Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1987 - 1988: Challenge

Although Feng Yuan and the others formed a team directly, the others didn’t have much opinion on it. After all, they were not familiar with Feng Yuan, and he actually didn’t need to stick together with them. The reason for bringing them together was solely because Feng Yuan didn’t want to break the game rules.

Otherwise, with the two Divine Beasts by Feng Yuan’s side, they wouldn’t necessarily need so many people to break through the mechanism. Even if there weren’t enough people temporarily, Divine Beasts have the ability to create clones. It’s just that they rarely use them in general circumstances.

Controlling multiple clones simultaneously does not enhance combat power; in fact, the strength of the clones only equals the total strength of the Divine Beasts when combined.

In such a situation, clones hold almost no value for Divine Beasts, even for gathering information. If the Divine Beast itself would be harmed, the clones would be even less useful.

As for other students, although they also wanted to team up with their friends, considering safety issues, they ended up being distributed equally according to strength. Otherwise, weaker teams might encounter unexpected incidents on the way.

Even though this is a trial set by the academy, the academy couldn’t simply let them engage in mechanism puzzles. At least, Feng Yuan had already sensed the presence of many special Energy Bodies ahead, which might be the enemies they need to deal with.

"The next battle is yours now~"

Glancing at Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound beside him, Feng Yuan said with a sinister smile. The clueless Xiao Ji made a puzzled sound, not understanding why Feng Yuan would say that. Gently patting the heads of Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Feng Yuan said,

"Let’s go~"

Although the crystal passage didn’t appear to change when viewed from the platform, upon stepping on it, Feng Yuan and his companions found that the crystal passage suddenly became massive. A closer look revealed that this was actually a utilization and manipulation of space, making the crystal passage appear visually as a pathway only capable of accommodating two people walking side by side.

In reality, the crystal passage was spacious, allowing Ah Mu to restore its original size and regain full combat power. Dou Yanlan examined this wide passage and said,

"This seems to be a clear indication..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"More or less. If someone is foolish enough to see such a change and fails to prepare, there’s nothing that can be done." Feng Yuan said with a laugh, though it’s a trial, there are indeed quite a few loopholes due to various reasons. For example, this passage was specifically modified to ensure fairness during battles, so students wouldn’t be disadvantaged due to the size of their Beast Tamers affecting combat power.

This also served as clear notice that there would likely be an intense battle here. Otherwise, the academy wouldn’t have any reason to create such a peculiar passage.

At this moment, Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound were already aflame with fighting spirit. They rushed to the front of the team, looking ahead, hands on hips with amusement. Feng Yuan said,

"Alright, alright, I’ll leave the front to you. You lead the way."

Since this passage didn’t have any forks, Feng Yuan wasn’t worried about Xiao Ji leading them into a dead end. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, although the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound didn’t react much, Xiao Ji was so excited it nearly jumped up.

Was it finally time for it to show its skills~

An excited Xiao Ji darted forward, and at that moment, beams of light emerged from the ground of the crystal passage, revealing peculiar mechanical creatures before everyone’s eyes.

"Their strength isn’t very high, mainly at the Good Level, but they possess different attribute characteristics... wait, is that... attribute immunity?"

Feng Yuan touched his chin and analyzed the mechanical creatures; although he couldn’t grasp all the information at once, he could barely fathom the general situation of these mechanical creatures.

Even if he couldn’t sense the distinct attribute fluctuations they emitted, merely the different colors on their metallic carapaces provided enough insight to judge the corresponding attributes.

Concerning attribute immunity, only Spirit Beasts with specific attributes could counter enemies with corresponding attributes, but that wasn’t a significant issue since other teams pretty much had Spirit Beasts covering most attributes. As for them here?

Veronia sat atop the Rainbow Bubbles, eyeing the mechanical creatures and said,

"Looks like it’s my turn to take action~"

If it were the initial Data Domain, Xiao Ji alone could ignore the attribute immunity effect and directly shatter those mechanical creatures. Now, as the Data Domain continues to be enhanced, Xiao Ji naturally couldn’t do that, but this didn’t mean Veronia and the others couldn’t.

Not to mention, when they went all out, they could easily obliterate this area. Even when following the rules, they could use ultimate moves of almost all attributes, so handling these foes, one Divine Beast was enough.

Of course, Veronia didn’t do that. It left behind Spirit Beasts with corresponding attributes for Xiao Ji and the others. As for other enemies like those of the Water Attribute, they were directly destroyed by the ultimate moves casually released by Veronia.

"Qi Chen, you guys can’t slack off~"

Feng Yuan wickedly chuckled as he stepped aside to give Xiao Ji and the others space; at this moment, Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound both charged forward, flames dancing within the crystal passage. Save for the mechanical creatures adorned with fiery red decorations, the rest completely ignored the terrifying flames.

Seeing the mechanical creatures emerging unscathed from the flames, Qi Chen turned to look at the Hao Chun Bird on his shoulder and Ah Mu beside him, saying,

"Let’s go too!"

The Hao Chun Bird let out a crisp call, with natural power enhancing Ah Mu. The speed of the Seistal Stele’s formation accelerated once again. As this time, different Spirit Beasts were acting together; Qi Chen didn’t have the Hao Chun Bird activate the Crystal Domain since once that was triggered, other attributes would be suppressed.

Cotton charged toward a mechanical creature adorned with a hint of white, for although these mechanical creatures bore silvery armor, finding one with white markings wasn’t too difficult after Dou Yanlan’s training.

"Xiao Ji! Switch to Wind Attribute ultimate move!"

Noticing that Xiao Ji had been using Death Series ultimate moves in its attacks, Feng Yuan shouted. Not only Xiao Ji, but besides the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and the Hao Chun Bird, the other Spirit Beasts in the team could all master ultimate moves of another attribute.

Take Ah Mu, for instance; it could use Rock Spike, although it wasn’t an ultimate move of its own attribute, so its power was somewhat weaker. Yet, it sufficed to tackle the Earth-weakness mechanical creatures Veronia intentionally left behind.

Cotton targeted mechanical creatures of the Mystic Series and Psychokinesis Series, leaving Feng Yuan standing aside with folded arms, enjoying the show.

Though it was different from what Xiao Ji imagined fighting alongside Feng Yuan, unlike before, Feng Yuan would now and then remind Xiao Ji of the minor mistakes it made in battle, so Xiao Ji was quite happy with it.

After a chaotic engagement, the group of mechanical creatures was finally annihilated. Feng Yuan tidied up Xiao Ji’s feathers and turned to Qi Chen, saying,

"Do you need to take a break?"

After glancing at Ah Mu, Qi Chen shook his head and declined,

"No need, we’ll recover slowly on the way."

"Then let’s go."

Seeing Qi Chen’s refusal, Feng Yuan didn’t insist further. Mainly because Qi Chen had the Hao Chun Bird, which could restore strength, so the issue wasn’t a major one. Typically, in a normal team, at least one Beast Tamer would be responsible for recovery and healing.

Of course, Veronia and the others could also do that, but Feng Yuan never had them do it, given they’re not Divine Beasts like Nagna who specialize in healing, so there’s no need.

"The mechanical creatures we just faced weren’t strong, just numerous with attribute restrictions, meaning they somewhat required a certain number of people, though that didn’t seem enough."

Along the way, Feng Yuan mumbled while occasionally glancing back. Initially, he thought it was meant to be the academy’s test, but upon reconsideration, it didn’t seem to stop there.

At that moment, a giant mechanical creature descended from the sky. Seeing it, Feng Yuan frowned and said,

"Can you trap it?"

Previously, Xiao Ji and the others’ battle had already consumed quite a bit of time. If they continued entangling with this creature, their progress might be delayed.

Veronia attempted and said,

"With my ability, I can, but are you sure you want to do that?"

Watching the broken vines, Feng Yuan seemed to understand something and said,

"That thing, is it invincible?"

Though he didn’t have Xiao Ji attack, considering the current situation, Feng Yuan surmised a certain possibility. Moreover, the giant mechanical creature’s slow speed appeared intended to have them stay and fight it.

No, hold on, it seems that way, but considering this is a trial primarily based on ruins exploration, overextending in such environments is taboo!

So... how to solve it?

Watching the giant mechanical creature entirely ignoring Xiao Ji’s attacks, Feng Yuan rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
