Chapter 953: Chapter 954 Differences

"Not bad at all~"

Feng Yuan walked up to Qi Chen with a cheerful expression, and after looking at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said helplessly,

"What did you just do again? You promised you wouldn’t mess around, but in the end..."

"I couldn’t help it. Someone suspected others were going easy on me. What could I do?"

Feng Yuan said with a look of grievance while Qi Chen frowned slightly and sized him up,

"Is that really the case?"

"It’s just a misunderstanding."

The Beastmaster of the Gale Battle Eagle, following behind Feng Yuan, said calmly. Qi Chen sighed and said helplessly,

"I didn’t expect you to find trouble wherever you go."

"Heh heh, who knows what they were thinking, actually suspecting someone of going easy."

After giving Feng Yuan a glance, Qi Chen didn’t know what to say. Those people felt the same as during the selection competition, truly asking for trouble. Didn’t they see Feng Yuan was intentionally waiting here to take them by surprise? And they were still foolish enough to give him the opportunity.

"I’ll go ahead then~"

Just as Qi Chen was about to speak, Feng Yuan seemed to foresee something and made his excuse. Seeing Feng Yuan slip away, Qi Chen sighed helplessly. He had just been about to tell him to stick with him. Although it might affect his simulation assessment, if he continued to cause chaos, there might be a huge mess.

"Is he your friend? Why..."

At Qi Chen’s side, a ’teammate’ asked with some confusion. Although they weren’t supposed to do anything other than assist in battle, Qi Chen got along well with them, and he had also learned that the other’s father was one of them, so naturally, he felt a special kind of favor towards them.

"It’s nothing. I just hope he doesn’t cause any trouble."

Qi Chen said with a headache. He had caused disturbances during the selection competition. Was he not going to avoid them during the simulation assessment either?

"What’s the situation with those guys? Why do they seem like layabouts, just following behind him and doing nothing?"

Someone spoke up with some dissatisfaction. Although this task was tiring, if they had accepted it, they should complete it well. What in the world were they doing...

"They probably didn’t have a choice. Honestly, in terms of combat strength... that guy could take on everyone here by himself, a one-on-one against everyone..."

Qi Chen said speechlessly. He had gained some understanding of Feng Yuan’s actual combat abilities. Don’t be fooled by how he usually seemed to let Agunas and the others do the work; his own strength was not weak at all. Especially with the Hunters often causing trouble lately, that guy had even less of an urge to hide and would take action himself. Qi Chen started to suspect whether the other was really like the Divine Beasts from Lorraine Tower, just transformed into human form and blending into the human world.

If it were before, he wouldn’t have thought so, since Feng Yuan had the Beast Tamer Xiao Ji, but after seeing Veronia wanting to become a Beastmaster, he had begun to doubt.

"No way, right?"

Those people were stunned for a moment and said, unable to believe it. From their brief interaction, they had realized Qi Chen was not the sort to speak without thinking. If what he said was true, then how did the other do it? Despite being just a high school student, he had strength they couldn’t match.

"It’s basically like that, so I hope he doesn’t cause trouble."

Qi Chen said helplessly. The others were somewhat surprised, not expecting that among this group of students, there was a monster hidden. But soon, they realized that if it was that person, it was possible.

"Is he Feng Yuan?"

Hearing someone ask, Qi Chen looked at the person in surprise and said

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Oh, it’s him... That’s no wonder then, we’ve all heard of his notoriety. During the selection, he almost drove the person in charge insane. After all, suddenly throwing a Divine Beast into the mix is really..."

The person chuckled while speaking. At the time, they found the situation amusing since, if a Divine Beast really enrolled, what could the academy teach it? However, they didn’t expect that this person would come here to stir up trouble so soon. But strictly speaking, he was also a recent graduate, so it might not be fair to say that what he was doing was wrong; it was just that his strength was a bit over the top.

"Really..."

Feng Yuan looked somewhat speechlessly at the approaching Beastmaster. The few people following him had already given up on taking any action, knowing that soon Feng Yuan will turn around and defeat them again anyway. They felt helpless, as Feng Yuan’s strength was there for all to see, and they figured even if their team leader came, he wouldn’t be able to handle him.

With a wave of his hand, a snow-white owl toy appeared out of thin air. Big Cat, who was watching the ’live broadcast’ of Agunas from behind, was momentarily stunned, then flapped its wings and hooted with delight. Pomiti, perched on its head, was startled awake by Big Cat’s movements, drowsily opened its eyes, yawned, and fell back asleep in a haze.

The snow-white scholarly owl toy stared at the newcomer with a dazed expression. When the opponent was very close, the scholarly owl toy suddenly revealed a sly smile, raised its wings in salute to the challenger, and a semi-transparent barrier materialized out of nowhere. The opponent’s attack was stopped by the barrier and then was instantly reflected back with even greater force.

"It’s not a good idea to directly attack a Beastmaster, especially the kind who doesn’t need to keep their beasts nearby for defense."

Feng Yuan glanced at the Beastmaster lying on the ground and said. In fact, if they hadn’t been careless, underestimating the students’ abilities and attempting to ambush him – a move that would never have happened – none of this would have been possible. In battles among equals, if a Beastmaster does not keep a beast to protect themselves, that usually indicates their own combat power is at least equal to that of their beasts.

Even Xiao Ji could go to and fro in combat with his beasts. How could they have thought they could defeat them? The Gale Battle Eagle Beastmaster spoke somewhat helplessly.

"Your Xiao Ji only exhibited Good Level strength, which is strong but might not prevail if the opponent’s beast went all out. Nobody would have expected your own strength to far surpass that of your beasts."

Indeed, Feng Yuan had overlooked the fact that this was a simulation exam and they were not supposed to unleash their full strength. Otherwise, not a single student would stand a chance of passing. This led to a miscalculation of strengths on both sides. In reality, Xiao Ji wasn’t incapable of dealing with Rare Level adversaries, but that would require using Divine Beast Techniques, which had destructive power beyond what their currents ultimate moves could match.

"I did overlook that, but in that case..."

Feng Yuan said, waving his hand, and a circle of golden runes revolved around him. Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion and then smiled as Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji,

"You do your best – don’t worry about me."

The circle of golden runes kept spinning, sending flashes of golden lightning zipping through the runes. Agunas looked towards Veronia with some confusion and asked,

"What’s that?"

"I don’t know. I don’t understand everything."

Veronia retorted with irritation as she sipped her tiny cup of juice. She could recognize the World’s Shadow only because of its authority. She wasn’t a Divine Beast of knowledge or records, so how could she know everything? But then again, wasn’t Little Crocodile a recording-type Divine Beast? Although it governed historical archives, it seemed to know much more than she did.

Agunas failed to notice Veronia’s disgruntled look and kept pondering, eyes fixed on Feng Yuan’s golden Rune Circle, which looked somewhat peculiar to him. It felt odd, like something wasn’t quite right.

"What’s this?"

Dou Yanlan asked curiously as she eyed the circle of golden runes swirling around Feng Yuan. She could feel the oppressive force of the immense power accumulating on the Runes Circle, and she wondered what he was up to, creating such a thing.

"What a coincidence to run into you here. This is meant to prevent sneak attacks against Beastmasters."

Feng Yuan said proudly. The thing was highly intimidating, its mere forceful presence enough to deter anyone from acting rashly. And for those who dared to get close? That Rune Circle wasn’t just for show; anyone who dared to approach him would find that it could indeed send a person flying.

"I didn’t think you’d be so fast. I thought your speed would be similar to Qi Chen’s."

Feng Yuan scratched his head, smiling as he spoke. He had initially thought Dou Yanlan’s speed would be comparable to Qi Chen’s, but to his surprise, she was actually much faster.

"I left before Ah Chen, plus, in these situations, our support-focused types have the advantage."

Dou Yanlan glanced back at her teammates and said. Even if they were suppressing their own power, they couldn’t intentionally restrict their combat experience. Additionally, she noticed that they had an inclination for the Commander role – so her faster progress compared to Qi Chen wasn’t surprising at all.
