The barghest is indeed a member of the Combat Race, which Lu Ye only found out after acquiring it. However, Lih Shang had already deduced it beforehand. It seems that this is not merely a matter of mutual understanding between rare races.
Sure enough, Lih Shang said, "An elder in our clan met a member of the Combat Race a long time ago, so our clan has records of such information. I observed the trials you participated in earlier, and they seem very much like those unique to the Combat Race. If you pass the trial, you can earn their allegiance."
Although Lu Ye had already gained the barghest, he didn't know much about the Combat Race, so he humbly asked for guidance, "Can you tell me about the Combat Race?"
Lih Shang was more than willing to oblige and began to explain.
