Divine Beast Creator

"This change, if people were to say it has nothing to do with the Qi Realm, I doubt anyone would believe it. According to my test, this change should be somewhat similar to the rules of the Qi Realm, Heart Driven Spirit. The exact effect is currently unclear, but at least I feel it’s not as simple as just Summoning the Phantom of the Departed."

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and started to explain. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan understood what Veronia was talking about, but Xiao Ji...

He turned to look at Xiao Ji, and sure enough, Xiao Ji was already bewildered. Although Veronia explained it fairly clearly, Xiao Ji apparently still didn’t have the ability to understand her words.

"Well... what does Heart Driven Spirit mean?"

It wasn’t just Xiao Ji. Off to the side, Qi Chen asked with a face full of embarrassment; he felt this matter wasn’t simple, but he didn’t understand what it was all about.

"Heart Driven Spirit is a kind of hypothesis. Theoretically, after long-term training, a Beastmaster can master each detail of releasing their Ultimate Move, but on top of that, there’s a hypothesis based on the premise that all things have spirits, which is... whether the Ultimate Move itself has a spirit."

"The Heart Driven Spirit is indeed one of the products of this hypothesis. With a sincere heart, you can shake the spirit of the Ultimate Move and produce unexpected effects, except, the current manifestations..."

Dou Yanlan knew the origin of this term. As she spoke, she frowned slightly. The current situation didn’t match the hypothesis of Heart Driven Spirit. Although there was a change, it was only the illusion of gathering what was thought in the heart, having nothing to do with the Ultimate Move itself.

"Simply put, as long as you believe in it, the Ultimate Move will exhibit special changes beyond normal. Generally speaking, it’s an enhancement, but just now, that performance didn’t seem quite like it, but it’s hard to say."

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia. If it’s a rule change brought by the Qi Realm, Heart Driven Spirit or even Heart Controlling Spirit isn’t impossible. After all, the overall rule of the Qi Realm is rather idealistic. If it weren’t for the limitations of the world’s origins, the creation of worlds by mere thought might even occur.

"Because I didn’t use Heart Driven Spirit just now. Heart Driven Spirit probably has this kind of effect."

Knowing what Feng Yuan was suspecting, Veronia didn’t explain too much. With a wave of her small hand, the familiar Crystal Rose Garden unfolded, but unlike during battles, it now formed only a small Crystal Rose Garden around the group.

However, unlike previous Crystal Rose Gardens, this time, those crystal roses appeared very lively. Even though they looked brilliant like crystal, they still gave the illusion of being real flowers. Not to mention, when the wind blew, the flowers, which should have been solid, swayed with the breeze.

"Is this... some sort of enhancement?"

Looking at these distinctive crystal roses, Feng Yuan asked curiously. Since no formal attack had been launched, he couldn’t tell what changes this Ultimate Move had undergone just by looking.

"Endlessly sustaining, or rather, maintaining this Ultimate Move, doesn’t require me to expend energy."

Veronia said with a light laugh, quite satisfied with this effect. Compared to other aspects of enhancement, endless sustaining was rather convenient for her since it allowed her to disregard the Ultimate Move once it was released.

Although the total energy of Divine Beasts is indeed high, maintaining these Ultimate Moves isn’t low in consumption, especially when repairing Crystal Roses after damage, which requires additional energy.

Now there’s no such problem, but in return, even Veronia, such a Divine Beast, can only deploy three of the endless sustaining Crystal Rose Garden at once, completely different from the unlimited number before the change.

But that’s not an issue. Veronia doesn’t rely solely on this Ultimate Move; rather, it’s used for low-intensity battles. If faced with high-intensity combat, she definitely wouldn’t use this Ultimate Move.

However, now that she has endless sustainment, it’s not impossible to throw it out during high-intensity battles. At the very least, once thrown, it won’t need attention. Who knows, maybe it might produce an extraordinary effect?

"That’s quite peculiar. Wait, do Ultimate Moves of other attributes have this effect too?"

Thinking about it, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia and asked. Because of the inherent strength of Divine Beasts, they notice various anomalies easily, so Feng Yuan didn’t feel like testing it himself.

"Mm-hmm, they should. At least when I attempted, I had this sense, though apart from the attributes of Death, Ghost, and Mysterious, other attributes seem to have some difficulty in mastering it. At least, that’s my impression."

Veronia hesitated as she spoke, because the ritual was still being held here. It wasn’t suitable to casually use Ultimate Moves, so she wasn’t sure about the real situation and could only estimate based on her feeling.

"Uh, okay, that makes sense, but if that’s the case..."

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment but gave up on the idea of letting Xiao Ji try it now. Unlike Veronia, Xiao Ji’s control over Ultimate Moves was not great. Using it here might cause unforeseen incidents, and Feng Yuan didn’t want to stir up trouble.

"Why don’t we head back to the academy?"

Qi Chen could see Feng Yuan’s dilemma and chimed in. They were only killing time here; it was evident that Feng Yuan wasn’t particularly interested in the ritual. Now, with something else arising, it felt unnecessary to remain.

"Hmm, okay, we can come back to check it out tonight."

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Yuan agreed. His purpose here wasn’t specific anyway; just passing time. Given that the situation is still unclear, he didn’t dare to leave Maomu City casually.

If his departure resulted in a crisis in Maomu City that he couldn’t return in time for, that would be bad. Feng Yuan was keenly aware that sometimes irreparable regret arises just like that.

Even though there are remedial measures, Feng Yuan chooses not to allow this possibility. He prefers to nip the danger in the bud rather than rely on post-hoc remedies.

Otherwise, Feng Yuan wouldn’t be idle enough to visit the ritual. If he could leave Maomu City, he’d definitely head directly to Cha Mu Town. Even in wartime, that place still has many attractions, considering tourism is one of its main development focuses.

The reason Feng Yuan planned to return here at night was completely due to the evening ritual with the release of Star Lamps. Since the release of lamps in Baiman City showed peculiar changes this time, Feng Yuan was very curious if the Star Lamp ritual tonight might also witness strange occurrences.

Currently, Maomu Academy is still quite deserted; the faculty are in the Combat Sequence, and even Gladys is assisting within the city’s defense sequence. However, due to Feng Yuan’s unique status, when he sought the keys from the security guarding the academy, they didn’t refuse and even contacted school maintenance to help with opening the training grounds.

The training grounds don’t solely rely on materials to withstand the impact of Ultimate Moves from Beastmasters. Or rather, only Ultimate Moves of Common Level and below can be countered this way; for Good Level Ultimate Moves, relying on materials alone requires rather costly ones.

In contrast, employing various methods to protect both the training grounds and the Beastmaster within makes more economic sense. At the same price, these grounds can be suitable for higher-order Beastmaster battles.

But conversely, now that nearly no one is in the entire academy, it’s natural for all facilities in the training grounds to be shut down.

Feng Yuan indeed knew how to activate them, but enlisting help from maintenance made it easier. Otherwise, if Xiao Ji’s Ultimate Move got out of hand and caused damage, it would be troublesome.

Even though he didn’t worry about the school holding him accountable, the subsequent compensations could be quite cumbersome. Moreover, Feng Yuan wanted to have one more person for testing.

Don’t underestimate maintenance personnel; at the Beast Taming Academy, they’re not simple to compare with ordinary people. At least power-wise, they’re stronger than average individuals.

This is also why Maomu Academy’s campus is nearly empty. After all, almost all the faculty can engage in battle. If not for needing someone to guard the academy, perhaps aside from Feng Yuan, no one would be left here.

The one responsible for maintenance was a scholarly man with glasses, who always wore a gentle smile, patiently explaining to Feng Yuan and helping start the training facilities. Just as he was heading to a nearby rest room, Feng Yuan stopped him and said

"Excuse me, could you assist us with the experiment? With just us, some data might not be accurate enough."

"Experiment?"

With a benevolent smile on his face, he looked at Feng Yuan puzzledly. Wasn’t the other party here to train his Beastmaster?
