Chapter 794: Chapter 795: The Competition Begins_1

Feng Yuan’s expectations were not off-base. After verifying his ID, the staff member immediately gave him an identity tag and told him that if he wanted to participate in the event, he could just go straight to the venue, no need for extra registration, and if he never went down to participate, he would be arranged as a special invited media.

It was actually the row of various privilege levels of confidential information on Feng Yuan’s ID that scared him. Everyone in Great Xia with such credentials needed to be treated with special care—even to the point where, after escorting Feng Yuan into the venue, he turned around to tell a colleague to call their supervisor over.

"It seems your ID kind of scared him."

Li Xiaowei said with a bit of amusement. It seemed that someone in the live stream had asked a question, and after hesitating for a long while, Li Xiaowei glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"His ID contains a lot of confidential information, all of which he earned through his own efforts. As far as I know, he doesn’t rely on his family like I do, so..."

"Who says I don’t have one, I just chose to hide it, after all, I’m still very weak～"

Ignoring Li Xiaowei, who was interacting with the audience, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan,

"What do you think? Where to now?"

"We wait until the opening speech is over. The first battle seems like it can’t be held on Yongzhen Island."

Dou Yanlan, looking at the detailed event introduction and map she had received when signing up for the identity tag, said that to avoid directly overcrowding the competition venue on their current main island—Yongzhen Island—the event specifically stipulated that the first bout could not be challenged on Yongzhen Island. With several dozen other islands both far and near, the closer ones were easier to reach but definitely crowded, and it was not impossible to wait half a day there, if luck wasn’t on their side.

"Then let’s go to an island that’s farther away. If that doesn’t work..."

"Blatant cheating, huh?"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s gaze drift toward him, Agunas said irritably, knowing without asking what Feng Yuan wanted to do—simply asking it to open a Space Gate to take them directly to the farthest island.

"Because of the Ancient Ruins nearby, the Space Series’ ultimate moves aren’t very stable."

Dou Yanlan spoke up as she had guessed Feng Yuan’s intentions. She had once asked Feng Yuan if Agunas possessed Space Series abilities, and his response was that Agunas had only the time attribute; other ultimate moves were nothing more than ordinary moves projected through time manipulation.

"Using a Golden Tome Page should be able to avoid that issue, right?"

"Is it necessary?"

With an irritated flick of its tail, Agunas said, scratching its head. Feng Yuan said,

"Isn’t it convenient?"

"Come on, follow me."

At that moment, Li Xiaowei came over and said to the three of them. Qi Chen glanced at the middle-aged man on the distant platform who was droning on with his opening speech and asked,

"Where to?"

"To the edge to wait. It’s like this every year, knowing full well no one listens yet still blabbering on for ages."

Li Xiaowei said grumpily, clearly not a fan of such things. She led everyone to the front of the cordon, where by now a sizable crowd was waiting for the event to start, and Li Xiaowei looked around as she spoke,

"Once the event starts, Lan Lan will lift us into the sky."

Looking at the increasingly large crowd around him, Feng Yuan said with some confusion,

"With so many people packed in here, aren’t they afraid that a stampede might happen?"

"The security team is here watching over it, it’s like this every year, they’re experienced,"

Li Xiaowei said irritably, pointing to someone wearing the security team uniform standing to the side. In fact, this was also the trouble caused by the Lake’s Brave Ones not restricting participant numbers; every year, far more competitors than in the Beast Tamer competition partake in the Lake’s Brave Ones event, resulting in crowds everywhere.

Fortunately, the challenges of the Lake’s Brave Ones were conducted separately—not like the Beast Tamer competition. Plus, each challenge involved a group against one, otherwise, with such a number of participants, if it were in the format of the Beast Tamer competition, it would be normal to last several months.

"Get ready!"

Li Xiaowei, who was chatting with the audience, suddenly spoke up to give a reminder. The next moment, Lan Lan waved her little hand with a bell-like laugh, and spheres of water emerged beneath them, lifting them into the air. Xiao Ji flapped its wings, flying alongside Feng Yuan. At this time, those competitors who came prepared were showing off their powers. Some charged towards the lake surface on ground-based Spirit Beasts, others flew into the sky on flying Spirit Beasts.

Even for Spirit Beasts as small as Xiao Ji, there were competitors who would grab their claws and fly up into the air. Some used ultimate moves like Lan Lan to take people up, and Nether Cross was naturally among those moves used, but their tiny boats looked so weak, pitiful, and helpless amidst the flurry of Spirit Beasts and ultimate moves flying everywhere.

It was not just the ground that was in chaos, but the sky was just as tumultuous, with all sorts of ultimate moves and Spirit Beasts scattered across the heavens. Those who were unaware of the tactics or who had chartered a ship were still in a good position, huddled at the edge of the racecourse. Members of the ready special duty team skillfully pulled those who had fallen to the side, catching those who fell from the sky and setting them aside.

"So dangerous,"

Feng Yuan murmured as he watched the competitors scatter, and Li Xiaowei nodded in agreement,

"Actually, most of those who choose to wait here are confident in their own strength, otherwise, they wouldn’t squeeze in here."

This was no joke; with so many people together, one could imagine how chaotic the scene would be without even thinking. Li Xiaowei wasn’t worried because Lan Lan was already at the Rare Level and was considered one of the more powerful participants among the Lake’s Brave Ones. Although she couldn’t compare to a certain someone accompanied by Divine Beasts, there weren’t many other competitors who could confront her head-on.

"Strange, what is that..."

Feng Yuan’s gaze shifted to a scientific research ship with some confusion. That thing didn’t seem like something Dao Lake City would have, and what was there to research here? Under the influence of the Ancient Ruins, all kinds of equipment data were unstable unless...

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan,

"You go ahead, I have something to take care of first."

"Hey! What are you going to do?"

Feng Yuan did not answer Qi Chen’s question, but simply jumped off, waving the Dark Ancient Book in the air, and a pair of massive black wings unfurled violently, scattering black feathers everywhere.

"What’s that..."

Li Xiaowei watched Feng Yuan fly downward with some surprise; the wings on his back seemed to be made entirely of pure Death Series power. She didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan was up to.

"What is this?"

Agunas, following beside Feng Yuan, was somewhat baffled. When Feng Yuan turned into a Little Husky and landed on Xiao Ji’s back as they were close to approaching the research ship, he said,

"Take me to the ship."

Xiao Ji nodded and headed towards the research ship. As Feng Yuan transformed into the Little Husky, the Rune Circle turned into a small golden hoop that hung strangely on his left ear, and from Xiao Ji’s back, Feng Yuan stealthily moved from the unblemished area of the deck towards the interior.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Xiao Ji quietly transformed into the Eggshell Chicken and followed closely behind the Little Husky.

"No one around?"

Agunas, invisibly following beside Feng Yuan, whispered in a voice only Feng Yuan could hear, puzzled. Shaking his head, the Little Husky sniffed around and detected the scent of many people who had been active in the area recently.

"Ao~ Ao!"

"I can understand the language of Spirit Beasts, but I can’t understand random shouting..."

Agunas glanced at the Little Husky with a speechless expression, knowing fully well without asking that it was Feng Yuan who was howling nonsense. Those wolf howls had no specific meaning; the guy didn’t speak the language of Spirit Beasts, so how could he communicate through beastly roars like a real Spirit Beast.

"Tsk!"

The Little Husky let out a scornful sound and nonchalantly swished its tail, sauntering around the cabin without finding anything.

"Everyone’s gone?"

The Little Husky seemed puzzled as it looked down at the shimmering lake below from the deck, and Agunas, equally mystified, said,

"That Ancient Ruin is not located at the bottom of the lake but inside a separate Subspace. Diving won’t lead you to the Ancient Ruins."

"Subspace?"

The Little Husky was taken aback, as he was not very knowledgeable about the Ancient Ruins and thus unaware that they weren’t buried underground. Nodding in agreement, Agunas continued,

"That’s right, that Ancient Ruin is inside an independent, tiny Subspace. This is also why the Space Series moves in this area are affected. After all, a Subspace maintained by devices will never be as stable as one that exists naturally."

"A man-made Subspace... This must be related to the Mythical Era, right?"

The Little Husky patted its left paw confidently, knowing well that no one after the Mythical Era had the ability to craft a device capable of creating and maintaining a Subspace.
