Chapter 793: Chapter 794 Miracles_1

"Together with you, you’re not planning to compete for the championship?"

Qi Chen asked with some surprise, while Li Xiaowei, looking amused, made Qi Chen a bit embarrassed before explaining,

"Why would I fight for the title of Lake’s Brave Ones? How long have I graduated?"

"Hey hey! Do you all call a young lady fresh as a flower just out of school an old lady?"

"Of course, for I am the Lorraine Tower of humanity～"

Seeing Li Xiaowei rambling as if she were crazy, Feng Yuan explained to Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan,

"She must be livestreaming."

"I see now, I understand. The field livestream system is said to still be in testing and hasn’t been widely issued yet..."

Dou Yanlan looked at Li Xiaowei with a strange expression. Initially, the Alliance announced that devices using the Data Domain to achieve unrestricted communication and livestreaming had passed trials and were ready for official operation, but later, many countries stopped them.

The main issue now is that transmitting data through the Data Domain is quite hidden. Not many countries have Data-based Spirit Beasts, so naturally, these countries aren’t keen on opening up the device just yet. Otherwise, they can’t guarantee that the myriad illegal organizations within their borders won’t use the Data Domain’s stealthiness to exchange information securely and covertly.

Livestreaming is an even more serious issue. If someone, under the guise of a tourist, enters special no-photography areas and uses the livestreaming system’s feature that only the person themselves can see to secretly record, the problem could be even larger. They certainly can’t just close off those places because of this.

"Hehe～ that’s right～ my friend is super awesome～"

"It’s not making friends out of nowhere!"

"So what do you say, do you want to join us?"

Li Xiaowei said, suddenly turning towards Dou Yanlan, who after thinking for a moment, said,

"I can, but..."

"No worries～ What’s two more people? Lan Lan can totally take you along with us～"

"Lan Lan is?"

Dou Yanlan asked curiously. At this moment, a water-blue little fairy-like Spirit Beast appeared abruptly on Li Xiaowei’s shoulder. From the way it gradually materialized, one could guess that it had likely been invisible just moments before. The little creature, gripping at Li Xiaowei’s neck, looked at everyone with a somewhat dazed charm.

"A Sea Sprite?"

"Has it evolved?"

Feng Yuan asked in surprise. Sea Sprites are Rare Level Spirit Beasts, and the last time he saw her, Lan Lan was still a Deep Blue Water Sprite, which means its evolution had happened recently. Rare Level to Legendary Level is a big leap, and although Legendary Spirit Beasts are not extremely rare, Li Xiaowei’s age was out there for all to see.

"A genius, huh..."

Dou Yanlan muttered softly, pinching her clothes’ corner and then smiling at Li Xiaowei, said,

"It happened just last month, really. It’s nothing much. Back then, Lan Lan wasn’t like she is now. In fact, when Lan Lan didn’t evolve for a long time, my uncle even..."

Seemingly recalling some unpleasant memories, Li Xiaowei shook her head and said,

"But now it’s all good. Lan Lan has piled up her potential and suddenly soared to the Rare Level. Even if she doesn’t reach the Legendary Level for a long time, it doesn’t matter anymore〜"

Perched on Li Xiaowei’s shoulder, Lan Lan silently gave her a look, while Qi Chen seemed to remember something and glanced at Xiao Ji, muttering,

"Pile up potential for a breakthrough, huh?"

Xiao Ji, who rarely blushed, hid his head behind Feng Yuan’s back, and after a while, peeked out from behind him, looking up admiringly at Lan Lan on Li Xiaowei’s shoulder.

It knew its own situation well–if it hadn’t been for Feng Yuan giving it the choice back then, it feared it might not possess such strength now, even though Feng Yuan still didn’t need its modest capabilities.

However, Lan Lan was different; it had reached this point step by step on its own. Compared to itself, which had taken shortcuts, Lan Lan was even more formidable. Feng Yuan guessed what Lan Lan’s early experiences might have been like. Hadn’t Xiao Ji been despised by his own classmates and teachers initially? Although their intentions had been for his own good at the time.

The first Spirit Beast was not only the one with the deepest emotional bond but also the one that had been nurtured the longest. Frankly speaking, this early stage was extremely important. If an ordinary person failed to make their first Spirit Beast strong enough to enter the Beast Taming Academy, their future path would become significantly more difficult.

Not to mention, the Beast Taming Academy had special courses. Senior students with strong capabilities would lead teams to explore actual wilderness areas, increasing their practical experience and obtaining various rare materials that were hardly available to those outside the academy. If a student fell behind during their school years, it would be even harder to catch up later.

A Spirit Beast needed a long time to grow before it could evolve. The stronger the beast, the longer the time required. Although various potions could significantly shorten this time, these potions were either exorbitantly expensive or made from rare materials. Considering that academy students’ Spirit Beasts generally grew more than twice as fast as those of non-academy students–

It wasn’t incomprehensible for those non-academy students to give up the path of a Beastmaster. After all, not everyone was capable of shouldering the massive expenditure on their own. Unless someone was supporting them from behind, the cost of materials alone could crush an ordinary family.

"Really..."

Qi Chen murmured enviously under his breath. Even he could guess that Li Xiaowei’s family background was far from ordinary. Ordinary people didn’t have such capricious privileges, and even he had had to gamble just like everybody else, betting it all to pursue the path of a Beastmaster. If he’d lost, he would’ve had to reluctantly live out his days as an ordinary person.

Sensing the gazes of Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Maybe it was just destined to grow this way? The workings of Spirit Beasts are the hardest to fathom, aren’t they? There’s a myriad of possibilities, including those Divine Beasts that favor ordinary people and evolve miraculously fast, right?"

This was also why major families didn’t dare act recklessly. Perhaps one was ordinary in the first half of their life, but what if their Spirit Beast underwent a rapid evolution in middle age, and its strength soared, surpassing those who had evolved to the Legendary Level?

While such miraculous events were rare, they occurred from time to time around the world every year. No one knew who might rise to great heights unexpectedly. The major families naturally didn’t dare to make enemies without good reason.

"Looks like you believe in destiny～"

Li Xiaowei looked at Feng Yuan as if seeing a kindred spirit and after a moment, pouted discontentedly,

"I never said strength isn’t important. It’s just that I’m part of the destiny camp. Compared to those who pursue power, I prefer friends who click with me."

"There’s no point in arguing about this. How long has it been since the internet was created? This debate never ends."

Feng Yuan didn’t need to ask to know that the other party was explaining to the audience in the Livestream System whether to pursue the utmost power or to leave it to fate. This argument had always existed. Neither side could convince the other, especially with the various miracles associated with Spirit Beasts, which meant the gap in top-tier power between the two camps was not significant.

What about those below the top-tier power? In reality, most people led similar lives. Those who pursued power typically enjoyed a better material life, but those who pursued destiny were also satisfied with their present lives. In countries that were members of the Alliance, the welfare of citizens was not too shabby.

If one didn’t pursue an extravagant lifestyle, everyone lived more or less the same–which was an important reason why the debate never ceased.

"Are you going to participate in the event or not? If you’re not, don’t block the way for others," the staff ahead spoke irritably. Only then did the four of them realize that at some point while they were talking, the people ahead had already signed up and entered, leaving a large empty space in front of them. No one had dared to cut in line in front of Li Xiaowei after she had taken out her documents, which led others to doubt her identity.

"Sorry, sorry,"

With an apologetic expression, Qi Chen hurriedly followed Dou Yanlan forward to check in, glanced at Feng Yuan and Li Xiaowei curiously, and asked,

"Where do you plan to watch the competition?"

"Why not just follow along?"

Pulling out his own documents, Feng Yuan responded nonchalantly. After all, besides everything else, his ID still bore the identity of the Special Service Squad. If they didn’t let him in, he’d just claim to be on a special mission, confident that the staff here didn’t have the authority to check his specific information, nor would they know if he was truly on a mission.

Seeing Feng Yuan taking out his document, Li Xiaowei said somewhat amusedly,

"They probably can’t check your information, right? If they did, it would definitely be a load of classified information, and it might not even be displayed at all."

"It should just be classified. I didn’t have them hide my identity,"

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Usually, it was those who required assistance in concealing their identities that would go to the extent of not displaying any information. He didn’t need that, so it should only reveal a bunch of messages indicating classified information, accessible only to those with sufficient clearance.
