But it is a little lion!

Baili Hongzhuang's gaze also fell on the Flame Lion. The Flame Lion was an outstanding species among demonic pets, but it was not easy to form a contract with one.

Even finding a Flame Lion cub was already difficult, let alone sealing it into an egg. This showed how rare Nangong Aochen's Flame Lion cub was.

"It's just a little lion. What's there to be proud of?"

Xiao Hei sneered, completely indifferent. This guy could easily kill it in a minute.

Xiao Bai nodded, "When the tiger's not home, the monkey claims to be the king. This guy can only be proud in a place like this remote village."

Baili Hongzhuang listened to Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's tone and a faint smile appeared on her lips. These two guys had quite the attitude.

"Master, when you fight Nangong Aochen later, let me take care of that little lion directly."

Excitement flickered in Xiao Hei's eyes. It had been a while since it had last fought, and it was feeling a bit itchy.

Now that the master's strength was still not strong, it should not matter if it and Xiao Bai revealed themselves.

Before Baili Hongzhuang could speak, the White Lion protested, "If someone's going, it should be me!"

It had been waiting for this opportunity to establish its name!

Hearing this, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also smiled. It made sense; this was a good opportunity for the White Lion to establish its name, so they wouldn't compete with it.

Upon seeing the Flame Lion by Nangong Aochen's side, Gong Shaoqing's gaze also changed slightly.

With a slight sense, Gong Shaoqing knew that the Flame Lion's strength was not weak, and his heart was slightly moved. The royal family's heritage was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This Flame Lion was not very old but had already reached the cultivation level of the fifth stage of the Scarlet Realm. Just the improvement of the Flame Lion's strength must have consumed countless cultivation resources. They were truly wealthy.

"The match begins!"

With the referee's command, Nangong Aochen and Gong Shaoqing did not immediately make a move.

Nangong Aochen looked at Gong Shaoqing and, based on his understanding, knew that Gong Shaoqing was still at the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, not even in the same league as him.

Once they started, it would be a complete crush. He wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Since you don't have a contracted beast, my contracted beast won't make a move either."

Nangong Aochen spoke slowly, in the face of such an absolute difference in strength, there was no need for the Flame Lion to participate in the battle.

"Whatever."

Gong Shaoqing remained as cold as ever. For him, whether Nangong Aochen used a contracted beast or not had no effect at all.

Hearing Gong Shaoqing's response, Nangong Aochen was somewhat surprised.

Normally, ordinary cultivators should be quite anxious in such a situation, but he couldn't sense any of that from Gong Shaoqing.

On the contrary, Gong Shaoqing's indifferent attitude was quite peculiar.

"Let's start!"

Gong Shaoqing didn't waste any time. He knew that even if he used all his fighting power against Nangong Aochen, he would probably achieve nothing because the gap in strength between them was just too big.

However, he would still give it his all as long as he could consume a bit of Nangong Aochen's strength, making it easier for Baili Hongzhuang to deal with him.

That was the only thought he had after stepping onto the arena. Nothing else mattered anymore.
