Chapter 58: Has the Summoning System Also Mutated?

"What the heck is that?"

"Is that a flying summon beast?!"

"No way, how does he have two summon beasts? Did his summoning system level up to mid-tier?"

…

The crowd was in shock upon seeing the Wind Eagle, puzzled by its appearance.

But no one bothered to explain.

The four who had been arrogant moments ago suddenly halted in their tracks.

The Wind Eagle hovered mid-air, then dove straight at them.

Startled, they scrambled to dodge to the side!!

Whoosh~~~

As the Wind Eagle swooped down, it created powerful gusts of wind that blew the four away.

One of them was even thrown out of the competition area.

The remaining three quickly scrambled to their feet!

But the Wind Eagle wasn't done with them yet.

It swooped down again, extending its sharp claws toward two of them.

They didn't sit idly by and quickly cast their magic at the Wind Eagle!

However, the Wind Eagle's speed was too fast; they couldn't hit it!

Moreover, some of their magic didn't even affect the Wind Eagle!

In an instant!

The Wind Eagle swooped down and grabbed two people with its claws.

"Don't grab me!"

"I'm afraid of heights! Mom, I want my mom!!"

Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but cover their faces in embarrassment.

The remaining person, who specialized in earth magic, was helpless against the Wind Eagle, so the outcome was obvious.

Soon!

The Wind Eagle dealt with him as well.

In the teachers' viewing area, the professors were all surprised.

"Director Jiang, what's going on with this student Song Jie?" someone asked.

Old Deng and others also looked over. Song Jie was able to summon two beasts!

This defied logic!!

Moreover, they knew this wasn't a contracted summoning; it was still dimensional summoning!

Jiang Yunming saw so many people looking at him and smiled wryly.

He was actually quite confused himself because he had no idea Song Jie could summon an additional beast!

"Uh…"

Jiang Yunming pondered for a while and told them the truth.

"You're saying you don't know either?" Old Deng looked at him.

Jiang Yunming nodded.

At this moment, Dean Xiao also arrived, intending to ask Jiang Yunming.

Upon hearing this, he gave Song Jie a surprised look, pondering.

A professor remarked, "Summoning two beasts at once is unprecedented!"

Jiang Yunming pondered, quickly coming up with a plausible explanation.

He looked at the crowd, "His light system mutated, maybe his summoning system mutated too!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and reluctantly accepted the explanation.

Dean Xiao thought for a moment; he had also considered this answer earlier.

He explained, "He might have a natural mutation ability, affecting both the light system and the summoning system. And possibly any system he awakens in the future might also mutate!"

The crowd nodded in agreement.

"Once the Beast Battle Competition is over, we'll ask Song Jie and find out." Jiang Yunming suggested.

Everyone nodded again, knowing that Song Jie was a student of their Pearl Institute.

A teacher smiled, "If that's true, we've indeed found a treasure in our Pearl Institute!"

Song Jie's innate talent was already extraordinary, with his light system being comparable to mid-tier in the beginner tier!

And his summoning system in the beginner tier could summon two dimensional beasts!

The crowd fell silent, all agreeing with the teacher's words.

…

After a while, with the combined efforts of Song Jie and the Wind Eagle, they defeated many more opponents!

The number of people defeated had reached two hundred and forty, just ten away from two hundred and fifty!

However, everyone could see that Song Jie was exhausted, clearly at his limit.

"Send in five people!"

Song Jie felt he couldn't last through three consecutive rounds, so he chose to face five opponents at once, so he only had to hold out for two rounds!

"Song Jie has been hovering above, clearly trying to recover his magic energy. It seems he's utterly exhausted," a student beside Mu Nujiao speculated.

Mu Nujiao heard this and felt a renewed sense of tension.

One versus one hundred, one versus two hundred, but now it was one versus two hundred and fifty!

Song Jie kept creating miracles, surprising her time and again!

"Song Jie, you can do it!" Mu Nujiao thought, hoping Song Jie would complete the challenge of two hundred and fifty!

…

At the entrance of the tunnel, the students knew Song Jie was exhausted, seeing this as their chance.

One of them stepped forward, "Brothers, this is our moment of victory or defeat!"

"Defeat Song Jie!!"

Following him, four more stepped out.

This time, all five were attack mages, such as those specializing in lightning and fire!

Otherwise, beginner-level magic wouldn't affect Song Jie's Wind Eagle at all!!

There were so many of them; no matter how fast the Wind Eagle was, could it withstand their continuous bombardment?!

Song Jie looked at the Wind Eagle beside him, patting its wing and said:

"If we win this, there will be Beast Blood, which can help you break through to the mid-tier, possibly even to the warrior level!"

"But I need you to deal with this wave of people; I'll handle the final wave myself." Song Jie instructed.

Song Jie hadn't recovered yet, so he needed the Wind Eagle to deal with one wave of opponents, buying him time to recover.

"Coo, coo!!" The Wind Eagle called out, as if agreeing.

"It's up to you!" Song Jie stroked its feathers, then jumped onto its back.

At this moment, the five opponents entered the competition area, full of fighting spirit as they faced Song Jie.

"Begin the match!"

As the referee's voice fell, the opponents began casting magic at the Wind Eagle!

Lightning and fire intertwined, filling the air.

Song Jie, lying on the Wind Eagle's back, could smell its singed feathers.

The Wind Eagle drew an arc in the air, letting out a cry before swooping down at one of them!

The others didn't want to give it a chance to attack!

However, the Wind Eagle only had eyes for that student, dodging skillfully in mid-air!!

One of them predicted the Wind Eagle's path and cast "Flame Burst" towards it.

The flames exploded, engulfing the Wind Eagle's tail, but it didn't stop!

The lightning mage, seeing the Wind Eagle approaching, hurriedly cast lightning magic!

But the Wind Eagle deftly dodged, grabbing him with its claws and throwing him out of the competition area.

Seeing this, the others launched another attack!!

Fortunately, in this space, the Wind Eagle was the master of the air; as long as it flew high enough, they couldn't hit it!

But it didn't choose to sit idly by, seizing every opportunity to surprise them!

After several rounds, the Wind Eagle defeated two more, leaving only two on the field!

Seeing the injuries on the Wind Eagle, Song Jie felt a pang of guilt, "You should go back."
