Chapter 954: Chapter 955: The End of the Mock Battle

"Demands are different, but even so, nothing much will change."

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, Dou Yanlan chuckled and replied,

"That’s fine. If everything evolved toward war, wouldn’t it be just like the Dynasty Era?"

"That’s true, but unfortunately, conflict over interests will always exist. No one can stop the onset of war. The best the Alliance can do is probably just limit the scale of wars."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan thought of the last world. Compared to this one, the wars in the last world were obviously more intense. In this world, the presence of Divine Beasts meant their conflicts were more restrained. In the last world, destroying planets and using weapons of extermination were commonplace.

"Profit blinds people. If Great Xia really can’t hold on, would you help?"

Dou Yanlan looked earnestly at Feng Yuan and asked. Although she didn’t want to, she faintly understood that Feng Yuan’s ties to Great Xia weren’t deep; or rather, was he only helping Great Xia to ensure his current way of life remained unaffected?

"I would, but I can’t fully side with Great Xia."

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, glancing at the soldiers, he smiled and added,

"I’ll be going first. Instead of placing hope in others, why not consider making oneself stronger?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Dou Yanlan gave a slight smile and did not respond. Feng Yuan, with Xiao Ji, continued running toward the mountaintop. Dou Yanlan didn’t follow, instead, she let everyone rest on the spot. She didn’t have Feng Yuan’s strength; continuous high-intensity battle would only disadvantage her.

"Hmm, it’s you. In that case, Xiao Ji can’t take action."

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan scratched its neck and said somewhat helplessly. Captain Yan squinted and said sternly to Feng Yuan,

"What are you trying to do? I warn you, although it’s not given much attention on the surface, if you dare disrupt the mock assessment, you will not escape punishment. After all, this matter has significant implications."

"I understand, which is why I backed off. Otherwise, if I really let it fight you, do you think this place would remain intact?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Captain Yan was momentarily stunned. Although Feng Yuan’s strange Spirit Beast only had a Good Level strength, Captain Yan wasn’t confident enough to say for sure that Xiao Ji wouldn’t damage the place. The Spirit Beasts around Feng Yuan were always somewhat peculiar, and Xiao Ji’s Death Series Attribute was also very troublesome; the ultimate moves of Death Series Spirit Beasts often caused environmental destruction.

It was not that they did it intentionally, but the power of the Death Series was inherently so. Most life would be affected when encountering the powers of the Death Series.

Xiao Ji turned its head and seemed somewhat dissatisfied as it looked at Feng Yuan. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said with a chuckle,

"Really, I can’t always use ’World’s Shadow’ just to satisfy you, can I? That thing isn’t meant to be used so recklessly. If I did, Gitalien would likely come knocking on my door."

’World’s Shadow,’ as an emergency measure for a world, cannot recover as quickly as a so-called ’Mirror Space.’ Once damaged, it would take time to slowly repair. Thus, Feng Yuan also didn’t dare to misuse it; otherwise, when it was truly needed, ’World’s Shadow’ might not be available due to prior damage, which would be troublesome.

Xiao Ji shook its head and wriggled free from Feng Yuan’s embrace, its gaze fixed on Captain Yan. After patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Alright, stop causing trouble. You must be the final examinator of this mock assessment, right?"

"Yes, you may pass. Don’t forget that after two hours of rest, you can participate in assessments for other areas."

Captain Yan looked at Xiao Ji and felt a hint of curiosity about its actual condition. However, regarding Xiao Ji’s actual data, only Orlina had conducted a detailed examination when it was born. After that, Xiao Ji had never undergone any detailed inspections, so their understanding of this Spirit Beast, which they had never seen before, was limited.

If Xiao Ji’s Beast Tamer hadn’t been Feng Yuan, who was obviously not one to be trifled with, those in the research institutes would probably have tried every means to persuade Feng Yuan to let them thoroughly study Xiao Ji’s condition. Xiao Ji’s situation was just too special, whether it was its Attributes or its Ultimate Move. Captain Yan could be certain that he had never seen the Crimson Judgement before, and he wondered how the Eggshell Chicken, a Wind Attribute Native Level Spirit Beast, evolved into a Spirit Beast with Death Series Attributes. That was yet another peculiar aspect.

Although Xiao Ji had used Crimson Judgement in the distant past, due to the long history and lack of detailed records, no one knew about it.

"A physical examination? I don’t think it’s necessary."

Feng Yuan yawned as he spoke. At that moment, Agunas opened a Space Gate, and Big Cat padded through it. It circled Feng Yuan and meowed happily. Xiao Ji watched warily as Feng Yuan stroked Big Cat, while Pomiti, who had been sleeping on Big Cat’s head, sleepily opened his eyes, glanced at Feng Yuan, and then curled back up into a ball to sleep.

"It wants a physical exam? Well, I suppose that’s not out of the question."

Feng Yuan said, somewhat surprised upon hearing Agunas’s translation. In reality, this combat simulation test was the focus of the examination, and the other routine assessment items were just incidental. It didn’t really matter whether participants chose to take part in them or not, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone straight into the combat simulation upon registration.

"It seems like they’ve canceled the arena mode this year?"

Agunas said, holding a flyer. In fact, due to significant changes this time, the specifics of the assessment items had not been completely settled until now, making this the formal postponement of requirements. This year’s academy evaluation would no longer change the content of the assessment as long as no serious accidents occurred, and the current announcement would prevail.

"It’s normal. The arena matches and the combat assessment clash. There’s no problem canceling the arena matches, but if the other assessment items haven’t changed, that seems to be a problem."

Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s feathers as he spoke, and Agunas frowned slightly and said,

"Judged by individual strength, it’s indeed not quite appropriate. In that case, Cotton’s score might be lowered."

"Actually, they overlooked this early on. A support-type Spirit Beast as the first Beast Tamed doesn’t necessarily mean it’s weak."

Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly as he spoke. Indeed, once there were two or more Beasts Tamed, to facilitate coordination, one would typically choose a support-type Beast Tamed. Although combinations like Yang Hongzhi’s, where one Beast is offensive and one is defensive, are also common, they aren’t really suited for wilderness exploration.

But that person wasn’t planning to mix in the wilderness exploration for long anyway; Feng Yuan knew that after traveling, he intended to join the Special Duty Team, so his choice wasn’t surprising.

"Anyway, since it wants to go for a check-up, it’s no big deal."

Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji’s head as he said this. As for whether they could discover anything amiss, that was unlikely. Determining if one was a Divine Beast through a physical examination was extremely difficult, after all, Divine Beasts only exhibited a significant difference in Energy once they had reached the Divine Beast Level.

Xiao Ji now merely seemed much stronger than others of its level, but it was far from the strength of a Divine Beast Level. Aside from divine authority, there weren’t many characteristics of a Divine Beast, and using instruments to detect Xiao Ji’s divine identity was not very likely – perhaps only the Hunters had the potential to discern it.

After all, their equipment might be able to detect the divine authority Energy on Xiao Ji, but Feng Yuan guessed that Great Xia probably didn’t have the capability to do that yet.

"Are you taking it to the subsequent assessments?"

Chen Xin looked at Xiao Ji beside Feng Yuan with some surprise. She had thought that Feng Yuan wouldn’t come at all today since his strength was obvious to all, and no matter how the assessment mode changed, it wouldn’t be too much for him, including the potential assessment. No one knew Xiao Ji’s actual condition, but no one would say that Xiao Ji lacked potential.

Sometimes people felt regret; if Xiao Ji hadn’t been so severely injured when it was still in the egg, its potential might have been unlimited. Everyone knew that no matter how strong Feng Yuan was, he couldn’t completely make up for the loss of potential caused by the injuries a Spirit Beast suffered during the egg stage. Still, the stronger one was, the more evident the loss.

"It wants to know how strong it really is; I have no choice but to accompany it."

Feng Yuan spoke with a helpless demeanor. He truly didn’t think there were Spirit Beasts of the same level that could compete with it – after all, it was a Divine Beast, and it would be odd if an Ordinary Spirit Beast could easily surpass it.
