68: Chapter 68 Run! Jiang Yun is here!

Above the square.

The giant light screen clearly projected the scene of Jiang Yun being intercepted and robbed by two students from Panshi Middle School.

Everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for these two.

"Are these two from Panshi Middle School? One is Black Iron Ninth Tier, and the other is Ninth Tier Peak!"

"Did they just arrive? Did they not see the scene earlier where Jiang Yun insta-killed the Ironclad Earth Dragon?"

"So brave! They actually dare to rob Jiang Yun..."

"Brave! Truly too brave!"

The discussions were filled with schadenfreude and the excitement of people who loved watching a good show.

Clearly.

After witnessing Jiang Yun's Bronze Rank strength.

Everyone believed.

These two provocateurs were seeking their own deaths.

On the high platform.

The Principal of Panshi Middle School, Principal of Bedrock Middle School, slightly held his forehead.

"These two idiots! Are their eyes on the back of their heads? Didn't they see that Ironclad Earth Dragon on the ground?"

Beside him, Principal He felt very vindicated at this moment.

He leisurely stroked his non-existent beard.

And said slowly:

"Principal Shi, take it easy. Young people are full of vigor and want to protect... uh, the goddess in their hearts. Their courage is commendable, commendable indeed! It's just that their vision and intelligence-gathering abilities really need improvement."

The mockery in his words was almost undisguised.

Principal of Bedrock Middle School's face turned ashen, yet he couldn't refute it.

After all, it was their students who spoke first to rob him.

Even if something happened to them because of Jiang Yun.

They would have deserved it... Inside the Misty Forest.

Looking at the two aggressive guys in front of him talking big, Jiang Yun sighed helplessly.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile.

But there were always people who took the initiative to shove their faces forward for him to slap.

"It seems that earning points peacefully isn't going to work."

Jiang Yun muttered to himself, his gaze then turning sharp.

"Fine, then let's be straightforward."

With a thought, a flash of blue-black lightning appeared on his shoulder, and the extraordinarily majestic Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow suddenly appeared!

"Li—!"

A clear and resonant cry rang out, accompanied by the unreserved, powerful pressure belonging to a Bronze First Tier beast, crushing toward those two students like a tide.

The originally snarling Flame Dogs and the low-flying Vultures instantly let out whines of extreme terror under the absolute suppression of this rank.

With a "thud," the Flame Dog collapsed onto the ground.

Shivering uncontrollably.

The Vulture fell down unsteadily like a kite with a broken string.

The two students, who were incredibly arrogant just a second ago, had their expressions freeze instantly, and they immediately realized something was wrong.

Their faces turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Their pupils shrank instantly due to extreme horror.

"What! This is...?!"

"Bro... Bronze Rank?!"

"Holy crap! Bronze First Tier! How is this possible?!"

"How can this guy be Bronze Rank? Didn't they say he was only Black Iron Eighth Tier?"

"Damn it! Which goddamned bastard spread the fake news to harm me!! I curse his ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"It's over! It's all over!"

The two were immediately scared out of their wits, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

In their hearts, they cursed the person who spread the rumor that Jiang Yun was only Black Iron Eighth Tier ten thousand times.

Their previous arrogance vanished without a trace.

Only endless regret and fear remained.

With a thud.

Both of them knelt on the ground.

"Jiang... Jiang Yun! A misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

"We were blind! It turns out you're not a Milk Toad! We are the Milk Toads! You are a great person with a large heart, please just treat us like a fart and let us go!"

"We promise to get lost right now! Get lost immediately!"

Jiang Yun looked at the two guys in front of him who were kowtowing like pounding garlic.

A cold smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Misunderstanding? Didn't you want to eliminate me just now, snatch my beast cores and treasures? You even wanted me to eliminate myself?"

"Want to leave now? Fine."

Jiang Yun's tone was flat but carried an unquestionable weight: "Hand over all the beast cores, Spirit Stones, and treasures on you. Otherwise, I don't mind personally sending you out."

Hearing this, the two's faces turned green.

Handing over all beast cores meant their points would be reset to zero.

Their work for the past half-day would be in vain... They failed to rob him... and were robbed instead... But thinking about it, if they gave them up, at least they could stay on the field and still have a chance to turn things around by hunting Vicious Beasts later.

If they were eliminated, there would truly be no hope at all.

Weighing the pros and cons, the two could only pull a long face and, with extreme pain, empty their Storage Pouches, piling all their gains in front of Jiang Yun.

"Big... Big Brother Jiang, it's... it's all here..."

"Can we go now?"

Jiang Yun glanced at the things on the ground and nodded.

"Fine. You can leave, but remember, don't let me see you again. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll rob you."

Jiang Yun said displeasedly.

Hearing this, the two felt as if they had been granted a grand amnesty.

They scrambled away in a pathetic state.

While running, they cursed the rumor-monger's ancestors for eighteen generations again in their hearts.

The two left.

Jiang Yun began to count the spoils.

Among the things the two took out.

There were not only dozens of Low-Grade Spirit Stones and some scattered Spiritual Plants, but more importantly, over a dozen Black Iron Eighth Tier and Ninth Tier beast cores.

A rough calculation.

Added up, the points were nearly two hundred!

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiang Yun couldn't help but remark:

"Hunting laboriously for so long only yielded three times more than this. In just a short moment, the beast cores snatched from two people increased my points by nearly two hundred. It seems getting points from others is much faster."

"In that case..."

Jiang Yun pondered.

He weighed the beast cores in his hand.

A flash of realization inadvertently crossed his eyes.

He muttered to himself: "Hunting a Vicious Beast requires time to find it, fight it, and consumes physical strength, yet only gives ninety points at most. But persuading a helpful classmate... just requires releasing some Aura to steadily gain dozens of points."

This cost-performance ratio... seems quite high!

Then why bother hunting Vicious Beasts?

Wouldn't it be better to just hunt other students?

Anyway, these people all wanted to eliminate him.

Jiang Yun didn't feel any guilt about robbing them.

Thus.

A bold and clear plan formed in his mind.

He glanced in the direction the two students had fled, the corners of his mouth curling up imperceptibly.

"Little Cloud Sparrow."

"Li?"

"Fly a bit higher and help me see where there are other helpful classmates nearby who need assistance? Especially... those wearing uniforms from other schools."

The Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow was highly intelligent and immediately understood Jiang Yun's meaning. It let out an excited chirp and turned into a streak of blue-black lightning, soaring into the treetops, its sharp gaze scanning the entire forest.

Soon, through the Soul link.

Jiang Yun received guidance from the Little Cloud Sparrow.

He moved, silently traversing the forest, and soon discovered three students from Leiting Middle School resting by a small stream.

Jiang Yun appeared before them like a ghost, the Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow on his shoulder emitting a faint Bronze pressure.

The three were startled at first, but after seeing it was Jiang Yun, their faces immediately showed a mix of jealousy and contempt.

Clearly, these few still didn't have information about Jiang Yun's true strength.

The leader was about to start mocking... but Jiang Yun interrupted directly, his tone flat but carrying unquestionable pressure: "Everyone, meeting is fate. Hand over the beast cores, and you can continue the competition. Or, I'll send you out."

"Jiang Yun! You're too arrogant! We didn't come looking for you, yet you, a Black Iron Eighth Tier, actually dare to come looking for us? From what you're saying, you want to rob us?"

One of them said angrily.

But before he could finish.

The Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow's wings vibrated slightly, and a stronger pressure descended, causing the three's beasts to instantly prostrate themselves on the ground.

The three's faces turned pale in an instant.

"What?"

"Bro... Bronze Rank?!"

"Where did it come from?"

Jiang Yun smiled calmly.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Hand over the beast cores, Spirit Stones, and treasures, or choose to be eliminated by me?"

Jiang Yun said very coldly.

The few people immediately realized.

The Jiang Yun before them was actually a Bronze Rank Beast Tamer.

They were instantly scared into begging for mercy.

And honestly handed everything over.

"Misunderstanding! Student Jiang Yun, it's all a misunderstanding! We'll give! We'll give!"

After harvesting a wave of points, Jiang Yun continued his patrol.

Half an hour later, the Little Cloud Sparrow found another target.

It was two Panshi students who had just worked together to kill a Black Iron Eighth Tier Vicious Beast and were excitedly butchering the spoils.

Jiang Yun followed the same procedure.

He encountered many more students from other schools.

None could escape Jiang Yun's poisonous hands.

Suddenly, the atmosphere inside the Misty Forest changed drastically.

Panic spread... "Bi... Big Brother?! Why is it you again?! We... we only just managed to hunt one!"

Jiang Yun encountered two students again.

One of them had clearly been robbed before!

He recognized Jiang Yun, and his legs were trembling.

Looking at that face that was about to cry, Jiang Yun also found it a bit funny, but his tone remained steady: "Oh, what a coincidence. You know the rules, right?"

That regular customer said with a sob:

"I know! I know! Big Brother, here... I'll give it all to you! Please, let us go. we'll go to the most crowded place right now and guarantee you won't accidentally meet us again!"

Jiang Yun took the beast core they had just obtained while it was still warm and waved his hand.

The two felt as if they had been granted a grand amnesty.

They ran faster than the Vicious Beast they had just killed.

They felt incredibly aggrieved in their hearts.

This Vicious Beast they just hunted.

Before the beast core could even get warm... it was snatched... Things like this.

Over the next hour.

Repeatedly occurred in different locations.

At first, Jiang Yun actively went looking.

Later, as the number of students he helped grew, panic began to spread through the forest like a plague.

"Have you heard? That Jiang Yun from Qingquan No. 1 Middle School is Bronze Rank! He robs everyone he sees!"

"It's more than just robbing! He specifically robs those from our two schools! Wang Laowu has been robbed by him three times!"

"Damn it, how are we supposed to play? Working hard for half a day isn't enough for him to snatch in one go!"

"Damn it! My points are still zero even now!"

"Let's go! Let's find Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lin! This Jiang Yun is only Bronze First Tier. If they take action, they can definitely eliminate this Jiang Yun!"

"This Jiang Yun has robbed so many people that he's already provoked public anger from both schools! When the time comes, we'll besiege him together! And those students from Qingquan No. 1 Middle School, we'll rob every single one we see!"

"Stop talking! That damn Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow is flying over! Run!"

Nearby, some people were still hunting Vicious Beasts.

Hearing this information, they were so scared they didn't even want the Vicious Beast anymore.

"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly! Forget the beast core!"

Elsewhere.

A few students were originally confronting each other over the ownership of a Vicious Beast, when someone suddenly shouted: "Stop fighting! Jiang Yun is coming this way!"

Both sides instantly called a truce.

With great tacit understanding, they fled in opposite directions in a panic.

For a time.

Jiang Yun is coming!

The Wind Thunder Cloud Sparrow is coming!

It became the most effective clearing slogan in the Misty Forest.

A perfectly good Beast Tamer elimination tournament had forcefully turned into a survival game of avoiding Jiang Yun.
