God of Pets-Chapter 672: Disciple, You Are a Genius

The Innate Eight Techniques is a very complex composite secret skill, formed by the combination of eight different secret skills.

Unlike general composite secret skills, the eight secret skills of the Innate Eight Techniques are not a fixed combination but can be disassembled and reassembled.

Any few of them can be combined to trigger different effects.

Some secret skills form a destructive enhancement effect when paired, while others form a defensive effect.

Some secret skills combined become Body Technique secret skills, while others become Body Protection secret skills.

The combination formed by the eight secret skills can meet various needs. Just practicing these eight secret skills can handle most situations, saving time and energy from learning additional secret skills.

Composite skills like the Innate Eight Techniques, which can be freely combined and disassembled, are hard to find elsewhere in the Divine Land.

Most composite secret skills can also add or reduce secret skills, but this addition or reduction does not affect the function of the original secret skill.

Just like Chen Guan's Body Protection Divine Skill, whether a secret skill is added or removed, it remains a Body Protection Divine Skill, different from the Innate Eight Techniques.

King Ji's Innate Eight Techniques have not reached perfection; there are still some issues with the combinations of secret skills.

He shows it to Chen Guan, hoping Chen Guan can help him find solutions.

Chen Guan lets King Ji demonstrate while he observes in the Ultimate of the Infinite state. Though he cannot solve all problems, he does offer some suggestions to inspire King Ji, earning his increasing trust.

King Ji becomes less reserved, presenting Chen Guan with various problems encountered in his cultivation for advice.

Chen Guan knows the more he learns, the higher the possibility of King Ji killing him, suspecting from the start that King Ji never intended for him to survive.

"This one is truly ruthless. Fortunately, I won't truly die," Chen Guan thought to himself, relieved.

Chen Guan spent a long time mingling with King Ji, who hesitated to practice the secret technique given by Chen Guan and hadn't made the Ninth Awakening breakthrough.

Gradually, King Ji began to feel dissatisfied with Chen Guan, suspecting that Chen Guan was withholding information, thus delaying his breakthrough.

Noticing the change in King Ji's attitude, Chen Guan knows that without offering something, he might not enjoy Heavenly and Earthly Treasures anymore.

"Disciple, do you know why you've not achieved a breakthrough?" Chen Guan wisely raised the issue before Ji Changsheng reached a breaking point.

"Please, Master, enlighten me." Ji Changsheng was slightly taken aback that Chen Guan initiated this topic. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"You haven't made a breakthrough because you're too smart," Chen Guan sighed.

"How so?" Ji Changsheng frowned.

Chen Guan explained: "From what I know of you, your talent is unmatched even in the Celestial Secret Realm, especially in creativity, it's unrivaled. No Secret Spirit can compare to you. So, you are very smart, much smarter than any Secret Spirit. But because of your intelligence, it's hard to have breakthroughs."

"Secret Spirits are not nearly as complex as humans, thus they can wholeheartedly cultivate with absolute belief, achieving breakthroughs."

"But you have too many thoughts, think too much, failing to reach a realm free of distractions, making focused cultivation difficult, hence the delay in making breakthroughs."

"So, it's not that you lack talent or that the secret technique is flawed, but because you overthink leading to such results. You should understand the wisdom of appearing simple-minded despite your intelligence."

Upon hearing this, King Ji contemplated deeply before nodding at Chen Guan: "Master's teachings are correct; my thoughts are too distracting, preventing single-minded cultivation."

Realizing that Chen Guan wasn't entirely wrong, he retained skepticism towards Chen Guan, never fully trusting him.

He practiced the given secret technique cautiously, constantly judging any clues revealing flaws.

While practicing, he lost the focus necessary to break through the Celestial Being's limits, which was understandable.

Chen Guan actually only mentioned half the reason. King Ji's breakthrough struggled partly due to lack of complete focus and determination.

The other half was because this practice was intended for female practitioners like Ming Fei; King Ji, being a man, faced inherent barriers, making it a challenging achievement.

Chen Guan used the Spirit of the Cheerleaders on Ji Changsheng, hoping it would yield some results even if it didn't help make the breakthrough.

As long as Ji Changsheng saw some hope, Chen Guan could linger a bit longer.

Indeed, after this, Ji Changsheng reverted to his previous attitude, and Chen Guan continued receiving Heavenly and Earthly Treasures daily.

Ji Changsheng seemed to make some progress and stopped visiting Chen Guan with questions like before.

However, this good life didn't last long. After a while, Ji Changsheng hit another bottleneck and frequently consulted Chen Guan, sometimes several times a day.

He attempted to clear his mind, making some progress, yet still failed to make the breakthrough.

Chen Guan thought: "It's only normal for a man to struggle with this breakthrough, succeeding would be unusual."

Despite his thoughts, Chen Guan couldn't state this to Ji Changsheng, and could only sigh, "Disciple, our master-disciple fate may soon end."

"Why does Master say so? There are many things I still need your guidance on," Ji Changsheng replied calmly.

Chen Guan looked at Ji Changsheng and said: "Disciple, I know when you make the breakthrough, it will be my time to depart."

"You're overthinking, Master," Ji Changsheng frowned slightly.

"I'm not a foolishly hopeful person; I'm clearer on the outcome than you are," Chen Guan calmly stated. "Despite knowing you will kill me upon your breakthrough, I teach you because you show possibilities previously unimaginable."

Before Ji Changsheng could respond, Chen Guan continued: "Even in the Celestial Secret Realm, your talent and wisdom are unmatched, particularly your intelligence, which astonishingly impresses me. Initially, I wanted to stall, to find a chance to escape."

"But during our time together, I realized you might reach heights I never could, dreams I never dared to explore."

Chen Guan gazed intently at Ji Changsheng, saying: "Even knowing you will kill me post-breakthrough, knowing you're my enemy, I can't help but teach you, to witness you reach dreams I yearn for."
