CHAPTER 1438: CHAPTER 1439 BATTLE RESTAURANT

"Battle restaurant? Could it really be eating while battling? That would be..."

Feng Yuan, who was checking out Victory Garden Square, noticed a restaurant surrounded by a crowd and curiously commented while observing the sign. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"How could there be such a thing."

"Then what do you think it is? The restaurant couldn’t possibly be named ’Battle,’ could it?"

With that, Feng Yuan squeezed into the crowd and headed for the entrance. Xiao Ji noticed that Feng Yuan disappeared from sight and became somewhat anxious. However, after seeing that no one else followed him, it slightly relaxed and continued to search for information. Occasionally, it would call out to Big Cat and glance in the direction where Feng Yuan had disappeared.

It didn’t take long for Feng Yuan to emerge from the crowd, looking at Xiao Ji and saying,

"It really is a battle, but it’s just that you start with a challenge. Based on the menu you choose, you undergo a challenge, and upon victory, you enjoy free meals or discounts."

"But, is the food here really tasty?"

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said uncertainly. Upon hearing this, Qi Chen and the others instantly understood that Feng Yuan was intrigued. However, it was no surprise; compared to standard restaurants, such peculiar places clearly piqued Feng Yuan’s interest more.

"If you want, you can give it a try, but it seems Xiao Ji doesn’t have the time to accompany you."

Agunas glanced at Xiao Ji, who was searching for information and said. It hesitated for a moment then reluctantly shook its head at Feng Yuan. It wasn’t concerned with food, just cherished every opportunity to battle alongside Feng Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Ji like this, Feng Yuan shook his head with amusement and said,

"In that case, why not ask Big Cat to help you with the information search? The battle shouldn’t take too long."

Upon Feng Yuan’s suggestion, Xiao Ji thought for a moment and nodded toward Agunas, continuing to search for information. Watching Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan curiously asked Agunas,

"What’s it saying?"

"You guys line up first, and call it when it’s time to battle."

Agunas translated with a roll of its eyes. Ruffling Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others and asked,

"What do you think? Interested?"

"Battle? Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for Ah Mu."

After thinking it over, Qi Chen shook his head and said. After all, the battle field Ah Mu needs is quite large. Judging by the situation, it seems difficult to release large-sized Spirit Beasts to fight. Yang Hongzhi silently asked,

"Do they restrict Spirit Beasts?"

"Hmm, their size can’t be excessively big, and strength can’t reach Legendary Level, or else they can’t find suitable opponents. Divine Pact Makers probably dine for free, I guess."

"Divine Pact Makers dine for free?"

With surprise, everyone looked at Feng Yuan and asked in confusion. After thinking it over, he nodded and said,

"It should be the case. Although the rule doesn’t allow Beast Tamer’s strength to exceed Legendary Level, Divine Beast Level isn’t considered within that scope."

"Isn’t Divine Beast Level the strongest level?"

Qi Chen looked puzzled at Yang Hongzhi, who contemplated for a while and said,

"By ordinary people’s understanding, Divine Beast Level is indeed the highest. However, in the Alliance’s classification, Divine Beast Level is listed separately and not compared with other Spirit Beast Levels. The restaurant probably uses ordinary people’s viewpoint for classification, right?"

The reason Divine Beast Level is set apart is simple. For some Divine Beasts, their strength might not necessarily surpass powerful Sacred Beasts. However, those entities cannot use the rule-bound power, which leads to them potentially not being able to win when fighting without restraint.

It’s due to the existence of these Sacred Beasts that the Alliance hesitates to classify Divine Beast Level into the ordinary Spirit Beasts’ strength categories.

"Are you planning to cause trouble?"

Agunas suspiciously scrutinized Feng Yuan, pondering if this fellow might want to do something mischievous. It’s quite likely, considering he has quite a few Divine Beasts around him. If he takes his Divine Beasts to bully those opponents...

"I’m just making a suggestion; after all, Yang Hongzhi has Najia, and Long Boduo is interested in the battle restaurant, right?"

Reminded by Feng Yuan, Agunas looked toward Long Boduo, who shrugged and said,

"I’ll just use Rare Level strength, won’t I? After all, I can win regardless of the situation."

Even if it doesn’t use more than Rare Level strength to attack, its identity is still that of a Divine Beast. Divine Beast Level strength encompasses much more than just attack.

"True, your defensive power is almost like cheating."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan examined Long Boduo, who glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Aren’t you the same? Without relying on Xiao Ji’s power, can’t you easily bully them? Your strength may not even be detectable."

"Hehe~ Well..."

"An Ice Flower Spirit?! That’s a Legendary Level Spirit Beast, isn’t it?!"

When it was his turn to fight, Feng Yuan finally noticed the opponent was the Legendary Level Ice Flower Spirit. The transparent spiritual body of the Ice Flower Spirit sat above an enormous ice crystal flower in full bloom. Qi Chen and the others weren’t surprised. Yang Hongzhi glanced at Long Boduo and said,

"Considering the fact we’re allowed to team up, it’s evident their strength won’t match ours."

"Should we... let loose?"

"Better not."

Agunas said speechlessly to Long Boduo. If they let loose, Long Boduo alone could easily defeat the Ice Flower Spirit, let alone Feng Yuan. As for Veronia and the others? They weren’t interested, so they didn’t participate.

"Let’s hold back at Rare Level. We can’t just easily defeat our opponent, can we?"

Nine small shields circled around Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji spread its wings and flew into the sky with a powerful flap. The battleground here employed a spatial expansion so Xiao Ji could fly, and Ah Mu was already prepared to use its Guardian Move as soon as the referee announced the start.

Numerous steles floated around but didn’t approach Feng Yuan and the others. Feng Yuan marveled at the unique impact, gazed at Ah Mu, and said,

"It’s almost like it’s made a masterpiece with the Seistal Stele."

"Among the ultimate moves Ah Mu currently possesses, the Seistal Stele is among the most powerful and widely applicable."

Gripping his longbow, Qi Chen focused on the Ice Flower Spirit, which was stirring up a snowstorm. Teaming up to battle a Legendary Level Spirit Beast, he still felt under substantial pressure. Cotton called out, and mist descended over the arena, enveloping the battlefield. Long Boduo charged forward, long blade held high, braving the snowstorm to slash at the Ice Flower Spirit.

Though it’s peculiar why the human wasn’t afraid of the snowstorm’s attack, the Ice Flower Spirit wasn’t foolish enough to stand still and await attack. Dodging Long Boduo’s swing, it countered with an ice-cold beam, but regrettably, this Legendary Level Ultimate Move had no effect on the Divine Beast Level Long Boduo.

"This looks just like cheating."

Opening his spiritual sense, Feng Yuan naturally saw this scene and couldn’t help but comment speechlessly. Alas, Long Boduo’s move, in his view, was indeed a bit unfair, as it could strike others while evading their attacks.

"We can’t weaken its inherent defense. Not only is it inappropriate, but it’s also impossible."

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and said, presently using a Time Phantom to hide from ultimate attacks, avoiding participating in such fights.

"Hmm! We need to hurry then!"

Glancing at Xiao Ji in the air, Feng Yuan combined nine small shields into a black longbow, rapidly firing dark arrows while the Ice Flower Spirit’s attention centered on Long Boduo.

The ice wall shattered under the arrow barrage, the Ice Flower Spirit scrambling between Feng Yuan’s and Long Boduo’s joint attacks. Feng Yuan exchanged a look with Dou Yanlan, Qi Chen smiled wryly and directed Ah Mu and others to go assist. They were mainly for support, but clearly, support wasn’t needed; only offense was necessary.

Outside, witnessing the peculiar scene, the referee was unsure how to rule. Violation? But he noticed Long Boduo hadn’t used any special power for defense; its own ability already could withstand the Ice Flower Spirit’s ultimate attack. But, how could this be?! How could a human have such astonishing defensive power?!

Thanks to Long Boduo’s presence, the battle wasn’t intense, and Feng Yuan and the others quickly secured the victory. While dining, Feng Yuan stated,

"Could we sample a little of everything first? I just found your battle quite interesting and am not sure if your food suits our taste."
