63: Chapter 63 The Little Lark Makes its First Appearance! It Shocks the Entire Audience!

As the last student's figure disappeared into the thick mist of the Misty Forest.

In the center of the plaza.

The massive Phantom Light Jellyfish, which had been floating quietly all along, finally made a move.

The Mayor cleared his throat.

His voice, infused with powerful Beast Taming Power, spread throughout the venue:

"Everyone, quiet down! Let me introduce to you, this is a Rare Mother-Child Twin Beast, the Phantom Light Jellyfish! Its child body has been sent above the arena, and the mother body before you will project scenes from within the forest in real-time!"

Before his voice had even faded.

The massive Phantom Light Jellyfish's entire body began to glow with a soft and dreamlike aura, its countless luminous tentacles waving gently.

Immediately after, a surge of majestic energy gathered.

Four or five massive, crystal-clear holographic projection screens formed above the plaza!

The images on the screens were incredibly detailed.

One could even see the textures of the leaves and the luster of the beasts' fur, as if a miniature forest had been brought right before everyone's eyes.

"Wow!"

"So amazing!"

"Look! That's my son!"

"I see my boy too!"

The crowd instantly erupted into thunderous cheers and discussions, everyone's gaze firmly fixed on this miraculous scene.

In previous years, it was always held inside the beast-taming arena.

Where the battle situation could be seen directly.

This year's competition format was not only novel.

This way of watching the match was also quite creative.

The screen initially switched between the various students entering the forest.

Some were cautious, moving step by step, while others used their beasts' advantages to advance rapidly.

When the image froze.

One of the screens happened to capture Jiang Yun, who had just entered the forest not long ago and was preparing to head deeper.

This caused many people present to notice that screen.

However, Jiang Yun in the image was currently in trouble.

He was being blocked by three students wearing uniforms from other schools.

These people were in a semi-circle around him, with playful and ill-intentioned smiles on their faces.

Their beasts were a baring-toothed Sharp-Clawed Monkey, a growling Earth Wolf, and a wing-flapping Poison Bee, all of which had been summoned and were emitting strong auras. The weakest was at the Black Iron Eighth Tier, while the other two beasts' strength had reached the Black Iron Ninth Tier!

"Hahaha! It's that Jiang Yun!"

"He's finished! He got cornered as soon as he went in!"

"How dare he covet our Eldest Miss Su! He deserves it! He should be the first one eliminated!"

"We're doing the people a favor! Go for it, brothers!"

A burst of gloating laughter and cheers immediately rang out from the audience.

Especially where the Xiao Family was located.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Ling were excitedly waving their fists, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

They kept cursing him as a piece of trash who got what he deserved.

His younger sister Jiang Yunyun was extremely nervous, clutching her mother's hand tightly.

Among the crowd, Zhang Qiang, Li Na, and other classmates familiar with Jiang Yun.

All showed worried expressions.

On the high platform.

The Principals of Leiting Middle School and Panshi Middle School, Lei Lie and Principal of Bedrock Middle School, couldn't help but curl their lips into smug smiles, exchanging looks as they waited for the show.

The Mayor and Elder Li remained calm, their expressions unreadable.

Su Chengtian frowned slightly, his gaze focused intently on Jiang Yun.

Principal's face was as calm as a deep well, but in his heart, he thought: "A bunch of fools. This is the perfect chance for Jiang Yun to stretch his legs and show you the true Prodigy of my Qingquan No. 1 Middle School."

At this moment.

The gazes and discussions of the entire venue.

Were almost all focused on this first conflict to break out. Everyone was certain that Jiang Yun's competition journey was about to end quickly and disgracefully... Inside the Misty Forest.

Jiang Yun looked at these guys who were clearly coming for him and sighed helplessly.

Whatever one fears most always seems to happen; why is it so hard to keep a low profile?

"Jiang Yun, if you know what's good for you, get out of here right now! Save us the trouble of making you suffer!"

A tall, thin student shouted arrogantly.

"Exactly! A toad wanting to eat swan meat? Is Miss Su someone you can touch? Get out of here yourself! I don't want to get my hands dirty!"

"The few of us don't have much hope of getting a spot anyway, but being able to eliminate an eyesore like you first makes participating in this competition worth it!"

"Right! Eliminate Jiang Yun to prove our hearts for Su Qingxue!"

They spoke one after another.

As if Jiang Yun were already meat on a chopping block.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

Attempting a final explanation: "I really have no relationship with Su Qingxue, she did it on purpose..."

"Bullshit!"

However, he was crudely interrupted before he could finish: "We all saw it! Miss Su was so intimate with you, and you still want to deny it? Do you take us for fools?"

"Stop wasting words on him! It looks like he doesn't want to leave on his own, so let's just beat him out of here!"

Seeing that explanation was useless.

Jiang Yun completely gave up on communication.

It seemed this battle was unavoidable.

A Black Iron Ninth Tier student, eager to show off, stepped forward first: "To deal with a Black Iron Eighth Tier trash like this, I'm enough on my own! Just watch!"

He commanded the Black Iron Ninth Tier Sharp-Clawed Monkey beside him.

"Go! Blast him out of here!"

The Sharp-Clawed Monkey shrieked.

It turned into a black shadow, its sharp claws aiming for Jiang Yun's face.

If this strike landed on him.

He would surely be blasted out of the Misty Forest.

The other two already had victorious smiles on their faces.

Full of gloating!

Completely satisfied!

However.

Facing this rapid attack, Jiang Yun only shook his head gently and calmly uttered four words.

"Little Cloud Sparrow, come out."

As Jiang Yun's words fell.

Buzz!

A flash of bluish-black lightning appeared in front of Jiang Yun!

The majestic figure of the Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow suddenly appeared.

It didn't even fully stretch its wings; just by hovering there, a majestic pressure far exceeding the Black Iron rank descended like a physical mountain.

"Screech—!"

The Sharp-Clawed Monkey, which had pounced mid-air, seemed to hit an invisible wall. With a miserable cry, it was pinned firmly to the ground by this pressure, its limbs twitching, unable to even lift its head.

Not only that!

The other two's beasts, the Earth Wolf and the Poison Bee... at this moment, all behaved as if they had encountered their natural enemy. They let out cries of extreme terror and prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling violently, unable to even muster a thought of resistance.

"What's going on?!"

"What happened?"

"What's wrong with my beast?!"

The smiles on the students' faces instantly froze.

Replaced by utter shock and confusion.

They tried to command their beasts, but found that only endless fear was transmitted through the Soul link.

It even began to affect them.

When they struggled to shift their gaze from their limp beasts to the suddenly appearing, extraordinarily majestic bluish-black sparrow.

Everyone's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks!

That condensed radiance flowing around its body!

That faintly emanating aura of wind and thunder!

That pressure that made even their Souls tremble!

This... this was simply not an aura that a Black Iron rank could possess!

"This... is this Bron... Bronze Rank?!"

"Bronze First Tier! My god!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Didn't the information say he was only at the Black Iron Eighth Tier?!"

"Which bastard spread that fake news! They've screwed us over!"

"Damn it! If we had known he was Bronze Rank, we wouldn't have dared to block him even if we had a hundred times the courage!"

"We're doomed! This is a disaster!"

The few of them were pale with fright, speaking incoherently.

Their hearts were filled with endless regret and fear.

Their previous arrogance had vanished without a trace.

At this moment, they only wanted to leave this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

In the face of true Bronze Rank strength, their so-called strength in numbers was nothing but a joke.

Meanwhile.

After Jiang Yun summoned Little Cloud Sparrow.

The audience outside had already exploded into a frenzy.
