God of Pets-Chapter 299: Least Skilled At

"Pretty good." Chen Guan smiled, his gaze inadvertently sweeping through the crowd.

"Still want to eat something?" Jiang Qiemo asked. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Of course I want to eat, I really haven’t had anything yet and really want to eat something." Chen Guan said, rubbing his belly.

Jiang Qiemo took Chen Guan to eat, and while eating, he explained the current situation of the Human List to Chen Guan.

Because the Zhang Family’s three brothers chose to compete for the list this month, many top cultivators chose not to challenge the Human List this month out of respect for the Zhang Family, making this month’s challenge less difficult.

After eating, while following Jiang Qiemo back, Chen Guan bought a few betting tickets on the street, each betting on one of the Zhang Family’s three brothers taking first place.

Since he didn’t know which of the Zhang brothers would take first place, he bet on all three, just like betting on which horse would win. As long as one hits, he should still make some money.

"If you buy now, you won’t make much money. Everyone knows the Zhang Family’s three brothers are favorites, and too many people have bet on them to win, so the prize money will be small." Jiang Qiemo said.

"Winning a little is still good." Chen Guan smiled and pocketed the betting tickets.

When the two returned to the Human List’s fighting arena, they happened to see Gu Nanquan fighting on the ring.

Gu Nanquan constantly dodged with his body technique, which looked like a butterfly weaving through flowers, dazzling to the observers. His opponent’s swordsmanship was also impressive, but still failed to injure him.

"Gu Nanquan’s body technique is something, isn’t it?" Chen Guan said as he watched the fight.

"His body technique is great, but his best skill is his sword skill; his sword is very fast." Jiang Qiemo said, watching the fight.

"How fast?" Chen Guan asked in surprise, knowing it must be extraordinarily fast if Jiang Qiemo said so.

As Chen Guan said this, he suddenly noticed Gu Nanquan’s hand on the sword hilt seemed to move, but he didn’t see the sword drawn.

His opponent retreated several steps, a long blood stain appeared on his breastplate, and with a grim expression, he immediately forfeited and jumped off the ring.

"Such a fast sword!" Chen Guan squinted his eyes, unable to see Gu Nanquan draw and sheath the sword, truly impressed by the speed of the sword skill.

"Humans blink often, and in the blink of an eye, his sword is already slashed, so it seems as if his sword is too fast to be seen. As long as you don’t blink facing him, you can see him draw the sword." Jiang Qiemo said.

Chen Guan realized why he hadn’t seen him draw the sword; it happened right when he blinked.

"This is the true Blinking Killing Technique, way more formidable than your Blinking Divine Sword." Chen Guan joked with a smile.

"Blinking Divine Sword can achieve the same, but it’s ineffective against Secret Spirits because many don’t blink. Such sword skill is created to deal with humans." Jiang Qiemo said.

As they spoke, Gu Nanquan returned. He wasn’t challenging, but responding to a challenge, so his ranking remained fourth.

"Gu brother’s sword skill is incredibly fast." Chen Guan sincerely praised, as it truly was fast.

"Let Brother Farsee laugh at me, my sword skill is just passable, everything else is mediocre." Gu Nanquan humbly replied, then asked Chen Guan, "When will Brother Farsee start challenging? There’s less than six days left, getting into the top three needs quite some time, will you make it?"

"I’ll make it, let’s start now." Chen Guan said, heading to the ring’s edge where a small Tiger Head Stele showed the top hundred rankings.

Not having a ranking yet, Chen Guan could only challenge the last-ranked, the hundredth, and then challenge up one by one, not skipping ranks.

He pressed his hand print on the hundredth name, signaling his intent to challenge.

If no one challenged before him, Chen Guan could go on stage immediately. If there were previous challengers, he’d need to queue and wait until no one else was challenging.

Once challenged, the person on the ranking must respond, failing to enter the arena within fifteen minutes means their rank disappears, and the challenger takes their position, others automatically shift up.

With many challengers before him, Chen Guan had to return and wait.

After watching for a while, Chen Guan felt a bit disappointed.

Originally expecting a Dragon Tiger List challenge filled with experts, but after watching several matches, both sides’ skill were ordinary, not reaching the level of ordinary Celestial Court Army soldiers, some even much lacking.

This was partly due to the Zhang Family’s three brothers aiming for the list, causing the month’s challengers to be of lower average level.

However, these people daring to challenge indicated widely varying cultivation levels among cultivators here.

There might be many formidable individuals, yet equally numerous ordinary cultivators.

Actually, Chen Guan’s standards were too high; among some areas, those he viewed as ordinary cultivators were considered promising talents.

The reason they appeared weak is that even the most basic Celestial Court Army soldiers were meticulously selected; anyone entering the Reserve Team was a citywide talent before.

Combined with the Celestial Court Army’s provided resources and training, even basic soldiers are exceptional among ordinary people.

Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean there aren’t skilled individuals among ordinary people; on the contrary, many brilliant talents are scattered among countless cities of various Blessed Lands, with only a few challenging the Dragon Tiger List.

After watching more, indeed, a few strong ones appeared, mostly those already ranked, continuing upwards challenges.

Finally, it’s Chen Guan’s turn. As he stepped onto the stage, another person quickly approached.

Chen Guan naturally didn’t know who he was, pondering whether to ask the opponent’s name first to appear more graceful.

More friends mean more paths; if one day he had friends all over the world, perhaps he could call them to overturn the Ten Great Families and accomplish Chen Xinghe’s unrealized ambition.

Unexpectedly, that person attacked instantly with a sword.

Seeing this, Chen Guan also wasted no time, kicking the opponent to the ground, who didn’t get up for a while, immediately conceding defeat.

After winning, Chen Guan still needed to press his handprint to queue again, now ranked hundredth, capable only of challenging the ninety-ninth.

After pressing his handprint, Chen Guan went back to wait.

"Brother Farsee is truly formidable, extraordinary leg skill." Gu Nanquan returned the compliment, raising a thumb as he saw Chen Guan return.

"Leg skill is my least proficient skill." Chen Guan had no intention of being modest, saying with a smile.

Gu Nanquan didn’t expect Chen Guan to say that, hesitated a bit, then quickly laughed: "Then I’m truly looking forward to Brother Farsee’s performance."
