Chapter 280 Small fire! Give him a big one!

Hearing Jiang Yun's tone, which carried a hint of reluctance and gravity...

...and his even slightly weak-showing "it's better to obey than to be polite."

The arrogance on Feng Qianyuan's Face grew even thicker.

The sense of superiority in his heart, which had swelled because of the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's performance, was almost overflowing.

In his view.

Jiang Yun's posture was clearly intimidated by his fame as the tenth on the earth ranking and the powerful performance of his spirit beast; he knew he was no match but had to bite the bullet and accept the challenge, with his Aura even weakening by thirty percent.

"Heh! What? Does the Sacred Student know how to be polite and humble now?"

"Too late!"

Feng Qianyuan sneered.

On the surface, he still maintained that high-and-mighty senior posture, as if he were instructing an unworthy junior.

He deliberately raised his voice.

Ensuring the entire arena could hear clearly.

"Jiang Yun, it's good that you can recognize the gap and have some self-awareness. However, on the stage, skills have no eyes, and the struggle between spirit beasts is even more dangerous."

He paused.

His eyes swept across the area in the sky where the air currents were turbulent, agitated by Little Fire's Dragon Might and his own Wind-Thunder power.

His tone carried a sort of charitable cruelty.

"Seeing as we are both students of the academy and you are being sensible, when we start, Young Master Feng will instruct the Startling Wind Falcon to try and leave your spirit beast with its life. After all..."

A mean curve hooked at the corner of Feng Qianyuan's mouth.

"Trash should have the awareness and appearance of trash. Barely being able to breathe and lingering on the edge of death is the final mercy for your title of Heavenly Saint Student."

These words.

Could be described as sharp and mean to the extreme!

Not only did he label Jiang Yun as trash.

But even his Little Fire, who had just shown amazing combat power...

...was also sentenced to a stay of execution, only fit to linger on the edge of death.

This had already exceeded ordinary provocation.

It was a double trampling of both personality and strength!

On the stands.

A chorus of agreement and cheering immediately rang out.

"Well said, Young Master Feng! Trash should look like trash!"

"Hahaha, leave it with its life? Young Master Feng is truly too merciful!"

"Now this bumpkin should completely recognize reality, right? In front of Young Master Feng, what does his little bit of skill count for? And yet he was so arrogant!"

"Hurry up and admit defeat! Don't bring humiliation upon yourself!"

Many people were infected by Feng Qianyuan's superior arrogance and his posture of a strong man's mercy.

They began to clamor excitedly.

As if they had already seen the ending of Jiang Yun's crushing defeat and his spirit beast's heavy injury.

Zhao Tiezhu and Lin Kuo's Faces turned green with anger.

Their fists were tightly clenched, yet they were powerless to refute.

They could only stare fixedly at the field, feeling stifled in their hearts.

They also came from C City.

After entering Sky Dome Academy, they had been bullied and marginalized by these students from the provincial capital.

Hearing these people's remarks.

It made them think of the humiliation of these past days... but they lacked the strength.

They could only swallow their anger.

At this moment, how they hoped Jiang Yun could defeat this Feng Qianyuan and vent their grievances.

Meanwhile.

Those true Geniuses.

Still maintained their silent observation.

Although Feng Qianyuan's words were unpleasant.

They were more concerned with Jiang Yun's upcoming response.

Would he give in now?

Or... did he really have a trump card?

Inside the field.

Facing Feng Qianyuan's merciless humiliation.

The deliberate gravity on Jiang Yun's Face slowly faded, and his eyes became calm and rippleless again, as if the vicious words spewed by the opponent were not poison, but just an inconsequential breeze.

He didn't even move an eyebrow.

He just slightly raised his head.

Looking at Little Fire in the sky, who was ready to strike.

He said in a flat tone, as if stating what he was having for dinner tonight.

"Since Senior Feng is so magnanimous and let us strike first, we can't fail to give Senior Feng Face."

"After all, Senior is right to teach; on the stage, one should indeed be serious."

His words sounded like he was following Feng Qianyuan's lead, even with a bit of being "taught," but that overly calm tone faintly revealed a hint of strangeness.

Feng Qianyuan's brow furrowed slightly.

A strange feeling inexplicably flashed through his heart.

But it was quickly suppressed by his conceit.

In his view.

Jiang Yun was merely putting on a brave front.

Just pretending to be calm.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you're going to strike, do it quickly! Young Master Feng doesn't have time to dawdle with you here! When your strike is over, it will be time for Young Master Feng to crush you to death!"

Feng Qianyuan urged impatiently.

At the same time, he transmitted a thought through the contract to the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon to stay calm, wait for him to move first, and then break him with thunderous momentum.

Jiang Yun no longer spoke.

His eyes suddenly narrowed, and his intent was transmitted like lightning!

"Little Fire!"

His voice was clear and resonant.

Piercing straight through the clouds.

"Fire Domain Cage!"

"Roar!!!"

Little Fire, who had long been unable to hold back its Battle Intent.

Let out a dragon roar full of power!

The golden-red flames that were already burning fiercely on the right side of its body suddenly boiled as if receiving some kind of summons!

Crash!

It wasn't a flame spray, but a condensation!

The ultimate condensation!

Countless streaks of red-gold fire rose from the right side of Little Fire's body, but they didn't spread out to burn; instead, they rapidly twisted, intertwined, and compressed in the air!

In the blink of an eye, they actually transformed into over a hundred Red Fire Chains, as thick as an adult's arm and composed entirely of materialized pure fire energy!

These chains were not disorganized; they were inscribed with fine Fire Runes, and the links were interconnected, producing a clanging sound like metal friction, yet burning with a heart-palpitating high temperature!

They were like living fire pythons, drawing scorching trails in the air, ignoring the distance of dozens of meters, and wrapping around the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon hovering above Feng Qianyuan's head as fast as lightning!

The target was clear!

Restraint! Imprisonment!

"Hmm?!"

A flash of surprise passed through the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's blue-gold eyes; clearly, it hadn't expected the opponent's attack to come so fast and in such a special form.

But it reacted extremely quickly, vibrating its wings, intending to rely on its extreme speed to dodge.

However.

Those hundred-plus fire chains seemed to have predicted its trajectory, suddenly spreading out in the air to form a massive net of fire chains that covered all the dodging space around its body!

Between the chains.

There were even burning fire lines connecting them.

Instantly sealing off all directions: up, down, left, and right!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The Wind-Thunder power automatically triggered on the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's surface collided with the first few fire chains, making the sound of energy erosion.

The fire on the chains was slightly weakened by the Wind-Thunder, but the chains themselves were exceptionally sturdy and carried a powerful restraining force!

In the spark of a flint.

Over twenty fire chains had successfully broken through the outer defense of the Wind-Thunder power, wrapping around the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's wings, body, and sharp claws like maggots on a bone!

"Screech!"

The Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon let out a slightly annoyed cry, and the blue-gold light around its body flourished!

Even denser and more condensed Wind-Thunder power surged from under its every feather, turning into a layer of constantly flowing, crackling Wind-Thunder Protective Aura shield, firmly resisting the direct burning of the fire chains.

The fire chains and the Wind-Thunder Protective Aura clashed intensely.

Producing continuous sizzling sounds and sparks of energy annihilation.

The chains couldn't instantly burn through this high-quality body-protecting Protective Aura, but they successfully fixed the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's massive body firmly in mid-air!

It struggled with all its might, its wings billowing with violent Wind-Thunder, trying to break these seemingly fragile chains, but the chains didn't budge; instead, they faintly tightened during the confrontation!

Fire Domain Cage!

Successful imprisonment!

"Holy crap! It's imprisoned?!"

"Is this for real?! That's the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon at the Gold Rank Eight Peak!"

"These fire chains... they look so sturdy! They weren't instantly snapped?"

"What skill is that? It doesn't look like a Common fire attack!"

The stands instantly boiled over!

No one expected.

Jiang Yun's opening move was not the expected powerful attack, but a control skill!

What was even more surprising.

Was that this control skill.

Actually temporarily trapped the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon, whose Realm far exceeded Little Fire's!

Zhao Tiezhu and Lin Kuo also widened their eyes.

"This... is this Fire Domain Cage?"

Lin Kuo was somewhat uncertain.

"I remember in the C City Competition, this skill of Jiang Yun's spirit beast... didn't seem this exaggerated, right? Back then, it just released a sea of fire to restrict movement..."

Zhao Tiezhu nodded fiercely.

"Right, right! Now it's directly turned into chains! And it can even trap such a strong spirit beast! What on earth has Jiang Yun... experienced this past month?"

The shock in their hearts was beyond measure.

Their previous worries seemed to be slightly diluted by this sudden turn of events.

But some people immediately snorted in disdain.

"Tch! So what if it's trapped? It's just a control skill!"

"Exactly! It looks scary, but in reality, the fire on those chains can't even burn through the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's body-protecting Protective Aura!"

"Young Master Feng is clearly not being serious and is letting him have it! This level of imprisonment, the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon can shatter it with just a little force!"

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot! An imprisonment at Gold Rank Four also wants to lock up an eighth-rank divine bird? Simply laughable! Does this Heavenly Saint Student not even understand basic energy level suppression?"

"Just watch, these broken chains will soon turn into sparks all over the sky!"

These comments were echoed by many.

In their view.

Being imprisoned was one thing.

Whether it could hold and for how long was the key.

With the huge Realm gap between the two sides.

This kind of imprisonment was bound to be extremely fragile.

Those true Geniuses with real insight.

Now had even more focused expressions.

Even faintly showing gravity.

They could feel.

The degree of condensation of those fire chains and the restraining power they contained.

Were by no means comparable to the imprisonment skills of a Common Gold-rank Spirit Beast!

In the shadows.

Vast Divine Senses also produced subtle fluctuations.

"This imprisonment skill... is quite interesting."

Deep within the Beast Taming Institute.

A hint of surprise appeared on Dean Zhan Qiong's rugged Face.

"Fire energy compressed and condensed to such a degree has already touched the prototype of the Fire Law Chain. This is definitely not a Common extraordinary imprisonment skill; it's at least a specially enhanced Epic Rank, or perhaps even higher! That Feng Family kid's Wind-Thunder Protective Aura is strong, but to break free instantly... it's hard."

"Exquisite energy control."

At the small pavilion on the mountain Peak where Dean Ming Jing was.

Dean Ming Jing couldn't help but speak.

With a hint of admiration.

"Taming the violent fire power and weaving it into chains that possess both sturdiness and restraining properties... this boy's development and control of spirit beast skills far exceed his Realm."

"Now that its movement is imprisoned, I'm afraid there's a killing move..."

"This Feng Family kid has always been arrogant; this time he's likely to suffer a big loss."

On the battle stage.

Feng Qianyuan was also startled at first.

But seeing that the Wind-Thunder Protective Aura on the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon's surface was steadily resisting the fire burning, and although the chains were sturdy, they didn't seem to be able to cause substantial damage, his heart settled, and what surged next was even stronger disdain.

"Heh, I thought it was some kind of incredible killing move."

Feng Qianyuan gave a cold laugh.

With arms crossed, he leisurely watched his temporarily trapped spirit beast in the sky, his tone full of mockery.

"So it's just a flashy but useless imprisonment skill?"

He shook his head.

As if lamenting Jiang Yun's stupidity.

"Jiang Yun, it seems you not only lack strength but are also pitifully deficient in combat Common sense. Do you think this kind of trash chain can trap my Startling Wind Falcon for long?"

He raised a finger.

And shook it contemptuously.

"With just a thought from me, the Startling Wind Falcon only needs to be a bit serious and erupt its Wind-Thunder power, and this garbage will instantly be reduced to ashes."

He looked at Jiang Yun.

His eyes were like those of an audience member watching a poorly performing clown.

"Is this your opening move as a Heavenly Saint Student? It's truly... utterly disappointing. Using this kind of garbage skill can't defeat me; it's not even enough to scratch my spirit beast."

Facing Feng Qianyuan's full-blown mockery and the questioning or gloating gazes of the entire crowd, the calm on Jiang Yun's Face still didn't crack in the slightest.

He even nodded slightly.

As if agreeing with part of Feng Qianyuan's evaluation.

"Senior Feng is right to criticize."

Jiang Yun's voice remained steady.

But a pair of eyes gradually lit up with sharp light.

Like a sleeping volcano beginning to wake up.

"This Fire Domain Cage is indeed just an appetizer; using it to greet Senior is a bit shabby."

His tone suddenly shifted.

Carrying a faint, heart-palpitating sense of apology.

Immediately after.

Before Feng Qianyuan could react.

Jiang Yun's gaze suddenly locked onto the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon in the sky, which was wrapped in fire chains, resisting with its Wind-Thunder Protective Aura, and looking on with impatience and pride, as well as Feng Qianyuan below it, who was full of certain mockery.

He took a deep breath.

His voice suddenly rose, clear and full of power, like the beating of a war drum, echoing clearly in every corner of the Colosseum.

"Little Fire!"

"This Senior Feng seems to think you... aren't quite up to it!"

Jiang Yun's eyes became as sharp as knives.

A cold curve hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Hurry up and..."

His arm suddenly raised, pointing straight at the sky.

As if announcing to heaven and earth.

"Give him something big!"

The moment the words fell.

Little Fire, who was already in sync with Jiang Yun's heart and whose Battle Intent was boiling to the extreme in its dragon eyes, immediately understood and let out a furious roar that tore through the sky!

On its massive dragon body.

The deep blue water waves on the left and the golden-red flames on the right surged wildly at the same time!

A destructive energy, far more violent and condensed than when it previously used the Water-Fire Dragon Breath, as if it would burn the eight desolations and annihilate all things, began to gather crazily in front of its dragon mouth!

The target!

Pointed straight at the Thunder Feather Startling Wind Falcon temporarily fixed in place by the Fire Domain Cage!

Jiang Yun smiled naturally.

"Be careful, Senior!"

"Dragon Flame Burst Kill!"
