137: Chapter 137 Is this the combat power a first-tier Gold Saint should have?!

Within the Water-Fire Dragon Domain.

Jiang Yun's thoughts were perfectly synchronized with Little Fire.

He could clearly feel the absolute control granted by the Domain, as well as the terrifying power surging and roaring within Little Fire, eager to be unleashed.

He did not choose to probe.

Facing a Gold Ninth Tier expert renowned for defense.

The best way to test.

Was to go all out!

"Little Fire, Dragon's Wrath!"

The moment Jiang Yun issued the command.

Little Fire, at the core of the Domain, let out an ear-splitting roar!

The patterns on its crimson-gold scales suddenly lit up.

Like red-hot branding irons.

Its body seemed to expand another size.

That already astonishing dragon might, mixed with an aura of fury.

Surged once more like a volcanic eruption!

"Not enough! Dragon Flame Burst Kill! Full power!"

Under the epic-level amplification of [Dragon's Wrath].

Under the Dominator enhancement of the [Water-Fire Dragon Domain].

In front of Little Fire's open draconic maw.

Space itself began to distort and collapse!

An energy core of indescribable terror rapidly condensed. It was no longer a simple fireball, but resembled a miniature star about to detonate.

Compressed within it was the destructive power of water and fire Laws!

Golden-red light and deep blue water vapor wildly intertwined and spun within!

"What... what is that?!"

"My Soul Power is trembling! This skill hasn't even been unleashed yet and it already has such momentum?"

"Too terrifying! We're standing so far away, yet our skin feels stinging!"

"Is this really a skill a Gold Rank can unleash? Can the Training Ground's barrier withstand it?"

The Su Family disciples' faces turned pale.

They instinctively retreated.

Even through the energy barrier.

The destructive fluctuations that leaked out made their hearts race with fear.

The shock on Su Chengtian's face had turned into gravity.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.

"This power... is infinitely close to the threshold of the Amethyst Rank! This kid, does he want to tear down my Training Ground?!"

Even Su Qingxue, who had seemed detached from the matter, had a flash of genuine surprise in her beautiful eyes.

She looked at the core condensing with terrifying energy and whispered softly.

"Water and fire complementing each other, dragon might as the catalyst... such power indeed exceeds the scope of ordinary Gold Rank."

As for Elder Su at the eye of the storm.

His feelings at this moment could no longer be described as mere shock!

The moment that destructive energy core condensed.

All the hairs on his body stood on end!

Where was this kid trying to spar!

This damn thing was trying to take his old life!

A shadow of death, like icy seawater!

Instantly engulfed him!

He felt like an insignificant leaf boat in a storm, about to be torn apart at any moment!

"How is this possible?! This power... this power..."

He screamed inwardly.

All his contempt and composure had long been crushed to dust.

Leaving only boundless fear and regret!

If he had known this kid was this monstrous.

He would never have stepped forward even if beaten to death!

"Rock Armor! Immovable as a Mountain! Earth Barrier! Mystic Turtle Protection! All defenses, activate! Activate! Activate!!!"

Elder Su almost roared the command.

Pouring his Soul Power unreservedly into the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle.

The Rock Armor Dragon Turtle let out a muffled, fearful roar.

Its limbs dug firmly into the ground.

Earthen-yellow light erupted from its thick carapace with unprecedented brightness. Layer upon layer of rock illusions condensed before it, forming one sturdy barrier after another, trying to withstand the impending destructive impact.

"Full defense! Elder Su is being forced into full defense?!"

"How terrifying is this strike?!"

Everyone held their breath.

Their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the arena.

Jiang Yun's eyes sharpened.

His finger slashed forward fiercely!

"Go!"

BOOM——!!!

That compressed miniature star transformed into a golden-blue dual-colored destructive beam that pierced heaven and earth.

Wherever it passed.

Space within the Domain wailed, magma evaporated.

Water realms were torn apart.

Carrying a terrifying momentum to crush everything.

It brazenly blasted into the multiple defenses constructed by the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle!

No stalemate!

No resistance!

Under everyone's stunned gazes.

The layered barriers, laid with full effort by a Gold Ninth Tier tamed beast and sufficient to withstand any attack below Amethyst Rank, melted, shattered, and disintegrated at a visible speed before that destructive beam, like ice under sunlight!

CRACK! BOOM——!

The sounds of shattering and explosions were incessant!

First barrier, shattered!

Second barrier, shattered!

Third... shattered!

The destructive beam advanced irresistibly.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

It destroyed all the outer defenses.

And slammed fiercely into the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle's own thick carapace, which shimmered with extreme yellow light.

"ROAR——!"

The Rock Armor Dragon Turtle let out a cry of pain and fear.

Its carapace, hailed as absolute defense.

Now actually showed fine cracks.

And the cracks were rapidly spreading!

Its massive body was pushed backward by that irresistible force, plowing through the ground and leaving two deep trenches!

Elder Su's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

A surge of blood rushed to his throat, which he forcibly swallowed.

He was Soul-linked with his tamed beast.

He could clearly feel the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle's pain and the defenses on the verge of collapse!

"Damn it!"

His heart turned icy cold.

His eyes filled with despair.

If this strike landed fully.

His Rock Armor Dragon Turtle would be severely injured if not killed.

Its Foundation damaged!

Jiang Yun also hadn't anticipated at all.

Under the dual enhancements of the Domain and Dragon's Wrath.

The power of Dragon Flame Burst Kill would be so terrifying!

This was practically hand-crafting a nuclear bomb!

He wanted to pull back.

But the skill was already unleashed... like an arrow shot from a bow, impossible to retrieve!

Everyone's eyes widened.

Tension! Exclamations! Oh no!

As if already seeing the tragic scene of Elder Su and his tamed beast bleeding on the spot.

At this critical moment.

"SCREECH——!"

An eagle cry that could pierce metal and jade resounded through the sky!

Su Chengtian, who had long been prepared, acted decisively!

A huge azure figure instantly appeared above the Training Ground—his Amethyst Rank tamed beast.

The Wind Spirit Divine Eagle!

The Wind Spirit Divine Eagle violently flapped its wings.

Countless wind blades, refined to the extreme and gleaming with cold light, materialized out of thin air, instantly forming a terrifying wind blade storm that connected heaven and earth. Like a roaring wind dragon, it arrived later but struck first, accurately colliding with the destructive beam about to completely destroy the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle!

Wind Blade Storm!

A Transcendent Rank skill!

BOOM BOOM BOOM——!!!

The intervention of an Amethyst Rank skill.

Triggered an even more violent explosion!

Golden, blue, red, and azure energies rampaged, clashed, and annihilated each other!

The entire Training Ground shook violently.

The energy barrier emitted a piercing wail.

Its light flickered unsteadily.

As if about to shatter at any moment!

Theviolent energy shockwaves spread outward like a tsunami. Even with the barrier blocking, the watching Su Family disciples were knocked about by the terrifying commotion, their ears ringing.

After a long time, the light and dust slowly dispersed.

Everyone looked at the arena with lingering fear.

They saw the Rock Armor Dragon Turtle collapsed on the ground, its carapace covered in web-like cracks, its aura feeble—clearly seriously injured.

Elder Su staggered to stand nearby, his face pale, a trace of blood still at the corner of his mouth. His gaze at Jiang Yun was filled with lingering fear and disbelief.

And that destructive beam.

Had been completely neutralized by the Wind Spirit Divine Eagle's skill.

"Fam... Family Head..."

Elder Su's voice was hoarse, carrying immense shame.

He, a dignified Gold Ninth Tier, a senior Elder of the Su Family, had been beaten by a Junior who had just advanced to Gold First Tier to the point where he needed the Family Head to intervene to save his life!

Su Chengtian recalled the Wind Spirit Divine Eagle and landed back on the ground. Looking at the devastated Training Ground and the injured Rock Armor Dragon Turtle, his face showed not blame but instead was filled with amazement.

He waved his hand.

Interrupting Elder Su's words.

His gaze burned as he looked at Jiang Yun, who was slowly descending from the air.

"It's not your fault, Elder Su."

He took a deep breath.

His tone carrying immense gravity and admiration.

"It's this kid's tamed beast... its combat power is just too terrifying, far beyond reason! The power of that strike just now had already reached the threshold of the Amethyst Rank! If I hadn't personally intervened, an ordinary Amethyst Rank tamed beast carelessly taking it head-on would likely be severely injured if not killed!"

He looked at Jiang Yun with a complex gaze.

His heart surging with waves.

He realized.

A true, infinitely potential True Dragon.

Had already risen in C City, and its momentum was unstoppable!

Jiang Yun retracted the aura around him.

Little Fire also transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Beast Taming Space.

He quickly walked up to Elder Su, his face showing sincere apology.

"Elder Su, this Junior momentarily failed to fully control the power, struck too heavily, nearly causing a disaster. I beg your forgiveness."

Elder Su looked at this humble and polite youth before him.

Yet possessing world-destroying power.

His heart was a mix of emotions.

Finally turning into a long sigh, he said with a bitter smile, "Young Friend Jiang Yun, you exaggerate. It is this old man... whose skills are inferior, who has been a frog in a well. Young Friend's combat power is unparalleled among Gold Rank. This old man... is utterly convinced."

After this battle.

He now completely believed.

That Jiang Yun's feat of defeating Qin Long was absolutely true without any falsehood!

He even felt.

If it were a life-and-death struggle... he likely wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

And would be instantly killed!

Su Chengtian stepped forward.

Heavily patting Jiang Yun's shoulder.

His eyes full of admiration.

"Good kid! You really gave your Uncle a huge surprise! With your strength, even in the provincial capital, you can look down on your peers! No! You probably have no pressure looking down on the Geniuses of the previous generation!"

He then turned.

Facing the surrounding Su Family young disciples who were still in shock and daze.

Said in a loud voice, "Did you all see? This is a true Genius! This is the height that can be reached by combining effort and talent! You should take Jiang Yun as an example, diligently and attentively cultivate your tamed beasts, and never slack off!"

The Su Family disciples looked at each other.

Their faces showing bitter smiles.

Take Jiang Yun as an example?

A Gold First Tier instantly defeating a Gold Ninth Tier Elder?

Family Head!

This... this is really something that can be learned?

This is simply a monster!

The commotion slowly subsided.

Several people left the Training Ground.

Su Chengtian grew even closer to Jiang Yun.

"Jiang Yun, in three days, Xue'er will set off. These three days, why don't you stay at the Su Family? So you can get more familiar with Xue'er. Or, bring your mother and sister to live at the Su Family. After all, we'll be family in the future, haha! On the road after departure, with Elder Su guiding and protecting, it will be more secure."

Elder Su, standing nearby.

His face grew even more bitter.

He couldn't help but speak up, "Family Head... with Young Friend Jiang Yun's current combat power, below Amethyst Rank, probably no one can threaten him. This matter of protection... this old man is truly ashamed. It should be Young Friend Jiang Yun protecting us..."

Su Chengtian was first stunned.

Then also chuckled wryly, shaking his head.

Indeed, with the terrifying strength Jiang Yun just displayed, who protects whom is really hard to say.

His gaze at Jiang Yun grew even more fond and appreciative.

Jiang Yun, however, quickly found an excuse to politely decline.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. It's just that my mother is used to quiet. A sudden change in environment might be uncomfortable. And this Junior still has some trivial matters at home to handle. Three days from now, early in the morning, this Junior will definitely come on time to meet up."

Seeing he had his own arrangements.

Su Chengtian didn't insist, nodding in agreement.

Jiang Yun bowed again.

Then bid farewell and left the Su Family.

Returning to his familiar home.

Jiang Yun sat down.

And began to review today's gains.

The battle with Elder Su.

Though brief.

Gave him a crystal-clear understanding of Little Fire's combat power after advancing to Gold Rank.

The enhancement from the Domain skill [Water-Fire Dragon Domain] far exceeded his expectations, almost giving Little Fire the capital to run rampant within Gold Rank.

Combined with Dragon's Wrath and Dragon Flame Burst Kill.

Its explosive power already threatened the Amethyst Rank!

"Although strength improves quickly, the consumption of resources is also astronomical..."

Jiang Yun's consciousness sank into the Beast Taming Space.

Looking at Little Fire sleeping in the Spirit Liquid Lake, water and fire energies naturally circulating around it, constantly absorbing Spirit Stone power, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

He noticed.

Since advancing to Gold Rank.

Little Fire's absorption speed of Spirit Stones had increased significantly, and it was no longer in that deep, unawakenable sleep state. This was good news.

In the future, if trouble arose.

Little Fire could also be on standby immediately.

But correspondingly.

That massive amount of Spirit Stones was visibly decreasing.

"Must quickly find a stable and abundant source of resources. The provincial capital, must go as soon as possible! But how to quickly obtain resources or Spirit Stones and spirit crystals in the provincial capital?"

Jiang Yun's sense of urgency grew stronger.

At this moment.

He thought of Liu Mei.

The merchant association behind the Beast Taming Mall seemed to have dealings with the Provincial Level.

"Perhaps... a way can be found through her."

Jiang Yun's eyes flickered.

A preliminary plan formed in his heart.

Before heading to the provincial capital.

Perhaps he could go to Liu Mei to understand the basic situation at the Provincial Level.
