Chapter 946: Chapter 947: Solution

"How stupid, what does his wish have to do with you?"

Veronia spoke coldly to the One-leaf Fox, then suddenly showed a gentle smile and murmured to herself,

"But, isn’t this what we are?"

The One-leaf Fox barked happily, but it seemed that the movement was too big and it strained its wounds, causing a pained expression to appear on its face. Veronia floated to its side and gently placed a hand on the fox. After a while, she said,

"The injury is very serious."

After speaking, she looked dissatisfiedly at the man. At this moment, his complexion greatly changed as he anxiously checked on the One-leaf Fox. Veronia glared at him and said,

"You’re getting worried now? It trusted you so much, and this is how you treat it?"

Feng Yuan just stood silently on the side, watching. Although Veronia was verbally blaming the man, her hands didn’t slow down. In just a short time, she had treated the One-leaf Fox’s injuries, leaving only those that couldn’t be quickly dealt with. Feng Yuan stepped forward and said to the man,

"You might need to brace yourself. Its injuries aren’t going to heal easily, and..."

After glancing at Old Wei behind him, Feng Yuan shook his head, leaving the rest unsaid. Noticing Feng Yuan’s glance, Old Wei turned away and said,

"He shows signs of remorse, but if he dare harm the Divine Beasts again, I will not let him off."

"I..."

The man held the One-leaf Fox, looking at Veronia blankly. At this moment, he was very confused; were his pursuits wrong? Had his methods always been mistaken?

"Let’s go, after we rescue them, we can leave."

"And what about this facility?"

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. Did he intend to just leave this thing here? Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"This facility has a self-destruct mechanism. This thing... though it can be of great use to mankind, I just can’t be at ease."

He sighed, all too aware that if they kept this thing, humanity might indeed be able to develop numerous powerful weapons. However, he didn’t know what the consequences of such actions would be. This could potentially affect the entire world order, as when humans possess the power to contend with Divine Beasts, he did not know what the future might hold.

But he did know that humans were not yet ready to become gods.

"The right choice, they lack the ability to manage ever-expanding ambitions."

Old Wei spoke approvingly to Feng Yuan, who realized that even if he did not destroy the facility himself, Old Wei would not allow others to study and utilize it. He simply did not believe humanity could harness such power responsibly. If it sparked a war with the Divine Beasts, perhaps humanity as a species would become history.

"The contradictory human nature."

Veronia said nonchalantly. Ultimately, these things could only provide a false illusion, as if one could use them to stand against the Divine Beasts.

"How is it? Is it feeling any better?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Lorraine Tower, who was holding Estir, and asked. The latter shook his head helplessly and said,

"How could it recover so quickly? I fear it will need a long time to recuperate."

"Really... they sure know how to pick their targets."

Pulling Xiao Ji closer, Feng Yuan hugged Xiao Ji and whispered, resting his head on Xiao Ji’s head, he asked,

"What do you plan to do next? Conduct a full regional hunt for the Hunters?"

"Although we’d like to, we can’t stay here with the Behemoth World invading again."

Lorraine Tower said somewhat helplessly, then looking at Feng Yuan, he added,

"Could I ask you to contain Melansis for a while? We really can’t spare the energy to deal with them right now."

"Don’t worry, they should be facing a mechanical rebellion right now. Its destructive power on a technological civilization might not be weaker than a power rampage."

Feng Yuan said with a smile, confident in the turmoil he had initiated. Seeing that Lorraine Tower was still a bit worried, he thought for a moment and continued,

"So in that case, Little Crocodile should still leave a clone by my side, right? If they really aren’t affected by the mechanical rebellion, it can notify me, and I’ll handle it."

"Thank you."

Holding Estir, Lorraine Tower showed a touch of gratitude and said, clearly aware that Feng Yuan didn’t need to meddle in this messy affair. He patted Xiao Ji on the head, yawned, and said,

"Alright, I’m heading out. If there’s anything, have Agunas contact me."

Watching Feng Yuan leave, Lorraine Tower looked back at the mechanical ruins behind him and said coldly,

"It’s better not to keep these things here."

"Indeed, although most people in the Alliance can be trusted, there’s always someone..."

Gitalien said, chuckling self-deprecatingly,

"Back then, we thought his idea was too rebellious. As it turns out, compared to them, his plan was nothing."

"It’s a pity, but that’s ultimately impossible..."

Lorraine Tower sighed and Gitalien, puzzled, looked at Lorraine Tower and asked,

"Don’t you hold out hope?"

"No, the human heart can change; nothing is eternal," Lorraine Tower replied.

"That’s quite pessimistic."

Gitalien shook his head, raised his hand slightly, and a spatial membrane slowly enveloped the ruins. Lorraine Tower waved his hand, and the spatial membrane, sparkling with stars, began to contract and disappeared from the land along with the ruins. Apart from the Divine Beasts who witnessed it all, nobody would know that there had once been a mechanical fortress here, far surpassing current technology.

"Is the situation resolved?"

When Qi Chen returned to the dormitory, he saw a black and white dog lying on the table waving a ryegrass in front of Xiao Ji and asked as Little Husky was momentarily distracted. Xiao Ji pecked away the bothersome ryegrass, and with a release of its claw, Little Husky yawned and said,

"Yeah, Estir has been found, but the situation isn’t great, so it’s probably Nagna taking care of it now."

Because Nagna was more suited for caring for Estir, Feng Yuan hadn’t offered to take care of Estir when they parted ways. One reason was he didn’t want to bother, and another was that he might not be better than Nagna at it.

"There shouldn’t be anything serious, right?"

"No problem, just requires a long period of rest. Speaking of which, why did you come back so early today?"

Little Husky wagged its tail, glanced out the window with some confusion—the sun was still hanging in the sky, slowly setting, and it wasn’t time for Qi Chen to return yet. Could something else have happened?

Little Husky squinted at Qi Chen suspiciously, while the latter, wordlessly looking at Feng Yuan, said,

"Do I have to train with Ah Mu until late every day?"

Sitting on his own bed, Qi Chen, while helping Ah Mu tidy its branches, said,

"Speaking of which, there is something. There’s a mock assessment tomorrow, and I need to rest well tonight."

"Mock assessment? How come I wasn’t notified?"

Little Husky flicked its tail, feeling odd, and said—he’d been back for a while and such matters were usually announced via phone or text. Why hadn’t he heard anything? Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Maybe you’ve been pre-admitted? This mock assessment isn’t organized by our school; it seems to be held uniformly from above. This time, the academy assessment has changed as you said, probably to prevent everyone from being unable to adapt to the new content all at once, so they expect to hold several mock assessments."

"That may be so, but I don’t think I’m officially admitted yet," Little Husky said, trying to remember and then shaking its tail, puzzled. He didn’t have a clear understanding of the situation but knew that the official admission process on their side hadn’t been completed, and it wasn’t because they didn’t want to, but it was complicated. After all, without Feng Yuan stepping up to make a statement, they couldn’t possibly bypass the department responsible for academy oversight and admit him directly.

There had been an incident where an academy deceitfully admitted students with great potential to their own institution. Of course, the outcome for those academies wasn’t good. Students sought top academies like Great Xia Shenhua for their resources, which was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Aside from someone special like Feng Yuan, for most people, the resources of an academy were indispensable for rapid growth.

Thus, after discovering the deception, the students complained to the higher authorities of Great Xia because no local academy could provide the rare resources of a top-tier academy, yet they had been promised those nonexistent rares.

After that incident, for all academy recruitments, aside from the regular assessment process, any advance or special admissions, even for Great Xia Academy, had to be declared at the relevant department. There, individuals would be specifically explained the differences between academies. Only after understanding and confirming they could accept those terms, would they be allowed to bypass the normal assessment process for admission.
