Chapter 2397 - 2398: Invitation
The dreamlike crystals are a modification by the lady in cheongsam, derived from scenic style. Although they transform the form of ultimate moves to resemble the landscape of Hot Springs Town, they are not entirely realistic.
Whether it’s a tangible ultimate move or a pure energy ultimate move, most ultimate moves turn into mirage-like illusions. Some energy ultimate moves, like Netherworld Wind, become so faint like smoke that their original forms are almost unrecognizable.
But because of this, the dreamlike style can adapt to more ultimate moves, making at least most common ultimate moves applicable; and visually, it isn’t too bad.
The level of detail certainly can’t compare to the scenic style, as that required a lot of effort by the lady in cheongsam to create. However, it’s much more earnest in its transformation compared to dessert and snack-style, as it changes significantly more.
"What do you think?"
After observing for a while, Feng Yuan felt it seemed pretty good. But ultimately, it was Xiao Ji and the others who would be using it, so Feng Yuan did not make a unilateral decision. He watched the projection for a long time, and Xiao Ji nodded in agreement. As for choosing another souvenir?
It felt like this item was pretty good too, as it was gifted by Feng Yuan. Moreover, it wasn’t a decoration that could only be admired at home. Xiao Ji had already decided to carry it along.
The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound didn’t care much about it. In its view, such flashy gadgets were all the same. Since it was a gift from Feng Yuan, it accepted it, without any expectations regarding its quality.
In the end, Feng Yuan bought two of each kind of dreamlike crystal. Although only one could be equipped at a time, to Feng Yuan, the item wasn’t too expensive, so instead of picking and choosing, he decided to buy them all to use gradually.
Of course, Feng Yuan believed that this was just an excuse; in reality, Xiao Ji would probably only use the dreamlike style.
Qi Chen and the others also purchased dreamlike crystals, but unlike Feng Yuan, they were short on funds, and they certainly couldn’t afford all the expensive dreamlike crystals.
"Seems like this souvenir isn’t too bad this time~"
After paying, Feng Yuan casually handed the dreamlike crystal to Xiao Ji, who excitedly melded with it. The young lady clapped her hands, thinking of something, and said
"By the way~ Want to test its effects? There’s a specialized practice field here in Hot Springs Town~"
"Practice field?"
Feng Yuan looked at her with curiosity, and the young lady nodded and said
"That’s right, we have a specialized battle practice field in Hot Springs Town, professionally designed to meet regional competition standards. How about it? Interested?"
"Although it’s not as good as the Data Domain, some things are only more accurate in actual combat, right?"
With a mysterious smile, the young lady said that combat training in the Data Domain was being progressively implemented. Although Maomu City and several other cities still did the best job currently, other cities were also advancing, and of course, Baiman City was preparing to open the combat training feature of the Data Domain.
In her view, this was good news, even though theoretically, this could concentrate Beastmasters more in the cities. However, their Hot Springs Town was indeed a place for relaxation.
Besides certain special groups, not many Beastmasters could afford to soak up daily in the battle training. Baiman City isn’t surrounded by many tourist and leisure sites unlike Maomu City, and Hot Springs Town is on the outskirts of Baiman City.
If people wanted to relax, Hot Springs Town would naturally be the first choice for Beastmasters from Baiman City. But, she felt that this was still not enough.
In her opinion, attracting more tourists from outside was truly a good thing for Hot Springs Town, even if those Beastmasters weren’t short on money.
Due to Feng Yuan, Maomu City was ahead in the Data Domain aspect. Although this affected several surrounding towns, it was not a bad thing.
Beastmasters from afar brought different viewpoints when fighting with local Beastmasters in Maomu City. These exchanges would also quickly enhance the practical strength of Maomu City’s Beastmasters.
Not to mention, besides the Data Domain, Maomu City also had Cha Mu Town Area aggressively attracting tourists, leading to a rapid rise in the city’s strength ranking.
Despite Baiman City not being particularly close to Maomu City, given their reasonable proximity, they were well aware of Maomu City’s changes and naturally felt envious.
Unfortunately, although this change was caused by Feng Yuan, it was formed by a series of coincidences. Even Feng Yuan wouldn’t dare claim other cities could replicate it, not to mention, many aspects of Maomu City merely benefited from a first-move advantage.
"Would such high-standard practice fields likely only be available for accommodation guests?"
Feng Yuan pondered while rubbing his chin. Of course, it might involve an extra fee, but to Feng Yuan, it didn’t matter. This level of practice field wasn’t even available in Maomu City.
After all, regional standards differ from other standards. Due to regional Beast Contests often escalating into Divine Beast battles, the actual high standard of regional Beast Contest venues far exceeded slightly lower national standards.
No choice, only regional standards can withstand Divine Beast level ultimate move attacks without significant damage.
Such fields were great for Feng Yuan because it meant Xiao Ji could freely use her ultimate moves. Even with Crimson Judgement, as long as the range was controlled, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
While the Divine Beast Technique is outrageous, it’s still within the venue’s standard tolerance range. Of course, the Divine Beast Technique that Veronia would unleash wouldn’t work.
Human technology could not create venues with such high defensive capabilities.
"Simply testing doesn’t seem great; how about we have a match?"
Feng Yuan looked at the young lady, and she wasn’t surprised. She stared at Feng Yuan for a while before making a decision.
"Sure, actually, I’m curious about how your peculiar Spirit Beast will perform."
Even though she couldn’t gauge Feng Yuan’s strength, instinct told her Feng Yuan was very strong, but winning? She hadn’t thought about it. For her, winning and losing weren’t that important. What mattered was combat experience, especially the experience against different opponents.
The Witch Baby’s peculiarity dictates its diverse combat styles. Unlike Xiao Ji, who uses just a few ultimate moves to dominate, this versatility demands diverse opponents. Facing the same foe, no matter how fancy, wouldn’t compare to challenging different opponents.
The practice field was well concealed or, to avoid affecting Hot Springs Town’s ambiance, it was deliberately hidden from the start. Even the path to the entrance was a discreet narrow road.
However, although referred to as a narrow path, apart from the alleys being smaller, overall it was very clean and tidy, even having lantern lighting along the way.
Because the buildings in Hot Springs Town are mostly not very tall, the entire practice field was designed as a sunken structure. Most of it was beneath ground level, but under the lighting, it didn’t seem dark.
Though the practice field was open to all guests staying in Hot Springs Town, those who visited mainly sought relaxation, and no one intended to venture there for a battle. Hence, when Feng Yuan and the others arrived, the practice field was desolate, with only management staff cleaning the venue.
"Hmm, you only have one Witch Baby; since that’s the case, let’s send Xiao Ji to fight. Right, Xiao Ji, don’t recklessly unleash strong ultimate moves. Also, try to see if the Crystal Stone Domain will disrupt the effect of the peculiar crystal."
Feng Yuan doesn’t plan to command personally, so he directly instructed Xiao Ji on how to act. He trusts Xiao Ji to understand.
The young lady looked at Feng Yuan in bewilderment. Was he not intending to command? Although his Beast was stronger than her Witch Baby, should he really do this? Was that eagle-like Spirit Beast really absurdly strong?
Qi Chen and the others didn’t find Feng Yuan’s approach problematic. The Witch Baby was only at the initial Good Level strength, and although it was in the same strength range as Xiao Ji, they were well aware Xiao Ji could even defeat Elite Level Beasts, let alone the initial Good Level Witch Baby.
Having Xiao Ji fight it, especially with the Crystal Stone Domain active, was practically bullying a child.
Though the young lady didn’t quite grasp the extent of Xiao Ji’s exaggerated strength, based on Qi Chen and the others’ reactions, she could infer a bit. Nevertheless, even with this knowledge, she was not afraid!
