"What a pity about Lu Yuan."
The deans of the other colleges sitting in the stands shook their heads regretfully.
Although they were somewhat displeased with the Jiang family's rash interference in the joint entrance examination, it was clear that the Jiang family's power had successfully intimidated them.
Even if the major academies joined forces, the Jiang family of the Myriad Realms Heaven would not fare well, since the Jiang family is merely one force within the Myriad Realms Heaven. However, if the major academies joined forces, they could almost unite all the forces openly present on the Ling'an Continent.
However.
it is a pity.
The various colleges are not a unified entity; most of them have chosen to protect themselves.
Sacrificing Lu Yuan, who had nothing to do with them, to quell the anger of the so-called Jiang family was the wisest choice for them. Some people, such as Zhu Xiucheng, the dean of Ruifeng Academy, were even more eager to add fuel to the fire and make Lu Yuan die sooner.
After all, with Lu Yuan dead, Longteng Academy, having lost a major key player, naturally couldn't compare to Ruifeng Academy.
Seeing the Tyrant Bear charging towards him, Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Moonlight Slash!"
"Swift Wind Flash!"
Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
Clearly, not everyone was intimidated by the power displayed by the Jiang family. Perhaps because young and fearless, Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng chose to stand by Lu Yuan's side.
"Lu Yuan, we're here to help you!"
Cui Peng said, clenching his fist.
"You...don't need to do this."
"Get out of here! This has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing the two of them, Lu Yuan was very pleased, but he immediately shook his head.
The Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf were already weaker than the Tyrant Bear, and they were injured by Cheng Li's strange beasts during the joint exam. They simply didn't have enough time to fully recover.
Besides, even if the Night Panther and Silver Moon Wolf are at their peak, what can they do to the Tyrant Bear?
Tyrant Bear is not the Ironback Rock Bear from Sharp Edge Academy.
"We are teammates."
Qiao Xingxing looked at Lu Yuan and said.
"We probably can't help you much..."
"However, we can no longer let you fight alone."
"That's right, you're someone I, Cui Peng, acknowledge!"
"Dark Night Leopard, all-out attack, target—Tyrant Bear's Beastmaster!"
"Silver Moon Wolf, Moonlight Slash!"
Both the Dark Night Panther and the Silver Moon Wolf are relatively agile beasts.
They seemed like two hot-blooded fools, charging straight at the Tyrant Bear. But just as they were about to meet the Tyrant Bear's giant paw, the wolf and leopard immediately changed direction, bypassed the Tyrant Bear, and charged towards Jiang Liu behind them.
"Um?"
This scene happened too suddenly. Jiang Liu didn't take the wolf and leopard, which were not even at the level of a phantom god, seriously at all. As a result, he didn't have time to react and was directly hit by their sneak attack.
The silvery-white crescent moon struck Jiang Liu, and the massive explosion kicked up clouds of dust, obscuring the figures of the wolf, the leopard, and Jiang Liu.
"It worked?"
"Qiao Xingxing, you really are amazing."
Cui Peng said excitedly.
When the two were about to make their move, Qiao Xingxing realized that the Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf alone could not possibly have any effect on the menacing Tyrant Bear.
Indeed, that was the case. Faced with the full-force attack of the two beasts, Jiang Liu had no intention of letting the Tyrant Bear dodge.
The gap between a Celestial Evolution and a Divine Illusion is as vast as an chasm. It's already an anomaly that someone like Lu Yuan has appeared in the entire Ling'an Continent. If Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing could both reach Lu Yuan's level, the Ling'an Continent wouldn't just be a low-level realm in the eyes of the myriad realms of celestial beings.
However, Jiang Liu was different.
Generally speaking, beast tamers are much more vulnerable than the beasts they tame.
Even for beast tamers who have cultivated their skills, it is rare for a beast tamer to face a beast tamer of the same rank.
Moreover, although Jiang Liu's cultivation was impressive, he had just been overconfident and fought Lu Yuan head-on, and had already been injured by Lu Yuan. Qiao Xingxing and Cui Peng's strength was far inferior to Lu Yuan's. However, by taking advantage of the opportunity created by Lu Yuan, utilizing the mobility of the Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf, and Jiang Liu's underestimation of the two, they finally completed this sneak attack.
"No, that's not right."
Unlike Cui Peng, who was somewhat excited, Qiao Xingxing was much calmer.
She did not celebrate the successful sneak attack—because the Tyrant Bear in front of Lu Yuan was still standing in the same spot, releasing its immense pressure.
"Cough, cough."
"Good lad."
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Jiang Liu's figure was revealed inside.
Just as Qiao Xingxing had planned, their sneak attack was indeed successful.
Jiang Liu's clothes were tattered into strips, making him look quite comical, like a homeless person on the street, without any trace of the demeanor of a powerful Illusion God.
On his chest, there was a scarlet scar, still slowly dripping blood—a wound left by the Silver Moon Wolf.
Jiang Liu himself did not expect that he would be injured twice in one day by this low-level Heaven Evolution novice.
"What a sorry sight, Sixth Brother."
"Pah, shut your stinking mouth. I was just careless."
Jiang Liu spat out a mouthful of blood.
He tossed the Dark Night Leopard in one hand and the Silver Moon Wolf in the other.
"Night Leopard!"
"Silver Moon Wolf!"
Seeing their dying beast, Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing were shocked and rushed out without thinking.
"Don't go over there, Red Phosphorus."
"Endure~"
Seeing this, Red Phosphorus immediately rushed out, nimbly bypassing the Tyrant Bear and bringing back the Night Panther and Silver Moon Wolf.
Cui Peng and Qiao Xingxing's sneak attack was indeed successful, but Jiang Liu's strength still exceeded their expectations.
Although he suffered a minor injury during his fight with Lu Yuan, it didn't affect Jiang Liu much. Even though he was ambushed by the Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf, he managed to withstand the damage from the two beasts and launch a counterattack.
The two beasts were already in poor condition, and with this sneak attack, they were going all out. They didn't expect that Jiang Liu would not choose to defend under such circumstances, but instead choose to attack while enduring their attacks. The two unsuspecting beasts were easily defeated by Jiang Liu.
"I owe you a favor."
"Give this medicine to the Night Panther and Silver Moon Wolf, and take them away from the battlefield. Leave the rest to me."
Qiao Xingxing nodded, and Cui Peng didn't insist any further. Unlike Jiang Liu and Lu Yuan, their combat power lay entirely in their beast taming abilities. Now that the Dark Night Leopard and Silver Moon Wolf had lost their fighting power, they couldn't offer any more help.
