Chapter 947: Chapter 948: Mock Assessment

"Why? You should have qualified for early admission, right?"

Qi Chen looked puzzled at the little Husky on the table, who yawned and looked out the window, saying,

"It’s too much trouble. Their early admissions and special recruitment are just about avoiding unexpected failures during the normal assessment."

Potential does not equate to strength, or rather, early admissions are fine, but special recruitment usually means having strong potential in a certain area but weak in others. Such severe partiality poses a risk of failing the normal assessments. As for Feng Yuan?

If that guy could get eliminated, I guess no one could pass the assessments without cheating. Besides, going to Maomu Academy was his own choice. He wouldn’t give up unless it was something special, and speaking of special circumstances?

Don’t forget his status. Even early admissions can be revoked, so it really doesn’t mean much to him.

"You really are..."

Qi Chen looked speechlessly at Feng Yuan. He understood that this guy was stating facts. While everyone else was striving for better academies, that guy already had his pick of top institutions. As for the new assessment model,

it was nothing hard for him.

The new assessment merely added team combat evaluation content, and with that guy’s skills, there was no need to worry. Qi Chen felt somewhat relieved because, thanks to Dou Yanlan, he had also started learning to cooperate with a team, inadvertently. The change in the assessment actually became more beneficial for him.

"So, will you be joining the mock assessment tomorrow?"

Qi Chen looked curiously at Feng Yuan, who yawned again and glanced at Qi Chen, saying,

"What do you think? It depends. If Xiao Ji wants to have some fun, I don’t mind. That thing isn’t much of a big deal to me anyway."

No matter how they changed it, as long as it wasn’t just directly selecting candidates, he wasn’t afraid. He completely had the ability to handle those fancy assessments. As for directly selecting candidates? If those people dared to do that, they wouldn’t need to wait till the next day; they’d face everyone’s wrath right away.

Little Husky, who was constantly chewing on a long-tailed grass, looked doubtfully at Feng Yuan, seeming to have heard him calling its name. The little Husky’s face showed a mischievous smile and said,

"What if I take Xiao Ji to join and then release a ’Crimson Judgment’?"

"What, can you not mess around?"

Agunas said exasperatedly, having just come out of a small space and hearing Feng Yuan planning mischief.

"How are they? Are they any better?"

Agunas shook his head as he glanced at the little Husky on the table,

"The injuries aren’t a big issue anymore, but the mental scars aren’t so easy to heal."

"Those guys really are..."

With a paw tapping on the table, the little Husky said irritably. Although he wasn’t a Spirit Beast, he was still angry. However, since he had already said to leave those people to them, he didn’t think about taking matters into his own hands anymore. Qi Chen looked curiously at Feng Yuan and Agunas and said,

"Did something else happen?"

Agunas glanced at Qi Chen and briefly shared what had happened to those Spirit Beasts. After hearing Agunas’s account, Qi Chen exclaimed furiously,

"How could they do such a thing! Why! Why would such people also be Beast Tamers!"

"There’s no way of knowing. Perhaps they were kind at first, but who can predict the future?" Little Husky said in a low voice as he lay on the table, wagging his tail. He had seen too many instances where a seemingly kind person becomes utterly demonic due to stagnation or turns evil due to an accident. To him, there was nothing surprising about it anymore.

"But... wasn’t it said..."

Qi Chen found it hard to believe. Could someone capable of such things really have been kind once? Little Husky glanced at Qi Chen and said nothing. After all, he had witnessed it himself during the incident at the Emerald Ruins, the thoughts Qi Chen had suppressed deep within his heart.

It was because he himself resisted that idea that Feng Yuan did not speak up. Thinking about himself, Little Husky revealed a self-mocking smile and said,

"Who isn’t like that? I also often think about destroying the world just for fun—it seems like a nice pastime."

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and didn’t speak, only shaking its tail uneasily. Qi Chen shivered, not knowing that Feng Yuan indeed had the capability, but he thought if Feng Yuan really harbored such thoughts, even the Divine Beasts would have a hard time dealing with it because Feng Yuan knew too much, adept at everything.

"But the clear-headed me understands that excitement followed by destruction would only lead to endless emptiness. After an unbridled outburst, all that awaits is destruction."

With his front paws under his head, Little Husky looked at Qi Chen and smiled, not quite understanding what Feng Yuan meant, but Qi Chen felt that it meant Feng Yuan would not choose to destroy the world. Qi Chen breathed a sigh of relief—if it were otherwise, he really didn’t know how to face Feng Yuan.

"Restraint, not letting desires destroy oneself."

Veronia stepped out from the spatial passage and looked meaningfully at Agunas as she spoke, flicking her tail. Agunas made no objection. Reflecting on it, Agunas realized it had been too impulsive in the Metal Fortress, which was also tied to its experiences.

Originally, Agunas had not gone through the experience of ruling a nation. Hamilon was not governed by one individual but a collective decision of a council, and although Agunas occasionally participated, it was never involved deeply.

Transforming back into human form, Feng Yuan gently patted Xiao Ji on the head and picked up Pomiti, who was sleeping in the branches of the Amu Tree, saying,

"I’m going to grab something to eat."

"How interesting~"

While eating, Feng Yuan pricked up his ears to listen to the students around him complaining that the recent changes to the examination were too sudden. Some even regretted not taking part in the previous military selection, which valued individual strength more than the current focus on the coordination abilities of small teams.

Of course, to avoid situations where strong individuals carried weaker ones through the tests, the Academy specified that teammates would be soldiers sent by the military, who would participate in various challenges with them.

And this greatly tested their ability to choose companions. The dispatched soldiers were not of equal strength, and even their Beast Tamers were different. How to form a proper team was a challenging task.

Coordination was also critical. Since most had had their own Beast Tamers for just about a year, and most training focused on individual fighting. The sudden requirement for cooperative combat was challenging for many but advantageous for those like Dou Yanlan who specialized in team support.

Although everyone would gradually become skilled in team combat—after all, in the future, everyone would have at least two or three Beast Tamers—it was impossible for teams to operate entirely without coordination in a chaotic battle with enemies. However, until the teams were formed, it was difficult for people to train in team combat.

Take Yang Hongzhi for instance, not counting Najia, his two Beast Tamers focused on defense and offense respectively. Although this seemed feasible, in a real fight, it was still a chaotic rush. Only after Najia arrived with its ability to manipulate the battlefield could he start employing various tactics.

Thinking this, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji beside him. Its Ultimate Moves seemed to focus on offense; should he teach it another day how to change the battlefield and other disruptive Ultimate Moves? But, after considering, Feng Yuan gave up on the idea, as Xiao Ji had indeed learned control types like Requiem, but it had almost stopped using them after evolving, focusing more and more on offense.

It seemed that Xiao Ji sensed Feng Yuan looking at it, and it raised its head, confused, not knowing what he intended to do. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It’s nothing, just looking at you."

Perplexed, Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan and then lowered its head again to peck at its food.
