32: Chapter 32 Black Iron Tier 6! Shocking everyone!

The Earth-Splitting Lizard's roar exploded across the clearing, its thick limbs kicking the ground, carving shallow pits into the earth.

"Earth-Splitting Lizard! Use Earth Spike Raid! Cripple him for me!"

Xiao Hong's voice carried an unquestionable dominance.

His finger pointed directly at the open ground in front of Jiang Yun.

Xiao Ling stood nearby leaning on his crutch, a smug smile curling his lips, his eyes full of schadenfreude.

"Jiang Yun, let's see how you escape this time!"

He could already see the scene of Jiang Yun being sent flying and heavily injured by the Earth-Splitting Lizard, then kneeling to beg for mercy; the resentment built up in his heart was finally about to be vented.

The surrounding students also held their breath.

Some subconsciously took two steps back.

They had seen the Earth-Splitting Lizard's "Earth Spike Assault" during practical combat classes in the Intermediate Class; it could instantly sprout over a dozen stone spikes from the ground, capable of heavily injuring even a Black Iron Fourth Tier beast.

As a human, Jiang Yun would likely be crippled if not killed.

"Brother! Be careful!"

Jiang Yunyun nervously grabbed Jiang Yun's arm.

She wanted to pull her brother away.

Li Na and Zhang Qiang also stepped forward a couple of paces; Li Na's Wind Plume Sparrow had already been summoned, perched on her shoulder, ready to use "Wind Blade" to interfere at any moment.

Zhang Qiang clenched his fists; if Jiang Yun was in danger, even if it meant his beast getting hurt, he would have his Rock Armor Rat rush up to block the blow.

Just as the Earth-Splitting Lizard's front claws were about to kick off and the ground began to bulge slightly.

Jiang Yun remained where he was, without a trace of panic on his face, only speaking faintly: "Little Fire, come out."

As his voice fell.

A flash of crimson light appeared.

The figure of the Fire Dragon Fish instantly appeared in front of Jiang Yun.

It had grown a bit larger than three days ago, its dark-gold horns shimmering slightly, and the crimson patterns on its scales flowed like liquid fire under the sunlight; with a gentle flick of its tail, it brought forth a gust of scorching wind and flame.

Seeing the Fire Dragon Fish, a hint of disdain flashed in the Earth-Splitting Lizard's eyes as its massive body suddenly lunged forward.

"Earth Spike Assault" activated!

The ground cracked with a "ka-cha," and over a dozen sharp stone spikes thrust toward the Fire Dragon Fish, moving so fast they left only afterimages.

The Earth-Splitting Lizard followed closely behind the spikes in a brutal Collision.

Seeing Jiang Yun summon his beast.

Xiao Ling's smile grew even more triumphant.

"Just a mantis trying to stop a carriage!"

But in the next second.

Everyone's smiles instantly froze on their faces.

The Fire Dragon Fish didn't dodge at all; instead, it suddenly raised its tail, crimson flames entwining the tip, and whipped it fiercely at the charging Earth-Splitting Lizard and the stone spikes.

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out.

Like a whip striking leather, the Earth-Splitting Lizard's massive body was sent flying like a tattered sack, drawing an arc in the air and slamming heavily onto the grass ten meters away, with even the newly sprouted stone spikes being smashed into powder.

The Earth-Splitting Lizard struggled to get up, but just as it propped up its front claws, it collapsed again with a "thud," spitting out a mouthful of blood-streaked saliva, its eyes filled with terror as it looked at the Fire Dragon Fish.

The clearing instantly fell silent, and even the sound of wind blowing through the leaves could be heard clearly.

After a few seconds, someone finally took a sharp breath and let out an incredulous cry.

"Holy crap! Isn't Xiao Hong's Earth-Splitting Lizard at the Black Iron Sixth Tier? How did it get sent flying by a single tail swipe from Jiang Yun's Fire Dragon Fish, which was contracted less than three days ago?"

"Am I seeing things? That fish... it seemed like it didn't even use any strength just now!"

"Yeah! It didn't even use a skill and sent it flying! This... how is this possible?!"

"Didn't they say Jiang Yun's beast was only at the Black Iron Third Tier? How could it possibly beat a Black Iron Sixth Tier Earth-Splitting Lizard?"

Seeing this scene.

Everyone was beyond shocked.

Jiang Yunyun's eyes widened even further, her grip on Jiang Yun's arm loosening slightly as she murmured softly, "Brother... your beast... how did it become so powerful?"

She and her brother had contracted their beasts on the same day.

Because she didn't have a suitable Spirit Stone, her beast was still only at the Black Iron First Tier.

But she never imagined her brother's beast would already be strong enough to swat away a Black Iron Sixth Tier Vicious Beast with one tail swipe!

Li Na and Zhang Qiang were also stunned.

Zhang Qiang subconsciously patted the Rock Armor Rat beside him and swallowed hard: "This... this combat power is too ridiculous! If my Rock Armor Rat faced that Earth-Splitting Lizard, it probably wouldn't last a single move!"

Li Na's Wind Plume Sparrow also flapped its wings uneasily, clearly intimidated by the Fire Dragon Fish's strength.

The triumph on Xiao Ling's face vanished completely, replaced by total bewilderment; he rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong.

"No... impossible! My cousin's Earth-Splitting Lizard is at the Black Iron Sixth Tier! How could it be sent flying by a fish's tail? It must be luck! Yes, the Earth-Splitting Lizard wasn't paying attention! A sneak attack! This is definitely a sneak attack!"

Xiao Hong's face also darkened, his brows knitting into a knot; he stared fixedly at the Fire Dragon Fish, then at the Earth-Splitting Lizard, which had rolled over on the ground in a pathetic state.

His tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

"Right! The Earth-Splitting Lizard must have been careless just now, let's go again!"

As he spoke, he shouted to the Earth-Splitting Lizard, "Earth-Splitting Lizard, use 'Rock Shield' to protect yourself, then use 'Collision' to attack!!"

Hearing the command, the Earth-Splitting Lizard struggled to its feet.

Its body became covered in a thick layer of rock armor, making it look more like a moving small mountain.

It let out a low growl and charged at the Fire Dragon Fish again; its speed was slower than before, but its impact force was clearly stronger, making the ground "thump" as it stepped.

A cold smile curled the corner of Jiang Yun's mouth.

Through Entry Manifestation, he had long ago seen all of the Earth-Splitting Lizard's information, including its weaknesses.

The scales on the Earth-Splitting Lizard's belly were weak, and the Rock Shield couldn't cover them; this so-called Collision skill was nothing more than brute force.

"Little Fire, avoid its front and attack its belly!"

Jiang Yun's command reached the Fire Dragon Fish's ears clearly.

The Fire Dragon Fish nimbly stepped aside, easily dodging the Earth-Splitting Lizard's charge.

Due to inertia, the Earth-Splitting Lizard rushed forward several meters before stopping, inevitably falling into a brief state of stiffness. At that moment, the Fire Dragon Fish suddenly turned, took a deep breath, and a stream of crimson Flame Breath accurately blasted onto the Earth-Splitting Lizard's belly!

"Sizzle—"

The sound of flames scorching rock was extremely piercing; the Rock Shield on the Earth-Splitting Lizard's belly was instantly melted, revealing the tender skin beneath; the flames scorched the skin directly, causing the lizard to let out a shrill scream of pain.

Its massive body fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again; the Rock Shield shattered along with it, and the scales all over its body lost their luster, clearly having lost all combat capability.

This exchange.

Caused the discussions in the clearing to explode completely, becoming even more intense than before.

"No! That wasn't luck! Definitely not luck! That Flame Breath was too precise, hitting the Earth-Splitting Lizard's weakness perfectly!"

"What Realm is this fish exactly? A Black Iron Sixth Tier Earth-Splitting Lizard was insta-killed? And this Jiang Yun is too awesome! In such a short clash, he was actually able to find the Earth-Splitting Lizard's weakness."

"I remember three days ago Jiang Yun just contracted his beast! Only three days have passed, how could his Fire Dragon Fish be this strong?"

"Could it be? Did Jiang Yun raise the Fire Dragon Fish's Realm to the Black Iron Sixth Tier or even higher in just three days?"

"That's even more impossible! Do you think raising a beast's strength is as simple as drinking water?"

"If it's not the strength of the Black Iron Sixth Tier, how did this Fire Dragon Fish manage to defeat a Black Iron Sixth Tier Earth-Splitting Lizard so easily?"

Everyone was very confused.

At this moment, Xiao Hong was equally incredulous.

His eyes bulged instantly; he rushed to the Earth-Splitting Lizard's side and checked its condition.

Finding that it had completely lost its combat capability.

It could only pant weakly; he was instantly so distressed his face turned pale.

He suddenly looked up at Jiang Yun, his voice carrying a hint of a roar: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! A Fire Dragon Fish contracted for less than three days! How could it defeat my Earth-Splitting Lizard! It has the strength of the Black Iron Sixth Tier!"

Jiang Yun smiled faintly.

His tone was calm yet carried an unquestionable power.

"I'm sorry, but my Fire Dragon Fish is also at the Black Iron Sixth Tier. Furthermore, its Aptitude is better than your Earth-Splitting Lizard's, and its practical combat experience is richer than your Earth-Splitting Lizard's. Is it that strange it could defeat it?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Hong and Xiao Ling.

He continued: "Just now you said you wanted to take one of my legs to settle the score; now that your beast has lost, if you still want to take my leg? Little Fire and I are ready anytime."

Xiao Hong looked at the dying Earth-Splitting Lizard, then at the imposing Fire Dragon Fish.

He felt a wave of frustration... He had spent a vast amount of resources to nurture the Earth-Splitting Lizard to the Black Iron Sixth Tier, and now that it was beaten like this, it would need at least half a month to recover; if they continued fighting, the Earth-Splitting Lizard might be completely ruined.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment, but he could only squeeze a sentence out from between his teeth: "Jiang Yun, you wait and see! This isn't over!"

After speaking, he carefully withdrew the Earth-Splitting Lizard into his Beast Taming Space and turned to leave.

Xiao Ling's face looked even worse.

It was as if he had eaten feces.

Seeing his cousin leave.

He didn't dare say anything more.

Leaning on his crutch, he limped pathetically after Xiao Hong, not even daring to look back, fearing Jiang Yun would cause him trouble now.

Watching the Xiao brothers' pathetic departure.

The surrounding students immediately swarmed forward.

They showered Jiang Yun with praise.

As if they were very close to him.

"Student Jiang Yun, you're too amazing! A Black Iron Sixth Tier beast, you'll be the boss of our Rookie Class from now on!"

"Student Jiang Yun, can you tell us how your beast improved so fast? Is there some secret?"

"Student Jiang Yun, can you take me along next time there's practical combat? I promise not to hold you back!"

Just now, when Xiao Hong was threatening Jiang Yun, every one of them had their heads down, not daring to speak; now that they saw Jiang Yun had won.

And possessed such a powerful beast.

They thought Jiang Yun would surely rise rapidly in the school in the future!

So they immediately crowded around to curry favor.

Their attitudes changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

Jiang Yunyun couldn't stand it anymore.

She took a step forward, blocking the way in front of Jiang Yun.

She said with a frown: "When my brother was being threatened by Xiao Hong just now, why didn't you speak up? Now that my brother has won, you all crowd around. Have you no shame?"

Rebuked by Jiang Yunyun, the students who had crowded around stopped awkwardly; some scratched their heads, some looked down, and no one dared to speak again as they slowly dispersed.

Only Jiang Yun, Jiang Yunyun, Li Na, and Zhang Qiang were left in the clearing.

Li Na stepped forward and said with a smile, "Jiang Yun, you're too low-key! The Fire Dragon Fish is already at the sixth tier, and you didn't say anything earlier. You really gave us a scare."

Zhang Qiang also nodded, his tone full of admiration: "Yeah! We entered the Rookie Class on the same day, right? In three days, you raised the Fire Dragon Fish from the first tier to the sixth tier. If this gets out, it'll cause a sensation throughout the whole school! Even the whole C City! You're simply a Genius among geniuses! How on earth did you do it?"

Jiang Yun smiled and didn't say much, only replying vaguely: "I was lucky; I encountered a bit of an Opportunity in the Misty Forest Core Area and got some resources that can quickly raise a beast's Realm, so Little Fire improved quickly."

He didn't want to expose the matter of the nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones in his storage ring; after all, that wasn't a small amount, and likely no Family besides the Su Family, the number one Family in C City.

Could produce so many Spirit Stones of different attributes at once, even including so many rare Spirit Stones with special attributes.

If it got out, it would inevitably invite the disaster of being killed for his treasure.

Li Na and Zhang Qiang also knew that everyone had their own secrets and didn't press him, only saying with a smile: "In any case, you've really brought honor to our Rookie Class this time! The Xiao brothers definitely won't dare to trouble you again."

Jiang Yun nodded.

"I hope so."

The four of them sat together and chatted for a while longer; before long, the voices of the coaches came from the distance.

Coach Lin and the coaches from the other two classes had all returned.

The students from the three classes quickly gathered together; Coach Lin did a head count, and after confirming no one from the Rookie Class was missing, he led everyone toward the city area.

As for the matter of Su Qingxue.

No one mentioned it.

After all, the Su Family's gossip wasn't something easily discussed.

Returning to the city area.

When they disbanded at the school gate.

Jiang Yun said to Jiang Yunyun, "Yunyun, you go home first. I'm going to the Beast Tamer Mall to sell some things I got during this practical session that I don't need, and exchange them for some federal currency and resources."

"When I get back, I'll give you a big surprise!"

Jiang Yunyun nodded and urged with great anticipation, "Brother, you must also be careful and come back early."

Watching Jiang Yunyun's retreating figure disappear.

Jiang Yun turned and walked toward the Beast Tamer Mall.

In his storage ring, he still had the corpses of the Nether Spider and the Icefield Snake, as well as a large number of attribute Spirit Stones he didn't need.

If all these things were sold, they could be exchanged for a lot of federal currency; he would likely become an overnight millionaire!

Thinking of this.

The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and his steps became a bit lighter...
