Capítulo 1704: Chapter 1705: Differences

“But… if you were to make it, you probably could…”

“Forget it, I don’t care, besides, the electronic ark is special, but it might not necessarily be a match for the Big Cat. After all, the Scholar Cats have quite formidable abilities.”

Waving his hand, thinking of the Big Cat busy in the dormitory, Feng Yuan casually said. Although other Scholar Cats probably wouldn’t participate, the Big Cat was a different matter. After all, it specialized in games, so this Skyship model was somewhat related to it, otherwise, the Big Cat wouldn’t be so serious about it.

Unfortunately, Feng Yuan’s guess was wrong. The Big Cat was serious about it simply because it wanted to win tickets to take Feng Yuan and the others out for fun. It knew Feng Yuan didn’t care, but it also knew that Xiao Ji would be thrilled if they could get tickets and invite him.

It never thought of stealing Feng Yuan’s attention from Xiao Ji because…

“Is the Big Cat also modifying the Skyship model?”

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, spreading his hands, Feng Yuan said helplessly

“Yeah, it seems quite interested in this thing, after all, it can be considered… a game?”

“It’s not just the Big Cat. I’ve heard that many Scholar Cats are interested in the Skyship model, but they seem not to participate in the… selection.”

Looking at Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan said. Those Scholar Cats, being formidable researchers, didn’t lack money. Yet because of long-term interaction with humans, their actions were almost human-like. The researchers’ pride wouldn’t allow them to participate in the selection.

After all, the thing is still a bit too simple for them, but the Big Cat is different. It doesn’t care about such matters. Since the rules don’t prohibit it, it participated.

“Is the Big Cat also working on the electronic ark?”

Thinking of something, Dou Yanlan curiously asked. After all, the electronic ark seemed like something the Big Cat could research, shaking his head Feng Yuan said

“Not really, it seems to be working on a strange Skyship, Symphony Number or something, anyway, it plays symphonic music while flying.”

“By the way, have Ah Mu and Cotton not entered the evolution preparation phase yet?”

Recalling something, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan and asked. Xiao Ji was born later than Ah Mu and the others, under normal circumstances, Ah Mu and the others should have entered the evolution preparation phase first, but looking at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan’s actions now, it seems not to be the case.

With one hand on her chin, Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan puzzledly and asked

“Could it be that Xiao Ji has already entered the evolution preparation phase? Isn’t that a bit… too fast.”

“Currently, that’s the case, maybe it’s related to the potion I used to treat it earlier.”

Patting Xiao Ji’s head beside him, Feng Yuan pretended not to know the truth and said. In fact, he knew very well, the reason Xiao Ji entered the evolution preparation phase so quickly was likely related to its identity as a Divine Beast. After all, normally, even those from the Divine Beast clan would possess a strength above the Legendary Level when succeeding the position of a Divine Beast.

A juvenile Divine Beast like Xiao Ji is extremely rare, even some newly-born Divine Beasts usually are at the Divine Beast Level strength upon birth, unlike Xiao Ji.

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Dou Yanlan supported her chin, closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and said

“Will this affect its potential? If it does have an impact… But, if it truly does, I believe you wouldn’t ignore it. Xiao Ji is indeed special.”

Thinking of Feng Yuan’s circumstance, Dou Yanlan shook her head and said. She recalled how Feng Yuan had always been suppressing Xiao Ji’s evolution speed. If there really were an impact, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

Xiao Ji glanced at Dou Yanlan and then at Feng Yuan, suddenly shouted. Tapping Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said

“Who are you trying to scare with that sudden shout? But neither Ah Mu nor Cotton has entered the evolution preparation stage, and that’s a bit problematic.”

Saying that, Feng Yuan carefully observed Cotton at Dou Yanlan’s feet. Cotton blinked in confusion while making eye contact with Feng Yuan, not understanding what Feng Yuan intended to do. Qi Chen scratched his head a bit sheepishly and said

“Probably not? I think Ah Mu’s current condition is quite good.”

“Compared to Xiao Ji’s growth speed, it is a bit slower, but for its species, it’s still within the normal range.”

Nearby, the initial form of Veronia sat on Rainbow Bubbles and spoke while looking at her phone. After all, not every Spirit Beast grows at the same pace. Different types of Spirit Beasts require varying times to enter the evolution preparation phase. The most commonly used Spirit Beasts by most people are of the intermediate type, which doesn’t take too long or too short.

For those growing too quickly, to cultivate their strength and enhance their potential, a significant amount of resources must be consumed because their stay in each stage isn’t long. Of course, they can also choose to suppress during the evolution preparation phase; in the absence of Evolution Materials, most Spirit Beasts can’t evolve on their own.

But doing so means abandoning their greatest advantage, and Spirit Beasts with prolonged stage durations aren’t necessarily weak. For ordinary people, the extended growth period means relatively less resource consumption.

However, this essentially exchanges time for resources. Without entering the evolution preparation phase, evolution can’t be achieved even if desired.

Moreover, this type of Spirit Beast is often chosen in the mid-stage by skilled Beastmasters because during the growth stages, it’s possible to enhance the Spirit Beast’s potential through resource consumption. Correspondingly, the longer the growth stage, theoretically, the higher the potential increase.

These Spirit Beasts are mostly trained as trump cards and hidden assets by them. However, such an approach requires consuming a large amount of resources, and they must possess a certain level of strength to dare attempt this; otherwise, unless they are extremely wealthy, sustaining such an expense is impossible.

“Speaking of which, I’m indeed quite curious about whether Ah Mu will exhibit any mutations after evolution. After all, absorbing Nainefar’s power, although transformed into its own strength, that special force undoubtedly affects the core of the Spirit Beast itself.”

Putting away her phone, Veronia looked at Ah Mu following Qi Chen and spoke. Even though Ah Mu had already digested Nainefar’s power, that power wasn’t simply about enhancing its strength. The former Century Tree could strongly suppress even Divine Beasts within its Domain. Such a presence, even with only a slight amount, would affect the Spirit Beast’s form.

“This… could it… cause some issues?”

Nervously looking at Ah Mu behind him, Qi Chen asked worriedly. Feng Yuan glanced at Veronia with some annoyance and said

“How could there be issues? A slight morphological change doesn’t mean the evolutionary form changes, at least, achieving a novel evolutionary form like Kong Qing isn’t that easy.”

Glancing at Xiao Ji beside Feng Yuan, Qi Chen remained worried but didn’t continue asking, looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan sighed.

Xiao Ji is entirely an exception. Typically, the forms of Divine Beasts are unique, with features only shared by those within the Divine Beast clan or Affiliates like the White Shadow Wolf, so Xiao Ji evolving into a Spirit Beast form unseen by others is perfectly normal.

Yet this wasn’t something he could easily explain, lest he delves into the topic of suddenly having an infant Divine Beast.

“Agunas seems to be caught in trouble there, strangely, why is Quine holding on so stubbornly?”

Looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia feigned talking to herself. Although the Little Crocodile warned her not to seek Feng Yuan’s help, still…

Even Lorraine Tower stumbled in Quine’s hands; how could she expect that gathering a group of Divine Beasts wouldn’t step into a trap? Rather than waiting for trouble to find Feng Yuan later, she’d rather let him help see what’s going on right now.

“Quine is still holding firm there? That is odd, what exactly are they trying to accomplish? And… what was their purpose in disrupting Great Xia before?”

With one hand on his chin, Feng Yuan felt the Quine matter might not be simple. Simply using that thing to take over the Divine Land Region? Even if they could handle the Divine Beasts in the Divine Land Region, there were still other regions. Even if they were once unaware due to an isolated environment, in modern times, he couldn’t believe they still weren’t aware of other regions’ existence.

“Hmm… If there’s any change over there, let me know. I have a feeling Quine might not be up to anything good.”

Thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan said to Veronia.
