Chapter 2373 - 2374: Discussion
Under Feng Yuan’s persuasion, Xiao Ji ultimately gave up experimenting with the newly grasped ultimate move immediately. Dou Yanlan looked at Xiao Ji with some confusion; it’s already surprising that the Fury Flame Tiger has a Domain Awakening, but as for Xiao Ji...
Not to mention, Xiao Ji has a Domain Awakening in the Crystal Domain, probably has a Domain Battlefield as well, and now adds the shelter of the Breath of the Netherworld. Together with Xiao Ji’s own fierce offensive abilities, Dou Yanlan feels something is not quite right.
It’s not that she begrudges others’ success, but the abilities Xiao Ji is showing have already exceeded the normal scope of Spirit Beasts.
Although there are many doubts in her mind, Dou Yanlan did not speak them out loud. This matter involves Feng Yuan’s privacy. At least, Dou Yanlan can be sure that there’s definitely something unusual about Xiao Ji, but she can’t understand what exactly.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she might have thought it was a joke, after all, who would have such an all-powerful Spirit Beast.
Dou Yanlan didn’t think about Divine Beasts because she wasn’t aware that Divine Beasts are nearly omnipotent. Purely because other than the Divine Beasts Feng Yuan had forged, the initial strength rank of all other Divine Beasts wouldn’t be lower than Legendary Level, let alone Xiao Ji, who was personally bred by Feng Yuan.
No one would have guessed that Feng Yuan could elevate an Ordinary Spirit Beast to a Divine Beast, naturally they wouldn’t think that Xiao Ji is a very special juvenile Divine Beast.
Thinking of Ah Mu’s special power, Dou Yanlan just assumed it was some special power Feng Yuan had given to Xiao Ji.
"Hmm, should we first go for some snacks or find a hot spring pool to soak in? By the way, Xiao Ji, you should be fine, right? If not, wait for us on the shore?"
Looking at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan recalled Xiao Ji’s situation and asked. Regarding the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, it’s definitely not going into the water. Hot Springs Town is quite different from Red Tribe. Although it’s a place rich in fire attribute ores, in terms of elemental fire concentration, it’s far less than Red Tribe.
No choice, Xiao Ji’s elemental energy comes from Yognot, and in this respect, it totally cannot compare. However, regarding the ambiance, Feng Yuan feels this side seems better, at least everyone here appears quite leisurely.
"You can roam freely within the Hot Springs Town wearing a bathrobe. Want to change clothes?"
Qi Chen looked surprised at the travel map in his hand, saying that Hot Springs Town has more than one hot spring pool; the whole town adopts a boarding and dining service charge model. If it’s just soaking in the hot springs, there’s no extra entry fee.
Of course, some upscale hotels or inns might have their exclusive hot spring pools, which is a special service not covered by the general free range.
Just need to complete the check-in registration, and tourists can freely experience most of the hot spring pools in Hot Springs Town. Of course, corresponding to this, there are also many optional paid services.
Those services are not mandatory; they can marginally enhance the experience, but not having them is also fine.
For Feng Yuan, who’s not short on money, these services are worth considering. Certainly, what first caught Feng Yuan’s eye was the service of enjoying special hot spring food while soaking in the hot springs.
Besides this, arrangements for the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and Xiao Ji also require Feng Yuan’s consideration. Can’t have them having fun while the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound stays lonely watching them play.
"Hmm, that’s fine, but I don’t have a bathrobe; will check out the front desk later."
After considering, Feng Yuan agreed with Qi Chen’s suggestion, mainly because there are many hot spring pools in Hot Springs Town. If they do not want to nest in a particular hot spring pool, they will inevitably move between different pools.
Those hot spring pools are not all in one place, that’s why Hot Springs Town has this policy, after all, what it emphasizes is the ambiance and tourism experience.
Unfortunate for Feng Yuan, he originally did not have those large bathrobes, after all, he doesn’t usually visit such places, so naturally, he wouldn’t buy such items.
Even though he’s financially well off, Feng Yuan isn’t one to buy things purely for the sake of it, except for travel souvenirs.
"Seems like they need to be seriously considered."
Upon receiving the supplementary materials on Domain Awakening that Feng Yuan sent during his spare time, Liao Yu immediately made a judgment after reading them, yet this was just his own thought, and specific actions still depended on higher-ups.
Huo Feng indeed knows about this information, but he’s not too thrilled, as it means they need to give special attention to another type of Spirit Beast.
"Wonder if Feng Yuan and the others in Baiman City might encounter some messy surprises."
Recalling something, Liao Yu couldn’t resist joking, to which Ye Hanlei glanced at him disapprovingly.
"Parallel World intruders are not yet thoroughly dealt with, I certainly don’t hope for more surprises."
"Ah... haha, that’s true."
Scratching his head, Liao Yu felt embarrassed; the matter of parallel world intruders is clearly a big trouble, especially since the appearance of Gladys from the different time indicates that those called the Imperial Timeline by Divine Beasts are plotting to invade their own timeline.
As for the War Timeline...
Though there is no concrete evidence yet, they all believe that the bunch is indeed eyeing this place, after all, that side is in incessant turmoil, certainly won’t mind another battlefield.
"It’s a tough war, if he could help..."
Beside him, Huo Feng suddenly spoke, Ye Hanlei glanced at him and said
"Since when do you guys also look forward to miracles from civilians?"
"Because, I have no confidence in this war, blind confidence only leads to destruction."
Shaking his head slightly, Huo Feng responded without care, if he had any confidence in this, why would he expect Feng Yuan to bring about a miracle? Non-dependence is their principle, yet when faced with the most important goal, why not make an exception?
"Do they think the same? Hope they can be sensible, don’t provoke him, or angering him won’t benefit us, plus, Divine Beasts are our unique advantage."
"Just, the unique Beast Tamer techniques of the Imperial Timeline... sigh."
Sighing, Ye Hanlei didn’t worry too much about the impending invasion; after all, there’re tall people to support it when the sky falls, the Special Duty Team wouldn’t necessarily rush to the frontline first.
Until all the frontline troops are annihilated, the Special Duty Team only takes responsibility for the security and order maintenance of the city.
Because of this, Ye Hanlei pays more attention to the Imperial Timeline’s Beast Tamer techniques. Might these techniques cause another shift in the Beastmaster battles now?
With the emergence of the Crystal Domain, Beastmaster battles have become somewhat confusing. If the Imperial Timeline’s techniques are further integrated, Ye Hanlei feels the Beastmaster competitions might become potentially dangerous.
Perhaps, this could lead to arguments among Beastmasters escalating into serious incidents, thus seriously increasing pressure on their Special Duty Team.
"Those techniques are quite impressive, although we have the embryonic form of it, it’s not as direct as theirs."
Liao Yu didn’t grasp Ye Hanlei’s concerns, instead spoke somewhat yearningly, after all, contrary to commanding beasts against foes, he too once dreamed of being like those powerful Beastmasters who fought frontlines single-handedly against villains.
However, the existing Taming Beast Contract doesn’t allow them to do so; it’s not impossible, but rather they find it difficult to fully borrow Beastmaster’s powers through the contract.
And, how to utilize the borrowed power requires long-term training to adapt, rather than a mere borrowing that’s completed.
The Imperial Timeline’s techniques are somewhat special; they can nearly wholly borrow all Beastmaster powers, meanwhile borrowing Beastmaster’s ultimate moves, thus not requiring extensive training to play those borrowed powers creatively.
This is something the main timeline’s Taming Beast Contract totally lacks.
"May not necessarily suit us, Crystal Domain doesn’t empower Beastmasters."
Huo Feng suddenly spoke, though the Imperial Timeline possesses a Crystal Domain, its empowerment towards this combat method is uniquely different.
Except for altering ultimate move forms, not all ultimate moves can benefit from Crystal Domain’s empowering improvements.
As for the reason, they don’t know, and the research institute hasn’t conducted studies on it, as it isn’t a pressing matter for them.
Even if the reasons were known, then what?
The main timeline lacks their special Taming Beast Contract; without cause, it holds no influence over Beastmasters of the main timeline, thus they won’t likely leverage this to counter opponents.
"That’s true, but having this flaw isn’t incomprehensible."
Scratching his head, Liao Yu remarked that without the flaw of almost no empowerment from Crystal Domain, their Beastmaster’s strength would be somewhat exaggerated, as very few Spirit Beasts can freely change their attributes, you see.
