Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1930 - 1931: Return to School

Long Boduo thought for a moment and shook his head, saying

"Not interested, camping... We usually run in the wild, it’s really..."

Feng Yuan smiled but didn’t say anything. Camping might be attractive to Qi Xiaoshuang and the others, but for Feng Yuan and his group, it wasn’t quite the same. Even though they hadn’t camped in the wild often yet, it was only a matter of time as the course progressed.

After ruling out Mao Mu Forest as an option, they left Cha Mu Specialty Town and prepared to head to other venues, and just at that moment, the parade on the street had begun.

Looking at the bustling crowd and the parade procession happening, Feng Yuan said

"Wanna go have a look?"

"We could, after all, it’s not yet crowded to the point of being impenetrably packed."

Veronia smiled slightly and said, since they were outside Cha Mu Specialty Town, although most tourists here changed into traditional attire, there were still quite a few in modern clothing, as the dress code wasn’t as restricted as inside the town.

The wide streets not only accommodated more visitors but also prevented everyone from crowding together.

Due to the difficult entry into the specialty town, besides more casual people like Feng Yuan and his group, most wanted to have a full day of fun, unlike the street tourists.

Most of those tourists watched performances for a while, took some photos as souvenirs, and then left. There wasn’t anywhere to sit outside, unlike in the specialty town where snacks killed time, so people naturally didn’t linger long.

Feng Yuan and his group just enjoyed the area for a short while and then moved on.

Originally, Feng Yuan thought they’d look strange wearing these clothes to the department store, but turns out, possibly due to everyone thinking the same, all venues were occupied with folks in traditional attire.

The lively festival lasted only two days, which wasn’t enough time to repair all damaged buildings at each school, but it was sufficient to eliminate safety hazards.

Back at Maomu Academy dormitory, looking at the small villa, Feng Yuan sighed and said

"Feels like it’s been a while since I stayed here, but on second thought, Xiao Qing’s villa is still the best~"

Xiao Qing let out a hissing sound as it glanced at Feng Yuan, and Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said

"Of course, it’s a portable villa after all. But, practically speaking, only you find the villa in Kong Qing Space convenient. If it were Qi Chen..."

Veronia smiled but didn’t continue, and Feng Yuan understood what she meant. After all, there were serious drawbacks to the house in an independent space, and it was unavoidable.

The issue wasn’t safety but convenience. Utilities like water and electricity couldn’t naturally appear in an independent space. Putting aside the specifics, nobody in the Alliance currently has the ability to construct cross-space power lines.

It’s quite troublesome to use the power of a Spirit Beast to supply electric energy or to use a storage device, as it requires the Spirit Beast to have a Thunder Element attribute.

Only someone like Feng Yuan, who can control any attribute power, doesn’t run into these issues when building a villa in an independent space.

Of course, for Feng Yuan, the villa in that space isn’t very useful, as most of his belongings are kept at home. Even at the school dorm, he only put in newly bought furniture, so there’s no hassle of moving.

Unlike students living in standalone villas, on the first night back at school, many in the dorm chose to chat all night.

There was no choice, even though the academy wouldn’t typically make up for missed classes, this time they had to sacrifice rest time for make-up lessons. While engaged in Jin Sha City’s relic investigation, the academy made some course adjustments, yet the teaching outcomes weren’t ideal.

During the Abnormal Space incident, teaching was halted altogether.

Although Feng Yuan and Yang Hongzhi were the ones conducting exploration and investigation, the other students weren’t affected. Still, even if normal teaching could proceed without discussing other matters, when everyone else was busy figuring out how to survive, should Maomu Academy just hold classes and wait for rescue?

Even with the warning from Divine Beasts, teachers couldn’t bring themselves to do such things, as they were Legendary Level Beastmasters after all, and couldn’t lack pride.

Even if such thoughts didn’t exist, apart from helping other schools rescued by Tamur to restore order and find enough food, there was no time to engage in teaching.

This had left their course progress quite behind. Even though all schools were affected this time, it wasn’t just about preparing for exams.

Living in denial never ends well. Although the exams haven’t started, both teachers and students can guess that everyone’s study progress is somewhat slow.

On the second day back, the exams delayed by the Abnormal Space incident finally restarted. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Due to the destruction of venues, the arena this time had to be set in the back mountain.

Though the back mountain hasn’t undergone any particular enhancements, if testing is to take place, the environment would certainly be damaged. However, since connections to the City Defense System were lost, the battlefield could provide limited protection.

Given this, Maomu Academy naturally chose the back mountain as the testing site. Even if causing irreversible damage, considering it’s a natural environment, restoration is easier.

Therefore, the academy specially brought in two Legendary Level Spirit Beasts with plant and earth attributes to oversee the process.

No other option – although teachers had Spirit Beasts with corresponding attributes, they had to protect students and prevent unguarded battles from causing irreparable harm to students and their Beast Tamers, so they couldn’t spare any effort for other matters.

This round of tests involves students engaging in one-on-one battles, unlike their teacher’s divine pets which can control their power judiciously.

Looking at the excited Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan sighed. If that guy fights without restraint, it could be a big problem.

There’s no help for it – without protection, the random Ultimate Moves Xiao Ji could unleash might cause damage so strong that even Feng Yuan wasn’t sure how severe it could get.

Tamur circled around Feng Yuan and said

"Need me to protect your opponent?"

A bit flustered, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said

"Well, you don’t need to guess what we’re thinking, doesn’t doing this tire you out?"

Staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Tamur gave a peculiar smile, circled around him and lightly brushed Feng Yuan’s shoulder with his tail, saying

"No, I wasn’t guessing. You’re just wearing your thoughts on your face."

"Really... is that so?"

Scratching his hair, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia, uncertain, asked. Though he felt Tamur was teasing him, perhaps there might be some truth to it?

With a gentle laugh, Veronia said

"Of course it’s true, look at Xiao Ji’s eyes, anyone familiar with you can easily guess what you’re thinking."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan didn’t particularly react, but Xiao Ji, on the other hand, seemed deeply affected. Noticing Xiao Ji’s strange demeanor, Feng Yuan asked curiously

"What’s wrong with it now? We weren’t even talking about it, right?"

With a light chuckle, Veronia said

"Because it has been practicing mastering energy control force all this time, and our words were denying its practice results~"

Since Feng Yuan didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Ji’s training, he wasn’t clear on what Xiao Ji had been up to lately. Seeing it like this, Feng Yuan amusedly patted its head and said

"Alright, no matter how strong you are, you can’t suddenly enhance your ability in such a short time, it’s not like evolving, let alone energy control force. Unless there’s a special form transformation, there won’t be much change in a short period."

Feng Yuan wasn’t exactly sure how long Xiao Ji had been practicing, but during the battles in the Abnormal Space, Xiao Ji hadn’t shown any obvious changes, meaning its energy control ability was still lacking then.

Now that only about a week had passed since they returned, Feng Yuan didn’t think Xiao Ji could have made much progress. Even a Divine Beast wouldn’t defy such odds, especially since Xiao Ji’s talent didn’t seem to lie there.
