Although Lu Feng's intimidation had not worked, it had at least bought Grand Yama Demon Lion time to react.
Roar!
Along with Grand Yama Demon Lion's resounding roar, a wave of fiery energy condensed into half the form of a lion and blasted outward, knocking Thunder Flame Fire Lion back.
Grand Yama Demon Lion seized the opportunity and was about to leap forward to press its advantage.
Tang Yuan's calm voice sounded. "No rush!"
Those three words alone made the fiercely imposing Grand Yama Demon Lion halt its steps.
Clearly, it understood Tang Yuan's intentions.
Grand Yama Demon Lion began responding to Thunder Flame Fire Lion's attacks at a slower pace, reducing its own expenditure while gradually dragging Thunder Flame Fire Lion down.
Given the latter's current condition, a prolonged battle was even deadlier than poison.
Watching from the side, Lu Feng did not show much emotion. He had long grown accustomed to this kind of exchange between man and beast back in Beast Taming Ravine.
Yet the Beast Valley Disciples around the arena, even figures like Shen Tu Jiangshan, could not help revealing looks of surprise.
Discussion rose one after another:
"How is Senior Brother Tang's beast-taming ability so incredible?"
"How long has it even been? Didn't he only start taming this Grand Yama Demon Lion this afternoon?"
"How could he achieve a level of tacit understanding with a Battle Beast equivalent to the Spirit Observation Realm in such a short time?"
Their admiration for the strong surged forth. Because of Tang Yuan's performance, many younger disciples present now had looks of worship in their eyes.
Without realizing it, they had all acknowledged his status and began calling him "Senior Brother Tang."
As for the realms of tacit understanding between Beast Tamers and Battle Beasts mentioned in those discussions—
