Chapter 1538: Chapter 1539: Encounter
“Not good! Run quickly!”
Zhang Cheng and his team’s expressions changed imdiately, commanding everyone’s beasts to forcibly break through the collapsed mountain path ahead. Feng Yuan spread a pair of pitch-black wings from his back and flew over, since Qi Chen temporarily left the Flower Leaf Tree Three Spirit Beasts in the dorm for a teacher to look after. Therefore, Ah Mu could shrink and accompany Qi Chen, riding the Nether Cross to fly forward.
“Watch out for the attacks from around us.”
Flying in the air, Feng Yuan continuously controlled nine small shields, either scattering them or combining them, to block attacks from the mountainside for his classmates. The agitated Wood Spirit Beasts glared at the group. Unlike the Stray Samurai Monkeys they had encountered before, which only aid to stop them from approaching, these Hua Ye Foxes and Spirit Leaf Foxes were different.
They attacked the group like disturbed Wild Spirit Beasts, and upon Feng Yuan’s warning, those skilled in defense among the group imdiately commanded their beasts to help defend against the attacks.
“Look out!”
Noticing a Spirit Leaf Fox sneaking close to the Nether Cross, Feng Yuan waved his hand, and three small shields turned into three sharp daggers, stabbing fiercely into the vine supporting the Spirit Leaf Fox. Realizing the murderous aura around Feng Yuan, the Spirit Leaf Fox let out a cry and quickly released a mist to escape.
“Not lethal, but still, one might get hurt if not careful.”
Feng Yuan glanced at the attacking Hua Ye Foxes and Spirit Leaf Foxes and remarked, he wasn’t afraid of these little things, but others couldn’t say the sa, unless he intended to use forces beyond Xiao Ji.
Agunas and Veronia floated quietly in the air, observing without planning to intervene; at most, they’d ensure Feng Yuan’s classmates wouldn’t get hurt. As for interfering with this school practice course? They weren’t interested, nor did Feng Yuan want them to.
After a hurried response, the group clumsily rushed out of the ambush zone. Before catching their breath, they saw the giant Desolate Ancient Vine Turtle moving on the road ahead. Feng Yuan said speechlessly,
“Does the academy really need to do this? I feel like they’re targeting .”
Using sothing with Legendary Level strength as a roadblock seems unnecessary, right? Besides causing trouble for Feng Yuan, it posed an overwhelming advantage over any class. Moreover, a Legendary Level Spirit Beast would suffice against these classes.
“Not really, look over there.”
Dou Yanlan pointed to the students from Class 2, saying they weren’t much better compared to Feng Yuan’s group, seemingly having endured a tough battle too. Across from them, a boy noticed Dou Yanlan, adjusted his glasses, and said sothing to his classmates, leading a few to walk over.
Seeing the opposite side approaching directly, Dou Yanlan called out,
“Commander?”
“That’s right, I thought only our class was lucky, but you guys are even more fortunate. Is he the one favored by the legendary Divine Beast?”
The boy smiled slightly, looking at Feng Yuan, while a girl behind him said,
“Tian Ci, do we really… want to cooperate?”
“Cooperate to defeat the BOSS? I think you’re overthinking. I can’t use excessive power against it.”
With arms crossed, Feng Yuan mocked. The girl called Tian Ci glared and said,
“We’re definitely not planning to defeat it! It’s just that he said it would be best for us to choose to cooperate with you, but this course is about winning and losing!”
“Indeed!”
Another girl, with high spirits, stared at Feng Yuan. Her fighting spirit seed comparable to Xiao Ji’s, leaving Feng Yuan scratching his head in confusion.
“You’re considering a temporary truce to first handle Class 1’s attack?”
Dou Yanlan touched her chin, saying. The competition sure is coming, but it needn’t happen here, though why she guessed they were commanders was still uncertain.
Though she appeared to lead, given their positioning and ongoing activities, Zhang Cheng, busy assisting with Liu Ziwen to adjust their class, seed like the actual leader. Dou Yanlan also noted soone in the opposite class doing similar tasks.
“Wait, I rember you. Your performance during the academy exams was quite good. How co you didn’t make it into Class 1? That doesn’t make sense. With your abilities, you should have made it to Class 1 or even a better academy.”
At this mont, Feng Yuan recalled sothing, surprised as he addressed the girl with fighting spirit. Then he said,
“I think your na is Kong Fang, right?”
“You…rember ?!”
Surprised, Kong Fang exclaid, astonished that he rembered her. As for how he knew her na? Of course, as he was an extra exam examiner, naturally, he knew her na. Compared to a string of exam numbers, a na was significantly easier to rember, especially since he was grading them.
Though the fear of cheating might exist, recordings during the entire process and examination of their scoring ensured no embarrassnt from cheating during academy exams. Being Divine Pact Makers, they wouldn’t risk their reputation.
Kong Fang was rely surprised that so many people took the academy exam, and he still clearly rembered her. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said,
“Of course, your performance was quite impressive. After all, there aren’t many girls opting for a strong attack route like you, and you’ve practiced Martial Dao. Honestly, the Southern Academy might have accepted you, so why co here? And not even Class 1.”
Due to his level, Feng Yuan actually rembered all the students he once examined; not all of them were in his class. Moreover, those who shone during the exams were relatively fewer, so he hadn’t ntioned it in his class.
However, this student Kong Fang piqued his curiosity. Though they only crossed paths during exams, he had grasped her abilities: whether potential or otherwise, she wasn’t inferior to Qi Chen, though Qi Chen’s potential rose thanks to serendipitous spiritual dicines.
Yet the Beastmaster’s worth wasn’t limited to the beast’s potential; the master’s potential mattered too, a component rarely quantified in assessnts. Though Feng Yuan aided her significantly, Qi Chen’s talent honestly couldn’t surpass Kong Fang’s.
Although he was uncertain whether Kong Fang truly matched Qi Chen in combat, Kong Fang triumphed due to balanced talent, yet Qi Chen’s battle instinct wasn’t weak and he put in hard work.
These elents hardly and weren’t readily visible during an exam, so in practical evaluations, Qi Chen fell short compared to Kong Fang.
“You are indeed impressive; from just one additional assessnt, you uncovered these details. Yet, I didn’t go to the Southern Academy because it’s too far from ho. Moreover, the Southern Academy isn’t significantly superior to Maomu Academy. As for not going to Class 1…”
Looking at her Moon Tree Turtle beast, Kong Fang sighed,
“I can’t accept their ideology.”
“I see, but looking this way, with you, Class 2 is our formidable rival too~”
Feng Yuan smiled slightly, saying. The other rolled their eyes,
“With you in Class 3, how can we win? But still, we won’t give up easily!”
“Relax, I won’t use thods beyond my Beast Tar skills in regular academy competitions. Doing so is aningless, offering no benefits, and it’s detrintal to their practical combat experience.”
Feng Yuan chuckled, the other nodded,
“You’re right regarding that. However, would you be willing to suspend our conflict temporarily? As per Tian Ci’s words, eting here isn’t our only chance to clash, coupled with the surrounding uncertainties, battling here isn’t ideal.”
“Hmph! So, you plan to join forces again, but it’s futile.”
At this mont, a cold snort broke the discussion. Turning to the newcor, Dou Yanlan and Li Tian Ci frowned, and Kong Fang glared at the person,
“You want to fight here?”
“Why not? Little tricks are still just petty tricks; no matter your alliance, you won’t be our match.”
“Your arrogant deanor truly annoys , but fight here?”
Discontented, Feng Yuan grinned maliciously, transforming the nine small shields into a longbow aid at the patrolling Desolate Ancient Vine Turtle. The reason the two commanders didn’t want a duel here was precisely due to it—if anyone attacked, no one present could escape.
Noticing Feng Yuan’s actions, the newcor’s face paled. Even Class 1, no matter how strong, couldn’t rival the Legendary power of the Desolate Ancient Vine Turtle.
