Chapter 22

Suppressing the Audience

Unicorns had different physiques from ordinary spirit beasts. If they were sick, it would be even more difficult to treat them.

“Master, I can help you,” the griffin whispered in Kong Rui’s mind. “I’ve accumulated enough spiritual power to last a day as an adult.”

“Little Lion, you’re awesome!” Kong Rui praised. At the same time, she had an idea.

Originally, when Kong Rui knew that she was going to enter the competition, she was still worried that not being able to summon the Thousand Gold Leopard would arouse the Li family’s suspicion.

Although she was already prepared to use a magical artifact, there was still some risk.

Now that the Little Lion could appear as an adult, the Li family probably wouldn’t fuss over the Thousand Gold Leopard!

“Patriarch, I also awakened a spirit beast. Because I’ve never seen such a spirit beast before, I’ve never dared to say anything,” she said as she released the griffin.

A white light flashed, and the griffin’s size was immediately revealed.

It was even bigger than Nie Yin’s Heavenly Wolf. Its huge wings were covered in golden, hard, metal-like feathers. Its front claws were pitch-black and firm, and its back claws were powerful.

The rest of it was covered in golden-brown fur. The long tail looked very powerful, as if it could split the earth in an instant simply by hitting the ground.

What was even more striking was its long eagle beak. It was so hard that it seemed to be able to crush diamonds.

It was also Kong Rui’s first time seeing a griffin in its adult form. She was also shocked. “Little Lion, you’re really amazing!”

The griffin raised its head proudly when it heard Kong Rui’s praise.

“It’s a griffin!” the patriarch exclaimed in disbelief, his volume rising a dozen degrees.

Mr. Li was even more speechless. He could only open his mouth and look at the huge ancient divine beast in front of him.

Did ancient divine beasts become life-bound spirit beasts these days?

There was Wen Qiong’s phoenix and Kong Rui’s griffin…

These juniors were really impressive!

“Why didn’t you tell Daddy earlier?” Mr. Li’s tone suddenly changed. He said ingratiatingly, “Daddy can arrange for someone to teach you how to tame this spirit beast!”

Kong Rui shrugged off the change in his attitude.

Li Han was so jealous that she was about to go crazy.

“There’s no time. Kong Rui, hurry up and go on stage.” As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Rui mounted the griffin.

Little Lion flew its master around in the sky above the field.

Huge shadows were cast across the crowd.

“Heavens, look at the sky!” Someone among the onlookers noticed the abnormality in the air.

“Is this a large flying spirit beast?” Someone narrowed his eyes to see what was flying in the sky through the blinding sunlight.

“Why have I never seen it before?! Look at how magnificent its wings are!” they all exclaimed.

Just as everyone was wondering what this spirit beast was, someone recognized Li Ling first.

“There’s someone sitting on it… It’s the Li family’s Li Ling!”

Nie Yin was originally relaxing in his seat to watch the entrance of the major families, but his pupils dilated when he saw the griffin in the sky.

Griffins were rumored to be natural-born combat divine beasts. Low-level griffins could even defeat other spirit beasts of a higher level.

Kong Rui stroked the griffin’s head. “Little Lion, you’re so impressive! Alright, we should go down!”

The griffin roared at the sky and charged straight down.

The people on the ground felt the intense pressure of the airflow. Those with lower levels even activated their protective shields.

When the griffin landed safely, it received applause from the audience,

“I hereby announce that the entrance of the Li family is the most outstanding one!”

“Indeed. It gets more interesting every year. This time, I want to bet on the Li family winning!”

Wen Qiong gritted her teeth as she looked at Kong Rui.

Ever since she visited Spirit Mountain, this little b*tch had been stealing her limelight!

But soon, Wen Qiong returned to her usual graceful and serene posture.

She adjusted her smile and stepped on the Bluebird. Dressed in light golden luxurious clothes, she walked towards the center of the Bestial Battle Arena.

“Welcome, everyone, to the imperial capital.”

The gazes of those below the stage were instantly attracted by the princess’ gentle voice.

“The princess really has sophisticated bearing.”

“As expected of a role model from the royal family! As expected, the major families still have to look up to the royal family!”

“As soon as the princess appeared, she instantly outshone those women from other clans. What a blessing for our empire!”

Although Wen Qiong looked calm, the mirth in her eyes deepened when she heard the discussion below.

How could the women of those clans be compared to her?!

So what if there were spirit beasts present?!
