God of Pets-Chapter 405: A Reciprocal Battle
Everyone was at a loss for words. Is it really possible to negotiate with a Secret Spirit like this? ππ£πππ ππππ¨π―ππ.ππ¨π
However, they somewhat understood Chen Guan. It was obvious that Xiu Jie Ming wanted to send Chen Guan to his death, so it made sense for Chen Guan to use any means necessary to save his life.
But Secret Spirits arenβt so easily swayed. Whatβs with this βjust go easyβ? Does he think this female Yin General is here for training practice?
Hu Quan sneered inwardly: "This Chen Guan, to save his life, will stop at nothing, not even caring about face. Itβs a pity; his crafty words might work on women like Miss Ji, but they wonβt be of any use against a Secret Spirit."
"Alright." The female Yin Generalβs response left everyone stunned, and Hu Quan stood there, dazed and speechless for a moment.
"Is this even possible?" Everyone wore strange expressions.
If the female Yin General really went easy, then Chen Guan might escape with his life.
But some doubted whether the female Yin General would honor the agreement and just go easy.
"Itβs a deal." Chen Guan quickly agreed.
He did not believe he would lose and knew that Xiu Jie Ming brought him up here to give him an opportunity to enter the Emperorβs Tomb, not to send him to his death.
However, Chen Guan sensed a pair of eyes watching him the entire time, and they didnβt belong to the Bright Corps, so he did not want to reveal too much.
The female Yin General nodded and stood there without initiating an attack.
Chen Guan formed a Blood Hand Seal and struck towards the female Yin General, his mind racing to figure out how to defeat her.
The female Yin Generalβs strength was terrifying; even Meng Xian, a level 30 cultivator, was easily defeated. It was impossible to defeat her by conventional means.
And revealing all his power was not something Chen Guan desired either.
The less his enemies knew about him, the safer he would be.
After delivering a palm strike, Chen Guan expected a fierce counterattack, considering the female Yin Generalβs formidable strength and higher level. Chen Guan was far behind in level, relying solely on skills and primordial energy.
Yet, unexpectedly, the female Yin General did not retaliate and simply dodged his strike.
Chen Guan struck repeatedly, and to his astonishment, the female Yin General kept dodging his Blood Hand Seals without counterattacking.
Chen Guan delivered over a dozen strikes, and the female Yin General avoided them all, not returning even a single strike.
"Here it comes again..." Xiu Jie Ming sensed a familiar vibe, musing inwardly.
Back at Chunyang Temple, while others had to fight desperately to pass the test, Chen Guanβs test seemed like a childβs play, clearly the Secret Spirit was going easy on him.
Originally, Xiu Jie Ming thought Chunyang Temple was lenient with Chen Guan because his talents aligned with its inheritance, thus granting him preferential treatment.
But now, even the Secret Spirits in the Emperorβs Tomb are letting him off the hook, so it was unlikely that it was merely a matter of talent.
The Pure Yang Dao Lineage of Chunyang Temple follows a path of Pure Yang.
Here, the Yin energy is overwhelming, filled with ghost-type Secret Spirits, which definitely cannot belong to the same lineage as Chunyang Temple.
Could one person like Chen Guan possess such extreme dual talents?
Others also watched Chen Guan on the arena with complex expressions, just like Xiu Jie Ming, witnessing him press the attack.
Hu Quan frowned so hard that it seemed he could crush flies between his brows, feeling secretly depressed: "This Chen Guan is quite lucky to encounter such a high-intelligence, easygoing Secret Spirit."
Chen Guan himself found it strange. Anyone could see that the female Yin General was going easy on him, so how could he not see it?
But he couldnβt understand why the female Yin General would go easy on him.
Back in the Chunyang Temple test, he was shown leniency because he was accompanied by Fairy Peony, something known by Chunyang Templeβs Secret Spirit, hence the leniency.
In the Emperorβs Tomb, Chen Guan had no such acquaintances, so he couldnβt fathom why the female Yin General would go easy on him.
"Could it be that the female Yin General finds me handsome and has some ulterior motives?" Chen Guan thought to himself.
Chen Guan shifted his steps, launching dozens of Blood Hand Seals, which were all evaded by the female Yin General.
The female Yin General didnβt retaliate once, going easy in such a manner that Chen Guan couldnβt resort to underhanded tactics. He wasnβt exerting his full strength, and the fight was proceeding peacefully.
"Let me return a strike. My technique is called the Netherworld Palm, the ultimate Yin, ultimate cold Secret Skill..." Before delivering her strike, the female Yin General reported her move, practically telling Chen Guan how to evade it.
Those below the stage were dumbfounded. Why, in this ghostly atmosphere, was there a whiff of a scandalous affair, utterly out of place with the tense atmosphere, giving off a flirtatious scent amid the tombs?
"Is this Chen Guan cursed or what?"
"I suspect he has a Charm Talent."
"He must have; I mean, given his background, how else could he gain the favor of Miss Ji? So thatβs the reason."
"Isnβt this the Innate Soft Rice Sacred Body?"
People from the corps watched with complex expressions.
Even Meng Xianren was stunned. When he went up, he was almost beaten like a dog, yet for Chen Guan, it was truly just βgo easy.β Had he known, he wouldβve requested the same treatment.
On stage, the fight was more of a spar than a duel.
Chen Guan avoided the female Yin Generalβs Netherworld Palm, returning a Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm with a shout, "Try my Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm..."
Chen Guan held back, and so did the female Yin General, their exchanges a courteous back-and-forth.
Hu Quan felt sick, wishing he could storm the stage and knock both the person and the ghost out to stop this nauseating display.
Hu Quan now seriously suspected that Chen Guan possessed a Charm Talent, and a very potent one at that; otherwise, how could the female Yin General behave this way?
"Young Master, you truly are gifted; I am no match for you. This round is yours," after a while, the female Yin General withdrew and conceded defeat.
"What the hell... not even pretending anymore..."
"Damn it!"
"Is that even allowed?"
"This is incredible. Iβve decided, I want Chen Guan as my teacher, to learn from his technique."
"Specify what technique you want to learn?"
"..."
"Leader, mission accomplished." Onstage, Chen Guan clasped his fist towards the crowd.
"Very well, wait on the side," Xiu Jie Ming said with a complex gaze, thinking, "Does this guy really have a Charm Talent? If Little Mei marries him, can she really keep him loyal?"
Even Chen Guan was puzzled about how he effortlessly passed the female Yin Generalβs trial, waiting for the others to test themselves.
"Anyone else want to challenge?" the female Yin General scanned the crowd below.
"Commander, let me go," said Zheng Hai, the commander of the third battalion, volunteering.
"Third Commander, be careful; if youβre overwhelmed, withdraw right away," Xiu Jie Ming instructed, preventing needless sacrifices.
"Rest assured, Commander, I will pass," Zheng Hai replied with confidence.
