114: Chapter 114 Assassination of Jiang Yun?!

The shock and cheering within the Beast Fighting Arena had yet to subside.

When Jiang Yun appeared at the edge of the battle stage alongside the Principal, Coach Wang, Coach Lin, and others,

the waves of sound that had just begun to recede

were instantly pushed to a new climax!

“Look! It's the Principal and the coaches! Senior Jiang Yun is actually standing with them!”

“My god, is this the treatment for a peerless Genius?!”

“So badass! This is the most Legendary Genius since the founding of our Qingquan No. 1 Middle School!”

“Walking side-by-side with the Principal and coaches, what an honor!”

Countless gazes converged on that group of people.

Especially on Jiang Yun, who stood beside the Principal with a calm expression.

He didn't intentionally try to show off anything,

but his presence itself

had already become a unique sight,

symbolizing an invisible recognition of strength and status.

The impact this scene had on all the students was far stronger than any lecture.

It also etched the name Jiang Yun deeper into everyone's hearts, bringing a sense of shared pride, excitement, and adoration.

Jiang Yunyun saw her brother and the teachers approaching.

She immediately ran over like a happy little bird, tilting her small face up, her eyes sparkling with starlight as she sought praise: “Brother! Little Blacky and I are amazing, right! We won in one move!”

Jiang Yun looked at his sister's face, which was flushed red with excitement.

His eyes were full of gratification.

He nodded.

He praised her without stint: “Mm, very amazing! Brother is proud of you.”

Receiving her brother's affirmation,

the smile on Jiang Yunyun's face grew even more radiant,

as if she possessed the entire world.

At that moment,

the Principal took a step forward.

Facing the entire venue, his voice was gentle yet carried an unquestionable authority that spread throughout the battle arena.

“I announce that Jiang Yunyun, a Core Student of the Rookie Class, has successfully passed the Advanced Class assessment! From this day forward, she officially becomes a Core Student of our school's Advanced Class!”

As his voice fell,

Coach Li, who was already prepared, stepped forward and solemnly pinned a Silver Badge of Honor—engraved with the Qingquan pattern and symbolizing her status as a student of the Qingquan No. 1 Middle School Advanced Class—onto Jiang Yunyun's chest.

The badge shimmered brilliantly under the lights,

reflecting Jiang Yunyun's excited and proud face.

“Whoosh—!”

The entire venue erupted once again into thunderous applause and cheers.

Everyone had witnessed the rise of a new star.

And she... was the sister of the Prodigy Genius Jiang Yun!

Standing in the crowd, Li Na and Zhang Qiang looked at the radiant Jiang Yunyun on stage and her brother beside her, who was like a stabilizing force; their hearts were filled with sincere joy and emotion.

However, a hint of loss also lingered in their hearts.

Their friends had already stepped onto a completely different, brilliant path.

Looking at the badge on his sister's chest

and the heartfelt, confident smile on her face,

the last bit of concern in Jiang Yun's heart quietly dissipated.

His sister's successful admission into the Advanced Class meant she would receive better resources and more comprehensive protection at school; with the Principal and several coaches looking after her, her safety and development were guaranteed.

This way,

when he went to the provincial capital, he could truly do so without any distractions.

The ceremony ended.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Jiang Yunyun returned to the Rookie Class with Li Na and Zhang Qiang, carrying her honor and excitement.

Jiang Yunyun would only officially report to the Advanced Class tomorrow.

Jiang Yun bid farewell to the Principal and the coaches.

“Principal, Coach Wang, Coach Lin, Coach Li, this student will take his leave now,”

Jiang Yun said respectfully.

The Principal smiled warmly and patted his shoulder firmly: “Go on, child. Qingquan No. 1 Middle School will always be your alma mater; you are welcome back anytime. The provincial capital is a vast world, but remember, this place will always be your roots and your support.”

“This student understands.”

Jiang Yun nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

After saying goodbye to several teachers,

Jiang Yun left the school alone.

Walking on the way home,

his mood was quite relaxed.

With a slight thought,

he checked the situation inside his Beast Taming Space.

He sensed the changes within the Beast Taming Space.

Little Fire's process of absorbing the Spirit Crystals seemed to be nearing its end.

Furthermore,

the speed of absorption this time

not only hadn't become longer,

but had actually become faster?

Could it be?

As Little Fire's strength increased,

its speed of absorbing Spirit Crystals would also increase?

Jiang Yun was somewhat puzzled.

At that moment,

an obscure and powerful energy fluctuation brewed around Little Fire as the last bit of Spiritual Qi was refined.

“Is it about to be completed?”

Jiang Yun felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace,

wanting to get home as soon as possible to carefully examine Little Fire's changes.

After all, the Fire Dragon Fish had already reached the Silver Rank Ninth Stage Bottleneck.

It could Breakthrough to Gold Rank at any time!

To take a shortcut,

he turned into a relatively secluded park path leading towards home.

The park was shaded by green trees, and pedestrians were scarce in the evening,

making it exceptionally quiet.

However,

just as he reached the center of the park,

at a small square surrounded by tall trees where the line of sight was relatively obstructed, his footsteps suddenly halted.

From the shadows of the trees in front, behind, and to the sides, five figures walked out silently.

These people were all dressed in black night-suits without any markings, and their faces were covered by pure black masks that hid their entire countenances, leaving only a pair of cold, heartless eyes.

They moved soundlessly and coordinated perfectly, like well-trained assassins, instantly blocking all of Jiang Yun's possible routes of advance or retreat; an extremely dense and undisguised killing intent flooded the area like a cold tide.

The leader had a tall and straight build,

and his eyes were like ten-thousand-year-old ice.

He didn't waste any words, speaking directly in a raspy voice.

“Kid! I didn't know where to strike at you! I didn't expect you to walk into a dead end yourself! It seems your death today is destined by fate!”

Seeing the several people who suddenly appeared

and hearing what the leader said,

Jiang Yun's pupils constricted.

His figure paused.

He carefully sized up the group.

These people were all wearing masks,

and their clothing was a uniform black outfit.

No identity information could be seen.

Clearly, they were intentionally hiding their identities.

And it seemed they were here to kill him... Could they be people from the Corpse Cult?

He quietly activated his Innate Talent Skill.

The information of these people was laid bare without a doubt.

Aside from that secretive and cruel cult organization with which he had a blood feud, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would be so calculating as to send such a formation to kill him.

However, upon activating the Innate Talent Skill Entry Manifestation, he discovered

that all five people were Silver-rank Beast Tamers!

Their controlled beasts were not dead Vicious Beasts,

but living Vicious Beasts!

Moreover, they all possessed Silver Rank strength!

The weakest was Silver Rank Second Stage!

The leader was even a Silver Rank Sixth Stage existence!

It was very clear!

They were not members of the Corpse Cult!

They were five Silver-rank Beast Tamers!

“Who are you?”

Jiang Yun immediately asked in a deep voice.

The Beast Taming Power within his body secretly circulated to its Peak.

His Divine Sense observed Little Fire's state,

communicating with Little Fire,

ready to summon his beast at any time.

“The people who will kill you!”

Another man in black coldly interjected.

There was no emotional fluctuation in his tone,

only pure killing intent.

Kill me?

Jiang Yun's heart chilled.

They really were here to kill him!

And the opponent was so cautious,

even completely hiding their identities,

clearly intending to conceal their true origins.

“Cowards who hide their heads and show their tails!”

Jiang Yun shouted coldly,

trying to provoke them while his brain rapidly thought of a countermeasure.

He wanted to know the identities of these people who wanted to kill him.

The enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light!

This was an extremely dangerous situation.

However, the group did not intend to continue wasting time with Jiang Yun.

“Although this boy's Beast Taming Power is Bronze Rank Seven, his true combat power can insta-kill a Silver Rank! Let's strike together! End this quickly!”

The leading man in black didn't respond at all.

He directly gave the order, decisive and ruthless!

In an instant,

five powerful Silver Rank auras erupted like volcanoes, and five beasts of different forms, but all emitting a ferocious aura, were summoned simultaneously!

The violent energy instantly distorted the surrounding air.

Lethal attacks were about to descend like a violent storm!
