Chapter 1603: Chapter 1604: Something Strange
Seeing Xiao Ji like that, Feng Yuan initially thought it was going to use a charge attack, but soon, the ever-increasing momentum made him think of another possibility.
“When did that guy master a new Divine Beast Technique? And it’s an amplification type too.”
Muttering to himself, Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised. As for how he was sure it was a Divine Beast Technique, it was because other amplification-type ultimate moves couldn’t boost power by that much.
Although he didn’t know when Xiao Ji mastered this new Divine Beast Technique, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised. Given Xiao Ji’s nature, although the first move it would master should be attack-type ultimate moves, it seemed it wouldn’t entirely dismiss those that could enhance attack power.
As Xiao Ji’s momentum underwent a drastic change, the Senyue Turtle no longer leisurely waited for Xiao Ji’s attack. Although it didn’t know what ultimate move Xiao Ji was using that could increase its power so much, it understood that being careless might lead to a failure.
In the black flames, Xiao Ji’s feathers gently floated, and as they fluffed up, Xiao Ji seemed to have gained a layer of fluff.
In the next moment, Xiao Ji suddenly halted its enhancement process and launched an attack on the Senyue Turtle. The powerful Death Series flames continuously scorched the barrier. Even though the Senyue Turtle kept summoning earth power to repair it, the barrier gradually dimmed under Xiao Ji’s assault.
Seeing this, the Senyue Turtle realized now was definitely not the time to continue waiting. In the next moment, the accumulated power in the mini forest burst out explosively, directly sending Xiao Ji flying. With a flick of its hand, nine small shields formed a net to catch the flying Xiao Ji and delivered it in front of Feng Yuan. Nudging Xiao Ji’s belly, Feng Yuan said with a grin,
“Do you get it now? You’re still far away from being able to beat it, not to mention in this kind of battle, it’s always about teamwork.”
Nestled in Feng Yuan’s embrace, Xiao Ji’s tail feathers twitched. This was quite a setback for it; stroking Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan laughed and said,
“Come on, you shouldn’t think everyone else is a weakling…”
After some comforting to Xiao Ji, who was sulking in his arms, Feng Yuan held it and returned to the classroom with the others. On the way back, Xiao Ji perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed, struggled to jump out of Feng Yuan’s arms.
Upon returning to the classroom, many people were drooping their heads looking dejected. Unfortunately, the teacher wouldn’t console them the way Feng Yuan consoled Xiao Ji, but after a while, everyone pulled themselves together and continued with the class.
After this class ended, the students who were thinking about forming teams basically calmed down. They finally understood why the academy never allowed them to form teams, although they heard that several teams existed in Class 1, they weren’t in a hurry.
After class, Feng Yuan headed to the dormitory with Xiao Ji, accompanied by Qi Chen and the others. Although they knew Feng Yuan must have come up with some new strange thing, Qi Chen and the others weren’t quite sure what it was.
The range of training equipment was too broad, and Feng Yuan didn’t explain the specifics, only mentioning it as something Xiao Ji could use.
Though Qi Chen wasn’t interested in this thing, Feng Yuan’s invitation was not something he would refuse.
On the way back to the dormitory, Dou Yanlan remembered something and asked puzzledly,
“Did you use the Spiritual Medicine brought back from there to make training equipment?”
“No, those things can’t be used like that. However, Old Wei helped deliver a lot of materials yesterday, which can be used to make training equipment for Xiao Ji.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Dou Yanlan frowned slightly. She always felt there was something off about Old Wei, but unfortunately, Feng Yuan seemed to think he was quite okay.
After thinking for a moment, she didn’t persuade further; with Agunas and the others around, it wouldn’t be easy for Old Wei to harm him even if he wanted to.
Not noticing Dou Yanlan’s subtlety, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
“He came to deliver stuff from the Grand Elder. It’s curious how the Grand Elder knew I just happened to need those things.”
Feng Yuan didn’t suspect Old Wei was lying; there was no need for it, and lying shouldn’t involve deliberately saying it was sent by someone else.
However, hearing Feng Yuan’s words, everyone was dumbfounded. The Grand Elder? Could it really be the person they were thinking of?
Tan Xueluo hesitated a moment before asking,
“Are you talking about the Grand Elder from the Elder Council?”
“Should be, otherwise he wouldn’t call him that, or make a special note.”
With hands behind his head, Feng Yuan said casually. After hearing this, everyone was speechless—The Grand Elder sent him gifts? Although theoretically possible, but…
“You really are something.”
After watching Feng Yuan for a while, Tan Xueluo said quietly. The other party laughed heartily. Compared to Tan Xueluo, Qi Chen and the others didn’t find this particularly strange. Given Feng Yuan’s situation, a gift from the Grand Elder wasn’t out of the question.
“Something’s not quite right. The Grand Elder, as a member of the Elder Council, if there really was something to be sent to him, why not choose the official channel? Though there could be problems, asking Elder Li to help deliver wouldn’t be difficult. Why didn’t he do that, instead letting Old Wei deliver it?”
Touching her chin, Dou Yanlan said solemnly. If it were any other elder, she might not think this way, but this time it was about Elder Li. Rumors circulating recently all pointed to the Grand Elder strongly supporting Elder Li, apparently hoping for him to succeed as the new Grand Elder.
Thinking of this, Dou Yanlan paused. Though the Grand Elder’s position isn’t for life, generally speaking, not many are keen to take it.
Let alone the fact that with such identity would make going in and out more complicated. Being in that position involves handling numerous affairs, which for Beastmasters, these troublesome matters would reduce their training time significantly.
Beastmasters, especially those at a high level, find their status less important. Instead, it’s the strength of their beasts that concerns them the most.
With strength, status is just a matter of time, like with Feng Yuan. In Great Xia, he receives special treatment because of his assistance to Great Xia. Without strength, how could he have helped Great Xia?
“Maybe, the things the Grand Elder wanted to send, Elder Li wasn’t made aware of? After all, this sort of thing is a relatively private matter.”
Thinking of another possibility, Feng Yuan casually mentioned. Dou Yanlan paused as if realizing something and said,
“You mean, Old Wei and the Grand Elder are friends?”
“No clue, but if someone really wanted to do something, the moment they show their true intentions, I’ll notice and handle it.”
Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. In reality, he wasn’t very worried about these matters. If it wasn’t for the fact that the thing from before originated from himself, he would have detected it already.
No choice—Aside from mortal enemies, only you know your own weaknesses the best.
Just then, Feng Yuan spoke up,
“We’re here. The Big Cat and the others should be in the dormitory now. Let’s see if they’re up to anything weird.”
As for Veronia? She mentioned going to have tea with a friend today. Though Feng Yuan wondered what kind of friend she had in Maomu Academy, he didn’t say much. Being a Divine Beast of indeterminate age, he wasn’t worried about anyone sneaking upon her.
Agunas slowly opened its eyes, looked at Feng Yuan, and said speechlessly,
“The Big Cat and the others aren’t like you, causing trouble so easily, are they?”
“With Little Ice Cream here, you never know.”
Opening the door, Feng Yuan glanced inside and saw Kong Qing chasing Little Ice Cream, hissing at it. The Big Cat had vanished somewhere, and Pomiti sat to the side, watching the two Spirit Beasts chase each other in a daze. On its head, a lock of hair had turned red.
No need for Agunas to translate; Feng Yuan knew what had happened. He didn’t know what was up with Little Ice Cream lately, but it got fascinated with bullying Pomiti, leading to situations like this now and then.
Noticing Feng Yuan returned, Kong Qing swished its tail, issuing a warning hiss. Little Ice Cream hesitated, suddenly not daring to run around.
Before Kong Qing used its special ultimate moves, it had a chance to run, but once Kong Qing got serious, it was different. If it wasn’t worried about injuring it, Kong Qing wouldn’t give it the chance to run at all.
Tan Xueluo observed Kong Qing and Pomiti with curiosity. She didn’t expect the Spirit Beasts left in the dormitory by Feng Yuan to be so lively.
Laughing, Feng Yuan led everyone to where he had placed the finished products before, only to find that the things were nowhere to be seen.
