18: Chapter 18 The terrifying pressure of a Gold-level Beast Tamer!

"Gold First Tier..."

Jiang Yun marveled internally. This was his first close encounter with a Gold Rank Beast, and he could already sense its power just from the entry information.

"Alright, everyone, summon your Beasts now and get ready."

Coach Lin's voice rang out again.

The students immediately sprang into action, and streaks of light burst forth one after another:

"Come out, Windwing Bird!"

A boy in a green training uniform summoned a cyan bird with a two-meter wingspan. Its wings glowed with a faint wind element Aura. It was a wind-attribute Beast of Black Iron First Tier.

"Ice Crystal Rabbit, it's your turn to shine!"

A girl summoned a pure white rabbit. The tips of its ears had light blue ice crystals, and tiny ice traces were left when its paws touched the ground. It was an ice-attribute Beast of Black Iron First Tier.

"Rock Armored Beast, come out!"

Another burly boy summoned a gray giant beast over one meter tall, covered in rock-like armor, appearing extremely defensive. It was an earth-attribute Beast of Black Iron Second Tier... Beasts of different species appeared one after another.

Jiang Yunyun also summoned her Beast.

Little Blacky!

Xiao Ling once again summoned his Magic Claw Wolf.

He must have used some method, as the burn on the Magic Claw Wolf's chest had faded considerably. Although its Aura was still somewhat weak, it could at least stand up.

But when the Magic Claw Wolf saw the Fire Dragon Fish floating beside Jiang Yun, its originally fierce eyes instantly filled with terror. It abruptly recoiled, hiding behind Xiao Ling, its fur standing on end, and a low whimper emanating from its throat. Clearly, it had been traumatized by the Fire Dragon Fish's flames.

"Useless trash!"

Xiao Ling was both angry and anxious, kicking the Magic Claw Wolf hard, but the Magic Claw Wolf only cowered tighter, refusing to come out from behind him.

The surrounding students couldn't help but chuckle at this scene, and Xiao Ling's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Alright, everyone and your Beasts, get ready for battle."

Coach Lin's voice interrupted the small interlude in the arena. His gaze sharpened as he solemnly addressed the Earth Profound Turtle: "Release your Aura, control the intensity, don't hurt them."

The Earth Profound Turtle slowly raised its head, letting out a low growl from its throat.

The next second, a terrifying pressure spread out from its body like a tide.

It was the unique Aura of a Gold Rank Beast, carrying a natural suppression over lower-tier Beasts, heavy and vast, like an invisible mountain pressing down hard on all the students and their Beasts.

"Thud!"

The first student couldn't help but fall to his knees. His Beast, the Windwing Bird, plunged directly from the air, trembling on the ground, unable even to flap its wings.

Immediately after, more students began to falter. Some knelt on one knee, others lay directly on the ground, their faces flushed red, foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Yun also felt that terrifying pressure, as if an invisible large hand was pressing on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Although the Fire Dragon Fish beside him didn't fall, the fiery clouds around it dimmed considerably, and its fins trembled slightly, clearly enduring immense pressure.

"This is the power of a Gold Rank Beast..."

Jiang Yun marveled internally. He had previously thought his Black Iron Third Tier Fire Dragon Fish was strong enough, but under the Aura pressure of a Gold Rank Beast, it had no room to resist.

This gap in Realm was more despair-inducing than a gap in Aptitude.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Gold Rank had such terrifying pressure, what kind of powerful existences would the higher Amethyst Rank and Diamond Rank be?

Jiang Yun immediately thought of the Principal, who possessed Amethyst Rank strength. How terrifying must his Beast be?

"Has everyone felt it?"

Coach Lin's voice came through the pressure, with a hint of seriousness: "Today's training is very simple: pressure resistance."

He paused, then continued, "The battle of a Beast Tamer is not only a competition of Beast combat power but also a contest of will. If you and your Beasts can withstand this pressure and reach within two meters of the Earth Profound Turtle, I will consider your class complete for today, and you can rest."

"Otherwise, you'll have to endure this pressure for a whole day."

Saying this, Coach Lin sat down on the Earth Profound Turtle's back.

He pulled out a small table from who knows where, and leisurely began to drink tea... As his words fell, the students lying on the ground looked at each other, seeing a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes, but more so, an unyielding stubbornness.

As his words fell, the students lying on the ground looked at each other, seeing a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes, but more so, an unyielding stubbornness.

One student gritted his teeth, propping himself up with his hands, trying to stand: "Isn't it just pressure resistance? I refuse to believe I can't do it!"

Following his lead, other students also began to try.

Some slowly stood up by holding onto nearby railings, others crawled forward little by little on the ground, their Beasts, spurred by their masters' Aura, also trembled as they took steps.

However, they didn't move much before collapsing back to the ground.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and softly said to the Fire Dragon Fish beside him, "Let's give it a try too."

The Fire Dragon Fish seemed to understand his words, and the fiery clouds around it brightened a bit once more.

Perhaps it was due to the Fire Dragon Fish.

Jiang Yun seemed to feel the pressure on his body lighten slightly.

The two also moved forward with difficulty, just a tiny bit.

However, after only a moment.

Jiang Yun's knees began to tremble slightly under this powerful pressure.

Every centimeter he moved forward felt like pushing a thousand-pound boulder.

The Earth Profound Turtle's Aura pressure was like a materialized current, pressing firmly on his shoulders, making even breathing feel heavy and sluggish.

The Fire Dragon Fish beside him was also not having an easy time; the fiery clouds around it flickered between bright and dim, and its tail fin slapped the ground, each swing appearing exceptionally strenuous.

"This definitely can't just be about brute force..."

A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Yun's mind.

Since Coach Lin was a mentor for Core Students, it was impossible for him to simply make them endure pressure.

This kind of training seemed useless, apart from being abused.

There must be a deeper purpose to this training.

And now.

As a Beast Tamer, the only power he seemed able to rely on was his own Beast and the Beast Taming Power within him.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Yun tried to mobilize the Beast Taming Power within him, releasing a faint wisp of energy from his body.

The moment the Beast Taming Power left his body, the terrifying pressure on him actually lessened by a fraction... Although it was an insignificant change, it was enough to prove his guess was correct.

Jiang Yun's heart rejoiced, and he immediately increased the output of his Beast Taming Power, but as soon as he mobilized 30% of it, he felt a tightness in his chest... With his current Beast Tamer Rank, he seemed unable to sustain a large consumption of Beast Taming Power for long.

"That's right, the connection between a Beast Tamer and their Beast..."

Just as Jiang Yun was troubled.

He suddenly remembered the basic theoretical knowledge of Beast Tamers he had learned before.

Now, this theoretical knowledge seemed applicable in actual combat...
