"You've grown so fast, kid. I almost got crushed by you, and that would have been a huge embarrassment."
"I'll put you on a diet when we get back, so you don't turn into a golden pig from a golden eagle. People will start saying we're abusing animals." Li Shuangying, the golden eagle perched on Yang Lin's shoulder, was nagged by Yang Lin with a look of disgust.
Perhaps due to its secondary development or the awakening of its talents, Li Shuangying was noticeably larger than it had been two weeks ago.
In fact, all animals that had awakened their talents, regardless of the specific ability, were growing in size at varying rates.
However, Li Shuangying's growth was particularly striking. What once weighed only twenty to thirty catties now likely tipped the scales at fifty.
It might not be long before it could carry Yang Lin.
As Yang Lin and Li Shuangying conversed, all eyes in the venue turned towards them.
This was especially true for the out-of-town tourists who had never seen a golden eagle before.
"Wow, is that giant bird the park director's?"
"The park director's bird is so huge,"
"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting, child."
"What kind of bird is this? Why is it so big?"
"It looks like a golden eagle. I think I saw a video of this same golden eagle before."
"Yes, yes, now that you mention it, I remember there was a large golden eagle at the Xihong Zoo."
"It seems to have grown even bigger. It's true that with enough good food, even a bird can be fed this plump."
"So it wasn't the ibex contestant that was taken away earlier, but it hitched a ride with a colleague."
"Hitched a ride on an eagle."
"Hahaha, that ibex must be the first ibex in the entire ibex family to fly."
"Ibex: Mom, I've made it. I flew today."
...
As everyone gazed curiously at the golden eagle on Yang Lin's shoulder, the contestants who had been on the cliff face were also being brought back to the venue by vehicles sent by the organizing committee.
At this moment, they were still immersed in the grief of seeing the ibex contestant snatched away.
So much so that when they saw the lively ibex contestant back on the scene, their eyes widened in disbelief.
It wasn't until the organizing committee stepped in to explain that they finally understood the whole story.
However, a question also arose in their minds: Yang Lin usually only brought participating animals to the venue. This meant that the golden eagle was very likely also a contestant this time.
The audience shared this same question. When they learned that the golden eagle was also an animal from Xihong Zoo, they felt that something was not so simple.
Not long after this doubt arose, the organizing committee quickly provided the answer.
"Dear audience, if the previous rock-climbing competition tested courage and skill, then the next competition will require even greater courage and more skill."
As soon as the host finished speaking, a flood of questions popped into the audience's minds.
Could there be a competition that required more courage than rock climbing?
As soon as this thought emerged, the camera on the large screen switched again.
It shifted from the previous treacherous cliff face to a towering mountain peak.
While it lacked the previous danger, its height surpassed it.
Seeing this mountain peak, some audience members already had an idea, but they were still somewhat uncertain.
It wasn't until they saw the green bull flag fluttering high above the mountain peak that all their doubts vanished.
This was immediately followed by a surge of anticipation.
"The Ningnan City officials have really spared no expense this time, inviting the Green Bull Daredevil Team."
"Could the content of this competition be wingsuit flying?"
"I don't think this was on the previous race list. I'll boldly guess that Green Bull officials saw this competition's popularity and decided to sponsor a segment."
"If it is indeed wingsuit flying, then it truly requires more courage."
"So, is the human contestant this time an extreme athlete from the Green Bull Daredevil Team?"
"Those are high-level players of Blue Star OL, tough individuals who beat the game in one life."
"Those who didn't beat it are probably restarting now."
"I have a friend who plays extreme sports. He passed away last year. My son is starting to look more and more like him, and I suspect he's reincarnated as my son. I'm very pleased."
"What a coincidence. I also have a friend who plays extreme sports. I'm already planning to have a second child with his wife."
"You guys are amazing. Your friends truly live up to the Green Bull name."
...
As everyone speculated that the next competition would be wingsuit flying, a number of extreme athletes wearing Green Bull branded wingsuits appeared at the summit of the highest peak.
With the appearance of these extreme athletes, the audience erupted in cheers.
Wingsuit flying was an event that could not be seen in other sports competitions, and its thrill and excitement far surpassed that of the previous rock climbing.
Now that they had the opportunity to witness it firsthand, how could they not be excited?
As everyone watched the extreme athletes with excitement, Yang Lin patted the golden eagle on his shoulder.
The next second, the golden eagle took to the sky and flew towards the peak where the wingsuit flying was to take place.
Seeing this, everyone finally understood why the golden eagle was present at the venue.
What happened next did not deviate from everyone's expectations.
Just three minutes later, a familiar figure entered the frame of the competition broadcast.
Under the gaze of countless spectators, the golden eagle's massive form slowly moved to be on the same line as the several wingsuit athletes present.
The four humans and one eagle instantly became the focus of the entire venue.
If the Green Bull Daredevil Team were the extreme contenders among humans, then the golden eagle was the undisputed king of the sky.
And this golden eagle from Xihong Zoo was the king of kings.
What sparks would fly when these two competed in the same sky?
The next second, under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the four humans and the eagle leaped off the cliff edge of the peak simultaneously.
Below lay a chasm thousands of feet deep, and above, an endless blue sky.
As the camera's perspective shifted from the broadcast feed to the action cameras worn by the athletes, everyone felt a rush of adrenaline.
It was as if they themselves were soaring through the sky.
Just when everyone thought they had reached the peak of excitement, a camera shot focused on the golden eagle beside them.
This close-up shot of the golden eagle instantly gave the audience a taste of a visual feast.
