Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1931 - 1932: Test

Feng Yuan didn’t bother to console Xiao Ji’s dissatisfaction too much. After all, Xiao Ji’s energy control ability was what it was. Compliments wouldn’t change it; it was better to let Xiao Ji calm down and understand its own abilities.

Seeing Feng Yuan not comforting it as usual, Xiao Ji turned its back, displaying an "I’m angry" demeanor, which made Feng Yuan helplessly smile. Feng Yuan had to approach the teacher to make arrangements. After hearing Feng Yuan’s request, the teacher gave Feng Yuan a peculiar look.

"Do you want to complete the battle test immediately? Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?"

This monthly test only involves battles; it doesn’t check more detailed data. The main purpose is for teachers to get a general understanding of their students’ Beastmaster growth.

After all, if there are any issues, they are usually reflected in the battles. Of course, whether one can see them is another story, but for these teachers with Legendary Level skills, it’s quite simple.

The teacher was puzzled about where Feng Yuan was rushing off to. Although you could leave immediately after the test, due to being classmates, everyone usually sticks around to watch until the test ends unless there’s something urgent.

Glancing at Xiao Ji behind him, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"I’m not in a hurry to do anything, it’s just... um, I want to teach it a small lesson."

The teacher looked at Xiao Ji behind Feng Yuan with doubt. A lesson? They knew Feng Yuan had a special attitude towards his beasts; at least, this Spirit Beast named Xiao Ji mostly trained on its own. Though Feng Yuan might help prepare training plans, Xiao Ji was regarded as an ideal Spirit Beast by many.

After all, being able to train independently, requiring almost no care, saves Beastmasters—especially those at this stage—a lot of energy to cultivate a second beast. The teacher didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan had to complain about.

In their view, the one to be scorned should probably be this irresponsible Beastmaster Feng Yuan.

However, the teacher did not voice these thoughts immediately, pondering how to tactfully alert Feng Yuan.

Seeing the teacher not responding, Feng Yuan placed a hand on Xiao Ji’s head, only for Xiao Ji to angrily dodge it. Looking at Xiao Ji’s angry demeanor, Feng Yuan helplessly said,

"Look, could we rearrange things? Otherwise, it won’t understand its real situation."

Scrutinizing Feng Yuan suspiciously, the teacher didn’t quite understand Feng Yuan’s idea. However, since Feng Yuan insisted, he wasn’t one to make things difficult.

Rearranging the order wasn’t a big deal, but the real situation?

The teacher was puzzled. As a Spirit Beast, Xiao Ji didn’t understand its own situation. Feng Yuan... well, he might indeed possess that ability. But does Xiao Ji truly have a problem?

When Feng Yuan appeared first, Qi Chen curiously asked Dou Yanlan,

"Why do I feel something’s off with Xiao Ji’s state?"

"Aggression..."

Observing Xiao Ji next to Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan whispered. At the moment, Xiao Ji was full of fighting spirit, and anyone could see its strong desire to fight.

To those unfamiliar with Xiao Ji, they would think this beast was rather good. After all, beasts with a high desire to fight typically have strong abilities. Only those very familiar with Xiao Ji, like Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen, sensed something amiss.

They understood Xiao Ji’s strength well. Even though Xiao Ji, always with Feng Yuan, was unclear about its own power, Qi Chen knew Xiao Ji was already strong among Spirit Beasts of its age.

If Xiao Ji seemed unaffected by battles, it was merely because Feng Yuan faced opponents that exceeded Xiao Ji’s power phase. Despite this, Xiao Ji could still contribute, not to mention compete with peers of the same age.

Combined with Xiao Ji’s unique Death Series attribute, Qi Chen hurriedly looked at Feng Yuan’s opponent, class leader Zhang Cheng, whose beast was a Good Level Flame Wolfhound. This... wouldn’t win.

No, it wouldn’t just lose, it might suffer soul-targeted damage!

While Qi Chen was anxious, Dou Yanlan noticed Tamur circling the arena and asked,

"Is he letting Tamur protect the opponent?"

Though Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen weren’t aware of Xiao Ji’s Divine Beast identity, they were clear about Xiao Ji’s strength. Xiao Ji possessed high attack power, and due to various reasons, its attacks could include strange additional effects.

For instance, the Wind of Death that targets souls—could the Flame Wolfhound really block it?

Seeing Tamur walking along the arena edge, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan certainly wouldn’t suspect Feng Yuan of setting a trap.

Even Zhang Cheng found it strange what Feng Yuan intended to do. After all, they understood the Spirit Beast around Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan wouldn’t have Tamur strike; he wasn’t that low-class.

As the battle began, the issue Feng Yuan worried about unfolded unexpectedly. Xiao Ji, holding a grudge, launched a powerful ultimate move from the outset.

Although the Flame Wolfhound attempted to evade and protect itself, unfortunately, due to Xiao Ji’s energy control problem, most of its Ultimate Moves were area effects. Not to mention their extensive coverage generally, with the limited activity space now, evasion was impossible.

Even Zhang Cheng on the side was swept into the Ultimate Move. In mid-air, Xiao Ji realized its Nether Wind was rushing toward Zhang Cheng and got worried. It only wanted victory, not to harm Feng Yuan’s classmate seriously.

Unfortunately, even after noticing the issue, Xiao Ji couldn’t immediately retract the active Nether Wind.

When this Nether Wind, similar to the Wind of Death but far stronger, was about to hit Zhang Cheng, Tamur intervened.

A gentle swipe of its claw, a temporal illusion emerged, and the black gale before Zhang Cheng dissipated as if traversing a long time instantly.

Only then did the teacher react to the danger of Xiao Ji’s attack potentially causing fatal harm to a student.

The whistle blew, and the teacher immediately had his beast intervene to stop it. Unfortunately, the Nether Wind still hadn’t dispersed. Seeing even his Legendary Level beast injured, the teacher’s gaze tightened as he seemed to understand why Feng Yuan spoke that way.

Looking at Xiao Ji, he couldn’t help but be amazed. Feng Yuan’s personal strength was already extraordinary; who knew even his Spirit Beast was so uniquely powerful.

Rarely would one see a Good Level Spirit Beast damage a Legendary Level Spirit Beast across several stages, even with Death Series ultimate moves.

Although Death Series ultimate moves target the soul, rendering many beasts without strong resistance and allowing penetration defense effects, this seldom applies to cross-stage attacks.

Of course, the reality was that the Nether Wind was Xiao Ji’s Divine Beast Technique, thus carrying both Divine Beast power and the unique Death Series effects, allowing it to harm a Legendary Level beast.

Xiao Ji returned to Feng Yuan’s side, head low in silence. This time it understood why Feng Yuan spoke previously, though it couldn’t fathom why its attack had such power.

Veronia floated by, glancing at Xiao Ji with its head down beside Feng Yuan, saying,

"It seems to have understood now~"

"Yes, and it seems it’s nearing its evolution prep stage."

Putting a hand on Xiao Ji’s head, this time Xiao Ji didn’t dodge. Feng Yuan chuckled, realizing Xiao Ji’s growth slightly exceeded his expectations. But since Tamur protected the others, Feng Yuan wasn’t worried Xiao Ji could break through that protection.

No matter how formidable Xiao Ji might be, it couldn’t cross stages to pierce Divine Beast level protection directly.

Even Eclipse and Xilnais couldn’t, as strength phases aren’t just there for show. Xiao Ji’s occasional cross-stage battles were due to its Divine Beast status suppressing usual Spirit Beasts.

Were other Spirit Beasts to have the same Divine Beast status as Xiao Ji, it couldn’t perform cross-stage confrontations.

Indeed, Feng Yuan didn’t rely on Xiao Ji’s combat strength at all.

While Feng Yuan was caught in thoughts, Xiao Ji had already moved to the recovering Flame Wolfhound and Zhang Cheng receiving urgent treatment. Veronia, astonished, glanced at Xiao Ji and asked Feng Yuan,

"It seems to be apologizing~"
