Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1166 - 1167: Preparing for the Competition

"There’s no limit to the competition, Mr. Strong One~"

Feng Yuan said with a sly smile to the male student, who paused briefly, stared at Feng Yuan for a while, and then revealed a slight smile, saying

"I’m not one to look for trouble. You and those ordinary people are not the same. You surely haven’t relied solely on so-called miracles to get where you are now, right?"

Although it was a question, it was conveyed with a strong tone of certainty. Seeing that the other party was not taking the bait, Feng Yuan felt somewhat regretful. But then again, it was to be expected; those people weren’t foolish enough to pick a fight without recognising him. The dislikes from Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan seemed to be of little use against him, as for Feng Yuan’s goodwill? He didn’t need that either.

He knew that Feng Yuan had no interest in their circles, nor would he lower his dignity to get close to him for any ulterior motives. Could someone with such motives really deceive the Divine Beast by his side? He didn’t hold out much hope for that. If those Divine Beasts were so easily fooled, then the great familial houses would all have Divine Pact Makers.

Anyway, he wasn’t asking anything of Feng Yuan as of now, so just not provoking him would suffice. As for trying to curry favor with him? Although it could be advantageous, the difficulty was too high and it wasn’t a top priority.

Of course, just seeing how others simply flattered as they encountered him was enough to guess their thoughts, nearly all identical except for this male student who approached Feng Yuan.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn’t? Don’t you think it’s rude to say all that and then just run away?"

With a smile still on his face, Feng Yuan said coolly, as if to say that both Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen were ordinary people. Was this a challenge thrown at him? The other party maintained a polite smile, saying

"Aren’t I telling the truth?"

These great families, due to their inherent lack of potential to win the favor of Divine Beasts, are different from ordinary people seeking adventures; they seek stability in everything they do. While not opposing the idea of miraculous encounters, they adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Unless an opportunity presents itself, such encounters don’t factor into their growth plans.

"But it seems that Divine Pact Makers are stronger~"

Feng Yuan looked at the other party with a nonchalant yet mocking expression and calmly stated. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the male student shook his head with a look of disappointment and left. Continuing the debate was not difficult, but he was aware that Feng Yuan had formed good relations with many Divine Beasts. In theory, Feng Yuan might not have the means to make his friends into Divine Pact Makers, but just the mere possibility was enough reason for him not to pave the way for others.

Moreover, if he were to continue, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t really anger Feng Yuan. He was just used to flaunting his strength in front of ordinary people, never having considered confronting Feng Yuan head-on.

The advantage of being a Divine Pact Maker was far too significant, and Feng Yuan might even be a stronger entity than a Divine Pact Maker; he certainly didn’t want to bring trouble upon his family.

Seeing the other party’s fleeing figure, Feng Yuan scratched his head and didn’t take it too seriously. As for whether Qi Chen and the others would be angry? Glancing over at them, Feng Yuan knew it was unlikely, for the descendants of those great families knew all too well the nature of their peers. They might not see eye to eye with each other, but due to the variable presence of Divine Pact Makers, the great families had not dared to oppress ordinary people, and thus there was no outright hostility between them.

"This is really... baffling."

Looking at the vanishing figure of the person, Qi Chen said helplessly. As for the showoff who had just approached them, he wasn’t sure what to make of it. Dou Yanlan chuckled softly and said

"After all, they are beings who have lost the favor of Divine Beasts. Naturally, they will try to find ways to regain their sense of superiority in other areas. Of course, their methods..."

In the pursuit of power, they could not truly choose a Spirit Beast they liked or got along with well as their Beast Tamer; unlike ordinary people who mainly chose their Beast Tamers based on first impressions. How many descendants of great families truly had the luxury to select Beast Tamers based on their personal preferences?

Even Zhong Liuyan’s Xiao Bai, in Dou Yanlan’s view, only formed a good bond through long-term interaction. Cotton meowed and wagged its tail in Dou Yanlan’s arms, expressing its dislike for the person who had just left. Glancing at its sharp claws, it pondered whether it could defeat the other’s Beast Tamer. After a short while, it turned to look at Ah Mu behind Qi Chen; alas, it was not one of those Spirit Beast adept at direct combat...

Feng Yuan rubbed the displeased Xiao Ji’s head, holding it and saying

"Let’s go, get ready."

He naturally knew why Xiao Ji was angry; after all, the previous Xiao Ji was just the ’ordinary person’ he referred to, even weak. At the beginning, Xiao Ji’s Spirit Beast Egg was on the verge of death, and without his special methods, it would have been impossible to save it within a year.

Just like Yue Bai, whose forced evolution failure would inevitably result in irreversible potential loss, encountering such an incident during the Spirit Beast Egg phase meant that Xiao Ji’s potential was almost halved compared to his peers. If it weren’t for becoming a Divine Beast and forcibly enhancing and compensating for that lost potential, Xiao Ji probably wouldn’t possess such strong capabilities now.

The words from that person just now hit Xiao Ji’s sore spot; no matter how strong it is now, it has experienced those moments of extreme weakness.

"I’ll cooperate with you."

In the preparation area, Feng Yuan held a black Longbow and spoke to Xiao Ji, who was preparing for battle. Perhaps stimulated by that male student just now, Xiao Ji was taking this guidance competition very seriously. Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Are you sure this won’t break through the arena’s protective barrier?"

Feng Yuan’s strength was fickle, and Qi Chen couldn’t be certain that an Arrow Rain wouldn’t just penetrate those devices meant to reduce the Ultimate Move’s power and protect human safety on the field. After all, that guy’s strength was sometimes exaggerated—even clashing directly with Agunas was not an arduous task for him.

"How could that be? This is Xiao Ji’s power, not that of Agunas."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan spoke, somewhat speechlessly. If the protection devices couldn’t even stop Good Level power, then Feng Yuan thought it would be necessary to ask Liao Yu to contact the relevant department to investigate. The provided combat arena must at least ensure that the safety protections would not fail during intense combat involving Elite Level Spirit Beasts.

There was no other way; the mainstream combat power of ordinary people was only at the Good Level to Elite Level. If the protective devices could be breached by combat at this level, could the venue only serve high school students? Even for Qi Chen and the others, their Beast Tamer strength might increase a level after some time.

For academy students, if one’s Beast Tamer strength does not reach the Elite Level during the first year, they are deemed failures. It may not be 100% for regular college students, but most of them manage to raise their Beast Tamer strength to the Elite Level in the first year. Of course, when it comes to combat power, academy students far outstrip others, unless some miracle takes place.

"Xiao Ji’s power... is also somewhat unstable."

Qi Chen looked with some concern at his peers communicating with their Spirit Beasts. Apart from his own classmates, the others were clearly from noble families. If Feng Yuan accidentally hurt them, it would not only potentially cause trouble for Feng Yuan but also for Zhong Liuyan.

"As long as it doesn’t use Incarnation of Power or Coming of the Future, its strength is stable at the Good Level."

Veronia glanced at Xiao Ji and said. Although it hadn’t seen Xiao Ji use those Ultimate Moves when it arrived, it knew Xiao Ji was capable of using them. As for why Xiao Ji isn’t using them now? That’s simply because its own strength is already sufficient to handle the competition.

As for those messy incidents? Both Coming of the Future and Incarnation of Power only provide Legendary Level capabilities, and for the recent events, either they didn’t require much strength, or... even Agunas would have a headache, so naturally, there was no opportunity to use those powers.

Xiao Ji raised its head to glance at Veronia then lowered its head again, pondering its tactics. Feng Yuan did not plan to command Xiao Ji’s battle. That way, later in the match, it could only rely on itself. Although Qi Chen felt somewhat puzzled about Feng Yuan’s almost laissez-faire approach, it seemed that Xiao Ji didn’t oppose it.

"Be careful not to hurt those people; otherwise, she might have a hard time explaining."

Dou Yanlan walked up to Feng Yuan and said in a low voice, to which Feng Yuan responded with an awkward smile and said helplessly,

"Do I look like that kind of villain?"
