Chapter 1706: Chapter 1707: The Operation Begins

However, when they arrived at the place, Feng Yuan was surprised to find that what appeared this time was really… special.

“Reality conversion is already available? That’s progressing a bit too fast.”

Looking at the corner of a rundown city in the suburbs, Feng Yuan exclaimed, while Dou Yanlan puzzledly checked the phone map, only to find that this place was always marked as wasteland on the map, and even using the Alliance’s special map produced the same result.

Unlike the finely-mapped conventional maps, the Alliance’s special map is used solely for Beastmasters to quickly understand their surroundings in unknown environments, so it doesn’t have detailed road or specific information. Accordingly, the special map has a feature that ordinary maps don’t, which is its update speed.

Due to allowing cities to be marked by range without specific information, on the Alliance’s special map, you can only see where the city is, where the forest is, where there are large rivers, etc., and if areas prone to changes, like rivers, have issues such as sudden disruptions or floods, it would be reflected on the map immediately.

But in this near-real-time updated map, this place is still shown as wasteland. Looking at Feng Yuan puzzled, Dou Yanlan suddenly recalled something from his previous words and said,

“Could it be an overlap of Dream Domains?”

Recalling the incident at the amusement park before, Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but ask. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan amusingly said,

“Of course not, but Xiao Ji, try attacking the building with Netherwind.”

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s command, Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan puzzled. Seeing the other nod again, Xiao Ji spread its wings with confusion, and the black wind blew. The building attacked by Netherwind remained intact, which didn’t surprise Feng Yuan. He had studied it when he discovered that Xiao Ji had somehow developed this Divine Beast Technique by itself.

Netherwind has miraculous effects on life forms, but to non-living things, it’s like a strong wind passing through. However, by previous accounts, the building should have shattered, not remained intact as it is now.

“Interesting, has the strength increased again? Does that mean the Data Domain is also about to give birth to its own god?”

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan said with an inexplicable expression, Qi Chen couldn’t help but ask,

“What on earth are you talking about? Are these things urgently built by the academy?”

“No, do you mean to say that this place… is the Data Domain?”

“Of course not, I just didn’t expect the power of the Data Domain to interfere with reality to this extent.”

Stepping forward to punch the building recently attacked by Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said in surprise, if it were the initial Data Domain, it would certainly collapse under Xiao Ji’s Netherwind attack, even though Netherwind itself doesn’t have much physical attack power, but it is still Xiao Ji’s exclusive Divine Beast Technique.

But now the situation has changed, Xiao Ji’s exclusive Divine Beast Technique can’t easily destroy this building, which Feng Yuan found quite interesting, at least, Xiao Ji won’t be able to cheat later.

“Interesting, the data model here already basically has the ability to resist our power. Compared to the previous fragile Data Domain, it’s much more solid now.”

With a peculiar smile, Veronia said, it had just tried touching the building with its power compared to Xiao Ji, as a top Divine Beast, Veronia’s power contained even more formidable divine beast majesty, yet even so, those buildings had no reaction to it.

Of course, Veronia knew, though they could initially counter it, when they moved, these things might still be like tofu, shattering at a touch, as their power was too strong.

“Using data reality to build a scene, it seems today’s lesson isn’t simple.”

With a half-smile at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said in a peculiar tone, as for whether he worries about getting trapped himself? Hmph! At that time, he’ll just transform into a Little Husky and hang from the A Mu Tree Crown, adding a barrier, and enjoy the show.

Maybe Xiao Ji would be a bit unhappy, but thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem to affect Xiao Ji so severely, as for not being able to fight side by side with him?

Forget it. For something specially crafted like this, Feng Yuan didn’t believe there wouldn’t be bizarre devices involved.

Before everyone could further speculate, the teacher led them to the starting point. Looking at the empty small square, someone couldn’t help but curiously ask,

“This place? Isn’t it easy to escape? Not to mention the short distances around here, we have flying Beast Tamers who can simply fly into the sky, right? And is it just our class here?”

“That’s right, to prevent inter-class collaboration and cheating, each site is for a single class, and this test site is specially approved by the Special Duty Team for your first experience. As for escaping from here?”

With a smirk, the teacher glanced at Feng Yuan, as long as he didn’t intervene, the others wouldn’t find it so easy to escape, and as for flying Spirit Beasts flying away directly? They were too naive, did they really think such possibilities weren’t anticipated?

“Are they afraid we’ll fight again, so they split us up, saying it as though we could cheat by teaming up.”

Yawning, Feng Yuan said disdainfully, lightly patting Xiao Ji’s back, Feng Yuan said,

“Later, just focus on breaking through the devices, I’ll be hiding in the A Mu Tree Crown, I trust you can independently solve those…”

Initially, Xiao Ji thought Feng Yuan was entrusting it with a task. Finally able to fight alongside Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji felt quite happy. But hearing the latter part, Xiao Ji realized something was off; was Feng Yuan planning to slack off?

However, remembering how Feng Yuan dealt with mechanisms before, Xiao Ji twitched its tail feathers and ultimately said nothing, because while it couldn’t fight alongside him, taking Feng Yuan out of this square seemed not too bad?

Thinking so, Xiao Ji looked at the sky, contemplating whether to immediately take the transformed Little Husky and fly away once the start signal came.

However, once the teacher announced the start, most of the people realized how naïve they were. The ground suddenly cracked open, and Feng Yuan instantly turned into a Little Husky and calmly ran to the A Mu Tree Crown to lie down. During this time, the Flower Leaf Tree Three Spirit Beasts had already gotten familiar with the dormitory area manager aunt and her Spirit Beast,

and the pitiful experiences of those three little guys made the dormitory manager aunt particularly fond of them. So today, Qi Chen left those little ones with the dormitory manager, otherwise the transformed Little Husky would have had to fight over territory with those three little guys.

Ah Mu hugged Qi Chen with both arms and turned to search for Dou Yanlan, only to find Cotton using Nether Cross to slowly lower Dou Yanlan down. Actually, it wasn’t that Cotton didn’t want to carry Dou Yanlan up into the sky, but it and even the flying Spirit Beasts were affected by a strong downward pull.

Watching the square close back up, the teacher breathed a sigh of relief. He was just worried about Feng Yuan making a move at this moment, which would have spelled trouble since all their devices had the prerequisite of students entering the secret base below, with only Feng Yuan capable of breaking the constraints.

After a brief chaos, everyone quickly had their Beasts ready to slow the fall to prevent injuries from occurring. As for flying away? Forget about it, flying Spirit Beasts couldn’t even lift off, let alone other Spirit Beasts.

Landing on the ground, the metallic floor gleamed with a strange glow, and Qi Chen, who had experienced several ruins raids with Feng Yuan, inexplicably had a bad premonition. He looked at the Little Husky lying on the A Mu Tree Crown enjoying the view and asked,

“This… isn’t some ancient ruins mock-up?”

“Certainly not, ruins aren’t considered predicaments, don’t you think these things look like something from Meng Binglan’s lab?”

Pawing a vague direction, Little Husky yawned and said, although he had little interaction with Meng Binglan, certain tasks from the Special Duty Team occasionally required her assistance, and Qi Chen had accompanied him to Meng Binglan’s lab once or twice. Seeing these things, Qi Chen paused for a moment and said in surprise,

“Could it be…”

“Probably borrowed the parameters, after all, this isn’t a game, it’s impossible for imagined weapons to target us.”

Flicking his tail, Little Husky said nonchalantly, as he wasn’t the one facing the challenges, watching the fun seemed quite enjoyable～
