Chapter 837: Chapter 838: A Special Gift

"You want this for yourself?"

Glancing at the coupon Teacher Yan handed over, Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"Never mind, I have to buy something later myself. No need for that, Teacher Yan, you can keep it to give to some children."

Teacher Yan said with a chuckle,

"I don’t have any children in my family. Oh well, since you don’t want it, let it be."

As Teacher Yan spoke, he turned back to the counter to exchange the coupon for a gift and then left. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"It’s odd. Not everyone likes teddy bears. Why would they choose such a thing?"

"I don’t know, maybe they have some special idea?"

Feng Yuan said, somewhat puzzled. Indeed, it was strange, but Feng Yuan wasn’t too concerned about it. He reached into the pile of Eggshell Chicken toys and fished out Xiao Ji. Feng Yuan said exasperatedly,

"You little rascal, you really thought I wouldn’t notice you..."

Playing cute, Xiao Ji looked excited. It had thought Feng Yuan would only notice it was missing after leaving the shop—not realizing it would be discovered the moment it sneaked in.

"Here you go."

Feng Yuan directly placed a bright red large toy on top of Xiao Ji, now transformed into an Eggshell Chicken. Scrambling up from the ground, Xiao Ji quickly reverted to its eagle form and protested at Feng Yuan with a few cries. Qi Chen looked surprised at the bright red toy and said,

"They even have this?! They are really bold."

"It’s probably with the consent of the Vermilion Bird itself. Look, it’s made in Featherwood City."

Feng Yuan pointed at the label. The bright red toy was a chibi version of the Vermilion Bird, who, in its originally slender form, was distorted into a chubby, bright red, plump chicken, which was oddly amusing. Xiao Ji eyed the chibi Vermilion Bird toy with some skepticism. If not for Feng Yuan’s explanation, it would not have recognized it.

"Why would you give it this? Don’t you think the Eggshell Chicken toy is better?"

Qi Chen asked, puzzled. He really couldn’t appreciate the Vermilion Bird toy. Although it looked adorably silly, Dou Yanlan found the toy quite interesting. Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan, shaking its head as if to refuse. As a Divine Beast, it couldn’t accept such a transformation, even though it might have been approved by the other party. Still, it didn’t like it.

"You don’t like it, huh..."

Feng Yuan put the toy back on the shelf, thought for a moment, picked up an Eggshell Chicken toy, and held it up to Xiao Ji, asking,

"How about this one?"

Xiao Ji rolled its eyes and turned around to leave, walking out of the shop and standing with its back to the door as if it were guarding it. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"It probably wants you to surprise it."

"Jeez! Such high demands. Want to line up with it?"

Feng Yuan said to Agunas, flashing a mischievous smile. Flicking its tail, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"No need, the Nien Wheel decoration is enough."

"Here."

Xiao Ji looked puzzled at the gift box in front of it. Qi Chen didn’t understand why Feng Yuan insisted on spending money to buy a gift box to wrap the toy when it was just a matter of stepping outside. Gently pushing the gift box, Feng Yuan said,

"It’s a gift for you~"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji joyfully pecked open the wrapping, careful not to damage it. Nearby, Gladys was carrying a bottle of wine, walking absentmindedly, unaware of Feng Yuan and the others. Teacher Yan, not too far away, was feeding his Spirit Beast lunch. On the terrace, his Spirit Beast was happily basking in the sun, with the wrapped gift box right beside it.

"Hehe, watch this—"

A traveler from the Audric region stood on the public platform’s contest stage. Feng Yuan, equipped with a monitoring bracelet, rubbed his hands together and boasted gleefully, as the robust man from Audric beside him looked at Feng Yuan with a dismissive gaze.

The opponent’s height, nearly two meters, along with his burly physique, created a stark contrast to Feng Yuan as he stood nearby. The contest on this stage was simple—without using any power from Spirit Beasts or any enhancement means, one only needed to swing the massive hammer and brutally smash the force-measuring device in front of them.

The onlookers surrounding them unanimously doubted that Feng Yuan could score highly; some even questioned whether he had the strength to lift the huge hammer. Agunas flicked his tail as he listened to the discussion around him and asked,

"What do you think?"

"He... probably can, right?"

Qi Chen guessed, not believing Feng Yuan would attempt something he wasn’t sure of. Dou Yanlan smiled and said,

"He can wield a heavy sword, so this hammer should be nothing."

"Some weapons have runes that reduce their weight for the user; just looking at whether the weapon is heavy doesn’t necessarily indicate the user’s strength."

Bai You analyzed calmly, which was indeed the case. Some runes made it so that, when swung, the sword felt as heavy and powerful as a massive blade, yet to the one wielding it, it was as light as a standard foil. Chen Xin thought for a moment and shook his head saying,

"That’s not necessarily true; don’t forget he’s already like a humanoid Spirit Beast."

Recalling Feng Yuan’s peculiar situation, Bai You’s expression slightly changed. She then remembered those unpleasant memories and, after a moment’s pause, shook her head to dispel those strange thoughts, watching Feng Yuan with a calm demeanor.

As the crowd gasped in surprise, Feng Yuan effortlessly lifted the massive hammer and slammed it down, causing the ground itself to tremble. Fortunately, the arena was in an open-air square on the ground floor, else security might have been forced to intervene. Even so, everyone could see the strength measuring device slightly deform.

Upon seeing this, the audience couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. No one expected the seemingly frail Feng Yuan to possess such incredible strength. A brawny man named Audric from the scene paused momentarily in disbelief and stepped forward to check the bracelet on Feng Yuan’s wrist, which showed no signs of utilizing Spirit Beast power.

The man seemed somewhat incredulous at the results, took the bracelet from Feng Yuan, put it on himself, and after a while, the crystal stones embedded in the bracelet slowly lit up, causing the man to stutter in disbelief,

"You... really..."

"Is there a problem?"

Feng Yuan asked, shaking the huge hammer. Agunas flicked its tail, somewhat speechless at Feng Yuan. Did he think it hadn’t seen the shadow of the black cloak behind him? In some ways, that shadow, visible only to Divine Beasts, could indeed be considered his own strength.

"Hehe—Dolomons Grass acquired,"

Feng Yuan proudly held the zigzagged small grass along with its pot close to his chest. Qi Chen, puzzled, asked,

"What are you going to do with it?"

"A gift for Little Green Snake—but I still need to figure out a way; otherwise, even with soil from the Audric region, it won’t survive long."

Feng Yuan stated, his tone indicating concern, which was no joke. This plant could enhance a Spirit Beast’s sensitivity to Space Series powers and lengthy exposure might even cause a mutation granting it Space abilities. However, such grass only existed in certain parts of the Audric region, and despite the Alliance’s efforts, they had not managed to cultivate it extensively.

"You’re aware, but can you really solve it?"

Qi Chen was somewhat skeptical, Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"It’s not too difficult. Nagna’s power can allow it to grow in non-specific environments; it just needs Nagna’s power infused in advance. However, once that power gets exhausted, it will revert to its original state."

Obviously, such a uniquely potent Spiritual Medicine would not be unrestricted, which everyone could understand. But if that was the case...

Just when everyone was wondering whether Feng Yuan would somehow bring Nagna there, Feng Yuan turned towards Agunas and asked,

"Is there no way for you?"

"What do you think?"

Agunas rolled its eyes and spoke sassily—it was a Divine Beast of time, unrelated to life. Reversing time might ensure the plant didn’t die, but expecting it to reproduce normally was unrealistic.

"It seems so..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan momentarily didn’t know how to address the situation, as this issue couldn’t be solved just by the Rain of Life. But to call Nagna over this? It seemed a bit inappropriate...

"Forget it, let’s go back and find Little Green Snake. If it can handle it, let it deal with it itself."

After some thought, Feng Yuan ultimately gave up on bringing Nagna over. After all, the plant was ultimately for Little Green Snake to handle. Agunas opened a Space Gate and said,

"It should be in the dormitory."

Behind the Space Gate, Little Green Snake, coiled on the table, looked puzzled at Agunas, not understanding why it had opened the gate so nearby and what it wanted to do.
