzled; shaking her head, Feng Yuan explained,

"Most general ultimate moves are mediocre in terms of power and effect; it’s better to teach them separately. Besides, Drudgeon has the strength for it, right?"

"That’s true."

Dou Yanlan had no doubt that Drudgeon would teach well, being one of the more scholarly among Divine Beasts. If it couldn’t do it, it certainly wouldn’t have agreed.

"Well, I’ll go first."

Dou Yanlan told the two before leaving, by then Teacher Yan and the others were already arranging the groups. Feng Yuan looked at Xiao Ji and asked,

"Do you want to go with them?"

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan, yawned with some confusion, to which Feng Yuan said,

"I’m planning to go see how Ah Mu is doing and take the opportunity to train Little Green Snake a bit."

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with a bit of forlornness, and Agunas glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

"If you really want to learn, you can seek Drudgeon out anytime. And besides, you haven’t evolved yet, you may not be able to master the moves Drudgeon teaches."

No matter how much Drudgeon tried to accommodate average power levels, it couldn’t possibly teach Native Level ultimate moves, especially since Native Level moves didn’t really exist, and the few Death Series ultimate moves that could be mastered by Common Level creatures had all been learned by Xiao Ji already.

"Speaking of which, it’s about time for it to evolve, isn’t it?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and asked. It could sense the condition of Xiao Ji’s internal power, to which Feng Yuan nodded and said

"That’s correct. However, its evolution doesn’t require materials, so there’s not much I can help with."

Xiao Ji was surprised and looked at Feng Yuan, who simply shrugged and said

"Native Level evolution never needs materials. Ah Mu only used potion previously to aim for a specific evolutionary path and to utilize the evolution to enhance potential."

"It won’t need them in the future either, right?"

Agunas stared at Feng Yuan and asked in a low voice, a voice that seemed to be influenced by a special power, audible only to Feng Yuan, who nodded and said

"That’s right, after all... the evolutionary path of Divine Beasts is quite unique, especially for a case like Xiao Ji that has never appeared before..."

Agunas watched Feng Yuan speechlessly, as far as blaming Feng Yuan for anything? It had already made clear that the current situation was not Feng Yuan’s fault, but rather a choice made by Xiao Ji itself.

The Little Green Snake looked enviously at Xiao Ji and then silently cheered itself on. Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan looked at the Little Green Snake somewhat puzzled and said

"Speaking of which, your situation seems a bit off..."

"Let it go for now; we’ll check the specifics during training later."

By this time everyone had already gathered. Given the circumstances, it wasn’t appropriate for Feng Yuan to stay where he was. He followed Qi Chen and joined the group of Wood Spirit Beasts, while the others looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise; after all, the guy was somewhat of a celebrity at the school.

It was known to everyone that his Spirit Beast was a rather peculiar Eggshell Chicken, which had no apparent connection to the wood element.

"Um, this is where they teach wood-element skills."

Someone spoke up to remind him, not wanting Feng Yuan to waste the opportunity, but Feng Yuan smiled and said

"I’m aware, but Xiao Ji can’t learn any new skills at the moment, so I came over here to take a look."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the others didn’t say much more. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with disbelief and asked

"Will it agree?"

Pointing at Xiao Ji sitting on his head, Feng Yuan replied

"What do you think?"

"The move is practical, sure, but it lacks offensive power."

Watching Drudgeon demonstrate the skill, Feng Yuan commented, while Qi Chen glanced at him and said

"Aren’t most Wood Spirit Beasts known for lacking strong offensive abilities? I think this Spiritual Leaf Amulet skill is pretty good."

"It can reduce damage taken, heal when expended, and while it exists, prevents any negative status effects below the amulet’s level, and since the amulet isn’t a physical entity, it’s hard to directly destroy, indeed a good defensive strategy for a turtle shell tactic."

"What’s a turtle shell tactic..."

Qi Chen said, speechless, as Feng Yuan waved his hand and said

"You and Ah Mu can slowly learn here; I’m going to check on the Little Green Snake."

"What’s wrong with the Little Green Snake?"

Qi Chen asked with worry. Although the Little Green Snake and Feng Yuan had not signed a Spirit Beast contract, Qi Chen knew that it had always been helping Feng Yuan with Pomiti. In truth, it was somewhat similar to the previous Najia.

Qi Chen didn’t understand Feng Yuan’s peculiar luck with always encountering caretaker-type Spirit Beasts. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said softly

"If you really like it, why not sign a contract with it?"

"Why must a contract be signed? Isn’t everything fine as it is?"

Understanding Agunas’s point, Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, while the Little Green Snake seemed not to have heard the conversation between Feng Yuan and Agunas and followed Xiao Ji’s instructions, practicing its skills. Watching those skills, Feng Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Are you trying to master the power of the Space Series?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s sudden question, the Little Green Snake nodded. Feng Yuan said calmly

"But you aren’t the type that can normally grasp the power of the Space Series. Even if you wish to bring about a new evolutionary form, but..."

"Higher attributes aren’t so easily mastered, and should you fail, the consequences..."

This was the cause of Feng Yuan’s concern; he could see that the source of the Little Green Snake’s attempt to master space power came from the orb he had given it. He hadn’t expected that the Little Green Snake would try to discover and attempt to master the power of the Space Series through that orb.

The Little Green Snake stubbornly shook its head; it didn’t want to give up. It was naturally aware of the risk, otherwise its own Water Faerie kin wouldn’t have ended up in the current situation. It merely wanted to repay him, to fulfill its ambitions, and help lift the Little Green Snake lineage from their relatively weak position.
