Chapter 1647: Chapter 1648: Consecutive Battles
“Psychic Bullet?!”
Seeing the blue energy sphere dancing on Feng Yuan’s fingertip, the senior exclaimed in surprise. Not only him, but everyone else was also startled by Feng Yuan’s move. Although this was not a Divine Beast Technique exclusive to the Jingming Divine Monkey, they never expected Feng Yuan to use it. On the contrary, the Jingming Divine Monkey wasn’t surprised at all. After all, Feng Yuan wasn’t an ordinary person; it knew very well what was going on with him. Using a Psychic Bullet wasn’t surprising.
“Not just that~”
With a mysterious smile, Feng Yuan said as he drew a circle in the air with his finger. The Psychic Bullet was thrown into the sky following his motion. In the next moment, a large number of sky-blue energy spheres formed in the air and rushed downward. Even though Feng Yuan was right in front, the senior couldn’t advance any further.
A solid Psychic Barrier blocked her path, and the next second, the descending Psychic Bullets engulfed her. However, even though her movements were affected due to injuries, Feng Yuan didn’t attack her but instead looked up at Xiao Ji in the sky. At this moment, Xiao Ji was fully engaged with the Spirit Ape Warrior. Feng Yuan wasn’t sure if defeating the senior would upset Xiao Ji, so to be safe, he decided to just watch.
The senior, due to Feng Yuan’s attack, had mostly lost her offensive capability. Yet, she commanded the Spirit Ape Warrior to forcefully attack Feng Yuan, glaring at him dissatisfiedly, she said:
“In a match, it’s not up to you to do whatever you want!”
“That’s not necessarily true~”
Closing his left eye and holding his index finger in front of his mouth, Feng Yuan smiled mysteriously as he spread his hands, and a sky-blue spherical Psychic Barrier expanded. The Spirit Ape Warrior’s attack hit the Psychic Barrier, causing a ripple.
“This guy really is…”
Agunas flipped its tail dismissively, watching Feng Yuan’s actions. The senior certainly wouldn’t surrender so soon, considering the fight had just begun. If she hoped her beast could break through Feng Yuan’s Psychic Barrier, she was dreaming. That barrier wasn’t set with Xiao Ji’s power but with Feng Yuan’s own strength. Even they would have a hard time breaking it.
Not understanding Feng Yuan’s true skill, the senior retreated to one side, allowing her Spirit Ape Warrior to attack Feng Yuan. However, the attack only caused ripples on the barrier and nothing more, while in the sky, Xiao Ji continued its relentless assault.
“What’s going on over there?”
By this time, someone had finished their challenge and was checking out the other arenas for intel. When they saw Feng Yuan’s side, they froze. What kind of trickery was this? In other arenas, the Beastmasters and their beasts were fighting in tandem, attack and counterattack, but this one…
Each Beastmaster hiding on one side, though one Beastmaster’s beast was attacking the presumed challenger, what’s with that turtle shell-like dome? After observing for a bit, he could tell that this dome was something the Spirit Ape Warrior couldn’t break.
It seemed like every attack from the Spirit Ape Warrior caused ripples in the dome, but those ripples looked fake. The same wave patterns appeared with every attack, like added special effects. Without even asking, he could guess it was meant to string along the Spirit Ape Warrior’s attacks.
However, he guessed wrong; Feng Yuan was doing this only because he didn’t want the senior to declare his victory directly. After all, Xiao Ji probably hadn’t had enough fun. If the senior realized the Spirit Ape Warrior couldn’t touch him, she might announce his win, which wouldn’t be good.
Even though he didn’t need the rest, other contestants with strong abilities did, so he might end up waiting for another match.
Despite his disguises, the senior eventually caught on. Seeing the Spirit Ape Warrior produce the same ripples with a light touch as with full force, she realized Feng Yuan was toying with her. Fuming with a dark expression, she loudly announced Feng Yuan’s victory and stomped off the arena with the Spirit Ape Warrior in tow.
Xiao Ji landed beside Feng Yuan, looked at him proudly as it flapped its wings and chirped a few times. Seeing that Xiao Ji didn’t seem upset, Feng Yuan patted its head without explaining what had just happened. Maybe things were fine just as they were~
Qi Chen and the others chose a senior who didn’t seem particularly strong. After all, not everyone was like Feng Yuan, capable of overwhelming everyone with sheer strength. Yet even so, after Feng Yuan’s round ended, they were still in the heat of battle.
Carrying Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan moved around, while Xiao Ji’s tail feathers flicked at the sight of intense battles. Just then, a staff member came over to notify Feng Yuan that his next opponent was ready. Xiao Ji leaped down from Feng Yuan’s arms, looking at him excitedly. Gently tapping Xiao Ji on the head, Feng Yuan chuckled and shook his head, saying:
“Alright, let’s go.”
“I didn’t expect my opponent to be you.”
Seeing Feng Yuan standing on the opposite side of the arena, a boy said with a wry smile. Rubbing his head, Feng Yuan asked quizzically:
“Why? Is there a problem?”
“Even the senior who’s supposedly the strongest under the teachers isn’t your match. I doubt I could beat you either.”
Though he said that, the boy didn’t give up. No matter what, he intended to fight. He wouldn’t just surrender because his opponent was too strong!
Taking his stance, Feng Yuan stood still, waiting for the other to initiate the attack. Again, just like before, he would distract the enemy while Xiao Ji launched an attack. However, unlike the match with the senior, this boy’s skills were considerably weaker. Even Xiao Ji’s attacks had a significant impact on him.
Before long, his opponent had already fallen, and Xiao Ji landed, proudly flapping its wings as it chirped at Feng Yuan. Patting Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said:
“Even in continuous combat, they need to find someone to fight.”
In the stands, the officials were receiving urgent reports. Feng Yuan had already secured a dominant lead in points with his streak of victories, leaving no suspense for first place. Yet he continued to challenge others, even though he had already faced everyone in the top ten. It wouldn’t make sense to pit him against weaker opponents, right?
As the host was grappling with this issue, the Jingming Divine Monkey approached and said:
“Leave it to me next.”
It didn’t believe Feng Yuan was fighting just for the wins. His true aim was likely what he had said, to let Xiao Ji enjoy the fun of battling together. So, in that case…
Seeing the Jingming Divine Monkey stepping up, a leader worriedly asked:
“Is this really okay?”
“Rest assured, I know what he’s after.”
With a slight smile, the Jingming Divine Monkey walked towards the arena. Despite some concerns, there wasn’t a better option, so they could only arrange it as suggested.
“It’s really you?”
Seeing the kindly-faced middle-aged man on the opposite side, even though he appeared in human form, the special fighting robe and his aura confirmed his identity. Feng Yuan hadn’t expected the Jingming Divine Monkey to intervene. Yet upon reflection, it wasn’t so unexpected.
After all, aside from the initial senior, the subsequent opponents weren’t particularly strong. Moreover, as the battles continued, their conditions deteriorated, while Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji—one barely exerting, the other a Divine Beast—boasted enormous endurance. As a result, things got progressively easier, leaving Xiao Ji less satisfied with the challenges.
By now, Xiao Ji also recognized the opponent, flapping its wings and letting out a cautious cry. Xiao Ji didn’t forget its thrashing at the hands of the Jingming Divine Monkey the day before. However, why it was on the arena was a mystery Xiao Ji couldn’t solve. Uninterested in providing an explanation, Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji’s head and asked:
“So, shall we start the fight?”
Eyeing Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment before nodding. Even if it couldn’t defeat the opponent, retreat was not an option it would consider!
With a slight smile, the Jingming Divine Monkey summoned a Spirit Ape Warrior and said:
“Then, my partner will be this one.”
In the audience below, curious onlookers couldn’t help but engage in hushed discussions upon seeing the Spirit Ape Warrior. It was, after all, a Legendary Level Spirit Beast, surely overkill against freshmen. But that was because they hadn’t seen Feng Yuan’s prowess; otherwise, they wouldn’t think so.
Feng Yuan had no objection. Regardless of the Spirit Beast’s level, as long as Xiao Ji enjoyed the fight, he was fine with it.
“Let’s begin then~”
Poised for combat, Feng Yuan addressed the Jingming Divine Monkey.
