Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 267 - 267 267 Flaw_1
267: Chapter 267 Flaw_1 267: Chapter 267 Flaw_1 Recalling that Drudgeon’s youth was overseen by Agunas, Feng Yuan immediately understood why Drudgeon had not thrown a tantrum at the time.
At this moment, Pei Yu said impatiently,
“Are you coming or not?
The safe period is almost over!”
Only then did Feng Yuan carefully observe his surroundings.
Everyone was in a huge room made of brick and stone, with a transparent barrier in front, blocking the passage.
The remaining three sides were huge brick and stone walls covered with various marks left by weapons.
On a sky-blue translucent window on the barrier it read,
“Time left until the first round begins: 1 minute 37 seconds.”
“Each victory in battle is considered obtaining one treasure.”
“Current victories: 0.”
“Remaining allowable failures: 3.”
Feng Yuan curled his lip and said,
“Looks like it’s the same old Ancient Roman Colosseum routine, tsk, so boring.”
Seeing Xiao Ji still arguing with Agunas, Feng Yuan walked over, patted Xiao Ji’s head, and said,
“Since that’s the case, don’t use your Incarnation of Power during the fight, just battle alongside them.”
When he saw Xiao Ji looking at him with confusion, Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s fur and continued,
“It looks like it’ll be a team battle soon, but that’s fine.
I trust that they won’t fall behind at the beginning, and I will support from behind.
You can fight with all your strength freely~”
Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan but didn’t say anything more.
If they really let Xiao Ji start off as the Incarnation of Power, even the teams from Maomu Academy wouldn’t withstand Xiao Ji’s three rounds of attacks.
While the ranking would rise, the true significance would be minimal.
Pei Yu hadn’t thought this through, and simply looked at Feng Yuan with disdain as he said,
“You just want to slack off, don’t you?
Not only do you want to slack off, you’re also trying to make Xiao Ji lazy as well?”
Zhong Liuyan quickly pulled Pei Yu aside and whispered something.
After a moment, Pei Yu came over reluctantly and apologized to Feng Yuan.
Feng Yu smiled without saying much.
Then, as the countdown ended, the barrier disappeared, the prompt message floated above the passageway, and the countdown text changed to,
“The first round of battle begins, if not entered within 2 minutes 59 seconds it will be regarded as forfeiture and treated as a defeat.”
“Let’s go~”
Seeing that Feng Yuan wanted to lead the way, Pei Yu quickly rushed to the front and directed Duomeng to move to the forefront, saying,
“Didn’t you say you’re going to be support?
Since when does support take the lead?”
“Pei Yu!”
Zhong Liuyan called out to Pei Yu with a hint of displeasure, while Feng Yuan stepped back, shrugged, and said,
“Suit yourself.”
Entering an oval-shaped duel arena, Feng Yuan looked around and noted only the towering walls of stone bricks, with no stands above the stone walls, and he chuckled sarcastically,
“I actually thought I’d see an Ancient Roman arena~”
“What’s an Ancient Roman arena?
What kind of strange place is that?”
Qi Chen asked, looking puzzled at Feng Yuan.
Dou Yanlan glanced at the opposing team and said,
“They seem to be a social group.
Overall strength is mediocre, with Elite Level Spirit Beasts accounting for only about a third.
Their coordination isn’t very rational, probably a team hastily assembled for the competition.”
Zhong Liuyan took a closer look and expressed her doubts,
“Why can you be sure it’s a social group?
Look at their ages; isn’t it possible they’re from an academy team?”
“The numbers don’t match.
Academy teams have more Spirit Beasts than they do, considering academy graduates are also counted in the academy team.
Ordinary people, unlike academy students, generally don’t have a second Beast Tamer contract with a Spirit Beast at this age.”
Qi Chen said with some confusion,
“Why don’t ordinary people have them?
Everyone has the same recovery time, right?”
“Without suitable Spirit Beasts—for generally, failing to get into an academy implies a lack of strength—those Spirit Beasts might not take a liking to you if you’re not strong enough, and if you don’t have the strength, you can’t afford to keep those powerful Spirit Beasts.
Let’s not mention the evolution materials which are insanely expensive; as for daily food, it depends on the situation.
Duomeng might cost a bit more, obviously, because he eats a lot.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Duomeng growled discontentedly, and Pei Yu nodded and said,
“Duomeng does eat a lot usually, but Duomeng can carry people.
If your Xiao Ji evolved in the direction of being able to carry people, it would probably eat a lot too, right?”
“Of course, only Qi Chen’s Ah Mu is saving on food, since it can stave off hunger with that rooting trick if it can’t afford its meals.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen said somewhat speechlessly,
“You make it sound like I can’t afford Ah Mu’s food.”
“For the time being, you certainly can’t afford it, especially since you’ve never given Ah Mu any of those nutritional liquids.”
Feng Yuan reeled off a long list of item names, and at this moment, Zhong Liuyan said exasperatedly,
“Enough, they’re attacking us now!”
Seeing the opponent’s spirit beast charging over, there was no time for conversation.
Duomeng stood in the way of the opposing spirit beast, while Feng Yuan swung the scepter in his hand, continuously creating crystal barriers to block the attacks that they couldn’t dodge for everyone.
“Their coordination is quite good.
The Steel Rhino blocks most of the opponents, the White-furred Spirit Monkey and that weird Eggshell Chicken are quite competent as attackers, and the Brocade Fur Spirit Cat does an effective job disrupting the opponent’s offense as support, while the Giant Tree Demon might be in a supporting role, but it seems focused on auxiliary attacks.”
“That Eggshell Chicken really is strange, looking at its damage effect, something seems off.”
“Not right!
How did the protection mechanism for the competition get triggered?”
Seeing a spirit beast that Xiao Ji attacked suddenly be transferred away, the judges paying attention to Feng Yuan and their fight were surprised.
Seeing the spirit beasts defeated by Xiao Bai just lying on the ground covered by a dome signifying that they were defeated, the others felt it strange as well.
At this moment, Elder Li said somewhat helplessly,
“That Eggshell Chicken’s attack has the upper tier attribute of Death Series.
It completely broke through the restrictions of the Data Domain.”
“You lot, send someone immediately to treat that spirit beast and return it to the arena.”
“But…”
“It’s our oversight.
We should have taken into account the upper tier attributes when setting up this content.
Go on, be quick!”
Watching the struggling figures on the screen, Elder Li said calmly,
“It seems his friends aren’t simple either.
If I were in charge of admissions at the academy, I would definitely try to bring them all in together.”
“Elder Li, do you really think so highly of them?”
“Don’t forget, they are just high school students.
But this level of coordination, even in the academy, could only be achieved by members of certain teams.”
“That’s true.
I wonder if any academy could be lucky enough to bring them all in.”
After the fight ended and they returned to the starting room, Feng Yuan sat in a newly appeared stone chair and groomed Xiao Ji’s fluffy coat.
Qi Chen said, puzzled,
“Why do I feel like the crystal barrier you cast is stronger now?”
“It’s not that it’s stronger, but because Nagna’s Crystal Barrier is an upper tier attribute.
They didn’t handle the upper tier attribute well when they were converting it, so now your attacks on the upper tier abilities are completely ineffective.”
“Isn’t that cheating?”
Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said irritably,
“What cheating?
It’s their own fault for not addressing these issues properly.
Whether it’s the power of the White Wolf Deity or Nagna’s power, or the Power of Death I used before, they are all upper tier attributes.
Unless I don’t enter the battle, and the same for Xiao Ji.
Just now, that Black Rock Turtle was probably directly knocked out of the arena by Xiao Ji, since Xiao Ji’s attacks basically all carry the Death Series attribute, completely bypassing their set rule restrictions.”
“Aren’t they going to fix this loophole immediately?”
“Are you planning to take advantage of this loophole to climb the rankings before they fix it?”
“No!
I just think it’s not right.”
Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said calmly,
“Do you think using ‘Coming of the Future’ isn’t cheating?”
“That…”
