Divine Beast Creator

Aside from the Great Tree, Ah Mu’s ultimate move doesn’t stand out much, or rather, in the Qi Realm Stance, it transforms into primarily enhancing damage absorption while accompanying numerous counterattack techniques.

At first glance, it resembles a defensive role somewhat, but these ultimate moves are mostly aimed at inflicting greater damage on the enemy as the primary goal, so to be precise, it is indeed an attack-oriented stance.

It’s just that this attack stance seems too much like the ultimate moves used by defensive Beast Tamers, after all, this kind of widespread shelter is rare even among defensive Beast Tamers.

"Ah Mu’s position is really stable."

Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but laugh, considering that Feng Yuan’s Spirit Beast hasn’t shown such strange behavior, Qi Chen scratched his head and chuckled, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said

"Next up is her."

Nodding, Dou Yanlan didn’t say much as she quickly walked onto the field. She was also curious about how Cotton’s ultimate moves would change.

At first, not only Veronia, but even Dou Yanlan didn’t quite understand why Cotton’s ultimate moves seemed so peculiar.

"Feng Yuan, why do I feel Cotton’s ultimate move seems... off?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, Qi Chen decided to verify with Feng Yuan. Touching his chin, Feng Yuan frowned and said

"All of them are medium to low power moves, which doesn’t fit the characteristics of an attack stance. There should be some special feature that hasn’t been displayed, otherwise it wouldn’t be like this, wait..."

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan clapped his hands and shouted to Dou Yanlan

"Have Cotton try adding a weakness!"

"Adding a weakness?"

Not only Dou Yanlan, but even Veronia was stunned. Adding a weakness is an ability more rare than shelter, of course, in terms of utility, adding a weakness and shelter can’t be easily compared as stronger, since their directions of use are entirely different.

Adding a weakness, as the name implies, is about giving the target a specific attribute weakness. During the state duration, that attribute can deal weakness damage to the target. It’s known that Spirit Beasts rarely come with inherent vulnerability attributes.

Weakness isn’t just about increased damage; many ultimate moves specifically targeting weaknesses exist with special effects triggered when attacking weaknesses.

If Cotton can add weaknesses, then her current ultimate moves might be explained, as those moves against weaknesses usually don’t have strong power under normal circumstances.

But that doesn’t mean those ultimate moves are weak. If the target has a vulnerability attribute, the power and effects of these moves could far surpass conventional high-powered moves.

As expected, upon receiving the command, Cotton waved her paw, a ghostly blue light flashed, and the giant crystal was coated in a faint blue water film, but this layer of water film was purely illusory.

Just by observing this, everyone could guess this was a water attribute weakness addition. As the water weakness was added, Cotton’s attacks on the giant crystal indeed changed; attacks that seemed unremarkable suddenly became imposing.

"Targeting weaknesses? If Cotton possesses the ability to add more than one type of weakness, it could be quite impressive."

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan muttered, not knowing if it was really the case, but he speculated a high likelihood.

Adding a weakness may seem formidable but isn’t without flaws. That is, weakness addition can’t apply to immunities, meaning if the target is immune to the attribute, the weakness addition for that attribute won’t be effective.

In the Qi Realm Stance, Cotton’s ultimate moves revolve entirely around weaknesses. It’s evident that immunity attributes pose a significant restraint, also aside from inherent immunities, some ultimate moves can temporarily add attribute immunity, in which case the weakness attribute would also be negated.

If Cotton only adds water weaknesses, comparatively speaking, it would be significantly weaker, hence Feng Yuan leaned toward Cotton having multiple weakness attributes to add.

The facts also didn’t exceed Feng Yuan’s expectations; with various attribute weaknesses added to the giant crystal, the massive crystal shone with a colorful glow.

"Indeed, impressive."

Seeing this, Veronia couldn’t help but exclaim. Although under single attribute weakness, Cotton’s offensive capability may even seem inferior to Hao Chun Bird, the proficiency in all lower attribute weaknesses couldn’t be denied, and besides the seemingly unspectacular power of those moves, it’s because those moves will change their own attributes based on the weakness attributes.

This leads to a condition where unless encountering an enemy with immunity to all lower attributes, otherwise Cotton’s Qi Realm Stance can always be in a state of weakness restraint.

"But it’s a bit strange, if Cotton’s ability is like this, then..."

Gazing towards Xing Bo, Feng Yuan had a speculation, primarily because Xing Bo’s ability hasn’t been tested, whereas Cotton’s Qi Realm Stance ultimate moves have been mostly evaluated.

Very unique, or rather, Cotton’s ultimate moves aren’t about self-enhancement or directly dealing damage to the target. Even if her own ultimate move attributes freely shift, it doesn’t have the capability to alter the attributes of allies.

That isn’t much in itself because typically in a well-coordinated Beastmaster team, the main Spirit Beasts generally end this way, but considering the impact of integration, Feng Yuan has reasons to suspect that the auxiliary tasks might entirely fall on Xing Bo.

To confirm this point is also simple, testing Xing Bo’s ultimate moves will reveal that.

Dou Yanlan naturally thought of this issue too, given Cotton’s performance is outstanding, yet lacks team cooperation. This is normal in conventional teams, but in a Qi Realm Stance team, it appears somewhat abnormal.

Even Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound can attain cooperative combat abilities in Qi Realm Stance, there’s no reason why Cotton would be so peculiar, hence...

"Xing Bo’s ultimate moves really are what they are, offensive stance remains offensive, even as auxiliary, it’s auxiliary offense."

Laughing and shaking his head, Feng Yuan watched as Xing Bo exhibited the ultimate moves. As they guessed, Xing Bo’s ability concentrated on enhancing the squad’s capability, as for diminishing the opponent’s abilities? There are those, yet they depend on the target’s weakness attributes, with added different weakening effects when deploying attack ultimate moves.

Ultimate moves that boost overall team capability and enhance other ultimate move powers are attack moves. Although it seems like gaining an additional attack count, since these ultimate moves are enhanced through added effects when they hit targets.

However, no one overlooked an important issue, which is if the ultimate move doesn’t hit, the trigger conditions for the accompanying effects would also go unsatisfied.

Meaning Xing Bo, unlike conventional auxiliary Spirit Beasts, whose ultimate moves don’t attack targets, aren’t limited by needing to hit targets to activate auxiliary effects either.

If selectable, auxiliary-position Beast Tamers absolutely wouldn’t pair with ultimate moves requiring target hits for effectiveness because dealing output is not their job.

However, in this case, it’s still okay because possessing offensive capability, coupled with Cotton’s added suppression with weaknesses, becomes a good choice in Dou Yanlan’s hands.

Indeed, it’s not Feng Yuan underestimating Qi Chen, but Cotton and Xing Bo’s Qi Realm Stance; he simply can’t handle it.

Like Cotton, it’s not just about adding weakness attributes simply because Xing Bo’s ultimate move, when faced with different weaknesses, inflicts various negative statuses and effects on the enemies hit. So what weakness to add becomes crucial.

Even Cotton’s ultimate moves display different behaviors due to differing weaknesses.

If it was only this, it would be fine, since with attribute immunities, perhaps sometimes the optimal solution’s weakness attribute coincides with an immunity attribute, and at this point, how to deal with it, Feng Yuan doesn’t believe Qi Chen can currently handle it.

"Seems quite complex."

Beside him, Qi Chen also voiced his own sentiment, realizing that in Qi Realm Stance Cotton’s ultimate moves aren’t ordinarily complex, given the presence of weakness attributes, many considerations are needed during combat.

"Low floor, high ceiling, currently you probably can’t manage this."

Feng Yuan laughed and looked at Xing Bo still demonstrating the ultimate moves and said, scratching his head, Qi Chen giggled without refuting. Feng Yuan’s claim was true, and he didn’t think he had the skills to command such a battle.

"A shame, high ceiling aside, compared to normal conditions, there hasn’t been a qualitative change."

Sighing, Feng Yuan spoke wistfully. Although in Qi Realm Stance, both Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan’s Spirit Beast strengths have risen, however, due to all being in attack-oriented stances, when handling different scenarios, the effects differ entirely, and even in many cases don’t surpass the original stances.
