A mysterious smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face as he looked at the lion.
The lion couldn't help but shudder at the sight of this smile, as if it were a child weighing a few thousand kilograms.
"Shrink down a little and come out of the pit. Take out your identity jade badge for everyone to study."
Gu Xuan issued an order to the lion.
The lion didn't dare to disobey, and its body shrank down at a rate discernible to the naked eye.
Finally, it shrank down to the size of a human before leaping out of the pit and crouching down in front of Gu Xuan and Dongfang Xue.
It opened its mouth slightly, and an identity jade badge flew out and hovered in front of Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan gave the lion a kick.
"You're the leader of a Great Beast of the intermediate Profound Sage Stage, how can you be so disgusting?"
The lion wore an aggrieved expression.
Hiding treasures in their stomachs was a habit that the Golden Lion Clan had since ancient times.
For this reason, they had even refined a portion of their bones into spatial spirit treasures.
Although the space wasn't very big, it was still large enough to store a small amount of extremely precious treasures.
Their identity jade badges were stored in their spatial spirit treasures, not in their stomachs. What did this have to do with disgust?
Unfortunately, no matter how aggrieved the lion was, it didn't dare to refute this.
Gu Xuan shook his head and unleashed a small water elemental technique to summon a bit of clear water. He washed the lion's identity jade badge a few times before holding it in his hand.
All of the identity jade badges were identical in appearance.
The only differences were their names and rankings. There wasn't much to see.
Gu Xuan spread open his left hand, and his identity jade badge lay in his palm.
Dongfang Xue asked curiously, "How do you plan on doing this?"
Gu Xuan smiled. "Let's start with exchanging identity jade badges.
I want to see what would happen if I kept the identity jade tablet of the Golden Lion and gave my identity jade tablet to the Golden Lion.
Will our rankings change because of this? "
Dongfang Xue's brows furrowed slightly.
"It can't be that simple, right?
Why do you need to find someone else for this kind of experiment? Why don't you just swap places with me? "
Gu Xuan sized up the lion with a glance and handed over his identity jade token.
"No, no, no. This is an experiment, so there must be a certain amount of risk involved.
If you're going to screw someone over, you should screw someone else over.
At the very least, I don't care if this lion dies. "
Gu Xuan's words were very straightforward.
The brocade-fur lion stretched out its paw and was about to take the jade token from Gu Xuan's hand. When it heard Gu Xuan's words, it couldn't help but tremble.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should take it or not.
Of course, the hesitation only lasted for a few moments.
Under Gu Xuan's sharp gaze, the brocade-fur lion knew very well that it could not decide whether to accept or not.
Being weak was such a tragedy.
The brocaded lion trembled as it received Gu Xuan's identity jade tablet. It looked as if it had received a hot potato, looking very cautious.
Gu Xuan observed the two identity jade tokens. No matter how small the changes on them were, he could see them clearly.
"No change at all?"
Dongfang Xue was a little disappointed as she stared at the jade badge in Gu Xuan's hand.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he exclaimed in surprise.
As if to oppose her words, the jade token really did change.
On the front of the jade token in Gu Xuan's hand, the four words "brocade-fur lion" became "Gu Xuan".
On the other side, the three words "24" became "1".
Similarly, on the paw of the brocade-fur lion, there was no trace of Gu Xuan's identity jade token. It had completely become the identity jade token of the brocade-fur lion.
The identity jade tokens in the hands of the man and the beast seemed to have been exchanged out of thin air.
"It seems that exchanging identity jade tokens won't work."
Gu Xuan rested his chin in his hand.
He wasn't too disappointed. It was normal to fail.
If the experiment succeeded on the first try, there would be too little sense of accomplishment.
Dongfang Xue pondered for a moment.
"Does the identity jade token also need to recognize an owner?
It's like a spirit treasure. It doesn't necessarily need to be exchanged to be used.
Does it need to be canceled first, then exchanged, and then recognized by each other? "
Gu Xuan nodded.
"It sounds very reasonable, but the identity jade token is directly bound to the expert corresponding to the ranking. It doesn't go through the process of recognizing an owner.
But there's no harm in trying.
Brocade-Fur lion, let's exchange identity jade tokens again.
After the exchange, immediately drip a drop of blood on the jade token.
Understand? "
The brocade-fur lion hurriedly nodded.
Thus, Gu Xuan and the lion exchanged identity jade tokens again and immediately tried to use blood to recognize an owner.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
The name and ranking of the identity jade tokens in their hands changed again.
The second experiment was declared a failure.
Dongfang Xue couldn't help but kick the lion.
"It's actually so difficult to make you number one?
You're so disappointing! "
The corner of the lion's mouth twitched.
This was clearly using him as a guinea pig for an experiment, alright?
Besides, what did this matter have to do with him being competent or not?
The lion was angry and aggrieved, but it didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"The ranking can only be obtained through battles.
If I lose in a battle, my ranking will naturally belong to someone else. "
Dongfang Xue rolled her eyes at Gu Xuan.
"Isn't that obvious? But the point is, do you think this lion can beat you?
Even if you ask it to fight you now, it won't dare to?
Moreover, the concept of [Loss] and the boundary of judgment were too vague.
How can this identity jade token determine that you've lost a battle?
As long as you're not dead, I'm afraid it can't be determined, right? "
Jin Mao Lion's head was lowered.
"Lord Gu Xuan, you can stab me to death with a single finger.
I don't dare to fight you! "
As soon as Gu Xuan saw the Silver-haired Lion trembling with fear, he became angry.
His plan to let the lion fight him and then pretend to lose to it would be declared a failure before it even started.
Of course, whether the lion was timid or not, and whether it had the courage to fight him was not the crux of the problem.
The crux of the problem was that the concept of [Loss] that Dongfang Xue had just mentioned was too vague.
This wasn't an arena battle where there were all kinds of rules. If one party fell to the ground and didn't get up, regardless of whether it was real or fake, they would be judged to have lost.
Or, they could knock the opponent off the arena.
This was the final ranking battle of the Holy Rankings. Apart from "killing" one party, there really didn't seem to be a good way to determine the winner.
However, he couldn't let someone kill him, right?
Or should he try to fake his death?
With this in mind, Gu Xuan made a decision.
"Let's go and find someone else to experiment with.
I think maybe I can try dying once. "
It was impossible to expect this Golden Lion to put on a show with him.
This guy was already scared out of its wits and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They could only find someone else.
Whoosh whoosh! Gu Xuan and Dongfang Xue turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon.
