Capítulo 1638: Chapter 1639: Weekend Plans

Sighing, Feng Yuan could only patiently comfort Xiao Ji. After a while, when having dinner with Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan unexpectedly heard an interesting piece of news.

“Are you saying there’s a freshman challenge competition happening in Yufeng City next door this weekend?”

Surprised, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and asked somewhat skeptically. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said,

“Of course, you can ask the teacher about it as well. However, Maomu City isn’t holding such events because, unlike their academy, ours isn’t… as unique.”

Yufeng Academy in Yufeng City is different from Maomu Academy. Though ranked lower than Maomu Academy, perhaps due to being constrained by local resources yet unwilling to accept it, they have carved out a unique path by focusing solely on the practical side of the Beastmaster discipline.

All subjects related to potions and cultivation have been ignored. As far as Feng Yuan knows, Yufeng Academy only offers courses in Beastmastery. Other subjects like potions and cultivation revolve around the needs of Beastmastery. When it comes to combat power, their students may not necessarily be weaker than Maomu Academy’s Class 1 students; they might even be stronger.

It’s just that Maomu Academy is more balanced. Compared to Yufeng Academy, when they need help from pharmacists and other professions, they can seek help from senior students within the school rather than seeking renowned pharmacists outside. After all, most of the time, the custom spiritual medicine and resources they require don’t really demand those professionals’ involvement.

Asking them for help is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon. Still, there’s no alternative because Yufeng Academy lacks any specialization apart from practical combat.

As for the freshman challenge competition, Feng Yuan hasn’t heard much about it since it seems not to be well known, at least not in Maomu City.

“Although it’s a region-unrestricted freshman challenge competition, the overall strength should be about the same as our school’s.”

Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan said, naturally guessing the shortcomings of this freshman challenge. At least, more renowned academies like Great Xia’s southern academy wouldn’t be interested, as they’re stronger than Maomu Academy.

Unfortunately, while Yufeng Academy’s combat power isn’t weak, it’s only strong among ordinary academies. Facing a school like the southern academy would be a one-sided crush. Even Maomu Academy without Feng Yuan wouldn’t be a match.

Of course, counting Feng Yuan would complicate things as Dou Yanlan suspected Feng Yuan alone could take down the entire southern academy. However, that would be pointless because his strength is unrelated to Maomu Academy.

“Chickens pecking at each other, huh? I wonder if the southern academy holds similar events. Oh right, shouldn’t Shangjing Academy and Great Xia Academy have them?”

“What are you planning?”

Seeing Feng Yuan’s eyes light up, Qi Chen startled and nervously asked, worrying that this guy might be thinking of causing a scene. That would be troublesome.

“Is it really interesting to go there and beat weaker opponents?”

Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in confusion. Wasn’t he disinterested in beast-taming competitions? Glancing at Xiao Ji beside him, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

“I’m just thinking of fighting alongside it. I can’t intervene in other matters, but for the Beast-Taming Competition…”

“While there might be a chance at the regional Beast-Taming Competition, as for the freshman challenge? Even Wu Feng can’t be its opponent.”

Rolling his eyes, Agunas said irritably. It wasn’t that Wu Feng lacked care for his beast, but without using the Divine Beast, there’s no chance against Xiao Ji. After all, Xiao Ji is a Divine Beast! As for targeting the Beastmaster directly? Better forget it; the chances are higher against the Divine Beast than Feng Yuan.

“But it’s so satisfying to fight! Otherwise, within the academy, few can withstand Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgement or Wind of Annihilation among other ultimate moves.”

Grinning proudly, Feng Yuan naturally said. Next to him, Xiao Ji wiggled its head, looking expectantly at Agunas. Flicking its tail, Agunas said,

“Useless, they haven’t organized such competitions, and I won’t help you with it either.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ji’s smile gradually disappeared, looking downcast and pitifully nuzzling Feng Yuan. Remembering something, Feng Yuan said,

“In that case, let’s go to Yufeng City on the weekend. Although it might not be as thrilling, we should be able to get a few rounds in, right?”

“You’re being really despicable with this.”

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas said speechlessly. As for stopping him? It couldn’t. Feng Yuan was determined to fight a few rounds with Xiao Ji. Who knows what strange things he’d do if prohibited?

“If you just want to battle, you might consider the Gladiator Arena in Shenhua City. They seem to have ongoing fights there, but…”

To prevent Feng Yuan from stirring trouble in a small pool, Qi Chen hurriedly searched for information on his phone. Reading the message Dou Yanlan sent, he hesitated before saying.

The Gladiator Arena isn’t just ordinary; it’s an event modeled after how families in the Dynasty Era resolved grievances through battles. There, battles between beasts have few restrictions, and if the difference in strength is too great, severe injuries aren’t unusual. Naturally, those participating aren’t just maniacs confident in their strength but also Beastmasters in need of money.

After all, the boss behind the Gladiator Arena has powerful influence, gathering ample resources as prizes. Though these prizes offer no incentive to extremely powerful Beastmasters, they remain a channel for ordinary folk to acquire rare resources.

“That thing, an arena-like thing, I have no interest in. Call it charming bravery if you must; less flatteringly, it’s just pleasing the audience.”

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said indifferently. He had no interest in that place. Besides, if he went, he’d fear Xiao Ji going overboard with consecutive Crimson Judgement and Death Forbidden Zone ultimate moves wiping out opponents. It’s no joke; from what he understands about Xiao Ji’s ultimate moves, most Divine Beast Techniques are almost uncontrollable.

“Seems that way…”

Recalling something, Qi Chen glanced at Xiao Ji and dropped the subject. He’d forgotten Xiao Ji’s special condition—they’d better not let it unleash a super-sized Crimson Judgement in Shenhua City, or they’d have a real uproar.

“If it’s Gladiator Arena, you might consider trying.”

Agunas suggested to Feng Yuan with ill intent. It wasn’t fond of unnecessary life-and-death struggles, even though the organizers of the Gladiator Arena prioritized safety. Still, it’s real combat where someone or a Spirit Beast gets severely injured.

Veronia glanced at Agunas and said irritably,

“You sneaky croc, suggesting he goes there—you’re asking for the entire Gladiator Arena to go bust.”

She knew Xiao Ji’s character. With such life-and-death combat, Xiao Ji would assuredly go wild and unleash Divine Beast Techniques. If Xiao Ji were an ordinary Divine Beast, that’d be one thing, but unfortunately, it’s a Death-series Divine Beast. Despite its current weakness, unique traits like obliteration, soul penetration, and targeting won’t weaken, and its power is even more terrifying due to its Authority.

“Let’s not. Shenhua City is too far; I don’t want to travel that far. Yufeng it is, not the most satisfying, but you should be happy, right?”

Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said helplessly. He just wanted to comfort Xiao Ji, who was upset because of the little flaming wolf. As for fighting? Forget it. Not interested. If he wanted to stir trouble, he could dominate the regional competition between the Divine Land and Omeilia Region. But he saw no point in it.

Looking at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji’s eyes rolled around. After a while, it spread its wings, patting Feng Yuan as if agreeing. Poking Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said jokingly,

“Can’t you pretend to be happier? Oh, by the way, we’ll have to let Tan Xueluo and the others know later.”

“Maybe they’ll go, too. I heard from classmates that quite a few want to try Yufeng’s freshman challenge.”

Smiling, Qi Chen said. If not for them discussing it, he wouldn’t have known about it. After all, Yufeng’s freshman challenge isn’t renowned.
