Chapter 166

"Good, then release your beast!"

Shi An immediately released a Blackfeather Wind Eagle, which appeared and began circling above the arena.

A Bronze-rank Yushoushi can only form contracts with two ferocious beasts; the third one is on Shi An's person.

Seeing the judge look at him, Su Yang released the Storm Eagle, which upon appearing immediately captured everyone's attention.

After all, its size was enormous—its wingspan exceeded twenty meters; that Bronze-rank Blackfeather Wind Eagle looked like a little brother beside it!

Su Su Liqun sipped tea, gazing at the Storm Eagle in the sky, his eyes filled with admiration.

As a Platinum-rank Yushoushi, years of experience told him that, whether in size or spiritual will, Su Yang's eagle companion was exceptional!

Many spectators who didn't understand asked:

"He only released one beast? Is Su Yang really a Bronze-rank Yushoushi?"

"Seems so!"

"This is definitely rigged!"

Many ordinary people had watched several days of matches and held a rough impression of Yushoushi strength tiers.

That was: the stronger the cultivator, the more beasts they would bring onto the field!

Many Yushoushi, upon stepping onto the stage, would almost always release all their beasts.

Strictly speaking, ordinary people's understanding wasn't wrong.

Some Yushoushi Gang members spoke up for Su Yang: "Not necessarily—maybe he's hiding his strength!"

Beside the arena, a young Bai Yin Yushoushi waiting for his match said to Feng Feng Guangyao: "Feng Guangyao, if you face Su Yang, be careful!"

Feng Guangyao frowned slightly: "Is he that strong?"

"You weren't in the Reclamation Corps, so you might not have heard of his name—he recently received the First Hero Medal of Daxingcheng, even if he earned it through strategy. But I heard he's also a Bai Yin Yushoushi, and very powerful!"

"Oh! So it's that Su Yang!" Feng Guangyao nodded. "But he's definitely no match for me. I remember he's only fourteen? I'm already nineteen. There's no way I'd lose to him. Three years from now will be his stage!"

On the arena, the judge asked: "Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Alright!"

"Then I declare the match begun!"

No sooner had the judge finished speaking than a scream rang out!

The Blackfeather Wind Eagle fell onto the arena.

"What?!"

"What the hell?!"

"It fell?!"

"So fast?!"

"I didn't even see what happened!"

"…"

Shi An stared at the Blackfeather Wind Eagle still writhing on the ground, completely incapacitated, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

He knew—he had likely misjudged.

This young man who had bypassed the qualifiers and directly descended into the semifinals…

Was truly incredibly strong!

"Rush Attack!"

At that moment, Su Yang charged straight at Shi An.

Shi An waved his hand, and an ice arrow shot straight toward the rushing Su Yang.

Everyone assumed Su Yang would dodge.

But to their shock, Su Yang didn't evade—he charged straight into the glinting ice arrow.

"Ding!" The sharp ice arrow struck Su Yang's shoulder and shattered into ice shards!

No penetration!

"Bang!" Su Yang delivered a heavy punch straight to Shi An's head.

Shi An was flung backward, rolled five or six meters away, and lay motionless.
