God of Pets

Chapter 299 Least Skilled

"That's good." Chen Guan smiled, his gaze casually sweeping across the crowd.

"Do you want to eat anything more?" Jiang Qiemo asked.

"Of course I want to eat. I really haven't eaten anything, and I really want to eat something," Chen Guan said, rubbing his stomach.

Jiang Qiemo took Chen Guan to eat and told him about the current situation of the Ranking of People.

Because the three Zhang brothers chose to compete in the rankings this month, many top cultivators chose not to compete in the rankings this month out of respect for the Zhang family. Therefore, the difficulty of competing in the rankings this month is not high.

After dinner, on the way back with Jiang Qiemo, Chen Guan bought several gambling tickets, betting on the three Zhang brothers to each win first place.

Since we didn't know which of the Zhang brothers would win, we bought tickets for all of them, just like betting on which horse would win. If even one of them won, we should still be able to make some money.

“If you buy now, you won’t make any money at all. Everyone knows the Zhang brothers are popular, and too many people are betting on them to win. You won’t get much of the prize money,” Jiang Qiemo said.

"Even winning a little is good." Chen Guan smiled and put away the betting tickets.

When the two returned to the Human Ranking Fighting Arena, they saw Gu Nanquan fighting someone on the fighting stage.

Gu Nanquan relied on his agility to dodge, his movements as swift as a butterfly flitting among flowers, dazzling the onlookers. Although his opponent's swordsmanship was also extremely powerful, he was never able to harm him.

"Gu Nanquan's movement skills are quite impressive," Chen Guan remarked, watching the battle.

"His footwork is excellent, but his best skill is his swordsmanship; his sword is incredibly fast," Jiang Qiemo said, watching the battle unfold.

"How fast?" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised. Even Jiang Qiemo said his knife was very fast, so it must be extremely fast.

As Chen Guan said this, he suddenly saw Gu Nanquan's hand holding the hilt of his sword seem to move slightly, but he did not see his sword being drawn.

His opponent staggered back several steps, a long bloodstain appearing on his breastplate. His face turned extremely pale, and he immediately surrendered and jumped off the fighting platform.

"What a fast blade!" Chen Guan narrowed his eyes. With his keen eyesight, he couldn't even see Gu Nanquan draw and retract his blade. This swordsmanship was truly incredibly fast.

“Humans blink frequently, and in that blink, his sword has already finished its strike, making it seem as if his sword is so fast that it’s invisible. As long as you don’t blink when you’re facing him, you can see him draw his sword,” Jiang Qiemo said.

Chen Guan then realized why he hadn't seen him draw his sword earlier; it turned out that he had blinked just as the sword was drawn.

"This is the real art of killing with a blink, far more powerful than your 'Blinking Sword'," Chen Guan teased with a smile.

“The Blinking Sword Technique can do the same, but it’s not very effective against Mystic Spirits because many Mystic Spirits don’t blink at all. This kind of sword technique must have been created to deal with humans,” Jiang Qiemo said.

As the two were talking, Gu Nanquan returned. This time he accepted the challenge, not the other way around, so his ranking remained unchanged at fourth place.

"Brother Gu's swordsmanship is incredibly fast," Chen Guan praised, his words sincere; it was indeed very fast.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Daoist. My swordsmanship is passable, but everything else is just so-so." After saying this modestly, Gu Nanquan asked Chen Guan, "When will you start the challenge, fellow Daoist? There are less than six days left. It will take a lot of time to break into the top three. I don't know if you'll make it in time."

"There's still time, let's start now." Chen Guan said, getting up and walking to the edge of the fighting arena, where there was a small tiger-head monument with the rankings of the top one hundred.

Chen Guan wasn't ranked yet, so he could only challenge the bottom 100th person one by one, without skipping levels. He pressed his handprint on the 100th person's name, signifying his decision to challenge.

If no one else is challenging him, Chen Guan can go on stage immediately. If someone has already challenged him, then Chen Guan needs to wait in line until no one else is challenging him before he can go on stage.

Once someone on the leaderboard is challenged, they must accept the challenge. If they do not enter the arena to accept the challenge within 15 minutes, their ranking will disappear and be taken over by the challenger. Others will automatically fill the vacancy.

There were still many people ahead of Chen Guan in the challenge, so he could only go back and wait.

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

I originally thought that the challenges on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking would be full of experts, but after watching several duels, I found that both sides were quite ordinary, not even at the level of ordinary soldiers in the Heavenly Court Army, and some were even much weaker.

This is partly due to the Zhang brothers' efforts to climb the rankings, but the overall level of cultivators on the leaderboard this month is not high.

However, the fact that these people dare to try and climb the rankings shows that the cultivation levels of the practitioners here are indeed uneven.

There may indeed be many powerful individuals, but there are also quite a few ordinary practitioners.

Actually, Chen Guan's standards were too high. What he considered ordinary cultivators were actually quite famous geniuses in some places.

The reason they appear weak is because even the most ordinary soldiers in the Heavenly Army are handpicked. Before joining the reserve force, weren't they all geniuses from certain cities?

In addition to the resources and training provided by the Heavenly Army itself, even the most ordinary soldiers in the Heavenly Army are exceptional individuals, one in ten thousand among ordinary people.

However, this does not mean that there are no outstanding people among ordinary people. On the contrary, there are many outstanding geniuses among ordinary people, but they are scattered in countless cities of so many blessed lands, and only a small number of them come to compete for the Dragon and Tiger List.

After watching for a while, I saw one or two people with decent strength. Most of them were cultivators who had already been ranked and were continuing to challenge for higher positions.

Finally, it was Chen Guan's turn. Chen Guan went up on the stage, and soon another person also went up to the fighting ring.

Chen Guan naturally didn't know who the person was, and wondered if he should ask the other person's name first, to appear more magnanimous.

Having more friends means having more options. If I can make friends all over the world, I might be able to rally a large following and overthrow the ten major families, accomplishing what Chen Xinghe failed to do.

Without saying a word, the man came up and slashed at us with his knife.

Seeing this, Chen Guan didn't waste any words. He kicked the other person to the ground, and after a while, the other person couldn't get up and directly gave up and admitted defeat.

After winning, Chen Guan still has to go back to put his handprints in line. He is currently ranked 100th, so he can only challenge the 99th ranked person.

After Chen Guan pressed his fingerprint, he went back to wait.

"Brother Dao is indeed amazing, your leg techniques are superb." Gu Nanquan returned the favor by giving Chen Guan a thumbs up when he returned.

"Leg techniques are the skill I'm least proficient in," Chen Guan said with a smile, showing no intention of modesty.

Gu Nanquan was taken aback by Chen Guan's words, but quickly laughed again: "Then I really look forward to your performance next, fellow Daoist."
