Xiao Ji’s eyes lit up as it nudged Feng Yuan with its head. Feng Yuan helplessly rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and said without much energy,
"Not you. Surpassing evolution is no easy task. To do so, you’ll need to continually strengthen the power within you to break through the limitations of your species. As for you..."
This is also why Feng Yuan had not considered letting Xiao Ji undergo surpassing evolution. It was a joke. Divine Beasts have their potential maxed out before reaching the Divine Beast Level. How could he help it break through species limits?
"Surpassing evolution is just one choice; it doesn’t necessarily an it’s beneficial for Spirit Beasts."
Holding Cotton, Dou Yanlan shook her head and said, surpassing evolution does not change the appearance of a Spirit Beast, and once you undergo surpassing evolution, you’ll mostly only continue surpassing to break species limits. While it’s not impossible to evolve in form again, it becos troubleso and even harder than continuing surpassing evolution.
Though remaining unchanged can avoid situations like Ah Mu, who beca gigantic after evolution and couldn’t follow you around, it doesn’t co without a cost. The pre-evolution Wood Sprite didn’t have hands, and large size has its advantages. Often, Spirit Beasts anticipate their own form of evolution more than continually surpassing their power limits in the sa appearance.
Lightly tapping the reluctant Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said helplessly,
"If you really choose to surpass evolution, then who’s going to fly ? The Big Cat?"
While he had quite a few Spirit Beasts around him capable of flying, like Xiao Ji, Big Cat, Little Ice Cream, and Agunas... the only one that could truly carry him was Agunas. As for the Big Cat? It’d be good enough if it flew without crashing into walls. Xiao Ji could only low-fly slowly, and Big Cat was risky no matter how it flew.
Little Ice Cream relies on its innate ability to ignore gravity, but currently, it doesn’t have the ability to extend this effect to other targets.
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji was startled, rembering how Feng Yuan often transford into a Little Husky to rest on Big Cat’s head. It stopped dwelling on the power issue. Seeing Xiao Ji drop the subject, Feng Yuan grinned as he looked at the Spirit Beasts in the sea, saying,
"It’s a pity this isn’t a good ti to ta them; otherwise, I might get a water-type Spirit Beast~"
"You shouldn’t be able to contract a second Beast Tar yet, right?"
Qi Chen suspiciously looked at Feng Yuan and asked. He knew Feng Yuan had signed a Taming Beast Contract with Xiao Ji after him, and he himself wasn’t at the level to contract a second Beast Tar yet. Was Feng Yuan that fast?
Though spiritual power was a significant indicator, a more crucial issue was the stability of the energy transfer channel from the Taming Beast Contract. Unless the channel stabilized, forcefully contracting a second Beast Tar due to strong spiritual power had great hidden risks.
But these thoughts stemd from their lack of understanding of Feng Yuan’s situation. Agunas on the side rolled its eyes, not wanting to expose Feng Yuan. The energy transfer channel between Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji was stable from the beginning. Otherwise, Feng Yuan wouldn’t only borrow Xiao Ji’s power when needed.
Under normal circumstances, a Beastmaster would continuously receive power from their Beast Tar to nourish their soul. However, this was useless for Feng Yuan. The little power Xiao Ji could transmit was far less than his own. Sotis, it even seed that Feng Yuan reversed the channel, bestowing his power upon Xiao Ji.
In this scenario, acquiring a second Beast Tar wasn’t difficult for Feng Yuan. Currently, he refrains from doing so not due to a lack of capability or need, but because he doesn’t want to appear too special. Though as it stands, he’s already special enough. Who else but him would possess such fearso strength?
"Post-mating, Spirit Beasts need to breed offspring. At that ti, it’s almost impossible to establish a contract with them. Your idea is unrealistic. However, if needed, it could help you, couldn’t it?"
Dou Yanlan shook her head as she gazed at Delong Tower. As the Lord of the Great Sea, Delong Tower could naturally influence those Spirit Beasts in the sea. With its help, finding rare Spirit Beasts wouldn’t be a problem as long as they lived in the sea.
Of course, whether you could ta them to beco your Beast Tar isn’t sothing Delong Tower would handle. You can tell by looking at Agunas. Divine Beasts wouldn’t disregard the Spirit Beasts’ own will and forcibly impose sothing on them.
"Indeed, but they’re not all necessarily suitable. If you truly have a preference, I could introduce you to it."
Delong Tower glanced at Feng Yuan and said. While it didn’t believe Feng Yuan was genuinely interested in those Spirit Beasts, it spoke casually. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,
"Forget it; those Spirit Beasts are mostly unsuitable. Most of them can’t live outside an aquatic environnt. Taking them away might not be a good thing."
Not all Spirit Beasts in the sea must live in water. Several are amphibious, but many can’t leave water. Like the Island Jellyfish of the People of the Great Sea, leaving the deep sea makes them immobile.
Their massive size makes it difficult for their telekinesis to lift themselves. Besides, many sea Spirit Beasts find it difficult to live outside water. Most of those attracted here fit this type.
Xiao Ji called out dissatisfied toward Delong Tower, but it paid no mind. Xiao Ji’s power was too weak, currently posing no threat to Delong Tower.
As everyone chatted, they watched the last group of Spirit Beasts disperse, and the sea gradually returned to normal. Feng Yuan yawned and said,
"I’ll go rest first. By the way, Delong Tower, where are you planning to send us?"
"Shenhua City, why?"
Delong Tower glanced at Feng Yuan curiously, sowhat confused. Did Feng Yuan have special plans? Scratching his head and looking at Yang Hongzhi beside him, Feng Yuan said,
"How about we go to Biangang City?"
"There? Although it’s closer to Maomu City, don’t you still need to go through customs? I registered you for Shenhua City. Changing to Biangang City suddenly, I’m unsure if there’d be issues."
Delong Tower thought for a mont and said. It really wasn’t knowledgeable about these matters. Without the Mariti People’s presence, it wouldn’t even understand immigration issues.
"I see, never mind then."
Sighing, Feng Yuan said, and Yang Hongzhi gazed amusedly at Feng Yuan, saying,
"It doesn’t take long to return to Maomu from Shenhua. Why worry? And those ancient cities are mostly in the Northwest of Great Xia. Isn’t it more convenient to head there from Shenhua?"
"True, but consider whether you can get a ticket. Rember, it’s still the holiday season."
Feng Yuan rolled his eyes, speechless. He wasn’t worried about Biangang City, an ordinary port city in the Southern Region without much tourism but with industrial cooperation with Maomu City. There were plenty of high-speed trains between the two. Shenhua City was another matter.
Theoretically, not many would travel to Maomu for tourism, but the route passed nurous scenic spots. Feng Yuan was unsure whether Yang Hongzhi could get tickets.
"Tickets are indeed an issue. We’re headed to scenic places, and many surely depart from Shenhua. How do you plan to manage this?"
Prompted by Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan worriedly asked. If Maomu City might not have available tickets, their destinations were ancient cities, always packed during holidays, especially with hotel concerns. Thinking this, perhaps...
"We aren’t worried. Don’t forget my credentials. We can use a special passage since it’s within Great Xia, so it’s no big deal. But I can’t casually arrange a ticket to Maomu for him either."
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said. Hearing him, the group rembered Feng Yuan’s special credentials. While touring in Drochkar of the Oilia Region earlier, that credential was useless, but returning ho made a difference. Such credentials for special contributors can easily secure a few spots on a full high-speed train.
It’s not about canceling others’ tickets, but they can board despite seat limitations, although without a seat in usual circumstances since standing tickets don’t exist.
