Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2184 - 2185: Final Exams

No matter what Feng Yuan was thinking, ultimately, before the end-of-term exam arrived, he did not seek out those people, and the One-leaf Fox and the Little Leaf Boy left the estate as the treatment concluded.

Not just them, those juvenile Spirit Beasts who had finished their treatment also returned to their respective groups, spreading information about the estate to the nearby Wild Spirit Beasts.

With the first phase of experiments concluded, Feng Yuan organized the treatment videos and methods into a file and tossed it to Liao Yu to pass on. Although he had roughly categorized and marked the significance and purpose of various treatment methods, the information was still somewhat chaotic due to a lack of thorough organization.

Nevertheless, this was a significant surprise for Great Xia because, as the Wild Spirit Beasts spread the news, even without Agunas and others protecting it, the estate still became an extremely safe place.

Because it had the same function as human hospitals for Wild Spirit Beasts, and for them, it was also a place needing their special protection. Even for Patado, who was mainly responsible for treatment and care, it was to the point where they could move freely around the wilderness near Maomu City.

There’s no way around it. Human-set hospitals can only heal their wounds but are helpless against things like internal injuries, especially for juvenile Spirit Beasts, since the potions needed for treatment are not simple.

Moreover, hospitals are not reassuring enough, they couldn’t stay by the juvenile Spirit Beasts’ side throughout the treatment process due to their own unforeseen circumstances.

This is also the reason hospitals rarely consider solving the internal injuries of juvenile Wild Spirit Beasts like Feng Yuan, due to the high difficulty.

The estate set up by Feng Yuan, on the other hand, is different, as it mainly provides treatment through Spirit Beasts, making it more acceptable to Wild Spirit Beasts compared to human doctors.

Furthermore, Feng Yuan didn’t originally plan to do much; it was just because he thought it seemed quite good. Therefore, after the preliminary attempt, this place became a crucial sanctuary for their offspring.

No choice, due to conflicts in the wild, the chances of juvenile Spirit Beasts carrying internal injuries are very high. However, in the past, they were helpless since they’re not human and couldn’t conduct specialized research on treatment methods.

The appearance of the estate gave them hope, as with Feng Yuan’s guidance, Patado and others were able to resolve most internal injuries, which was sufficient.

This is also why Patado, responsible for maintaining the estate operations, became a primary protection target. Whether appearing on any Wild Spirit Beasts’ territory, they would be protected.

Of course, currently, Patado and others are unaware of this matter because they are busy treating newly admitted Spirit Beasts and have no time to wander outside.

For Patado and others, treating injured Spirit Beasts is enough to make them feel fulfilled.

As the temperature gradually lowered, the end-of-term exams arrived amidst the students’ nervousness. For Feng Yuan, the exams themselves had no difficulty, especially since the Beastmaster grading standards hadn’t been modified. The practical part of the exams that relied on grading became simpler.

For students of Feng Yuan’s year, they had ample practical experience, making passing the exams easy even without relying on new Crystal Stone Domains, let alone having both the Crystal Stone Domain and Burst Form as advantages.

The academy considered increasing the difficulty but decided against it after careful consideration. While they could raise the standards, doing so would also cause issues.

After all, the Crystal Stone Domain’s enhancement varies significantly across different Spirit Beasts, especially since some require Domain Awakening to shine, which may not be beneficial.

Moreover, strength grading is more about giving them a correct understanding of their own capabilities. Currently, few Wild Spirit Beasts use Crystal Stone Domains, and the Ancient Ruins do not involve them, making them unsuitable as a judging standard.

Thus, students from various academies in the Great Xia found the practical part of the end-term exams relatively easy. They were already equipped with Crystal Stone Domains; even if other academies’ freshmen lacked practical experience like Feng Yuan and his peers, their overall strength was considerably higher than previous years with the Domain boost.

Compared to the practical part, the cultural part of the exam caused quite a headache, as cultural courses, although secondary in position, are still equally critical. Despite the academy saying nothing, they quietly increased the difficulty of cultural exams.

After all, as far as the academy was concerned, the practical part had become easier. Since increasing practical difficulty wasn’t viable, balancing with higher cultural exam difficulty was better.

After all, this was very important to them as insufficient knowledge could hinder progress, even if brute force might not suffice.

This understanding was shared even if unspoken by the academy. Feng Yuan’s classmates could think of it; however, understanding is one thing, and the sudden increase in cultural difficulty was nonetheless grueling. They had paid little attention to cultural courses before, making last-minute cramming during this period challenging.

With the end of the last exam, everyone felt relieved. No matter the outcome, it was, at least, over. Surely, emotions would vary once results were out.

But for now...

Pre-holiday celebration~

Feng Yuan did not join the classmates’ celebratory ensemble because it held little meaning for him. While this term he got to know many, it was merely acquaintance and not considered as friendship.

Nonetheless, Feng Yuan could not resist Qi Chen’s persuasion and chose to attend the banquet.

The academy’s dining hall, as the best location for holding banquets, was always the first choice for teachers and students. Yet because of limited space, freshmen typically struggled to compete for its use against seniors.

But with Feng Yuan as an exceptional presence among freshmen this time, they secured the dining hall for the banquet under the pretense that he would attend.

There was no alternative. This semester alone, Feng Yuan had helped Maomu Academy a lot; thus, even without Feng Yuan stepping in, the dining management still opted to do him a favor.

Of course, seniors didn’t mind losing the dining hall for the banquet. After all, unlike freshmen, financials are not a concern for them; the money earned from various commissions was enough for a city-wide event.

Although the academy’s dining hall offered convenience for hosting celebration banquets and getting back to dorms afterward, seniors didn’t mind finding a bigger restaurant in the city for a more luxurious feast.

Compared to external specialized catering, the academy’s dining facilities were indeed lacking.

Freshmen wouldn’t worry about such details, lacking funds compared to seniors. Despite making an effort this term, their earnings were limited to nurturing their Beast Tamers.

Besides convenience, the dining hall’s biggest perk is saving money, which was crucial for the freshmen.

For Feng Yuan, these concerns were trivial, as he wasn’t short on money. Without Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan’s persuasion, he wouldn’t have bothered with the celebratory banquet.

Unlike a formal banquet, this celebration placed no demands on attire, so Feng Yuan attended in casual wear.

"Oh, Qi Chen, you’re quite formally dressed~"

Meeting at the agreed time, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but tease Qi Chen, who was wearing his school uniform. Scratching his head, Qi Chen laughed sheepishly,

"I thought at least... it should be a bit more formal."

"It’s a celebration as they say, unlikely to be formal~"

Looking at the festively decorated dining hall filled with streamers and balloons, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but comment.
