The next morning, everyone met up as promised and excitedly prepared to go to the Garden of Beasts.
Getting two Griffins was definitely an explosive event. Jiang Zhibei and Du Yu wanted to join in the fun. It would be even more glorious if they could ride the Griffins and soar in the sky. As for Le Jiajia, she didn't say anything, but she didn't reject Xia Fan and Fu You's good intentions.
"Jiang Zhibei, Du Yu, Le Jiajia, come back here! Your skin is almost as thick as the city wall of Hidden Demon City. Don't you know how embarrassed you were yesterday? Aren't you ashamed to go out? "Tu Lan appeared in time and reprimanded Jiang Zhibei and the others in a loud voice.
"But …"
"No buts! I don't care where Xia Fan and Fu You go, but from today onwards, the three of you will have extra lessons! From seven in the morning to ten at night, you are not allowed to go anywhere! "
Tu Lan seemed to be angry, but there was also a hint of pride in her voice. "For so many years, I have always been the mentor of the support team. There has never been a support team as strong as today. Xia Fan and Fo You have made history. You have to keep up! You can't be a burden to them! "
"What I want is to build a team that specializes in both combat and support!"
The support team had always had a low status because they didn't have much combat power and had to rely on others to protect them. In this year's support team, there were two guys with amazing combat power, Xia Fan and Fu You. Tu Lan felt that the opportunity had come. There was hope that he could build a special team that could both support and combat. Therefore, he was especially strict with Jiang Zhibei and the other two, hoping that they could improve a little. At least, they wouldn't be a burden to the team at critical moments.
Le Jiajia pursed her lips and followed Tu Lan to the training ground dejectedly. Before she left, she quietly waved at Xia Fan. It was obvious that she no longer viewed Xia Fan as an enemy. Perhaps it was because of Xia Fan's outstanding performance in yesterday's battle.
.....
Early in the morning, the Garden of Beasts was very lively. Last night, the Dongfang family and the Jia family each sent a Griffin, claiming that they lost to someone else in a bet. After the formalities were completed, someone would come to pick it up.
So the tamers and soldiers in the Garden of Beasts all came to watch. There were very few Griffins, and most of them were in the hands of the Demon Slayer family, the city lord, and the generals. The soldiers rarely saw Griffins. The Garden of Beasts mainly raised macaws, lightning owls, and other common flying beasts for transportation.
In all fairness, the scale of the Myriad Beasts Garden in Hidden Demon City was quite considerable. Mei Mei's Baishi City had a total of six Lightning Owls, and after the fierce battle with the mobs of the Great Lake District, most of the Lightning Owls were killed, leaving only the last two alive.
In the Garden of Beasts, there were more than seven thousand lightning owls. In addition, there were various large families, armies, and smaller gardens. The number of lightning owls in a remote area like White Stone City could not be compared.
However, the appearance of two Griffins still caused a huge stir in the Garden of Beasts. After all, Griffins were ranked third among all beasts. The highest rank was naturally the Dragon Clan, followed by the Lesser Dragon Clan. The status of Griffins was only slightly lower than the Lesser Dragon Clan. To be able to have a Griffin as a mount was definitely a symbol of status and was very eye-catching.
"These two Griffins are so fierce! Even our chief tamer doesn't dare to come close. "
"Exactly. Lord Lille fed them fish this morning, but they didn't even look at it."
"This should be the two families' doing on purpose. After all, no one would be happy to lose a mythological beast. So they deliberately sent the two fiercest Griffins here."
"Hehe, there's going to be a good show. If the person who won the Griffins couldn't subdue these two fierce beasts and had to send them back obediently, it would be embarrassing."
While people were talking about it, Xia Fan and Fu You had already arrived at the Garden of Beasts. They squeezed into the crowd and saw the two giant beasts in the cage. Even Fu You couldn't help but frown and feel nervous.
These two griffins were very impressive. They occupied the largest cage in the Myriad Beasts Garden by themselves. It was at least 500 meters tall and had a diameter of more than 1,000 meters. The sturdy alloy fence was as thick as a tree trunk, and a portion of the fence was already bent. The damage was quite fresh, and it should have been caused by these two griffins.
The wings of an eagle, and the fangs and claws of a lion. The two fierce beasts coldly glanced at the crowd with disdainful eyes, causing the elite warriors of Hidden Demon City to shudder. Everyone hid far away and did not dare to come close, as if they were afraid that the Griffins would suddenly run out and tear them apart.
"The species is not bad. It's a high-level divine species from the Upper Realm." Syd Loray's voice suddenly sounded in Xia Fan's mind. "The golden one has a purer bloodline, and the silver one looks smarter. Unfortunately, they are still underage and have not reached their strongest combat power."
Xia Fan's vision suddenly split into two layers. One was the real world, and the other was Syd Loray's back. For some reason, this old demonic dragon had a human body. Perhaps it was because he was some kind of soul power that allowed him to change his appearance at will.
"These two Griffins look fierce enough. They don't seem to be easy to deal with," Xia Fan muttered.
Syd Loray said disapprovingly, "Beasts and humans are completely different species. Although humans also have a tradition of respecting the strong, they are far from engraving their bloodline and strength into their bones like the beasts."
"Let me give you a simple example. If there is a Griffin that has reached the highest level of strength, even its parents and siblings will absolutely submit to it. Humans, on the other hand, are different. Even if you become the king of humans one day, your father can still spank you."
"Aside from strength, another important factor for beasts is bloodline. If there is a Griffin that has the strength to fight a dragon to a draw, isn't that already amazing? In human terms, it's like a loser's counterattack or a salted fish's turn. "
"But in the beasts, no matter how strong a Griffin is, it will always tremble when it sees a dragon. This has nothing to do with strength. It's the suppression of bloodline. Of course, the proud dragons will not admit that they are beasts like griffins. The dragons think that they are unique and are superior to humans and beasts."
Xia Fan nodded. "You are quite open-minded. You are also a dragon. Is it appropriate to judge your own kind like that?"
Sayd Loray's bitter laughter rang in his ears. His laughter was full of bitterness. "The reason why the Dragons are proud is because they have never failed. Their powerful talents and bloodline make them stand at the top of the food chain."
"As for me, I'm just a failed dragon. Although I still have some pride, it's not much. Creatures like dragons are destined to be like this. Only when they've tasted the bitterness of failure and let go of the pride in their hearts can they see the world more clearly."
"If you fall, just get up. You humans always make it sound so nice. But sometimes, if you fall too hard and break your bones, you really can't get up anymore."
"But lying on the ground is not without its benefits. It's more grounded. In the past, I always flew in the sky and looked down at the world. I didn't know that the world can also be seen from the bottom."
"That's very philosophical. It seems that you are a dragon with a story." Xia Fan sighed. Then he changed the topic and said with a smile, "Dragon with a story, since you have let go of your pride, why don't you help me subdue those two Griffins?"
"Are you kidding me?" Syd Loray said unhappily. "Even if I let go of my pride, I am still a dragon. Even if I have lost my pride, I still have my pride. Two third-tier Griffins are not enough for me to fight. At the very least, they need to be at the sub-dragon level to be worthy of my attention. "
"But you don't have to worry. Your ability is not for nothing. In fact, you have already used the Era of the Beast King once. It was just a coincidence that you didn't know."
"I will give you the Era of the Beast King ability. Even without me, you can deal with third-tier beasts like the Griffins. The key is that you have to learn how to use Soul Coercion."
"Soul Coercion?" Xia Fan did not understand.
"To put it simply, soul pressure is like killing intent. When you want to kill someone, your eyes will become sharp, and your temperament will become cold. This invisible spiritual power will spread through the air, and it will make your enemies feel a sense of danger."
"But humans and beasts are not the same kind. If you use your killing intent on a high-level beast, it will only resist and become even angrier. After all, as a human, you have no advantage over a high-level beast because of your bloodline."
"So, you have to activate a spiritual power that the beasts can sense and accept. You have to make the beasts realize that you are a higher existence than them. That way, according to the beasts' habit of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, they will naturally submit to you."
"That simple?" Xia Fan asked.
"It's not that simple. The beasts are not like you humans. Humans have a tradition of revolution. They often raise their arms and call for uprisings. They are willing to be cut into pieces and drag the emperor down from his horse."
"In the beasts, the strong are the strong, and the high-grade bloodline is the high-grade bloodline. When the weak meet the strong, they will naturally submit. This is the nature of the beasts. You humans, on the other hand, are the most classless race I have ever seen. Revolutions, uprisings, rebellions, and all these messy things are all created by you humans. We don't do that. We only recognize strength and bloodline."
Xia Fan was speechless. This demonic dragon's thoughts were quite profound. Humans were indeed an ordinary race, but they were unwilling to be left alone. Even the weakest of humans had the dream of being a hero. That was why wuxia novels had been passed down through countless human civilizations in the Boundless Universe.
