Chapter 976: 977

Xiao Bai, the White Shadow Wolf, lay on the knelt Qi Xiaoshuang’s knees, happily panting with its tongue out as it gazed at her. Qi Chen thought of something and looked towards Feng Yuan to ask,

"What attribute is the White Shadow Wolf exactly? And what are its preferred combat style and type?"

"What’s the matter? The strength of the White Shadow Wolf is not weak at all. If we’re really talking about potential, its potential is on the same level as those extremely rare Spirit Beasts."

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said, even though he knew Qi Chen was concerned about Qi Xiaoshuang, he felt there was no need. She wasn’t a fool, and besides, in this world, the innate potential difference between different types of Spirit Beasts isn’t an insurmountable chasm. Just like Dou Yanlan’s Cotton, although it isn’t very good when fighting alone.

But bear in mind that the combat direction Dou Yanlan has trained Cotton in is leading and team support type. Its Ultimate Moves are scarcely for solo confrontation; they’re more team-oriented. This isn’t very apparent when everyone only has one Beast Tamer, but once there are multiple Beast Tamers, Cotton’s advantages would rapidly become more pronounced.

Feng Yuan suspected that if Qi Chen doesn’t work hard, it wouldn’t be surprising if Dou Yanlan’s combat capability surpassed him. Although he hadn’t attended the last two mock assessments, he was well aware that Cotton caused quite a stir among the examiners and at least as far as he knew, many local garrison troops had offered her olive branches.

And Qi Chen... Although Ah Mu’s strength was pretty good, there was still a gap compared to Dou Yanlan. Thinking of this, Feng Yuan stroked his chin, pondering if he should give Qi Chen another push. But after some thought, he gave up. After all, he had already helped Qi Chen a lot. Anything more would be overdoing it, and if he continued, he would likely push him away. Having thought so much, Feng Yuan looked at the White Shadow Wolf and said,

"The White Shadow Wolf belongs to a rather special type of Spirit Beast. As an affiliate of the White Wolf Deity, they innately have the freedom to choose their evolutionary paths. That White Shadow Wolf has taken the water attribute route. As for the combat type, it seems that it hasn’t been decided yet. If you have no special requirements, I would recommend letting it develop on its own."

Although this might lead to initial issues with the Beast Tamer combination, in reality, that White Shadow Wolf won’t only focus on itself, or rather, without having decided on the first Beast Tamer, Feng Yuan suspected that the White Shadow Wolf would likely not settle on its development path, whether it be offense, defense, or support.

"I see, then Xiao Bai can decide for itself~"

"My first Beast Tamer is still a long way off, deciding now might cause trouble."

As she groomed the White Shadow Wolf’s fur, Qi Xiaoshuang spoke, and Feng Yuan smiled without saying anything. Surprises were everywhere, and no one knew how their Beast Tamers would turn out. While it seemed that a rational combination might be better, both he and Yang Hong Zhi clearly valued the companions themselves more than their strength.

Otherwise, Yang Hong Zhi wouldn’t have gone for a strange combination of one attack-type and one semi-attack-type. Feng Yuan guessed his original plan was to have Xiao Hui be the attacker and choose a second Beast Tamer of a support or defender type to increase his personal safety. But unforeseen circumstances led to his second Beast Tamer being Xiao Hei, who only followed an attack-oriented path.

If not for Najia joining, his team would likely face some problems now.

"Isn’t there a training field nearby?"

After taking a stroll around the neighborhood, Feng Yuan asked with some confusion. Qi Xiaoshuang looked at Feng Yuan resignedly and replied,

"How could there be? The safety standards of training and combat grounds are not sufficient, naturally, they wouldn’t be allowed here. After all, this is a family area, and if something were to go wrong, the trouble would be big."

She actually quite agreed with this practice. After all, her parents lived there too, and if there were battle or training grounds nearby, she would be worried as well. Although those places could contain the aftermath of the battles to the greatest extent, accidents could still happen, especially if someone with exaggerated strength like Feng Yuan were to deploy a few Ultimate Moves. The entire combat ground could be ruined, potentially causing damage to the surroundings.

"What a hassle, do I have to go to the arena to train?"

Feng Yuan said with a troubled scratch of his head, to which Qi Xiaoshuang looked at him with some surprise and remarked,

"I didn’t expect you to actually take the initiative to train. But it shouldn’t be necessary, should it? The academy assessment is starting in a few days, and training now won’t add much combat experience."

Feng Yuan smiled, glanced at Qi Chen behind him, and said,

"It’s not me, it’s your brother. I’m planning to see what his current strength is."

"As for me... I’m not worried at all."

Seeing Feng Yuan’s smug look, Agunas lazily flicked its tail and didn’t bother to rebuke him. That guy was truly stronger than them, and his combat experience might not be less than those from Lorraine Tower. Even though the power he could currently wield was relatively limited, making him seem not very strong, Agunas knew very well that if that guy got serious, those examiners would be no match for him.

In the end, the academy assessments were all about measuring the developmental potential of a Beast Tamer. Regardless of the content, the ultimate goal was to quantify the potential of a Beast Tamer. Xiao Ji’s potential... wasn’t that the same as cheating? No matter how it was measured, it would always max out, given that human measurements had their limits.

Even in martial combat, that guy didn’t need Xiao Ji’s power to easily handle most people; he was already that strong, so it would be odd if he was worried.

"Actually coming to the arena? Can we go in?"

Qi Chen said with a bit of a headache. The beast taming competition arena was not a facility like a sports center. Aside from not being open during competitions or other special events, it also didn’t accept individual reservations on normal days. The primary use of the combat area here was for competitions, not training.

"If you really need to train, you should consider going to the nursery, not here."

Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Feng Yuan and said. She had previously thought he was just messing around, but who would have thought he was serious?

"There’s no need. The carrying limit of the training areas in the nursery isn’t that great. And besides, don’t you think it’s interesting to train in the actual competition arena?"

"Not really..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly. Even though he didn’t know what Feng Yuan was up to, he was certain the guy was about to stir up some trouble. He took out his credentials, flashed them with pride at Feng Yuan, and said, "We can borrow the place temporarily with this; they won’t refuse〜"

Sitting on a colorful bubble floating in the air, Veronia looked at the little lizard next to her and pondered before saying, "I want to join too."

"This..."

Feng Yuan hesitated, looking somewhat reluctant. After all, he could control his own power, and he had ways to restrict Xiao Ji’s power. But Veronia was another story. Although there were chains to restrict her, he wasn’t sure he could react quickly enough. Seeing Feng Yuan’s hesitation, Veronia said discontentedly, "Are you worried I might damage the arena?"

"Yes, your Ultimate Moves are not easy to control. Plus, I just wanted to see Ah Mu’s actual combat abilities, you joining in isn’t useful."

Feng Yuan said bluntly. He wasn’t there to train, after all. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji lowered its head, looking disappointed. Suddenly, Feng Yuan scratched Xiao Ji’s neck and said helplessly, "You little guy, to be honest, our synergy is already more than enough. There’s no need to train every day. Don’t you think it’s fun to wander around with me?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ji reluctantly nodded and nuzzled against Feng Yuan with its head. Agunas flicked its tail, not bothering to say anything. It and Xiao Ji couldn’t really be considered in tune with each other. It was more about adjusting to Xiao Ji’s fighting style. That’s precisely why they knew how experienced that guy really was in actual combat.

And yet, Xiao Ji was completely unaware of this problem, simply thinking that it coordinated very well with Feng Yuan. Qi Chen looked at Ah Mu behind him and said, "Doesn’t seem necessary, does it? I’m very clear about Ah Mu’s situation."

"But I’m not clear, so how about indulging my curiosity?"

Feng Yuan said with a smile. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He, too, wanted to know what kind of evaluation Feng Yuan would give.
