After meeting with Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan realized that not only Qi Chen, but even Dou Yanlan hadn't decided which Spirit Beasts to add to their team. The options were too many, coupled with the double impact of the Qi Realm Stance and the Crystal Domain, making their original mainstream lineup somewhat outdated.
Moreover, their original plan was to go with the flow and contract the beasts they felt a connection with, so they weren't particularly concerned about the strength aspect.
But that was in the past. Now, they have to pursue maximum strength, driven by the desire to protect family and a growing ambition.
Qi Chen and the others aren't Saints; previously, it was because they were aware of their limitations and knew they couldn't compare their talent with those geniuses. But now... although both sides progressed rapidly, the gap hasn't narrowed, yet their expectations have far exceeded what they initially hoped for.
