Divine Beast Creator

Just as Feng Yuan thought, they could win; it’s just that, given the disparity in strength and numbers between both sides, they had to almost make no mistakes to win.

Feng Yuan himself was not affected; in the second round, he had adapted to the rhythm of combat. However, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan inevitably made command errors.

The consequence of this was that the second battle ended in failure again, but to Feng Yuan’s surprise, they still planned to continue trying.

"Um, though I don’t really mind, is it necessary to push so hard?"

Holding Xiao Ji in hawk form in his arms and stroking the feathers while using a special technique to relieve its muscle fatigue, Feng Yuan asked somewhat curiously.

Because Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen not only wanted to challenge a third time but also wanted to change the battle environment and opponents, meaning they wanted to avoid a scenario where they could rely on memorization to clear the stage.

Feng Yuan, of course, understood why they would make such a request; reality is not a game where there is no chance to start over, and memorization-based victory is just self-deception. What’s more, these battles were so extreme that any slight change would completely alter the entire process.

"If there’s an opportunity, it’s better to try than to regret later."

Dou Yanlan spoke calmly, looking at Qi Chen, who nodded in agreement. Even though he knew the possibility was low, they still had the chance to try, and no one could say that the extremely low probability wouldn’t happen.

Especially after having gone through all sorts of bizarre incidents with Feng Yuan, he felt that so-called low-probability events didn’t seem low at all.

Seeing even Xiao Ji nodding in agreement and chirping approvingly, Feng Yuan amusingly tapped it on the head and said,

"Alright then, since you’re willing, I’ll naturally always be here for you."

To Feng Yuan, these extreme battles, though a bit troublesome, weren’t exhausting. After all, he had experienced battles even more extreme than these. He was mainly asking because such actions could be mentally taxing for Qi Chen and the others.

Just because Feng Yuan found it easy didn’t mean they could handle it easily. Or rather, if not for this reason, they wouldn’t have made so many mistakes.

Even with rest, a strained mind doesn’t recover quickly, so Feng Yuan and the others weren’t in a rush to start the next challenge, as it would be meaningless. Even tough training requires skills, and brute force would only be twice the effort for half the result.

"Ah Chen, I..."

Hesitating, Dou Yanlan looked up at Qi Chen with a hint of confusion; Qi Chen was startled by her action, as was Feng Yuan, who was curious about what Dou Yanlan wanted to do.

"What’s wrong?"

Feng Yuan asked first because he felt Qi Chen might not be able to provide an answer to what Dou Yanlan wanted to express, or could only offer comfort.

"I... I’ve been thinking, can we use the power of the Qi Realm? I know it’s risky, but... we don’t know what the future holds, even though the possibility is slim, but if we encounter such a combat team..."

"You’re overthinking it. The odds of your team encountering them alone are virtually nonexistent. You won’t even leave the city, and even during patrols, you’ll act as part of a large unit; at that time, who fears whom isn’t certain."

"As for when it’s just the three of us... they should be the ones afraid."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan spoke speechlessly. Dou Yanlan had taken the simulated scenario too seriously. However, not to mention that they would go on patrols with the larger team, but if it came down to just the three of them alone...

Feng Yuan wouldn’t need to act; the two Divine Beasts beside him could easily handle those guys.

Dou Yanlan, caught in her own bind, blushed and bowed her head in silence after being chided by Feng Yuan, realizing she had been too engrossed, completely forgetting the reality of the situation.

Even with just the three of them, if they truly encountered trouble, it would be those guys who would end up in a bad spot.

If Feng Yuan weren’t there, their training would be meaningless since it included his Beastmaster presence.

"Perhaps, but... at least we can gain combat experience, so we won’t make inaccurate judgments like at the beginning."

After a moment of silence, Qi Chen spoke. Although he didn’t say it outright, he did somewhat envy his own combat skills from the war timeline. After all, those were honed through countless battles, and although Qi Chen gained a lot from Feng Yuan, without resorting to some underhanded tactics and being on the same Order, Qi Chen would surely lose in a fight.

There’s no helping it; combat experience might seem insignificant but can be crucial at times.

"You have a point. Anyway, there’s nothing else to do right now... let’s continue then."

After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuan nodded. Although those combat experiences might not be useful to him, they weren’t the same for Qi Chen and the others. Moreover, Feng Yuan was currently stuck in Maomu City, and there seemed to be no other recreational activities to choose from.

"It’s truly bothersome, but... I didn’t expect it to be like this. The side effects aren’t absent; at least those students shouldn’t try it lightly, and moreover..."

Looking at her partner in its altered form beside her, Meng Binglan spoke as she made quick notes, while a male research assistant watched her with concern.

After a few days of preliminary study, Meng Binglan decided to personally try the Qi Realm Stance, as the descriptions from Feng Yuan alone couldn’t provide an accurate judgment. Besides, Meng Binglan believed she wouldn’t lose herself.

As for the impact on her psyche, she believed that if necessary, Feng Yuan could address it, and even if it couldn’t be fully resolved, it wouldn’t matter too much.

Her research was relatively independent, or rather, her research institute was mainly driven by her alone, and those projects weren’t key projects of Great Xia, even though some findings were quite valuable.

Or put another way, for Great Xia, her sacrifice wouldn’t result in any irreparable loss.

Although somewhat cruel, she also knew she wasn’t one of the irreplaceable top researchers; furthermore, she was interested in the Qi Realm Stance.

This thing might not significantly benefit the military since teamwork is crucial in the military, and when forming teams, each one’s characteristics are already taken into account; there’s no need or possibility for change.

In a small team, each person’s role is relatively fixed, and a change in stance might disrupt previous combat arrangements unless there’s a change in the team composition.

But even in such situations, changing stance might not have a significant impact.

"For ordinary Beastmasters, it leads to noticeable improvements in strength; although changing stance alters roles, a sort of unifying effect emerges."

As Meng Binglan spoke, she let her Beastmaster test various ultimate moves. She noticed this herself: normally, aside from the military, most people, including powerful Beastmasters, encountered overlapping abilities in their Spirit Beasts.

Take Qi Chen; even though Ah Mu is primary and Hao Chun Bird is auxiliary, their offensive aspects overlap, which is inevitable.

However, Meng Binglan noticed during the change in stance that the previously overlapping abilities of her Beastmaster virtually disappeared.

This can’t be said to be good or bad, as ordinary Spirit Beasts have limited abilities, and this reallocation essentially optimizes their abilities according to designated roles.

While this enables it to exhibit ultimate abilities in fixed combat roles, it also means that when temporarily taking up other combat roles, it might be less effective than before optimization.

"I need to undertake psychological testing again; the Qi Realm Stance holds medium to high value, being ineffective for expedition teams but quite effective for local defense; now further safety testing is needed."

Meng Binglan said, looking at the research assistant, who was present to facilitate her psychological assessments, as identifying one’s own psychological issues isn’t easy, especially those well-hidden ones.

But this stance’s most crucial aspect is psychological safety. If it fails to meet this standard, Meng Binglan would strongly advise against its use in her report, even if it significantly enhances combat power.

"Looks like Meng Binglan has results over there. Should we check it out in the afternoon?"

After another morning of training, Feng Yuan hung up the phone and asked Qi Chen, gently tapping Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said,

"Don’t worry; the Qi Realm Stance might not be of much use to you."
