"As much as I like this reunion to go on, the other animals need to be put in place before any danger happens," Claire said although she was happily rubbing Xin's fur as well.
"Alright, I understand," Jin replied and beckoned the Panda to come with him. The transportation team were quite surprised since Xin was one of the more burdensome creatures for them to transport. Despite some coercing with treats and tricks to get it up into the truck, the team ultimately had to use seduction drugs to get it into the storage container.
Ironically, the Shenzhen Cultivation Zoo was relieved that Xin had been taken out of the equation since their zoo team believed that Panda Xin had been influencing the rest with its nonchalant yet ignorant attitude.
But with Jin around, Xin automatically listened to him with just a few hand signals and it flabbergasted the entire transportation team with the exception of Claire. Since she knew that Jin had a Spiritual Union with Xin, allow him and Xin to have an understanding beyond words.
However, she was curious how he did it in the first place.
"Maybe because I am the true Panda Clan ancestor? Teehee~!" Jin shrugged and let his tongue out, making Claire shake her head continuously for a few seconds. While it was a plain and simple answer, it was nothing further away than it being the truth.
Once the transportation team had completed their tasks, they promptly left the area and Jin could finally do his magic peacefully and without distraction. The System instantly analysed the type of animals, reptiles, and even insects and had data coded them so that the Cultivation Zoo instance would not only have the most suitable environment for them but also the type of food needed to procure for them to live a life of longevity. (Not to mention, eternally binding them into the System's service.)
Panda Xin was included as well but it seems it was not going anywhere away from Jin for quite a while. As Jin was using his handphone to check the progress, Xin was already hugging him from behind and leaning onto Jin lazily.
"Seriously this panda knows no manners at all." Claire smiled as she saw how Xin finally let go of its grumpy attitude when it was near Jin.
"By the way, is Xin a him or her?" Jin questioned as he did not really notice its gender.
"This very animal has performed a spiritual union with you and yet you have no idea at all. I am in some ways rather baffled by the way you do things Jin." Claire replied, adding that Xin is a male.
"Well, I'd rather you be baffled by this!" Jin immediately pressed a button on his Pandamonium App and all the animals that were in storage had been teleported by the System and into the Cultivation Zoo. In the meantime, the System also created a portal for Claire and Jin to enter so they could see the supposed wonders that Jin had created.
"Eh. It's bland. You sure you have made the right adjustments…" Claire said as they stood right in the middle of a grassland. Sure, it did simulate the Africa Savanah plains but there was nothing across the horizon.
"Well yeah?!" Jin pointed at the distance and they noticed a lion and his mates exploring the grasslands. Jin had purposely replicated the size of territory based on the animal's well doc.u.mented behaviour on the internet and research papers so while it might look empty, this was ideal for each of the animals within Jin's cultivation zoo. But at the same time Jin pointed to them, Xin suddenly let out a screech as if provoking the lion and lioness pack.
"I thought he teleported away?" Jin asked and the System replied saying that Xin wanted to spend more with his long lost partner.
"But I was just away for a few weeks… I even did a quick trip to the zoo once after the Chinese new year period to check on him!" Jin said as he pouted at Xin and pulled his ear.
"Perhaps, it wanted to look awesome trying to fight against a lion?" Claire commented while being at the sideline. She obviously wanted to create more trouble for Jin and Xin.
"Bah. Xin. If you want to fight, you better make sure you are on par with them! Don't you dare lose!" Jin said as he slapped Xin at the side of his torso. At the same time, he cheated by inserting a bit of his own Maqi into Xin, so he could handle the lion pack all by himself. However, Jin did dilute his Maqi since he believed his cultivation grade was way more than the Panda's natural cultivation grade.
That small boost of Maqi was sufficient to raise the capabilities of Xin tremendously as well as his confidence to take down the lion pack. Without much hesitation, Xin was already charging recklessly towards the alpha male but his faithful lionesses went to the front to protect their king.
Sadly, their sacrifices were in vain as Xin's blind charge slammed through their defences, leaving the lion to fend for himself. At that point, the Panda's screech got louder as Xin confronted the lion with his teeth and claw barred out.
They immediately went into a tussle as the tiger attempted to bite Xin's neck but the Panda's paw swiped through his opponent's torso, knocking the lion down to the ground. The lionesses which were brushed aside from the initial charge began to jump towards Xin but the Panda suddenly released a blast of black and white energy beam from its mouth, similar to Jin's Panda Yawning technique.
Jin was thoroughly surprised by the change in circ.u.mstances, thinking that Xin was merely muscle headed Panda that yearns to fight. But right in front of him, Xin was elated with his overwhelming opponents.
"User and Sub System User Claire, what you both are looking at is the ancient ritual for the strongest in the animal kingdom. This was made entirely impossible with modernisation but with the System's capability to separate animals and heal them back to the pink of health, this could essentially be the pushing factor for this Cultivation Zoo Instance to succeed tremendously." The System stated as the Panda screeched loudly at the remaining lioness for them to step back as he continued his fight with the King of the grasslands.
"This way, the animals would have a chance to grow stronger in a constant environment of strife and struggle, allowing cultivators and mages to flock and learn from them when available. Upon reaching a certain level, the System would also recommend the battle of humans against animals while ensuring that the animals do not mutate to be a monster." The System stated and this caused Claire to glee with bewilderment.
"Grandma Yuan did not waste her money keeping these animals, this will definitely be a hit when done right!! And if what the System said is true, I propose we have an animal arena once the animals reach a certain grade!" Claire commented while clenching her fists to see which animal was winning the tussle.
"We can call it the fight for the Animal Emperor!!"
