God of Pets

Chapter 315: Admit Defeat
Gu Nanquan looked up at Chen Guan, the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly vanished, and he revealed a smile as bright as the sun breaking through the clouds: "Brother Dao is indeed powerful. I am not as good as you. With you here, I am relieved. So, I will leave the rest to you. Defeat Mantangcai for me."

After saying that, Gu Nanquan stepped down from the stage and left without any hesitation, showing a very carefree attitude.

"Don't worry, Brother Gu, it's okay if you're not good enough. I'm here, we'll definitely win," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Gu Nan paused for a moment, but did not turn around. With a smile still on his face, he returned to his seat and sat down. The smile on his face never left, as if he was very pleased.

Yang Hu and Yang Lang knew that Gu Nanquan was truly angry.

Seeing that Gu Nanquan was so patient, Chen Guan had no choice but to leave the fighting platform. He had wanted to provoke Gu Nanquan and make him reveal more of his abilities, but Gu Nanquan did not give him another chance.

Chen Guan's ranking rose to fourth. After stepping off the fighting stage, he challenged Zhang Huacai, who was ranked third.

"This person is really bad, he has no decency at all," Zhang Chunxiang thought to herself.

But when Chen Guan returned, Zhang Chunxiang was all smiles, addressing him as "fellow Daoist" repeatedly.

"Fellow Daoist, your armor is really cool, is it a set?"

"Fellow Daoist, is that a peerless set of equipment you have?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are too strong!"

Chen Guan suddenly had an epiphany about why the spirit of cheerleading could inspire people's potential.

Having someone constantly praising you, and always finding new ways to do so, is sure to provide motivation.

"What a pity, Zhang Chunxiang is the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, otherwise it would be nice to have her by my side to serve tea and water and call her '666'," Chen Guan thought to himself.

Besides, Miss Zhang is quite good-looking, so no matter how much you praise her, it won't make you feel offended.

"Brother Gu Nan, you flatter me. I hope I didn't hurt you?" Chen Guan provoked Gu Nanquan again, to see just how much he could endure.

It's the last day now, and the results will be finalized soon. There's no need to keep playing games with Gu Nanquan.

"It's nothing." Gu Nanquan suppressed his anger and didn't want to argue with Chen Guan.

“Brother Dao, you’re asking the wrong question. Even if someone is injured, how can they admit it if you ask in front of so many people? No matter how badly they’re injured, they certainly can’t admit it in front of so many people, that would be too embarrassing.” Zhang Chunxiang added insult to injury, she really knew how to handle the situation.

This makes people think that Gu Nanquan is injured but embarrassed to say so.

Gu Nanquan's eyes twitched, but he pretended not to hear and closed his eyes to rest.

"I see. Let's talk about it when we get back." Chen Guan chuckled to himself.

"We can't wait to go back. Why are your eyes closed? Could you have passed out from the serious injuries?" Zhang Chunxiang added, looking at Gu Nanquan who was resting with his eyes closed with a worried expression.

Gu Nanquan was so angry he almost vomited blood. He wasn't injured at all, but the two of them were making it sound like he had been seriously injured by Chen Guan and was about to die.

Gu Nanquan knew he couldn't win an argument with those two scoundrels, so he simply pretended to be dead and ignored them completely.

“Brother Dao, why isn’t he moving? Could he really have been killed by your counterattack? His body is too weak. He slashed at others several times, and they didn’t even fight back. He was killed by the counterattack himself. He’s too weak…” Zhang Chunxiang said to Gu Nanquan, seemingly shocked.

Hearing Zhang Chunxiang say this, many people around turned their heads to look.

Someone whispered, "No wonder he gave up; he was injured by the recoil."

"So you had a trick up your sleeve, fellow Daoist. It wasn't all thanks to your divine gear."

"..." "I'm fine." Gu Nanquan couldn't keep up the act any longer. If Zhang Chunxiang continued like this, people would really think that he had been killed by Chen Guan's counterattack.

"It's good that you're alright. Don't push yourself too hard..." Chen Guan said with concern.

“That’s right, my family is in the business of selling pills. We really don’t need these pills, there’s no need to force ourselves to accept this…” Zhang Chunxiang continued to follow up.

It wasn't until Chen Guan took the stage again that Gu Nanquan's mood gradually calmed down.

Jiang Qiemo, standing to the side, had a strange expression. He found it truly terrifying to see Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang together.

"Fellow Daoist, I can't break through your armor's defenses, so I'll concede defeat." Zhang Huacai gave up right away, admitting defeat before the fight even started.

"Don't worry, I won't use armor. We'll have a fair duel and stop when we've reached our limit," Chen Guan said.

"No, no, no, I admit defeat, you win." Zhang Huacai refused to believe Chen Guan, the fate of Gu Nanquan was still fresh in her mind.

He didn't want Chen Guan to stab him in the back from some unknown place. He would stop when he made his point, but would Chen Guan really stop?
No matter how sincerely Chen Guan pleaded with Zhang Huacai to stay, she still conceded defeat and stepped down without hesitation.

"To subdue the enemy without fighting, my friend, is truly a man of great talent." After Chen Guan returned, Zhang Chunxiang did not hold back her praise.

She truly doesn't care about anyone, and doesn't even care that the person who was wronged was her own brother.

"He didn't perform well, so it's just so-so." Chen Guan's shamelessness made Gu Nanquan unable to go up and slap him across the face.

Jiang Qiemo's expression was also somewhat strange. Although he wasn't exactly humble either, he was nowhere near as confident as Chen Guan.

"It seems I was too conservative before!" Jiang Qiemo thought to himself.

Chen Guan has already broken into the top three of the rankings, with only Jiang Qiemo in first place and Zhang Chunman in second.

Without much hesitation, Chen Guan signed up to continue the challenge.

The chance of the second-place winner getting a top-tier reward is definitely higher than the third-place winner.

Zhang Chunman had heard everything clearly from the side, including how Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang badmouthed Gu Nanquan.

He knew Zhang Chunxiang too well, and he knew that Zhang Chunxiang and Chen Guan had recently made a lot of money together. He knew that if he lost, he would definitely be verbally attacked by her.

Zhang Chunman gritted his teeth and decided not to go on stage.

Anyway, he didn't care about the rankings or rewards. He was just here to join in the fun and improve his practical experience. It didn't matter whether he got a ranking or not.

Zhang Chunman's abstention made Gu Nanquan even more upset.

Now that Jiang Qiemo and Chen Guan have secured first and second place, the Zhang family definitely has no chance of taking first place.

As for the previous plan to have Jiang Qiemo give up the first place, it now seems that it won't work.

"You're a dead fellow Daoist, huh... Very well... Wait until we enter the dragon's den and tiger's lair... and see how I deal with you..." Gu Nanben gritted his teeth in hatred.

He knew that Chen Guan was ranked first on the list of favorites, and securing the top spot should be no problem. When the Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair were opened later, he would be able to bring Chen Guan in as well.

Some things are not suitable to be used in front of others. Once he enters the den of dragons and tigers, he will have no more scruples. Breaking through Chen Guan's divine armor will not be difficult for him.
