Divine Beast Creator

Qi Chen and his group showed no dissatisfaction with Feng Yuan’s cold water remark, because the facts were as stated; the Qi Realm Stance did not bring a qualitative change in strength, but merely granted them the ability to cope with more complex situations.

This point is neither good nor bad. Although the side effects were significant, and Qi Chen and his group still hadn’t fully recovered, looking at it from another angle, they managed to further enhance their strength beyond conventional growth, and in some dire situations, it could have miraculous effects.

However, the applicable scope of these effects was too narrow. At least for the present testing phase, Feng Yuan’s situation was somewhat better because he hadn’t even considered team coordination. With Xing Bo’s support, Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound could manifest combat power much stronger than their normal form.

Qi Chen and his group were different; in most scenarios, the effect of the Qi Realm Stance was inferior to the original form, because unless in a Beast tournament, they always had to prepare defensively.

Even though Ah Mu had a similar ultimate move that offered shelter in the Qi Realm Stance, the shelter could merely transfer damage and was unable to address negative states. In this aspect, it was not as good as the original form.

"It’s evidently not suitable for military application, and even city patrol should be considered with caution."

After receiving data from Qi Chen’s group, Meng Binglan sighed. Although she had some expectations, she hadn’t anticipated this extent, and the reason for saying so was purely due to the alteration of the ultimate moves.

As for the military, it goes without saying; a military force with only offensive capabilities is practically courting disaster. Regardless of anything, strong assaults cannot merely push through. Even with significant enhancement of the Qi Realm Stance, it cannot surpass Divine Beasts. If one truly wants to push through, Divine Beasts can already accomplish that.

However, how to occupy the territory after the assault, how to respond to subsequent counterattacks, and other scenarios are all factors that need consideration. The current Qi Realm Stance clearly does not meet these requirements.

Concerning city defense, it doesn’t need to be elaborated; their requirements are more in the defensive aspect. While enhanced offensive capabilities are good, lacking them doesn’t significantly impact matters; only the Special Duty Team has some demand for this, as they indeed require elite squads to execute dangerous tasks in certain instances.

"The crux lies in the Defensive Stance. Without it, the practical application of the Qi Realm Stance is very narrow."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan commented. Even without auxiliary position Beasts, the combination is already adequate to meet part of the standard scenarios’ requirements. Currently, with only the Attack Stance, its usability is exceedingly limited.

"Nothing can be done; nobody knows how to manage other stances."

With a smile, Meng Binglan remained unconcerned. She merely researched whether the Qi Realm Stance posed any hidden dangers. As for whether it could be utilized or how to better utilize it, she didn’t care.

It’s precisely because of this mindset that she hadn’t deeply researched more variations of the Qi Realm Stance; there was no need. Not to mention that she originally didn’t have this idea; even if she did, other researchers should be responsible. She wasn’t competent in this area.

The only reason she’s involved now is considering Feng Yuan’s presence, which makes it more convenient. After all, others researching the Qi Realm Stance have too many concerns, unlike her, who has Feng Yuan overseeing things to directly point out any inadequacies, and if any incident occurs, Feng Yuan can manage the situation.

"True, then let it be. If more stances deepen psychological negative impacts, it becomes somewhat inappropriate."

Thinking of something, Feng Yuan sighed. Typically, it wouldn’t be so, but the Qi Realm is so unique that Feng Yuan finds it hard to believe that different stances wouldn’t amplify negative effects.

"If more stances can be acquired, I believe many people would be willing to bear that cost."

At this point, Dou Yanlan completed testing and walked over. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, she shared her perspective, or rather, this is what most people would think.

Although it’s merely different stances, just being able to switch between them implies a completely different enhancement of strength compared to now. She even believed the military would consider deploying the Qi Realm Stance internally.

"Well, saying so isn’t incorrect."

After thinking it over, Feng Yuan no longer tangled with this matter; he turned to both and said,

"Next is the live combat testing?"

"Yes, I also want to see what results the Qi Realm Stance can produce under severe limitations."

Nodding, Dou Yanlan showed some anticipation. Feng Yuan could be considered fortunate, as not everyone can blindly mix squads like him. Nevertheless, she had to concede that even with a full squad of attackers, the integration enabling the squad to exhibit significant coordination was indeed impressive.

She also wanted to know how these ultimate moves would perform in actual combat.

Although she had already witnessed all ultimate moves being performed in testing, this merely gave surface knowledge; actual combat application truly determines the power. Poor usability or improper usage might make the original ultimate moves more effective.

"Just confirm you have no issues."

Looking again toward Dou Yanlan, Veronia made a final check. Unlike Feng Yuan, Dou Yanlan hoped Veronia would increase the Crystal Corpse Beasts to three. Don’t underestimate merely adding two; given the Crystal Corpse Beasts’ own attributes, the combat difficulty doesn’t just increase slightly.

In terms of conversion, it might approach the combat power of a well-coordinated six-member squad.

Of course, this is a simple conversion and not strictly accurate, as the mere numbers differ.

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan curiously observed Dou Yanlan in the field. Was she confident in handling so many enemies, or did she plan to test something?

"Ready... begin!"

Originally, there was no countdown, but considering Dou Yanlan’s choice of challenging enemies, Veronia reminded her before controlling the Crystal Corpse Beasts to act.

Dou Yanlan was already prepared. The instant the Crystal Corpse Beasts acted, she issued commands to Cotton, adding three different vulnerability attributes to each of the three Crystal Corpse Beasts. Feng Yuan paused briefly before quickly realizing Dou Yanlan’s intention.

"Truly ambitious, but... attempting it presents a substantial challenge."

At this moment, Feng Yuan understood why Dou Yanlan requested Veronia to summon three Crystal Corpse Beasts; it was her personal limit. If partnered with Qi Chen, Feng Yuan had no doubt she would have asked Veronia to summon six beasts.

The reasoning is simple: Xing Bo’s auxiliary state effect is determined based on the target’s vulnerability attribute. Three different vulnerability attributes mean Xing Bo can release three completely distinct auxiliary augmentations.

Not even mentioning Cotton’s group debuff state; should there be six beasts, the number would be even larger. However, the increase from three to six wouldn’t be so exaggerated. After all, regardless of augmentation or debuff, even if types differ, the scope of change isn’t significant. More copious similar state overlays only result in 1+1 being less than 2.

"Such state enhancements, tsk tsk."

At this moment, witnessing Cotton’s battle, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but comment. The current scenario clearly demonstrates how varied states have amassed excessive augmentations, rendering Cotton unable to precisely manage her power.

This is already the case for Cotton, who originally had substantial control power; if it were Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan speculated that the individual might just be casting ultimate moves arbitrarily, unable to control their ultimate’s impact zone.

Perhaps noticing Feng Yuan internally criticizing her, Xiao Ji turned suspiciously towards Feng Yuan, eventually shifting her gaze back to combatting Cotton.

She was contemplating whether she could achieve similar augmentation, but evidently, it wasn’t feasible.

Even for Divine Beasts, rare are those capable of augmenting themselves to near-loss of control; it’s not unachievable, but simply meaningless—unmanageable power holds no utility for them.

"This enhancement possibly surpasses Elite Level, reaching Rare Level."

Unsure of what to say, Meng Binglan mumbled a line. She was astonished by Cotton’s Qi Realm ultimate’s effect, especially considering it was only her involved.

To know, Xing Bo’s ultimate is akin to a zone effect; thus, if vulnerabilities are plentiful, Xing Bo can lavish the squad with extravagant state amplification.

"Nearly uncontrollable power, essentially a last-ditch effort."

With a strange expression, Feng Yuan shared his view on Xing Bo; such outrageous amplification typically eludes control by ordinary Spirit Beasts.

Except for a final desperate attempt, few Beastmasters would engage in combat under uncontrollable power, as it undermines clear recognition of friend or foe; executions affect everyone, especially with area ultimates, inadvertently striking allies isn’t uncommon.

"Surprisingly, the highlight of Yanlan’s squad is Xing Bo."

Qi Chen murmured softly. Initially, everyone presumed Cotton would be the main force under the Qi Realm Stance in Dou Yanlan’s squad; now it appeared Xing Bo was indeed the squad’s main force.
