30: Chapter 30 Amethyst-Level Beast Tamer! Su Chengtian, Patriarch of the Su Family!

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment.

Although he didn't know if that Nine-Tailed Fox and Thunder Qilin Beast were the Vicious Beast and Su Qingxue that Coach Lin mentioned,

he still gave a description of the Thunder Qilin Beast's appearance.

As Jiang Yun briefly described the Thunder Qilin Beast's form, the thunder patterns on its scales, and that terrifying pressure,

Coach Lin's expression shifted from doubt to certainty. He slapped his thigh hard. "That's it! That's the one! When that Vicious Beast shattered the defensive barrier with one claw yesterday, its body was covered in that same silver-blue lightning!"

"Since you've seen it, you must know which direction it went. I need to inform the Principal and the Su Family Head immediately."

As Coach Lin spoke, he pulled out a signal flare and fired it into the sky. An orange-red pillar of light pierced through the thin mist.

Just a moment later.

An eagle's cry that could pierce gold and crack stone echoed from the distant horizon.

A streak of cyan-blue light broke through the clouds.

Jiang Yun instinctively narrowed his eyes.

He saw a giant eagle with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters. Its feathers looked as if they were carved from ice crystals, and the edge of every plume was entwined with pale gold wind-thunder patterns. Its claws gripped a thundercloud half a meter in diameter, and with every flap of its wings, a hurricane rose from the forest below.

Even more startling was the middle-aged man standing on the eagle's back.

He was dressed in a moon-white silk robe, with a jade belt embedded with blue crystals tied around his waist. His face was handsome but bore an icy indifference; when his gaze swept over the ground, it was as if he were looking down at ants.

Jiang Yun's Entry Manifestation had just finished scanning the avian.

The middle-aged man had already descended with the Divine Eagle, the wind pressure causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground.

He didn't even glance at Coach Lin or Jiang Yun. His voice sounded like cold wind scraping across ice: "Have you seen my daughter?"

"No."

Facing that invisible pressure, Jiang Yun pointed in the direction where the Thunder Qilin Beast had disappeared: "I only saw that Vicious Beast heading deep into the Core Area, carrying a girl in white."

He deliberately omitted the existence of the Nine-Tailed Fox, mentioning only the Thunder Qilin Beast.

As the middle-aged man frowned, the Wind Spirit Divine Eagle suddenly let out an anxious cry, its eagle eyes staring fixedly toward the Core Area.

The man asked no more questions. With a light tap of his toes, he stood back on the Wind Spirit Divine Eagle's back. The hurricane kicked up by the Divine Eagle's wings nearly knocked Jiang Yun off his feet. The cyan-blue light shot toward the Core Area like an arrow, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

"So that is an Amethyst Rank Expert..."

Coach Lin muttered to himself as he watched the sky.

He shook his head at Jiang Yun with a bitter smile. "The powerful are all like this—arrogant and believing themselves invincible. I'll take you back to the gathering point first; it's not safe out here."

Jiang Yun didn't say anything, only nodding his head.

Having witnessed the world-disdaining posture of an Amethyst Rank Beast Tamer, a surge of anticipation ignited in his heart.

"Amethyst Rank? Sooner or later, I will reach that level too."

...Under Coach Lin's escort,

Jiang Yun soon returned to the Outer Perimeter.

Coach Lin left after seeing Jiang Yun back.

At this moment, everyone from the three classes had gathered in the outer area.

The Rookie Class's gathering point was set in an open space that had been trampled by Vicious Beasts.

When Jiang Yun appeared following Coach Lin,

everyone's eyes in the Rookie Class instantly bulged.

One by one, they looked at Jiang Yun beside Coach Lin with faces full of disbelief.

"This... didn't they say this guy entered the Core Area and died?"

"Holy crap! It's like seeing a ghost!"

"Heaven-Defying! I saw him enter the Core Area with my own eyes. This guy actually came back alive!"

"That's a place where Rank Eight and Nine Vicious Beasts are everywhere! How on earth did this guy survive?"

The group of students from the Rookie Class discussed in disbelief.

When Jiang Yunyun saw Jiang Yun,

the water bottle in Jiang Yunyun's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." Tears rolled down like beads from a broken string. As she threw herself into Jiang Yun's arms, she almost knocked him back half a step. "Brother! I thought you were dead..."

"Silly girl, your brother's life is tough."

Jiang Yun rubbed his sister's wind-mussed hair and noticed the grass bits stuck to her cuffs. She had clearly fallen while following the team to search for him.

He knew very well that since there had been no news of him for a whole day, his sister must have been the most worried. The dark circles under her eyes suggested she probably hadn't slept at all last night.

Beside them, Li Na handed over a water bottle with red-rimmed eyes, while Zhang Qiang slapped his shoulder with a goofy grin. "I knew you'd be fine, Student Jiang Yun!"

"Thank you for taking care of Yunyun."

Jiang Yun smiled.

Seeing the three of them together, it was obvious the two had been looking after his sister since yesterday.

So, to express his gratitude,

Jiang Yun pulled out two small bags of Spirit Stones from his storage ring.

He handed them to Zhang Qiang and Li Na respectively.

He gave Zhang Qiang fifty earthy-yellow earth attribute Spirit Stones, and Li Na fifty sky-blue wind attribute Spirit Stones.

Jiang Yun stepped forward.

"These are some earth attribute and wind attribute Spirit Stones. Your beasts, the Rock Armor Rat and Wind Plume Sparrow, can use them."

"This is too precious!"

The two of them backed away at the same time upon seeing this. Li Na waved her hands repeatedly. "We only did what we should have..."

"Take them."

Jiang Yun forced them into their hands and lowered his voice. "Consider this a thank-you gift from an older brother on behalf of his sister. If you don't accept, don't ask to team up with me in the future."

He knew fifty Spirit Stones was a fortune for rookies, but for the current Jiang Yun, it was a drop in the bucket. Moreover, he had no use for these two types of Spirit Stones right now.

However, he couldn't take out too many. Taking out too many Spirit Stones might arouse suspicion from others; after all, nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones were still lying in his storage ring.

Li Na and Zhang Qiang could only smile awkwardly upon hearing this.

They then accepted the Spirit Stones one after another.

Their favorable impression of Jiang Yun shot up instantly.

The two of them exclaimed that Jiang Yun was a friend worth knowing deeply.

So they immediately stated: "Jiang Yun! We can't take your Spirit Stones for nothing. If you ever need us for anything in the future, just say the word. We definitely won't refuse."

"Mm, okay. Definitely."

Jiang Yun nodded.

Both Li Na and Zhang Qiang were honest people.

He felt these two were worth knowing deeply.

In his heart, he also accepted the two of them as friends.

However, just as the three were exchanging pleasantries,

a gloomy voice came from behind Jiang Yun.

The voice also carried a hint of anger and disbelief.

"Jiang Yun! You're actually not dead yet!"
