Chapter 32: The Enchanting Beast, Beast Emperor Form – Nine-tailed Fox!
The sound of pouring rain echoed...
In the midst of the storm, Yinnan Mountain exuded an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
In the darkness, a few lights flickered.
The rescue team was still striving.
"Captain, there's nothing found over here."
"We've searched this area as well, no sign of anyone in distress."
"Report! This rain is too heavy, creating significant difficulties for the rescue operations. I'm afraid..."
It was 10 PM.
Su Ruyan stood on the cliff's edge, her expression more serious than ever.
Standing by her side, Chen Qinian held an umbrella for her.
As the homeroom teacher of Xiao Xingyu, Chen Qinian's brow was tightly furrowed, never relaxed.
"Dean, the longer this takes, the more dangerous it becomes for Student Xiao Xingyu."
"Old Chen, hire more people."
"The rescue funds are already over budget..."
"I'll cover any additional expenses myself."
Su Ruyan was willing to pay out of her own pocket to bring Xiao Xingyu back safely.
"Oh, and Old Chen, let the kids go back first."
There by the cliff stood a group of rain-soaked students.
These were all students from Class Three, Year One, waiting for Xiao Xingyu to return.
Wu Shengyou and Song Hu stood together, silently praying.
"My great-grandmother in heaven, if you have any spirit, please bless Brother Yu to return safely!"
"Oh, God, if Brother Yu can come back, I'm willing to pay any price, even sacrifice my virginity!"
Chen Qinian approached them.
"What are you doing here? Hurry back to Qinglong Academy and get some rest. There's class tomorrow!"
Wu Shengyou, with a stubborn expression, declared firmly, "Director Chen, I'll leave when Brother Yu returns!"
Song Hu echoed, "I want to wait for Brother Yu too."
"Me too!"
"I won't leave until I see Xiao Xingyu back!"
"I want to stay and wait for Xiao Xingyu!"
The unanimous stance of all the classmates showed that Xiao Xingyu had already become the backbone of this class.
Chen Qinian shook his head and sighed, "You rascals..."
Su Ruyan's voice came through.
"Old Chen, don't persuade them anymore. If they want to wait for Xiao Xingyu, let them wait."
The sound of rain turned into a continuous roar.
The murky night sky seemed split by countless cracks, with the downpour cascading like a waterfall onto the earth.
In Class Three, Year One, apart from Xiao Xingyu, 59 classmates stood together.
The pouring rain soaked their clothes, the cold wind pierced their bones.
These youthful faces, drenched like drowned rats, looked rather pitiful, but no one would laugh at them.
Chen Qinian's lips curled slightly.
"Xiao Xingyu, you really are something. It's only been a few days since the school started, and you've already got the whole class worried sick about you..."
Cohesion is also a measure of a strong person.
A strong person is never short of like-minded companions.
Xiao Xingyu never deliberately tried to win over these classmates, yet they followed him instinctively.
This is the charm of a strong personality.

Murong Residence.
Bathroom.
In the bathtub lay a beautiful woman with white hair, her private areas concealed by bubbles, revealing only her pristine swan-like neck and seductive shoulders.
Murong Xinxin gazed out the window.
The rain seemed endless, tirelessly falling.
The sound of thunder was like the continuous tolling of a great bell.
Murong Xinxin dazed for a moment, then picked up the phone beside the bathtub, opening the browser.
After browsing the latest news, Murong Xinxin's brows slightly knit.
According to the latest media reports, Xiao Xingyu was still missing, his fate unknown.
"That guy... is he really dead?"
Murong Xinxin had never been interested in men.
But now, Xiao Xingyu's voice and smile constantly floated in her mind.
---
Below the cliff.
In a certain cave.
Xiao Xingyu, gravely injured, dragged his wounded body, almost crawling into the cave.
Inside, he leaned against the rock wall, gasping heavily.
"The rain has soaked my wounds, they'll probably get infected."
"The space ring didn't have any anti-inflammatory medicine prepared, I'll have to endure."
The Hell Gale Wolf was severely injured and needed time to recuperate within the Beast Mark, unable to be summoned again for the time being.
Outside the cave, the rain never ceased, with the constant threat of mudslides.
Xiao Xingyu had no other choice but to spend the night in the cave, waiting until dawn to find a way to seek help.
Once calmed down, Xiao Xingyu replayed the entire trial process in his mind.
"Logically, there shouldn't be fully-formed magical beasts appearing in Yinnan Mountain."
"Someone must have abused their power and secretly released a fully-formed beast in Yinnan Mountain..."
"It must be someone from the higher-ups at Qinglong Academy!"
The top leaders of Qinglong Academy were none other than Dean Su Ruyan and Vice Dean Wang Dongsheng.
"I haven't had any conflicts with Dean Su, and she seems to value me."
"It must be the Wang family causing trouble!"
Xiao Xingyu was certain,The mastermind behind releasing the fully-formed magical beast was none other than the Wang father and son.
At this moment, a fierce glint of killing intent flashed in Xiao Xingyu's eyes.
"Wang Yan, since you tried to take my life this time, don't blame me for being ruthless..."
Xiao Xingyu always avenges his grudges and never shows mercy, so Wang Yan must die!
Suddenly, a chill swept through Xiao Xingyu's entire body.
Instinctively, he turned around, and a claw grasped his throat!
"There's someone else in the cave?!"
At that moment, Xiao Xingyu felt as if his soul was leaving his body, with death just a breath away.
"Cough cough cough~"
His throat was under intense pressure, causing Xiao Xingyu to cough violently, his handsome face turning a purplish hue.
Even though his vision was blurry, he could barely make out the creature in front of him.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't a monster, but a monstrous beauty.
The beauty was half-human, half-beast, with a human-like body and face. Behind her were nine fluffy purple tails, and two fox ears stood atop her head.
On the brink of death, the Demon God's Eye activated automatically.
A string of data appeared before Xiao Xingyu's eyes.
**[Name]:** Nine-tailed Fox
**[Level]:** Beast Emperor Form (First Tier)
**[Bloodline]:** Nine-tailed Fox Clan (Mythical Bloodline)
**[Talent 1]:** Eye of Disaster (Upon activation, can petrify any enemy of lower level with a single gaze.)
**[Talent 2]:** Nine-tailed Fox Fire (Directly burns the enemy's soul, adding a terrifying mental attack.)
**[Attributes]:** Beast-type, Superpower-type, Fire-type
**[Loyalty]:** 0
**[Skills]:**
1. Tailed Beast Bomb
2. Bloodthirsty Eye Crossbow
3. Nine-tailed Burning Heaven Statue
**[Hidden Evolution Path]:** Nine-tailed Fox → Ten-tailed Heavenly Fox → Ten-tailed Dragon Fox...
**[Habits and Preferences]:** ...
"So it's a beast-type magical beast, the Nine-tailed Fox!"
"Damn, this is a Beast Emperor Form magical beast, I have no chance to resist!"
A Beast Emperor Form magical beast possesses earth-shattering power.
Moreover, the Nine-tailed Fox's bloodline quality is [Mythical].
To confront a beast of this level requires at least a Seven-star Beast Master.
To defeat it, an Eight-star Beast Master would be necessary.
Currently, Xiao Xingyu is just a One-star Beast Master.
With the Hell Gale Wolf severely injured and unable to be summoned temporarily, he couldn't even be considered a One-star Beast Master right now.
"Human, since you've seen my face, I have no choice but to kill you."
The Nine-tailed Fox's voice was filled with icy coldness.
In this perilous moment, Xiao Xingyu found a sliver of hope.
The Demon God's Eye had unveiled the Nine-tailed Fox's secret!
**[Beast Status]:** Severely injured and near death, can last at most half an hour.
**[Beast Injury]:** Heart meridian damaged, blood and energy reversed...
**[Pathology Analysis]:** Injured by a purebred Dragon Clan member, dragon power invaded the body.
"So this beast is severely injured too, and will die in half an hour!"
"Wait!"
"Injured by a purebred Dragon Clan member..."
"Purebred Dragon Clan, weren't they supposed to be extinct 100 years ago?"
This indicates that the recorded "Dragon Slaughter Battle" from a century ago in textbooks has hidden truths.
"Pu~"
The Nine-tailed Fox coughed up a mouthful of blood, splattering across Xiao Xingyu's face.
The opportunity arrived!
"Cough cough cough~" Xiao Xingyu, with a hoarse voice, shouted desperately, "Mother Fox, I can heal you!"
