Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1980 - 1981: 2-on-2 Battle

"I didn’t expect you to have already chosen your second beast, but... I signed the Taming Beast Contract with Qing Teng a week ago, while you let yours enter the field..."

Receiving Feng Yuan’s battle invitation, Zhang Cheng was momentarily stunned before noticing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound beside Feng Yuan. He remembered that when he entered the mountains, there was no Fluffy Fire Wolfhound with Feng Yuan.

Given Feng Yuan’s personality, he wouldn’t store a Spirit Beast in the Spirit Beast Space unless it was due to size constraints, which means this Fluffy Fire Wolfhound is Feng Yuan’s second beast obtained in the back mountains.

He admits that Feng Yuan is very strong, but this doesn’t mean the opponent has the capability to completely ignore their mutual understanding and fully unleash the beast’s complete power from the start.

We must understand that starting from the second beast, the battles are divided into team battles and one-on-one, and what they are engaged in now is a team battle.

With a shrug, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It’s nothing, I just want them all to have fun, and also to observe which Crystal Domain suits it better."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Zhang Cheng paused for a moment. Unlike them who can barely equip their beasts with perhaps not-so-fit Domain Crystals, Feng Yuan can freely choose now?

But thinking seriously, Domain Crystals aren’t actually rare, otherwise, this group of students wouldn’t have found a usable Domain Crystal in the back mountains. Considering Feng Yuan’s relationship with the Divine Beasts and Great Xia, acquiring a perfectly suitable Domain Crystal for the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound doesn’t seem to be a difficult task.

Still, it inexplicably made him feel envious, but he quickly tossed this thought aside. Since Feng Yuan himself said there’s no impact, then... let’s battle!

Zhang Cheng signaled his two beasts to prepare as he looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Then let’s go!"

"Do your best~"

"Right, don’t attack me directly."

Feng Yuan said with a smile as he waved his hand, and nine small shields encircled him. Zhang Cheng instantly understood Feng Yuan’s intention; he didn’t think Feng Yuan was trying to create an advantage for himself, perhaps he just wanted his two beasts to enjoy the pleasure of battle?

After all, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound belongs to a type of Spirit Beast that’s fond of fighting, and his Xiao Ji seems to have a similar inclination, so it’s not surprising he would do so.

As for directly attacking Feng Yuan?

Zhang Cheng was very aware that despite those nine small shields originating from Xiao Ji’s power, with Feng Yuan’s means, even if his two beasts remain unaffected and attack Feng Yuan directly, they likely wouldn’t be able to harm him.

That guy’s strength is too formidable.

Surveying Zhang Cheng’s Flame Wolfhound and Giant Vine Turtle on the field, Feng Yuan thoughtfully rubbed his chin and refrained from warning Xiao Ji that the opponent might launch a combined attack.

After all, the Flame Wolfhound is a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast, while the Giant Vine Turtle is a Wood Attribute one; although turtle-type Spirit Beasts typically excel in defense with low speed, the Giant Vine Turtle partnered with a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast, Feng Yuan suspects the opponent is taking on a support role.

Though Xiao Ji didn’t notice, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound sensed something amiss. It didn’t charge in directly but cautiously circled around; the Giant Vine Turtle had huge vines wrapped around its body, clearly indicating a plant connection, and during the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s encounters with plant-playing Spirit Beasts, their plants always caused trouble.

If not for the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s ability to mitigate Fire Attribute damage, the fluff on its body might have been burned away significantly.

Low growling, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound saw Xiao Ji rushing towards the Flame Wolfhound and immediately howled, sending flames towards the Giant Vine Turtle.

At that moment, the Giant Vine Turtle’s attack also synchronized, as gigantic vines with fluttering leaves burst forth from beside the Flame Wolfhound to strike Xiao Ji; simultaneously, the Flame Wolfhound sprayed scorching flames it had prepared for a while.

However, due to the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s Flame Storm, the vines and leaves fueled by the flames expanded into a massive Flamestorm, swallowing not just Xiao Ji but also the nearby Giant Vine Turtle, inflicting critical damage.

Taking a few steps back in a state of shock, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound had no idea about Xiao Ji’s condition amidst the fiery sea; glancing at Feng Yuan, the beast saw he seemed unconcerned, leaving the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound somewhat puzzled.

Realizing the Flame Wolfhound and Giant Vine Turtle’s combined ultimate move was unexpectedly disrupted by the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Feng Yuan was genuinely surprised; such combined attacks leveraging different attribute traits usually occur in team battles, and everyone just acquired their second beast; typically they wouldn’t attempt combined attacks so soon.

But seeing the situation, Feng Yuan estimated Zhang Cheng’s combined attack wasn’t too proficient, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been completely burned by the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound.

As for the power, Feng Yuan didn’t believe it was very strong; it’s just difficult to avoid, as the vines and leaves significantly increased the range of the attack, making it hard to dodge with speed.

Though Xiao Ji got caught in it, he would probably be angry, right?

Thinking about this, Feng Yuan rubbed his chin and gestured for the nine small shields to form a Giant Shield in front of him; the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound looked at Feng Yuan, unsure of his actions.

However, soon the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound understood Feng Yuan’s motive as ethereal blue flames erupted suddenly, breaking through the fiery sea; strange plants appeared once more as Xiao Ji unreservedly unleashed Netherfire within the Underworld Domain.

With the Underworld Domain’s support, the speed of Netherfire’s burning wasn’t slower than that of flames spread using the Wood Attribute ultimate move.

Howling, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound swiftly dashed away from the battlefield, and at that moment, the surroundings underwent another change; the battleground saw a shimmering stream appear as the Underworld Domain quickly dissipated; losing the Underworld Domain’s support, the Netherfire began to extinguish gradually.

Feng Yuan froze in bewilderment as he looked at Zhang Cheng, thinking, "Is this the Stream Domain? But aren’t his beasts fire and wood? How could he pair them with a crystal domain that counters Fire Attribute ultimate moves?"

Observing Feng Yuan’s stunned appearance, Zhang Cheng smiled triumphantly and said,

"Qing Teng, Frenzied Vines!"

"Grey Flame, Flame of Life!"

With Zhang Cheng’s orders, the rampaging plant vines broke free from the earth’s constraints and charged at Xiao Ji in the air; with the Flame of Life’s support, the vine’s strength soared, and Xiao Ji’s Netherfire couldn’t sever the incoming frenzied vines.

At this point, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound resisted discomfort and rushed up, spraying flames to assist Xiao Ji in burning the attacking vines against Xiao Ji, but without much coordination between the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and Xiao Ji, their attacks were mostly independent, rendering them ineffective against the Giant Vine Turtle’s assault.

While Feng Yuan was considering how to direct the fight, an unexpected situation arose; Xiao Ji flapped its wings, its attack falling not on Zhang Cheng’s beasts but instead conjuring a gust of wind lifting the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound.

What is Xiao Ji planning to do?

Unsettled by the odd scene, Feng Yuan didn’t dwell on it much; he didn’t believe Xiao Ji was harming the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound yet didn’t grasp their intentions.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound initially panicked; upon seeing Xiao Ji, it seemed to understand something, steadying itself, harnessing the wind’s force for a swift ascent. Feng Yuan frowned, considering the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound wasn’t like Xiao Ji; if it fell from such a height, the damage could be severe.

Yet at that moment, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s altitude wasn’t particularly high, its body clad in flames illuminating the night sky; Feng Yuan paused, realizing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound might attempt a Flame Charge?

"Oh no! Grey Flame, quickly stand in front of Qing Teng!"

"Use the Flame Shield!"

With a change in expression, Zhang Cheng had perceived the intents of the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and Xiao Ji, though time was too short; despite the Flame Wolfhound’s endeavor to reach and shield the Giant Vine Turtle, it was already too late.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, its body ablaze, fiercely charged at the Giant Vine Turtle with Xiao Ji utilizing its wind attribute ultimate move to propel it faster.

Originally descending rapidly from above, as the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound accelerated once more, its fiery body drew a long red streak.

A massive explosion drew those not in the battle to glance towards Feng Yuan and his field; Feng Yuan summoned Tamur for assistance in preparing to use healing moves.

At this point, the Giant Vine Turtle was directly driven into the dirt by the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s Flame Charge; quickly rising, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound retreated to the side while Zhang Cheng withdrew the Giant Vine Turtle into the Spirit Beast Space before releasing it again.

Looking at the Giant Vine Turtle with a body covered in severe burns beside him, Zhang Cheng remarked in shock,

"I didn’t expect his second beast to be so formidable..."

With the Giant Vine Turtle having lost combat capabilities, the scene shifted to the Flame Wolfhound facing two opponents; however, despite this, the Flame Wolfhound showed no signs of backing down.
