Chapter 2676 - 2677: Warning

Neither the pure Desert’s Power nor the Power of Nature alone can break through Black Sun’s defense. Even a simple combination of the two is insufficient. However, due to the chain reaction, the converged forces possess much greater power than the simple addition of the two.

As expected, Black Sun’s defenses were breached, and Xiao Ji was knocked out of the Black Sun state by the energy torrent. However, this does not mean that the other party has won. The Black Sun was just a conventional method. With its state disrupted in combat, the next moment, Xiao Ji ignited with orange-red flames.

The flames coalesced, forming a new spherical shield. The repelled Xiao Ji suddenly radiated a dazzling brilliance like a newborn Great Sun. In the next moment, Xiao Ji steadied its form, flapped its wings, and flew back into mid-air. As the altitude changed, the red sun gradually transformed into a white sun. Seeing the white sun resembling a second sun, Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment and shouted to Veronia.

"Help protect everyone!"

In the instant that the white sun fully appeared, the surrounding temperature rose suddenly, and a wave of energy impact rapidly spread from the white sun in all directions. That energy impact carried the terrifying intention to purify, burn, and destroy everything.

A transparent thin film barrier rose around Feng Yuan and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound. While it seemed as fragile as glass, it stubbornly blocked the continuous energy impact.

Conversely, Shen Zhongqian’s Beast Tamer and Child of Starlight did not receive this treatment. Although Veronia timely intervened, even she found the terrifying counterattack during the Great Sun state somewhat excessive.

The destructive power was so feared that if Veronia’s reflexive use of conventional combat strength was replaced with a casual effort, the continuous energy impact would have shattered the defense.

Under this wave of energy impact, even with Veronia’s protection, Shen Zhongqian’s Beast Tamer unsurprisingly lost its ability to fight, and even the Child of Starlight couldn’t escape.

Although a tribe leader, the Child of Starlight’s strength was indeed not impressive enough, especially when facing the Great Sun form. Feng Yuan wasn’t underestimating them; it’s just that Xiao Ji’s Great Sun form couldn’t last long before exhausting and falling to the ground completely.

At this moment, Xiao Ji folded its wings, looking exhausted, standing on the ground as specks of starlight manifested around it and infused into its body.

Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised that after the Great Sun form, it would transition to a quick recovery mode. After all, the Great Sun is truly a special form of fully releasing the strongest power. Without it, Xiao Ji couldn’t have unleashed such a terrifying attack.

If there wasn’t a quick recovery mode, Xiao Ji would completely lose its ability to fight after the Great Sun. Although Feng Yuan suspected this, he felt it was unlikely.

Even the Child of Starlight possesses the ability to enter a recovery phase after high consumption. Qi Realm Stance Defense logically shouldn’t be one-time use. Especially since this is a defensive stance, if it were an attack stance, it would be different, as a desperate blow is not uncommon for attacks.

With defense, this type of method is rarely seen as, by definition, the defender focuses on protecting teammates rather than pondering how to drag enemies down together.

"Looks like it needs a rest to continue."

Watching the Spirit Beast completely lose its ability to fight, Feng Yuan chuckled, admitting that he hadn’t expected Shen Zhongqian to force Xiao Ji’s hand. Even now, in the recovery state, Xiao Ji seems to have a significant flaw in battle capability.

But don’t forget that the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound is also there; sharing a defensive stance, it is fully capable of securing time for Xiao Ji’s recovery. Once rejuvenated, it’s another round of Black Sun hanging in the sky. This seems to be Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s coordination?

"Didn’t expect to be defeated so thoroughly."

Shen Zhongqian smiled helplessly, initially thinking she could battle fiercely with Feng Yuan’s Xiao Ji for a long time, but unexpectedly, moving Xiao Ji into the second phase caused them to be wiped out directly.

Of course, she also noticed the terror and consumption of Xiao Ji’s strike. If she could withstand the Great Sun’s attack, winning afterward wouldn’t be hard since Xiao Ji would be unable to fight for a considerable period following the Great Sun.

Unfortunately, stopping the Great Sun’s attack isn’t easy, and no matter how one thinks, there seems to be no response available.

The frustration quickly dissipated. Looking towards the Child of Starlight, Shen Zhongqian encouraged herself in her heart. Despite not achieving the best, the addition of the Child of Starlight indeed brought notable changes to her team.

If it weren’t for the Child of Starlight, she couldn’t execute the previous attack that broke Black Sun. After all, the Mud Snail couldn’t grasp the Barrenstone Demon Flower. Despite both being Earth Attribute moves, it doesn’t imply the Mud Snail can learn it.

Similarly, she has other combinations she wants to attempt. If they all succeed, she should definitely cultivate a Child of Starlight!

Making a silent decision, Shen Zhongqian hurried to check the injuries of the Spirit Beasts. There was no choice; although Veronia intervened, she didn’t entirely block Xiao Ji’s attack, as doing so would excessively disrupt the fairness of the battle.

Of course, due to Veronia’s intervention, the Spirit Beasts’ injuries weren’t heavy. With some treatment and rest, they’ll recover quickly.

Watching Shen Zhongqian run to the awakened Child of Starlight, whispering and planning something, Feng Yuan smiled, clearly seeing Shen Zhongqian’s intentions to enlist the Child of Starlight for new ideas. If those ideas succeed, Feng Yuan might have indeed helped her find a promising path.

There’s no qualitative change as the Beast Tamer’s talent remains, but the adaptability notably improves. Even if the combat process isn’t flexible enough, with sufficient combat techniques, others might not be able to effectively target her.

"Rested well? Though I don’t mind, it’s best to be cautious when you act, as Xiao Ji can’t control its counterattack strength."

As time passed, Shen Zhongqian’s Beast Tamer finally recovered. Upon hearing her request to challenge Xiao Ji again, Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying that even though Xiao Ji is in the Qi Realm Stance Defense, it lacks aggression, but the strength gap is evident. Dealing with Xiao Ji in Black Sun state is understandable.

After all, in this state, Xiao Ji’s counterattack isn’t absurd. Yet, if it’s pushed into Great Sun form, it’s different. At least Feng Yuan can assert that the counterattack wasn’t directly related to Xiao Ji or was triggered spontaneously.

Even with Veronia’s assistance, it’s a risky affair. If Veronia misjudged the counterattack’s force without adequate precautions, Shen Zhongqian’s Beast Tamer might require emergency care now.

No choice, the counterattack power during White Sun form is indeed exaggerated, and the strength gap exacerbates the damage White Sun causes.

For Veronia, even without defense, she wouldn’t be heavily injured by White Sun, as Xiao Ji’s strength is significantly weaker in comparison. Moreover, Qi Chen’s Ah Mu could withstand White Sun directly.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhongqian’s Beast Tamer doesn’t possess that strength, forcing Feng Yuan to remind her, lest she provokes the White Sun again.

"I understand."

Nodding slightly, Shen Zhongqian comprehended Feng Yuan’s intention. She merely seeks to verify whether her ideas are correct rather than carry competitive ambitions.

No motive other than to practice, the Child of Starlight is simply here to assist, not her Spirit Beast. Even in the future, Shen Zhongqian must gradually cultivate a Child of Starlight for consistent results as seen now.

Leveraging someone else’s power for victory is meaningless to her.

For that reason alone, she only wishes to practice, to prove her thoughts, and to assess whether the team Feng Yuan recommended is suitable for her. Although just a prototype, it’s already sufficient.

Others can’t fully prepare the path for her, let alone the surprise brought by the Child of Starlight, enabling her a glimpse of the road she wants to tread in the future.

"I won’t say much more. But be careful yourself; this is not a battlefield, so protection for Beastmasters might not be as thorough."

After a moment of silence, Feng Yuan refrained from continuing to warn. Indeed, given Xiao Ji’s capabilities, significant injury seemed improbable. If something unexpected arises, there’s no choice, right?

Black Sun reappeared in the sky, and Feng Yuan was curious about Shen Zhongqian’s approach this time, confident she wouldn’t utilize old chains. With the Child of Starlight’s uniqueness, what new chain would she employ?
