Chapter 1646: Chapter 1647: Duel
On the second day, the freshman challenge competition in Yufeng City officially began. Since the competition needed to be completed in one day, the entire tournament adopted a points system. To facilitate tier classification, Yufeng Academy specially dispatched teachers and senior students to provide rating challenge services in the first round. Challenging them, once victorious, would earn higher points than normal matches, thereby maximizing the avoidance of an unfair battle like Feng Yuan challenging Tan Xueluo in the first match.
Pressing down on Xiao Ji’s head with one hand, Feng Yuan asked Xiao Ji,
“Who are you planning to challenge? Anyway, it’s best not to bully ordinary people.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji’s eyes locked onto one of the teachers. It certainly wouldn’t choose an easy opponent. However, noticing Xiao Ji’s gaze, Feng Yuan scratched his head a bit helplessly and said,
“You really know how to pick, immediately choosing the strongest one.”
“Isn’t that great? At least for you, it makes no difference at all.”
Veronia chuckled lightly and said, rolling her eyes, Feng Yuan said with irritation,
“It makes no difference, but can it really fight against a Legendary Level opponent? Don’t let it end up with me stepping in again, just like the previous challenge with the Jingming Divine Monkey.”
Xiao Ji was stunned, remembering yesterday’s battle and suddenly felt a bit flustered. In yesterday’s exchange, it was basically a sparring between Feng Yuan and the Jingming Divine Monkey, as for Xiao Ji? Its attacks were all easily blocked by the Jingming Divine Monkey, even the Divine Beast Technique had no effect on it.
Reminded by Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji immediately changed opponents this time. Looking at the Yufeng Academy student with the Spirit Ape Warrior, Feng Yuan nodded and said,
“This is acceptable, at least it’s a type you can handle.”
That senior sister happened to notice this seemingly strange combination and couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she heard his words, saying,
“You really are something else. Although I can’t figure out what type of Spirit Beast it is, its aura should only be at Good Level, right?”
“Hehe, underestimating Xiao Ji, you’ll suffer for that～”
“Whatever, the challenge is only once. If you fail, you’ll have to start from zero points, and even if you’re strong, it’s not easy to reach a high rank.”
Seeing that Feng Yuan was wearing a martial robe suggesting he was a Martial Dao cultivator, the senior sister reminded him again. As for why she didn’t think Feng Yuan was a new student at their school?
Their Academy had its own training uniform, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t easily switch to something else. Moreover, Feng Yuan wearing that martial robe gave her a feeling similar to their Academy’s Divine Beasts, which wasn’t a joke. Even among the senior students, only a few had this aura, let alone the new students.
However, Feng Yuan didn’t mind the well-intentioned reminder from the other side. If this challenge competition wasn’t essentially to make Xiao Ji happy, he wouldn’t even bother coming. After confirming with Xiao Ji again, Feng Yuan walked over to her and said,
“Then, I will choose to challenge you.”
Seeing this, the senior sister could only accept. Yet, the teacher initially eyed by Xiao Ji noticed something upon seeing Feng Yuan’s martial robe and seemed surprised. If he guessed correctly, that guy should be Feng Yuan.
On the stage, both of them got ready. Ignoring the opponent and their Spirit Beast, Feng Yuan signaled to Xiao Ji to initiate the attack, casually transforming nine small shields into a Long Halberd, Feng Yuan said,
“Be careful now～”
“Weaponization of energy? As expected, there’s some skill.”
Narrowing her eyes, the senior sister slowly closed them. Upon seeing this, Feng Yuan was momentarily perplexed before quickly reacting in astonishment and said,
“Is this… Telekinesis?”
“Martial Dao·Mind’s Eye.”
Calmly said the senior sister with her eyes closed. Although her Spirit Ape Warrior had Rare Level power, overshadowing the Good Level significantly, she didn’t mind guiding Feng Yuan a bit. Unfortunately, she hadn’t realized Xiao Ji was too unique.
Since Xiao Ji was overwhelmed by the Jingming Divine Monkey yesterday, Feng Yuan, after careful consideration, sought help from Agunas and Veronia to maintain the space in this area. This way, Xiao Ji could use its Divine Beast Technique without restraint.
“Indeed, coming in with a powerful ultimate move～”
Veronia chuckled lightly, spinning her parasol, and activated the Mirror Space. Everyone was temporarily drawn into a special Mirror Space. Because Yufeng City received a notification from Agunas, they didn’t immediately implement emergency measures against the abnormal phenomenon. After confirming no issues with Agunas, they enviously watched the special energy appearing at Yufeng Academy.
Solely for giving his Beast Tamer sufficient space to showcase its skills, only someone blessed by the Divine Beasts could pull off such a feat.
Watching the sky, the continuously falling dark blue fireballs and the cracks piercing the blue sky, the senior sister looked at Feng Yuan in shock. She never imagined that his Beast Tamer could achieve such a level. Agunas helplessly waved a claw, instantly extinguishing all the dark blue fireballs landing outside the stage.
Even though in the Mirror Space Xiao Ji’s attacks wouldn’t cause environmental damage, this didn’t mean there were no issues. If someone got hurt, it would still be troublesome.
On the podium, a kind-faced middle-aged man never took his gaze off the stage where Feng Yuan stood. Naturally, the Jingming Divine Monkey wouldn’t appear in its true form, otherwise, it would cause trouble in Yufeng City. Although many people knew of its existence, not everyone was aware yet.
If it were to be exposed publicly, those who once appeared in Maomu City might come here again. Of course, maybe they wouldn’t be interested, after all, Martial Dao Divine Beasts are quite special. Besides their extremely strong combat power, their martial will ensures they won’t be easily controlled or influenced.
As for exploiting them? Martial Dao Divine Beasts are still Divine Beasts, deceiving and exploiting them carries the risk of being hunted by all Divine Beasts.
“What are you doing…”
Seeing Feng Yuan merely dodging her attack, the senior sister felt puzzled. She could sense Feng Yuan’s combat strength far surpassed her own, otherwise the fight wouldn’t seem so effortless. It’s just that, why hasn’t he acted?
Glancing at the position in the sky where Xiao Ji was, Feng Yuan smiled and said,
“I just want to make it happy. I don’t know why, but it just likes the feeling of fighting alongside me. If I were to exert my full strength, perhaps it would be unhappy.”
“I see.”
Understanding Feng Yuan’s intent, the senior sister slowly opened her eyes looking at Feng Yuan. The Mind’s Eye was ineffective on him. Even though leveraging the Mind’s Eye could discern Feng Yuan’s movements, his reaction speed and movement surpassed hers. Physical resilience falling short, seeing his actions was pointless.
Regarding coordinating with her Beast Tamer, not to mention that his Beast Tamer was attacking hers, even if there was a chance, she didn’t believe the Spirit Ape Warrior could really approach Feng Yuan. That guy was clearly still suppressing his powers. Yet, she couldn’t comprehend why such a figure appeared among freshmen. Could he be from Great Xia Academy? But why would he travel so far for such a small competition?
Because she didn’t care too much about little rumors, she didn’t know about Feng Yuan’s existence. While he participated in many major events, very few details were promotional.
Only when situations requiring various reasons to address involved Feng Yuan, would there be a possibility to learn about him. Consequently, she misjudged thinking he was among the top at Great Xia’s elite academies. Generally, people wouldn’t be as nonchalant as Feng Yuan.
“Tsk, blocking it head-on.”
Gathering strength in her hands, the senior sister directly grabbed the black Long Halberd in Feng Yuan’s hand. Seeing her like this, Feng Yuan released his grip, and the halberd instantly reverted to nine small shields. Meanwhile, she planned to exploit this gap when Feng Yuan had no weapon to advance quickly, but unfortunately, Feng Yuan swiftly backed off, summoning, and the nine small shields transformed into nine black swords stabbing towards her.
Unexpectedly, she smashed the black swords with her fists and continued to charge fiercely. Seeing this, Feng Yuan smirked slightly, standing in place waiting for her to come close, grabbing her fist, leveraging the force, and slamming her to the ground.
“Too hasty, that’s not how the Jingming Divine Monkey’s Martial Dao should be played.”
A creepy smile appeared on Feng Yuan’s face as he said this, generating a Psychic Bullet from his fingertips. Seeing this, all those aware of the Jingming Divine Monkey stood there stunned. Isn’t this the common attack method used by the Jingming Divine Monkey?
