God of Pets-Chapter 541: Master of Both Pen and Sword

"As I thought," Chen Guan led the team through several checkpoints, killing over five thousand demons, including those eliminated.

However, most of them were demon eliminators, with only a small part being the regular army.

This isn’t the focus; the key point is that with the death of these demons, the level of the paper puppet, which was stagnant, has started to rise again. In these two days, it has already risen by 3 levels, now reaching level 24.

Currently, Chen Guan is fully focused on raising the paper puppet’s level. Other pets, except for the Ten Thousand Poison Insect Emperor, have already reached level 30 and require a Fourth Awakening to continue leveling up, and presently they can’t be improved further.

Without a doubt, the battlefield is the place where the paper puppet upgrades the fastest.

Through these two days of testing, Chen Guan discovered that for the paper puppet’s upgrade, besides the condition of biological death, the higher the creature’s level, the more energy it provides to the paper puppet upon death, speeding up the puppet’s upgrade.

If things go on like this, if they clear all the checkpoints near Sun City and slaughter the demons within the city, maybe the puppet could reach level 30.

"It’s really difficult to raise my own level. I’ve consumed various heavenly treasures, but after so many days, still no level up. It’s much more challenging than during the Third Awakening. To reach level 40, it seems impossible even if I consume all the heavenly treasures I brought, so I can only focus on raising my pets’ levels," Chen Guan thought to himself, pondering how to achieve a Fourth Awakening for his commonly used pets.

Nan Zilan and the soldiers grew more excited as they killed more enemies. Although they didn’t head directly to Sun City, continuously destroying demon checkpoints and soldiers similarly boosted their confidence and fighting spirit, eliminating previous fears of demons.

Plus, with the resources looted from demons, soldiers within the team continued to level up.

Though all of them have the Sixth Sense, not all soldiers are maxed at level 60, most are actually below level 60.

Now, sustaining the battle with resources available, and with Chen Guan’s Spirit of the Cheerleaders’ blessing, they are leveling up rapidly, enhancing the entire team’s combat power.

Continuous good news reached the Ten Great Families and the City Lord’s Mansion, astonishing everyone.

They were somewhat incredulous that Bai Xiuyan and his team managed to destroy four demon checkpoints and executed over a thousand demon soldiers in two days.

This only counted the regular demon soldiers, excluding those cannon fodder eliminator demons.

With over three hundred riders, they slaughtered over a thousand demon soldiers—what an incredible achievement.

Apart from top human experts forcibly intervening in wars, humans hadn’t achieved such feats for a long time.

If such an achievement was due to Bai Xiuyan’s intervention, it would be acceptable.

But Bai Xiuyan, being half-crippled, hadn’t regained his peak fighting power. Even if he acted, achieving such feats remains uncertain.

Moreover, based on intelligence, Bai Xiuyan hadn’t acted at all; this achievement is entirely thanks to the team’s efforts.

"Is it really the indomitable force of desperate soldiers?" Someone marvelled at such achievements.

"I fear it’s not that simple," Jiang Yunxiang said, observing the intelligence, "Haven’t you noticed? Although this team belongs to Nan Zilan, the true commander seems to be the siblings from the Zi Family, especially Zi Donglai, who should be the actual commander."

"Are you saying this achievement was due to Zi Donglai’s command? That’s a bit much. I agree his Body Protection Divine Skill is indeed impressive, but he’s only at the Fourth Awakening. In this battlefield, he can’t play a big role. Relying solely on commanding can lead to such results? I’m not convinced."

Shang Feiyu remarked, "Even if his command ability is extraordinary, the soldiers’ inherent quality and ability are evident. Given a few months to train them, it might be possible. He just took over the team; what’s the use of excellent command? I think Bai Xiuyan must have intervened secretly."

"If it had been anyone else, I’d consider your theory plausible, but it’s Zi Donglai. I wouldn’t find it strange if he achieved anything remarkable," Chu Jianxiong shook his head and replied.

"Personal strength and commanding a battle are different concepts. Do you believe with his combat abilities, he has time to study leading battles?" Shang Feiyu remained skeptical.

"Is it possible Zi Donglai actually has time to study this?" Chu Jianxiong chuckled.

Shang Feiyu was speechless; even among the Ten Great Families, there’s a training plan in place.

They learn everything, but certainly with priorities.

Like Jiang Qiemo and Jiang Tianqing, Jiang Qiemo was trained for maximum combat strength, representing the Jiang Family’s ultimate fighting power against enemies.

But Jiang Tianqing was groomed to be a decision-maker; he excels in all aspects and has meticulous thinking, suitable for overseeing the family.

His combat talents are strong, but in comparison, enhancing combat strength wholeheartedly with Jiang Qiemo is more fitting.

Great families typically have evaluation systems and provide suitable paths for each family member.

Qin Qiu is strong too, but he needs to manage family affairs, preventing full dedication to cultivation, hence choosing Qin Ziyu as the one dedicated to cultivation.

If you switch their roles, Jiang Qiemo and Qin Ziyu might struggle with handling the family’s complex affairs, while Qin Qiu and Jiang Tianqing might lack the focus for unperturbed cultivation.

If the Ten Great Families can’t achieve this, can Zi Donglai truly become a versatile leader—a prodigy acclaimed worldwide?

Shang Feiyu found it unreliable, although admitting Zi Donglai’s combat prowess is unmatched at the same level, but unable to believe his commanding ability is equally extraordinary.

"Celestial Yang City has dispatched two thousand soldiers from the Thousand Break Army to block Zi Donglai’s team." The latest intelligence dampened everyone’s spirits.

The Thousand Break Army is Sun City’s guard, trained personally by Mo Qianpo, an elite troop unlike ordinary checkpoint demons.

"This isn’t good; Zi Donglai’s team seems to have made a misjudgment, compounded by a lack of reliable intelligence, now trapped at the banks of Rock River." More bad news followed.

Despite previous stunning achievements, facing two thousand Thousand Break Army soldiers with over three hundred riders leaves little chance of success.

"Who leads the Thousand Break Army?" Zhang Xuanqing pondered aloud.

Jiang Yunxiang searched the intelligence, saying, "The deputy of Mo Qianpo, Lei Yan." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Upon hearing Lei Yan leads the army, everyone’s hearts sank further.

Lei Yan, known as the Nine Demon City’s Chief Instructor, excels in training soldiers, instilling obedience in rebellious demons—something not achievable by ordinary people.

Lei Yan himself might lack miraculous battle records, but his troop leadership is steady, following fundamental strategies, using more to overtake less, never known defeat.

Having Lei Yan leading is indeed the steady choice.

"It’s no surprise Zi Donglai’s team is caught at Rock River, with Lei Yan leading the soldiers," Zhang Xuanqing sighed.
