Chapter 939: Chapter 940: Abnormal

"It seems you’re not convinced," Feng Yuan glanced at the boy and then said to Chen Xin, "Since that’s the case..."

"Can you not go up there and make a mess, please? Just dealing with Veronia’s data is already troublesome enough. If we add your data into the mix, I’m afraid we can forget about holding the selection contest."

Liao Yu helplessly pressed down on Feng Yuan’s shoulder as he spoke. If this guy also joined in, he would surely eliminate all the staff members—literal power play. And speaking of not allowing him? They didn’t have the authority to modify the rules of the competition system used, and besides... he had numerous Divine Beasts with him, each capable of causing an incident. If they all got involved, it really would be impossible to explain.

"What do you mean making a mess? Who let him say that? Our Second Middle School isn’t that far behind. What does it mean that we’re just lucky this year? What I’ve said is only targeting an individual. If I really expanded on this, do you think I wouldn’t have the ability to target Third Middle School?"

Feng Yuan sneered at the boy, although he said this, he wouldn’t actually target Third Middle School over a personal grudge. He wasn’t that petty. Liao Yu took it seriously, though, and quickly pulled Feng Yuan aside, "Don’t mess around! Whether it’s Third Middle School or Second Middle School, they’re both good schools. You can’t just go and ruin them."

Agunas flicked its tail disdainfully and said, "He’s not that crazy, but I hope you understand the saying, trouble comes from the mouth. We Divine Beasts aren’t your human babysitters. This time, it’s just a verbal dispute and we’re only playing along with you. But if you really anger us, the consequences will be something you can’t handle."

"Why talk so much to him? If he’s got the ability, let him come."

Veronia disregarded the boy with a glance and said nonchalantly. Agunas also didn’t bother to admonish it further. The opponent was just that kind of creature and, to be honest, it didn’t have a good impression of the boy either.

"Of course, it was that guy who did this fine work."

After hearing the person in charge announce the investigation report on the anomaly in the scores, Wu Feng covered his forehead, resigned. Although he had guessed it would be something like this, there was still a sliver of doubt among everyone. Now that it was finally confirmed, people stopped paying attention to it. After all, when Divine Beasts are involved, some strange occurrences weren’t a surprise, and logically, it made sense too.

It was just not clear why Veronia, a Divine Beast, would join a selection contest for no reason. It definitely wasn’t that much trouble for it to join Great Xia or enter an academic institution. But then again, what could a Divine Beast possibly learn at an academy? To understand itself from another perspective?

"You’ve really made quite a scene."

Qi Chen said to Feng Yuan speechlessly; he didn’t expect Feng Yuan to cause such an uproar at the selection contest with Veronia. As for how he knew about it? There was no helping it, the matter had spread on the internet. It was the first time a Divine Beast had participated in a selection contest, creating an unprecedented score. If not for Veronia’s distinctive name, all sorts of wild conspiracy theories would have emerged.

Even now, many people doubted whether this incident of a Divine Beast’s interference actually existed and speculated it was just them not handling the modification of the scores correctly, leading to the bizarre situation. They didn’t consider that if it wasn’t for the Divine Beast pulling strings, would Great Xia dare to make such statements? Those Divine Beasts are not to be messed with. To shift the blame out of nowhere would be to invite trouble upon themselves.

"What’s that got to do with me? Who let him spout nonsense? What does it mean that our school was just lucky this year? Even without Drudgeon, Pei Yu and Zhong Liuyan would still be strong, right?"

Feng Yuan said discontentedly. In fact, even when he left, Pei Yu’s performance was good enough to keep him in the top ten. After all, he was from a local small family clan, and despite any conflict with the family, he still received some private education. Not to mention Zhong Liuyan, she didn’t even participate. Otherwise, it’s uncertain whether the opponent could have won first place.

As a little princess from a renowned major family in Shangjing, Feng Yuan wasn’t very clear on what kind of trump cards Zhong Liuyan had, but he could guess they’d be enough to easily outclass that guy. Qi Chen was somewhat surprised when he heard this, "He didn’t say that in front of you, did he?"

"Yeah, but at first, he was targeting Chen Xin, and I just happened to see it, so..."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan looked innocent as he spoke. Qi Chen gave a wry smile looking at Feng Yuan. If it were true, that guy was really asking for trouble. To say such things in front of Feng Yuan, wasn’t it as if he was calling him undeserving as well? Qi Chen knew that Feng Yuan’s strength wasn’t much less than that of Divine Beasts. He was practically a Human-shaped Divine Beast. Confronting him like this, Feng Yuan was already quite restrained just by letting Veronia step in.

"You probably didn’t plan on joining the military or those top-tier institutions, that’s why you let Veronia take action on your behalf."

Dou Yanlan said calmly from the side. Only then did Feng Yuan notice Dou Yanlan was also inside the dormitory. He looked at Qi Chen with a weird smile and asked, "What are you guys... up to?"

"You’re thinking of something strange again. She’s just here to help check on Ah Mu," Qi Chen explained.

"What’s wrong with Ah Mu?"

Feng Yuan looked at the somewhat listless Ah Mu behind Qi Chen with some puzzlement. Agunas floated forward to examine and said,

"It’s nothing serious, just overtraining. Although Ah Mu is a Wood Spirit Beast, if it stays in such an environment and undergoes high-intensity training, this kind of problem will occur."

"Don’t you usually let it use rooting in the small forest outside?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen somewhat curiously. He hadn’t paid much attention to Ah Mu’s situation, believing that Qi Chen would be careful. Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen said in confusion,

"Yes, I do. I know I don’t have the money to buy those expensive Spiritual Medicines to replenish the energy depleted by training, so I take it there every day. Why would this happen?"

"Could it be that the soil has become abnormal?"

Veronia said with some suspicion, as if recalling something. Feng Yuan, surprised, said,

"Impossible, right? Are there cracks appearing here?"

"Is this the place?"

Feng Yuan asked Qi Chen, and upon seeing him nod, Feng Yuan crouched down, stretched out his right hand, and felt the ground before saying,

"I haven’t detected any peculiar forces coming and going. Xiao Ji, sense around and see if there’s any strange energy lingering in this area."

Xiao Ji walked forward with some confusion and carefully sensed his surroundings before shaking his head. It hadn’t felt any strange energy, but something seemed off. The forest felt like it was lacking something. Seeing Xiao Ji frown as if thinking about something, Feng Yuan looked towards Agunas and asked,

"Have you noticed something wrong?"

"No, I haven’t detected any peculiar forces nearby. Have you discovered anything?"

"Just like you, I haven’t noticed anything wrong either."

Veronia looked around somewhat strangely. It continuously felt like something had been overlooked. Just then, Xiao Ji called out a few times in confusion, and Agunas translated after a brief pause,

"It’s asking why this small forest seems to have lost something. Wait a minute! Now that you mention it, indeed, the overall energy levels are fine, but it seems something is indeed missing."

Agunas said with a headache. What was happening? Why was this occurring? Hearing Agunas’s words, Feng Yuan touched Xiao Ji’s head, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed before saying with an ugly expression,

"Indeed, something has gone wrong, but it’s not here. Agunas, notify all the Divine Beasts in the Divine Land Region to be cautious."

"What’s wrong?"

"There’s an anomaly in the rules, related to the forest. The weakening of the forest-related rules can only mean one thing..."

"Estir is in trouble!"

In an instant, Agunas realized. The only one in the Divine Land Region with authority related to the forest was Estir. Moreover, due to special circumstances, Estir was still in a slow recovery phase and had not fully recuperated. The likelihood of it being in trouble was not small. But to think that the Hunters would truly dare to take such bold action!

"Estir?"

Veronia was a bit puzzled, as it wasn’t very familiar with the Divine Beasts from after the Mythical Era, let alone the almost inconspicuous Estir. Surprised, Qi Chen said,

"The Hunters made a move on Estir?"

"They must have, otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing the weakening of the rules relating to the forest. They’re courting death."

Feng Yuan said in a low voice with a chilled expression. By doing this, the Hunters would definitely enrage all the Divine Beasts, and they would soon face the relentless pursuit and containment of all the Divine Beasts. Could they really withstand it?
