Chapter 950: Chapter 951 Defects

"Do we have to choose teammates now?"

Feng Yuan looked somewhat puzzled at the people in combat uniforms in front of him; if he wasn’t mistaken, these should be the soldiers currently left in Maomu City’s Defense Corps. But was it really time to choose teammates right after registering?

"The simulation assessment has already begun, so choosing teammates isn’t strange."

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and explained. Given that the simulation assessment included students from all over Maomu City, if they didn’t hurry, not to mention a day, even three days wouldn’t be enough. Thus, the assessment had certainly started early, just like now—they proceeded into the assessment process right after registering.

"Do you need any advice from me?"

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen who glanced back at Feng Yuan helplessly and said,

"No need. This is my own business, and I don’t want to cheat in any way."

He knew very well that with Feng Yuan’s insight, he could definitely find the most suitable teammate for himself. However, that wasn’t necessary—it would give him a feeling of cheating. Moreover, getting into Maomu Academy wasn’t actually under great pressure for him. His bigger challenges lay in how to enhance his strength in the future.

"Suit yourself, but although it’s a team combat, I think there are quite some problems."

Feng Yuan looked at the newly printed assessment process and commented. Some of the original assessments were fine, but he saw significant flaws in the newly added team assessments. First of all, they couldn’t avoid fluctuation in the strengths of chosen teammates. Additionally, ensuring that everyone’s strength fluctuated within the normal range without being affected by fatigue due to prolonged fighting was crucial. They had to make sure there were ample rest periods.

This resulted in varying availability of teammates at each time point. Moreover, the Defense Corps didn’t have uniform beasts. Whether it was the Flame Wolfhound line or other Spirit Beasts specially selected by the Alliance to deeply cooperate with humans, neither were top tier strengthwise within their respective categories.

There were quite a few people with fortunate encounters whose Beast Tamers weren’t necessarily weaker than those from the Alliance. Even places like the Special Duty Team didn’t solely possess Spirit Beasts of the Flame Wolfhound lineage.

That was even more the case for the Defense Corps, given that their strength before joining couldn’t be too weak. If Spirit Beasts like the Flame Wolfhound type could catch the eye of Special Duty Team members, they were a bit too weak for the main combatants of the Defense Corps.

And the messy combinations of Beast Tamers made it even harder to choose, as nobody knew exactly which type the opponent’s Spirit Beast leaned towards. Even if they presented their own Beast Tamers, they couldn’t exactly wear a sign stating what their capabilities were.

"Really?"

Qi Chen was surprised as he didn’t quite believe what was said. Seeing this, Feng Yuan casually glanced over and pointed at a nearby Gale Battle Eagle,

"What type do you think it leans towards?"

"Isn’t it similar to Xiao Ji?"

Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Feng Yuan. The Gale Battle Eagle’s strongest aspect was its attack capability. Feng Yuan shook his head and stepped forward when Dou Yanlan happened to walk by. Hearing Qi Chen’s remark, he frowned at the Gale Battle Eagle and said,

"Indeed, this is troublesome. It’s possible that today’s simulation assessment might be urgently halted."

"Why?"

Qi Chen didn’t understand, puzzled about what exactly the reason was. At that moment, Feng Yuan walked up to the Gale Battle Eagle. The eagle-like Gale Battle Eagle glanced at Feng Yuan and haughtily turned its head away, seemingly disdainful to engage with him. Xiao Ji, following behind Feng Yuan, got slightly angry and chirped at the Gale Battle Eagle, which responded with a scornful smile.

The man standing beside the Gale Battle Eagle glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"I’m sorry, choosing me as your teammate requires its approval, otherwise..."

Smiling, Feng Yuan glanced at the proud Gale Battle Eagle and replied,

"I understand. However, I wasn’t planning on choosing you guys—tough, right?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the man was momentarily taken aback. The discontented Gale Battle Eagle glared at Feng Yuan with a warning look, and Feng Yuan shrugged.

"Actually, it must be due to some particular reasons that lead to the current situation, right? Normally, Gale Battle Eagles should be offensive Spirit Beasts rather than supportive."

The man stood there baffled, not understanding how Feng Yuan had figured this out. The angry Gale Battle Eagle called out. Seeing it dare to roar at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji suddenly spread its wings and let out an angry eagle cry. Perhaps it was Xiao Ji’s gradually emerging Divine Beast aura that surprised the Rare Level Gale Battle Eagle, which instinctively shrank its neck. The discontented Gale Battle Eagle chirped as though expressing its dissatisfaction.

"How did you notice something was off?"

The man looked at Feng Yuan with a bit of surprise, thinking his disguise had been flawless, yet Feng Yuan had recognized him immediately. Dou Yanlan walked over and examined the Gale Battle Eagle, saying,

"Because of the airflow around its body, a normal Gale Battle Eagle has an airflow that is rapid and sharp, but its..."

After observing the Gale Battle Eagle for a while, the man sighed and said,

"So that’s how it is, there’s no helping it. It was born weaker due to some accidents at birth, taking the support route would minimize its impact."

"Did it suffer any serious injuries during its childhood?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s question, the man glanced at Feng Yuan and replied softly,

"Yes, when I first found it, it was nearly dead. I don’t know why it was abandoned in the wild, perhaps..."

Although he had already guessed the reason, he couldn’t bear to speak of that possibility. Xiao Ji stared at the Gale Battle Eagle and thought, if it hadn’t been for Feng Yuan, would it have been...

No, if he really thought about it, if it hadn’t been for Feng Yuan, it probably wouldn’t even have been born. Thinking this, Xiao Ji rubbed against Feng Yuan, who looked at Xiao Ji with some confusion, not understanding what it was doing. Feng Yuan smiled at the man and said,

"Actually, with the current situation, it’s hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse, right?"

The man shook his head,

"Though now it can be a surprise, I’d have preferred it never encountered such an ordeal."

"Who wouldn’t wish that... we can only remedy it afterwards."

Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s head and sighed. Xiao Ji blinked at the Gale Battle Eagle and chirped. The man observed Xiao Ji with some suspicion, as if doubting its intentions. Watching Xiao Ji interact with the Gale Battle Eagle, Feng Yuan turned to Qi Chen and said,

"The biggest trouble is this, you don’t know what type these Beast Tamers actually are. You might think one is offensive when in reality it could be supportive. Most people can’t make that distinction, and if you ask..."

Feng Yuan glanced at the man. Too many students to ask each one? They probably couldn’t handle it. Dou Yanlan shook her head,

"Too hasty, this problem likely isn’t unique to us."

"After all, war is imminent, they’re also worried. No one knows the future; this must be in preparation for a prolonged war."

Feng Yuan looked up at the sky and said. He also couldn’t have Lorraine Tower excessively intervene in the war. If so, a prolonged war wouldn’t be likely, but a full-scale war in the Divine Land Region was a very real possibility. As for him...

"Conflict never truly ceases."

Watching Xiao Ji and the Gale Battle Eagle conversing, Feng Yuan said,

"Forget it, let’s not talk about that. Who are you planning to choose as teammates?"

Dou Yanlan, with an inexplicably solemn expression, smiled and said,

"It’s not clear for now. We need to see first. If we can’t rely on each other, it might be better to go it alone."

"You aren’t planning to go alone, are you?"

With his hands behind his head, Feng Yuan said regrettably,

"I’d like to, but it’s not allowed. They won’t let anyone compete alone, otherwise, bringing only Xiao Ji would be much better than having several liabilities."

Hearing this, the man nearby was somewhat speechless. He didn’t understand how the student could be so arrogant. What did he mean by calling them liabilities? Although his own comrades were not as strong as him, they were at least of Elite Level. How could these students of Good Level compare?

"You really are..."

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan helplessly, not expecting him to say that in front of others.
