149: Chapter 149 is truly a Gold-tier First Rank! It caused a sensation within the main family!

Chapter 149: Truly Gold First Tier! A Sensation in the Main Family!

Su San's duck-like voice questioned, "Is he just bragging?!"

It was like a drop of water falling into a pan of boiling oil.

In an instant, the deathly silent square erupted into a frenzy.

"That's right! Talk is cheap; just because he says so doesn't make it true!"

"Exactly! I could say the Genius of our branch is Amethyst First Tier! Anyone can brag!"

"A sixteen years old Gold First Tier? Hahaha, this boast is too far-fetched! In a place like C City, it's hard to say if the Spiritual Qi is even enough to support a Gold Rank, let alone at sixteen? You're dreaming!"

The discussions of the crowd surged forward like a tide.

They were filled with disdain, skepticism, and the intent to watch a joke unfold.

The atmosphere that had just been intimidated by the words 'Gold First Tier'...

...was instantly pulled back into the deep-seated prejudice against C City.

Hearing this, the several stewards...

...also cooled down a bit from their initial extreme shock.

They looked at each other...

...and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Steward Li cleared his throat.

He took a step forward.

Although his tone was much more polite than before...

...it still carried an official sense of caution.

"Elder Su, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that... a sixteen years old Gold Rank Beast Tamer is a matter of great importance. In the nearly hundred-year history of our S Provincial Capital, such a thing has never occurred. If it were true, the word 'Genius' would no longer be enough to describe it; it would be a complete... Prodigy! For such a person, let alone becoming a matrilocal son-in-law, even if he just wanted to establish a good relationship with our Su Family, we would need to prepare generous gifts and consider it carefully. Are you certain... there's no mistake?"

The meaning in his words couldn't be clearer.

It's not that we don't believe you.

It's that this is too ridiculous!

Such a Prodigy...

...how could he possibly look favorably upon your C City Su Family?

And even be willing to become a matrilocal son-in-law?

It simply makes no sense logically!

A sixteen years old Gold Rank Beast Tamer.

Such a Heaven-Defying Beastmaster Talent.

This kind of Genius, let alone in a godforsaken place like C City!

Even in the history of their provincial capital...

...it had never appeared before!

If such a Prodigy appeared...

...wouldn't they cause all the top powers in the provincial capital to scramble to recruit and win them over?

They all thought it was very unrealistic.

They felt that Elder Su was most likely just bragging.

Elder Su was so angry at these people's stubborn prejudice that his beard curled up.

He laughed out of extreme anger.

"Fine! You don't believe me! Today, this old man will let you frogs at the bottom of the well open your eyes!"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Yun,

his eyes filled with trust and encouragement.

"Grandson-in-law! Let them see whether the grandson-in-law of my C City Su Family is a Dragon or a worm!"

At this moment.

Everyone's gaze...

...was like countless spotlights...

...firmly focused on Jiang Yun.

In those gazes, there was the undisguised disdain of Su San and others, along with the malice of waiting to see the ultimate joke.

There was the pure curiosity and disbelief of the various branch disciples.

There was also the skepticism of the several stewards...

...which also contained a complex emotion of faint, slim hope.

Jiang Yun felt these countless gazes.

He sighed softly in his heart.

Elder Su had already spoken so boldly.

It was no longer possible for him to keep a low profile.

Besides, he hadn't planned on being low-key when he came to the provincial capital.

Since the die was cast...

...there was no need to hide anymore!

Thinking of this...

...his heart instead became clear and open.

Sooner or later, he would stir up storms in this provincial capital.

Then let it begin with this Su Family!

Under everyone's questioning...

...or expectant...

...or mocking gazes...

...there wasn't a trace of anger on Jiang Yun's face.

Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly...

...forming a calm yet somewhat unrestrained arc.

He had no unnecessary words.

He didn't even look at those buffoons.

He just calmly raised his right hand.

With his fingers slightly spread, facing the open space in front of him...

...he gave a soft call.

"Little Fire, come out."

BOOM—!!!

Three simple words...

...yet they seemed to contain a Supreme command!

As his voice fell...

...a majestic aura of intertwined heat and moisture...

...erupted like a dormant volcano suddenly bursting forth...

...or like a silent ocean eye suddenly surging back.

With Jiang Yun as the center...

...it violently swept across the entire square!

The scorching heat distorted the air...

...while the moist water vapor brought a pressure like that of the deep sea!

A pillar of light, woven of red and blue, soared into the sky.

The light dissipated...

...and a magnificent, extraordinary giant beast floated proudly in the air, ten meters above the ground!

Its form was slender and elegant...

...covered in scales as crimson as fire...

...yet the edge of every scale flowed with a luster as blue as water ripples.

Dragon head and Dragon body...

...its form was no different from a True Dragon.

It radiated the majesty of a True Dragon.

Its four Dragon claws stepped on the void...

...surrounded by leaping water-flames and flowing fire-streams!

Those molten-gold pupils looked down indifferently.

A majestic pressure belonging to a Gold-rank Spirit Beast...

...mixed with the overbearing elemental power of combined water and fire...

...crashed down like a literal tsunami!

Thump! Thump!

Under this sudden, terrifying pressure...

...more than half of the Bronze Rank disciples on the square...

...felt their legs go weak...

...and they slumped directly onto the ground...

...their faces turning pale!

They even found it difficult to breathe!

The Silver Rank disciples, though barely managing to stand firm, were also trembling all over, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the giant beast in the sky!

"Go... Gold Rank! It really is the aura of a Gold Rank!"

"My god! This pressure... is even more terrifying than the Gold-rank Spirit Beasts of our Elders!"

"Dual water and fire attributes! And they coexist so harmoniously! What... what species is this? What kind of Aptitude?!"

Exclamations and the sound of people sucking in cold air rose one after another; everyone was completely intimidated by the undeniable Gold Rank aura emanating from this magnificent Spirit Beast!

"No! This isn't ordinary Gold Rank pressure!"

Steward Li was, after all, well-experienced.

Feeling the purity and dominance within that aura, which far surpassed others of the same tier, his voice became sharp with excitement.

"The degree of refinement in this aura, the deterrence of the Bloodline... the Aptitude of this Spirit Beast definitely exceeds the Gold Rank! I'm afraid... I'm afraid its Aptitude is even above the Amethyst Rank!!"

"Diamond Aptitude?!"

These two words were like a second thunderclap...

...exploding in everyone's minds once again!

A sixteen years old Gold Rank Beast Tamer...

...plus a life-bound Spirit Beast with Brick Stone Rank Aptitude!

The combination of these two...

...represented not just a Genius...

...but the Supreme potential to step onto the peak of the world...

...and the certainty of becoming a major power in the future!

Elder Su looked at this shocking scene before him...

...and listened to the genuine exclamations around him...

...and felt he could finally hold his head high.

In over a hundred and forty years, he had never felt so refreshed!

He straightened his back.

His voice was loud and resonant...

...filled with incomparable pride and glory...

...as it echoed across the square.

"Now! Who else doubts this old man's words?!"

"Who else dares to say my C City Su Family has no one?!"

"My grandson-in-law, Jiang Yun! sixteen years old, Gold First Tier Beast Tamer! Which branch still dares to say this old man is bragging?"

As he spoke...

...his gaze fiercely swept toward the insidious villain, Su San.

Every one of his words...

...was like a loud slap...

...striking the faces of Su San and the others.

Su San's face was now ashen.

His lips trembled...

...and he could no longer say a single word.

The several Qinyang City disciples beside him, who had mocked the most vigorously earlier, now wished they could bury their heads in the ground; their faces burned as if they were being repeatedly slapped by invisible hands.

Those who had followed the jeering earlier...

...now lowered their heads in shame.

Their hearts were filled with regret and fear.

They had actually mocked a Prodigy with Heaven-Defying potential as a country bumpkin?

This was simply the stupidest... most ridiculous thing they had ever done in their lives!

If such a Prodigy was a country bumpkin... then what were they?

City bumpkins?

The crowd at the scene was already too shocked to speak.

They had not expected...

...that the matrilocal son-in-law from the C City Su Family branch...

...really was a sixteen years old Gold First Tier Beast Tamer!

However...

...the commotion caused...

...by Little Fire's appearance...

...was far from over!

This powerful and unique energy fluctuation, which contained the intent of water and fire combined...

...as well as the presence of that special aura on Little Fire...

...was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The ripples spread rapidly...

...and the hidden Dragon might and deep-sea pressure at its core even startled those sensitive big figures deep within the Su Family estate...
