The two Wind Flame Lion Kings, having successfully broken through to the Monarch Rank, let out roars of excitement toward the sky.

In their voices, they vented the unwillingness and helplessness of being stuck at the limit of the Commander Rank for many years.

After trying various attempts, they were unable to break free from the shackles originating from their bloodline limits. Just when they were about to despair and resign themselves to their fate, a turning point appeared.

After repeated experiments and consuming bottle after bottle of potions, they finally broke through to the Monarch Rank with the help of that human who made them feel very comfortable.

Furthermore, based on their understanding and the words that human had spoken during this time, they also knew that the situation that had occurred to them was not an exception; it could be replicated and achieved again in their kin.

This also meant that for their kin and their descendants, the limit in the future would no longer be the Commander Rank, and there would no longer be no path forward.

This was not just for them as individual spirit beasts or a single group, but for the entire Wind Flame Lion species.

It could be said that that human was the benefactor of all spirit beasts in their entire species who aspired to break through to a higher stage, because he had opened up a new path for them.

Thinking this way, the two Wind Flame Lion Kings, having vented the emotions in their hearts, looked at each other and slowly walked toward Xu Yan.

The two pure white big lions arrived in front of Xu Yan and slowly lowered their bodies to the ground.

A somewhat hoarse and unpracticed voice appeared in Xu Yan's ears.

"Human, thank you for helping us; you will be the most honored guest of our tribe."

As the words of the two Wind Flame Lion Kings fell, Xu Yan felt as if something had appeared on him along with their words, though this feeling was somewhat mysterious.

Regarding this, Xu Yan cast his gaze toward Mo Yi on the side once again.

"As the first spirit beasts within the Wind Flame Lion King species to unlock their own bloodline limits and reach the Monarch Rank, the moment they broke through to the Monarch Rank, they occupied a large portion of the luck of the Wind Flame Lion King species. This is also why they were able to receive the Heaven and Earth Baptism as soon as they broke through.

Coupled with the fact that your research results have indeed strengthened the luck and future of this species, making you a benefactor to the entire species, their promise was directly inscribed into the luck and inheritance of the Wind Flame Lion King.

From today on, you will enjoy a portion of the luck of the Wind Flame Lion species, and it is the kind that the other party unilaterally bestows; it will not cause any backlash due to the weakening of this tribe, at most it will just mean you no longer enjoy the luck.

Similarly, in the future, as long as you do not do anything that endangers the survival of this species, whenever you encounter spirit beasts of this species, they will hold you in full respect and gratitude. Even if you are in a hostile state, after they show courtesy before resorting to force, they will be more inclined to change opponents."

Listening to Mo Yi's introduction, Xu Yan finally understood that there was such a great benefit mixed into the other party's expression of gratitude and promise.

However, regarding this kind of reward obtained through his own efforts and research, Xu Yan did not think of refusing.

Just when Xu Yan wanted to speak to respond, the two Wind Flame Lion Kings actually assumed a posture of submission toward Xu Yan.

At the same time, the hoarse voice appeared in Xu Yan's ears again.

This time, the words spoken were obviously much more fluent than before.

However, this was not the point; the point was the content of the words.

"As a token of gratitude, we wish to acknowledge you as our master and follow you in the future; we hope you can accept us."

Hearing the content of the two Wind Flame Lion Kings' words, Xu Yan suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

What did he just hear? The two Monarch-level Spirit Beasts in front of him had actually said they were willing to acknowledge him as their master and follow him.

Those were Monarch-level Spirit Beasts; on the Blue Star, they could truly be considered to have entered the realm of the strong, and in the vast majority of non-first-tier cities, they would belong to the first echelon of Monarch-level Spirit Beasts.

It must be said that upon hearing this, Xu Yan was tempted.

However, thinking of his current strength, and the situation where the other party might just be carried away by the gratitude of breaking through to the Monarch Rank with his help, Xu Yan's heart, which was originally somewhat burning, suddenly calmed down.

Although he had figured it out, he still spoke with some difficulty because of his heartache: "You should still consider it carefully; I am currently just a General Rank Beast Tamer, and even if my three spirit beasts joined forces, they couldn't even beat you before you broke through.

I do not want you to make a rash choice because of momentary gratitude and excitement."

Listening to Xu Yan's words, one of the Wind Flame Lion Kings shook its head and said: "Our choice to follow you is not the result of a hot-headed moment.

Although there is a certain factor of gratitude in this, it is more because of the time we have spent with you and being convinced by your ability.

Furthermore, we believe that your future strength will definitely not stop here.

In the future, we may not necessarily be able to keep up with your pace and walk with you all the way, but we can still rely on our meager strength now to guard and witness your growth."

Regarding this Wind Flame Lion King's words, the other one nodded to show its agreement.

Listening to the Wind Flame Lion King's sincere words, before Xu Yan could express his stance, Mo Yi's words from the side reached Xu Yan's ears first.

"Xu Yan, since they have said so, I think you can accept them. As spirit beasts that have passed the Heaven and Earth Baptism, they possess considerable combat power and can protect your path while you have not yet grown in your early stages.

Although the Azure Sky Luan by your side is also very strong, it is ultimately in a special state and should not take action too often; in this situation, having these two Wind Flame Lion Kings around would also be safer."

Hearing Mo Yi directly point out its existence, the figure of the Azure Sky Luan appeared beside Xu Yan, nodded at Mo Yi, and then turned its gaze toward the two Wind Flame Lion Kings on the ground, pressing its aura directly over them.

Under the pressure of the powerful aura, the two Wind Flame Lion Kings, which were already kneeling on their front legs, felt a weight on their bodies, as if something wanted to force them completely onto the ground.

The object they were willing to submit to was Xu Yan, not this bird-like spirit beast.

Even if this spirit beast's strength was greater than theirs, and it was also guarding Xu Yan.

In response, the fur on the two Wind Flame Lion Kings completely stood on end, and they struggled fiercely against the Azure Sky Luan's aura, driving all their strength to try to stand up under the pressure of the other's aura.
