Chapter 341 Is he using X-ray vision?!

Inside the Beast Taming Space.

That Thunder Cocoon wrapping Little Skylark.

Was undergoing an astonishing change.

The originally airtight blue-purple thunder light.

Now began to seep outward from the inside.

It wasn't dissipating.

But rather like something was breaking free from within.

Fine cracks spread across the surface of the cocoon shell.

With every extension of the cracks, more brilliant and pure thunder light gushed out from the gaps.

The color of that thunder light was completely different from before.

It was no longer a simple intertwining of blue and purple.

But rather, on the base color of blue and purple...

It was plated with a faint layer of... gold.

Not the blazing golden-yellow of flames.

But a cold, faint gold that seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens, carrying a certain Origin aura.

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense floated quietly to the side.

Staring unblinkingly at that cocoon of light.

He could feel it.

That familiar small figure inside the cocoon.

Its aura was climbing at an astonishing speed.

Not just a growth in quantity.

But a transformation in quality.

If Little Skylark's Wind-Thunder power before was a mountain stream, rapid and clear...

Then what was brewing now was the still water of a deep pool, calm on the surface, but hiding undercurrents deep within that were enough to swallow everything.

Crack!!!

Another crack burst open.

This time.

The crack was deeper and longer than any before.

It ran straight from the top of the cocoon to the bottom.

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense feelers gently probed forward.

The next moment... Boom!!!

The Thunder Cocoon exploded violently!

Blue and gold thunder light swept in all directions like a tide!

The brilliance was so intense.

That even the pale blue sky light of the Beast Taming Space was briefly suppressed!

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense, however, remained motionless.

His gaze pierced through that piercing thunder light and fell upon that small figure floating in the Void Realm.

Little Skylark had changed.

Its body size was a circle larger than before, and its wingspan had expanded to nearly double its original size.

The feathers all over its body were no longer the previous Common blue-gray, but had turned into a deep blue-gold.

On the edges of every plume, faint golden thunder arcs flowed.

Those thunder arcs were not the frenzied violence of ordinary lightning, but carried a strange rhythm, dancing at the tips of the feathers as if they were alive.

Most astonishing were its eyes.

The pupils that were originally black with dark gold thunder light.

Had now turned a pale gold.

Deep within the pupils, fine thunder patterns faintly emerged, and with every flicker, a wisp of near-Origin thunder-attribute aura dissipated.

Those eyes looked toward the direction of Jiang Yun's Divine Sense.

It wasn't the dependent, joyful look from before.

But a more composed, more confident... equal gaze.

A wave of unspeakable joy surged in Jiang Yun's heart.

Because he could feel it.

Little Skylark seemed to have become stronger!!!

"Realm..."

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense whispered to itself.

Gold Rank Four Peak.

This was Little Skylark's Realm before entering Ash Town.

And now.

Gold Rank Five!!

Gold Rank Five Peak.

It had directly crossed an entire minor stage within a major rank and rushed to the Peak with unabated momentum.

Only a step away from Gold Rank Six.

Jiang Yun let out a soft breath.

He thought of that wind thunder wood core.

Diamond Low Grade, wind-thunder Origin.

Originally, he thought that after Little Skylark refined it, it would be good enough if it could steadily Breakthrough to Gold Rank Five.

After all, although the wind thunder wood core was precious, it mainly strengthened quality rather than quantity.

But now... he looked at the layer of pale gold thunder arcs around Little Skylark's body.

Looking at the faintly visible thunder patterns deep within those pale gold pupils.

He suddenly understood a little.

The wind thunder wood core was indeed just a catalyst.

What truly caused Little Skylark to undergo this transformation was the thin Ancient Wind-Thunder Divine Peng Bloodline within its body.

The Origin power of the wind thunder wood core was like a key.

Opening that long-sealed door.

The current Little Skylark.

Was no longer just a Storm Thunder Sparrow.

It was a... Storm Thunder Sparrow whose Bloodline had been initially awakened.

The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

He really wanted to know.

What kind of changes in power the transformed Little Skylark would have?

How much its combat power had increased.

Whether the duration of the Divine Roc True Form...

Was longer now?

The range of Summon Thunderstorm?

Had it expanded?

And that newborn Wind-Thunder power with pale gold thunder arcs... he was looking forward to it.

Just right.

South Street was right before them.

There seemed to be many Vicious Beasts ahead.

He could let Little Skylark show off its skills.

A wisp of Jiang Yun's Divine Sense withdrew from the Beast Taming Space.

The moment his main consciousness returned.

He heard the voice of Town Head Xiao Jianshan.

"Sacred Student, South Street is just ahead."

Xiao Jianshan raised his hand, pointing toward that dilapidated street in the twilight.

The wound on his left shoulder was still seeping blood, but his pace remained steady.

"From here on, we have officially entered the South Street area."

Jiang Yun nodded.

His Brick Stone Rank Divine Sense had already spread out, like an invisible giant net, covering the entire South Street.

He didn't rush to speak.

Instead, he carefully perceived the position, strength, and status of every Vicious Beast's aura within South Street.

With the enhancement of his Diamond Rank Divine Sense.

The situation within South Street was clearly visible.

He soon detected the presence of all the Vicious Beasts.

Twenty!!!

No! More than that!

His brow twitched slightly.

It wasn't the dozen or so previously estimated.

It was exactly twenty-five.

Among them, five auras were exceptionally powerful.

Amethyst Rank.

And more than just the first stage.

One Amethyst Tier 3, four Purple Crystal Second Stage.

Stronger than the group in the town center.

They were all gathered in a relatively open area in the middle section of South Street.

That should have been the original Market Square.

At this moment, these Vicious Beasts were entrenched there, doing who knows what.

It was as if they were guarding.

Or as if they were waiting for some command.

Jiang Yun withdrew his Divine Sense.

His tone was calm, as if he were talking about a most ordinary matter.

"Twenty-five."

Lei Qing was stunned.

"What?"

Jiang Yun didn't look at him, his gaze still fixed on the depths of South Street.

"The Vicious Beasts in South Street, twenty-five in total."

"Twenty of them are Gold Rank, and five are Amethyst Rank."

"Among the Amethyst Rank, one is third stage, and four are second stage."

"They are all gathered in the square in the middle section, not scattered."

As his words fell.

The surroundings suddenly went quiet.

Lei Qing stood with his mouth open, staring blankly at Jiang Yun.

Liu Qingshuang's eyelashes lifted slightly, her cold eyes fixed on Jiang Yun's face, unmoving.

Xiao Chen's gaze narrowed slightly, and in his eyes looking at Jiang Yun, there was an extra hint of unspeakable complexity.

Town Head Xiao Jianshan and Fierce Tiger Li looked at each other, seeing the same thing in each other's eyes.

Shock!

And... a hint of near-instinctive disbelief.

"Sacred Student..."

Xiao Jianshan spoke, his voice becoming a few degrees raspier than before.

He wasn't questioning.

He was just... too shocked!

He was an Amethyst Rank first stage Beast Tamer.

Although his Divine Sense wasn't top-tier, it was still a solid Amethyst Rank.

But at this moment, when his Divine Sense extended out, he could only perceive that there were indeed many Vicious Beasts ahead with terrifying auras, several of which were not inferior to his own.

Exactly how many?

He couldn't perceive it clearly.

What exact Realm?

He was even less able to judge precisely.

Yet this sixteen years old youth.

This youth who, since stepping into Ash Town.

Had been incredibly composed all along.

He not only perceived it.

But perceived it in such detail.

Twenty-five.

Twenty Gold, five Amethyst.

One third stage, four second stage.

All gathered in the square.

How strong of a Divine Sense did this require?

Xiao Jianshan didn't dare think further.

He only knew that as an Amethyst Rank first stage himself, he was far from being able to do it.

Fierce Tiger Li was even more direct.

He stared at Jiang Yun, his bloodshot eyes filled with unconcealed horror.

"Sacred Student... How, how did you know?"

He even used a respectful form of address.

Jiang Yun didn't explain.

He just shook his head slightly.

"Once we go in, you will see."

At that moment.

An untimely voice rang out.

Carrying that sort of half-smiling tone.

"Heh!"

Zhao Zhao leaned against a broken wall, the corner of his mouth hooked in that signature curve.

His gaze swept over Jiang Yun and finally landed on that young face.

"Twenty-five Vicious Beasts, five Amethyst, all gathered in the square?"

He repeated Jiang Yun's words, his tone as if he were chewing on a joke.

"I, a dignified Amethyst Rank second stage, although I wouldn't dare say how strong my Mental Energy is, it's at least a solid Amethyst Rank."

He paused.

"Even I didn't perceive exactly how many there were, nor did I perceive where they were gathered."

"You, a Gold Rank..."

He dragged out the end of his sentence.

"What could you possibly perceive?"

Lei Qing's brow furrowed, about to speak.

Zhao Zhao, however, waved his hand, giving him no chance to interject.

"Alright, this young master isn't trying to argue with you."

He looked at Jiang Yun, his smile becoming increasingly playful.

"It's just that our Sacred Student here..."

He deliberately emphasized the words "Sacred Student."

"Is bragging way too much."

"Twenty Gold, five Amethyst, all in the square?"

"Those who don't know better would think you installed a Monitoring Magical Artifact in that square."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Jiang Yun's response and shook his head to himself.

That posture clearly said.

I'm waiting to see how you're going to cover up this lie in a moment.

Lei Qing's expression was a bit unsightly.

He looked at Jiang Yun, wanting to say something.

Jiang Yun, however, just smiled faintly.

That smile was very shallow.

So shallow it was almost imperceptible.

But his tone remained as steady as ever.

"Whether it's true or not."

He took a step.

"We will see."

Subsequently, the group didn't argue further.

They walked together toward the square within South Street.

The middle section of South Street.

The original Market Square.

Had now completely fallen into becoming a nest for Vicious Beasts.

The moment everyone stepped onto the edge of the square.

Everyone was stunned.

In the middle of the square.

Densely packed Vicious Beasts were entrenched within.

Some were lying on the ground, seemingly resting.

Some were pacing back and forth, seemingly on guard.

Some were tilting their heads back and growling, as if calling out to their kind.

And in the very center.

Five giant beasts with exceptionally terrifying auras each occupied a side.

A giant lizard completely covered in dark yellow scales was entrenched on the ruins that used to be a stage.

Amethyst Tier 3.

Beside it, four Purple Crystal Second Stage Vicious Beasts were in a four-cornered position, faintly guarding it in the center.

A Blazing Flame Lion King.

A Sky-Rending Wind Falcon.

An Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard.

A Profound Ice Giant Python.

Five Amethyst.

Twenty Gold.

All gathered here... Lei Qing was the first to speak.

In his voice was unconcealed shock.

"Holy crap!"

"It really is twenty-five!"

"Twenty Gold, and five of them have exceptionally powerful auras, clearly Amethyst Rank... Could it really be as the Sacred Student said? One third stage, four second stage..."

He turned his head, staring fixedly at Jiang Yun.

Those eyes were now filled with disbelief.

"Sacred Student, how, how on earth did you do it?!"

"You motherf*cker, you didn't turn on X-ray vision, did you?!"

Lei Qing was so excited he couldn't help but swear.

Liu Qingshuang didn't speak.

She just looked at Jiang Yun.

In those cold eyes.

For the first time, a hint of unbelievable doubt appeared.

An emotion she herself couldn't explain.

She was first on the Earth Ranking.

Her Divine Sense had already initially reached the Amethyst Rank when she was at Gold Rank Nine.

But even so, she hadn't perceived such an exact number and distribution just now.

And Jiang Yun... she remembered very clearly.

His Realm was Gold Rank Five.

How could a Gold Rank Five's Divine Sense reach such a level?

This would require at least... Amethyst Peak!

Or even Diamond Rank!

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

In the gaze she directed at Jiang Yun.

There was an extra hint of unprecedented solemnity.

Xiao Chen was equally silent.

His gaze toward Jiang Yun was even more complex than Liu Qingshuang's.

He had always been known for his meticulous thinking and keen observation.

But at this moment, he realized.

Since entering Ash Town.

He had never been able to see through this Sacred Student.

Every time he thought he had seen clearly the depth of Jiang Yun's abilities.

This youth would use some method to tell him... you're still far from it.

Just like now.

He took a deep breath and lowered his eyes.

What else could he say?

Xiao Jianshan and Fierce Tiger Li stood at the very edge.

They were completely speechless.

Twenty-five.

Five Amethyst.

One third stage, four second stage.

All correct.

Not a single word off.

Xiao Jianshan looked at Jiang Yun's back.

This sixteen years old youth.

Was now standing in front of everyone.

His gaze calmly looked at those twenty-five Vicious Beasts.

There was no expression on his face.

As if he were looking at a group of ants not worth worrying about.

Xiao Jianshan suddenly felt his throat go dry.

He remembered he was still worried just now about whether these young people could handle the Vicious Beasts in South Street.

At this moment, he only felt himself to be ridiculous.

This Sacred Student... was probably not Gold Rank at all.

At least Amethyst Peak.

Or even... Diamond Rank?

He swallowed hard.

A sixteen years old Diamond Rank Beast Tamer.

He had lived for more than half his life.

Let alone seen one.

He hadn't even heard of one.

And at this moment.

At the edge of the square.

That figure who had been leaning against the broken wall and had never stepped into the square.

Froze.

Zhao Zhao stood in place.

On his lips, that mocking curve from before still remained.

But his expression.

Had completely changed.

In those eyes, it was filled with... disbelief.

And.

A hint of horror that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

He opened his mouth.

Wanting to say something.

But found his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

Not a single word could come out.

Twenty-five.

Five Amethyst.

One third stage, four second stage.

All in the square.

All correct.

Not a single word off.

The words he had just said... "Even I didn't perceive it, what could you, a Gold Rank, possibly perceive?"

"The Sacred Student is bragging too much."

At this moment, they were like slap after slap.

Violently striking his own face.

Burning hot.

So painful he could hardly stand...
