Chapter 933: Chapter 934 Gradually Distancing

"Haha~ So much fun~"

Sitting on the bank, Feng Yuan laughed and said, now that the lively water fight had ended, everyone had run to the shore to rest. Veronia waved her little hand, and those colorful bubbles changed color all turning into deep blue. Looking at the hot spring dyed blue by the bubbles, Feng Yuan, somewhat puzzled, looked towards Veronia and asked,

"What Attribute is this?"

"Restoring spiritual power."

Veronia, lying on the bubbles, explained. Although they had used all sorts of Ultimate Moves during the water fight, the biggest energy drain had actually been on their spiritual power. Physical strength and such hadn’t really been depleted, because they hadn’t used any Offensive Ultimate Moves after all. Just precisely controlling and releasing energy was tiresome for them.

Xiao Ji nestled against Feng Yuan, acting spoiled. Feng Yuan flipped Xiao Ji in front of him and began to massage it while asking,

"Tired from playing?"

Xiao Ji tweeted happily in response, and Big Cat made a wooing sound, pleasingly looking at Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan, somewhat amused, scratched Big Cat’s belly and said,

"Don’t be in a hurry; your turn is coming up."

Nearby, Agunas was turned away from Veronia, seeming to ignore her. Feng Yuan was somewhat confused about the situation between the two. They had cooperated so well during the water fight, but now they were acting like old nemeses.

Qi Chen leaned against Ah Mu and smiled at Ah Mu, who happily shook their leaves as if expressing joy. Cotton laid tired in Dou Yanlan’s arms, who was smiling and massaging its body.

It was only when night deepened that they finally left the hot springs. Feng Yuan, somewhat regretful, said,

"It’s a pity they didn’t seem to have the time."

"Maybe that’s just a part of growing up."

Dou Yanlan said in a low voice. Chen Xin was one thing; she had already taken charge of class affairs for three years with an air of a big sister, so everyone’s impression of her was that of a mature and reliable class president. But Zhong Liuyan...

She hadn’t expected such a big change just over a holiday break. Naturally, she would not assume Zhong Liuyan’s persona from before was a facade. If she couldn’t even discern that much, she would have no right to pursue that goal. She could only sigh that great families were indeed different; just one holiday break could cause such immense change.

"There’s nothing we can do. No one can defy the passage of time."

Feng Yuan smiled, holding Xiao Ji in his arms. Xiao Ji wriggled its body, breaking free, shook off, and tweeted cheerfully at Feng Yuan.

After seeing the two off, Feng Yuan closed the door, sat in a chair, and looked up at the night sky, saying,

"I do feel a bit reluctant; I really cherish these past three years."

Agunas flicked its tail without responding. Even for it, there were things in the past hard to let go of, but even it could not go against the advance of time. To endlessly repeat a cherished world was probably something no one could do.

Veronia landed on the table and looked at Feng Yuan, saying,

"Actually, isn’t there an Ultimate Move that creates an infinite loop in time and space?"

Feng Yuan looked at Veronia in surprise and shook his head,

"No, that move essentially just continually restores the state of the world. Time still keeps moving forward. Moreover, even though there might be unexpected variations each time, the changes are too slight for the world, and it could potentially lead to the world’s destruction."

"Is that so..."

Veronia seemed somewhat disappointed. Agunas looked at Veronia speechlessly; it couldn’t understand what she was thinking. Weren’t all Divine Beasts supposed to understand matters concerning the continuation of the world?

"Speaking of which, where’s Pomiti?"

Feng Yuan looked around, puzzled because he hadn’t seen Pomiti. Big Cat paused for a moment, then, hmming, scampered off toward the hot spring pool. Feng Yuan covered his forehead and said helplessly,

"Alright, it seems we forgot."

"You guys are leaving so early?"

Feng Yuan yawned and asked with some confusion. Dou Yanlan, with an exasperated look at Feng Yuan, said,

"We can’t be like you, already at the finish line. If we don’t take this seriously, we might pass the academy’s assessment, but our evaluation won’t be very high."

During the academy assessment, each participant is scored in detail. While passing is enough, entering the academy with a high evaluation grants certain special privileges, such as housing allocations and other benefits. Moreover, if one’s power rating is high enough, they can undertake wilderness tasks independently without needing a senior student to lead.

Although the academy’s wilderness tasks are primarily aimed at training students’ combat abilities and are not considered highly dangerous, nobody knows what could be encountered in the wild, especially since those strange organizations often loiter around the wilderness near residential areas. If one is not careful and runs into them with insufficient strength, it can be quite troublesome.

"Rest easy, this year’s assessment isn’t difficult, and it happens to suit you just right."

Feng Yuan said meaningfully to Qi Chen, while Dou Yanlan frowned slightly and said in a low voice,

"Although I don’t know where you got your information, it’s best not to speak recklessly. Leaking exam questions is a serious offense, and if others find out, they won’t be able to clear your name easily."

"I didn’t leak any questions. In fact, they should be announced in a few days. This time, the academy’s assessment will focus on team abilities, probably due to the war."

"War, huh..."

"That makes sense; it’s easy to think of."

Dou Yanlan said in realization. Rather than hoping for a genius who can take on all enemies alone, it is better to cultivate those with a strong sense of teamwork from the start, as the Ultimate Moves of Spirit Beasts can combine to produce many unexpected effects.

"So, are you going to join us?"

Considering that this kind of assessment wouldn’t simply judge success by winning or losing, but still, with Feng Yuan’s personality, could he really find teammates? Thinking this, Dou Yanlan extended an invitation to Feng Yuan, who shook his head and said,

"No need, I have something to do, don’t worry ~ I’m already enrolled ~"

"Already enrolled? Well, of course."

Dou Yanlan realized after only a brief moment of surprise. With his strength, it wouldn’t be particularly surprising if he was pre-enrolled into Great Xia Academy, considering it was just Maomu Academy, which naturally wasn’t a big deal.

"Do you need help moving your luggage to your dorm?"

Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan. Now that he was enrolled, he should already have a dormitory assignment. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan looked pitifully at Qi Chen and said,

"Does that mean I have to give up my room?"

"Of course not, how could that be? We had already agreed, that room was set aside for you, but..."

"Well then, that settles it ~ I can leave my stuff there for now. The school-provided dormitory already has furniture; I just need to bring some clothes ~"

"Since you all are busy, I’ll take my leave then ~ I’ve got to go to the hot springs later."

Feng Yuan said with a smile, and Qi Chen looked at him speechlessly, not understanding his enthusiasm for the matter, as he himself didn’t find it particularly interesting.

"I thought you had already left."

"Sorry, I had too many things to take care of last night and didn’t manage to find you guys."

Zhong Liuyan apologized to Feng Yuan, who shook his head and said,

"It’s fine. What about you two, do you have any important business to take care of?"

Although Zhong Liuyan and Pei Yu looked like they had just finished breakfast, Feng Yuan noticed they were both dressed in formal attire, which clearly meant they were about to go meet some important person.

"It’s about time, mainly because..."

"Don’t say it."

Pei Yu, blushing, stopped Zhong Liuyan from explaining further, and Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"As long as you don’t let her down and have tried hard, then what’s wrong with making use of her family’s influence?"

"You!"

"Exactly, I don’t mind at all."

Zhong Liuyan said, somewhat baffled because, owing to her family background, there were many ways she could help Pei Yu, but he always chose to refuse, which saddened her. All she wanted to do was help him.

"I believe in you, that you won’t forget where you started."

Feng Yuan did not say much more and just patted Pei Yu on the shoulder, saying. As for the future, who could tell? The idea of probabilities being high or low seemed like a joke to him; after all, the future had chosen an almost impossible possibility more than once or twice, and he certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to believe in the supposed most probable future.

"But, I..."

Pei Yu felt somewhat at a loss. Ever since he learned of Zhong Liuyan’s true identity, he’s been uneasy, fearing the stories he’d heard might happen to him. While everything seemed fine for now, he still had no clear idea about his own future.
