“Don’t worry, I won’t have any problems.”

“Actually, you’re not one of those people who have to fight, so why are you so fixated on that power?

With your talent, being a researcher would suit you much better than being a Beastmaster, wouldn’t it?”

“Ji!”

Looking at the puzzled Orlina, Feng Yuan smiled and shook his head as he said

“I know my own business, and the Power of Death is harmless to me.

As for why I want to be a Beastmaster?

Because being a researcher is too boring~”

Orlina looked into Feng Yuan’s eyes and, realizing he wasn’t lying, said somewhat helplessly,

“Alright, maybe you’re a special case.

I can guess that from the fact you use Death Judgment without any side effects.

But it probably can’t resist the erosion of the Power of Death, can it?

For its own good, you should find a way to drive out the Power of Death from its body.”

“Ji!”

“If you’re clinging to that power because you can’t let go of its combat strength, then I’d have to say I misjudged you.

If the guy who once tried everything to save a Spirit Beast Egg on the brink of death turns out to be a jerk who doesn’t care about the life or death of his own Spirit Beast for the sake of combat power, then you’re not welcome here!”

As Orlina’s expression gradually turned icy, Feng Yuan smiled, shook his head, and poked the embarrassed Xiao Ji as he said,

“It’s its choice; it doesn’t want to give up that power.”

“Ji!”

“But…”

Looking at Xiao Ji’s resolute gaze, Orlina sighed, walked back to her desk, sat down, and with one hand supporting her head, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

“Have you thought about its future path then?”

“As long as Xiao Ji doesn’t blindly learn moves from the Death Series, those Death forces shouldn’t cause it any erosion or harm.”

“…Ji”

“As for the future, I plan to have Xiao Ji undergo a special evolution, jumping to the Death Series evolutionary path.

That way, Xiao Ji won’t need to worry about eroding from the Power of Death.”

Orlina sat up straight, looked at Feng Yuan seriously, and said coldly,

“Special evolution?

Aside from whether it can withstand it, have you considered that there’s a possibility of death if it fails?”

“Ji?!”

Xiao Ji turned, stared at Feng Yuan, first shook its head, and then firmly nodded.

Feng Yuan rubbed Xiao Ji’s head and said with a smile,

“We’ll see.

After all, Xiao Ji can’t let go of the Power of Death.

The ideal situation, of course, is to have a special evolution and jump to the Death Series evolutionary path.

If that’s not possible, a normal evolution isn’t totally out of the question.

As for death…

Xiao Ji is actually quite special.

Even if the special evolution fails, it won’t die; it will just be weak for a while.

Of course, the cost of this special capacity is that Xiao Ji’s evolutionary difficulty will be three times higher than that of other Spirit Beasts.”

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan patiently explained.

Orlina, looking puzzled at Feng Yuan, heard the bell for class and saw Feng Yuan, who had regained some strength, placing Xiao Ji on his head and saying,

“I need to go back to class now~”

“Hey!”

Watching Feng Yuan leave immediately after speaking, Orlina, now amused, said to herself while looking at the door,

“Failure won’t lead to death?

You’re both very special~”

“Why did you take so long?

Is Xiao Ji okay?”

“Ji~”

“It’s mostly okay now.”

Feng Yuan took Xiao Ji off his head and placed it on the desk.

Seeing that Xiao Ji seemed more spirited than before, Qi Chen also felt relieved and looked at Feng Yuan with a smile as he said,

“Guess what Teacher Chu said during the class assignment review?”

Feng Yuan glanced at the excited Qi Chen and then at Pei Yu, who was proudly whispering something to others, and said with some understanding,

“Our group’s assignment got praised, right?”

“How did you know!”

“You’ve all written it on your faces, you tell me?”

Feng Yuan looked disdainfully at Qi Chen, who was lying on the desk, and said,

“Let me rest for a bit, don’t disturb me.”

“Can’t you wait until the lunch break to sleep?”

“I have a match this afternoon; I need to save up my energy now.”

“An in-school competition, huh?

I miss those.”

“Are you also a graduate of our school?”

Feng Yuan glanced at Hong Zhi holding Najia, and Hong Zhi, scratching his head with embarrassment, said

“No, I went to high school at First High.”

“Oh, from First High?

If I let them know about your identity, do you think they’d beat you up?”

“Gina?!”

Feng Yuan said with a smirk to Hong Zhi, while Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan in disbelief and said

“Are you looking for trouble?

Don’t you have classes today?

We’re quite far from your school, aren’t we?”

“Gina~”

“I don’t have classes in the afternoon, so I came to check on Najia.”

“Don’t you plan on taking it back?”

Looking down at Najia in his arms, Hong Zhi said in a low voice with a fallen face,

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to take good care of it…”

Feng Yuan looked at Najia, who didn’t know how to comfort Hong Zhi, shook his head, picked up Xiao Ji, and walked toward the battleground.

Chen Xin and Pei Yu had been waiting there for a while, and when they saw Feng Yuan approaching slowly, Chen Xin yelled out with dissatisfaction,

“Feng Yuan!

What are you doing?

Hurry up!”

“Oh.”

“Hey!

Don’t pull!”

Seeing Feng Yuan replied listlessly without quickening his pace, Chen Xin, somewhat impatient, rushed to Feng Yuan’s side, grabbed his hand, and dragged him next to Pei Yu.

Xiao Ji, sitting on Feng Yuan’s head, listened intently to Chen Xin explaining the tactics, nodding occasionally, the tuft of hair on its head swaying with each nod, and now and then poking its head out to make sure Feng Yuan was listening carefully.

After several times seeing Xiao Ji’s tuft of hair flick past, Feng Yuan impatiently pushed back Xiao Ji’s poking head.

“Ji!”

After explaining the tactics, Chen Xin led the two onto the battleground.

“I never would have thought that he has such a good relationship with his Spirit Beast…”

“Gina?”

In the stands, Hong Zhi, watching Xiao Ji’s attempts to protect Feng Yuan, couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.

Najia tilted its head to look at Hong Zhi.

Qi Chen, puzzled by the fight on stage, said in confusion,

“How do you know that?

Did you investigate him?”

“Anyone whose Spirit Beast actively protects them has a good relationship with their Spirit Beast, not like some others who only react when they give a command.”

“Eh?

Are there such people?”

Qi Chen curiously watched the fight, his right hand absent-mindedly playing with Ah Mu on his leg,

“Doo~”

“There have always been people who believe only in force.

Haven’t you ever seen it?”

Dou Yanlan, expressionless, watched the battle while speaking in a monotone voice.

Qi Chen scratched his head, smiled brightly, and said,

“I’ve only heard of it, but everyone around me treats their Spirit Beast very well.

Those kinds of people should be rare, right?

Who…

who upset you?”

Dou Yanlan glanced at Qi Chen, straightened Cotton’s fur indifferently, and said,

“I’m used to it.”

“There have always been a lot of people who only care about fighting strength, at least in our academy; for them, Spirit Beasts are just tools.

And those are just ordinary people.

As for experimental subjects like him…”

Hong Zhi, hesitatingly speaking, didn’t notice Najia in his arms seemed to remember something unpleasant upon hearing his words, curling up and clutching its knees.

After a moment’s hesitation, Hong Zhi said,

“At least from what I know, those who escaped from the G Organization, most of them have poor relationships with their Spirit Beasts; the rest even hate Spirit Beasts and have not made contracts with them.

I’ve never seen a case like his; it’s probably a rare exception.”

“Is that so?

I think he seems quite fond of Spirit Beasts.”

“Eh?

What’s wrong with Najia?”

As Qi Chen spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Hong Zhi, then noticed the curled-up Najia, and asked curiously, prompting Hong Zhi to quickly try to comfort Najia.

“Xiao Ji, don’t stand in front of me…”

Seeing Xiao Ji run in front of him again and disperse the opponent’s Magic Leaf Blade with its Spark move, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly.

Xiao Ji turned around to glance at Feng Yuan then shifted its position, trying to mount an attack.

Observing Xiao Ji and Feng Yuan teaming up and charging, with Yue Bai and Duomeng harassing on the side, the opponent inwardly cursed, rallying all the Spirit Beasts in an attempt to block the combined assault of Xiao Ji and Feng Yuan.
