Using the traits of a Desperate Counterattack, Qi Chen and the others managed to inflict considerable damage to the Leopard-type Spirit Beast without resorting to Mythical Transformation. However, this tactic cannot be employed repeatedly, so Feng Yuan was curious about their next steps.
The Leopard-type Spirit Beast is again enveloped in purple smoke, but this time the opponent did not approach; instead, it wandered around, occasionally shooting Shadow Arrows that collided with the barrier Ah Mu had raised. Xing Bo guarded Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, aside from the standard defensive barrier, Xing Bo possessed a nearly invincible special defensive Ultimate Move that had not been used yet.
Even so, the opponent still posed a great pressure to Qi Chen and the others, as they can’t rely on clever tactics interminably, and the opponent’s Spiritual Beast Order is exceedingly high.
"If only they wouldn’t come one after another."
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan murmured; if the opponent’s beasts all appeared at once, Ah Mu and Hao Chun Bird could join forces using Mythical Transformation to finish them in one wave. However, because they came in rounds, Qi Chen found it difficult to manage, as after the consumption of Mythical Transformation, only Tamur could bestow it again.
Thinking about it, Feng Yuan didn’t think Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection would allow them to repeatedly gain the power of Mythical Transformation, as that wouldn’t differ from him getting directly involved.
The Leopard-type Spirit Beast still resorted to a burst attack flow. Feng Yuan was somewhat doubtful of Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Beast Tamer team configuration; it didn’t look like a defending team at all. Moreover, by right, the opponent should only have four beasts, yet Feng Yuan felt new beasts could still appear.
Thinking this, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Realm Dou Yanlan in the heat of the battle. The opponent’s team was fully deployed, the Leopard-type Spirit Beast found its original form as a Star Spirit Leopard—a special Mystic Series Spirit Beast—that maintains a single form from birth to Legendary Level, branching into different forms only upon reaching Legendary due to different sources of contact.
Regarding positioning, it certainly wasn’t a scout but a primary attacker. As for Qi Hua Yaoyao, Feng Yuan didn’t see it in the opponent’s team, which was understandable. If not for Qi Realm’s Qi Hua Yaoyao being able to bloom flowers beyond reality, it wouldn’t qualify to appear in battles at the Legendary stage.
Of course, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s strength wasn’t at the Legendary Level, only at Rare Level. Feng Yuan didn’t know why the Soul Projection turned out stronger by one level.
Based on Qi Hua Yaoyao’s state, Feng Yuan inferred Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection was probably a full eight-beast team. Thus, if Qi Chen used Mythical Transformation to tackle the two Spirit Beasts now, four more beasts would be waiting.
"Now, Cotton! Nether Cross!"
While lost in thought, Dou Yanlan’s shout brought Feng Yuan’s attention back to the field, as the Leopard-type Spirit Beast was tangled by Ah Mu’s vines, unable to break free. Cotton seemed prepared; with Dou Yanlan’s shout, Cotton unleashed Nether Cross, crashing toward the Leopard-type Spirit Beast.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan was stunned; if he wasn’t mistaken, Dou Yanlan had asked Long Boduo to transform the surroundings into Nether Soil, which meant the Nether Cross Ultimate Move wouldn’t open the gate now.
Nonetheless, this didn’t render Nether Cross ineffective. Following a brief charge, Nether Cross collided with the Leopard-type Spirit Beast while Cotton quickly jumped off and distanced itself before impact.
"I see, Nether Cross in Netherworld targets the soul specially, but does Soul Attack work on Qi Realm creatures?"
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan was curious, given that Qi Realm creatures were peculiar—they were undead, that’s one thing. But didn’t lack bizarre new traits either; he couldn’t guess what Dou Yanlan was aiming for with this move.
Strictly speaking, Qi Realm creatures don’t have their own souls.
In fact, the Leopard-type Spirit Beast didn’t have a real soul, making the soul-based attack of Nether Cross ineffective. However, to everyone’s surprise, even so, the body’s surface still showed corresponding damage.
"Hmm, it’s not Soul Damage manifested, more like forcing Soul Attack to take effect? No, this is..."
Whispering to himself, Feng Yuan discovered that Qi Realm wasn’t entirely disorderly; still, he couldn’t comprehend the rule.
The scene before him suggested that Qi Realm fairly converted damage that couldn’t take effect due to its own traits into normal damage directly on the Leopard-type Beast Tamer’s body.
But why there’s this seemingly redundant rule left Feng Yuan puzzled, given that it’s unnecessary for Qi Realm.
With the inherent undead nature and its overpowered traits, the seemingly fair rule seemed redundant.
Could there be something he didn’t know?
Thinking thus, Feng Yuan quietly watched the combat of Qi Chen and others. Perhaps realizing more new beasts might appear later, neither Qi Chen nor Dou Yanlan continued using Mythical Transformation to counter the enemy.
However, within the environment Dou Yanlan set up, where Mythical Transformation usage was consumed, they could repeatedly execute attacks similar to real damage, allowing them to barely resolve the Leopard-type Spirit Beast and Qi Hua Yaoyao.
"Snowstorm Spirit Elephant? It doesn’t look like hers."
Seeing the giant beast that appeared with a blizzard, Feng Yuan was stunned. The Snowstorm Spirit Elephant is a Water Attribute Spirit Beast similar in role to Ah Mu, both being robust blood shields specifically protecting allies’ attackers.
Yet, many of the Elephant’s Ultimate Moves relied on blizzard weather, making it less flexible compared to Ah Mu for team selection.
At least teammates shouldn’t be affected by the blizzard. However, Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s beasts, not to mention others, among those previously appearing ones, would have their vision reduced and movement speed restricted in the snowstorm.
Normally, Snowstorm Spirit Elephants align with ice field or snow domain beasts, seldom pairing with other regional beasts, as others would struggle not to be affected by the blizzard.
Moreover, another beast had a Water Attribute too but was of considerable size. Or, Feng Yuan suspected if not for Qi Realm’s special ability, this opponent might strand.
Indeed, the other Spirit Beast was an ocean creature, the Tyrant Sea Snake, albeit not as significantly weakened as a fish when away from seawater, but its prowess greatly diminished outside oceanic settings.
Not to mention, the adjacent ally carried blizzards with it, so while the Tyrant Sea Snake could operate freely on land thanks to surrounding special seawater, the snowstorm inevitably caused ice floes to appear in the seawater.
"Is this... supposed to be funny?"
For some reason, Feng Yuan felt Qi Realm Dou Yanlan’s Soul Projection might be a bit out of order, assembling such a strange combination.
"Not necessarily, although the sea snake looks like it’s nearly catching a cold, neither of these beasts’ attributes have changed. Guess what has?"
Veronia attentively gazed at the two large beasts, jesting; she didn’t believe the Soul Projection would create a backward-pulling combination, let alone Qi Realm Projection altering beasts’ attributes and positions.
If both were normal Spirit Beasts, this wouldn’t be a great combo; but after Qi Realm’s transformation, that might differ, Veronia sensed an intention to mislead.
Of course, given Feng Yuan’s skills, he wouldn’t truly overlook it; however, since he wasn’t participating in this battle, alongside their moderate strength, Feng Yuan hadn’t thought deeply about it.
If strength suffices to breach subtlety, he wouldn’t bother contemplating much.
"Ah Chen, be cautious; that Snowstorm Spirit Elephant is problematic. I’ll have Cotton constrain the Tyrant Sea Snake, you should focus on subduing the Elephant promptly."
"Also, don’t use Mythical Transformation."
With a stern expression, Dou Yanlan admonished Qi Chen, then turned to command Cotton to disrupt the Tyrant Sea Snake. Although the opponent used its inherent Ultimate Moves currently, Dou Yanlan’s expression grew increasingly cold.
Qi Chen didn’t know why Dou Yanlan insisted thus. Given her request, he could only try his utmost.
Indeed, only try, as Qi Chen was unsure if he could swiftly eliminate the Snowstorm Spirit Elephant, knowing it was a Legendary Level Spirit Beast akin to Ah Mu, excelling in blood quantity.
Without employing Mythological Moves, dispatching it wouldn’t be easy, considering the strength and Order disparity present.
