Chapter 279 Unfazed by Wind and Thunder! The Hidden Divine Phoenix Bloodline!

The moment the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon appeared.

The sharp pressure belonging to a Gold Rank Eight Peak vicious bird erupted like a peerless divine weapon being unsheathed!

It didn't intentionally release any skills; it merely hovered above Feng Qianyuan's head, its sharp cyan-gold eyes already locked onto Little Fire circling in the air.

Facing the Dragon Qi and Bloodline suppression naturally radiating from Little Fire—which had previously made the Sky-Swallowing Sun Moon Wolf tremble—this majestic vicious bird actually let out an even higher-pitched, Battle Intent-filled cry!

"Skree!!!"

Amidst the cry, the power of wind and thunder surged wildly!

With a slight flap of its wings, the tiny wind swirls surrounding its body suddenly expanded, turning into spiraling cyan air currents that made the entwined silver-white electric arcs appear even more dazzling!

A ferocious and arrogant Aura belonging to a sovereign of the sky, no weaker than Dragon Qi, acted like an invisible barrier, steadily blocking Little Fire's Bloodline pressure impact!

The two familiars.

One possessed the presence of a True Dragon, surrounded by water and fire.

The other was a majestic wind and thunder creature, its feathers clanging like metal.

Their Auras collided and clashed in the Void Realm, unexpectedly showing a state of equal rivalry!

The air was compressed by the two powerful pressures, emitting a low hum, and the gravel on the battle stage floor began to tremble slightly.

"Roar!!!"

Sensing the provocation, Battle Intent rose in Little Fire's dragon eyes, and it also let out an even deeper, fury-filled dragon roar!

The spiritual light of water and fire around its body surged; on its left, water ripples turned into phantom waves, while on its right, flames condensed into blooming fire lotuses. It released its Dragon Qi and Gold Rank Four spiritual power without reservation, attempting to suppress the opponent.

However.

The Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon merely tilted its head slightly, a trace of human-like disdain flashing in its cyan-gold eyes, and it suddenly spread its wings!

Boom!!!

An even stronger power of wind and thunder erupted.

It actually faintly pushed back Little Fire's enhanced pressure by a small margin!

Although it didn't gain an overwhelming advantage.

It had indeed steadily held its ground!

It was even slightly gaining the upper hand!

This scene!

Instantly made the entire audience boil with excitement!

"It blocked it! Senior Feng's familiar blocked that terrifying suppressive Aura!"

"More than just blocked! Look at that Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon; its Aura seems even superior?!"

"Too strong! As expected of a familiar ranked tenth on the earth ranking! Gold Rank Eight Peak is indeed incomparable to Chu Yunfei's trash wolf!"

"I told you! No matter how strong a True Dragon is, the gap in Realm is right there! Rank four against rank eight Peak—the winner of this pressure confrontation is clear at a glance!"

"Young Master Feng is mighty! The Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon is domineering!"

"Now this Sacred Student is in big trouble! One of his familiar's greatest advantages is that unique power suppression, but now it's ineffective against Feng Qianyuan's familiar!"

"Crushed in Realm, and the Bloodline advantage is negated... How can he fight this? It looks hopeless for him!"

Exclamations, praises, and voices mocking Jiang Yun rose one after another.

The Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's performance—showing no fear of Dragon Qi and even faintly counter-pressing—greatly boosted the confidence of those who already supported Feng Qianyuan or disliked Jiang Yun.

In their eyes.

The scales of victory in this battle.

Had already tilted heavily toward Feng Qianyuan.

In a corner on the edge.

Zhao Tiezhu and Lin Kuo's hearts also sank.

"Feng Qianyuan's familiar looks really powerful..."

Lin Kuo's face turned pale, his voice dry.

"What exactly is the Origin of this Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon? It's way too abnormal!"

Zhao Tiezhu's brows knitted into a knot.

His honest face was full of worry.

"This is bad... Jiang Yun's greatest reliance seems ineffective, and the opponent's Realm is so much higher... Will he..."

Even in several other areas on the stands where true geniuses gathered, those figures who had been calmly observing were now slightly moved.

The White-robed Woman's fingers paused slightly.

A hint of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.

"It can actually be completely unaffected by Dragon Qi? This Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's Bloodline... is probably not simple either."

The Sturdy Youth grinned.

"Interesting! It seems that kid Feng Qianyuan hasn't been slacking off these past six months; that bird of his seems to have improved again."

On the battle stage.

Jiang Yun was also slightly surprised.

"It's actually... almost unaffected by Bloodline suppression?"

His brows rose slightly.

He looked at the exceptionally majestic Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon.

Little Fire's Bloodline power talent was Rare grade, with extremely strong suppression against Vicious Beasts of the same or even slightly higher Realms. For the opponent to withstand it, there must be another reason besides the Realm gap.

"Could it be... that it also possesses some kind of high-level special Bloodline?"

Jiang Yun speculated in his heart.

With a thought.

His innate ability instantly focused on the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon that had just appeared with its Aura at its Peak.

Within his vision.

Detailed information data entries quickly emerged.

[Familiar]: Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon

[Attribute]: Wind/Thunder

[Realm]: Gold Rank Eight (Peak)

[Aptitude]: Eclipsing Moon Rank

[Innate Talent Skill]:

· Gale Afterimage (Excellent Grade): Greatly increases flight speed and flexibility, leaving afterimages to confuse opponents during short-distance sprints.

· Thunderclap Claw (Extraordinary Grade): Claw strikes carry highly compressed thunder power with extreme penetration; has a chance to cause brief paralysis upon hitting.

· Wind-Thunder Barrier (Extraordinary Grade): Instantly condenses wind and thunder power to form a defensive shield that can block energy and physical attacks, dealing wind-thunder reflect damage to close-range attackers.

· Hurricane Thunder Strike (Extraordinary Grade): Channels wind and thunder power for a carpet-bombing strike, releasing numerous wind blades and thunderballs for an area attack, combining speed and power.

· Wind-Thunder Void-Rending Flash (Epic Grade): Compresses the extreme speed of wind and the violent fury of thunder to the limit, turning into an almost uncatchable destructive flash for a surprise attack; power is concentrated at a single point, with terrifying penetration and destructive force.

· Nine Heavens Thunder Prison (Epic Grade · Domain Prototype): Initially channels the Law of wind and thunder to form a small Domain. Within the Domain, the activity of wind and thunder power is greatly increased; the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon gains extra bonuses to its own speed and attack, and it can condense wind-thunder chains to bind enemies while continuously raining down thunder punishment.

[Evolution Path]: Can undergo one Origin evolution... [Special Prompt]: This familiar contains a trace of extremely thin, unawakened Divine Phoenix Bloodline. Due to its very low concentration and dormant state, it currently only manifests as a strong resistance to high-level Bloodline pressure and grants it wind-thunder affinity and growth potential beyond its kind. If there is an Opportunity to awaken this Bloodline, its life level will undergo a qualitative change, with the hope of transforming into a true Wind-Thunder True Phoenix, influencing celestial phenomena with a flap of its wings, accompanied by wind and thunder.

"Eclipsing Moon Rank Aptitude... two Epic Grade skills, and one is actually a Domain prototype!"

"And... an ancient Divine Phoenix Bloodline?!"

Even with Jiang Yun's steady Heart-Nature.

When he saw this special prompt.

He couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart!

No wonder!

No wonder it could withstand Little Fire's Pseudo-Dragon Bloodline pressure!

The Divine Phoenix and True Dragon.

Are supreme Divine Beasts ranked together in myths and legends.

Their status is the same!

Even if the Divine Phoenix Bloodline in this Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon is so thin it's almost negligible and unawakened, this noble imprint originating from the essence of life is enough for it to produce a strong resistance to Dragon Qi of the same level!

Because its Realm is higher.

It could even slightly gain the upper hand in the pressure confrontation!

"I didn't expect Feng Qianyuan's familiar to have such Opportunity and potential!"

Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

Eclipsing Moon Rank Aptitude, possessing a Domain prototype while still at Gold Rank, and hiding a Divine Phoenix Bloodline... the future of this Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon is truly limitless!

If Feng Qianyuan knew and found a way to activate it, its achievements would likely be immeasurable.

"Unfortunately, he probably doesn't know yet."

Jiang Yun's gaze swept over the arrogant Feng Qianyuan opposite him.

The other party didn't have an innate talent for perceiving the Origin like he did; he likely only saw the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon as a Rare species with high Aptitude, never imagining what an amazing secret slept within its body.

At this moment.

Feng Qianyuan saw Jiang Yun staring at his familiar.

He remained silent for a long while, his face still carrying a hint of shock, which made the pride rising in Feng Qianyuan's heart—due to the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon withstanding the Dragon Qi—even stronger.

He naturally interpreted Jiang Yun's silence as being scared witless.

"What? Scared by my Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon?"

The corner of Feng Qianyuan's mouth curled into an undisguised sneer of superiority.

His voice carried a playful tone.

"Now you know what a true Genius familiar is? That thing you got from who-knows-where that looks like a dragon is nothing more than this in front of a true wind and thunder divine bird."

He paused intentionally.

Enjoying what he thought was Jiang Yun being speechless.

Then he spoke in a charitable tone.

"Fine. As the tenth on the earth ranking and a senior, I, Feng Qianyuan, shouldn't bully a newly promoted Heavenly Saint Student like you too much."

He mimicked Jiang Yun's previous tone.

But the arrogance in it was even stronger.

"Just now, you let that trash Chu Yunfei make the first move. This time..."

Feng Qianyuan stood with his hands behind his back.

His chin was slightly raised, his gaze disdainful:

"I'll let you make the first move."

Whoosh!!!

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Colosseum, which had just calmed down a bit.

Was once again like a lake surface into which a giant boulder had been thrown.

The sound waves exploded!

"What?! Young Master Feng is also letting him make the first move?!"

"Is this... returning the favor in kind? Or is he going to crush him even more arrogantly?!"

"Isn't that too risky! Jiang Yun is a Heavenly Saint Student after all, and everyone saw the power of that strike just now! What if he still has some hidden trump card..."

"So what if he has a hidden trump card? The Realm difference is so large, and I remember Young Master Feng's familiar, the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon, seems to have Domain-type skills! Young Master Feng has absolute confidence!"

"Exactly! Young Master Feng doesn't care about this Sacred Student at all! So what if he lets him go first? It's the perfect way to make him accept his defeat wholeheartedly!"

"Haha! Awesome! That's how it should be! Let this arrogant country bumpkin know that in the face of true strength, even letting him go first won't change anything!"

"Young Master Feng is domineering! Well done!"

There was a lot of discussion in the stands.

It quickly split into several factions.

Some felt Feng Qianyuan was being too overconfident; after all, Jiang Yun's previous performance was too shocking, and they worried he might fail unexpectedly.

But even more people were infected by Feng Qianyuan's even more arrogant posture, excitedly cheering and believing the outcome was no longer in doubt, only waiting to see how Jiang Yun would be crushed.

Zhao Tiezhu and Lin Kuo heard Feng Qianyuan's words.

Their faces looked even worse.

"Letting him go first..."

Lin Kuo spoke with a hint of bitterness.

"This Feng Qianyuan is even crazier than Jiang Yun! But he truly has the confidence for it!"

Zhao Tiezhu sighed heavily.

"It's over, it's really over this time. Even if Jiang Yun goes first, he probably won't be a match..."

On the field.

Hearing Feng Qianyuan's charitable and provocative offer to let him go first, Jiang Yun snapped back from his thoughts of checking the information.

The hint of an expression on his face that Feng Qianyuan had misinterpreted as shock quickly faded, and he regained his composure.

Only deep in his eyes.

A very subtle, almost helpless smile flickered.

Let him go first?

It seemed this Young Master from the Feng Family was truly lightheaded from his rank as tenth on the earth ranking and his Peak eighth-rank Realm. Or perhaps the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's performance in withstanding the Dragon Qi gave him excessive confidence, leading him to severely underestimate Little Fire's explosive power in the Dragons Wrath state and the... terror of the water-fire Fusion skill.

He even thought that was Little Fire's full combat power!

"Since the opponent is so polite and actively handed over the first-move advantage..."

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Yun's mind.

He instantly had a plan.

"Then if I don't take the Opportunity to give him a 'deluxe combo' and take him out directly, I'd be letting his kindness go to waste."

And so.

Under Feng Qianyuan's arrogant gaze and the noisy discussions of the crowd, Jiang Yun appropriately showed a hint of hesitation and solemnity on his face, as if he were truly intimidated by the opponent's Aura.

He took a deep breath.

In a slightly forced and polite tone.

"Senior Feng... is indeed extraordinary in character, truly admirable."

"Since Senior is like this... I accept."

Jiang Yun raised his head.

His gaze shifted to Little Fire in the air, whose Battle Intent was soaring.

His voice suddenly turned sharp.

"Then... I shall respectfully comply!"
