Chapter 698: Chapter 699: Little Green Snake’s Perseverance_1

"The stronger the species, the lower its fertility; that’s the world’s restriction. Even so, do you still want to try?"

Feng Yuan said in a low voice. He didn’t wish to continue persuading the Little Green Snake; it was the other’s choice. Even if he didn’t approve, he couldn’t oppose it. Nodding slightly, the Little Green Snake kept practicing its special move.

Xiao Ji stared at Agunas and chirped, asking something. After a moment, Agunas hesitantly said,

"The chance of success? Very low. The Little Green Snake’s species isn’t powerful to begin with. Aspiring to wield the power of the Space Series is exceedingly difficult, even with his assistance."

"Otherwise, Space-attribute Spirit Beasts wouldn’t be so rare in this world."

Agunas said with some irritability, flicking its tail.

"The so-called superior attributes are termed ’superior’ because they are mostly more powerful or have special significance. Even Death-type Spirit Beasts are the same, although there are slightly more of them due to their invasive nature."

"It’s... almost impossible to succeed."

Although Agunas didn’t give a definite answer, it really didn’t have any hope for the Little Green Snake’s matter. Such matters directly involving the evolutionary path of a species, were something even Feng Yuan felt was not his place to interfere with, given their significance. Only He was qualified to decide.

Knowing Him as Agunas did, it gauged that He probably wouldn’t intervene. Letting all beings naturally evolve was His philosophy, only intervening directly when absolutely necessary.

As if it hadn’t heard Agunas’s words, the Little Green Snake continued its practice. Glancing at Pomiti, Agunas then looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Don’t you have anything to say?"

"What could I say? To advise it not to do so? Would it listen?"

Feng Yuan was helpless in this regard. It wasn’t just for fun; although he said it wasn’t completely without means, the difficulty was immense. Xiao Ji jumped into Feng Yuan’s arms and rubbed its head against him, looking pitifully at him.

Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said with a headache,

"Even if you look at me like that, I..."

"What’s wrong?"

Qi Chen, who was taking a break, came over and noticed that the situation seemed somewhat peculiar. Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"Nothing much. Has Ah Mu learned it?"

"Not yet..."

Qi Chen sighed helplessly. The One-leaf Fox had, unsurprisingly, learned the Spiritual Leaf Amulet technique early, but Ah Mu had not yet succeeded. Although he’d been comforting Ah Mu, it was impossible not to feel disappointed.

"I see..."

Feng Yuan thought about it but had no solution. Potential was one thing, but things like comprehension that were directly linked to the soul’s foundation were beyond even his capabilities.

"No worries, though it’s relatively slow, it’s not a big deal."

Qi Chen said with a smile. Despite a tinge of disappointment, he wasn’t too bothered. Ah Mu was doing much better than he had initially imagined. As for a lack of strong comprehension—well, that wasn’t much of a problem; Ah Mu was already among the top of his peers at their school.

"That’s true, not everything can be the best."

Feng Yuan said, rubbing Xiao Ji’s head, not knowing exactly whom he was addressing. Qi Chen nodded and said,

"Haven’t you taught the Little Green Snake any new special moves?"

"That thing..."

Feng Yuan still felt some headache when it came to the Little Green Snake. At that moment, Ah Mu chirped at Qi Chen, seemingly ready to resume training, so Qi Chen bid goodbye to Feng Yuan and turned to continue watching Ah Mu attempt the Spiritual Leaf Amulet.

Glancing at the diligently practicing Little Green Snake, Feng Yuan hesitated for a long time but ultimately gave up the idea. Agunas flipped through the book in its hands, appearing a bit restless.

"I didn’t expect your relationship with it to be that good."

At school’s end, Zhong Liuyan and Pei Yu found Feng Yuan. Looking at Zhong Liuyan, Feng Yuan said with some confusion,

"How did you know it was related to me?"

"We aren’t fools. A Divine Beast like Drudgeon wouldn’t just randomly come forth to teach without reason—even if it’s just a common Spirit Beast move. In Maomu City, only you have that influence."

Zhong Liuyan stated matter-of-factly. Without a Divine Pact Maker, it was wishful to think ordinary people could command Drudgeon. Even Wu Feng would have a hard time persuading it, and she hadn’t heard anything about the Vermilion Bird holding small classes in Wu Feng’s school.

"Speaking of which, we truly owe you for this time."

"Come and have some real delicacies when you have time."

Having been around Zhong Liuyan for so long, even the careless Feng Yuan knew she would not accept a thank-you gift, so it was better to invite him for some delicious food. Drudgeon, truly deserving of its reputation as a Divine Beast of knowledge—though it was only lost knowledge—had taught her Xiao Bai a very useful special move during the lesson.

"Your family shouldn’t lack for special moves, right?"

Feng Yuan looked at Zhong Liuyan somewhat puzzled. He was aware of her family’s situation. Shaking her head, Zhong Liuyan said,

"The family isn’t omnipotent, at least not when it comes to the Method of Controlling Qi that can be used at the Common Level. As far as I know, not many understand it, let alone teach it."

Being able to utilize a skill did not necessarily mean one could teach it, especially something as beneficial for Combat Series Spirit Beasts. Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised and said,

"It’s actually the Method of Controlling Qi? I thought it would teach special moves or something."

"I think this is even better~"

"True, for Combat Series Spirit Beasts, controlling Qi is more important than special moves."

Remembering Wei Fangwu’s martial master, the white ape that couldn’t use Qi in combat, Feng Yuan wanted to laugh. Pei Yu thanked Feng Yuan and quickly left with Zhong Liuyan, seemingly not too keen on having them talk too much.

"Speaking of which, she seems to have changed a bit?"

Qi Chen said, somewhat puzzled. Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"One can’t keep dreaming forever, can they?"

"There you go with your riddles again..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly, while Feng Yuan said with a mysterious smile,

"You could always ask Dou Yanlan~ I bet she definitely knows."

"Let’s go~"

Feng Yuan said to the Little Green Snake, and Pomiti, who had been standing there and watching the Little Green Snake, called out to it a few times before it stopped practicing and followed Feng Yuan with Pomiti at his heels.

"You... You’ve completely left Pomiti’s care to the Little Green Snake, don’t you feel the slightest bit guilty?"

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said with annoyance. Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Not at all, I think it’s quite nice, at least neither Pomiti nor the Little Green Snake minds it, right?"

"You..."

"How’s Ah Mu doing with the Spiritual Leaf Amulet?"

"I can barely use it. With more effort tomorrow, I should be able to master it completely."

By then, Drudgeon had already left, leaving only the students who were training hard to become Beast Tamers. After all, the special moves taught by Drudgeon were not ordinary ones; each was useful for its respective attribute and hard to learn.

Feng Yuan looked back at the bustling combat area and said,

"By tonight, everyone will probably be envious of our school."

"That’s for sure."

Qi Chen agreed, although it was Feng Yuan who had found Drudgeon, others would only see that the school had arranged extra-curricular teaching with Drudgeon, and what was taught were special moves not normally accessible to the public.

When those students came to their senses and wanted to thank Feng Yuan, they found that the sky was already dark, and Feng Yuan had disappeared to who knows where.

As for going to his dorm? While someone was considering it, others dissuaded them, understanding well that Feng Yuan did not like to be disturbed, and if they truly wanted to thank him, they could do so during class break the next day.

"I can’t help you with evolution."

Feng Yuan scratched Xiao Ji’s belly as he spoke because Xiao Ji’s situation was so unique that even he didn’t have a good solution unless he forcibly controlled Xiao Ji’s evolutionary path, but that was something he didn’t want to do.

Xiao Ji looked up at Feng Yuan and nodded its head, sensing the issues with its own evolution. Even more so, as the limit of its evolution neared, it had an increasingly clear premonition about it.

"And then there’s this one..."

Feng Yuan looked at the Little Green Snake with a touch of headache. Now that he knew the Little Green Snake’s purpose, he didn’t know how to help it. Interfering with evolution was not impossible, at least Feng Yuan was capable, but how effective that would be was uncertain, and he himself preferred to let nature take its course.

The Little Green Snake appeared puzzled and glanced at Feng Yuan, sensing his gaze on itself.
